Chapter 352: Ten Thousand Year Demon Pill

"you--!!!"

"Stop making noise! Someone's coming."

Lan Huaiqing interrupted the two of them in time and frowned.

Tian Yanyan's lips trembled, and she immediately gritted her teeth and closed her mouth, glaring at Miao Kaijie hatefully.

Miao Kaijie didn't even glance at her, his eyes were indifferent and looked in a certain direction.

He naturally sensed someone approaching, and had already laid down silk threads that were invisible to the naked eye, or simulated a spider's web, a hundred meters away. As long as there was any breath approaching, he would know it immediately.

But this time the visitor seemed too sensitive. Not to mention the web, he didn't even touch the silk threads hidden among the leaves. He only got close at the beginning, but then moved away.

Miao Kaijie's eyes turned and narrowed.

It looked a little tricky, yet familiar.

Miao Kaijie was stunned when he accidentally caught a glimpse of the suddenly elongated tree shadows, and then burst out laughing.

"How did you find it?"

Lan Huaiqing turned around. Tian Yanyan was startled, but before she could say anything, a figure walked out from the shadows of the trees and gave her and Lan Huaiqing a cold look.

"What a coincidence."

Chen Mo saw the two men's cultivation at a glance and turned to Miao Kaijie: "Have you seen Qin Xiao and the others?"

"No." Miao Kaijie shrugged, his expression seemingly unchanged from before, but Lan Huaiqing could clearly sense that he was much more relaxed. "Want to go together?"

"It doesn't matter." Chen Mo looked at Tian Yanyan again, then at Miao Kaijie, frowning slightly, but said nothing.

"Did you meet anyone?" Miao Kaijie saw that he was hesitant to speak, but instead of answering him, he changed the subject.

"...I met him." Chen Mo looked away, his tone calm, "It's not important."

"Alright then." Since Chen Mo said so, Miao Kaijie didn't ask any more questions, "Is there a time limit for this first round?"

"No." Lan Huaiqing answered him, "Until the final ten places are decided."

Miao Kaijie nodded thoughtfully: "I see..."

"Qin Xiao?"

Qin Xiao suddenly stopped, his pupils shrank, and he stared at the beautiful woman in front of him with a half-smile on her face.

Her snow-white hair fell to her ankles, and her clothes hung loosely on her body, revealing a large expanse of snow-white skin, as smooth and delicate as the finest jade. Every glance and smile of her beautiful face was so breathtaking, like the first gurgling spring of water melting on the edge of Kunlun Mountain at the turn of winter and spring.

A beauty has the brightest eyes, which are as bright as the sun, and as high and mighty as the sun, unattainable.

The beauty pursed her lips and smiled gently at Qin Xiao, full of charm.

"Are you happy to see me?"

The cold voice echoed in his ears. Qin Xiao's face turned pale. He couldn't help but take a step back, and his body began to tremble unconsciously.

How could...how could I see him here?

Qin Xiao's pupils trembled violently and uncontrollably, his brain was almost blank. Seeing the person in front of him approaching, he couldn't help but take another step back.

"you……"

Mo Ze seemed a little surprised by his action. He raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Why? You seem surprised to see me?"

Qin Xiao's lips and teeth began to tremble, and it was difficult to describe his feelings at the moment.

What on earth is this——

Did Mo Hanyu recover his memory? No, no, how could it be possible... how could it be so fast—

Or was this the Mo Ze that existed only in his memory, within the mustard seed fragment? He had indeed seen many "passersby" before, and was certain that this fragment recorded a part of the original world, but he couldn't be sure how long ago it was.

Qin Xiao's brows twitched, and his whole body seemed to be frozen in place, staring at the smiling person in front of him. Suddenly, a flash of lightning passed by, and he noticed something strange.

No, if she could regain her memory, she would never be able to speak to him so calmly. Mo Ze could read the hearts of all things. Even if she lost her memories of this life, she would know everything in an instant. It was impossible... to do this—

"I'm asking you, why don't you speak?" The person in front of him spoke again. His familiar tone and appearance seemed no different, but there was a strong sense of amusement in his eyes, as if he was looking at an interesting toy.

Qin Xiao suddenly came back to his senses, took a few steps back, and clenched his fists.

He is not Mo Ze.

Mo Hanyu did not recover his memory!

Very good.

