Chapter 5: Fox Friends (5)

When Xia Mu was thrown to the ground and screamed, he had scolded a hundred and eight times in his heart: Why is it always me who is unlucky! Why am I the only one who was caught!

"Stay honest! I will sacrifice you to the Wolf King tonight. Hum! Two guards closed the door and locked her in the room.

"Hey!" Is there a mistake? There's no point in sacrificing yourself to the Wolf King! You know, in order to look good on camera, I have controlled my weight very much, okay? With my body, you wolf kings can't stuff your teeth enough!

I got up and tapped the door a few times, but there was no movement outside the door, so I could only sit back on the wooden bench in the room.

Alas! shouldn't be angry with Situ Lan, if you don't have the ability, your temper shouldn't be so big! Well, now let's die! Speaking of which, it has been the third day since Situ Lan and Xia entered the demon world......

Three days ago.

"Immortal Venerable, sister, there is the demon world in front, you ...... You ready? Summer asked.

"Well, it's ready."

Situ Lan didn't speak, which was a tacit acquiescence.

Xia took out a cloth bag from his arms and handed it to Xia Mu, and said, "Sister, you don't have a spell, you can't protect yourself like Immortal Venerable, this ...... It's the fox fur left by my mother, you put it on your body, you can blind your eyes, and you won't be seen by those ordinary demons that you are a living person. ”

"Okay, thank you." Xia Mu unceremoniously put the cloth bag in his pocket.

Finally, after successfully entering the demon world, the summer curtain is an eye-opening, and the streets are full of bizarre animals walking in human clothes, which is simply in a "Crazy Zootopia". Sure enough, the whole thing is also a biological chain of the weak and the strong, and the little demons are often the servants or retinues of the big demons, and they are hunched in front of the saddle and behind the horse. There are even pets raised by the big demons, with an iron chain tied around the neck and the other end in the hands of the big demons.

Moreover, on the street in the blue sky and daylight, it is not unusual for demons to eat demons, just now, a monster with the appearance of a man-eating flower passed by Xia Mu, and then swallowed a rat demon beside it in one bite.

Xia Mu really felt scared, excited, and surprised, so he asked Summer in a low voice, "What if they found out that I am an ordinary person?" ”

“…… May be eaten. ”

“!!!” Xia Mu unconsciously shook the cloth bag with fox fur in his waist.

"Follow me." Situ Lan suddenly turned around and said.

"Howler!" If you don't say it, I'm sure I'm also clinging to you and can't put it.

"Immortal Venerable, where are we going now?" Summer asked.

"The territory of the wolf clan, start with the wolf king."

"Huh?!" Summer opened his mouth wide and didn't close it for a long time, is this Immortal Venerable so direct? "However, it is not easy to get close to the wolf king. I haven't seen him yet, but I've heard that he's surrounded by so many guards that ordinary goblins can't get even half a step close to him. ”

"I'll take a look." Situ Lan didn't look embarrassed for a long time, as if going to the wolf clan to find the wolf king was like going back to his own backyard.

"Wow!" Summer hesitated, "Okay." When does Immortal Venerable plan to go? This is a smoke-free city, the city lord is a locust tree spirit, go out of this city to the east, not far from the connected is the city of devouring sorrow, where is the territory of the wolf king, and the wolf king palace is in the center of the city. If we pass through this smoke-free city, it will take at least a day. ”

The three of them determined the direction, and with the route, the next thing was to quietly shuttle through the side of the road in the city, and go to the City of Devouring Grief. Along the way, Situ Lan was silent, and even Xia Mu said a lot less, after all, this person is not familiar with the place, and if she is caught, she doesn't want to die in such a strange place.

When night fell, we finally came to the City of Sorrow. Summer Curtain was a little stunned - it was so much more prosperous than it looked in the world! Thinking that I was in Jialai Town, I couldn't even find a night market to eat something good. Look at this place again, although it is already night, but the street is still brightly lit, everywhere there are figures surging, the cries of selling are endless, and several towering wooden buildings are hung with red lanterns, for fear that people will not know that it is opening its doors to do business. The whole streamer is colorful, bustling everywhere, and the picture seems to have switched from "Zootopia" to the night market in "Spirited Away". It's not lively! This makes her, a woman who has been forced to be pure every day since she came to this world, and can only face gray and gray every day, and her heart is in turmoil, where is this dangerous demon world, it is heaven at all.

You must know how hard it took to hold back the urge to rush into the lights and go shopping!

"What's next?" I have to say that she will be hungry and tired, and she may not have the strength to do anything other than let her go shopping.

"Settle down." Situ Lan was simple and clear.

"OK, settle down. But where are we going? "It seems that there are really a lot of hotels in the demon clan, and they are still flashing neon. Most of the signs say what kind of gentle township, Chunlai Courtyard, Yiqing Pavilion and the like, isn't this street a red light district? But will they be able to live?

"Sister, look, we can all stay in those inns." Summer said.

"Really?" Try to hide your excitement.

