Poison Tongue and Sleepy Demon King

After David Xi detonated the scrolls stored in the black ball's portable space one by one, perhaps because the true energy fluctuations were too large, the surrounding wind elements became significantly more manic.And because of this, Davidi was sure to attract other monsters wandering in the forest and on the plain.

However, before those wet ghosts come from all directions, it is better for him to deal with a few more of these guys summoned by the scroll, otherwise, once there are too many, even he will find it a bit troublesome—especially if he is still alive now. Distracted from protecting a slob who actually doesn't need his protection at all.

Thinking of this, while pulling the sword out of the viscous body of a monster, David Xi also looked back at Sades, who was still standing there and smiling lazily. There is nothing wrong with him.

"You can still distract yourself when fighting against monsters. You are also very good." Sensing David Xi's gaze, Sade Ace began to taunt without much thought, "Even warlocks who are best at creature control are occasionally defeated by their original Animals that are very smoothly controlled take the initiative to attack, are you so confident that your sword skills will not be disrupted by the siege of these monsters?"

"If even this level requires my full concentration to barely resist, then I might as well commit suicide in front of all the residents of the Seven Cities to save my dignity." Dai Weixi gave him a cold look, "And these monsters are very sensitive to normal The mercenary group may be troublesome, but after mastering the weaknesses and attack forms, the real trouble is how to get them out of every corner of this area. With the full help of Mr. Black Ball , this trouble is not a big problem.”

...I wish I could strangle this self who is forced to do all I can to help you.Black Ball sneered at the side expressionlessly.

Sade Ace followed David Xi's incomparably smooth and accurate movement of swinging the sword with his eyes, and after admiring it for a while, he smiled and said, "Staying with you really allows me to discover many interesting things."

"What are you referring to?"

"In many ways..." Saad Ace replied slowly, and after a pause, he continued: "If an individual is very outstanding in the group, sometimes it is not just because of strength."

David Xi turned around and swung a line of fire, pushing away the monsters that were too close to him, and then turned around and looked at Sad Aes in this short period of time, "What about you? Why are you so outstanding?" ?”

"Why do you think I'm outstanding?" Saad Ess asked with a smile, "In the eyes of those outsiders who watched me sleep anywhere, I can only be regarded as a freak at best?"

Dai Weixi turned around again, remained silent for a while, and then said: "In order for our cooperation to continue happily until it ends perfectly, let's not discuss this topic for the time being."

"You say that every time." Sades shook his head with a smile, "And isn't it you who brings the topic to this every time?"

"I just want to see your reaction." As David Xi said, he suddenly turned around and quickly moved to the back of Thadees, raised his sword to block a monster that almost touched the back of Sadees.

"I also want to see my reaction in this situation?" Saad Ace slightly turned his head and looked at David Xi's side face, "I will be really in danger if it is later."

"Even if the Seven Cities collapse, I don't believe you will be in danger." Dai Weixi first replied casually, and then moved back to the position he was standing before, and then said: "But I really want to know more about to your strength."

"Then you shouldn't have rushed over to save me just now." Before David Xi turned his head, Saades blinked his left eye at him again to show friendliness, "If you don't come to save me, maybe you can see me I resisted before being killed by a monster."

"Thank you for reminding me, I will definitely not save you next time." Devixi imitated Saad Ace's lazy tone, and replied like this.

"That's it, next time you will continue to rush over." Sades chuckled lightly, "My guesses have always been very accurate, Mr. Friendly Collaborator."

"Did you suffer from sequelae due to lack of sleep? Not only are you talking more and more nonsense, but your face is so dark that it is no different from these monsters."

"Thank you for the compliment."

David Xi turned around and got entangled with those monsters again. Although he swung the sword in his hand so violently, except for his slightly serious expression, there was no sweat on his forehead.

Sades half-opened his eyes, looked at him with obviously sleepy but still focused eyes, and the smile on his face was slightly restrained.

