Each world be

Chapter 192: Damn it, my disciple is the Demon Lord 11

The animal in his hand uttered a weak cry, a cautious signal of flattery and distress.

Shi Qing gently stroked its rough and tangled hair to comfort it.

"Who are you? If you know what's good for you, return the fox to us immediately." A man threatened in a hoarse voice.

Shi Qing raised his head and looked in the direction of the voice, "Is this your fox?"

"Of course!" The man answered again, his tone very arrogant.

"I think this little fox and I have a destiny. If this warrior is willing, can you exchange it with spirit stones?"

Several people hesitated and discussed in low voices for a few seconds, and finally asked her: "This fox is a top-quality snow fox. There is no other like it in the entire Bingbo Continent. How many spirit stones do you plan to get?"

Shi Qing took out a heavy bag from his storage bag and threw it to the man, "Is that enough?"

The man took it with both hands, opened it and saw more than a dozen high-quality spirit stones shining.

"Enough, enough." They immediately smiled flatteringly.

They had just seen this fox in the wild and were planning to catch it and sell it to some wealthy families. Now they met such a fool that he was willing to exchange it for more than a dozen high-quality spirit stones.

"Girl, walk slowly."

Shi Qing nodded, put the little fox in his arms, isolated the wind and snow, and slowly walked away.

Maybe it was because of the cold or hunger, but the little fox's body temperature was getting lower and lower. Even when nestled in her arms, it was still shivering and calling softly from time to time.

If it weren't for my keen listening skills, I would hardly hear it.

Finally, Shi Qing decided to find a place to check on the little fox's condition first.

After walking for a long time, Shi Qing finally found an inn on the deserted street.

Pushing open the heavy door, the noisy sound was instantly amplified. Unlike the freezing cold outside, this place was like a big furnace, warm and toasty, like midsummer.

On the tables and chairs on the first floor, a dozen men were chatting, some sitting, some standing, or leaning against the wall. They were talking and drinking, and there was no woman who looked out of place.

The crowd was too noisy, speaking a language she didn't understand, but their tone was extremely heated, as if they were arguing about something.

Shi Qing didn't know who the shopkeeper was for a moment.

So, she grabbed someone and asked, "Excuse me, who is the shopkeeper?"

The man was leaning against the wall listening to the discussion. She pulled him aside, and without turning his head, he pointed casually, "Look, it's right there."

Shi Qing naturally didn't know which direction he was pointing at. Just as she was about to ask him, the man suddenly reacted and turned back to look at her.

Suddenly, he screamed in surprise.

The air suddenly became quiet, and Shi Qing clearly felt that all eyes around her were focused on her.

Vigilance, scrutiny, disgust, hatred... in short, it was all undisguised malice.

Shi Qing tensed up instantly and prepared to retreat calmly.

Those people stood up one after another, with fierce eyes, and approached step by step.

They muttered something, raised their arms and shouted, making some kind of excited sound.

When I don’t understand, I still smile and try to communicate and explain:

"I'm new here and I mean no harm. You may have misunderstood something."

One of the men, with a full beard and a fierce look on his face, was the first to raise the big knife on the table, making a sound of sharp weapons colliding.

Then, the crowd rushed up instantly.

Shi Qing saw that the situation was not right, so he turned around and ran, and the group of people followed closely behind him, carrying swords and axes.

Shi Qing didn't understand the situation, so he didn't take any action, but just used his spiritual power to get rid of their pursuit.

Soon, Shi Qing left them far behind and quickly jumped over the wall. Those people couldn't find him and left angrily.

The surroundings were quiet, as if it was someone else's small courtyard. Apart from the rich fragrance of flowers, there was no other scent.

Shi Qing carried the little fox to a sheltered place and checked it with peace of mind.

The little fox's fur was rough and greasy, probably because it had been wandering outside for a long time. It didn't have much flesh to the touch, and there were only a few inconspicuous scratches on its body.

Apart from this, there were no other injuries.

Shi Qing comforted it with a few words, and at this moment, a series of light footsteps came closer and closer.

"Huh? Who are you? Why are you in my house?"

The person who came was a pretty girl, about fifteen or sixteen years old. She was obviously startled when she saw Shi Qing suddenly appear.

Shi Qing said softly, "I got lost and came here by mistake. I hope you can forgive me, young lady."

The girl saw that she didn't look like a bad person, noticed her eyes, and believed her words.

