Chapter 70: A Moment of Glory
"So what now? They're telling us to pull ...... Pull the flag?" Shen Yingyao's throat was a little dry.
As if to verify what he had said, the devourers screamed and rubbed against their legs, urging them to step forward and pull down their flags.
"If you pull the flag now, not only will this demon eater die, but the location of their habitat will also be revealed by the projection." Ye Yousheng felt that the timing was a little bad.
But the demon devourer, who was obviously very friendly just now, has become extremely irritable now. Seeing that Ye Yousheng and Shen Yingyao were slow to pull out the flag, their chirps also became sharp, and their long tails wrapped their legs, using all the strength of their bodies to drag towards the big devouring demon.
Their individual strength is not great, but the combined strength of so many tails is enough to drag a humanoid of normal size. Not to mention, Ye Yousheng and Shen Yingyao still had the consideration of not wanting to hurt them, so they could only be taken by them, getting closer and closer to the Great Devouring Demon.
Seeing that he was about to reach the flag, Ye Yousheng's body suddenly turned into a puddle of water and flowed to the ground, soaking the bodies of the demon devourers. The devourers whose fluff was stained with water trembled wildly, shrunk their bodies into a ball and rolled on the clean ground, trying to shake off the water on their bodies.
And because they ran around irrationally, many devourers who didn't get touched by the water were also affected by the water droplets they threw out. For a moment, the entire lair was filled with howls of pain.
No one thought that the devourer who hid his lair behind the waterfall would be afraid of water.
Shen Yingyao's leg was coldly let go by the devouring demon, and he lost his balance for a while, and almost fell to the ground. He hurriedly wanted to look for Ye Yousheng's traces, but before he could turn his head, he was grabbed by the arm and ran directly out of the nest with him.
"There's someone from the Occultation City outside, so let's go first."
It's Ye Yousheng.
Originally, he just wanted to break free from the shackles of the demon devourer, but he didn't want to use a strong method, so he turned his body into water. However, it inadvertently caused more damage to the demon eaters.
To make matters worse, he heard the footsteps of many people coming from a distance. When he released his spiritual power and leaned in the direction where the voice came from, what he saw was the people of the Hidden Sun City led by Zhou Zhirong, and beside him were the two messenger sisters wearing white veils.
The conspiracy of one ring after another made Ye Yousheng a little irritable. He could only pull Shen Yingyao out while taking a deep breath and forcing himself to calm down.
This is not how the world should be.
They should be a beautiful, warm world, as the book says, not as it is now, whether in the real world or in a fictional secret place, where endless battles cannot be escaped.
He is not the flag that these people need to place when they play tricks, just blindly ignoring it will only allow himself to be assimilated by them, and finally fall into deeper darkness with them. Only by taking the initiative and using the most basic concept of good and evil as a weapon can he clear all the fog.
Just as they were about to leave the lair, the great weak devourer opened its closed eyes. It's just that the eye sockets that were supposed to hold the white pupils were empty, replaced by a black viscous mist. The black mist was like its tail replaced by a flag, turning into a rope and reaching out to the two of them.
The rope was so fast that it was almost instantaneous enough to catch up with them.
"Stay...... Stay......" The Great Devourer even spoke. Although the sound is staccato and somewhat strangely cacophonic, it is indeed human language.
Shen Yingyao hurriedly took his sword to block the blow of the rope, only to feel that goosebumps were about to rise all over his body.
Except for the time when he drove away the fox demon in Yangping City, the demon beasts he had seen were all tamed and very docile. So much so that although the monk said that the demon beast was fierce by nature, he didn't have any sense of reality.
So when I heard Ye Yousheng say the scene of devouring demons and cannibalism for the first time, I just felt that what everyone said was really true, and there was no turmoil in my heart.
However, from the flag that had just been sewn into the back, to the sticky rope that came out of the hollow eye sockets now. Ye Yousheng still had his back to him, he didn't see it, but he saw all the changes in the Great Devouring Demon
Plain as day.
It was far beyond his comprehension, and he was tempted to close his eyes and think about nothing now. Maybe when you open your eyes again, everything will go back to the way it was?
But the numbness in the tiger's mouth reminded him that all this was real.
He is not fighting alone, and the first companion he has met in so long, Ye Yousheng, still hasn't given up, looking for a chance to escape. He can't just admit defeat just because he lacks cultivation.
The cultivation of the Great Devourer Demon was obviously above him.
Although the rope's attack was blocked by him with his sword, there were already faint cracks on the hilt of the sword, and the Great Devourer, who could not strike a single blow, had already raised its head again to lock their position, and the new rope was ready to fire in his eye sockets.
"Don't go......" The Great Eater's voice rang out again.
