Chapter 209: Li Ci arrives! The demons are in danger
…
Blood Demon Ridge.
Blood Demon Ridge is located in the angle between the Fairy No. 3 Defense Zone and the Demon No. 2 Defense Zone. It is in a remote location with barren land. The few minerals it has are not of high value. Even in the vast Demonic Domain, they are relatively poor.
place.
This Blood Demon Ridge is the territory of the Blood Demon King.
Deep in the Blood Demon Ridge, there is a Demon King's Castle named [Blood Demon King's Castle].
This is the core of the Blood Demon King's territory and the core of his power.
However, due to the relatively poor situation of Blood Demon Ridge, the Blood Demon Castle has not been seriously repaired and maintained for several years. The high walls of the majestic castle are covered with mottled marks, and you can tell at a glance that it has been weathered.
.
Under the illumination of the blood moon, the dark red bricks and stones seemed to be covered with a layer of blood, looking extremely vicissitudes of life.
However.
On this day, the Demon King's Castle, located in a remote place, welcomed a distinguished guest.
In the early morning, before the morning fog in the mountains had completely dissipated, a team of nearly a thousand demons marched through the bloody sky and arrived outside the Scarlet Demon King's Castle.
In the center of the team, a giant black and gold wooden chariot pulled by seven large flying dragon monsters stood out.
The shape of the chariot is like a moving palace. The surface is carved with exquisite patterns like reliefs. The windows, pillars, relief eyes and other parts are also inlaid with various gems. It looks extremely gorgeous and luxurious.
Even the flying dragon monster that pulls the cart is covered in metal armor, and the armor is even inlaid with dazzling gems in conspicuous places.
In the Flying Palace, there are demon servants of different races wearing uniform costumes standing everywhere, and there are flags symbolizing the identity of the owner of the demon chariot fluttering in every corner.
Outside the Flying Palace.
There is another team of nearly a thousand aerial cavalry guarding the flying palace. Each of this aerial cavalry team is of extraordinary strength, riding a small flying dragon with complete armor on its crotch.
From a distance, the demon aerial cavalry team is highly disciplined and orderly, and filled with demonic aura. Judging from the power, the combat effectiveness of this demon aerial cavalry will definitely not be low.
Under the protection and background of this demon aerial cavalry, the flying palace was even more powerful, and actually showed a bit of majesty like an emperor on patrol.
How have the guards of the Scarlet Demon King's Castle ever seen such a battle?
Seeing this mighty team parked in the open space outside the Demon King's Castle, the demon general who was responsible for guarding the gate was immediately stunned. He was stunned for a long time and could not recover.
"Go and inform your Demon King that Young Master Mingsha is here. Let him come and greet you as soon as possible."
At this time, among the stopped demon army, a demon general riding a large flying dragon suddenly flew out, stopped in front of the goalkeeper, and gave an order in a cold voice.
Ming, Ming Sha Young Master?!
The demon general was startled, and quickly and tremblingly responded. Then he turned around and rushed towards the castle without caring about anything else.
However, before it could rush into the castle, a rough and deep voice came from the sky: "Young Master, you are finally here."
As he spoke, a bloody figure fell from the sky and landed in front of the team.
It was a burly Demon King. His appearance was roughly that of a human, but his body was covered with a layer of blood-colored hard scales. Even the demon wings on his back were bright red in color. His whole body exuded a rich smell of blood, and he looked extremely ferocious.
.
Obviously, this bloody figure is the owner of the Scarlet Devil Castle, the Blood Devil.
"Owner?!"
The demon general's movements were stagnant, and he immediately knelt on the ground fearfully and bowed respectfully.
The Scarlet Demon King ignored it, strode past it, and bowed deeply towards the huge demon chariot palace with an extremely respectful attitude.
"Young master, you've been working hard all the way. Your subordinates have prepared a banquet..."
"There's no need for a banquet."
An arrogant male voice came from inside the demon chariot, interrupting the Blood Demon King's words.
Following the sound, the curtain of the demon chariot was opened by two demon maids, and a figure slowly walked out.
It was a demon that looked very similar to a human man.
