Han Shan's Sword Unsheathed

Meng Xueli covered the mirage beast's mouth, unable to understand what kind of stimulation the waste beast had received just now, and suddenly became more courageous: "If you get the advantage, run away, your small body is not enough for him to squeeze between his teeth!"

He and Ji Xiao flew towards the second floor. After leaving the fire pool, the temperature in the tower dropped rapidly, and the stone steps and walls exuded a gloomy and cold atmosphere, and they drilled straight into the bone crevices.

"Maybe it's the ice room."

Meng Xueli thought to himself, there are old mirages entrenched at the bottom of the tower, and a sea of ​​flames burning on the first floor. According to common sense, the second floor should be more dangerous, with stricter guards or institutions, so that King Baihe didn't get any information.

The stone steps became narrower and narrower until they were blocked by a heavy iron gate. Ji Xiao released his spiritual sense to investigate: "There is only one demon inside."

Meng Xueli was about to break down the door, when Ji Xiao took out the key of the hyena soldier, pushed the door open first and entered: "Stand behind me."

As the iron door opened, air-conditioning hit the face, mixed with a bloody smell, like rust.The mirage shivered, but the excitement subsided.

It was pitch black behind the door, and you couldn't see your fingers. Meng Xueli poured his true energy into "Time EMI", and with a "chuckle", the tip of the sword shimmered like a burning red candle.

He swung his sword out of thin air, and where the light illuminated, there was nothing.

Suddenly, a hoarse, piercing curse sounded in the darkness:

"Give your uncle a meal, Lingshan's dead lackey, call Lingshan to see his father die! Why doesn't Lingshan come, and eat his mother's snake slough at home? Is it delicious!"

Ji Xiao and Meng Xueli looked at each other.

The two-story tower was empty, and the cursing hit the hard stone wall, stirring back and forth, like the sound of magic filling the ears, and the rushing tide polluted the ears of the two from all directions.

The two looked for the sound and walked in, the chill and the smell of blood became heavier, and the curses were dirty and poisonous, with a variety of tricks.

Ji Xiao's face remained unchanged, and he turned a deaf ear.Meng Xueli was slightly embarrassed, where did this crane learn so many swear words?Those who don't know, think that our Yaozu's words are vulgar and our quality is worrying.

Until the light of "Time EMI" illuminated a section of the iron chain, Meng Xueli was startled.

The cursing stopped abruptly, and turned into a shout: "You are not demon soldiers, who are you?!"

But I saw a huge white crane crouching in the dried blood, its wings spread out three feet, occupying half of the stone room.

More than ten iron chains protrude from the four sides of the stone walls, the top of the floor, and the ground, passing through the crane's wings, feet, and neck to lock the giant crane firmly.Each iron lock is as thick as an arm and covered with a layer of hoarfrost.

Those extremely cold breaths were actually overflowing from these chains.

The head, neck and chest of the white crane are still intact, the wings and feathers are broken, and only the flesh and blood are left, frozen at low temperature, hanging on the white bones.

It was beyond Meng Xueli's expectation to be so miserable and still have the strength to shout and curse.

Ji Xiao frowned slightly, looking down at Iron Lock.Meng Xueli asked via voice transmission: "Is something wrong?"

Ji Xiao said: "The bone-piercing chain, a magic weapon in the world."

"Can you cut it off?"

Ji Xiao nodded.

Now that there is a way to crack it, Meng Xueli didn't take it to heart: "Maybe Lingshan has a commercial route leading to the world, just like 'Prosperity Juyuan'."

He cared more about the crane demon in front of him.

When the Crane Demon saw them approaching, his bloodshot eyes shot out suddenly, as if he wanted to see where they came from.

Meng Xueli asked lightly, "Do you want to live or die?"

Crane Demon sneered hoarsely: "So what if you want to live, so what if you want to die?"

"If you want to die, I'll give you a happy ending so that you won't be tortured again. If you want to live, we'll cut off the bone-piercing chain and set you free."

