Yun Xian 'er's sword Qi barrier seemed to have improved. The red shadow crashed about above her, but it couldn't hurt her at all.
"Come on, damn monster!" She waved her hand and smiled as she proudly waved her body inside the protective ring.
The monster was a snake, a blood-red snake.
She had fought many demons and subdued many monsters in her life, and most of them were snakes.
Back then, she was bitten by a snake in the mortal world and lay in bed for three months. That was why she hated snakes so much.
Her hatred followed her long sword as it struck forward. In an instant, the red snake was split into two and exploded from the sky above the cliff. It fell into the deep valley and disappeared.
Of course, the red snake was not Hong Chuchu. Otherwise, it would not have been killed by her so easily.
She told Di Sheng the story of herself and the snake, and Di Sheng also told her the story of herself and the wolf and the eagle.
She said that she also had a story related to wolves. It was called the story of Zhong Ming and the wolf.
"Alright, you have one more story than me!”
There was an appointment and wine.
Di Sheng did not ask Yun Xian 'er out, but the purple-robed girl.
They were also dealing with a snake, but it wasn't the one Yun Xian 'er had dealt with a few days ago.
Di Sheng suddenly puts down his wine cup and sighs: "I'm afraid there's no chance for her to resolve the grudge between her and the snake clan!”
"Let her be!" the purple-robed girl said. We don't care about her relationship with the Snake Tribe, but we have to care about the relationship between the Snake Tribe and the Demon Emperor!”
"Are you sure the information you got is reliable?”
"It's not reliable, but it's necessary to verify it!"”
There was no doubt that any news about the demon emperor had to be verified.
It was just that it was Di Sheng's first time hearing that the Demon Emperor was related to snakes.
The original form of the Eighth Generation Demon Emperor was a fish, and the original form of the Ninth Generation Demon Emperor was a scorpion. This was something that the entire Sword World knew.
Scorpions and snakes were both poisonous and could be used as weapons to attack enemies.
However, at the level of a Demon Sovereign, their own abilities were already extremely powerful, and they did not need to use poison as an aid at all.
As for snakes, if one's cultivation was high enough, there was no need to use poison as an attack or even defense.
However, all the people they saw were poisoned to death.
These people were all middle-aged men, dressed in farmer's clothes. In theory, they should be mortals.
They seemed to have died not long ago, so the murderer must not have run far. He might even have stayed in the forest to continue looking for targets to poison.
However, it seemed that the murderer did not just want to poison them, because these corpses were all sucked dry and turned into dried corpses. Moreover, there were signs of being tied up on their bodies.
All signs indicated that this was the work of the snake demon.
The snake demon used its body to wrap around them, then poisoned them, and then sucked their blood. For a poisonous snake that often sucked human blood, everything seemed to be smooth sailing.
Di Sheng discovered that the thing that left the binding marks on the dried corpse did not seem to be a snake, but something like a rope.
However, wasn't it unnecessary for the snake demon to tie people up with ropes?
"I think it's vines!"”
"Vines?" Di Sheng asked.
" That's right," the purple-robed girl said." Ordinary ropes can't possibly leave such a deep mark. Only vines, those vines with demonic nature, can do this!"”
Di Sheng said," That's what the tree demon did. However, the tree demon doesn't seem to need to rely on sucking blood to increase its cultivation!”
"Who knows?" Let's go take a look!"
They continued to move forward and found another dried corpse, one that looked even fresher.
Could it be that the monster was right in front of them, and it was opening its mouth to eat another corpse?
Di Sheng's judgment was correct.
As expected, they found the snake demon squatting in front of them, using yao arts to suck human blood into its mouth. It looked as simple as using a straw to suck in water.
Coincidentally, that snake demon was Hong Chuchu.
The moment the red snake saw Di Sheng, it turned around and tried to escape before it had even sucked half of its blood.
Di Sheng stretched out his hand and quickly pulled her over. Then he locked her with the sword chain.
Of course, Hong Chuchu would beg for mercy as usual and then say some sweet words, but Di Sheng just smiled coldly and ignored her.
The purple-robed girl shouted angrily and prepared to draw her sword to kill her.
