Chapter 435: Deep
Looking from afar, the demon capital is like a forest, countless demon towers are all over the land within a radius of 100 miles, up to 10 zhang to more than 100 zhang, the thickness is uneven, it seems quite slender, the top of the demon tower is built with the lair of the flying demon, the foot is the hole of the demon soldiers, and there are many different demon weapons hanging in the middle.
The unclean qi was full of it, and it was about the same concentration as the Demon Cloud Arrow after the explosion, and the whole area was gray, when Mu Xingqiu flew over from the side, except for the demon towers of different heights, he couldn't see anything, even Tianmu could only see the scene within more than ten miles.
The once prosperous Baizhang City, which was set as the demon capital by the Giant Demon King because of its auspicious name, is now drowning in a lot of demonic energy, and Mu Xingqiu didn't see it at a glance.
"It will take at least a thousand years to get rid of the uncleanness here. The dragon demon pointed to the nearest demon tower, "These towers are capable of generating a steady stream of unclean qi and injecting some of it into the ground. ”
"Why aren't there demon soldiers stationed there?" Mu Xingqiu carefully observed, the lair on the tower and the cave under the tower did not look like there were demons living in it.
"The demon soldiers are just supplements, they are not needed here. ”
As soon as the dragon demon finished speaking, more than a dozen demon towers suddenly flashed red light at the same time, connecting into one, like a huge eye, staring at the passers-by, until they gradually walked away, during which the dragon demon kept holding the clutch of Lao Jun, it was like a pass pass, relieving the vigilance of the demon tower.
Hundreds of miles northwest of Baizhang City is the hometown of Lao Zufeng, now known as the "Demon Mountain Pass", there are demon towers along the way, but the middle section of the road is relatively sparse, but the deployment of demon soldiers is more, and the inspection is more rigorous, a qiē matter is handled by the dragon and demon, she is proficient in almost all the languages of the demon clan, often a few roars or screams can pass the pass, Mu Xingqiu, who was wearing a Taoist uniform, was obviously regarded as a prisoner, and did not attract too much interrogation.
"You've learned a lot over the years. Mu Xingqiu said.
The dragon demon smiled. is completely different from Fang Fang, who is reserved to the point of being a little shy, she does not hide the joy in her heart at all, her face is always full of smiles, and she seems to like to reunite with Mu Xingqiu very much, "Of course, I found that the language of the demon clan is very easy to learn, and they are also very easy to deal with." ”
"You like the demon clan very much?"
The night was deep, and even the demon soldiers and the demon tower seemed to be resting, and the two rarely met again, and the dragon demon approached Mu Xingqiu. Flying side by side with him, "Why do you have to choose between a demon and a human, can't I like you and a demon at the same time?"
"Because the hatred between humans and demons is not shared, sooner or later there will be a life-and-death battle, if I play against a certain demon you like, what will you do?"
"I will advise you to stop, if you don't listen, I have no choice but to let you fight, I will just watch. Then I will read a eulogy in the language of the deceased. The dragon demon did not have the slightest hesitation or contradiction in her heart, everything was extremely simple in her eyes, and suddenly she smiled, "If you die." I'll read "The General's Line" to you, but unfortunately I can't sing it. ”
Even the life and death that humans and demons care about the most, she has no taboos.
"You want to rescue the Nian Xin Ke heir in the Demon Extraction Cave, right?" Mu Xingqiu had always had this doubt in his heart, according to Zuo Liuying's speculation. True Illusion was created by the Mind Science Spell, the purpose of which was to rescue those prisoners one day, "They have been dead for a long time. Only the soul remains, and half a step away from the cave will immediately scatter the soul. ”
The dragon demon smiled proudly, "I know what you think in your heart, but you don't know anything about me, so you think it's unfair, don't you?" Hehe, you still don't guess, I won't leak the secret in advance, that won't do you any good, and it will only harm me." Become stronger, and when the time comes, the truth will naturally be in front of you, and I'm afraid that when the time comes, you will feel that it's better not to know the truth. ”
Mu Xingqiu didn't ask any further, he just wanted to do his best to rescue Yang Qingyin and the others, he had already flown as fast as he could, but in the environment of unclean qi, his speed was only less than half of his usual speed.
In the afternoon of the next day, the two finally arrived at the Demon Mountain Pass, and if they wanted to go to the territory of the spirit demon, they had to pass through an area densely covered with demon towers and unclean qi, and there was no other way. Mu Xingqiu couldn't fly, the two landed on foot, and soon arrived at a sentry post, Lao Jun's clutches and the language of the demon clan were still unimpeded, and they even received a blood-eyed demon horse as a mount.
The appearance of the blood-eyed demon horse is not much different from that of ordinary horses, but the eyes are red, but the habits are very different, they only eat raw meat, they are happy at night, they are languishing during the day, and they run extremely fast, but they are not very stable.
After riding a horse for dozens of miles, there were more and more demon guard posts, and the inquiries became more and more detailed, and there were often flying demons who suddenly fell from the sky and circled above the heads of the two before leaving.
"The smell of Taoist priests on your body is too strong, and many demon soldiers have noticed it. ”
"I can pretend to be a demon soldier. ”
"No, you just don't squeak. ”
There are mountains in front of him, Mu Xingqiu knows that this place is not far from the hometown of the old ancestor, but he can't see the familiar scene at all, in addition to the dense demon tower, there are many demon fires of different colors, they have not been extinguished since they were lit, they are particularly eye-catching in the dark night, and there are bursts of heat waves in the distance.
