When the devil

The fire was extinguished, and the breath of blood was flooding, those small, very thin bubbles floated in the residual heat, and slid down the cheeks with the bear's mask, splashing into the round pupils.

Man is dead.

Half of his body was soaked in blood.

Silver Fox looked at him like a dirty mouse.

The massacre has just begun, and it is still going on. Monsters appeared from nowhere and tore apart the fleeing monster hunters under the raging fire.

Guo Jianchao sat on the spot, his eyes widened, and his forehead was wet with cold sweat.

But he can't go anywhere.

His calf and knee were pierced by long black thorns on the wide chair. He wanted to beg for mercy, but when he opened his mouth, the blood kept pouring down, blocking his throat so tightly that he could barely breathe. .

"Let's go on, what did you do to monsters when you were in the human world?" Silver Fox was smiling, his eyes were bloodshot: "I have a lot of time, and I will take it back from you slowly."

Less than ten miles away from the abandoned city, there is a small canal surrounded by ruined walls and overgrown with dead trees. This canal is the only one that is clear and light, flowing in a meandering manner.

Murong Chenhao threw two long needles into the water, and not long after, the fish floated up on its belly.

He lit a fire beside a ruined wall, shaved the scales of the fish with a short knife, disemboweled the fish, and then roasted it carelessly by the fire with his clothes on.

When Xia Zhou came back, he smelled the smell of fish, he took one of them, swallowed the meat and bones, then moved to sit opposite Murong Chenhao, bowed his head and licked his paw.

"How's it going?" Murong Chenhao spoke to him.

"Ok?"

"Just now you said to forage for food..."

"Well, I want to eat some little monsters to recover some monster power, but there is not even half a monster around here. I really wonder if it is a monster domain." Xia Zhou's pupils narrowed in the flickering fire, and then continued to lick another a paw.

"You gave me the engraving to save my life back then, but I still retain your monster power." Murong Chenhao pulled up the remaining grilled fish and scorched it on both sides, wanting to make it thicker. He handed it to Xia Zhou and said: " In addition, Silver Fox, she also has your engraving on her body, if you take it back at once, it may recover faster than if you go out to eat monsters."

Xia Zhou glanced at the fish, then at Murong Chenhao, and said flatly: "The magic method of transformation will hurt you too much. I said earlier that you should not make changes that are too different in body shape. Today, you have to reduce it again." Long live."

Murong Chenhao smiled, seeing that Xia Zhou didn't eat, he just collected the fish, and said while criticizing: "I have investigated Yuan Chun, she is not simple, it is said that she is the only survivor of the epidemic after the Nine Infants War , with a special physique that is invulnerable to all poisons, Fairy Yulan accidentally discovered her when she was honing in the world, accepted her as a disciple, and taught her superb medical skills. She wanted to take her to Liuli Mountain, but she did dirty things behind her back , colluded with the officials, disliked the poor and loved the rich, and finally got the help of the nobles to make it to the top, and became the deputy of Xuanhuazong under the Taili Academy..."

"Just a deputy?"

"Hmm... The identity of the suzerain is a mystery, and no news can be found."

Xia Zhou said: "I don't think she looks like someone who will serve the Taili Academy wholeheartedly."

"I agree. If she listened to the arrangement of the Taili Academy, she would not come here alone. That woman regards money as her life, and her goal is to refine you into a demon pill and hand me over to King You."

Murong Chenhao didn't like fish very much, because it was troublesome to eat fish, but fortunately, the fish in Yaoyu was different from the fish in the human world, after picking for a long time, he didn't find any thorns, so he ate it with confidence.

Xia Zhou yawned, lay down, and drooped his tail.

It was cold at night, squatting by the fire to keep warm.

He stared at the beating flame in a daze, and he missed the feeling in Wei Ling's arms.

"Will heartless people also come to the abandoned city?" Xia Zhou asked.

"Yes." Murong Chenhao seemed to have seen through Xia Zhou's thoughts, and said, "Mr. Wei must have sealed you to prevent you from being influenced by the forces of the Eastern Realm. I guess he will return to Yudu next and take Cang Take back the panacea made from scales."

Xia Zhou looked up: "He is really angry."

"I'm not sure if I'm angry or not." Murong Chenhao said, "However, the elixir can help him recover his mana. What's more, it was originally a thing from Liuli Mountain. With his personality, he might not be able to tolerate being taken by the people of the Eastern Realm." to abuse."

Xia Zhou: "What does he want?"

