Saint Seiya: This Gemini is a bit of a trap.

"Woof woof (You're ruthless)~"

……

With Taidi's sense of smell, finding the Death Forest wouldn't be difficult.

The Death Forest is the place with the most rotten wood. You can't go wrong by going where the smell of decay is the strongest. With the limited space on the second floor of the Demon Suppression Tower, Jia Long is not worried about not finding a place.

What he needs to worry about is the gathering of demon stars.

This matter must be related to Wei Yueyan. Only she had the motive to contact the Underworld Army, allowing the Heavenly Demon Stars on the second level to learn about the Jade Void Azure Wanderer's situation in advance.

It's a pity that Jia Long didn't encounter this woman on the first floor, otherwise he would have dealt with her immediately.

It's too late to say anything now.

Now that the demon stars have gathered together, it will definitely affect Jia Long's collection of celestial sand. After all, each of the celestial demon stars has its own strengths and considerable power. In a chaotic battle with multiple opponents, it will be difficult for him to control the intensity of his attacks.

"I currently have over twenty pieces of Six Senses Earth Star Sand, and I've also acquired eight pieces of Heaven Star Sand, including one at the peak of the Seven Senses stage, two at the late stage of the Seven Senses stage, two at the mid stage of the Seven Senses stage, and three at the early stage of the Seven Senses stage. All in all, the accumulated power is already considerable..."

"If we could obtain two or three more peak-level seventh-sensory stars, it would probably be enough to construct a star system to seal the wild gods. Then we could extract divine power for future use, thus enabling this sealing god technique to form a virtuous cycle."

Jia Long silently did some calculations in his mind.

The gap in the stardust is not very large.

However, who would complain about having too much start-up capital?

"Over the years, quite a few demon stars seem to have escaped. I've seen more than a dozen, and most of them are of the Heavenly rank. There can't be many demon stars left on this second level now..."

"If it's a chaotic battle, my gains will inevitably be limited. The best approach is still to defeat them one by one. But how can I avoid attracting a large number of demon stars?"

As Jia Long walked and pondered, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Tai Di, who was leading the way.

His gaze involuntarily shifted.

In the past, Jia Longzhen didn't have a good solution. His strength was like a firefly in the dark, and once it was revealed, it would inevitably attract the attention of the demon stars.

But as fate would have it, because of the Howling Celestial Dog's defection and the Earthwalker's assassination attempt, Jia Long came up with a somewhat absurd idea.

Let this dog venture into the Forest of Death!

Given the arrogance of Hades' army, even if they had no shame, they wouldn't go to such lengths to gang up on a dog, would they?

He then followed the example of the Earth Walker, lurking around the dog and trying to ambush a few demon stars to intercept their microcosms. This way, no matter whether he faced a chaotic battle or a large-scale battle later, Jia Long would have enough star sand to perform the God-Sealing Technique.

This method is perfectly feasible.

Because Jia Long just happened to get the Earthwalking skill.

He had been curious about the other party's method of hiding his inner universe, so after knocking him out, he took the time to practice Earthwalker in the dimensional space. He didn't expect that this cunning guy didn't have much insight in his belly. Jia Long only used it a few times before he mastered his Earthwalker technique.

Moreover, this earth-walking technique is not as magical as Jia Long imagined. So-called earth-walking does not actually involve walking by embedding oneself in the ground. Instead, it uses spatial abilities to condense a layer of spatial fluid on the body surface, which isolates the sand and stones in the soil, thereby achieving the purpose of earth-walking.

The principles of Earth Travel Technique are very basic; with Jia Long's understanding of space, he could grasp them almost at a glance.

It's like a college student doing elementary school problems.

He hadn't thought of using spatial abilities in this way before, but because the East and West have different concepts of space application, his thinking has been broadened, and he can immediately put it into practice and apply it to other situations.

For example, using space to isolate sand and gravel is called "ground movement".

Isolating oneself from the five elements (metal, wood, water, fire, and earth) is the legendary Five Elements Escape Technique.

Even more extreme, it can use spatial abilities to block out light, and even achieve invisibility by flying through the air.

It can be used to isolate others' perception and also to conceal one's inner universe.

In short.

Although the Earth Travel Technique was rudimentary, it opened a door to the East for Jia Long, greatly broadening his horizons and thinking, and allowing his spatial abilities to go beyond simple combat.

It can be said that the Earth Travel Technique's enhancement of Jia Long's spatial abilities is no less than the Demon Emperor's Starburst Fist's enhancement of the Galaxy Starburst.

"No wonder the ancients said that stones from other mountains can be used to polish jade. It's good to travel more and see more of the world outside the Holy Realm. Even a weak opponent like the Earth Walker can make me stronger."

After expressing his feelings, Jia Long called out to Tai Di, who was looking for the way ahead. Seeing the latter staring at him with its dog eyes full of confusion, Jia Long patiently explained his plans to it.

"Wang Wang~"

The dog has a strong comprehension ability and quickly figured out Jia Long's plan.

"Go!"

Release the Celestial Hound, and Jia Long uses his newly learned spatial abilities to condense a layer of spatial fluid on his body with his telekinesis.

However, instead of burrowing into the ground like the Earthwalkers, he chose to use his powerful spatial telekinesis to isolate himself from the surrounding light, putting himself in a state similar to invisibility.

Then, following far behind the Howling Celestial Dog, the two of them headed towards the Forest of Death.

Chapter 233 Stars! A Dog's Battle (Part 2)

Following the stench of decay, Jia Long and Tai Di quickly found the Forest of Death.

The Forest of Death is located at the deepest part of the second level of the Demon Suppression Tower. It is an extremely vast and secluded primeval forest.

