Damn it, I couldn't stand this little kitten anymore. He was so crazy. I leaned against a rock and didn't bother to continue talking to Ah Yue. Anyway, if I continued talking, I would get beaten by her.
I leaned against the stone, took out a pack of cigarettes from my bag, walked to the fire, lit it, and took a puff. My whole body was still feeling terribly uncomfortable.
Those wounds now feel like needles are pricking them.
"Hey, why do you want to go to the Demon Palace?" Ah Yue asked me, sitting by the fire with her eyes wide open.
"Find someone." I said casually, "The one who sent me to this cave. She is my wife."
"Anyway, this matter is very complicated, and I won't be able to explain it clearly in just a moment and a half." After I finished speaking, I felt sleepy again, so I told Ah Yue, then lay down and continued to sleep.
I spent the next two days recovering from my injuries in this cave, and I didn't take a single bite of those potato chips and snacks. But at least Ah Yue was kind of conscientious and would make me some things that looked and tasted awful.
.
It was something like steamed buns that she kept at home before.
When she first gave it to me, I put it to my mouth for a long time and couldn't eat it. Later, I was so hungry that I couldn't stand it and only took a few bites.
After eating, I asked her what it was, and she said that it was a specialty of the Demon Realm, a type of soil that was barely edible.
After listening to this, I sighed endlessly. I never thought that I would be able to eat dirt to satisfy my hunger one day.
Ah Yue and I ate the same thing. She put all the snacks away. According to her, she would eat them later when she couldn't find this kind of soil.
In this life, I now regret that when I bought the belt, why did I buy it from a street stall? It was not genuine leather, otherwise it could be cooked and eaten.
It's dark inside this cave, so I can only know an approximate time.
"You have one more day to rest, and then we can leave. Then don't follow me." Ah Yue walked to me and sat down next to me. "You can go straight north from here to the Demon Palace. You can reach it after passing two cities."
Demon Palace."
"That's right, it's not convenient to follow you." I nodded.
"No, it's not inconvenient. It's just that you waste food too much." Ah Yue said honestly: "Besides, if you go to the Demon Palace, you will definitely die. Why should I follow you to die?"
"Are you going to die?" I sighed. Now I am increasingly confused about what Zhao Shanyu is thinking and doing.
Why did he send me to the cave and leave without even saying hello after seeing me? What was the purpose?
I kept thinking about it.
"Roar"
Suddenly, a wild beast roared from inside the cave.
"Oops, the big bug is back." Ah Yue's face changed when she heard the roar, and she said, "Hurry up and hide with me."
"What's wrong?" I pulled my thoughts away from Zhao Shanyu. When I saw Ah Yue who looked panicked, I quickly stood up and asked.
"This is the cave of a centipede monster, but it is outside on weekdays and rarely comes back. It's over. It doesn't like others to enter its cave." Ah Yue said with a frown.
When I heard Ah Yue say this, I quickly squatted down next to my bag, flipped through it, and found the charm.
Ah Yue saw me holding the talisman and said quickly: "No, you can't fight it. It is a friend of the great demon Baishi. If you offend it, you will be doomed."
"Then you still dare to enter its cave?" I glared at Ah Yue.
"No monsters dare to come in here on weekdays. It's very safe." Before Ah Yue could finish speaking, two fist-sized red lights appeared in the direction where the roar had just come from.
Only after the bright light slowly came closer did I see clearly, it turned out to be a pair of eyes.
This centipede is so big
It is two meters high and four meters wide, with densely packed tentacles on both sides, and the whole body is pitch black.
"who are you."
Centipede spoke.
The injuries on my body are now mostly healed, but even if I wasn't injured, I probably wouldn't be able to defeat it.
"Hello, I, we admire you. We have heard of your name a long time ago. This is the first time we met and we didn't bring any gifts." Before I could finish speaking, the centipede was already glowing with a black evil aura.
The demonic aura on it is so strong that it feels like water dripping from it.
My heart skipped a beat. If this monster wanted to kill me, it shouldn't be too difficult.
"Your name is Zhang Lingfeng, right?" As soon as the centipede spoke, I was surprised, how could it know my name?
"You know me? We have a good relationship and we are acquaintances." I laughed.
I didn't dare to be careless at all. I held the Sky Sword tightly with my right hand and turned around and ran away as soon as the situation was even slightly wrong.
"I'm not familiar with you, but a white cat I used to know knows you. By the way, can you do me a favor?" The centipede didn't wait for my answer and said, "Help me get rid of the demon."
Kill a monster in the palace."
"Okay." I agreed without hesitation. If I didn't agree, this centipede would kill me directly.
"Hehe, okay then, you can make an oath." A strange smile came from Centipede's voice.
When I heard this, my face turned dark. It asked me to help. The reason why I agreed without hesitation was because I would not lose a piece of meat by agreeing to it. If I agree now, whether I will help it later is another matter.
Well.
But I swear, it's different.
Ordinary people may be able to swear randomly, but we as cultivators can never catch ghosts. If we fail to do so after swearing, we will be punished by God.
"This." I hesitated: "Brother, you have to tell me what you want me to do. You just let me kill people. I don't know who to kill. If I swear to help you later, you let me
I’m going to kill the Demon King, isn’t that nonsense?”
"You're not too stupid. The monster I asked you to kill is called Mengzhi. It's a tree monster. It's in the blood-red forest to the north of the Demon Palace." Centipede said slowly.
"Well, Brother Centipede, look, if you ask me to help, what good will it do to me?" I rubbed my hands and said with a smile.
"You have no choice. If you don't help me, I will kill you now." Centipede said: "But if you help me, I can also tell you some secrets. Although I am not strong in magic, I have learned from the immortals of Shifang.
There are not many people who survived that era and have lived longer than me in the Demon Realm. I can tell you whatever you want to know."
"Really?" I looked at this centipede in surprise. If it was a monster from Shifang Xianren's era, it would have lived for at least more than a thousand years.
"If someone uses the Yang-Returning Forbidden Curse and resurrects a person, can you tell me what retribution will happen?" I asked quickly.
Centipede was silent for a while and said: "You can't say this, but everything else is fine. This matter involves fate. If I say it, I will be implicated and suffer disaster."
