One hundred and sixteenth chapter: Moben mulberry leaves
Tonight is destined to be no ordinary night.
Long Miao galloped on the narrow mountain road. The person who always kept a distance in front of him was the important target of this operation. And the target ran very fast. Even though she was small, she jumped up and down like a little mouse.
It disappears in the blink of an eye.
This chase started when it was still daylight and continues until now. Long Miao did not consume much physical energy before, because he could use his wings to fly in the air. But although this mountain is not high, it has many densely grown trees.
The trees are mainly pine trees. Even after a cold winter,
Their greenness was still undiminished. Here, he had to drop to the ground and use his two legs to chase the guy. Utsuki-kun was not suitable for a direct pursuit, especially because the terrain he passed this time was complex and changeable.
Even if it is intercepted through spiritual veins, there is no certainty, and she is still far away from Longmiao.
This hill is inaccessible and there is no well-established road. Long Miao finally managed to catch up to a wide area, but the target was nowhere to be seen. He looked around and sniffed the air, trying to find some clues. The enemy's breath had not dissipated, so he must have
It's nearby, just listen carefully to the sounds around you...
"You are really persistent."
He never thought that the target would be exposed in front of him without any defense. He also never thought that the guy who ran so hard before would show up now? Her breathing didn't look like she was tired, but Taki
Miao would never give up so easily. The girl walked towards him, calm and composed, as if she had rested for a while while waiting for Long Miao to catch up.
"We can't let you escape easily."
"Really? But there is one with two legs and a pair of wings, and I don't see one that doesn't even have legs."
The girl chuckled. Her words were indeed true. Long Miao looked at her through the moonlight, and finally looked at her more carefully than ever before today. Is this girl... an adult? She must be fourteen or fifteen years old.
Her long hair was originally black, but under the moonlight it exuded an almost blue-green coldness.
The color is polarized. Although the bangs are neat, they are cut diagonally. They are obviously quite high from the left eye, but they touch the eyelashes when they reach the right eye. The girl's clothes are ordinary, but her skin is a little special. It's hazy.
In the dim light, Long Miao could see some fine lines on her face, outlining
The shape of scales appeared. However, they were not fish scales, but smaller and harder reptile scales, which perfectly blended with human skin. Long Miao also saw that the girl's arm was inserted into her waist, which welcomed
The skin of the exposed arm is also covered with such
The scales are more obvious. When there is no light, they are ordinary light brown, as if the human body is covered with a thin layer of dry soil crust. When standing under the light at a certain angle, each scale has
They all glow with green or blue light spots. They look beautiful, but they are extremely weird on people.
Uoyuki-kun was indeed right. This was a monster related to pythons...but was it really a monster? Takimiao felt it was strange, because he vaguely felt that this girl was clearly closer to a human being - this was not because of her appearance.
What makes judgments is the unique senses only monsters have. Even the half-demon Takimiao can detect it.
At this point, is it because he is a half-demon that he cannot completely determine her identity? It can be said that the previous judgment has never been wrong, and according to the news, this guy is definitely a monster. But Takimiao feels strange
Partly, it was because he clearly felt that the other person still had human qualities, but was also very different from a half-demon.
What is she? She is a monster... This should be an indisputable fact. But——
"Let's talk?" the girl said again.
"I have nothing to talk about with you. I should catch you now and deal with you, that's it."
After that, Long Miao walked forward without hesitation. The girl took a few steps back, spread her hands, and asked him with a smile:
"You are so honest. Don't you think it's strange why I stopped to wait for you? Is it because I think I have a long life that I gave you a chance to catch me?"
"I don't care, you're probably tired."
"It's easy to get rid of you, but I didn't do it. Do you know why? Because I wanted to tell you something. You are not impermanent. I can feel it. You are a half-demon, right?"
Although Long Miao didn't want to give her too many opportunities to speak, he still stopped. After hundreds of years of experience, he had almost completely mastered the method of pretending to be real. In front of people, he could only emit human breath;
In front of the demon, he can also make the other party completely believe that he is the same kind. Of course, in such a long time, there are also some top
An Onmyoji or a powerful demon can determine his true identity without knowing it. But in the final analysis, this is only a minority. It is difficult for Takimiao to be sure now. How does this girl make a judgment?
Does she really have such a strong sense of perception, or did she learn her information through some means? But this is not a dirty secret.
"so?"
"It's okay, it's not important." She shrugged, "What's your name?"
"I thought you knew me well."
"Okay? Let me introduce myself first. It doesn't make sense to arrest someone whose name you don't even know, doesn't it?" The girl put a hand on her chest and said, "I have a human
name, but now people call me Snake."
The so-called demons and monsters are just a collective term for some monsters and monsters. However, in many places, this also refers to four independent monsters. The so-called monsters are spirits transformed from mountains and rivers, wood and stone. There is also a snake character in the name. Could it be that they absorb mountains and rivers?