So when David Xi turned his head again, he happened to see him yawning uncontrollably.

"...If you are really sleepy, I don't mind if you just lie down and sleep." While speaking, Dai Weixi gestured for the ground that had been scorched long ago, "Anyway, you are wearing such a big A black robe, even if the whole body is covered with black dirt and dust, it doesn't matter."

"Dirty." Thaddeus replied vaguely, still half-closed his eyes sleepily.

David Xi was about to say something when he felt a large group of weak energies gradually approaching.He glanced in the direction where the pile of energy was approaching, and saw a team of dozens of people rushing towards this side.They may have noticed the changes in this wasteland, or they may have simply seen most of the monsters approaching here. In short, although the energy fluctuations in this group of people are not too strong, they are at least stronger than the hundred people that David Xi met before. The regiment is stronger, and it should still have the ability to resist several monsters.

What's more, judging from the neat attire of this mercenary group, the situation is not the same as that of the previous free mercenary group.

"Mercenary regiment in the city." David Xi frowned, took two steps back, and picked up a breeze, lifting the hood on Sades' black robe and covering his head.

Sad Ace's reaction seemed a bit slow, and he raised his head slowly after two seconds, and his eyes covered under the hood fell on David Xi again, "...I look like a wanted criminal from somewhere Is it?"

"If there is a wanted criminal who looks as eye-catching as you, then he will probably be successfully captured within a few days." David Xi praised Sad Ace's appearance, but his tone was still very mocking , "In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, you'd better cover your face."

After saying this, David Xi thought for a few seconds, and put down Mr. Black Ball, who was still hanging in mid-air. Although he was still restrained by the wind element, at least outsiders could not appreciate his hanging just now. It looked miserable in the air.

And the black ball, who had been unable to find anything to say for a long time, now realized something from David Xi's words and this action, and quickly turned his head with difficulty to look around, trying to find out whether there were outsiders approaching nearby.

The wet ghosts around are basically attracted by Thaddeus's special physique, so Davidi doesn't need to be distracted to protect this Mr. Black Ball who has become powerless due to the exhaustion of energy.As long as he is not so unlucky that he is directly run over by these monsters, the problem should not be too big.

But now there are quite a lot of monsters around David Xi, so he doesn't have time to pay attention to those mercenaries who dare to trot over here without knowing the situation. Go forward immediately, that will only cause him more trouble.

Just as this idea was born, a rough and loud voice came from the direction of the dozens of mercenaries: "Go and help! Forget about death!"

"..." At this moment, Dai Weixi suddenly wanted Mr. Heiqiu to roll his eyes again. If he studied hard, he might be able to learn the essence of rolling his eyes, so as to express his feelings that are really hard to describe in words at this time.

Just when he was about to summon the wind gust to send those mercenaries away temporarily, Saad Aesi's voice sounded slowly behind him: "Do you need my help?"

David Xi raised his eyebrows, looked back at him, and asked, "How are you going to help?"

"You just continue to make friends with these monsters." Sade Ace smiled at him, then turned around slowly, and moved a few steps in the direction of those yelling mercenaries, " I'll let them... sleep for a while."

Dai Weixi silently burned the approaching monsters to ashes, but did not question whether Sadeas had the ability to stop them, but raised his eyebrows and asked: "I really plan to start to be a qualified and serious collaborator ?”

"Yes." Sad Aes stopped moving, but directly raised his hand, pointing his fingertips at the group of approaching mercenaries, "It's rare for me to be serious."

David Xi stepped on the ground with his right foot, quickly raised his left leg and kicked the monsters on their right side through the air, and rushed away with a burst of intense flames, directly engulfing those monsters into the sea of ​​flames.In this way, he had a few more seconds of free time to leisurely look in the direction of the group of mercenaries.

