Chapter 079: The Snake's Den
In the crypts around Bian Du, Duo Ermu and his wife were nervously and expectantly thinking about what would happen after today.
His wife's slightly bulging lower abdomen added to his eyes full of hope.
"My lord, after several generations of displacement, now my Yan Snake clan can finally find a stable place to live. Dormu's wife said with tenderness in her eyes.
Even for the demon, she is not young. There are slight wrinkles on the corners of the eyes and forehead.
The snake clan does not need lights to walk at night, and it is even darker in the crypt at this time.
But Duo Ermu clearly saw that his wife was very beautiful.
"King Nanliang, may he keep his word, as he did before," said Duo Ermu firmly, "and mortals are beyond their means. If it weren't for the fact that my Yan Snake clan had been fighting with the demons all year round and had suffered a great loss in combat power, how would there be a chance for mortals in the world to survive. ”
"Yes," said Duo'ermu's wife, resting her head on her husband's shoulder, "what the king said is that we, the demon race, have waited too long. Ever since we were ...... by our ancestors"
"The Queen," Duo Ermu interrupted her, "don't think about the matter of the ancestors.
In that world, even our parents can't go back, and for us, it's just a fantasy.
My only wish in this life is to take you and my people to find a place to settle down.
And also...... Our little prince. ”
"How does the king know that it is the little prince?" said Duo Ermu's wife with a smile in her eyes.
"Whether it's a little prince or a little princess, I will love it the same. Queen, after tonight......"
Duo Mu and his wife looked at each other steadfastly, as if looking at a new world that had been waiting for a long time.
At this time, a young snake demon came to report: "Your Majesty, the statistics of the past few days have been completed. The people who came to Bian Du from all walks of life shared ......"
Duo Ermu urged, "How many? ”
The young man said, "Your Majesty, there are less than eight thousand. ”
"What......" Duo Ermu let out a long sigh, "I thought there should be tens of thousands. Unexpectedly...... When I arrived in Biandu, there were only 8,000 left. ”
"Jun Shang is angry, on the way to Bian Du, it is the middle of summer, and many young snakes that are about to transform are only half humanoid, and they can only crawl underground, they ...... Many did not make it through this long journey. ”
"That's it......" Duo Ermu frowned, "and eight thousand, which is the support of my clan." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty," his wife also persuaded him, "Seven days ago, the three thousand mortal women sent by King Nanliang, plus the box of medicine that Qing Ji stole from the Qianhuan Palace, the number of our clan will definitely increase several times next spring." ”
"That's right, Your Majesty," the young snake demon added, "and among those women, there are already many young eggs, and the medicine of the Qianhuan Palace is indeed very effective. ”
"Hmph," Duo Ermu snorted, "The royal family of the Great Summoning Kingdom is rotten, and this monarch will not always divide and rule with King Nanliang! At this rate, wait until the spring of the next year......
"There were a hundred thousand. Duo Ermu's wife laughed.
Duo Ermu clenched the steel whip in his hand, he knew that he and King Nanliang had never been friends.
However, he thanked him somewhat for sending him a woman who could conceive life and a place of temporary peace and tranquility.
Everything is waiting for tomorrow.
It's a pity that Dormu will never be able to wait for tomorrow.
......
The dark crypt insulates itself from all the heat of the outside and buries deep underground. The intertwined caves are like the roots of an ancient tree.
Eight thousand flame snakes, this is the last hope of the ancient demon clan of Yan Qi.
In the ancient books, they had seen the strange scenery recorded by their ancestors—a forest of peaks that reached into the sky, and above the sea of clouds, each mountain peak was a different scene of the four seasons.
Between the peaks, there is a bay of river, and the bottom of the moist and warm water was once where the ancestors of the flame snake lived.
But for the demon clan born in the mortal world, all this is just a legend. Today's flame snakes have long been accustomed to surviving in dryness.
The snake eggs of the Flame Snake clan are extremely fragile, and in the troubled times, all the demons kill each other, and these snake eggs have no chance of surviving.
As a last resort, they migrated from the dry underlands of the northwest to the territory of the mortals in the south.
In their opinion, although these mortals behaved grotesquely and killed each other, the underground here was indeed a good place for the flame snake to recuperate.
They can reproduce and produce here, as well as gain time to cultivate and transform into human form.
The Demon Monarch Duoermu is the hero of the Flame Snake Clan. He had made a promise from the mouth of the mortal prince that tomorrow would be the starting point for the eternal glory of the Flame Serpent Clan.
Dormu also rewarded them all, thousands of mortal women, all of whom had the honor of renewing the legacy of the Serpent God in ancient rituals.
It was night, and all the sturdy snake demons were lurking, closing their eyes and recuperating, just waiting for tomorrow, the signal of the mortal prince.
It's just that......
Before he could react, the smell of blood filled the entire crypt.
The basilisk who was the first to be spotted was in a hurry to swim to the center of the crypt and report to the demon lord Duo Ermu, but the narrow passage of the crypt had already been filled with the corpses of his companions.
I don't know where the pungent smell came from, and the blue-purple flames stung his eyes.
"Not good!"
The crypt was now filled with the hissing of snakes warning each other, and he could only follow his instincts and swim towards the hole on the surface of the crypt.
As long as he can find another of his kind with symmetrical wings, he will be able to take to the skies and perhaps avoid death!
They are the last of the Flame Snake clan, and it is not cowardice to save their lives at this time, but bravery.
It's a pity that it wasn't until he swam to the entrance of the cave that he found that he and his people had lost their demonic power, and even if their wings met, they couldn't fly.
Before he could figure out why he couldn't mobilize the demonic power of his whole body, there was a stinging pain seven inches above, and someone stabbed a sharp dagger into his throat from behind.
"Those women have ghosts!"
It was his last thought before he died.
It's a pity that he can't tell his kind anymore......
"Queen, run, take our children, and go get the snake eggs in the suburbs of Bian!"
Dormu hurriedly shook his wife awake, who was pregnant and drowsy from time to time. When I opened my eyes, the crypt was already filled with blood.
"Wangjun, who are they?"
Dormu's wife wept and said that if her husband did not leave, she would not leave here.
"Sima Ling, a traitor!"
Duo Ermu held a steel whip and turned into a two-winged flame snake covered in scales—he was the only two-winged flame snake in Yan Qi.
Originally, he pinned his hopes on the snake egg in the belly of the demon queen, if it was a prince, maybe Yan Qi would usher in another two-winged flame snake.
But now...... How could he allow it all to come to naught!
With the snake's keen sense of smell, he could smell the smell of Sima Ling on the Mufen platform that day - he was also among them!
Wrong...... With blood, he could clearly smell that this was not the breath that mortals should have!
Sima Ming...... He's a demon?!
The breath of the Snake Clan is not in the crypt, nor is it all the breath of mortals.
This shows that Sima Ling attacked with a group of demon clans, and ......
There is only one mortal.
