Chapter Twenty-Six: The Wolf Demon
"It's the dragon demon transformed by essence blood, and it's also its essence. I didn't want you to take it, even if it was me, I wouldn't necessarily take this bloodstone, and at that time, the ghost world would be leaderless, and it would be a big chaos, so I called you back. ”
Xi Yao knew that this situation was serious, but she was not dealing with the political affairs of the past, if she suddenly took over the political affairs, it would definitely arouse the suspicion of the Six Realms, and some people who were eyeing the enemy before and wanted to attack would definitely send troops at this time.
"Imperial brother, there is no need to discuss this matter, I will go and get the dragon blood stone, you take good care of your father, I will definitely get the dragon blood stone, in the past, my father asked the imperial brother to act as the ghost emperor, there must be a reason, so you don't have to take the bloodline matter to heart, even if Ah Yao can't come back, please take the overall situation of the imperial brother seriously."
After Xi Yao finished speaking, she saluted quite solemnly, and did not give Mo Yan Mo Yu time to refute, and then turned around and walked out of her father's bedroom.
The current thing, not to mention when the poison is in, it is better to solve it first.
Xi Yao returned to the dormitory, just put a few pieces of clothes brought back from the Nine Heavens in a storage bag, stuffed a few necessary items, and connected many charms and banners, and hurried on the road.
Before she left the palace gate, Mo Yu stopped her.
She also knew Mo Yu's thoughts, he wanted to protect her all the way, but Mo Yan was sitting in the imperial palace, and the Northern Desert had not been very stable, and at this time, Mo Yu was needed to be ready to go into battle at any time, so she couldn't take this risk.
Moreover, if she is alone, she would be able to show her fists and feet, and the magic and martial arts she has practiced since she was a child and the secret techniques of the ghost world can be greeted together, and no one will see that she is obvious.
She thought for a while, and just as she wanted to speak, Mo Yu was one step ahead of her.
"A-Yao, go all the way, be careful."
Xi Yao smiled dryly, only to understand.
It turned out that she was too careful, and Mo Yu must also know the general situation, without the simplicity of the past, she can afford to do big things.
She finally glanced back at the imperial palace, turned over on her horse, and whipped away, the dust brought up by the horse's hooves was blowing one after another, but there was no trace of nostalgia.
The use of the Ghost Shadow Step requires a lot of energy, and besides, from the Imperial Palace to the West Sea, it has long exceeded the scope of the Ghost Shadow Step, so Xi Yao has to change a horse every time she arrives at a station, and there is almost no rest in the middle, so it will take nearly ten days to travel.
It's the fourth day, and Xi Yao is nibbling on the dry food she brought from the city the day before yesterday, and it's not easy to hurry at night, so it's just right for Ma to rest.
Pity her for a princess in the ghost world, who is so embarrassed because she is in a hurry.
I haven't slept in days. Xi Yao thought about it for a while, and summoned two or three ghost envoys with ghost talismans, asking them to keep watch at night and sleep for a while.
A few days of road is really tiring, this night Xi Yao slept deeply, when the sky was slightly bright, she heard a horse neighing in her dream, and woke up suddenly, touched the sword beside her, but looked around, and did not find any figure, not even a ghost.
No, what about the ghost messenger she summoned? It shouldn't even be ghosted.
The horse that had just neighed seemed to have passed through Xi Yao's inspection, nothing serious, but I didn't know how the ghost envoy disappeared, and since the ghost envoy disappeared, it was okay......
Someone secretly protected her.
When such thoughts flashed through her mind, the first thing that came to her mind was Sensami.
It's better to say that she would prefer to be an immortal.
Skillfully turning over and getting on the horse, she didn't have time to think about this now, flicked the whip, and continued to drive is the point.
Behind a tree not far away, a pair of eyes were glued to her distant back.
It was the sixth day, and she was a little tired and nervous from traveling alone these days, and as the sun was approaching that day, she saw a ruined inn not far ahead, and she decided to spend the night here so that the horses could rest.
Xi Yao tied the horse to the door of the inn and pushed the door in, the wooden door struggled to make a piercing creak, the thick layer of soil on the ground and the cobwebs covered in the house gave people a desolate feeling, but fortunately it could still live in people.
Xi Yao walked to the back garden, it was still empty, and she was thinking that she could only find some forage for the horse from outside, but when she came out of the inn, the scene in front of her made her almost throw up.
Her horse, dead.
The horse's head was almost separated from the body, and the blood with the heat was still pouring out of the wound, and the horse's belly was picked open by something sharp, which should have been gnawed, and the ground was full of blood.
The smell of blood in the air connected with this desolate and dilapidated inn, making Xi Yao break out in a cold sweat.
This kind of killing method should not be a simple animal, if it is not a demon, it is a beast with a demonic nature, and she is in a hurry, she has not eaten well, and her strength is limited, even if she tries her best, she may not be able to beat such a monster.
Her hand rested on the hilt of the sword at her waist, consciously or unconsciously, and although her body did not move, she kept an eye on the movements around her, after all, the beast had just killed her horse, and was probably waiting nearby to attack her.
The footsteps were soft, but the smell of blood betrayed it.
