Devour

Chapter 296 Night Demon Matron

Xian Gen saw it and understood what he meant. He slowly turned around and stepped into the flying armor cabin with steady steps.

The little flying sword has its own world in the pot.

There was a person in the room listening to the noise outside, pacing back and forth anxiously. He twitched his nose and raised his head, his face looked like a dog, and it turned out to be Gou Yifan, who was supposed to follow Xu Buwei's team to leave Jiuchongyuan.

Seeing Xian Gen coming in, Gou Yifan hurriedly bowed and saluted, saying respectfully: "I pay my respects to the Great Mighty King, and I am willing to serve His Royal Highness the Prince at my service!"

Xian Gen narrowed his eyes slightly, reached out and patted his shoulder gently, and said earnestly: "The lord is out there to protect you from disasters, you must remember his kindness! In the future, I will give you a promotion to a higher position, which will be a way to repay the lord for his hard work for you."

Gou Yifan said indignantly: "Thank you, my lord, for coming forward to protect me. The White Emperor got there first with the magical weapon. He must have stolen the treasure and committed evil, and he caused the disaster by not being a good son."

Xian Gen nodded and said, "Whether it is true or not, someone has to take the blame. The lord will negotiate properly to stabilize the situation, you just wait and see what happens."

Gou Yifan tried to control his emotions and asked in a low voice: "I wonder when the lord will grant me the Buddhist Purple Qi Advancement Scroll?"

"You have made rapid progress in your cultivation. We have seen this and think highly of you. Our teachings have always emphasized the word fate, and we pay special attention to you. When the time is right, we will make reasonable and appropriate arrangements."

Xian Gen spoke in a calm and composed tone, as if he had repeated the explanation thousands of times, and he had a clear plan and firm grasp of the future.

Gou Yifan was secretly happy, lowered his eyebrows and said: "I will follow the teachings of the wise king and dare not disappoint the lord's expectations."

……

The underground palace was winding and deep, and Cheng Bai led everyone out of the place where the spirit-nourishing tree withered. The team was close together, and their steps were in unison, as if they were a whole, moving forward lightly into the depths.

As his realm continued to improve, the effect of the secret technique gradually increased. Cheng Bai's current secret technique of dissipation could effectively cover a certain area around him, quietly hiding in the power of all things and concealing the perception of the Xiyi Ghost King.

"There is only one person among them whose spiritual sense is sharp enough to detect the traces we left just now. Failure to reach a consensus with the enemy will only lead to conflicts. Now they are acting cautiously so that they can't find us. It is safer to go further away."

Cheng Bai raised the moonstone lantern in his left hand, illuminating the roster in his right hand, and estimated the distance: "Another 700 miles ahead, we will reach the nearest teleportation altar, leading to the fifth-level battle plain... It used to be a vast battlefield, and there is still an angry and unyielding warrior wandering around there."

A Pu said with great joy: "With our tacit cooperation and careful planning, we will surely break through the obstacles of the Nine-Layer Abyss. Maybe we can even reach the ninth layer of the abyss!"

Zhai Xufei hesitated and said, "Unless you want to get the Nine Heavens Mysterious Fire, it's better not to enter the bottom floor without permission."

A Pu said nonchalantly: "The Nine Heavens Mysterious Fire is the most unfathomable treasure in the legend of the Nine Layers Abyss. Even if it is impossible to obtain it, it would be good to take a look at it from afar and learn more about it."

Beitingjun chuckled and said, "Isn't it easy to take a look? You have already seen it."

Hei Long was surprised and asked, "When have you seen it before? Where was it?"

Cheng Bai remembered the secret that Fu Gui had told him, and said bluntly, "Could it be that Sister Bei was referring to the towering columns of smoke that spewed out of the abyss on each layer of the continent?"

Bei Tingjun smiled and nodded, "That is the Nine Heavens Mysterious Fire, or a part of it."

The first layer of the Nine Layers Abyss Continent is the most extensive, and the area gets smaller as you go down. The fourth layer is about 70% of the area of ​​the Iron City Continent, and its length and width have exceeded the diameter of the earth. It can be seen that the Nine Heavens Mysterious Fire has an incredibly large range of influence.

The Smoker was surprised and said, "I have never seen such a huge source of divine fire. Is the main body as vast as the sun?"

Zhai Xufei thought for a moment and said, "The Nine Heavens Mysterious Fire is not that big, but its power may be no less than that of a real yellow sun. Even Prince Night Demon finds it difficult to control it."

A Pu asked: "Why do you think you can't control it?"

Bei Tingjun said: "We have come here after two lives, so we know more than ordinary candidates. The Nine Heavens Mysterious Fire was born from the essence of the Nine Abyss Life Fire, but where does the Life Fire come from? Along the way, haven't you seen those deceased God Kings and countless dead ghosts?"