Murong Chenhao: "He wants you to stay in the demon realm. After a few days, the enchantment of the demon gate will change. That is the only chance to return to the human world. Once you miss it, the enchantment will be revived."

Xia Zhou: "I'm going to the world, and mere monsters can't do anything to me."

"After the alternation of the enchantment of the demon gate ends, a new layer of enchantment will be re-injected. Within a hundred years, the enchantment's power to seal demons will be indestructible, and it cannot be compared with the previous enchantment." Murong Chenhao patiently explained: "You are affected by it." It has been more than ten years since people summoned people to come to the world, and forcibly broke into the demon gate to turn into a kitten. For the enchantment, this is the most vulnerable moment."

Xia Zhou: "You want to say that after the enchantment alternates, even if my demon power recovers, I won't be able to get out?"

Murong Chenhao smiled wryly: "If you don't want to accept it, you can try it, but if you really can't get out, in this life, you will never see Wei Ling again."

Xia Zhou froze for a moment.

Only a hundred years.

A hundred years is nothing to a demon, but it is an unattainable long time to a human.

He stretched, stood up, and suddenly jumped forward with his back turned to Murong Chenhao, onto the rocks by the river.

The air flow fluctuated, and the fire was shaken by the wind. He was facing the blood moon, his pupils were stained with blood.

Murong Chenhao lowered his head to eat the fish, and out of the corner of his eye he looked at the bursts of black smoke rising from the jumping flames. He thought he had misread, so he raised his head and saw a black cat demon standing not far away, at its feet, All around, the flood of black flames sparked bursts, as if declaring strength and unwillingness, and scattered in all directions like overwhelming mountains and seas.

The ferocious beast let out a frightening cry, it unleashed all the demonic power, lighting up the dazzling engraving seal, the piercing pain engulfed its whole body, and swallowed the slightly gathered demonic power, but the ferocious beast did not back down, its pupils were scarlet , The eyes are hideous, black flames flooded up, burned the surrounding vegetation, the ground was shattered, and even the canal in front of it was cut off in the middle, leaving a black smoke-filled desolation in the middle of the water.

Murong Chenhao was choked by the fish, patted his chest and said: "Pavilion Master, please do me a favor, it's not easy for us to hide our breath here."

Xia Zhou flicked his tail, turned around and jumped back: "Weiling's seal of naming has been broken, only the seal of Fengyue Tianshi is left, and it will be broken within ten days."

Murong Chenhao said: "We can't wait for ten days, it will soon become bloody and bloody. The Taili Academy has come prepared, and it must completely seal off the gates of the demon realm and the human world."

Xia Zhou said: "It's not impossible, just kill Fengyue Tianshi."

Murong Chenhao heard the charm of hanging dragons from these words. He didn't want to say more, but for some reason, Xia Zhou looked a little serious. In desperation, he sighed and said knowingly: "This method is not good, change it?"

Xia Zhou glanced in the direction of the abandoned city, his eyes flickered slightly, as if he was distracted by something.

The demon power in the air has been covered, and the black smoke drifts away, blowing to pieces the withered leaves.

Xia Zhou called out, "Chen Hao."

Murong Chenhao listened to the voice and looked blankly.

Xia Zhou tilted the cat's head, and when he saw the moth passing by, he scratched it with his paw: "What happened to the note you talked to Mochi before?"

Murong Chenhao said: "I sneaked in to inquire about the situation of the Taili Academy, and found a piece of paper from Guo Jianchao's body. There was a fairy law on that piece of paper. After the ink pool was untied, it said 'take the 梼杌 Yaodan' ', Guo Jianchao made public that he wanted to send a letter to a certain master..."

"Who do you think the master refers to?"

"Fengyue Celestial Master is the most likely. First of all, the fairy method is the spell of Liuli Mountain. The person who can decipher it is very likely to be from Liuli Mountain. Next, Fengyue Tianshi is arrogant, but he is also sent by the court. As long as it is the royal family... "Speaking of this, Murong Chenhao paused for a moment. These days, things happened so fast that he didn't have enough time to organize his thoughts. Now that he thought about it for a while, he realized that he couldn't connect.

Why Guo Jianchao.

With Fengyue Tianshi Chen Xiao's temperament, would he really look at a waste like Guo Jianchao?Since he was sent by the imperial court, the imperial court naturally had a way to send orders to him.

So, why did Gu Xuancheng ask Guo Jianchao to deliver the letter?Is it just to lure Shen Feihuan?Even hurt Bai Lie?But with Guo Jianchao's ability, he was no match for Shen Feihuan and Bai Lie.

