As the fire was extinguished, the sound of the forest guard's chanting also stopped abruptly, and the wind in the forest also returned to its usual humid and hot feeling with the end of the chanting.
Ying Ge opened his eyes, raised his right hand slightly and swung it back. The four forest guards who put their hands on his shoulders returned to the team, but stood slightly closer to the front. Location.
He lowered his head, glanced at the bloody hole on his chest that had been punched by Hu Taoer's demonic fire, and frowned secretly, but did not take any action to heal the wound, but raised his head as if nothing had happened.
Ying Ge's eyes lingered on Shi Douzi for a while, then looked at Xiao Yu and Qin Lin, with a somewhat complicated expression. Finally, his eyes fell on the woman.
"For the sake of Protector Shi's face, I only give you a quarter of an hour to report your origins and why you suddenly appeared in the Demon Realm. Otherwise, I will kill you and others without mercy and throw you into the Demon Transformation Tomb to dissolve with formations." kill."
Ying Ge's face was a little pale, and he looked a little weak from his hands and the struggle with the woman just now, but his words were full of coldness.
Every word of those words echoed very clearly in the forest, as if they were being spoken to everyone present.
Shi Douzi's face suddenly changed when his name was called inexplicably. His pupils obviously dilated a little at that moment, and he quickly shook his head and waved wildly towards Ying Ge.
"Brother Yingge, you can't do this. I just completed the transaction with Miss Xiaoliu under the orders of my queen. I don't know these people. You don't have to look out for my sake. Just do whatever you want!"
Shi Douzi hurriedly explained, not knowing that it was because the wind in the forest suddenly became hotter. His forehead was covered with sweat and the front of his clothes was soaked.
As he wiped his sweat, he complained in his heart.
He lamented that this journey had been too unsatisfactory. For the sake of the Demon Queen's phosphorous bones, he almost lost his life when he broke into the barrier of the Demon Tomb.
It was easy to find it, but because of my poor thinking, the cooperation with Xiao Yu was ruined, so I could only exchange it for more and better demon elements.
Although this was allowed by the Demon Queen, it was obvious that he was almost a useless person in the Demon Queen's heart. He was also caught when he said bad things about the other party. If this matter could not be handled well, he would not have to live.
But seeing that the matter was done, at the last moment another Ying Ge shot out halfway, and the formation was forced to close.
The demon element cannot be taken out, which means that the phosphorus bone cannot be obtained, and returning to the oasis world to return to life has become far away...
Thinking of this, Shi Douzi felt bitter and unbearable, and tears shone in his eyes.
"Guardian Shi, what's wrong with you?"
Xiao Yu and Hu Tao'er were closest to him. Seeing that his eyes suddenly filled with tears, Hu Tao'er asked with concern.
Only then did Shi Douzi realize that he had accidentally revealed his emotions. Feeling embarrassed, he used his sleeves as a handkerchief and wiped his face clean.
"It's okay, I'm just sighing. Our demon clan is getting more and more lively. I can still see you passionate young people at this age. I feel uncomfortable. I suddenly want to go home..."
Xiao Yu was not a fool. When he saw Shi Douzi's worried look, he probably had the same suspicion and felt more sympathy for him.
But then again, she didn't understand why Shi Douzi, a dignified demon protector, was so afraid of a forest guard like Ying Ge.
And Xiao Yu's thoughtful expression with some contempt was naturally seen in the eyes of the other party.
Shi Douzi sighed softly and looked toward the south with melancholy eyes.
"I know your doubts about why Brother Yingge dared to threaten to kill them all even though they were injured, but what I want to tell you is that he is not just talking nonsense, but he does not need help at all, he can easily do it alone!
"
Shi Douzi raised his head slightly and sighed while looking into the distance.
"This... he's injured like that. One against a hundred, are you kidding?"
Hu Taoer asked in shock.
At the same time, she also looked at Ying Ge. Although the blood on his chest had solidified, the injury was still shocking. She couldn't help but feel uncomfortable, and she felt even more apologetic.
"It's a long story at this point, so I won't talk more about it today. Girl over there, if you and your group of people want to leave alive, you'd better do what he said, otherwise, no matter how much face I have, I won't be able to save you.
I can’t help you.”
Shi Douzi sighed again and advised the woman.
The woman remained speechless. She stood in front of Mei Yu'er, her expression as cold and arrogant as ever, as if she didn't care at all about what Ying Ge had just said, but she heard Shi Douzi's words.
Although she was a little unclear about the reason, the other party's advice in front of so many people was worthy of her careful consideration.
This trip was beyond her expectation. She actually didn't care about anything, but there was one person among these people that she cared about, that boy.
This young man was a hostage whom she had escorted under the orders of the King of Huoli Kingdom. He had a noble status and could not be compared with ordinary people. If something went wrong, she might not be able to explain it to the King.
Seeing that the woman was silent, the soldiers behind her all looked alert and clenched their weapons, as if they were about to face a real life-and-death battle soon, silently waiting for orders.
They were a group of dead soldiers accompanying the woman to escort the young hostage. Naturally, they had heard what Shi Douzi said just now.
