to blame

As night fell, the cave was even darker.

After Mingxia hit the cave wall for the nth time, Qingtan condensed a small ball of energy, and remotely controlled it to float in front of them to illuminate them.Although it was only a little fluorescent like a firefly, it was enough for them to see the outline of the surroundings clearly.

The further you go along the cave, the wider the space becomes.

There are occasional raised rocks on the dark rock walls, and there are no traces of artificial processing.Some places are also embedded with unknown ore crystals, and even a little bit of faint light can reflect dazzling brilliance on their surfaces.

At the end of the cave is a huge cave. The cave walls are densely packed with caves one after another. At first glance, it looks like they have entered a huge hive.

Ming Xia murmured, "This is not the habit of mammals."

More like birds.

Ming Xia once watched some documentaries, and the birds living by the sea built their nests on the cliffs in groups like this.

"Longing to fly." Ming Xia felt incredible, "It is impossible for all Gu carvings to have the ability to fly. When we besieged us last time, only nearly one-fifth or even less of the Gu carvings could fly. But such a lair... …that is, when they are not yet capable of flying, they are ready to fly sooner or later.”

Qing Tan was also a little surprised, "The ambition is not small."

At this moment, Ming Xia had a little understanding of Gu carvings.Perhaps some races are restless by nature, and they will never adapt to a comfortable life.

Only by fighting and killing can they truly live.

Thinking about it this way, Ming Xia felt that Diao Wang probably didn't regret taking her clansmen to leave the extreme north.

She may recall the sweet snow in her hometown over and over again in the depths of her consciousness, but what she loves more is the opportunity to plunge into killing and fighting passionately.

"Ambitious?" Ming Xia sneered, "Maybe it's just her nature, she doesn't want to live a comfortable life, she just wants to kill people and eat people to be comfortable. There's no excuse for that...you'll have to pay it back sooner or later."

Qing Tan gave him a thumbs up, "Your mother is so domineering!"

Ming Xia, "..."

I don't want to talk to him anymore.

Can you still talk properly? !

Ming Xia and Qing Tan searched for Diao Wang's body inside the seal, and the outside of the seal was also in chaos.

Qingqiu was so angry and impatient that he forgot to change back to his human form, and ran around the entire seal a few times with his big tail flicking, except for a backpack with its training uniform found in the grass, which was related to Mingxia No trace of it was found.

Qingqiu cried while holding the backpack.

Nanjiang was also in a hurry, but the little fox was sitting there, crying until the fur on his body was wet with tears, which made people angry and funny.

"It's getting old, why do you still look like a milk doll who can't find a bottle?" He picked up the little fox and put it on his shoulders, coaxing it patiently, "Okay, stop howling. Ming Xia will not Something will happen, no matter what danger he encounters, Jiu Xiao will not let him die."

Qingqiu shuddered, and suddenly remembered that no matter whether Jiuxiao had evil intentions or not, Qingtan was still with him, and even though he was still recovering from his injuries, it was okay to protect Mingxia when necessary.

Qingqiu smiled through his tears, "Okay, I won't cry, let's look for it quickly."

Nanjiang, "..."

How to say cry when you cry, and laugh when you talk about laughing?

Are foxes such incomprehensible creatures?Or did something abnormal happen mentally after becoming a spirit?

Nanjiang couldn't understand Qingqiu's unpredictable brain circuit, so he could only put this complicated problem aside, and the happy little fox arranged for people to continue to investigate the seal.

Tang Xun held the monitoring instrument removed from the road car and checked it back and forth around the seal. The sound button of the instrument was turned off, but a row of small red lights on the electronic screen kept flashing.

Tang Xun compared the data obtained from several monitorings, raised his head and said to Nan Jiang: "From the data, the energy membrane around the seal belongs to a demon clan that has not been recorded."

This layer of energy membrane was destroyed by Ming Xia, or the Jiu Xiao who suddenly exploded in Xia's body.With such a connection, how could there be a feeling that this monster clan deliberately left traces just to let Jiu Xiao recognize him?

When it came to the grievances and grievances of the monster clan, Nanjiang called Yaoyao who had come to watch the fun, and tied a small bag around its neck, asking him to send a letter to Erfei, asking him to come over.

He wanted to ask Erfei, how many enemies does Jiuxiao have?

In order to cooperate with Nanjiang's work, Erfei set up a barrier around the nine-acre Umeda to block the sight of outside prying eyes.

He was leading the clansmen to search for the hidden Gu Eagle in the dense forest, when he saw Yaoyao running back happily.

Yaoyao was entrusted with important tasks for the first time, and he felt that he was already a little man standing up to the sky. When he came back with the letter, his tail was almost up to the sky.When Erbi took the small bag from its neck, it was still a little bit reluctant, until Erbi stroked its furry face and praised it, then it happily ran aside to play, wagging its tail.

Erfei handed over the cleaning work to several elders in the clan.They have also been incarnate for many years, but they are cautious by nature and have doubts about the demon hunters, so they didn't show their human forms to get close to these demon hunters.

In fact, until now they have been skeptical about Erfei's contact with Nanjiang.Their family has never been close to human beings. If they were not locked in the formation and had nowhere to go, no one would want to take the risk to contact the demon town.

Erpi sensed the special energy fluctuation in the air before he got near the seal.

