"Hmm...... It's still a few kilometers away from the destination, not far away. Jue looked at the map with his mobile phone and said, "And you can use this thing to see the map, it's really convenient......
"Why don't you take a break first, although you and I can be competent for these few kilometers of cross-country in terms of ability, but Ouyang Treading Snow Clan can't stand it. Ying Ning looked at Ouyang Taxue behind him and said.
"Ah...... It's okay......" Ouyang Taxue said while holding his stomach, "It's just a fork in the air just now, it's okay......"
"I've been chased all the way by demons, hurry up next time, don't fall behind again. Jue said, then put down his phone and said, "Let's take a rest first." Ouyang Taxue, your husband will build a fire, and I'll go out with Ying Ning to see if I can find any prey. β
"Understood. Ouyang Taxue nodded and walked towards the surrounding trees to see if he could find some branches.
Jue sensed it with the hunter's eye for a while and then said, "Where there may be some prey, let's go." β
After a full day's journey, Jue and his party crossed the desert and reached the center of the Demon Domain. Now Jue, all they have to do is find the territory of the vampire clan.
"I didn't expect to be able to get out of it, that desert. Ying Ning said as she searched for the prey.
"Isn't this nonsense, do you think that my road in the desert was lost in vain?" Jue said unhappily, "I have a lot of experience." β
Although it took Jue and his party a day to get out of the desert, this is thanks to Jue's leadership, otherwise it would have been enough to come out. Because there is nothing to be found in the desert that can be used as a target, and there is no information about the desert on the map. On the way, Ying Ning and Ouyang Taxue saw animals and the remains of some people more than once.
"Hehe, I really want to thank you...... "Ying Ning said with a smile.
["Lord, these people are ......" Ouyang Taxue asked so scared when he first encountered the corpse.
"The former mage should have been killed here. Jue said as he walked, ignoring the fact that there were too many corpses - except that sometimes interesting relics were found from them.
"Mage, why did Mage come here?" Ying Ning was full of doubts.
"For the Leap Spell, of course. Jue said as he walked, "The Leap Spell was ...... No, even now it's an unsolvable puzzle in the wizarding world. In the past, many mages tried to find out the principles of the Leap spell, and it was also a dark time when mages disappeared frequently. β
Jue smiled tiredly as he spoke, his smile was weird, and it looked quite penetrating.
After hearing this, Ying Ning leaned into Jue's ear and asked, "The Leaping Spell used by the Silver and White Calamity ......?"
After hearing this, Jue stopped and looked at Ying Ning. His eyes were hollow, and he looked like he had given up on life. He said, "I'm the one I used to be, the one who tried the Leap Spell. β
"Have you succeeded?" Ying Ning asked, after all, it was said in the introduction of the Silver and White Calamity that it was able to tear through space and travel freely within the Three Realms.
"Ha, although you can travel through the world, the destination is difficult to control. Jue smirked, "I really remember the first time I was trapped here......"
"Pretty bad, right?" asked Yingning.
"Ah, it's not too bad, I've been stuck here for about two or three months. β
"Two or three months?!" Ying Ning was taken aback when he heard this, he looked at the endless desert and asked, "Then what do you eat?!!
"Demon ......" Jue snorted, "That's the most unpalatable demon meat I can remember." β
Ying Ning had heard about Xia Ni when he met Jue the winter before, and also said that he later learned about Jue's use of demon meat to entertain them. Although Ying Ning recognized Jue's cooking skills, he himself did not believe that Jue could make demon meat delicious. Because the demonic meat smells very fishy, it tastes bitter, and it is as hard to chew as cowhide, even dragons with bites on top of various creatures can't stand it. But now after listening to Jue's evaluation of the demonic meat he had eaten before, he somewhat believed in Xia Ni's words.
It must have been forced to practice out of desperation......]
Just when Ying Ning was still thinking, Jue in front of him suddenly bowed down and grabbed the soil on the ground to observe.
"There's a big guy in front ......" Jue sniffed the clod of soil in his hand, "Kui python ?......"
"What's that?" Ying Ning asked curiously.
