But what can you do?
The demon stabilized his emotions and began to think seriously about countermeasures.
She knows neither magic nor magic weapons. The only thing that can be relied on is the switch between the human body and the peach body, and the only objects related to the immortal family on the body are the scroll of ink painting given to Luan Er and the Xingyou that turned into an ordinary stone.
Thinking of these two things that she carried with her, the demon had a plan in her mind, but for the sake of safety, she needed to verify what she thought first.
The demon rolled towards the edge of the clearing, the sticky, smelly dirt nagging her. Finally, the demon rolled behind a thick tree, and she re-transformed into a human form.
She picked up a stone from the side of the tree, held it in her hand, and turned it into a peach again.
The stone is still held in the palm of the hand, and the slightly cool touch is like a breeze blowing on the face, which makes the spirit of the demon refreshed.
She reverted back to her human form and ran some distance deeper into the jungle, stomping heavily on the ground with each step, as if she had a deep hatred for the black mud.
The demon ran to the place covered with dry bones and rotten clothes, and turned back into a peach and rolled back behind the big tree.
"Hey, Dasha, I'm here." The demon turned into a human form and jumped out from behind the tree, shouting at the ape in the distance.
The ape climbed up from the body of the human woman, and turned back to see the demon yelling at him next to the giant tree in the distance.
He roared angrily and rushed in the direction of the demon, growing a little taller with each step. The demon flashed and hid behind the giant tree and disappeared.
The ape, which had reverted back to the form of a giant ape, ran to the giant tree where the demon was hiding, but did not find her, only a line of footprints leading to the depths of the jungle.
The ape clenched his fists in anger, and with a single punch broke the ancient tree, which required several people to hug. It let out a roar that turned the sky in turn and strode in the direction of the footprints.
Seeing the huge figure of the ape disappear into the depths of the dense forest, the demon breathed a sigh of relief, at this moment she was only a few dozen steps away from the three scorched trees in the center of the clearing, in order to speed up, she risked turning back into a human form and running quickly to the bottom of the tree.
The human woman lying on the ground had been tortured to the point of being inhuman, and was lying there covered in blood, apparently unable to survive. The demon's heart was sour, and he walked quickly to another dead tree, and the naked human woman's chest rose and fell slightly, although she was still alive, she was already very weak.
It took a lot of effort for the demon to let her down from the tree.
At this time, the roar of the apes was heard in the distance, and the demon thought to himself that he must have chased to the end of the footprints, and was angry that he had lost his whereabouts again.
If so, it will come back soon.
Perhaps because the roar of the ape was too terrifying, the human woman slowly opened her eyes. She bumped into the demon's gaze, her pupils filled with fear.
The demon gently held her hand and said softly, "Don't be afraid, I'm here to save you." ”
The human woman still trembled uncontrollably, the fear in her pupils still frozen, but she nodded slightly.
The demon clenched her hand and turned into a peach once more.
This time, there were no further mistakes. The demon still held the woman's hand tightly and turned into a peach with her.
Such a picture suddenly appeared in the demon's mind, a peach covered in mud, and there was no flesh in the peach skin, but two people were wrapped.
The human woman apparently didn't realize what was happening, and in her eyes, she was like falling into a milky white cocoon, unable to break free and unable to escape.
"You...... You're a demon too...... Monster? She asked in a trembling voice.
The demon just wanted to say yes, but after thinking about it, she shook her head and said, "I'm not a demon, I'm an immortal cultivator of Mengze Sect." ”
The woman nodded tremblingly and said no more.
The demon drove the peach body and rolled towards the depths of the forest. As soon as it rolled to a giant tree, it heard an ape roar, presumably this time, it found that the human woman in the tree had also disappeared.
"What's your name?" The demon tried to communicate with the woman.
"Wang Xiaoyun." The woman replied softly.
"Where do you live, and how did you get caught here?" The demon continued to ask.
Hearing this question, Wang Xiaoyun trembled again, she took a deep breath, and said softly: "My home is in Wangjia Village, a hundred miles away from the main city of Zhongzhou, and I am ...... It was ......"
Wang Xiaoyun's voice gradually became inaudible, and her body trembled even more, as if she had touched some painful memory that could not be looked back.
"It's okay, it's all going to pass." The demon comforted her softly.
After a long silence, Wang Xiaoyun spoke again: "That day, my sister and I went to the woods outside the village to dig wild vegetables, and we never thought about ......."
Wang Xiaoyun suddenly couldn't cry, and kept muttering words like "I killed my sister".
Thinking of the woman who was ravaged to death by an ape, the demon didn't know how to comfort Wang Xiaoyun, so he could only hold her hand tightly, silently drive the peach body, and constantly stay away from this dangerous place.
"I don't know how Pu Jia is doing now, did she escape from the Yunmeng Forest?" Thinking of Pu Jia, the demon couldn't help but be a little worried, but after thinking about it, if he didn't drag him back, it should be easier for him to escape.
"Sister Fairy, you saved me, but I don't know your name yet." Wang Xiaoyun asked in a low voice.
"Demon - Yaozhou Mo Xiaoluan." The demon took a random name.
"Yaozhou?" Wang Xiaoyun was puzzled, "Does Huaxia have this state?" ”
"Yes." The demon nodded seriously, and said solemnly, "Because it is located at the very edge of the Huaxia Continent and is the most distant state in Huaxia, it is called Yaozhou." ”
"That's why the world rarely hears of it." At the end, the demon added another sentence.
"I see." Wang Xiaoyun nodded suspiciously, and continued to ask, "Then why did the immortal sister choose to come to the Mengze Sect in Zhongzhou to practice the immortal method?" ”
"When I was very young, I went out to play with a friend named Pu Jia, and I was caught in the house of the governor of Zhongzhou. Later, the elders of the Mengze Sect came to the state minister's mansion as a guest, and when they saw that I and Pu Jia were very strange, they took us under their door. ”
The demon simply pressed the experience of the Chixia Immortal on himself.
"It would be nice if I could also cultivate immortals." Wang Xiaoyun's tone was full of reverence and envy.
"The Tao is natural, and everything is the Tao; Ten thousand different paths, each in the hearts of the people. ”
Even the demon himself couldn't help but be surprised that this secret sentence actually came from his own mouth.
