Demon King's Wife

Chapter 387 Besieged by Beasts
In the early morning of the next day, Mu Ruoxin, Yan Liheng and the others had already got up and set off for the Blackwater Mountains.

Yahong and Jiuye came to see them off, and told them about the entrance of the Heishui Mountains, reminding them of the most dangerous places in the Heishui Mountains.

For Yahong and Jiuye's reminders with ulterior motives, Mu Ruoxin just thanked them politely, not thanking them from the bottom of her heart, said goodbye after chatting a few more words, and then entered the Blackwater Mountains.

The Blackwater Mountain Range is a fierce place. Although the name is not very fierce, it is still a place to be feared. A hundred years ago or even a thousand years ago, many people dared to venture into the Blackwater Mountain Range. There is no return, and it gradually makes people feel timid. Over time, no one dares to go to the Blackwater Mountains indiscriminately.

Today was the day when the gates of the Blackwater Mountains were opened, but very few people went in, except for Mu Ruoxin and Yan Liheng, no one else went in at all.

Yahong and Jiugui stood at the entrance, watching Mu Ruoxin, Yan Liheng and others enter the Blackwater Mountains, and did not want to talk until their figures disappeared.

"Jiuye, do you think they can come out? They still have the elixir and the five-colored god stone. If something happens to them in the Blackwater Mountains, wouldn't these two things also disappear?" Yahong said. Asked, all the thoughts in my heart were my own interests.

If she could get the elixir and the five-colored divine stone, her status in the ghost city could be improved a lot by virtue of these two things, and she might even be able to enter the headquarters of the ghost city.How could she miss such a great opportunity?

"Don't worry, even if they really have an accident, I won't let those two things have any accidents. The black wind and three evil spirits..." Master Jiu had a sinister smile on his face, not worried at all about not getting the two things he wanted, and coldly told the air No one shouted from the side, and soon, three black figures suddenly emerged from the ground, then knelt down on one knee in front of Jiu Gui, and said in unison: "See Master Jiu..."

"The three of you should know about this mission, right? It's best if you can successfully capture the item, but these two people must not keep the item after you get it. They must be buried in the Blackwater Mountains. If you can't successfully capture the item, then take action." Give them a helping hand, and make sure they return safely. Do you understand?"

"clear."

"Okay, let's go, follow secretly, don't let them find you."

"Yes."

After receiving the order, Heifeng Sansha fled into the ground, moved forward from the ground, and entered the Heishui Mountain Range.

Not long after Heifeng Sansha left, Xiaoqi rushed over and rushed into the entrance of Heishui Mountain without hesitation, trying to catch up with Mu Ruoxin.

He has been guarding outside the gate since last night, waiting for the beautiful sister to leave, but accidentally fell asleep, and when he woke up, the beautiful sister had already left, so he could only come here in a hurry.

"Xiao Qi..." Seeing Xiao Qi rushing towards the entrance of the Blackwater Mountain Range, Yahong couldn't bear to watch him die, and wanted to pull him back.

But Nine Ghosts refused and stopped Yahong, "Don't worry about him, let him go."

"He's just a child, he can't protect himself in ordinary places, so how can he survive in the Blackwater Mountains. Master Jiu, this..."

"This is his own choice. No one forced him. This kid is very stubborn. Even if the ghost market raises him, he will not be grateful and will not be used by the ghost market. Why should such a person waste food to raise him?" Big? If it weren't for the fact that his adoptive father risked his life to get something more valuable for the ghost market, I would have kicked out this little devil of unknown origin. The rules of the ghost market don't support people who eat for free. "

"But he's still just a kid, he doesn't understand anything."

"Yahong, the ghost market is not a place of kindness, but a place for business. Kindness is worthless in the ghost market. If you want to hang around in the ghost market, kill your kindness, otherwise you will only be in the ghost market forever." Heishuicheng is a soldier, understand?" Jiugui taught Yahong a few words seriously, and then left.If it weren't for Yahong's good performance these years, he wouldn't bother to say these few teaching words.

The ghost market only cares about benefits and values. The ghost market has no disdain for kindness, which cannot create any benefits and values, and will even drive people who are too kind out of the ghost market.In most cases, things like kindness will only affect interests, not create interests, so they don't need them.

Yahong looked at the back of Xiaoqi who disappeared at the entrance of the Blackwater Mountains, shook her head helplessly and sighed, buried the little bit of kindness that suddenly appeared just now, and left with Jiugui.

