Not long after they ran out, Huang Qin suddenly turned around alertly, his whole body arched, and all his golden hair stood up.
Its posture startled Ma Tao, who was running with it. Was there some demon preparing to attack them in the dark, and was it discovered by Huang Qin?
Ma Tao immediately put the long knife in his hand in front of him and stood beside Huang Qin, making a defensive posture.
High in the sky, Feng Wu also discovered something. He circled twice and then flew back for a while, landing far in front of Huang Qin and Ma Tao.
Ming Zhiyuan looked a little angry and jumped down from Feng Wu.
Further away, two figures, one white and one green, were running towards him quickly.
At this moment, Ming Zhiyuan felt that his heart and liver were trembling with anger. Aren't these two guys still practicing and sleeping? How did they follow them out quietly? They also avoided the patrolling sentry.
It seems that when I return this time, I need to remind the defending General Hai and the monsters, as well as Yingdu, that there are so many monsters coming out of the city, but they haven't noticed them at all.
Yeping and Bai Niu ran up to Ming Zhiyuan in a hurry. Bai Niu kept circling around him, looking triumphant, her tail wagging like a dog's tail in the wind.
Yeping was not that showy. He opened his mouth wide and hummed: "We... also... want to go."
At this time, they had been out for so long and were almost reaching the depths of the sand sea. It was impossible to send them back. Ming Zhiyuan gritted his teeth and fed each of them a Soaring Cloud Pill and asked them to follow Huang Qin.
Go to the magic city.
He also asked Ma Tao to ride Feng Wu with him to the Demon City first. Huang Qin and Yeping Bainiu were waiting a hundred miles away from the Demon City to take charge of the reception.
The speed of Feng Wu and the two people remained unchanged, and they disappeared into the dark night as fast as lightning.
It was almost midnight, and they could already vaguely see the Demon City from high in the sky.
At this time, Ming Zhiyuan took out a few more pills from the small cloth bag and handed them to Ma Tao, telling him not to act rashly if he got separated from him, but to hide first and find an opportunity before escaping from the magic city.
After he finished instructing on the usage and efficacy of the elixir, Feng Wu was already above the Demon City.
Ming Zhiyuan had been to the Demon City before and knew that the largest building in the middle was the Demon Palace. He directed Feng Wu to slowly descend into a large courtyard next to the Demon Palace.
The mansion was very quiet. Even at this late night, the demons were sleeping peacefully.
As soon as he landed in the courtyard, Ming Zhiyuan immediately took out a long incense stick, stuffed a bitter elixir into the mouths of Ma Tao and Feng Wu each, lit the long incense stick, and quietly walked towards the backyard with the man and the beast.
go.
He had seen clearly from high in the air just now that the backyard of this big house was closest to the Demon Palace, and the distance from the Demon Palace was almost only two courtyard walls and a road in the middle.
After arriving in the backyard, he first slowly released the aura from his Dantian. Although he could now practice spiritual energy, the aura emitted from his inner elixir was still almost the same as demonic aura.
Walking into the door of the main room in the backyard, he gently placed the incense stick on the crack of the door. The smoke from the incense gradually penetrated into the room.
After waiting for a while, Ming Zhiyuan nodded to Ma Tao and whispered to Feng Wu: "Wait here."
After that, he and Ma Tao walked in tandem and gently opened the door. As soon as they entered the door, there was a table and a screen behind the table. Going around the screen, there was an empty wooden bed.
There is no one living in this backyard, but it seems that there are usually people living there, but no one is there tonight.
Seeing that there was no one in the room, Ma Tao felt relieved, sat down on the bed, and said to Ming Zhiyuan: "What should we do now?"
Ming Zhiyuan first extinguished the long incense stick stuck in the crack of the door, then turned back and said: "Let me prepare. I have been to the Demon Palace, and there is this..."
He waved the incense and continued: "Even the Demon Emperor needs at least one cup of tea to sleep."
Ma Tao's eyes lit up: "Is this thing so easy to use? If you make more of it, it will put the entire Demon City to sleep, wouldn't it be enough..."
Ming Zhiyuan knew what he wanted to say. He smiled bitterly and said: "It's hard to find medicinal materials. The prescriptions are obtained from the secret realm, and the medicinal materials are only found there. I used all the medicinal materials I brought out that could be used."
, I just refined one stick of this thing, and I can barely use it tonight. Do you want to put a magic city to sleep? Even 11,100,000 medicinal materials are not enough."
After hearing this, Ma Tao smiled helplessly and said, "Then shall we go there now?"
Ming Zhiyuan nodded: "I'll go over there, you and Feng Wu are hovering in the sky, pay attention to the movement of the Demon Palace. After I succeed, I will run to the wide area of the Demon Palace. You and Feng Wu must come to meet me in time."
When Ma Tao heard what Ming Zhiyuan said, he couldn't help but frown and said: "Looking at the opportunity, Feng Wu can take care of you. Why should I follow you up there? I'll go with you. If anything happens, I can take care of you, otherwise this boss
Why should I follow you from afar? Just to watch with Feng Wu in the sky how you ran out?"
Ming Zhiyuan saw that Ma Tao looked unwilling, and then said: "Feng Wu is timid. If you don't watch, I'm afraid it will see a bunch of demons chasing me out, and it won't dare to come down to pick me up.
