When the fox girl saw this, the ribbon in her hand flew and instantly turned into colorful sharp blades, shooting towards the sandworm's eyes.
The sandworm seemed to be aware of the danger, and quickly closed its huge eyes, using its hard carapace to resist the fox girl's attack.
Then, it swung its huge body violently, and its huge tail swept towards Fang Yue and Fox Girl.
Fang Yue and Fox Girl hurriedly jumped back to avoid this sharp blow.
"This sandworm's defense is too strong, we have to find a way to find its weakness." Fang Yue shouted, with a hint of solemnity in his eyes.
In the process of avoiding the sandworm attack, Fang Yue carefully observed the sandworm's actions.
He discovered that whenever the sandworm was about to launch a powerful attack, a light would flash under its body near its abdomen, and the carapace there seemed slightly different compared to other parts.
"Fox Girl, have you noticed? The lower part of the sandworm's abdomen may be its weak point. Let's focus our attacks there." Fang Yue said.
The fox girl nodded, she cast her spell again, and the ribbon in her hand turned into a huge colorful light net, which was scattered towards the sandworm.
The moment the light net came into contact with the sandworm, it tightly wrapped around its body, restricting its movement.
Fang Yue saw the right moment and rushed towards the sandworm like a ghost.
He jumped high, the spear in his hand was filled with powerful vitality, and he stabbed hard at the flickering light below the sandworm's abdomen.
The moment the spear came into contact with the sandworm carapace, there was a harsh friction sound and countless sparks flew up.
This time, the spear successfully penetrated a little of the sandworm's carapace. The sandworm roared in pain and struggled wildly, trying to break free from the constraints of the light net.
The fox girl tried her best to maintain the optical network, and at the same time increased the output of mana to make the optical network stronger.
Fang Yue took the opportunity to exert force again, piercing the spear deeper into the sandworm's abdomen.
The sandworm's struggle became more and more intense, its body kept twisting, the surrounding sand dunes were shattered by it, and the sky was filled with sand and dust, blocking the sun.
Just when Fang Yue was about to further attack the sandworm's vital points, the sandworm suddenly released a powerful wave of energy, shattering the light network.
The fox girl's face turned slightly pale as she suffered the backlash from her magic power, but she still gritted her teeth and persisted.
After the sandworm broke free from the restraints, it did not attack immediately, but retreated a certain distance. Its huge eyes stared at Fang Yue and Fox Girl closely, with anger and vigilance in their eyes.
"It has become more cautious. We have to deal with it carefully." Fang Yue said to the fox girl.
The two took up their fighting postures again, preparing for the next attack from the sandworm.
The sandworm seemed to be accumulating strength. The light around its body became more dazzling, and the surrounding sand began to rotate rapidly around it, forming small sandstorms.
Suddenly, the sandworms attacked.
It opened its huge mouthparts and spewed out a powerful stream of sand. The sand stream was mixed with sharp sand and stones, sweeping towards Fang Yue and Fox Girl like sharp blades.
Fang Yue waved his spear and formed a vitality shield in front of him, trying to resist the impact of the sand flow.
The fox girl cast a spell and raised colorful light curtains around them to strengthen their defense.
The sand flow hit the shield and the light curtain, making a crackling sound. The sand and stones kept hitting it, causing bursts of sparks.
After resisting the sand flow attack, Fang Yue and Fox Girl did not relax at all.
They know that they must find an opportunity to attack the sandworm's weakness again as soon as possible, otherwise it will be extremely detrimental to them if they fall into a protracted war.
Fang Yue's eyes narrowed, and he decided to take the initiative.
He stuck the spear on the ground, quickly formed seals with his hands, and muttered something in his mouth.
As the spell was read, the land around the spear began to shake, and streaks of earthy-yellow light emerged from the ground and shot towards the sandworm.
When these rays of light approached the sandworm, they suddenly turned into huge earth thorns, stabbing from the ground toward the weak spot under the sandworm's abdomen.
The sandworm sensed the danger and wanted to avoid it, but due to its huge body, it moved a little slowly.
The earth thorn successfully stabbed the sandworm in the abdomen, which, although not fatal, injured it again.
The sandworm roared in pain, its body shaking violently.
The fox girl took the opportunity to cast her spell again, and the ribbon in her hand turned into a huge colorful python, which flew toward the sandworm's eyes.
