Every year there is a beast

Clutching the unfinished steamed buns tightly in his hand, Nian Xi happily looked at the savior who had just appeared. He had no idea that Xiao Zheng would be haunting Xiangsi Valley at this time.

Xiao Zheng's expression was very indifferent, he looked at Nian Beast, and walked forward slowly.

Originally, on New Year's Eve, he planned to go to the Demon King's Palace to find Xiaozheng. He had a rare roast leg of lamb and was anxious to share the barbecue with Xiaozheng. Unfortunately, he couldn't leave Jingu Town.Now that Xiaozheng has appeared, it is natural not to miss this precious opportunity on New Year's Eve.

He quickly stuffed the steamed buns into his mouth, chewed them casually, and swallowed them quickly.

Nian Beast washed his hands carefully with the stream water, and then took out the clean little cloth bag that he cherished very much.He picked the biggest piece of roast lamb, warmed it up with demon fire, and handed it to Xiaozheng cheerfully: "Would you like to have a taste? The roast leg of lamb I just bought back is delicious."

Xiaozheng looked at Nianxi, then at the barbecue in Nianxi's hand, but didn't answer.On New Year's Eve, taking Xiao Zheng's silence as a default, he automatically and consciously stuffed the barbecue into Xiao Zheng's hands.

After the barbecue is heated, it exudes a tempting aroma.Nianxi swallowed and looked at each other expectantly.

His eyes seemed to speak.Just take a bite, one bite is enough, every time I change the steamed buns, the food I bring is very delicious.

Of course, this does not rule out the reason for being hungry for a long time on New Year's Eve.

After hesitating for a while, Xiaozheng opened his mouth to take a bite of the roast meat under Nian Beast's particularly concerned eyes, and the meat was fresh and tender, with an excellent taste.So Xiao Zheng ate the piece of barbecue.

Nianxi stared straight at Xiaozheng, from the first bite to the last, his eyes were shining, the meat smells so good.

After eating the barbecue, Xiaozheng nodded with satisfaction, and gave the answer he wanted on New Year's Eve: "The taste is indeed very good."

Nian Beast was full of joy when he got the other party's evaluation.

Xiaozheng quickly put away his interest in food. Unlike Nianxi, he does not have the deep obsession with meat in Nianxi.In fact, he didn't intend to eat barbecue, just because the taste in the mouth was really delicious, and he swallowed a piece of meat before he knew it.

The demon king appreciated the taste of the barbecue, and felt as happy on New Year's Eve as he had eaten the barbecue.

The topic changed from barbecue to business in a blink of an eye, Xiaozheng asked: "You don't go to Xiangsi Valley as an errand, what are you doing here?"

Suddenly remembering his errands, New Year's Eve immediately became depressed.

He turned his head and stared at the stream reflecting himself, then he turned to Xiaozheng sideways, and pointed to his back in distress: "There is a strange black shadow following me."

Hearing this, Xiaozheng's expression changed slightly, adding a touch of incomprehensible emotion on New Year's Eve.Xiaozheng looked at Nian Beast's back for a while, then shook his head: "I didn't see any dark shadows, I'm afraid your vision is wrong."

"There really is a shadow, it's here." Nian Xi was anxious and hurried to explain.

He must not let Xiaozheng misunderstand, Xiaozheng personally entrusted him with such an important errand, how could Xiaozheng think that on New Year's Eve, he deliberately did not go to Acacia Valley to do business, but to play lazily here.

Nian Xi eagerly explained again, this time pointing very precisely: "There is really a shadow. It looks like a Nian beast, which looks very similar to me. Look, here is its head, here are its claws, And here, there is a unicorn."

As he spoke, he carefully pointed it out to Xiao Zheng to prove that what he said was the truth.

While talking on New Year's Eve, I inadvertently spotted Xiao Zheng frowning slightly.This expression clearly tells Nian Xi that what Nian Xi told Xiao Zheng is not something Xiao Zheng would like to hear.

He hesitated for a moment and didn't insist anymore.Nian Beast didn't understand, Xiaozheng's silence meant that he should continue talking, or stop talking.After weighing it again and again, Nian Xi lowered his arms, feeling a little frustrated.

It's strange, there is clearly a shadow on his back, why can't Xiaozheng see it?The shadow was always floating behind Nian Xi, and Nian Xi was afraid that this weird shadow would affect the safety of Xiangsi Valley, so he didn't enter Xiangsi Valley immediately.

Xiaozheng didn't say a word, could it be that he didn't believe his words?

