The tiger has a red-scaled head, cold golden pupils, and a small horn on its forehead.
Being stared at by those eyes, the blood in the clam monster's body seemed to freeze, and its body became stiff, with waves of chills spreading throughout its body.
"My Lord, I have never seen you before..."
Could it be that some other clam monster had offended the one in front of him, and he was just implicated after being mistakenly identified?
The clam monster felt a sense of hope.
"Yeah?"
The red dragon's voice was loud and majestic. It swung its tail that was wrapped around the clam monster, making the clam dizzy. At the same time, a picture like a projection appeared in the air.
In the picture, a clam monster is holding an iron fork and chasing a red carp while talking nonsense.
"You don't remember me, but I haven't forgotten you."
"You, you, you...you are! You are the red carp!" The clam monster said in shock, his eyes rolled, and he understood why the red carp turned into a red dragon.
"You've jumped over the dragon gate!"
"What do you mean by family?" The red dragon dispersed the aerial image and asked instead of answering.
“Mercy! Mercy, sir! I was blind and rude, please forgive me for the difficulty of practicing…”
The clam monster was in a panic and could only beg for mercy.
Unexpectedly, the dragon's tail tightened, and the clam shell entangled in it made two "crackling" sounds. It could not withstand the pressure and was about to crack.
"explain."
"Please don't kill me, sir! I will tell you everything you want to ask..." The clam monster was so scared that his nose was running.
"family."
"I said, I said everything, woo woo woo..."
"My family refers to my four wives. There is a village nearby that comes here every year to offer sacrifices. Not only do they offer sacrifices, they also send young women to me... no, to the river god as brides. This year is the fifth year, and there should be five brides in total, but... now there are only four."
Having said that, the clam monster secretly glanced at the red dragon, then quickly turned away.
"I, I feel sorry for them. They are about to be sunk into the river on their paper boats, and then... and then..."
The red dragon lowered his eyes and looked at him coldly. The clam monster was frightened and stopped hesitating. He said quickly: "Just save them all and make them my wives. They are all doing well now and are alive and well in an underwater cave!"
"Humph, you are good at flattering yourself. The river god sacrifice did not exist before and only started five years ago. Why don't you explain the reason?"
The clam monster felt guilty. He lowered his head and shrank into his shell, not saying a word, not daring to say anything else.
"Where are they? Take me there."
"The underwater cave is in that direction..."
The clam monster pointed cautiously.
…
The underwater cave is hidden, and it took the clam monster a lot of effort to find it.
This end of the cave is filled with water, but if you go into the cave, you will find another world inside, a cave with good air circulation and not occupied by water.
Night-shining pearls are inlaid on the stone wall, and a few clusters of corals are deliberately piled up for decoration.
The cave is not very bright, but it is not dark either.
The red dragon threw the clam monster over and smashed it against the stone wall. Then he went ashore and turned into a young man in red.
The clam monster opened its shell and stood up dizzy, wanting to take the opportunity to escape, but could not find a suitable escape route.
"lead the way."
A cold and young voice came from behind.
It was different from the sound made by the red dragon just now.
The clam monster turned around suddenly and saw a handsome young man dressed in redwood standing proudly behind him.
His golden pupils were still as cold and ruthless as ever, his thin lips glowed with a cold light, fine golden lines were imprinted on his forehead, and he was as graceful as a lily and jade.
He was stunned and couldn't help but reach out and touch his face.
The bumpy lines were intertwined and appeared dark purple. On a face like this, no one cared about the facial features.
This is the demon whose transformation is not yet complete.
It's so ugly that even he himself dislikes it.
The clam monster was full of resentment. He led the way with his head down, his eyes red with jealousy.
If he had that appearance, why would the villagers offer him brides, and why would the four ladies still fear and hate him, always regarding him as a ferocious and terrifying monster? Even if he walked around the street, there would be young ladies willing to follow him home.
The cave was dug out to form a corridor, lobby, and several small rooms.
The door of the small room was blocked by a stone door. The clam monster moved it open in front of Luo Zheyu, revealing the inside of the room.
Night-shining pearls are used as lighting tools, and the tables, chairs, beds, wardrobes, and dressing tables, although some of them are worn out and not matched, are still complete.
There was no one in the room, only the quilt on the bed was bulging and shaking slightly.
Luo Zheyu frowned.
"Sir, I have never treated this lady badly, but she is very timid. She dares not even look at me on weekdays. She hides when I come... She came last year. I think if she stays here for a while, she will not be afraid of me anymore."
After he finished speaking, the quilt paused, and the corner of the quilt secretly opened a crack, and the clear black and white eyes looked over here timidly.
…
In the city.
"Haha, the Soul Testing Bottle is reacting again!"
"Bi City is a really good place. It would take ten days or half a month to find a formation person with a full Yin physique in other places, but in Bi City, it only takes three months to find a full set!"
"Of course. Bicheng is a demon city. There are probably not many pure humans here. Plus, most of those who go to the Flame Dragon Jedi are cultivators, which have certain physical requirements. It's not surprising to find quite a few people with full Yin physical constitutions here."
"Alright, alright, I know you know a lot, stop talking nonsense, go catch her quickly and bring her back to the master."
After a moment.
The ground in front of the inn's door suddenly bulged up, and the soil turned outward. A big centipede poked its head out and looked around, looking for the location of the night watchman demon.
