Stopping at the exit of the snake demon's lair, Xing Nan's consciousness moved and he put away the stored magic weapon of the third senior fellow demon cultivator.
The third brother's magic weapon for storage is a storage belt. The storage space inside is much larger than that in an ordinary storage bag, and is more than ten times larger.
The Third Brother Moxiu is dead, and his storage belt has naturally become ownerless. Xing Nan only needs to make it recognize its owner again, and then he can use it with his spiritual consciousness.
"Don't yell so loudly. I have no intention of killing your child, but don't force me."
Xing Nan waved to the double-headed golden-threaded snake again, and then flew out of the snake's cave.
After leaving the Snake Cave and exiting the underground river, there were many low-level snake demons blocking them along the way, but they were all easily strangled by Xing Nan.
The two-headed spotted golden snake has been following behind, and it seems that it will not let Xing Nan go easily.
After leaving the underground river, Xing Nan also bypassed the mountains and ran all the way to the east.
While running, his consciousness glanced at the storage belt, and then took out a small jade bottle.
There are many jade bottles in the storage belt. Maybe the three senior brothers were worried about picking up the wrong ones, so each jade bottle was marked with words. The jade bottle Xing Nan took out at this moment had the words "Demon Body Essence Pill" written on it.
.
"This must be the elixir used by demonic monks to heal physical wounds. I have an innate demonic body, and this demonic body essence elixir can definitely be used by me."
There was a fourth-level monster following behind him, and Xing Nan was not completely out of danger yet, so he took a demon body essence pill without hesitation.
Just as Xing Nan expected, the Demonic Body Essence Pill was a good elixir for healing the demonic body. The power of the medicine slowly spread into his body, and the previous wounds were gradually healed.
Just after walking around the mountain, Xing Nan suddenly saw a dark set of wings spread out in a dense forest. Out of curiosity, he shrouded it with his spiritual consciousness.
"It's that black flying monster... Its owner is the third demon cultivator. When the owner died, it also disappeared with his soul."
Xing Nan thought about it as he approached.
"Jiji!"
Xiaomeng shouted excitedly on Xing Nan's shoulder.
The two-headed golden-threaded snake also moved over quickly, but did not move rashly.
Xing Nan pondered for a moment, then ducked in front of the flying monster's head and slashed it straight down with a long sword.
After digging out the inner elixir of the flying monster and storing it in a jade box, Xing Nan thought to himself: "That junior fellow demon cultivator was probably so frightened that he not only abandoned his third senior brother, but even
I was given an advantage by not collecting the body of this flying monster."
He removed several more large pieces of flesh and bones from the flying monster, and then left with satisfaction.
…
In the great rift valley that connects the east and west areas of Piaoyun Kingdom, there are countless demonic monks running around at the moment.
After the Demonic Army captured the Demonic City, they did not take a moment to adjust or recuperate. After sweeping the Demonic City, the army poured into the Great Rift Valley and headed towards the eastern region of Piaoyun Kingdom.
In the battle at Yumo City, the demonic army killed 60% of the Piaoyun Kingdom's troops. Although most of the Piaoyun masters who participated in resisting the demonic army in Yumo City retreated, the Piaoyun Kingdom still did not have the strength to fight against this demonic army.
strength.
There was tension in the Kingdom of Piaoyun. The people of Piaoyun no longer trusted the kingdom, and they flocked to the Holy Dragon Empire via the border.
While the old king was worried about the safety of his daughter Princess Yunshang, he actively mobilized various legions in the kingdom to rush to the royal city. Anyone could escape, but he, the king, could never escape.
"Report! The Demon Control City has fallen!"
"Report! There was a fierce battle between the Lingu City garrison and the demonic vanguard army, and the entire army was destroyed!"
"Report! A large number of demonic troops have crossed the Wanling Mountains, entered the eastern part of the kingdom, and are rushing towards the royal city!"
Battle reports came in frequently, but none of them were good news. The demonic army was invincible, and the defenses of the cities in the eastern part of Piaoyun Kingdom were like tissue paper, which could be broken with a single poke.
The demonic army was as powerful as a rainbow, piercing deeply into the heart of Piaoyun Kingdom like a sharp sword.
Piaoyun Kingdom is in danger!
Although the old king's body is still strong and strong, his face looks older.
"Report!"
"The demonic army of Shenglong Town has already set off and will be able to reach the royal city within ten days!"
Finally, the good news came, but the old king's expression still showed no joy. He smiled bitterly and said: "Within ten days... I am afraid that the demonic army will not give us ten days."
"With the current marching speed of the demonic army, it will take at most eight days to reach the royal city, and it is difficult for our royal city to survive for two or three days without being breached." A close attendant said, "Your Majesty, you'd better do it early.
I plan to leave the royal city first and join the Holy Dragon Demon-Suppressing Army."
"Absurd!" the old king scolded lightly, and then said, "At this time when the kingdom is in danger, as the leader of a country, how can I retreat without fighting? Even if the kingdom is to be destroyed by the devil, I should die with the kingdom!
