Chapter 182: Rift
The three of them traveled eastward and headed towards the Demon Song Forest.
Quanshan is extremely far away from the Demon Song Forest, if it is an ordinary person, this road can be walked for three years and five years, but with the footsteps of the three of Shenhuan, three months is enough.
Although there is still some time before the half-year appointment, the three of Shenhuan have nothing to do for the time being, so it is better to go to the Demon Song Forest earlier and wait for the news from Gardenia's side.
I don't know who of the three slowed down first, and this way, it was like playing in the mountains and rivers.
Once upon a time, they were like this, day and night, never abandoned. After a life-and-death parting, this once most familiar companionship has become a tacit enjoyment for the three of them.
Life is very happy to know that I have walked side by side all the way, through thick and thin.
Xiazhou was the only way to go to the Demon Song Forest, and standing in front of a pile of wild rocks, Shenhuan suddenly sighed and showed a sunny smile again.
"Shen Huan...... You'd better put away your weird expression. Zhuo Qing made a frightened look, "Otherwise, I will reconsider whether to set up a biography for you." ”
"This was once the site of the Nine Battles of the Martyrs. Shenhuan looked at the pile of rocks in front of him and said softly. This pile of rocks is the same ring that was destroyed by the last move of the Flame Majesty. Here, for the first time, Shenhuan felt that the power of human beings could be connected to heaven and earth, and he also took this opportunity to break through to the heavenly level.
"That's right here! It was Tu Lie who spoke, and there was nothing unusual in his mouth, but there was a sour taste in his words.
Shen Huan had already told them about the Nine Decisions of Liezhang, of course, this was largely to satisfy Zhuo Qing's "curiosity and desire to explore as a storyteller".
Tu Lie had complained several times that he had missed such an opportunity to beat people to his heart's content, but now when he arrived at the location of Liezhang's Nine Decisions, his mouth suddenly became strong.
"Sit here for a while. Zhuo Qing was a little tired from walking, so he chose a stone that looked fairly smooth and sat up, "Shenhuan, are you breaking through the Heavenly Steps here?" By the way, why don't you talk about the law? You can't hide it anymore, it's about my breakthrough." It's a big deal! It's a serious matter!"
"Why are you so active all of a sudden?" Shen Huan said.
Zhuo Qing used to be the least interested in cultivation, and for him, strength was barely enough to defend himself. His dream is to travel to every corner of the Divine Apocalypse Continent, write the most wonderful stories in the whole world, and become the best storyteller in the Divine Apocalypse Continent, rather than pursuing the pinnacle of power and invincibility in the world.
"I've always been smarter than you, and that's the first thing you have to understand. Secondly, I asked about this because I felt that I was really insecure if I didn't improve my ability to protect myself with two violent people every day. ”
"Huh. Shenhuan chuckled, "Okay, let's talk about it......"
Tu Lie yawned boredly, carried his giant hammer, and said, "I'm still early to break through, let's talk first, I'll go around to find out if there is any prey." ”
After speaking, Tu Lie carried the giant hammer and flew away in the sky.
With the improvement of Tu Lie's strength, the range of his search for prey has expanded from a few miles to dozens of miles.
Just pity the hapless beasts and wild beasts. It's unlucky enough to face the hunter, and what's even more unlucky is that this hunter has a mountain-like body, and the most unlucky thing is that this "mountain" can still fly!
When Tu Lie came back, he was carrying a bundle of firewood on his left shoulder and a Xuanjie beast whose head had been shattered by his hammer on his right shoulder, with a smug smile on his face.
Peeling, bloodletting, firemaking, brackets, barbecue, and food sharing...... Familiar and natural flow and movement......
Shenhuan and Zhuo Qing took the barbecue, but before they took the first bite, they invariably had a small pause.
When was the last time they ate barbecue like this? It was like yesterday, but it was like a world away......
As for Tu Lie, who had a heartless smile on his face, only he knew what he was thinking in his heart......
The peaceful and pleasant journey was always short-lived, and even though the three of them had deliberately slowed down, the Demon Song Forest quickly appeared in their field of vision.
The three of Shenhuan thought that they would have to wait a while longer to see Gardenia when they arrived at the Demon Song Forest, but they didn't expect that Gardenia was already waiting for them in the Demon Song Forest.
