Chapter 378: Broken Heavenly Demon Corpse (2)
Su Jingxing remained silent.
It turned out that the Winged Ones had brought this upon themselves.
Of course, luck was also key. They were unlucky to be trapped in this area.
Within a radius of a thousand miles, no one could leave or enter.
And the Broken Corpse Heavenly Demon was actually sealed beside the Demon’s Den.
!!
Across the fourth Demon’s Den, a piece of Broken Heavenly Demon Corpse was actually sealed inside.
Su Jingxing had gained a rough understanding of the Heavenly Demon through the Bone Demon’s memories.
This was the strongest among the demons, a born demon, a king who was comparable to the Primordial Spirit realm when it reached adulthood. If it cultivated it, it would only be stronger.
The Heavenly Demon Corpse could not be destroyed, and could only be split into three pieces.
Most importantly, it would revive over time.
If it were to come back alive, who on Earth Star could stop it?
Compared to the Bone Demon, the Sword Demon, and the Snake Demon, the Heavenly Demon was the true threat.
This was because no one knew what realm this fellow would be in after its resurrection.
Su Jingxing felt fearful for no reason at the thought of a piece of the Broken Heavenly Demon Corpse lying beneath the ruins he had come from earlier on.
That Door of Darkness had to be destroyed!
Right, the Door of Darkness.
Looking at the Sha Lou who was beside him, Su Jingxing recalled what he had said earlier and was suddenly jolted awake.
This leader of the Winged Ones sure has a quick mind. What a good plan.
They actually wanted to leave this d*mned place through him!
That’s right, it’d been more than ten thousand years.
Entry and exit of this area was impossible, but Su Jingxing, a human spiritual martial artist, had appeared here.
What did this mean?
It meant that the Winged Ones could also leave this place!
At this thought, Su Jingxing chuckled and said coolly, “Leader Sha, do you want to leave this place?”
Su Jingxing couldn’t be bothered to waste his breath and went straight to the point.
“Yes.”
Sha Lou retracted his gaze from the distance and his gaze landed on Su Jingxing. He said seriously, “Since you were able to come here, it means that there is a pa.s.sageway that can connect to the outside world. In ancient times, the Winged Ones was an ally of the human race…”
“Ally?”
Su Jingxing interrupted, “Are your allies meant to be killed and eaten? I haven’t forgotten that your brothers shouted at me just now and were rallying to kill me to eat my flesh.”
“Um…”
Embarra.s.sed, Sha Lou scratched his head and smiled wryly. “I’m sorry, they didn’t mean to.”
“Didn’t mean to?” Su Jingxing raised his eyebrows and caught the key point.
“Yes, it wasn’t intentional.” Sha Lou sighed and explained, “My friend, you should have seen the four strange people on the fire in the center of the altar, right?”
“Are they related to the Winged Ones?” Su Jingxing asked calmly.
“It’s not that they are related, but they were once our clansmen!”
Sha Lou took a deep breath and revealed a shocking truth.
“To be honest, as time pa.s.sed, the influence of the Broken Heavenly Demon Corpse became more and more severe. Under the corrosion of the Heavenly Demon’s aura, all life in this area has lost their sentience and become…”
“That’s not right,” interrupted Su Jingxing again. “On the way here, I just killed a humanoid monster like the kind you captured. It was very intelligent and kept fighting me, wanting to surround and hunt me.”
“It has probably just completely mutated.” Sha Lou gritted his teeth and said, “The newly mutated monsters still retain some sentience, but in at most three days, these sentience will dissipate and they will become demonic creatures with only devouring instincts!”
“Alright.” Su Jingxing nodded and did not probe further.
It turned out that the humanoid monster’s true form was a Winged One.
Under the influence of the Heavenly Demon aura, it mutated into a monster without sentience.
“The aura of a Heavenly Demon is extremely terrifying. If we don’t leave this place, in at most ten years, everyone, including me, will completely mutate and become the kind of demonic creature you killed.”
Sha Lou said in a hoa.r.s.e voice, “This also means that the resurrection of the Broken Heavenly Demon Corpse is not far. Once the Heavenly Demon is revived, the entire area will become a demon territory.”
