Chapter 870: Crazy Demon
There was a man lying on his stomach in the meadow by the river, gulping down water like a wild beast, unconcerned about the noise he had triggered.
Although there have been no major wars in the years, the founders of the new town have not let their guard down, and they have placed a number of talismans in the woodland to make a sound when the demons arrive. The comer, probably very thirsty, did not flee or pay attention to the talisman, but ran to the river to drink.
Shen Xiuming led fifty or sixty young men to stop on the opposite bank, keeping a distance of more than 100 steps, and there were two Fu Gong masters in the team, all of whom obeyed his command.
Shen Xiuming didn't want to cause a senseless battle, if the other party was a disoriented demon clan, he was willing to show them the way, and even send some food, but he must not stay in the town.
The visitor was full, but did not look up, but stared blankly at the reflection in the river.
Shen Xiuming motioned to a talisman master to stop the talisman screaming in the woodland on the other side, and then said loudly: "This is Xijie Guoye Forest Town, where did Your Excellency come from and where are you going?"
Shen Xiuming said the same thing again, and the person who came finally raised his head, it was an old face, and his beard was unkempt, but he was not like the demon clan, he had neither pointed ears nor fangs.
"Where did you come from, where are you going?" the old man stood up, his tattered black robe looked like he had been wearing for a long time, covered with dust and straw sticks, "Good question, who am I, why do you want to come here?"
The old man was at a loss, staring at the reflection in the water again, and suddenly laughed, "Ah, I remembered, I was born from the devil, and naturally I want to go to the place of the demon king." ”
It's a half-demon.
Shen Xiuming immediately waved his hand and led everyone back, and the two talisman masters each held a few paper talismans in their hands, and quietly sacrificed them to enhance everyone's protection, and at the same time, they were also alerting the surroundings, and the nearest settlement to Yelin Town was twenty miles away. There are more and more powerful runes stationed there.
"There is nothing you need here. Shen Xiuming said coldly, after the battle of Wangshan, the half-demon is already very rare, and the few survivors are hiding, and the half-demon on the other side of the river is either crazy or has an important mission.
It was impossible for the reinforcements to arrive so quickly, and Shen Xiuming hoped that the half-demon was just passing by.
"Right here, right around the corner. The half-demon gestured as if he were listening.
"What is here?" Shen Xiuming asked, signaling the two talisman masters with his eyes not to act rashly, if the legend is to be believed. The whole town together is no match for the half-demons.
"Demon King, I've been looking for him for a long time, and the Demon King chose me, why did he abandon me again? Half-demon was not so much answering a question as he was talking to himself, he changed his voice, imitating the demon king speaking to him: "'Li Qingzhu, among the half-demons, you are the only one who is different. You have volunteered to become a demon, and your future is limitless. That's what he said, but where is he, and where is the future he promised me?"
Li Qingzhu's voice suddenly raised. Raising his head, his gaze was cold and ruthless, sweeping over the faces of dozens of people on the other side one by one, "Everyone." I want all the people here to stand in front of me, and the Demon King is hiding among you, immediately!"
A cold wind swept by. A thin layer of ice instantly formed on the surface of the river, and the weeds that flourished on both sides of the river quickly withered.
The two talisman masters were about to make a move, but Shen Xiuming stretched out his hand to stop them, and said to the other side: "The Demon King is not here, but since you want to check it, you can do it, please wait a minute, we will call the whole town over." ”
"None of them fall. ”
"No problem. ”
Shen Xiuming ordered everyone to call someone, and gave the two talisman masters a look, asking them to contact the nearby talisman masters or casual cultivators, they alone can't fight the half-demons, and they must do their best to find help.
He himself stayed to appease the half-demons.
Li Qingzhu is obviously crazy, Shen Xiuming knows the difference between a demon and a madman, the former looks normal on the outside, but the opinions he says are sensational, and the latter is just the opposite, the thoughts in his heart are very simple, but his appearance is sloppy.
Li Qingzhu had long forgotten all about his body, and could only think of it when he was extremely hungry and thirsty.
"Where did Mr. Li come from?" Shen Xiuming asked in a harmonious voice, hoping to ease the half-demon's feelings, and his mission was to ensure that there were no casualties in Yelin Town.
Li Qingzhu didn't answer, pacing back and forth by the river, every time he turned around, he was very abrupt, always his head turned first, and then his body, and his action of crossing the river was even more unexpected: his whole body turned into a puff of black smoke, and he flew over the river in an instant and a distance of more than a hundred steps, and when he arrived in front of Shen Xiuming, his head came out first, and his body was still smoke-like.
"Who are you?"
"My name is Shen Xiuming, and I am the guard of Yelin Town. Shen Xiuming said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"Yelin Town?" Li Qingzhu's body appeared, and he suddenly knelt in front of Shen Xiuming, not in the kind of kneeling posture of kowtowing, but like a puppy that was not a few months old, his whole body curled up in a ball, and he was extremely interested in the various smells around him, especially the smell of humans.
Shen Xiuming didn't move, such a scene was weird, but he didn't move, it was stupid to provoke a powerful madman, and there was no point in being humble.
