Chapter Fifty-Eight: Mt. Chiba
Mt. Chiba.
Although it is the depths of winter, Mt. Chiba is still verdant, and in a deep valley, there are even flowers of the four seasons.
Lu Qi swept over this valley and headed halfway up the mountain, where the demonic aura was at its peak.
The purple mist lingers on the mountainside, and among the shadows, you can see a huge banyan tree with lush leaves, and the demonic aura spreads from this banyan tree.
The roots of the banyan tree are like dragons, intertwined, and countless aerial roots hang down from the brown branches into the fertile soil, and are entangled with the rhizomes that emerge from the ground, supporting the huge old banyan tree.
The dense branches and leaves of the banyan tree cover the sky and the shadow of the sun, and the purple mist is thicker, and the sky is dark.
Lu Qi passed through the undulating curtain of air roots, and after circling the trunk of the banyan tree, he finally stopped.
On the cracked skin, there is an eye the size of a bowl, and I don't know what year the branch was broken.
Lu Qi thought for a moment, and suddenly kicked on the eye of the tree.
"Ouch......"
There was a strange cry in the eye of the tree, and the voice was old and rough.
When Lu Qi was about to kick out with his second kick, the tree eye said angrily: "Where did you come from, who doesn't know how to live or die, and dares to be presumptuous in the land of the Snow Treasure Demon King?"
The answer was Lu Qi's kick to the ground.
"Ouch...... You ......"
Lu Qi said in a deep voice: "Where is the Snow Bird Demon?"
As soon as the words fell, I saw that in the purple mist, countless qi roots suddenly rushed towards Lu Qi like a dislocation of muscles and bones, and instantly restrained him.
Only then did the old banyan tree speak: "Hmph, the Snow Treasure Demon King is also something you can see if you want to...... Ah......h
Before the banyan tree spirit finished speaking, he suddenly felt a cramp and broken bone pain swept through his limbs and bones, and he screamed incessantly, the huge banyan tree trembled, and the birds and birds hidden in the branches and leaves fled in all directions.
Tightly bound Lu Qi's qi root, it broke into thousands of pieces in the blink of an eye, and fell to the ground in a slur.
Lu Qi was still standing in place, with a hint of mockery on the corner of his mouth, and his voice was murderous, "Where is the Snow Bird Demon?"
The banyan tree spirit exclaimed in a hoarse voice: "You, you are a demon?"
Lu Qi's eyes swept a sharp glance at the banyan tree spirit, and it was clearly written in his cold pool-like eyes: You try nonsense again!
It is not easy to cultivate grass and trees, and this old banyan tree has rarely been looked down upon by the Snow Treasure Demon King in recent years, and it has been stained with a little demonic wind and evil spirit, and it has been able to become a refinement.
This big and small monster of Chiba Mountain, who sees it is not three points polite and seven points courteous, after all, as the house of the Snow Treasure Demon King, no one dares to offend it easily.
At this time, he was injured by the demon breath exuded by Lu Qi, and the banyan tree spirit, who had always been arrogant, was angry and afraid, seeing that the cold light in the man's eyes was even stronger, his mind turned a few times, and he hurriedly said: "This demon lord, you go back ten steps first, there is a sunken tree hole, you turn the snow spirit stone in the tree hole three times to the left, and the door of the snow treasure demon king's mansion will open." ”
Lu Qi took a few steps back, and sure enough, he saw a tree hole sunken in the ground at his feet, and the edge of the hole the size of a bowl was full of fallen leaves.
Lu Qi glanced at the banyan tree spirit, stretched out his foot and ran it in the tree hole a few times, only to hear a gentle squeak, the thick trunk of the banyan tree, from the eye of the tree, a crack for one person to enter and exit.
The crack was pitch black, and the purple mist lingered outside the trunk, as if it did not dare to float into the crack.
As the young master of the Demon Realm, Lu Qi has always been bold, he has never been anywhere, how can he be afraid of this little demon cave.
Calmly stepping into the crack of the tree, he lit a cluster of orange fireworks between his fingers, and as soon as he entered the darkness, the crack behind him quickly healed, and it was really like a room with a closed door.
At this time, the voice of the banyan tree spirit sounded: "Alas, I forgot to tell this demon lord that this Snow Treasure Demon King's mansion has come in, and it is not easy to get out, hehe!"
Lu Qi turned his head and looked behind him, the place he had just stepped in had turned into nothingness, and there was still a shadow of a banyan tree.
It was as if he was in a huge space, surrounded by endless darkness.
Lu Qi threw the fireworks on his fingertips upward, and the fireworks turned into a huge fireball with a "bulging" sound in mid-air.
The fireball hung in the air, like the sun in the sky, leaving the darkness with nowhere to hide.
Under his feet was the ground paved with snow spirit stones, snow-white and lush, reflecting the blazing fireball, and Lu Qi's dark robe.
If you look closely, you can faintly see the black shadows crisscrossing under the whiteness.
What Lu Qi didn't expect was that the edge of the snow spirit stone ground was connected to the vast snow field, all the way to the place where the fireball couldn't shine.
Above the fireball, countless crystal-clear icicles hung higher in the darkness, as if they were about to fall at any moment, skewering the people below from head to toe into a roasted whole lamb.
A soft smile suddenly came from the darkness, and then the icicles of different lengths were like soft rattans, intertwined with each other, turning into steps that stretched to Lu Qi's feet.
A girl in red walked down from the darkness, standing at the junction of light and dark, with a pair of enchanting and amorous apricot eyes, rippling with veins and spring water, and in the spring water, there is a hook that captures people's hearts.
It's a firefox demon.
The girl covered her mouth and smiled, and said, "I also said that those old guys from Chongyue Pavilion sent a bride, but I didn't expect a handsome son to come." ”
Lu Qi glanced at the Fire Fox Demon coldly and said, "Where is the Snow Bird Demon?"
The girl was stunned for a moment, and then smiled again: "Come to this Qianye Mountain, isn't it the Snow Treasure Demon King, this son, if you want to see the Demon King, please come with me." ”
Lu Qi thought for a while, then raised his feet and walked up the steps.
This thing that looks like an icicle, only to find out when you step on it, is actually not hard, but like stepping on a puddle of mud, if you are not careful, you will fall a dog and eat.
As Lu Qi climbed the stairs, the girl in red also turned around and walked into the darkness, but she still looked back at the handsome man behind her from time to time.
In the dark, the warm-colored glass lamps gradually lit up, and the higher they go, the denser the glass lamps become, floating high and low in the air, like the sky lanterns placed on the Shangyuan Festival.
After walking a short distance, you can clearly see the surrounding scene.
On the icicles on both sides of the steps, there are quietly crawling thousands of flowers, like a shy girl, peeping at her lover in secret.
The flowers are full of flowers and fragrant.
The girl covered her mouth and said: "These flower demons only come to join in the fun every year when the bride enters the door, and today I am afraid that I think the son is the beautiful girl who has just entered the door, and I want to compare the beauty." ”
Before seeing the Snow Bird Demon, Lu Qi was too lazy to bother with these little demons, so he ignored them for the moment and walked towards the end of the steps without squinting.
At the end of the steps, there is a courtyard with white walls and tiles, and the golden beast head ring on the door of the black lacquered courtyard is very similar to the style of a large family in the world.
It seems that even in the deep mountains and old forests, this snow hoof demon is quite exquisite.
The girl's slender fingers pinched the door knocker, and with three taps, the black lacquer courtyard door creaked and opened from the inside.
