Xiao Chen responded with a cold snort and said, "This is not a very funny joke."
"I have been through countless years of metamorphosis, what I am looking forward to is to be reborn. I am no longer a dead body now, I am a human with flesh and blood, I really don't want to kill anymore."
"How do you explain the few people you tore apart at the village entrance?"
"It was them who attacked me first, that girl shrouded in colorful mist can testify."
The demon sighed.
Xiao Chen remained unmoved, he said, "As if you were forced to do so. You have killed so many people before, how can a demon's nature change just like that? Furthermore, if you really restrained your viciousness, why would you force me to ask for the sapling? "
The underworld mist around the demon thickened, the gloomy aura pervaded the air once again. He said faintly, "The dragon island suppressed my power, making me unable to smoothly break through the shackles. That's why I have no choice but to absorb the yang energy once every few hundred years. Although I am already a living being with flesh and blood, I still lack some vitality. If I can't obtain the nourishment of the sacred tree, I have no choice but to absorb the yang energy on a large scale again. But I really don't want to kill anymore. "
"What a load of lies."
Xiao Chen didn't really believe what he said.
"Do I have to lie to you guys?"
The demon's pale face was exposed outside the black mist, he seemed very sincere as he sighed, "So what if you guys have the protection of the Syndicate Dragon King? Their blood can indeed restrain me, but can it really protect you guys? You guys should understand that if I really want to kill you guys, I can always find an opportunity. Other than that, what about the other people on the island, who can protect them? If I really want to kill, who can stop me? "
"Are you threatening us?"
"It's fine if you think so."
The demon sighed unceasingly, it made people's hair stand on end. He was a genuine demon, none of his words were a joke, reaping lives was nothing out of the ordinary for him.
"Someone is coming … …"
After saying this, the demon disappeared from the street ahead without a sound. And a miserable shriek resounded in the jungle in front of the village. The old woman and the old man's expression changed on the spot, it was obviously someone from the village.
"Stop, you demon!"
The little fatty shouted loudly. He led the Black Dragon King to the village entrance, and Xiao Chen and the others followed.
A terrifying black fog surged out from the forest, and the demon once again appeared a few dozen meters in front of them. His pale face was very calm, as if nothing had happened, causing people to feel a chill in their hearts.
"Give me the holy tree. I'll return it to you after I'm done with it. I promise I'll never kill anyone again. I'll try my best to be a good person. "
A sincere expression appeared on his pale cheeks. The demon was very serious and sincere, without a trace of pretentiousness.
The old woman and the old man were extremely furious. It was clear that the clansman who cried out miserably just now had already died. Their bodies were trembling slightly. Xiao Chen, the Solitary Sword Demon, and the others felt that this was extremely absurd. A demon who had killed people like flies actually wanted to turn over a new leaf …
"What is the origin of this Holy Tree you speak of? Do you really need it that much? "
Little Fatty raised his question.
"Sigh, that is the dragon's Holy Tree, I really need it. On this dragon island, it is the only thing that can turn me into a living person."
When the demon spoke, he always sighed, he looked very melancholic. He was not as heartless as when he attacked. It gave people a misconception, as if he was a lonely man.
When the few words "Dragon's Holy Tree" came out of his mouth, a huge wave immediately appeared in everyone's heart. Of course, the ones who were the most excited were still the two young Syndicate Dragon Kings. Both of their eyes emitted a divine radiance that was almost materialized as they slowly approached Xiao Chen and Keke.
Keke struggled free from Xiao Chen's embrace while panting with rage and jumped to the ground. It looked at the two Dragon Kings with the treasured tree hat on its head without the slightest fear. Although the little critter looked lively and adorable normally, it was emitting a formless pressure at this moment. The little thing actually wanted to carry out a battle to defend its dignity. It wanted to fight against two dragons at the same time. Xiao Chen knew Keke possessed an extremely powerful defense. If he was confined, it would be hard for him to break free. However, he had never seen Keke display any offensive power before, he didn't wish for it to fight against the two Dragon Kings. After all, it was really too young.
