to blame

Qingqiu roared furiously, red flames glowed all over his body.

There was a commotion in the group of rats, and those who jumped up to fight obviously began to shrink back.

The flames around Qingqiu were more intense, reflecting his white hair into bright orange.From a distance, it seems that the whole big fox is on fire.

Ming Xia couldn't help raising her hand to cover her eyes.

He felt that the fire light on Qingqiu's body gave him an extremely uncomfortable feeling, no, it was not uncomfortable, but the fire light seemed to radiate, making his body hot from the inside out.

He felt like he had been in a microwave oven, and if the temperature rose again, he would be cooked.

Then he heard someone beside him calling him in surprise, "Ming Xia?!"

Ming Xia opened his eyes, and felt that the flames on Qingqiu's body made his entire field of vision red, and his hand holding the Dragon Tongue Bow seemed to be glowing, and at this moment, Su Bai's bow had turned into a Demonic blood red.

After a moment of stalemate, the group of rats began to disperse hesitantly.

The lamp post of the emergency light shone towards him, causing Ming Xia's eyeballs to hurt.In the dizzying red light, he saw Qingqiu rushing towards him covered in red light, his fur was a little messy, and his beautiful fox eyes looked pitiful because they were full of panic, he couldn't help it It hurts a little.

Ming Xia felt that Qingqiu must have never seen so many mice. Think about how the roast chicken on the plate suddenly jumped up and wanted to bite. His little fox must have been frightened!

Ming Xia resisted his dizziness and hugged the big fox, and then weighed it twice, "Don't be afraid, be good."

Qingqiu, "...Huh?!"

Ming Xia walked a few steps forward with his beloved big fox in his arms, suddenly staggered and fell to the ground, Qingqiu was frightened half to death by his action, and hurriedly jumped out of his arms, "What's the matter? What's the matter?"

Ming Xia couldn't get up anymore.He himself was also stupid, why didn't he realize that he was able to easily hug the big fox weighing more than 80 kilograms a few minutes ago? !

Possessed by a monster? !

Ming Xia looked at his hands, raised his head and looked at Qing Qiu in a daze, "Did I hug you just now?"

Qingqiu nodded foolishly, and then showed a horrified expression.

Ming Xia looked at the Dragon Tongue Bow in his hand again, it wasn't red either, obviously he had hallucinations just now.

Nan Jiang caught up from behind, stretched out his hand to help him up, and then checked him up and down.He found a circle of burn marks on Ming Xia's palm.This was caused by the rapid collision between the energy in his body that was suddenly abundant and the energy contained in the Dragon Tongue Bow.

In other words, the soaring energy fluctuations in Ming Xia's body triggered the Dragon Tongue Bow's alarm system, which forcibly absorbed the energy radiated by Ming Xia, and pushed back the energy that it could not absorb.

Ming Xia obviously didn't realize what was going on, but everyone around him noticed it, and everyone reacted differently. Mr. Bi was very relieved, and Liu En was just envious—the strength of his mother's second team was stronger than theirs. The team is strong, and now a great god has awakened.

Tu Qing's mood was more complicated, because he wanted to respect Ming Xia's ambition, but also worried about his safety.At the same time, he was worried about the safety of himself and Mingming.If Ming Xia is a demon hunter, then Ming Ming has a high chance of awakening, what should he do then?Are the husband and wife going to catch the demon? !

Ming Xia leaned against Nan Jiang's arms in a dizzy state, her whole body was sore and limp, and she felt a sense of loss of strength, "It seemed that my strength suddenly increased..."

Nan Jiang nodded calmly, but the corner of his mouth raised a happy arc.Because the underground cave was dark, he could see clearly. Just now, a group of red light appeared vaguely behind Ming Xia. Although it disappeared in a flash, it was enough for him to see clearly that it was the shape of Suzaku.

Enviously, Liu Enzheng began to assign people to check the situation of each team, count the number of injured, and then check the direction again.

Ming Xia's symptoms of collapse gradually improved, and her calm state returned.He knew what might have happened just now, but now was clearly not the time to talk about it.He could see from Nanjiang's reaction that this was not a bad thing, and for now, it was enough.Other matters can be discussed after leaving this place.

