The deep mountain where the Stonefall Gate is located...
The lush green leaves made a rustling sound above the head, and the light and shadow like copper coins fell through the gaps between the trees, swaying in the water after the heavy rain.
Cao Shuda looked at the tail of the imperial soldier who was almost out of sight and said: "Mr. Su, I'll wait...or should I just follow him?"
Seeing Li Xuan's silence, he sighed and said, "I know that sir has been wronged, but if I can repay the favor to the prime minister this time, I will definitely say a few words for him."
Although he didn't know what the use of the demon corpse was, he saw that Mr. Su wanted it, and he also wanted it from the Prime Minister. Why didn't he understand that the demon corpse was an extremely important resource for the Mystical Martial Warrior?
Mr. Su was busy and planned to burn the mountain, but the peach was picked by Liu Yingyi later.
To put it bluntly, if Liu Yingyi is really capable, why didn't you come earlier? Do you have to wait until the mountain is almost completely burned before you rush here? What do you mean?
This is basically a situation where you can directly copy guys and kill them.
Cao Shuda leaned next to Li Xuan again and said softly with a look of shame on his face: "Mountains and rivers are the king's land. Even if you are a prefect, you are not allowed to burn them without permission. This time someone in the city knew about this and made an article about it and came down to accuse me. , and this Mr. Liu Yingyi and Mr. Liu came down to protect me...
Well, whatever I have, if your husband wants it, I will give it to you. But I really can’t afford to offend this prime minister. "
Li Xuan was stunned. Cao Shuda's words made him realize that the court was divided into factions.
The Prime Minister is from one faction, but what about the other faction?
So, with the intention of getting to know him better, he asked: "You are the magistrate of Dayin and a disciple of the Prime Minister. Who can blame you?"
Cao Shuda lowered his voice and said: "He is from the general.
The general is in charge of the frontier army, but the prime minister mostly associates with secret martial artists. "
Li Xuan understood.
Xia uses force to break the ban.
Secret Martial Warriors can be said to have violated the prohibition to the extreme.
The general, who has soldiers in his hands, naturally wants to kill all these unsettled elements.
General Yuan's previous strong hostility towards Mr. Su was only the epitome of this "general's will".
However, now that demons are coveting it, and there are still such factions within the dynasty... Is this really good?
"What about our monarch? Who does the monarch prefer?" Li Xuan asked.
He originally thought that Cao Shuda would shake his head or be vague, but he didn't expect Cao Shuda to say directly: "The monarch prefers the general, but he is surrounded by the prime minister."
Li Xuan sighed, waved his hands and said, "That's all."
At this time, he was very curious about the outcome of Liu Yingyi's encounter with the terrifying demon.
Cao Shuda saluted and said, "Mr. Xie, then... let's go there too."
Li Xuan knew that he was in a dilemma and said, "You can just go on your own, but don't blame me for not reminding you that you need to stand farther away."
Cao Shuda also knew that although he was giving up, he was still angry and would not force it. After all, it was expected that there would be more than two thousand soldiers and a second-level secret martial artist who could deal with a dying demon whose location had been discovered. Not difficult.
But Li Xuan didn't go, but he, the prime minister's protégé, had to go, otherwise Liu Yingyi would report him to the prime minister's ears, which would be of no benefit to his career.
So, Cao Shuda raised his hand again and said: "Sir, please forgive me, then I will go."
After saying that, he hurried away, leaving only Li Xuan standing there.
Li Xuan looked at the deserted mountain road and thought in his heart: 'What kind of monster is that? Could it be some kind of mushroom? And the reason why it needs to eat a thousand people a month is because those people are actually needed to make fertilizer for it?
As for why the soldiers in the southeast and two directions were hit before, could it be because the southeast wind has been blowing in the past few days, and the spores in the mushrooms were flying all over the sky with the wind, and happened to fall on some wild vegetables, or maybe it produced Other reactions?
Those unlucky soldiers were directly attacked, died quietly in their sleep or on duty, and then turned into evil ghosts? '
Thinking of this, there was a surge in his stomach, and he felt nauseous and frightened.
It's a good thing that the demon can't walk, otherwise... whenever it comes outside the city, a gust of demonic wind will blow and the spores will pour into the city. Thinking about the consequences will make people desperate.
After several thoughts passed through his mind, Li Xuan moved and quietly passed by.
If he is with Cao Shuda, then...when the demon appears, he will have to take action, otherwise he will directly offend people openly.
But now, it doesn't matter if he goes secretly.
Soon, Li Xuan came to a nearby old tree and got a good angle to watch.
However, he was afraid of the demon, so he wouldn't get too close.
...
...
After a while, Liu Yingyi and his soldiers arrived.
Li Xuan vaguely saw Liu Yingyi ordering the soldiers to carry the demon body.
