Chapter 497 Origin

Fang Yue and others stood at the gate of the palace, shocked by the magnificent scene before them and speechless for a moment.

The fox girl's eyes flashed with surprise and curiosity, and she whispered:

"Fang Yue, have we really found the core area of ​​the mysterious place? It's so spectacular here!"

Fang Yue nodded slightly, his eyes revealing a look of vigilance and excitement, and responded:

"It's very likely, but there must be many unknown dangers and secrets hidden here, we must not take it lightly."

Old Turtle focused on observing the architectural style of the palace and the details around it, muttering to himself:

"The construction style of this palace is very different from what I have seen before. It contains extremely powerful and mysterious power. We must be extremely careful in our actions."

They walked slowly into the palace, and the sound of their footsteps echoed clearly in the empty hall.

The floor of the hall was paved with smooth stone slabs, and each stone slab was engraved with exquisite runes. These runes flashed faintly, as if following some mysterious rhythm.

In the center of the palace, there is a huge stone platform, on which is placed a book emitting mysterious light.

The cover of the book is simple and gorgeous, inlaid with various precious gems. The light of the gems and the light of the book itself are intertwined, creating a mysterious and charming atmosphere.

Fang Yue walked towards the stone platform, and his eyes were deeply attracted by the book. He could feel that the book contained huge energy and endless knowledge, but at the same time there was an invisible pressure emanating from the book, which made him dare not touch it easily.

"Old Turtle, what is this?" Fang Yue turned his head and asked Old Turtle.

Old Turtle walked forward and looked at the book carefully again, his expression becoming more and more solemn.

"This book is probably the key to the mysterious place.

From the aura it exudes, it must contain powerful mysterious power and ancient knowledge.

But this power is strictly protected, and we must not act rashly, otherwise it may cause unpredictable dangers."

The fox girl looked at the book nervously and said worriedly: "What should we do? This book looks so mysterious, we can't just give up the opportunity to explore it."

Fang Yue pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Let's continue to look for clues in the palace to see if we can find a way to unlock the mysterious power of this book. Maybe there will be some clues in the surrounding environment."

They began to search the palace more carefully.

Every pillar and every mural were not spared, trying to find clues about the book.

However, everything in the palace seemed to be shrouded in a mysterious veil, making it elusive.

Fang Yue walked slowly along the wall of the palace, his eyes lingering on the murals.

These murals are colorful but mottled with time. Some of the pictures show strange creatures casting mysterious spells, and some are people performing some kind of ritual around objects similar to the book on the stone platform.

"Look, the ritual in this mural seems to be related to the book." Fang Yue pointed to a mural and said.

In the picture, a group of people in ancient costumes stood in the center of a huge magic circle, and the light of the magic circle gathered on a book. The appearance of the book was very similar to the one on the stone platform, but the picture was a little blurry.

Turtle Lao approached the mural and carefully observed the postures of those people and the patterns of the magic circle.

"Yes, this may be an ancient ritual used to open or control the power of the book. But how to do it specifically requires more information."

Fox Girl touched the pillars lightly and felt the carvings on them.

"The carvings on these pillars are also very strange. There seem to be some repetitive patterns. Could it be related to the rituals on the murals?"

They re-examined the carvings on the pillars and found that one of the eye-like patterns appeared frequently.

And every time they walked to a specific location, the rune light on the stone slab on the ground would have subtle changes near this eye pattern.

"This eye pattern may be the key."

Fang Yue said, "Let's walk along the route where the eye pattern changes."

They followed the direction indicated by the eye pattern and came to a side hall of the palace.

The light in the side hall was even dimmer, with only a few mysterious rays of light coming through the gaps at the top.

In the center of the side hall, there was a small stone platform on which was placed an ancient scroll.

Fang Yue carefully picked up the scroll and gently unfolded it.

There were some complex graphics and symbols painted on the scroll, some of which they had seen on murals and pillars.

"This should be one of the clues we are looking for."

