#117 - The whole family went out to the demon commander's tent
On a mountain path.
A tall, red horse was pulling a carriage, galloping.
If you looked closely, you would find that this carriage was strange.
Neither the horse's hooves nor the wheels were touching the ground.
The horse's posture was so magnificent that it seemed to break free from the shackles of this mortal world and head straight for the heavens.
Its mane danced wildly in the wind, like fluttering red silk.
Its hooves landed without making a sound, yet they shook the surrounding air, and each landing seemed to create a mysterious resonance with the earth.
Leaving behind trails of faint spiritual light.
"Little Horse, not bad!"
At the front of the carriage, a monkey squatted, pulling the reins with its furry paws.
However, it wasn't the monkey speaking, but a colorful snake coiled on the carriage shaft.
The colorful snake raised its head, flicking its tongue, and enjoying the thrill of riding in a horse-drawn carriage with great interest. It opened its mouth and praised the steed pulling the carriage.
This caused the steed to raise its head happily and neigh a few times.
"Squeak squeak! Great King! Great King!"
Seeing this, the golden-haired, blue-faced monkey shook the reins in its hand, as if to say, why does the Great King only praise the horse pulling the carriage and not me, the monkey driving the carriage?
"Great Sage, you're great too!" The colorful snake didn't hesitate at all and immediately praised.
For those who work for us, a word of praise is nothing, just give it when they want it.
Xu Chengxian never held back.
"Squeak squeak! Great King, can we run faster?" The Great Sage blinked and asked.
"Okay! Run faster! Accelerate!" Xu Chengxian immediately agreed.
Shouting, "Woo hoo!"
So, the speed of the carriage increased even more.
"Xu Chengxian, if you have nothing to do, go back to sleep," Ling Xiao's voice came from inside the carriage.
Although the carriage was accelerating, there was no bumpy ride.
After all, this was a carriage of the lower-grade magic artifact level.
It was inlaid with formations that allowed it to leave the ground and move forward, and of course, it could also maintain the stability of the carriage.
So, she purely disliked Xu Chengxian's strange screams for being too noisy.
"I'm not sleeping. I won't be able to sleep for long before I wake up again," Xu Chengxian slid down from the shaft and slipped into the carriage with a whoosh.
Ling Xiao had said before that, at Little Horse's pace, it would only take a cup of tea to reach Wangyun Mountain—converted, that's about ten to fifteen minutes.
He had been sleeping all the way, so he might as well take this opportunity to feel the feeling of a fast horse.
Inside the carriage.
Ling Xiao and Ling Yunzi sat facing each other.
"Leaving Xiao Cui and Dai Dai at the ferry, will there be any problems?" Xu Chengxian came in, sat in the main seat in the middle, and asked with some concern.
This trip of theirs didn't just include the three of them, as well as a Great Sage and the demon beast Little Horse pulling the carriage.
Dai Dai and Bai Xiaocui also came.
In addition, there were also two little demons—Cat Nineteen and Rat Laibao.
They were all left at the ferry closest to Wangyun Mountain on the big river.
That's right, this time, they could be considered to have mobilized the entire family.
However, Dai Dai was too big, and she didn't cultivate the art of size transformation. Bai Xiaocui had recently broken through to the eighth level and was estimated to be molting soon, so she was too lazy to move.
Therefore, they didn't go ashore.
"What problems could there be?" Ling Xiao snorted softly, "As long as we are fine, they will be fine."
"That's true," Xu Chengxian thought, that's how it is.
When they came, they took the waterway.
The Northern Wilderness Mountains have never been a safe place.
On the contrary, it would not be an exaggeration to say that there are hidden dangers everywhere, and fights and killings can break out at any time.
Slaughter is everywhere.
Fighting for cultivation resources is equally cruel and bloody no matter where it is.
The land of the demon race is only more naked and direct.
The spirit stones in Ling Xiao's storage bag, the spirit pills refined by Ling Yunzi, the spirit plants on Dai Dai's back, and even the flesh and blood of Xu Chengxian's family are all things worth snatching.
Especially the Bu Ling Dan produced by the Bai Mansion, it is probably already famous.
You have to be careful this time you go out.
Because sea monsters will sneak in, the big river is the focus of attention for demon generals everywhere.
Relatively speaking, it is less likely to be attacked by 'unknown' enemies.
Moreover, Dai Dai's Purple Gold Wind Chasing Turtle's bloodline can also be regarded as insurance.
Therefore, traveling upstream on the big river is the safest and fastest.
Along the way, they really didn't encounter any trouble.
Since there were no problems on the way here, the chances of something happening at the ferry near Wangyun Mountain are even smaller.
"Sister, are you so confident that we will be able to obtain the Flood Dragon's essence blood?" Xu Chengxian suddenly thought of the reason why Ling Xiao wanted to bring Dai Dai and Xiao Cui along, and couldn't help but ask.
The reason for mobilizing the whole family is very simple.
Ling Xiao believes that the road back after obtaining the Flood Dragon's essence blood may be even more dangerous than the process of fighting for it.
It's better to refine it in the royal city where the demon king is located after obtaining it.
In addition to the Flood Dragon's essence blood, other spiritual objects obtained are also planned to be handled in this way.
The emphasis is on keeping it safe.
Powerful beings like demon marquis and demon kings will not attack them because of a drop of essence blood.
And with them suppressing them, those who covet the essence blood will not dare to act blatantly.
Since this is the case, of course, Dai Dai and Bai Xiaocui must be brought along.
Bringing Cat Nineteen and Rat Laibao is because they came from the royal city, and they might be useful then.
It's good to run errands.
Because almost the whole family came, in order to reassure the demon beasts and little demons of Luyang Mountain, they also deliberately left a few Transformation Pills in General Yu's hands to reassure everyone.
Reputation and credibility must be maintained.
If the reputation is ruined, it will be difficult to repeat the old trick in the future.
Being so mobilized, Xu Chengxian was really curious about how confident the empress sister was.
"Hmph, don't worry, I have my own plans," Ling Xiao said confidently, "As long as you follow my arrangements, we will be sure to get this Flood Dragon's essence blood."
"Your Majesty, you promised that you would not put this seat in trouble," Ling Yunzi, who was closing his eyes to rest, said at this time.
"Of course," Ling Xiao raised her eyebrows and smiled, "My golden words always carry great weight."
"Then this seat also promises to be at Your Majesty's disposal in this matter," Ling Yunzi said.
"Okay, it's a deal," Ling Xiao nodded.
Then she looked at Xu Chengxian: "Old Ghost, what about you?"
"Me?" Xu Chengxian blinked, "Is there anything I need to do in this?"
This old man doesn't even have a human form.
What could he possibly do here?
"Whether there is anything for you to do is up to me," Ling Xiao said, "Do you listen or not?"
"Listen," Xu Chengxian nodded.
He thought to himself, I'm just a little colorful snake now, how could it be my turn to be a live-in son-in-law?
Even if he wanted to, Marquis Bishui wouldn't recognize him!
So at most, it would be to **** Ling Yunzi.
Everyone will benefit from getting the Flood Dragon's essence blood, so it is right to contribute.
So he agreed very readily.
"Very good, then it's settled," Ling Xiao said with a satisfied smile.
"Neigh—"
"Squeak squeak!"
At this time, the voices of Little Horse and Great Sage came from outside.
The speed of the carriage slowed down.
Wangyun Mountain has arrived.
