Chapter 288: Leaving Alone
Chapter 288: Leaving Alone
At this time, several people at the scene were a little hesitant, and finally looked at Li Heng and the little beast together, they were the key to the incident, and everything depended on their decision.
The little beast glared at Li Heng's shoulder with big eyes, glaring angrily at the devil in the mist. The little tree is a sacred tree that grows with it, and it is also its ration, and it is the only small tree that has accompanied it after being abandoned by its parents. Don't look at the weekdays I don't care, but if someone really comes to rob it, the little beast won't agree to anything.
"Little one, I'm just borrowing, and I will definitely return it to you in the future, and I will definitely repay you heavily. The devil showed a gentle look, and showed a pale smile at the little beast, which made several people at the scene a little surprised, the devil seemed to attach more importance to the golden beast than the purple dragon king.
Li Heng looked at a few people next to him, and after a short look, he knew the intentions of several people, even the Dugu Sword Demon with the strongest fighting spirit also wanted to compromise. The devil is so unfathomable that he can't compete with it, and although I don't know if what he says is true or not, it's still a hope.
Knowing the thoughts of several people, Li Heng was silent for a while, and then hugged the little beast tightly to prevent it from rushing over again. He said to the devil: "Since your goal is the sacred tree, then come to me, it has nothing to do with other people, let's go to other places to talk, whether it is successful or not, please don't hurt others anymore, this is the minimum criterion to show your sincerity." ”
The devil's pale face poured out a trace of blood, and he nodded lightly: "My goal is just a sacred tree, and if others don't stop me or attack me, they will never harm anyone again." ”
An impending terrifying storm unexpectedly eased like this, Li Heng did not look back and strode towards the outside of the village, the Purple Dragon King roared and chased after him, it didn't want the holy tree to fall into the hands of others.
The woman in the colorful mist hurriedly chased after her, appeased the Purple Dragon King, and wasted a lot of effort to persuade him to retreat, in fact, although the Dragon King was young, he had already been psychic, and he knew that his strength was not enough to recapture the Dragon Clan's sacred tree.
"I hope you can be safe and sound, I really want to make friends with you, my name is Niu Ren. The little fat man whispered to Li Heng.
Niu Rendi's name was a little laughable, but Li Heng couldn't laugh at it, he nodded lightly and said, "We will be friends next time we meet, my name is Li Heng." ”
The woman who was shrouded in colorful mist also came over, she wanted the Purple Dragon King to accompany Li Heng and protect his safety.
"Good intentions, this little guy is not inferior to the dragon king, if it can't restrain the evil spirits, even if there is one more dragon king by his side, it will not help. Li Heng felt that the mysterious woman was indeed kind-hearted, persuaded her, and then walked towards the mountains and forests alone, and the devil had already surged with a wave of yin qi and disappeared in advance.
The golden beast was very intelligent, it clearly knew what was born, and some unwilling to pick the treasure tree from its head, hugged it tightly in its arms for a long time, and then handed it to Li Heng very reluctantly and unwillingly, looking pitiful.
Li Heng smiled and said, "This is the holy tree that the little beast has been with since it was born, how can it be given to others? ”
The little beast didn't want to be called a little fierce beast, so he grabbed a lock of his long hair and pulled it lightly in annoyance, and then handed the treasure tree to Li Heng.
"Don't worry, there is no need for the little murderer* to come out of the sacred tree, he must have some scruples, otherwise how could a devil consult with us with good words, instead of forcibly seizing it. ”
"Ahh......h
Li Heng was amused by the emotions it showed all of a sudden, and said with a smile: "I see you sleeping all day long, and those dragon kings are fighting every day, they are trying every way to improve their strength, you are not worse than them, you have to work hard, if you want to be able to fight the devil, you can't be so lazy from now on." ”
The golden beast grabbed Li Heng's long hair in annoyance and pulled it gently, and then, to Li Heng's surprise, he nodded solemnly, put the treasure tree hat on his head, jumped from between Li Heng's arms to his shoulders, and solemnly began to meditate and breathe.
That's right, it's meditation and pranayama! This made Li Heng's mouth open wide in surprise, this little beast actually sat cross-legged like a cultivator, closed a pair of bright big eyes, and its long eyelashes no longer blinked, and the whole body bloomed with a faint glow, as if it had fallen into an ethereal realm.
This can no longer be used to describe Li Heng's mood at the moment, there are too many surprises brought to him by the little beast, how can a little beast behave like this?
It's just that after walking out for a few miles in the dense forest, Li Heng was completely speechless again, because he heard a slight snoring, and the little beast actually fell asleep sitting cross-legged on his shoulder.
