to blame

Ming Xia felt that the picture in front of her was very familiar.

The difference is that when I saw this situation for the first time, the black smoke rising from the torn bird carcass condensed a human face, a woman's face.But this time, it was the slim figure of a woman.

She leaned over slightly, as if looking at them intently.

The smoke continued to rise, making her figure more and more clear, and her face seemed to become more distinct.

The team members who were surrounded by the fire and kept throwing the corpses of Gu carvings in it also stopped, retreated cautiously, and slowly gathered around Nanjiang.

Ming Xia carefully hugged Qing Qiu into his arms, lowered his voice and asked Nan Jiang, "Is it the one from last time?"

Nan Jiang quickly gave him a look.He felt a little regretful that he didn't have Qingqiu's ability. It would be great if he could control his consciousness and talk to Ming Xia quietly.

Ming Xia got the answer she wanted from his eyes.

In fact, he still wanted to ask another question. The animal in front of him obviously didn't seem to be alive... it should be an energy body, right?

What is the nature of its energy?

The thicker the smoke, the clearer the woman's features became.With a sharp face, a pair of eyes looked back and forth at the few people in front of him, and the cold eyes were full of malice.

She looked down at the beeping fire under her feet, with a rather sinister smile on her face, "Suppressing demons?!"

Her voice was soft, with a sharp ending, with a hint of indescribable charm, "Let me think about how to settle this account. How many clansmen have been killed by Zhen Yaosi? Can you count them?"

Nan Jiang was also looking at her, "The Eagle King?"

If she were the Eagle King, it would be a bit unexpected.

The woman stood up straight and maintained a rather reserved posture, but her voice gradually cooled down, "From ancient times to the present, there have been many cannibals, why are tigers and leopards protected by humans? To be exterminated?!"

Ming Xia was so angry with her shameless words that her fingertips trembled.This girl has such a big face, is she justified in eating people?Should humans feed them?

Pooh!

Nan Jiang shook his head, "The Gu Diao clan was not exterminated by humans, but because you, the leader, failed. You made the worst decision and brought your clan to a dead end with your own hands. If you want to blame it, blame yourself .”

Diao Wang's complexion changed drastically, "Shut up!"

A slight smile floated on Nanjiang's face, "Look, you know it well. You just don't want to admit it. In ancient times, Nuwa divided the fiefdoms among the demons and gave you the land of the extreme north. In front of Nuwa, you I promised that I would never leave the fief, but how did you do it? It was you who broke the promise first, and the demon town master resisted later. King Diao, all the consequences of this should be borne by you."

A look of resentment appeared on the smoky face of the Eagle King, "The extreme northern land is the most barren fiefdom, do you want me to sit and watch my people starve to death?!"

"Whether you will starve to death, you know it well," Nan Jiang retorted, "I just want to know, who told you that eating human offal alive can improve the cultivation of the Gu carving clan?"

The Eagle King paused slightly.

"Facts have proved that eating live internal organs did not achieve the effect he said. This is a lie. You understand it yourself, right? You just dare not admit it, you don't want to admit it, and wishful thinking put all the responsibility on the town Monster."

Nan Jiang sneered, "King Diao, is it true that you can feel at ease that you have done nothing wrong only if you believe that Zhenyaosi did something wrong? Did you not give wrong orders because of your stupidity, so that you killed your entire clan? "

"Shut up! Shut up!" The Eagle King was furious, stretched out his hands, and condensed a huge broad knife in the smoke.

The little fox in Ming Xia's arms suddenly moved, Ming Xia lowered his head, and saw Qingqiu get up from his arms limply, with a pair of bright black eyes staring nervously at the Eagle King.

"Qingqiu," Ming Xia touched it carefully, "Are you alright?"

Qingqiu shook his little ears, suddenly raised his claws, and screamed loudly.

Ming Xia's hands trembled, almost throwing Qingqiu out.He had never heard such a piercing cry from Qingqiu, it was sharp and thin, like a boning knife, piercing straight into people's brains.

Nan Jiang, Li Youran and others also showed painful expressions.

"Shut up! Shut up!" The Eagle King seemed to be affected by the scream, and the broad knife in his hand swung, but he couldn't cut it off.

The Eagle King shouted angrily, raised the broad knife again, and swung it down towards the place where Nanjiang and the others were.

Because of the swift swing of the broad knife condensed from the black smoke, a long phantom was drawn in mid-air.Before the knife arrived, the scorching smoke had already blown towards his face.

There was an extremely strong smell of blood in the smoke, and the moment he approached, Ming Xia even had the illusion that he heard the wailing cries of countless innocent souls sealed in the blade.

The hairs all over Ming Xia's body stood on end.He couldn't explain what he felt at this moment, but he was actually shaken by this inexplicable voice.

The longbow landed.

Ming Xia was overwhelmed by the voice from the void.He wanted to pick up the longbow at his feet, but his hands were shaking and he couldn't grasp anything.Even Qingqiu couldn't hold him anymore.

Qingqiu broke away from Ming Xia's embrace suddenly, like a small cannonball fully wound up, it rushed out towards Diao Wang.In Ming Xia's dizzy and blackened field of vision, he only saw Qingqiu's small white figure collide head-on with Diao Wang's broad knife in mid-air.

Ming Xia's breathing and heartbeat stopped instantly.In the next second, the shock wave generated by the violent collision swayed around, throwing everyone around out.

Nan Jiang reacted very quickly, he grabbed Ming Xia's shoulder strap, pulled him into his arms, and hugged his head tightly.The bodies of the two people overturned the driving car and slammed into the old plum tree with the thickness of a bowl at the back.

