Devil Sovereign: Consort Can’t Escape - C152
Mu Xiaoling looked out into the distance, but she didn’t see anything. At the end of the unmarked cemetery, there was a mound of earth where the heaven and earth seemed to meet.
She had no choice but to enter the unmarked cemetery. There were no clues here, so she could only go forward and look.
The unmarked cemetery was not quiet. The devilish bird calls were both unpleasant to hear and loud, as if there were thousands of ducks fighting over food. “The black wind, which was filled with the aura of death and devilish energy, occasionally gave off a whining sound, but it gave people goosebumps.
Mu Xiaoling had received special training when she was young in order to resist the terror of this kind of environment. She could find a place to stay at any time as she walked past a mound, past a coffin that was half open.
Just as she reached the center, something that didn’t match the scene suddenly appeared in front of her eyes.
It was a huge tree, and its trunk was so thick that it looked as if three people were carrying it. The leaves were lush and flourishing, and it did not seem like a place to be at all.
Gu Xiu had been observing the situation outside and was the first to notice the strange tree. “Master, people say that there is no place for life, first there is death, then there is life. This tree’s condition is actually stealing all the life in this place.”
“Let’s go over and take a look.” Mu Xiaoling walked towards the tree. However, before she could take three steps, the ground suddenly shook violently. A hand drilled out from the ground. It was the same as her eyes.
Mu Xiaoling called out the Spirit Abyss Slash and was about to touch her hands when she saw those hands coming out from the ground, revealing their original appearance.
“Demon corpse!” Mu Xiaoling was surprised. She never thought that there would be so many demon corpses in this place!
She immediately flew up and the dagger in her hand seemed to have come to life as it quickly pierced through the demon corpse’s heart. However, there were simply too many.
Mu Xiaoling looked around and suddenly found that the surrounding demon corpses were swarming towards her. Only the demon corpses next to the green tree were still moving around it, as if there was something scary inside.
Mu Xiaoling pondered over the situation with the endless demon corpses and the mysterious green tree. He then decided to head over to the green tree first.
It was always better to have one than to have so many.
Using the Spirit Abyss to use the Green Leaf Dagger, what was emitted was no longer the blade of the dagger, but black dots of light that turned into blades, scattering out in large areas, piercing through the surrounding demon corpses, temporarily creating a space. Although it was only a few seconds, it was enough for her to jump out of the encirclement, use the demon corpse’s head as a springboard, and jump close to the green tree.
It was strange that when she arrived at a position fifty meters from the green tree, she was only one step away. It was as if she had stepped into a non-existent barrier, and the demon corpses just left, and not long after, they all went back into the ground.
This situation didn’t make Mu Xiaoling feel relaxed. Instead, it made her even more vigilant. Every step she took, she would be ten times more careful.
However, the surroundings were very quiet. Outside was a dry land with tender green grass growing here, forming a circle surrounding the big tree. There was nothing in sight, and even the sound of the carrion birds and the wind seemed to have disappeared in a single night.
Mu Xiaoling looked around and walked to the other side of the tree. Suddenly, she noticed a young man lying under a tree on his back.
The man was young and was wearing an ill-fitting green shirt. His hair was light yellow, barely reaching his shoulders, and there were two hairs standing on top of his head. His eyebrows were calm, and his breathing was even.
However, was this person really as he looked?
Mu Xiaoling didn’t go to wake him up. She just stood there, not moving at all.
After an unknown amount of time, a leaf slowly floated down and landed on the man’s mouth.
His eyelashes moved and he slowly opened his eyes. His eyes were dull as he removed the leaf and looked at Mu Xiaoling.
The two of them didn’t move, just stared at each other until the man’s stomach let out a grunt that broke the silence.
The man frowned as he continued to raise his head to look at Mu Xiaoling while covering his stomach, “You …” Is there anything to eat? ”
“Yes.” Mu Xiaoling couldn’t help but pinch his lips as he heard this question. He took out some of the food from his spatial ring and placed it in front of the man before placing the chopsticks in front of him.
The man looked at the empty bowl and chopsticks in confusion. Then, he looked at the food in front of him, grabbed it and put it into his mouth bit by bit.
It could be said that the man’s actions weren’t that crude. He ate very seriously and slowly.
Mu Xiaoling wanted to say something about eating with chopsticks, but she resisted in the end. She could only watch silently from the side as the man finished all the food without leaving any juice behind.
After the meal, the man actually condensed a puddle of water and held it in mid-air, washing off all the oil stains on his face and hands.
After he had tidied himself up, he looked seriously at Mu Xiaoling. “Thank you.”
Mu Xiaoling asked, “Why are you here?”
“I don’t know.” The man’s eyes were blank. “I lived here when I was conscious, under this tree. Someone found out that I was being fed and told me to guard here and kill everyone near here.”
Mu Xiaoling didn’t have the time to be vigilant when the man’s voice suddenly changed and he said in a frightening and serious tone, “But I won’t kill you. You’re better than him, he only gives me sesame seed cakes and you give me meat. I’ll listen to you as long as you give me meat to eat.”
The corner of Mu Xiaoling’s mouth twitched. This guy was really easy to buy. A bowl of meat was enough.
At this time, Gu Xiu’s voice resounded in his mind, “Master, he seems to …” Not a human? ”
I have a feeling that his breath is very strange. He is clearly breathing, but it also contains a strange aura of death. He looks more like a corpse than a human. However, if Master can contract with him, it would be a great help.
“This …” Mu Xiaoling was a bit hesitant because it seemed that this man wasn’t a beast. Wouldn’t a contract restrict his freedom?
“Master can first ask for his opinion before making a decision,” Gu Xiu said.
“Fine.” Mu Xiaoling looked at the man again and asked, “What’s your name?”
The man shook his head. “I don’t have a name.”
Mu Xiaoling was silent for a moment. Then, he asked, “Are you willing to come with me?”
The man lowered his head desolately, “Actually, I lied to you just now, but I can’t leave the area of this grassland. Actually, I was originally a corpse, but only regained consciousness after a long time, but my range of movement since I came out from underground has been restricted to this grassland.”
