In December of the 568th year of the Altino calendar, the Demon Realm terminated the mountain

With a long sword on his shoulder, he swaggered, and came out of the other side of the canyon with a human, although Niel knew that his human appearance was just a disguise, and he was actually a demon, but she still didn't expect to meet him here.

"You...... Why did you come to the Demon Realm, you who want money to die?"

"The demons return to the demon realm, the migratory birds return, the right place, what's so strange?"

Han Te said: "You long-legged girl is weird, why did you run to the demon world for some reason? There is also this stinky bat next to you, what? You dumped that dead shemale and decided to start playing the true colors of the demon queen?"

When Niel saw Hante, she was puzzled. After the battle of Jerusalem, there was no news about this person, and when the battle in Shangri-La was at its most intense, he had not heard from him, and he had guessed whether this working hunter had helped a certain force take over some secret mission, so he did not show his face, but he did not expect him to come to the demon world first.

Han Te smiled and didn't speak, but he was really nervous in his heart, and he didn't dare to relax the hand holding the Thunder Sword. Just now he explored out of the valley and met Niel and Chires, this surprise is not trivial, Nier is just a wild girl, Chirez is not something that will make people happy to reunite, maybe it is another fight, but looking at these two people are not like peers, hijacking is not like hijacking, it is really strange, people can't figure out why they are together.

The three of them looked at each other, the atmosphere was indescribably weird, and in the end, it was Niel who broke the silence first, trying to control the situation, lest the depressed Chireth turn to anger and everyone started fighting. Nier asked why Hante returned to the Demon Realm, because with his phoenix personality, if there was no sky-high reward, he would never leave the human realm with the most money-making channels and return to the deserted Demon Realm.

There is nothing to hide this, Han Te shrugged his shoulders, and honestly said that he was commissioned by Hai Jiaxuan to come to the Demon Realm to investigate the information, because even the intelligence network of the Qinglou Alliance could not operate effectively in the Demon Realm, and as a result, he still had to rely on a powerful Heavenly Rank Martial Artist to infiltrate the Demon Realm to investigate.

Han Te's face was pale, but he spoke as if he was sighing, "The situation is really unexpected, after I came back this time, I found that the political situation in the demon world has changed, I sneaked into the demon king's capital four times to investigate, and almost fell into the predicament of round-up, and found out a lot of important information, saying it will definitely scare you to death." ”

"What is this great information? We've only been here for a long time, and a lot of things are not clear, can you tell us?"

"What are you kidding? Intelligence is money, and what I bought with my life and death, can I tell you casually?"

With Hante's personality, this is a fairly standard answer, but the two creatures opposite him, especially the guy with black batwings, are not jokes, and are more accustomed to using destruction and killing to solve problems, so Hante can only choose to compromise and ask Nier to pass this information to the Qinglou Alliance first when she leaves the Demon Realm, and the Qinglou Alliance will pay for the investigation.

"First of all, I found out that the reason why the Qinglou Alliance is difficult to stretch in the Demon Realm is all because someone has made a hindrance and cut off the transmission of information, do you know who that person is? It's Shi Chong's big traitor dog!"

Han Te looked cautious, and said with a little shock: "I really can't imagine that this guy turned out to be a demon race, and he deliberately lurked in the human world, confusing the stupid emperor of Elttenor, and waiting for an opportunity to cause turmoil, you must not have imagined this!"

The secret that should be earth-shattering, Hunter himself was startled when he found out about it, but at this time, Niel and Chires, you look at me, I look at you, and then looked at Hunter with an expressionless face.

