Along the way, Li Xiaoxiao encountered many strange villagers who kept bothering her, which made her extremely irritable.
The original plan for Yanshui County was to arrive in four days, but because of the villagers' commotion, it was delayed until the sixth day. When Li Xiaoxiao arrived, she was extremely surprised. The number of locusts was terrifying. It felt like the entire sky was filled with them, and they were still heading towards the village.
The villagers who lived nearby have already moved away. This place is eerie and terrifying, and no one knows what caused such a large number of locusts.
With her current abilities, it would be difficult to solve, but since she possesses fire-based spiritual power, it would be necessary to control the continued migration of these locusts.
Standing before these locusts, Li Xiaoxiao unleashed her full spiritual power once more, which attacked the locusts with terrifying force, threatening to burn the entire forest to ashes.
The locusts united and rushed towards Li Xiaoxiao's firelight as if they were not afraid of death, swarming towards her. The air was filled with a buzzing sound, which was extremely noisy. Li Xiaoxiao was furious and had no choice but to increase the spiritual power she had put into her body. Originally, she wanted to use ordinary methods to eliminate these locusts.
"Go to hell, all of you."
Li Xiaoxiao roared, unleashing her full spiritual power. She didn't know where this spiritual power in her body came from, but it was so powerful that it made her uneasy all day long.
As the spiritual energy output intensified, the locusts were burned and destroyed in the flames under the attack of the fire spirit. In a daze, Li Xiaoxiao seemed to hear some strange sounds.
These locusts seemed to be crying in despair, as if saying, "Let us go, help!"
"I don't want to die, I don't want to die."
"Ouch, that hurts!"
The locusts, gathered together, seemed to transform into distorted, pained human faces, constantly wailing.
Li Xiaoxiao was releasing her spiritual power, but at this moment she was also a little dazed and began to doubt for the first time what these locusts were.
Despite her doubts, Li Xiaoxiao still tried her best to kill the locusts. Not far away, Zhang Sheng stood on a tree, happily watching this scene. He held paper and pen in his hand, and the paper was the latest paper produced by Li Xiaoxiao.
"Little one, not bad at all. You truly deserve to be chosen by the master. Continue. I want to watch you, watch you fall step by step, watch this world be destroyed, and let everyone die."
As Zhang Sheng spoke, he laughed, as if he were witnessing a magnificent and wonderful scene.
But then, Zhang Sheng suddenly felt something was wrong. Someone was coming. He suppressed all his emotions and instantly disappeared from the spot. A moment later, a group of ghosts passed by. The leader was Ghost Chief. He felt something was wrong and looked around, but he couldn't detect any aura. He didn't pay much attention and continued walking towards Li Xiaoxiao.
Their mission today is to recognize Li Xiaoxiao as the holy maiden of their clan. Now that the holy maiden is in trouble, it is the time for them to come to her rescue.
A large group of people headed towards that place. Li Xiaoxiao was in the middle of a battle when she inexplicably felt a surge of magic. She was puzzled; could there be other magical beasts? This was getting serious.
Several hundred members of the Ghost Clan walked over and were somewhat surprised to see the swarm of locusts. "Aren't these Ghost Insects from the Ghost Realm? They're expensive food, yet the Holy Maiden burned them alive?"
The group panicked and rushed forward, kneeling directly in front of Li Xiaoxiao. "Holy Maiden, you mustn't! Don't keep burning it! This forest can't withstand this kind of destruction. Leave the matter of the ghost insects to us."
Li Xiaoxiao didn't hear clearly at first, but stopped immediately when she heard that they had resolved the issue. What was going on with these dozen or so demons? Could they have suddenly become kind-hearted?
As described in the original book, the demon race did indeed make significant contributions to eliminating Ye Linghua, and even later in the book, the demon race held a respectable position in the human realm.
When Li Xiaoxiao stopped, they were even more heartbroken. It was such a waste that such a precious thing was burned alive by the Holy Maiden.
As soon as he stopped, the demons took out a bag from their hands. The bag seemed to connect to another space. The demons used their spiritual power to collect the locusts one by one into the bag. The more they searched, the fewer there were. The locusts that had clearly filled the sky began to decrease little by little, until there were very few left. The demons carefully checked every corner, not wanting to miss a single one.
Gui Kui was the first to kneel before Li Xiaoxiao, "Holy Maiden, come back to the Demon Clan with us. The future of the Demon Clan needs you."
This time, Li Xiaoxiao truly understood. What kind of witch was she? What did that mean? Impossible! There was no such plot in the original book, and it didn't even mention that the demon race had the position of saintess. This world was completely out of control.
"What saintess? I am not your saintess."
These demons must be trying to scam me.
Seeing that Li Xiaoxiao did not believe him, the kneeling man continued, "Holy Maiden, if you do not believe us, I can verify it in one way."
After saying that, Gui Kui raised his head, got up from the ground, and stood straight in front of Li Xiaoxiao, his eyes gradually turning red.
Li Xiaoxiao felt extremely uncomfortable. This feeling was one of being offended. This person was challenging her authority, showing great disrespect. She felt as if the blood in her body was flowing wildly, and even her pupils seemed to be filled with something strange.
As she knelt down, a single sentence came to mind.
The demon king immediately knelt down, and all the demons around him also knelt down. The leaves rustled loudly in the wind, and the demons all lowered their heads and remained silent. At this moment, silence spoke louder than words. Li Xiaoxiao was frightened by the scene in front of her. Why could she command the demons? Wasn't she from another world?
Gui Kui and all the demons shouted in unison, "Holy Maiden above, we will be loyal to you to the death!"
"The saint is noble, and we will defend everything about her with our lives."
Under the weight of these words, Li Xiaoxiao was still frantically trying to organize her thoughts. The situation in this world was far more complicated than the apocalypse.
Li Xiaoxiao finally managed to squeeze out a bit of memory: in her previous life, the locusts were the mess that the female protagonist Wu Shiyao and a few demons had to clean up.
The reason the female protagonist was able to hire people from the demon race was simply because she had saved the life of the demon demon.
One thing is particularly important: if the source of this ability is not her, but rather something that was originally within her body, then how was the original owner of this body killed by Qi Yu in the original book?
Gui Kui knelt on the ground, at a loss. It was originally Gui Xiao's idea, and he was also going to put on a show and then trick Li Xiao into thinking that the Holy Maiden had completed the mission. But the moment he knelt down, he really felt the instinctive pressure that commanded him to kneel down. This feeling was something only a Demon King could have.
Li Xiaoxiao is truly a saint.
