Even without cheats, we must survive the apocalypse

So Yuanxi didn't know him.

Naturally, he wouldn't know Murong Xue.

"what's your name?"

"Yuanxi..."

There was a hint of fatigue in her voice. She was seriously injured. At least being able to escape here had already exhausted her little strength. At this moment, Yuanxi was weak all over and her blood was still being lost. The body of a demon was supposed to be stronger than that of a human, but now she was extremely weak due to the loss of blood.

She even had no strength left to stand, and could only lean against the cliff next to her to keep her balance. The crack was very close to the rift cliff, and Lu Mu hoped that she would not fall down, so that he would not have to catch her.

"We don't really care why you are here, but I hope you can take us to the territory of your Dark Thousand Kite Clan."

Murong Xue looked at her and said calmly.

"The territory of Dark Thousand Kite... No! Bringing humans into our territory without permission is a serious crime."

Yuanxi gritted his teeth, endured the severe pain from the wound, and refused without hesitation.

She didn't believe the person in front of her, especially Murong Xue, who had easily made the Qingxiao Eagle Clan who had chased her so badly kill each other. In just a cup of tea, the ground was already filled with blood and flesh. She was more afraid of the snow-haired woman in her heart.

If we bring her into our tribe's territory and she gets into trouble, won't our family members suffer?

Moreover, the Dark Thousand Kite clan itself is very hostile to humans.

The Southern Region was not once a human territory. After the decline of the demon race, it was the only vast area where demons lived. Humans had no intention of continuing to intervene in the Southern Region, but the occurrence of the Xuantian Catastrophe forced the demons to cooperate with humans in order to survive this world-destroying disaster.

Then, now that they are here, they can’t be driven away.

Therefore, among the powerful demon tribes in the Southern Territory, none of them like humans.

She looked at Murong Xue, her beautiful eyes seemed to be burning with scorching flames.

"You misunderstood. My brother Mu and I are not going to cause trouble."

"We won't hurt you, nor will we force you to do anything you don't want to do. It's okay if you don't tell us. We can just take some time to look for it ourselves."

Murong Xue could see that she was afraid of her, so she took out a healing pill that replenished her qi and blood and threw it to her.

"But you can save us some time."

Yuanxi took the elixir in his hand, a little hesitant.

She could feel that the efficacy of this elixir was amazing and its quality was very high. Pills of this level were not uncommon in the Southern Region, but she, a demon who had just entered the Pi Palace, was definitely not qualified to eat it... She looked at Murong Xue hesitantly, then raised her head to look into the distance. The Qingxiao Eagles had killed each other and there were not many left. The strongest one was now covered in the blood and flesh of his own people, which was truly horrifying.

"Please tell us, what are you going to do in my territory?"

Yuanxi finally chose to swallow the healing pill. She began to consider the truth in Murong Xue's words, but if she didn't take the pill, her seriously injured body might not last long.

"Well... Brother Mu is the Prince of the Holy Phoenix. Since the last princess of the Nine-Feathered Holy Phoenix is ​​in your clan, he has to go... to see her."

Murong Xue gently touched the muscles on Lu Mu's waist and lower abdomen. Lu Mu glanced at her and pinched her perky buttocks, causing Murong Xue to moan.

"Don't make a scene here."

He faced Murong Xue's resentful and charming eyes and turned his face slightly.

"Know it."

Murong Xue glared at him coquettishly and licked her cherry lips with her tongue.

Lu Mu turned his head and ignored her, while Yuan Xi was stunned.

Prince of the Holy Phoenix?

What Holy Phoenix Prince?

That Saint Phoenix Princess was indeed the last Saint Phoenix with Nine Feathers in the world, and she never said that any of her relatives were still alive. Although humans could also become guests of honor of the demon race, for example, there were actually some powerful humans in the Thousand Demon Hall, and they had a closer relationship with the demon race, but...

But Yuanxi quickly dispelled the confused doubts in his heart.

Because Lu Mu activated his natal phoenix bone.

The phoenix bone on his body emitted a light red halo, along with two erratic streaks of sparkle that flew past the corners of his eyes. Yuanxi could clearly sense that the pressure from Lu Mu made her tremble all over.

That is the suppression of blood.