"Uh...... A kind of serpent, a creature that lives in the Demon Realm. It's a big one, it's troublesome...... Jue put down the soil in his hand and said, "Although it's delicious, the snake skin is crunchy, and the meat is very firm, but ...... It's just that it's too cumbersome to hunt and kill. β
"Do you eat snakes?......" Ying Ning's expression was a little complicated. He was hungry, but it was best to be able to catch a deer, but it was a bit hard to accept if he was a snake.
"What are you afraid of, I've eaten it several times. Jue said, "Don't worry, this animal is a common prey in the Demon Domain, so don't worry about it at all." (The Kui python is indeed a wild animal in the Demon Domain, but it does not carry pathogens that can cause illness among the people of the Three Realms, and it is classified as a prey that can be directly hunted in the "Nameless Law Book", so it can be hunted with confidence.) οΌβ
"......" Ying Ning couldn't make up his mind for a while, he himself was a person who was not used to accepting change, so he didn't want to try something he hadn't touched because it was new.
"Ouyang Taxue is also dangerous alone, why don't you go back first?" Jue said.
β...... Forget it, let's do it quickly. Ying Ning said.
"That's what it should be. Jue stood up and walked forward.
After walking nearly twenty meters, Jue suddenly stopped.
"Look at that. Jue pointed to a fruit tree in front of him.
There was a huge python wrapped around the fruit tree. Its body was almost as thick as a wheel, and its elongation was like a scarf wrapped around the tree, wrapping the whole tree around itβmore than twenty meters to say the least.
"What is this thing?!" Ying Ning asked in surprise. But he also has a sense of hunting, so he doesn't say it very loudly.
"Quea. Jue said.
Perhaps hearing Jue's voice, Kui Mang in the tree suddenly stretched his head off the canopy. It was an angular, scary-looking snake's head, like the head of a spiny lizard.
"Hey, it's coming!" Ying Ning said, placing his hand on the hilt of Feiyu Yinhua's sword.
Jue went to stop him at this time. He said: "Don't be afraid, this thing has a very gentle personality on weekdays, and it is mainly vegetarian. Although its head looks scary and resembles a venomous snake, it is not actually venomous...... Ah, one thing to remind is that this thing has teeth, teeth like a small saw, mainly used to cut fruits. β
Ying Ning breathed a sigh of relief after listening to Jue's words, and then said, "Then what are you going to do?
"Wait a minute, wait a little closer...... Jue slowly approached the guy, "Although this thing is gentle on weekdays, it is actually very high in combat, and its scales are very hard, generally speaking, it cannot be broken." β
Jue walked slowly towards the Kui python.
With your ability, you should be able to destroy this thing in one fell swoop, right?!
Ying Ning looked at Jue's cautious look.
Jue slowly approached, and at the same time he was preparing a spell to deal a fatal blow on this thing.
But at this moment, a wind-breaking sound suddenly came from the bushes behind the tree that Kui Mang was entangled, followed by the trembling of the Kui Python.
"Damn?!Who's attacking this thing?!" Jue yelled when he saw that Kui Python had been attacked.
But the fury at this time no longer has any meaning, because Kui Python has already targeted Jue.
It suddenly came down from the tree and rushed towards Jue like a train.
Jue jumped to his feet, dodging the close-to-ground attack that might have sawed his leg off.
"Jue!" Ying Ning was about to rush out after seeing this situation.
"Don't come here!" Jue stopped while confronting Kui Python, "This thing is very mobile, don't come here and occupy my mobile space!"
After listening to Jue's reasoning, Ying Ning understood the danger of the Kui Python, and also understood why Jue relied on the Kui Python to attack so close - what he wanted was to kill with one blow in case of subsequent trouble.
But who exactly launched the attack?
Ying Ning looked at the fruit tree to avoid the bushes. He was wary of taking the flying feather Yinhua around to the side of the bushes. For him, he had to be careful of the enemies that might come at any time.
And Jue, who had enough space, quickly used a spell to kill the Kui python.
"Cut! difficult long worm!" Jue thought as he looked at the Kui python who was electrocuted by lightning. Then he went to find Ying Ning.
