"You, get over there!"
The ten-foot-long sheep-headed monster spat, stretched out its hooves as thick as the mouth of a bowl, and swept aside the horrified villager in front of him.
There were dozens of villagers, old and young, piled there. Even though the sheep-headed monster still had a hand, they still had broken legs and arms, looking miserable.
But even so, no one dared to make a sound.
The scarlet blood stains remaining on the gray hair at the corner of the sheep-headed monster's mouth, as well as the snow-white bones scattered around it, revealed the fate of the last villager who wailed.
Its hooves and claws were slightly spread, and it held a thin roll of silk in a somewhat laborious posture. Its ferocious and huge head was lowered, looking down at the few remaining villagers in front of it, with a lot of impatience in its expression, " Next, Jiang Su."
Jiang Su raised his head and glanced at the tall sheep-headed monster, walked into the huge shadow cast by it, and said softly: "It's me."
The sheep-headed monster looked down at Jiang Su, as if looking at an animal, and said, "Stretch out your arm and place it on the 'Lingxiu'."
Jiang Su looked at the ordinary stone in front of him, rolled up his coarse sleeves and put his right arm on it.
The cold and cold touch invaded from the wrist, and swept through all the limbs in a moment, making Jiang Su shiver subconsciously.
The next moment, a glimmer of light suddenly filled the air above the "Lingxiu" and reflected in the eyes of the sheep-headed monster.
The sheep-headed monster was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help but show a look of surprise on his face and said: "There is another mortal who can ignite the "fire of life"!"
Seeing this scene, whether it was the villagers with broken legs or arms or the few people left in front of the sheep-headed monster, their eyes were filled with unconcealable envy when they looked at Jiang Su.
Qingqiu Monster Kingdom stretches for millions of miles, and there are countless monsters and mortals in it. However, there is only one creature that can ignite the "fire of life", and it is extremely difficult to find.
The sheep-headed monster stretched out its hooves and claws and pulled Jiang Su behind him. His movements were much softer than before.
But even so, Jiang Su almost stumbled and took several steps before barely regaining his balance.
"Are you okay?"
A delicate white hand stretched out in front of him, as if to support Jiang Su who was about to fall. A timid and soft voice reached his ears. Jiang Su raised his eyes and saw a pale commoner. girl.
Jiang Su took half a step back without leaving a trace, dodged her support, and said, "I'm fine."
Looking up, in addition to the girl in cloth, there is another dirty boy behind the sheep-headed monster who is slightly smaller than her. His clothes are shabby and his face is covered with mud. Even when he sees the girl in cloth talking to Jiang Su, he is also confused. He sat there alone and never spoke.
Apparently, before coming to this village, the sheep-headed monster had already found two mortals who had the opportunity to ignite the "life fire", and Jiang Su was the third one.
The commoner girl retracted her arm at a loss, looked at Jiang Su, and whispered: "My name is Zhao Tong, his name is Zhang Huai, what is your name?"
Jiang Su lowered his eyelids to hide the coldness in his eyes, and a slight smile appeared on his lips, saying: "I call you Jiang Su, and I hope that senior brothers and sisters will take care of you."
Zhao Tong looked a little sad and said: "Even if we enter Qinglu Cave Mansion, we are just slaves and maids, doing the work of medicine boys and alchemists. How can we be called senior brothers and sisters."
Qinglu Cave Mansion is a giant mountain demon mansion on the western edge of Qingqiu Demon Kingdom.
Although the Qingqiu Demon Kingdom stretches for more than a million miles, it is only located in the border corner of Wangxi Mountain and Sea. Only because it is a "demon" country, the status of monsters here is limited within the Demon Kingdom. So high.
Like other monster caves, every ten years, Qinglu Cave will send thousands of little monsters to the territory under its jurisdiction to collect mortals with "life fire" qualifications to fill the cave. There are many vacancies for waiters.
The more advanced the monsters are in their cultivation, the more they yearn for the advanced realm of complete transformation.
It's just that in the Qingqiu Demon Kingdom, except for the Qingqiu Tushan clan, the Bai clan, and the Yousu clan, all the other clans are not qualified to transform. If you want to transform, you can only improve your body. A journey of practice.
After hearing Zhao Tong's words, Zhang Huai, who had a dirty face, suddenly raised his head and said in a hoarse voice: "No matter what, at least we can get the practice method of prolonging life, which is better than being treated like pigs in this village. It’s much better to feed a dog.”
Zhao Tong sighed slightly and fell silent.
Jiang Su's eyes were dark, and he slowly retreated behind Zhao Tong and Zhang Huai, looking up at the hill-like sheep-headed monster in front of him.
Qingqiu decrees that both monsters and mortals are the people of Qingqiu.
Therefore, even if the sheep-headed monster managed to satisfy its appetite by virtue of its position, it only devoured a few disobedient villagers.
Although the saliva in its mouth never stopped, it didn't have the courage to seriously use these villagers to fill its belly.
Mortals within the territory know their own destiny from birth, so the village has always been lifeless, without the slightest breath of life.
Almost all the monsters in Qinglu Cave aspire to be completely transformed, so whether they are living or practicing, they must be served by quick-footed humans, and they have long looked down on those clumsy little monsters.
Just like this sheep-headed monster, although it is tall and powerful, its hooves and claws cannot do very delicate work, and it can only serve as the humblest patrol monster soldier.