Ming Xia got up from Nan Jiang's arms in a daze, reached out and touched Nan Jiang's chest, "Are you all right?"

Nan Jiang's back just hit the trunk of the plum tree, and his internal organs seemed to be falling apart.He coughed twice, and raised his body from the ground with difficulty.

"No...it's okay." He pressed Ming Xia's hand, and quickly lowered his head to rub Ming Xia's forehead.

The people of the second team got up from the ground staggeringly. Fortunately, although the driving car shook for a long time, fortunately, the ground was stable enough. It only moved back a few meters and was not overturned.

The burning fires also dispersed in an instant, and dots of flames flickered in the bushes, and the smoke that flowed into the body of the Eagle King suddenly weakened a lot.

Fortunately, Nanjiang had sprayed flame retardants before, otherwise they would be in danger if the fire could not be controlled.

In mid-air, Diao Wang and Qingqiu were still in a stalemate.

Ming Xia watches in horror as his beloved little fox wags its big tail and slowly... swells? !

Ming Xia suspected that he was hallucinating when he fell, he closed his eyes and opened them again, and found that he was not mistaken, the little fox in mid-air was indeed a circle bigger than before.

What is the principle? !

Ming Xia picked up the long bow on the ground, and pulled out a long arrow from the quiver.

He remembered that Qingqiu said that its ability is to manipulate other people's consciousness.Diao Wang didn't make any extra moves at the moment, could it be understood that she was also going all out to fight against Qingqiu's ability?

Ming Xia aimed at Diao Wang's temple.For any species, the brain is the most critical part.

The Eagle King seemed to have noticed Ming Xia's small movements, her eyes flashed rapidly, but her body never moved.

The long arrow shot out, passing through the smog-condensed head of the Eagle King like lightning.The smoke exploded with a bang, and Qingqiu, who was in a stalemate, also fell from mid-air with his limbs spread wide.

Ming Xia reflexively wanted to pounce on it to catch it, but when he pounced on it, his outstretched arms didn't catch anything.Ming Xia looked up and saw Qingqiu floating above his head as if being supported by something.

Qingqiu fluttered in the wind like a flattened leaf.Just shaking like this, its body seemed to get bigger again.

Ming Xia froze with her arms open, "...Did I have an illusion?"

The window of the driving car not far away fell down, and Tang Xun poked his head out and shouted loudly: "The energy fluctuation of the Eagle King has disappeared..."

Ming Xia asked Nan Jiang in a low voice, "Escaped?"

Nan Jiang nodded.

Diao Wang has hatred for human beings, especially the demon hunters of the demon town, so it will be very troublesome for her to escape.But if he wanted to keep her with the ability of the few of them, it would be like a dream.

Thinking about the manpower and material resources spent by the demon town to arrest the eagle king, Nan Jiang could only curse in his heart aggrieved; wait for me!

Tang Xun began to yell again, "Qingqiu's energy fluctuates abnormally, and the fluctuation range continues to increase... Did this little guy swallow the elixir secretly?!"

No one knows whether Qingqiu has swallowed the elixir, but there is a thin layer of light around its body, which looks a bit like the soft and dazzling light that Ming Xia saw on his grandma's pearl necklace. Purpose halo.

The brilliance flowed and became thicker at a speed visible to the naked eye.Strands of silver light shuttled through the mist.Like needles one by one, weaving a cocoon-like thing on the top of their heads.

At this time, even a layman like Ming Xia could clearly feel the disturbing energy fluctuations in the air, similar to the feeling of static electricity, rippling away from them wave by wave.

Nan Jiang was the first to come back to his senses, calling everyone to sort out the situation at the scene.The slaughtered gu carving corpses should be packed together and burned, and the places where sparks scattered should be checked one by one, so as not to cause wildfires.As for Qingqiu...

It seems to have to float for a while...

Then let it float first.

It actually took less than a quarter of an hour for Ming Xia to go from being stunned at the beginning, to gradually calming down, to cleaning up the scene with everyone, and occasionally looking up at the cocoons in mid-air.

Tang Xun was still sitting in the cockpit comparing the instruments, reporting to them the energy fluctuations in mid-air in real time, "The energy fluctuations have begun to stabilize..."

Nan Jiang explained to Ming Xia from the side, "Qingqiu just recovered its energy not long ago, but most of the energy in its demon core is still in a state of inactivation. It needs time to digest and fuse. It was an emergency just now. We, all of our energies were stimulated at once.”

Nan Jiang pointed to the glowing cocoon in midair, "These should be energy clusters that it didn't have time to absorb."

Ming Xia threw the corpse of the Gu carving in his hand into the fire, glanced worriedly at the cocoon in mid-air, "It won't break if it absorbs so much energy all at once?"

Nanjiang, "..."

Li Youran next to him couldn't hold back, and rolled his eyes at him, "You really know how to worry."

Ming Xia smiled wryly, he knew it was just worrying, but he couldn't help it.

Nan Jiang passed behind him, put his arm around his neck and shook it slightly.

Ming Xia couldn't help laughing.He thought maybe he was thinking too much, making it difficult for others to see it.He patted Nanjiang's arm, "I don't want to think about it anymore. I just wait patiently."

The corner of Nan Jiang's mouth twitched slightly, he let go of him, and walked to the side of the driving car expressionlessly to talk to Tang Xun.

Li Youran's eyes turned around on them, always feeling that the atmosphere was a bit subtle, as if something was wrong?
