Jin Tuan quickly proved that he was not a copy of Mu Xingqiu.
Unlike the young horse herder from the town, he is a natural king, and a few years ago, when he was too young even as a brocade-tailed horse, he defeated several competitors, including the leader of the herd, to become the king of the demons.
He lost the position of the king of spirit demons to Yang Qingyin, which did not mean that he would have to be an ordinary demon clan from now on, he reawakened the fighting spirit in the hearts of the demons in the ice city, and also rekindled the ambition of the king in his heart.
Jin Tuan stood on the top of a small hill in the southeast of the ice city, wearing a towering iron helmet on his head, which was decorated with not animal horns, but a dozen gorgeous feathers, and the armor on his body was very simple, only a few pieces of bone armor blessed by witchcraft, protecting the shoulders and chest and other vital parts, and the other parts were only covered by sackcloth, or even simply exposed.
He didn't even wear shoes, he stood barefoot in the snow, and like all goblins, he didn't like to be restrained, and if they could, they would rather not be restrained.
Since the helmet covered most of his face, the current brocade was almost not at all similar to Mu Xingqiu.
Beside him, a little lower behind him, stood a group of demon clans, tall and short, all of them with respectful expressions, not even daring to breathe too loudly, no one could tell that they were uncivilized demon clans from the bitter cold land of the north, some of whom could not even speak the common human language.
Shen Shang stopped halfway up the mountain and looked up at the demons on the top of the mountain, "What a strange thing, Old Ancestor Peak has fallen." But I gave the Pang Shan Spirit Beast a chance, I am not a Yin Yang Daoist, but I have a hunch that Jin Tuo will be a great demon king. Have you heard? They now call him 'Rice King', and the name of the meal is very vulgar, but those demon clans sincerely think that this king title is very noble, and it can represent their gratitude. ”
Food alone is not enough to generate so much and such a deep gratitude, the key is that in the process, the demons get rid of their frustration and climb from the bottom of the valley of helpless waiting for death to the ground of strong survival. Therefore, it is natural for them to continue to follow the Rice King and continue to climb the peak of the battle with the enemy.
"I have a hunch...... It's not easy to fight this battle with Bingkui. Mu Xingqiu said.
"Hehe, you're too harsh. Shen Shang shook his head with a smile and walked towards the mountain.
The demons moved out of a narrow passage, and without looking back, he already knew who it was, and he stretched out his hand to point into the distance, "It was about noon, and the last few corpse pits appeared at the same time. The three teams of demon soldiers had been patrolling there, but they didn't find the pit until it was dark, and they immediately came back to report it, and they were terrified. ”
It's not the corpses that the demon soldiers are afraid of. It's the fear that emanates from the pits.
This is a moonlit night, the night vision of the demon clan is good, and they can see the general situation a few miles away, and they have both the demon pill and the heavenly Mu Xingqiu. But you can clearly see the scene forty or fifty miles away.
The corpses of the demons wrapped in ice lay on the ground in several places, not long after they died, and they were not yet covered in snow.
"I don't think mana works very well. Shen Shang twisted his shoulders. It seems that this will shake off the spider silk that blocks mana.
"It's okay here, two or three miles ahead, you can't use witchcraft and spells at all. Jin Tuan turned his head, and the eyes behind the helmet were as bright as the full moon in the sky, "This is the Dou Zhuan Star Shifting Formation, and when the entire Ice City and Wolf Plains are covered by the power of the formation, and all the demons and spells are imprisoned, Bing Kui should appear." ”
The two words Bing Kui are like a demon technique, the leaders of the demon clan swayed slightly, and there was a uh-uh sound in their throats, Jin Tuan did not back down this time, he had already gained a firm foothold in this invisible battle, and he could launch a counterattack, he pointed to the corpse pit in the distance, and said:
"Do you feel it? There are slaughtered demon clans everywhere around the ice city, and they are still performing witchcraft for the murderer, releasing curses, spreading fear, and making the living demon clan lose their fighting spirit. ”
Jin Tuan finally turned around and faced the leader of the demon clan, who was also looking at him, like a tired climber who needed the forerunner to reach out and pull him.
"So, don't say that the death of the demon clan is meaningless, waiting for death to leave behind frustration and panic, and death in battle leaving hope! Let Bingkui come, even if I am killed, I will stare into their eyes!"
"Bing Kui......" A demon clan leader whispered these two words, like a breath blowing towards a mature dandelion, soft and cautious.
"Bingkui. A few demons said together, shaking their heads and looking left and right, they found that their heads were still there, and there were no inexplicable wounds on their bodies, and they were even stronger.
"Bingkui!" Jin Cluster shouted, and the demons followed suit, and the voices gathered together and spread far away, like a gust of wind sweeping through the snow.
This is not a begging and an appeal, but a challenge, and the demons seem to have gained the power of a powerful enemy.
It didn't take long for a loud response from the demon camp below the mountain, it was more demon clans shouting "Bingkui", the pronunciation had been distorted, like the sound of the wind blowing the waves of the mountains and forests, like the roar of a giant beast when it woke up from a dream.
"Prepare for battle. Jin Tuan said.
The leaders of the demon clan turned around and ran down the mountain, conveying the latest orders of the Rice King to all the demon clans.
Shen Shang's eyes were also shining, and he said to Mu Xingqiu: "There is no such person in the Taoist priesthood. ”
Mu Xingqiu smiled slightly, he had the experience of boiling blood, and he also had painful memories after cooling, but Shen Shang was right, there was no such character as Jin Tuan in the Dao system, and Mu Xingqiu himself was not, after all, he was also affected by cultivation, and his long-term contemplation had already smoothed out his edges and corners, even in the most passionate moments, he maintained a little calm.
