Chapter 490: Ice Cave
The thick snow is eternal, as if it will never melt in the future.
Hundreds of spirit demons and ordinary demon clans fought for nearly a month, digging out an ice cave three hundred zhang deep, but they didn't even see the shadow of the soil, let alone the demon relics they had been waiting for for a long time.
King Jin stood on the high ground near the ice cave, the north wind was howling, and his body was soon covered with a layer of snow, and the breath exhaled from his nostrils turned into ice when it met the snow, and it was like a string of transparent whiskers on the side of his mouthβhorses had no beards, so it made him look a little funny.
"It's been a month, and I haven't seen the demon relics, and if it goes on like this, we'll all die. King Jin said, snorting his nose fiercely, shaking off the ice whiskers on his mouth.
A pillar of snow beside him shook twice, revealing the dragon demon inside, because of the cold, her cheeks were a little red, but her smile was still bright and bright, "Don't worry, if the demon relics were so easy to find, they wouldn't have been left until now, right?"
"If we could use spells, we would have dug the hole to the end a long time ago. King Jin moved his two front hooves, he had a body of divine power and all kinds of abilities, but he couldn't use them.
"There's no way, the things of the demons are somewhat spiritual, and they have been alone underground for a long time, and they don't like to be disturbed, and the spell will scare them away. β
King Jin has seen some demon relics, all of which are bones, ornaments, armor and the like, although they are widely used, but they have not revealed any spirituality, they are where they are, and they never move by themselves.
But King Jin only snorted softly, and did not open his mouth to argue, in the entire team, only the dragon demon could detect the location of the demon relic - at least she claimed it - except to continue digging holes, no one could judge whether her words were accurate or not.
A sandalwood goat spirit demon clumsily crawled out of the hole with a diameter of three feet, facing the wind and snow, and walked with difficulty to a snow hut, he was too tired and needed to rest for a while.
"You should have everyone turn into human form and make some tools. Cooperate with each other to dig a hole faster. β
"Nope. King Jin bluntly refused, he has his own principles, unless necessary, never transform into human form, spirit demons are spirit demons, they must always maintain the form of their ancestors.
The dragon demon shrugged his shoulders and did not continue to persuade the stubborn Jin King, "I have a hunch that there will be a miracle today." Call me when you dig something, I'm going to ......" The dragon demon yawned widely.
Around the ice cave is a ring of igloos, half of which are above ground and the other half underground, typical of the Demon Clan.
There was already a person in the igloo that the dragon demon had entered, the only human in a group of demon clans.
Yang Qingyin looked at the pure white wall in a daze, as if thinking about an extremely complex and incomprehensible problem.
The dragon demon walked over and gently pressed Yang Qingyin's shoulders with both hands, "Are you thinking about the past again?"
"Nope. Memories give me a headache and I just feel ...... It seems that someone is digging a big hole in my heart, and the deeper I dig, the more I can't dig the end. β
"You're tired. The last time you were in the cave for three days, don't be so desperate, you can do it in time. The dragon demon pushed Yang Qingyin to the side of the bed and asked her to sit down.
The so-called bed is a slightly higher snow platform. Covered with a layer of hay and a whole bearskin.
Yang Qingyin still looked like he was in a state of despair, and muttered, "I have to do something, otherwise I will think more." That hole in my heart will also be deeper. β
"Sleep, don't think about it, no matter who digs the hole in your heart, it will come to an end eventually, sleep......"
Yang Qingyin closed his eyes and leaned on the dragon demon's shoulder, his breathing gradually becoming steady and slow.
The dragon demon helped Yang Qingyin to lie on the animal skin, stood up and stared at her for a while, his expression was as gentle as water, as if he was watching his child fall asleep, "It's always lucky to have a true heart, even if it has been dug a big hole." β
The dragon demon quietly walked to the door, revealing half of her body, looking at the back of King Jin and the ice cave that was still digging deep, raising her right hand and pressing her heart, after a while, her palm, clothes and flesh and bones became transparent, revealing a crystal heart, unlike the heart of a living person, it would not beat.
The dragon demon didn't look at her heart from beginning to end, and after a long time, she lowered her arm, and her heart returned to normal, "It's time to end." She said that the moment she stepped out of the igloo and into the icy snow, she disappeared, and a few shallow footprints quickly appeared on the snow, which was soon covered by the wind and snow.
The whole camp was unaware of this.
King Jin was engrossed in the ice cave in front of him, his muscles tensed, and he had a clear premonition in his heart, which came not only from good expectations, but also from the slight tremor coming from the depths of the snow.
The trembling was very regular, like the breath of a sleeping person, King Jin unconsciously aligned with it, and the premonition became stronger and stronger, he couldn't bear it anymore, and was about to run to the entrance of the cave, and a demon jumped out of it.
The beast demon didn't crawl out by himself, and he couldn't fly, he was thrown out by the other demons, and he fell to the ground with a bang, and rolled over, his face full of ecstasy.
"Dig up the ......" Lao Bang muttered to himself, as if he couldn't believe it.
"Dig it. Lao Bang said to King Jin, his voice trembling a little.
"Dig it! haha, his grandmother's, it's finally dug up!" the old man roared, shaking the surrounding igloo and dropping large pieces of wall skin.
