Exorcism

The thick snow has always existed, as if it will never melt in the future.

Hundreds of spirit demons and ordinary demons fought hard for nearly a month and dug out an ice cave with a depth of three hundred feet, but there was not even a shadow of soil, let alone the demon relics they had been waiting for.

King Jin stood on the high ground near the ice cave, with the north wind howling. His body was soon covered with a layer of snow. The breath exhaled from his nostrils turned into ice when it met the snow, and it stuck to his mouth like a string of transparent beards. -The horse has no beard, so that makes him look a little funny.

"It's been a month and I haven't seen the demon relics. If this continues, we will all die." King Jin said, snorting hard and shaking off the ice whiskers on his mouth.

A snow pillar beside him shook twice, revealing the dragon demon inside. Because of the cold, her cheeks were a little red, but her smile was still bright and bright, "Don't worry, if the demon relics are so easy to find, they won't keep them." That’s it now, right?”

"If we could use magic, we would have dug the hole to the end." King Jin moved his two front hooves. He had all his divine power and various powers, but he could not use them.

"No way, the demons are somewhat spiritual. They stay alone underground for a long time and don't like to be disturbed. The magic will scare them away."

King Jin had seen some demon relics, which were all bones, jewelry, and armor. Although they were widely used, they did not show any spirituality. They were placed wherever they were and would never move on their own.

But King Jin just snorted softly and did not argue. Among the entire team, only the dragon demon could detect the location of the demon relics - at least that's what she claimed - no one could judge other than continuing to dig holes. Are her words accurate?

A sandalwood sheep spirit demon climbed out clumsily from a hole three feet in diameter, faced the wind and snow, and trudged towards an igloo. He was too tired and needed to rest for a while.

"You should let everyone transform into humans, make some tools, and cooperate with each other to dig holes faster."

"No." King Jin refused stiffly. He had his own principles and would never turn into a human form unless necessary. Spirit demons are spirit demons, and they must always maintain the form of their ancestors.

The Dragon Demon shrugged his shoulders and did not continue to persuade the stubborn King Jin. "I have a hunch that there will be a miracle today. Call me when you dig something. I will go..." The Dragon Demon yawned greatly.

There is a circle of igloos built around the ice cave. Half of these igloos are on the ground and the other half are underground, a typical demon clan style.

There was already a person in the snow house that the dragon demon entered, the only human among a group of monsters.

Yang Qingyin stared blankly at the pure white wall, as if thinking about an extremely complex and puzzling question.

Dragon Demon walked over and gently pressed Yang Qingyin's shoulders with both hands, "Are you thinking about the past again?"

"No, the memories give me a headache. I just feel...as if someone is digging a big hole in my heart, digging deeper and deeper, but I can't find the end."

"You're tired. You stayed in the cave for three days last time. Don't work so hard. Everything can be done in time." The dragon demon pushed Yang Qingyin to the bed and asked her to sit down.

The so-called bed is a slightly higher snow platform, covered with a layer of hay and a whole bear skin.

Yang Qingyin still looked distracted and murmured: "I have to do something, otherwise I will think more and the hole in my heart will be deeper."

"Go to sleep without thinking. No matter who dug the hole in your heart, it will eventually come to an end. Go to sleep..."

Yang Qingyin closed her eyes and leaned on the Dragon Demon's shoulder, her breathing gradually becoming steady and slow.

Dragon Demon helped Yang Qingyin lie down on the animal skin, stood up and stared at her for a while, his expression as gentle as water, as if he was watching his child fall asleep, "You are always lucky to have a true heart, even if It dug a big hole."

Dragon Demon quietly walked to the door, exposed half of her body, looked at King Jin's back and the ice cave that was still being dug deep in the distance, raised her right hand and pressed it on her heart. After a while, her palms, clothes, and flesh and blood were all Becomes transparent, revealing a crystal clear heart that, unlike a living human heart, does not beat.

The dragon demon never looked at her heart. After a long time, she put down her arms and her heart returned to normal. "It's time to end." She said, stepping out of the igloo and entering the ice and snow, she disappeared. A few shallow footprints quickly appeared on the snow, which were soon covered by the wind and snow.

The whole camp was oblivious to this.

King Jin concentrated on the ice cave in front of him, all the muscles in his body were tense, and he also had an obvious premonition in his heart. This premonition not only came from beautiful expectations, but also came from the slight tremor coming from deep under the snow.

The trembling was very regular, like the breathing of a sleeping person. King Jin kept consistent with it unknowingly, and his premonition became stronger and stronger. He couldn't bear it anymore, and was about to run to the entrance of the cave and jump out of it. A demon comes.

The beast monster Lao Bang didn't crawl out by himself, and he couldn't fly. He was thrown out by the combined efforts of other monsters. He fell to the ground with a thud, turned over, and his face was full of ecstasy.

"We've dug it." Lao Chong raised his head and said to King Jin, his voice trembling a little.

"I dug it! Haha, my grandma finally dug it!" Lao Chong roared loudly, causing large pieces of wall to fall off the surrounding igloos.

The resting monsters ran out one after another and gathered at the entrance of the cave.