"How are you going to fight this battle?" Shen Shang asked Jin Tuan, shaking the crystal eyes in his hand, "He asked me to ask, he wants to give you a little help." ”
Jin Tuan took off his helmet and glanced at the crystal eyes, as if he didn't welcome Yi Shijun's help, "Children under the age of fifteen stay in the underground of the Ice City, and the other demon clans, regardless of gender, all participate in the battle, since they can go all the way from their hometown to the Ice City, they can pick up weapons." ”
Simple and straightforward tactics. Jin Tuan felt that was enough.
"Do you know when and from which direction Bingkui will attack?" asked Shin Shang.
Jin Tuan was silent for a while, "If Bing Kui is really as powerful as the rumors, as long as he talks about a little honor, he will attack from the front, and we will start a war in the Wolf Plain, which is fair to both sides, and no one will take advantage of the situation." ”
"Hehe, Bing Kui is neither a human nor a demon race, and honor is boring for them like the ice and snow under their feet. I ought to have made you a crown. All the material is pride. Shen Shang used his hands to draw the shape of the crown and symbolically placed it on the head of the brocade.
Jin Tuan snorted, "Then let Bing Kui come, the demon clan will gather together, and where Bing Kui appears, we will support wherever we go." ”
"This time the way of playing is a bit interesting, but you also need a more rigorous plan, how to distribute more than 10,000 demon soldiers, how to echo, how to support each other as quickly as possible, this is very particular. Bing Kui has a formation, so can we have ......"
Shen Shang was short, but his voice was mature and steady, and Jin Tuan couldn't help but bend over. Listen to his formation of troops.
"I'll go outside and have a look. Mu Xingqiu said that Shen Shang and Jin Tuan were chatting energetically, but they just nodded at him.
Mu Xingqiu rose into the air, and before he flew far, he felt that it was getting more and more difficult for mana and demon power to operate. He had to fall to the ground and walk, when suddenly a small voice came from behind him, and he turned to look. I saw that the fleas were running towards me, and there was a bald man sitting between the two corners, and he was flying with a little demon on his back.
Qilin's pride is no less than that of Jintuan, and outsiders are usually not even allowed to walk within five steps, only a few people such as Mu Xingqiu, Bald, and Artemisia can ride on it, and this time he actually made an exception for a little demon, which surprised Mu Xingqiu.
Feifei was obviously more surprised than Mu Xingqiu, and he was also very scared, desperately flapping his translucent wings, trying to reduce his weight.
"I told Feifei's mother to take him out to play for a while. The bald man winked at Mu Xingqiu, he saw that Mu Xingqiu was very interested in Feifei, so he decided to bring him here.
Mu Xingqiu hadn't been sure if Feifei really had a Dao root in his body, and some of his mana had indeed been sucked away, but it could also be some kind of demonic art that the little demon was born with.
However, since the bald man brought him, Mu Xingqiu naturally wouldn't let him go, but just said, "Be careful, don't stay too far away from me." ”
Mu Xingqiu and Flea are both super strong people, running on the ground at almost as fast as flying, and they have completed dozens of miles in less than half an hour, the little demon Feifei has been holding his breath, his wings have not rested for a moment, and his black eyes are flashing with a brilliance of both horror and envy.
A total of seven new corpse pits filled the last vacancy in the Douzhuan Star Shifting Array to surround the ice city, and they appeared under the noses of the patrolling demon soldiers in broad daylight, and no one saw where the ice kui came from and where he went.
Mu Xingqiu inspected the corpse pits one by one, and finally stopped at the edge of the corpse pit where there was only one corpse.
This demon corpse is different, the other corpses are lying there randomly, only it is deliberately posed in the shape of a bow and arrow: the legs are spread to represent the bow body, one hand is raised above the head, and the other hand hangs down the crotch, forming an arrow with the entire upper body, as if it has just left the string and has not yet shot out.
The arrow points to a slightly westerly position in the ice city.
The bald man suddenly spoke, "Don't be afraid, Feifei, with Brother Xiaoqiu here, Bingkui doesn't dare to touch you." ”
Mu Xingqiu patronized and inspected the corpse pit, forgetting about this little demon, Feifei couldn't flap his wings anymore, and sat on the back of the flea in a daze, sweating on his little head.
The closer you get to the corpse pit, the stronger the power of the curse, and the little demon is about to be overwhelmed.
"Let's go back. "Mu Xingqiu has seen too many corpse pits and found no special clues.
The flea turned and ran towards the Ice City, where it found two more Nebula Tree seeds and ate them happily, not at all affected by the curse.
Mu Xingqiu followed, becoming more and more curious about Bingkui's true face, he could always see it before he died in battle, right?
The bald man in front of him cried again, because the fleas were disobedient, and they were always trying to jump into the air, as if there was something good in the sky.
Fleas have some childish actions from time to time, Mu Xingqiu doesn't particularly care, but after a while, he feels that something is not right, and the fleas seem to have really found something in the air.
Mu Xingqiu sped up, ran beside the flea, looked up, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse, the night was like a veil, and there were no foreign objects flying, but the fleas were still in hot pursuit, their tongues sticking out outside, and their faces were greedy.
Mu Xingqiu's heart moved, and he withdrew his gaze and only looked closer, and the left eye of the demon pill shone with a heavenly eye.
Finally, he saw it.
There was a Nebula Tree seed floating in the air.
