Bai Xi's breath hitched as a wave of heat washed over her, but it couldn't suppress the astonishment in her heart. If this was the 'Demon Cocoon' of the primordial demon, then Safa...
The female succubus was a beat slower than Bai Xi, but she still showed a look of surprise when she saw the huge cocoon.
"Yes, this is where the primordial demon fell."
She directly confirmed Bai Xi's guess. Only El stood beside her, showing a disgusted expression, seemingly disliking this place and the cocoon. He could feel an aura that, although not yet dissipated, was still very unpleasant.
Leaving aside angels, even elemental spirits don't have much affection for demons.
"Wait, let me go take a look first."
After a moment's hesitation, Bai Xi made up her mind: if it really was related to Safa...
As she thought this, she approached the 'Demon Cocoon', but in the next second, a sharp gust of wind suddenly flashed behind her. Bai Xi's expression turned cold, and she turned around, emitting a light blade that pinned the 'unknown creature' that was trying to attack her to the wall.
When she turned around, she saw that the female succubus had been pierced through the chest and was hanging on the wall by a blade of light.
Bai Xi's expression remained unchanged. This kind of situation was all too common. She was prepared for the leader to turn against the companion in order to pocket the benefits. However, although this guy's body was pierced, the strange and crazy smile on his lips looked very strange and gave off a dangerous feeling.
"I didn't expect the gods on earth to be so easily fooled. Well then, I'll gladly accept the power of this primordial demon."
As she spoke, her body began to melt, like a pool of fiery red liquid, bypassing Bai Xi's light blade and sliding down the wall. At the same time, the dark purple demon cocoon behind Bai Xi began to flicker wildly, and its colors became increasingly dim, as if the power inside was being stripped away.
Bai Xi's expression immediately turned dark. She never expected that there would be a devil who would dare to scheme against her.
This thing isn't a succubus; it's some other type of demon.
If nothing unexpected happens, judging from her color and condition, she should be a Blood Demon, a type of demon that feeds on the despair and blood of death and slaughter, and is very similar to vampires. However, they are not afraid of sunlight, but cannot leave hell and can only wait for an unlucky human to contract with them.
Demons are a type of race that is extremely rare, and their greatest ability is disguise and imitation.
Bai Xi took a deep breath. It seemed that they had been targeted by this guy the moment they stepped into hell, and even their capture was probably within the Blood Demon's prediction.
The feeling of being tricked was extremely unpleasant. Without much hesitation, Bai Xi set the entire cave ablaze with a magical ring of fire, covering the very bottom of the 'Demon Eye' and scorching the 'Demon Cocoon' within it.
However, Bai Xi didn't care at all. Anyway, this guy could withstand the burning of hellfire, so this little bit of flame should be nothing to him.
But the blood demons are different. They are not threatened by the fires of hell, which explains why she dared to come down with her. However, they are terrified of the flames that belong to humans above hell.
Just like now, the pool of blood formed by the Blood Demon began to boil under the scorching flames, wisps of steam rising into the air, and her shrill howls and constant pleas for mercy could still be heard.
"No!! My God, I was wrong! Please forgive me! Please forgive me!"
Her confidence stemmed from the resonance of power between demons. She believed that obtaining even a small portion of the original demon's power would be enough to resist Bai Xi and El. However, she did not consider that Bai Xi was proficient in all types of magic.
Throughout history, she was the first person to possess any magic.
"Let you go?"
Bai Xi sneered. Originally, she had really considered taking this guy to the depths of hell. After all, if he was a succubus, the threat would be limited, but if he was a blood demon, that would be a different story.
This demon is bloodthirsty and ruthless. If you give her a chance, she won't cause disaster for living beings.
Just then, she turned her back on him, and Bai Xi no longer had to keep her promise.
And so, the blood demon watched helplessly as it was burned to death.
After Bai Xi finished doing all this, she remembered that there was El beside her. She turned her head to look at him and found that El was just quietly watching her. When he received her gaze, he even smiled at her with the corners of his mouth. It was very healing, and he even seemed to be in a good mood.
Anyway, it was just killing a demon, nothing important.
Bai Xi awkwardly withdrew her gaze, finally calming down and having the opportunity to carefully examine the demon cocoon in front of her. Actually, she was a little scared, afraid that a Safa might emerge from inside.
However, the thought that Safa was born to Philomona calmed her down once again.
Bai Xi leaned down and, through the crack in the demon's cocoon, she... saw a dark purple eye.
In an instant, her mind went blank, and she instinctively tried to back away, but suddenly lost consciousness.
Her body went limp and she almost fell to the ground, but El reacted quickly and flew to her side, catching her in his arms.
Bai Xi closed her eyes peacefully, as if she were asleep, leaning against his chest. Her breathing was normal, and there was no sign of being cursed or ambushed. The blood demon from before could not have posed any threat to Bai Xi.
"Bai Xi? Bai Xi? Wake up, what's wrong with you?"
His expression was full of anxiety, but since he didn't know what had happened, he could only pace around anxiously. He trusted Bai Xi's strength, so he didn't keep a watchful eye on her. He never expected that Bai Xi would be knocked unconscious by a seemingly empty 'demon eye'.
El called for a long time, but Bai Xi didn't respond. Fortunately, Bai Xi's aura remained normal, showing no signs of change.
He was helpless; it seemed he could only look for the cause in the Demon Cocoon.
El stood up and, like Bai Xi, lay down on the demon cocoon to look inside.
The Demon Cocoon is quite special; its interior is generally impossible to probe with magic, let alone the Cocoon of a Primordial Demon, which can only be probed using the most primitive methods.
Then El saw it...
He saw nothing; it was completely empty.
El took two steps back, puzzled. He looked at Bai Xi, then at the Demon Cocoon, and felt like his CPU had overheated.
There's nothing in here, how could Bai Xi...?
It can't be that she was faking it.
After waiting for a long time, El still couldn't wake up Baixi, so he could only sit down next to the Demon Cocoon in frustration, hugging Baixi with a face full of trouble.
"Hey, I quite like you. We've only been lovers for a short time. My feathers are all singed. If you don't wake up, you won't be able to see me anymore."
He muttered complaints in Bai Xi's ear, but his tone betrayed his worry.