Xi Yao took advantage of the moment when it jumped over, turned over and jumped behind it, the thing flew into the air, and immediately turned around, opening her mouth and breathing heavily.
Half-human, half-wolf, and red-eyed, I am afraid that it is a wolf demon who has fallen into the devil, but before he has fully cultivated into a human body, he will come out to harm living beings.
This is really tricky, Xi Yao has not yet stood firm, and the wolf demon is about to pounce again, but she dodges it, but suddenly finds that there is not only one wolf demon around, at least four wolves!
Damn it. If this continues, her physical strength will be exhausted sooner or later.
At least until she runs out of energy, if she uses a ghost blade...... It still has a chance of winning.
But she's gambling on whether the person who has been protecting her will show up.
Once, twice, three times...... The wolf demon's attack came wave after wave, and the four wolves pounced together, and her sword just touched a certain wolf demon, and it would be immediately discovered by the other wolf demons, and then bite her sword or pounce violently.
They worked well together, and she was surrounded by them, and this time they were very cautious, just yelling at her, but not daring to make a move.
The circle around her is getting smaller and smaller, and the figures hiding in the shadows are always ready to give orders......
A ghost talisman was pinched in her hand, it was already slightly wet with sweat, she wanted to find a time to pinch the spell and call out the ghost envoy, but she was afraid that when the spell was pinched, the wolf demon would pounce on the group and attack.
She closed her eyes a little resignedly, pinched the mantra and chanted it, only to feel a gust of wind around her, and when she opened her eyes again, only the wolf demon was scattered on the ground in front of her, whimpering in pain.
The white clothes in front of her finally fulfilled her wish.
"Are you okay?"
The same flat tone as the Nine Heavens. She breathed a sigh of relief, and her eyes went dark.
I don't know how long she slept, and when she woke up, it was already afternoon, and she got out of bed and saw that she was in a clean inn, although it was a little simpler, but it also had everything.
There was a knock on the door, Zigui walked in with a porridge, and was not surprised to see Xi Yao, who had woken up, but just put the porridge on the table and called her to eat.
"Where are we now?"
"West Coast."
"And how long did I sleep?"
"Less than two days."
"You brought me to the West Sea in less than two days?!"
"Surprised...... Eat porridge quickly, it's going to be cold. ”
Zigui's bland tone made Xi Yao feel much more stable, although she drank the porridge obediently, she was still anxious to find the dragon demon.
Zigui was not so anxious, only said that there is a reef island at the junction of the demon world and the dragon clan, and the island is the residence of the dragon demon, but this reef island is not easy to find, and it needs to be taken in the evening, and no spells can be used.
"It's only afternoon now, you have rested, you are refreshed, and you can go to that reef island tonight."
Xi Yao responded, and called the fairy again, Zi responded, and looked back at her, but she didn't know whether to speak for a while.
Asked him why he was protecting her all the way? But she was afraid, afraid that she would be full of expectations and get the answer she didn't want, so she had to say thank you with a dry smile, and put her head in the quilt and pretended to sleep.
Zigui poured a cup of tea, picked up the teacup, and his eyes drifted in the mist for a while.
He followed along the way, but he felt that he was not the only one who followed Xi Yao, and when he arrived that night, he was encountering the ghost envoy annihilation, and the horse was frightened before neighing, but the person who attacked her was gone, and he could destroy him with one blow when the ghost envoy did not have time to inform the master, presumably this person has profound skills.
Who can there be...... He frowned slightly.
In fact, he has a point in his heart, but there is no real evidence, so it is inconvenient for him to speculate.
Zigui raised his eyes and glanced at someone who was pretending to be asleep with his head covered with a quilt on the bed, and couldn't help but feel funny again.
"A-Yao, don't get bored."
Xi Yao lifted the quilt and inhaled.
"Not really."
"Don't you sleep?"
"As you said, I've slept for two days, and I can still sleep."
Xi Yao sat up from the bed and walked around the room twice, bored, so she had to open the window and look at the scenery outside in a daze.
It was getting dark outside, and it was almost sunset time.
"A-Yao, it's time for us to go."
Xi Yao came back to her senses, and as soon as she retracted her gaze, she was grabbed by Zigui with one hand, and with only a burst of white light, she arrived at the shore.
The relationship has been a long time for the past two days...... Isn't this a momentary thing......
Zigui said that he had prepared a boat to wait on the shore, and although the road to the reef island was not easy to walk, if he relied on the immortal method to drive the direction of the ship, it was more or less reassuring.
At this time, there was an extra person on the boat who should not have appeared in Xi Yao's eyes.
The wind is sound.
"I said, Prince Feng," Xi Yao thrust into her waist, looking helpless. "Why are you everywhere?"
"I should have said this, Your Highness, this is the realm of my demon realm and the dragon clan, is it strange that I appear here?"
It doesn't seem strange......
"Then you, take care of yourself."
Xi Yao hugged her fists and made a casual salute, and then looked for Zigui to find the boat, but as soon as she stepped out, she saw Zigui walking towards Feng Wuxian.
"Third prince, this boat, but this immortal has already prepared."
"Yes, although this ship was prepared by you, but when you want to think of the reef island, you still lack someone who knows the way."
