While they were waiting for their meals, Lonemoon managed to get the information he needed from the garlic demon. The 'Lord' that it mentioned was indeed the spirit seed. All the tree demons in the forest, including the garlic demon, were influenced by the spirit seed to turn into spirits. Among all the trees, the garlic demon was the first to become sentient. That was why all the trees in the forest listened to its commands.
But not long ago, the spirit seed was suddenly captured by a demon from outside. In order to snatch the spirit seed back, the trees chased after the demon and forced it into the volcano. The trees were afraid of fire and did not dare to come close. They could only wait there and not let the demon come out. But this did not seem to be of much use. At that moment, the two sides were at a stalemate.
"So it looks like the spirit seed has already taken human form?" Lonemoon frowned as he recalled the garlic demon's description. He looked at Shen Ying and said, "Not only can the spirit seed take human form, it can also take human form?"
"It can!" Shen Ying nodded. "The spirit seed has sentience to begin with. It has a human form, doesn't it?"
Then why didn't you say so earlier!
The corner of Lonemoon's mouth twitched. He picked up the pace of clearing the bowls and chopsticks. "Hurry up and find someone!" Only then did they fly towards the volcano. The closer they got to the mouth of the volcano, the higher the temperature. Even he could feel a hint of heat. The few of them indeed felt a hint of familiar original Qi. But because the thick smell of lava diluted this aura, there was also a hint of demonic Qi in it.
Lonemoon immediately set up an isolation array around the three of them. Instantly, the surrounding heat was swept away. He turned back and reminded them, "Look at the demonic Qi in the volcano. It must be a high-level demon. Be careful!" With that said, he flew in.
Indeed, once they entered the volcano, they were greeted by the intertwining demonic Qi and original Qi. Their surroundings were a fiery red. From time to time, lava would spurt out. The few of them dodged and flew towards the bottom of the volcano, following the direction of the original Qi.
The deeper they flew, the more spacious their surroundings became. Moreover, thick smoke billowed and visibility became very low.
"Master, this rock wall …" Yi Qing suddenly spoke.
Lonemoon turned and saw that there were many caves in the inner walls of the volcano. They seemed to have been specially carved out. His heart sank. Holy shit! The demon that took the spirit seed wouldn't have dug a hole and escaped, would it? The garlic monster was indeed unreliable!
"There's demonic Qi and the aura of the original source on it," Yi Qing added. It was obvious that it had been opened by that demon.
"F * ck!" Lonemoon cursed. There were so many caves, where were they going to start? "Let's choose the cave with the thickest aura and enter."
"Do you want to go in?" Shen Ying tilted her head and looked back at him.
"Nonsense!" Lonemoon replied subconsciously. "If we don't chase after it, will the spirit seed jump out on its own …"
Before he could finish his words, he suddenly heard a rumbling sound from below. Something smashed into the ground, and instantly, the tallest pillar of lava in the middle collapsed. Two silhouettes instantly appeared below, and instantly, demonic qi surged up to the sky.
"It jumped out." Shen Ying pointed down and replied.
Lonemoon: "…"
Yi Qing: "…"
It really came out by itself!
(⊙_⊙)
The corner of Lonemoon's mouth twitched. He looked down and saw two men, one tall and one short. The shorter one was a young man, and he had a terrified expression on his face. The taller one was dressed in a dark green robe, and his body was very muscular. Faintly, one could see the bulging muscles under his clothes. He was holding the young man's collar and raising his fist to punch the young man's face.
The most important thing was that from the moment the two of them appeared, the thick original source aura and demonic Qi instantly filled the entire volcano. The burly man seemed to be extremely angry. He punched the young man over and over again. With every punch, the original source Qi weakened a little, and the demonic Qi on the burly man's body became thicker.
"That's the spirit seed?" Lonemoon turned to look at Shen Ying.
"Yes, it is!" Shen Ying nodded affirmatively.
Seeing that the young man's aura was getting weaker and weaker, the burly man suddenly pressed one hand on the young man's forehead. In an instant, the young man's original source Qi surged towards the burly man. He was absorbing the original source!
Lonemoon's heart sank. He shouted, "Demon, stop!"
Shen Ying was stunned. Just as she was about to say something, "Father Niu …"
But Lonemoon had already flown over. At the same time, a ray of sword Qi swept towards the burly man. As if sensing danger, the burly man turned around. There was still a murderous look in his eyes, but he suddenly froze.
In the next moment, the burly man was sent flying with a loud bang and smashed into the ground.
Lonemoon used a spell and fixed the burly man on the ground. He turned to look at the young man on the ground. He was already on the verge of death. His body was covered with wounds. Lonemoon frowned. He used a water-elemental healing spell. Only then did the burly man feel a little better. The original source Qi on the young man's body also slowly stabilized. But he looked at the few of them with even more fear. He even shrank back.
"Don't worry." Lonemoon spoke up to comfort him. "We're here to bring you back!"
The fear in the young man's eyes did not disappear. Instead, he looked at Lonemoon even more warily. But because of the aura around Lonemoon, he did not dare to move.
Instead, the burly man who was sent flying looked furious. He wanted to rush over unwillingly, but he was fixed in place. No matter how many times he tried, he could not get up. He could only stare fixedly in Lonemoon's direction, looking like he wanted to pounce over.
Lonemoon glanced at it. Instantly, the Sword Qi on his body pressed down even more. "Evil creature, how dare you touch the spirit seed!" Fortunately, they had arrived quickly. Otherwise, the Qi of the original source on the other party's body would have been sucked dry.
The burly man was stunned. A hint of madness flashed across his face. He struggled even harder. His mouth moved as if he wanted to say something. But no sound came out. Once again, he was suppressed by the sword Qi. Lonemoon frowned. The strange thing was that he could not see through the burly man's true form. Why were the demons in the Void Land so strange?
He ignored it and turned back to look at the young man. After such a big circle, he finally found the spirit seed. He did not care whether the young man was willing or not. He directly picked him up and looked at Shen Ying. "When can we open the plane gate and go back?" He had to complete his mission first.
"Mm … tomorrow?" Shen Ying replied.
"Then let's go out first." Lonemoon then flew up on his sword, planning to leave the volcano.
Shen Ying turned to look at the burly man on the ground. Suddenly, she reached out and pulled him up. "Chef, bring him along!"
Yi Qing hesitated, but still obediently picked him up. "Yes, Master."
"Why are you still bringing this demon?" Lonemoon turned back to look at her. To be able to survive in this volcano for so long, he must be fire-elemental. It would be fine to leave him alone.
Shen Ying moved her lips, about to say something.
"Forget it!" Lonemoon directly turned his head away. He did not care too much. "Remember to open the plane gate on time tomorrow. I've had enough of this stupid place."
"…"
Only then did they fly all the way out and directly landed on the flat ground in the middle of the forest outside. The garlic demon from before had not left. When it saw the few of them flying out, its garlic leaves straightened up.
Without waiting for them to land on the ground, it immediately hopped towards them, its voice full of excitement. "My Lord! You're finally back! " With that said, it jumped up and plunged head first into … the hands of the burly man beside Chef!
"Lord, I missed you so much!"
Huh?
Yi Qing: "…"
Lonemoon: "…"
Holy shit! What the hell was that?
