Chapter 1: The Demon Star Descends
Legend has it that every thousand years, the world will usher in a demon star descending, and this time the demon star that appears is called gluttony.
The origin of the demon star is a mystery, and no one has solved the mystery for countless years, but one thing is well known, and that is that the demon star will bring a mysterious power, and those who obtain this power will be able to break the millennial equilibrium and tilt the balance of the world.
The appearance of the demon star attracted the covetousness of people, gods, demons, and demons, and the strong people of all races rushed to compete for the demon star when they heard the news.
A small fragment is like a meteor falling, heading straight towards the Youzhou of Hongtianguo.
Youzhou, in the middle of nowhere, in a wooden house—
The woman in the house was giving birth, and the midwife methodically made hot water and walked to the bed.
The woman was the maid of the Qin Mansion, and she was fortunate enough to conceive an illegitimate child by the lord of the mansion.
The pain of childbirth was unimaginable, and the woman bit the wrinkled white cloth towel and let out a heart-rending scream.
Woo whoa –
The first cry came from inside the cabin, and the bastard fell to the ground.
Neither of them in the house could detect a meteorite smashing towards the roof.
The Demon Star Fragment was not an entity, so it did not smash the roof to pieces, but penetrated directly into the house.
There was a burst of red light in the room.
After the red light dissipated, this power possessed the newborn's body, and the midwife did not have time to be surprised, the newborn had become red, and then sucked the woman's blood and gas.
With all her last strength, the woman begged the midwife not to reveal the vision to anyone, she did not want her son to be criticized and said to be a freak who killed his mother.
Her last breath was broken, and her pale hands swung down to the side of the bed, her eyes bloodshot.
Apparently, she died.
But until she died, she was not afraid in her eyes, just looked at the flesh and blood she gave birth to and smiled, her life was difficult and bumpy, maybe death was her relief.
The illegitimate child born by the woman was sent to the Qin Mansion, and the lord of the Qin Mansion accepted the illegitimate child for the sake of the woman's death, but because of the illegitimacy, he could not be surnamed Qin, and could only inherit his mother's surname, surnamed Qiu Mingxiao, Qiu Xiao.
Ten years have passed...
Qiu Xiao, who has reached the age of ten, was arranged as the scholar of Qin Zheng, the eldest son of Qin Zheng, Qin Zheng does not like to read, and wanders around in and out of the city all day long.
Today will be the day that will change Qiu Xiao's fate, and the imprint given by fate will be deeply imprinted in his heart.
Shenshu Ridge, a place where no one dares to set foot in Youzhou, is only entrenched in a thousand-year-old green python demon, but this is already a legend that has been passed down from generation to generation.
Three idle noble young men, led by Qin Zheng, led the young Qiu Xiao to walk the path and quietly touched into the forest of Shenshu Ridge.
"Hey, are you scared?" Qin Zheng, who looked like a hanger, asked his companion beside him.
"You better ask your little henchman, he's a little kid, what are you bringing him for?"
The companion turned his head to look at Qiu Xiao, only to see Qiu Xiao holding a dog's tail grass in his mouth, with a nonchalant expression, this appearance is very similar to Qin Zheng, and he may have a little bit of Qin Zheng's shadow after Qin Zheng all day long.
Qin Zheng put his hands in his pockets, kicked away the toad on the side of the road, and said; "What are you afraid of, we've been gone for so long, how can there be any green python demons, I think it's those adults who bluff children."
Another companion joked; "Hmph, when I really see the big demon, I want to see who was the first to pee his pants." Although he didn't believe in the statement that there were demons in Shenshu Ridge in his heart.
Talking and laughing all the way, the four of them gradually went deep into the Divine Tree Ridge, and the newborn calves were not afraid of tigers, which was very appropriate for them.
"Hey, look there, that tree is so beautiful!"
Qin Zheng pointed to a ten-zhang tall "tree" in front of him.
The trunk of the tree had a circle of sinuous turquoise scales, which shone green in the sunlight.
"Wow, I've never seen a tree like this."
A companion approached and reached out to touch the scales.
Tick –
A large, thick drop of water hit the top of his head, and it woke him up.
