Chapter 143: The One-Eyed Giant
The footprints in the mountain forest gradually became blurred, and finally disappeared into the moonlight, this is already the depths of the mountain forest, except for the beast demon in the mountain, few other monsters have set foot, but all the way to here, I saw the broken trees and the blood that has dried up all the way, presumably the giant was not lightly injured and did not know if he was still alive if he insisted on coming here.
I looked around and didn't see the remains of the giant, but there was no trace of the silver moon found blood stains on the broken trees, although the blood stains were difficult to detect under the moonlight, but the silver moon can always keenly find the traces, we have been burying our heads and suddenly found that the moonlight suddenly became dim, I looked up and saw a boulder smashed down from the top of our heads, I hurriedly pushed the silver moon away, fortunately dodged in time, otherwise now I am afraid that it will become the flesh under the boulder.
I just wanted to call Yinyue to see if she was okay, when I looked up, I found a behemoth giant holding a giant axe looking at us resentfully, the giant only had one eye on his face, presumably it was a demon clan, it seemed that there was really a surviving one-eyed giant, but I soon found that this giant's eyes were full of hatred and killing, presumably treating us as people who were attacking the city and slaughtering other races, and the heavy giant axe slashed down like Mount Tai pressed down.
Yinyue flashed and revealed the true body of the nine-tailed demon fox, Yinyue didn't want to fight with the giant, presumably it must be to reveal the true body, and the giant should stop, who knew that the giant saw Yinyue's true body but became even more violent, the giant axe waved at Yinyue in a disorderly manner, Yinyue could only avoid danger everywhere, the trees in the mountains and forests were cut down one after another, and several times Yinyue wanted to explain that he didn't even have time to speak.
If this continues, I am worried that Silver Moon will not make a move, and I am afraid that sooner or later I will be injured in the hands of the giant, and I sacrificed the Dark Flame from my hand, and the moment the dark blue flame rose, it also attracted the attention of the giant, and he turned around and slashed at me with a giant axe.
"Stop!" The sound of a bell came from the woods, and I felt the ground tremble under my feet, and the axe of the giant came to a stop above me, and I saw several more giants coming out of the forest, led by the giants who kept staring at the flame in my hand, and then looked at me for a long time.
"You're harnessing the Stygian Flame?" The giant asked me.
Silver Moon was preoccupied with guarding me, and I looked down at the flame in my hand and looked at Silver Moon for a moment, then nodded slowly.
"This dark flame is the fire of the netherworld, and the demon clan in the demon world can't control it." The one-eyed giant looked at me again for a long time. "You're not from the Demon Realm?"
I nodded again.
"How can people from the underworld appear in the demon world?" I heard the giants talk in amazement, and then the eyes of the giants standing in the most meeting fell on Silver Moon. "The Nine-Tailed Demon Fox is one of the Twelve Ancestral Demons, why did he suddenly appear here when he was not in Qingqiu Country? Still with people from the underworld? ”
"We have something to come to the country of one eye to verify, and found that the country of the one eye demon clan is ruined, and I saw the corpses of the one eye giants piled up like mountains in the canyon, and the one eye clan is respected in the demon world, and I can't bear to see its violent corpses in the wilderness, so I burned them with demon power, although I can't go into the ground for peace, but it's finally an explanation." Silver Moon replied calmly as she returned to her human form.
"It turns out that the fire in the canyon was done by the ancestral demon, and the Great Grace Yimu clan remembered it in their hearts, and they hoped that the ancestral demon would forgive me for many offenses before." The giants bowed their heads and said gratefully.
"The Ichimoku Kingdom has never had any dealings with other demon clans, why did it suddenly invite such a catastrophe, who attacked the Ichimoku Country?" Yinyue asked eagerly.
"It's not convenient to talk here, so you two will follow me."
Standing at the front, the Ichimoku Giant arranged to leave two giants on guard, and then turned around and led us to the depths of the forest, opened a heavy lawn, and a huge pit appeared in front of us, presumably these Ichimoku Demon Clans who escaped the catastrophe were hiding here, and when we walked in, the entrance to the cave was immediately closed, the cave was huge but brightly lit, and there was a dying giant lying in the spacious stone cave inside, looking older than the other giants.
"Elder, the ancestral demon and the people of the underworld don't know about the destruction of the country, and they came from afar to visit something, and when they passed through the canyon and saw that the corpses of the clansmen couldn't bear it, they burned it with fire, so I brought two of them here." The giant said respectfully to the dying giant.
It turned out that this giant who couldn't afford to be injured was an elder of the Ichimoku Kingdom, and his status must not be low, so after hearing this, he forcibly supported his huge body and sat up.
"The ancestral demon is unforgettable for the kindness of the Ichimu clan, and now the country is ruined and the family is difficult to repay, what is the matter of the ancestral demon to the Ichimu country, as long as the Ichimu clan is able to go to the soup and the fire." Although the elder was seriously injured and could not get up, he also sat with his waist straight, and sure enough, he was a proud race, and he would never let anyone look down on or despise him.
"Behind the high walls of the Ichimoku National City, there have always been no festivals with other demon clans, why did so many Ichimoku demon clans die tragically in the canyon when they encountered disasters?" Yinyue asked.
Elder Ichimu sighed and said sadly: "Since the Demon Emperor left the Demon Realm, the Ichimu Demon Clan has been guarding himself and never leaving his area for half a step, but seven days ago, the Lord of Youdu led a large army to suddenly attack Ichimu Country. ”
"The Lord of the Hidden Capital?" I was surprised and asked what was the origin of the lord of the secluded capital beside me, Yinyue.