"What is the secret? About half a month ago, Xiao Hai and Xiao Wu had already speculated, and they also talked to Dolgon, and Dolgon also personally admitted that Shi Chong was a demon, and now maybe half of the Wind Continent knows about it. ”

"What, what? Do you know that Shi Chong has another identity, that is, one of the three leaders of the Chiba family in the Wind Continent, although the main forces are in the demon realm, but there are also many subordinates in the human realm, if you don't take precautions against this, Shangri-La is likely to be caught off guard by him, and it will be too late to regret it at that time. ”

"But...... Shangri-La has been caught off guard by him, the whole city has been taken by him, and he has become the new mayor, and even my godsister has been forced to open the magic house and run away, and it is too late to beware. ”

"How so?"

Hante, who was about to tell the shocking secret and startle the two of them, was surprised by himself. In fact, when Shi Chong took Shangri-La, he was in Jerusalem and should have known about it, but he accepted Hai Jiaxuan's entrustment and escorted Wang Wu and Wang Youjun back to their hometown for recuperation, and he never had contact with anyone along the way, and after arriving at Wulian, he directly passed through the realm tunnel and came to the demon world.

"However, you don't have to worry, before we came to the Demon Realm, Shi Chong had already been beaten away, and now that Shangri-La is back in the hands of the Qinglou Alliance, the godsister should also return to power. ”

Nier's words made Han Te feel a lot more at ease, he has a lot of relationship with the Qinglou Alliance, and many of them are his friends, especially the lady, who has been very kind to him repeatedly, and now hearing that she is safe and sound, Han Te's heart suddenly put down a big stone, but he also feels very shameless, and the information he tells can't scare people, which is really out of his identity as a professional intelligence officer.

"That's not all there was just now, and there's another piece of information that I'll give away for free, and it will scare you to pee your pants when you say it. ”

In order to show caution, Han Te first looked left and right, and after confirming that there were no idle people waiting, he spoke in a low voice.

"I ventured to find out that the Great Demon God King Yinzhen had ended his two thousand years of healing and sleep, and woke up in the Demon Palace, ready to make moves against the human world, and may even have secretly arrived at the human world. ”

It was supposed to be a big secret, but when Niel heard it, she looked at Chirez and found that he had a strange expression of disdain, which was exactly the same as when she asked him where the mysterious and powerful black shadow was when she was in Huaguo Mountain. Now I finally know what the origin of that black shadow is, it turns out to be Chirez and his old son, I heard that their father and son have been looking at each other for two thousand years, and they are very familiar, how can there be a reason that they can't recognize?

"You...... Why didn't you react at all? Were you scared silly? Or ...... No way! You can't already know the information that I have worked so hard to find out!"

"But I just know! Not only do I know, but I also touched him in Wulian, and I also fought him, and His Royal Highness the Prince next to me is a witness...... Hmm, the Great Demon God King is indeed very strong......"

Halfway through Nier's words, he heard a "dang long", and the thunder sword in Hante's hand fell to the ground, and his whole body swayed as if he had been pulled out of his bones, and finally sat down.

“...... It's unreasonable...... It's unreasonable...... I worked hard to make money, thinking that only the goods had to be kept fresh, and who knew that even the information had to be kept fresh...... If you know it earlier, you won't be greedy, and if you find one and send one first, it won't be all outdated information......"

When Nier saw Hante's appearance, she was helpless and funny, and wanted to comfort him, but she didn't know where to start, so she had to pat him on the shoulder and be silent.

The valley was quiet again, and Hunter sat in silence, and Chireth sat down in a corner, far away from the two of them, not knowing what they were thinking, and Niel had nothing to do, and the two male demons ignored her, and after standing for a while, she began to burrow holes in the ground with her bare hands, preparing to collect the bones of the tragic death in the valley.

Up close, it was a very tragic sight, and Niel noticed that each corpse was killed in a fierce resistance battle, and then nailed to the stone wall by weapons such as spears and steel forks, as if demonstrating to those who came after them.

Niel had seen many scenes of slaughter in the past, which were not uncommon on the battlefield, but what made her feel thrilled was that these corpses had long since been dried, each of them was skinny and skinny, not after death, but before death.