But, it seems that the usual demon king doesn't talk much.

In distress on New Year's Eve.

He thought that he was lucky enough to meet Xiaozheng, and he could discuss with him how to eliminate the black shadow, besides, the situation of Jiuluo and Nianxi was very similar.If Xiaozheng couldn't deal with the dark shadow behind Nianxi, then I'm afraid he wouldn't understand Jiuluo's situation either.

Is it really because I didn't wake up, was my vision wrong?New Year's Eve sighed sullenly.

Xiaozheng didn't intend to stay longer, he washed his hands with the barbecued meat with stream water, and said to Nian Xi: "Let's go to Xiangsi Valley. I'll go there with you and see what's going on inside."

New Year's Eve responded quickly, even if he was unhappy, Xiaozheng actually cared more about going to Xiangsi Valley than about the dark shadow behind him.

However, Nianxi understands Xiaozheng's decision.The safety of Xuanwu is a major issue, relatively more important. The demon king has piled up a mountain of big and small things to be solved every day. On New Year's Eve, he can't ask the other party to always take care of his own small things first.

On New Year's Eve, I persuaded myself a few words, and my unhappy mood eased a lot.

He was about to get up and leave, but for some reason, he stepped on a pebble by the stream for no reason, felt his foot slipping strangely, and fell into the stream with a plop.He lowered his head and immediately choked on the water.

In the courtyard, a small stone slipped and fell on Yi Ding, causing amnesia. By the stream, Nian Beast didn't want to slip and fall into a flat face.

Xiaozheng took two steps closer helplessly, reaching out to pull up the New Year's Eve.

On the eve of the year, he choked on a few sips of water in discomfort, and the moment he tried to get up, his movements suddenly stopped.

He couldn't comprehend the strange picture he saw.

Xiaozheng who stepped forward was reflected in the water of the stream. Xiaozheng was quite different from when they first met.Nian Xi is sure that when Xiao Zheng first appeared, Nian Xi also saw Xiao Zheng in the water, but Xiao Zheng at that time was completely normal.

However, at this moment Xiaozheng is completely abnormal.

Xiao Zheng's mouth and hands were surrounded by thick black air, and the black air kept coming out as Xiao Zheng opened his mouth.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Zheng asked.

On New Year's Eve, he was a little dazed for a while. He lay motionless in the stream, and he responded bravely: "It's okay, it seems that I accidentally twisted my neck."

Such an excuse allows New Year's Eve to lie in the water for a while longer to distinguish what is true from what is false.

Could it be that evil spirits have corroded the barbecue?

The first thought that popped into the mind of New Year's Eve was a terrible thought. He actually gave Xiaozheng the eroded barbecue carelessly, and something bad happened.

But soon, Nianxi realized that this idea was wrong.If the evil spirits could pass through him, they would erode the food in his arms. I just ate steamed buns on New Year's Eve, why didn't my reflection have a mouth emitting black gas, and hands surrounded by black gas.

New Year's Eve still couldn't figure out why Xiaozheng couldn't see the black shadow, whether he couldn't see it or pretended not to see it.Xiaozheng doesn't care about the shadow on Nianxi's back, doesn't it mean that Xiaozheng doesn't care about himself who is abnormal at this moment, how can the demon king not realize that his body is not right.

If Xiaozheng knew that there was something wrong with barbecue, then he couldn't just eat it without getting rid of the evil spirit.

Since he met Xiaozheng on New Year's Eve, he never thought Xiaozheng was a weak monster, let alone a monster who was not vigilant.

There seems to be something wrong with the smell?

New Year's Eve sniffed it lightly, and it was strange, Xiao Zheng's aura was weakening and disappearing quickly.

Confused, Nian Xi faced the stream and was still lying on his stomach. When he clenched his fists, he suddenly discovered that it wasn't that Xiaozheng had been eroded, but that the camouflage had been peeled off.

The elaborate camouflage was gone, and a vague shadow was entwined in the eerie black air, his eyes glowed with a faint green light, an unconcealable evil spirit.

This person is not Xiaozheng at all, but he knows Xiaozheng well, and uses Xiaozheng's aura to cover up his identity.New Year's Eve wondered if the other party showed his true form because he ate the barbecue meat that New Year's Eve gave him.

Thinking that the person next to him was not Xiaozheng, a shudder ran down his spine on New Year's Eve, and suddenly a ball of anger surged into his heart.God knows how long it took for him to see delicious meat, he was reluctant to eat it, and even gave the other party a large piece of meat.

