Chapter 174 Cat Demon Thief
Through the layers of water sleeves, a blue sword engraved with fish scale patterns was waved by the magnificent green teenager, constantly resisting the awl snake-like raid twisted at the front end of the water sleeve. There is a trace of sadness on the full moon-like face of the young man in yellow who controls the colorful water sleeves. From his lack of concentration, it is easy to see that this is not a competition about life and death.
The young man in yellow suddenly jumped into the air and turned around and turned into a long dagger hidden in the water sleeve. When the young man in green also flew into the air, he tried to use water sleeves as a cover and then use a dagger to carry out a real attack, but he was recognized by the other party. The young man in green suddenly changed his direction. First, he did not panic and hit the water sleeve that wanted to wrap him to one side, and then suddenly accelerated back and forth to the young man in yellow and gently put the sword against his neck.
Then he said blankly, "You lost!"
Unexpectedly, the teenager in yellow did not recognize it and asked, "Who said that?"
"I didn't expect you to have this. It seems that I underestimate you!" The young man in green frowned and soon unfolded again.
"Alas, Benlong, I'm giving up!" The young man in yellow sighed and said.
It turned out that when the young man in green concentrated on attacking him, the young man in yellow had already changed the direction of the water sleeve. The front end of the water sleeve was waiting behind the young man in green and could stab him at any time.
"Why do you still call me stupid dragon?! I have a name!" The young man in green said unhappily.
"Well, how can Qianqi have the image of a stupid dragon?" The teenager in yellow seemed to want to quarrel with him.
But the young man in green had no intention to argue with him, but said indifferently, "Call whatever you want!"
It has been nearly half a month since Qianqi and Lingyu returned to Dongyao. Although the Amber Dragon King has sent people to explore around the demon world, there is still no news about Qingyun. The two worried teenagers stay in the Amber Dragon Palace all day long, and can only rely on demonic skills and martial arts to relieve their distress every day.
On this day, as soon as they had a test in the courtyard at the bottom of the lake in the Amber Dragon Palace, Sanmu hurried to them. After seeing Qianqi, he saluted and said, "Young master!"
Sanmu has been responsible for tracking the clues about Qingyun recently, so as soon as Qianqi saw him take the initiative to see him, he seemed to see hope and hurriedly asked, "Sanmu, how's it going? Is there any news?"
"Yes! A spy under the villain said that someone had seen Yecha in Miancheng recently. Three eyes respond.
"Are you sure it's Miancheng?! Hasn't it been abandoned for a long time?!" Qianqi asked in disbelief.
He remembers that his father once told him that in the era of the first generation of demon king Hu Li, the lord of Miancheng had betrayed the king city and wanted to unite several cities next to it to become independent in the demon world, but he was finally conquered by the army of the king city led by Li. After that, Miancheng was depressed and gradually abandoned.
"In the past ten years, many poor people have moved back there, which has gradually become lively there." Sanmu explained.
"So that's it! Lingyu, it seems that we have to go to Miancheng immediately!" Qianqi turned his head and said to Ling Yu.
"Uh-huh!" Ling Yu nodded in response to him.
Although he tried his best to defeat the firebird slurry boy of the magma monster that day, he still couldn't see his sister Xiaqiu's last face. When Ouyang Xiao Leng told everyone that Xia Qiu was dead, he suddenly felt that his whole body was empty. In a blink of an eye, the Chimir dungeon, which he regarded as his hometown, was reduced to a dead city. The cold and resence of his relatives were also brutally attacked. Xia Qiu was like the last sustenance in his heart, but he didn't expect that this sustenance was also taken away by the claws from Qingyun. He didn't want to sit in Dongyao for a long time, but he suffered from having no clue. Now as soon as he heard the news brought by Sanmu, he couldn't help but want to find out.
After saying goodbye to the Amber Dragon King, Qianqi and Lingyu went straight to Miancheng. Lingyu was no longer in the mood to enjoy the scenery along the way. He just wanted to go day and night to confirm the reliability of the news as soon as possible.
In Miancheng, there are only some broken walls left on the strong wall in the past, but the gate still stands there symbolically, which looks very ironic, and the word Miancheng on the wall gate has become blurred. Since Miancheng was captured by Li, many residents in the city were worried that they would be regarded as part of the betrayal of the king city, so they abandoned the city and fled. The whole city is declining day by day, and eventually becomes a hiding place for lonely ghosts.
Until ten years ago, a group of vagrants discovered the empty city. Although the houses here were dilapidated, they could at least protect them from the wind and rain, so they decided to stay. Later, many poor and homeless people moved in one after another, and Miancheng became lively again. But on the other hand, because the royal city has no time to take care of this already abandoned city, some slave traders gathered here, which also formed a place similar to the slave black market.