What goes up and what follows leads to imitation. Almost all monsters who feel they have some level of cultivation use it to show off by raising humans who have ignited the "fire of life".
Because only by igniting the "fire of life" and practicing a little bit of practice can we resist the influence of evil spirits.
If an ordinary mortal enters the monster cave, he will be filled with the ubiquitous monster energy within a few days and die.
"This time I came down to search, and the harvest was really good!"
The sheep-headed monster turned its huge body sideways, with a look of uncontrollable joy on its ferocious sheep face. Its dull voice almost spread throughout the nearby villages, "The population of the more than ten villages under my jurisdiction is withered, and there are only more than 20,000 people at most." Man, now there are three people who are qualified to ignite the 'fire of life'!"
"Wait for the three of you to climb on my shoulders!"
The sheep-headed monster squatted down slightly and stretched out a hoof claw.
Zhao Tong's eyes were a little timid, as if he was hesitating.
Zhang Huai, who was wearing tattered clothes, walked forward without saying a word, held the sheep-headed monster's hooves and climbed onto its shoulders in a few moments.
Zhao Tong looked pale, gritted his teeth, and climbed up slowly.
The hideous and ugly sheep head was so close, and the smelly saliva dripped from the big mouth, almost causing Zhao Tong to faint.
Jiang Su lowered his eyelids and followed the two of them, climbing onto the sheep-headed monster's shoulders.
Standing at a height of ten feet, the field of vision in front of him suddenly became much wider. Jiang Su held on to its thick horns and looked at the sheep-headed monster under him. There were wisps of frost-white flames looming between his eyes.
"The goat eats spiritual grass and develops spiritual wisdom. After one hundred and eighty years of practice, he transforms into a demon."
Under the insight of the frosty white flame, Jiang Su knew the roots and legs of this sheep-headed monster in just a moment.
It is said that in the vast world, there are living beings who are favored by God and are born with wisdom. They know the magical powers of the heavenly decree at birth.
As for Jiang Su, he has known since he was born that this frost-white flame is called "karma fire" and is an extremely rare fire from heaven.
Even many beings who are born with wisdom do not have such a good fortune to obtain such a rare thing.
The fire of karma can break through illusions, gain insight into the truth, and be independent of cause and effect.
Its appearance in a mortal is something that ordinary beings have never heard of.
"My father's legs were broken and he doesn't know how to live in the future..."
The village behind him gradually faded away, and Zhao Tong sat on the edge of the huge sheep head with a calm expression, sobbing softly.
Zhang Huai glanced at her and said expressionlessly: "You are fifteen or sixteen years old, how can you be inferior to me? Ever since I was born, my mother told me that the only way out is to go to Qinglu Cave to make elixirs." Tong, if you get along well by then, you can take your parents over to live with you, and you don't have to be a person in the village who is worse than an animal."
Jiang Su listened to the two of them quietly, like a bystander, and never spoke from the beginning to the end.
The surrounding green mountain scenery retreated rapidly, and the sheep-headed monster took long strides forward. Every step raised dust on the mountain road and left heavy footprints.
Zhang Huai suddenly turned to look at Jiang Su and said, "Jiang Su, are you from the village just now? I live in a neighboring village. Why don't I have any impression of you?"
When Jiang Su saw him asking questions to him, he smiled and said, "I don't leave home all day long. I live off the vegetable patch and well in the yard. I haven't left the village yet, so naturally you haven't seen me."
While he was talking, the sheep-headed monster suddenly stopped, causing the three people standing or sitting to shake violently, and almost fell from its shoulders.
"Zhao Tong, Zhang Huai, Jiang Su," the sheep-headed monster opened its huge hooves and claws, holding the scroll with some difficulty, looked at it again, and squatted down slightly, "Come down."
Unknowingly, the sheep-headed monster had led them through several mountains and came to a majestic giant mountain.
In front of the foot of the mountain stands a gate with carved beams and painted pillars, on which the words "Qinglu Demon Mansion" are engraved with extremely vigorous brushstrokes.
The gate is about several feet high. Even the tall sheep-headed monster looks like an ordinary mortal under the gate.
Zhao Tong, who was wearing coarse clothes, fell to the ground and looked up at the long mountain road behind the stone tower. Without the huge sheep's head to cover her, she could clearly see the scene behind the stone tower and almost screamed in fear. Come!
There are countless monsters scattered all over the mountain road. A rough count shows that there are at least hundreds or even thousands!
The sheep-headed monster that dominates the village is placed in it, but there is not even a drop of water. The aura of any monster is better than that of the sheep-headed monster. Even the weakest one is as different as the sheep-headed monster. .
Most of the monsters were empty-handed, walking dejectedly toward the giant mountain along the winding and steep mountain road.
Some monsters are accompanied by one or two mortals, with a faint look of joy on their faces.
As for the sheep-headed monster, there are only three people with him, and they can hardly exceed the number of one palm.
Walking in front of the stone tower, the sheep-headed monster bowed down, with a look of compliment on his face, and said in a low voice: "Commander, I found three people in the village under my jurisdiction, so I went up the mountain and sent them to the cave."
The one who was called the leader was a deer-headed monster. It was leaning on the soft couch in front of the gate. It casually glanced at it, and its half-closed eyes immediately widened.
After getting off the soft couch, the deer-headed commander walked up to the sheep-headed monster, patted its waist and abdomen, and said with a smile: "You old goat, you are so blessed this time, it is really enviable. "
