With a loud crash, the Red Demon's massive body collapsed to the ground.
I retrieved the Phoenix Flute and jumped back to the ground. "Luo, all done. Mission accomplished."
“My lord, the Red Demon is not dead yet. I will give him the final blow.” Luo said as he walked towards the Red Demon.
I quickly pulled Luo back, saying, "We have no grudge against him, why should we kill him?"
Luo lowered his head and pondered for a while before nodding and stepping back. "Alright."
I approached the Crimson Demon. Its large eyes were fixed on my every move, and when it saw me approach, its eyes were filled with panic and fear. "I won't kill you," I said softly, and took a drop of the Crimson Demon's blood and dripped it onto the map that You had given me.
Before leaving, Yu had to drip the blood of each enemy he defeated onto this scroll. As soon as the Crimson Demon's bright red blood dripped onto the map, the map emitted a soft light that instantly absorbed the Crimson Demon's blood, leaving not a trace of blood on the map.
I examined the map closely out of curiosity, but after looking at it for a long time, I couldn't figure it out. It was probably just an ordinary map.
"Alright, Feng Su, give this to Chi Gui so he can fall asleep." I took out a pill from my pocket. This time it wasn't a candy, it was a real pill, the effect of which was to make someone fall into a coma.
"Oh." Feng Su took the pill from my hand and ran to the Red Demon's side, putting the pill into the Red Demon's mouth.
"Now that the Crimson Demon is asleep, Feng Su will deactivate the formation, and we'll sneak out quietly." The battle just now was really tiring, so we'd better slip out quickly and find a town along the way to rest properly.
"Okay." Feng Su squatted down next to Chi Gui and watched him take the medicine and fall asleep again before undoing the formation.
The moment the formation was broken, we were on high alert, fearing something might happen outside. After observing for a while, we found that it was exactly the same as when we arrived, so we didn't pay any attention.
"Let's go." I breathed a sigh of relief, but then a high-pitched, childlike voice suddenly came from behind me.
"Sister, wait a minute."
What? I turned around abruptly and found that the Red Demon's huge body was gone. Behind me was a small child, but this child was a bit special. He was red all over and had a horn on his head. However, he was still very cute and lovable, like a New Year's picture doll.
Could this be the Red Demon?
Luo, who was next to me, was the first to step in front of me, looking at the child warily.
"Sister, where are you going? Take me with you."
What? I was instantly shocked. Do all the monsters in this abyss like to follow people around so easily?
Seeing that I didn't speak, the child anxiously explained, "Sister, you defeated me, you're strong. I want to learn from you and then defeat you."
I don't know whether to say that Akaki is naive or really stupid. Who would say that they want to follow someone so that they can defeat them in the future? Isn't that like raising a tiger to cause trouble?
"No, we already have enough people, we can't take you." I explained somewhat awkwardly to the child in front of me, and then whispered to Feng Su, "Feng Su, didn't you give him his medicine just now?"
“I watched him eat it,” Feng Su replied softly.
What the hell is that? Could it be a fake elixir given to me by Laozi? That's outrageous! Laozi even asked for a lot of treasures from my palace. I'm going to return it when I get back.
"Sister, don't blame that brother. I'm resistant to poison, and that level of poison couldn't harm me," the little child said with a smile, her eyes narrowed.
A body resistant to poison? I immediately thought of the place where the Red Demon lived, which was in the Miasma Forest. There was a lot of poison in the Miasma Forest, no wonder.
Should we start another fight? But I really can't bring myself to hit the Red Oni, who looks like such an adorable doll. It feels like child abuse...
