People in Xumi: I am really not the Dragon King

Chapter 268: The Resurrected Demon God and the Tired Ying
In the southwest corner of Qingce Village, in a dark and damp cave,

Jiang Xi, who had prepared a lot of self-defense powders on him, was groping forward cautiously.

Although from the previous situation, there is a high probability that there are other treasure-stealing groups here,

But for her who was prepared,

In this closed terrain that is different from the outside world, a few thieves who are usually idle are not an unsolvable problem.

——A pharmacist from the lineage of Chen Yugu, who was initially active at the end of the Demon God War.

And the skills that have been passed down to this day in such a turbulent era are not just for curing diseases and saving lives.

I won't mention some of the methods used to deal with bandits.

She was able to use the demon residue to help her family survive, and she had been exposed to this kind of thing for many years without being affected too much.

The experience of the ancestors during the Demon War is also a very crucial factor.

But what is very unusual is that
Gracilaria, who was always ready to strike first,
Until they were close to their final destination, they did not see any traces of the treasure-stealing group's activities.
Not only that,

As she continued to move forward,

She found that in the entire mine, apart from the slight "clicking" sound of water dripping,

It was like a pool of stagnant water, without any sound that could indicate life activities.
Even the croaking of frogs and chirping of insects that used to be heard could no longer be heard.

"."

Gracilaria was silent.
Faced with such an abnormal situation, she stopped and began to seriously consider whether to continue walking forward:

——If nothing unexpected happens, the blood of the Chi that seeped out onto the ground from inside has most likely undergone some changes due to the activities of the treasure-stealing group.

Combined with the fact that the treasure-stealing groups had revealed that they wanted to take away the "treasures" used as talismans,
She now even doubted whether the internal seal had been broken.

"."

"Why do these treasure-stealing groups always think that treasures that suppress the remnants of the demon god can be taken away at will?"

When I think of those greedy people,

Jiang Xi felt a little tired of seeing these guys who not only often lost their lives but also often left a lot of mess behind.

".According to the records of the ancestors, I should leave as soon as possible.

But once the seal is broken, there may not be any safe place in the entire Qingce Village."

".If the legendary "Chi" has left the seal and can move freely,

Then I shouldn't have had time to react before I was devoured."

"."

Finally, thinking of the disastrous consequences that would be caused by the release of the remnant of the demon god inside,
Jiang Xi judged that the seal was probably not yet completely broken, so he decided to take a look from afar.
——If possible, try to stop the treasure-stealing groups.

At the deepest part of the cave, in front of the pool where the blood of the dragon once flowed.

Before using this thing to make medicine, I had anticipated that I might encounter the remnants of the demon god.

He tightly grasped the powder that was prepared according to the legend of his master, which was said to interfere with the judgment of the demon remnants.
Try to take a look inside from a distance before entering the core area of ​​the cave.
But before she could move forward to a suitable distance,

I heard a burst of hurried footsteps coming from the cave behind me.
!!!

Is it the treasure-stealing group? When?!

Gracilaria instantly raised his alertness.
Because of the unexpected situation, he hurriedly tried to find a shelter nearby to hide himself.
But before she could take any concrete action,

Then I heard a very anxious shout from behind me:
"——Miss Jiang Xi, be careful, there may be remnants of the demon here!!!"

"."

After hearing this familiar voice that called out my name,

Jiang Xi, who was originally planning to hide, paused and realized that the group coming from behind might not be the treasure-stealing group he had imagined.

But the moment she saw the scene behind her,

The icy-cold Gracilaria had no time to think.
He decisively threw the powder he had prepared at the blonde girl in front of him and her companion:

——Behind that unique pair that I had only met once,

The shadows on the cave walls seemed to solidify into something solid, wriggling strangely like some kind of soft-bodied creature.

The two visitors in front of her seemed to be completely unaware of the situation and instead were reminding her to pay attention to their own safety.