On the way into the mountain, there is a huge barracks, and here, the two of them encounter stubborn obstacles, and the old king's clutches and the demon language are invalid.
The dragon demon negotiated with a large group of beast demons, and Mu Xingqiu couldn't understand a word of what he said, and after a long time, the dragon demon said to him: "No way, you have to stay here for one night, the giant demon king has just given an order, no matter who wants to enter the spirit demon territory, he must be allowed to do so in person, and I have to go to see him tomorrow morning." ”
The burrows here are dry and tidy, there are no insects crawling around, except for the lack of windows, which are no different from human dwellings, and there are also tables, chairs, bed cabinets and other furnishings.
Inside the cave is a demon fire candle, which illuminates the whole room as bright as day.
The dragon demon sat on the edge of the bed and said with a smile, "We have to live in a hole, because I told them that you were a captive of mine." ”
Mu Xingqiu had already guessed that he couldn't understand the language of the demon clan, but after careful observation, he could still guess the general meaning of what the dragon demon said through the expression on the face of the demon soldier.
"That's a good idea, doesn't you need to tie me up?"
"I'm a powerful new alien dragon demon, of course I don't need ropes, you see those demon soldiers believe in me. The dragon demon grinned, and kept looking at Mu Xingqiu, as if he couldn't get enough of it. "You are not as lively as you used to be, and you are not a talker. ”
"I've just finished a retreat that lasted more than five years, and sometimes I'm quiet. ”
"Well, I've heard about it, that's why I found Xiao Hao for you in the place of choosing disciples in Ranjing Mountain, I have a hunch that she will become a great Taoist priest, and Nian Xin will be truly revived in her hands. ”
Mu Xingqiu hadn't seen Duan Caihao's potential for the time being, and he didn't want to discuss this matter, "There are still two hours before dawn. I want to make a memory. ”
"Okay, Nedan won't become stronger on his own, he does need to practice from time to time, you think, I want to sleep. The dragon demon said that she would sleep and fell on the bed with the quilt rolled up on her body, the candle went out automatically, and soon her breathing became weak and smooth.
Half an hour later, Mu Xingqiu woke up from his thoughts on time.
He is already in the old place of Pang Mountain. And recognize the exact location of the barracks, which is where it was used in the past, the village has been completely razed, and the nearby mountain peaks have been transformed. But the general terrain has not changed, and the mountain path leading to Lao Zu Peak is still there.
Mu Xingqiu looked at the dragon demon who was sleeping soundly on all fours on the bed, and asked himself again when he should trust her.
Why are the dragon demons trusted by the demon clan, why do they know so many secrets, why are they able to communicate freely? So far, none of Xin Youtao's suspicions have been explained. Mu Xingqiu didn't ask, and the dragon demon never mentioned it, as if he felt that this trust was a matter of course.
Mu Xingqiu took out a thin incense four or five inches long. The aroma can make the dragon demon sleep more soundly, and from now on, he will be alone.
Intuitively, Mu Xingqiu still believed that the dragon demon would never harm him, but intellectually, Mu Xingqiu felt that it was better to be cautious.
Everything to dress up as a demon soldier was there, and Mu Xingqiu soon turned into a demonic half-demon soldier again, he left the cave and walked towards the mountain path, trying to stay away from the demon tower on the way, and avoiding all the demon fires.
He had to calculate the distance, and then use the Empty Escape Orb to directly enter the spirit demon territory, this move was likely to be discovered by the demon soldiers, but he couldn't care about it, if the ordinary demon clan was really afraid of the spirit demon, he would not chase it in.
There was a sound of wings flapping in the air, it was a group of patrolling flying demons passing by, Mu Xingqiu did not dodge or dodge, and walked forward calmly, the voice of the flying demon gradually faded away, and he did not come down to inquire.
This is already the hinterland of the demon clan, and in the absence of large soldiers, the vigilance of the demon soldiers is not particularly high.
But there are still dozens of demon soldiers guarding the entrance of the mountain path, one side of the intersection is a bright green demon fire, and the other side is a demon tower as high as more than 20 zhang, all kinds of demon weapons are hung on each floor of the demon tower, swaying gently like wind chimes, and some of them do make sounds, but they are not pleasant, like a group of ghosts whispering.
A fluffy demon head hanging by the tower stared at Mu Xingqiu from afar, its yellow-brown eyes reflected the bright green demon fire, and the strange light flickered, as if it was still alive.
The demon soldiers under the tower also noticed the half-demon walking alone, and a tall beast demon shouted in a less proficient human language: "Where's the meat? Are you the food for tonight? ”
"I want human flesh!" another beast demon who was also tall roared, "It has to be fresh human flesh, and I don't want to eat any more jerky." ”
The eyes of the demon heads on the tower began to turn, and as Mu Xingqiu approached, they turned faster.
Mu Xingqiu observed almost, he didn't need to enter the mountain path, there was an invisible demon barrier ten miles to the north, and the back was obviously the territory of the spirit demon, he only needed to make an empty escape to reach it, the only question was how powerful that demon barrier was, and whether he could cross it down the line.
The beast demons' jokes were not answered, which alerted them, and they took out their weapons one after another, and shouted to stop the comers.
Mu Xingqiu stopped dozens of steps away, holding the Void Escape Orb in his hand, ready to cast a spell.
At this moment, the bright green demon fire suddenly grew several times taller, and the many demon weapons on the demon tower were beating frantically, making noise, and the demon barrier ten miles away was no longer invisible, but turned into a sea of red fire, like a tall wall.
A red steed jumped out of the fire and stood in mid-air, neighing loudly.