The demon clans who were resting ran out one after another and gathered towards the entrance of the cave.
"What did you dig up? bones or armor?" King Jin was the first to run to the entrance of the cave, looking down, only to see many demon clans walking towards him along the spiral steps on the cave wall, dozens of winged spirit demons flying on the top, all with smiles on their faces, but they didn't dare to make a loud noise, they had been reminded many times to be careful in the cave, not to alarm the buried things.
The old bump turned around a few times, and after standing still, he said, "I don't know, it's a big guy anyway." β
King Jin's heart settled, the most important blind material for the Demon Transformation Pill was finally available, he saw the light, and the entire Spirit Demon Clan also had hope.
The demon clan in the cave came up one after another, all of them were relieved, but no one could tell what they had dug up, they had been ordered to come out immediately after discovering the demon relics, and they were not allowed to dig without authorization.
The last one to come up was a brocade-tailed stallion, covered with ice chips, and walking a little shaky, and came to the king of brocade. Nodding majestically, "I dug it, it seems to be a whole set of armor, please go down and check it out." β
King Jin also nodded, turned around and looked for the dragon demon in the demon group, she is an expert, she can identify the type of demon relics at a glance, but the dragon demon is not there, and the only human Yang Qingyin is not there. They may still be resting, not hearing the cries of the old bang. King Jin jumped and flew above the entrance of the cave, "Please wait for me here, I think we succeeded this time, but don't make too much noise until the demon relics are completely dug up." β
More than 300 demons waited around the entrance of the cave, and although they remained silent, they all looked happy for a whole month. Hungry in the barren snowy region, the snow barely stopped, and their digging work did not stop for a moment, and they could not cast their sorcery. You can't use too much force, just dig down little by little, all for this moment.
"We've dug things up, so it's time to let us go, right?" said the beast demon boss. He had already lowered his voice, but it was still far away, and all the demons could hear it.
There were more than 200 spirit demons and more than 100 ordinary demons at the scene. The latter was a captive, and he was taken all the way from Pangshan to here, and he regarded this excavation as his last mission.
The spirit demon didn't speak, he was tall, looked around at the demons, and continued: "Give me a word, it took more than a month to walk here from Pangshan, and it took another month to dig a hole, and every day I was given a piece of dried meat and a few balls of snow, which is worse than the treatment of human slaves, I can have enough of it." β
"And you can't go any further north. A demon soldier captive behind Lao Bang said, with a hint of horror on his monkey-like face, "I heard that there is something evil in the north, and the demon clan there is fleeing to the south. β
Lao Bang frowned, kicked the demon soldier away, he was a real demon, even if it was useful to himself, he didn't accept it, "Nonsense, isn't it just some 'Bingkui', that's all the story of the snow demon deception, they can't beat other tribes, and they are embarrassed to admit it, so they say that there is something strange in the north." Fart, we're demons, we're 'evil things', what's so scary?"
The old man was big-headed and short-tempered, and he often fought when he was a prisoner, no demon soldier dared to argue with him, and the spirit demon didn't know the rumors of the demon clan, and he didn't care too much, they still kept silent and strictly obeyed King Jin's orders.
Lao Bang walked towards a two-horned sandalwood spirit demon, this spirit demon is very old, is one of King Jin's right-hand men, "In the end, we haven't caused a little trouble along the way, and we have used all our strength when digging holes, whether to kill or release, you should also give a letter." β
Tan Yang glanced at the surrounding spirit demons, they had an absolute advantage, not only more in number, but also stronger in strength, "The demon can go, the demon pill has to stay." β
Not all demon clans can give birth to demon pills, after leaving Pang Mountain, the spirit demons went all the way north, grabbing and releasing on the way, and now these hundred captives have demon pills without exception.
Lao Bang is a beast demon, born with a demon pill, hearing this, he subconsciously held his left wrist with his right hand - the wrist bone is his demon pill, "No, hand over the demon pill, won't we all become fools?"
The sandalwood spirit demon said in a resentful tone: "It was you who forced us to eat the demon pill, and it was you who stopped supplying it, and now that we have the demon relics and the demon pill, we can make the demon pill by ourselves." β
Lao Bang raised his hand and scratched his short and thick hair inexplicably, "When did we force you?"
"You are the subordinates of the Giant Demon King, and you have to take responsibility for what he has done. β
"I can take responsibility, but I will never hand over the demon pill unless you kill me. The old man clenched his fists.
The sandalwood spirit demon slashed twice on the snow with one of his front hooves, and although they had dug an ice cave together, he still had a grudge against ordinary demons and didn't mind killing them.
The joyful atmosphere disappeared in an instant, and the two groups of demons were eyeing each other, and the battle of life and death was about to begin.
King Jin suddenly rushed out of the ice cave, stood in the air, looked at all the demons, and didn't notice that the two sides were facing each other nervously, "At the bottom of the cave is a demon clan. β
"What are the demons?" asked Lao Bang, even if he was killed, he wanted to know what he had worked so hard to dig up.
"A whole demon, wearing armor, and its body has not yet rotted. King Jin looked around, "Where is the dragon demon? Find her out, this demon is a bit weird." β
