They forcibly pulled a centipede covered in black and yellow armor from the stone wall.
It was held in Bai Qian's hand. At first, it tried to struggle a couple of times, but when Bai Qian looked at it, her deep eyes met its gaze.
It immediately became obedient.
"What's this?" Bai Yao looked over.
Bai Qian handed the centipede over.
Bai Yao didn't go to pick him up.
There was no need for the two of them to interrogate him. After being stared at by Bai Qian for a while, the centipede was ready to confess everything.
"It was all the Demon Overseer who told me to wait here. I just wanted to..." Before he could finish speaking, a sound came from the stone wall next to him.
In an instant, one black centipede after another emerged from the stone wall, and the entire stone wall was instantly torn open by the centipedes.
Bai Yao was slightly taken aback by this scene, her mouth slightly open as if she wanted to say something.
A moon-white flame rose from the girl's feet.
In an instant, it transformed into a curtain of fire. The centipedes that had just rushed out of the stone wall were still trying to reach the two people when they were completely engulfed by the spiritual fire.
These centipedes, which had just emerged, disappeared from the two people's sight in less than half a second while breathing fresh air.
The centipede in Bai Qian's hand spoke only half of what it had said.
"So many?" Bai Yao frowned as she looked at the centipede remains on the ground.
"It's just one." Bai Qian shook her head and casually crushed the centipede in her hand. Its seemingly hard shell shattered into dust, and its flesh was mashed into a paste, flowing down her fair fingers along with the shell fragments.
Look at that broken stone wall.
"Aren't you coming out?" she asked curiously.
There was no movement from the other side of the stone wall.
Bai Qian took two steps toward the stone wall.
As I continued to walk forward, trying to get closer to them...
The ceiling of the cave seemed to have shattered completely, and then a black and yellow centipede crawled out of the ceiling. However, it was much, much larger than the one that Bai Qian had just crushed. If compared in terms of size, it was perhaps only slightly smaller than Qing Lang's main body.
With its appearance, the entire cave began to collapse, rocks fell from the ceiling, and the earth began to tremble.
Bai Qian walked to Bai Yao's side, and moon-white sparks quietly rose, silently engulfing all the rocks that had fallen from the ceiling.
However, the giant centipede was still wandering among the rocks, like a vicious beast waiting for an opportunity to attack its prey.
Bai Qian waited for a moment.
After realizing that it had no intention of attacking, they gave up waiting.
If it doesn't attack first, then it should attack on its own.
[Yuanxiao] appeared beside her, and Bai Yao's eyes widened slightly as she looked at the silver hammer.
The next moment, it felt as if my eardrums were about to shatter.
A terrifying flash of lightning rose from the cave like a blazing sun, illuminating the entire cave with its silvery-white light. Bai Yao instinctively closed her eyes.
The excessively bright light was enough to blind the eyes.
When she opened her eyes again, she saw a messy cave. The entire cave seemed to have been carved out by something, and the space had been expanded by more than double. Moon-white flames supported the four sides of the cave, and in the center of the cave lay a centipede that seemed to be twitching. Its huge body lay on the ground, and half of its carapace looked as if it had been smashed by something, with some charred marks.
"This is..." For a moment, he was speechless.
Bai Yao rarely goes out with Bai Qian and doesn't know much about Bai Qian's battle scenes.
But after seeing the current scene and combining it with the previous situation, she finally understood how her daughter dealt with demons, and why she treated demons as casually as if they were dishes on a dining table.
The centipede was still twitching. Based on Bai Yao's understanding of demons, the centipede demon in front of him should at least be a demon of the third realm. However, it vanished in the blink of an eye.
"Is it still alive?" I took a few steps forward, getting closer to the centipede.
"It's not dead." Bai Qian was certain. She walked to the centipede's feet. Because of its enormous body, even a single limb of the centipede was almost bigger than Bai Qian.
Holding the centipede by its segments, she easily broke off one, leaving her white clothes stained with some ghastly green blood, which drew Bai Yao's attention.
"Just ask."
Bai Yao's expression was a little strange, but she still nodded.
While I was pondering how to ask the question.
"Both of you, and everyone in this city, will eventually become His nourishment." A slightly shrill voice came from the centipede's direction.
Bai Qian, who was still adorably plucking off the limbs one by one, tilted her head and dropped the limbs she was holding.
[Crispy Sugar] emerged from his sleeve, and then he lightly slashed out with his sword.
The centipede was split in two.
The figure of the woman hidden inside was revealed.
She hadn't reacted after being exposed to the air until she met Bai Qian's puzzled yet innocent eyes, at which point she suddenly shuddered.
"The air isn't very fresh inside, why don't we talk outside?"
----
I overslept. I was supposed to wake up at nine or ten, but I didn't hear the alarm and ended up sleeping until the afternoon. I'm sorry for only finishing this chapter now (bowing) (bowing) (bowing). There are still two more chapters to come today.
Love you all??? Please continue reading~~
Volume 1: Chapter 263, Bai Qian is quite clever at times (especially when dealing with demons).
On the somewhat quiet mountain path, a girl with a look of fear and unease slowly walked forward, subconsciously looking up at her surroundings with each step.
The desolate mountain path was barren, with not a blade of grass growing on it, and she was the only one walking forward.
Nian Qi took a few steps and looked up at his surroundings.
It should only be noon now, but walking on this mountain path, Nian Qi felt somewhat apprehensive.
It's probably because she ran away without talking to anyone.
Or rather, they didn't tell Bai Qian and the others.
However, there wasn't much of a chance, since they weren't there when I made the decision.
She was very grateful to Bai Qian and the other woman, after all, they had saved both her life and Nian Cheng's, and her sister's later death had nothing to do with them.
