Chapter 34: The Demon Horse Forest
"Listen!" Ouyang Hongye reminded.
Mochizuki responded, "Looks like someone else has broken in!" ”
"Let's take a look!" Wind and fire also heard a familiar voice.
They relied on the charge of the black lion and the eagle beast and rushed forward together, and saw the figure of three teenagers fighting fiercely in the siege of a group of mourning ghosts.
Ouyang Hongye couldn't help but call out their names: "Xiao Leng, Xia Qiu, Thousand Rides!" ”
"It's them, yes!" Mochizuki was also excited.
"Xiao Nan, go and help them!"
Hearing Ouyang Hongye's order, the Black Lion Eagle Beast rushed forward, as if it had a telepathy with him, it rushed away from the mourning ghosts besieging several teenagers, and then beat them apart in a few clicks.
Although there were a lot of things he wanted to ask Ouyang Xiaoleng and them, it was really not the right time for now, more and more mourning ghosts were gathering in their direction, and he had to shout to everyone, "Rush out of Nanzhejiang City first!" ”
Everyone understood and relied on each other to kill directly under the gate of Nanzhejiang City, Ouyang Hongye and the Black Lion Eagle Beast Xiao Nan covered everyone one by one and went over the city wall, and finally it was their turn to leave.
"Fly out with me!"
He said to Xiao Nan, but the black lion eagle beast obviously didn't quite understand the use of the pair of wings behind it, and after trying a few times, it couldn't jump too far from the ground. Helplessly, he came up with a way, took it to run for a while, and then used this power to soar into the air. They fended off the surging mourning ghosts and retreated a long distance behind the walls.
"Run!"
He yelled at Xiao Nan and rushed forward with it.
Seeing the situation, Xiao Nan also followed, and when he was not too far from the city wall, he jumped into the air, and it also jumped upward. When the power of the air gradually disappeared, it looked at him who was still flying upward, and in a hurry, it stirred its wings hard, and the cyclone brought a huge thrust to bring it up. It flicked its wings a few more times to stabilize its huge body as it ascended, and for the first time it spread its wings and soared through the vast air, and this feeling of freedom and comfort suddenly excited it, and it kept chirping and circling up and down in the high sky.
After Ouyang Hongye landed, he looked up at Xiao Nan, who was flying in the air, and had an idea in his heart: it belongs to the sky, and it should not be trapped by his side to be his big cat, it is rare to have a black lion eagle beast born in the dark, not like a demon but as simple and cute as Xiao Nan.
He summoned its name into the air: "Xiao Nan! ”
Hearing his call, the black lion eagle beast immediately descended slowly in the direction of the ground, although the first landing was still a little unsmooth, but after it landed, it still shook its feathers proudly in front of him, as if showing off his flying skills.
He patted it on the head and said to it, "Xiao Nan, you can fly where you want to go." ”
The black lion griffin blinked suspiciously, tears welling up in its two-colored pupils, and it clearly didn't understand why its owner wanted it to leave.
"That's right, you are free, you should live freely, fly in the air, go, go!" He repeated, and waved his hand at it.
It understood what he meant, but it was still attached to him, and after hesitating it took a few steps back, then a step back, and so on and so forth...... At last it leapt to its feet, went straight into the sky, circled for a while, and then disappeared in the eyes of the crowd.
Mochizuki looked at the direction in which the black lion eagle beast flew away and sighed: "This little guy is quite affectionate!" ”
Fang Cai only cared about sending away the black lion eagle beast, this time Ouyang Hongye shifted his attention to a few teenagers, although it was only a few days apart, but their faces were a little less childish, and seeing that they were all fine, he also put his mind at ease.
He asked Ouyang Xiaoleng: "Have you got the earth talisman?" ”
Ouyang Xiaoleng nodded and agreed: "Yes, it has been handed over to Lord Yong." ”
"Great, well done!" Ouyang Hongye stepped forward and patted him and said.
If it had been before, Ouyang Xiaoleng would have been very mindful of moving his body out of reach of his arm, but at this time, he stood there very calmly and did not resist.
Xia Qiu saw it in his eyes, and he was secretly happy, because he no longer rejected the ties with anyone as before. Even with Qianqi, although they still don't talk much, they will compete with each other and support each other, which is not much different from those boys of the same age in their own school.
Ouyang Hongye was very pleased with this change in him, he was the orphan of his friends Ouyang Xueye and Ran Susu, and it was also their greatest trust to him before they died, for the sake of this child, he ignored the division of opinions of various factions in Wangcheng Yongchuan, insisted on protecting him by his side, taking care of and teaching him to grow up. For a person like him who used to be cynical, it was simply unimaginable before, and it was also in this process that he grew from a big boy who didn't want to grow up to a man who took responsibility, he became calm and resolute, calm, and even sleek and sophisticated, not for anything else, just to protect the child to grow up safely, and now, how to assist him to become a generation of kings has become his new task.
"Dong Muya told us that the clue of the Heavenly Fu is likely to be recorded in the Nanzhejiang Palace, have you found it?" Ouyang Xiaoleng asked.
"Well, we found a relevant record on the mural in the private garden of the lord of Nanzhejiang City, if that record is correct, the heavenly rune should be hidden on Changsheng Island in Xianhequan Township." Ouyang Hongye replied.