Yinyue told me that there is a mountain called Youdu Mountain in the North Sea of the Demon Realm, and the black water flows out from there, and there are black birds, black snakes, black leopards, black tigers, and black unkempt foxes on it.
Although this Tubo is not the Twelve Ancestral Demons, the demon law is definitely not to be underestimated, and Tubo's appearance is very terrifying, with nine ropes in his hands, sharp horns on his head, bloody hands on his back, extremely agile movements, three eyes, and a tiger's head and body like a cow.
"Although the Youdu Kingdom is not far from here, and the Tubo Demon is powerful, it should not be so easy for those Black Water Spirit Demons under the control of Tubo to break through the Ichimu Country." Yinyue asked the elder with a solemn and puzzled expression. "I've seen the ruins of the Ichimoku Country, how could it be impossible for Tubo's Black Water Spirit Demon to attack the Ichimoku Country like that?"
"If there is only Tubo and the Black Water army under his command, of course my Ichimu Demon Clan will not be defeated to such a point, don't say that I will slaughter my people, I'm afraid that even the high-walled Tubo of Yimu Country will not be able to attack it." The elder replied with a grim face.
"Then why did the country end up ruined?" Yinyue asked in surprise.
The elder looked at the surviving Ichimu giant in the cave and told us in a low voice that on the day when the Tubo army pressed the border, Tubo sent a spirit demon to send a letter under the city, saying that if the Ichimu clan was willing to surrender, Mingjin would withdraw the troops, but how could the Ichimu demon clan send people to snort under the fence, and the lord of the Ichimu country categorically refused, and no one believed that Tubo and the Heishui army under his command could capture the next Muguo.
Tubo really doesn't have this ability, but there is a person next to Tubo who is not a black water spirit demon, wearing a cloak and making a move, a huge wall of fire fell from the sky, and the entire Ichimoku country was shattered in an instant, and the city wall was shattered, although the Ichimu demon clan was huge, it couldn't resist the powerful fireball, so he had no choice but to abandon the city-state and retreat in the direction of the canyon, but who knew that Tubo's black water army in the canyon had already been ambushed there, and the Yimu Demon Clan in the canyon became a target, and many Yimu giants died in the canyon under the fire of ten thousand arrows.
The one-eyed giants who did not die in the war were all captured and their whereabouts are unknown, and the director who escaped fled into the mountains and forests, the caves here were originally left by the one-eyed people when they collected mineral smelting utensils, these minerals are extremely precious and usually covered and locked after collection, so it is extremely difficult to be discovered, and the one-eyed giants who hid in the cave escaped by luck.
"The man in the cloak...... "Silver Moon and I looked at each other and took a deep breath." Why did the Demon Emperor's minions capture the Ichimoku Demon Clan? ”
"It seems that the ancestral demon also noticed that it was the Demon Emperor's person who attacked the Ichimu Country, and as soon as that person's mana was struck, I knew that it was not demon power, and the only one who could have such a powerful power was the Demon Emperor except for the Hades Emperor."
"The elder also recognized that it was the Demon Emperor's divine power, before the Demon Emperor's people instigated the army to attack my Qingqiu Country, presumably that Tubo and the Demon Emperor have become the same as the Demon Emperor's minions, but this demon world has always been afraid of the Demon Emperor and dare not touch his fingers, that god and demon catastrophe I saw with my own eyes that the Demon Emperor was sealed under the underworld, how did the people of the Demon Emperor come to the Demon Realm, I don't know the purpose of coming here, the elder knows." Yinyue asked with a stern expression.
The giant who had brought us in before whispered a few words next to the elder, and the elder immediately looked at me in surprise and asked in shock after a long time.
"I just heard from my people that you can harness the Flame of the Underworld?"
I nodded affirmatively.
"Can you show me?" The elder seemed a little unconvinced, and asked tentatively.
The dark flame had already been used by me with ease, and I didn't even think about raising my hand, and in an instant, a dark blue flame rose in my palm, and the elder looked at me in shock after just one glance, trembling and supporting his badly injured body and kneeling heavily in front of me.
"If it is really the Dark Flame, the only one who can control the Dark Flame in the Five Realms is the Immortal Emperor, one of the five ancient god emperors, and I don't know that the Immortal Emperor is not far away when he is in the country."
Silver Moon looked at the one-eyed giant who knelt down on one knee with the elder in front of her in surprise, and whispered in my ear.
"Don't be stunned to say a word, this demon clan has always been arrogant, except for the demon emperor, they don't submit to any race."
"Don't be like this, even if I am the Emperor of the Underworld, I only dominate the underworld, and the one-eyed demon clan is a demon of the demon world, how can I bow down to me." I hurriedly said sincerely.
The elder then led the other giants to their feet, then glanced at the giants behind them, and the giants who turned to leave quickly brought out a huge golden vessel, which contained a cloud of dark blue flames that were swirling, exactly the same as the dark flames in my hand.
"After the catastrophe of gods and demons, the Emperor of Hades left the Dark Flame for my Ichimu Demon Clan, this Dark Flame can melt everything, and my Ichimu Clan can cast all kinds of artifacts with the help of the Dark Flame, and the Immortal Emperor gave the grace of the Fire Clan, how dare the Ichimu Clan dare to say that they are forgetful." After the elder said respectfully, he looked at Yinyue. "The reason why the ancestral demon just asked the Demon Emperor to capture my clan is that he wants my clan to use this dark flame to reforge the Kyushu Ding!"
