Chapter 937: That Man
In fact, the fire ball no longer looked like a human being, and its red was indescribable. Lei Jiuyun only found a faint shadow in that blazing fire, and he vaguely looked like Chen Xi. Her first reaction was that Chen Xi was finished, he was going to die, and he must have been bitten by those terrifying sleeping flying insects. At this moment, she had a feeling that her heart was like ashes.
But after a few seconds, her expression changed from dead to frightened.
Because she found that it was not those crystal flying insects that were chasing Chen Xi, but Chen Xi who was chasing those crystal flying insects. Moreover, it seems to be devouring bite by bite. With each bite, the fire became hotter. Originally, she and Xiao Jinlong couldn't get too close, and later they had to continue to retreat. The heat wave burned a huge cavern beneath the desert, and the temperature was unimaginably high.
Probably infected by this temperature, the little golden dragon did not wilt, but became excited. It paced back and forth a little restlessly, and then suddenly raised its head and let out a still very immature dragon moan, and the sound of the dragon moan lingered for a long time. Its face turned a little red, and then it suddenly opened its mouth and let out a dragon's breath. Although it can't compare to the dragon breath spewed out by an adult dragon, it is terrifying enough.
It took a breath of dragon breath before it calmed down a little, and then walked to Lei Jiuyun's side tiredly, leaning on her, a little drowsy.
Lei Jiuyun didn't dare to let it fall asleep, so he picked it up and shook it a few times: "Don't sleep, don't sleep, is Chen Xi still alive?"
The little golden dragon squinted his eyes and replied, "The contractual relationship is still there, but I really can't be sure if he's dead or alive." Because that fire doesn't seem to be a person at all. ”
Lei Jiuyun's heart sank again, because she also knew very well that the fire didn't look like a person. At this time, Chen Xi had completely lost his body, and his soul was wrapped in blazing flames, if it weren't for Lei Jiuyun's amazing strength and good eyesight, he wouldn't have seen the faint shadow in the fire at all. Xiao Jinlong said that the contractual relationship was still there, although the heaviness in Lei Jiuyun's heart was slightly lightened, but his worries were not alleviated at all.
"It's just a passing cloud. ”
Chen Xi's voice appeared in the fire, but Lei Jiuyun didn't know what Chen Xi meant by saying this.
The fire fluttered in all directions, devouring the last few crystal flying insects, and the fire seemed to solidify. The existence form of fire is destined to be impossible to be solid. But now it gives you the feeling that this is it, although the fire is swaying and fluttering, it seems to be a solid thing.
Lei Jiuyun wanted to ask Chen Xi how it was, but the ball of fire suddenly flew out into the distance. Lei Jiuyun wanted to chase, but her speed was too far worse than the fire. No matter how hard she tried to chase it, the fire soon vanished, leaving only a large, straight cavern. Lei Jiuyun continued to chase down this cave, and he would definitely be able to find Chen Xi again, but no one knew what he would be like when he saw Chen Xi again.
"How is he?"
Lei Jiuyun asked the little golden dragon.
The little golden dragon hugged Lei Jiuyun's arm and staggered: "I'm not dead yet, but the contract relationship is getting looser and looser, and I can't feel his direction anymore." The fire destroyed his body, and as long as the fire did not stop, it would be difficult for him to reshape his body even if he was a god of eons. So you'd better be mentally prepared that if the fire is not extinguished, even if he is always alive, it will only be a fire. ”
Lei Jiuyun was stunned, and his heart was full of mixed feelings for a while.
Chen Xi came to the Tomb of the Demon Emperor to temper himself, but after coming in, he found that the Tomb of the Demon Emperor was not what he imagined at all. Now that Chen Xi had lured away the Crystal Flying Worm in order to protect them, this might be the most dangerous tempering ever for Chen Xi.
Xiao Jinlong squinted his eyes, and his voice became more and more tired: "Maybe he won't be able to hold on for long, after all, the fire is directly burning his soul now." I don't know why his soul can still hold on, if it were someone else, maybe it would have been wiped out long ago, and there would not be even a corpse left. Oh I don't feel the contractual relationship anymore, it seems to be still there, but, but, it's too vague. If I wanted to now, I could already go back to the summoning world. ”
Lei Jiuyun felt that her heart had sunk to the bottom, and she had lost hope.
If she was the one who was engulfed in flames at this time, she might not have lasted that long at all.
Because the little golden dragon squirted a breath of dragon breath, its weak strength finally couldn't hold on and fell into a deep sleep. When it was first summoned by Chen Xi, it had killed many giant flying insects with dragon breath. So it fell into a coma, and after waking up this time, its strength had not fully recovered. Infected by the flames just now, it squirted another breath of dragon breath and its strength was exhausted again, so it fell into a deep sleep again.
"Nope"
It squeezed two words out of its mouth before it fell asleep, and then it snored slightly, falling asleep ridiculously fast.
