"We have to find a way to open the stone door as soon as possible and get out of here."
Fang Yue wiped the sweat from his forehead and still stared at the stone door warily.
The fox girl nodded slightly, her eyes quickly scanning around, trying to find more clues:
"The round object on the mural must be the key, let's look carefully nearby Are there any similar things or related tips?”
So, the two of them searched more carefully near the stone gate.
Fang Yue carefully probed the walls and the ground with his spear, not missing any suspicious place, while the fox girl closed her eyes and felt the fluctuations of the surrounding energy with her keen perception.
Suddenly, the fox girl opened her eyes and walked quickly to the corner on the other side of the stone door.
There, a loose stone caught her attention.
She squatted down, gently moved the stone, and found a small hidden compartment under the stone. In the hidden compartment was a round crystal that exuded a soft light. The lines on the crystal were the same as those on the stone door. The symbols seem to have some resonance.
"Fang Yue, look!" the fox girl shouted in surprise.
Fang Yue hurried over, and after seeing the crystal, a flash of excitement flashed in his eyes: "This should be it."
Fang Yue carefully picked up the crystal, and the two came to the stone door again.
When Fang Yue put the crystal into the circular groove of the stone door, the runes on the stone door instantly shined with dazzling light. The light spread along the patterns on the stone door, as if giving new life to those dragons, phoenixes and immortals. life.
The stone door slowly opened, and a powerful and mysterious force poured out from the door, leading them towards the door.
Behind the door is a long passage. The walls of the passage are inlaid with huge crystals. These crystals emit colorful light, illuminating the passage like daylight.
The floor of the passage is covered with complex magic circles, and golden light flows in the magic circle, like a river flowing with gold.
“This place feels full of power.” Fang Yue said, he could feel the huge energy contained in these lights and magic circles.
After so many years, everything in the previous secret room has weathered into ashes.
But now, here, there is still such a rich energy left!
The fox girl also looked around curiously: "These arrays look like some kind of teleportation array, but they are a little different. We have to be careful."
They walked slowly along the passage, feeling the changes in the energy around them with every step they took.
When they walked to the middle of the passage, the surrounding light suddenly flickered. Golden rays of light shot out from the crystals on the wall and intertwined to form a huge light network, surrounding the entire area. Yue and Fox Girl are trapped in it.
"What's going on?"
Fang Yue tried to cut off the light with his spear, but the light was reconnected as soon as it was cut off.
The fox girl frowned. She carefully observed the light network: "These lights seem to change according to certain rules. We need to find a way to crack them."
They began to study the laws of the light network. After some observation, the fox girl discovered that the light changes of the light network were related to the direction of the flow of the magic circle on the ground.
"Fang Yue, let's try to guide these lights in the direction of the flow of the magic circle." said the fox girl.
Fang Yue nodded, and they began to use their power to guide the light to flow with the magic circle.
With their efforts, the light of the optical network gradually weakened and eventually disappeared.
The two continued to walk forward and finally reached the end of the passage.
At the end of the passage is a huge rotunda hall. The dome of the hall is like a vast starry sky, with stars twinkling, and each star is like a world.
There is a huge golden disk in the center of the hall. The disk is engraved with various mysterious symbols and patterns. The disk is surrounded by several huge statues with different shapes and animals. There are monsters with human heads and gods with wings ready to fly.
"This should be the core of the Kingdom of Gold." Fang Yue looked around, his heart filled with awe.
~~~~~~~~~~
At the same time, at the border of the Wei Dynasty in the human world, there was a node where the demon tribe was closed down.
This place is heavily guarded all year round, and there is a tense and depressing atmosphere surrounding it.
The soldiers guarding the border were wearing heavy armor, holding sharp blades, and watched every move around them with vigilance.
There are ancient runic arrays arranged around the sealing nodes. These arrays emit a faint light, echoing with the demon-suppressing magic weapons buried deep underground, forming a powerful sealing power.
These powers suppress the aura of the demon clan, preventing them from breaking through the seal and invading the human world.
However, in recent days, there have been some changes in the seal.
The originally stable rune light began to flicker, and the demon-suppressing magic weapon underground also trembled slightly from time to time.
The general in charge of guarding noticed the abnormality. He frowned, knowing that this might herald a huge crisis.
