Chapter 450: Slaughter City
On the afternoon of the second day after entering the demon clan's territory, Mu Xingqiu experienced the first pain caused by the demon transformation.
At that time, the four of them and a unicorn were flying in the air, and Zuo Liuying did not use the teleportation technique - teleporting under the shroud of unclean qi was very dangerous, and no one could be sure if the place where it reappeared was a hexical trap, and it was okay to be forced to use it when fleeing, but there was no need to risk it when traveling normally. The flea carried Artemisia and was excited about the ability to fly that he had not been able to fly for a long time, and ostentatiously flickered back and forth, without stopping for a moment, and Artemisia was not tired of this, and always encouraged the fleas to run faster.
Fleas swept over Mu Xingqiu's head like the wind, the steely hooves almost clinging to the bun, and in the blink of an eye, it was already a few feet away, Mu Xingqiu wanted to laugh, but the mana that had been running freely in the meridians suddenly stagnated, and it was extremely short, but it interrupted his laughter and the spell he was casting.
Flying is also a spell, although he stepped on the magic sword under his feet, Mu Xingqiu only needed to use a small amount of mana, but Mita's cooperation was still not chaotic, and the interruption of mana made this extremely simple spell fall into chaos, he continued to fly forward, but the altitude was gradually decreasing, even if the mana was running normally, he still couldn't control the spell freely.
Xiao Qingtao found an abnormality, "Brother Xiaoqiu, you ......"
She stretched out her hand to help, but Zuo Liuying on the other side opened her mouth to stop, "Don't worry about him." ”
Note that the opinion of the Taoist priest will not be wrong, Xiao Qingtao immediately withdrew his arm, his eyes kept following Mu Xingqiu, Zuo Liuying also kept a close eye, he flew directly in the air, without the use of imperial weapons, but at this time he took out an iron ruler, as if he was guarding against something.
Mu Xingqiu was still trying to control the spell, smiled at Xiao Qingtao, and did not speak.
The flea flew back with Artemisia on its back.
"Are you going to land and rest?" asked Artemisia suspiciously, "I'm not tired at all." ”
Xiao Qingtao shrugged at Xiao Hao gently, and then felt more and more uncomfortable, the magic weapons on the feet of the Taoist priest when he flew were all illusions, and the illusion of the Frost Soul Sword was flickering. It will dissipate at any time. When he was more than ten zhang from the ground, Xiao Qingtao's premonition was realized, the sword shape disappeared, and Mu Xingqiu planted himself on the ground.
Xiao Qingtao reacted very quickly, and immediately reached out to help, but was opened by an iron ruler, it turned out that Zuo Liuying took out the magic weapon for this.
Mu Xingqiu fell quickly, Zuo Liuying followed, and Xiao Qingtao wanted to support him several times, but was stopped by an iron ruler or a gaze. The flea thought that this was a competition, and also accelerated to the ground, and ran to the front, stopped at the last moment, its four hooves were about half a foot off the ground, it raised its head proudly, only to hear a bang, Mu Xingqiu had fallen heavily to the ground.
They flew along an official road, and there was not even a single grass on the ground. Mu Xingqiu's fall was a real one, and there was no buffer at all. Under Zuo Liuying's stop, Xiao Qingtao didn't stretch out her hand until the end.
Mu Xingqiu lay on the ground for a while and jumped up. smiled at Xiao Qingtao and said, "I'm fine." ”
Zuo Liuying put away the iron ruler and took out a condensing orb, "You don't call it 'okay' like this, you promised to report all the experiences in the process of turning demons to the Dao Tong." Let's get started. ”
Xiao Qingtao then remembered that Zuo Liuying also had an identity, a demon observer assigned by the Dao Commander.
