Helan Jiu calmed down, knowing that he couldn't be willful at this moment.

Because of a powerful creature like the Hooked Snake, she knew that she couldn't fight it, and only the demon could save her. Of course, she didn't regret stealing the beads from the Hooked Snake, and even if she didn't, the Hooked Snake wouldn't necessarily let her go. Don't forget, the Ice Jade Lotus is on her body, and when they were in the Great Cave, they already had a grudge.

Dongfang Chen protected her under his wings, and looked at the bottom of the hooked snake's eyes, which were as deep as a black abyss.

The human form of the hooked snake is a strong man. He stared at Helan Jiu's gaze, moved to Dongfang Chen, and after examining it for a while, he said in a determined tone: "You came down from above?" ”

Dongfang Chen asked indifferently: "So what?" ”

The hooked snake asked faintly, "What do you want to do to return the things to me?" ”

Dongfang Chen listened, and hooked the corners of his lips with satisfaction, "Twenty-four ice jade lotus seeds, or four drops of essence blood on your body." ”

Hearing Dongfang Chen's words, his eyes suddenly burst into light, as if he wanted to tear Dongfang Chen apart.

Both choices almost cost him half of his life!

Unexpectedly, the hooked snake held back and said angrily: "There are no ice jade lotus seeds." ”

"No, you have." Dongfang Chen affirmed, "The Ice Jade Lotus Seed is almost a hundred years, and it bears fruit once. ”

The hooked snake said irritably: "If you say no, you don't." ”

"Huh." Dongfang Chen chuckled.

The hooked snake glared angrily: "Every hundred years, someone from above will be sent to collect it. Uncle Ben is just in charge of guarding. ”

“？！ ……”

Dongfang Chen's smile condensed. He didn't take that into account.

Helan Jiu was in a fog when he heard it.

The general meaning is understood, that is, a certain demon thinks that the hooked snake should still have ice jade lotus seeds hidden, but the hooked snake denies it. In the end, he was forced by the Eastern Demon to reveal that he was only responsible for guarding the Ice Jade Lotus.

It's just that who is the one who collects every hundred years?

Dongfang Chen asked indifferently: "Which force is it from above?" ”

The hooked snake snorted coldly, glanced at Helan Jiu quickly, and remained silent.

Helan Jiu narrowed his eyes, the glance of the hooked snake just now, the careless point would be ignored, but he was still seen by Helan Jiu. That glance contained a lot of things, at least, it made her feel that the so-called forces above might have something to do with her. And then, Dongfang Chen magically didn't ask. And suddenly I don't ask, it's possible that I know something.

After a while, Dongfang Chen said: "Then you will have four drops of essence blood." ”

Four drops of essence blood, not ordinary blood!

The hooked snake struggled inwardly, "One drop! ”

"Not enough." Dongfang Chen refused, "Don't forget, you hit Jiu'er hard, and her injuries have not yet recovered." ”

"......" The hooked snake glanced at Helan Jiu gloomily again.

Suddenly, a golden auspicious light appeared in the sky.

The hooked snake's pupils shrank, and he glanced up at the sky above his head. He didn't have time to think about it, so he quickly condensed two drops of essence blood, packed it with a special jade porcelain, and then threw it to Dongfang Chen, and then threw a box containing nine ice jade lotus seeds to Dongfang Chen reluctantly, "That's all, hurry up and return Neidan to me!" ”

After Dongfang Chen checked it, his eyes were put away without blinking, he looked down at the person in his arms, and said with a smile: "Jiu'er, that bead is very important to others, and it is useless for you to pick it up, so return it to others." ”

"Okay." Helan Jiu is already trembling a little at the moment.
