Everyone entered the passage on the far left, but Haoren stayed behind.
"Is everyone leaving? Just leave!"
Glancing at the people who had completely entered the passage, Haoren nodded slightly.
In fact, the reason why he rejected Nakagawa Yu and Nitta's proposal and took the initiative to stay behind was not because he was worried about his teammates, nor because he had a certain spirit of self-sacrifice.
In the final analysis, those group of ex-spiritual officers are not his teammates, at most they can be regarded as his prisoners.
If Bu Fu had promised Zhongchuan Yong that he would not hurt them, Haoren would have been too lazy to care about their lives because of his own fault.
As for sacrificing himself for others, Haoren believes that if he does not possess that kind of spirit, he is just a common man.
Since we are not ordinary people, how can we have so many great spirits?
Taking the initiative to take the rear was not at all because he discovered that since the appearance of the Snow Monkey, the power of the giant star outside his body suddenly became active.
It's good to say that the active cocoa is a little bit good, but it should give off a feeling of extreme excitement and eagerness, as if I have encountered some unparalleled delicacy, and I want to have the strange feeling of swallowing it in one bite.
That feeling was not unfamiliar to Haoren, nor was it his first experience.
When he absorbed the power of the snow demon obtained by the sacrifice of the Taishi Bureau traitor named Kondo, the power of the giant star also gave him that feeling.
Moreover, he noticed a strange thing that no one else noticed.
The demonic power outside the Snow Monkey's body is very chaotic. The demonic power appears to be very powerful, but it is not overpowering.
Generally speaking, a normal snow ape should be an A-level monster, but that snow ape is a monster king.
Combined with the fact that it did not have the wisdom that a normal demon king should have, Haoren quickly made a guess in his mind - maybe the snow ape's power could be enhanced to become a demon king.
And isn't that ability to increase one's strength similar to that of Kondo's previous sacrifice to gain strength?
Therefore, the power of the giant gate star shows its desire to devour.
Is it because of that kind of speculation that Haoren decided to stay in the east and come to the rear.
Forget about Nakagawa Yung and Xue Ji, Haoren didn't want those group of exorcists or Zhu Nai to see too many of his trump cards.
"Okay, let's see if we can swallow the power of the snow monkey..."
So saying that, Haoren moved excitedly and landed lightly next to Snow Monkey. Facing the huge and thick fist raised by the other party, he stretched out a seemingly weak leg.
immediately……
"Ouch, ouch, ouch..."
The pitiful wail of the demon king-level snow ape was instantly heard in the passage, and Ye Chang's familiar cold demonic power quickly poured into Haoren's body...
"Tsk, it's so noisy. That big guy's scream is really loud. Fortunately, a soundproof barrier was installed in advance..."
Slapping his mouth lightly, Haoren instantly doubled his devouring speed.
The snow monkey quickly stopped wailing, and its huge and strong body shriveled up quickly visible to the naked eye...
…
"Xu Sang, he heard that fox demons are not good at close combat. Is there a place outside the cave? There is not much space. Will he be in danger if he spreads his strength to others?"
Akeno, who entered the passage first, looked back from time to time while walking. Finally, she couldn't help it anymore, so she asked Nakagawa Yu.
"..."
Zhongchuan Yong didn't have time to answer, but the sighs of the spirit-killing officials could be heard from the side.
"Oh, I didn't expect Lord Fox Demon to be so considerate of Dong, and when faced with danger, he would take the initiative to keep Dong as his rear guard!"
"No, it seems that Miko Schnee is right. The fox demon is indeed a different kind of monster. They surrender to him and it seems that he is not as bad as they thought!"
"That's right, there are good monsters among monsters. I didn't expect the fox demon to be such a kind-hearted monster!"
What Haoren didn't know was that his actions to hide his trump card out of habitual thinking had won the full favor of Akeno and even all the spiritual masters.
"He thinks what Akeno said makes sense. Fox demons are not good at close combat, and the space there is so small.
Although Lord Fox Demon is very powerful, what if something unexpected happens and you accidentally end up with the wrong party?"
"Just tell me, please, please go back and see if they can help? Head of Nitta Branch, what do you think?"
"Hey, where is the head of the Nitta branch?"
"There's no need to go back, let's just go further!"
Seeing that the exorcist was discussing how to go back and help, Zhongchuan Yulian went to stop Donglai.
In this way, the team continued to move forward.
Is the strength of Nakagawa Yucuo Haoren very clear? He is good at swordsmanship, but how can he be so bad at close combat?
If those spiritual officials go back, they will become a burden.
Speaking of which, Haoren's actions were somewhat beyond her expectations.
Based on what he saw along the way, Haoren not only did not torture the group of spirit removers, but also protected them from Akeno's legs, and even helped one of the seriously injured people to treat his injuries.
Although he had begged Haoren to let the group of spirit-killing officers go, he did not ask Haoren to protect them or even treat their injuries!
Much earlier, he took the initiative to rescue Mako and other mikos who were surrounded by snow monkeys.
And now the queen's behavior...
One by one, Zhongchuan Yong came to his senses and realized that since he surrendered to Haoren, how could he do anything good?