Kindness really didn't help her at all, so she should have gotten used to it over the years. How could she show kindness to a person who has nothing to do with her today?
Xiao Qi only focused on rushing into the Heishui Mountains, and when he passed Jiugui and Yahong, he didn't even look at them, all he could think about was to catch up with Mu Ruoxin as soon as possible and follow her.

"Beautiful sister, wait for me...wait for me..."

There is no heavy fog at the entrance of the Blackwater Mountains, but a dense forest. The grass on the ground grows extremely well, the wild flowers bloom amazingly, full of aura, and there are many herbs. Although they are just ordinary herbs, they still Surprisingly.

"Wow... this place is simply a treasure land, how could it be a fierce land? It is full of spiritual energy, lush vegetation, and many herbs. There must be more rare things. No matter how you look at it, it is a treasure land, haha... this is Nine spirit grass, this is saxifrage, this is drunk fairy brew...wow...these herbs can be used to refine a lot of elixirs!" Mu Ruoxin was attracted by the herbs as soon as he entered the Blackwater Mountains. Pick it all the way, throw it into the artistic conception if you can't finish it.

If you use the herbal medicine here to refine it into a pill and sell it, you will definitely make a lot of money.

Haha, get rich, get rich!

Yan Yi helped collect the herbs, he would pick whatever herbs his mother picked, and then sent them to her mother.

"Mom, dear, here..."

"Xiao Yi is so good."

Jin Jin looked at the herb that Yan Yi picked, and after being familiar with the shape and taste of the herb, he jumped to the ground, and if he saw it, he pulled it out with his mouth, and brought it to Mu Ruoxin after pulling it out.

"Zhizhi..." Logically speaking, it should be delivered to the owner, but it knows that most of the roast chicken it eats is roasted by the owner's mother, so it must be good for it to please the owner's mother.

"Yo, so Jinjin is so good! Hehe! I'll get you a roast chicken later." Mu Ruoxin accepted the herbal medicine from Jinjin, stroked its head, coaxed it, and then continued to pick and pick. While picking, I suddenly heard someone shouting behind me, so I stopped, looked back, and was extremely surprised.

"Why did this kid follow?"

"Beautiful sister, wait for me, wait for me..." Xiao Qi chased after him. There were many people in front of him, but he only had Mu Ruoxin in his eyes. He was running very fast. He was still far away a second ago. He got close in a second, and when he came in front of Mu Ruoxin, he stopped immediately, without blushing or panting, but a little anxious.

"Beautiful sister, wait for me..."

"Xiao Qi, why are you here? This place is very dangerous, you shouldn't be here." Mu Ruoxin squatted down, took out a handkerchief, and wanted to wipe Xiao Qi's sweat, but found that he didn't sweat at all, and he didn't even breathe. Not panting.

This little Maotou ran such a long distance without being out of breath, and she couldn't have done it otherwise.

very strange!

"I want to follow you, pretty sister, let me follow you, okay?"

"Xiao Qi, the place I went this time is really dangerous, and I may die at any time. I'm not sure if I have the ability to protect you in a crisis, so..."

"I'm not afraid, as long as I can follow you, I'm not afraid of anything. Beautiful sister, take me with you, maybe I can help you. Let me tell you the truth, in fact, when I am bullied in the ghost city, I will hide Here, sometimes I hide for several days, and I can’t find anything to eat before returning to the ghost market. I’m a little familiar with this place, maybe I can help you!”

"What, since you often come to the Blackwater Mountains, isn't the entrance here only opened once a month? How did you get in?" Mu Ruoxin was extremely surprised, and began to have special doubts about Xiaoqi's identity.If the facts are as Xiaoqi said, then he should have some subtle relationship with the Blackwater Mountains, but she still doesn't know what kind of relationship it is.

Xiaoqi shook his head and answered seriously, "I don't know why everyone says that the entrance to the Blackwater Mountains is only open once a month, but I can come in every time I want, sometimes several times a month! But I didn't tell anyone about this, because I hate them. Pretty sister, you are the best person to me besides foster father, let me follow you, okay? I don't want to be alone..." , Xiaoqi's eyes were flushed, but he didn't let himself cry, and swallowed the tears back very strongly.

"Xiao Qi, although I don't know why you can enter and leave the Blackwater Mountains at will, but I am going to do something very dangerous this time, are you afraid?"

"Not afraid, I'm not afraid of anything, really."