It was at this moment,
Jiang Xi also helplessly understood why he was able to reach the deepest part of the seal safely:

——The demon remnants here obviously have a considerable degree of intelligence. They seem to be able to plan a reasonable hunting sequence based on the threat level of their prey.

——The seal had most likely been broken long ago, and he was not swallowed directly, but was just used as bait to lure reinforcements into the trap!
"——Hold your breath! Watch out behind you!"

No time to think too much,
Even though he felt that he and this pair were in great danger,
But Jiang Ge still wanted to try to resist.

next moment,
Perhaps it was because the "demon remnants" in the previous sentence triggered some set conditions,

Or maybe it was a hunter hiding in the dark who wanted to devour the food in front of him as quickly as possible.
The shadows on the surrounding caves quickly gathered together like flowing water.
This dragon-shaped shadow blocked Ying and Paimeng's escape route.

He also directly attacked the most tempting prey in front of him:
——Although the light-minded demon god who was once called "Chi" had completely lost his consciousness,
But even if it only exists as the remnants of the demon,

He was also fully aware of the indescribable attraction of the two prey in front of him.

——The intuition in the dark told it that as long as it could successfully devour the two guys in front of it,
Even returning to its former heyday may not be impossible!

With the help of the cracks in the seal, he mobilized some of the remaining strength of his body, and with his greed almost overflowing,
This powerful demon remnant, born from the blood of Chi,
This raid was carried out with a force that was no less powerful than that of an immortal.

!!!

At the moment when Jiang Xi reminded her, Ying had actually already realized the abnormality behind her.
But after all, this demon remnant had been preparing for this attack for a long time.
When the voice came, the cold breath was about to touch her and Paimon's bodies.

In this situation where there is no reaction time,
To ensure the safety of the guides around you,
She could only protect Paimon in her arms as quickly as possible, and at the same time concentrate all her strength on the rock element shield behind them.
He tightly grasped the green crystal that he had been using to guide the way.

She hoped that after withstanding this blow, she could use the recycling item given to her by the scholar to solve the problem here.

At the moment of being hit,

A thought that seemed somewhat unrelated to the current situation flashed through Ying's mind:
Why am I not surprised at all by this?

I know that any task assigned to me will not be solved so smoothly.
——I hope this tool, which was originally used for "cleaning", can also be used to fight monsters.
Otherwise, I can only use the divine power crystal to solve the problem.
"Boom——" As the materialized shadow collided with the golden rock element shield,
Ying and Paimeng were knocked into the mountain wall, and were also dizzy from the loud noise that followed.

But after realizing that the intensity of the attack he received was much lower than he had imagined,
Ying didn't feel relieved at all, but instead felt more and more troubled:
——Although the demon remnant who originally intended to pursue the victory paused for a moment because of the powder sprinkled by Jiang Yu, giving her time to react,

But the task item that she had been holding in her hand was directly knocked away and fell on the open space to the left of the demon's remnants.

"."

Taking advantage of this opportunity, he quickly regained his balance and sent Paimon to Miss Jiang Yu.

Ying took out his weapon.
Looking at the demon remnant that blocked his path and prevented him from picking up the item,

She also complained in her heart somewhat helplessly:
".Although I had anticipated the difficulty of the mission, isn't this a bit too much?"

"——Why did even a remnant of the demon god know how to make a feint to the east and attack in the west to destroy the quest item in my hand first?"

That's right,

The seemingly fierce attack just now was not aimed at her and Paimon at all.

The guy in front of him seemed to be able to accurately identify what would pose a real threat to him.
He directly knocked the prop that was originally used to solve the problem away, forcing himself to face it head-on.

"."

Sensing the greed and malice coming from the remnants of the demon god,

I felt that it was impossible to escape with Paimeng and Jiang Xi from this thing.

Ying, who was just delighted at having found the mission location, sighed helplessly.

Finally decided to face this guy who was not originally in the plan head-on:
——After all, judging from the attack just now, the strength of this thing is still within her tolerance.