"Humans are a very persevering and persistent race." Saad Aes raised his hand lazily, and at the same time he did not forget to gossip, "After going through several wars since the next era, although your numbers are no longer comparable The dwarves have been entrenched in valleys and dungeons, but they are the most willing to have families and offspring among all races. Well... Although this has nothing to do with perseverance and perseverance, every new human child, even if Even if you have not experienced war, you will have a very strong sense of survival, and you are willing to entrust this awareness to your companions."

"You mean that they are rushing here now not only to deal with these monsters, but also to save our lives that seem to be in danger, right?" David Xi simply translated his inexplicable words on his own After a while, he no longer observed the group of mercenaries, but turned around and focused on the monsters.

"Am I not right?" Thaddeus still smiled gently, but after a few days of getting to know him, Davidi was able to fully see from his eyes that he was not really in a happy mood. .

"...you are right." Davidi admitted this, "but this habit... let's count it as a habit, this habit is not unique to human beings, it is common to any race with feelings and thoughts. They all choose to protect their relatives first, and then friends and compatriots, right?"

"It can be said so." Sade Ace sighed, as if he was regretting something, he overlapped his outstretched right thumb and middle finger, and rubbed them lightly, "And as a great Hero... well, or brave man, surely you don’t want these mercenaries who dared to sacrifice their lives for other residents to be injured or even die?”

When he asked, the friction between his thumb and middle finger seemed to crush a magic bead, and a strong magic power emanated from his fingertips, rubbing shoulders with David Xi quickly and inaudibly. But, in an instant, it hit those mercenaries softly.

And the shouting of the mercenaries also stopped abruptly at this moment.Their eyes shook a few times blankly, and they fell to the ground quite simply.

David Xi squinted his eyes, stood still and glanced at the mercenaries who were still some distance away from them but lost the power to resist in an instant, "You can be regarded as my collaborator, or companion, so I don't think there's anything wrong with your behavior...but if you're the enemy, and I'm leading my army as I always have—how much destructive power can you cause?"

"But we are not enemies, so your assumption is not valid at all." Sades turned his head to him and said with a smile, "Do you want to know the reason?"

"If you will."

"It's just hypnotism." Thadees raised his finger and made two circles in the air in front of him, "It's the kind you denied before, saying that I can't hypnotize you without using any medium."

"Hypnotism?" Dai Weixi was still entangled with the monsters. Hearing his explanation, he couldn't help frowning, "It's not that simple, is it?"

"It was seen through by you..." After being questioned by David Xi, Sad Aes shrugged his shoulders quite noncommittally, "It is indeed more than hypnosis. In order to completely affect their spirits and make them fall asleep, so I also used very mild mind control. Don't worry, it won't have any effect on their thinking or memory."

"I also know the principle of mind control, but this is the first time I have seen a mind control that can work on so many people at the same time." David Xi glanced at him again, "There is no such case in the information book. "

"After all, I'm a reliable collaborator." Saad Ace directly met David Xi's more serious gaze than before, with a smile still on his face, "Of course, you need to have some ability, or if you get tired of it If you cooperate with me, you don't plan to take me back to the city, so don't I just have to eat and sleep in the open?"

David Xi's originally cold eyes suddenly softened because of Sad Aes' words, he closed his eyes, and sighed slightly, "Your ability to talk nonsense is really getting better and better."

Sades looked at him with a smile for a while, and then said in a reassuring tone, "Relax."

Dai Weixi stopped answering, but suddenly accelerated his movements, stomped on the ground vigorously with one foot, rose into the air, chanted two spells softly, let the flames spurt fiercely along his palm, A large piece of wasteland in front of them was pulled into the flames.He didn't even make these monsters buried in the sea of ​​flames cry out, and he dealt with them decisively and simply.

In addition to these monsters summoned by the scroll, there are one or two scattered monsters not far from them.With a calm expression, Dai Weixi turned the hilt of his sword, and then fell directly to one of the monsters from mid-air, sending it to meet his companions as well.

