After being silent for a while, Xie Zheng asked again: "I remember that two years ago, there was also an accident in the South Styx Valley, and the remaining heavenly fire suddenly went out, revealing a crack in the ground, and it was the Zen master who sealed the South Styx Valley. ”

"Now, what is the origin of the divine fire in the Southern Stygian Valley?"

Xie Zheng actually asked casually, and he didn't think about what answer these two little cubs could give, and sure enough, the little deer demon was even more dazed, but the little tiger demon frowned, looking bitter and hateful.

"I remember before my dad left, it seemed to mention it, saying what... The retribution of the Demon King's Palace is coming? I asked, but my dad wouldn't tell me. ”

"Retribution?" Xie Zheng subconsciously looked at Bi Fang and asked, "Do you have any clue?" ”

Bi Fang pondered for a moment, pulled the corners of his lips, and said: "It's not that thing, in order to quell the disaster in the Southern Underworld Valley, so many divine beasts died, and the strength of the Sky Fox Clan is not very strong, but it can enter the Demon King City, isn't this suspicious enough?" ”

In the end, it was too far away, Xie Zheng was not interested in these demon secrets, waved his hand, and took a small cub in one hand to take them out of the small world of Sumeru.

At this moment, the night in the demon world is dark, and the demon clan camp where they are just now is empty.

Tears bubbled up in the eyes of the little deer demon: "They were all driven into the South Styx Valley..."

He was devastated, although he and Furry had been saved, many more of his demon companions had died in the divine fire that almost devoured half of the sky, and just like his parents and siblings, he would never come back.

Xie Zheng touched his head, sighed, and then said to Zhao Zhao: "You and Bi Fang will go separately to explore the South Styx Valley, and I will take them with me, and then we will arrive." ”

After the two of them left, Xie Zheng looked at the two little cubs, then sighed, held one in one hand, rose in the sky, and flew towards the divine fire in the South Stygian Valley.

The closer he got, a sense of familiarity emerged in Xie Zheng's heart.

"It's... and Bi Fang's divine fire, it seems to be the same origin? ”

The little deer demon blinked his big black eyes, wrinkled his nose and sniffed, with a shocked face: "It's really a little similar to the taste on Lord Bi Fang's body!" ”

Xie Zheng glanced down at him, thinking that the little deer demon had awakened the bloodline of the god beasts, and judged that it should not be wrong, so he accelerated the speed under his feet and ran all the way to the area covered by the divine fire.

However, as soon as he got closer, he heard the sound of Akira and Bi Fang arguing.

"This fire is a threat to me, it makes me very uncomfortable, and I can't walk a little, you hurry up and carry me!"

Crispy and sweet, like a fresh spirit melon, this is Zhaozhao's voice.

"Don't scratch my hair! Are you looking for death? ”

Angry, and a little painful, this is Bi Fang's voice.

"Suzaku is obviously of the same origin as you, why is his Nanming so angry from the fire?" As he spoke, Zhao Zhao's voice also carried a little anger.

Bi Fang sneered: "My divine fire is also good for you, it's just that I deliberately let you go on weekdays." ”

……

The sound of the two bickering spread farther and farther, and the big words 'Nanming Lihuo' and 'Suzaku' lingered in her mind.

After a long time, Xie Zheng asked a little strangely, "In your demon world, are there still living Vermilion Birds?" ”

Furry shook his head: "No, there are very few ancient divine beasts like Lord Bi Fang and Lord Kunpeng. ”

At this, he paused sharply, and his voice sounded a lot more excited.

"But in recent years, like Xiaolu, there are not a few people who have atavistic ancestors or awakened the bloodline of divine beasts."

After that catastrophe that almost wiped out the race, the entire demon world withered and no longer had the glory of the past, but with the passage of time, the scars caused by the disaster gradually healed, and the demon clan began to move in a better direction.

But... As soon as he saw Nanming leaving the fire under his feet, he lowered his head again, and his little face was full of frustration and sadness.

Because he found that the demon world is not really getting better, and the disaster seems to be coming back to the demon land.

Xie Zheng sighed, summoned another giant sword that was not used very often, and then threw the two little cubs up, controlling the sword, following her all the way, and continuing deep into the Southern Styx Valley.

"The heavenly fire that covered the South Styx Valley before, I don't know where it came from, it may be a heavenly punishment that descended, but Nanming Lihuo is the companion divine fire of the Vermilion Bird Divine Beast, does this mean that there are Vermilion Bird cubs born in the South Styx Valley?"

Furry struggled to keep up with Xie Zheng's rhythm, racking her brains to think about her words, and then nodded: "When I was a child, I read ancient books about the records of divine beasts, and when a divine beast like Suzaku was born, it was indeed accompanied by Nanming Lihuo. ”

Receiving the affirmation of a local demon clan, Xie Zheng was a little excited in his heart.

Good fellow, it's time to witness the birth of a mythical beast again!

The farther they walked towards the center of the South Stygian Valley, the more ferocious the fire became, and they couldn't see anything at all, and they hung in the air, really unable to see anything.

She frowned, and was about to take the two little cubs into the small world of Sumeru and go down to see for herself, but she didn't expect the little deer demon to sniff, pull the corners of her clothes, and say in a milky voice: "My lord, can I try to extinguish this fire?" ”

Xie Zheng was stunned for a moment and asked, "The talent of the gods and beasts is related to water?" ”

The little deer demon scratched his head, looking a little shy: "Actually, Fu Zhu is a fierce beast, which is different from the Rui beasts of Lord Bi Fang and Lord Kunpeng. ”

Xie Zheng: "......"

She patted the deer demon on the shoulder, raised her lips and smiled, "Then what are you waiting for?" It's up to you, fawn! ”

Xie Zheng doesn't care so much, it doesn't matter what kind of fierce beast he is, those who can work for the well-being of the people are good beasts!

With her affirmation and encouragement, the little deer demon's eyes lit up, watery, and more and more cute.

He stood on the giant sword, clenched his small fists, stared at the sea of fire under his feet, as if he was holding back something, and after a while, his brows were furrowed, and his little face was red.

Seeing this, Xie Zheng thought that the deer was still too young to invoke the innate supernatural powers of the gods and beasts, which was also very normal, and just wanted to persuade him.

A drop of cold rain suddenly dripped into my eyes.

Xie Zheng: "? ”

Before she could react, the pouring rain suddenly fell from the sky, and before she could touch the protective barrier, she was drenched into soup in the blink of an eye.

Different from ordinary rain, this rain is not only thick and dense, but also has an indescribable extreme cold.

The fire below began to be extinguished by this heavy rain at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The rain lasted for half an hour, but the coverage was limited, and only the Nanming Fire within a radius of a few miles was extinguished, revealing the dark and bare ground.

and a few bottomless fissures.