Old Turtle looked at the scroll with a frown.

"These graphics and symbols seem to describe a sequence, which may be the steps to unlock the power of the book, but it will take time to interpret them clearly."

Just as they were concentrating on the scroll, a low humming sound suddenly came from the palace, like the sound of some mechanism being triggered.

They immediately became alert, holding their weapons tightly, ready to deal with possible dangers.

As the humming sound became louder and louder, the air around them seemed to become tense.

Suddenly, several rays of light shot out from the wall of the side hall, and these rays of light intertwined in mid-air to form an illusory image.

The image was an old man with deep eyes, as if he was watching them through time and space.

At the same time, an invisible wave swept across the sky.

This invisible wave exuded a strong pressure, making Fang Yue and others feel a little difficult to breathe.

At this time, the old man's shadow gradually solidified.

The old man's face gradually became clearer, and every wrinkle seemed to be engraved with the traces of time. He looked at Fang Yue and others with burning eyes, and his voice was low and majestic again: "When you come to the burial place of the gods, you can prepare your tokens."

Perhaps because it was so long ago, although this figure looked the same as an ordinary person, it could not fully convey the sound.

Soon Fang Li discovered that the shadow was just repeating this sentence mechanically.

Thinking about it, it should be some kind of mechanism in this palace.

"God burial place? Token? What does this have to do with the secret place? Is there any secret in this place?"

Fang Yue frowned and fell into deep thought.

I originally thought that the secret of the ancient demon general was hidden in this secret place, but now it seems that this place is not simple, but more mysterious.

And at this time.

The tortoise shell that Mr. Gui took out from his body exuded a primitive atmosphere. There were some mysterious lines on the tortoise shell. These lines, illuminated by the light of the palace, resonated wonderfully with the surrounding environment.

After the invisible wave appeared on the tortoise shell, it seemed to have stopped for a moment, and even the old man's shadow trembled slightly.

"This is..." Fox Girl looked at Old Turtle in surprise.

Turtle Lao said solemnly: "This is a thing that has been passed down from generation to generation by our clan. Legend has it that it had some connection with the mysterious place. I only regarded it as a legend, but I didn't expect that it would come in use today."

As the tortoise shell appears, the surrounding environment begins to change.

The violent invisible fluctuations gradually subsided and turned into gentle air currents shuttled through the side hall. The light on the wall also became bright and stable. Those lights intertwined to form clear pictures on the wall.

In the picture, the ancient gods stood on a towering altar, waving staffs emitting colorful light with both hands.

Below them, the figures of humans and monsters were densely packed, and their original different forms gradually changed under the power of the gods.

I saw light shrouding every life, and strange lines began to appear on the human race's body. These lines seemed to be channels of ancient power, blending with the human race's own vitality.

Some tribesmen's bodies became tougher in the light, and power surged through their bodies; while some tribesmen's eyes flashed with mysterious light, as if they had gained the ability to see into the world.

The demon clan is no exception. Their originally wild aura has become even deeper under the transformation of the power of the gods.

Mysterious totems appear on the fur of some demons, and these totems give them new powers, such as the ability to fly or control elements.

There are also some demon clans whose body shapes have undergone huge changes. Their originally small bodies have become as huge as mountains, and their strength has also increased exponentially.

During this transformation process, various strange celestial phenomena appeared in the sky. Colorful clouds unfolded like scrolls, and lightning and thunder shuttled through the clouds, as if the heaven and earth were cheering or warning for this great change.

And the book placed on the stone platform also shines with a unique brilliance in the picture.

It seems to be the core recorder of the entire transformation process. Every flash of light is accompanied by changes in the power of humans and monsters, as if the knowledge in the book is guiding the gods on how to give life new forms and powers.

Fang Yue and others watched these pictures intently, and were shocked in their hearts.

"Is this the relationship between the demon race and the human race?"

Fang Yue frowned, his eyes full of shock and thought.

