Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Witch Spirit King
"Senior brother, it seems that this Soul Eater Beast has really been greatly reduced, only that Divine Witch Spirit King can be domesticated, and ordinary Wu people can't be domesticated. ”
Zhao Mi looked at the backs of the three grandchildren and said.
Yang Huo nodded.
"That makes sense why we haven't encountered a Soul Eater all the way, and I suspect that this Divine Witch Spirit King wanted to wait until everyone was close to the central area of the Desolate Heaven Realm before he released the Soul Eater. ”
"But there is still a little doubt, why did this old man attack us for no reason, and why did that little girl hide the fact that she had seen monks from other realms?"
Lei Ming said aside.
"yes, I don't understand it either, why don't we go along and have a look?"
Yang Huo was a little unwilling to leave the small plain, and had always wanted to see what was hidden in the clouds, so he made such a suggestion at this time.
"I think it's better to forget it, in case the old man attacks us again, in the previous environment, we are very passive, if something happens, it will be too worthless, we haven't seen the face of the soul eater yet." ”
Zhao Mi is still relatively cautious.
"It's okay senior sister, let's take a look around first, I always suspect that most of the clouds and mist in that place were condensed by the old man just now with a spell, otherwise, wouldn't it be a lot of inconvenience for them to live in such an environment?"
Yang Huo put forward his own opinions and insisted on going to see what was going on.
"This ...... Okay, then let's observe in the vicinity first, and we shouldn't venture in. ”
Zhao Mi still obeyed Yang Huo's words.
The three of them quietly followed behind the three grandparents in front of them, slowly approaching the small plain.
After a short time, I had reached the edge of the small plain, and I saw that the clouds and mist there had dissipated a lot, and the thin clouds had risen a few feet away from the ground, and the ground at this time could already be seen more clearly, and some pale yellow sunlight shone in many places.
The three of them couldn't help but glance at each other, this was indeed very different from the previous situation. I don't know if it's the normal change of the natural environment here, or if the old man has removed the magic control of the clouds.
Continuing on the plain, on the slightly undulating ground, there appeared a village of a hundred and ten houses, but it was surprisingly quiet, like a deserted no-man's land, but the houses were clearly in good condition, and there was no sign of abandonment.
The three of them followed the ancestors and grandsons in front of them into the village, and not long after entering the village, the old man suddenly flashed out from the back of a house, blocking the way of the three of them.
"Why, you're not afraid of death?"
The old man said coldly.
Yang Huo smiled slightly, not afraid.
"Your Excellency, we are just trying to figure out some issues, and we don't want to have any conflict with you, unless you are still attacking us inexplicably, as you did before. But I can tell you the truth, I have not used all my strength before, and if you use any more means, I will certainly not be polite to you. ”
The old man was silent when he heard this, but just looked at Yang Huo.
"What the hell are you trying to figure out? If you're looking for a Soul Eater, then I'm telling you, there's none. ”
The old man finally spoke.
"I believe what you say, but it's not what I want to figure out, I just ask you, why did you use tactics against us before, and now you can stand and talk to us as if nothing happened?"
When the old man heard this, he fell silent again, and his expression became cloudy, as if he had some hidden worries and some helplessness. After a while, he spoke.
"It doesn't hurt to tell you the truth, since the Divine Witch Spirit King became the high priest of his clan, the village has to contribute a villager to the Spirit King every three years, and feed his Soul Eater Beast with the life souls of the villagers, if I can catch a few of you, can't I use you to contribute to the Spirit King?"
As soon as these words came out, the three of them were stunned, first, they couldn't imagine that this so-called Divine Witch Spirit King was so brutal, and second, it turned out that the old man's purpose of attacking him was like this.
But why did that little girl hide that she had seen other human realm monks, could it be that other human realm monks had already broken into this place before, and were caught by this old man as a sacrifice to the god and witch spirit king?
Yang Huo felt that it was not unreasonable, after all, this village was very close to the teleportation point of the Zhengyang Sect, maybe the people from the Zhengyang Sect had already been here.
But even so, I can't take care of this idle matter, because this village is actually not so quiet, occasionally you can see some people walking around as if they are lively, most of them are immortal cultivators, although the Tao is not high, but the ghost knows what strange means they have.
Moreover, I am not here to meddle in my own affairs, and with this kung fu, it is better to go to the Soul Eater Beast.
"Haha, I didn't expect Your Excellency to be so honest, well, we have figured out what is going on, and we have no intention of staying here longer, so we will leave. ”
Yang Huo said and made a mockery to the old man, looked at Zhao Mi and Lei Ming, signaled the two to leave, and turned around to leave first.
Unexpectedly, when the three of them turned around, there was a sudden sound of "hmm, hmm" not far away, it seemed that someone was covering their mouths and was calling for help, and listening to the voice, one of them was still a woman.
The three of them couldn't help but stop and looked back towards the place where the voice came from.
As far as the eye can see, there are people imprisoned in the footings of a house, because the houses in this village are all elevated, and there is a barrier several feet high between the floor and the ground, and the floor is supported by dense piles of wood, which form a cage-like space.
At this moment, two figures were sitting in the corner of the isolation floor of a room, asking Yang Huo and the others for help. Although he can't see it clearly, judging by his clothes, he is a monk in the human world.
The three of them couldn't help but glance at each other.
As for the old man, he suddenly looked very vigilant, and those who were walking around all stopped and looked at Yang Huo's side, obviously, they were also on guard to prevent Yang Huo and others from saving people.
Yang Huo shook his head lightly at Zhao Mi and Lei Ming, signaling the two not to interfere, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble. Although Zhao Mi had the idea of saving these two realm cultivators, Yang Huo disagreed, even if Lei Ming would help her, with the strength of her and Lei Ming, she was afraid that she would not be able to save people, so she had to acquiesce to Yang Huo's meaning.
The three of them turned around again and walked out of the village.
Behind them, the two Human Realm monks were still crying out for help, and they were louder, and it was clear that they were on the verge of despair.
"Senior brother, those two realm cultivators will definitely be sent to the Divine Witch Spirit King to feed the Soul Eater Beast, can we just see death and not save it?"
After leaving the village for some distance, Zhao Mi couldn't help but say.
"Otherwise, we're here to get the Soul Eater Pill, and we don't have time to waste on saving people. ”
Yang Huo said directly.
"But...... Isn't that a little cruel, there's a girl in there? ”
"Senior sister, forget it, we may not be able to rescue them, don't you see that there are other monks in the village?"
"I saw it, but I think that with the skills of my junior brother, I can rescue them, so let's save them, okay?"
Zhao Mi is still kinder, her heart is softer, when she arrives in this supreme realm, the monks of the human realm are the same kind, and she has an indescribable feeling of sympathy.
In fact, Yang Huo also has it, after all, this ghost place is not the territory of the human world, and people who had nothing to do with the human world before seemed to have some kind of relationship when they arrived here.
But he couldn't do that, it was a risk, and he didn't want to risk it for someone he had never met.