"Crane Spring Township? You once told me that it was the closest place to the Divine Realm and the Demon Realm, and that all the demonic power would be purified there. ”
Before Ouyang Xiaoleng's words fell, Qianqi excitedly said to Xia Qiu: "It is said that the ruler there is an extremely beautiful fairy called the Feather Crane Immortal, and I have seen his portrait in Dongyao. ”
Xia Qiu still didn't know much about the things in the demon world, and she didn't know how to respond to Qianqi, but just hearing the name of the Feather Crane Immortal made her feel that it must be an extremely beautiful and gentle woman.
Several teenagers returned to the Demon Realm King City before rushing to Nanzhejiang to find Ouyang Hongye and the others, and handed over the talisman to Ouyang Yong. Because of the agreement with the Flame Luo Demon King, they did not tell Ouyang Yong and Elder Cheng the details of the land talisman in great detail, but the main reason was that the state of the two elders at the moment could not take care of so many things.
If you want to activate the earth talisman, you must use the power of the Silver Fox Divine Monarch in Ouyang Xiaoleng's body.
According to Ouyang Yong's instructions, for the first time in the Tianquan Palace, he completely liberated the divine power in his body, revealing the body of the demon king fox, his body became taller than before, fox ears were born on the top of his head, and his hair bun also turned silver-white.
Ouyang Yong and Lion King Cheng simultaneously loosened the two divine pillars of the Green Dragon and the White Tiger, which were held by the chains formed by their respective demonic powers, and Ouyang Xiaoleng immediately scattered the earth talisman to the ground around the two divine pillars, and as the golden powder scattered, the shaking of the two divine pillars also subsided.
In order to facilitate the long journey in the demon world, Xia Qiu must have her own demon horse, and the process of finding the demon horse must be completed by her alone. Ouyang Yong sent Thorn to lead her to the stone demon Yanming, who, in addition to being a prophetic messenger, was also in charge of the maze path leading to the Demon Horse Forest in the royal city.
The Demon Horse Forest is located on the northernmost border of the Demon Realm, the territory of the Demon Horse Clan, the Demon Horse is also known as the Night Elf, although the appearance is not much different from the horses of the human world, but it has unparalleled spirituality and speed, infinite life and inexhaustible endurance. They choose their user entirely of their own volition, and once chosen, they use the user's lifespan as a term until the user dies and is loyal to him alone, then disappears into the Demon Horse Forest again until the next user appears.
The entrance to the Maze Path to the Demon Horse Forest was in a stone cave on the mountain behind the Chenji Palace, and when she was led to the entrance of the cave by the stone demon Yanming, she suddenly remembered that when she first entered the Chenji Palace, she seemed to have passed through this place.
The stone demon Yanming stopped, handed her a red rope and said: "The road ahead needs you to walk alone, you can enter the demon horse forest straight ahead, take this rope and tie it to the tree that is directly opposite you when you enter the forest, and that is your way back!" ”
Still confused, she asked, "What do I need to do?" ”
"You don't need to do anything, if there is a demon horse that belongs to you, it will take the initiative to choose you and teach you the secret words to summon it, and when you need it, just recite this secret word and it will appear in front of you. Remember, if you don't have a demon horse for a long time, go back the way you came, and don't take the initiative to contact them, they are very defensive, and it is dangerous to provoke them. ”
She nodded, and walked forward with the rope given by Yan Ming tightly, the light in the cave was meager and it only brightened a little after walking about fifty paces, and after walking about a hundred paces, she was already in a dense forest without realizing it. She was stunned for a few seconds, then remembered Yanming's instructions, and turned around to tie the rope in her hand to the trunk behind her.
Although it is daytime in the Demon Horse Forest, the light is blocked by the towering trees, casting only speckled light and shadow on the ground. There was a murmuring sound of flowing water in the distance, and she walked straight forward, and a river appeared in front of her, and on the other side of the river, a group of demon horses were drinking the river, and she was standing on this side of the bank with disapproval.
The horses looked no different from the horses they had seen before, but they felt completely different, some of them wore saddles, and the color and style of the saddles seemed to indicate their different status. She looked at them carefully for a while, and found that they still didn't mean to come close to her, and she couldn't help but be a little disappointed. Yan Ming's concept of not staying too long is a little too vague, she is unwilling to linger on the riverside, if she doesn't have her own demon horse, it will be difficult for her to gallop freely in the demon world, and she will not be able to walk with Ouyang Xiaoleng.
Her feet involuntarily stepped into the river in front of her, and moved in the direction of the demon horses, which was not deep but cold. The herd of demon horses on the other side became alert the moment she stepped into the river, and the horses' hooves kept stomping warning on the ground, and the rhythm of their stomping became more and more rapid as she got closer, and at last at the same time they were running in her direction as if enraged.
The moment a horde of demon horses galloped towards her, she realized that she had made a fatal mistake, and the air was frozen with fear, when a clearer sound of horses' hooves cut through the silence, and a pure white demon horse suddenly appeared to block between her and the demon horses.
It faced them fearlessly, and even Xia Qiu felt the distinctive aura emanating from its body, and the king-like momentum quickly suppressed the anger of the other demon horses, causing them to retreat to the other side of the river.
The white demon horse turned and walked towards her, its posture was so graceful and elegant, its silver mane shimmered like moonlight in the wind, and its emerald green eyes were so clear and bright, it came straight to her and stopped, and actually spoke.
"I've been waiting for you here for a long time."
The white horse shook his head first, then slowly lowered his head and gasped, its voice deep and low.
"Me?" Xia Qiu didn't know how to respond to such a talking horse for a while.
The white demon horse replied affirmatively, "Exactly, I didn't expect my second contractor to still be a human. ”