Half of the snake's head slowly poked out from the dense foliage above, and it made a rustling sound and spit out snake hyacinths, and two words seemed to be written in its dark eyes, and these two words were called hunger.
What kind of water droplets, it is obviously the coveting of the blue snake.
The companion tried to escape, but his legs were already weak, and his body was uncontrollable and could not move, like seeing a rabbit with a hungry wolf, triggering instinctive fear.
With a whoosh, the snake swooped down with its mouth open, biting him on the waist, raising its head and flicking him in mid-air before swallowing him into its belly, then its greedy eyes looked at the other three again.
"Help... Help me! ”
The other companion was so frightened that his legs trembled, and for a moment he could not stand still and fell to the ground, and the blue snake crawled in a straight line at a very fast speed and swallowed him in one gulp.
"Demon Slayer Talisman! That's right, the Demon Slayer Talisman, I have the Demon Slayer Talisman! ”
Qin Zheng hurriedly searched for his pockets, he had brought three demon extermination talismans bought at a high price from the wild Taoist priest when he went out before, although he didn't know if it was useful, but at this moment the demon exterminating talisman had become his last life-saving straw, Qiu Xiao hid behind him, thinking that the little master in front of him could really take out the demon exterminating talisman and defeat the blue snake in one fell swoop.
Now there were only the two of them left, and the snake came slowly and unhurriedly, knowing that these two men could not escape unless they grew wings, otherwise they would be reduced to a feast.
"Damn it! It seems to have dropped! ”
Qin Zheng took out his pocket and left it empty, scolding in his heart, and then he looked at Qiu Xiao.
I'm sorry!
He grabbed the corner of Qiu Xiao's clothes and pulled him in front of him, and pushed hard to push Qiu Xiao towards the blue snake, so as to gain time to escape.
Qiu Xiao, who was pushed to death, had blank eyes, and he was a ten-year-old child who was powerless to struggle!
At this moment when his life was hanging by a thread, Qiu Xiao's pupils flashed with a trace of scarlet light.
The gluttony sleeping in Qiu Xiao's body has awakened at this moment!
The gluttony raised its head and shook it, opened its sleepy eyes, and saw the blue snake attacking, and its blood-red eyes released a strong killing intent: "A little worm, dare to be presumptuous?" ”
One person and one snake looked at each other, and the deep coercion in Qiu Xiao's eyes like an endless abyss forced Bi Snake's heart to tremble.
The snake had a feeling that if it dared to move forward, it would die without a place to be buried, its pupils constricted, and it shook its tail as hard as it could, stopped its steps, and then turned its head sharply.
It wants to escape! It has never seen such a terrifying existence, if human beings are like rabbits seeing hungry wolves in front of the blue snake, then the blue snake at this moment is like being in a landslide, the sky falls, and the tsunami! This is no longer a fear among animals.
"Where are you going?"
Qiu Xiao, who was possessed and controlled by gluttony, rushed towards the blue snake with an arrow, and his small palm actually stopped the escaping blue snake, and even the green scale armor that the blue snake was proud of and invulnerable was shattered by Qiu Xiao's hand.
The snake struggled, its body writhing wildly, raising up the sand in the sky.
"Since it is brought to my mouth, it is ready to become food." Qiu Xiao wiped the corners of his mouth, and a line of saliva flowed out.
Gluttonous gluttony, in its eyes there is nothing that it can't eat, it has not eaten anything during this period of sleep, it is so hungry, it wants to have a full meal today!
The tail of the blue snake was held down by Qiu Xiao as if it was embedded in the soil, and no matter how the blue snake struggled, it could not escape.
And Qiu Xiao was eating the body of the blue snake in large pieces one by one, and the hard scale armor was as crispy as a shortbread in Qiu Xiao's mouth.
Seeing that the body was gnawed inch by inch, the blue snake panicked, and at this speed, it wouldn't take half a stick of incense to eat, and only a pair of white bones would be eaten.
Hiss!!
The snake cried out in despair.
In the deepest part of the Sacred Tree Ridge, the man lying in the center of the secluded spring absorbing the aura opened his eyes suddenly; "My son is in trouble!"
