Chapter 498 Walking Alone

Fang Yue ran wildly in the palace with Fox Girl and Turtle Lao, followed by the demon clan in hot pursuit.

As they walked through intricate corridors, the surrounding scenes passed by like phantoms.

"We can't keep running like this, we have to find a place to hide." Fang Yue said as he ran.

Turtle Lao nodded: "Yes, if we continue like this, our physical strength will be exhausted and we will easily fall into a dead end."

At this moment, they found a fork in the road ahead. The passage on the left was filled with mysterious fog, and on the right there were bursts of strange energy fluctuations.

"Which way to go?" Fox Girl asked anxiously.

Fang Yue thought for a while: "The fog on the left may be able to hide our traces, so go to the left."

They rushed into the fog without hesitation. The fog was cold and damp, with an ancient and mysterious atmosphere, and visibility was extremely low.

But they didn't dare to stop and could only move forward based on their feelings.

After running in the mist for an unknown amount of time, they discovered a hidden cave.

The entrance to the cave is very small and surrounded by moss and vines, making it difficult to spot without looking carefully.

"Go in and hide first."

Fang Yue said, taking the lead into the cave.

The cave was more spacious than they imagined, and the surrounding walls were inlaid with crystals that emitted a faint light, barely able to illuminate the surrounding environment.

Turtle Lao observed the surroundings vigilantly: "It is safe here for the time being, but we have to find a way to get rid of the demon clan, and we have to go back to find out the secret of the book and the origin of the two clans."

Soon the demon clan discovered them. When a keen demon eagle was hovering in the air, it discovered the moss and vines disturbed by them at the entrance of the cave, and made a sharp cry to send a signal to other demon clans.

After hearing this, the Lord immediately led the demon clan towards the cave. Fang Yue and the others heard the noise coming from outside in the cave, and their faces became solemn.

"You two go first, those monsters are targeting me!"

A trace of determination flashed in Fang Yue's eyes, and he pushed Fox Girl and Turtle Lao deeper into the cave.

But Gui Lao shook his head: "Fang Yue, we are together, how can we abandon you at this time. If we want to walk together, we will fight together."

The fox girl also stood firmly by Fang Yue's side: "Yes, we have experienced so much together, and I will not leave."

Fang Yue felt a warm current in his heart, but he knew that the situation was critical at this time: "There is no time to argue. We can't all be stuck here. You find a chance to get out first, and I will hold them back."

However, the demon clan has approached the cave. The Lord's voice sounded outside the cave: "Fang Yue, you can't escape!"

Just as the Lord's voice echoed outside the cave, Fang Yue was already ready to fight. He held the weapon tightly, with fearlessness in his eyes, standing in the center of the cave like a solid fortress.

Fox Girl and Turtle Lao looked at Fang Yue's back, their eyes full of admiration and reluctance. The fox girl bit her lip, tears shining in her eyes: "Fang Yue, you must be careful."

Turtle Lao took out a small object with a shimmering light from his arms and handed it to Fang Yue: "This is our clan's protective magic weapon. It may be able to help you at a critical moment."

Fang Yue took the magic weapon and nodded: "Thank you, please find another exit and leave."

At this time, the demon tribe had already rushed into the cave.

The Lord walked at the front, his eyes full of anger and murderous intent. When he saw Fang Yue standing there alone, he sneered: "Fang Yue, you have some courage, but today is your death day. "

Fang Yue responded without fear: "Humph, we have different ways and we don't want to conspire with each other. Lord, you are stubborn and insist on provoking a dispute between the two clans. It will only cause pain to the relatives and happiness to the enemies. We are from the same origin. , but you are blinded by hatred and cannot see the truth. "

The Lord was extremely angry and laughed back: "Same origin? Have the human race committed many crimes against our demon clan? Today I will seek justice for the demon clan."

After saying that, he took the lead and shot out a sharp black light from his hand, heading straight towards Fang Yue.

Fang Yue dodged sideways, and the black light hit the cave wall, splashing a burst of gravel.

He knew that the Lord was very powerful and could not resist head-on. He could only rely on his flexible body skills to dodge attacks and look for opportunities to counterattack.

The monsters also cast their spells one after another, and for a while the light flashed in the cave, and all kinds of attacks came towards Fang Yue overwhelmingly.