Qin Xiao couldn't explain why he was so thankful. If Mo Hanyu hadn't recovered his memory, then the person before him would either be an illusion or a formidable enemy capable of extracting his memories and transforming into an avatar. Neither of these two things was a good thing to feel thankful for.

but……

Qin Xiao closed his eyes uncontrollably and breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, he hasn't yet.

Otherwise, he really didn't know how to face him.

"Why don't you answer?"

The person in front of him spoke again, his eyes suddenly became weird, and his smile was bewitching, as if he wanted to reveal his heart to you as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Who... are you?" Qin Xiao stared at him warily.

Not long ago, Qin Xiao looked at a somewhat familiar valley and felt that it was very similar to a place he had visited with Mo Ze. He just didn't know if it was real. After all, those memories were too distant to be compared.

To verify this, Qin Xiao decided to enter the valley, following his hazy memories. Those fragmented memories, like elusive ropes, gradually led him deeper into the jungle. Yun Wangmei had no idea what he was up to, but since he was still in the competition, it seemed like a good idea to tag along and see if there were any strays he could take out.

But just as they pushed aside a dense drooping branch in front of them, a thick fog spread out without warning, separating the two of them.

The moment the fog came, Qin Xiao turned around and wanted to catch Yun Wangmei, but unfortunately he was still a step too late.

Qin Xiao could only explore alone in the fog. He was unsure whether this was something hidden in the forest or if it was caused by humans. After all, before entering the competition, the organizers had emphasized that there were powerful monsters in the forest - so-called monsters, should they refer to the demon clan?

Qin Xiao surrounded himself with Yuan Qi so that if anything approached him he could immediately discover it. He explored forward for who knows how far when suddenly a strange wind blew and dispersed the fog in an instant.

This strange wind was not like a naturally generated air current, but rather like a person fanning a fan, coming violently and leaving cleanly without a trace, disappearing without a trace after dispersing the gray mist. Qin Xiao's eyes also reappeared.

There was no doubt that he had now entered the valley. There were towering trees all around him, and the shrubs around him were very short, not even as high as his thighs. In front of him was an open area, sunny and green.

Qin Xiao walked slowly, but didn't expect to hear a voice behind him. His back shuddered and he turned around suddenly, but he didn't expect to see such a scene.

The beauty lowered her eyelashes slightly, holding a folding fan. The edge of the fan was plain white, and Qin Xiao could tell at a glance that it was made of polished bone, and the fan surface—

It's human skin.

Qin Xiao frowned, thinking that this thing should not be a human.

"Why don't you say anything? It really makes me sad."

The beauty smiled, and her figure flashed. Before Qin Xiao could react, that beautiful face was already close to his face. He instinctively resisted, but was easily taken in.

The thing in front of him, who knew what it was, pinched his fist with just three fingers, staring at him with a smile, and its eyes suddenly turned a strange purple as it stared into his eyes.

Qin Xiao was suddenly startled and closed his eyes instinctively, knowing roughly what this thing was.

"Qin Xiao, be careful!"

Yun Wangmei's voice suddenly rang out, but Qin Xiao didn't open his eyes to check. Since the demon before him could imitate Mo Ze's voice and appearance, it might also be able to imitate Yun Wangmei's voice.

Then he heard the sound of something heavy falling to the ground, accompanied by the crisp sound of a tree trunk breaking. Yun Wangmei's voice sounded again, and he seemed to be vomiting blood.

Qin Xiao still didn't open his eyes. A pitch-black long sword suddenly appeared in his hand. He swung it violently, and the force in his fist loosened. The demon took a few steps back and easily dodged.

"You—"

Qin Xiao opened his eyes. The demon opened his folding fan, half covering his face with a look of astonishment, as if he was very surprised by the knife in his hand.

Of course, since he could transform into Mo Ze's appearance, he must have seen him before. The demon race had a keen sense of smell, so they could naturally sense Mo Ze's aura.

Qin Xiao turned his gaze slightly to the side, and sure enough, Yun Wangmei lay prone on the ground in the distance behind the demon, the tree trunk behind him broken, spitting blood. He struggled to get up, but fell to the ground again.

"……interesting."

Qin Xiao thought that this monster would retreat. After all, almost everyone who had dealt with Mo Ze had been tortured by him, and some even trembled with fear when he mentioned it.

But the demon was only surprised for a moment, then laughed, seemingly unconcerned: "No wonder you reacted like that when you saw this face, you know him."

"What is your relationship?"