Seeing the little fox humming in Shi Qing's arms, she smiled and turned to the kitchen to get some food.

The girl's name is Xiaoxue. She is an ordinary citizen who lives here with her parents. Because her family is in financial difficulty, she often works for others to earn family subsidies to support her life.

After learning about what Shi Qing had experienced, Xiaoxue suddenly understood and explained everything one by one.

They are now in a remote town on the border of the Ice Island.

The town has a harsh climate, with strong winds and heavy snow being common, so the population is sparse. The main residents here are the Javanese people, who are tough and live happily together.

However, just ten years ago, many people in strange costumes inexplicably came to this town. They ignored the Javanese people's dissuasion and insisted on breaking into the holy land.

Because of the restrictions in the holy land, they have gained nothing over the years.

However, since then, those people have continued to come, causing great trouble to the locals.

Shi Qing asked her about the holy land and the purpose of those people going to the holy land.

Xiaoxue thought for a few seconds, "Those people said they were looking for some ice crystal stone. They said that thing is at the guardian statue of the holy land. If we want to take it out, we must smash the guardian statue. This is against the taboo of the Java tribe and disrespectful to God. We must be punished."

So, the Javanese refused and then those people continued to harass.

Just yesterday, those people found a way from nowhere to break the ban of the holy land.

"What about the guardian statue?" Shi Qing asked her.

Xiaoxue sighed, "The guardian statue came alive and ran away."

Shi Qing was surprised.

Xiaoxue continued to explain that the guardian statue was originally an ice sculpture, but for some reason it suddenly came to life and ran to the plateau glacier.

The group of people in the inn were probably worried about this.

Shi Qing was wearing a cloak and did not fit in with the locals. She happened to break in, so the locals probably thought that Shi Qing was in the same group as the thieves and chased her without knowing why.

"After the stone statue runs away, what are the Java people going to do?" Shi Qing touched the little fox who was eating.

"What else can we do? It's probably going crazy. The guardian statue is extremely ferocious now. It's high up on the glacier. No one can do anything to it."

Shi Qing thought for a while, then looked up and said, "Miss Xiaoxue, can you lead the way for me to where the guardian statue is? I will definitely reward you."

"Okay."

Shi Qing thought she would hesitate, but Xiaoxue agreed directly and explained with a smile, "You can make money wherever you go. It's just a matter of leading the way. You can also get money. Why not do it?"

"Little fox, I'm going to a very dangerous place next, so I can't take you with me. Now, you're not in any danger, so let's go."

After the little fox had eaten its fill, it stopped humming.

Hearing this, it raised its head and moved closer to Shi Qing, licked Shi Qing's hand, and made soft sounds, as if expressing gratitude and affection.

The tongue had a rough, thorny feel and a strong presence. Feeling the wetness on the back of his hand, Shi Qing smiled, stroked its head, and scratched its chin.

"Be careful next time." After giving it a final warning, Shi Qing and Xiao Xue stood up and were about to set off.

After taking a few steps, I felt a noticeable pulling sensation at the end of my skirt, and a humming sound came from under my feet.

The little fox circled around her feet, biting the hem of her skirt with its fangs, but not hard.

"Miss Yun, I think this little fox is very smart, and it seems to like you very much, so why don't you take it with you?" Seeing the white fox blocking her feet, Xiaoxue spoke with a smile.

"People here believe that everything has spirits. They say that every living thing has a soul. If you save it, it will definitely repay you, otherwise it will not leave easily."

After hearing her explanation, Shi Qing squatted down and said, "Do you really want to follow me? The road ahead may be very dangerous."

It was not known whether the little fox understood or not. It stretched out its tongue again and carefully licked Shi Qing's slender fingers. It called out twice but did not leave.

In the end, Shi Qing still carried the little fox to the snowy glacier.

Fearing that it couldn't stand the cold, she used her spiritual power to form a shield to block the chill.

In this way, under Xiaoxue's guidance, the two people and the fox arrived at the snowy glacier.

Everywhere you look, there is thick ice, towering ice peaks, steep ice cliffs, white snow, and biting cold winds.

The huge guardian statue squatted motionless on the highest ice peak.

The snow on the ground was thick and soft in some places. If you stepped on it carelessly, it would go over your knees. The higher you went, the more rugged it became. It was almost impossible to find a safe place to stand. In addition, the cold wind was strong, so it was difficult for ordinary people to walk up.

