It snowed heavily on the day of departure, as heavy as the snow that Jiuyou saw after opening the door on the first day.

In the midst of the snowflakes flying in the sky, Jiuyou wore a thick cotton jacket and a cloak large enough to wrap his body. This alone is naturally not enough, because she doesn't even know how to go to the Demon Realm.

Fortunately, after the housekeeper knew that she was going to find the general, he didn't say anything else, but just gave her a spirit horse.

He said that the spirit horse recognizes the Lord and the way, and understands human nature, it knows that Jiuyou wants to find Shen Yuan, and will definitely bring her to Shen Yuan as she wishes.

The spirit horse galloped in the snow, and the sound of the horse's hooves continued for three days. When Jiuyou finally saw the battlefield, the spirit horse stopped running and turned to the camp where Shen Yuan was stationed.

The camp was empty, but there was a shout in the distance, which was not what Jiuyou had imagined.

Because if Shen Yuan is in danger, as the commander-in-chief, without his orders, how can his subordinates go on the field to kill the enemy?

I heard that he led a heavenly soldier with rich experience in demon slaying this time, and most of the elites were cultivated by himself, so naturally he would come first in everything.

The spirit horse carried Jiuyou, followed the sound to the battlefield filled with gunpowder, only to see the heavenly soldiers firing bows and arrows in mid-air, and the minions of the demon world fought and retreated, relying on the natural concave terrain, while blocking the aerial attacks of the heavenly soldiers, while looking for opportunities to fight back.

Jiuyou found a narrow cave on top of the rugged barren mountain of the Demon Realm, and poked his head out of it to find the figure of Shen Yuan.

After observing for a long time, Jiuyou realized that at this stage, both sides were consuming each other's physical strength, and the main general did not show up.

The heavenly soldiers occupy a natural advantage, taking turns to attack, taking turns to rest, only to hear the screams of the demon minions in the pit.

Shouldn't it be like this on both sides every day? If it continues, the demon world will be defeated, and the demon king won't die obediently, right?

Sure enough, not long after Jiuyou's idea came to him, the legendary demon king finally appeared.

The effect of the boss when he appeared was really different, the original minions were dead, wounded, and when the demon king appeared, he stepped on the heads of almost all the minions, and a raging fire ignited around his body, causing the minions to cry bitterly.

So is this the devil? Draw on the strength of others to improve yourself? Even if it's your own people who are sacrificed, you don't care?

The Demon King has intricate coral-patterned horns, a beard on his face, and a long fishtail behind him. It's not so much an ethereal monster as it is a spirit that represents all evil and ominous.

Jiuyou suddenly realized why the mountains in the demon world were all bare, without any life, presumably because they were restrained by the demon king, and the useful spiritual power would be sucked clean by the demon king.

Therefore, being a soldier of the demon world is equivalent to being cannon fodder: on the one hand, it delays time for the demon king to absorb power, plays the role of a meat shield, and consumes the enemy; On the one hand, it is to feed and strengthen the demon king with life, and gather the power of all the little monsters in the demon king to fight against strong enemies.

With the appearance of the Demon King, the formation of the Heavenly Soldiers has also changed. After the heavenly soldiers lined up in two neat columns, Shen Yuan finally appeared.

He was reclining on top of the white clouds, looking quite improper. Resting on the real Shen Yuan, Jiuyou really couldn't imagine Shen Yuan making such a ...... Voluptuous action.

I don't know why Shen Yuan was arranged like this in the fantasy world, making him so cynical. Jiuyou didn't believe that this was Shen Yuan's nature, and always felt that Shen Yuan was dutiful and was completing the script given to him by the mysterious power.

How subversive is this role? even let Shen Yuan eat grapes leisurely after the enemy boss appeared. When the afterglow was approaching the Demon King, he didn't give any reaction.

He was really hurt. Jiuyou judged.

Because what Shen Yuan eats is not ordinary grapes, it is a fairy fruit used to stop bleeding. When she was in the General's Mansion, Jiuyou had seen him reward the immortal fruit to a seriously injured general, and when she saw the general again, the general, who looked like he was about to die, was already alive.

Shen Yuan patiently explained to her that grapes are the most effective for stopping bleeding and treating external injuries, which is comparable to the art of resurrecting the dead. That day she had a ginkgo leaf on her cheek, and he kissed her on the top of her mouth and fed her one.

The tiny wound was not worthy of such an elixir, and it suddenly disappeared without a trace. And she was so ashamed and angry that she actually made a move.

- was given a sweet fruit, but took the initiative to beat the person who sent the fruit.

But the abyss in Jiuyou's eyes right now should not only be externally injured, maybe the internal injuries are more serious. And he did this because he wanted to frustrate the Demon King's spirit and delay the Demon King's offensive. If it weren't for the appearance of the Demon King, he probably wouldn't have come to the front of the people, but would have rested in the rear.

The demon king was really frightened by him, and stopped in mid-air for a while, but did not speak.

Shen Yuan threw another grape into his mouth and stood up against the gaze of the Demon King's nest. He was still wearing a red-on-background gold-patterned shirt, but he had changed into a more capable waist-sleeved military uniform, and his actions did not look unusual, without hesitation.

Jiuyou thought that the words he asked the carrier pigeon to pass were "don't read", that is, he was on the battlefield with the idea that he might not be able to go back.

He didn't think about her when he made this decision, and only informed her of the result, but didn't ask if she agreed.

