"It's so nice, my name is ......" the cat demon girl recalled the name of Ran Mingzhu.

"Xiaohua, I heard the innkeeper call you that before!" Ran Mingzhu took the lead and said.

She and Yu Xiaohua's hands were tightly clasped together, as if they were good friends who had known each other for a long time, and because of their siblings by their side, her heart didn't seem to sting as much as it had just now.

That night, the cat demon girl told her that she was taken away from her parents by human traffickers in Miancheng, and when the human traffickers almost sold her to a monster, she was rescued by two teenagers found by her brother. Although it was just a meeting in Pingshui, it gave them so much help to their family.

So, the two secretly ran out of the house, in order to find the two teenagers, they first went to Dongyao, and after asking where the people were, it was determined that one of the teenagers was likely to be Dongyao's young master Qianqi. But Qianqi was not in Dongyao, but came to Wangcheng to assist the demon king fox, and their sister and brother came to Yongchuan.

"Obviously, my sister was talking about the brother named Qianqi day and night, so I agreed to accompany her out, and if this continues, I'm afraid she will go crazy." The cat demon boy said with a wicked smile.

"Since he assisted the Demon King Fox, I might be able to help you find him!" Ran Mingzhu said after listening to the cat demon girl's story.

"Really?!" The cat demon girl blinked her big eyes excitedly.

"I'll definitely help you when I'm done with my own affairs!" Ran Mingzhu replied with certainty, and then suddenly asked with some curiosity, "Why don't you go to Chenji Palace and look for him directly?" ”

"We've been...... But the guards were so tightly guarded that they wouldn't even let us in, and they wouldn't even speak for us. Maybe it's because we are dressed too shabby, and we don't look like we know such big people. The cat demon girl showed a sad expression.

"Hmph, there are such snobs everywhere! It's hard to find someone as good as those two big brothers! The cat demon boy said angrily.

"Anyway, since I promised, I will definitely help you! Rest assured! Ran Mingzhu turned to him and said.

"Drink the rest of the milk tea, and then go back to sleep well, if you don't drink it, it will be cold! The tea we brought from our hometown not only does not make you feel refreshed, but also has a sleep-invigorating and refreshing effect. The cat demon girl smiled gratefully at Mingzhu, and in the orange light, her face was so quiet.

"Good!"

After drinking the milk tea, Ran Mingzhu returned to her room, and after locking the door, she was finally able to take off the heavy cloak on her body and fall headlong on the bed. Sure enough, as the cat demon girl said, as soon as it was touched by the pillow, she fell asleep deeply.

She had a dream, which at first was vague, but gradually it became clear, as if it were really happening. In the dream, the man in black who met him in a narrow passage in the secret passage, he fled from the secret passage in a hurry, the moonlight gilded his black cloak with a layer of gray silver, and his face was only outlined, and it was obvious that he was wearing a mask.

The mask is very strange, it is a clown mask that is not common in the demon world, the clown's eyeliner is very heavy, the eyelids look very funny downward, and the two lines of black tears go down the slightly bulging cheeks and reach the big red mouth that cracks to the ears.

The clown hesitated for a moment outside the secret passage, as if thinking about something, but when the sound of Ran Mingzhu turning the mechanism at the exit was heard from the secret passage, he still jumped up, flew into the night, and disappeared.

In the dream, Ran Mingzhu still wanted to chase him, but she also knew that it was just a dream after all, and her movements were limited because of this, and she could not reach places she had never been, and the whole dream ended at this moment.

She came to her senses, with shallow regret in her heart, but more of an expectation. I didn't expect to be able to make a difference when I went out to find my father for the first time. This seems to show that the connection between her and her father is not so easy to be severed, and it is already destined that their father and daughter will definitely see each other again.

And the clown who was chased by Ran Mingzhu, after making sure that she was no longer able to catch up with herself, summoned a black demon horse with secret words. He flew on his horse and galloped in the direction of the Ancient Forest.

As soon as he entered the ancient forest, there was a terrible cry in the sky, which was so sharp and piercing that it seemed to cut a hole in the night sky, and a huge monster appeared in the air and flew with him in the direction of the clown's head.

The monster was a bird, not a bird, with a pair of huge wings, but there was not half a feather on the wings. Exposed bones can be seen in many places on the ugly fleshy wings, and its entire body takes on the form of a human, but more like a ghost, its gray skin is riddled with holes, and occasionally maggots poke their heads out of those holes.

After a while, four other identical monsters appeared, and they all followed the clown. When he finally pulled the leash and stopped the demon horse, the monsters began to land in his direction.

The five monsters hovered above him, making strange noises, which was supposed to be their own language, which was like some kind of hypnotic spell that reverberated in the brain and struck the listener's heart at once, perhaps this was their unique way of communicating.

