Legend of the Demon Emperor of Kyushu

Chapter 126 The Underworld Palace (1)

"thump!"

With a loud noise, the entangled shadows of man and wolf smashed into the ground.

Then--

"Cough! Cough... ah—"

After a violent coughing and moaning, the man stood up.

"You didn't fall to your death..." The old monster's tone was full of regret.

"Who let it be the bottom in the end? You monsters have committed too many crimes, and you have no luck." Ye Ziqi choked back.

Then, Ye Ziqi looked around - he and the wolf king fell to the bottom of the grotto, where the mist was lingering, it looked like a small forest with shadowy trees, and many ghost fires gathered around, illuminating the base of the stone peak strangely and gloomy .

Ye Ziqi felt that he was in danger, so he squatted down first, and retrieved his Tian Bu and Jian from the giant wolf's corpse.

"Old man, is there any poison in the fog?"

"What do you call this seat?"

"Old thing?"

"It's not poisonous, inhale, inhale."

"What the hell-"

Ye Ziqi knew that bickering was useless, so he summoned a giant leaf, and was going to fly back to join Baichengshuang first.

But the giant leaf fell to the ground and didn't move.

The old demon head said: "It seems that there is an enchantment here, which suppresses the escaping and flying techniques."

Ye Ziqi had no choice but to carefully explore the surroundings.

There are many strange plants growing under the pinnacle, and the air smells of sulfur.But there were no animals, not a sound to be heard.

"Go in the direction where the trees are sparse." The old demon head said suddenly.

Ye Ziqi headed north according to his words, and found that not only were there few plants here, but they all looked like they had been poisoned. They grew wiltingly, and some even died.

"I believe this is the shortest way out of the forest, but it doesn't look like there are good things waiting outside?" Ye Ziqi asked worriedly.

The old demon head replied indifferently: "Since you know that this is the Taotie's demon world, what are you afraid of? The demon king is dead, and there are some lingering remnants left, so there is no need to shrink back.

From my point of view, there is a lot of monsters under this stone peak, but the environment is harsh, and there will be no powerful monsters like the wolf king just now.This seat smells blood, the front should be the center of the demon world, maybe there is a way out. "

"The smell of blood?" Ye Ziqi sniffed his nose: "Where is it?"

He kept his eyes on his feet step by step, the embankment would hit a trap, but he still stepped into the soaked wet soil.

"The soil is really sticky. It doesn't rain underground. Is there an underground river here?"

"Boy, look up."

"It's so foggy, what are you looking at—"

When Ye Ziqi raised his head, he was stunned.

sea ​​of ​​blood.

The dense will-o'-the-wisps suddenly illuminated a large space in front of them, and outside the woods, there was nothing but unwavering, viscous, deadly blood.

"You can't smell it because you're used to it. Every inch of the ground you just walked on is soaked in blood."

Ye Ziqi was so disgusted that he almost fell to the ground. If it wasn't because he was still on the battlefield today and saw so many dead people, he might vomit it up immediately.

"Why did you bring me here?" Ye Ziqi questioned, "Didn't you see enough sea by the Wanmu River?"

"There is a way in the sea."

Ye Ziqi took a closer look, there was indeed a path paved with white stone slabs above the blood pool, and he didn't know where it led.

"Hurry up, the will-o'-the-wisps will follow you."

Ye Ziqi also understands that where there is a road, there will be an end, and it is worth paving a road specially, which means that the end is likely to be where the important organs of the demon world gather.

He mustered up the courage to step up, and as soon as he landed, his feet sank, and he immediately realized that his poor eyesight had made a mistake just now. The road under his feet was not paved with white stone slabs, but paved with bones.

Even both sides of the road are thoughtfully inlaid with skulls, which protrude together to prevent slipping and falling into the pool of blood.

Ye Ziqi walked forward quickly, and said silently: "The ancestors and ancestors of the old demon head follow me." The wind brought by the steps, as expected, led the ghost fire to follow behind him, and the dark green flames lined up in a long row, like A ghostly dragon.

Red and green contrasted each other, and then gray stone statues appeared beside the road.

Ye Ziqi squatted down and looked carefully, it was a stone statue of a leopard demon, reclining and sinking in the blood pool, with only half of its head exposed on the blood pool, walking forward, saw the stone statues of a lion demon and a ground wolf.

"It's the three beasts." Ye Ziqi said to himself: "This place is really desolate, and the stone statues of the leaders have collapsed, and there is no demon control. Maybe we can go deep into the center of this demon world, destroy the hub of demon power, and find a way out."

But the old demon sighed at this moment: "Tsk, it's easy to think about."

"what happened?"

"Send you a gust of wind."