Speechless...... Completely speechless. It's hard to change your nature, it's hard to change your nature, this little guy really makes Xiao Chen don't know what to say. Li Heng wanted to grab one of its fluffy ears and wake it up, but in the end he held back, who let this poor little beast not long after it was born, it was too young, and it was normal to behave like this.
The devil seemed to have completely disappeared and never appeared, but Li Heng knew that it must be nearby. The sun was setting, the sunset dyed half of the sky red, Li Heng walked aimlessly in the mountains and forests, hearing the roar of the fierce beasts in the distance, his heart gradually calmed down, there were devils around him, and now he couldn't go back to Liu Xiankai and Monk Yixiu.
After Li Heng left, the old woman, the little fat man, the Dugu Sword Demon and others immediately took action, the devil's words could not be taken seriously, they still had to contact other masters, and at the same time mobilize everyone to deal with the devil.
On this night, many cultivators learned the news that made them afraid, and they thought that they would be safe if they escaped from the dead city, but they didn't expect that there was a devil who escaped from the dead city outside. Even those who have not entered the dead city are still very afraid of the appearance of the devil, and they are forced to flee from this place.
It was an unquiet night, and everyone who got the news had trouble sleeping, and everyone rushed to converge.
At midnight, the bonfire was beating, Li Heng was sitting in front of the flames and cultivating quietly, while the golden beast was still maintaining a cross-legged posture, sitting on Li Heng's shoulder with a treasure tree hat on his head, snoring sweetly, looking cute and funny.
It's just that Li Hengjue doesn't seem to be simply asleep, because his current glow is like a water wave, which is always fluctuating around it. And the little tree on its head has already turned from dim to a glimmer of brilliance, and there seems to be a wonderful connection between the two.
Could it really know a strange cultivation method? Li Heng secretly guessed, he had also heard that rare races such as the dragon clan had already been passed down the cultivation method of their own clan when they were born, and the little beast should belong to such a race.
The wind was blowing, and the temperature in the forest dropped sharply, as if the cold wind of winter was blowing, and there was a biting chill, and the bonfire jumped violently, and instantly turned a miserable green, eerie and terrifying.
Silently, the evil ghost sat on the opposite side of the bonfire, only a fire away from Li Heng.
"A thousand years ago, when I saw this sacred tree, it was only one black jade leaf, but a thousand years later it already has three divine leaves. The devil's pale face turned even paler against the beating flames, and no one would believe him if he was not a ghost.
There is no doubt that his words aroused Li Heng's interest, at this moment he has no fear at all, he will come sooner or later, and he can't hide. He asked, "What you saw in the Tree of Babel?"
"Yes, what appears on the section of the Divine Tree, the small tree is an alternative regeneration of the Broken Wood Land, however, it is no longer the original Divine Tree, because it has six more brilliances than the Tongtian Divine Tree. The devil's response confirmed Li Heng's original guess.
The ghost whispered in a low voice, and after saying these words, the devil showed a deep thought, and said almost confusedly: "I actually know so many ......"
His performance made Li Heng feel very surprised, and at this time, the little beast also woke up, and saw the devil sitting opposite, the little beast almost jumped up and rushed over, Li Heng hurriedly stopped it, and asked the devil tentatively: "You seem to have forgotten a lot of things......"
The devil recovered from his momentary confusion, nodded and shook his head, and shook his head in bursts of yin energy. "My mind is blank about the endless years, and I only remember that I escaped from the dead city. ”
Li Heng was a little regretful that he couldn't know the secret of the dead city from his mouth.
The mist in the mountains and forests blends with the cold aura of the devil, making this area a forest. After a long silence, the devil broke the dead silence and said, "I think you are a smart man, and you know that I don't want to force my move, but that doesn't mean that I really don't dare to make a move, I hope to be able to borrow the sacred tree from you, and I will definitely pay it back in a year at most, and there will be a good reward." ”
"What are you worried about?" Li Heng never figured it out.
"Although my mind is blank for the long past, I still know who I can mess with and who I can't mess with. The devil said very directly: "I don't dare to make a feud with the dragon clan, so I don't want to kill the little dragon king, and in the same way, I have even more scruples about this one, and I don't want to provoke its parents or the existence behind it." ”
The little beast's big eyes immediately shone with hope, as if it was no longer tired of demons, and its long eyelashes twitched, and it listened carefully, as if it wanted to know where its parents were.
Li Heng understood the little beast's mood and said to the devil, "Do you know where it came from?"
"I don't know, but I'm sure it's extraordinary, a thousand years ago, when I saw the sacred tree spit out a black jade leaf, a colorful jade shell egg also appeared, right next to the little sacred tree, they were sealed together by a mysterious power, I think that's it. When the devil said these words, he looked deeply at the little beast.
