Chapter 263

"You're saying that you're chasing after the young demon?"

In the corner of the canyon, Shien, who was carrying Ai Yi, heard the news that Jacinta revealed, and he couldn't help but frown.

"I see. Have you found it?"

Ai Yi also narrowed her eyes, and her expression was rather cold.

Jacinta stood in front of the two of them, and his eyes still glanced at Ai Yi, who was in Shien's arms from time to time. Looking at the cold look of his little master, the bitter smile on his face became even thicker.

Jess and Liz, who were standing behind Jacinta, were completely at odds with each other like the last time they met. There was only reverence, and they didn't even dare to breathe heavily. They looked so weak, helpless, and pitiful.

But it was these three people who just grasped the lifeline of this matter.

According to them, after coming to this canyon, they ignored the alchemists, and had no interest in the human forces that intervened in this ritual. From the beginning, they took action against the young demon that was the center of the ritual.

"The alchemy ritual is a magic ritual that uses the young demon as the source. As long as it appears on the ground, the ritual can be carried out at any time. There is no need for any extra preparation and steps."

"It can be said that the young demon is the core of the alchemy ritual, and is also the key to the ritual."

"Therefore, in order to stop this ritual, the only way is to kill the young demon as the core source. Otherwise, unless the almighty Supreme God Omnys takes action, even the three goddesses and the six demon dwellers can't stop this ritual."

That was what Jacinta said.

Therefore, his goal from the beginning was very clear, which was to find the young demon and kill it.

After dealing with the young demon, the alchemy ritual would naturally stop, and then they could slowly deal with the subsequent matters.

Based on this action plan, Jacinta and the other two did not continue to fight in the canyon, nor did they want to solve anything else. They just focused on tracking the young demon and tried to find it.

This was not an easy task.

"Both the mother and the young demon have a skill, which is to be able to switch between reality and illusion. They don't have a physical body, but they are not incorporeal either. Instead, they are half-physical and half-incorporeal between reality and illusion."

Jacinta said.

"Before the last alchemy demon as a sacrifice is born, the young demon that has not devoured it will be very weak, but it will always be in a semi-solid state, hiding in the land covered by the ritual, lurking and moving freely. Only when the last alchemy demon as a sacrifice is born will it appear, devour the sacrifice, and grow into a part of its body."

Jacinta's words reminded Shien of the young demon that he encountered before.

Indeed, the other party had only appeared and attacked him and Rosie when the aura of the demonic creatures in the mountain had disappeared.

It was indeed half-corporeal, hovering between reality and illusion. Even the [Demon Sword] could not kill it. Even if it was injured, it could instantly recover. It was like a mirage, illusory and erratic.

If it wasn't for the fact that the unsealed Holy Sword was an artifact that could even kill the Demon King and restrain Demons and monsters, then even if it could suppress it, it wouldn't be able to kill it, right?

Fortunately, it was Shien and Roland who encountered the young demon. Otherwise, if they encountered a young demon that couldn't be killed and could spit dragon's breath, and its level was as high as 90, no matter who it was, they would be exhausted to death.

Under such circumstances, even if the young demon hadn't devoured the last alchemist, devoured the sacrifice, and grew up, its characteristics meant that it couldn't be easily dealt with.

It was also difficult to find it. Because it was between reality and illusion, it was difficult for people to detect its aura and magic power. Once it was hidden, ordinary people couldn't find it at all.

Shien still remembered that it was the same for him and Roland. It wasn't until the young demon rushed out of the ground and was about to attack them that they noticed its existence and avoided it by a hair's breadth.

Putting Roland aside, Shien had two max level perception-type skills, and he also had the detection and warning effect of the wand. However, he only noticed the attack in such a thrilling situation, which was enough to explain the problem.

In view of this, Jacinta and the other two had been tracking the young demon. Based on some clues that ordinary people couldn't detect, they finally caught the young demon's whereabouts.

"Then, we searched all the way here and met … the two of you here …"

Jacinta said and cautiously glanced at Ai Yi.

Ai Yi didn't even look over there. She still had that expressionless look on her face.

This made Jacinta feel a little helpless.

Because he really couldn't figure out what this little master of his was thinking.

Although Jacinta had some understanding of Ai Yi and knew that she rarely intervened in some troublesome things, it didn't mean that she didn't have her own opinions.

If it was some trivial matter, then this little master couldn't be bothered to care. Even if she encountered it, she would just listen by the side without any expression and wouldn't say a word.

But this time, it wasn't a trivial matter.

The young demon and the demon refining ritual, that was a secret of the Demons. It was also a tumor and taboo that all Demons wanted to eliminate.

In the face of this matter, even if it was his little master, it was impossible for him to remain indifferent.

If she didn't intervene in this matter at all and let him do everything, then it would be reasonable for her to be indifferent like this.

But she appeared here and still didn't say a word. That could only mean one thing.

The problem was that she gave the right to decide and the right to speak to the man who was holding her as if nothing had happened.

In other words, this little master of his was simply led by the human in front of him.

(… If this were to be spread back to the Demon Realm, it would definitely turn the sky upside down.)

Not to mention the Demons, even the five sisters of his little master would be alarmed, right?

Thinking of this, Jacinta became more solemn toward Shien.

Before this, Jacinta had faintly sensed Sean's extraordinariness.

But at that time, he didn't regard Shien as a threat, so he was just interested in him.

Now, Jacinta didn't dare to face Shien with this mentality anymore.

This was an existence that could make his little master obedient.

Although he didn't know how he did it, but with this alone, the other party's status was enough to go straight up, to the point that even a character at Jacinta's level had to be afraid.

And …

(Not only the kingdom's treasure, but even the master is so concerned and interested in him …)

Jacinta didn't think that there was no reason for this.

Therefore …

(This human is definitely more complicated than what I, or even everyone else, had imagined.)

Jacinta completely valued Shien for this.

This made Jacinta couldn't help but say.

"Originally, the Demon Refining Ritual and the Seventh Demon are the shame that we Demons don't want other races to know. We have always blocked the news in this aspect, not letting the Protoss and the human race get it."

"Fortunately, the Demon Refining Ritual has only appeared in the Demon Realm so far, never in the human realm, so we can successfully block the news."

"But this time, since Qing already knows the secret of us Demons, I want to know Qing's attitude."

Jacinta looked straight at Shien, asking word by word.

"Can you tell me, what do you want to do here?"

His solemn words caused the atmosphere to change somewhat.

Shien raised his brows again.

Immediately …

"Are you worried about something, sir?"

Shien said with a smile that didn't look like a smile.

"Don't worry, at least, on this matter, I am on your side, or should I say, on this little girl's side."

With that said, Shien patted Ai Yi's little head in his arms.

That action, which was like patting a ball, made Jacinta's face twitch.

Damn, can you be gentler?