"Of course, it's the one that needs the Immortal Venerable...... Silver taels. "When it comes to money in the summer, I'm also shy.

Alas! They're all poor! Xia Mu turned sideways to look at Situ Lan and didn't speak.

"There it is." Situ Lan pointed with his hand, and the two looked at Moxianglou.

Well, it sounds a little more decent. The three of them walked into the inn decisively, and the shopkeeper was an orangutan with a huge head, and the second child who ran the hall had sheep, monkeys, and foxes.

The fox is obviously a female, obviously transformed into a human form, but the big tail behind it doesn't know how to converge at all, swaying left and right, and it seems that the whole person is also charming when he walks, and he grows lotus step by step.

"Shopkeeper, I want three upper rooms." Having money is full of confidence, especially when it comes to the demon world, how can it be regarded as your own territory, and it seems that even your waist is much straighter in summer.

"Okay." The orangutan shopkeeper didn't talk much, but he was quick to do things, and after collecting the money, he gave the house card to Summer.

The three of them went upstairs together, as soon as they opened the door, Xia Mu felt that this should be his own style, the gauze curtain next to the bed was actually peach-pink, the brocade quilt on the wooden bed was golden, there was no candlestick on the table, but there was a night pearl embedded in it, and the ornaments were full of luxury and romance, and even the wind chimes were still hanging by the window, which were still made of shells.

When Xia Mu was lying on the bed and enjoying himself, there was a knock on the door: "Sister, are you hungry?" Let's go get something to eat first. ”

"Okay, I'm here." Hearing that he could eat, Xia Mu quickly got up to open the doorway, only to see that Summer had turned back into a little fox. "What are you doing?"

"What's the matter. In the demon world, most of the demons still live in their original form, and only some small demons who are practicing the human body, or big demons who can maintain their human form for a long time with a higher cultivation, will swim in human form. A little demon like me is very tired after maintaining a human form for so long, so it is naturally most comfortable to return to my own state. Summer explained.

"Oh, I see, no wonder I saw people walking in the street and thought they were just like us. In other words, those people are big demons at all? ”

"Well, that's not right."

"Huh?" Didn't understand.

"In the demon world, there are indeed monks who often come in, and most of these monks have signed a contract with a demon in the demon world, or the demon works for others, which is what your human race calls the spiritual pet. Either the demon has subdued the monk, which is called spiritual cultivation in our demon world, which is actually similar to the meaning of what you humans call spiritual pets. ”

"Can demons still ambush people?"

"Of course you can, when a demon and a person decide to sign a contract, they will make an appointment for a competition, and naturally whoever wins the competition can become the party leading the contract."

"Oh, so there are still such things, I see, it's fair."

The two chatted and found a remote place in the lobby to sit down, and Situ Lan then came downstairs.

"Sister, try it, this is a famous dish in our demon world." Summer is excited to introduce.

"This is a famous dish?" A black lump, said to be a famous dish?

"yes, grilled chicken heart." Summer has already started to drool.

"Hehe, you eat, you eat more." Xia Mu endured a little nausea, but thinking that summer was a fox, and eating chicken was originally natural, it was still understandable. In fact, I also ate grilled chicken hearts when I was skewering, but I don't know why, watching a group of animals around me spin around, the dish in front of me became disgusting. "Anything else?"

"Grilled fish? Braised pork? Steamed whole duck? ”

"Well, there is no vegetarian one. I've been losing weight these days and want to be vegetarian. "No, you can't really watch them dangle in front of your eyes and chew on them again.

"Eating grass?" Summer looked questioning.

"No, no, no, like noodles, flatbread, steamed buns, that's it." It's so miserable, why have you already reached such a brightly lit place, and you still have to eat these.

"Okay, I'll go talk to Xiao Er." Summer shrugged, humans are really strange, he has obviously seen the summer curtain munch on pork chops.

Situ Lan didn't make a sound since he sat down, just drank tea quietly. Xia Mu saw that Xia got up and went to find the shopkeeper, so she turned her head to him again and asked, "When will you act?" ”

"Evening."

"Okay, what am I going to do?"

"Sleep."

"Hmm. Well? "Sleep?

"I'll go alone."

"Do you think I'm holding back?"

"......" Situ Lan.

Sure enough, in his eyes, he is probably just a waste person who eats and sleeps poorly. Seeing that he didn't speak, Xia Mu sat up straight with interest.

The truth was true, but a nameless anger rose in her heart. Since she was a child, she has been accustomed to doing everything by herself, and she has never relied on anyone, and no one can rely on her. There is no sense of security in the first place, and there is always a feeling of being under the fence, and for some reason, this moment has become particularly profound. She felt that Situ Lan seemed to have been disgusting herself, but he was deep, he was graceful, he was tolerant, and he didn't say it!

After this meal, Xia Mu was not happy to eat. First of all, the noodles here are really not delicious, and then the most important thing is that Situ Lan did not say another word after that, let alone explain.