Gardenia's face is very bad, like a white flower yellowed by lack of water, beautiful but pitiful and distressing.
"What's wrong?Is there any trouble on the new demon king's side?" Seeing Gardenia's appearance, Shenhuan suddenly felt a pain in his heart for some reason, and his tone became softer than ever.
Shenhuan's gentle tone made Zhuo Qing and Tu Lie look at Shenhuan at the same time with a ghostly expression.
"No, it's going very well on the new Demon King's side. Gardenia's voice was a little hoarse, as if she had just cried.
"Then ...... you" Shen Huan didn't know how to ask, and his gaze wandered a little.
Zhuo Qing, who had recovered from the shock, saw Shenhuan's performance, suddenly realized, and secretly laughed on the side. Tu Lie didn't know what Zhuo Qing was laughing at, so he leaned over and asked quietly. Zhuo Qing just shook his head and refused to speak, so angry that Tu Lie jumped aside and began to calculate how much salt to put in Zhuo Qing's share for today's dinner.
The atmosphere between Shinhwan and Gardenia was a little awkwardly silent, and the shadows of the trees in the Demon Song Forest unconsciously changed direction.
When the shade of the tree blocked the sunlight above Gardenia's head, Gardenia finally spoke first: "Last time...... 'Demon Forbidden', 'Demon Worm' and the palace guards were all wiped out, and half of the ordinary demon clans in the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons died......"
Shenhuan is not a fool, and when Gardenia Yan said this, he understood the reason why Gardenia was in a low mood.
"I'm sorry......" Shenhuan felt that he should apologize, after all, Jiufeng was led to the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons by himself.
"Half of the ordinary people in the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons are dead, which is even greater than the price of the demon clan waging a war. These days, I've been wondering if I'm wrong. Agree to kill the demon king with that plan, causing such a huge disaster, am I a sinner of the demon clan......" Gardenia's voice gradually became higher and lower, with a cry that could not be concealed.
"You're not. Shenhuan didn't know how to comfort Gardenia, and after thinking for a long time, he squeezed out a sentence, "Your intentions are good." ”
"yes...... I originally wanted the demon clan to be peaceful and to keep the fruits of so many years of recuperation...... I didn't expect ...... I didn't expect ...... You told me that the man was a strong man, but you didn't tell me that he was a murderous, cruel, inhuman executioner! He didn't spare even ordinary people...... Even the little ones don't spare ......."
Speaking of this, Gardenia couldn't help but lie on the trunk of the tree next to her and cry. She recalled the apocalyptic scene she had seen when she returned to the Valley of the Ten Thousand Demons that day! The mountain wall in the first half of the Valley of the Ten Thousand Demons had completely collapsed, and among the collapsed rocks was a mountain of corpses that had extinguished hope!
From the revered demon to the infant baby, there are traces of thunder and lightning on their bodies, hanging on the blade-like stones like rag fragments, as if crying about the disasters and blood and tears of the demon clan.
During this time, the originally strong Gardenia spent almost every day in tears. She didn't even dare to sleep, because as soon as she lay down, there would be a lot of figures in her mind that she knew or didn't know, accusing her of bringing this huge disaster to the demon clan, asking her to pay the price for this mountain of corpses and blood, and be scolded by the demon clan forever!
Shenhuan didn't know how to comfort Gardenia, so he could only stay by his side silently. Zhuo Qing and Tu Lie also put away their smiles and stood not far away without saying a word.
The sun is sinking in the west, and the red glow is reflecting the sky......
"You go, I don't know what attitude to face you, I don't know what position to face you. We...... Say goodbye. ”
The sound of heartbreak, I don't know whose heart is broken......
Shen Huan silently turned around and left silently. Shen Huan never knew that his steps could be so heavy, so heavy that every step he took made his heart ache......
After walking a hundred steps, Shen Huan suddenly stopped, tilted his head slightly, and said softly in the same hoarse voice as usual: "The 'Demon Worm' and 'Demon Forbidden' who are still active in the Twenty-Four Prefectures of Divine Apocalypse will return sooner or later...... You need to be prepared...... Will be ...... later Indefinite ......"
