Devil on the tip of the tongue

"Ming Xiao, can you do it? This magic bird bone soup seems to be different from the one in the cafeteria..." In the Ming family kitchen, Ji Heng and Ming Xiao were trying to make magic bird bone soup, Ming Xiao insisted You have to do it yourself, because it's for Ming's father to heal his wounds.

However, looking at the strange color of the soup that has been simmering for a long time and still bubbling with dark green bubbles, Ji Heng is a little uncertain. If this soup is served to Papa Ming, is it for him to heal his wounds or to send him on the road...

It looks almost like Snow White's stepmother brewed poison to be brushed on the apples!

"It should be fine, why don't you try it?" Ming Xiao handed the soup spoon to Ji Heng.

Ji Heng looked at his good friend with a face of reproach.

"Okay." Ming Xiao sighed, put the spoon aside, and ordered the monster who helped in the kitchen to pour out the pot of bone broth that seemed to have completely failed.

It has been three days since the war in the Demon City ended, and there are rumors everywhere that the Demon King will leave the Demon City with his army and move the Demon City to Sunset City, which is easier to defend. The Demon City is surrounded by vast plains, which is really not conducive to defense.When the old devil was still there, because of the support of those winged monsters, there was no danger even if the devil's capital was built on the plain.

But now, it is obvious that there is a leader among the winged monsters who is very dissatisfied with the new demon king. Moreover, it seems that this new leader has probably controlled most of the winged monsters, otherwise it would not be the first time in the demon city. A second attack was planned immediately after the rebellion.Maybe the first time was just a test, but the second time was the one who really wanted his life.

Lou Jinyu stood on the half-collapsed Demon King's office building, looking at the ruins around him, his face was terribly gloomy.

He always thought that as long as he could lead the demons to live a better life, those monsters would no longer be reluctant to part with the gloomy and gloomy life after they got used to the good life from modern human civilization.

However, he was wrong.

Maybe those low-level monsters really think so, but those high-level monsters who are used to being superior, how can they really give up the supreme power in their hands?Not to mention the new laws that he proposed, that low-level monsters should not be killed indiscriminately, and people should not gather to fight in the city.

It's a pity that most of the winged monsters who participated in the rebellion escaped. In order to avoid causing more casualties, he had to rush like a bereaved dog before these winged monsters made a comeback. The demon city where he had placed his hopes, fled to the farther south in embarrassment, where his first fiefdom as an adult - Sunset City.

He has personally managed it for hundreds of years and has absolute control over Sunset City.

Moreover, Sunset City has a large area of ​​thorny jungle, which can effectively resist the attack of winged monsters.

"Bai Yu, how many monsters are willing to go south with this king?" After a long time, the young devil suddenly asked.

"Your Majesty, there are less than half of them... However, most of the high-level monsters are willing to leave with us." Bai Yu said bitterly.He didn't expect that they fought hard against those old-school monsters and won a better life for those middle-level and low-level monsters. Now seeing them fail and escape, most of the monsters who have been favored by them are unwilling Flee with them.

"Let them go!" Lou Jinyu sneered. Some monsters are willing to crawl at the feet of high-level monsters and be a dog begging for food with their tails wagging. Still a dog.Since they want to go back to the past life where they couldn't even decide their own lives, then go for it!

"Oh! I thought I would spend my whole life in this old house. But it's good to go south. I heard that there are many beautiful flowers in Sunset City. Maybe I can make some flower petal sauce and use it to make pies." Ming's mother looked The old house that has been passed down by the Ming family for thousands of years sighed.Ming's father is a clear-cut royalist party. When the king leaves the capital, their family must also leave together, otherwise the only thing waiting for them is the liquidation of the enemy.

"Don't worry ma'am, when we get to Sunset City, I will definitely build you a house bigger than the old one!" Ming's father promised while sitting in the wheelchair.

Ji Heng watched with a smile on the side. Unlike the frustration of other retreating monsters, he actually agreed with the king's choice to leave the devil's capital and go south at this time. For some reason, he suddenly remembered the time when he and his grandfather were watching TV together. Grandpa's favorite war documentary, there is a word in it that is especially suitable for the current situation: strategic retreat.

Instead of wasting precious combat power in a battle that is doomed to failure, it is better to avoid the edge of the enemy for the time being, preserve strength, and wait for the opportunity to strike back.

Just like he and Heishuimei used to be chased by other big monsters to hide in the cave in the ruins, where are those fierce big monsters now?