It is not difficult to imagine that under the long-term absolute blockade outside, the residents here have not been able to eat for a long time, even the strong vitality of the demon race, they are hungry and skinny, if they come earlier, enter this termination mountain abandoned by the world, and see the residents who are hungry to the bone, they must think that they have entered the Yama Ghost Prison.

But even after suffering like this, these people never gave up, and even fought against the demon army with such a thin body, and finally all of them were wiped out. From such an act, Niel felt a kind of resoluteness that could not be taken lightly, and made her pay tribute to these demon compatriots from the bottom of her heart.

(Do they want to wait for something in this valley if they hold on to their ideals?)

When burying these bones, Niel thought about these questions, maybe these people wanted to inherit the faith of the past lord, maybe they wanted to shout to the world that what Temujin did was not wrong, even if the demon regime declared that he was a sinner, there would still be a group of people who would support him without hesitation, or perhaps, these people were waiting for an heir to appear, believing that the person who inherited the lord's bloodline would eventually come here......

These speculations were irrational and unfounded, but when Niel summoned her strength and pushed the sand to bury the pit and bury all the bodies in the loess, a tear unconsciously slipped down her face and fell to the cold earth.

“...... Sorry I'm late......"

※※※

In the following time, the three people in the empty valley faced a rather awkward silence, and in the seemingly dull atmosphere, some kind of strange spark faintly flowed.

Niel wasn't stupid enough to see the problem with the spark. Hunter and Chireth came to Termination Mountain one after another, it could not be to hang the dead, especially since Chireth did not know that Termination Mountain had been wiped out, and would be willing to take the risk and bring himself here, there must be some purpose, and this purpose will not be stopped because the local residents are dead, and it must still exist somewhere in the valley.

Chireth wants to hunt for treasure, and Hunter is also here to hunt for treasure, these two people not only have a conflict of interest, but most of them are also thinking about how to eliminate their opponents and kill people. If it really starts, the number of wins and losses is too obvious, and Chirez is now silent, most likely just thinking about how to make a surprise attack and kill the competitors; But the overall situation doesn't seem to be good for the guy who wants money, and I should still help him.

Nelle coughed lightly, patted the dust off her body, stood up, and walked over to Chirez and sat down. Even if there is a beast next to him, as long as he abides by some rules when getting along, he can be safe, and after walking for several days in a row, Niel has more or less grasped these rules, and after sitting down without a trace, she began to talk to herself.

"Hey, murderer, is the person who exterminated the Termination Mountain your father, the Great Demon God King of this generation?"

"Humph!"

Chireth didn't look at Nil, just snorted coldly. From this reaction, Nier saw something somewhat, there must have been something in his words that stimulated him, the most likely was the word his father, I heard that the two fathers and sons did not get along, Lao Tzu beat his son to a serious injury, sealed the power, and caused Chireth to flee to the human world, this relationship is really bad.

"My father is the last Great Demon God King, right?"

"Hmm. ”

It was none of his business, Chirez replied quickly, his expression still extremely cold, and instead of looking at Niel, his eyes moved to Hante, who was a hundred feet away.

"I've read records before, the previous Great Demon God King Temujin, and the current Demon King Yinzhen, the two of them seem to be brothers, I don't know why it became like this later. ”

Nill shook her head and said, "But if that's the case, you and I are cousins, aren't we?"

The sudden sentence was like a cold arrow shooting straight at Chires, he had known Nier's identity, but he had never thought about it from this perspective in the past, and at this time he was woken up by Nier's words, and couldn't help but stay on the spot, looking at Nier back and forth a few times, with a strange expression as if he had seen some vicious monster.

Niel thought it was funny, because if Chireth really saw some vicious monster, he would not have such an expression, and he must have pounced on it immediately and slaughtered it. However, he will be influenced by himself, which means that there is still a gap in his emotional level.

"Hahaha, I really can't imagine that the two of us are related! In this way, Xiao Xiangxiang and I are also relatives, because she also calls you cousin!"