I have some confidence in my body's defense.
In order to save the props for saving his life in front of the gods,

Ying decided to try to get rid of this dark "slug" with her own strength first.

at the same time,

Not far from the seal core, a white-haired woman was clearing out the alien monsters emitting black energy.
Try to move towards your destination as fast as possible.

——This was Shen He, who entered the cave after Ying because he sensed the remnant of the demon.

For some reason, the remaining demons in the core area seemed to have discovered her existence long ago.
There were many traps set along the way.
He even separated a part of himself and controlled the monsters to delay her arrival at the battlefield.

It seems that he is eager to achieve something during this time gap.

There is a vague sense of foreboding.

Shen He no longer needs those red ropes to suppress his own strength, but still maintains this state out of habit.

To further increase the speed,

He decisively lifted the seal that his master had placed on him, and fully unleashed the power of his destiny and magic.

next moment,
As the suppression effect of the red rope was lifted, an unprecedentedly strong icy aura spread from her side.

It's like a wide range of fields has been opened up.
In an instant, the monsters that blocked her way were transformed into crystal ice sculptures, and could no longer stop her.

"boom--"

Shen He lightly tapped his footsteps on the ground, and accelerated through magic, even causing a roar in the surrounding air flow in the cave.

……

When she arrived at the battlefield in this form and saw a blonde girl confronting a dragon-shaped black shadow,
However, there was no sign of joy on Ying's face due to the arrival of reinforcements.

On the contrary, the other party seemed to become more helpless because of her arrival.

But the next moment,
After seeing the actions of the remaining demon god,
Shen He also understood why the blonde girl in front of him made such an expression.

——The moment the balance on the field was completely broken,

The demon remnant, who seemed to have been hesitating about something, finally made the final decision.

Originally, he wanted to wait for the crack in the seal to expand further before occupying the shadow of the Chilong's body.

Under the fear of extinction, he finally gave up guarding the green crystal.
After knocking the thing to the side of the blood pool, it drilled directly into the crack in the ground.
Choose to merge the still alive body of the Chilong sealed in its current state.

Meanwhile, during the battle, Ying had vaguely sensed that this guy still had some hidden cards that he hadn't used yet.
Maybe the hanging heart finally died,

For a moment, I even had the urge to look up at the sky:

——Didn’t you say at the beginning that this was just a simple errand task?
I can fight against the remnants of the demon god, but I am not without the ability to fight back.

But why do I feel that if we continue to fight like this for a while, we will have to face the devil directly?
"."

"Boom——"

There was a loud noise caused by a rock collapse.

In the face of Ying who was not surprised at all,
A huge head whose specific shape could no longer be seen suddenly broke out from the ground beside the blood pool.

The remains of the Chilong, which was originally sealed underground, looked a little strange due to thousands of years of suppression.

But even with its current broken body, it is already beyond the reach of ordinary beings:

——The remains of the demon god dominated by resentment and hatred, this is an existence that would be called "evil" even in ancient times.

If the body is relatively intact, sometimes even the legendary Yaksha requires the cooperation of several people to handle it.

But just as Shen He on the side showed an expression of fear of facing a formidable enemy,
Ying, who had fought with the other party for a while before, felt relaxed:
——At the moment when it just appeared and could not move freely,

Paimon, who had been hiding nearby and looking for an opportunity, seized this great opportunity.

Taking advantage of his flying units, he picked up the green crystal that was knocked down at the beginning, and brought Jiang Xi back to Ying and Shen He.

"."

".Do you think this thing is less threatening because its power has increased so much?"

"I don't know if it can still be effective against an enemy of this strength."

He shook his head and temporarily suppressed the doubts in his heart.
Because the enemy in front of him was completely beyond his ability to handle, and the situation couldn't get any worse.
Ying, on the other hand, felt a sense of relaxation from the bottom of her heart:
——Anyway, the enemy has reached a point where I can’t handle it no matter how hard I try, so there’s no point in worrying about it.
Why not just try out the mission items issued this time?

If it really doesn't work, then I can only activate the divine power crystals that I and Paimon have as insurance.