"What did you find? Bones or armor?" King Jin was the first to run to the entrance of the cave and looked down. He saw many monsters walking towards him along the spiral steps on the cave wall. Dozens of them had wings. The spirit demons were flying on top, all with smiles on their faces, but they didn't dare to make any noise. They had been reminded many times to be careful in the cave and not to disturb the buried objects.

Lao Chong spun around a few times, stood still and said, "I don't know, it's a big guy anyway."

King Jin was relieved. The most important ingredient for the Demon Transformation Pill was finally available. He saw the light, and the entire spirit demon clan also had hope.

The demons in the cave came up one after another, and they were all relieved, but no one could tell what they had dug. They had been ordered to come out immediately after discovering the demon relics, and were not allowed to dig without permission.

The last one to come up was a brocade-tailed stallion. His whole body was covered with ice shavings and he was walking a little wobbly. He came to King Jin and nodded majestically, "I found it. It seems to be a complete set of armor. Please go down and check it out, King Jin." "

King Jin also nodded and turned around to look for the dragon demon among the demons. She was an expert and could identify the types of demon relics at a glance, but the dragon demon was not there, and neither was Yang Qingyin, the only human being. They were probably still resting and didn't hear Lao Chong's cry. King Jin jumped up and flew above the entrance of the cave, "Please wait for me here. I think we succeeded this time, but after completely digging out the demon relics, Before you come out, don’t make too much noise.”

More than three hundred demons were waiting around the entrance of the cave. Although they remained silent, they all looked happy. For a whole month, they suffered from hunger in the desolate snowy land. The snow almost never stopped, and their digging work never stopped. You can't cast magic spells, and you can't use too much force. Just dig in little by little, all for this moment.

"The things have been dug out. Is it time to let us go?" the beast monster Lao Chong said. He had lowered his voice, but it still spread far away and all the monsters could hear it.

There were more than 200 spirit demons and more than 100 ordinary demons at the scene. The latter were prisoners and were taken here from Pangshan. They all regarded this excavation as their last task.

The spirit demon didn't even speak. He stood tall, looked around at the demons, and continued: "Let me tell you something. It took more than a month to walk here from Pangshan, and another month to dig the hole. I only gave you a piece of dried meat every day. And a few balls of snow, worse than human slaves, I’ve had enough.”

"And we can't go further north." A captive demon soldier behind Lao Chong said, with a hint of fear on his monkey-like face. "I heard that there are evil things in the north, and the demons there are fleeing to the south. ”

Lao Chong frowned and kicked the demon soldier away. He is a real demon and will not accept lies even if they are useful to him. "That's nonsense. It's just some 'Bing Kui'. It's all a lie by the snow demon." The story came out that they couldn’t defeat other tribes and were embarrassed to admit it, so they just said there are weird things in the north. We are monsters and ‘evil things’. What’s so scary?”

Lao Bang was big-headed and had a bad temper. He often fought when he was a prisoner. No demon soldiers dared to argue with him. The spirit demons did not understand the rumors about the demon clan and did not care much about them. They remained silent and strictly obeyed King Jin's orders.

Lao Chong walked towards a sandalwood sheep spirit demon with huge horns. This spirit demon was very old and was one of King Jin's right-hand men. "Should we let him go? We didn't cause any trouble along the way. When we were digging holes, We have used all our strength, whether to kill or release, you should give us an accurate answer."

Tan Yang glanced at the spirit demons around him. They had an absolute advantage. Not only were they more numerous, but they were also stronger. "The demons can leave, but the demon pills must stay."

Not all demon clans can produce demon pills. After the spirit demons left Pangshan, they went all the way north, catching and releasing them on the way. Now, all of the hundred captives have demon pills without exception.

Lao Chuang is a beast monster and was born with a demon elixir. Hearing these words, he subconsciously held his left wrist with his right hand - the wrist bone is his demon elixir. "No, if you hand over the demon elixir, we will all become fools." ?”

Tanyang Spirit Demon said in a resentful tone: "It was you who forced us to take the Demon Transformation Pills, and it was you who stopped supplying them. Now that we have the demon relics and demon pills, we can make the Demon Transformation Pills ourselves."

Lao Chuang raised his hand and scratched his short, thick, messy hair inexplicably, "When did we force you?"

"You are the subordinates of the Giant Demon King. You must bear responsibility for what he has done."

"I can take responsibility, but I will never hand over the demon pill unless you kill me." Lao Chong clenched his fists.

The Tanyang spirit demon dug twice on the snow with one front hoof. Although they had dug ice caves together, he still felt jealous of ordinary demons and did not mind killing them.

The joyful atmosphere disappeared in an instant, and the two groups of monsters stared at each other, and a life-and-death battle was about to begin.

King Jin suddenly rushed out of the ice cave and stood in the air, looking at all the demons. He did not notice the tense confrontation between the two sides, "There is a demon at the bottom of the cave."

"What from the demon clan?" Lao Chong asked. Even if he was killed, he wanted to know first what he had worked so hard to dig out.

"A whole demon, wearing armor, the body has not rotted." King Jin looked around, "Where is the dragon demon? Find her quickly, this demon is a bit weird."