Xiao Yu and Qin Lin stood together, silent because of Shi Douzi's words, and wondering in their hearts how to resolve this situation as soon as possible.
Judging from the conversation just now, this woman should be the childhood friend of Qin Lin and Mei Yuer, and their relationship should be very close.
Furthermore, after all these twists and turns, she didn't even see half of the demon essence. The most important thing was to get the demon essence from the Demon Transformation Tomb as soon as possible and find a way to reach the oasis world as quickly as possible.
She looked towards where the woman was, her eyes passed through the woman and landed on Mei Yu'er.
In fact, when she came out of the barrier, she had already noticed that Mei Yuer's body was exuding a faint smell of corruption. She was very familiar with that smell, which was produced when the Burning Heart Gu was active.
The reason why Qin Lin beside her wanted to negotiate with Ying Ge and resolve the conflict as soon as possible as he did just now must have sensed Mei Yuer's abnormality.
Just as he was thinking about this, Xiao Yu found that the woman's eyes had quietly fallen on him at some point, and she looked thoughtful.
She just stared at Xiao Yu without saying a word, as if trying to confirm something.
That kind of look made Xiao Yu feel uncomfortable. She could feel that the woman was probing her at this time, and it was obvious that she didn't care at all whether she wanted to or not.
This feeling was as if she was suddenly swept over by an extremely cold tide without warning. It was so chilling that she couldn't help but tremble in her heart.
However, this kind of exploration only lasted for a short moment, adding up to less than a breath of time. When the chill suddenly receded, the thin sword in the woman's hand suddenly turned into blue smoke and disappeared in the palm of her hand.
She took steps in the direction of Ying Ge. This move made the soldiers behind her look at each other with doubts and worry on their faces, and their spirits became tense.
Although the woman was wearing heavy armor, she walked with light and agile steps, just like the refreshing wind in the forest. She had already arrived in front of Ying Ge in the blink of an eye.
Only then did Xiao Yu see clearly that this woman was almost as tall as Ying Ge, but she looked stronger in her armor.
And her calm and calm look, without the slightest fear of Ying Ge, couldn't help but make the wound on Xiao Yu's shoulder hurt silently.
While Xiao Yu was observing the other party, the woman's sonorous and powerful voice also sounded crisply in the long night of the endless forest.
"I'm Hanyan, on the order of the king of the Human Race's Fire Li Kingdom, we escorted Baoyan Kingdom's protagonist Yu Phosphorus Crown Prince from the two battlefields in the southeast. We were originally going to take a detour to the Fire Li Kingdom's palace, but unexpectedly we passed by the edge of the Demon Realm along the way for some unknown reason.
I was swept here by a strange wind, and you must already know what happened next."
"Is there any evidence?" Ying Ge asked rhetorically.
The woman named Han Yan frowned slightly. After thinking for a moment, she took out a palm-sized card from her waist.
"The war between the two countries is coming to an end, and I was ordered to do so in a critical situation, with only His Majesty's oral instructions. However, there is a card in His Highness's hand here. I wonder if it is okay."
Han Yan said, still a little hesitant, but finally took out the hand of cards and handed them to Ying Ge.
However, the other party did not take the object immediately. Instead, after a few steps, he suddenly raised his head and looked towards the sky.
Everyone was puzzled by his sudden move, but Shi Douzi's face became extremely ugly, and he actually looked up at the sky like Ying Ge.
The two seemed to be waiting for something.
After a while, Ying Ge finally looked away from the sky and his eyes fell on the hand of cards.
He grabbed Han Yan's hand, and the cards immediately flew to his palm and was pinched by him.
"Floating life?"
Ying Ge whispered the two words on the card in his hand and asked.
"This is the name of His Highness the Second Highness."
Han Yan answered simply, without any concealment.
Looking at the delicate sign in his hand, Ying Ge fell into deep thought.
This card is entirely made of gold, and the front is plated with a layer of blue enamel, making the two curved words extremely shiny.
"This doesn't prove anything."
Ying Ge threw the cards back and said calmly.
In Xiao Yu's senses, she noticed that Qin Lin's figure moved for a moment, as if he was about to take something out from his waist, but he took it back when Ying Ge finished his words.
She suddenly remembered that Qin Lin had shown a token to the gatekeeper when the group of people came out of Huoli Kingdom. Now that she thought about it, there were indeed some similarities between the token and the one in Han Yan's hand.
However, it is obvious that Yingge has already given a negative answer. Even if there is another brand of the same brand, it seems that it cannot prove anything.
At this moment, Ying Ge raised his head again, and this time the direction he was looking at was the sky at the second level of the boundary. The expression on his face seemed to have a hint of doubt.
Xiao Yu also felt a familiar aura at this time, but the noise of the other party's appearance was too loud. She frowned, pursed her lips, and began to feel worried.
As a strong wind roared in, two familiar figures, one large and one small, suddenly appeared from the sky above Youjie. They glided past Ying Ge's head at extremely fast speeds, and finally landed in front of Xiao Yu with a thud.
