How to fall in love with the demon king at first sight

"Are they welcoming you?" Lu Miao asked Jiang Dongze.

"It looks like it." Li Yuntang replied.

After Lu Miao finished drinking the blood, Shi Yin handed him a handkerchief to wipe his mouth. He thanked him and took it, staring at the joy and excitement below, feeling that the scene was wonderful.

It took a long time to walk, Lu Miao estimated that it took an hour.The trees suddenly stopped, placing them on a wide flat ground, and then the branches that woven the cage burrowed into the ground and disappeared.

Lu Miao stood up, "Is it here?"

"No, I still have to take a boat."

In front of them was a large transparent river, so transparent that even the stones and algae under the water could be seen clearly. There were no fish, shrimp or any other animals, and the water surface was as motionless as a piece of glass.

Lu Miao almost wanted to step on it and try it. Is it glass?

"At night, the river will move." The voice of the little girl Wan Sheng came from the sky again, without the excitement before, and with a little sleepiness, as if stretched, "I thought about it." I thought, playing chess seems very dangerous, what if you are all eaten? If you are willing to admit defeat now, I can spare your life."

"So we are still going to be made into trees?"

Li Yuntang's tone made Wan Sheng not very happy, "What's wrong with being a tree, it's so cute, and it can live for a long time!"

"No, I'm not interested in just being in one place."

Listening to the conversation, Lu Miao went to the river and knelt down to look down.

There was wind on the bank, but the river didn't even have the slightest ripple, as if it had been frozen, and there was no shadow of himself on the water surface. He stretched out his finger and poked the river surface lightly.

Very soft, but motionless, like a harder jelly.

Lu Miao wanted to use more force, but Jiang Dongze suddenly said behind him, "Don't get close, this river may be dangerous."

"how?"

"This river should be a black river that only flows at night. It is also a kind of monster. If it is woken up during the day, it will eat people."

Lu Miao immediately took a few steps back and returned to the shade of the tree where Li Yuntang and Shi Yin were resting. Although it looked very relaxing here, it would be dangerous if they were too relaxed.

"You also know a lot." Wan Sheng's voice was a little vague, as if he was eating candy.

"Wan Sheng, what's your father's name?" Li Yuntang asked.

"What, you know him?"

"It is possible to know him, tell me his name."

"Yun Ting, do you know him?"

"I've heard of it, but I haven't dealt with it."

Wan Changchang yawned, "Me too, I've only heard his name before. I've never seen him before."

Of course, he died when you were born, how could you have seen him?

"Hiss!" Lu Miao's forehead was hit by something, and it was painful, but there was nothing to move him here. It was obviously in the room, and his physical body was being tortured by Wan Sheng.

"If you think about it again, I will bite you."

Lu Miao had no choice but to suppress even his thoughts.

"So sleepy." Wan Sheng yawned, "I'll sleep for a while, you guys continue to wait."

There are not so many towering trees here, and the color of the land is lighter than inside.

Like the edge of the forest, there are scattered yellow-red weeds and a few scattered brown crooked trees. It is very cool near the river.

Lu Miao was infected by Wan Sheng's yawn and felt sleepy too, so she found a comfortable place to nest.Li Yuntang and Shi Yin got up before going to bed, as if they were going to take a stroll.

The couple simply came for sightseeing.

This time he slept soundly and comfortably.

I dreamed that I would return to modern times, without worrying about monsters, monsters, or anything, and go to and from work, cook, and sleep smoothly every day.

It just seems a bit lonely, if only Li Yuntang, Shi Yin, Jiang Dongze, and Tang Xiu were all in modern times...it would be great.

"Lu Miao, Lu Miao." Jiang Dongze shook him.

Lu Miao opened his eyes in a daze, met Jiang Dongze's, and suddenly caught a glimpse of a big red moon behind him.He was startled and sat up, "I've timed again?"

"No. It's night."

Lu Miao rubbed her eyes, only to realize that at some point, the sky darkened.

Although the sun, or the moon, is still the red "lychee", the originally pure white sky has turned into a dark blue, starless and cloudless, like a ribbon, spotless.

There are sparkling lights in the forest at the end of the line of sight, but it is not a fire, but the edges of their leaves are fluorescent, as if covered by snow, which is too beautiful to behold.

The sound of galloping came from the ear, it was the river flowing, the river water had completely turned into an ink color, but much lighter than the ink color, like obsidian, and like the black veil worn by a young girl.

Occasionally, some orange light spots would jump out of the black, like fireflies flying in the summer night, or like the huge red moon gemstone above the head shattered and dropped sparkling gemstone sand.

Lu Miao pulled her attention back from the scenery, only to belatedly realize that her hands were resting on Jiang Dongze's lap. How could they be so close? Could it be that he was sleeping on his lap just now?

"Sorry." He quickly withdrew his hand.

"It's okay." Jiang Dongze got up: "Let's go."

Lu Miao saw Li Yuntang and Shi Yin strolling over from behind the tree, "Where did you go? What if you get separated?"

"No, we're right next to it." Li Yuntang stared at the river, "I didn't expect the night to fall so quickly here. According to the habits of the monster race, the days should be short and the nights long."

"Yeah." Jiang Dongze admitted.

Branches emerged from the dirt again, this time not woven into a cage, but into a rectangular raft, as if to allow them to cross a river.

"Let's go." Li Yuntang urged, "Fix it early."

Jiang Dongze boarded the raft, turned around temporarily, and took down "Xiaojing" who was limp on his shoulders and put them on the ground.

This is the clone of the tree demon named Xiaojing. It can walk in the forest where it can grow, but if it is too far away, it will probably die.

