Mortal Bones

On Danxia Ping.

The moon and stars are sparse, and the heaven and earth are silent.

"Huh? Did you hear footsteps just now?"

A peacock demon guard looked in the direction of the locked bald eagle with some vigilance.

"There's no sound of footsteps? It's just the sound of the wind."

The other peacock demon shook his head disapprovingly.

"I must have heard wrong."

After carefully confirming that there were no outsiders on Danxia Ping, the peacock demon who first thought he heard footsteps nodded, and then continued to patrol around Danxia Ping with the other peacock demon.

"call……"

Seeing this scene, Xu Taiping, who was hiding under the wings of the bald eagle queen mother, let out a sigh of relief.

"Young man, who are you and why did you risk your life to come here?"

A gentle voice came into Xu Taiping's mind.

Obviously, the messenger was the bald eagle tied up with the demon rope next to him.

She is also Bai Yu's mother.

When Xu Taiping landed, Bai Yu's mother had actually discovered him, and when the peacock demon guard noticed him, she immediately covered him with her wings.

"Aunt Yeque, I am Xu Taiping from Qingzhuju. I think Uncle Baihong mentioned me before."

Xu Taiping sent a message to Ye Que.

This method of transmitting sounds from the soul at close range is very simple. Fairy Lingyue taught him a long time ago.

"You...are you the child Bai Hong talks about?"

Nightbird's voice was surprised.

Obviously it knew Xu Taiping.

"Child, please go quickly. The Maurya King will come to inspect me every hour. Nine soul-locking nails have been nailed to my body. The demon power has been almost completely sealed. There are also two demon-binding ropes tied to my body. Just because you are Can't save me."

It spoke to Xu Taiping in a somewhat urgent tone.

Upon hearing this, Xu Taiping felt warm in his heart and thought to himself, Aunt Nightqueen is indeed a kind-hearted monster just like Uncle Bai Hong.

He felt that his decision tonight was the right one.

"Aunt Nightqueen, I brought Bai Yu to see you."

Xu Taiping opened the gourd lid as he spoke.

"Bai...Bai Yu?!"

Night Bird's voice that reached Xu Taiping's mind was full of shock.

Immediately afterwards, the white feather transformed into a skylark flew onto Xu Taiping's shoulder.

"Mother!"

When White Feather Spirit transmitted the message to Night Bird, he did not shy away from Xu Taiping.

"Child, are you, are you still alive?"

Nightbird's voice was full of surprise and disbelief.

"Mother, it was Taiping who saved me, and I begged him to bring me to see you this time."

Bai Yu said via voice transmission.

"You idiot, you just did it on your own, why would you bother Taiping? Don't you know that the Peacock King showed me to the public for seven days just to lure out the remnants of the Bald Eagle clan?"

Night Bird's voice suddenly changed from the loving one before, and became full of rebuke and reproach.

"But mother, how can the child not come to see you?"

Bai Yu's tone was full of grievance.

"Aunt Nightqueen, Bai Yu and I have already discussed an escape route. Even if we are discovered, we will be able to escape intact."

Xu Taiping explained through a voice transmission while pulling the white feather to hide it in the night bird's feathers.

"I'm hurting you, Taiping."

Nightbird's tone became loving again.

"Aunt Nightqueen, you and Bai Yu can chat slowly. I'll help you keep an eye on the guards."

Xu Taiping shook his head and said.

"Then it's all your fault."

Night Bird's voice was filled with gratitude.

Then, Xu Taiping stopped listening to the conversation between Night Bird and Bai Yu. He only looked at the patrolling guards ahead and paid careful attention to the surroundings.

"Sister Lingyue, is there any way to save Bai Yu's mother?"

Xu Taiping asked Fairy Lingyue in his heart.

"You can't pull out the soul-suppressing nail, you can't untie the demon rope, you can't take it away at all, and if there is too much movement here, it will definitely attract the Peacock King."

Fairy Lingyue said she was helpless.

After hearing what Fairy Lingyue said, Xu Taiping had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​saving Night Bird.

"Peace."

After a cup of tea, Night Bird's gentle voice sounded in Xu Taiping's mind again.

"What's wrong, Aunt Nightbird?"

Xu Taiping asked via message.

"There is definitely no way to escape this time, so I want to transfer all the original demon blood and demon elixir in my body to Bai Yu. This will take at least half a stick of incense. I have calculated that it should be able to be done before the Peacock King comes to inspect. Done, can you wait for us for half a stick of incense?”

Night Bird asked Xu Taiping a little embarrassedly.

"no problem."

Xu Taiping thought about it and nodded in his mind.

"well……"

At this time Fairy Lingyue suddenly let out a long sigh.

"What's wrong, Sister Lingyue?"

Xu Taiping asked with some confusion.

"For the demon clan, forcing out the original demon blood and natal demon elixir is a more painful thing than killing them."

Fairy Lingyue explained.

Xu Taiping glanced at Bai Yu when he heard this, and found that it seemed to be refusing.

However, Bai Yu failed to defeat Night Bird in the end, and was swallowed by Night Bird in one gulp.

Then, Xu Taiping saw that the night bird's body was trembling and the pores under the feathers were oozing blood.

"This is a way of inheriting the bloodline of the demon clan. Let the demonic beasts with the same bloodline enter your body, suck your original demonic blood, and swallow your own demonic elixir."

Fairy Lingyue, who noticed Xu Taiping's doubts, gave him an explanation.

"No wonder Bai Yu doesn't want to..."

Hearing Fairy Lingyue's words, Xu Taiping couldn't help but feel his heart tremble.

"Hahaha, hahaha!~"

"Bai Yu! I have expected you to come for a long time!"

"Want to inherit the demon blood? Dream on! You, mother and son, will become the blood food of our clan together!"

Just after a cup of tea, a burst of shrill laughter and an overwhelming pressure suddenly came from the sky above Danxiaping.

"Is that the Peacock King?"

Xu Taiping immediately recognized the aura of the Peacock King and immediately became alert.

"Hateful! It's just a little bit worse."

After hearing this sound, the Bald Eagle King Night Bird let out a long sigh with a somewhat painful tone, and then said decisively to Xu Taiping: "Taiping, you take... take Bai Yu and leave. I will crush the demon pill and fight to the death to stop him." It’s a while!”