"Ying Ning...... Huh, in the back?" Jue noticed the change in Yingning's position, but Jue didn't feel confused. In Jue's opinion, Ying Ning is not stupid enough to just watch him hunt from the sidelines, so the change of Ying Ning's position should be to cover Jue from being attacked by people who release bows and arrows.
Jue squatted down to inspect the body of the Kui python.
He pulled the arrow from the python's body and analyzed it.
Well...... The craftsmanship of the arrows is very good, quite sharp, and the refining of the metal is also very good, the texture of the iron is very good, and there are few impurities. The wood of the arrow shaft has been well maintained against moisture, and the feathers at the back are also made of good material...... It is an arrow that only large families are capable of.
Jue stood up and probed Ying Ning's location again.
Huh? Come on?...... Someone else in the back?
Jue turned to look at the bushes behind the fruit trees.
Ying Ning came over, but the people behind him didn't see Jue.
"Hey, the one in the back, you can come out. Jue said to the bushes.
But at the moment when Jue finished speaking, Ying Ning suddenly pulled out the Flying Feather Yinhua and slashed it at Jue.
Jue was directly frightened, and he jumped back to avoid Ying Ning's attack.
I didn't feel the murderous ......
"Ying Ning!" Jue shouted loudly.
Ying Ning seemed to subconsciously raise her head.
After seeing Ying Ning's state, Jue instantly understood what was happening.
He walked behind Ying Ning in an instant, and hit him by the neck to knock him unconscious. Then, Jue directly launched a magic circle against the bushes.
"If you want to die, give it to me!" Jue said. After seeing that no one responded on the other side of the bush, Jue directly released the spell.
I heard the sound of mud bubbling from the other side of the bushes, followed by a woman's scream.
Over there!
Jue instantly determined the position of the other party through the sound, and then rushed over at once, knocking him down at the moment of seeing the figure.
After some time, Ying Ning woke up.
"Jue?......" Ying Ning's blurred eyes saw Jue's figure, as if he was trying to carry the Kui python.
"Ah, how did you sleep?" Jue looked at Ying Ning, and then pulled him up from the ground.
"Did you kill the Kui Python?" Ying Ning looked at the corpse of the Kui Python.
"Are you free from the charm?" Jue asked.
What's the charm? What's the situation?...... By the way, I remember I went looking for the archers......
When Ying Ning thought about it again, she realized what was behind Jue.
A man wearing a snow cloak and a cotton embroidered brocade robe should be a woman in terms of body shape, and the clothes he wears resemble the eldest lady of ancient hunting. She was tied to a tree and wore a cloak over her head that Jue had brought from the corpse when she had walked in the desert.
"Hmm...... This guy isn't Ouyang Taxue, right?" asked Ying Ning. On weekdays, Jue likes to make fun of Ouyang Taxue, so the first thing Ying Ning thought of after seeing this scene was that Ouyang Taxue was punished nonsensically by Jue because of some trivial things.
However, although this person is generally similar to Ouyang Taxue, he always feels that the body proportion of this person in front of him is better.
"Ah, no. Jue said as he took out something like an eye mask from the storage space and handed it to Ying Ning's hand.
"What is this?" asked Ying Ning, holding the blindfold.
"Ah, blindfolded, but you can see through the blindfold...... Wenders' blindfold you know? This one is the same as that. Jue said, "I'm afraid you'll be seduced by the Eye of Charm again." β
"Enchanting Spell?...... Ahh
Ying Ning put on an eye patch.
"Wow! I can really see it...... But what's the use of inventing something like this?" Ying Ning asked after half a second of admiration.
"In close combat, you don't let your opponent see the enemy you're attacking through your eyes...... At most, it's just a little trick used by novices against veterans, and it's useless. Jue walked over to the man's side, and then suddenly turned around with the cloth on her head.
After seeing the man's appearance, Ying Ning was stunned.
Her beauty is the same as that of Bing Chidori! Her delicate face like a doll, coupled with her figure and the decorations on her body, is simply not too beautiful! Even a royal race like Ying Ning, whose aesthetic level itself is very high, can hardly parry his beauty.
However, after observing her eyes, Ying Ning understood that there was a reason for her beauty - her eyes were a pair of purple pupils, which were the same "charming pupils" as Bing Chidori.
