"System, what's going on? Why was I caught?" Yan Baibai woke up the system: "Is this really the case?"
"Host, this is an illusion. The illusion only restores the original scene. The host cannot change what has happened." Although the system was asleep, when it was awakened by Yan Baibai, it immediately accepted what had just happened to Yan Baibai and responded immediately.
"What happened just now?" Yan Baibai was a little confused. What happened to the evil energy that possessed him before?
"Host, you should be aware of how powerful Lu Wuxiu, a half-demon, is." The system explained calmly, "The demonic energy you possessed was formed through a long period of accumulation and nourishment within the mine. After it gained consciousness, it sought to possess the strongest half-demon within the mine..."
"Did it take a fancy to Lu Wuxiu?" Yan Baibai asked.
"Of course, Lu Wuxiu is the strongest half-demon in the world of immortal cultivation," the system said. "This demonic energy has been following Lu Wuxiu for a long time. It was discovered by the perceptive Lian Ji and the old man, so the two of them worked together to set up this trap."
"If the evil energy wants to possess Lu Wuxiu, it needs to take advantage of someone's misfortune. The evil energy rushed forward to seize Lu Wuxiu's body, unlike the host, who rushed forward to save him."
Yan Baibai: "...Please don't be sarcastic, thank you."
When Yan Baibai looked down at Lu Wuxiu again, she found that he was staring at her blankly. Then he looked at the old man holding her and Lian Ji beside the old man. From the confusion in his eyes, Yan Baibai knew that Lu Wuxiu understood that his mother had just treated him as a child.
What made Yan Baibai feel relieved was that Lu Wuxiu was smart enough not to question or cry on the spot. He stood up expressionlessly, without a trace of anger or sadness in his eyes.
What makes Yan Baibai sad is that perhaps Lu Wuxiu's behavior is not entirely due to his maturity and calm personality, but rather that he has become accustomed to being treated like this.
——
Yan Baibai thought that this time would be like living on the Duqing Lotus, and she would need to accompany Lu Wuxiu to grow up, and then leave the mine, but she did not expect that things would have such a big progress on the first day of turning into black fog.
When Yan Baibai was brought to a secret mine, many figures had already gathered in the mine, including half-demons and monks. Judging from the monks' attire, they should be people who have been stationed underground in the mine for a long time.
Yan Baibai saw a familiar half-demon—Brother Long. He was now tightly bound and gagged, and the person guarding him was none other than the henchman who had followed Brother Long before.
In the following conversation, Yan Baibai received a lot of information.
First, the half-demons in the mine did join forces with the monks who were guarding them. The half-demons wanted to go out and see the outside world, while the monks were dissatisfied with their current jobs, but they did not have the background and strength to transfer, so they also wanted to create this chaos.
Second, to create a reasonable chaos, a powerful half-demon and a refined demonic energy were needed. The half-demons in the mines were very weak, and their demonic energy was sucked away by the monks every month. After waiting for a long time, Brother Long, who had just been captured, met the requirements.
Third, they chose this time to launch the attack because the monks sent by the higher-ups had just left, and this was when their vigilance regarding the mines was at its lowest. Furthermore, even if the matter was eventually exposed, the suspicion on both the half-demon and the monks in charge would be greatly reduced, and they would not be punished by the higher-ups.
Late at night, the moon hung high in the center of the sky above the mine, and the moonlight shone straight into the cave through the entrance. On the ground, many half-demons lay, snoring loudly.
The wind blew up from the dark mine not far away, as if it had come alive, and slowly exhaled a breath of foul air.
Click——
The ground trembled slightly, and the unstable rocks on the mine wall fell gently to the ground.
The snoring instantly became much quieter, and many half-demons woke up because of the noise.
After a long time, the snoring in the cave became louder again.
Rumble——
The ground shook violently, and large pieces of rocks fell onto the group of sleeping half-demons.
"ah--"
"what happened!"
"Mother, save me!"
"My child! Child, come here!"
"Is this the earth dragon turning over?"
"Run and hide!"
“Ahhhhh…”
Screams, shouts, and cries rose and fell.
A huge monster with devil horns on its head slowly emerged from the dark mine, just like a child who had crawled into a tree hole that was about the same size as himself. The child was struggling to climb out of the hole, but he didn't pay much attention to the crying of a group of ants inside the hole.
The monster, braving the rock walls on either side, continued to push towards the cave entrance, its hands easily breaking the tunnel that half-demons usually used to snake down. Perhaps sensing its own limited progress, it turned and roared impatiently.
"roar--"
The loud noise forced the half-demons fleeing in the cave to kneel down and cover their ears.
"Run, run to the ground!" The guarding monk arrived late and began to hurriedly organize the miners to escape along the route that was previously prohibited.
When the moon tilted to the west, the few remaining miners came out of the mine. However, before the miners could enjoy the scenery outside, the monster also came out of the mine.
The half-demons began to flee in all directions, and the monks began to attack the monsters frantically.
The monster fell down, and when the monks breathed a sigh of relief, a black ball the size of an egg came out of the monster's mouth.
"What is that?"
A curious monk approached and picked up the black ball out of curiosity. The next moment, the black ball suddenly turned into a pool of black water and attacked the monk, leaving a scratch on his neck. He shook off the ball and used his spiritual power to block the wound, but the wound only healed for a moment before it immediately split open.
