Chapter 269: Bloody Battle Soul Eater
The three brothers rushed to the Chiyan Cave in Beishan, and as soon as they entered the cave door, they felt a wave of heat rushing to their faces, and the three of them were full of footsteps, back to back into a defensive situation, and cautiously walked towards the cave step by step.
After walking for about half a mile, the cave suddenly opened up, and two raging flames were strangely suspended in the air, and by the light of the flames, they saw at a glance that the three women who had fainted were hanging from the top of the cave with their arms tied to iron chains.
And beneath their feet was a bottomless pool of water, boiling and tumbling as if it were boiling, filled with scorching steam, which was a little suffocating.
Mu Yunsong knew in his heart: under this cave, there is a volcano, the lava in the mountain is scorching, boiling the water in this pool, once it falls, it must be skin and flesh, and will be scalded to death.
Who is so vicious...... When he was angry, he raised his eyes and saw that on a boulder next to the pond, there was an old Taoist priest at some point, with a long beard on his thin face, and a bewitching red Taoist robe, which looked weird and hideous.
The red-clothed demon laughed a few times, and his voice was as sharp and piercing as a fingernail cutting through a wall: "The Mu family brothers came alone, but they kept their promises. ”
The three brothers immediately stood still in three directions, and Mu Yunsong asked the Taoist priest, "Who are you?" ”
"Although you don't know Dao Ye and me, but you are familiar with it," Demon Dao pointed not far away with the dust in his hand, "It should be no stranger." ”
The three brothers looked along his dust, and saw that not far from the three girls on the edge of the pool, there was a monster beast squatting like a giant ape and covered in long hair, with a black gas all over its body, and its body was empty and real, and there were two black holes in the eyes, and a big mouth with a pair of long fangs was panting heavily, looking impatient to pounce.
The three brothers immediately understood: this was the Soul Eater Beast that had been harassing them for a long time!
Mu Yunsong saw that there was a yellow cinnabar charm on its head, and he understood that the Soul Eater Beast was currently being suppressed by this demon Dao with a spell, and it was shackled from acting, and once the spell was revealed, it would immediately turn into a killing weapon.
"This Dao Ye said that if you exchange a life for a life, you will also keep your promise." Demon Dao pointed to the three girls hanging with a whisk, "Who will change the three first?" ”
Mu Yunmei saw Cailian's dying appearance, she couldn't hold her breath at first, and was about to step forward, but was pulled by Mu Yunsong, and the three brothers exchanged glances, and they already realized in their hearts.
"What? Don't want to change your sweetheart? The demon said mockingly, "It turns out that the so-called only one of her in this life, the so-called loyalty and unswerving sea are all nonsense to coax women!" ”
Mu Yunbai and Mu Yunmei were secretly embarrassed, knowing that the sweet words in the tent were overheard by this bastard Taoist. But he heard Mu Yunsong ask the demon: "The family members naturally want to be saved, but our brother must die to make it clear that we have no grievances with Your Excellency, and you must be just employed by others." If you are going to condemn our brother's life today, tell us who is the buyer who wants our brother's life? ”
Demon Dao looked up to the sky and said with a dry smile: "It is said that the King of Beijing is strategic, you might as well guess it yourself." Or have you had too many grievances over the years, and you have too many enemies to count? ”
Mu Yunsong snorted coldly: "Over the years, I have fought for the return of the Gurfolks, the Tartars, and the Pingwale, so that all the tribes in the northern part of the country have submitted to the Great Yan, and among them, there are naturally countless people who annoy me and hate me, and want to take my head. However, although the Saibei tribes are fierce but also open-minded, they want to kill me, and they will also kill me on the battlefield in a dignified manner, and they will not use such yin falcon methods as demon beasts and evil arts. ”
Mu Yunsong stared at the face of the demon Dao tightly, and deliberately slowed down the speed of his speech and said word by word: "The soul devouring beast is rare in the world, and it is natural that the price of being able to hire this demon beast is not low, and the identity of the mastermind behind hiring you is also unspeakably expensive." ”
Demon Dao's eyes trembled, and he suddenly smiled fiercely: "The prince is going to die, why bother with these useless thoughts!" ”
Although he didn't admit it, the slight change in his expression was fully seen by Mu Yunsong, and he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart: even if he agreed to the conditions to go to Goryeo, his emperor cousin still refused to let him go!
Mu Yunsong secretly clenched his fists: it is understandable that the emperor is jealous of his King of Beijing, but as the king of a country, he actually used such demonic means to harm his brothers and family, which is simply unbearable!
Taking advantage of the gap between the eldest brother and the demon Dao to attract the attention of the Taoist priest, Mu Yunbai and Mu Yunmei have quietly acted separately.
Mu Yunbai touched the back of the cave, looked up and saw that the iron chain above the head of the third girl was pulled by a zipline, and realized that there should be a mechanism set up in the cave in advance, so he touched all the way along the cave wall, and finally found a winch in a dark corner.
Mu Yunbai held the winch and tried to turn it, but sure enough, the chain was pulled and pulled the three girls who were hanging by a fraction. Mu Yunbai was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly continued to rotate the winch slowly, trying not to make a sound, so as not to arouse the vigilance of the demon dao.