Lei Jiuyun looked at the little golden dragon asleep in his arms, and tears slipped down again: "I know there is no hope." ”
Lei Jiuyun didn't know what she was doing, although she didn't fight, she had a feeling of physical and mental exhaustion. She walked forward step by step, each step so heavy, as if there was a mountain on her back. She had a blank expression, holding the sleeping little golden dragon in her arms, and walked forward along the lava hole that was burned when Chen Xi left.
When you step on it, you will make a clicking sound, which is the residue of the sand after it has been burned.
After Chen Xi passed through here, a unique and spectacular scene was formed here. Perhaps a few years later, when someone discovers that there is a lava cave under the desert, they will be amazed at the wonders of nature. Lei Jiuyun didn't know how far this lava hole was, and she didn't even know if she would stick to it, and she would completely collapse halfway through.
She has never been a person who is not strong, otherwise she would not have become one of the four elders of the demon race. Although Lei Meier's father deliberately promoted her, first of all, she must be strong enough.
A strong person, on the verge of collapse, is much more thorough than a person who often collapses.
She felt her steps getting heavier and heavier, as if her legs were no longer her own.
At this moment, she seemed to hear someone calling out to her.
"Why don't you stop?"
Someone called her name and asked.
Lei Jiuyun raised his head, but he didn't see anything.
"Because I know there's hope. ”
She replied.
"Hmm. ”
The voice paused, and then said slowly: "Do you remember what I told you at the beginning? Why did I choose you to become one of the four elders? At that time, most people thought that because you are a woman, and I will pass the throne to my daughter, it will be more stable to have a woman to assist her. But in fact, if you are not strong enough, even if I want you to be strong, it will be in vain. ”
"Your Majesty?"
Lei Jiuyun turned his head to look around, but still didn't find anything.
"It's me. ”
The voice continued: "No need to look for it, I'm not near you." The reason why you can hear me is because when I taught you to practice, I planted cause and effect in your heart. So even if I'm in the Tomb of the Demon Emperor, I can see the Demon Domain and see my daughter through you. I'm still out there, and you've left too many traces, so I'll help you press it for the time being. ”
"Your Majesty, are you still alive?"
"Yes, I'm still alive, the only one of all the Demon Emperors here. But I have to make myself look like the other Demon Emperors all the time, or I won't last long. This is a far more complex place than you think, and I will help you through the process as soon as possible to make you stronger. Now I'm going to briefly talk about the main things that you need to remember. ”
"The minister obeyed. ”
Lei Jiuyun stood there, his hands clenched into fists.
"The Tomb of the Demon Emperor has been a conspiracy from the beginning, and it is also a conspiracy for all Demon Emperors to become corpse demons after they die. The reason why I faked my death to enter here was to find out the secret. Because if I don't fake my death, I will really die. The only thing I'm worried about is whether my daughter can protect herself. But now it seems, she was too headstrong. However, compared to the survival of the demon clan and my daughter, I choose her. Even if she kills people all over the world, she's still my daughter, and I can't care about other things. ”
"I don't know exactly what the purpose of this conspiracy is, but now one thing is almost certain, there is an absolute powerhouse in the Tomb of the Demon Emperor, and he controls everyone here. Including you coming in, he knows it very clearly. The reason why I don't dare to show that I know you is precisely because my every move is also in his sight. If I want to find out who this person is, I have to keep pretending. Why do all the Demon Emperors have to suffer such a thing?"
"Everything here has been designed, such as the construction of the Demon Emperor's Tomb, which was built voluntarily by the Demon Clan, but in fact, all of this is being realized step by step according to that person's plan. That's the scariest part, because that person didn't show up at all, he didn't do anything himself. It's our demons themselves who have done all this well. Who exactly he was and why he did it, we don't know anything. All I know is that he turned all the Demon Emperors into corpse demons, and then the Demon Clan had to build the Tomb of the Demon Emperor. ”
The Old Demon Emperor was silent for a while and then said, "When I felt the changes in my body, I had to fake my death in advance. Because when I really die, I will be no different from the other Demon Emperors here. I still want to live well, live a long time, and take care of my daughter all the time. Now that she's wrong, I know she's wrong, and I want to tell her what was wrong in person, rather than asking someone to take care of her for me. ”
"I'm her father, and no one can really take care of her for me. But before I can do that, I have to find the man and break the spell. ”
"That's why I'm here, and the following words are about you. That friend of yours is special, someone I've ever met who has the potential to be the most accomplished in the future. I can't feel him now, but that doesn't mean he's dead. If I'm guessing correctly, he's deliberately closing himself off so that others can't perceive him. It's as if he made a cocoon for himself, and when the cocoon breaks, he will be reborn. ”
The Old Demon Emperor's voice was a little tired, but also a little expectant: "You are outsiders here, you have broken the balance here, this is not necessarily a bad thing for me, because your nonsense may make that person appear." Now you know why there is a game where the corpse is chasing you?"
There was hatred in his tone: "That person arranged it." ”
