Chapter 364: The Eight Trigrams Become More and More Weird
"Jiangbei, come with me quickly."
Jiang Bei, who was still taking care of Luo Shiyu, was dragged away by Tian Changliu who suddenly rushed into the room.
"Where?"
"I found the perfect place to kill the demon."
"When a demon dies, its body will turn into miasma, contaminating everything around it. Are you sure you want to kill it instead of sealing it?"
"I'm sure you'll know when you see it."
Tian Changliu brought Jiang Bei to a canyon, where the masked man was waiting.
"Is this the place you were talking about? It doesn't seem to be anything special except that it's a little deeper."
"Don't be in a hurry." Tian Changliu said as he picked up the feather that the masked man had already prepared and cast the simplest levitation spell.
When the feather floated over the canyon, it felt like it weighed a thousand pounds.
He instantly broke away from Tian Changliu's control and fell heavily into the depths of the canyon.
"This..." Jiang Bei didn't believe it and tried it himself. He found that this canyon seemed to have its own rules and it was impossible to fly over it.
Tian Changliu nudged Jiang Bei with his elbow and said, "What do you think?"
"It's feasible, but it's a bit difficult to lure the demon over here. He's not a fool."
"Creating hatred, isn't that what you're best at? Killing his relatives and friends, sleeping with his wife and children, and so on."
"Huh? You think too highly of me."
"Do you want me to go? I don't have much fighting ability."
"Don't you have a divine weapon? Why can't you go up?"
"You want me to take the head of Hercules? No offense, no defense, and lecture the demon god? That would be very interesting."
"Aren't you the Heart of Hercules of the Contract? Big liar."
"Same here, you're holding the strongest Hercules' Grip and calling it a boot. I don't know who's the liar."
"Now that you know everything, where did you get the courage to point a dagger at my neck right away?"
“We were young then.”
"I'm old now?"
"That's younger than you."
"Huh? Say that again!"
The bickering between the two gradually turned into a fight.
Little did they know that this was their last harmonious time together.
At this time, Luo Shiyu was not infected by the cheerful atmosphere. He stood where he was, his legs shaking with fear.
Unbearable memories flooded into my heart like a tide, and I felt that if I took another step forward I would fall into a bottomless canyon.
This is where he fell into the devil and where his nightmare began.
The miasma of the demons who died here was absorbed by him, and the pain that penetrated deep into his bones is still unforgettable.
After an unknown amount of time, the masked man who was standing there enjoying the breeze was suddenly patted on the shoulder.
He knew who it was without looking back.
"Is something wrong?"
"Of course. I've sent Tian Changliu away to take care of Shiyu. Let's discuss how to defeat the demon god."
"Why talk to me?"
"We are the only two capable fighters right now. Shiyu is in a state where it will be difficult for her to recover from the loss of her spouse. Even if she could fight, I don't want her to get involved. I want to protect her heart, just like you want to protect Tian Changliu."
"I don't have any solution."
"I have, if you believe me."
"Go ahead."
"I want you to take the initiative to ask the God Emperor to lead the crusade against the Demon God. He will send you troops, but not too many. If you succeed, your achievements will be recorded by Tian Changliu. If you fail, it won't be a disgrace to the royal family, after all, it was you who took the initiative to go."
Afraid that the masked man would disagree, Jiang Bei emphasized, "But don't worry, I will prioritize your safety. It's okay if you don't want to, I'll think of another way."
"What's the benefit?"
"The advantage is that you can gain reputation, and Tian Changliu can secure the position of crown prince."
"No, I mean your good."
"My benefit?" This question stumped Jiang Bei. He scratched his face, thinking hard, and then said, "Maybe it's the happiness I gained?"
"does it worth?"
"I'm curious too. To be honest, I'm not a very brave person, and I get scared when I face those scary-looking monsters. But someone has to do something, right? As for rewards, well... do other people's smiling faces count?"
The masked man looked at the man who had been pretending to be strong, was silent for a moment, and said, "Wait for my news."
"Hey? Do you agree?"
There was no one around, and only the breeze responded to him.
"As long as the demon is eliminated, the story of this plane will be over, right? There will be a tough battle to fight next."
Everything happened as Jiangnan expected, and the God Emperor gave the masked man military power.
Jiangnan transformed into a fox demon and Jiangbei went on the expedition with him. Luo Shiyu, the fat sheep, naturally fell into Tian Changliu's hands.
barracks.
Only the masked man knew that Jiang Bei was a woman, so he prepared a separate tent for her and took extra care of her.
In the eyes of other soldiers who were still sleeping in the open-air camp, their relationship was too ambiguous.
In particular, the masked man often entered Jiangbei's tent alone. Although he came out quickly, it did not affect their wild thoughts.
The masked man lifted the curtain of Jiangbei's tent and asked, "Are you used to it?"
"What you said is not what I am destined to be."
"Have a good sleep tonight."
"Don't you want me to keep watch?"
"I'm worth it for you."
"Thanks!"
"Ah."
The next morning, Jiang Bei walked out of the tent, stretching lazily, his tail wagging behind him. It can be seen that he was in a good mood.
The masked man handed me hot soup.
"Did you sleep well last night?"
Jiang Bei took the hot soup, sat down next to the masked man around the campfire, and said, "Thanks to you, I slept well."
"Ah."
"Did you cook it?"
“I don’t have that skill.”
"That's right, you only know how to fight and kill, a violent and reckless man."
"I'm a reckless man, do you have a plan?"
"It's not really true." Jiang Bei said, picking up a small wooden stick and gesturing on the ground.
"The Demon God will definitely stay until the end, just like the final boss at the end of a level. He will never be the first to appear in person. We must take advantage of the Demon Clan's aloof and arrogant nature and defeat his followers one by one."
"If you say it, you haven't said it yet."
"Of course I know! Forget it, I won't get angry with you, a blockhead. Just in case, let's set a retreat signal first."
"Can't we just call for a retreat?"
"Tiger! Would the enemy be so foolish as to let you retreat?"
"That's right, what do you think?"
"I see you don't want to use your brain at all. Fortunately, I have already thought about it."
"Tell me."
"Five and zero scatter, three occupy and follow two, one will go his own way, and when the word 'go' is mentioned, he will run." (emphasis added)
"can."
"Then the retreat signal is set. Don't worry, if you encounter any danger, I will prioritize covering your evacuation."
"take care of yourself."
"I understand. I won't hold you back."
"That was not what I meant."
"What do you mean?"
"fine."
Their ordinary conversation seemed too ambiguous to the soldiers. After all, they all knew that the new general was a taciturn person.
The gossip escalated.
Later, it turned out that the new general was obsessed with male beauty and asked for suicidal thoughts eight times in one night.
Of course, these rumors, as expected, reached Tian Changliu's ears.
