Chapter 342: Demon Shadow (1) Thank you for the reward from the book friend "Molu 56"!

The cave is dark and deep, and the clammy and cold in it is far beyond the imagination of the civil magistrate.

Although the cave was so dark that he could not see his fingers, the civil magistrate patiently groped in the darkness and examined a jade crown and a splendid robe, which had been changed into before entering the cave.

The attendants had all perished in the swamp's poisonous insects and beasts, and the miasma forest, and the civil magistrate himself was exhausted, but he had come with a mission and must not be disrespectful, especially in the face of these wild people.

No one outside Kunyou City could imagine that the civil magistrate himself was once a wild citizen.

When he was ten years old, he was adopted and raised by the civilians in Kunyou City, and with his ingenuity, he gradually assumed the position of civil affairs official.

However, he himself was full of contempt for these wild people, and even disgusted with his former status as a wild people.

But it was precisely because of his special status as a wild man that he was able to deal well with the wild people near Kunyou City, including the Nanchen tribe.

After finishing up, the civil affairs officer spoke loudly:

"Gu Qing, the civil magistrate of Kunyou City, flattered the order of the city lord Nie Chuan, and met Queen Nanchen!"

The sound of the cold stalactites in the cave and the rubbing of the wet moss echoed endlessly.

Although there was no response in the surrounding darkness, the civil magistrate was not worried that he would be ignored.

The civil magistrate waited quietly, and finally when the echo died down, a green light suddenly flashed in the darkness ahead. It was a pair of eyes like cold stars, looking mercilessly at the civil magistrate standing in the cave.

The civil magistrate was not alarmed, he knew that it was the man who had brought him in. The cave and darkness-worshipping Nanchen tribe is adept at night vision, and their eyes are like beasts in the mountains, pulsing with green light.

The green glow flickered around the civil magistrate for a while, then faded away.

The civil magistrate immediately followed quickly, it was not an easy task to walk in the dark cave, after three bumps and two falls, the civil magistrate even had to bend over and grope with his hands to keep up with the speed of the green light, which was simply not at all the image and demeanor of the envoy!

The tribe couldn't help but feel angry in his heart, and the people of the Nanchen tribe were obviously rude in the reception.

I don't know how long I walked forward in the twists and turns, the aura of cramped oppression around me suddenly emptied, and in the vast space, the sound of gurgling water was endless.

The civil magistrate seems to have come to a huge grotto, and countless mica and fluorite are exposed on the stone walls on all sides, like a sky full of stars, emitting a fine glimmer of light.

The green light that led the way dimmed somewhere, and only in the distance was a pair of particularly bright eyes watching the civil magistrate.

The civil magistrate knew that he had seen the lord, and he hurriedly straightened his waist and met the eyes that flowed with a breathtaking shine without showing weakness.

An ethereal female voice came slowly:

"The people have lived in the cave for many years, and they don't know that outsiders are not used to the darkness. Your envoy came after hardships, and our department did not entertain him well, but it made your envoy smile. Come, light the brazier, and entertain the envoy with all the courtesy!"

As the sound fell, the surrounding area was lit up with fire for a while.

The civil affairs officer, who had just adapted to the darkness in the cave, couldn't help but find it difficult to adapt to the sudden light for a while, and hurriedly narrowed his eyes.

At the same time, the anger in his heart became more and more intense, this Queen Nanchen was clearly giving herself a dismount.

After a long time, the magistrate's eyes were finally able to see normally, and he looked around and saw himself standing on a large flat rock, with braziers on either side, the flames bright and smokeless.

The grotto is so big that it is hard to see, although there is a glittering fire, but more places are completely hidden in the darkness.

At the intersection of light and darkness, the magistrate saw scrawny and unkempt men fleeing from the flames in fear, not only without a strand but also heavily shackled with their hands and feet.

In just a moment, the men disappeared into the darkness of the fire.

The civil affairs officer snorted coldly in his heart: "Barbarian ......"

The men of the Nanchen tribe are inferior to the women, and the men can only survive in the cave as slaves, while the women have everything from above.

Obviously, civil affairs officials do not understand such customs.

The civil magistrate quickly withdrew his gaze from the animal-like men and turned to his front.

Icy cold water gushes out of the gloomy walls and gathers in the center of the grotto, forming a deep cold pool.

In the middle of the pool, a large rock is outcropping, and on top of it is a magnificent emerald throne, on which stands an obsidian scepter. On one side of the throne, there stood a beautiful woman with an outstanding demeanor and grace.

The beautiful woman dressed in black was noble and cold, and her skin was as white as a crystal orchid because she had lived in the dark for many years. What impressed the civil magistrate particularly was her eyes, whether in light or darkness, they could instantly become the focus of the world.

After a moment of distraction, the civil affairs officer hurriedly focused his attention and saluted Queen Nanchen.

Formal negotiations were about to begin, and he did not dare to be careless.

However, the civil affairs officer always felt that something was wrong, why did Queen Nanchen not sit on the throne, and why was the scepter that symbolized the absolute power of the Nanchen tribe not in the hands of Queen Nanchen? If Queen Nanchen was treating herself with courtesy, then this courtesy was too much.