Mu Yunsong, who was in charge of negotiating to attract the attention of the demon dao, saw that Mu Yunbai was slowly pulling the third girl away from the boiling pool water, and on the other side, the fifth was quietly approaching the soul devouring beast, all of them needed time, so he had to concentrate and continue to chat with the demon dao to attract attention: "My Guan Dao chief is also a worldly master, why bother with my royal struggle for power and profit? ”
"Dao Ye is not a worldly master, just a worldly person!" The demon Dao was a little impatient: I heard that this King of Beijing doesn't talk much, why is the deity so verbose? "Too lazy to talk nonsense with you! These three women, are you saving them or not?! ”
Seeing that he was about to turn his head to look at the third girl hanging behind him, Mu Yunsong immediately raised his voice, "Help!" Nature must be saved! But there is more than one way to save people, dare to ask your buyer how many benefits he promised the Taoist, this king doubled it for you, and the Taoist stopped after changing it, how about it? ”
"The prince is going to talk about the conditions." The demon said with a smile, "I'm afraid that if I buy what the owner promises me, the prince can't afford it!" ”
Seeing that the demon Dao was attracted to him again, Mu Yunsong breathed a sigh of relief and continued to ask along his topic: "What is it, you might as well tell me about it." ”
"A hundred hearts of boys and girls!" The demon said with a cruel smile, and his eyes actually released a strange excited look, "Now that you are dissecting and boiling, you can refine it into a rejuvenating soup, and drinking it can rejuvenate and live forever!" What do you think? Can the prince afford it? ”
Mu Yunsong was really shocked: Mu Yunze, as the king of a country, could agree to such inhumane conditions for the demon road! I don't know where he plans to find these innocent 100 boys and girls!
After a short period of anger, he quickly calmed himself down, "Although this king has been fighting on the battlefield for more than ten years, and his hands are stained with the blood of the enemy, he still has a human conscience in his heart, and he really can't do anything about killing a hundred boys and girls alive. ”
"Dao Chang's refining of the heart rejuvenation soup is nothing more than to increase cultivation, but as far as this king knows, there is more than one way to increase cultivation, and some rare heavenly and earthly treasures in the world have a better effect than the heart of a child." He stared at the change in the expression of the demon Dao, and said slowly, "For example, the thousand-year-old snow lotus on the Tianshan Mountain, the 10,000-year-old salamander in the Western Desert, and the thousand-year-old ice toad in the cold place of the Arctic. He smiled calmly, "It just so happens that this king has all three things." ”
When he was talking serious nonsense, he secretly thanked Su Qi in his heart, he had talked to him about these strange things when he had nothing to do, and he didn't want to talk about it next to the pillow, but it also came in handy.
After he said that, he saw that the eyes of the demon Dao flashed, and blurted out: "Really? ”
Mu Yunsong said: "Now that the lives of this king's brothers and family members are in your hands, why lie to you?" The Taoist chief also knows that it is natural for this king to subdue the Saibei tribes and seize some booty in the past ten years. ”
Seeing that he was so determined, the demon Dao believed a little more, and secretly calculated in his heart: the thousand-year-old snow lotus, the 10,000-year-old salamander, and the extremely cold ice toad, no matter which one of them are priceless treasures, refining into an elixir is not only immortal, but can simply live with heaven and earth!
Seeing the demon Dao's expression of joy, Mu Yunsong continued to lure: "As long as the Dao Chief stops and lets our brothers and family members go, this king is willing to offer all three treasures, how about it?" ”
The demon Dao subconsciously nodded, but suddenly thought: In the hands of this prince of Beijing, in addition to these three treasures, I am afraid there are many other good things, you might as well seize the opportunity to slander him more, so he shook his head and said: "Three things for the lives of six people, this business is not cost-effective!" ”
Mu Yunsong saw that Mu Yunbai had already put the three girls off the chain, worried about their life and death, and was a little distracted for a while, so he casually continued: "Then what do you want?" ”
Here, Mu Yunbai untied the chains on the hands of the three women, and was nervously checking the pulse of his nose one by one. Seeing that although the three of them were scorched by the heat wave, their breath and pulse were still there, they were slightly relieved, and raised their hands to make a "safe" gesture to Mu Yunsong and Mu Yunmei.
Mu Yunmei saw the gesture of the second brother, temporarily put aside her worries about picking lotus, and concentrated on dealing with the Soul Eater Beast.
He touched the back of the Soul Eater, pulled out the jade sword and held it in his hand, holding his breath and slowly approaching it.
Although Mu Yunmei cautiously did not make a sound, when she reached a distance of one zhang from the Soul Eater Beast, she saw that the demon beast suddenly turned its head, a pair of eerie eyes were facing it, and a low roar came out of its mouth.
Mu Yunmei then remembered that although this demon beast couldn't see, its sense of smell was extremely sensitive, and it had attacked him, so it was easy to detect his breath.
Mu Yunmei immediately paused, holding the jade sword in her hand and taking a defensive posture, but saw that although the demon beast let out a "woo" cry from its mouth, angrily scraping the rocks under its feet with its front paws, its body did not move, and only "stared" at him with a pair of terrifying eyes.
Mu Yunmei knew that its eye holes could absorb souls, so she hurriedly lowered her head to avoid its "gaze", secretly thinking that it must be the spell on its head that fixed it, so it couldn't move, it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
Mu Yunmei took a deep breath, bent her body like a bow, and suddenly rushed forward like an arrow, jumped up behind the soul devouring beast, and stabbed the jade sword in her hand towards the heavenly gate above the demon beast's head!
But what he didn't expect was that at the moment when the tip of the sword was about to pierce into the top door of the demon beast, its figure suddenly became illusory, and he slammed his sword down as if it were piercing into smoke.
Mu Yunmei was shocked, and hurriedly landed to stabilize her figure, but saw that the figure of the demon beast suddenly appeared again, let out an angry roar, opened her fangs and bit at him!
