Chapter 146: Sincerity
"The Lord ......"
The three-tailed white fox, with its tail hanging low and its dull hair, hurriedly raised its head and asked anxiously when it saw the green snake that had changed back to its original form, "Lord, what have they done to you?" ”
The green snake still maintained a half-coiled, half-upright posture, his head turned back, his eyes stared straight at Yu Xi, his eyes were a little dull, and the half-spit letter was also frozen there, not moving at all, as if someone had cast a fixing spell.
The three-tailed white fox was frozen in place by a tentacle stretched out from the ground, and could only watch from a distance, so anxious that he couldn't do it, "Lord, what's wrong with you?" ”
During the struggle, a lot of fox fur fell off his body, and half of his bald tail appeared, and he suddenly looked even more bald.
With these few "Lords", he finally pulled the stiff green snake back to his senses.
At this time, her eyes that shone with cold light were still full of surprise and inquiry.
"That green snake seems to know you." Chu Yan's voice sounded in Yu Xi's sea of knowledge.
The two had the same opinion, and Yu Xi also found that the gaze of the green snake looking at him was not unfamiliar.
This kind of look is like seeing a person who has known each other for a long time, but should not be here.
Yu Xi became more and more confused, the words came to his mouth, and he was about to ask, when he saw the green snake's raised head suddenly droop down, and he lowered his head and spoke first, "It turned out to be you, what do you want to ask, just ask." ”
Her words surprised Elder Mai and the others and the three-tailed white fox who was bound not far away.
After the surprise, the first look on Elder Mai's face appeared suddenly.
That's how it should be!
What kind of person is it?
This cunning green snake must have recognized the identity of the Venerable Lord, so he obediently obeyed, no longer escaped, and was allowed to be interrogated by the Venerable.
"Your Excellency, why don't you rest and hand it over to your subordinates for trial?" Elder Mai volunteered to control the three hurricanes surrounding the green snake to disperse a little and come forward.
The green snake glanced at him coldly, ignored it, and only looked at Yu Xi.
The gaze clearly said that she was only interrogated by Yu Xi.
"Come on." Yu Xi took a step forward with his right foot, and his figure instantly moved to a position directly in front of the green snake that was level with its line of sight, no more than five feet away from each other.
Those deep eyes remained motionless, as if waiting for Yu Xi to ask a question.
The person who was obviously trying his best to escape just now completely changed his attitude after seeing Yu Xi, and such a huge contrast between before and after couldn't help but make people feel worried.
Should this green snake have left any back, deliberately retreating as advance?
"Your Excellency, be careful." Elder Mai hurriedly sent a message to remind.
Yu Xi bowed his head slightly, signaling that he knew.
The person who was obviously trying his best to flee just now completely changed his attitude after seeing Yu Xi, and such a huge contrast between before and after made Elder Mai and the others couldn't help but worry.
This green snake shouldn't have deliberately retreated as an advance, and left something terrible behind, right?
Yu Xi has not taken off her guard, she manipulated the Qiankun Bagua Array Banner to shrink continuously, shrinking all the power of the array flag in this illusion, guarding the illusion into an unbreakable iron bucket, and eliminating the possibility of the "Fake Demon Venerable" pretending to surrender and escape.
"Who are you?" Yu Xi threw out the first question.
The green snake snake letter spit slightly, hissing sound, raised his eyes and stared at Yu Xi's expression and replied, "Transformation of the silver-scaled green snake, Qinglan." ”
It is said that Yu Xi's exposed cultivation is only Yuan Ying, and the green snake has reached the realm of merger, but she was not slack in the face of Yu Xi's inquiry, and answered extremely seriously.
Silver-scaled green snake.
Yu Xi read the name twice in her heart, and suddenly remembered what kind of demon beast it was.
Because of its smooth and tender skin and delicate and delicious meat, it is known as the most suitable snake demon for cooking snake soup.
Later, for some reason, the number became more and more scarce, and today there are few silver-scaled green snakes on the table, and only the top banquet can see its figure again, and the price is so high that it is comparable to the high-grade elixir.
Yu Xi saw the silver-scaled green snake for the first time, and the silver scales on the forehead and the three silver rings on the tip of the tail were the two most recognizable places for it. It is said that the meat on this snake is the most tender and the most quintive, and it is these two places.
Yu Xi then threw out the second question, "Why did you pretend to be the identity of the Demon Venerable?" ”
The green snake's gaze swirled around Elder Mai and the two demon spirits, and finally fell back to Yu Xi, and explained sincerely: "It was not my intention to assume the identity of the Demon Venerable, I came out of the Western Realm, and I only came here to find a place to live, and to take in these demon beasts who share my fate and are in a miserable situation. I have never called myself a Demon Venerable, and as for the so-called Lord, it is just a title that everyone spontaneously shouted when they thanked me for saving my life. ”
When he said this, the snake's head lowered slightly, as if he was a little lonely.
Yu Xi believed what it said, but at most he only believed half of it.
The demon beasts stationed in the blood pool in the Demon Emperor Palace did have something in common with the silver-scaled green snake in front of them. Their biggest common feature is that they are all low-level demon beasts with low bloodline power and insufficient innate ability, but they have cultivated to a realm that is difficult for their own race to achieve.
How exactly do they do it?
Yu Xi didn't rush to question the words of the silver-scaled green snake, his scrutinizing gaze fell on the top of its head, not giving it more time to think, and then threw out the third question, "Where did the soul eater in your hand come from?" ”
According to Elder Mai, in the past hundred years, the Soul Eater has appeared a total of twice.
The first appearance was in the extreme west of Beizhou, which is further west than the Dingkun Mountain where the spiritual veins are found now, and the location is just close to the western moat, it is difficult not to think that several soul devouring insects are related to the silver-scaled green snake.
The silver-scaled green snake still lowered its head and replied respectfully: "It has only been less than twenty years since the Demon Emperor Palace was built, and this insect was accidentally obtained in a seaside lair after I built the Demon Emperor Palace. At first, there were only three of them, and they continued to breed and breed to achieve their current scale. ”
Without waiting for Yu Xi to ask again, she took the initiative to propose, "I cultivated these soul devouring insects to cleanse and purify the power of the bloodline on my body. Now that I have the cultivation of the Path, these worms are useless to me, and if you need them, I can give you all these mother worms and child worms. ”
Such a number of Soul Eater Worms, if all of them were released, would be enough to set off a bloody storm in the Northern Continent.
These bugs are not expected to be given in vain.
Yu Xi's gaze fell on the silver scales on the top of her forehead, stared at it for a moment, and asked in a deep voice, "What do you want?" ”
The snake's head, which had been hanging low, finally raised slightly, and the cold glint in his eyes was all constricted, leaving only full sincerity.
"I want to take these demon beasts and monks with my men to join you. The entire Demon Emperor Palace, as well as all the treasures I have collected over the years, will be enshrined in you, I wonder if you are willing to accept us? ”
After a pause, the snake's mouth curved a little, its mouth opened slightly, and it spit out four words.
"Lord Demon Venerable."
At the same time as the words sounded, a bloody mouth appeared in front of Yu Xi's eyes, and the sharp fangs flashed cold, hitting her neck.