Fang Yue shuttled between the gaps in the attacks, waving the weapon in his hand constantly to block the attacks that came close to him.

Fang Yue shuttled through the gaps in the monster attacks, always looking for opportunities to break through. Suddenly, he found that there was a short gap on the right side of the demon clan's encirclement. That was because several demon clan's mana connection was delayed for a moment after casting spells.

Fang Yue's eyes flashed, and he seized this fleeting opportunity and rushed to the right. He gathered the power in his body into his feet, and his whole body shot out like an arrow from a string. Seeing this, the Lord shouted: "Stop him!" But Fang Yue's speed was too fast. He flashed and avoided several spells shot at him, and he just rushed out from the circle of monsters. .

After rushing out of the cave, the fog outside was still filled. Fang Yue didn't stop at all and ran towards the other direction of the palace. He knew that he couldn't let the demon clan catch up with him easily again and had to find a more favorable place.

The Lord led the demon clan in hot pursuit. They ran wildly in the mist, and their angry roars echoed in the palace. Fang Yue observed the surrounding environment while running. He found a garden-like place not far away, with some strange plants in it. The branches and leaves of these plants were swaying in the mist, seeming to hide some mysterious power.

Fang Yue rushed into the garden without hesitation. As soon as he entered the garden, he felt a strange force affecting his perception, as if the space around him had become distorted. But he had no time to think about this, because the demons had already chased him in.

The Lord looked at the surrounding environment and frowned slightly: "Fang Yue, do you think you can escape by hiding here?" As he said, he ordered the demons to disperse and search. Fang Yue used the plants in the garden as cover and quietly moved towards the depths of the garden. He found that some of the plants here could release smoke to confuse the enemy, and some had tough vines that could be used as defensive tools.

He quietly broke off a few vines and hid them in his hands, ready to use them at a critical moment.

Just then, a demon discovered his trace and sounded the alarm.

Fang Yue secretly shouted in his heart that it was not good. He quickly rushed towards the demon who sounded the alarm. At the moment of approaching, he threw out the vines in his hand, and the vines wrapped around the demon like a spirit snake and bound it.

But other demons also quickly surrounded him, and Fang Yue was surrounded again.

He leaned against a huge flower, which emitted a faint light, as if providing him with some kind of shelter.

The Lord walked slowly, with a smug smile on his face: "Fang Yue, let's see where you can run this time."

Fang Yue held his weapon tightly, looking at the Lord and the demons with a firm gaze, preparing for the upcoming battle.

He knew that he had to hold on and wait for the fox girl and the old turtle to get out of trouble, perhaps they still had a chance of survival.

Fang Yue glanced at the demons around him, his brain working rapidly, thinking about how to get out.

He noticed that there were some thick branches above his head that intertwined with each other, forming a natural trellis.

He came up with a plan and suddenly rushed towards a huge rock next to him, pretending to break out from there.

Seeing this, the demons surrounded him in the direction of the boulder.

The moment Fang Yue approached the boulder, he turned around suddenly, jumped high with the help of the momentum, and reached out to grab the branch above his head.

He swung hard and landed lightly on the branch.

"Chase! He's in the tree!" the Lord roared.

Some of the demons cast flying spells, while others climbed along the tree trunks and chased Fang Yue.

Fang Yue quickly shuttled between the branches, using the dense branches and leaves to cover his figure.

He saw a particularly huge ancient tree not far away, with a huge tree hole on the trunk of the ancient tree.

Fang Yue ran towards the ancient tree, and when he was about to reach the tree hole, he picked some leaves with confusing smoke from the tree and threw them behind him.

The smoke spread quickly, and the demons chasing behind were shrouded in the smoke. For a time, they were in chaos and collided with each other.

Fang Yue took the opportunity to get into the tree hole. The space inside the tree hole was large and filled with a mysterious fragrance.

He found a glowing rune deep in the tree hole, and the light of the rune seemed to be similar to some power in the palace before.

Fang Yue approached the rune cautiously, wanting to see if he could use it to get rid of the demons.

At this moment, the Lord's voice came from outside the tree hole: "Fang Yue, you can't escape, I can feel your breath."

The Lord led some of the demons to break through the smoke and came to the tree hole.

Fang Yue clenched his fists and stared at the Lord's figure outside the tree hole.

He knew that a fierce battle was coming, and this rune might be his last hope.

