In the endless grassland wilderness, a magnificent carriage pulled by two eight-legged horses galloped by.

The eight-legged horse, as the name suggests, is a horse with eight legs, belonging to the monster, far beyond ordinary horses, it is a monster with strong load capacity, fast running speed and extraordinary staying power, and it is also very precious, and generally only princes and nobles can barely use it.

In the gorgeous carriage, Murong Yuan and the other three sat in one of the carriages, although the inside of the carriage was not large, it was not crowded at all.

The carriage and the eight-legged horse were obtained by them from the members of the demon hunting group who hunted down Alina Shiran, and the status of the demon hunting group in the human kingdom was also evident from this.

Alina Shirlan pointed to a map of Zhongzhou spread out among the three of them, and began to say-

"This is the wasteland in the south of Zhongzhou, after passing through the Fagong Forest to the north, you will reach the southern border of the human kingdom, the demon hunting group stationed there needs to be on guard, and further east, through the Flame Demon Valley, you will reach the ruins of the ancient blood clan. ”

"...... of the Valley of the Flame Demons"

Murong Qingyun folded his hands slightly around his chest, leaned on the side of the carriage, and said coldly-

“...... If I'm not mistaken, there is a thousand-year-old demon entrenched in the Valley of the Flame Demon, and the name of the Valley of the Flame Demon comes from this, why did you choose such a path?"

Alina Xuelan was a little embarrassed by Murong Qingyun's questioning, but she still maintained the arrogance of a viscount-level blood clan.

"This is the closest way to the ruins of the Ancient Blood Clan......"

"But a single fire demon can wipe you and me up!"

......

Murong Qingyun was obviously dissatisfied with Alina Xuelan's very perfunctory explanation, and the two beautiful women were-for-tat for a while, but they both looked at Murong Yuan who was sitting on the main seat at the same time.

Murong Yuan was originally thinking about what Aliana Xuelan had said to him before - he could use the "Blood Clan Intermediate Magic: Blood Blade" to conjure the weapon in his hand.

Now that it suddenly became the focus of the two of them's attention, Murong Yuan came back to his senses, looked at Alina Xuelan on the side, and said lightly.

"Alina Shirlan, I will refer to your point of view, but I still hope that you can tell us the real reason......"

Alina Xuelan suddenly felt a little nervous, she knew that the cold and handsome man in front of her was the only one qualified to make this decision.

"Lord Murong, I hope you can believe me, this path is necessary, and the Fire Demon has been sleeping for decades......"

"Then we can also take a detour to the human kingdom or the eastern orc's territory 'Mordor', both of which are much safer than the fire demons who may awaken......"

Murong Qingyun's cold questioning made Alina Xuelan's face turn a little pale for a while, and she said with difficulty-

"Because...... Because ......"

"Forget it. ”

A cold male voice interrupted Alina Xuelan's words, and at the same time helped her out.

"Since Miss Xue Lan is so confident that the fire demon will not wake up, then we will go with her, and besides, this is also our duty to escort Miss Xue Lan......"

"Abyss ......"

Murong Qingyun frowned slightly, obviously wanting to say something about Murong Yuan's hasty decision, but in the end he didn't say anything.

"Thank you Lord Murong for your understanding, please believe that this must be the best path. ”

Murong Yuan chuckled lightly and didn't respond too much to Alina Xuelan's words.

And Murong Qingyun, opposite Alina Xuelan, had a somewhat ugly face, but under his almost perfect facial features, it was not disgusting.

Alina Shirlan slowly sat back in her place, but her face became paler.

"Miss Xuelan, what's wrong with you?"

"No, it's okay......"

Before she finished speaking, Alina Xuelan suddenly fainted, and Murong Yuan was about to move, but Murong Qingyun opposite him took the first step and hugged Alina Xuelan, who was about to fall.

Murong Qingyun glanced at Murong Yuan, tilted his head and smiled evilly, and there was an inexplicable sense of joy, "The wound on her waist and abdomen has not healed......"

"It's a demon hunter?"

Murong Qingyun shook his head after listening to Murong Yuan's question, and slightly lifted the torn clothes on Alina Xuelan's body, there was no trace of blood under the clothes, only a strange scarlet magic circle.

"It's blood magic. ”

Murong Yuan said lightly, and glanced at Murong Qingyun, but they had already guessed most of them.

--------------------

In the evening, the ornate carriage stops on the side of the roadside in the wasteland.

Murong Yuan and Murong Qingyun had already set up a simple camp, thanks to the items of the members of the Demon Hunting Group.

By the campfire, on top of the soft cloth cushion, Alina Shirlan had changed into clean clothes, a Bloodline uniform embroidered with a golden lion's head.

(This kind of clothing can be exchanged in the main god space, and it is cheap.) ）

"You're awake. ”

Alina Xuelan had already opened her eyes, glanced around in a daze, and then stopped at Murong Yuan, who was barbecuing something around the bonfire.

"My clothes ......"

Alina Xuelan slowly got up and asked Murong Yuan in a low voice, the cloth cushions, tents, and even pillows around her could be seen in the items of the previous demon hunting group, but the clothes on her body were obviously not from the demon hunting group.

"Your original one was too shabby, so I put Qingyun's clothes on you......"

Murong Yuan was still fiddling with the barbecue that seemed to be fish in his hand, and answered Alina Xuelan's question coldly.

"No, I want to ask...... Who got me ......?"

Murong Yuan took the right hand of the barbecue, chuckled, and then said-

"Don't worry, Qingyun changed it for you. She was reluctant at first, but when I decided to replace you myself, she took the initiative to snatch you away......"

Alina Xuelan, who was sitting on the cloth cushion, hugged the pillow beside her, and when she listened to Murong Yuan's speech, she saw Murong Yuan's expression when he chuckled, and she was more sure that these two were definitely not an ordinary master-servant relationship, but a more intimate ...... A relationship.

For some reason, Alina Shirlan was a little jealous.

She also wanted to have such a partner who could help each other, trust each other in life and death, or, not just partners.

"The magic circle on your waist is 'Blood Clan High-level Magic: Curse', the caster's ability is far above mine, and I can't help you unlock it, so I can only temporarily use some restrained spells to help you suppress the erosion of the curse circle......"

Murong Yuan finished speaking, and Alina Xuelan lifted the clothes on her waist slightly, and saw the scarlet magic circle clearly, the color at this moment was far less dazzling than before.

"Thank you......"

Aliana Shirlan just whispered this sentence and stopped talking, hugging the pillow beside her like a little princess, not trying to explain the meaning of the origin of the circle.

And Murong Yuan didn't ask, and the two maintained a strange tranquility like this.
