Chapter 503 Small World
After Fang Yue and Fox Girl entered the stone forest, the oppressive feeling of pursuing them finally disappeared, and they breathed a sigh of relief.
But both of them knew that although this place was temporarily safe, it also hid unknown dangers.
The light in the stone forest flickered, and those mysterious lights shuttled and intertwined among the stone pillars, as if weaving a huge and mysterious web.
While Fang Yue was observing the surroundings vigilantly, he gently touched the ground with his spear to test whether there was any mechanism.
The fox girl followed behind him, the ribbon in her hand fluttering slightly, ready to deal with emergencies at any time.
"The light here seems to be regular. Look at the patterns. This should be the forbidden magic circle outside the treasure land, which is blocking the black evil energy!"
The fox girl pointed at the changing pattern of light on the stone pillar and said. Those patterns sometimes turned into the shape of flying birds, and sometimes turned into mysterious runes, as if conveying some kind of message to them.
Fang Yue nodded slightly, with a flash of thought in his eyes: "If this is a magic circle that seals the black evil energy, then we can't touch the mechanism here at will, so as not to destroy the magic circle and let the evil energy wreak havoc again."
They carefully shuttled through the stone forest, taking every step with extreme caution.
Fang Yue nodded slightly, with a flash of thought in his eyes: "If this is a magic circle that seals the black evil energy, then we can't touch the mechanism here at will, so as not to destroy the magic circle and let the evil energy wreak havoc again."
They carefully shuttled through the stone forest, taking every step with extreme caution.
An hour later, he finally walked out of this area and came to the outside world.
The scene outside is completely different from that in the stone forest. The sun is shining brightly, the sky is as blue as a gem, and there is not a trace of dark clouds.
In front of you is a vast grassland, with the breeze blowing, the green grass undulating like waves, and colorful wild flowers dotting it, exuding bursts of fragrance.
Fang Yue and Fox Girl stood on the edge of the grassland, feeling the fresh air, but they did not relax their vigilance.
"It was me who got you into trouble this time. I didn't tell you my true identity, which made you wanted by the entire demon clan!"
Fang Yue looked at the fox girl solemnly, with a complicated look flashing in his eyes.
As a human being, sneaking into the demon world was a narrow escape for him. Therefore, he cannot reveal his identity.
But this time, the fox girl was wanted by the demon clan.
Fang Yue looked at the fox girl with a guilty look on his face: "I shouldn't have involved you in such a dangerous situation. It was my lack of consideration."
The fox girl shook her head gently, her eyes full of determination: "This is not your fault. If you hadn't saved me before, I would have died long ago. We have already shared life and death, so why bother about this."
Fang Yue nodded slightly, feeling warm in his heart: "You are right, but the first priority is that we have to find a place to stay and recover from our injuries."
The fox girl looked around, pointed to the depths of the grassland and said, "Let's go over there and see, maybe we can find a hidden place. This grassland is so vast, there should be a suitable hiding place."
They walked deeper into the grassland, avoiding open areas as much as possible and moving along the cover of grass and wild flowers. After walking for a while, they found a depression surrounded by small hills. Dense grass and several large trees grew in the depression, forming a natural shelter.
"It looks good here. We can take a rest here." Fang Yue said.
They walked into the depression, and Fang Yue found a relatively flat piece of grass to sit down on, and began to use his exercises to recover his strength and injuries. The fox girl arranged a simple warning circle around her to prevent enemies from approaching.
During the rest, the fox girl looked at Fang Yue, with a trace of worry in her eyes: "We are now wanted by the demon clan, and our actions will become more and more difficult. Moreover, there seem to be more and more creatures controlled by evil forces. We We must find a way to fight the evil force as soon as possible."
Fang Yue opened his eyes and nodded: "Well, we need more clues. When we recover from our injuries, we can explore this grassland again. Maybe we can find useful information."
After a long time, Fang Yue slowly opened his eyes, and with a flash of light in his eyes, he could feel that his injuries had recovered to 70% to 80%.
At this time, his eyes fell on the spear in his hand.
He had not refined the spear obtained from the secret realm of the treasure land.
He knew that it had greater potential that had yet to be discovered.
Fang Yue gently stroked the spear, and a cool feeling came from the gun, spreading throughout his body along his fingertips.
