Chapter 55 The demon race has also become a target of the evil race!
The white bird and the flying tiger stopped in their tracks. A thin black mist flew out from somewhere in front of them. They tried to retreat but found that their feet were stuck and they could not move an inch.
The suffocating cold enveloped them!
Just then, a drop of blood suddenly splattered from behind them. The scalding blood hit the black mist directly, and in an instant, they felt warmth enveloping them.
"What are you standing there for? Come back here!"
The three of them quickly left the dilapidated temple. Without saying a word, Li Yang raised his hand and destroyed the temple, then turned to look at the white bird and the flying tiger.
"Demon Land, lead the way."
Li Yang's gaze held a serious coldness, as if she had been transformed from the little girl in the secret realm who evoked a strong sense of protectiveness.
Bai Niao was stunned by Li Yang's imposing presence and hesitated for a second before answering, "Yes."
……
Back in the demon land, Li Yang was invited to the main seat. To call it the main seat was a bit of a stretch; it was just the flower bud that had been 'eaten' and awakened last time, with a bamboo chair placed on it as her throne.
Li Yang rested her chin on her hand, deep in thought. Beneath her feet was a group of little demons gazing at her with adoration. She felt like a famous foreign statue displayed in a museum...
The white bird and the flying tiger stood beside her, heads bowed, not daring to speak.
Li Yang tossed a jade bottle to Bai Niao and watched quietly as she swallowed the pill.
"White Bird, tell me, what's the situation with the gerbils?"
Li Yang's tone was somewhat nonchalant, but it carried an imposing aura that compelled Bai Niao to submit.
"The white bird's aura has visibly improved," she said seriously.
"My Lord Demon King, a few days ago I sent a gerbil to investigate the whereabouts of a fox tail. Last night, just as it reported the news to me, it suddenly curled up on the ground in pain, and then it summoned all the gerbils in Fengyang Kingdom. Those gerbils attacked us frantically as if they had lost their minds."
The Flying-toothed Tiger looked at him with a puzzled expression, "Don't they have any rules and get attacked?"
The white bird shook its head. "They didn't retaliate. On the contrary, I suffered a lot of backlash from attacking them. If the Demon King hadn't come, I'm afraid we..."
"Look at those gerbils going crazy, don't you think they look like something?"
The white bird and the flying tiger looked at her. "What?"
Li Yang: ...
Now she understands why the demon race declined. With their inflexible minds, how could they possibly defeat the human race?
"I just watched for a while, and the way those gerbils rushed forward one after another looks a lot like the evil race."
"Isn't evil thought only generated among humans?" White Bird thought for a moment, then suddenly his expression changed drastically. "Oh no, the gerbil leader I was liaising with escaped in the chaos, and it looks just like it's been corrupted by evil thought."
Li Yang's expression was numb; the only useful information they could provide her now was the whereabouts of the fox tail.
"Let's talk about the whereabouts of the fox tail first."
"Right, right!" White Bird slapped his forehead. "Gerberus found out that one of the five major powers has a tail among them!"
"Five major forces?" Li Yang took a deep breath. "Couldn't you be more specific? With such a broad location, how can you be sure the gerbil isn't lying to you?"
"Probably not..." Bai Niao looked somewhat embarrassed. "The gerbil clan has been loyal to the Demon King for generations, so it's unlikely..."
Flying Tooth Tiger quickly added, "I don't think so. The gerbil has already betrayed the demon race, so the information I gave you is indeed hard to verify!"
The white bird looked troubled and stopped talking.
"Alright," Li Yang yawned, waving his hand with huge dark circles under his eyes, "Let's leave this matter as a question for now. Bai Niao, don't make any moves for now. We'll send someone to investigate this matter in a few days. Fei Tian, you stay here and keep watch. Report to me as soon as you have any news."
"Okay, girl."
Li Yang jumped off the flower bud and swayed as she walked out. The little ones who had been squatting nearby immediately surrounded her, their faces practically screaming "Please pat me!"
Moreover, the little ones are excessively sensible, knowing to offer the most comfortable parts of their bodies, but never letting Li Yang see their injured or damaged parts.
Li Yang poured a handful of pills from the porcelain bottle, squatted down, and said softly, "Sister is giving you candy balls to eat, one for each of you, don't fight over them."
The little animals jumped up excitedly and ran to Li Yang's hand in an orderly fashion. Each animal licked one of the animals' hands, and after finishing, they went to Li Yang's other hand to ask for a pet.
Li Yang smiled broadly; the pills she had refined after several sleepless nights had finally paid off.
The white bird and the flying tiger stood aside watching this scene. In the demon land, there was no night. At this moment, a beam of warm light shone on Li Yang's smiling face, and the fur of the small beasts surrounding her became visibly shiny.
"The Demon King is actually very good to us. Although she says she doesn't want to be the Demon King, she is truly sincere towards them."
"Alright, I have to go now. I'll come see you again next time!"
Li Yang tried to take them back, but the little guys couldn't resist following. The white bird picked them all up and said, "Demon King, let us take you back."
Li Yang's gaze immediately darkened. "Have you forgotten what I just said?"
"They just took the pills, so their wounds might itch. Don't let them lick them." Li Yang rubbed the head of the little beast in Bai Niao's arms. "Bai Niao, take good care of them. I'll feed them the pills again next time I come."
"Yes."
Li Yang waved her hand and walked out, "No need to see me off, the colorful cat knows the way back."
Before Bai Niao could figure out who the colorful cat was, the ethereal cat jumped into Li Yang's arms, and the two quickly disappeared into the darkness.
As the chill of the night gradually crept in, Li Yang couldn't help but hug the ethereal cat tighter, a cluster of pink flames rising in her hand, swaying gracefully in the darkness.
The wind blew through the trees and leaves, yet they remained motionless. Li Yang looked around and began to feel a sense of unease.
The ethereal cat felt Li Yang's right hand withdraw, and it raised its head. "Meow, Demon King, what's wrong?"
Li Yang tucked her under his left armpit, and his right hand summoned the Peach Moon Fan at some point. Just as the ethereal cat was about to speak, Li Yang's serious voice echoed in its mind.
"If anything happens later, find a place to hide."
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, a powerful attack flew from the front. In an instant, Li Yang threw the Phantom Cat away, and Peach Moon Fan immediately met it!
"Roar!"
The attack was thwarted, and what came next was a claw covered in black fur. Li Yang's pupils darkened, and her left hand instantly transformed into a pink claw to meet it. At the same time, Li Yang slashed forward with her Peach Moon Fan, and as black blood splattered, a sharp scream rang out!
Li Yang pushed off forward, using the momentum to fly backward.
The next second, a huge crater was blasted out of the spot where she had just been standing!
Li Yang looked up and saw a giant man with a rat-like nose emerge as the smoke cleared.
It really was that gerbil that ran away!
The gerbil's eyes were bloodshot, and it raised its paws and charged forward. "Demon...Slay!"