"It's not Chen Xiao." Xia Zhou can answer with certainty.

At that time, Xiao Xiao insisted on killing him in order to eliminate the possibility of the demon core.

Murong Chenhao looked at the tumbling fire and laughed inexplicably: "I'm confused."

Xia Zhou finally took a picture of the moth, pressed it in the mud, and raised his eyes to look at Murong Chenhao.

Murong Chenhao met his gaze: "I'm to blame for this, but please rest assured, Pavilion Master, I will find a way to deal with it."

For some reason, Xia Zhou felt that there was an unusual sincerity in Murong Chenhao's eyes, his tone was still lazy and casual, but it seemed that he was quietly swearing, biting his voice so ruthlessly.

"No need to waste time." Xia Zhou moved his eyes away, and looked back at the black smoke wandering above the abandoned city.

Murong Chenhao tightened his lips and did not answer, he lowered his head and continued to look at the fire, the flickering light of the fire became the only light spot in those deep pupils.

"Kill them all."

Xia Zhou said to him.

"Yaomen, don't let anyone go out."

Many people gathered near the abandoned city.

From the main street to the alley, there are demon hunters all the way, some of them are in small groups, some are alone, most of the abandoned houses on both sides are first come, first served, a little closer will arouse the vigilance of the occupants, attract hostile glances.

But today, the evil wind was blowing, the sky was dark, and two unexpected guests came to the city gate at some point.

One of them is dressed in white, with a long tongue sticking out with a smile on his face, and an official hat of "get rich at first sight" on his head. A pair of sharp eyes are looking around in the eye sockets of the mask. Wherever his eyes pass, everyone runs away.The second was wrapped in a black cloak, with a fierce face, and the official hat read "The World is Peaceful", and his steps were light, arousing a lingering chill.

"Yes, it's black and white impermanence! Why..."

The demon hunter hiding behind the house was scared to death.

"Isn't this the demon domain, the underworld?!"

"Don't, don't make a sound."

The wind swept the long street, and it was empty. Before the "black and white impermanence" approached, all the people had run away, only the torches on both sides of the street were left, shaking the oppressive world of the night into a daze.

The so-called do as the Romans do, monster hunters usually wear masks to cover their appearance, Bai Lie and Wei Ling are no exception, their masks are taken from Chen Xiao, Wei Ling is black impermanence, Bai Lie is white impermanence.

"There are so many people..." Although there was no one on the street at the moment, "Bai Wuchang" Bai Lie could still accurately detect the movements lurking in the dark around him. The demon realm in the human world has messed up the rules for these people, hunting monsters, refining alchemy, and demons chaotic the world, it is really abominable."

"Heiwuchang" Wei Ling straightened the crooked official hat: "We should change."

Bai Lie: "What?"

Wei Ling: "You are very suitable to be Hei Wuchang."

Bai Lie sighed, and the long tongue on the mask wobbled: "What should we do now, anyone who sees Chen Xiao's outfit will have to run away."

Wei Ling said indifferently: "This is not right, ask someone, and say that we are here to run an errand, whoever dares to lie, dragged to the underworld to serve."

After finishing speaking, he took a look at the room next to him. It happened that the people in the room were also looking out cautiously. When their eyes met, they screamed in fright and fell silent.

Bai Lie was stunned for a moment. He always thought that Wei Ling was a rigorous, upright and rational person, but now it seems that he was thinking too much. This Wei Xianzun has hidden an unscrupulous heart, but he is usually a teacher and cannot be easily exposed .

What's more, not only did Wei Ling not feel ashamed in this outlandish outfit, but she also enjoyed it, staring at the long tongue on Bai Lie's mask several times, as if she really wanted to touch it.

Bai Lie said: "There's no need to arrest people. I heard from Shen Feihuan that there should be an inn near the abandoned city, and there are also people from the Taili Academy. When you find them, just ask them."

He lifted up his long tongue and swung it over his shoulder.

Wei Ling asked, "Do you know where they are?"

Bai Lie answered honestly: "I don't know."

Wei Ling turned her head to the side, looked at Bai Lie's side face for a moment, and said nothing.

Bai Lie stared ahead, the surrounding light was very dark, only the dangling torches inserted by the abandoned houses on the side of the street supported the light of the whole alley: "I have to find Shen Feihuan first, as long as that kid disappears, nothing good will happen."