Di Sheng said," For the sake of his sister, we'll spare her life for now. We'll continue to search for clues nearby and see if that person can still be saved!"”
"Her sister's reputation is really big. Since when did a snake demon become so respected?"”
" He's highly respected," Di Sheng said." But he still has to be treated differently. Besides, we haven't investigated the matter of the Demon Emperor yet, have we?"”
"There's no need to investigate, it's basically clear!"”
Then, she sighed in disappointment.
Di Sheng couldn't see the disappointed expression covered by the purple gauze, but he could definitely imagine it.
This swordswoman seemed to be more concerned about the Demon Emperor than anyone else, including Di Sheng.
Now, it had been proven that the demon emperor and the snake were not related. The so-called secret information that the purple-clothed girl had heard was also proven to be false.
The legendary demon emperor's true body was now nothing more than a corpse that had been sucked dry of human blood.
The lady in purple sighed again.
At this moment, Di Sheng discovered that the person in front of him still had a breath left. It seemed that he could still be saved.
However, just as he was about to save her, the man widened his eyes and said,"Be careful of the vines!"
After saying that, he closed his eyes again.
Di Sheng checked his pulse. Dead.
A dying man's words were kind, let alone a commoner who looked so simple?
Therefore, Di Sheng soon saw a vine, a vine that could tie people up and even eat them.
The vines increased in number and came from all directions like snakes.
Di Sheng was soon surrounded, and so was the purple-clothed girl.
The two of them swung their swords and slashed wildly. Then, they rushed out and discovered that the vines were not only going to attack them, but were also going to save the snake demon Hong Chuchu who was bound by the sword shackles.
Since when did the vine tree spirit and the snake demon become partners?
Di Sheng didn't have time to think about it. He immediately brandished his sword and stabbed at it. A miserable cry immediately sounded.
However, this cry didn't come from Hong Chuchu, but from the vines.
Vines could feel pain, bleed, and scream!
Of course, this was not an ordinary vine, but a tree demon, a willow tree demon that looked extremely similar to a vine!
The tree demon had turned into a human, a strange person with disheveled hair, green skin, and green eyes!
The strange man was lying on the ground, his body bleeding. He looked like he was dead, but he also looked like he wasn't.
Seeing that the snake demon Hong Chuchu had been rescued by the tree demons and then escaped, the purple-clothed girl was so angry that she killed five tree demons in a row. The scene was filled with thunderclaps. Then, it returned to silence. The vines disappeared, and the strange sounds also disappeared.
"Don't kill him!" Di Sheng hurriedly blocked the sword light." This is the last one. Let him live!"”
"Such a monster isn't eliminated?" The purple-robed lady asked coldly," Could it be because of that snake demon?”
Di Sheng said," If I don't get rid of him, someone else will. It's not too late to kill him after we understand the situation first!"”
The tree demon seemed to have heard Di Sheng's words. It slowly got up and waved its hand weakly."We didn't do it. That snake demon forced us."
At this point, the tree demon suddenly fell to the ground, dead.
"Maybe we really killed the wrong person!" Di Sheng sighed.”
The purple-clothed girl said," No matter what reason they have, the fact that they are the accomplices of the evil and take lives cannot be changed. Therefore, there is no question of whether they were killed by mistake or not. If you want to blame someone, blame them for taking the wrong path. And this path is the path of death!"”
What was a tree demon?
All living things have spirituality, including animals and plants. The spirituality changes and eventually becomes a demon.
Tree demons were not part of the three major tribes of the demon world. Firstly, they did not have enough influence. Secondly, it was inconvenient to communicate with them. They could not form a unified tribe because demons such as flowers, plants, and trees were usually in a static state. Even if they could move, they could not open their original bodies for a long time.
However, the threat of the tree demon was not small. A demon that had been around for a long time could take a person's life in a split second, and it could be done without anyone noticing.
Silently, a huge vine slowly stretched out, but Di Sheng did not notice it.
When he turned around, the vines quickly retracted, and Di Sheng continued to see nothing.
It was unknown if he was afraid or could not bear to hurt her.
However, it had to be said that the appearance of this vine was exactly the same as the one that had been killed before, but the thickness was obviously different.
