By reviewing the information provided before death.

Yan Jing learned that the top brass of Zhongshan City had already made a breakthrough in finding Zhulong.

After hundreds of years of hard work, these things have finally found the context hidden in the prophecies.

It doesn't take much thought to know that there are very few people who know this level of secret, but Yan Jing's time is limited.

Instead of spending time and energy collecting information layer by layer, it is better to do it in one step and start directly from the three demon kings.

Of course, Yan Jing knew very well that doing so was extremely risky.

His ability is not good at obtaining information, and he can only use foreign objects or extraordinary props.

The bug is a companion product to Yan Jing's pair of high-tech glasses.

Although the quality was only rare, he was sure that the demon cultivators in this world did not recognize such items.

No matter how elaborate their barrier was, it would be impossible to imagine that a metal ball no bigger than a soybean could hear their conversation.

As long as he remained silent and eavesdropped on the conversations of several demon kings in Tianjiao Palace, Yan Jing didn't think he would be discovered.

Things developed exactly as Yan Jing expected.

As soon as we walked down the mountain along the covered bridge, the voice of the Jiao Demon King came from the earphones.

Yan Jing glanced at Zhu Xia, who immediately understood and looked around, paying attention to the half-demon soldiers patrolling around to ensure that they would not notice anything strange about Yan Jing at this time.

"The Snake Mother's prophecy is correct, Yuan Gang is not the real destiny man. No, it should be said that he is not complete yet."

The voice of Demon King Jiao sounded in the earphones, and as soon as he mentioned the previous destiny man, Yan Jing raised his eyebrows and heard another voice in the earphones,

"Yuan Gang made us suffer a lot in the beginning. I'm afraid the destiny man this time is not an easy character to deal with."

"So what, we are now only one step away from awakening the candle dragon. After nearly a hundred years of planning and preparation, you know how many resources have been invested in making the bait container. You can't miss this opportunity!"

This time it was the Demon King Peng who spoke.

There was an internal meeting with only three demon kings present, and they obviously had no sense of confidentiality.

Hearing that they were only one step away, Yan Jing not only did not feel a crisis, but he breathed a sigh of relief. What he was most afraid of now was that even the Demon King of Zhongshan City had no clue about awakening Zhulong.

"How is it going?"

Seeing Yan Jing's expression changing, Zhu Xia pursed her lips and couldn't help but ask.

"Keep walking and wait until you reach a safe place."

There were half-demon soldiers guarding the area not far away. This place was obviously not suitable for discussing eavesdropping, Yan Jing said in a low voice.

Zhu Xia nodded to express her understanding and stopped asking further questions.

The two of them cooperated with each other to leave the mountain peak and arrived at the halfway point of Zhongshan City.

According to the agreement they made at the port, they had to rush to Songzhuju, located halfway up the mountain, as soon as possible to meet up with Lao Yuan.

The city is bustling late at night.

All kinds of strange-looking monsters can be seen everywhere on the streets entering and exiting the shops on the street, and there are even some humans mixed in among them. However, judging from their simple clothes and the tools at hand, they must be doing the lowest level of hard work.

At this time, the conversation in Tianjiao Palace has ended. Yan Jing has indeed obtained a lot of useful information and needs to find someone to help him.

After all, Yan Jing really didn't know much about the situation in Zhongshan City, and he had no idea about some of the things the Demon King mentioned during the conversation.

Zhu Xia's situation is similar.

She has been sleeping in Peng'an for nearly a hundred years, and her impression of Zhongshan City is still that of a hundred years ago.

Fortunately, with his identity as a translator, it was easy for Yan Jing to inquire about a place.

He stopped the patrol team passing by and easily learned the location of Songzhuju. He also learned that it was a time-honored tavern, which was quite famous in Zhongshan City. It was opened by a bamboo demon and a pine tree demon. This is how the "Songzhuju" came to be.

name.

With a clear address, Yan Jing and Zhu Xia quickly found it.

You can see the signboard of Songzhuju across half a street, and the business seems to be very hot at night.

Yan Jing stopped halfway and stopped Zhu Xia who was about to walk forward. He had no choice but to approach directly.

There are too many monsters coming and going in front of Songzhuju.

It's hard to guarantee that there won't be any monsters who know each other inside. If they are acquaintances, Yan Jing will be exposed after chatting for a few words.

After a brief thought, Yan Jing asked Zhu Xia to go over and try to contact Lao Yu, while he found a remote place to remove the effect of the spirit ring.

