Chapter 374: Snake Demon

The sun soon set.

The veil of night silently shrouded the entire mountain range.

This was the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons.

The same dark night, the same mountain forest.

Everything before their eyes seemed to have no changes, only in the air, there seemed to be a few more breaths that were not quite the same.

One naturally could not linger at the entrance.

After entering, Luo Zijun and Shui Wu immediately found a random path and walked forward.

Behind them, in the shrubbery near the mountain wall, two members of the Demon Clan with horns on their heads were lying there, fast asleep.

"By the way, what kind of demon is your wife?"

After the two entered a patch of mountain forest, Shui Wu suddenly asked.

Seeming afraid he would misunderstand, she hurriedly explained: "I heard from Father that the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons is very large, and each tribe is a small kingdom, with their territories located in different places. Therefore, we can only find her if we know which tribe your wife belongs to."

"A snake demon, I suppose."

After pondering for a moment, Luo Zijun replied.

However, he could not be certain.

He only knew that Bai Daxiaojie should have been a snake demon in her past life; as for this life, she did not look like a demon in any way.

Yet, how could she have been brought here?

"A snake demon?"

Shui Wu gave him a meaningful look and said: "I've heard that snake demons all have very good figures and are very good at bewitching people."

The corners of Luo Zijun's mouth twitched, and he could not help but recall the figure of Bai Daxiaojie, and then, he thought of that Moon Palace fairy who had already merged her soul with his.

Her figure was indeed very good, as for bewitching...

He really hadn't noticed.

The two passed through the mountain forest and continued to walk forward aimlessly.

When the night grew darker, the two found a hidden cave and went inside to rest for the night.

The next day, they continued on their way.

When they entered a dense forest, a crisp and childish singing voice suddenly came from ahead.

The two immediately slowed their pace and approached quietly.

In the forest ahead, a little girl wearing a coarse red dress was holding a bamboo basket, squatting on the ground picking mushrooms, while singing a song.

Her appearance was not much different from a human's.

Only, her neck seemed a bit thinner and longer, and her pair of pupils were also slightly reddish.

The two looked at each other, held their breath, and hid behind a large tree.

When the little girl came bouncing over with her bamboo basket, Luo Zijun prepared to rush out to seize her, but Shui Wu beside him immediately shook her head to stop him.

Then she walked out openly, smiling: "Little sister, are you picking mushrooms?"

Seeing her suddenly appear, the little girl was startled; she blinked her large eyes and nodded somewhat cautiously.

At this time, Luo Zijun also walked out from behind the large tree.

After the little girl saw him, she widened her eyes and stared at the two of them carefully for a few moments; a flash of panic suddenly appeared on her face, and she began to retreat.

Shui Wu hurriedly said: "Little sister, don't be afraid, we aren't bad people, we just got lost and want to ask you for directions."

The little girl still had a face full of panic, and her body began to tremble: "You... are you humans?"

Shui Wu did not dare to admit it and said: "We want to go to the Snake Clan to find someone; can you tell us where the Snake Clan lives?"

The little girl looked at the two of them in fear and did not answer.

Suddenly, she shouted toward the area behind the two: "Mom, you're here, come quickly and save me!"

Luo Zijun and Shui Wu looked back, but there was no one behind them.

The little girl took this opportunity to turn and run.

Luo Zijun shrugged at Shui Wu, somewhat speechless, then his figure flashed as he chased after her, grabbed the little girl by the collar, and hauled her back.

Just as the little girl was about to let out a scream, Luo Zijun covered her mouth and said with a fierce expression: "Try screaming and see what happens? Do you believe I'll eat you?"

The little girl widened her eyes in terror.

Luo Zijun slowly let go and said: "Tell us, where does the Snake Clan live?"

The little girl blinked her eyes in terror, raised a finger, pointed toward the left, and said in a trembling voice: "Th... there."

Luo Zijun stared at her slightly scarlet pupils and sneered: "Are you sure? I'll give you one last chance. If you dare to lie, I'll start a fire later and roast you on it to eat. Looking at how tender your skin is, it must be nice and crunchy to chew, right?"

The little girl was so scared she cried, and she hurriedly and tremblingly pointed toward the right, saying: "Th... there."

"Be more specific."

Luo Zijun maintained his fierce expression.

This time, the little girl did not dare to lie again and stated the specific location and the places they needed to pass through one by one.

"Take us there."

Luo Zijun let her go and let her lead the way.

The little girl cried and shook her head: "It's very far, my mom will be worried..."

Luo Zijun said: "Where do you live? It's nearby, right? How about this, you take us home, and we'll have your mom lead the way."

The little girl trembled in fear and hurriedly cried: "No, don't hurt my mom... I, I'll lead the way for you..."

Luo Zijun had originally wanted to scare her a bit more, but Shui Wu came over and pushed him aside, squatted down in front of the little girl, and gently wiped her tears, saying: "Little sister, don't be afraid, we won't hurt you, and we won't hurt your mom either. Just tell us the location again, and once we remember it, you can go home; we won't make you lead the way."

"Really?"

The little girl asked with her teary, large eyes.

Shui Wu nodded, her attitude kind and gentle, and she spoke in a soft, low voice.

The little girl immediately sobbed and recounted the route she had just taken once more.

This time, she spoke in even greater detail.