Cheng Bai roughly estimated: "We have seen the corpses of twelve God Kings, and there may be more places we have not yet visited."

Zhai Xufei said: "People who have just arrived will miscalculate the number. For example, the Ghost Head Mountain is actually the head of the World-Destroying Wolf God King from the Floating Ice City that was thrown into the lower layer."

Cheng Bai asked, "Is the Golden Crow one of them?"

I have seen six Iron Cities including the Golden Crow, four in the Scorched Stone Mountains, only half in the Sea of ​​Floating Ice, and one and a half in the Swamp of Hate. All together, there should be twelve.

Zhai Xufei waved his hand and said, "As a feathered beast, I know that the Golden Crow is even more powerful. When it was alive, it was worth more than all the God Kings in the Nine-Layered Abyss. If the fire of life had been integrated into the Nine-Sky Mysterious Fire, it would have met Prince Yemo's expectations long ago."

This means that Jinwu belongs to a higher level of God. Cheng Bai asked curiously: "What is the Lord of Jiuyuan expecting?"

Bei Tingjun's pretty face showed a trace of hesitation, and she slowly said: "This is the great secret of the Nine-Layered Abyss. The Night Demon Prince has accumulated ancient power for a great purpose. Hundreds of thousands of years ago, some people said that he wanted to revive all the ghosts in the Nine-Layered Abyss, some thought that he wanted to become the emperor, and some guessed that he wanted to declare war on the fairy world... These are just mysterious rumors. We have no idea what the real purpose is."

A Pu said casually: "Wait until we reach the ninth floor, and the truth will be revealed."

Zhai Xufei laughed and didn't want to continue this topic.

Cheng Bai fell silent upon seeing this, but he became more curious.

The underground road was rugged and full of potholes. At the end of the desolate and lonely corridor ahead, a large cave opened up among the rocks. The cave was no longer dark, and the faint light reflected on the stone wall, reflecting the outline of a huge figure.

"Could it be the remains of another God King?" Cheng Bai looked up at the shocking scene.

What comes into view is a giant embedded in the stone wall. From the perspective of the field of vision, one can see that the body above the thighs is as tall as a mountain and more than a kilometer long. The part below the thighs is buried deep in the soil and rocks and cannot be seen.

The gentle curves of the undulating mountains outline a slender figure, indicating that it is a woman who is approximately human-shaped. Her body is slightly tilted forward, her head is slightly lowered, her face is dignified and beautiful, and her mouth is slightly open, revealing her sharp teeth, revealing the detailed differences in her appearance from humans.

Her skin was an elegant, deep bronze color, like a precious gem gleaming in the night, lighting up the cave with a dim light. Looking at the woman's back, her purple-black membrane wings spread out and blended into the stone wall, almost blending into the environment, as if her whole body was born from the darkness.

Cheng Bai said: "Look! It is indeed a God King. His race and appearance are very different from the ones I met before. At least he is much more pleasing to the eye."

Li Tong said: "If my guess is correct, she was a Night Demon Mistress in her lifetime, the pinnacle of the Night Demon Clan in the ancient times."

Cheng Bai tried to deduce the surrounding environment and asked in confusion: "Why is the Night Demon Mistress buried deep underground? This place was unusual in ancient times."

Li Tong said: "You guessed right, this must be a ruined temple of the Night Demon Clan...Haha! Now it should be called the Demon Temple."

The Smoker muttered, "I see that her appearance is somewhat similar to the statue in the Ice Demon Lord's mansion, except that she is a female with wings and is much bigger."

Cheng Bai said with a smile: "I remember that Sister Bei and the others seemed to be silent and motionless. Is it possible that the Night Demon Mistress will wake up?"

Bei Tingjun curled his lips and said, "We were sealed, but fortunately we woke up before our bodies decayed. The corpse of the God King and the ancient God Son were in very different conditions at that time."

Li Tong said: "The corpse of the God King seen in the Nine Abyss is not only decayed, but also the true spirit is annihilated and the holy fetus is exhausted. Even if the remaining incomplete flesh can be reborn with spiritual wisdom like the Bone King, it is the rebirth of a new soul and has nothing to do with the previous life."

Zhai Xufei said: "I think this corpse has almost no demonic energy left. It is just like a clay sculpture or a wooden statue. It is good enough to protect this cave from being eroded by the dark wind."

Cheng Bai looked at the deep cave between the legs of the Night Demon Mistress's corpse, which led to an unknown winding place in the darkness. He suddenly realized, "A monster is approaching quickly, coming from the opposite side."