"
"Your Majesty, the Holy Dragon Suppressing Demon Army will definitely be able to defeat the demonic army and help us regain our lost territory and reorganize our country. However, if your Majesty encounters an accident in the royal city, then our kingdom will really be destroyed. Please consider the great cause of the kingdom for its future.
Heavy!" said the minister loyally.
"If something unexpected happens to me, I still have Yun Shang. She can still shoulder the great responsibility!" the old king insisted.
"But Her Royal Highness, she is now..."
"She will be fine!" Before the minister could finish speaking, the old king answered confidently.
…
Xing Nan went all the way east, walking through the mountains and forests, and occasionally encountered low-level demon cultivators who broke away from the group.
It is not difficult to kill low-level demon cultivators, not to mention that the two-headed golden thread snake is afraid that those demon cultivators will hurt its children, so it will help. This makes Xing Nan get more and more benefits from those low-level demon cultivators.
Many benefits.
With the help of the Demon Body Essence Pill, Xing Nan's physical injuries gradually recovered and his condition continued to improve.
However, even at its peak, it is not easy for him to destroy the two-headed golden-threaded snake behind him. After all, this is not a small place enclosed on all sides, and the opponent is still a mid-level fourth-order monster with two inner elixirs.
.
In addition to occasionally encountering low-level demon cultivators along the way, he would also encounter some monsters. Xing Nan basically did not need to take action, as this two-headed spotted golden snake could solve all dangers.
Xing Nan had pills to help him recover. The two-headed golden-threaded snake could only rely on its powerful monster body to recover slowly, but as time passed, as it devoured more and more other monsters
The condition of the body and inner alchemy is also gradually improving.
"This snake demon doesn't dare to touch me. Although it's troublesome to follow him, he has become my bodyguard. Not bad." Xing Nan felt very proud.
After marching in the mountains and forests for a whole day, Xing Nan still could not get out of the Wanling Mountains. He was not in a hurry. When the sky became dark again, he found a small cave and got into it.
The two-headed golden-threaded snake did not follow him into the cave. It was worried that Xing Nan would use the environment of the cave to kill it, so it just stayed outside the cave.
At midnight, Xing Nan, who was meditating cross-legged, suddenly opened his eyes.
What surprised him was that the scar-faced proprietress of Kirigakure Inn was standing in front of him at some point.
The little ferret, as usual, was curled up in the boss's arms.
"Madam boss, why are you here?"
Xing Nan quickly stood up and looked outside the cave.
"Don't look anymore, I have already killed that two-headed snake." The landlady said calmly, "Where are the shopkeeper and Lehua? Why aren't they with you?"
Xing Nan gave a wry smile and explained: "Not long after you left the Demon Control City, the shopkeeper left without saying hello to us. Then the Demon Control City was attacked by the demonic army. I asked Brother Le to take refuge out of the city first."
"The master shopkeeper shouldn't leave easily." The landlady said with a frown.
"It is said that he followed a monk with thick hair on his face." Xing Nan added.
"It turns out it's him, no wonder." The proprietress gently stroked the little ferret and said angrily, "Shisan is such an idiot. That guy clearly wanted to lure him away, but he just left with him so stupidly!"
"That guy is very strong?" Xing Nan was also a little nervous, "Will the master master be okay?"
"That guy should be a strong demon from the Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts, and his strength is not inferior to the master's master. If he just lures the master's master away for a fight, the master's master should be fine. But if that guy colludes with the master of magic,
Shisan is afraid that he will suffer a big loss."
A look of worry finally appeared on the landlady's face, and she added: "I'm afraid the Piaoyun Kingdom can't be saved. After you leave the Wanling Mountains, you'd better go straight to the Holy Dragon Empire. If you have a chance, go
Go to Holy Dragon Academy, you will progress faster there."
After finishing the explanation, the landlady turned to leave.
"But, I owe you the spiritual stone..." Xing Nan said hurriedly.
"It's not urgent. You won't be able to pay it back for a while. I will come find you when you can pay it back."
The landlady didn't stop. When the voice completely fell, her figure had disappeared.
Xing Nan chased him out of the cave, but the proprietress had disappeared. He only saw the two-headed spotted golden snake lying at the door of the cave.
The two-headed golden-threaded snake had no extra scars on its body, as if it had not suffered any attack, but it had completely lost its vitality at this moment. I don’t know how the boss lady killed it.
Xing Nan didn't think too much. He skillfully dug out the two inner elixirs of the double-headed golden-threaded snake, and cut off some flesh and bones from its body before getting back on the road.
…
Also on this night, the young demon cultivator once again came to the lair of the two-headed spotted golden thread snake, but this time he was also accompanied by a demon master.
"Ji Yang, you said that the monk who killed your third senior brother was not only proficient in martial arts, but also mastered an extremely advanced sword formation?" The monk who came with him looked at the old man who was over fifty years old, but he had a sinister look on his face.
, he was squinting his eyes at the blur of flesh and blood under the stone wall, and asked calmly.
"Master, it's true." The junior brother named Ji Yang said with an uneasy look on his face.
"Your third senior brother died tragically here, but you escaped unscathed. Is there any other story in this?" Master asked.