The colorful python opened its mouth and bit hard at the sandworm's eyes.
In panic, the sandworm used its forelimbs to resist the attack of the colorful python.
Fang Yue seized this opportunity, picked up the spear again, and rushed towards the wound on the sandworm's abdomen.
This time, he focused all his energy on the spear, and the spear emitted a dazzling light.
He thrust his spear deep into the wound in the sandworm's abdomen and stirred hard.
The sandworm let out a shrill scream, and its huge body collapsed, raising dust all over the sky.
As the huge body of the sandworm fell to the ground, the raised sand and dust gradually fell. Fang Yue and Fox Girl's tense nerves relaxed slightly, but they were both extremely tired.
Fang Yue looked at the fox girl and was about to speak, but found that the fox girl had a strange expression.
He followed the fox girl's gaze and saw that the ribbon in her hand had become dull, the original vivid color had disappeared, and there were many damaged places on it, as if it had lost its vitality. generally.
"My ribbon..."
The fox girl's voice was filled with sadness.
This ribbon has been with her for many years. It is a relic left by her mother and one of the three secret treasures of the Fox clan.
Unexpectedly, it was damaged here today.
The Fox Clan was almost wiped out. Now the important secret treasure in the Clan has also suffered such heavy damage. The Fox Girl is filled with self-blame and pain.
She gently touched the damaged area of the ribbon, as if she could feel her mother's remaining breath gradually dissipating.
Fang Yue watched silently. He knew the significance of this ribbon to the fox girl. It was not only a magic weapon, but also a symbol of her emotional sustenance and family.
"We must have a way to repair it." Fang Yue said firmly, trying to give the fox girl some comfort.
The fox girl shook her head slightly, with tears in her eyes: "This is a treasure passed down by the ancestors of the Fox Clan. The power and secrets contained in it cannot be easily repaired. Moreover, now that the Fox Clan has declined, most of the people who know how to repair it are no longer there. "
After a while, the fox girl put away the ribbon, and then looked at Fang Yue, her eyes firmer.
"Let's hurry up and find a way to leave here and go to the human world as soon as possible."
Fang Yue nodded, knowing that this was not the time to be immersed in sadness. After a short period of preparation, the two headed towards the depths of this mysterious ruins, hoping to find clues to leaving here.
Neither of them spoke a word along the way, there was only the rustle of footsteps on the sand.
The surrounding ancient ruins and buildings appear to have become more and more vicissitudes under the erosion of time, and the vague patterns on the walls seem to silently tell the glory and mystery of the past. After walking for a long time, they arrived at the core area of the ruins. The architectural style here was even more majestic. The huge stone pillars were carved with fine reliefs. Although some parts had been eroded by wind and sand, the exquisite craftsmanship could still be seen.
The two stopped and observed everything around them carefully.
Not long after, the fox girl pointed to a relief and said: "Look at these patterns, they depict a prosperous country. People wear gorgeous clothes and there are gold decorations everywhere. It seems that here Is it the Kingdom of Gold in the rumors of the demon world?”
“The Kingdom of Gold?” Fang Yue asked in confusion.
He has been to the Demon Realm several times and has never heard of this so-called golden country.
At this time, it was also the first time I heard about it.
The fox girl nodded slightly, with a look of memory flashing in her eyes: "This golden country has appeared in the ancient legends of our fox clan.
Legend has it that this place was once extremely prosperous, and gold was just The most ordinary things, they possess mysterious and powerful power. The power is enough to change the fate of the entire demon world and even more worlds.
But for some reason, this country suddenly disappeared. Unexpectedly, we entered here by mistake today. "
Fang Yue. He nodded slightly, but no matter what happened to the golden country.
Now there is obviously only a ruin left here, with no valuable items left.
The most urgent task is to find a way to leave here and go to the human world.
The fox girl shook her head slightly: "There must be clues here. This country was once so powerful, and it would not leave nothing behind. Maybe the disappeared secrets are hidden in these seemingly ordinary ruins and reliefs. "
As she spoke, she walked towards a stone pillar and lightly brushed her fingers over the vague patterns on the relief.
Fang Yue followed her, looking at her focused expression, he also began to re-examine the surrounding environment.
He tapped the ground lightly with his spear, feeling the vibrations coming from the ground, trying to determine whether there was an underground space or a hidden mechanism.