As soon as the words fell, Ye Ziqi's eyes lit up with a golden glow, and a light wind blew up on the pool of blood, blowing the will-o'-the-wisps behind him to fly upwards.

Ye Ziqi turned his head anxiously: "What are you going to do to your ancestors?"

"Don't be poor, look ahead."

Ye Ziqi raised his head according to his words, and saw ghostly fires, all flying to the center of the blood pool, gathering light, illuminating the corners of the eaves, the high walls, Yuyu, and the rich gates inch by inch.

Ye Ziqi's mouth also opened wider and wider, until the huge monster fully appeared in the will-o'-the-wisp——

In the middle of the blood pool, there is a palace!
Broken and potholed stone statues are scattered around the palace, the silence is depressing, and the height that makes people feel small makes people shudder.

"Judging from the mana traces, this is the hub of the entire demon world." The old demon head said, "At first, I thought that the miasma, yin, and bloody atmosphere here were too heavy, and even monsters would not be willing to make a home here, but there is such a thing. It’s hard to tell if there’s an underground palace, maybe there’s something hidden inside.”

Ye Ziqi was astonished for a long time before he managed to say: "This must be the palace where Taotie used to live, right?"

"It must be. Why there is an enchantment nearby is also easy to explain. The demon king's residence, the demon sons and grandchildren are only worthy of walking to see them, to show their respect."

"Can I go in?"

"If you don't go in, you can swim around in the nearby pool."

"Tsk." Ye Ziqi thought that the choking fog here made people uncomfortable, so instead of spending time looking for other ways, it is better to go straight to Huanglong, go to the core of the demon world to try his luck, and find a way to destroy the demon world.With the knowledge of the old demon head, it should not be difficult to see through the secret passage of the mechanism. As long as there are no big monsters in it, the demon world can easily be broken.

How many times have you narrowly escaped death today?Originally, life was picked up, let's fight again.

If you don't enter a tiger's den, you can't get a tiger's son!

Adjusting her mentality, Ye Ziqi stepped on the causeway of bones and walked towards the demon palace.

Seen from a close distance, the palace wall looks even more majestic. There are no carvings on the wall, only the eerie green tiles illuminated by the will-o'-the-wisp.But when he got to the palace gate, he was surprised again, the palace gate was actually open, the left and right doors were closed, the left side was closed, and the right side was opened a crack, peeping inside, it was dark, but nothing could be seen.

The wind was cool and whizzing, as if blowing into the bottom of my heart, Ye Ziqi felt that he was standing in front of the gate of hell.

He tiptoed into the palace, this time stepping on real stone slabs.With his back against the door and the wall, he moved slowly, and soon touched the wall on the right. Judging from the distance, it was not a room, but a corridor.

The old demon head said: "Keep going, don't make a sound, I've put away all your anger, and you won't be easily discovered. There are footprints on the ground, new ones, there must be monsters inside."

After hearing this, Ye Ziqi knew that the old demon could see at night, but he couldn't see at all, so he could only listen to what it did.So he cautiously groped in the dark, but it was safe to move forward ten steps.

Finally, he stretched out his hand to feel for nothing, but he found a room.

The old demon head said: "Take the wall and walk five steps to the right, then turn left and walk ten steps, reach out and touch the wall."

"What's in this room?"

"There are no important things, a monkey statue, a disused alchemy furnace, broken stones and rubble."

"Monkey statue? There are no monkeys among the three beasts." Ye Ziqi secretly sighed, and then walked silently in the dark room as the old demon head said, and walked safely to the other side of the room.

"Am I suitable to be an assassin?"

"You? Did you forget that when you assassinated Tang Zhao, you charged forward at the end. Whose assassin would do that?"

"cut."

By arguing with the old demon head, Ye Ziqi dispelled a lot of his fear, but the old demon head suddenly mentioned the Tang family, which made him try to calm down.

If I can return to the world from under the underworld, I really want to go back there and have a look.

Because there are still people waiting for him there.

This thought gave him a rare urge to live, and gave him the courage to survive.

"Take five steps to the left, pay attention, you are going to turn a corner, and then enter a corridor."

Ye Ziqi moved forward steadily, and gradually got used to the dark environment.At this time, if there is a sudden attack by monsters, he is also confident that he can fight back steadily.

So when he suddenly saw a blue light appearing in front of him, he managed to keep his composure by biting his lip hard.

Cyan light suddenly poured at the end of the new corridor, like moonlight.Ye Ziqi continued to dive slowly, and came to the corner at the end of the corridor. He pressed his body against the wall, controlled his breathing, and slowly flattened himself. Then, he leaned against the wall, stretched out half of his face, and looked towards the light——

A huge boundless green flame burned through his eyes immediately!
"No, this is not the Demon King's Palace!" The old demon's voice shook, "This is the Underworld Palace!"