Without the blood of demons, even mystical warriors would not be able to feel demons, let alone feel their rank crushing them.
Suddenly, Li Xuan's heart skipped a beat.
The crushing feeling of the superior demon came back again.
He felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, but he looked intently.
Seeing that the soldiers were about to encounter the carbon corpse containing the demon's blood, a red light emerged from under the demon's corpse very suddenly and flickered continuously among the soldiers in front.
The speed was just like a fleeting glimpse of light, and it had passed before his eyes could follow it, outlining a continuous zigzag of rainbow light in the mid-air. There seemed to be red clouds accompanying it, and from Li Xuan's point of view, it looked like a red python.
However... this is just the aura of the demon, but it is definitely not the demon itself!
But he saw the red light jump several times and appeared in front of Liu Yingyi in a moment.
Liu Yingyi is a second-level secret martial artist, but at this moment, he can't even react in front of this red light, let alone resist it. He is no different from an ordinary soldier, and he is completely shocked and frightened.
The red light hit the area around his neck and then turned back. It swept dozens of feet, and then disappeared without a trace. Only the long tail of the vast fire cloud still left a red trail of more than a hundred feet in the air.
Click, click, click!
Until then, the sound of swords being drawn could be heard one after another.
Liu Yingyi and the soldiers finally had time to take out their weapons, but the red light had long gone.
As the red light disappeared, the "feeling of the upper demon crushing the lower demon" that Li Xuan felt also disappeared. Looking at this scene, he had a look of thought in his eyes.
Li Xuan understood.
It turns out that there are two monsters here.
Among them, the "demon from Falling Stone Gate" was indeed burned to death.
But somehow, there is a demon underneath.
This demon is even more powerful than the "Demon from Falling Stone Gate", but I don't know when it came or why it came.
It's said that it covets the blood of demons, but I didn't even see it drinking blood.
Maybe he wants to eat people. There are so many soldiers here. According to the speed of the demon just now, he can easily eat a few of them.
But none.
Why is this?
In the distance, Liu Yingyi and the soldiers who had reacted looked at each other in confusion. They each checked their wounds, only to find that there was nothing except the bite mark of an unknown beast.
Several people did not dare to be careless and hurriedly swallowed the detoxification pills. Liu Yingyi fumbled for a small green bottle from his arms, pulled out the stopper, and poured the ointment into his mouth.
"What was that just now?" You Fubing asked.
But no one could answer because no one saw it.
Only then did Cao Shuda react. He hurriedly ran closer and asked about Liu Yingyi's situation with concern.
Liu Yingyi shook his head and said solemnly: "I will transport the demon body away first."
Then he added: "Prefect Cao understands the righteousness and always keeps the prime minister in mind. I will report today's incident truthfully."
He was talking about Cao Shuda's persuasion to the secret martial artist in Yeluzi.
Cao Shuda said hurriedly: "Thank you very much, Mr. Liu."
Then he added: "As Mr. Liu said, Mr. Su is a second-level cultivator of secret martial arts. If he reaches the third level of cultivation, he can break through and increase his life span by one month. This..."
Before he finished speaking, Liu Yingyi sneered, leaned close to his ear, and whispered: "You lied to him."
"ah?"
Cao Shuda was shocked.
Liu Yingyi added: "Most of Ye Luzi's second cultivation is a coincidence. Who knows what to cultivate in the third secret martial arts?
Even the secret martial system in the hands of the Prime Minister cost countless lives to try out.
Of the three techniques, you must not practice wrong in any of them, only in this way can you achieve a breakthrough. "
Cao Shuda sighed, but continued: "Then Mr. Su..."
Liu Yingyi said impatiently: "He's an old guy, he has no potential, he'll just die.
A few years ago, the prime minister had no one in his hands. Now that the secret martial arts system is complete, it will be the time to flourish.
Since the Prime Minister is in your heart, the Prime Minister will never forget you.
When the time comes, the Prime Minister will send his own people to help you, and you don't need to look for such wild ways to build a team.
Just waste him first. "
Cao Shuda was speechless.
On the other side, the demon corpse was also lifted and installed.
Liu Yingyi asked more than a hundred soldiers to escort him, but instead of returning to the city, he turned directly up the road and headed towards the royal capital.
...
...
After the people dispersed, Li Xuan fell back to where the monster was. When he looked inside, he saw that although there was a corpse of a previously unknown giant beast below the monster, there was also a corpse further down!
The skeletons were piled up, the bones were curled up, and turned into charcoal after being burned by the fire. The limbs were mingled randomly, forming a terrifying but still porous mass, like a nest of something.
However, there is no more demon blood here.
Li Xuan didn't waste any time, changed his appearance and went straight after Liu Yingyi.
'You deserve to die if you dare to rob me of what I worked so hard for! '