Give him back his barbecue, no, don't spit it out, and give him double compensation for the money he bought for the barbecue and his loss of mood.

Nian Xi said that he was angry.

Even though New Year's Eve was quite resentful about the loss of the barbecue, the key to his concern soon shifted to the "Xiao Zheng" next to him. Jiu Luo once said that evil spirits are familiar with past lives. It is within the scope of research, that's why he disguised himself so much that he almost fooled the Nian beast.

Fortunately, New Year's Eve fell in time.

He secretly thought, is this guy Chen Xuanyu, transformed from Chen Xuanyu just now.Evil spirits have no fixed form, and it is not difficult to change their appearance and breath.

It's just that New Year's Eve couldn't guess why Chen Xuanyu was looking for him.Even if Chen Xuanyu found out that Nian Xi had pointed him in the wrong direction on purpose, he could settle the score directly with Nian Xi, why bother to go to Acacia Valley with Nian Xi in Xiaozheng's appearance.

He remembered that before Chen Xuanyu also proposed to hope that New Year's Eve would lead the way.

According to what Jiuluo said, it would be safer for Yi Ding and the others to be in Lovesickness Valley. The implication is that Chen Xuanyu can't enter Lovesickness Valley?

If Chen Xuanyu could enter at will, he would have gone in and wiped out Yi Ding long ago, why bother looking for New Year's Eve twice.

Come to a conclusion that may be correct, make up your mind on the eve of the year, never let the other party lead the way, never let the other party enter the Lovesickness Valley, never spare this person pretending to be Xiaozheng, and most definitely never let the person who ate him go. The jerk of the barbecue.

The New Year's Eve battle value is full.

Fake Xiaozheng wanted to go to Acacia Valley, but he chose not to go to Acacia Valley on New Year's Eve. He lay firmly in the water and confronted him. "Xiaozheng" couldn't help him, and asked, "Did you fall hard?"

"I can't move anymore, I need a pharmacist." Nian Xi was very sad, anyway, he had already taken root in the water, and he couldn't get up if he was beaten to death.

Seeing this, "Xiaozheng" grabbed Nianxi by the collar, and lifted him up from the creek: "It just so happens that there is a pharmacist in Acacia Valley."

Hearing this, New Year's Eve felt a chill in his heart, no good, he didn't find the right excuse, the other party was still thinking about Acacia Valley.

As a good Nian beast that has won the trust of the Demon King and is bound to share the worries of the Demon King, it is undoubtedly a good time to make a fist on New Year's Eve to distract the enemy.He happily replied: "Then let's go to Xiangsi Valley as soon as possible."

"Xiaozheng" finally showed a gratified smile, and he dragged the stubbornly unwilling New Year's Eve to walk in the direction of Acacia Valley.

Without hesitation, New Year's Eve called the other party, and he showed a puzzled expression: "Where is this going?"

"Lovesickness Valley." Fake Xiaozheng responded.

"Wrong." Nian Xi pointed in the opposite direction, her tone firm: "That's the Valley of Lovesickness."

"Xiao Zheng" stared at Nian Xi incomprehensibly, but Nian Xi relied on his thick skin and thought he couldn't tell that he was lying, so his attitude remained unchanged: "Hurry up, I need to find a pharmacist, my neck hurts too much gone."

Realizing that "Xiaozheng" has been reluctant to go in another direction for a long time, Nianxi complained: "The life of the beast is at stake, so it's too late."

A trace of abnormal emotion flashed in "Xiao Zheng"'s eyes, and Nian Xi was feeling uneasy.He had reason to think that if the guy in front of him was Chen Xuanyu, he might be about to explode, and New Year's Eve pointed him in the wrong direction twice in a row.

I don't know if the other party will want to bite off his neck at this time, but New Year's Eve is not afraid of the other party.The Nian beast still has sharp teeth and claws, but he doesn't believe in a fight, and he still can't slap the head of this black-smelling guy.

Nianxi was convinced that Chen Xuanyu dared to continue pretending to be Xiaozheng to lie to him, wasting precious barbecue, and Nianxi would not only point the evil spirits in the wrong direction, he would also beat people up.

"Xiao Zheng" looked a little more unfriendly, and was always in a state of preparation for battle on New Year's Eve.

The other party knew that he had become Xiao Zheng to lie to him, didn't he know that on New Year's Eve he hated people pretending to be Xiao Zheng?

For Xiao Zheng and Rou, Nian Beast will also get angry.