That doesn’t fit with the character of the fox demon!
The only bad thing was that he allowed himself to deceive the master.
But when Nakagawa Yu thought about it carefully, if Ming Haoren was in the rift, how could she have the chance to capture her master.
Haoren's real goal may not be her master, but to want her to commit that kind of betrayal, to degenerate more completely, and to completely cut off the past.
After all, he has a bad habit of teasing people!
Other than that, there doesn't seem to be anything else heinous about it.
Thinking of this, a ridiculous thought suddenly appeared in Zhongchuan's mind - could Haoren really be a kind monster?
Although he likes training, strictly speaking, it can be attributed to his personal interest. Compared with other vicious monsters, he is already very kind.
Please don’t ask Haoren?
That idea popped up for a moment, due to the influence of inherent thinking, and the fact that both she and Rumi Hoshino were "trained" step by step into Rumei's obedient appearance.
This made her quickly reject the idea.
At that moment, Nakagawa seemed to be very close to clearing up the misunderstanding and knowing the truth, but he had never taken that step before.
That thought planted a seed deep in her heart.
Or maybe that seed needs some stimulation if it wants to germinate...
"Be careful, there is a trap!"
"The ground, the ground collapsed!"
"Oops, he's begging for help. Someone give him a hand!"
"Save him quickly, ah——!"
But while Zhongchuan was deep in thought, Xue Ji's voice suddenly came from the front.
Immediately, there was a series of calls for help from the exorcist.
Before Zhongchuan Yong could see clearly what was happening, he felt that the ground to his east suddenly collapsed, revealing a dark space inside.
She reacted quickly and jumped forward quickly, trying to grab a raised stone at the cave passage.
but……
"It's so slippery, what the hell...um..."
When her legs grabbed the stone, she felt that it was like some kind of mucus was secreted on the surface, which was unusually smooth, so she instantly grasped the stone.
Did the several spirit-killing officers who had the same reaction as her also do the same? Did they just fall away after catching the opportunity?
Nakagawa turned around and drew out the Xueyue sword, preparing to thrust it into the stone wall to stabilize his body.
But at this moment, the wall of the passage suddenly broke open, and several thick tentacle legs stretched out from it, directly wrapping around her body, as well as Yukihime and Akeno, who had not yet fallen east, and dragged them in together.
Collapsed ground cavity.
A few minutes later, silence returned outside the passage, and the ground returned to its original state. However, all the twenty or thirty people outside, including Zhongchuan Yu, disappeared.
…
At the same time, at the entrance of the branch road.
After easily absorbing all the demon power from Snow Monkey's body, Haoren quickly entered the leftmost fork.
After walking in for a few steps, he saw a figure running towards that direction.
"Master Fox Demon, are you okay?"
When Haoren got closer, he realized that the person coming was Xintian.
"..."
Didn't you ask me to leave? Why did I come here?
Haoren was obviously speechless.
It turns out that Xintian's subordinate didn't find anyone else, so he ran back.
In fact, Nitta felt a little sorry, and felt that as a national second-level spiritual exterminator, his strength was not weak, so he could help some, so he ran back.
"Master Fox Demon, he is here to help you. Where is the Snow Monkey?"
Help me!
Haoren complained in his mind and quickly reacted.
"He's fine. Snow Monkey is temporarily trapped by him now. They should leave quickly!"
Haoren can take him and leave this place quickly if he can avoid being discovered by Nitta and being sucked into a snow ape by him.
"Ah, please get out of there quickly!"
Hearing what Haoren said, Xue Yuan was right behind him, and Nitta's reaction was even more excited than before.
Nitta grabbed Haoren behind his back, took his arm and started running quickly.
"Master Fox Demon, they should have walked a long way. With their speed, they will catch up to them soon!"
"etc……"
Because the guy was really too excited, he grabbed Haoren's leg tightly, and it was difficult to get it open for a while, which made Haoren suddenly regret it.
I regretted not telling that guy that Snow Monkey was dead, or making up an excuse that Snow Monkey had left.
However, what made him regret even more was what happened later...
"Lord Fox Demon, Nitta has decided to join your command in the East from tomorrow onwards and serve you as hard as he can. He will try his best to persuade his East Spiritual Exterminator to be loyal to you!"
After running for a certain distance, for some reason, Nitta had tears in his eyes. He stretched out his legs and grabbed Haoren's legs tightly, and said something very excited.
Wait, what happened to me?
Why do you suddenly look so affectionate and ask to be loyal to him?
Damn it, my legs are sweating so much, it’s so disgusting (kimo), please put your legs down!
Nitta's words obviously shocked Haoren greatly.
Especially because of his excitement, the sweat on his legs gave Haoren a layer of goosebumps all over his body.
Perhaps because of this, Haoren's attention was diverted and he did not notice that the ground to the east of his feet suddenly collapsed.
And by the time he noticed it, it was already too late.
"Xintian, he copied it, my grandma!"
Just like that, Nitta pulled Haoren affectionately, and the two of them were tied up by the legs at the same time, and fell into a deep black hole together...