"Well, just follow me for the time being. I'll find you a good family and let them adopt you." It's not that she doesn't want to adopt Xiaoqi, but she doesn't know if other people around her can accept Xiaoqi?
Ah Heng doesn't like to get along with strangers, he doesn't trust outsiders, even if he is a child, he won't trust them, let alone like them.If Xiaoqi followed her, I'm afraid Aheng would be unhappy.There are other people who only believe in themselves and have a sense of rejection from outsiders. It is quite difficult for them to accept Xiaoqi. Leng Chen is the best example.After so many years, except for her, no one else has really admitted that Leng Chen is one of them.

Yan Liheng really didn't like having a stranger around him. When Mu Ruoxin was talking with Xiaoqi, he was quite worried that she would adopt Xiaoqi. Fortunately, she only said it was temporarily, otherwise he would be very upset.

Although it was only for a while, Xiao Qi was already very happy. He rarely showed a bright smile, so he laughed, "Thank you pretty sister."

"You!"

Yan Yi, who was on the side, glared at Xiaoqi angrily, and complained in a low voice, "He's robbing my mother again, damn it."

Sitting on Yan Yi's shoulder, Jin Jin heard his muttering and complaining, and also helped his master strengthen his momentum, "Squeak..." Damn it.

Mu Ruoxin's ears were very sharp, and when she heard her son's complaint, she coaxed him, "Xiao Yi, this is not right. In one's life, one has to deal not only with one's relatives, but also with friends outside. You should be with Xiao Yi." Qi should be good friends and brothers, instead of being jealous like a little girl. No matter who mother treats well, you are mother’s own son, and this will never change. From now on, get along well with Xiao Qi and be good friends, you know ?”

"I'll try my best." How could Yan Yi understand these great principles of life for a while, although he also felt a little petty, but he was really uncomfortable.

Well, well, he is really stingy, so stingy that he doesn't want his father's love and mother's love to be taken away by anyone.

After coaxing his son, Mu Ruoxin went to coax Xiaoqi, "Xiaoqi, although you are not my son, it is a kind of fate that we met. I will do my best in the future to help you get on the right track in life and let you It's a good start. But you have to promise me that you will not do bad things, you will be a good and sensible boy, and you will be friends with Xiao Yi, you know?"

"Beautiful sister, I get it. I will definitely be a well-behaved and sensible boy, and I will also be friends with...he." Xiao Qi looked at Yan Yi. Although he was not used to being friends with others, he wanted to He will work hard with his beautiful sister.

"Okay then, let's try to be friends." Yan Yi was more cheerful, and slowly accepted the fact that Xiao Qi existed, so he tried to be friends with him.

It doesn't have much impact if there is one more small discard in the team, and even a small hairy head can't make any big waves.

However, Yan Liheng still kept his eyes open, and didn't fully trust Xiao Qi.In fact, he doesn't trust anyone outside except his own people.

Although this little boy is only five years old, he is from Guishi after all, maybe it is the eyeliner that Guishi placed beside him, so he has to think of a countermeasure to deal with it.

It's been half a day since I entered the Heishui Mountains. The road is full of dense forests, lush flowers and plants, and there are not many others. It seems that this forest will never end.

The entrance to the Blackwater Mountains is only open for three days. If they don't finish their work in three days, they must go out, otherwise they will be trapped here, and they can't enter until the entrance opens next month.However, once the entrance is closed, the entire Blackwater Mountain Range will be covered with poisonous gas. It is said that this poisonous gas is extremely powerful, and those who are poisoned will die instantly.

Since the Blackwater Mountains will be filled with poisonous gas after the entrance is closed, why can Xiaoqi come in at will and go out safely?
Mu Ruoxin has been picking herbs for a long time, and a warehouse has been piled up in the artistic conception. Now she has no intention of picking herbs anymore, but is thinking about Xiao Ai's origin. She really can't figure out why, so she has to go directly to ask clearly.

"Xiaoqi, are you saying that you can enter and exit the Blackwater Mountains at will?"

"Yeah! There are no good people in the ghost city. They often bully me and beat me. Sometimes I escape here and hide for a few days before going back."

"Did you know that after the entrance to the Blackwater Mountains is closed, it will be filled with poisonous gas?"

"I seem to have heard it said, but I'm not sure, but I feel pretty good here."

"Then do you remember where you are from? Who are your parents?"

"Can not remember."

"Then where did your adoptive father find you?"