He could feel that the gun contained a deep and mysterious power, as if it was a mysterious realm that had not yet been explored.
"This spear has shown extraordinary qualities in previous battles. If it can be completely refined, it may become the key to our fight against evil forces." Fang Yue thought to himself.
The fox girl came over and looked at Fang Yue and the spear in his hand: "Do you want to refine it now? This may take a lot of time, and the process may be dangerous. We have to ensure that it is safe enough here."
Fang Yue nodded slightly: "I know, but we urgently need to improve our strength now. This is an opportunity. Help me protect the law and notify me immediately if anything unusual happens."
The fox goddess nodded solemnly: "Okay, be careful."
Fang Yue found a quieter corner, sat down cross-legged, and placed the spear horizontally in front of him.
He took a deep breath to calm his mind, then slowly stretched out his hands and placed them on the gun.
He began to guide the energy in his body and cautiously explored the spear, like an explorer groping through an unknown maze.
At first, there seemed to be an invisible barrier between the vitality and the spear. As soon as Fang Yue's vitality came into contact, it was gently bounced back.
He frowned slightly, but was not discouraged. He once again increased his energy output and tried to break through from different angles.
With the continuous impact of vitality, the spear finally showed some reaction.
The runes on the gun began to flicker with a faint light, and the light flickered on and off, as if it was tentatively communicating with Fang Yue's vitality.
When Fang Yue saw this, he felt happy and focused more on guiding his energy, trying to establish a deeper connection with the runes.
However, at this moment, the spear suddenly burst out with a powerful counterattack force, which hit Fang Yue like a raging wave.
Fang Yue only felt a sharp pain in his chest, as if he had been hit by a heavy hammer, and a mouthful of blood rushed to his throat, but he swallowed it forcefully and stabilized his body.
"Fang Yue!" Fox Girl exclaimed and looked at him worriedly.
Fang Yue wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and shook his head: "I'm fine. The resistance of this spear is stronger than I imagined, but this also shows that it is extraordinary."
He adjusted his breathing and injected vitality into the spear again.
This time, he became more cautious, no longer blindly charging, but trying to find the operating rules of the spear's power.
His vitality was like a keen tentacle, shuttling between the runes on the gun body, feeling every flow of energy.
After some exploration, Fang Yue finally found some clues.
He discovered that there was a delicate balance between the runes of the spear, like a precise mechanism. Only by guiding the vitality in a specific order and way could it be truly integrated with the spear.
He slowly injected vitality into the gun body according to the method he had figured out.
This time, the spear's reaction was obviously much milder.
The rune light on the gun gradually stabilized and began to flicker with the flow of Fang Yue's vitality, as if dancing with his vitality.
Time passed by, Fang Yue's forehead was covered with sweat, but his eyes remained firm.
As the last rune was lit, the spear made a strong buzzing sound, and the entire gun body was enveloped in a dazzling golden light.
The light illuminated the entire depression and dispersed the surrounding shadows.
Fang Yue slowly stood up and held the spear.
At this time, the spear seemed to be alive in his hand. He could clearly feel the powerful power contained in the spear. This power echoed with his vitality and merged into one.
"Successful!" Fang Yue showed a happy smile on his face.
The fox girl also breathed a sigh of relief, walked over and praised: "The aura of this spear is much stronger now than before. It seems that your efforts have not been in vain."
Fang Yue waved the spear gently, and the gun barrel cut through the air, emitting a crisp chirping sound, as if cheering for the fusion with its master.
He could feel the constant flow of power in the spear, intertwined with his own vitality, forming a unique rhythm.
Fang Yue felt the power coming from the spear, and felt more confident about the next action. He looked at the fox girl, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes: "We can't stay in the demon world for a long time. It's too dangerous for us here, and the spread of evil power has exceeded our imagination. We need to return to the human territory to find more information." Much help.”
The fox girl frowned slightly: "But how are we going to leave? The demon tribe must have strictly guarded all exits, not to mention that we are still wanted criminals."
Fang Yue clenched his spear and looked into the distance: "No matter what, we have to try. We search along the edge of the grassland, and we may be able to find a weakly defended place to break through."
They packed up their gear, left the depression, and walked towards the junction of the grassland and other areas. Along the way, they tried to avoid demon patrols and settlements, and sneaked carefully.