On the glacier several hundred meters high, dozens of people were moving back and forth on the glacier, wearing felt hats, clothes made of various furs, and heavy leather boots, which could protect them from the dampness and cold of the melting snow.

Xiaoxue pointed at them and introduced Shi Qing:

"The Jawa tribe is not far ahead. They are probably discussing how to bring the guardian statue back."

Shi Qing released her spiritual power. A few hundred meters away, those people were still speaking a language she couldn't understand, muttering something that she couldn't understand.

"Do you understand Javanese?" Shi Qing tilted his head slightly.

Xiaoxue blurted out: "Of course."

Shi Qing lowered his brows and thought for a moment, then observed the place for a while. Apart from the Java people, there was no sign of anyone else here.

As for the outsider Xiaoxue mentioned, it seemed that he gave up and left because he was helpless against the guard statue.

What Shi Qing was looking for was naturally the ice crystal stone. Although she didn't know why the outsider was not there, time was limited, so she decided to go directly to check the guardian statue.

For the little fox's safety, Shi Qing handed it over to Xiaoxue.

"I'm going to go find the guardian statue later. Little fox, can you please keep an eye on it for a while?"

Xiaoxue took the soft little fox and looked surprised. "You are here to look for the guardian statue too. Are you really in the same group with those people?"

"No." Shi Qing explained, "I did come here for the ice crystal stone, but I have nothing to do with those people."

Xiaoxue touched the fox's fur unconsciously. "Although I don't know what you guys are looking for that thing for, you still have to be careful. That guardian statue can hurt people."

Shi Qing nodded, and then, in Xiaoxue's surprised gaze, she formed a seal with her hands, flew on the sword, and went straight to the guardian statue on the ice peak.

The Java people standing low immediately saw Shi Qing flying in the sky and started pointing at her and shouting.

When the people around saw this, they all stared at her movements intently.

Shi Qing quickly approached the guardian statue with his sword.

This sculpture is made of ice crystals and looks like a dog, with a big tail coiled behind it. What's amazing is that the hair on its body is very realistic and the texture is very fine, and you can even see the three-petal spark pattern on its forehead.

It has a huge body, strong limbs, and lies entirely on the ice peak, almost blending in with the surrounding glaciers.

At this time, its eyes were tightly closed, its eyelashes were long and curled, it was motionless and not breathing, and it seemed to be completely unaware of Shi Qing's approach.

Shi Qing flew his sword around it several times, but still couldn't determine where in its body the ice crystal stone that others had mentioned was.

She pursed her lips and approached cautiously. Just at this moment, the eyes in front of her suddenly opened, and a pair of black pupils stared straight at her.

It was an extreme darkness, like the darkness of an endless abyss under the earth, where not even a ray of light could penetrate. It made people feel a sense of weightlessness and panic, as if they were about to fall in the next second.

At this moment, it just lay there without saying a word, staring strangely at Shi Qing who was slowly approaching.

The difference in size between the two is very obvious. Shi Qing's body is not even as big as one of its eyes.

It didn't breathe, so Shi Qing didn't know what the guardian statue looked like. But soon, she keenly noticed something was wrong.

At this moment, a sound and a phantom image suddenly came out from the bracelet on my wrist.

The old man with white beard was excited, "The ice crystal stone is its eyes!"

The next second, the guardian statue suddenly opened its mouth and pounced towards her. The wind around it became stronger, and Shi Qing quickly dodged.

The guard flicked his tail, turned back suddenly, and stared menacingly at the ant-sized person in front of him.

Shi Qing stood on the sword, his expression tense, not daring to relax at all.

Judging from the wind it created just now, the guardian statue in front of her must be dozens of times larger than her and would be difficult to deal with.

Seeing that the attack failed, the guardian statue growled, bared its teeth, and raised its claws to slap her.

Shi Qing was prepared and dodged again.

The guardian statue seemed to be angry, using its claws, tail, and body to suppress him. Shi Qing came prepared, with all kinds of magical instruments to protect him, and he managed not to get hurt.

Under the violent movement, the guardian slipped and rolled down the ice peak. Like a huge rock rolling down, it rumbled and brought the snow covering the ice down with it.

The Java people below only saw a vast expanse of white snow rushing towards them. They cried out in frustration and hurriedly ran to the side, fearing that they would be affected.