Is it in his eyes that she is a weak little girl who can't take care of herself, no matter what happens, even if she tells her, it's useless?

Jiuyou's gaze was firmly locked on Shen Yuan, and after a moment, she thought that she had guessed the mysterious man's intentions.

First of all, this illusion is a projection of her own mind.

She crossed over and became a five-year-old girl, constrained by a shell that was too weak, and she could hardly do without people around her, otherwise she would be in danger at any time.

Therefore, her heart is desperate to grow up, to become stronger, to protect herself, to protect Shen Yuan, including to change the fate of other senior brothers.

The senior brothers are more mature than her, and they look like they have a body that has been ten years longer, but they are far less mature than her heart.

The sense of separation between the mind and the body made her change back to what she wanted to be in her subconscious, before the crossing.

Then, there is the abyss that also wants to grow up.

Jin Cheng is the senior brother, Shen Yuan is the third senior brother, skipping the gloomy and indistinguishable second senior brother Songbai, the Netherworld Jun assigned Shen Yuan, as the backbone of Jin Cheng's absence, it is precisely because he values his excellence and intends to cultivate him.

Shen Yuan's edge can't be hidden, and even Su Wujun, who has not dealt with him a few times, is most impressed by him.

Putting aside the instinctive reaction of the two gods who knew people because of their age, Shen Yuan stood out among the elves of the Five Elements Sect and the Moon Sect in all aspects.

In the end, the mysterious man, like Nuwa created a man, gave Shen Yuan the characteristics of a god of war and a good and evil person. Let Shen Yuan, who grew up, become an invincible general who slays demons and destroys demons, but also makes him so arrogant that he will never surrender and beg for mercy even if he fights bloodily, but makes the enemy afraid to provoke easily.

As for why she can't speak, if it's not the evil taste of the mysterious person, then Shen Yuan sometimes thinks she talks too much?

Why did you often praise him for his good voice that day? It doesn't make sense.

Let's settle this account with him when we get back.

Jiuyu put the cloak on his head and grabbed a handful of gold dust fireflies.

Before entering the illusion, Jiuyou received a hint that the gold dust firefly could take her to stealth once, wouldn't the opportunity to use it come now?

She followed the prompt, grabbed a handful of gold dust fireflies as fine as grains of sand, and gently blew them away.

***

"Shen Yuan, don't underestimate the deity too much, and don't be too rampant. Don't look at the spirits of my demon realm who are either dead or injured, do you believe it or not, with the power of the deity alone, you can lose convincingly? ”

Shen Yuan discovered her existence as early as when Jiuyou probe observed the Demon King. At that time, he just threw the grapes and ate the hand for a pause, and the time was negligible.

He looked away and felt his body recover. After hearing the demon king say a lot of nonsense, he couldn't help it, sneered, and with one hand behind his back, he suddenly condensed his spiritual power with one hand, and struck a full blow at the demon king.

The Demon King couldn't dodge, and his body filled with demonic fire became even hotter, and then his body gradually froze into ice, but because it was naturally hot, the freezing speed was slow to start from frost and then to ice edges.

In the process, the demon king was still shouting: "Shameless people, actually engaged in a sneak attack? ”

Shen Yuan touched his ears carelessly, and said boringly, "It's just your usual trick to give it back to you." Why, you can't do it, others can't do it? ”

There was a silver bell-like laughter beside him, Shen Yuan couldn't hold back, bent the corners of his mouth, and then quickly retracted.

The demon king didn't believe that he had not yet made a move, and he was imprisoned to death, so he struggled with his words first, "You let go of the deity and let the deity have a good fight with you." ”

Shen Yuan's patience with him had run out, and he said bluntly, "Do you really think that my heavenly soldiers are forcing you to come out to fight?" No, I'm forcing you to come out and die! ”

Shen Yuan jumped off the white cloud and came to the ground, and as the frost on his body became more and more, the demon king could no longer move.

"Attack me, seriously injure me, mutilate my men, and try to fight me fairly? Have you forgotten that water is destined to overcome fire, and you actually want to subvert the way of heaven? ”

Shen Yuan made a pun, stretched out his arm, and the sword covered in blue light appeared in his palm.

He stabbed the demon king with all his might, and the demon king tried to break free, but the more he moved, the faster he froze, and he took the sword without fighting back.

A wail of grief echoed among the barren mountains, and Shen Yuan withdrew his sword and turned back to the clouds.

"Back to camp!" He shouted.

"Yes!" The heavenly soldiers replied neatly.

***

On the way back, the Heavenly Soldiers more or less noticed the unusual thing about their manager.

For example, he suddenly pulled out a spirit horse out of nowhere, and after getting on the horse, he said to the air, "Sit tight";

For example, when he rode a horse to the front, he would occasionally look back and smile, and he could see people's hearts fluttering, but he found that there seemed to be no one in his eyes;

Another example is that when he came to the general's mansion, after dismounting, he refused to be greeted by the butler and the spiritual servant, stretched out a hand alone to hold the air next to him, and entered his room.

Shen Yuan looked at Jiuyou, whose figure gradually appeared after the gold dust firefly left, and suddenly became playful, and reached out to pinch her cheek.

Meaty, it feels good.

"Say it." The tip of Shen Yuan's nose almost touched the tip of Jiuyou's nose, and his breath was intertwined, "Just now on the clouds, why did you suddenly touch my ears?" ”