The world is changing, and there is nothing more ridiculous than Si, and even Nile herself finds it ironic. It's just that I just wanted to come over and talk to him, play a role in procrastination and diversion, and now the surprise attack is successful, what should I do next?

"By the way, there's one thing I want to ask you, you should know about it, right? I have a father and a mother, and I never knew who my mother was, can you tell me about her?"

"What's there to say? Your mother is long dead. ”

“...... So, how did you die?"

"I killed you!"

Nile was shocked when she heard this, and she was stunned, thinking that Chirez was casually mocking herself, but at this time, Chirez turned her head, and the fierce light flashed in her eyes, which made Nier's heart sink straight down, according to her own understanding, when he showed this kind of look, he was definitely not joking.

"Your mother was originally a human concubine in the Demon Palace, and after the end of the Kyushu War, hundreds of years after the army retreated back to the Demon Realm, she had to eliminate some unwanted people one after another, just like throwing away expired food, she happened to be one of the lists, and she was blown out of the head by my palm and died in a mess...... Well, are you satisfied with this answer?"

Nier was so stunned that she couldn't say a word, and it was hard to think that her biological mother was such an ending, and her mind was a mess. However, it was just a simple shock, no sadness, no anger, and the mood was so calm that even he felt surprised, perhaps because he had never had this person in his memory, and he did not miss and admire her, so even hearing such bad news could not bring him too much emotional fluctuation, but he felt very ridiculous when he looked at Chireth as if he expected him to pounce on revenge.

"You don't have to be so happy, I won't seek revenge on you, and I won't fight you for this reason. However, you seem to like to like to stimulate others to take revenge on you, isn't it tiring to be chased by others all the time, and your life is always running away and chasing, you can't stop, you can't have happy times, because as soon as you stop, the enemy will tear anything you like to pieces...... Is there any meaning to this kind of life?"

"Shut up! What the hell is this going on with you!"

Unable to anticipate such a response, Chires's long-standing expression suddenly disappeared, and he turned into a look of annoyed and angry anger, and immediately turned around, not looking at the woman again.

But Niel didn't intend to let him run away like that, first sighed, and then questioned him behind his back.

"Chires, where's your mother?"

"What is there to say, he died eight hundred years ago. ”

“...... So, how did you die?"

"I killed you!"

The same conversation, the same tone, the same seriousness, and when Niel was sure that Chirez wasn't joking, she was taken aback. This person is really a natural murderer, specializing in killing mothers, how many mothers died at his hands?

"It's funny, the first thing other babies do when they are born is to cry, and the first thing I do when this monster is born is to slaughter my mother, which must be considered a kind of genius......"

Nile was shocked, but Chiresse's words still came, and the voice was very strange, as if she was talking to Niel, and it seemed to be talking to herself, the only thing that was certain was that Nile had never heard such a lifeless voice from Chirez since she had known him.

"After the old man returned to the demon world after being defeated, in addition to healing, he has always wanted to do some great feats to improve the next generation of the demon race, one of the plans is to use external auxiliary technology and magic to strengthen the fetal physique and intelligence from the moment of conception, and the crystallization of these technologies is my monster, the old man used those techniques to 'make' me...... Before I was born, my strength was not weak, and the demonic energy released at the moment of childbirth corroded that woman to the point of no bones......"

"Ahh

Surprised, Nile exclaimed, she had heard such a story before, and had seen similar people, who was the most ordinary ordinary person in the history of the white character family - Bai Qi.

Bai Qi's luck is good, along the way, there has always been Bai Wuji's support behind him, there is spiritual sustenance, and there is a goal to work towards; these things, Chirez is only afraid that he has never had! Although he was born with the power that Bai Qi did not have, he who grew up in the demon world should not be allowed to have weak behavior, he must always show fierceness and strength, and must not let people be disappointed in his strength, otherwise he will be judged as a "bad product", and he will soon be killed.