It has a slender body, silver hair and golden eyes, and a handsome appearance. At first glance, it is almost the same as a human being. In terms of appearance alone, it is even more outstanding than most human beings. Its temperament also appears elegant and noble, compared to
Many human beings still have aristocratic temperament.
Only the pair of magic horns on his head, the magic wings gathered behind his back, and the pure and vast underworld aura all over his body showed his identity as a high-level demon.
Obviously, this demon is the Young Master Mingsha mentioned by the Bloody Demon King.
It lowered its eyes and glanced at the Bloody Demon King, and said calmly: "You must know very well why this young master is here, so stop talking nonsense."
"This is."
The Bloody Demon King was a little surprised, but considering that he now wanted something from Young Master Mingsha, he finally agreed.
At this moment, the thick stone door of the Demon King's Castle had already been opened. At the greeting of the Scarlet Demon King, the demon chariot slowly drove into the castle and headed towards the depths of the Demon King's Castle.
Although Demon King's Castle is named after "Fort", it is actually more like a city. It has a vast internal area and is home to a large number of demons of all levels. Even those demon lords who have their own territories still live there most of the time.
In the Demon King's Castle.
The inner castle where the Scarlet Demon King lives is located in the deepest part of the Scarlet Demon King's castle.
Soon, a group of demons arrived at the inner castle in a mighty manner, and then, led by the Scarlet Demon King, they passed through most of the inner castle and arrived at a cellar deep in the inner castle.
In the pool in the center of the cellar, a lotus with dark purple lotus leaves in bud is growing quietly, exuding pure and incomparable ghostly evil energy.
Although the lotus flower has not bloomed yet, it already has a faintly extraordinary charm. When it really blooms, it will surely be even more extraordinary.
"Young Master, this is the [Netherworld Purple Golden Lotus] that I got." The Bloody Demon King introduced the situation to Young Master Nethersha with some complacency.
This Netherworld Purple Lotus was found in a remote magic spring. It was already in bud when it was discovered, and it didn't have much time before it matured and bloomed.
For this Netherworld Purple Lotus, the Bloody Demon King specially made a space deep underground in his Demon King's Castle to cultivate it.
This cellar has undergone extensive renovations, and a huge pool was excavated in the center, and the Netherworld Purple Lotus was transplanted into the pool.
In order to prevent the Netherworld Purple Golden Lotus from not adapting to the environment here, the Blood Demon King also ordered someone to get a blood-colored bead and hang it above the underground space to simulate the light of the blood moon.
Even the water in the pool is specially drawn from the magic spring where it was found. The color of the spring water is dark, and the water is filled with demonic energy. You can tell it is extremely pure at a glance.
Every day, demons would bring fresh water back from the magic spring and replace part of the water in the pool to maintain the activity of the spring water in the pool.
Because of the fear of the escape of demonic energy, the Netherworld Purple Golden Lotus will stop growing if it lacks the supply of demonic energy. It even embedded five magic source beads on the edge of the pool to continuously provide the pool with replenishing demonic energy.
It also set up sentries outside the cellar and sent three teams of demons to watch the Netherworld Purple Golden Lotus in twelve-hour shifts.
And on the periphery of this cellar, various means and formations have been deployed, guarding it layer by layer, and the defense is extremely tight, for fear of anything going wrong.
For this Netherworld Purple Golden Lotus, the Bloody Demon King had put all his efforts into it.
However, it's all worth it.
"This pure Netherworld aura... really looks like the legendary Netherworld Purple Golden Lotus." Young Master Ningsha stared at the lotus, with greed and desire in his eyes.
This [Netherworld Purple Golden Lotus] is a rare treasure in the demon world. The most important thing is that it is extremely compatible with your own bloodline and physique. After it is fully opened, as long as you can digest its medicinal power, you can greatly optimize your demonic body. At the same time,
Temper your own bloodline to make it closer to the bloodline of the ancient demon god.
This can greatly consolidate its foundation and give it unlimited potential in the future.
It can even be said that with the assistance of this [Netherworld Purple Golden Lotus], its future strength will definitely surpass that of the contemporary Netherworld Demon God, and there is even the possibility of spying on the position of the Demon Lord in the distant future.