“We always thought that the demon race and the human race were just two races that coexisted in this world, but we never expected that they have a common origin, and they are both related to this mysterious place and the ancient gods.

But why did we later go on different paths, and even fight? "

Turtle Lao nodded slightly, stroked his beard and said: "The years are long, and there must be countless changes during them.

Perhaps during the long process of development, the two races had different understandings and uses of the power given by the gods, or perhaps there were other factors that led to the differences.

But what is certain is that this book must contain the answers we want to know. "

At this time, the Lord came here with many demon clans.

Their appearance made the already mysterious palace atmosphere even more tense.

The Lord is tall and exudes a majestic aura. His eyes are like the deep night sky, as if they hide endless secrets.

The monsters behind them were of various shapes, some were looking around cautiously, while others were amazed at the magnificent scene around them.

The Lord spoke slowly, with a voice like Hong Zhongdalu: "Fang Yue, let me see where you can run this time. This place where the Gods are buried is your burial place!"

When Fang Yue heard this, his expression became stern, he clenched the weapon in his hand a little more, and responded loudly: "So, you deliberately released the news about the secret treasure to lure us here? Who are you, and why do you know that this place is It’s a burial place for immortals!”

A sneer appeared on the corner of the Lord's lips: "Humph, Fang Yue, you are quite smart. Yes, I deliberately released the news to lure you here. As for why I know that this place is the Burial Immortal Land, that's not what you should know. You guys The human race has taken up too many resources in this world, and it’s time to pay the price.”

"Why are you from the human race?" The fox girl looked at Fang Yue in disbelief.

Obviously, she always thought that Fang Yuenei was a wolf monster, but she didn't expect that the truth was like this.

For a moment, it was hard to accept!

The fox girl's eyes were full of shock and confusion, and her body trembled slightly, as if she was trying to digest this sudden news.

"How could you... be a human? For so long, I have always regarded you... as a member of our demon race."

Fang Yue looked at the fox girl, and a trace of guilt flashed in his eyes: "Fox girl, I never deliberately deceived you.

My identity is not important. What is important is that we cannot let the hatred between the two races continue to spread, especially after we discovered these secrets."

However, the fox girl was caught in a chaotic thought at this time.

She looked at Fang Yue, and then at the surrounding human and demon races, with mixed feelings in her heart.

On the one hand, she and Fang Yue and others have experienced a lot together and have deep feelings;

On the other hand, the words of the Lord and the long-term opposition between the two races kept echoing in her mind.

Seeing this, the Lord took the opportunity to say: "Fox girl, what are you still hesitating about? He is a human, an enemy of our demon race. If you still stand with him, you will betray our entire demon race."

The fox girl bit her lip, and a trace of struggle flashed in her eyes: "Lord, things are not that simple. We have seen the pictures of the common origin of the two races. Maybe we have been blinded by hatred."

The Lord snorted: "What can those pictures show? Now the human race is powerful and is pressing our demon race step by step. We must resist."

At this moment, the surrounding environment changed again.

The light on the wall became more dazzling, and the pictures began to flash quickly, as if conveying some urgent information to everyone.

Some new scenes appeared in the picture, showing that in the past years, whenever the two races fought fiercely, there would be mysterious dark forces stirring up trouble in the dark, and they seemed to use the hatred of the two races to achieve their own goals.

"Let's go together and kill this human who practiced the demon-swallowing magic!"

The Lord ignored it and ordered his demons to attack Fang Yue.

After the Lord's order, the demons hesitated but still rushed towards Fang Yue.

Seeing this, Fang Yue knew that fighting hard at this time would only make the situation more chaotic and cause more casualties.

He made a prompt decision and rushed towards the fox girl, pulling her up while she was still in a daze, and shouted to the old turtle: "Old turtle, hurry up!"

The old turtle also knew that this was not the time to fight, so he cast a spell to form a faint halo around the three people, speeding up their speed. (End of this chapter)