This general’s name is Li Su, and he is a famous general in the Wei Dynasty.
He was wearing a black armor, and the lines on the armor shone coldly in the sunlight.
He paced back and forth around the closure node, carefully checking every rune and magic weapon, trying to find out the cause of the abnormal movement.
"General, the fluctuations of the seal have become more and more frequent in recent days. Do we need to report it to the court?" A deputy general stepped forward and asked with a worried look.
Li Su nodded slightly: "Such anomalies should not be underestimated. Send a horse quickly to convey a message to the court. At the same time, strengthen your vigilance. If there is any situation, report it immediately."
The deputy general took the order. After leaving, Li Su continued to inspect.
He came to a rune formation, squatted down, and reached out to touch the runes.
He could feel the chaotic energy transmitted from the runes. This energy was different from the demon seal power he was familiar with in the past. It seemed to be mixed with some more ancient and mysterious atmosphere.
At this moment, a strong wind roared past, making the flags of the soldiers roar.
There was a faint roar in the wind, as if coming from the distant depths underground.
Li Su's expression changed. He stood up, clenched the sword at his waist, and shouted loudly: "Everyone is on alert!"
The soldiers acted quickly and were ready.
As the roar became clearer and clearer, some small cracks began to appear on the ground of the blockade node, and strands of black mist seeped out from the cracks.
This mist contains powerful demonic power. When it comes into contact with the surrounding vegetation, the vegetation will wither instantly.
"What's going on? Is there a monster trying to destroy the seal?" A soldier shouted in horror.
Li Su's eyes were solemn, and he knew that a war might be coming.
He ordered the soldiers to activate the defensive array to prepare to resist possible demon attacks.
And he himself stood at the front, preparing to deal with unknown dangers personally.
As the black mist continued to pour out, the cracks in the ground became larger and larger. Suddenly, a huge claw stretched out from the crack. The claws were covered with hard scales and emitted an eerie cold light.
Immediately afterwards, a huge figure slowly emerged from the ground. It was shaped like a mountain, with a huge head and sharp fangs. It exuded powerful demonic power. It was actually a monster that had been sealed for many years. Ancient monster.
"Hmph, humble human beings, today is your day of death!" The ancient monster opened its bloody mouth and let out an earth-shattering roar.
Li Su showed no fear. He raised his sword high, pointed it at the ancient monster, and shouted loudly: "Don't be arrogant, we have guarded this place for many years, how can we allow a monster like you to be so arrogant!"
His voice was like a bell, echoing on the battlefield, shocking the soldiers behind him.
He took the lead in rushing towards the ancient monster, his figure was like lightning, and he swung the sword in his hand with fierce sword energy. The sword energy struck the scales of the ancient monster, splashing out a string of sparks, but it could only leave shallow marks on its hard skin.
Seeing this, the ancient monster let out a mocking roar, and swept its huge tail violently, bringing up a gust of wind and sweeping towards Li Su and the soldiers.
Li Su quickly used his body skills to narrowly avoid this sharp blow, but some soldiers who could not dodge were swept up by the strong wind and fell heavily to the ground, vomiting blood.
"Focus on its eyes and joints!" Li Su commanded loudly while stabilizing his body.
The soldiers quickly adjusted their tactics, and the crossbowmen fired at the eyes of the ancient monster, with sharp arrows hitting the target like raindrops.
The melee soldiers were divided into small groups and tried to attack the monster's joints.
The ancient monster seemed to be aware of the human intention. It shook its head suddenly and spurted out a black demonic power from its mouth. The demonic power turned into substance and bounced away the sharp arrows shot.
At the same time, it stamped its limbs hard, and the ground shook violently. Some soldiers who were close to it were shocked and fell to the ground.
At this time, Li Su broke out. He used his spiritual power to the extreme, and his whole body burst into bright light, which was as dazzling as the scorching sun.
His figure turned into a stream of light and rushed towards the ancient monster in an instant. The sword in his hand buzzed, as if he was also responding to his master's determination.
Li Su avoided the black demonic power sprayed by the ancient monster and flexibly shuttled between its huge body.
Looking at the right moment, he jumped up to the top of the ancient monster's head and shouted: "Broken!"
The sword in his hand stabbed straight towards the left eye of the ancient monster. .
This sword contains his lifelong skill. The sword is surrounded by strands of spiritual power, like a spiritual snake.
