The huge arena quieted down after Sanmiao and them dispersed in a hurry.

After the lights went out, the stone cave fell into darkness, and everything could only be seen in an outline.

On the ground in the middle of the arena, in the human-shaped pit, the mottled blood stains were still left in the rubble at the bottom of the pit after Yuan Ying's body was carried away.

In the quiet darkness, a wisp of black gas suddenly rose from the blood stains.

It slowly rose upright, like a viper, and turned its head in the darkness, observing everything around it, and after making sure that there were no other ghosts in the great cave, it slowly fell to the ground.

Immediately after, it crawled out of the pit and in the darkness, like a snake, heading towards the west of the arena.

After about half a cup of tea, the wisp of black qi, which was no longer than a finger, crawled to the west of the arena, and after swimming among the gravel and dust all over the ground for a long time, it suddenly stopped in front of a pool of blood.

It sniffed the dried blood from the front end, then spread out slightly into flakes, pounced on the blood, and slowly wriggled like black waves.

After a few moments, the black qi condensed into a column again, and the blood on the ground was long gone.

It continued to crawl forward, heading towards the entrance of the cave.

When it arrived at the exit with great effort, it saw that it had reached the heavy stone gate, which had been lowered and blocked the way.

The stone door flashed with a dark red light, which at first glance was emitted by the prohibition engraved on the door; after circling around the stone door and finding that it was impossible to break through this red light, the black qi suddenly became angry and angry, and there was a series of "hissing" sounds on his body......

Under the back hall of the big chief's yafu, in the dungeon, the talisman seals on the cage where Sanmiao was imprisoned were made by Xuanli, and naturally only Xuanli could break them.

Xiao Shizhu just pulled heavily, and the iron pillar that was still straight immediately bent outward, and then he exerted his strength again, and the entire fence embedded in the rock wall was pulled out by him.

When the cell door was opened, Ma Duo and the other Sanmiao ghosts immediately rushed in desperately and surrounded Sanmiao's side.

It had only been a year since they had seen them, and their big leader had long since been completely naked and unrecognizable, and his body was covered with scorched black whip marks, and there were still many new wounds with the skin turned outward, crisscrossed between the old wounds that had already scabbed, and the bones were visible and shocking.

And on his pale cheeks, there was no glimmer of brilliance except exhaustion.

They carefully helped him to sit up slowly, and called dozens of times in succession, and the eyes of Sanmiao, who were blind, only shone with a little light, but they were as dim as he was dying.

He looked around at the ghosts, and finally his gaze fell on the face of the hemp stack that was trembling with tears in his eyes, and after opening his chapped lips and gasping for a moment, he said breathlessly, "You...... You guys...... It's finally here. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and a smile of relief appeared.

But that smile was mixed with a hint of imperceptible bitterness.

Xiao Shizhu, who had mixed tastes, lowered his head silently after hearing this, and secretly blamed himself in his heart: "It's late, it's still late." ”。

In the past five years, under the supervision of the ghost mother, he has also cultivated his perception, although it is not as keen as Yingying and Xiao Si, but his perception is even more special; as a son of God, he can clearly perceive the strength of the soul qi in the body of the ghost within a zhang of him.

All souls rely on their soul energy to maintain their ghost life, and the weaker the soul qi, the less long the ghost life will be.

At such a short distance, Xiao Shizhu could clearly feel that the soul qi in Sanmiao's body was as weak as his breathing, and he was already dying.

A ghost life is about to disappear, and Xiao Shizhu is a little unbearable in his heart.

And he also learned through Yuan Ying's memory that Yuan Ying, the emperor of Xudu, came to visit Yunmengze and asked Sanmiao to send troops to attack the Nine Shadows Kingdom to provoke an unprovoked war, but was sternly rejected by Sanmiao;

"I hurt him. Thinking like this, Xiao Shizhu couldn't face the gloomy gaze on Sanmiao's face, which was covered in injuries.

"How did you find me?" asked Sanmiao again.

Ma Duo was silent for a moment, and after organizing the language, he simply explained all the causes and consequences to Sanmiao, and said Xiao Shizhu in the fighting arena: "The ghosts of the Nine Shadows Kingdom obey the order, no matter whether I live or die, I must kill this demon, and return the ghosts of Yunmengze Sanmiao to a bright future." He also told the big boss word for word.

Then he raised his hand and pointed to Xiao Shizhu outside the door, and said, "This is the legendary son of God, the current King of the Nine Shadows, Xiao Shizhu." ”。

Sanmiao's gaze followed the direction of his finger, looked at Xiao Shizhu, who was standing alone outside the door, bowing his head slightly and being silent, and after looking him up and down for a while, a trace of gratitude flashed in his eyes, and he said with great difficulty: "Help me up, I want to kneel to the son of God." ”。

But his current injury is almost dead if he doesn't move, and he can't kill his ghost if he moves a few more times?

"The big boss doesn't have to be polite. Just when they were surprised, Xiao Shizhu suddenly waved his hand and said softly: "Let's find a doctor first and help you heal." ”。

"Hehe, I'm hopeless. Sanmiao shook his head and laughed miserably, and said astringently: "My body, I know it myself, he tortures me every day, and I won't live for a few days." ”。 After speaking, he gasped a few times, as if this long paragraph of speech took a lot of effort on his part.

Their faces suddenly appeared sad. Everyone bowed their heads, not knowing what to say.

"Son of God, please come. Sanmiao, who suddenly showed trust in his eyes, beckoned to Xiao Shizhu and said, "I'll give you a greeting gift." ”。

If it had been placed in the past, Xiao Shizhu would have laughed out loud after being stunned for a moment, and it would have been a loud laugh. The big leader of Sanmiao has no shirt covering his body, and he can almost see it at a glance, how can there be anything else to give him?