Yuanxi was just an ordinary member of the tribe, not qualified to meet the Holy Phoenix Princess up close, but she had also felt the trembling and trance from her that came from deep in her blood, and the pressure emanating from the human in front of her... was even stronger than hers!

She had an expression of disbelief on her face.

And Lu Mu knew that Yuanxi had already convinced him.

Much easier to handle.

"I suppose you would be happy to lead the way for us, Kite Creek?"

Lu Mu asked with a smile.

Yuanxi was still immersed in shock.

But...she still nodded.

"Wow—!"

An eagle's cry was heard from the sky. Looking up, the Qingxiao Eagle, which was at the fourth level of the Pi Palace and was covered in blood and flesh, had already pounced towards Yuanxi. He had already killed all of his own kind, and now, his completely crazy mind made him continue his killing spree, so he chose Yuanxi who had reappeared.

Yuanxi had just become alert when the huge monster body of the Qingxiao Eagle clan suddenly became suspended in mid-air. After a burst of unusual violence and agitation, he exploded.

When the charm entered his body, his life and death were already in Murong Xue's hands.

The blood and energy of the demon race is too powerful.

So it is too easy to make them explode with their own blood and energy.

Chapter 19: Lu Mu's Maternal Instinct

The last Qingxiao Eagle didn't even scream. Its body exploded into blood mist, and turned into a bloody rain and wind all over the sky. The strong and pungent smell of blood spread in the air. Then, Murong Xue withdrew her hand and looked at Yuanxi: "Okay, we can go now."

"……okay."

Yuanxi agreed stupidly, and the fear and dread that had slightly eased in his heart were raised again in an instant.

At least she gave him a high-quality elixir for healing and replenishing blood. She was so generous to a monster she was not familiar with, but to the Qingxiao Eagle tribe... this snow-haired woman seemed only slightly stronger than her, but no matter how ruthless her method was or how sudden the move was... Yuanxi had not seen many humans, and she was the first person who brought him so much fear.

If it weren't for the blood pressure displayed by Lu Mu, Yuanxi would not have dared to agree to their request.

Of course, Yuanxi didn't think too much about it.

The Holy Phoenix Princess was already mysterious enough in their tribe. Most of the tribe members didn't know her origin, age, and strength. If a human who was somewhat related to her suddenly appeared... well, it wouldn't be too strange, right?

She was still a little nervous.

The Dark Thousand Kite tribe is in a turbulent time right now, and I hope that bringing humans back will not cause resentment among the elders...

As Yuanxi thought about it, she couldn't help but secretly glance at Lu Mu, and saw that he was still looking into the distance with a calm expression, as if he was not worried at all about what he was about to face. Maybe it was because these two people came prepared?

she does not know.

Thinking of this, Yuanxi felt a little relieved.

……

The territory of Anyou Qianyuan was some distance away, so they traveled at full speed without resting. Soon it was dark, and they finally stopped in a dense forest to rest. Lu Mu and Murong Xue still had the strength to continue, but Yuanxi did not have that spare energy.

Her injuries could not be completely healed by a high-quality pill.

Late at night, the three set out again and did not arrive at their destination until the sun rose in the early morning.

This is a huge wilderness, vast and boundless, with no end in sight. In the distance are towering mountains. The wild atmosphere floating in the clouds, compared with this not-so-fertile spiritual land, seems a bit lonely and desolate.

Yuanxi guided them towards the city in the wilderness.

"This way..."

As we got closer, the outline of the city gradually emerged.

Qianyuan City just stands on this vast land. Its city walls are built in a rather simple and heavy style, and the appearance is a bit rough. Lu Mu can even smell the ferocity unique to the demon race.

He looked at the palace in the city from afar and narrowed his eyes.

"Once you enter the city, some of the tribesmen might treat you badly... well, please don't blame them."

Yuanxi hesitated a little, and the meaning of her words was confusing, but Lu Mu and Murong Xue both understood what she wanted to say, which was that the Dark Thousand Yuan was not particularly friendly to humans.

In fact, to most of the demon tribes in the Southern Territory, humans are an alien species that is incompatible with them. It is already good enough if they do not fight each other when they meet. A lot of blood has been shed between them. It may not be possible for humans to live peacefully in the territory of the demon tribes in the Southern Territory.

