Chapter 271: Cowardly

In the deserted village, Lu Heng smiled and talked with the children to calm their emotions.

In the wilderness, in a mountain stream five hundred miles away from here, a black demonic energy suddenly burst out from the stream and transformed into a thin scribe's figure under the moon.

Surprisingly, it was Xiao Juechen, one of the four guest elders who had escaped from the deserted village.

After appearing, Xiao Juechen was still a little worried, looked around nervously, and then murmured in a low voice.

"It seems that the Wolf God didn't follow..."

In the shadow behind Xiao Juechen, a half-rotted human head slowly emerged.

Half of the head was rotten, with only a third of the face still intact. Now he emerged from Xiao Juechen's shadow, looked around, and hummed.

"It seems that he is chasing the Heavenly Evil Lord... Hehe... It's good luck for you this time. There will be a stronger evil demon to support you, otherwise you won't have a chance to escape."

"But now that I have escaped, I have sacrificed a powerful evil demon... Haha... Originally, you were expecting this Tian Xie Zun to join the gang and help you deal with Yan Emperor Lian Shanjing, right? But now it's all in vain. You guys The dilemma still cannot be broken...hahaha..."

Rotting Head's tone was full of sarcasm.

Normally, Xiao Juechen might be able to ignore such a tone.

But at this time, he had just escaped from a desperate situation and was in a bad mood. The sarcastic voice of the rotting human head sounded extremely harsh.

Xiao Juechen stepped on the rotten human head behind him and cursed.

"Shut up!"

Under the moonlight, Xiao Juechen's kick was so fast that even a monk of the same level could not avoid it at such a close distance.

However, the rotten head emerging from the shadow chuckled and teleported to avoid Xiao Juechen's kick.

Continue the sarcasm.

"Are you in a hurry? Aren't you the famous smiling face in Qingming Cave? Where is your city? Why can't I see it at all?"

"You can't bear even the slightest ridicule. With such a cultivated character, why do you deserve to be honored as an ancestor?"

The Rotting Head's mocking and provocative words made Xiao Juechen look gloomy.

It tilted its head and looked coldly at the rotting human head in the shadow behind it, but this time it was no longer angry.

After being silent for a while, Xiao Juechen said coldly: "Nothing will happen to the Evil Lord."

Such a confident tone made Rotten Head a little surprised: "Oh? Are you so sure?"

"Of course!" Xiao Juechen sneered: "The wolf god claims to have done his best to eradicate evil. If he takes action, he will not let the evil spirits go easily. But when we fled, we didn't see it blocking us."

"Obviously, the calamity clouds over the deserted village were not summoned by the Wolf God. It should just be that we were unlucky and the demonic energy was too strong, which caused the calamity clouds to automatically condense."

"If Hanyu Mountain Wolf God really took action, he wouldn't just watch us escape and do nothing...so the Evil Lord must still be intact now!"

Xiao Juechen said firmly.

In response to this, the rotten man shook his head up and down and nodded: "Yeah, that makes sense... But if you dare to lie to yourself like this, then do you dare to go back?"

The rotten head chuckled and said: "Go back and see if the situation is really as you think. The Wolf God of Hanyu Mountain is not here... Do you dare?"

At the provocation of the Rotting Head, Xiao Juechen snorted coldly: "Why should I go back? I have already set a meeting place with the Evil Lord. I can just go directly to Fuyu Mountain to wait for him."

"As for the other monsters, they are just a bunch of drunkards and rice sacks. If they die, they will die. It will save them worries."

With that said, Xiao Juechen once again observed his surroundings vigilantly, and after confirming that no pursuers were coming, he once again turned into a ball of black demonic energy and escaped into the mountain stream, disappearing along the stream.

And the laughter of the rotting human head kept echoing in its ears, extremely harsh.

"Hahaha...I'm scared!"

"The four guests from Qingming Cave are cowardly!"

…

…………

In the wilderness, demons run.

Outside Zhaoguang City, Lu Heng said goodbye to Wu Zhu here and set foot on the eastbound road again.

After the divine message was sent last night, Zhaoguang City Wu Zhu hurriedly came with the wizards and received the forty children in the deserted village who were raised by the demons of Qingming Cave as top-quality food.

Although these children do not know the location of Qingming Cave, they grew up in Qingming Cave after all. If they ask in detail, they can still get a lot of useful information.

However, this kind of thing needs to wait until the children calm down before doing it.

Before that, wizards need to appease the hearts of these children and let them gradually integrate into humans.

As for the parents of these children...not to mention that these children have never seen their parents since they were young and do not know their parents' names.

Even if they knew, their parents would have been eaten by demons long ago.

After all, the demons don't like meat that is too old.

As for the detailed experiences of these children in Mocao, Lu Heng did not ask, but the little boy Shen Wuyou chatted with the children all night.

It wasn't until Lu Heng set off in the morning that he followed him in a gloomy mood.

After walking very far outside, Zhaoguang City was far behind, but Shen Wuyou's head was still drooping and weak.

When passing a river bend, Lu Heng said with a smile.

"Wouyou, are you worried about your sister?"

The little boy was stunned for a moment, and then he woke up from his reverie and saw Lu Heng looking at him with a smile.

Shen Wuyou quickly shook his head and said, "To tell you what my father is saying, Wuyou is not worried about my sister. Wuyou... Wuyou is just unhappy."

"Oh? You feel unhappy? Why?" Lu Heng asked, "Is it because of the children raised in Qingming Cave?"

The little boy nodded heavily and said, "These evil demons are so cruel that they actually raise 100,000 living people in Qingming Cave as blood food... Maybe when I am talking to Daddy now, someone has been eaten by the demons."

The little boy said this with a sad expression.

Lu Heng smiled and said, "That's why we have to destroy Qingming Cave and rescue those mortals who are raised."

"But Daddy, we...shouldn't we go to Fuyu Mountain? Going to Fuyu Mountain, you can see the evil demon Xiao Juechen, and he will take you to Qingming Cave. In this way, Daddy can destroy the demons in Qingming Cave as soon as possible and rescue those victims..."

The little boy's words made Lu Heng suddenly understand.

"So it's your fault that I didn't go and kill the demons right away...haha..."

Shaking his head with a smile, Lu Heng said: "Although it's a big deal to go to Fuyu Mountain to meet Xiao Juechen, it's also a big deal for us to go to Luwu Mountain."

"Maybe the messenger sent by Qingming Cave to negotiate with us is waiting on the road ahead. If we go directly to Fuyu Mountain, we might miss this messenger and have trouble negotiating with Qingming Cave."

"Without rescuing your sister, what can I do even if I dive into Qingming Cave? When the evil demons threatened me with your sister, do you think I should save her? Or not?"