This also includes the fact that even though they clearly saw that there was a problem with him, they did not press him excessively to ask. If it were some very malicious person, they might have insisted on getting these things out of him no matter what.
Although I really didn't know anything.
What she knew was only what she had mentioned to Bai Yao before, except for some things she had been hiding about herself...
If we're talking about what's important, there are some things that are important, but I've never dared to say it.
Nian Qi knew very well that Nian Cheng's death was indeed his doing. No matter how innocent he appeared, his sister's death was definitely his fault.
From the time I can remember, it's as if I'm never full. No matter how much I eat, I never feel satisfied. I feel hungry all the time, and even if I eat a lot, I only feel a little bit of satisfaction.
But that's all.
If she were to become so hungry that she didn't know what she would look like.
Like when I met Bai Qian, I was already very close to that state. If it had been a little later...
He subconsciously thought of the bloated demons that were scattered all around Taiheng City.
Of course she would feel like a monster, a complete monster.
They just haven't been willing to admit it, because who would want to admit it anyway?
The reason why this wasn't mentioned to Bai Qian and Bai Yao was because of what Nian Cheng had told her before: don't talk to anyone about your situation. It was also because she was extremely terrified of her own situation, as it was like admitting that she was a monster.
She dared not think about how others would view her if she admitted it.
Then that kind of thing happened.
As it turns out, he was indeed a monster. Even though Bai Yao and Bai Qian could avoid mentioning it, Nian Qi was also very aware of this.
I didn't want to bother them any further.
Walking forward was still a bit strenuous. Although I considered myself a monster, it seemed that apart from never feeling full, I was no different from an ordinary person.
She chuckled to herself for a moment, then laboriously climbed to the top of the mountain and saw the temple not far away. A massive, imposing banyan tree surrounded the temple, and just standing there, she felt a chilling aura emanating from it.
It should be fine, right...?
With doubts in his heart, but thinking about what he wanted to do next, he silently made a decision and walked forward.
She slowly walked into the dim and gloomy temple, the shadows at her feet dancing with her slightly slow steps, deep within the temple.
The old man, surrounded by thousands of thick, gnarled tree roots, quietly watched Nianqi slowly walk into the temple, his cloudy eyes reflecting the girl's face covered with deep purple patterns.

“I did it as the Demon King Hong instructed. He told me to guard this place and to try to capture any intruders. If I couldn’t capture them, I should pass the information to him,” the woman with double eyes said obediently as she knelt down.
Bai Yao stood in front of her asking about related matters, while Bai Qian... Bai Qian was still collecting centipede limbs, pulling out limbs that were almost as tall as herself one by one with her short legs. When she carried the limbs forward, she could not always see the road ahead.
The centipede should be the true form of the compound-eyed woman. However, when the compound-eyed woman saw Bai Qian breaking off and collecting the centipede's segments one by one, she dared not say anything and let this little darling break them off.
Centipede limbs are actually quite beautiful, covered with layers of bright yellow patterns that overlap on a black background, creating a rather stimulating visual effect.
"Demon King Hong?" Upon hearing this crucial information, Bai Yao frowned slightly and looked at the woman with compound eyes.
But when faced with Bai Yao's gaze, the woman with compound eyes only lowered her head timidly twice and did not answer the question.
Bai Yao understood that he had been placed under a restriction, and mentioning this demon king would result in his death.
"So it's also in Taiheng now?"
The compound-eyed woman hesitated for a moment, but when she sensed the gaze of the girl holding the arthropod beside her, she shrank back and nodded.
What about the cave?
"This is the place in the pavilion used for experiments. It used to be used to test the Heavenly Array to turn people into demons, but later it was moved to another location."
"A hungry beast?"
"As you can tell, it is indeed a hungry beast. We learned about this from the local deities several years ago and have been researching it ever since."
"Yang Gong?" Is he connected to the local deities? Bai Yao naturally thought of this person.
"Yes, it is Him."
"Anyway, after all these years of research, we have made some preliminary progress. We originally planned to use this to bring Him back to life after the Lotus Life Cult's rituals ended." In order to save her life, the compound-eyed woman said everything she could.
I didn't dare to lie either, because the little tyrant next to me, who was moving limbs one by one like a bricklayer, didn't seem easy to talk to.
"Don't you know where it is?" Bai Qian put the last segment into the Willow Shade Mansion, then approached Bai Yao and asked the woman with compound eyes. She also wiped Bai Yao's clean clothes with her hands to remove the pale green blood.
Bai Yao flicked his fair forehead hard with her finger, and he covered his flushed forehead with both hands.
The woman with compound eyes dared not answer, for she could not afford to offend either side.
"What about Chenghe and Nianqi that year?" Bai Yao continued to ask.
Upon hearing Bai Yao's question, the woman with compound eyes shook her head blankly.
"never heard of that."
Bai Yao frowned slightly upon hearing this, but she knew that what the compound-eyed woman said was probably not a lie.
"Forget it, we already know what we need to know. Let's go to Yang Gong's place." Bai Yao didn't want to make things difficult for the person opposite her.
"Killed him?" Bai Qian raised [Su Tang] and blinked.
"Whatever you want, Xiaoqian."
Upon hearing this, the woman with compound eyes kowtowed to Bai Qian several times.
"If you want to know anything else, I will tell you everything I can. If you want me to do anything else, I will do it. I have several young children waiting for me at home. Please."
Bai Yao looked at the compound-eyed woman, who was almost banging her head until it bled, with considerable surprise upon hearing this.
It was surprising that demons also had families.
Bai Qian looked at the compound-eyed woman who was kowtowing repeatedly, thought for a moment, and then took back the [Sugar Candy].
Forget it, there's no need.