When he returned to his original position, the similarly disguised Lao Yuan was following Zhu Xia back.

"I have successfully eavesdropped on some information. How about you, have you contacted the aspiring demon from back then?"

Yan Jing motioned the two of them to lean against the street and asked.

On the way to Zhongshan City, Yan Jing learned through Lao Yu that Yuan Gang was not the only one who tried to save the world.

The latter is more like the banner erected by the monsters who rose up at that time to fight against the demon kings of Zhongshan City.

To put it bluntly, there are also some people in the demon clan who are unwilling to become crazy and evil.

They tried to use Yuan Gang's power to realize the prophecy.

It's just that the final result was unsatisfactory.

In fact, the fact that Zhongshan City has fallen into such a degenerate state is largely related to the heavy casualties suffered by those "aspiring demons".

Yuan Gang's death caused many monsters to completely lose hope and then sink completely.

"I'm pretty lucky. Although there aren't many old guys left, there are still some who are persisting. Follow me."

After Lao Yuan finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the alleyway on the side of Songzhuju. However, as soon as he stepped out, Yan Jing held his shoulder.

"Are they trustworthy?"

Yan Jing's belief in Lao Yuan does not mean that he believes in the latter's friends from a hundred years ago.

You must know that the erosion of evil spirits in Zhongshan City is only slowing down, not not disappearing!

"Don't worry, I've just tested it. If they have a problem, you won't be able to see me now."

Lao Yu understood Yan Jing's concerns and said in a deep voice.

Speaking of this, Yan Jing said nothing more and followed Lao Yuan directly along the lane to the back door of Songzhu Residence.

When they arrived at the door, Lao Yuan stepped forward and knocked on the door in a specific rhythm, which should be a secret signal between them.

The door opened, and a man and a woman appeared.

It was the shopkeeper of Songzhuju and his wife.

The man is slender and wears a robe embroidered with ink bamboo, while the woman is slightly richer and has a plump figure.

When the two of them saw Yan Jing for the first time, their expressions suddenly became excited. The man took a few steps forward and stared at Yan Jing's face.

"It looks so similar. It's unmistakable. You should be the new destiny person!"

Although they had just learned about the appearance of the Destiny Man from Lao Turtle, seeing Yan Jing's face that was 80% similar to Yuan Gang still made them unable to restrain themselves from recalling those experiences back then.

Yan Jing was also observing the two people in front of him at this time. Through perception, he could confirm that the condition of these two monsters was better than imagined, and the erosion of evil energy was much weaker than that of the monsters he saw along the way just now.

"The shopkeeper's name is Zhu Mo, and next to him is his wife, Song Yue. When Yuan Gang came to Zhongshan City to find a way to awaken Zhulong, he received their great help."

Lao Yuan explained beside him.

"It's just a trivial help. The two of us don't even have the ability to go to the battlefield. We can only provide some logistical and intelligence support. We only hope to help the people of destiny. If you need anything, please don't be polite!"

As spirits that were cultivated from plants, whether it was Bamboo Mo or Songyue, their combat capabilities were inevitably low, so in the operations that year, they were more often operated as logistics personnel.

It is precisely because of this that they survived the war and even hid in Zhongshan City to this day.

The group of people entered Songzhu Residence through the back door, avoiding the welcoming area of ​​the tavern, and came to the quiet room prepared by Zhumo in advance.

The soundproof barrier has been installed in advance, and the door is guarded by a trustworthy little demon.

Everyone took their seats.

"I left eavesdropping props in Tianjiao Palace, and I just happened to eavesdrop on the internal meeting of the three demon kings. There are some parts that I don't quite understand, and I need your help to answer them."

Taking a sip of tea to soothe his throat, Yan Jing said straightforwardly.

This is the main purpose of his coming here.

Mo Zhu and Song Yue, the couple, have been in Zhongshan City these years. They have personal experience of what happened back then and the changes in Zhongshan City over the years, and they undoubtedly have a better understanding.

"The Demon King was the first to mention the existence of the Snake Mother in the conversation. Through the Snake Mother's prophecy, they learned that the destined people would reappear in the world, so they sent the demon kings, such as the translators, to guard key passes outside Zhongshan City.

"

Yan Jing took out his glasses from his arms, played the previously recorded meeting, pressed pause on key points, and asked,

"What is the Snake Mother, the wizard in Zhongshan City?"

You must know that the prophecies about the destiny people were handed down from the Shinto hundreds of years ago. Now there are actually other beings who can glimpse the future direction, which makes Yan Jing quite concerned.