However, when Xiao Chen stretched out his hand to pull Keke, he was blocked by a light screen. Keke's spotlessly white body was flickering with seven-colored radiance. It was as if there was a seven-colored sacred flame throbbing around the little critter's body. It actually emitted an astonishing battle intent.
This was something that had never happened before, Keke was always lively and mischievous. "Belligerence" was not related to it at all. However, at this moment, it seemed to have subverted its previous behavior.
The Amethyst Dragon King was flickering with purple radiance, the Black Dragon King was flickering with black radiance, they were still pressing forward.
The dragon's Holy Tree was really too enticing, the few people at the scene were unable to calm down. However, they knew they couldn't let the Dragon Kings fight against each other. The girl shrouded in colorful mist and the little fatty tried to dissuade the two Dragon Kings unceasingly.
However, the two young Dragon Kings were unmoved. That was the dragon's Holy Tree, and now it was controlled by an unknown beast. They felt that it was already a disgrace to the dragon race.
"Squeak … …!"
Just at this time, Keke let out a tender cry. It stretched out its little claw and pointed at the treasured tree above its head, then it pointed at the forest filled with yin aura in front. After that, it took the lead and rushed out. The two Dragon Kings understood, they let out a roar and rushed towards the evil spirit.
Keke waved its little paw and shot out two rainbow-colored light screen towards the evil spirit in the underworld fog. And the pair of horns on the head of the two young Dragon Kings also burst out with glaring radiance, they transformed into two perfectly straight light beams and shot towards the evil spirit. It seemed like they wanted to determine the winner and loser with this kind of method, to see who was the real king.
The black mist rolled over and over violently, the demon disappeared from its original position. However, the three divine beasts seemed to be able to lock onto its aura, they followed it into the jungle directly. Amidst the Dragon Kings' roar and the sound of the towering ancient trees collapsing, that place was filled with dazzling rays of light and leaves swirling in the air.
All of a sudden, like a whirlwind, a piece of underworld mist floated over at high speed. The demon appeared beside Xiao Chen and the others without any sound. Its cold aura locked onto them, they felt as if they had fallen into an icehouse.
Keke transformed into a streak of white light and appeared on Xiao Chen's shoulder. The two Dragon Kings also rushed back respectively. The demon disappeared without any sound. All of this happened in an instant.
"You guys have already seen it, if I wanted to kill you guys just now, I would have had some chance, but I didn't make a move."
The demon sighed at a distant place. It said, "The Dragon Kings are really too young, although their blood can restrain me, they can't do anything to me when I'm on guard. On the contrary, if I had the intention to kill them, they would definitely be in danger. It's just that … … I don't want to offend the dragons. "
This was indeed a matter, the demon was unfathomable.
At this time. Everyone at the scene was a little hesitant. In the end, they looked at Xiao Chen and Keke. They were the key to this matter, everything depended on them to decide.
Keke was panting with rage on Xiao Chen's shoulder. It glared at the demon in the gloomy mist with its big round eyes. The sapling was the sacred tree that accompanied it as it grew up, it was even more so its food. After it was abandoned by its parents, only this sapling had been accompanying it. Don't think that it didn't care about it normally. However, if someone really came to snatch it, Keke wouldn't agree no matter what. "Little guy, I am only borrowing it. I will definitely return it to you in the future. Furthermore, I will definitely repay you heavily."
The demon revealed a gentle expression and revealed a pale smile towards Keke. This made everyone at the scene a little flabbergasted. The demon seemed to value Keke more than the two Dragon Kings.
Xiao Chen looked at the few people at the side. After observing for a short while, he knew what they were thinking. Even the Solitary Sword Demon, who had the strongest battle intent, also wanted to compromise. The demon was really unfathomable, there was basically no way to contend against him. Although they didn't know whether what he said was true or false, there was still hope after all.