But he was in a bad mood today, and he didn't bother to laugh, so he just said succinctly and clearly: "Excuse me." And I won't say more.

"Inevitably, I want you to be the next big leader of my people. As soon as these words came out, under the stunned gaze of the hemp stacks, Sanmiao suddenly stretched out his trembling hand, and without hesitation, he clasped the back of his head and neck, and the flesh between his shoulders.

Without waiting for Xiao Shizhu to refuse, he had turned his five fingers into claws and stabbed into the subcutaneous flesh on his back, causing him to gasp in pain, and his face was like cold sweat.

Blood splattered everywhere, and his hand clasped backhand in the exposed dark red muscle, grabbed an object, and slowly pulled out a bloody object from his back backbone.

The other ghosts were suddenly dumbfounded. I saw that in the hands of Sanmiao, who had the skin on his back, he was holding a smooth bone that was slightly bent and no more than one foot two long. It is not so much a bone as a sharp end and a sleek thing at the other end, more like a giant canine tooth.

After a lot of ghost blood dripped on this thing, it was depicted on it, and the migration map of the three seedlings passed down from generation to generation gradually became clear.

"The Sanmiao Bone Staff, the token of the leader that has been passed down from generation to generation, is made of the canine tooth of the first tengu in the underworld. Sanmiao's trembling hand gently stroked the bone staff that lay across his chest, and whispered like a thin mosquito: "This is what the Emperor Xudu wants, so that he can mobilize all the Sanmiao warriors to fight for his atrocities." ”。

It turned out that this thing was the legendary Dog God Bone Staff! But Sanmiao was too ruthless to himself, and actually hid in the backbone of his body; no wonder the Yuan Ying of the Emperor Xudu had been looking for it for a year, and he had searched all over Yunmeng Continent, but he couldn't find it.

If the infant is still alive, I don't know how to feel when I see this scene at this moment?

Xiao Shizhu groaned and walked forward, slowly walked to Sanmiao's side and squatted, looked at the bone staff for a moment, and then said slowly: "I know a little bit about your rules; Isn't this a bit heavier?"

"But you can lead my people to the light. The leader of the three seedlings, whose mind had been decided, stared at Xiao Shizhu's clear and clear eyes with eyes full of expectations, and said solemnly: "The prophecy says that only the son of God can create a better future for us ghosts. There is no better ghost than you to take over this bone staff. ”。 He couldn't breathe anymore when he spoke, and he must have returned to the light.

Xiao Shizhu was shocked when he heard this, he laughed at these prophecies and rumors in the past, but looking at the serious and serious expression of this dying ghost, Xiao Shizhu was like being called by God. He was silent, and he didn't reach out to take the bone staff.

If in the past, Xiao Shizhu, who had never had much of a temperance limit, would have stretched out his hand without hesitation, but after the battle with Emperor Xudu's Yuan Ying, he knew that Sanmiao was already miserable, and he was somewhat unbearable.

Moreover, although the bone staff is the order of the big leader, it is also suspected of taking advantage of people's danger. Taking advantage of people's danger, he Xiao Shizhu has never done it, unless the other party is an enemy, otherwise he really doesn't bother to do such a thing.

It's a pity that Sanmiao is not his enemy.

Xiao Shizhu, who was quite embarrassed, secretly thought for a moment, and his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said with great interest: "Since the Xuan Force can create all things, and I have the Xuan Force, can I renew your life for you? It is imperative to find a doctor first and stop your wounds to prevent bleeding ......".

"No need, the Xuanli of the Son of God should be used against Emperor Xudu, not to save me, a bad old man. Before he finished speaking, San Miao shook his head slightly, stretched out his bloody right hand, patted Xiao Shizhu's shoulder, interrupted him in a deep voice, and said solemnly: "Take the bone staff and complete your mission! As the prophecy says, go and establish a heart for heaven and earth, a life for all ghosts, and peace for the underworld; overthrow the Emperor Xudu, and return the underworld to a prosperous world." ”。

When Xiao Shizhu saw him, his eyes were full of expectation and sustenance, and they became heavier and heavier. Finally, he couldn't bear to let this dying ghost die without turning a blind eye, so he slowly stretched out his hand and reverently took the bone staff.

The bone cane was not heavy, but the moment Xiao Shizhu took it, it sank. A sense of responsibility and mission arose spontaneously from the bottom of my heart, accompanied by an irrepressible impulse.

Xiao Shizhu knelt down in front of Sanmiao and promised: "Don't worry, I will not only overthrow Emperor Xudu, but also treat all the ghosts of Sanmiao as my own people." ”。

The words are sonorous and powerful, and they are loud and loud.

"Kneel down to the new leader and swear allegiance yet. Sanmiao, whose face suddenly showed a sense of relief, beckoned to the ghosts around him.

After Ma Duo and the others received the order, they hurriedly got up and put on a full robe, and Xiao Shizhu, who was holding the bone staff in his hand and had slowly stood up, knelt down impressively, and shouted in unison: "I will swear in front of the old leader again, and swear allegiance to the new leader of the Nine Shadows King and the Nine Shadows Kingdom in this life, and I am willing to follow the king and fight for the peace of the underworld and the lives of all ghosts!"

While the loud oath echoed in the cell, Xiao Shizhu said softly: "Since you all have to be loyal, follow the rules of my Nine Shadows Kingdom, and first get rid of your stinky problem of being willing to kneel for his ghosts! Remember, except for your parents, no ghost is worthy of your knees, including me!"

As he spoke, Sanmiao had quietly taken a long breath, slowly closed his eyes that were gradually dimming, and lowered his head slightly, but straightened his back.

Just like that, he ended his ghost life peacefully!
