The bloody mark fell off from Li Ji's fingertips. The neck was like a snake, and colorful strange birds appeared and soared in the mark, with fierce breaths.
Thousands of miles away, Su Ran suddenly felt a sharp pain in his eyebrows while walking forward.
Before she came to Xianyang, Li Ji gave her a strand of hair for protection, which she hid in her hair.
At this moment, the hair suddenly burned and turned into the shadow of a strange bird the size of a human.
Given by Li Ji, it can not only protect her, but also use its energy to control Su Ran's life and death.
When the strange bird appeared, Su Ran's expression changed drastically and he screamed: "Lord Li Ji, spare your life!"
Click!
The strange bird appeared, stretched out its sharp beak, and pierced Su Ran's eyebrows like lightning.
Her body also began to collapse, turning into strands of essence that were absorbed and swallowed by the strange bird.
The originally illusory body of the strange bird quickly became clear and solid.
Its wings spread out and flapped, and in the time it took to breathe, it appeared in front of Pei Yu, who was chasing after him.
When Pei Yu sensed something was wrong, the strange bird had already flapped its wings and landed above him.
"Buzz!"
Pei Yu smoothly took out a crossbow from behind.
There is a bronze arrow on the crossbow. When it leaves the bow, it turns into a faint light and shoots directly at the strange bird.
A ray of colored light burst out from the feathers of the strange bird, instantly crushing the arrow.
Pei Yu's heart skipped a beat. This arrow was specially made and indestructible, but it was easily broken by the strange bird.
Where did the evil thing come from, so powerful?
Pei Yu reacted very quickly and rolled on the ground, but he still could not completely avoid the attack of the strange bird. The mana barrier he had formed was pierced by the strange bird's probing beak.
Fortunately, when he turned over, he bent his elbow and struck back, using the inner armor of his elbow to resist the attack of the strange bird.
However, a small piece of bronze armor on the elbow also shattered.
Amidst the screams of the strange bird, the attack became more and more sharp.
At this time, Pei Yu ran forward close to the ground, using his body skills to continuously change his position, and took out a small bronze shield from his waist, with black bird patterns coiled on the shield.
When the strange bird saw the black bird pattern on the shield, its cry suddenly became sharp, and it struck the black bird shield with one blow.
Amidst the crisp sound, a hole was actually poked out of the shield.
Pei Yu was so frightened that his shield could be broken into pieces.
Fortunately, after the strange bird launched several attacks, its body was becoming illusory and about to dissipate.
At this time, the strange bird flew again, and wisps of light fell from its feathers, sealing off Pei Yu's hiding space.
Unable to avoid it, Pei Yu jumped up, took the initiative to meet him, and punched him hard!
Click!
With the crisp sound of bone cracking, the strange bird dispersed suddenly, but a bloody hole was also poked out of Pei Yu's hand bone.
Moreover, the strange bird's attack contained poison, and a fiery red aura quickly spread into Pei Yu's body along the injured location.
When Pei Yu landed again, he staggered, staggered, and finally sat down on the ground.
In the Moon Worship Tower, Li Ji raised her eyebrows, a little dissatisfied that she could not kill Pei Yu on the spot.
And the old voice of the Demon Clan Great Lord who spoke to him last time sounded from the void:
"I told you before that human beings today are not easy to deal with. The few evil monsters you sent into Xianyang did not plan on Chu Qin and almost led people to the sacred mountain.
Do you know how serious the problem would be if humans found this place?
If the sleeping demon lord is disturbed, both of us will have to re-enter reincarnation!"
Li Ji curled her lips: "I just sent a few little demons to the land of humans to test and observe the reaction of humans. Do you think I really plan to use them to plot against the crown prince of Qin?
Everything is under my control. It is impossible for humans to set foot in the sacred mountain."
The Demon Lord's voice softened: "As long as you know the severity.
The Demon Lord had already made arrangements before he fell asleep... What we need to do is wait for the world to be filled with strife."
"You still have two bad demons under your command in Xianyang. Since their whereabouts have been exposed, remember to deal with them."
The demon king's voice disappeared.
Li Ji, who was wearing a colorful dress, moved the mirror again, and the figures of the Bai sisters appeared in the mirror.
She flicked her fingers, and a force was pushed out through the mirror, activating the arrangement she had left on them before they set off.