The rats backed away, but didn't go far. They stayed crowded in the shadows, watching the group of humans passing by their territory with cold eyes.

Ming Xia didn't know how to evaluate their experience, because theoretically speaking, the reason why this war broke out was because they broke into the rat's territory.

Humans moved forward cautiously, while the group of rats chose to die down after suffering heavy losses.

Two hours later, they encountered a second shaft-like water intake.

The structure of the water intake room is similar to that of the ancient river city. The height from the underground river to the water intake room is nearly six meters, but the exit at the top of the water intake room is blocked by a thick wall.

There were also cracks on the walls and ground of the water intake room. It seemed that an earthquake had erupted in this area, which blocked the exit.Tang Xun did a test and found that behind the wall was a layer of sand up to three meters thick.

Nan Jiang discussed with Liu Enzheng and gave up his plan to go out from here.In addition, another important reason is that it is not far from the ancient river city. After going out, if they encounter wolves again, they will be in a very passive situation.

They took a short rest near the water intake room. Tang Xun and the technicians of the sixth team checked the coordinates, and once again determined the location of the ancient city of Liangtai and the direction they were heading.

In order to save energy, they only turned on two emergency lights at both ends of the team during the break.

Ming Xia and Qing Qiu sat closer to the rear.Ever since Qingqiu hugged him, Ming Xia has been in a somewhat weak state. Fortunately, a section of the road later was an underground cave, and the space was relatively open. Qingqiu would not be unable to walk away with him on his back, otherwise he would not be able to walk. Know how to keep up with the big team.

One person and one fox cuddle up to each other and whisper.

"Really?" Ming Xia found it unbelievable even though he had Bi Lao's vaccination before, "Are you reading that right? It's really Suzaku?"

"How could you be mistaken?" The big fox was not happy, "Qinglong, Baihu, Suzaku, Xuanwu... This kind of situation will happen before the awakening of the demon master who inherited the blood of the beast. Well, it's like the water that has to be taken out before it boils." Like steam."

Ming Xia was amused by his metaphor, "Will this happen many times?"

"It varies from person to person," Big Fox doesn't know much about this, but he has had a blood test before and has contact with people in the technical team, so he knows some common sense things, "It is said that Li Youran awakened Before, similar energy fluctuations occurred three times."

Ming Xia had lingering fears, "What if it happened on the street? Wouldn't others suspect it?"

"It would be easy if it happened on the street." Qingqiu reminded him, "The light is very weak, and you can't see it under the sun. And the time is so short, who would notice it."

This is true.

Ming Xia had mixed feelings of joy and sorrow. Everyone saw Suzaku appearing behind him. This was certainly a good thing, but for the Ming family, it was an earth-shaking event.

The branch of the Ming family has been controlled by Jiu Xiao for so many years, and no descendant has ever awakened the blood of Suzaku. There must be Jiu Xiao's hands and feet in it.But the question is, is there only Jiu Xiao, can this be done?

In fact, ever since Bi Lao mentioned Suzaku, Ming Xia doubted whether a certain ancestor of the Ming family would have made a deal with Jiu Xiao.Jiu Xiao provided some kind of benefits, this unscrupulous ancestor handed over the control over the descendants-anyway, the benefits were actually piled up in front of his eyes, and the descendants, speaking out of conscience, he would see them anyway less than.

During this period, all Ming family members who had some sense of resistance, such as Dong Xin's grandfather, were all eliminated by Jiuxiao.In the family that has lasted for thousands of years, I don't know how many bloody men died at the hands of Jiu Xiao.

Thinking of it this way, Ming Xia shuddered a little.And the little bit of guilt that he had locked Jiuxiao into the seal of Diao Wang finally dissipated.

The old ancestors of the Ming family may not be able to pursue responsibility, but Jiuxiao definitely deserved what he deserved.

The more Ming Xia thought about it, the angrier he became, and the more he thought about it, the sadder he became, "Jiu Xiao, that bitch... is too cheap for him..."

"Don't be angry," Qingqiu put his big paw on his knee and patted him considerately, "He is now locked in the coffin of the Eagle King, and he can't go anywhere. He must be more angry than you."

Ming Xia's anger calmed down a little.