Mu Xingqiu took a deep breath. "On the third day of taking the Demon Transformation Pill—" He glanced at Zuo Liuying and added, "To be exact, two days, ten hours, and three quarters of an hour, when I was flying in the air hundreds of feet above the ground, the mana in the meridians suddenly stagnated, and it was extremely short, and it quickly returned to normal, but after that, it was very difficult for me to control the spell. The problem should have appeared in the Mud Pill Palace, and I felt pain an inch or two inward in my left eyebrow, maybe it was this pain that led to my thoughts about the spell that could not be transmitted to the Jiang Palace, and the pain gradually weakened, but it was still ......"
Mu Xingqiu described it in great detail, but Zuo Liuying was still not satisfied, "What about Nedan?"
"Both Nedan are working normally. ”
Zuo Liuying asked a few more questions, during which he took out the bronze mirror and took a picture of Mu Xingqiu's whole body several times, until he had no more questions, "You decide, should we continue to move forward or stop and rest?"
Zuo Liuying's tone never changed from inhibited to frustration, but it always sounded a little sarcastic, and Mu Xingqiu didn't care about it, "Keep going." ”
Mu Xingqiu recast the spell, this time it was fine, although there was still a faint pain in his head, but the spell had been able to be transmitted to the Jiang Palace normally, and then the Jiang Palace pointed to the magic weapon.
Xiao Qingtao was closer to Mu Xingqiu, if there was another accident, she didn't want to listen to Zuo Liuying's arrangement, it turned out that the Taoist priest didn't care about Mu Xingqiu's safety at all, but just wanted to get a complete record of the demon.
The flight altitude has dropped to more than 40 feet, and the speed has become slower.
The flea's excitement finally weakened, and he honestly flew with the others, Xiao Artemisia didn't seem to care at all about the Mu just now, looked around for a while, and asked, "What about the demons? Why can't you see one?"
Mu Xingqiu was actually a little puzzled, "When I went back to Pangshan a few days ago, there was a demon soldier's checkpoint on this road...... There's a demon city ahead, let's go and see it. ”
Mu Xingqiu went to Baizhang City to cooperate, and the demon soldiers along the way had also received orders from the giant demon king, and they would not stop this Taoist priest, so he didn't need to dodge.
Like most of the demon cities in Xijie Country, this is a city built by humans, which has been demolished in pieces, the city bricks are used to build demon towers, and the houses are replaced by holes in the ground, and even the name has changed, and the unknown human town is now called the Slaughter City.
The demon general of the slaughtering city is a half-demon, who looks like an ordinary middle-aged man, probably to compensate, the double horns on the helmet are particularly huge, and the leather armor on his body is decorated with a large number of monsters such as horn bones, and there is a loud sound when he walks.
The demon general looked gloomy, as if he was dissatisfied with the surrounding qiē, especially with the arrival of the Taoist priest, he received an order to send his subordinates to send Mu Xingqiu to Baizhang City, but he didn't know how to deal with the other Taoist priests and a unicorn. He refused to reveal his name, rode a sturdy bull out of the city, jumped on the ground and walked over to look at the visitor coldly, and then said: "Slaughtering City can only receive one Taoist priest, and he has to call the name Mu Xingqiu." ”
The demon general had seen Mu Xingqiu, but at this time, as if he didn't know him, he swept around on the faces of the four people, there were more than 100 demon soldiers standing behind him, dozens of demon towers a little farther away were shaking demon weapons all over his body, and twenty flying demons in the air were circling and watching, all of which provided him with great confidence.
"We don't have to go into the city, just rest outside for the night, you just need to pass the news of our arrival to Baizhang City. "It's only been two days since we set off, and there is no need for the four of them to rest, but Mu Xingqiu wants to stop and observe.
This was his "decision", and Zuo Liuying tacitly accepted it.