"Hmm...... It's rare, it's the same brown hair as Ouyang Taxue......" Jue said as if she were an acquaintance.
"Don't touch me, you bastard!" the woman looked like an angry puppy when she saw Jue move her hair, trying to turn her head and bite Jue's hand.
"Hey, you guy...... You're a demon, right?!Can you be a little reserved?" Jue quickly put away his hand, but was still startled by the manic girl.
Ying Ning took a closer look at the woman in front of her and found that she was indeed a demon.
Although the demons are similar to humans in terms of eyes, their teeth are very different from those of humans. The teeth of the demons are very sharp shark teeth and canine teeth that have become real fangs. And like the eyes of the dragon people, this shark tooth is also an important basis for ordinary people to judge the demons and humans. The demons and gods do not have a real body, so the dragon clan with a real body can be said to be unique among the royal races.
"Really, I don't even let my hair move...... Jue rubbed his hands and walked back to Ying Ning's side.
"No, no, no, you can't move. And do you know other people through your hair color?" Ying Ning said speechlessly.
"So......" Jue looked at the woman in front of him and asked, "Who are you? Why do you provoke Kui Python?"
"What? Anger the Python?!Do you know that thing is dangerous!" said the woman.
"You guy...... Ah, did you not see us because the fruit tree was in the way?" Jue said after thinking for a while.
After listening to Jue's words, the woman was stunned, and she said, "You ...... Are you hunting pythons too?"
Jue nodded. She pointed to her feet and said, "I almost sawed off my feet by the snake." β
"Ah...... I'm so sorry...... I didn't see you......" The woman whispered after hearing Jue's words.
"Ha~ It's okay, it's okay. As compensation, this python will be mine. β
"What?!No, this is a high-quality prey that I finally encountered~ I finally took a vacation, but I didn't expect the prey in my hand to be robbed again, and now it is still tied to a tree...... It's so unlucky!" The more the woman spoke, the more sad she became, and she cried a little later.
Obviously, Jue and Ying Ning are not good at dealing with girls who want to cry, so as a last resort, Jue can only loosen the ties of this woman.
"Alright," Jue threw the rope at the python to pack it later, "what's your name?"
The woman moved her wrist, then looked at Jue with her eyes hooked, and said, "Now, take care of the Kui python for me, and then send it to my ......."
Just as the woman was talking, Jue hit the woman on the head with a blade. He said, "Don't be useless, tell me what your name is?"
"Why is the eye of charm useless to you!" the woman looked at Jue with tears in her eyes, her eyes full of unconvinced.
"It's useless, otherwise how could I consciously put the blindfold on this guy and I didn't wear it?" Jue said a little impatiently, "Tell me, what's your name?"
The woman saw that Jue was not easy to mess with, so she said, "Okay, I'll say I'...... My name is Hitomi. β
"Pupil Fish?" Jue's eyes widened when he heard this, as if he had suddenly discovered that the dog he had kept for several years was actually a cat.
"Hmph," Xiao Tong puffed up his chest and said proudly after seeing Jue's surprise, "Miss Ben is an important official of the Demon Clan! If you bully me, you just wait! There must be no good fruit for you to eat!"
Ying Ning and Jue both looked at the pupils in front of them in a daze.
"Uh...... Jue. Are the demons such a bureaucratic race?" asked Ying Ning.
"Ah, their political system is still very different from that of the dragon clan, that's why she dares to speak like this openly...... That guy's sister is really not a good stubble......" Jue said speechlessly.
"Sister, do you know this Miss Hitomi?"
"I guess so, but she doesn't think she remembers me. Jue said indifferently, "But it's okay, if you don't remember my words, you can save some unnecessary things." β
Just when Xiao Tong was still showing off her martial arts, the sound of "goo~" came from her stomach.
"Uh...... Hungry?" Jue asked awkwardly. Because it was so loud that it was hard to ignore.
Hitomi didn't say anything, but shook her head with a red face.
As a result, another loud hungry voice sounded and successfully slapped her in the face.
Jue sighed when he saw that this guy was a person with a swollen face and a fat man.
"Ying Ning, carry this thing back...... Miss Xiao Tong, do you want to eat this together?"
