Chapter 625: The End of Self-Righteousness

I don’t know when the moonlight in the sky became extremely cold.

Li Xiaoyao was already confused. He had never expected that three of the masters who were full of confidence just now died in the blink of an eye, and the remaining one was seriously injured.

This is not right.

Those storytellers have never told such stories.

“The hundred-year-old little demon is just a cover. The real owner here is a thousand-year-old snake demon. My fellow apprentices and I were tricked as soon as we entered. The poisonous smoke made us only play 10% of our strength.”

The second senior brother said in a hurry: “Run quickly, it will be too late if we don’t run. No, I guess I can’t leave like this. Junior brother, go back and call people, I will delay for a while!”

“Senior brother, keep an eye on him, I will deal with it.”

Amber shook his head helplessly.

He didn’t have a deep study of the concept of demonic energy. He only knew that there were two monsters inside, one strong and one weak, but he didn’t know how strong the strong one was.

Because for Amber, it was just a matter of raising his hand.

"Junior brother, now is not the time to show off!"

The second senior brother stamped his feet in anger, but the injuries on his body made it impossible for him to take effective measures.

"Help me keep an eye on him."

Amber was too lazy to explain, his body turned into a black line, and he rushed into the cave.

Li Xiaoyao was stunned.

"Hero, what should we do now?"

"Run away quickly."

The second senior brother shook his head in despair: "Junior brother has gone in, and I can't leave like this. I hope that the snake demon will not be interested in you because you are a mortal. If you can really escape, find a way to pass the news here to Shushan."

As he said that, he took off the long sword behind him and handed it over.

"This is your reward."

The second senior brother showed a resolute look on his face, and staggered into the cave.

Li Xiaoyao looked at the sword in his hand at a loss, and heard weak but firm words in his ears.

"The human way is vague, the immortal way is vast, the ghost way is joyful, and it is the gate of life. The immortal way values ​​life, and the ghost way values ​​death. The immortal way is always auspicious, and the ghost way is always evil. The spirit is clear and refreshing, the sad song is loud, the sky is full of the sky, and my way is prosperous!"

An indescribable emotion churned in his heart. Li Xiaoyao touched his face and found that he didn't know when he shed tears.

Although they had just met not long ago, whether it was Amber or the few masters who appeared later, they all perfectly matched his imagination of the hero.

Slay demons and protect peace.

Even if you die, you have no regrets.

Hero, little hero, don't worry, I will definitely pass the news back to Shushan!

Mumbling this sentence in his heart, Li Xiaoyao resolutely ran out of the forest.

However, he had just run a few steps when he heard a shocking scream from behind. It didn't sound like a human, but more like some kind of animal.

Li Xiaoyao was frightened and shivered, and his steps became faster.

But because he ran too fast, he kept falling in the forest. In addition, his physical strength was already at the bottom, and he hadn't eaten, so he was hungry and tired at this time.

Bang!

The vines hidden under the dead leaves hooked Li Xiaoyao's legs, causing him to fly directly out and roll on the ground for several rounds. The pain and fatigue made him unable to get up again. Like a fish thrown on the shore, he lay on his back and gasped.

"Are you going to die? Auntie, I'm sorry... I can't be filial to you."

"Don't be sorry, you won't die."

A familiar voice sounded above, and Li Xiaoyao opened his eyes in astonishment, and saw Amber carrying the unconscious second brother on his back, holding a huge snake head in his hand, smiling at this side.

"Big... Little... Little hero, you are not dead?"

He got up from the ground in shock, as if the fatigue just now had completely disappeared.

"Do you really want me to die? It's just a snake demon, what's the big deal."

Amber raised the snake head in his hand: "My senior brothers fell into a trap, so they lost."

The second senior brother who was in a "coma" moved his ears, and then closed his eyes tighter.

"I'm glad you're okay, I just thought."

Li Xiaoyao rubbed his eyes again, "I'm glad you're okay, little hero, are we going back to the county now?"

"Well, go to your inn to rest, there should be food now, right?"

Amber felt the increasingly light sense of restraint between heaven and earth, and his tone softened unconsciously.

Although he didn't become half of Li Xiaoyao's master as he imagined, the current result is not bad. I guess when I leave, I will have a deeper impression and I should be able to control the power of heaven and earth normally.

Even if it can't reach the level of a one-person world, it's enough.

Not to mention that there is still no contact with Zhao Linger.

It's just that there is no special way to get to this fairy island, or for a lucky son of the plane like Li Xiaoyao, ordinary people may not even be able to find it, let alone go up.

"Yes, yes, of course there is food!"

Li Xiaoyao nodded repeatedly.

"Then let's go."

The Qingming sword on Amber's waist soared into the air and landed at his feet. After killing the snake demon, it became more agile.

It took a day to get here, but it took less than a cup of tea to fly with the sword, and the three of them arrived above Zhou County.

Li Xiaoyao, who was originally excited, suddenly became a little nervous.

"What's wrong?"

Amber turned his head to look at him.

"My aunt has never gone back so late before. She will definitely teach me a lesson."

Li Xiaoyao said tangledly.

"Hahaha, you can't avoid this, let's go!"

Amber controlled the flying sword and stopped before Yun Laiyun went to the inn. It should have been long past closing time, but at this moment, the lights were still on both sides.

When I walked in, I saw the woman holding her head, half asleep and half awake.

"Auntie."

Li Xiaoyao shouted cautiously.

The woman didn't hear anything at first, but when she realized who was coming back, she immediately became furious. Regardless of the presence of Amber and others, she picked up a broom and chased after him.

Li Xiaoyao fled in embarrassment, begging for mercy in various ways, but was finally forgiven, and then said something shamelessly, successfully getting his aunt to agree to go to the kitchen to cook.

"Is there any room available up there?"

Seeing him look relieved, Amber asked.

"some!"

"Take me there and let my senior brother settle down first."

"Okay, come with me."

Li Xiaoyao specially chose a guest room with good air and ventilation, and put Senior Brother Gao Ren who was still in a "coma" on the bed. After confirming that there was nothing wrong, he followed him downstairs to wait for food.

As the door was closed, the second senior brother, who had his eyes closed suddenly opened his eyes, his face full of guilt and pain.

Everything that happened today, after all, was because he had started to be self-righteous after being praised by several junior brothers, and that was why he ended up like this.

Four people came out together, but ended up going back alone. He didn't know how to face the master or other people.
