Chapter 47: Dragon Valley
Seeing the prey stay in place, the bird demon thought that Xu Chen was scared stupid, and suddenly let out a piercing scream from his mouth and swooped down, and the pair of sharp claws mercilessly grabbed Xu Chen's head.
However, the Lang Bird did not get its wish, and at the moment when its claws were about to catch Xu Chen, Xu Chen had already turned his body and easily dodged the attack of the bird demon, and then disappeared from its sight.
The next moment, there was a hint of horror in Lang Bird's eyes, and it instinctively sensed that there was a hidden danger behind it.
"Chirp!" As Lang Bird screamed, the monster flapped its wings and quickly flew into the air, causing Xu Chen's subsequent blow to pounce into the air.
This guy's flight speed is extremely fast, Xu Chen couldn't catch up with it after receiving it, seeing that it was about to fly into the dense jungle, Xu Chen couldn't help but stomp his feet and sigh, and then he wanted to trace it, but it was not easy to find it.
"If you want to run, is it that easy?" With a sneer, a sword light flew in front of him, and actually hit the Lang Bird that was about to fall into the forest, and as the sword light flashed away, the Lang Bird fell down head.
Xu Chen immediately shouted hello, and with the magic of this flying sword demon slashing revealed by the comer, he realized that this person's mana cultivation was far above his own, and it was likely that he had cultivated to the Xuantian Realm.
Then a general in gold armor rushed in, and the two warriors of the Detention Kingdom quickly bowed to him when they saw this person's figure.
It turned out that the person who helped them was the commander who commanded the naval army of the Detention Kingdom to fight against the Demon Cockroach, and when he was looking for a way out, he saw that his subordinates were in danger, so he quickly took action to destroy the harpy.
Seeing that Xu Chen was not dressed like a local, the golden-armored general couldn't help but look him up and down, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said, "Little brother, the young man who fought to the death against the demon beast and demon mantis on the sea just now is you, right?"
"It's down there. Xu Chen said a little embarrassedly: "It's a pity that the mana is low, and I can't help the magic cockroach." ”
"What did the little brother say, it is already rare to have the cultivation of refining the Void Realm at a young age. ”
After talking, the middle-aged general told Xu Chen his identity, and Xu Chen learned that the other party's surname was Su Ling Xuan, and he was a powerful general of the Detention Kingdom.
Although this is an overseas place, Xu Chen didn't know whether the wanted warrant of the Protoss had been served in the detention country, he was afraid that reporting his real name would cause unnecessary trouble, so he had to make up a lie improvly, saying that his name was Xu Da, and Wang Shen, who was traveling with him, was his uncle, and the two crossed the ocean to do business because of their poor family background.
In fact, Xu Chen was too worried, although these people were soldiers of the Detention Kingdom, but they were thousands of miles away from the Central Plains, they only roughly heard about the murder of the God King of Chongwu Mountain by a traitor, and they didn't know what the murderer's surname was or what his identity was.
At present, Su Lingxuan saw Xu Chen say this, and couldn't help but sigh: "You are so good at it, but you have been reduced to being in the company of businessmen, what a waste of talents, why don't I recommend Brother Xu to Your Majesty in the future and find a half-official position for you, I don't know what you think?"
"This can't be helped, it's hard to move to your homeland, and you'll miss your hometown after wandering outside for a long time. Xu Chen hurriedly waved his hand and rejected his kindness.
Seeing that he was not greedy for glory and wealth, Su Lingxuan knew that Xu Chen was a man, so he no longer persuaded him, and said instead: "Let's think about getting out and returning to the country of detention first." ”
"That's very good. Xu Chen nodded and responded: "But I am a stranger below, who knows the topography and path of this ghost place, and I hope that General Su can take me away from this place." ”
"General, since this is the underwater world, if you don't see any traces of water here, could it be that you have arrived at the legendary Crystal Palace?" the warrior of the Restrained Kingdom repeated his old words, and it could be seen that he was very confident in his judgment.
"Look at your ignorant appearance, just let Brother Xu laugh!" Su Lingxuan poured a basin of cold water on his head, and said in a deep voice: "The Crystal Palace is where the Dragon King lives, and there are tall palaces built of 10,000-year-old crystals everywhere, but the mountains here are high and the forests are deep, will the Crystal Palace be like this?"
The soldier who said something was silent, Xu Chen saw that his face was embarrassed and didn't want to embarrass the soldier anymore, so he said, "May I ask General Su, do you know where this place is?"
"If I'm not mistaken, this should be the Valley of the Evil Dragons where the Demon Beasts live. ”
"That's right, why didn't I think of it!" Xu Chen suddenly realized, and said happily: "The magic mantis fell from above, and the mysterious person who helped it also said that it should return to the lair, listening to the general's words, this must be the Evil Dragon Valley." ”
In fact, Xu Chen didn't know that the place where the demon mantis lived was called Evil Dragon Valley, but he just heard what Su Lingxuan said that he had a nose and eyes, so he believed his words.
Su Lingxuan sighed: "The person who subdues the Demon Claw has vast magical powers, I think his cultivation is beyond the possession of us human beings, I am afraid that only a true god can do it." ”
Another burly warrior asked, "General, don't worry about it for now, or please find a way to get us out of this hellish place." ”
"I've heard Master say that there is a labyrinth under the Demon Cantis in the Valley of the Evil Dragon, don't think that there is a road in front of you, in fact, outsiders will only fall into the illusion it creates, and it will be difficult for us to get out. ”
"What then, are we going to be trapped here?" the two warriors turned pale with fright.
