A Demon’s Path

The extreme south of Yaotian Continent is a barren land, where all kinds of insects, snakes, beasts and poisonous medicines abound.

Since ancient times, people have always held an attitude of fear and staying away from that wild land. Even if they knew that there were countless precious medicinal materials and precious metals there, they still could not move people's hearts.

Compared with fate, everything else is just a cloud.

Of course, there are also a small number of desperate people or those who are extremely crazy about profits go there to seek gold, but very few of them can come back alive.

Even the very few survivors who came back kept secret about it and never mentioned it.

Therefore, not many people knew the danger in that wild land.

There are books related to this wild land in the Seven Soul Demon Chain of the ancestor of the Seven Demons, and there are only a few words that are as thin as clear porridge: prehistoric remnants.

Ling Xiao didn't care about danger or not, since he promised Shen Mingfang to do something, he should naturally do it for Shen Mingfang.

Men can be insidious and cunning, but they must keep their promises, especially when they promise beautiful women.

Especially a dying beauty.

With a little urgency, Ling Xiao drove the flying boat towards the extreme south.

Looking down at this land without human footprints, Ling Xiao couldn't help feeling a strange feeling in his heart.

Along the way, he has seen dense virgin forests, pure natural alpine lakes without artificial traces, a series of waterways with nine twists and seventy-two bends, and even ancient buildings with broken walls.

If the primeval forests and alpine lakes gave Ling Xiao a feeling of returning to nature, then these ancient buildings with human characteristics gave Ling Xiao another inexplicable feeling.

There is not just one place with ancient buildings, but many, just like the current Yaotian Continent, where one city and one town are distributed.

In the past, there should have been people living here, and the environment seems to be not bad. Why is it like this now?

With a little curiosity, Ling Xiao put away the spaceship and landed in one of the relatively large ancient buildings.

Walking on this empty road, Ling Xiao seemed to be walking in a strange world, a strange scene formed in Ling Xiao's mind.

Bustling streets, tall buildings, and bustling crowds passed by.

On the street, there are snack sellers, fruit stalls, and jugglers, as long as there are now Yaotian mainland, there are also here.

These mortals live humble and ordinary lives, contented and happy.

A four or five-year-old child ran excitedly on the street, and his mother followed behind anxiously, stepping on delicate small steps and shouting: "Xiaobao, don't run!"

"Oops!" The child accidentally fell in front of Ling Xiao, his "body" passed through Ling Xiao's body, and fell on the ground behind Ling Xiao, then got up, crying loudly: "Woooo, Big brother is a bad guy, big brother tripped me up!"

The little boy pointed at Ling Xiao while crying.

Ling Xiao's heart sank suddenly: Did this little guy really trip over me?

The young woman hurried over, picked up her child, pointed at Ling Xiao's nose angrily and cursed: "You bastard, you don't have eyes when you walk! You tripped my little treasure, Can you afford to accompany me if it breaks?"

The young woman's vivid expression, as if she really saw Ling Xiao, made Ling Xiao startled.

The young woman seemed to be unrepentant, she glared at Ling Xiao and said, "What's wrong? Is it okay to keep silent? You bumped into someone and you're still a child, shouldn't you apologize?"

Ling Xiao's face twitched violently. Is this an illusion, or is it real?

Are they all "alive"?

But I didn't feel any fluctuation of soul power!

People around on the street looked at Ling Xiao with contempt, and accused him one after another: "Such a big man tripped up his little child, so he didn't even say an apology?"

"That's right, it's too hateful!"

Facing the accusations of these "people", Ling Xiao took a deep breath, as if he had made a difficult decision.

"Little brother, I'm sorry, it's uncle's fault." Ling Xiao apologized to the little boy sincerely.

The little boy suddenly stopped crying, and made a funny face at Ling Xiao, and then said to his mother: "Mom, I want to have a whisper with this big brother."

The boy's mother was a little surprised, but she still handed the little boy to Ling Xiao.

Even though it was a phantom, Ling Xiao reached out to hug the little boy, and even hugged the little boy in his arms!

Suppressing the shock in his heart, Ling Xiao didn't show anything, and listened attentively to the little boy lying next to his ear and giggling: "Brother, I'm sorry. I ran around for fear that my mother would scold me. That’s why I deliberately touched the one that fell on you.”

Ling Xiao smiled wryly, such a cunning child must be very big when he grows up.

Ling Xiao smiled and patted the little boy's "head": "It's okay, little brother, remember, anyone can lie to anyone in the future, but you can't lie to your mother... Oh, you can't lie to your mother, you know?"

The little boy asked curiously, "Why?"

Ling Xiao said very seriously: "Because, grandma and your father are the best people in the world to you. If you lie to them, if they ignore you and leave, no one will want you." .”

The little boy looked puzzled: "Who is Daddy?"

Ling Xiao was surprised at first, but then quickly understood, and then said with a chuckle: "Daddy is the one who lives with you and your aunt."

The little boy said very happily: "So you mean Abba. Abba is a bad person!"

Ling Xiao couldn't help asking casually: "Why?"

The little boy's happy face turned into an angry one: "He bullies grandma all day long, presses grandma under him, and grandma screams so pitifully..."

"Haha..." Everyone around heard the little boy's childish words, and laughed, which made the young woman utterly ashamed: "Xiao Tao, what nonsense are you talking about? Go, go home!"

Without further ado, the young woman snatched the little boy back from Ling Xiao's grasp, and the little boy was so anxious that he shouted loudly: "Uncle, remember to come to my house to play, my house is at No. 6, Gujing Lane!"

"I will definitely come when I come back next time." Ling Xiao smiled and nodded, watching the little boy and his mother go away.

"You must mean what you say!" As the young woman and the little boy left Ling Xiao's sight, the surrounding figures gradually became blurred until they disappeared.

The tall buildings and the beautiful scenery along the street also turned into broken arms.

A gust of cold wind blew, and the sand hit Ling Xiao's face, pulling Ling Xiao back from this strange situation.

dream?

Ling Xiao frowned, it was impossible to have such a dream.

is that true?

How is this possible!

Those people have only shadows, no body, not even the fluctuation of the soul, just like a kind of illusion.

But his own feelings clearly told Ling Xiao that he was indeed communicating with these people just now!

how so? how so!

Ling Xiao shook her head violently a few times to wake herself up.

"Forget it, I didn't come here to solve the unsolved mysteries of the world, these unreasonable problems, don't worry about it." Ling Xiao restrained his thoughts, drove the flying boat, and continued to fly towards the swamp ahead.

On the ground, those figures and tall buildings gathered together again, and these people continued their lives.

The little boy in the young woman's arms looked at the sky curiously, and asked childishly, "Grandma, this uncle can fly, so amazing! Tell me, can he save us?"

The young woman looked sad: "Silly boy, you have seen a lot of uncles like this, why do you still ask such a question?"

The little boy showed determination: "This uncle is different. The previous uncles ran away in fright when they saw us, but this uncle promised to come to us!"

The young woman smiled wryly: "Xiao Tao, do you still remember the time when that uncle who came to look for you was frightened crazy?"

The little boy still didn't give up the obsession in his heart: "Don't worry, Mom. For tens of thousands of years, this uncle is the one I like the most. If even he can't save us, Xiao Tao will never go out on the street again. "