Of course, these are all secondary to the tasks of this trip.

After the civil affairs officer finished the salute, he opened his mouth and said:

"Gu Qing was ordered by the city lord of my family, and he came to meet the lord of the ten thousand caves south of Yong'an Mountain and the king of the Nanchen tribe to discuss——"

The voice stopped abruptly, and the civil magistrate could no longer speak.

An inexplicable fear suddenly seized his mind, and this sudden fear was like a goat catching a glimpse of a tiger, and a mole smelling the scent of a night owl.

The civil affairs officer only felt that his heart was uncomfortably depressed, and a layer of cold sweat had unconsciously appeared on his forehead.

The beating light of the fire suddenly turned a strange green, reflecting the huge grotto like a ghost domain.

The civil affairs officer hurriedly looked up at Queen Nanchen, only to see that the queen's pale and beautiful face revealed a strange smile against the green light.

It was as mysteriously clammy and cold as endless darkness, and the civil magistrate's body trembled uncontrollably, and the chill was in his breath. He was not a cowardly man, but at this moment he couldn't help but want to scream loudly, and he also wanted to turn around and flee.

In the end, reason forced him to grit his teeth and stay here.

The sound of rushing water suddenly sounded, and a twisted and strange figure gradually emerged in the cold pool.

A skull burst out of the water, dripping dripping from its wet hair and clinging to its face. It is followed by the neck, and the one who twists below the neck is ...... The body of a serpent!

The serpent's body covered in fine black scales swam out of the cold pool, slowly slid onto the Emerald Throne, and finally wrapped around the scepter.

The monster with the head of the snake was erect, and on the human head was a smirking male face, with a twisted and hideous expression, and the narrow vertical pupils were full of scarlet and bloodthirsty.

A strange and evil aura rushed to his face, filling the empty grotto in an instant.

At this moment, the civil affairs officer finally understood the source of his creepy feeling. He had never seen a demon in his life, and even the ghost king who descended from the sky to conquer Kunyou City could not see the characteristics of a demon ghost.

However, at this time, in the face of such a cold and terrifying monster, he only felt that his whole body was cold like falling into an ice cave.

And the noble and beautiful Queen Nanchen, when facing the monster wrapped around the scepter, she was like a docile maidservant.

She bowed deeply to the monster on the throne, and her lips lightly opened:

"My god, the food presented this time comes from Kunyou City, and the soul of a smart person will not disappoint my god. The slave maid also wrote a letter of surrender to lure the Yang army, and as soon as the Yang army arrives, my god will be able to enjoy more delicious food!"

The human-headed monster grinned, and it was full of fine fangs.

The civil affairs officer's heart was frightened, and his heart set off a monstrous wave. One of his jobs is to deal with the affairs of the wild tribe near Kunyou City, but he has never heard that this mysterious Nanchen tribe has such a terrifying monster, and I don't know when Queen Nanchen actually worships this monster as a god, and ...... The "food" in her mouth seems to be herself......

In addition to being shocked, the civil affairs officer couldn't help but ask:

"Queen Nanchen, you are in the company of demons...... What does that mean?

"Shut up!" Queen Nanchen's beautiful eyes were cold, and she turned her head to look at the civil affairs officer and interrupted in a deep voice: "This king has led his people to surrender to my god, do you dare to speak disrespectfully?!"

"You ......" The civil affairs officer was horrified in his heart, although his legs were weak with fear, he had to grit his teeth and shout: "Your Nanchen tribe is just a small wild tribe, and Kunyou City is a big city! If you dare to sacrifice me to this demon, my city lord will definitely avenge me!"

Queen Nanchen straightened up and sneered:

Whether it is Nie Chuan, King Jiang, or the Son of Heaven, including all living beings in this world, they are nothing more than ant dust, destined to surrender to the power of God. You are just a small civil official, and it is a great honor to be able to become a delicacy of my gods, but you still dare to disrespect my gods?"

As Queen Nanchen's words fell, the sound of chains colliding sounded from the darkness of the grotto.

The shackled, emaciated and dried male slaves that the civil magistrate had seen before poured out of the darkness and surrounded the magistrate.

In the beating green flames, the expressions of these men of the Nanchen tribe were numb, but they had an indescribable longing as they stared at the civil magistrate.

The civil magistrate suddenly remembered the legends he had heard about the Nanchen tribe in other wild tribes, and heard that the queen of the Nanchen tribe often did not give food to these slaves, causing these slaves to eat everything because they were hungry......

The civil magistrate raised his fist and stared nervously at the approaching mass of slaves, he already knew that he had no hope of survival, and he still wanted to fight to the death. At the very least, it can't disgrace the reputation of the city lord.

Suddenly, he remembered something, and turned his head sharply to stare at the monster on the throne.

Records of witch history and ancient myths and legends have sprung up in his mind, and the creature that has passed away in ancient times, which represents the existence of absolute power, trembles out two words in his mouth:

"Protoss!"

The monster wrapped around the throne scepter with a human head and a snake body had a smile on its face.