Wei Ling agrees with his words. Shen Feihuan is like a dog with a keen sense of smell. He can always add fuel to the fire before things happen. Turn things in the dark to the light for others to see.

Wei Ling finally couldn't hold it back, and reached out to grab the long tongue that fell out of Bai Lie's mask. Bai Lie looked over inexplicably, and he also pretended to be serious and continued to talk about business: "During the time you were in the demon domain, how can Shen Feihuan get along with you?" What strange place?"

"No. When he was with me, he was honest and obedient in everything he did. Every time I saw his appearance, I really doubted that the madman I knew was not the same person."

"He recognizes you as his master."

"At the beginning, I thought he would stay in the Snow Wolf Army and treat him like his own younger brother... But, he is ruthless and takes pleasure in killing indiscriminately. Although he immediately admits his mistakes every time, what he did has long been beyond admitting his mistakes Something that can be made up for." Bai Lie's eyes sank a little helplessly: "Besides, he didn't really understand what he did wrong at all."

Bai Lie originally wanted to say that Shen Feihuan killed people like hemp, but after much deliberation, it seemed that it was not his turn to say this. As the commander of the Snow Wolf Army, Bai Lie had long been accustomed to the stench of fighting on the battlefield and the stench of flesh and blood, and even said that he There was much more blood on his hands than Shen Feihuan's.

In his eyes, what Shen Feihuan did wrong was not "killing someone", but "killing someone who shouldn't be killed".

Wei Ling pondered for a moment, then loosened the tongue of "Bai Wuchang" with his fingertips, and his figure fell behind Bai Lie. Bai Lie noticed that he slowed down and stopped to wait for him.

"By the way, General Bai." Wei Ling turned to smile, and said to Bai Lie, "Do you know what Yu Wanfeng's background is?"

"...?" Bai Lie couldn't stand this kind of seemingly simple but meaningful question, his eyebrows under the mask slightly frowned, he didn't answer, and waited for Wei Ling to continue.

As for the question just now, Wei Ling just wanted to know whether Shen Feihuan had told Bai Lie the truth that Yu Wanfeng was Taotie. In his opinion, the purpose of Shen Feihuan's involvement in the Demon Hunting Conference in Jinchuan was to expose Yu Wanfeng's real body.But judging from Bai Lie's reaction, Shen Feihuan probably hasn't told him about the Taotie yet.

"Shen Feihuan has some problems with him, maybe it has something to do with the demon pill in his body." Wei Ling said to Bai Lie in a soft voice.

Bai Lie was also present during the Jinchuan Rebellion, and it was no secret that Yu Wanfeng possessed gluttonous monster power. Although Bai Lie had a guilty conscience, he didn't pursue it too deeply.

"Back then, Taotie was slaughtered for me, and then it was kept by the Taili Academy. It is not uncommon for them to refine monsters into demon pills."

Bai Lie's answer was very simple, but it was such a simple answer that was enough to show that he had no suspicion and trust in the Taili Academy.

Maybe that's why Shen Feihuan hid the truth from him.

The wind passing through the alley was stronger than before, and the dust and sand were blowing, revealing an inexplicable fishy sweetness.

Wei Ling smiled wryly from the bottom of his heart, and stopped talking. He continued to walk forward and began to think about other things.

After walking for a while, the smell from the wind became more and more intense, and Bai Lie beside him seemed to have sensed something, when the two looked at each other, there was already a chill in Bai Lie's eyes.

The world is quiet.

The narrow alley in front of me seemed to spread without end.

Wei Ling called Bai Lie to stop, he slightly raised his fingertips, and tapped forward, there seemed to be a transparent film in the air, gently rippling with the touch of his fingertips.

"Is there a barrier?" Bai Lie asked him.

"Yeah." Wei Ling stopped, took two steps back, and looked up at the endless night: "I thought before that since I entered the abandoned city, the surrounding light is too dark."

Bai Lie didn't think there was anything wrong, he said, "It should be the night of the Demon Realm."

"No, General Bai, look." Wei Ling laughed suddenly: "The red moon is gone."

Bai Lie looked up to the sky, thinking that the clouds were thick at night, and it wasn't worth marveling when the moonlight was blocked, but when he looked, he realized that something was wrong. The sky above his head was very strange. On one side, clouds were piled up, oozing with thin red to outline, and The top is like a junction, and the other side is flawless and clean black, like ink staining the paper, like shadows flooding the light.

In front of them was an incomparably huge barrier, extending from the feet to the sky, cutting off the entire abandoned city.
