Qu Wuming was stunned by the question, and after a moment he hurriedly asked: "Why does Senior Su ask this?"
Patriarch Su Qing replied: "Did you know that not long ago, King Ao Sheng had ordered all the great monsters above the Venerable level in Molongtan to be dispatched to hunt down a human man with a spiritual pet of a strange beast?"
As he spoke, Patriarch Su Qing glanced at Qu Wushe briefly, and then continued: "And, not only that, the image of this man wearing the Wuwu Hiding Robe has been transmitted to all the Holy King territories in the North at the same time, asking them to Help kill this person."
"..." When Qu Wuming heard this, he thought that King Ao Sheng was too petty. It was just that Qu Wushe stuffed his token into the monster's butt... It was just a joke...
"Although my Fox clan was not directly notified, with our clan's ability to obtain information... I still took a careful look at the image wearing the Wuwu hiding robe." Clan leader Su Qing said with a slight smile, "I don't know, Daoist friend Qu. Do you have any guesses about the identity of this human race?"
"..." Qu Wuming and Qu Wushe looked at each other, and both saw the helplessness in the other's eyes. After a moment, they had no choice but to spread their hands, and admitted with a helpless smile: "To be honest with Senior Su, that person is indeed me."
"Haha, let me tell you, I just received the news of the hunt from King Ao Sheng, and not long after I met Daoist Qu here. If it is just a coincidence, it would be too far-fetched." Patriarch Su Qing He smiled and said, "It's just that it would be difficult for you to have any encounter with King Ao Sheng. How could you offend him so badly? He even promised a heavy reward and asked all the great demons in the north to hunt you down?"
"Well..." Qu Wuming scratched his head in embarrassment, "It can only be said to be a coincidence. In order to hurry up, I chose to cross the Huanyanze, but I didn't expect that Ao Shengwang seemed to be in a place called Wangyue Island. He was planning something important in the place and had laid heavy defenses in the nearby area. By chance, I broke into the place where his junior, a black ink dragon, was guarding, and accidentally captured him alive... Later..."
General Qu Wuming briefly told the story of his previous encounter with King Ao Sheng. When he told how Qu Wushe had deceived King Ao Sheng by pretending, it made Patriarch Su Qing smile. When he finally got to the point where he stuffed King Ao Sheng's "moon" command into the water demon's ass and then ran away, he made Patriarch Su Qing laugh so hard that it took him a long time to catch his breath.
"Haha... I didn't expect that Fellow Daoist Qu and your clone would be so talented. They could actually make that old miser so miserable. They are the first people in ten thousand years, haha..." Patriarch Su Qing said with a smile.
"Hey...it's a pity that in this way, I have offended him miserably." Qu Wuming said helplessly, "I'm afraid I have to think carefully about coming to the Northland again in the future."
"Actually, it's okay." Seeing the sad look on Qu Wuming's face, Patriarch Su Qing hurriedly spoke to comfort him, "Although Saint King Ao has good strength and can be regarded as an elder among the Saint Kings in the North, his demon quality is too poor. , even if he promises a heavy reward, other holy kings may not pursue you according to his wishes - after all, the old guy is very stingy, and it is hard to say whether he will be able to get what he promised by then. .”
"So, doesn't it mean that the next journey is not as difficult as imagined?" Qu Wuming breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
"It may not be possible." Patriarch Su Qing said, "In the battle outside the snowy city in Northern Xinjiang not long ago, Daoist Qu, your clone, and the woman in white with you, it seems that He killed many great demons, and even the sages of the Wolf Clan and the Tushan Ape Clan, right?"
Qu Wuming couldn't help but feel his heart sink, and nodded: "It is true."
"Once your image, especially the image of your clone, comes out, those Holy King territories where you have killed people may not be able to sit still." Chief Su Qing said, "At least I already know that the wolf clan's The Moon-Swallowing Saint King has already sent out all his masters, just waiting for you to appear in the territory of the wolf clan."
"This..." Qu Wuming couldn't help scratching his head secretly after hearing this - after passing through the Dark Demonic Forest, the next stop is the territory of the Moon-Swallowing Holy King Wolf Clan. Unless he turns around now, he will definitely not be able to get around.
Seeing that Qu Wuming was really worried this time, Patriarch Su Qing smiled and said: "Young Daoist Qu is the benefactor of my Meihu clan, and he saved my younger brother from the demon soul. Why don't you want to ask me for help?" Can I give you some ideas?"
Qu Wuming answered truthfully: "As a human being, I have long heard about the poor reputation of Holy King Ao Yue among the demon clan in the North. I did not go to the ancestral land of the Fox clan this time because I did not want to worry about Holy King Ao Yue. It will bring unnecessary trouble to the Fox clan. If I ask you to help me, I am afraid that if Holy King Ao Yue finds out in the future..."
Patriarch Su Qing seemed to be very satisfied with Qu Wuming's answer, and said with a slight smile: "It's rare for you, Daoist friend Qu, to be so thoughtful. It's really a blessing for our Meihu clan to have a friend like you."
"Senior Su is overly praised! Qu is so ashamed of himself!" Qu Wuming said hurriedly.
"Don't talk about it if you don't deserve it." Patriarch Su Qing looked deeply into Qu Wuming's eyes and said, "If I have a way to safely send you to the coast of the North Sea, as long as you don't tell me, I won't tell you. No one will know that the Meihu clan helped you, so will you still be worried?"
