Chapter 450: The Day of Sacrifice Has Arrived
Zong Xuanyu and Bo Yong waited.
At the same time, Zong Xuanyu arranged guards at several major city gates to strictly check the pedestrians, especially those with young children.
Bo Yong observes the environment around Jinghuo Lake, hoping to find out where the child is hidden.
After three days of searching, I saw that June 18 had arrived, but I couldn't find a place to hide the child.
At the city gate, no children were found to enter the capital.
On the morning of June 18, the people prepared fruit offerings and spontaneously went to worship the god of fire around the Mirror Fire Lake.
The imperial army's troops stood on the shore, maintaining order and guarding against rebellion by the concubines.
As the clock ticked by, the sun set in the west, and gradually, the last rays of the sunset disappeared into the sky, and the sky was completely dark.
The number of people worshipping the god of fire is decreasing.
In the end, the people all returned home, and only Zong Xuanyu, Bo Yong, and the army were left on the shore.
Under the firelight, even though it was dark, the world was still bright.
"Sir, seeing that it's almost midnight, the concubine hasn't appeared yet, and those children are nowhere to be seen, shouldn't they not appear?" Zong Xuanyu said in a low voice.
Bo Yong stared at the Mirror Fire Lake full of firelight, his eyes were heavy, "Keep waiting!" Since Yu Ji's people took Bai Si away, they will not easily give up tonight's sacrifice. ”
"Tell me to go down and be on guard!" Zong Xuanyu said in a deep voice.
“……”
The night is getting deeper, and midnight is coming.
On summer nights, there is a hint of coolness in the breeze.
And standing on the shore of the lake burning with a raging fire, the coolness in the breeze came late and went quickly, and the air seemed too hot.
Zong Xuanyu and Bo Yong waited quietly.
In the middle of the night, a strange skeleton emerged from the flames, only one-third of the skull was red, and down, the whole body was pitch black.
In the midst of the flames, the pitch-black skeleton seemed to be burned by the flames.
"Demon queen, you finally came out, this king thought you were going to hide for the rest of your life." Zong Xuanyu said coldly.
On the strange skull of Yu Ji, where the eyes were, the eyes glowing with a cold light stared at Zong Xuanyu, "If Bo Yong was the former Chu Yong, this palace might be jealous, but now Bo Yong is just a mortal, and the two of you together can't beat this palace."
Tonight, no one wants to stop Hongu.
If you are interested, get out of here, otherwise, don't blame this palace for sucking your spirit and turning you into a dried corpse! ”
"What a big breath!" Zong Xuanyu's face was cold, and his eyes were cold, "If you were so capable, you wouldn't have hidden your head and tail for so long!" ”
"Hahahaha!" Yu Ji laughed wildly, "Ignorant child! Since you don't know how to live or die, this palace will celebrate your birthday with your lives today! ”
Bo Yong frowned, June 18 is the birth of the demon queen? Why use baby girls to practice on your birthday and not on other days? Is there any explanation for this?
Bo Yong fell into deep thought, thinking of something, and his eyes became darker and darker.
June 18, to be exact, June 19, because it was already past midnight, it was the next day, this day was not the birthday of the demon queen, it should be her death day as a princess of the divine realm, and the day she died happened to be the day she was born as a demon.
It is the day when she gets a "new life".
June 18 is pushed forward by three months, and it is still spring.
In spring and March, heaven and earth are born, and all things are glorious.
In summer and March, heaven and earth are intertwined, and all things are gorgeous.
Children born between spring and summer are the most vigorous.
The death day of the demon queen is her birthday as a ghost, and this day of every year is a "new life" for her, and using the baby girl who is full of life force and belongs to the yin to cultivate, she will greatly increase her skills.
This kind of power increase is not temporary, but continuous.
The demon queen will refine the strong soul of the baby girl little by little, until her death day in the coming year.
Not only that, but the demon queen can also use the life force of the baby girl to maintain the human skin she borrowed, so that the skin can remain young and beautiful.
Even helping the monarch of Donghuang to maintain his young and handsome appearance is the so-called immortality.
Tonight, the demon queen dared to take the risk to come out to "sacrifice", firstly, because she couldn't give up this good day when her skills had greatly increased.
Second, she had fought with them before, and she had consumed a lot of energy and needed new supplies.
Thirdly, tonight is the day when her skills will be greatly increased, and she only needs to suck the essence of the baby girl to become stronger and stronger, so she is so bold that she is not afraid of them.
It also shows in disguise that those baby girls are now near Jinghuo Lake.
It is really not easy for the demon queen to be able to hide from him, evade Zong Xuanyu's pursuit, and bring the baby girl to the vicinity of Mirror Fire Lake.
I don't know what the situation is in Bai Si.
Bo Yong was afraid that the innocent baby would die at the hands of Fei Ji, although he was prepared, he couldn't help but worry, his expression was quite serious, "If you want to celebrate our birthday, it depends on whether you have the ability!" ”
"Hahaha! Whether Hongu has that ability or not, you'll find out later! She laughed wildly, her arms outstretched, her black skeleton swaying in the flames, and the upper and lower jaws of the skull were closed one by one.
For a while, the surrounding yin qi was bursting.
"Not good!" Bo Yong's expression was solemn, "She activated the summoning technique!" The baby girl only needs to be within a hundred miles of her, and she can summon the soul of the baby girl from here! ”
I don't know if Bai Si can handle it.
Although Bai Si is a fox demon, he doesn't seem to be very proficient in spells, and I'm afraid he doesn't even know what kind of magic the demon queen is using.
"What then?" Zong Xuanyu was in a hurry, they were just mortals, they were not proficient in witchcraft at all, and they didn't know how to deal with it at all.
"Kill her first!" Bo Yong drew his sword, jumped into the air, got off the Mirror Fire Lake, and soon arrived at the center of the sea of fire, and attacked Yu Ji with his sword.
The raging fire burned him, and although he used his strength to resist, he was inevitably burned, and he only felt the burning heat around him, which made him extremely uncomfortable.
He could only try to ignore the pain and fight with him.
Seeing this, Zong Xuanyu also drew his sword and jumped off the Mirror Fire Lake, and the moment the flames hit his face, in addition to the pain, it was still painful.
Bo Yong and Zong Xuanyu were both in pain, because they were disturbed by the flames, and their skills were only half of their strength.
On the other hand, the concubine is like a fish in water.
"Draining the water is the stupidest thing you've ever done! Jumping down to deal with Hongu is even more stupid! Yu Ji sneered, not busy summoning the soul cultivation of the baby girl, and decided to solve Zong Xuanyu and Bo Yong first.
Zong Xuanyu and Bo Yong are very passive.
At this moment, suddenly a coldness lingered around their bodies, and that coldness was mixed with a strong and pure power, which not only made them feel very comfortable, but also deepened their strength.
Bo Yong knew that Bai Jiushu was nearby, and he knew the bottom of his heart.
Zong Xuanyu didn't know what was going on, and he didn't think much about it, the flames were no longer an obstacle for him, and he began to attack Yu Ji without sparing any effort.
