Chapter 18 The Title of the Flame Demon King
The fog rose from the ground layer by layer, blurring the world where there was only black, gray and white at the other end of the archway, and some towering cubes in the distance loomed.
Just as Xia Qiu and others hesitated whether they should march towards those cubes, a group of blue butterflies suddenly flew from the fog. In this colorless world, they were obviously too dazzling to fly in the shape of cyinth flowers. They hovered in front of the three teenagers, not only flapping the blue wings like peacock feathers shining with strange light, but also beautiful and eye-catching.
"Are you trying to lead the way for us?" Xia Qiu looked up at the group of butterflies and asked.
The butterfly seemed to understand her words and flew up and down as if nodding.
"Otherwise, let's follow them!" Xia Qiu recognized it and proposed to Ouyang Xiao Leng and Qian Qi beside him.
As soon as the group of blue butterflies saw Xia Qiu, they decided to follow themselves and began to fly forward, sometimes moving forward, sometimes turning, and sometimes surrounding them. From time to time, crystal powdery objects fell on their wings, forming a spotted light in the air, adding to this dead world. It's a little funny.
Under the guidance of butterflies, they are getting closer and closer to those huge cubes, and the sound of mechanical rotation in the air and all kinds of sad screams have become clearer and clearer, and each sound seems to penetrate into the depths of the soul. When they came to the cube, they found that they were actually cages that were constantly changing like a Rubik's cube. In each cage, there were many tortured and inhuman undeads. The sins they committed during their lives were attached to themselves day and night, with ten times, a hundred times or even a thousand times of suffering. Repayment.
Xia Qiu almost didn't dare to look at the Rubik's Cube cages that kept turning on both sides. Most of the undead in those cages were full of holes, with ferocious expressions, trying to extend their hands from the iron cage. Not far away came a group of handcuffed people, staggering, and they were driven into a square cage by two skeletons in black cloaks waving iron whips in their hands.
The two skeletons in black suddenly looked in the direction of the three teenagers. When they looked at each other, the red flame in the skull's eyes jumped a few times. The three teenagers held their breath at the same time, did not dare to act rashly, and waited for the danger that might come. At this time, the group of blue butterflies flew over. After being surrounded by butterflies for a while, the skeleton man quickly left in the other direction.
The blue butterflies began to lead the way for the three teenagers. They were taken to a wide river, which was a dead silence and sticky black **. They did not move but seemed to contain a dark power that would absorb the soul at any time.
They walked along the river bank and soon showed several black spires in the smoky distance. When I walked to the front, I found that it was a twisted building. The so-called distortion is because it is composed of two completely unrelevant buildings, half like a medieval castle in Europe and the other half like an ancient Chinese palace. They seemed to be strangely colliding with some mysterious force, but they were unexpectedly tightly stitched together.
"This is not the Flame Magic Palace, is it?" Qianqi looked up and down at the abrupt building in front of him, showing a surprised expression.
"I don't know, but since I'm here, I have to go in and have a look!" Ouyang Xiao Leng also felt uncomfortable with the building.
Xia Qiu did not pay attention to their conversation, but was attracted by the huge clock above his head. The clock was on the side of the European castle, and the hour hand rotated quickly on it, making a ticking sound, which made her feel that the castle was alive and could open her eyes at any time.
The gate of this yin and yang-faced building is just at the connection between the castle and the palace. The sculpture standing outside the gate is also very distinctive. On the other side of the castle is an ancient European knight in armor, holding a shield and a sword. On the other side of the palace is a black night fork. The bat-like wings are carved very carefully, which makes people feel that it can be at any time. It can fly. The blue butterflies flapped their wings and patted the closed door, as if urging them to enter the door.
Qianqi tried to push the door, but the door did not move. It seemed to be locked from the inside. He reached out and slapped the door a few times. At first, there was no response. After a few seconds, the sound of unlocking came from inside, and the door was slowly opened. The blue butterfly got in lightly, and the three teenagers followed closely. As soon as they entered the door, the butterflies disappeared silently in the dark.
Compared with the strange appearance, it looks much more normal inside. In the empty and dark hall, there are faint blue lights hanging on the stone wall, bright and dark. There are countless bronze mirrors standing on both sides of the middle aisle, and one person is tall on each side. When three teenagers pass by the mirror, they will unconsciously see their reflection in the mirror. Those shadows look a little strange. They are themselves and not themselves. They are a little creepy after staring at them for a long time, because the expressions of those shadows will Suddenly, there was a trace of weirdness and ferociousness. Some reflections even seem to want to jump out of the mirror and grab themselves outside the mirror, some seem to be experiencing pain, some are afraid of listening to their hands covering their ears, and some are afraid of closing their eyes...
After gradually adapting to the darkness in the hall, Xia Qiu suddenly found that there were several pairs of red flame-like eyes at the end of the hall. She did not speak, but pulled the corners of Ouyang Xiao Leng's clothes. In fact, Ouyang Xiao Leng had long realized the figures staring at them in front of him, and he covered Xia Qiu with his body.