"Young Master, this treasure is not far away from its maturity. Please be patient for a little longer." The Scarlet Demon King said with a slight smile, "In recent days, I have been living in a poor and remote place in my country.
Various witches and banquets have been arranged for you."
"Okay, very good." Young Master Ningsha showed a kind look, "Lord Bloody is really understanding of me. You found the Netherworld Purple Golden Lotus for me, which is a great achievement. Your request to replace the Demon King's Castle,
I will definitely report it to the ancestral gods and ensure that you get what you wish for. Moreover, from now on you are my confidant, and I will definitely not treat you badly in the future."
"Thank you so much, young master." The Scarlet Demon King was overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly, but he couldn't help cursing secretly in his heart.
If this Nether Purple Golden Lotus had no effect on its lineage of demons, would it be willing to use it to please Young Master Nether Evil in exchange for territory?
Not to mention this poor place is poor and barren. Every time there is a war between demons and humans nearby, it sends troops to support it. How can it develop over time?
However, even though it was scolding secretly in its heart, its face did not show any strangeness at all. Instead, it still looked respectful and submissive.
"Young Master, follow me."
The Bloody Demon King led Young Master Mingsha out of the cellar, and then took Young Master Mingsha to experience the projects that had been arranged long ago, and went away to his heart's content.
And in this cellar, peace returned again.
Only the protective formation and steel wall at the bottom of the cellar still protect this precious Netherworld Purple Lotus.
Time passed little by little.
"Chacha~~Zhizhichacha~~"
Suddenly, an inaudible rat bark sounded.
Then, deep in the cellar, a big, fat rat quietly pushed open a rock and poked its head out.
It sniffed the wings of its nose, and when it felt that there was no one or even a demon around, it came out of the hole, waved its paws and chirped, signaling for the people behind it to follow.
Then, two charming and cute girls in costumes emerged from the cave, as well as a slightly smaller escapement female rat.
Obviously, these two well-dressed girls are Wang Lizi and Lan Wan'er. As for the escaped female rat, she is naturally the big rat's wife No. 395.
The defense inside this cellar is indeed very tight, but how can it be difficult to house a group of powerful and recidivist criminals?
With the cooperation of Big Mouse and Wang Lizi, they successfully broke through the defense line and entered the hinterland of the cellar with only a little effort.
"This is..." Wang Lizi sniffed the [Netherworld Purple Golden Lotus], suddenly showed a very interested expression, swallowed and said, "Although I don't know what this is, it looks delicious."
Even if this [Netherworld Purple Golden Lotus] is not the top innate variety, but a disguised counterfeit of the Netherworld Golden Lotus, it is still an extremely rare natural material and earthly treasure, not inferior to the previous fleshy mushroom.
In Wang Lizi's bloodline induction, there is still a being that can make her drool.
"Sister Li Ci is still awesome, she can eat anything." Lan Wan'er had an expression of envy and admiration on her face.
She also has the talent of devouring blood. Relying on the characteristics of blood, her blood qualifications have also increased a lot over the years, but compared with Wang Lizi's characteristic of devouring everything, it is still far behind.
This weird-looking budding lotus exudes a dark and dark smell, and its energy is extremely pure and domineering. She doesn't dare to eat too much. At most, when Li Ci eats a big head, she will eat a few pieces.
Taste the lotus petals.
"Squeak~" The escaped female mouse rubbed the big mouse flatteringly, as if to say: I didn't lie to you, did I? Now I have made a meritorious service, right?
"Chi-chi-chi-chi-chi!"
The big mouse responded with a few words arrogantly, which immediately made the escaped mother mouse very happy and started to circle around the big mouse.
"Sister Li Ci." Lan Wan'er asked curiously, "What did the big mouse promise to the mother mouse?"
"It seems that he promised to spend more time with him and give birth to more litters of mice." Wang Lizi said in a confused tone.
"It is indeed a scum rat." Lan Wan'er couldn't help but cast a look of deep contempt at the big rat.
"I feel that this thing is not fully mature yet. If you wait and pick it when it is fully pregnant, the effect of eating it will definitely be better." Wang Lici resisted the urge to swallow the lotus flower in one mouthful, showing the instinct of a foodie.