After finishing the last monster in the surrounding area, David Xi found that Sad Ace was still looking at him, and his eyes were quite strange, so he raised his eyebrows and asked directly: "What are you looking at me for?"

Only then did Sades blink, look back, and asked with a smile: "You moved so slowly at the beginning, did you want to test whether these monsters have any other special features?"

"Of course." David Xi admitted, "No matter what you do, be cautious."

"You were not cautious at all when you invited me to cooperate with you."

"That's because I'm soberly aware that it doesn't make any sense to be cautious or not cautious when dealing with a guy like you." David Xi looked around, and while talking to him, he planned to collect some liquid to see if he could attract him. The rest may be monsters scattered in the forest and plains.

"Are you praising me or mocking me?"

Dai Weixi gave him a strange look, "What misunderstanding do you have about your image in my heart? Don't worry, even if what I say is a compliment, it must be satirizing you when I put it on you."

Sades laughed lowly, shook his head and stopped talking.

After collecting the mucus, David Xi decided to temporarily put Sad Aes aside and let him give full play to his specialty of sleeping standing up, so he went straight to Mr. Black Ball who was lying flat on the ground and was emptying himself, squatting down, and looked at him. She glanced at him and asked, "Are you still alive?"

"Nonsense, do I look like I'm dead?" Black Ball glared at him angrily, "Have you ever seen a dead person open his eyes and talk?"

"I still have the strength to speak so loudly, and it seems that I am in a good state." David Xi nodded, raised his left hand holding the glass bottle, and asked directly: "Although this liquid is not a separate body in the pure sense, it should be used for similar liquids. Is it still attractive?"

"I said I wouldn't answer these questions." Black Ball said, rolling his eyes.

"Judging from your reaction, my guess should be right." However, Dai Weixi had no intention of getting an answer from Black Ball at all. After seeing his reaction, he nodded and stood up.

Sade Ace almost just moved a few times in place, and he didn't know if he was looking for a suitable foothold, but after noticing David Xi's gaze, he asked in a more cooperative way: "Continue to use the diffusion technique." ?”

"With my own strength, it is impossible to turn over the entire forest just to find the one or two monsters left alone, so I can only use this method for the time being, and it counts as much as I can clear." David Xi said, Pointing to the mercenaries who were still lying on the ground and sleeping soundly, "It is more appropriate to hand over the remaining monsters to an organized and disciplined group."

"After these monsters are basically cleaned up, our cooperation is over, right?" Saad Ace asked first, and then stretched out his hand when David Xi looked over, "Give it to me, cooperate Before the end, I still have some use value."

David Xi took the glass bottle in his hand and twirled it twice, and instead of answering Saad Ess's question, he taunted him habitually: "Why? Are you going to shower this liquid directly on your body? A good way, after the monsters come, your attraction to them may directly rise to an astonishing level."

"Fortunately, you are strong." Saad Ace smiled. "If you are not a very powerful guy, and you still like to satirize others so much, you must have been arrested and beaten to the point where you can't tell the north from the south, right?"

"If it falls into the hands of some guy with strange hobbies, maybe it will be even worse." David Xi answered casually.

Thaddeus narrowed his eyes, and his smile widened slightly, "How do you know that there are guys with 'strange hobbies'?"

"The strange hobbies I'm talking about generally refer to behaviors that like to torture and abuse others with extraordinary means." David Xi glanced at him, "It's not the weird hobbies you understand."

"Is there any difference? Anyway, they are forcing others, aren't they?"

"That's true." Davidi slightly turned his neck, and casually pointed to the bottle in Sade Ace's hand, "Let's get started."

While they were busy, Mr. Black Ball, who was lying on the side unable to move, was still trying his best to find a chance to escape. Although this possibility was extremely small, he always believed that the possibility was still possible, so he realized that After it was absolutely impossible for David Xi to let go of himself, he began to shift his target to the outside world—for example, those mercenaries lying on the ground like him.