"Also, and," Qingqiu covered his mouth with his fur paws, and chuckled, "He is a crane, think about the environment in which the crane lives. But now he is imprisoned in a world of ice and snow. In the extreme north, even if he didn't freeze to death, he would still be acclimatized...he must be about to explode!"

Ming Xia felt happier, "Yes!"

Qingqiu showed a gossip face, "He was still jealous of Erfei back then, sour him to death! When we go out from here, I will definitely burn paper in front of the carved king's seal, and tell Jiuxiao that he has already made love to Erfei in his heart." I'm getting married!"

Ming Xia couldn't help but laugh, "This... is a bit wicked."

"What is wickedness?" Qingqiu was dissatisfied with this evaluation, "Who dares to call himself wicked in front of Jiuxiao?"

Ming Xia, "..."

It really is.

"The Ming family is going to be in chaos for a while," Ming Xia thought of the stupid things his second uncle and his son were instigated by Jiu Xiao, and wondered if they would regret it when the mystery was revealed.

Qingqiu suddenly touched Ming Xia with his elbow, signaling him to look forward.

At this time, most of the team members sat on the side to rest.The situation in the underground caves is more complicated, and they don't dare to eat food that may emit odors. They drink two sips of water and chew two compressed biscuits.Among the figures resting on shifts, a slender figure cautiously walked towards them.

Ming Xia frowned slightly.

He thought of the energy mark that Xie Rong left in the crevice of the stone.What should Xie Rong do if Xie Rong passed by them and said to go to a place a little further behind to relieve himself?Do you want to go with me?The problem is that even if they were watching from the side, Xie Rong could touch it anywhere, they wouldn't be able to see it without instruments.

Ming Xia was beating his heart, when he saw Xie Rong stop in front of them, staring at Ming Xia with piercing eyes, "I have a question to ask you. Why are you Suzaku?"

Seeing that he wasn't going to sneak behind to make trouble, Ming Xia felt a little relieved, "Uh, I'm not sure."

Xie Rong frowned, "Didn't you know before?"

"If I remember correctly, I wouldn't know about the bloodline of the demon hunter before awakening. You...you don't even know about this, do you?" Ming Xia remembered that Xie Rong was also a big monster, although he didn't know it was What kind of species, but it is said that the years of cultivation are also very long.

Xie Rong was a little impatient, "But your family has never said that they are the descendants of Jiuxiao? Is it possible that they don't know too? There must be something wrong here."

Ming Xia was puzzled by his question, "I don't need to thank the boss for worrying about the Ming family's affairs."

"Ghosts worry about your family!" Xie Rong became a little anxious, "I just want to know who learned Jiu Xiao's various concealment methods on the Ming family? He is so powerful, he must have a master's inheritance right?"

"Sorry I don't know." Ming Xia didn't want to be told by him.Don't say he doesn't know about this issue, even if he knows, he won't bring it up and talk about it.

"Think about it again," Xie Rong incited him impatiently, "Jiu Xiao is an enemy of the Ming family, any details related to him are very important, maybe we can find a way to deal with him."

Ming Xia asked him back, "What does this have to do with you?"

Xie Rong also saw Ming Xia's defense against him, knowing that if he didn't say something, Ming Xia would definitely not talk to him.It's not convenient for him to do it forcefully. First of all, the environment is not right, and there is a vixen sitting next to him.

Xie Rong sighed, "I came here to find someone. This person may have been harmed by Jiu Xiao."

Ming Xia and Qing Qiu looked at each other, then looked at Xie Rong together, "Are you sure?"

"I wasn't sure before." Xie Rong said, "But since you are a descendant of Suzaku, it means that Jiu Xiao must have played tricks on your family. The means of harming others are the same. Even if I am not sure, I am at least [-] to [-]% sure gone."

Ming Xia felt that what he said was quite touching.But he didn't trust Xie Rong, even if he knew the Ming family's private affairs, he wouldn't tell him now.

"Sorry, I don't know much about family affairs." Ming Xia said, "Boss Xie, if you're not in a hurry, wait for me to go back and ask the elders at home to see if they know."

Xie Rong had a disappointed look on his face, "Then... don't forget."
