Cannon fodder and female supporting role, a match made in heaven

The nine-headed snake demon suddenly flashed with golden light and turned into a man with a human head and a snake body. His appearance was exactly the same as the mountain god that Shen Zhaozhao saw in the picture.

The man weakly raised his eyelids, looked at Shen Zhaozhao, and said weakly: "Girl, can you come closer to me? I want to ask you to do me a favor."

When he was running out of energy, he finally remembered all his memories of his life.

The man's tone of voice was completely different from that of the snake demon. Shen Zhaozhao squatted down and asked in confusion, "Are you... the mountain god?"

"I am just a thousand-year-old snake demon, not a mountain god." The man smiled and shook his head, his voice already weak, "Help me..."

Shen Zhaozhao leaned forward to listen to what he said, nodded, and replied solemnly: "Okay, I will definitely do it."

When the man heard her reply, he smiled faintly, his eyes full of pleading: "Girl, help me call that young man." He pointed to Xie Yanshu next to him.

Shen Zhaozhao stood up and said to Xie Yanshu, "Brother, the mountain god wants to talk to you."

Xie Yanshu was a little confused. He had not seen those scenes and did not understand what this harmful snake demon had to say to him.

But after thinking about how Shen Zhaozhao had just hit it with his claws and fangs, it seemed to pause for a moment, and then its attitude towards the snake demon was completely different from before.

After the snake demon turned into a man, the evil spirit disappeared. He suppressed the confusion in his heart and took a few steps forward.

The mountain god was already at the end of his strength. Xie Yanshu leaned over to help him up, and only when he put his ear close to his lips could he hear what he said clearly.

Xie Yanshu and the mountain god were close to each other, so Shen Zhaozhao didn't hear a word he said. She looked at the place where Chu Yu was before, but there was no one there.

At some point, Chu Yu disappeared again.

"Zhao Zhao, what are you thinking about?" The Fire Beast jumped onto Shen Zhaozhao's shoulder, lowered its head, and tidied up its messy hair.

I just chased that stinky phoenix away, and he pulled out a lot of its hair. Of course, I also pulled out a lot of its leg hair, so it wasn't a loss.

"Where did Chu Yu go?" Shen Zhaozhao asked.

The Fire Beast raised its head and said nonchalantly, "He went to deal with the trouble and asked me to follow you."

Solve the trouble?

Shen Zhaozhao suddenly felt an indescribable emotion in his heart.

She has always known that Chu Yu has many secrets.

Although she and Chu Yu had long been in love with each other, she had never gotten to know him well.

The only time was when the phantom demon dragged them into a dream, and she was able to peek into Chu Yu's past.

Although she was very familiar with Chu Yu from her previous life, Chu Yu and Awen were different after all.

Chu Yu was smart enough. He was able to escape from Qingwei Sect when he was young and was thus found by the demons.

But Awen grew up in Qingwei Sect and he doesn't even have any magic.

Chu Yu is Awen, but also not. Even though they have the same background, different growth trajectories are enough to change a person's character.

She wanted to get to know him better, and perhaps if she had time, she would also like to tell him about her past life.

The sound of the mirror breaking interrupted Shen Zhaozhao's thoughts, and she turned her gaze back. The mountain god closed his eyes, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and his smile was relieved and peaceful.

A moment later, his body burst out with a dazzling white light, illuminating the dark sky, followed by a louder sound of mirrors shattering.

The barrier began to collapse, the original open space turned into a forest, the surroundings were shrouded in mist, and the altar disappeared.

This place is a barrier created by the demon using the last bit of spiritual energy of the mountain god before his death. It is only opened during annual sacrifices, so they didn't notice anything strange when they passed by here in the daytime.

The mountain god's body completely turned into fluorescent dots, hovering around Shen Zhaozhao.

"Girl, I have fixed your teeth. Our meeting is fate. My snake scales are indestructible. Consider them a gift for you." The mountain god's voice was like a spring breeze, clear and crisp, but quickly blown away.