After walking for several days, they came to a valley. The demonic energy here is relatively thin, and the valley is filled with a layer of mysterious mist, which seems to be an exploitable cover.
"This valley is a bit strange. Maybe we can go through here and see if we can find a way out of the demon world." Fang Yue said.
The fox girl nodded and they walked cautiously into the valley. The valley was filled with fog and visibility was very low. They could only move forward with their keen sense.
Suddenly, Fang Yue felt a strong suction force coming from the depths of the valley. He hurriedly grabbed the fox girl and stabilized his body.
"Be careful, there's something weird here!" Fang Yue shouted.
As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding fog began to rotate rapidly, forming huge vortexes.
There was a faint light flickering in the vortex, seeming to be calling them.
"Is this some kind of teleportation circle? Or is it a trap?" Fox Girl asked nervously.
Fang Yue frowned: "No matter what it is, we have no other choice now. Get ready, let's go in and take a look."
They flew towards a larger whirlpool. The moment they entered the whirlpool, a powerful force enveloped them. They felt as if they were traveling through a time and space tunnel, surrounded by colorful lights and howling wind.
After an unknown amount of time, they emerged from the whirlpool and found themselves in a strange place.
The environment here is completely different from the demon world. There are strange stars twinkling in the sky, surrounded by a desolate desert, and some ancient ruins stand in the desert.
"Where is this place? We seem to have left the demon world, but this is not human territory." Fang Yue said doubtfully.
The fox girl looked around: "The atmosphere here is very ancient. Maybe these ruins contain clues to our departure. Let's take a look around first."
They walked towards the nearest ruins, raising some dust with every step.
The walls of the ruins were mottled under the erosion of time, and the mysterious patterns and words engraved on them seemed to be silently telling ancient legends.
Fang Yue reached out and touched the lines on the wall, and a slight tingling came from his fingertips, as if these ancient marks had their own will and were resisting the prying of outsiders.
"I have never seen the style of these patterns and words. They must hide huge secrets." Fang Yue frowned and said.
The fox girl observed carefully on the side, and her eyes were suddenly attracted by a slightly raised stone slab: "Look here, this stone slab seems to be different from the surrounding ones, and the pattern on it seems to have a special meaning."
Fang Yue walked over and squatted down to check.
A complex star map was engraved on the stone slab. The positions of the stars in the star map had a subtle echo with the arrangement of the strange stars in the sky.
"This may be a clue to open a certain mechanism or passage. We have to find a way to activate it that corresponds to this star map."
They searched everywhere in the ruins, leaving no corner untouched.
In the depths of the ruins, they found a circular stone platform surrounded by a circle of small stone pillars, which were also engraved with star patterns.
"This stone platform should be related to the star map. Let's try to touch these stone pillars according to the arrangement of the star map." Fang Yue said.
They carefully followed the guidance of the star map and touched the stone pillars one by one.
Every time a stone pillar was touched, it would emit a faint light, and the color of the light was similar to the color of the stars in the sky.
When the last stone pillar was touched, a dazzling light column appeared in the center of the stone platform, and a faint image emerged in the light column.
The image showed an ancient ceremony, a group of people in strange costumes surrounded a huge teleportation array, chanting something.
The teleportation array exuded powerful energy fluctuations, and the light flashed, as if something was teleported to a distant place.
"This is a teleportation ritual. It seems that there is really a way to leave here." The fox girl said excitedly.
However, at this moment, there was a violent vibration in the desert.
They ran out of the ruins to check, and saw that the desert in the distance was like a boiling ocean, with sand dunes constantly rising and falling, and a huge sandworm drilled out from under the sand.
The sandworm was huge, covered with hard shells, and each section of its body flashed with strange light.
"Another trouble, it seems that we have to deal with this guy before we can continue to explore."
Fang Yue clenched the spear, and the runes on the spear body flashed, exuding a powerful breath.
The sandworm sensed their presence, roared, and rushed towards them.
Wherever it passed, the sand was raised high, forming a sand wave.
Fang Yue took the lead to meet it. His figure was like lightning, and the spear in his hand was waving, and a spear light shot at the sandworm.
The spear light hit the shell of the sandworm, splashing a series of sparks, but the shell of the sandworm was too hard, leaving only some shallow marks on the surface. (End of this chapter)
