Chapter 1227 – First Underground Palace
The only thing was that when she was about to ma.s.sacre the demons that had appeared from the teleportation formation of the entrance.
The demons circled around her when they encountered her, their first reaction was not to attack her.
But to distance themselves as far away as possible from her.
The others killed several demons while she only managed to kill a handful.
“Eh, Lady Bai Li, how come you killed so little? This opportunity to earn merits is hard to come by. Those demons have delayed reactions for a moment after teleporting, why did you not kill more?” Mu Rong Xin Nuo’s gentle voice was heard.
Everyone turned to look at Huan Qing Yan.
“Lady Mu Rong is correct. Qing Qing, why are you not vying to kill more demons? You are giving away useful war contributions that could be used to exchange for items from the Holy Court.” Shang Qiu Meng Qian did the rare act of agreeing with Mu Rong Xin Nuo.
He felt that there was logic in Mu Rong Xin Nuo’s words and wanted to remind Qing Qing for her benefit.
Maybe Qing Qing did not know about such crucial matters.
“Maybe Sister Qing Yan saw how vicious we fought and was unable to get any for herself. I will give the best position to her the next time.” Bai Li Jia Bao giggled and joked.
Ji Mo Ya cast a Cleansing Spell on Huan Qing Yan and noticed that her face was pale.
He asked, “What happened? Are you feeling any discomfort? Or are you missing Little Treasure?”
Huan Qing Yan shook her head, “I am fine, I am just… nevermind.”
She felt something was wrong somewhere, as though she was unable to attack.
When she coordinated with Ji Mo Ya at Blackrock City, she was filled with rage due to the scene she saw of demons hurting humans in the invaded city…
When she saw how the demons were like lambs waiting for slaughter, she was just unable to strike.
Ji Mo Ya looked at Huan Qing Yan and gently patted her shoulders, “There is no need for kindness towards demons. Little Yan, just kill as many demons as you can when you encounter them.”
Huan Qing Yan lightly nodded.
Ji Mo Ya addressed the group, “The demons will not enter for now. They will likely gather their forces and come in prepared with at least three Demon Kings the next time. We should not stay here any longer and should quickly secure the treasures for ourselves.”
“Okay!”
Everyone had no comments.
The Demon G.o.d Estate looked like an ordinary dark cave from the outside.
However, after entering, it was found to possess its own domain.
There were several luxurious underground palaces in front of the group with no end in sight. The ma.s.sive buildings were built in a winding formation like a snake.
The first underground palace was slightly dilapidated. It seems like a destructive force had struck it but it did not collapse in the end.
Ji Mo Ya explained, “There are four underground palaces within the Demon G.o.d Estate. Each palace is filled with traps and has golems guards. I have only been to the First Underground Palace before…”
“Eh? You have been here before? When did you come here?” Shang Qiu Meng Qian and the rest were surprised.
They had heard of the Ji Mo Clan trying to steal from the Demon G.o.d Estate but failed.
Mu Rong Xin Nuo displayed a sad expression, “Cousin, you disappeared for over a year when you were young. Can it be that you were kidnapped by the Snake Emperor to the Demon G.o.d Estate? This place is so dark and sinister, Cousin must have suffered.”
Everyone turned to look at each other when they heard those words. Ji Mo Ya being kidnapped by the Snake Emperor was a clan secret, the Ji Mo Clan had not revealed it to anyone.
They did not know that such a thing had happened. Other than surprise, the group started making various guesses.
Why was he imprisoned for over a year and not killed instead?