The first batch of residents of the town arrived, and Shen Xiuming waved his hand lightly behind him, signaling them to stop far away and not come.
Li Qingzhu sniffed on the ground, crawled around Shen Xiuming, slowly straightened up, sniffed the human body more carefully, and muttered in his mouth: "Wonderful taste, only the demon king has this taste, why don't you come out to see me, I am your loyal servant, I am willing to go to the soup for you, I will use all the human beings and demon clans in the world to carry out physical sacrifices, and dedicate all the power to you, as long as you give an order, the demon king ......"
Shen Xiuming felt creepy, his body seemed to be crawling with hundreds of caterpillars, and his body was even more stiff.
The residents of the town almost arrived, and the five children who were digging a pit in the school hall also arrived, wanting to rush to Daddy Shen's side, but were dragged by the adults.
Li Qingzhu suddenly jumped up, took three steps back, and the expression on his dirty face changed suddenly, "You, it's you, you're the Demon King!"
Shen Xiuming's first reaction was to refute this ridiculous statement, his mouth just opened, but his heart changed his mind, "Hmm...... I don't know what a demon king is. ”
"Demon King, you are the Demon King...... Li Qingzhu couldn't listen to other people's words at all, his body was out of control, one moment turned into black smoke, and the other he was in human form, "But you haven't awakened yet, it's been more than ten years, why does the Demon King still refuse to wake up? Where have all the demon seeds gone? Haven't they already escaped from the void and have freedom?"
Li Qingzhu flew into the air, his body was half empty and half solid, "Life and death successively, the demon seed is passed on forever, the great demon king is here, where is the seed of ten thousand demons?"
Li Qingzhu's voice was full of madness, and the residents in the distance retreated in horror, only the Fu Master stayed at the front, including five reinforcements from nearby villages and towns, who teleported through the talisman facilities that had already been set up, and when they saw the half-demon from a distance, they knew that he was not easy to deal with, so they sent more and farther rescue messages, and they didn't want to do it until the necessary moment.
"Where is the seed of ten thousand demons?" Li Qingzhu asked again, and there was silence all around, "Only I heard your call, please rest assured that the Demon King, I will definitely wake you up, there are not many humans here, but it is enough." ”
Shen Xiuming sensed the danger and hurriedly shouted: "Stop!" But he was still a step too late, and the smoke part of Li Qingzhu's body stretched out hundreds of thin smoke-like lines, reaching out to everyone at an extremely fast speed, including Shen Xiuming.
The rune masters can no longer sit idly by, and at the same time, some people are responsible for strengthening the protection, and some are responsible for attacking, over the years, Long Bin will spend a lot of effort to train the fighting skills of the rune masters, so that their cooperation is very tacit.
Three arrows born out of thin air accurately shot the half-demon, the crowd just let out a cheer, then found that something was wrong, the arrow slowly pierced into the half-demon's body, as if attracted, deeper and deeper, and finally drilled out from the other side, lost all the strength, and flew out of more than ten steps before disappearing.
At the same time, hundreds of smoke lines were easily piercing the talisman protections, and some people turned and ran towards the town, only to run headlong into an unseen obstacle.
"Stupid human beings, small human beings, give me your life and achieve greater demon kings, this is your honor, and it is also the meaning of your existence......"
The talisman masters kept offering talismans, but for the half-demon, the spells of several low-level talisman masters were too weak, and he didn't even deliberately block them, so he let the spells drill into his body and absorb all the power in them.
The smoke line finally fell on the heads of hundreds of human beings, the talisman masters let go of their hands, and the paper talisman floated away with the wind, they were also ordinary people, under the influence of the demon magic, they lost their control over themselves, fear, doubt, cowardice, impatience and so on were endlessly injected into the hearts of everyone, and the weak-willed were the first to kneel, followed by others.
Shen Xiuming insisted for a long time, but he also knelt down, and there was an urge to beg for mercy in his heart, and he wanted to complain to everyone he knew, why did Xin Youtao and Yang Qingyin miss this half-demon in the first place? Why didn't they rush to help now? What about Mu Xingqiu? Where is he?
He desperately suppressed these impulses, unwilling to give in too soon.
The wooden box in Shen Xiuming's arms fell to the ground, and Li Qingzhu in the air found it after a while, and stopped chanting the demon mantra, "What is this?"
The lid of the box opened automatically, and the pieces of paper inside flew up in a line, some burning into ashes, and some rising higher and higher.
Shen Xiuming looked at these pieces of paper in surprise, and Li Qingzhu in the air was even more surprised, "Why can't I feel the storage of spells?"
"Because it's not a spell. A voice said.
Li Qingzhu was taken aback again, and looked at the crowd in the distance, most of them had already knelt down, or even lying on the ground, or begging for life, or crying bitterly, all of them had been firmly controlled by his spell, but there were five exceptions, five children to be exact, who were so short that the half-demon didn't notice at first that only they were still standing.
The voice came from a child.
"Finally came out, Mu Xingqiu will really choose a place, this is his hometown, right? If you two have no opinion, let this guy go to me." ”
The sound came from somewhere above the child's head.