Dark Thousand Kite has had a lot of interactions with humans. In the Southern Region, weak tribes have submitted to the Thousand Demon Palace, and those with large families and wealth, like Dark Thousand Kite, have to consider more things...

All in all, they may have a lot of exchanges of interests with humans, but that's all.

If they let strangers into their territory, they would probably cause unhappiness.

Of course, even so, it is still considered friendly.

Those unfriendly ones will eat humans alive when they see them.

"Just lead the way, young lady. We understand what you said."

Lu Mu chuckled.

Yuanxi's face turned red and she lowered her eyes. It wasn't that she was attracted to him, but she felt that she seemed to have worried too much and it made her feel embarrassed.

With her leading the way, they entered the city without causing any trouble, although the guy in charge of guarding the city was still very wary. It seemed that no human had visited this city for a long time. Yuanxi first took them back to the small courtyard where they lived. As soon as they opened the door, a much thinner girl rushed over.

The girl was sobbing and lying in Yuanxi's arms. Lu Mu heard what she said. The girl was Yuanxi's sister and she hadn't seen Yuanxi for more than seven days. She was very anxious and had cried several times.

While comforting her, Yuanxi cast apologetic looks at Lu Mu and Murong Xue.

They just expressed understanding.

What else could happen?

"Sister... why did you bring two humans back? If Elder Li finds out that you brought humans back, he will scold you again..."

The younger sister poked her head out from Yuanxi's arms, her eyes filled with tears, and looked at Lu Mu and Murong Xue with caution.

Yuanxi patted her head and coaxed her in a low voice: "It was them who saved me, otherwise I wouldn't be able to come back in time to take care of you now."

Hearing this, the younger sister was stunned. She blinked her eyes, looked at Lu Mu and the others carefully, and finally said doubtfully: "Really?"

Lu Mu and Murong Xue both nodded.

This sister doesn't look much younger than Yuanxi. Her actual age is definitely more than ten times that of Lu Mu. But she still looks very innocent and weak, which reminds Lu Mu of Chi Xin. The days when he traveled with that little foodie are actually not that far away.

Yuanxi coaxed her sister into the house, then said to Lu Mu, "If you want to come and see His Majesty the Holy Phoenix... maybe it won't be that easy."

"She is in the palace in the city, right?"

"How did you..."

"Don't forget why I am called the Holy Phoenix Prince."

Lu Mu smiled calmly. Before entering the city, he had already felt something in his phoenix bone. Now that he was in the city, the feeling became much clearer. Feng Yan'er was in that palace, and he just needed to go there.

He now had a subtle sense of eagerness to see Feng Yan'er, but that thought was unconsciously emanating from the phoenix bone.

Feng Qingluo is dead, but the phoenix bones she left behind are actually spiritual things. As Lu Mu's cultivation improved, the consciousness left by Feng Qingluo has long disappeared, but Lu Mu was also affected.

What is the impact...

I'm afraid he's a little more maternal.

Of course, it’s only to Feng Yaner.

If a mother is separated from her child for too long, she will naturally long for reunion.

When this feeling of longing had extended into Lu Mu's thoughts, he didn't seem to hate this feeling.

"If you want to force your way in...please don't be too harsh on my people."

There seemed to be many words of warning in Yuanxi's throat, but in the end, she just said this.

Chapter 20: She is like the fire of red lotus

Finally, Yuanxi decided to lead the way.

It's not that they are worried that Lu Mu and the others can't find the palace, but that the palace is guarded by strong men in the tribe, and ordinary people are absolutely not allowed to get close to it. There are not many people in the tribe who are arranged in the palace to take care of Feng Yan'er's daily life. Yuanxi only knows that they were all personally selected by Yuanyu, the daughter of the tribe leader, to ensure their absolute loyalty to Feng Yan'er.

In the big clan of Anyou Qianyuan, Yuanxi did not have a very prominent position, and she was not particularly smart. She just lived like this with her sister, but she could actually understand why His Highness the Holy Phoenix always had a subtle wariness towards the Anyou Qianyuan clan... She occasionally heard some "strange" words about the Nine-feathered Holy Phoenix, and the clan seemed to have very different opinions on her arrival.
