The area Yi Liuling was currently in was a forest rather than a bamboo forest, but when he looked in the direction pointed by Granny Zhu, he found a length of bamboo hanging down from nowhere.
The reason why it is said to be hanging down rather than growing is because the bamboo did indeed fall down from high altitude, and the end has disappeared into the clouds. I don't know whether it grew upside down or was deliberately fixed at the top of the secret realm.
Unlike Yi Liuling who subconsciously looked up to the sky, Yun Cai stared directly at the guy suspended in mid-air.
This man is Joseph who disappeared before, but except that his head is still intact, he has no human appearance.
This is not to say that Granny Zhu was very ruthless, but that this guy was inhuman in a literal sense: what was revealed from his neck down was a body as black as graphite, but it was not in the shape of a human body, but instead It's a bit like the arms of an octopus, but there are more, and the length from the neck to the end is about two meters.
Overall, it looked like a dirty version of Sunny Day Doll, especially since the rope tied to the tip of the bamboo was still around Joseph's neck, but if his body structure was different, he probably wouldn't have been hanged like that.
"Is this a substitute demon?" Yi Liuling was shocked, "So Joseph is not a murderer, but a real demon?"
"What kind of demon is the murderer? Why haven't I heard of this kind of demon? Besides, it is true that he is a demon, but the term "real demon" cannot be used casually. It must be rigorous." Granny Zhu corrected her while raising her hand. He brought Yun Cai back, who was about to pounce on him and question him, "This guy is still alive. Be careful if he catches you and threatens me as a hostage."
"Do you care about the hostages?" A mocking voice sounded, and Joseph's originally drooped head lifted.
Probably for the sake of easier identification, Granny Zhu deliberately did not slap her face when she started, so the face that was already familiar to Yi Liuling was intact, but Qiao Se's expression had become unfamiliar.
"I don't care," Granny Zhu raised her hand again, holding down the agitated Yun Cai, "I don't like anyone messing with my place. If you can't calm down again, I'm going to ask you out."
Hearing this, Yun Cai finally calmed down. She took a deep breath and looked at Joseph: "I don't know what you are. I just want to ask where my sister is?"
"Your sister, oh, Yunduo, right?" Joseph showed a playful smile, and then looked at Yi Liuling, "It's really strange, didn't I send her back? Why did you ask me for it instead of him? ?”
Hearing Qiao Se's words, Yun Cai immediately glanced at Yi Liuling. Seeing that the latter seemed to have some understanding, he immediately showed a vigilant look: "What did he mean?"
She didn't immediately feel that Yi Liuling was also a traitor, but after all, the latter had been traveling with Qiao Se before, so it was difficult for Yun Cai not to be suspicious.
"That's what he might be referring to." Yun Cai didn't understand, but Yi Liuling thought of the painting that Joseph had given him before, so she took it out, pulled off the string, unfolded the scroll and spread it on Yun Cai's body. forward.
It was also a back view, but it was not the one Yi Liuling had seen before, but that of another girl.
"Xiao Duo?" Unlike Yi Liuling, Yun Cai instantly recognized that it was Yun Duo's back. She raised her hand and touched it, her face changed, "It's Xiao Duo!"
"It turns out that the figure on the back is Yun..." Before Yi Liuling could understand why Yun Cai said it twice, she saw that she seemed to have lost her mind, shouting "I'll kill you!" and pointed directly at her. Then Joseph rushed over, quickly stretched out his hand to stop and shouted, "Be careful!"
The current appearance of Joseph is that of a notorious low-level demon called the Substitute Demon. It is very similar to the previous soul-stealing demons, and they are both types that can possess and control other races. However, unlike the latter, which directly devours souls and has the ability to transform the body, the Substitute Demon only has the ability to replace the head and take over the body, so it cannot attack creatures without a clear head.
In addition, the Stand Demon does not have much combat effectiveness. Even ordinary people who do not have contracted life items can kill it with weapons after a little training. Therefore, the Substitute Demon was almost ready to join the Demon Sucking Demon, the Demonic Maggot and the Demonic Firefly to form the four major demon-killing alliances.
However, this seemingly weak stand-in demon has a characteristic that is very similar to that of a human magician, that is, its own magic power is the characteristicless magic power of the demon race, so it can receive and store the magic power of other demon races. And its "head" is like a cockpit, which can accommodate the consciousness of other demons. Therefore, the combination of these two points makes them very popular candidates for incarnations of higher demons, so they are very popular among demons. Even a group that is deliberately sheltered.
Of course, Yi Liuling would not think that Joseph was some wild stand-in demon. None of these things could just come out for a leisurely walk - in order to accommodate consciousness, the original consciousness must be cleared first, and there will be wear and tear over time, which requires replace. Therefore, although the substitute demons are highly valued, their individual demon feelings are not cared about at all. They are just kept as livestock and sold to demons in need after they reach adulthood.
Since Joseph is actually a clone of a high-level demon, don't worry about him wilting now. Once Yun Cai pounces, he will be captured by the latter immediately. In fact, Yi Liuling suspected that Joseph was deliberately irritating Yun Cai, so she warned him.
But Granny Zhu moved faster. She didn't grab Yuncai again this time. Instead, she picked up the tea cup that originally belonged to Qiao Se on the table and poured out the cold tea inside.
The tea spilled onto Joseph's face faster than the clouds. The latter vaporized before he even had time to scream, leaving only an empty rope loop. However, due to the inertia of the previous actions, the clouds still pounced forward, and the rope loop seemed to be alive, directly wrapped around her arm, and took her and the bamboo to fly to the sky.
"Wait, was that bamboo broken?" Yi Liuling exclaimed as she watched the clouds disappear into the sky like a villain in some cartoons.
After experiencing this incident, Yi Liuling discovered that the bamboo did not hang from the sky as he thought, but grew somewhere, and was bent by Granny Zhu using some unknown method. The tip just hung down. This position can be used to hang Joseph.
However, because Joseph was dissolved in tea by his mother-in-law, the bamboo tip naturally bounced back without the restriction of a heavy object.
Yi Liuling was not worried that the clouds had really turned into clouds, because he had just clearly seen the movement of the rope loop, which showed that the clouds were not accidentally carried away, but were controlled by someone.
Granny Zhu had said before that if Yuncai made trouble again, she would be invited out. Now it seems that she is true to her word, but the method of inviting her may be slightly different.