“So, you want to use me to leave this place?” Su Jingxing pondered and said, “What benefits will I get from helping you and your people?”
Su Jingxing was not a saint.
Earlier on, Sha Lou had ambushed him, and now that Sha Lou had spoken, he would help the Winged Ones leave through the Door of Darkness.
How could it be that easy?
Whether the Winged Ones were an ally of the humans in ancient times was to be confirmed.
The key was what the Winged Ones had become now.
As soon as Su Jingxing appeared, they wanted to kill him and eat his flesh.
If he took them away to the outside world, wouldn’t these fellows be killing people everywhere?
Of course, there was a limited number of Winged Ones. Although Sha Lou was in the Transcendent-grade, humans had Martial Sages and Primordial Spirit realm experts like Sword Sages.
If these Winged Ones were to really commit a crime, they would immediately be slaughtered.
Su Jingxing mentioned conditions to find a reason for himself, or rather, a guarantee.
Sha Lou was a smart person and quickly understood what Su Jingxing meant.
“Don’t worry, my friend. After we leave, we will never offend the human race.
“Previously, my clansmen offended you because they have been corroded for a long time. Their rationality is gradually dissipating. As time pa.s.ses, they will turn into monsters…”
“You’ve already said all this, and I already know. There’s no need to mention it again,” Su Jingxing interrupted again. “I just want to know, what benefits will I get from helping you guys leave this place?
“Or, let’s fight again. You defeat me, imprison me, interrogate me, and get the way out from me?”
“No, no, definitely not.”
Sha Lou laughed dryly and raised his hand to explain, “Friend Huang Tianhua, you’re thinking too much. I was just taking precautions and thought that the monsters had come to our camp. I definitely didn’t mean anything else.
“As for imprisoning and interrogating, that’s all the more sheer nonsense. Besides, I can’t defeat you.”
The last part about being unable to defeat him was the most important!
The human race’s spiritual martial arts were powerful, and everyone knew about that.
Although he had only heard his ancestors mention it, and this was the first time he was seeing it for himself, he was smart enough to make the right choice. It was not to make an enemy of, but to befriend them.
Getting into a bad relationship was the stupidest way.
That’s right, they wanted to leave this place, but the outcome of them falling out with each other, whether good or bad, could not compare to befriending each other.
If he won, he would have to capture and interrogate him. If Su Jingxing would rather die than submit and self-destruct, wouldn’t the opportunity they had waited so long for be destroyed in the blink of an eye?
If he lost, he’d be even more helpless. You’ve already made a move, and you still expect others to help you?
What a joke!
Therefore, the only way was to befriend him.
As it turned out, Sha Lou’s choice was right. The two of them chatted happily.
Although Su Jingxing had listed a condition, that was better than rejecting him directly, right?
At this thought, Sha Lou took a deep breath and said, “We don’t have anything good that we can give to you, but we can guarantee that we will never offend the human race!”
Without waiting for Su Jingxing to speak, he quickly continued, “Friend, let me finish.
“I know. Verbal promises won’t work.
“Therefore, in order to rea.s.sure you, I will take the entire race and swear a soul oath!
“As long as we swear a soul oath, the Winged Ones will never be able to offend the human race. Even if you kill us, we cannot resist.”
This…
Su Jingxing was a little surprised.
Such a terrifying soul oath did exist.
The Winged Ones were also very determined to get out.
They were even throwing away all routes of retreat.
If humans killed them, they would not resist.
Of course, if they really wanted to leave, they could run.
Escaping was not considered resisting.
Given the speed of the Winged Ones, they would run to a certain land of peril and hide silently.
No one would be able to find them.
“Other than that.”
Seeing that Su Jingxing was silent, Sha Lou continued, “I can also swear an oath that the entire Winged Ones is willing to serve you for a hundred years!”
Selling themselves as slaves?
Su Jingxing was surprised to hear that. Then, he smiled and said, “Your plan is still as brilliant as ever.”
Hmm?
Puzzled, Sha Lou asked, “What do you mean? Why don’t I understand?”
“You know very well what I mean.” Su Jingxing smiled but did not expose him. “Alright, I agree.”
“But!”