The mountain god's most precious scales were all piled up at Shen Zhaozhao's feet, emitting dazzling silver light.

Shen Zhaozhao didn't know if he could still hear her, but she still assured him: "Don't worry, I'll pass on the message to her when I find her. And thank you!"

There was a faint roar like that of an evil spirit coming from Zhangjia Village. Although the mountain god was transformed into a snake demon by the evil spirit of the demon, he still remembered to protect the descendants of Zhangjia Village.

Now that the mountain god is dead and without his protection, the sacrificed women have arrived at Zhangjia Village and are seeking revenge on the villagers.

Time was running out, so Xie Yanshu quickly said, "The snake demon said that the protective barrier he set up in Zhangjia Village will soon be ineffective. I'm going to collect those resentful ghosts. Zhaozhao, you go to the mountain temple to pick up Miaoyi first. If possible, look for Qianmeng. You also have to be careful." After saying that, he left quickly.

The snake demon's request to him before it died was to help the villagers get rid of the resentful ghosts. It didn't want the people it had been protecting to be harmed, and Xie Yanshu had the ability to protect them for it.

Shen Zhaozhao looked at the scales piled up like a hill at her feet and felt a headache. She didn't know how to transport them away.

After thinking for a while, she took out her storage bag, cast a spell to make it bigger, and then took out the rations for the past few days and gave them to the Firelight Beast: "Hold it for me first."

Then she stuffed the remaining stack of blank yellow talismans into her sleeve, turned the storage bag upside down to make sure there was nothing inside, and then she stuffed the scales in.

Thinking of going to find Yu Miaoyi, she moved very quickly. When she was almost done, she stretched out her hand to the Fire Beast without even looking up: "Okay, you can give it to me now."

The touch was a little off, Shen Zhaozhao pinched it, turned around and looked, speechless: "I want to eat, why are you giving me your jade claws?"

The Fire Beast swallowed the last bite of the hibiscus cake and opened his innocent green eyes: "You gave me these, didn't you give them to me so I could eat them?"

Shen Zhaozhao saw that the Fire Beast had nothing in its hands and realized that all her food had gone into its stomach. She angrily pulled its ears and said, "Take it for a moment, what do you mean by take it for a moment?"

The Fire Beast cried out “Ouch” twice and started to cry: “Kill the rat, kill the rat! The rat has a miserable life. The little master kicks his butt every day, and the mistress pulls his ears every day. You are so mean to the rat! The rat needs a gentle and kind mistress.”

Shen Zhaozhao sealed the storage bag by himself and smiled nonchalantly: "You are so greedy. I don't think you look like a fire-bristled rat at all, but more like a pig."

Wait, Fire Rat? Shen Zhaozhao looked at the Fire Beast with suspicion.

She still remembered that when she first saw it, her senior brother thought it was a fire beast, a demon's pet. Later, Chu Yu said it was a fire-maned rat. Seeing that it particularly liked Chu Yu, she gave this greedy rat to Chu Yu.

Thinking about it now, it doesn’t seem that simple.

Shen Zhaozhao carried the storage bag on his shoulder and asked it questions as he walked: "You, the Firelight Beast, are one of the most powerful spirit beasts in the demon clan. You should be very majestic. Why do you feel so depressed following Chu Yu?"

When the Fire Beast heard this, it felt like someone finally understood its pain, and it started to complain madly, "That's right, Shushu feels that he has lost face for the Fire Beast. Have you ever seen a Fire Beast that gets kicked in the ass and has its ears twisted every day, and is often scorned and not allowed to come out of the Meteor Bracelet?"

It thought of its brother Huoguang and felt proud: "But when Shushu saw his brother, he felt that he was still very happy. Although the master always disliked me, at least he raised Shushu fat and strong. You know, my brother doesn't even know what nuts taste like!"

It babble a lot, completely unaware that it has completely exposed its identity as the Fire Beast.