After understanding their thoughts, Xiao Chen remained silent for a while. After that, he hugged the angry Keke tightly to prevent it from rushing over again. He said to the demon, "Since your target is the sacred tree, then come at me. Then come at me, it has nothing to do with anyone else. We will go to another place to discuss. Regardless of whether you succeed or not, please don't hurt other people anymore. This is the least you can do to show your sincerity. "
A trace of redness appeared on the demon's pale face. He nodded his head lightly and said, "My target is only the sacred tree. If other people don't stop me or attack me, I won't harm anyone anymore."
The approaching terrifying storm actually eased up just like that. Xiao Chen didn't turn around and walked out of the village with large strides. The two Dragon Kings chased after him while roaring. They didn't want the sacred tree to fall into someone else's hands.
The little fatty in the village hastily chased after him and pacified the Black Dragon King. He spent a lot of effort to persuade it to retreat. As a matter of fact, although the Dragon King was young, it already possessed intelligence. It deeply understood that its strength was not enough to take back the dragon's sacred tree.
"I hope you are safe and sound. I really want to make friends with you, I am called Oxman."
The simple-minded little fatty said to Xiao Chen in a low voice before retreating.
Oxman's name was a little funny, but it was hard for Xiao Chen to laugh. He nodded his head lightly and said, "We will be friends the next time we meet, I am called Xiao Chen."
The woman shrouded in colorful mist also walked over. However, she didn't want to take the Amethyst Dragon King away, she only wanted to pacify it unceasingly. She wanted it to stay by Xiao Chen's side and protect his safety.
"Thank you for your kindness. Keke is not inferior to the Dragon Kings. If even Keke can't restrain the demon, then even if there is another Dragon King by my side, it won't make a difference. "
Xiao Chen felt that the mysterious woman was indeed kind-hearted. He told her about the other two Dragon Kings with a barely audible voice. After that, he walked towards the mountain forest alone. The demon had already disappeared ahead of time with a surge of negative energy.
The snow-white little critter Keke was extremely intelligent, it clearly knew what had happened. It plucked the treasured tree from its head unwillingly, and hugged it tightly in its bosom for a long time. After that, it handed it over to Xiao Chen unwillingly with a very pitiful expression.
Xiao Chen smiled and said, "This is the sacred tree that accompanied the little monster since it was born. How can I give it to someone else? Besides, that is a demon, I can't trust him, and I also can't make contact with him. "
Keke didn't want to be called the little monster. It grabbed a lock of its long hair in annoyance and pulled it lightly. After that, it still handed the treasured tree over to Xiao Chen.
"Don't worry, the little monster still doesn't need to hand over the sacred tree. He must have some misgivings. Otherwise, how could a demon negotiate with us and not seize it by force?"
"Squeak … …"
Keke's big eyes immediately brightened up. Its long eyelashes blinked unceasingly, but in the end, it lowered its head dejectedly. It compared its own height and the demon's height in a funny manner. It seemed to be saying that it was still very young and couldn't defeat the demon.
Xiao Chen was amused by its mood. He said with a smile, "I see you sleeping all day long, and those Dragon Kings are fighting every day. They are thinking of ways to increase their strength. You are not inferior to them, you have to work hard. If you want to be able to fight against the demon, you can't be this lazy from now on. "
The snow-white little critter grabbed Xiao Chen's long hair in annoyance and pulled it lightly. After that, beyond Xiao Chen's expectation, it nodded its head solemnly and put on the treasured tree hat. It jumped from Xiao Chen's arm to his shoulder and began to meditate to adjust its breathing.
That's right, it was meditating to adjust its breathing!
This made Xiao Chen open his mouth wide in shock. Keke was actually sitting cross-legged like a practitioner. It closed its pair of bright big eyes, its long eyelashes were no longer blinking. Moreover, its whole body was emitting a faint multicolored splendor. It seemed as if it had already entered into an ethereal state.
Xiao Chen's current mood couldn't be described with words anymore. Keke had given him too many surprises. How could a little critter have this kind of performance?
However, after walking for a few miles in the jungle, Xiao Chen was completely speechless again. That was because he heard a light snoring sound. The little critter actually fell asleep while sitting cross-legged on his shoulder.
Speechless … … completely speechless.
It's hard to change one's nature, Xiao Chen really didn't know what to say about this little critter.