Are snake monsters with the power of wood and stone, or are snakes absorbing their essence and becoming monsters? No, this is not the time to think about it now.
"You are a monster, that's enough for me."
"Aren't you? Well, you count as half. Hahaha..."
The snake laughed again. When she opened her mouth, Long Miao caught a glimpse of the tongue in her mouth, which looked like a tongue sticking out of a tube. I'm afraid it was also branched. After finally finishing her laugh, she continued:
"Then you work for the vagaries of human beings? You are really willing."
Long Miao didn't answer. He knew that the other party was just laughing at him. But there was one thing that he couldn't figure out yet. All the tasks assigned by Yama Demon to the Impermanent Ghost basically considered every Impermanence.
Suitable characteristics, or deliberately cultivate certain abilities necessary for them. But over the years, Utsuki-kun has rarely participated in pursuit missions
It's not about searching or tracing, but a simple, exhausting search. But this time, Lord Maoyue was temporarily changed the task, and Lord Maoyue said it himself: Demon General Yama also counts himself as one that can be used.
The power. What Takimiao is curious about is why Yama Demon can so easily classify himself as Utsuki-kun's companion, subordinate, or shikigami.
Well, in short, they were tied up and they were not two independent individuals. Did Lord Maoyue say something to Yama Demon? He didn't know, but he just felt that although he and the other party were closely connected, they were not always connected.
can cooperate perfectly at all times. What's more, if something goes wrong, I get injured, give up, refuse from the beginning, these infinite
The possibility of disrupting Yama's original arrangements. Based on this calculation method, can Uoyuejun really be able to handle the tasks assigned to her by herself? She is not a subordinate of Yama, and has never been directly assigned any tasks.
He can ignore or defy his mission, emotions and reasons. But is it really a good thing to be taken seriously by Yama Demon from this perspective?
Long Miao didn't think any more. He shook his head, cleared his mind, and looked at the person in front of him silently. The hostility in his eyes did not diminish. After all, the opponent was the opponent and should not be taken lightly.
"Let me tell you, don't you feel it's a shame that you worked so hard for that woman? Even if you are acting impermanently, how can humans really treat you as the same kind of person? In the final analysis, you are easier to use and you have been domesticated."
"If that's all you have to say, I'm going to take action."
"Why are you always so impatient? Delaying time is good for you. The impermanence will catch up with you slowly."
"I won't listen to you if you try to sow discord. You can shut up."
Phantom Snake raised his hand: "Wait a minute, wait a minute - I'll make a long story short. I'm not here to analyze the stakes with you. I want to talk to you alone to tell you a secret, an absolutely true secret."
"My patience is very limited."
"I'm asking you, please listen," the snake bent down, stretched out a finger, and said slowly, "What would you do if there was someone who could know everything that is going on in your heart?
"
Long Miao didn't know why she suddenly said such words, let alone which topic it was related to. He felt that the monster was just delaying time, but why? She didn't have any reinforcements, so what did she want to do by saying this?
But if Utsuki-kun asks this question seriously, he will probably answer seriously: It depends on the situation. If it is an enemy to be dealt with, it will be a big trouble. But if it is one of your own, it will feel awkward after all. After all, no one wants to
Or something that is inconvenient for others to know. Even if you are innocent and there is nothing suspicious about it, you have been invaded into a hidden personal space like your mind.
, it’s all unpleasant. However, Long Miao would not answer the monster so seriously. He just stared at her eyes, guessing what the other person was thinking. I don’t know when the eyes of the monster snake changed from human to
It has the appearance of a snake, with a slender and irregular black pupil in the center, and the background color has become a withered yellow. The pupils look as strange as two keyholes.
"Are you unhappy?" She said, "What I want to say is the secret about Uoyuki-kun - she is such a person. There is no person in the world that she cannot see through, and there is no thought that she cannot see clearly.
There is no secret that she cannot see. No matter how complicated a person is, they are like a blank sheet of paper in front of her, and everything they think in their mind is clear. You are no exception."
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
Long Miao suddenly became a little angry, and he couldn't explain why. Maybe she was slandering Lord Maoyue.
"I won't lie to you." Demon Snake nodded slightly and stared at him from bottom to top. "She has such ability because she got a treasure and kept it for many years. Yama felt that,
She is the most suitable to keep among all the six impermanences
Who is that treasure? Do you know the seven magic weapons from the Biluo Islands? The red pearl of Mahuluojia has the power to see through people's hearts. Although it has many functions, it can be simply summarized as mind reading.
It’s the best to understand.”
Long Miao took two steps forward and was about to catch her. She stepped back and said with a smile:
"You can ask her, I won't lie to you - the blood of the python god's family members flows in my body."