"The adoptive father said that he found me in a corner of Heishui City. Seeing that I was pitiful, he took me back to the ghost city. In order to keep me in the ghost city, the foster father promised that the people in the ghost city would definitely kill me in three years. If you find something valuable, you will take me away from the ghost market. For me, my adoptive father is really desperate, looking for treasures every day, going to many dangerous places, and coming back with bruises every time. Finally, once, The adoptive father found a treasure, but after getting the treasure, he died. The people in the ghost market just carried the adoptive father's body back, did not bury it, but threw it outside the city to feed wild animals. I followed those who carried the adoptive father The corpse went to the people outside the city. After they left, they dug a pit and buried the adoptive father. Sometimes I would go there to accompany the adoptive father when I was in a bad mood. Fortunately, the grave of the adoptive father was not dug by wild animals. , has been very good."

"You can dig a pit to bury your adoptive father at such a young age?" How much strength is needed to do this!
Xiao Qi nodded, recalling the scenes at that time, lowered his head sadly, and continued to say deeply: "I am not strong enough, and it took a lot of effort to dig a shallow pit to bury my adoptive father in. Such a pit is very easy. It was dug up by wild animals, but the grave of my adoptive father is still in good condition. When I was digging, many wild animals appeared around me, but they didn't attack me. They turned around and left after looking at it for a while. Many people say that the outside of the city is scary, but I don’t think so, even if I sleep there all night and wake up, I’m fine.”

"Don't the beasts outside the city eat people?"

"No, many people were eaten by wild animals outside the city, and it was very miserable!"

"That's strange." Beasts can eat people, but they don't eat Xiaoqi. Why?
The doubts in Mu Ruoxin's heart are getting bigger and bigger, and he is very sure that Xiaoqi is not a simple person.

Yan Liheng listened to Xiao Qi's words, although he was also surprised, but he was dubious about these words.

If he didn't see it with his own eyes, he wouldn't believe it easily. Maybe it was a lie fabricated by the people in the ghost market, so that Xiao Qi would be taken down and told to them.

Xiaoqi doesn't care what other people think of him. He also knows that other than the beautiful sister, other people don't like him, but these are not important. The important thing is the beautiful sister.

"Beautiful sister, I know there is something nearby. I saw that thing in the ghost market before. It seems to be called Bodhizi, but there is a big beast guarding it. I accidentally heard Yahong say that the Bodhizi It is a very valuable and valuable thing, if you want it, I will take you there now."

"Bodhizi, that's a good thing! It's very, very good. But you said there was a beast guarding it, why did you still see it? Is that beast willing to show you the treasure it guards?" Mu Ruoxin was puzzled. Dao, I don't really believe in the Bodhizi that Xiaoqi said.

Bodhi seed, the legendary elixir, was nourished by the flesh and blood of a master who attained the Tao when he passed away. One can imagine its value.There used to be many people fighting for Bodhi, but I don't know whose hands it fell into in the end.

"I've been there, and I've been in that beast's hole, so I can see what's in there."

"What, you were in the beast's hole? How did it let you into its hole?"

"It was raining heavily at the time, and I ran into its cave to hide from the rain. At first it was very fierce, but then it didn't know what happened and then it stopped making a sound, lying there obediently, showing no malice to me. If I had taken the bodhi seed away, I'm afraid it wouldn't be angry. But I didn't take it, it was useless to me, why did I take it away? If people in the ghost market saw it, they would definitely It is my own, so I would rather leave it to the beast. I have been to the beast’s cave more than once, and occasionally I will go to see it and accompany it. I just don’t know if it is willing to give you the bodhi seeds? "

"Hey..." In the end, it all depends on whether the beast is willing or not?
For Bodhi, Yan Liheng was indeed moved, but he didn't believe in Xiaoqi, and he wouldn't let Mu Ruoxin take risks, so he changed the subject with something else.

"Ruoxin, we are here to rescue Li Xing. Time is running out, so we should not waste our energy on other things. Bodhi seed is good, but it is not easy to think about it? You are pregnant now, so don't think too much about it. Too much. We have been in the Blackwater Mountains for half a day, but there is no sign of Li Xing. I am afraid that three days is really not enough."

"I'm sorry, I saw that the baby almost forgot about it. We should save people first. But where should we go to find people?"

At this time, the roar of beasts suddenly came from the surroundings, and many ferocious beasts approached slowly, each of them was vicious, surrounding Mu Ruoxin, Yan Liheng and others.

"Roar……"

Unfortunately, they were besieged by wild beasts.
