Chapter 118 Merchant Bug Nine(1/2)
The entire box is completely sealed without any crack openings.
The empress was worried that she would break the meeting and make a big deal, so she asked someone to send it to Heijiu overnight.
It's a strange thing, Hei Jiu just got it.
The box cracked a crack, and then the box opened squeakingly, revealing a letter inside.
Hei Jiu quickly opened the letter paper, and there were only a few short sentences inside:
[If you want to save your sister, participate in the Demon Cloud Festival to win the first place, otherwise, wait for the corpse to be collected!
Remember, you are only allowed to come!]
After reading the content, Heijiu gritted his teeth and rubbed his eyes.
Then, he looked at the soldier in front of him with a smile:
"Go back and tell Your Majesty, don't worry too much. I will go out for a long trip and bring Bai Ling back after a while!"
After sending the soldiers who were passing the message away.
"Boom~"
The flames rushing up with the right hand burned the letter completely.
The expression on his face gradually became gloomy, and only the darkness remained in his eyes.
“How to do it?”
Alpha's voice came from his mind.
Hei Jiu sighed, trying to calm down temporarily:
"Do as you said in the letter first!"
"What after that?"
"Which aspect are you referring to?"
"For example, know who is the mastermind behind the scenes?"
"Is it necessary to say..."
The murderous intent and anger in his eyes were hidden deep under the dark eyeballs, and then he gritted his teeth and said word by word:
"I'll kill him sooner or later..."

The Demon Cloud Festival, a grand competition once every fifty years for the Demon Clan.
This year, there is only one month left before the Demon Cloud Festival.
Its place was held in Heishui Mountain in the north.
It took Heijiu almost half a month to travel from Yuecheng to Heishui Mountain.
Along the way, I met other demon nobles who went to Hei Shui Mountain. On several occasions, I almost discovered the identity of other people.
Usually, those who go to the Demon Cloud Festival in person are superpowers among the demons.
A country like the Black Fox Kingdom that can only be considered a powerful country is often not very interested in such grand events.
The king may do it, but it is not for the busy people below him.
But this also has benefits.
That is, Hei Jiu's fame is only spread in the Black Fox Kingdom and small surrounding countries. Almost everyone knows that he is a human race.
For the superpowers and super nobles who will participate in the Demon Cloud Festival.
Of course, they have never heard of Hei Jiu's fame, and these are also beneficial for Hei Jiu to hide his human identity.
After all, the Demon Cloud Festival is a game specially set for the demon race.
——
Heishui Mountain is a very majestic and endless old mountain, with huge black trees dozens of meters high everywhere.
When Hei Jiu arrived here, many demons had gathered at the foot of the mountain.
There is a large town here called "Hei Water City".
The business of the hotel in the city has been particularly popular in recent days. After all, this year is the year of the 50-year Magic Cloud Festival.
——
When entering the city, the city gate officials carefully checked, and a few search officers with very sensitive noses would smell them carefully by the person entering for a few seconds.
Seeing this scene, Heijiu's idea of entering through the main entrance was a little disappointed.
The black robe on his body can cover the breath of his human race, but this is only effective for demons with insensitive sense of smell.
And once you encounter a demon with extremely sensitive smell?
In a sense, the black robe on my body became a decoration.
Just as hesitating, someone behind him suddenly patted his shoulder.
The dagger instinctively pulled out from his waist, and Hei Jiu put the knife on his neck in a blink of an eye.
"Oh brother, don't be impulsive!"
When I looked closely, I saw a man in his early 20s wearing a shabby gray robe.
He is thin, 1.75 meters tall, and has a smiling face.
But unlike himself, the man had a little bulging behind his back, and it seemed like a pair of wings was covered under his robe.
"Who are you?"
Hei Jiu, who took back the dagger, was still alert.
The man smiled and said:
"This guest, let me introduce myself. My name is Chongjiu, and I am a wandering businessman."
"Do you have something to do?"
"Hehe, I saw the guest hesitating here for a long time. Could it be that he was afraid that the race would be discovered, so he refused to enter the city?"
These words immediately made the stone in Heijiu's heart hang up.
Could it be that this guy discovered his human identity?
Hei Jiu had the idea of kicking the other party away and then running away quickly.
Unexpectedly, the other party came over the next moment and said quietly:
"Brother, like me, is a race that is racially discriminated against, so I'm embarrassed to go in?"
"Race……"
Hei Jiu was stunned for a moment, and then gradually came back to his taste.
There are many races in this demon race, and if there are too many, there will inevitably be a chain of contempt. Naturally, some races will be disgusted by other races.
"What race are you?"
Hei Jiu asked tentatively, and Chongjiu gently threw his gray robe and let Hei Jiu look at his wings.
Hei Jiu glanced at it and saw the translucent thin wings in the grid.
"dragonfly?"
"Hey, if I were a dragonfly, why would I hide it so much!"
"Then are you..."
Chongjiu lowered his voice and said:
"fly……"
"Uh, oh..."
Heijiu understood it all at once.
Because of the evolution of the fly, its body always wanders in toilets and other places.
Therefore, even if it evolved into the subhuman demon race, it is often discriminated against as a joke.
Especially some people who have a cleanliness obsession will go crazy as long as they are with the fly tribe.
In short, he is just an unpopular low-level demon clan.
——
"Hey, brother, I saw you hesitate here for a long time. What race are you from?"
"It's useless to tell you."