The arrival in this world was aided by the torch. Could it be said that this so-called "snake mother" can even predict the behavior of the torch?

Looking questioningly at the people in front of him, Yan Jing only saw the same confused faces.

"Snake Mother. There are indeed many famous snake demons in Zhongshan City in recent years. But we really don't know about the existence that can influence the decisions of existences such as the Dragon Demon King and make predictions about the destiny of the people."

Over the years, Zhumo has made acquaintance with many monsters through the reputation of Songzhuju, and the intelligence network he secretly built has helped him obtain a lot of inside information about Zhongshan City. However, he has never heard of the information about this snake mother.

Pass.

"We immediately sent people to investigate and try to figure out the origin of the snake mother as quickly as possible."

Songyue added next to her.

"No, I think I know where this snake mother came from. You can't find out."

Seeing that Zhu Mo and Song Yue had no relevant information, Yan Jing raised his hand and interrupted,

"Being able to make prophecies to the destined people, and then influence the demon king, allowing them to proactively issue various instructions. This snake mother can only be the extraterritorial demon who controls this world now!"

After the words fell, the quiet room fell into silence.

At that time, Yuan Gang made a big fuss in Zhongshan City. Until the battle with the three demon kings Jiao, Niu and Peng, the blood flowed like rivers and the corpses piled up like mountains. There was no outside demon to suppress it. This made many demons at that time think that the alien demon could not directly suppress it.

Come, secretly happy about this.

Accepting the rule of a demon king who is also a monster is more acceptable to monsters than accepting the rule of an indescribable extraterrestrial demon.

Now Yan Jing pierced the window paper without hesitation, making everyone present feel their hearts sinking.

It's not that they care about who rules Zhongshan City, but they all realize that if they want to change the world, the enemies they face will never be the three demon kings, but also the extraterrestrial demons hiding behind them!

Yan Jing knew that with the location of Songzhu, there was no chance of contacting the snake mother, so he did not let them waste time.

Press the play button.

"The second key point is that the Demon King mentioned that Yuan Gang is an incomplete man of destiny. This coincides with our speculation when we came. Yuan Gang's failure does not mean that the prophecy is wrong, but that he failed to meet the expectations of the prophecy.

Destiny’s request!”

Yuan Gang is a man of destiny, but not completely. He probably lacks something. Just like Yan Jing at this moment, he paused and raised his hand to open his clothes, revealing his smooth chest.

"As a destined person, I am most likely incomplete. The dragon-shaped mark mentioned in the prophecy did not appear. This probably means that my physical body failed to meet the prophecy or the requirements for awakening the candle dragon."

This is something that Yan Jing is very concerned about until now.

There is probably only one chance to awaken the candle dragon, and failure means that the mission is in dire straits.

Although Torch did not mention any punishment for failing the mission, Yan Jing knew very well that this recruitment mission was related to whether he could solve the current lunar crisis, and it was also a test for Torch.

"If I remember correctly, there is indeed a dragon-shaped mark on Yuan Gang's chest, but you just want to achieve it in a short time."

Zhumo was interrupted mid-sentence by Songyue standing up beside him.

"I remembered that Yuan Gang once mentioned why his physical body is so powerful. He never deliberately trained it, it was more like he was born with it. Yes, he said that he seemed to be born from spiritual stones. At that time, we

Just think he's having fun."

Recalling what happened in the past, Songyue couldn't help but smile helplessly,

"Yuan Gang has always had a noisy temper, but now that I think about it, if it wasn't for the blessings of heaven and earth, how could he be so strong!"

To be able to become a destined person recognized by the world, there is no doubt that Yuan Gang is powerful, but the source of his physical ability gives Yan Jing a headache. After all, it is impossible for him to replicate this process now.

no, wrong

The Torch cannot give an impossible task.

Not to mention the evil spirits hiding in the dark, the so-called Snake Mother, who also made prophecies.

There must be some way to become the destined person who can truly awaken Zhulong.

The glasses on the table were still playing what they had heard from the eavesdropping, and the demon kings began to talk about the bait trap that took a hundred years to make and was used to kill the candle dragon.

Yan Jing leaned on the seat and fell into deep thought. Then he seemed to have thought of something, raised his head and asked,

"After the war that Yuan Gang caused in Zhongshan City, where did his body go? Was it destroyed by demons, or did it go somewhere else?"

Since Yuan Gang became the Man of Destiny in the flesh, it is very likely that after his defeat, the demon kings would keep his body specially for the purpose of studying the Man of Destiny.
