677 Strange Reaction

When they heard this word again, the demons’ reaction became even stronger. They began to hit their heads and cry out.

The bird said helplessly, “Don’t say that word anymore. If you say that word again, we’ll all die!”

“Have you been cursed? Why can’t you hear this word?”

Jiang Ming realized the problem and looked at the bird strangely.

The bird had a strange expression on its face, but it refused to elaborate.

Jiang Ming understood what was going on and frowned. “Who put a curse on you? Was it done by the person who wielded the sword?”

The bird gulped and started to change the topic. “Let’s go eat something. These demons have a lot of delicious fruits and other things. You’ll definitely enjoy them. They’re very rare.”

At this point, the bird felt that its injuries had recovered a little, so it immediately recovered and returned to its human form.

The rest of the demons were excited again. They knelt down and kowtowed to the bird. “Congratulations, for returning to your original form, Master!”

Seeing this, Master Long and Jiang Ming were a little shocked.

Jiang Ming continued to ask, “Do you get such a big reaction every time you transform?”

“No,” the bird replied. “It’s because you’re here that they put on such a big show. They want you to know my position in the Hundred Demon Tower.”

When it came to its status, the bird chirped non-stop. “You don’t know how powerful I was when I led these demons to chase away the rebellious demons. All the demons hid behind me while I fought the others off. No one dares disobey me. They must listen to me.”

At this moment, the demons chimed in. “Master is wise.”

“You look young, but you’re quite capable,” Master Long praised the bird perfunctorily. “Just tell us where that thing is now, and we’ll go get it ourselves. We don’t need you to come with us.”

The bird started to stammer again. “No… No, you can’t take that thing away either. It has to stay in the Hundred Demon Tower…”

“Why?” Master Long lost his patience. “Do you want to be cursed that badly? Or is it because of that thing that these demons listen to you? If it’s gone, will they not listen to you?”

Hearing this, the bird grew incensed. “What nonsense are you talking about? How is that possible? These demons are loyal to me.”

At this moment, these demons also nodded their heads and said, “Yes, yes. We are all loyal to Master. We don’t have any other thoughts at all.”

“These demons seem a little strange.”

Master Long realized that something was wrong and whispered to Jiang Ming.

The bird still heard him. “What’s wrong with that? They just lost some of their beastly nature. Isn’t that good? They’re extremely docile and won’t attack you. If someone hurts you, feel free to come to the Hundred Demon Tower to find me. I will lead my demon armies and kill those who want to hurt you.”

The demons nodded and took out more treasures. One of them was a lamp that was brighter than the first one. There was an elf dancing on the lamp.

The demons began to tremble again. “The elf can answer every question you have.”

“How does this work?”

Master Long’s interest was piqued as he spoke to the little demon beside him.

The little demon coughed and said, “You can ask directly. You can also ask internally so that the other demons won’t hear you.”

Upon hearing this, Master Long was secretly delighted. He quickly asked internally, “Where is the sword that matches the Dragon Sword?”

The elf closed her eyes and pointed in a direction. She was not pointing at anything in particular. In fact, she was pointing at the bird.

The bird took a step back and looked on in surprise. Jiang Ming asked Master Long, “What did the elf say? Why is it pointing at the bird?”

Master Long immediately understood. He connected all the dots and quickly looked at Jiang Ming. He said, “This little guy stole the Dragon Sword. Bird, you should return the sword.” As he spoke, he looked at the bird.

Jiang Ming also looked at the bird and quickly said, “Yes, there are some things you have to return.”

When they heard the word again, the other demons hid in fear.

The bird dropped all pretenses and snorted coldly. “Why should I give you the Mated sword? The Mated sword is mine.”

“This Dragon Sword and the Mated Sword have belonged to the Long family since ancient times. However, due to some special circumstances, this Mated Sword was sent to the Hundred Demon Tower,” Master Long said unhappily.

The bird was a little surprised. “You… Are you from the Long family?”

Seeing that there was a chance to get it, Jiang Ming said, “He is indeed from the Long family. Not only that, but he is also the Long family’s master.”

Hearing this, the bird was enraged. “Why are the people of the Long family here? I remember that I set a restriction to keep them out. The members of the Long family are not allowed to come here.”

“So, it was your fault that I couldn’t come in!”

Master Long was furious. A golden sword appeared in his hand, and he pointed it at the bird.

The bird did not want to be outdone and immediately said, “It’s clearly the Long family that’s robbing the Hundred Demon Tower! Why won’t you allow me to set restrictions?”

“You’re talking nonsense. When did I let the Long family come here to rob and plunder the tower? Don’t slander me!”

Master Long was so angry that he was about to get ill again.

Jiang Ming was still relatively calm. He calmly persuaded Master Long, “What this bird said may not be the truth. Let’s not listen to everything it says. The most important thing now is to get back the Mated Sword.”

When it heard that they wanted to take back the Mated Sword, the bird wanted to run away, but it was pulled back by Jiang Ming.

The bird could not help but shout, “There’s no justice in this world! Why are you treating me like this? It’s clearly the Long family’s fault! Now you want to snatch the Mated Sword from the Hundred Demon Tower!”

“I think you’re talking nonsense. That’s why these demons are so afraid. You’d better tell us the truth. We won’t hurt you if you do.”

Jiang Ming patiently explained to the bird. He was trying to make it return to its original form.