At this moment, looking at Chirez's back from this angle, it is indeed somewhat similar to Bai Qi, especially the feeling of loneliness and indifference, which is the common characteristic of their kind of inhumans......

This is supposed to be a revolt, and although the means are extremely undesirable, it is indeed a revolt in essence. Fierce resistance to the person who created him, to the world that created him, and to the creator, because he couldn't find the meaning of his existence, he threw this question back to the world, and used these killings to question, why did he create a monster that brought disaster to the human world and the demon world......

Nier is not a psychologist, but the people she usually gets along with are not very few normal people, and as a result, she is fully equipped with the skills to communicate with "psychopaths", plus after knowing her life experience, she is somewhat empathetic, so she sympathizes with Chires.

"Well, this ...... This one...... What should I say......"

Niel tried to say something, but unaware of Chires, who was facing away from her, her expression had changed rapidly.

It's a good thing that Chirez never turned around, because if it weren't for that, Chirez would never have blurted out these "weak" words to Nile because of his agitated mood, which not only had not been said to anyone before, but he had never even thought about it, and a strong personality like him, even if he was scarred, would laugh wildly and face a new challenge, and would never stay in the corner and lick his wounds.

However, when these words were spoken, Chirez quickly regained his senses and realized that he had done something he shouldn't have done. At this time, Nier didn't see his expression, which was a bad thing, because if she saw the murderous eyes in her eyes, she would definitely be on guard, at least a few dozen feet away.

As a result, when Chireth restrained his murderous aura and skillfully operated his Tianxin consciousness, he suddenly turned around and suddenly attacked with a surprise attack, and Nier was pointed out by him before she had time to take precautions, and she fainted unconsciously.

※※※

"Hmm...... Am I alive? Where is this?"

"This is hell, you wicked woman, you have sunk to the bottom of hell. ”

When Niel opened her eyes, she saw that Hinter was standing in front of her with a nervous face, and her expression softened slightly when she saw her sober up.

"Y-you're hurt? How did you get hurt?"

Noticing that the corners of Hante's mouth were bleeding and there were bruises on his face, Nier's first reaction was to ask, but then she realized that her question was too stupid and would be injured here, of course, she was beaten by Chires.

"That guy suddenly knocked you down, and then rushed towards me, he is strong in martial arts, I am not an opponent, I was knocked out after he fell down by his point, and it took time to rush to the point after waking up, and then he came over and kicked you up. ”

"It's really strange, with his hot hands, he only knocked you out a little point, if it was normal, even if he didn't take your life, he would tear off half of your body bones. ”

"yes, I wonder if you just said something to him, and he's much less murderous than usual. ”

Niel didn't want to talk about it, but rushed to ask where Chireth was, and Hunter pointed to the exit on the other side of the valley, where he had come before.

"From there, after a while, you will see the waterfall and the stone wall, don't ask me what happened after that, the entire waterfall flow area is sealed by a powerful barrier, the power is too strong, I can't get close, and I can't see what is inside. ”

Hante's words really surprised Nier, with the destructive power of the heavenly martial artist, he broke it with force, and the ordinary magic seal was completely useless, usually after breaking the enchantment, he destroyed it together with the secrets sealed inside, and then threw the rat bogey, but Hante's statement was obviously not like this, what seal was so powerful that he couldn't get close?

"You must have heard some of the story here before you came to the mountain, right? He probably told you that this place was occupied by Temujin's old subordinates, but did he tell you why Temujin's old subordinates didn't go to other places and came here?"

Nier didn't think about this, take a closer look, the environment here is really bad and bad, to occupy it as a place for the uprising, you can't even find material and geographical advantages here, the only advantage is that the canyon is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but there is no other way out, after being blocked by someone, it will be completely finished like now. Occupying this place to confront the demon army will undoubtedly commit suicide in the long run, why did they do this?