The Lord stood in front of the tree hole, his eyes full of anger and disdain: "Fang Yue, do you think this small tree hole can stop me?"

As he said, he condensed a ball of black energy in his hand and blasted towards the tree hole.

Fang Yue quickly dodged to the side, and the black energy hit the inner wall of the tree hole, splashing a burst of sawdust.

He looked at the Lord and shouted loudly: "Lord, if you insist on doing this, it will only put more demons in danger."

The Lord sneered: "Don't quibble, today is your death day."

After that, he commanded the demons to attack the tree hole together. For a while, various magic lights flew towards the tree hole.

Fang Yue dodged the attack while carefully observing the rune.

He found that the light on the rune flickered faster after being impacted by the attack.

He was moved. Could it be that this rune needed a strong energy stimulation?

Just as the attack of the demon clan became more and more fierce, Fang Yue saw the opportunity and injected his power into the rune.

The rune glowed brightly and released a strong energy wave in an instant, which shook the demon clan around the tree hole away.

The Lord was also hit by this energy wave and took a few steps back, but he quickly stabilized his body, and the murderous intent in his eyes became stronger: "Humph, you have some skills, but this is not enough."

Fang Yue took this opportunity to rush out from another exit of the tree hole.

He found himself in a strange place, where there was an ancient stone bridge, and under the bridge was a river with mysterious light flowing.

He ran towards the stone bridge, and the Lord and the demon clan behind him chased him closely.

When he stepped onto the stone bridge, he felt an ancient and mysterious power transmitted from the bridge to him.

He found some ancient characters engraved on the railings of the stone bridge, which seemed to tell a secret about the palace.

Fang Yue tried to decipher the characters while running, hoping to find a way to get rid of the monsters.

Suddenly, Fang Yue deciphered some information from the characters, which seemed to mention that the stone bridge had some special restriction mechanism that could hinder the pursuers.

He ran faster towards the center of the stone bridge, keeping an eye on the movements of the demons behind him.

The Lord led the demons to the stone bridge. As soon as they stepped onto the stone bridge, they felt an invisible force begin to suppress their magic power.

"What the hell is this place?"

The Lord frowned, but the murderous intent in his eyes did not diminish, and he still drove the demons to continue chasing Fang Yue.

Fang Yue ran to the center of the stone bridge and found a small stone platform with some complex patterns engraved on it. These patterns were somewhat similar to the mysterious symbols he had seen in various places in the palace before.

He approached the stone platform and tried to find more clues from these patterns.

At this time, the demons, under the pressure of the Lord, forcibly broke through part of the limiting power of the stone bridge and continued to approach Fang Yue.

Fang Yue's heart tightened, and he knew that time was running out.

At this moment, he found that there was a slight depression in the pattern on the stone platform, which looked like some special key.

Fang Yue's mind quickly flashed through the various items he had seen when exploring the palace before. Suddenly, he remembered the ancient scroll he saw on the stone platform in the side hall.

Some of the graphics and symbols on the scroll seemed to have some connection with the patterns here.

He tried to concentrate the power in his body on his fingers, and according to the memory on the scroll, he drew the corresponding symbols in the depression.

Just when the last stroke was completed, the stone bridge suddenly shook violently, and the mysterious river of light flowing under the bridge seemed to be summoned, and the light rushed up to the sky, forming a light curtain around the stone bridge.

Strange runes flashed on the light curtain, emitting powerful energy fluctuations, which bounced off the attacks of the monsters.

Seeing this, the master's face became more gloomy, and he increased his strength to hit the light curtain, trying to break through by force.

Fang Yue took advantage of this gap to continue observing the stone platform.

He found that the stone platform had new changes under the stimulation of the power of the light curtain, and those complex patterns began to flash, as if conveying some information.

Fang Yue concentrated on interpreting the pattern flashing pattern, and he found that these flashing patterns seemed to form a picture, showing that there was a hidden mechanism at the end of the stone bridge. Activating the mechanism can open a passage to the deeper part of the palace, where the key to resolving the dispute between the two tribes may be hidden.

At this time, the Lord's attack caused the light curtain to begin to fluctuate unsteadily, and the light became dim and bright.

Fang Yue knew that once the light curtain was breached, he would be in dire straits again.

He had to quickly uncover the secret of the stone platform pattern and activate the mechanism at the end of the stone bridge. (End of this chapter)