Not far away, Fang Yue found a stone slab on the ground that was different from the surrounding ones. It was slightly darker in color and had some strange lines on it.
He knelt down and observed these lines carefully, and found that they seemed to be similar to some of the symbols in the reliefs on the stone pillars.
"Fox girl, come and see." Fang Yue shouted.
The fox girl walked quickly. After seeing the lines on the stone slab, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes: "These lines may be the key to opening a certain passage or secret room. Let's try to crack it."
They began to study the connection between these lines and relief symbols.
After some comparison and thinking, the fox girl discovered that these lines were actually arranged in a special order, and this order was hinted at in a relief depicting the sacrificial ceremony of the Kingdom of Gold.
"Touch these lines in this order may open it." Fox Girl said.
Fang Yue followed the order mentioned by the fox girl and gently touched the lines on the stone slab with his spear.
When the last grain was touched, the stone slab made a low roar, and then slowly moved away, revealing a downward staircase.
An ancient and mysterious atmosphere came from under the stairs.
"There should be what we are looking for below." Fang Yue said.
They carefully walked down the stairs.
The walls on both sides of the stairs are inlaid with crystals that emit a faint light, illuminating the way forward.
The further you go down, the more humid the air becomes, mixed with an old smell.
At the end of the stairs, they came to a huge basement.
The basement is filled with various boxes and shelves, with many items placed on them, including ancient books and strange-shaped instruments.
It is a pity that although these things are beautiful, they all turn into dust when a breeze blows.
Fang Yue and Fox Girl looked at the items that turned into dust. Although they felt regretful in their hearts, the determination in their eyes did not diminish.
They know they cannot stand still here.
The two continued to walk deeper into the basement, and a narrow passage appeared in front of them. The walls of the passage flickered with faint fluorescence from time to time, as if ancient runes were breathing.
As they walked along the passage, they could feel the air around them becoming more and more solemn, as if countless pairs of peeping eyes were hidden.
After walking for a while, the passage began to widen, and a huge stone door appeared in front of it.
The stone gate is engraved with complex patterns, including flying dragons and phoenixes, and immortals fighting. Each pattern is lifelike, as if telling an ancient legend.
There is a circular groove in the center of the stone door, and the groove is surrounded by some strange symbols.
"This stone door looks like it needs something special to open." Fang Yue stepped forward and carefully observed the grooves and symbols on the stone door.
The fox girl was also thinking: "These symbols seem to be a little different from what we have seen before. Maybe we need to look for clues from other places."
They looked for clues around the stone gate. On one side of the wall, Fox Girl discovered a small mural.
The mural depicts a sacrificial scene. A round object is placed on the sacrificial platform. The object emits light and people around it are worshiping.
The shape of this round object is exactly the same as the groove on the stone door.
"It seems that we need to find this round thing to open the stone door." Fox Girl said.
Just when they were about to continue searching, there was a sudden vibration from the stone door, and the runes on the door flickered, as if something was trying to break free behind the door.
Fang Yue and Fox Girl immediately prepared for battle and stared at Shimen warily.
As the shaking became more and more intense, some small cracks appeared on the stone door, and a powerful force surged out from the cracks, pushing Fang Yue and Fox Girl back.
Some black tentacles gradually stretched out from the cracks, and the tentacles twisted and attacked towards them.
Fang Yue waved his spear, its light flashed, and cut off several tentacles.
But more tentacles poured out from the cracks and rushed towards them densely.
The fox girl cast a spell, and streams of flames spurted out from her hands, burning her tentacles.
However, these tentacles seem to have tenacious vitality. After being cut off or burned, they quickly grow back.
"It's not an option to continue like this. We have to find a way to stop them from coming out." Fang Yue shouted.
The fox girl looked at the expanding cracks on the stone door and thought: "Let's try attacking the runes on the stone door. Maybe we can stop them."
The two concentrated their strength and attacked the runes on the stone door. . Fang Yue's spear pierced with sharp spear rays, and the fox girl's spells continued to bombard the runes.
Under their attack, the runes on the stone door flickered, and the speed of the tentacles gradually slowed down.
After a hard fight, they finally succeeded in stopping the tentacles from pouring out. The cracks on the stone door also stopped expanding, and the surrounding area returned to calm. (End of this chapter)