The ancient monster sensed the huge danger. It twisted its head crazily, trying to avoid this fatal blow.
But Li Su's speed was too fast, and the sword blade still pierced its left eye fiercely.
A stream of black blood spurted out, and the ancient monster roared in pain. The roar was deafening, causing everyone on the battlefield to feel their eardrums stinging.
However, the ancient monster was in severe pain and slapped Li Su with its huge claws.
Li Su couldn't dodge and was hit hard. His body flew out like a kite with its string broken, and he fell heavily to the ground, with blood spurting out of his mouth.
The armor on his body was almost shattered by this blow, and the bones were visible in many wounds.
But this blow also completely angered the soldiers. They roared and rushed towards the ancient monster, their eyes filled with anger and determination.
"Avenge the general!"
The soldiers shouted killing one after another.
Regardless of the danger, the melee soldiers pounced on the joints of the ancient monster and slashed them with the weapons in their hands.
The crossbowmen also tried their best and fired another dense rain of arrows towards the ancient monster's right eye.
Under the combined attack of everyone, the ancient monster gradually became exhausted.
Its right eye was also shot by a sharp arrow, and its movements became sluggish.
At this time, Li Suqiang supported his injured body and stood up again.
He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes revealing unwavering faith.
He rushed towards the ancient monster again, swinging the sword in his hand with complicated sword moves.
Each move accurately landed on the vital parts of the ancient monster, leaving deep wounds on its body.
Although the ancient monster resisted vigorously, its strength gradually weakened after being seriously injured.
Finally, Li Su gathered the last strength of his body and delivered a fatal blow.
His sword penetrated deeply into the heart of the ancient monster, and a powerful energy burst out from the point of contact between the sword blade and the monster's body.
The ancient monster let out its last unwilling roar, and its huge body crashed to the ground, raising dust all over the sky.
There was a moment of silence on the battlefield, and then a burst of cheers erupted.
But at this time, at the closure node, an endless tide of demons emerged.
~~~~~~~~~
“We’re finally going out.”
Fang Yue looked at the golden disk in the center of the hall, his eyes shining with anticipation. .
He and the fox girl have gone through many hardships along the way, and now this disc seems to be the key to leaving.
The fox girl frowned slightly, walked to the disc and looked at it carefully: "The symbols on it are intricate, but I feel that they are somehow related to the movements of the surrounding statues. Maybe we need to restore the statues to a specific posture. , the disc will start.”
Fang Yue nodded, and the two began to observe the statue around the disc.
These statues are lifelike, with monsters with animal heads and human bodies showing their teeth and claws, and statues of gods with majestic appearance.
Fang Yue tried to push the arm of a statue with an animal head and a human body, and found that the statue was extremely heavy. However, with his full force, the arm of the statue was slowly moved a little.
At the same time, some of the symbols on the disk flashed.
“There’s a reaction!” Fang Yue shouted.
The fox girl also began to cast spells, controlling the magic weapon in the hand of a statue of a god, making it slowly move to the appropriate position.
As they adjusted the statue, the light on the disk became brighter and brighter, and the symbols flashed faster and faster.
Finally a portal appeared in front.
Fang Yue and Fox Girl looked at each other and saw joy in each other's eyes. They picked up speed and continued adjusting the remaining statues.
The fox girl danced her hands, and streaks of colored light flew out of her hands, wrapping around the statue and gently pushing the limbs of the statue.
Fang Yue used the support of the spear to move the extremely heavy statue parts with all his strength.
As the posture of the last statue was adjusted into place, the light on the disk soared into the sky, illuminating the entire hall like daylight.
The portal became clearer, and there was a faint familiar atmosphere in the portal, which seemed to lead to the place of freedom they longed for.
"Let's go!"
Fang Yue pulled the fox girl and ran towards the door.
Just when they were about to step into the portal, the hall suddenly shook violently, and cracks appeared on the surrounding walls, as if something was preventing them from leaving.
Some black smoke poured out from the cracks, and there were faint figures flickering in the smoke.
These figures gradually condensed into some small monsters, and they rushed towards Fang Yue and Fox Girl with their claws and teeth.
"No time!"
Fang Yue shouted, waving the spear in his hand into a curtain of light to repel the attacking monsters. (End of this chapter)