Compared with those mercenaries who were lying down, but at least unconscious so they were quite relaxed, he was like a sculpture with self-awareness. Lying here motionless made his whole body itch and felt unbearable. It's like there are tens of millions of bugs climbing and moving on the skin.

After surviving the initial period of time, Black Ball tried to turn his head, glanced at the mercenaries secretly, and then began to try his best to find the energy suitable for him from the surrounding wind elements , and tried to take these energies back into the body.The difficulty of this process was no less than that of trekking over mountains and ridges, but for the sake of freedom, Mr. Black Ball still gritted his teeth and persisted, and indeed managed to accumulate some energy.

After feeling the energy in his body start to run again, Black Ball was relieved, then frowned and began to think about how to wake up the group of mercenaries who had fallen asleep for no reason—from those two speechless From the conversation of the blocking guy, it can be known that this must be the spell of the silver-haired man, but what is the specific principle, even if Sade Ace has already said it, Black Ball still can't believe it.

After all, in front of his enemy, would these two guys really tell all the truth without concealment?

The black ball expressed doubts.

After thinking for a while, Black Ball finally decided that it would be safer to just create some trouble and directly wake up those guys from their sleep.Not long after making a decision, Black Ball began to try to take action, allowing his energy to slip quietly along the ground in the direction of the mercenaries.

He controlled these energies so well that he almost lost track of himself, so he was quite confident in the secrecy of this energy, at least he should be able to hide it from those two guys who were busy dealing with monsters, right?

When the energy finally reached the area where the mercenaries were lying, Black Ball couldn't help but chuckle. He was about to find an opportunity to detonate these abilities, when he heard a calm voice in his ear: "It looks like Did you have a good time?"

Under the highly tense situation, the black ball was taken aback immediately, and the energy that had been well controlled all the time was released instantly, and it exploded when it was still a little distance away from the mercenaries, causing a deafening explosion sound.

The plan failed, and Black Ball angrily and annoyed turned back to stare at David Xi who was squatting beside him, and shouted: "Aren't you dealing with those wet ghosts!"

"It's been dealt with." Davidi replied calmly, then frowned and looked at the range where the mercenaries were, "It's just some weak energy, and it won't hurt the mercenaries in armor, but your sneaky Isn't that a bad behavior?"

...You are the kind of person who tied people directly to the ground and couldn't move, and you tied them for most of the day, how dare you talk about me? !

Black Ball brazenly ignored his bad behavior of driving monsters to attack the village, roaring in his heart.

"But this is just right, lest I have to spend energy to wake them up. This energy explosion should be enough to wake them up." David Xi said in a low volume while observing the situation over there.

Even though he said so, after seeing a few mercenaries jumping up from the ground, David Xi was completely relieved, and he directly lifted the black ball onto his shoulders, and stood aside, still trying to stand up. Sades, who was sleeping, said, "Let's go, it's time to go back."

Sad Aes barely opened his eyes, turned his head to look in the direction of the mercenaries, and asked, "Leave them alone?"

"We have been busy for almost a whole day, and the monsters should have been cleaned up." David Xi said, "From the perspective of energy fluctuations, their abilities are not bad, and there will be no problems."

"Sure enough, he is Mr. Brave who is used to caring about the people." Sades smiled weakly a few times, "Then let's go, it will take some time to go back from here."

"You don't need me to run with you this time?" David Xi raised his eyebrows and asked.

"You don't look like you don't mind running with me." Saad Aesi glanced at David Xi's expression that was still not tired, "——then it will be hard work for you."

"...Mr. Black Robe." David Xi looked at him blankly, "Do you know the meaning of the word 'shame'?"

"Huh?" Sad Ace was taken aback, "Why does this sentence sound so familiar?"

"..." At this time, Dai Weixi remembered that he had said similar words before, so he couldn't help snorting, and said: "It seems that people who don't know the meaning of this word, even if they have gone through countless similar experiences, I still don't know the meaning of the word."