I ran away first, do you understand?"
Ma Tao looked at Ming Zhiyuan and thought for a while. This phoenix was indeed too timid. If the critical moment came, it might escape first.
"With Feng Wu and I taking care of you, why did you leave Huang Qin and the others outside the city to take care of you?"
"You are stupid. The demon will definitely chase us out of the city. Feng Wu takes the two of us. We can go faster in the short term, but as time goes by, there is no guarantee that it will not slow down.
Huang Qin and the others were resting and waiting a hundred miles away. Although the speed of the monsters was not as fast as the monsters, it was still stronger than the demons. They blocked us a little and ran after us.
I estimate that the Demon Emperor is fine if he doesn't get hit. If he gets hit, even if he doesn't fall asleep, his strength will be limited within a cup of tea. Within an hour, he won't be able to pursue us at high speed."
"Wait, what did you just say? This thing may not be able to make the Demon Emperor sleep? Then you went to give him the inner elixir?" Ma Tao noticed the flaw in Ming Zhiyuan's words and asked with his eyes wide open.
Ming Zhiyuan was silent for a moment and said: "The Danfang said there is no problem, but the Demon King has reached the peak of the Martial God, so there is no guarantee that he will fall asleep, but as long as his magic power cannot be lifted, it will be no problem for me to take a little blood from him.
"
"You can pull him down, but I'll do it. I'm a god of martial arts after all. Even if I can't defeat you, I can still run a few steps longer than you."
"Do you have demon aura? This little incense is only enough for the Demon Emperor. Your body is full of human aura. Without demon aura, you can't even walk to the Demon Emperor's palace."
Seeing Ma Tao's eyes wide open and speechless, he comforted him again: "Don't worry, I have the devil's aura, and this."
He shook out a piece of dough in his hand and continued: "This dough was made according to the appearance of an elder who was on the defensive line that day.
Even if I bump into a patrol demon, I will still be able to get past it. With my demon energy, everything will be safe. Just take Feng Wu and pay attention to the movements in the demon palace."
Ma Tao gasped and thought for a long time, but he really couldn't figure out how he could sneak into the devil's palace without being covered by the devil's energy.
With his aura, he is like a bright torch as soon as he enters the Demon Palace. The demons on patrol don't even need to see him. They can find him by carefully distinguishing it and following the aura.
Ming Zhiyuan walked away and patted his shoulder: "Don't worry, if nothing happens, with Feng Wu's speed, I will kick you down and Feng Wu and I will run away first. Then I will have to wrong you and find a way to go back by myself."
Already."
Ma Tao couldn't think of any other way for a while, so he had to bow his head and said: "We agreed, if it doesn't work, I will come down by myself, and you can go first."
Ming Zhiyuan nodded: "Don't worry, I know how powerful it is. It's better for you to be caught than for me to be caught."
Ma Tao looked over him, still a little worried, but he didn't know if there was any other way to hide his aura and enter the Demon Palace besides this. He could only lower his head, pat the edge of the bed and said: "Okay.
, then Feng Wu and I will wait for you. You have to be extremely careful yourself."
Before he finished speaking, he only heard a rattling sound from the bottom of the bed. Ma Tao was shocked, jumped up, turned around, and stood side by side with Ming Zhiyuan, pointing the long knife in his hand at the sudden movement of the wood.
bed.
I saw the wooden bed slowly moving to the side amidst the creaking sound, and soon a hidden ladder going downwards was revealed below.
Ming Zhiyuan and Ma Tao waited for a long time but did not hear any other sounds. It seemed that just now Ma Tao patted the edge of the bed and opened the hidden staircase.
Ma Tao made a gesture to Ming Zhiyuan, indicating that he should go down first and let Ming Zhiyuan stay on top and not follow him.
Ma Tao first stepped onto the hidden ladder, stepped hard on it, and then walked down step by step, gradually going lower and lower. In the end, Ming Zhiyuan could no longer see the top of Ma Tao's head.
Just when Ming Zhiyuan was considering whether to shout first and ask Ma Tao what was going on down there, Ma Tao's voice came from the bottom of the hidden staircase: "Zhiyuan, come down, there is no devil here, this...
It seems to be a human race, come and see what’s going on?”
Ming Zhiyuan then stepped on the hidden ladder and walked around a few times to reach the underground. A small room was built below. It was empty all around except for a stone bed in the middle. On the bed lay a person who was not sure whether he was alive or dead.
He was covered with a quilt, and his exposed head also had messy hair covering his face. It was impossible to tell whether he was a demon or a human.
Ming Zhiyuan took a few steps closer and felt only a faint demonic aura, but he saw that the man lying on the bed had no scales on his face and neck exposed among his messy hair.
The scales on the demon's body gradually faded away as his cultivation strength increased. This man's limbs were tied with iron chains, but there were no scales between his neck. He looked like a human being.
Ming Zhiyuan followed Ma Tao and walked towards the man whose limbs were chained.
Ma Tao gently patted the man's shoulder with the back of his knife. Seeing no response, he took another two steps closer and reached out to sweep aside the man's messy hair covering his face.
Ming Zhiyuan saw the man's face, his eyes widened for a moment, and he lost his voice: "Why is it him?"