As soon as Jia Long and his group entered, all they could see were thick, gnarled, and decaying trees. Each tree was tens of meters tall, with lush branches and leaves, and their canopies were connected, covering the entire area and creating a gloomy and terrifying understory.

The dead are everywhere.

There are decaying birds that inhabit the tree canopy and compete for rotten flesh.

There are all sorts of poisonous insects.

There were rotten corpses, some of which had been dead for countless years.

But the most abundant creature in the forest was a giant fly whose body flickered with eerie soul fire.

These flies are the same color as rotten wood, about the size of a fist, and have an unusually ferocious appearance. They have strong mandibles, sharp claws like hooks, and a bright red stinger at the back of their tails, making them look like miniature monsters.

These flies often appear in groups of thousands, densely packed like dark clouds overhead, and they eat everything in sight, turning even hard rocks into mud wherever they go.

Jia Long knew that these terrifying flies were the demonic flies raised by Veronica of Tianjiu Star!

They were all forged from the souls of the dead in the River Styx.

In the comics, these terrifying demon flies caused the Saint Seiya warriors a great deal of trouble.

However, they encountered the Celestial Dog today.

Once the dog entered the Death Forest, it ran wild, taking advantage of its indestructible body and fully utilizing its destructive nature, wanting to mess with everything it saw.

The rotten bird flew down and was swatted to death by its claw.

Poisonous insects were bitten and then crushed to death by its claws.

When the fly swarmed in, it was swallowed whole with a gaping maw, like a celestial dog devouring the sun, and then chewed on it with a crunchy sound, as if it were eating beans.

This dog isn't picky about food, but it has a huge appetite. Since entering the Death Forest, the number of magic flies that have appeared in the forest hasn't been enough for it to eat.

In short, it caused chaos and disorder in the Death Forest!

soon.

This dog caught the attention of the demon star.

……

The deepest part of the Death Forest.

Inside a Western-style church that is very out of place with its surroundings.

Seven or eight towering Specters gathered here, each clad in magnificent Surplice, exuding a dark and terrifying aura. Their powerful cosmos intertwined and shone, almost completely obscuring the radiance of the Father God on the cross.

It looks like a demon's lair.

The only incongruity is that within this demon's lair, there exists a delicate and ethereal figure.

Dangerous Moon Swallow!

At this moment, the Weaver Girl was no longer the submissive woman she had been when facing Ja Long outside the tower. Instead, she was as spirited as if she had found her tribe, her beautiful eyes sparkling as she swept over the powerful Specters before her...

Luni, the Flame Demon of the Heavenly Hero Star.

Pharaoh, the Sphinx of the Celestial Beast Star.

Veronica, the Queen of the Celestial Star Demon Flies.

Luke, the Tree Spirit of the Heavenly Star.

And Gordon of the Minotaur, the prison star.

Quinn of the Heavenly Demon Star Mandala.

And the Earth Demon Star Mu, which coils around the ground like a giant silkworm cocoon, appears to have weak cosmic power, yet seems poised to rapidly develop and transform into a butterfly at any moment!

These demonic stars, each a renowned and powerful figure in the underworld, gave Wei Yueyan boundless courage and confidence.

"My lords..."

Wei Yueyan looked around with her beautiful eyes, and finally fixed her gaze on Luni among the demon stars.

This was a tall, straight-looking young man with long hair. His handsome face was extremely dignified, as if he held the power of life and death and could judge all living beings at any time.

Luni, the Flame Demon of Tianying Star, is the key figure in the puppet army under Minos of Tiangui Star, one of the three giants. He wields the Book of the Underworld and spends his years in the First Hell Underworld Court judging the dead and controlling reincarnation in place of Minos. He is known as the Grand Judge of the Underworld!

He was Minos's most trusted lieutenant.

Luni is also the convener of the Hades Army on the second floor of the Demon Suppression Tower and the temporary leader of the Demon Stars.

"Lord Luni, before we embark on this great undertaking, we must first deal with the Celestial Warriors who have intruded into the second level!"

"Currently, although Guangcheng the Sky-Turner, Nezha the Dragon-Binder, and Chang'e the Heart Moon Fox are trapped in the Forest of Death, the whereabouts of Yang Jian the Howling Sky, Ju Liu the Earth Walker, and Jia Long the Golden Dragon are still unknown. Among them, Yang Jian and Ju Liu of Yuxu are relatively easy to deal with, but this Kang Jinlong of Biyou..."

"His strength is unfathomable. Judging from his performance at the Gathering of Stars, his cosmos power is definitely no less than that of the Four Saints of Biyou at the peak of the Seventh Sense. Moreover, he also possesses the Hidden Dragon Do Not Use, a fighting technique of the Kang Jinlong lineage that has been lost for thousands of years. Even Kui Mulang, at the late stage of the Seventh Sense, could hardly withstand a single blow from him..."

"Furthermore, what's even more terrifying is that even the Star Puppet Strings that Lord Minos taught me were easily broken by this Kang Jinlong's Jia Long with a simple flick of his finger!"

Speaking of Jia Long, Wei Yueyan's beautiful eyes were filled with deep fear.

The other Specters, including Lune, hadn't taken Jalong seriously at first, but when they heard that he possessed the hidden dragon technique, especially his ability to easily disentangle the Star Puppet Strings, all the Specters showed expressions of astonishment.

"Hidden Dragon in Concealed Power? Isn't that the unique fighting technique of our old nemesis, the Sea Dragon, one of the Seven Ocean Generals of the Sea Realm? This Sea Dragon has been powerful in every Holy War throughout history, and is even comparable to Rhadamanthus and Lord Minos!"

"He can break the Star Puppet Strings with a flick of his finger? What kind of fighting technique did he use? Does such a miraculous fighting technique exist in the Dao Domain?"

After the initial surprise came caution.
