355, the land of bones

Leaving the tavern, Wu Daoan was a little worried, could he go to the land of bones to catch skeletons again? But the farther the road, the greater the risk, what if he was eaten by that bloodthirsty high-ranking demon halfway?

He returned to his lodgings at a loss, not forgetting to bring Juana a plate of hand-torn octagonals. Juana happily ate the plate cleanly, raised her little head and looked at Wu Daoan: "Sister, how long are we going to live here?"

Wu Daoan was slightly stunned, and replied: "Recently, it has not been very peaceful outside the city, I heard that someone is wantonly arresting low-level demons, let's stay in the city for a few days." ”

Juana grabbed the corner of Wu Daoan's clothes and said in a milky voice: "With my sister here, I'm not afraid! Sister, you are a demon venerable, who dares to provoke you easily!"

"That's! Except for the Demon Sect, I'm really not afraid of anyone!" Wu Daoan also bragged about himself a little.

The rank of the Demon Venerable corresponds to the Magic Sage and the Returning Void Period Monk, while the Demon Sect corresponds to the Magic Grandmaster or the Merge Period Monk. Similarly, it can be said that it is extremely difficult to advance from the Demon Venerable to the Demon Sect, and there is no one in ten thousand, therefore, no matter how humble a demon clan is, as long as he can advance to the Demon Sect, he can be listed as a palace demon clan.

Of course, Wu Daoan doesn't have such high expectations, so he still has to save money first, scrape together enough teleportation fees, and go to the demon plane closer to the sea of stars in the human world, and then look for opportunities. As for Juana, Wu Daoan doesn't have much emotion, and it's a big deal to leave a sum of money for her to live on her own.

The sky of the Demon Realm is forever overcast, and it is impossible to distinguish between day and night. However, the natives here have their own biological clocks, and they will rest after a certain time. Juana was a little sleepy. Pulled Wu Daoan's cuffs: "Sister, I want to sleep." ”

"Then go to sleep. Wu Daoan replied while sitting on a chair and puffing out his practice.

Juana nodded obediently. Stripped naked and got into the bed, and after a while, he fell asleep.

Wu Daoan practiced for a while and felt full of energy, so he opened his eyes, took out the penguin pendant from the storage ring, and stared carefully with a sad expression.

The next day. Wu Daoan went out of the city to capture Zhuang Ding as usual, but this time he didn't dare to continue to the swamp, so he had to go to the Black Forest, thousands of miles north of the city. Capture some forest demons.

The forests of the Demon Realm are actually all dead wood, and these woods have also become plant-based monsters because they are contaminated with demonic energy, and they will sneak attack the weak monsters that pass by from time to time. Of course, there are also many demons who make a living by eating these demon trees. So it has become a unique food chain.

Wu Daoan walked all the way down. These demon trees felt the breath of the superiors, and they didn't dare to act rashly, but they were like real dead trees. And although these trees are monsters, they will actually die immediately after leaving the soil, so they can't be caught as strong men.

I don't know how long I walked, Wu Daoan didn't sense the breath of any creature, and it is estimated that he was all caught. Just when he was in a bad mood, he suddenly sensed another breath of Demon Venerable. The other party also sensed him. After a while, the two met and said in unison: "It's you?"

The person who came was none other than Wicks. The expression on his face was very pleasantly surprised: "I didn't expect that we really have fate, and you are also following the city lord's secret order to capture the strong man, right?"

Wu Daoan nodded and sighed: "Yes, it's a pity that the monsters here have been almost caught." Although there are still many monsters in other places, there are grandmasters in charge, and I don't dare to touch the mold. ”

Wicks also sighed: "That's right, and the bad thing is that we didn't catch too many Demon Venerable-level monsters. If this continues, I guess the lord will send me to the recruiter. ”

Wu Daoan thought for a moment, and asked, "Big brother, do you think we can escape to other planes to avoid conscription?"

Wicks was slightly stunned, and then shook his head: "This is impossible." According to the latest information, all dimensional teleportation arrays have been registered and taken over by special agents sent by the Abyss Council, and are only used to transport soldiers, and are no longer open to the public. ”

Hearing this news, Wu Daoan's original hopes were shattered. However, he turned his head and had a new idea: "Then there will be any ancient teleportation arrays that have not been taken over? Our plane is so big, there should be a lot of teleportation arrays." ”

Wix shook his head again: "Establishing a dimensional teleportation array is not only time-consuming and laborious, but it also requires at least the king's action, how can it be so easy?