It also knew that there had been some disturbances in recent days, and that management in the city had become stricter.
Seeing that the eagle gliding in the air didn't notice this side, the centipede waved its thousand legs and pulled the rest of its body out of the hole.
A man was lying on the centipede. He was short and covered in gray. There was a gleam in his eyes and he had a short beard on his lips.
After crawling out from the ground, the centipede wiped the ground with its tail, and the soil it had just drilled out filled back into the hole, covering it up.
Crawling on its thousand feet, it squeezed into the door of the inn and climbed up to the second floor silently.
…
After running around outside for many days, either sleeping on trees or on the grass, Mi Xin finally lay on the soft and flat bed. Her whole body relaxed and she slept soundly.
The old monkey was lying at the end of the bed, also soundly sleeping.
Squeak...
The door hinges turned with a tiny sound.
The old monkey paused in his long breath and twitched his ears.
Rustle...
It seemed as if many tiny legs were stepping on the ground, and the sound was very small, not even as loud as breathing, and it was very easy to be ignored even at night.
The centipede and the person lying on its back enter the guest room.
The centipede raised its head, looked at the woman lying on the bed, and spewed out a cloud of black mist from its mouth.
The black mist floated up and formed a wisp, moving towards the sleeping woman.
Just as it was about to touch, a layer of golden-red light suddenly burst out from the woman's body, blocking the black fog out.
The centipede paused slightly, and the man lying on it took out a rope with a hook from his waist and threw it at the sleeping woman.
The hook is sharp, the tip is extremely sharp, and there are barbs on it. The shiny black edge has a faint blue glow, as if it were smeared with poison.
“Ding~”
The curved hook hit the golden-red light shield, making a crisp sound. The place where the light shield touched the cutting edge was stained with a layer of dark purple, which quickly spread to the surroundings.
The man on the centipede was about to smile when he saw the golden-red light shield suddenly bounce up and down, and its surface was like surging water waves with ripples.
Crash...
Along with the curved hook, the dark purple venom was poured back into the water.
The light shield is still intact.
“Chichichi!!”
The old monkey woke up completely and jumped onto Mi Xin's face and scratched her head.
Mi Xin woke up with a start. When she opened her eyes, she saw a huge centipede with its head tilted up beside the bed, facing her. Its brown and black back was shiny and smooth, and a short, ugly man was lying on it...
"Ah! Help!"
The screams broke the silence of the night and resounded through the sky.
"She has such a strong demonic aura, is she a demon?" the short man asked doubtfully.
The woman in front of them was protected by a light shield. They couldn't stop her from screaming, but they had something to rely on and were not afraid of attracting others.
However, if she is a demon, there is no need to capture her.
"It's a human, but... he has demonic items on him."
The centipede poked its head out and said affirmatively.
"But the evil aura on her is stronger than yours."
"It means that the demon is much stronger than me. She has the protection of a great demon."
After saying that, the centipede lowered its head, broke through the floor, and crawled down to the first floor.
"Wait! Are you going to let her go?" the short man asked with a sullen face.
"I can't defeat the big demon that's protecting her, and I don't want to provoke him. If you insist on arresting her, we'll go our separate ways."
"The lunar eclipse is approaching, and the master's formation will be activated on that day. We must gather all the members in the formation before then. If you fail to complete the task assigned by the master, you know the consequences!" the short man said sternly.
"…If we are not enough before the deadline, we can come and capture her. By then, our master's mission will be accomplished, and we won't be afraid of trouble from the big monsters." Centipede compromised.
The short man was still dissatisfied. He wanted to capture Mi Xin now to avoid any worries, but it was too late.
Mi Xin's scream not only attracted the guests out of the inn, but also attracted the night watchman.
The centipede and the man relied on nothing more than their many legs to run fast, and they were walking on a dirt road.
"Monster, don't even think about escaping!"
The centipede had just dug a hole in the floor of the first floor and stuck its head into it, scaring the guest sleeping in the room so much that he fainted. Suddenly, a loud shout was heard, followed by two sharp sword energies.
It was Tan Linfei and his senior sister who were staying in the inn and rushed over after hearing the screams.
The centipede did not stop and continued to drill underground. The man on its back held a curved hook in his hand to block the sword energy.
As soon as it got into the hole, the centipede ran away with the short man, and in the blink of an eye, only the tail was left outside.
Tan Lin quickly stepped forward and stabbed the tip of his sword at the centipede's tail, but unexpectedly a ball of black light suddenly spurted out from the centipede's tail and flew straight towards his face.
He had to take two steps back, make some hand gestures, and disperse the black mist, leaving only a large hole about half a meter wide.
Just when he was about to chase after her, he was stopped by his senior sister.
"Stop chasing me. Are you still going to dig a hole?"
I had to give up.
…
Outside the inn.
The centipede planned to return through the tunnel it had dug, which would save it a lot of time. However, just as it got out of the inn, an eagle's claw dropped from the sky. Its sharp claws were deeply embedded in the mud and it grabbed the centipede in the tunnel.
"Damn!" the short man cursed inwardly and threw out his hook to hit the eagle claw.
The claws are poisonous and if they get on your skin, you will be infected by the poison.
The eagle claws seemed to have eyes and withdrew from the tunnel and dodged.
Before the man and the demon in the tunnel could breathe a sigh of relief, the eagle's claws broke through the soil and reached down again.
"Go deeper!"
