To say that Shi Douzi was as cowardly as a mouse in front of the Demon Queen, Xiao Yu saw it with his own eyes and naturally believed it. He lost his phosphorous bones and fell into Nian Renjing’s scheme and lost his cultivation. Xiao Yu also believed that he was unlucky.
No doubt.
But the young Xiao Yu ignored one thing, that is, even if Shi Douzi deserves death for losing his treasure, even if she is reasonable, people are still people and monsters are monsters.
If there is a lack of caution in a word, if there is a word that does not sound so pleasant to the Demon Queen's ears, it will accidentally become her disaster.
Just like now, as the Demon Queen finished speaking, the wind direction in the forest suddenly changed.
A strong earth wind suddenly rose from under the Demon Queen's feet, carrying the strong rotten smell from the Demon Transformation Tomb towards Xiao Yu's face.
A strong coldness passed through Xiao Yu's heart, causing her mind to shake violently. Before the ground wind could reach her, she was already forced to lose her footing by the air current.
"Haha, my daughter-in-law didn't mean that."
The voice of the old ghost behind him sounded low and hoarse.
It seems to be just an ordinary statement, but there seems to be a majestic and low-key spiritual power in the voice, rolling up the old and new rotten leaves half a palm thick on the ground, and blowing towards the ground wind that is in front of Xiao Yu.
go.
Wow…
Two gusts of wind, or to be exact, two strands of spiritual energy clinging to the surface of the earth, collided with each other and dispersed in an instant.
The wind stopped suddenly.
It seemed that no one was stronger than the other, but some of the rotten leaves that were pushed into the air happened to be scattered at the feet of the Demon Queen, causing her eyebrows to move slightly unnoticeably for the first time.
A ghostly figure that was even darker than the night suddenly condensed in front of Xiao Yu, completely blocking her behind. What followed was the old ghost's gloomy and eerie laughter.
Everything happened so suddenly that Xiao Yu was so shocked that she almost lost her grip on the phosphorus bone in her hand. By the time she reacted, the thing was already pinched in the old ghost's skinny right hand.
"Haha, what a good thing."
The old ghost clamped the small phosphorus bone between his sharp thumb and forefinger nails, and raised it above his head with squinted eyes. Although there was no light above his head, he still squinted to admire it.
"It doesn't matter what you say, the demon clan's treasure is not a good thing!"
Shi Douzi, who was kneeling aside, muttered softly, but it was too quiet in the forest, which made his voice seem particularly loud.
After hearing this, the Demon Queen frowned completely, her eyes flickered as if there were blades hidden inside, and she glanced down at Shi Douzi, with anger faintly emerging.
But the old ghost didn't mean to care about it. Instead, the clouds were calm and the wind was light, and the spiritual power floated faintly between his two fingers. The phosphorous bone flew towards the Demon Queen as lightly as if it had invisible wings.
It's just that the speed is a bit slow, and everyone's heads can't help but rotate slowly with the phosphorus bone.
Just when Xiao Yu thought that the old ghost was about to return the phosphorus bone to the other party, the phosphorus bone stopped in mid-air, suspended above everyone's heads.
This move instantly solidified the atmosphere.
The Demon Queen's long dark green hair that reached the ground seemed to be rising slightly, which showed that she was angry inside.
"Old man, you dare to challenge me. Do you think I can't beat you, or do you think my demon tribe can't stand up to your ghost tribe?"
There was not much anger in her words, but instead some calm smile.
Under the hood, the old ghost grinned to both sides, shook his head, smiled and waved his hand towards the Demon Queen.
"Haha, the girls of the Yin family have always been like this. But young man, there has been no war between our two clans for hundreds of thousands of years. The peace that our predecessors gained so easily was only because of my daughter and your stupid subordinates.
The deal will be broken if it doesn’t work out. Isn’t it too much to make a fuss about?”
When Xiao Yu heard this, he felt grateful to the old ghost and was also surprised by what he said.
When she first entered the forest, she had seen on the old ghost's map that there was a vague boundary between the Demon Realm and the Strange Realm. At that time, she was a little curious whether there would be disputes between these two clans from time to time.
Sure enough, according to what the old ghost said, at least hundreds of thousands of years ago, there was not much peace between the two races.
"Haha, it sounds like you are very familiar with my Yin family. I have never heard anyone in my family mention someone like you."
The Demon Queen's eyes were calm, and her tone was extremely calm, but her hair was floating lighter, and some of it even stuck directly on Shi Douzi's face.
He wanted to sneeze, but he resisted and did not dare to stain those hairs. His body lay on the ground shaking.
At this moment, a hint of smile appeared in the corner of the Demon Queen's eyes, and she seemed a little happy to see him like this.
"I am a nobody, not worth mentioning. I have known your ancestors many years ago. But there is one thing that I have always been curious about. Is the girl from the Yin family willing to take a back seat to the demon clan?"
The old ghost put his hands back into the wide and dark sleeves, and his thick soul seemed to condense the night into one body. While floating silently in the air very realistically, the strong sound of his cloak in the wind seemed to be heard in the air.
"What's the difference between the throne and the throne?" the Demon Queen asked curiously.
There was a strange light flickering in her eyes, which seemed like a smile but not a smile, and seemed like anger but not anger.
Others didn't notice anything unusual, but Xiao Yezi beside her suddenly calmed down her ferocious expression, and with her thick body, she hid aside, nodding and trembling.
