Chapter 41: The Revenge of the Husband
Wen Dao seemed to have expected Xi Xiaoshen to ask such a question, and explained unhurriedly: "I didn't expect that the demon girl is strong, and there are accomplices to commit crimes, and it was an accident to escape! I have found her whereabouts, and I will be able to redeem my merits!"
"The demon girl really isn't dead!" Xi Xiaocan's eyes burned, staring at Na Wendao, and pointing to the two people behind him, "What do you mean by bringing them here?"
"They are my junior brother who smells the voice, and the younger sister who smells the fragrance, will all serve the eldest lady. Wen Dao replied methodically.
"Miss Ben is not at all interested in the relationship between your characters, you just need to tell me how sure you are this time. After Xi Xiaocan confirmed the fact that Xi Xiaoshen was not dead, he just wanted to get rid of her quickly.
Hearing this, he replied "Victory" without humility or arrogance, the corners of Xi Xiaocan's mouth raised slightly, and a cold smile crossed his eyes: "Then what are you waiting for, hurry up! As long as you are satisfied with what you do, the reward will not be less." ”
In fact, Wen Dao didn't believe that Xi Xiaoshen was still alive, he just wanted to catch Mu Bai and Jiang Ye to seize the spirit bead, that's all.
He cast spells and searched many times, and finally caught their breath in Sanzhi, and immediately took two junior brothers and sisters who had just started to go to hunt demons. The reason why he came to Xi's house before this trip was to take the opportunity to invite Xi Xiaocan for credit, and after the deed was completed, he would get both spiritual beads and silver, wouldn't it be beautiful!
But unexpectedly, Xi Xiaocan offered to go with him, she had been aggrieved at home for a long time, and she had long wanted to go out to breathe, and it was just the right time to hear the truth.
Wen Dao didn't want to agree, but he could get people's money and eliminate disasters, but after Xi Xiaocan's repeated coercion and temptation, he had no choice but to accept it.
As the eldest lady of the Xi family, Mrs. Xi would never allow her to show her face, let alone go with the demon hunter.
Xi Xiaocan has never been a docile and obedient girl, since she can't find an excuse to leave the Xi family openly for a while, then she can only find another way.
At her instigation, Wen Dao cast a spell to turn a certain maid into Xi Xiaocan's appearance, and manipulated her consciousness to become a thoughtless puppet. She can only change her temper and stay in the Xi family to deceive those elders who don't know magic.
Everything was ready, Xi Xiaocan couldn't wait any longer, and immediately ordered Wendao to hurry immediately.
However, she still overestimated her ability, neither a family member to carry a sedan chair, nor a maid to support her, Xi Xiaocan could only rely on the most primitive way - walking, to the destination detected by Wendao in advance.
They walked from early morning to late at night, and Xi Xiaocan rested countless times along the way, which made Wen Dao, who had been cultivating for a long time, not calm.
"Miss, we were supposed to be able to get to Sanzhi today, but you haven't walked a few steps before you clamoring to rest for a while, it seems that you can only spend the night in the dark forest tonight. ”
Xi Xiaocan sat down with her back against a towering ancient tree, and pinched her sore calves and stomach angrily: "Miss Ben is so tired that she can't walk! Who told you to refuse to carry my sedan chair......!
Wen Dao was about to speak, but he saw that the ancient tree behind Xi Xiaocan revealed a faint green glow, which burst out from the criss-crossing lines of the old bark. The dense points of light quickly blended and expanded, like thousands of pythons wanting to entangle Xi Xiaocan.
"Array!" Wen Dao's expression was awe-inspiring, and under a loud shout, the sound and fragrance behind him immediately opened the magic circle, and there was a sound in his mouth, and at the same time he threw a peach wood sword engraved with charms.
Under the blessing of the spell, the three peachwood swords immediately became blood-red, and the dense charms on the sword body were like burning flames, bursting out with lightning-like air blades.
The sharp blade burst out, and between the intertwining of light and shadow, all of them smashed the green glittering demon branches. The towering tree rapidly transformed, transforming into a dryad that could come and go freely, hiding from the attacks of the Lightblade.
During this period, Xi Xiaocan didn't notice it, seeing Wen Dao and the others setting up a formation to chant a spell, she only felt inexplicable: "Hey, what kind of trick are you doing?"
"Don't move!" Hearing this, Xi Xiaocan didn't listen at all, and looked back at them with their eyes, only to see the green dryad pounce with its teeth and claws, frightening her to lose her face, and screaming with her hands pulling her hair.
"Yokai...... Youkai......"
Wen Dao jumped up, scooped up Xi Xiaocan, Wen Sheng and Wen Xiang took advantage of the situation, and threw out the brilliant demon binding magic chain with a tacit understanding, tying up the desperately struggling tree demon with all kinds of flowers, tying it so that it couldn't move.
Seeing this, Wen Dao put down Xi Xiaocan, turned back and swung his sword and stabbed into the dryad's chest, instantly splitting a seven-inch-long wound, the glowing green pulp gurgled out, and the dryad, whose body was gradually shriveled up, raised his head to the sky and let out a hoarse sound.
When it turned into wisps of smoke and disappeared, a brilliant bead was suspended in mid-air, and when he heard it, his face was happy, and he hurriedly flew up and held it in his hand.
"This damn dryad, it's really terrifying!" Xi Xiaocan scolded a few words hatefully, and then was attracted by the beads in Wen Dao's hand, "What is that?
"Of course!" Wen Dao admired the flickering beads on his palms, his eyes turned a few times, and explained in detail, "If the demon hunter gets the spirit bead, he can improve his cultivation, and if the monster gets the spirit bead, he can also boost the demon power." But for ordinary Terrans...... It can only be used for viewing, and has little practical use. ”
Wen Dao was afraid that Xi Xiaocan would be worried about this hard-won spirit bead, and deliberately did not explain the benefits of the spirit bead to the human race, but the more he was afraid of something, the more he was afraid, Xi Xiaocan's hands were as fast as the wind and lightning, and he snatched the spirit bead from Wen Dao's hand while he was unprepared.
"You ......" Hearing this, he clenched his fists angrily, secretly regretting why he took her with him and blocked himself.
"Can't the three of you beat a Xi Xiaoshen?, that might be too useless!" Xi Xiaocan squinted at the three of them, and continued arrogantly, "If it's useless, I want it, so I should leave it to Miss Ben to enjoy! Don't forget, I paid you to catch demons, and all the income along the way should be mine!"
Xi Xiaocan didn't pay attention to the sulking Wen Dao at all, and proudly played with the spirit bead: "It's so beautiful, it can be made into a hairpin, or a pendant ......."
There is a saying that people are too proud and easy to get carried away, and Xi Xiaocan stepped on something hard before he took a few steps.
She looked down by the light of the spirit bead, and vaguely saw that it was an object with arms and legs, and the shape of the body was like a human shape, but the whole body was scorched black, and the musculokeletal atrophy had long since dried out.
Xi Xiaocan was both curious and frightened, her scalp was numb and she continued to look up, but this glance almost scared her guts, crying and screaming like a wolf.
Wen Sheng and Wen Xiang's expression covered his ears in pain, Wen Dao shook his head, and stepped forward to inspect the dried corpse, only to see that its eye sockets were deeply sunken, and its mouth was strangely open to the fullest, and the death was indeed a little terrifying.
"This man's essence and blood have been sucked up by the monster, we have to be more careful and rush to Sanzhi as soon as possible......"
As soon as Wen Dao spoke, Wen Sheng and Wen Xiang didn't dare to hesitate, and even Xi Xiaocan became much more honest, obediently following behind them, and quickly walked out of this dark night forest.