"You can't go with us, go back to the forest."

Xiaojing seemed to be very reluctant to part with him, and the branches circled several layers of his fingers not to let him go.

"It's okay." Jiang Dongze patted her on the head, "We will meet again in the future."

Four people stood on the raft. The huge force surged under the river, which supported them very stably, and the speed was very fast, as if they were riding the wind and breaking the waves.

At first they were standing, but then they just sat down and admired the moonlight and the forest.

"It would be great if there was wine. It reminds me of watching the snow at the pavilion in the center of the lake." Li Yuntang said, "The sky and clouds, mountains and water are white up and down. The shadows on the lake are only a trace of the long embankment, a point of the pavilion in the center of the lake, and the rest. One mustard for the boat, two or three grains for the people in the boat.”

"It's dark up and down for us." Lu Miao smiled. She was full of energy just after sleeping, and with the beautiful scenery and good wind, she was in a much happier mood.

Like the ancients traveling at night.

He raised his head to look at the red moon, feeling that such a situation is rare in this life, of course, the premise is that the game is not lost.

I thought it would be a long journey, but in fact, if you are in a good mood, it will be in the blink of an eye.

The raft stopped and they got up and went ashore.

The sun here should be constant, always hanging in the east, and at night, it is the moon.The time cannot be seen from the position of the sun, but the black river is obviously much more transparent.

The land on the shore is cold and hard, like a wasteland, covered with straight lines, and there are stone piers at a certain intersection point of the straight lines. The stone piers are not arranged regularly. In some places, there are three or four gathered, and in some places, there are nothing.

"The game has begun." Wan Sheng's voice came from above.

"This is the last game played by the demon. He lost after four moves, so you guys play next."

"You are standing at the very edge of the chessboard now, and you can only take the intersection point. When you take a step, the little stone will take a step. You have to avoid the little stone. If there is a small stone on the top, bottom or left and right sides, they will catch you. If you are surrounded by four small stones at the same time, you will be miserable and fall into the trap."

"The three top corners of this chessboard, one is the direct exit; the other has puzzles, you can only leave if you can solve the puzzles, and you will fall into a trap if you can't solve the puzzles; the third is directly a trap, that's it, it's fun oh."

Lu Miao felt that this game could not be called a game at all, it was just a trap.

He just wanted to ask something, but Wan Sheng already knew it, and he answered it by himself, "By the way, if you don't follow the rules, you will still fall into the trap. I whispered that the trap is terrible, and even I dare not go in. Also, in the Here, don't try to defeat Xiaoshi, you can't beat him on the chessboard. How about it? Do you want to admit defeat, maybe you can save your life if you admit defeat."

"It's very similar to tiger chess." Li Yuntang said, "I've played with people before. But before I was a human, it was my first time to be a tiger."

"It seems that you understand very well." Wan Sheng said quite appreciatively, "I'm getting more and more reluctant to let you die."

Lu Miao counted ten stone piers and 49 intersections.

The chessboard is chaotic, four in the lower left, two in the upper right, one in the middle, and three in the upper left.

The division is a bit too scattered, and it is not easy to pass.

Li Yuntang asked, "If we take one step, it only takes one step?"

"Yes."

"That is to say, it is walking towards us? Don't they all take a step, but the one closest to us?"

"Yes." Wan Sheng was a little puzzled.

"Will you join in the chess game?"

"Xiaoshi never lets me down."

"Okay, let's go." Li Yuntang stepped forward, but Lu Miao grabbed him and asked anxiously, "Do you have a chance of winning?"

Li Yuntang shook his head honestly: "No. Just take one step at a time. Jiang Dongze, protect Lu Miao."

"Ah."

"Oh, it's started." Wan Sheng said, "I forgot to mention that if you want to get out of here before dawn and stay still on the chessboard, Xiaoshi will also go crazy after dawn."

Anyway, it is right that Xiaoshi will go crazy anyway.Lu Miao complained.

At this moment, the crimson moon in the east still radiates brilliance in the distance on the blue curtain, which is extremely beautiful.

"Don't go to the sideline, it's easy to be cornered." Li Yuntang said.

The four of them took a step.

The stone pier closest to them moved a step forward.From this angle, it was about seven paces away from them.

Take another step.Xiaoshi took a step forward.

"I'm thinking about a question," Li Yuntang said at this time, "If this little stone plays chess independently, how does it identify our position? The smell or the point under its feet? Jiang Dongze, take Lu Miao to take a step to the right."

"Leave separately?" Lu Miao was surprised.

"Of course. Our advantage is the large number of people."

Jiang Dongze and Lu Miao took a step, and the stone pier five steps away in the middle approached.

"Continue to go."

Jiang Dongze and Lu Miao took three steps, keeping a distance of four steps from the stone pier in the middle and the upper left corner.

At this time, Li Yuntang and Shi Yin started to walk, and as soon as they moved, the nearby stone pier came towards them.

So the six stone piers on the upper left and lower left are facing Li Yuntang and Shi Yin, and the four stone piers on the upper right are facing Lu Miao and Jiang Dongze on the chessboard.

Are you trying to make a big splash?Lu Miao thought, could it be that one side attracts the stone pier first, and the other side walks to the top corner, and then this side attracts the stone pier, so that the first side has a chance to reach the top corner?

However, there are too many stone piers, and it is easy to outflank them, and even if they reach the top corner, they are separated, at least one of them will encounter puzzle traps, or direct traps.

Under the moonlight, Li Yuntang's attention was all on the stone pier, as if he was calculating something, observing the actions of the stone pier while walking.

Then he smiled slightly.

Holding Shi Yin's hand, he turned around and walked back.