Xu Chen was also a little worried, but his eyes lit up and he smiled: "It's not impossible, no matter how clever the maze is, as long as we defeat the magic mantle, it will naturally collapse, and then we will be able to find a way out." ”
Su Lingxuan also smiled back: "Brother Xu and I have thought of a piece, the demon mantis killed many of my brothers, and this time we must not spare it." ”
"General, this beast is so powerful, we can't beat it on the sea, I'm afraid we won't have a chance to win here!"
Xu Chen saw that this warrior had a trilling voice when he spoke, and knew that he had not yet recovered from the previous shadow, so he said loudly: "This matter is indeed difficult, but staying here can only wait for death, it is better to let it go, maybe there is still a trace of life!"
Su Lingxuan said: "Brother Xu is right, the Demon Cantis has been seriously injured, and now it has entered a twenty-year slumber period, and there will still be the previous arrogance, we just took advantage of its unpreparedness to kill it by surprise." ”
When the two soldiers saw that the general had spoken, how dare they disobey the military order, so they said in unison: "The little one is willing to follow the general to kill the demon mantle!"
Xu Chen struck while the iron was hot and said, "In that case, without further ado, let's set out now to find the whereabouts of the Demon Worm, except for this evil spirit." ”
"Don't worry, let's eat first. ”
Su Lingxuan turned his head and ordered his two subordinates to bring the corpse of the Lang Bird and prepare to make a fire to roast it and feast on it.
After Xu Chen saw that the burly warrior had disemboweled the Lang Bird with the short knife he carried, he felt it in its belly with his hand, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "This brother, what are you doing?"
"I'm looking for the youkai's Neidan, it is said that eating it can prolong your life and increase your own cultivation. ”
Xu Chen couldn't help but laugh secretly after hearing this, thinking to himself that this guy looks five big and three thick, but he is a fine person, and he never forgets to take benefits. Before he could answer, he heard Su Lingxuan say, "Don't look for it, beware of losing your life." ”
The soldier was shocked and asked, "What do you mean by this?"
"The inner dan of the monster is the condensation of the demonic qi in the body, and it has a great conflict with the true qi of our cultivation, if you don't have great mana to dissolve it, you will definitely suffer from it and endanger your life. ”
Xu Chen was a person who had been instructed by the demon princess Qianshuangxue, and knew that what Su Lingxuan said was hearsay and not necessarily right, not to mention that this dead Lang Bird had only practiced for hundreds of years, and it was difficult for him to condense into an inner pill, so he was straightforward and did not refute it.
Sure enough, as Xu Chen expected, the warrior gave up looking for a long time without seeing the shadow of Neidan, and then hung the body of the bird demon on a wooden rack and grilled it.
When they were roasted until they were seven or eight medium-rare, they suddenly heard someone shouting behind them: "It's so fragrant, why don't you ask Xiao Lao'er to taste such delicacies!"
Hearing these familiar words, Xu Chen suddenly knew that Wang Shen was coming, and hurriedly turned around to look, but he knew that Wang Shen had approached the bonfire and smelled the smell of meat with his nose.
Seeing that Wang Shen was safe and sound, Xu Chen also breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly introduced to Su Lingxuan, after a few people exchanged pleasantries, they tore open the Lang bird and ate it, Wang Shen took out the gourd and distributed the wine to everyone, and before they knew it, everyone became familiar with it.
During the banquet, Su Lingxuan talked about the origin of the demon mantis, and Xu Chen realized that what Wang Shen said was true, this monster was indeed the son of Jiuying, and it also had an elder brother named Evil False.
When the ten days of the year were rising, the blazing sun baked the fierce water river where the nine babies lived very hot, and the nine babies couldn't bear it and jumped ashore to eat when they saw people, and at the same time ordered the local people to sacrifice a pair of virgins and boys every day for him to eat, and finally made the heavens angry and resentful, and he also got retribution.
Nine days after Hou Yi's arrows were fired, he was furious when he heard the people tell about the atrocities of Jiuying, so he personally came to the Fierce Water River to find the whereabouts of Jiuying.
The Nine Babies were born from the Kan and Li'er Qi in the Yin and Yang Bagua, so they were born with powerful spells of water and fire. He also believed that he had nine heads and nine lives, how could he have put Hou Yi in his eyes, so at the beginning of the battle, he opened nine mouths together, spewing flames and spitting poisonous water, in a vain attempt to kill Hou Yi on the spot.
How do you know that Hou Yi's divine power is extraordinary, and after a big battle, he broke the spell of Jiuying, and beat it all over his body, Jiuying saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly plunged into the fierce water river and did not come out again.
Located in Beidi, the fierce water river is thousands of feet deep, and the river surface is turbulent all year round, and ordinary people cannot dive into the river to eliminate demons.
But Hou Yi had the Kunlun Water Avoidance Pill given by the Queen Mother of the West, and when he entered the fierce water river, he easily found the hiding place of the nine infants, and shot nine serial arrows in a row, hitting its nine heads in one volley, thus killing this ferocious demon beast.
When Hou Yi shot the Nine Infants, the Demon Mantis and the Evil Evil Evil saw that the enemy was brave and invincible, and quickly slipped away and fled to a wild place overseas, so they survived by luck.
Hearing this, Xu Chen couldn't help but sigh: "These two unscrupulous sons actually disregarded their father's life, and their conscience was eaten by dogs!"
Su Lingxuan sighed: "It's a pity that we don't have the magical power of King Dayi, otherwise it would be the turn of the Demon Mantis to do evil in the Detention Country!"
After everyone had eaten and drunk, they began to discuss how to kill the murderous and hateful Demon Claw, and finally agreed to follow the path in front of them, and see what the scenery was at the end of the road before making plans.
This is the only way to do it, knowing that being in the maze of the magic mantis is likely to go to the end and find nothing, but everyone can only try their luck.