In the picture in the mirror, the Bai sisters looked frightened and slowly fell to the ground.
But at this moment, the image of a seal appeared again in the mirror in Li Ji's hand, spreading thousands of rays of light and shattering the image in the mirror.
Li Ji's complexion changed slightly.
Since the Bai sisters were in Xianyang, her peeping from a distance obviously caused fluctuations in the Zhenguo device.
As the mirror's disillusionment faded, Li Ji also lost her accurate sense of whether the Bai sisters were dead or not.

Xianyang.
Near noon, Zhao Huaizhong learned that Pei Yu had been attacked and that he had been brought back.
A middle-aged general wearing black armor under Ye Yufu came forward to report:
"We were ordered to pick up Pei Yu. When we found him, he had fainted and his palm was pierced. The injury was not serious, but an unknown toxin had invaded his body and was difficult to remove."
Zhao Huaizhong walked closer to check and found Pei Yu lying on his back on a wooden couch, his face red and purple, and he had lost consciousness.
Zhao Huaizhong then consumed the last drop of the medicinal liquid he had obtained from Jiang Shu and Mu Yangjing and gave it to Pei Yu.
After dozens of breaths, his injuries gradually stabilized and the abnormalities in his body gradually subsided.
"The liquid medicine left by Shen Nong is really precious. I will have to go to Mu Yangjing and Jiang Shu for a few more drops... It's best to find a way to get the recipe together and see if I can rely on Da Qin's manpower.
Material resources, make more." Zhao Huaizhong pondered.
Mu Qingkong came up and asked, "What should I do if there are two more banshees in the city?"
"Capture them and kill them on the spot if they resist."
Mu Qingkong agreed and went to arrange for the arrest of the Bai sisters.
Last night, Pei Yu followed Su Ran and found the goblin lair of the Bai sisters.
Two quarters of an hour later, Zhao Huaizhong received the news.
When Ye Yufu went to catch the demon, the Bai sisters were dying with only their last breath left.
Zhao Huaizhong came to the room where the two sisters were brought back and found that their expressions were gray and their bodies were dissipating strangely.
When the two of them saw Zhao Huaizhong, they both looked in disbelief.
They recalled what Su Ran said and immediately knew that their plan might have been noticed by the human prince.
"We planted a mark inside you..."
Zhao Huaizhong ignored the two of them.
Last night, after the Black Dragon Dharma absorbed the demonic light that separated the monsters and returned to his body, he felt an abnormality. The power of the Sendai circulated, refining and dissipating the abnormality.
At this moment, the Bai sisters' inquiry made Zhao Huaizhong understand that it was a kind of demonic brand, invisible and qualityless, and it was a way for them to plan against him.
"The demon clan's spells are ever-changing and difficult to guard against." Zhao Huaizhong said calmly.
Before they could ask anything else, the Bai sisters died of anger.
Their bodies transformed and were instantly covered with white down, with a sinister aura, like two wild beasts.
It's a pity that I didn't ask anything, and I couldn't find out the hidden power behind these monsters.
At present, we only know that the power behind them is very powerful. They were able to discover Pei Yu's tracking and severely injure him, which shows that he is not an easy person.
The location of this force may be west of Xianyang?
Zhao Huaizhong recalled the geographical location of Xianyang in his mind. Where is it to the west?
If calculated based on the direction of China, west of Xianyang are Gansu, Qinghai, and Tibet. At this time, most of them were still barren lands.
What’s special about these places—the Kunlun Mountains?
Zhao Huaizhong shook his head and suppressed the thoughts in his mind.
The geography of this world is not completely consistent with the ancient Chinese cognition, so guessing based on thin air is too likely to be wrong.
It takes time to slowly collect relevant clues about how strong and powerful the demon clan is hiding in secret.
The most important thing at the moment is to repair the Zhengguo Canal and lay the foundation for the Qin Dynasty to go eastward.
Time flies, winter passes and spring comes, day after day, another year passes.
Spring comes next year.
At this time, Zhao Huaizhong was eighteen years old.
Qinjing, more than a hundred miles north of Xianyang, to the east, is the Zhengguo Canal that is being excavated.
At this time, Zhao Huaizhong came from Xianyang to inspect the progress of canal opening.