"Sure enough, you don't know. Since 5,000 years ago, this has become a temple where successive Great Demon God Kings have left their own statues, but the real focus is not on those statues, but on the history of the longer past, a secret that only circulated among the royal families of the Demon Realm. ”

Han Te said: "You are practicing the Heavenly Demon Skill, do you know the inheritance history of the Heavenly Demon Skill?"

Nier's Heavenly Demon Skills are all taught by Lancelot, so I also heard Lancelot mention the legend of the Heavenly Demon Skills, and knew that this set of magic skills was created by the first Great Demon God King, who swept the Demon World with his Heavenly Demon Skills, established a dynasty and hegemony, became the co-master of the Demon Clan, and was promoted to a god after his death, that is, the Deep Blue Demon King who commanded all the dark gods in the Wind Continent, and the future Great Demon God King was his descendants.

This saying has been circulated for a long time, and it is common knowledge that every inhabitant of the Demon Realm is born with, and Nier feels that this is somewhat suspicious of using the authority of the gods to consolidate her own dominance, but to this day, this legend is true or false, I am afraid that even the Great Demon God King himself has no way to verify it, but I don't know why Han Te mentioned this.

"According to the information I found out from the Demon King's capital, this is said to be the place where the Deep Blue Demon King lived in retreat for a long time before he evolved into a god, and created the Heavenly Demon Skill. The Great Demon God Kings of all dynasties will come here, on the one hand, send craftsmen to complete the statue, and on the other hand, study martial arts alone in the valley behind, I think there must be some secret of Heavenly Demon Gong hidden in that valley, it may be to make up for some defects of Heavenly Demon Skill, or the secret of breaking through to the next level. ”

"Uh...... Didn't you find nothing, I thought you would only check some outdated information, why didn't you say it before?"

"I found out the information, and I heard that the rebellion in the Termination Mountain has been suppressed, so I immediately rushed here to check, the canyon inside was blocked by the enchantment, and I couldn't find it...... With that next to me, wouldn't I be looking for death on the spot?"

Hante's explanation was correct, and Nier also thought about whether there was anything incomplete in the Heavenly Demon Skill, but the part of her practice was completely dictated by Lancelot, even if there was any problem, she had no way to judge, so she had to give up, shook her head and said: "Chireth must know what is hidden in the enchantment, he has broken through here before, and he may also know how to open the enchantment......"

Speculation doesn't help, so Neil and Hant rush in the direction of the waterfall, and they want to witness whatever the secret of the barrier is.

Niel ran, wondering what might be the answer. If this was really the cultivation place of the Deep Blue Demon King in the past, every knife mark and every palm print might contain the secret of the use of the Heavenly Demon Skill, which was a priceless treasure for the cultivators of the Heavenly Demon Skill, not to mention what text secrets might be left behind, directly pointing out the mystery of the breakthrough of the Heavenly Demon Skill.

Towards the end of the line, the exit of the canyon was in sight, and suddenly there was a loud roar ahead, full of anger, hatred, and despair, like the dying howl of some wounded beast.

"Weird, what's Chireth calling over there?"

Nier and Hunter were surprised, knowing that something must have happened to Chires's side, and the soles of their feet stepped up, and the two of them flew out of the canyon at the same time, seeing the situation outside.

As Hante said before, there is a waterfall outside the canyon, which is flowing slowly, and the waterhole outside the waterfall, where it should have been shrouded by the fog barrier, is now no longer visible, and all the scenery is clear, only that there are no fish and animals, no flowers and plants, just earth, rocks and flowing water.

Chireth was standing in front of the waterhole, looking in one direction without moving, and Niel followed his gaze, only to see that the mountain wall on the other side had a strange image, vaguely carved with handwriting.

...... It would be correct to say that some handwriting was once engraved.

After using her eyes, Niel could see clearly that the reason why the mountain wall over there had a strange image was because it had been cut indiscriminately with a big knife and a giant axe, and now the whole mountain wall was as smooth as a mirror, no matter what handwriting had been left before, she would never want to see it again.