"Why did the life that is still alive come to Huangquan?" A sound came from the throne in the distance to break the tranquility in the air.
Sitting on the throne was a tall figure in golden scale armor and a golden mask on his face. He could not hear any emotion from his voice, but with a deep chill.
Ouyang Xiao Leng suddenly realized that that man was the demon king of Yanluo. He stepped forward and said calmly, "Hello, demon king of Yanluo! I am Ouyang Xiao Leng, the descendant of the demon king fox. The divine charm that seals the divine pillar in the demon world has disappeared. My companions and I came to find the earth charm hidden in the Huangquan Kingdom to seal the divine power dissipated in the divine pillar and relieve the crisis of the collapse of the whole demon world.
Before his words fell, the Yanluo Demon King shouted loudly: "Ha ha, listen! What a ridiculous thing to say, this is not a place where you can go in and out at will, and now you still want to take away the charm from here where you can only go in and out?!"
Under the throne, the skeletons in black and white cloaks repeated like echoes, "Only in and out, only in and out..."
It sounds strange to them, as if it can only be made by the collision of teeth and bones.
The demon king of Yanluo laughed more and more sarcastically, and then turned to the man in peacock blue clothes closest to him in front of him and scolded, "Histachio, why did you lead them to me? You should take them to the forbidden forest, or to the spirit warriors in front of the spiritual palace, and let them be killed by evil spirits, or get involved in the black hole.
At this time, Xia Qiu and they noticed that this beautiful man named feng Xinzi, who was extremely incompatible with everything around him, was wearing the color of the butterfly that had just led them to the way. Now it seems that those butterflies were transformed by him.
The man who called the rheutron quickly explained, "Lord Yanluo Demon King, the demon king fox is the lord of the demon world chosen by the gods. If you exile them like this, it is equivalent to violating the will of the gods, and you are also openly enemies of the demon world! That's what I thought that led them to you!"
"Ha ha, the jokes I heard today are really one after another! My Huangquan Kingdom is not under the jurisdiction of any world of gods and demons. This distorted space is neither restricted by time nor bound by reincarnation. There is no cause or effect. How can I be afraid of disobeying the will of the gods or being an enemy of the demon world? The demon king of Yanluo arrogantly refuted him.
"It's the first time for them to come here. They don't know the rules here, and they have an urgent mood to save the demon world. Please let them go! The feng zeit is willing to lead them back to their own world!" The feng tense couldn't persuade him, so he had to take a step back and plead.
"Just put them back like this? How is that possible! I can give you the charm you want!" The tone of the demon king of Yanluo changed, and it sounded like a huge conspiracy. "But you have to complete the three things I proposed. If you can complete it successfully, you can not only take away the land charm, but also safely leave my Huangquan country."
"Then let's make a deal!" Ouyang Xiao Leng immediately responded, afraid that the Flame Demon King would change his mind again. His eyes looked directly at him behind the mask on the throne without any flinching.
The rhubarb on the side of the hunch is ominous. He knows the character of the Yan Luo demon king, and it is almost impossible to take away the land charm from Huangquan. The request he will make will definitely make the three children in front of him more or less auspicious. He originally wanted to do his best to protect them from leaving safely as soon as possible, but they not only did not follow their own wishes, but also insisted on meeting the challenge of the Yanluo Demon King. They did not realize that they had been roped around their necks at all.
Just as he was anxious and helpless, the Yanluo Demon King smiled maliciously and looked at them condescendingly and said, "Since you also agree, I will talk about the three things I need you to complete!" First, you must swim to the other end of the Nai River, pick the flowers on the other side, and bring them back to my daughter; second, you must enter the forbidden forest and find the colored crystals; third, you must find your own spiritual card from the Lingque Palace, and only in this way can you leave here safely!"
Hearing the three conditions put forward by the Flame Demon King, Rhence has already been in a cold sweat. It takes great perseverance and courage to achieve any of these. Obviously, the three confident teenagers in front of them obviously don't know what kind of life-and-death struggle they will be involved in, and they don't know what consequences they will face once they can't complete it. Although he can't remind them in person, he has made up his mind. If they have to follow the words of the demon king, he will secretly help them, but whether they can succeed or not depends on their own creation.
"Okay, we will definitely finish it, so let's leave first!" Ouyang Xiao Leng answered confidently, and then said nothing. He took Xia Qiu and Qian Qi to say goodbye to the Flame Luo Demon King and walked out of the Flame Luo Demon Palace.
Hacinth also found an excuse to leave the hall to chase them soon after. Before walking out of the hall, the Yanluo Demon King had given him the last warning not to give any help to the descendants of the demon king fox and his companions, otherwise he would be heavily punished. In fact, he had expected this for a long time, but he still couldn't take back his decision to help these teenagers. He didn't know why he did this. Maybe from them, he saw some hope. Although he could no longer leave this twisted and empty world, they were different.
He didn't have time to think more about his situation. He once again turned into the group of gorgeous blue butterflies, arranged in the shape of fengxin flowers, catching up with the three teenagers and guiding them all the way to the Nai River.