Its mouth was obviously open, but Shen Yingyao just felt that the sound came from it.
By the time of this, the Eater had already been dried, and was ready to attack them at the orders of the Great Devourer.
And Ye Yousheng never looked back, pulling Shen Yingyao to run towards the waterfall without stopping.
"No, we wouldn't be able to walk through this waterfall without them to guide the way." As soon as Ye Yousheng's hand reached into the water curtain, it was bounced out by an invisible force.
It seems that the Demon Eaters have some way of providing a shield for their bodies as they pass through the water curtain, allowing them to pass through without water. And the disadvantage of this protective shield should be that they need to prepare in advance, otherwise they would not have been flustered by Ye Yousheng's magic just now.
"What then? Let's kill them all here?" Shen Yingyao clenched his sword tightly, aiming at the demon devouring that was getting closer and closer.
Obviously, these devouring demons are so cute, and when I got along with them before, it was always a very harmonious atmosphere. But it wasn't until they were reluctant to pull the flag, or from the time they started singing, that the Demon Eaters were different.
This secret realm was set up by my father himself.
Shen Yingyao can accept that his father does not tell him the specific content of the secret realm, which means that his father is preparing for him to conduct his own training, and wants to see him become stronger and stronger. But he couldn't accept that Shen Hezheng, who had never participated in the battle of geniuses, actually knew about the secret realm.
Does my father believe in Shen Hezheng more?
Just like in the previous Treasure Pavilion incident, Shen Hezheng was obviously framed so obviously, but his father still had to deal with the innocent Lin Han. And in the back, he was given a separate task to go to the city walls.
He didn't know which was more important, his father's favor or trust.
It's just that every time he sees Shen He coming back with an injury and telling his father that the task has been completed perfectly again, his heart is jealous.
He also wanted that one day, no matter how seriously injured, he could proudly help his father do things, walk through the admiring eyes of the whole sect, and then hear his father say with his own ears that his most powerful son is back.
If he can pass this secret realm well and return to the Qianyuan Sect, no matter how much his father and mother oppose it at that time, he must go out to help the sect by himself, and let them all watch, he Shen Yingyao is not much worse than Shen Hezheng!
But his ambitions are unknown to no one but him.
Ye Yousheng's hand stroked the saber on his waist, and pursed his lips to look at the devouring demon that had surrounded them.
He had a plan to escape, but he wasn't sure if he wanted to.
Except for this strange form of the Great Devourer, the other Devourers really have no attack power. If they want to kill them, the demon eaters can be handed over to Shen Yingyao to solve, and then he will deal with the big demon eater.
Maybe the devourers here are all dead, and this waterfall can pass freely.
He glanced at Shen Yingyao beside him again.
Shen Yingyao looked very nervous, he didn't even notice that sweat was leaking from his forehead, and his hand holding the sword was trembling slightly. But he still asked him in a firm voice if he wanted to kill together.
In the Sun Occultation Sect, the phantom of the severed horn devouring demon appeared in front of Ye Yousheng's eyes.
He shook his head, putting his distractions aside for a moment.
"You don't need to do it now." He whispered, "Watch my breathing, and when I exhale for the third time, we'll slash together toward the waterfall."
"Good!" Shen Yingyao didn't ask why, and after hearing Ye Yousheng's words, he began to pay full attention to Ye Yousheng's movements.
The Great Devourer over there seemed to notice what they were discussing, and the huge body that collapsed on the ground began to shake violently. The flag sewn on its back also shook with its movements, and the sound of iron hooves of thousands of horses came from the waving flag. z.br>
"Commitment...... Stay ......" The black ropes struck again, and the devourers who surrounded them also rushed up in unison.
Ye Yousheng looked at the overwhelming demon devouring demons, and when the third exhalation came, he turned around and slashed towards the waterfall with all his strength with Shen Yingyao.
"Boom—"
An explosive roar sounded, and Ye Yousheng felt that he had lost his hearing for a moment. But when he felt water pouring from above to the top of his head, he didn't care about the discomfort in his ears, reached out and grabbed Shen Yingyao beside him, and the two jumped out together on the stones under the waterfall.
"Little brother, we're here to save you!" Zhou Zhirong's face was sincere joy.
He held Ye Yousheng and Shen Yingyao's hands with both hands, with tears in his eyes: "We have all seen the efforts you have made for the Occult Sun City. It's just that these demon devourers are so cunning that even you have been deceived. But it doesn't matter, little brother, when we catch these devourers and return to the city together, I will show your contribution to the sect master. If you hadn't discovered their nests, our trip wouldn't have gone so well."
He looked at Zheng Yunmin and Zheng Yunwan again, "The two envoys will also be here to witness the glorious moment of our Occult Sun City."