It was highlighted most vividly at this moment, "I have a strong feeling that it will not be long before it blooms and matures."
"Then, just wait a little longer?" Lan Wan'er suggested, "I heard that some elixirs have to be picked at the moment they are ripe for the best effect. If such good things are not fully matured,
If you take it when the time comes, it will waste a lot of medicinal power, which would be a pity."
"Slag rat." Wang Lizi waved towards the big rat.
It immediately came over with a poop.
Wang Lizi gave it instructions carefully. The big mouse immediately understood, and then he called the mother mouse over very intelligently and gave the instructions again in a chirping voice.
Then, the mother rat smartly began to get into the hole, and ordered her children and grandchildren to start monitoring the cellar and report any disturbance at any time.
Wang Lizi and others had completely regarded this [Netherworld Purple Golden Lotus] as a treasure in their pocket. After setting up a dragnet, the two of them swaggered into the hole and walked away.
While waiting for the Netherworld Purple Lotus to bloom, just stay active underground in the Scarlet Devil Castle and become the underground king for a while.
As for the food!?
Haha~ How can the huge Scarlet Demon King's Castle "not be able to support" Wang Lizi and the others?
Wang Lizi and Lan Wan'er didn't have any psychological burden at all by stealing food from the demons outside the territory. Instead, they felt a sense of accomplishment from indirectly suppressing the enemy.
In comparison, it was the taste of the food that was really hard for them, who were used to eating delicacies from all over the world.
…
at the same time.
A trading team composed of hundreds of large Kodo camel beasts is also migrating from other Demon King's castles to the Blood Demon King's castle.
The Kodo camel beast is a large-scale monster unique to the extraterrestrial demon world. It is large in size, has a gentle temperament, and is easy to feed. It has been domesticated into a tool beast by the extraterrestrial demons a long time ago.
The largest Kodo camel weighs up to two to three hundred tons, which is slightly heavier than the largest dinosaur on earth. Its appearance is somewhat like a combination of an elephant and a camel, and its thick body and limbs can easily carry dozens of tons.
Heavy cargo.
The most rare thing is that their speed is not slow, and they can climb over mountains and ridges as if they were walking on flat ground.
It is also for this reason that the supply and transportation of many bulk goods of the demon clan outside the territory are undertaken by the Kodo camel beast.
Of course, the demons also have some high-end flying monster vehicles, airships and other transportation and means of transportation. But those are all big players who burn magic crystals, and the cargo capacity may not be high, considering the transportation efficiency and cost of large quantities of cargo.
In terms of expenditure, there is no doubt that Kodo Camel Beast is the best choice with the highest cost performance.
In fact, after the fierce battle with the human race, the foreign demon tribe also suffered a huge impact, and the demon tribe's civilization also experienced a fault. Today's demon tribe is no longer the high-end race that can suppress the Shenwu Dynasty.
.
To a certain extent, the final desperate fight of the Shenwu Holy Emperor had an impact on the demons outside the territory even more than the human race.
It's a pity that that period of history is so long ago that most of it has been lost in the ages. Today's demon clan has few memories of that history and the glory of the demon clan.
.
The back of the Kodo Camel Beast is very broad and it is quite stable when moving forward. Therefore, demon merchants like to build semi-fixed camps on the back of the Kodo Camel Beast to serve as temporary residences. In this way, the long journey will be smoother.
It will become more comfortable.
Depending on the financial resources and status, the specifications and magnificence of the tents on the backs of the Kodo Camel Beasts also vary greatly.
now.
On the back of one of the Kodo camel beasts, in a luxuriously decorated tent, two demons were sitting and talking.
One of the demons is a demon woman wearing a veil.
It has a head of flowing silver hair like a waterfall, the exposed half of its face has delicate and white skin, and an exquisite appearance. Its eyes are cold and charming like snakes. Under the flowing skirt, there is a snake tail swaying back and forth, which looks unusual.
Evil charm.
The crimson gauze curtain hangs down from the top of the tent, swaying slightly as the Kodo camel beast advances, hazy, bringing out a crimson reverie, and makes its figure extremely charming and alluring.