"Haha, it doesn't seem like there's a big difference." The old ghost responded playfully.
Then, he looked at Xiao Yu beside him.
"Girl, the Yin family values its promises and will not break them. If what you said is true, I believe the Demon Queen will make her own decision, so please relax."
After the old ghost said this, he flashed and appeared under the tree where Qin Lin was hanging.
Mei Yu'er was so happy when she saw him coming that she quickly jumped up from her kneeling position. Although she didn't dare to talk nonsense, her eyes were shining with expectation.
The old ghost waved his hand and removed the rope that trapped Qin Lin, and also lifted his ban.
Qin Lin, who was saved, curled his lips and looked a little aggrieved, but he still bowed deeply to the old ghost, but the old ghost ignored him and floated back to the edge of the pit of the Tomb of Demons with his hands in his hands.
Qin Lin lowered his head, his eyes a little sad, but mostly filled with regret, while Mei Yu'er patted him on the back, silently comforting him.
It was late at night, and the forest gradually became quiet. After the old ghost retreated, although Xiao Yu could not hear the conversation between the two, he still showed great composure and saluted respectfully towards the Demon Queen.
Just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted by the Demon Queen waving his hand.
"Okay, don't say the same thing again and again. Shi Douzi..."
Then he half-closed his eyes, squinted his eyes downwards, and called to Shi Douzi.
After hearing this, the other party's hands and feet quickly straightened up and were now clasped at the Demon Queen's feet.
"Young one is here." Shi Douzi didn't dare to respond.
"I'm going to take Little Leaf out for dinner. You can clean up your own mess by yourself. You can do whatever you want with the things in the Demon Tomb. Within a month, Phosphorus Bone must return to the oasis world. Otherwise, haha..."
The Demon Queen's voice echoed enchantingly, like a spell, resounding throughout the surroundings.
As she spoke, Little Leaf appeared on Shi Douzi's head, and the blood-red Xinzi hissed a few times, brushing his shiny forehead with a smooth motion, and then vomited to the side in disgust.
Waves of coolness hit the top of his head, Shi Douzi's whole body shook like a sieve, and he quickly kowtowed to the top of his head.
"The little one must be done, it must be done!"
"Um."
The Demon Queen responded softly, then her delicate face turned to everyone again, her eyes swept in front of everyone, she paused when she passed Mei Yu'er, then with a little curiosity in her eyes, she finally looked at Xiao Yu.
"Have we met somewhere?" the Demon Queen suddenly asked.
Xiao Yu was stunned for a moment, then quickly reviewed Xiaoliu's and his own memories in his mind.
But obviously, Xiao Liu has no memory related to the Demon Queen in the past nineteen years, let alone her own.
So, she shook her head numbly.
"I have been growing up by Master's side since I was a child. I have never left the valley in the past nineteen years. I have never been to the south before, and I have never seen the Demon Queen." Xiao Yu answered sincerely.
Even so, the Demon Queen's eyes still stayed on her for a long time, as if examining her.
Gradually, the Demon Queen's scrutiny gave Xiao Yu an illusion, as if the Demon Queen's eyes were looking at him at this moment. It seemed that he was not looking at himself, but more like he was looking at another person through her.
So she couldn't help but meet the other person's eyes out of curiosity, and unknowingly she looked at the Demon Queen.
Then, when Hu Taoer's elbow was repeatedly poked and painful, she realized her own weakness, and then lowered her head.
"When you get to the oasis world, send the phosphorous bones to the blue sea to listen to the wind. I'll wait for you there."
After saying these words, the figures of the Demon Queen and Little Leaf gradually blurred in the dark night, and finally disappeared completely.
The sudden departure of the Demon Queen caused the surrounding area to fall into a long period of silence.
During this period of time, Shi Douzi did not dare to move at all. It was not until Xiao Yezi's breath completely disappeared within the inner circle of Wuwu Forest that he relaxed his body and almost collapsed to the ground.
He lay down like a toad, breathing heavily while wiping the sweat on his forehead and the saliva left by the little leaves with his sleeves. He even brought it up to him and smelled it, and then fanned it in the distance in disgust.
At this moment, he suddenly remembered what the Demon Queen had said before leaving. A flash of panic flashed across his face, and he quickly stood up straight. His round figure flickered, and the next moment he turned into a majestic demon again.
Domain protector.
"Ahem, Miss Little Six, I promised you before that I would give you 10% of the demon yuan from the First Demon Tomb in exchange for phosphorus bones. Now we will follow this agreement. What do you think?"
While Shi Douzi was beaming, he glanced at the phosphorus bone suspended in mid-air. He looked at it with his hands, and the phosphorus bone flew towards his hand at such a speed that Xiao Yu was stunned.
She never expected that Shi Douzi's face would change immediately after the Demon Queen left her. She felt a little regretful that she had sympathized with him in vain.
But things can't all follow his heart.
Just when the phosphorus bone was about to be held in Shi Douzi's hand, a bone-chilling cold sound came. The phosphorus bone immediately changed its trajectory, turned around in the semi-air conditioner, and after a few circles, it landed directly on the ground.
into Xiao Yu's hands.
The old ghost who just made a cold sound also laughed sinisterly under his hood.
"Haha, junior, you are too anxious. Let me ask you, how many demonic elements are currently deposited in the Demon Transformation Tomb, and how many demonic elements are there above the sixth level?"