Qianqi and Ling Yu finally came to the gate of Miancheng. After calling away their demon horses, they entered the city. It is much more lively than they thought before. The streets are crowded, and there are many vendors selling strange things on both sides. Although it is not as prosperous as Dongyao, there is a cheerful atmosphere when listening to the shouts of those vendors.
To their surprise, there are even many things introduced from the world for sale. Such as sugar-coated haws, small noodles, and colorful paper lanterns. Lingyu had never seen these rare things, so he couldn't help but look at them a few more times. After Qian Qi noticed it, he bought two strings of sugar gourd and handed him a string.
Ling Yu took a sip. This sugar gourd is sour and sweet. In addition to refreshing, it is also very refreshing. He asked Qianqi, "What kind of strange thing is this? It's so delicious!"
"I haven't eaten it! This is called sugar-coated haws. I ate it once when I went to the world before, and I thought it was very delicious. I didn't expect to buy it here. Qianqi also took a sip after saying that and felt that it was still the original taste.
"Are we looking all over the street like this aimlessly? Did Sanmu provide any clues? After walking for a while, Lingyu couldn't help asking.
"I heard that it should have something to do with the slave black market. Let's find out where the slave black market is?" Qianqi looked around and answered.
"How can I find out?" Ling Yu continued to ask.
"Money is easy to do, no matter where it is!" Qianqi looked proud. He just wanted to reach out and touch the money bag that was pinned to his waist, but he was hit by someone. When he touched it again, he found that the money bag had disappeared. He quickly said to Ling Yu, "It's broken. I just got hit by my wallet and fell off!"
"Have you seen what the person who hit you looks like?" Ling Yu asked while looking back for a suspicious person.
"It's a child, and he's probably so tall!" Qianqi scratched the position between his waist and answered.
"It turned out to be a little thief. You are really stupid to say that you are a stupid dragon! What are you waiting for?! Chasing it!" After saying that, Ling Yu shook his head and rushed out first.
Qianqi also followed. Because the streets were really crowded, they had to fly into the air. In the black head, a small figure in blue sackcloth was running forward at a very fast speed.
"Is that him?" Ling Yu pointed to the little figure and asked.
"That's right! It's unlucky for him to steal my purse!" Qianqi accelerated his speed and flew to the top of the child's head, rushed down and reached out to pick him up, and then took him to an open place to put his back against a wall.
He recognized the child as a cat demon at a glance. The cat ears above his head could not be hidden, and the nervous cat's tail was also exposed. No wonder he was so agile. Looking at his big watery eyes and innocent face, he didn't expect to be a thief.
"Oh, it turned out to be a cat thief!" Ling Yu also came to them and said.
Qianqi's wallet was still tightly clenched on the kitten demon's hand. He struggled angrily for a few times and still couldn't get away from the hand that grabbed him and cried. His crying made Qianqi panic and didn't know what to do.
"Don't be fooled by him. This is a thief's usual trick. If it's hard, just be soft and pretend to be pitiful!" Ling Yu saw Qianqi's hesitation and reminded him.
"You still have experience!" Qianqi joked that he remembered that Wangyue and Lingyu's acquaintance was because he stole the money bag, and then turned to the kitten demon and asked, "Come on, why are you a thief at a young age?"
"I... I want to save my sister!" The kitten demon looked at the two big brothers in front of him who didn't look like bad guys. He hesitated to answer, and then cried more fiercely.
"Save your sister? You really opened your mouth to tell this lie!" Ling Yu said with a crooked mouth.
But Qianqi didn't think he was lying, and then asked him, "What's going on?" What's wrong with your sister?
"My parents owed me a lot of money, so they arrested my sister and sold it to slave traders. I heard from others that the slave trader specially sold the bought slaves to a monster at a high price.
"Monster?" Qianqi asked puzzledly.
"Uh-huh, that is, he will rely on living slaves to increase demon power." The kitten demon nodded hard and said.
"It's another ape red demon!" Qianqi said angrily.
"I stole money because I want my sister to buy it back, otherwise... or my sister will die..." At the thought of being separated from my sister forever, the kitten demon cried so much that his nose and tears blurred his face.
At this moment, Lingyu also believed that he should not have lied, so he asked Qianqi, "What should I do?"
"Now that you have met him, just give him a hand!" Qian Qi answered, and then continued to ask the kitten demon, "What's your name?" Where is your sister now?
"My name is Yu Xiaoli. My sister is still locked in the slave black market, but she will soon be sold to that monster!" The kitten demon stopped crying as soon as he heard that they were going to help him, but he said with some sobs.
"The slave black market is exactly where we are going!" Ling Yu nodded and said to himself.
"Child, give me back the money bag first! Then lead the way for us. I'd like to see who is so lawless and dares to sell the living demon to the monster to practice!" Qianqi stretched out his hand and said to the kitten demon.
"Uh-huh!"
The kitten demon hesitated for a moment, nodded and returned the money bag, and then led them to the slave black market.