This witch is none other than Suraya, the "dancing queen" who has become famous in the demon world in recent decades.
It is said that she has the bloodline of the ancient demon noble blood Yin Mei Snake. Although she is not particularly top-notch, she is extremely pure, but she also has demon king-level potential.
If we trace the source of her bloodline, she and the [Demon God of Yinsha], one of the eight contemporary demon gods, can be considered to belong to the same lineage and are close relatives.
For this reason, regardless of body shape and temperament, the two witches still look somewhat similar, especially their skin as white and delicate as milk, and their vertical pupils like snake eyes.
Similar.
Due to the existence of the demon god Yinshao, most of the demons with Yinshamei Snake's bloodline in the outer demon world have gathered under the Yinshao Demon Temple and formed a force.
However, the bloodline of the Yinmei Snake lineage is very ancient and has many branches. It is impossible for the Yinshao Demon God to take under his command all the demons with the Yinmei Snake lineage. The other demon gods will rule more or less.
There are still some demons with the Yin Mei Snake bloodline, but they are relatively rare and scattered.
"Dancing Girl" Suraya is such an existence.
Rumor has it that she is Hou Yi, the bloodline of a certain fallen demon king. With her unique racial talent, noble bloodline, status as a descendant of the demon king, and her unique and creative dance moves, she has only been famous for a few decades since her debut.
It spread to the sphere of influence of dozens of Demon King's Castles.
Nowadays, she travels around and is often warmly entertained by local lords and demon kings, and earns a lot of money.
This time, her team was invited by the [Tian Mo Pavilion] to perform at the [Tian Mo Pavilion] branch of the Scarlet Demon King Castle, so they embarked on the trip with the caravan.
Sitting opposite her was an old demon servant.
This old servant has a stooped figure, his eyes are cloudy, and even the scales on his body have begun to fade. Just by looking at his appearance, you can tell that he is definitely getting older.
On the surface, it is a loyal servant handed down from ancestor Suraya, possessing demon lord-level strength.
But at this time, the old servant of the demon clan was sitting across from Suraya in a grand manner. He warned "Suraya" condescendingly in human language and said: "Demon Suya, this plan has taken the Lord hundreds of years.
, I have invested a lot of energy and paid a high price. I am only allowed to succeed and not fail. And you are a very critical part of the plan. If you make any mistakes, you should know the consequences."
It turns out that this witch is actually disguised as the Demon Envoy Suya.
Demon Envoy Su Ya is an elder of Yin Sha's lineage in the True Demon Palace of the Scarlet Moon Demon Dynasty. At the same time, she is also the junior sister of Yin Snake Demon Ji Yue'er. She and Ji Yue'er were trained under the same Demon Princess.
However, when she competed for the right to own the Yin Demon Book, she lost to the Yin Snake Demon Princess. Even though she has the qualifications of a great genius, she is still at the level of magical power, and has been in the magical realm for most of her life.
There is no hope of entering the Lingxu realm.
"Don't worry, sir." Demon Envoy Suya, who transformed into "Suraya", leaned forward slightly and said with a bit of flattery, "I have practiced this matter many times, and with the help of treasures given by the Demon Lord himself,
It will be successful immediately."
After a pause, she said with some hesitation: "It's just that I have made such a great contribution, and Lord Demon Lord promised me..."
"You can rest assured of this." The old servant said solemnly, "When have you ever seen that the Lord does not keep his word? After the matter is completed, the Lord will personally capture the Yin Snake Demon Queen and deprive her of [Girl Yin Demon]
Book]."
"Although this Yin Demon Book of Young Girls has not accumulated enough essence of heaven and earth to promote your bloodline. But as long as you complete the task well, the Lord promises to pay a big price to help you enter the peerless world, so that you can truly have the ability to enter Lingxu."
qualifications."
"He can even decide to reward Ji Yue'er's Demon King's Palace to you. By then, you will be the orthodox member of the Yin Demon lineage."
"Thank you, Lord Demon Lord, for making this happen!" Demon Envoy Su Ya suddenly showed a look of madness in his eyes when he heard this, and was filled with fighting spirit. "My subordinate will definitely do everything he can to complete the mission as he wishes."