The demon general pondered for a while, he hated the Taoist priest, and even more disgusted with the problem that the Taoist priest gave him, "You are not allowed to come within five miles of the slaughtering city, leave early tomorrow morning, and report all the names." ”
Mu Xingqiu reported the names of the other three people and Qilin, the name Zuo Liuying was known to everyone in the Nine Great Avenues, but for ordinary demon clans, these three words were meaningless, all they saw was a young Taoist priest, wearing an inappropriate straw hat, like all Taoist priests, full of murderous intent under the plain.
The flea held its head high, and its clear yellow eyes scanned back and forth, bringing great shock to the demon soldiers.
The demons will retreat into the city, leaving some flying demons to monitor the Taoist priests from above.
Mu Xingqiu used spells to set up two tents, Xiao Qingtao came over to help cast the ban, and asked in a low voice, "Is there any purpose in staying here?"
"Well, the demon soldiers' defenses seem to be shrinking drastically, and I'd like to know about their plans. "Mu Xingqiu is no longer a Demon Slayer General, but he still cares about the upcoming Dao Demon War.
Xiao Qingtao nodded, and then said in a smaller voice: "The demon soldier doesn't seem to know who Zuo Liuying is at all, shouldn't this be?"
Mu Xingqiu smiled, turned his head and glanced at Zuo Liuying, who was feeding fleas and eating gold and silver chips in the distance, "Demon slaying is usually the task of Taoist priests below Starfall, and each demon soldier can call out a lot of names, especially the Taoist priest of the Five Elements Branch, who is more well-known among the demon soldiers, and the Taoist priests rarely participate in the battle......"
Xiao Qingtao suddenly said, "I always thought that the demon clan should know the things that the Taoist priests knew, but in fact, if you think about it, we only care about Qi Wushang, the big demons who have fought with the Dao system, and we have almost no understanding of other demon clans...... When the war begins, the demon clan will care about the name of the Taoist priest. ”
The tent was set up, but no one lived in it, Xiao Hao practiced boxing, Flea watched from the side, Zuo Liuying sat cross-legged in the air a few feet above the ground and thought about practicing, while Mu Xingqiu and Xiao Qingtao monitored the movements of the Slaughtering City and the air respectively.
The night is getting deeper, the fleas are standing in place and dozing off, Xiao Artemisia is still practicing boxing, the flying demon in the air is hovering tirelessly, Mu Xingqiu wanted to quietly go to Baizhang City to inquire about the situation, but he experienced another spell stagnation and headache, because he did not cast the spell, so it did not cause much impact, but he had to give up the plan to explore the enemy's situation, keep his promise, and describe his feelings to Zuo Liuying again.
Zuo Liuying listened quietly, did not ask any more questions, and did not give any advice, recording the process of transforming demons is only a duty and not an interest, what he really cares about is the origin of Dao Fire, "Qin Lingshuang's understanding on the occasion of the broken pill must have a deep meaning, I am learning the spell of the Lamp Candle Sect, and I will have a direct conversation with her soul in ten days." ”
There are many self-contained spells in the Lamp and Candle Sect, and they have always been kept secret from the Taoist priests, except for Zuo Liuying, perhaps no one dares to claim that they can learn it within ten days.
In the second half of the night, Xiao Artemisia and Xiao Qingtao entered the tent to rest, Zuo Liuying occupied a top, closed the door, and it seemed that no one else would be allowed to enter, Mu Xingqiu stayed by the flea's side, gently stroked the fine and slippery scales on its body, and urged it to sleep, looking at the slaughtering city from time to time, the heavy unclean aura blocked his heavenly eyes, but he still stared down, looking for clues of the changes of the demon soldiers.
The fourth watch has passed, there are only three flying demons left in the sky, the fleas who have been resting with their eyes closed suddenly opened their eyes, their ears shook slightly, Mu Xingqiu turned around, and was stunned to find that there were spells coming from far away, and the flying demons in the air and the slaughtering city five miles away still knew nothing.
Zuo Liuying appeared beside Mu Xingqiu and said softly, "The war has begun. ”
This battle of Dao demons was two months ahead of schedule.
