Demon Lord 3

Originally, we were going to look for the last teammate after we arrived, but not only did we not find him, we also wasted time. This discovery was wrong from the beginning. This matter must be done step by step, rather than rushing for success now. If we can find him, we must do it as soon as possible, but if we can't find him so far, don't waste other time. This is like the matter of watermelon and sesame seeds. You can't lose the watermelon because of picking up sesame seeds.

As we walked, we saw the Miao village. The concealment methods of these places are indeed very clever, which makes it easy for us to find them. However, we also have a map and looked at the place carefully, especially the details and corners. We also found the center of the place, but it does take a lot of time to get there. Now we have a lot of time, so we started to stroll around here and started to climb the mountain. We climbed up hard, rested for a while when we were tired, and drank some water when we were thirsty. We also stored our car in a small county town not far from here.

At night, we set up tents to sleep. It was not so cold in the south, so we fell asleep comfortably here. We didn't dare to drink the water here. After all, the water source next to the Miao village might have been poisoned. In fact, we can't blame them. It's normal to be questioned when you walk around in front of someone's door. It's impossible for tourists to come to such a deep place. They will walk around outside and leave if they don't see anything interesting. Those who can really come here are either invited to perform a mission or have other intentions. We understand this and don't pursue it too much. The trees here are still relatively lush, so there should be no problem with the water source. However, everyone here is cunning and it is easy for them to do something we can't detect. We didn't take too many risks here.

After walking for another day and night, we arrived at the Miao village. It was not what I imagined. People did not wear complicated clothes. They usually wore ordinary clothes. I did not think they were strange clothes because I bought a set of their local clothes when I went there. Everyone wore Miao clothes. After all, it was more sociable and would not look so conspicuous.

At this time, a girl came over from the opposite direction. Before we could say hello, the people around us said, "Greetings to the Saint." We didn't know how to perform their kind of ceremony, so we performed the Taoist hand-clasping ceremony. The person being called the Saint smiled and asked if we could guess who she was. I looked her up and down and said with a smile, "You are the daughter of the Great Miao King, the Saint Shen Hexi, right?" She also said, "It's indeed the famous Hao Ruyue. I've heard a lot about you." I also smiled and said thank you.

In fact, I judged it from her expression. Most of the expression between her eyebrows was kindness, and the rest was a small part. So I dare to conclude that this is Shen Hexi, not Shen Heqing, because the other small part also showed sadness. Maybe she didn't want to fight at all, but these rights forced her to be unable to escape, and thus she fell into an endless vortex.

Even though I knew her identity, I didn't directly ask if she was the one who was looking for us. I knew she hadn't revealed her identity, which meant she didn't want to reveal it. As our employer, we had to respect her wishes. Shen Hexi also took us on a tour and arranged a room for us. She said we were friends once we arrived and could send someone to her for anything. We thanked her and returned to our rooms. The Saint holds great power here. Besides the older Great Miao King and the corrupt High Priest, the only one left in charge is the Saint herself. So, we didn't intend to directly antagonize anyone in this matter. After all, we had to protect ourselves before we could do anything. Otherwise, not only would we fail to protect ourselves, but we wouldn't be able to complete the mission either. Then, we'd lose everything, even our dignity. From then on, we'd be labeled a failure and couldn't hold our heads up high. So, we had to be extremely cautious.