"Oh?" Qu Wuming's eyes lit up and he asked hurriedly, "Could it be that Senior Su really has a way?"
"Haha, since I told you, it's true."
"In that case, this junior should really thank Senior Su!" Qu Wuming hurriedly bowed and saluted.
"Fellow Daoist Qu, you don't have to be so polite in the future. You are the benefactor of the Meihu Clan and a good friend of my junior Su Lian'er. There is no need for you to be so alienated from me both in public and private matters." Patriarch Su Qing personally supported Qu Wuming. He stood up, smiled slightly and said, "As for the method I told you, remember it..."
As he said that, Patriarch Su Qing raised his slender hand and stretched out a finger to lightly tap Qu Wuming's eyebrows. A message had already been transmitted into Qu Wuming's sea of consciousness.
"You take this token, and you can use it to open the formation." Patriarch Su Qing took out another gray jade token that looked very ordinary and put it in Qu Wuming's hand.
"Thank you, Senior Su!" Qu Wuming quickly checked the message and felt that the problems that were troubling him on the road ahead seemed to have been solved, so he smiled happily and thanked him again.
"I told you, there's no need to be so open-minded." Patriarch Su Qing helped Qu Wuming up and pretended to be angry.
"After this incident has passed and this junior returns from the underworld, he will make a special trip to the ancestral land of the Meihu Clan to visit his senior."
"Yes." Patriarch Su Qing nodded, and suddenly said with a little anxiety in his eyes, "By the way, do you know that Su Lang..."
"Senior Su, please don't worry!" Qu Wuming nodded and said, "Before he showed up, I checked his condition carefully. Although his body and consciousness were seriously injured, his mind seemed to have been severely damaged, and he might not be able to wake up for a while. However, Senior Su Lang's nine divided souls are still intact. I believe that as long as given time, he can gradually recover through the technique of divided souls and feeding back. Moreover, my sixth-grade pure lotus platform is something that a powerful monk has been practicing for thousands of years. , even though it didn’t last long, all the remaining demonic energy in his body has been eliminated, and there is no longer any risk of demonization.”
"That's good!" Patriarch Su Qing finally breathed a sigh of relief, "I can see that the split soul is fine, but when it comes to dealing with demonic energy, your human race's Buddhist techniques are the best. Since you said so, I I feel relieved.”
After saying that, Patriarch Su Qing looked up at the stars in the sky, silently calculating in his mind, and then said to Qu Wuming: "At this time, the demonic energy is strong in the depths of the Black Demonic Forest, and even I dare not go deeper into it easily. There are too many. For the sake of safety, you might as well find a place to hide and wait until daybreak before moving on, then you will be safe."
"Thank you, Senior Su, for reminding me. If that's the case, I'll find a place to hide for the night."
"Well, if it weren't for special circumstances, I would definitely take you back to the clan for a rest. Today, it seems that I can only force you to rest alone in the forest." Patriarch Su Qing said a little apologetically...
After the two exchanged a few words, Patriarch Su Qing introduced the dangerous places in the Dark Demonic Forest to Qu Wuming, and then turned and left. When only Qu Wuming and Qu Wuming were left in the forest, Qu Wuming thought for a moment, then suddenly took out the Wutu Orb and offered it to his head, then pulled Qu Wushe and the two of them, and with a swish, they dived into the ground and sneaked away. stand up.
The dark magic forest will emit demonic energy on the new moon day, and some monsters will suddenly appear in the forest and wander around.
And every year when the underworld appears, the number of powerful monsters that appear on the last new moon before the underworld will increase exponentially.
Although Patriarch Su Qing roughly pointed out to Qu Wuming a few nearby places where powerful monsters are most likely to appear, Qu Wuming wanted to completely avoid encountering monsters, and at the same time, he also wanted to prevent anyone from finding a way to fight based on the previous fluctuations in mana like Patriarch Su Qing did. location, and finally chose the seemingly most secret and safe path - going underground.
If it was as Qu Wuming thought, although the dark forest above his head was still filled with evil energy, the ground was quiet.
Especially when Qu Wuming used the power of the Wutu Orb to lower the Earth Escape to the ground where it was extremely difficult for tree roots to reach, the surroundings became very quiet and monotonous.
Outside the light shield condensed by the Wutu Orb, it seemed that only the dim earth and rocks were left far behind the three people under the illumination of the escape light...
"Boss, this is a good idea!" Qu Wushe couldn't help but say from the side, "You can't sense any demonic energy underground! It's very safe!"
"This is also a helpless move..." Qu Wuming looked up at the top of his head. Naturally, he could see nothing except the earth and rocks underground. "Although it is safe, there is no way to obtain more Demonic Essence Pills and The demonic energy is gone. It seems that the plan to refine the Demonic Appearance of Great Joy can only be discussed in the future."
However, before Qu Wuming could finish his words, the scene outside the Wu Tu Bead's light-condensing shield suddenly changed drastically. The originally dark and yellow earth and rocks suddenly turned into pitch black!
The Wutu Orb, which could only move forward rapidly in the earth and rocks, suddenly stopped as if it had stepped on the brakes. Unexpectedly, Qu Wushe, who was standing next to Qu Wuming, snapped against the light shield condensed by the Orb. on the inner wall. Qu Siqiu, who was behind him, bumped directly into Qu Wuming's back.
Qu Wuming suddenly felt that there seemed to be two soft masses pressing on his back. It seemed... quite comfortable...