Blindly bloodthirsty and brutal, sooner or later he would be killed by other monsters, but he and Heishuimei have lived well until now, and he believes that they will continue to live like this.

Therefore, even though the king never sent anyone to look for them after that departure, Ji Heng still agreed to Ming Xiao without hesitation, and planned to retreat to Sunset City in the south with the Ming family.

Recently, the entire Ming family has been busy packing things. As wild little monsters with no permanent property, Ji Heng and the others have nothing to clean up. Some of the things I bought were buried in the collapsed Demon King’s office building, and there was no way to find them out. Ji Heng was so distressed that he didn’t sleep well for several days. After thinking about it, it’s okay, after all, he can save his life from the war It is already a blessing in misfortune, if you lose money or something, just lose it.

However, starting today, the three of them have become wandering monsters without a job. Fortunately, Mother Ming doesn't seem to mind raising them at all, but Ji Heng has already decided that he must find a job immediately when he arrives in Sunset City. And they have to pay for the food expenses of Ming's mother, even if they live in Ming's house, they can't eat and drink for free all the time.

The departure date was set for two days later.

It was expected that the remaining monsters did not send them off outside the city.

All the monsters are covered with thick cloaks made of fur of various monsters.

The cloak is for shelter from the scorching sun.

This is also something that has been arranged long ago.Sunset City is different from theirs here. It is said that most of the year is exposed to the scorching sun. Perhaps because of this, the greatest hope of the monsters there is that the sun will fall. The name was changed to "Sunset"... However, the sun still loves that city very much. Not only did it diligently send the scorching sun away, but it also bred tens of thousands of mu of thorny forests outside the city of Sunset. Sand + thorny jungle is simply a nightmare for water attribute monsters like Heishuimei!

For this reason, no matter how embarrassed Ji Heng felt, he still had to brazenly continue to ask Ming's mother to take care of him, because only the Ming family can provide them with enough water during the long journey, so as to prevent Heishuimei's classmate from becoming thirsty due to lack of water. Zhang shriveled monster skin.

"I heard that the old devil king was trying to train his son's ability to survive, so he specially chose Sunset City as the first fiefdom after he was conferred the prince. At that time, he was still the prince of the demon clan. This barren land has built an oasis in the desert today." Ming's father was physically disabled, and with a broken leg, he insisted on lying on the flying monster to teach the children some common sense about Sunset City.

"I heard that drinking water is very expensive in Sunset City..." Ji Heng said worriedly. He was very worried about their life after they arrived in Sunset City. They used to commemorate and eat more food, and they might have to share a large amount in the future. A sum of money to buy water for Heishuimei, Wang Shang seems to have forgotten about him as an assistant, so where will he make money to support these two guys in the future?

"Actually, with Xiao Hei's talent, you don't have to spend money to buy water at all." As soon as Father Ming opened his mouth, he saw two little monsters, Ji Heng and Heishui Mei, staring at him with sparkling eyes.

"Ahem, I heard that because of the precious drinking water in Sunset City, there is a particularly popular profession, that is, a water carrier who specializes in transporting drinking water from the ground. I think Xiao Hei is very suitable for applying for the job of a water carrier. Maybe you can earn a lot of magic coins."

Ming's father's words gave Ji Heng and Heishuimei great confidence.

Then, I don't know if luck really came, that night, General Bai Yu finally came to find Ji Heng.

The demon king has not closed his eyes for almost ten days. If he persists and refuses to sleep, maybe those rebels who chased him would be killed by the mad king. There is no way to use the ambush.

In the past few days, because he couldn't sleep, every time the king was depressed to the limit, he would single-handedly go back and give the pursuers a head-on blow, and then turn back when he was satisfied with the killing. These subordinates were tossing about to collapse, in order to prevent the chasing rebels from being frightened back by the berserk demon king, Bai Yu finally thought of the magic weapon that could make the king fall asleep - the little monster who accompanied the bed, Ji Heng.

Ji Heng: "..."

so good!Thank you for still thinking of me┓(′?`)┏

It's a shame, but being able to resume work before arriving in Sunset City is a happy thing for a little monster who is short of money.

Moreover, Bai Yu also gave himself a whole bag of silver beads, saying that it was the King's intention that all the monsters in the building who were lucky enough to escape had a share, and those who unfortunately died were also given pensions to their relatives.With this large amount of compensation, Ji Heng finally felt a lot more at ease, and decided to go to work immediately for the sake of this bag of silver beads!