Seeing Wu Daoan's puzzled face, Wix patiently replied: "Don't look at the land of bones is so chaotic now, but 300,000 years ago it was a huge country that was not inferior to the power of our demon race. But later, the supreme ruler there, the White Bone Emperor, somehow offended a member of the Abyss Council, and was ruthlessly killed, and even some of his kings and ministers also died, causing the country that the Skeleton Clan had worked so hard to build completely disintegrate, and since then the Land of Bones has fallen into chaos and complete decline. ”

After listening to this story, Wu Daoan understood at a glance: "Since it used to be a huge country there, there should have been a teleportation array built in it." ”

"Yes, it's just that after such a long time, those teleportation arrays must have already been broken, even if they can barely be activated, there is no guarantee that there will be any danger, so don't fight this idea. ”

"But there are a lot of monsters there, so it's suitable for capture. ”

"Haha, let's be honest, I'm planning to go there with a few companions to catch some high-ranking skeletons. ”

"Then take me!"

Wicks had long wanted to find an opportunity to get close to Wu Daoan, so he naturally agreed at this time: "Okay, then we'll see you in the swamp south of the city tomorrow night!"

Wu Daoan immediately returned to the inn in the city and said to Juana: "My sister is going to go on a long trip, and she may not be able to come back for a long time. With this money, it is enough for one person to live for a long time. ”

As a result, Juana immediately hugged Wu Daoan's thigh and began to cry: "My sister can do whatever I want, please don't leave me!"

Wu Daoan was also very helpless, but looking at the little Lori with tears on her face, she couldn't bear to say cruel words. I had to squat down and comfort softly: "Do you really want to do anything for me?"

Juana nodded tearfully.

"But your strength is too low now, and it's just a burden to follow me. In this way, you have to work hard to improve your strength first, and then you can travel with me in the future. ”

Juana was still reluctant, Wu Daoan had to drag her out of the door, all the way to the tavern of the Hu Demon Clan, and explained to the boss: "In the future, she will stay with you as a waitress, and she usually eats and lives here." ”

The tavern owner has always been clever: "Your Excellency, you are going to go far away, don't worry, I will treat her like my own daughter." ”

Wu Daoan was relieved and left quickly, and the little Lori still wanted to hug her thighs, but was stopped by the tavern owner and comforted.

At the edge of the swamp south of the city, Wix had already arrived first, and then three male demons came one after another, a total of five, to introduce each other and then hit the road.

Because Wu Daoan is the only 'woman' in this small group - provided that he does not strip naked, he naturally became the focus of everyone, and there were many topics around him about whether he was married or not, how much age he was celebrating, and so on. Wu Daoan has long practiced the ability to talk about people and ghosts, and he responds freely, pretending to be stupid and cute, but there are no flaws.

In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed, and the demon hunting team has approached the central area of the Land of Bones, and can vaguely see towering but dilapidated castles, proving the prosperity of this place in the past.

Wicks took out his probe compass and pointed in one direction: "There is no grandmaster's breath there, we can go over there and arrest it." ”

Everyone worked together to bully the children, and successfully captured many innocent high-level skeletons. However, Wu Daoan's mind was not here, and he took advantage of the break to ask Weeks: "The ruins of the legendary Skeleton Imperial City are over there, right?"

Wicks shook his head: "You better don't have this idea, the ruins are surrounded by powerful high-ranking skeletons, and there is no way to slip through." ”

Wu Daoan's eyes rolled and he put on a crying voice: "However, if the war continues like this, I will be conscripted into the army one day, and I don't want to go to the front line to die." ”

Wicks had another opinion: "You don't have to worry too much, I heard that the millennium meeting of the Terrans is approaching, and it is estimated that there will be a truce soon." ”

Wu Daoan was a little puzzled: "Why do you say that?"

"The war has been fought to such a stalemate that it is not in anyone's interest to continue. At the time of the Millennium Conference, many bigwigs of all races would go over, which was just right for negotiations and agreed on a new order in the future of the Ten Thousand Realms Star Sea. ”

Unexpectedly, this Wicks still knew a lot of inside stories, Wu Daoan took the opportunity to find out more things: "By the way, who are those members of the Abyss Council?"

"This is a bit complicated, in fact, the Abyss Council is a large administrative body, in charge of the major affairs of the entire Demon Realm Star Sea, and it is also subdivided into many layers of institutions, such as the House of Commons, the Middle House, the House of Lords, the House of Law, the Constitutional House, the Military House, the Senate, the House of Representatives, the House of People, the independent houses of the provinces, and so on. However, the only people who can decide to start such a major event as starting an all-out war are the thirteen Holy Demon Councilors from the highest level of the Holy Council. Wicks patiently explained them one by one.

The so-called holy demon corresponds to the sage of the human race. However, the Holy Beings of the Terran race stand above the heavens, while the Holy Demons are under the abyss. To put it simply, although the cultivation of the human race is divided into many paths, they all have the same path, and they all end up climbing the heavenly realm. On the contrary, the demon clan will go to explore the lower abyss after cultivating to the Great Emperor. The celestial realm and the abyss have always been opposites, representing order and disorder, light and darkness, respectively. This essential difference has led to constant conflict between the human race and the demon race since the day of contact, and it continues to this day.

Wu Daoan had other thoughts, thinking that he might as well wait for the armistice before returning to the human world, so that he would not have to worry about being sent to the front line again. (To be continued.) )