Sade Ace smiled along with him, raised his hand and pointed at Mr. Black Ball who was held by David Xi, "Are you going to take him into the Seven Cities together like this?"

"Before entering the Seven Cities, I will tie him up and cast a spell." David Xi glanced at the mercenaries who were looking this way, paused, and said, "Hurry up!" Bar."

"Afraid of being recognized?"

"I'm afraid I've already been recognized." Dai Weixi frowned, "I still have something to do in the Seventh City, if outsiders know that I am in the Seventh City, the nobles in the city will probably come deliberately Finding trouble with me is not easy to solve."

"The life of a great hero is so difficult." Thaddeus joked, and just turned around, then turned back and reminded: "Don't forget my magic wand."

"Magic wand?" Davidi thought for a few seconds before remembering what Thaddeus said, "...I seem to have made it clear from the beginning that I can't do anything."

"Don't you still remember the specific content of our cooperation?" Saad Aes laughed again, "I thought you forgot all about it."

David Xi stared at him silently for a moment, and when he came back to his senses, he stopped dwelling on this topic and directly grabbed Sad Aes' shoulder, "... let's go."

This mercenary group is not the same as the previous free mercenary group, and David Xi can feel it from the way their energy works.Free mercenary groups are often composed of free people, so their abilities are generally not considered elite, and the members of this kind of mercenary group are basically trained internally. Not only are they stronger, but they often follow the city guards Let's contribute to the city together.

In other words, these guys' understanding of the strength of the empire is completely inferior to that of the Free Mercenary Corps.

So even though they were leaving very fast, and David Xi even deliberately avoided looking directly at those mercenaries, there were still a few mercenaries with excellent eyesight who vaguely saw David Xi's undisguised face.

David Xi seldom appears in public, but this does not mean that these mercenaries who respect strength have never seen his portrait, even if the mercenaries may not recognize him when they meet, but combined with him After the deeds of being able to single out so many monsters alone, maybe someone will really be able to recognize him.

Unfortunately, in such a mercenary group, there was indeed such a guy who had carefully studied David's portrait.After the mercenaries looked at each other for a while, one of the mercenaries who seemed to have the most fighting experience and had many scars on his arms immediately raised his finger in horror and pointed at their leaving backs.

"Dai... Dai..."

David Xi, who was accidentally recognized, was already on the way back with Thaddeus and the dangling black ball hanging on his arm. became blurred.

After moving rapidly for a period of time, David Xi finally stopped not far from the walls of the Seven Cities, and conveniently put the black ball that was about to vomit on the ground, and then looked back at Sadae who was still calm. s.

"There's a question." Thaddeus raised his hand and slowly straightened his collar, and said.

"what is the problem?"

"When you were in the city, why didn't you think about covering your face?" Sades asked with raised eyebrows, "From the situation just now, it seems that your face is the most comparable to a wanted criminal. ?”

"The mercenary regiments stationed in the city generally don't appear directly in the towns." David Xi shook his head and explained, "The seven cities are located at the very edge of the empire, and it is almost impossible to see me in the imperial capital. I will not have any contact with ordinary people. If people want to know my appearance, they can only use portraits, and my portraits can only be circulated among the mercenary group and the knights in the city."

"Huh?" Sade Ace glanced at him with a smile, "Shouldn't the portraits of heroes be paraded through the streets? Why is your portrait so confidential?"

"...What misunderstanding do you have about parading in the streets?" David Xi squinted at him, and then explained simply: "This is what my father meant, and I don't bother to say the specifics. Anyway, although there are not many people who know me, but Members of the mercenary regiment stationed in the city have this possibility."

"Then let's not mention this for now." Saad Ace chuckled twice, and when David Xi turned to look in the direction of the city gate, he asked again: "After stepping into the city gate, our card does not exist at all in essence. The contract is coming to an end. The second contract I proposed at the time-are you interested?"