The cultivation of the monsters is said to be to capture the free energy clusters in nature, and then absorb them into their bodies.But different races have different ways of cultivating.This has led to similar energy fluctuations among monsters of the same family, even if they are different in strength or weakness.

For example, when human beings recognize the same kind, they will look at the face and identity, and then understand the personality, and remember the characteristics of this person in terms of behavior patterns.The monster race distinguishes the same kind by virtue of their different energy fluctuations.

Nanjiang invited Erfei over here to see if there were any new characters that they didn't know about—because it was too much like a trap.

Erbi walked around the seal with a hesitant expression, "I can't tell, but I feel a little familiar with this residual wave. It seems that I met it somewhere a long time ago. Let me think about it."

Nan Jiang was also overjoyed, he didn't expect to get a clue from Er Fei.

"However, this is not the most important thing," Nan Jiang reminded him, "Ming Xia disappeared here, come and see, do you find anything?"

Er Fei didn't know that Ming Xia was gone, he was taken aback for a moment and realized what Nanjiang meant, "Do you think it has something to do with Jiuxiao?"

Nan Jiang nodded.

The little fox sitting on his shoulder also looked at Erfei a little anxiously.What it's worried about is where Ming Xia has gone. As for whether it wants to deal with him or Jiu Xiao, it thinks it can think about it later.

There is another reason for inviting Erfei to come here, that is, Erfei has had contact with Diao Wang before, he is familiar with Jiumu Umeda, and he is also familiar with Diao Wang's seal.

Nanjiang needed his opinion to compare with the results detected by human machines.

Erpi understood their eagerness to find a companion, but he didn't quite understand what role he could play in it.However, after he walked around the seal twice, he didn't think so.

"The seal has been opened." Erfei showed an unbelievable expression, "The Eagle King has always wanted to pry the seal... Could it be that she really succeeded?"

Nan Jiang wasn't particularly surprised, "We didn't pay attention to this matter before, because the Eagle King didn't extend his tentacles out of Umeda. However, there is such a large colony of Gu carvings in Umeda, which is not normal. Impossible, the Eagle King opened up some kind of space secret passage? So there are Gu carvings from outside the formation coming here?"

In Zhiguai novels, there is a very vivid term for space secret passage, which is called teleportation array.

The same is to use the free energy between heaven and earth.Nanjiang once heard from people in the reference room that this secret method consumes too much energy, and the requirements for those who practice it are also extremely high, and there are not many people or demons who can do it.

If this guess is true, it means that they will face a very difficult enemy.

Erfei shook his head, "I've never seen it before. But... when I was still in A Teng's village, I heard from their elders that a person used this spell to save his companion. But he I also suffered backlash, the demon core was shattered, and I almost lost my life."

When Nan Jiang heard the word Yaodan, his heart skipped a beat, "...Baizhu?"

Er Fei nodded, "I heard that they were ambushed, and all the powerful monsters in the village were taken away. Bai Yu tried his best to open the secret space passage, and moved his brothers to a safe place. As a result, the demon pill was shattered, and after that, Jiuxiao went to ask for medicine."

Nanjiang felt that the huge jigsaw puzzle that Erfei had unfolded for them before had finally been filled in again.

No wonder Jiuxiao traveled thousands of miles to the southern border to look for Aunt Wu.Nan Jiang thought to himself, it turned out that among those who were rescued back then, there was a loyal subordinate named Jiu Xiao.

Nanjiang sighed, this was a fateful friendship, but I don't know why they turned their faces into enemies in the end?

Erfei shook his head, he couldn't answer Nanjiang's question.

"Jiu Xiao might be the one who opened the seal." Erfei guessed, "But it wasn't him who put the barrier around the seal before..."

"If the person who did this is Jiu Xiao's enemy," Nan Jiang said, "everything will make sense."

Er Fei looked at Nan Jiang in surprise, a little surprised that the two of them thought of going together.

Nan Jiang nodded slightly, "I guess, the person who set up this layer of enchantment must know that such an arrangement will anger Jiu Xiao and stimulate him to do something."

Er Fei frowned and continued his words, "...Once Jiu Xiao makes a move, the energy riot caused by destroying the barrier may break the seal of the Diao King."

Erpi is also a great monster who has experienced many battles. From the traces at the scene, if you think about the situation at that time, you can understand many things.

"Once the seal is broken, it means that the Eagle King's demon pill is at your fingertips. Even if the crack only exists for a very short time, Jiu Xiao may not be able to resist the temptation to possess the demon pill and go deep into the seal."

"So... this is a trap set against Jiuxiao."

As for the human being parasitized by Jiuxiao, he is just an unlucky ghost who was involved innocently.Er Fei felt that Nanjiang and the others had already guessed these things after analyzing that someone was targeting Jiuxiao.

The difficulty is that Jiuxiao and the host are bound, the host is forced to participate in the battle between the big monsters, and his fragile human body may not be able to persist until the end.

You must know that sealing the bodies of monsters requires a lot of energy-energy that is completely opposite to the energy properties of monsters.This means that the seal itself is an unstable huge energy group.

Like the inside of an inflated balloon, the energy of the demon pill and the energy that suppresses it maintains a delicate balance.Once one of them is touched, even slightly, it is possible to upset this balance.

This kind of imbalance may trigger energy riots and eventually lead to the collapse of the entire seal.

The worst result is: anything involved in the seal will be drawn into the huge energy vortex and smashed to pieces.