The crane demon didn't believe it, and taunted: "Ha, it's easy to say! This lock is a powerful magic weapon of the human race, blessed with the demon-suppressing rune, as long as you use the demon power, you will be backlashed by the locked rune..."

There was a crisp sound of "Zheng", Bai He suddenly felt a chill on the back of his neck, the wind of the sword brushed his cheek, and the iron chain around his neck snapped in response.

Bai He's expression froze instantly.

Ji Xiao calmly retracted the sword, and Meng Xueli took out a piece of thin paper from her bosom, letting the other party see clearly with the dim light.

"Snow Mountain Seal!" The Crane Demon was startled, his expression became complicated, "Are you the subordinates of the Snow Mountain King?"

Meng Xueli: "I have a question to ask you."

He took the initiative to help King Baihe save the demon, and the ostensible condition was a shop in Baihe City.In fact, there are some questions that he can't figure out, so he can only visit the Town Demon Tower at night, and find the two old generals of Lingshan to find the answer.

He didn't know what kind of answer he wanted to hear.

Maybe the answer is unimportant, the truth is unimportant, because he has been reincarnated as a human being, and by a blessing in disguise, he has become attached to Ji Xiao.But it’s important to ask those questions, and it’s important to confront past failures.

This is the courage that the Taoist companion gave him.

Bai He misunderstood, "It's too late."

Any big demon who sees the "Old Department of Snow Mountain" will think that they want to recruit troops to overthrow the new king and avenge the old king.But the old king is dead, and the new king is in full swing, so this matter is doomed to fail.

Bai He said: "I will not fight for any demon king again. You guys go."

"You don't need to fight." Meng Xueli asked, "Three years ago, what happened to King Lingshan's rebellion, and when did he start planning to rebel, do you know?"

Bai He said in a deep voice: "The overall situation has been decided. Is there any point in saying this now? The King of Snow Mountain is doomed to fail. If there is no giant python rioting, there will be other monsters!"

Although the chance of escape was right in front of him, Bai He still did not pretend to speak, and was not afraid of angering the "Xueshan old department" and was killed by a sword.

Meng Xueli was startled, and Ji Xiao asked for Taoist couple: "Why?"

"Snow Mountain's ideal of 'all demons are equal, and demons do not eat demons' is simply not feasible in the demon world. The big demon punishes the little demon, and the little demon serves the big monster. This is the eternal law of the demon world. I oppose Lingshan because he It's too cruel, but I don't support Xueshan either."

Seeing that the other party was not angry, Bai He's tone softened a bit: "At first, it was very simple. Because of the distant and beautiful idea of ​​'making the monster race stronger', everyone gathered together, full of enthusiasm, looking forward to the future, and started to fight in the north and south. It's a long struggle. But in the end, the one who can secure the throne of the demon king must be the most ruthless demon.

"Lingshan is called the queen, and two major fortifications have been built. On one side is the demon town tower, which is terrifying and cold, so that every monster can see what will happen if they dare to resist the king of Lingshan. , even the little demon who has just opened up his spiritual wisdom knows what he can enjoy by serving the King of Lingshan and being loyal... Those who follow me will prosper, and those who oppose me will perish. , Consolidate power, he is not as good as the python. So he lost. His death is the ironclad proof."

Meng Xueli shook her head: "You're not right. If you judge a hero by success or failure in life and death, all this is not over yet."

Bai He's complexion changed suddenly, and an extremely absurd idea vaguely appeared in his heart: "Could it be that the Snow Mountain King is not dead?"

But I heard chaotic demon sounds and footsteps coming from the first floor.Ji Xiao shot out a sword qi, and the iron door was locked, blocking the sound and light outside the door.

Bai He: "The demon soldiers are here!"

Meng Xueli: "How to get to the third floor?"

Bai He: "There is a flap mechanism on the top of the floor."

The two of them jumped up, sword energy soared into the sky, more than a dozen icy iron chains collapsed together, and the broken chains slapped the walls like torrential rain.

Bai He stared blankly at Broken Lock, dumbfounded.

Meng Xueli picked up the white crane by the neck like a chicken cub: "Let's go together!"