The clowns nodded when their chirping stopped, and with a lift of their hands up, the monsters flickered their wings and flew into the sky.

He summoned the demon horse and came to a towering tree, placing his palm on the trunk of the tree. Soon, a pair of old green eyes appeared on the trunk of the tree. The eyes rolled, and it took a great deal of effort to see him clearly, and then the tree opened its trunk and let him pass.

This is the entrance to the Ancient Forest Dungeon, from where you can enter the dungeon by descending the slope. It was evident that the clown was quite familiar with this place, and he trotted all the way to the square where the demon soldiers were training and camping. A group of Tree Demons was coming towards him, and they stood still in front of him, waiting for him to pass before continuing their training.

He went straight into a weapons workshop, past the ghost minions who were working on his job, and then down the spiral staircase to a room on the upper floor of the workshop. Push the door open, this is his place, and this place is like a secret base hidden in a dungeon.

The door slammed shut behind him and locked itself.

Upon entering the room, there was a place that resembled a laboratory, with rows of shelves neatly filled with all sorts of bottles and jars, containing strange things, including monster embryos, plant seeds and buds, and crystals similar to gemstones, all of which were soaked in liquid.

Further back was a larger room, which housed one monster after another, and it looked as if they were still alive, and even the eyes were well processed so that they didn't decay.

There are tree demons in the specimens, the kind of monster that looks like a ghost and a bird that flew in the sky just now, and a monster lying on the ground, which looks like it should be amphibious, and there are several other monsters, but they don't look as visually striking and powerful as the first three.

The Joker continued to walk inside, to a semi-oval room in the innermost part, where he was supposed to rest. The architecture of the entire workshop is mainly metal, which makes the whole space a little bit of the old industrial era of human architecture, and the overly ornate furniture and decoration that do not match the dungeon are mixed together to achieve a dreamy effect that complements each other.

He closed the door and peeled off his boots and cloak, revealing the light armor and skin hidden within the cloak, which was also green in patches like crocodile skin, and long, sharp nails with crocodile features.

After the armor faded, he finally removed the clown mask from his face, revealing an almost human face, except that his pupils were all yellow, and the skin on his face was green.

He wrapped his hands around the back of his neck, inserted his long nails into the thick, hard skin, and pulled it so hard that he heard a thud and the skin on the back of his neck cracked. He continued to tear, peeling off the skin from his body like a coat, revealing his true face.

Ran Mingzhu guessed correctly, this monster pretending to be a clown was indeed her father Ran Tianyou.

Ran Tianyou picked up the layer of skin that had just been peeled off, dragged it to the bathroom, and threw it into the green liquid that had already been filled in the bathtub. The liquid has an effect similar to that of "formalin", but the effect is much stronger, and if you soak it for a while, it will keep the skin from rotting for months.

When all the burden on his body was removed, he could finally collapse on the sofa, pick up the pipe on the coffee table, twist some tobacco and stuff it in, light it with a finger, and take a deep breath. He tilted his head and closed his eyes gently, intoxicated by the smoke, quietly recalling the appearance of his wife, daughter and sister Ran Susu.

But his mind automatically jumped to the man who had used a charm in the secret passage to summon the waiter to chase him, it was a human being, and he could smell it even from such a distance. Living in the demon world for a long time, coupled with cultivating demon methods with special potions, he is no different from a demon now, even if he doesn't wear that skin, he doesn't use any spells, and he doesn't have any human flavor on his body.

And that skin is an indispensable disguise for him, because it symbolizes his identity in the demon world, and that skin belongs to his former master, the monster merchant who specializes in creating all kinds of monsters and selling them, the crocodile.

At that time, he relied on the clue of the secret passage to pursue the news of Qingyun, but he fell into the trap of sealing the crocodile. That guy's news is really well-informed, although Ran Tianyou has covered up his whereabouts well, he still heard that a human has come to the demon world.

Monsters, the crocodile has seen a lot and created a lot, but he has never seen a human. He thinks that scarcity is precious, and if this human being is transformed, what kind of artwork will he get? So he set a trap, pretending that Qingyun appeared, attracting the arrival of Tianyou, and then imprisoning him.

For the first few years, Ran Tianyou had been locked in a cage by the Sealed Crocodile, living like a trapped beast, sometimes forcing him to swallow strange potions that he had configured, and sometimes injecting them directly into his body, and then appreciating and observing how these potions would change his body.

However, Tianyou will never forget that Feng Crocodile watched him in pain, convulsions, and even when he entered a near-death state...... It's all a look of anticipation, hoping for a miracle to happen. His world will create powerful monsters, and then find buyers who know how to appreciate his masterpieces as his only goal.