The monster smiled, and several rosy purple demonic patterns appeared on its breathtakingly beautiful face. It looked evil and arrogant, and its eyes were filled with unparalleled arrogance, as if it didn't take the two of them seriously at all.

……Impressed.

Qin Xiao's eyes twitched, and he didn't know how to describe his feelings.

This thing is at least tens of thousands of years old, and they are definitely no match for it.

This is incredible luck.

Next time someone says he's lucky—

Qin Xiao clenched the knife in his hand, secretly sighing in his heart, somewhat glad that he had not fallen behind in his cultivation of vital energy in his previous life. At least he had one more method.

but--

Before Qin Xiao could finish his thought, the demon suddenly seemed to be attracted by something and turned to walk towards Yun Wangmei.

Yun Wangmei spat out blood and tried to get up with his arms. A shadow enveloped him and a chill spread throughout his body. Just as he was about to do something, he was grabbed by the neck and lifted up.

"That's strange...you—"

The monster's eyes turned purple, and he reached out and took out a round, glowing object from Yun Wangmei's body.

Demon pill!

Qin Xiao immediately understood what he was going to do, and with a thunderclap, the demon disappeared from the spot.

Yun Wangmei slid down the tree trunk. Qin Xiao fed him a pill and was about to say something. Yun Wangmei struggled to his feet and shouted, "Give it back to me!"

For some reason, Yun Wangmei suddenly felt a huge panic in his heart, as if he was about to lose something important.

"Hmm...it's still a bit strange after all."

The monster weighed it twice, touched his chin, frowned, and heard his words, glanced at him, and said with a smile: "Ten Thousand Year Fox Demon Pill, what a waste to give it to you."

"Give it to me, this thing will have a meaning of existence."

As he said this, he casually threw it into his mouth as if jokingly throwing peanuts into his mouth at a banquet, and swallowed it with a roll of his Adam's apple.

Yun Wangmei's head buzzed and his brain went blank. He stared at the monster who was licking his lips and savoring the taste. His heart suddenly contracted and a sadness that emanated from the depths of his soul instantly overwhelmed him. His whole body was cold, his Adam's apple was tight, and he almost screamed.

Qin Xiao was stunned, watching the demonic energy of the monster rising at an incredible speed. When he narrowed his eyes and enjoyed the powerful demonic power overflowing from his body, he suddenly grabbed Yun Wangmei and ran away.

Yun Wangmei had not yet come to his senses and was dragged ten miles away by Qin Xiao before he reacted. He struggled to go back, but was held down by Qin Xiao.

Qin Xiao stepped on lightning and fled the valley at top speed. Fortunately, the demon had no interest in pursuing him. When he reached a safe distance, he looked back. The powerful demonic energy in the forest had already submerged the mountain and forest. The entire forest was immersed in this terrifying pressure. No one dared to look up, and even the trees seemed to be leaning over.

"Qin Xiao, let me go!"

Yun Wangmei suddenly broke free from Qin Xiao, his eyes bloodshot, and he lost his composure like never before: "I want to find him——"

"What are you looking for him for? Are you going to die?" Qin Xiao's voice was calm, not angry at his loss of composure. "You know you can't beat him. You couldn't beat him at the beginning, and now that you've swallowed that demon pill, you're no match for him at all."

A ten thousand year old demon pill, this is no longer a pie in the sky, even the golden jade vein cannot compare to it.

"But he, he took—"

Yun Wangmei's pupils kept shrinking and he was extremely excited, but he didn't know why he was so excited. He opened and closed his mouth, but couldn't form a complete sentence.

"So what? Do you have any special feelings for it?" Qin Xiao said coldly, "That thing is of no use to you. You haven't lost anything even if you lose it. Why are you so excited?"

Yun Wangmei stared at him blankly, his lips trembling constantly. He wanted to refute but couldn't find any reason.

Yes, that thing came out of nowhere. Normally, he could only keep it in his soul sea, which was of no use at all. Now that he has lost it, there is no regret...

It should be like this...

Yun Wangmei's brows twitched, and the pain from his soul made him bend down involuntarily.

The monster broke eight of his ribs, but he was basically healed after taking the pills Qin Xiao gave him.

but why--

Yun Wangmei covered his heart tightly and frowned.

Why does it hurt so much? It's like something is holding me down, I can't breathe... Why does it feel like I've lost something I absolutely cannot lose?

Why...it seems like something important is getting away from me?
