Chapter 505 Great Change
"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 Shimen warily.
The fox girl nodded slightly, and her eyes quickly scanned the surroundings, trying to find more clues:
"The round object on that mural must be the key. Let's look carefully to see if there are any similar objects or related hints nearby."
As a result, the two 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 rock caught her eye.
She knelt down, gently moved the stone, and found a small hidden compartment under the stone. In the hidden compartment was a round crystal that emitted a soft light. The lines on the crystal seemed to have some echo with the symbols on the stone door. .
"Fang Yue, look!" the fox girl shouted in surprise.
Fang Yue hurried over. After seeing the crystal, a hint 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 shone with dazzling light. The light spread along the patterns on the stone door, as if giving new life to the dragons, phoenixes and immortals.
The stone door slowly opened, and a powerful and mysterious force surged 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.
"It feels full of power here." 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 reached 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, trapping Fang Yue and Fox Girl. in.
"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 and 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 according to 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 along the magic circle.
With their efforts, the light of the light 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. These statues have different shapes, including monsters with animal heads and human bodies, as well as monsters with animal heads and human bodies. A god spreading his wings and 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, on the border of the Wei Dynasty in the human world, a demon tribe closed down a node.
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 and holding sharp swords, watching every move around them with vigilance.
Ancient runic arrays are 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 and frowned, knowing that this might indicate a huge crisis.
This general's name is Li Su, 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 examining every rune and magical 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 quick horse to convey a message to the court. At the same time, increase your vigilance. If there is any situation, report it immediately."
The deputy general took the order and left, while Li Su continued to inspect.
He came to a rune array, squatted down, and reached out to touch the rune.
He could feel the chaotic energy transmitted by the rune, which was different from the demon seal power he had known before, and seemed to be mixed with some more ancient and mysterious breath.
At this moment, a gust of wind whistled past, blowing the flags of the soldiers.
A low roar was faintly heard in the wind, as if coming from the depths of the distant underground.
Li Su's face changed, he stood up, gripped the sword at his waist, and shouted loudly: "Everyone is on guard!"
The soldiers acted quickly and were ready.
As the roar became clearer and clearer, some small cracks began to appear on the ground at the sealed town node, and wisps of black mist seeped out of the cracks.
These mists contained powerful demon power, and when they came into contact with the surrounding grass and trees, the grass and trees withered instantly.
"What's going on? Is there a demon 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 defense array to prepare for possible attacks from the demon tribe.
He stood at the front, ready 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, covered with hard scales and emitting a gloomy cold light.
Then, a huge figure slowly emerged from the ground. It was as big as a mountain, with a huge head and sharp fangs, and exuded powerful demonic power. It was actually an ancient demon that had been sealed for many years.
"Hmph, humble humans, today is your death day!" The ancient demon opened its bloody mouth and roared loudly.
Li Su was fearless. He raised his sword high, pointed it at the ancient demon, and shouted loudly: "Don't be arrogant. We have guarded this place for many years. How can you, a demon, be so presumptuous!"
His voice was like a huge bell, echoing on the battlefield, which inspired the soldiers behind him.
He rushed towards the ancient monster first, his body was as fast as lightning, and the sword in his hand swung out a series of sharp sword energy. The sword energy slashed on the scales of the ancient monster, splashing a series of sparks, but only left a shallow mark on its hard skin.
Seeing this, the ancient monster let out a mocking roar, and swept its huge tail violently, bringing a gust of wind, sweeping towards Li Su and the soldiers.
Li Su hurriedly used his body skills to narrowly avoid this fierce attack, but some soldiers who failed to dodge were swept up by the gust of wind and fell heavily to the ground, spitting blood.
"Focus on attacking 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, and the sharp arrows shot at the target like raindrops.
The melee soldiers were divided into small teams, trying to attack the joints of the monster.
The ancient monster seemed to have sensed the human's intention. It shook its head violently, and a stream of black demonic power spurted out of its mouth. The demonic power turned into substance, and bounced off the sharp arrows.
At the same time, it stomped its limbs hard, and the ground shook violently, and some soldiers close to it were shaken to the ground.
At this time, Li Su exploded. He used his spiritual power to the extreme, and his whole body burst into a brilliant light, which was as dazzling as the sun.
His figure turned into a stream of light and rushed towards the ancient monster in an instant. The sword in his hand hummed, as if responding to the master's determination.
Li Su avoided the black demonic power sprayed by the ancient monster and shuttled flexibly between its huge body.
He seized the opportunity and suddenly jumped above the head of the ancient monster, shouting: "Break!"
The sword in his hand stabbed straight at the left eye of the ancient monster.
This sword contains his lifelong skills, and the sword body is surrounded by strands of spiritual power, like a spirit snake.
The ancient monster sensed the great danger, and it twisted its head frantically, trying to avoid the fatal blow.
But Li Su was too fast, and the sword blade still pierced its left eye fiercely.
A stream of black blood gushed out, and the ancient monster roared in pain. The roar was deafening, and everyone on the battlefield felt the eardrums piercing.
However, the ancient monster waved its huge claws at Li Su in severe pain.
Li Su was unable to dodge and was hit hard. His body flew out like a kite with a broken string, and fell heavily to the ground, with blood gushing out of his mouth.
His armor was almost broken by this blow, and many wounds were deep enough to see the bone.
But this blow also completely angered the soldiers. They roared and rushed towards the ancient monster, their eyes full of anger and determination.
"Revenge for the general!"
The soldiers shouted and killed one after another.
Regardless of the danger, the melee soldiers rushed to the joints of the ancient monster and chopped them fiercely with the weapons in their hands.
The archers also tried their best to shoot dense arrows at the right eye of the ancient monster again.
Under the joint attack of everyone, the ancient monster gradually lost its strength.
Its right eye was also shot by a sharp arrow, and its movements became slow.
At this time, Li Suqiang supported his injured body and stood up again.
He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and his eyes revealed an unshakable belief.
He rushed towards the ancient monster again, waving the sword in his hand with complex sword moves.
Each move accurately landed on the vital parts of the ancient monster, leaving deep wounds on its body.
Although the ancient monster fought hard, its strength gradually weakened due to its serious injuries.
Finally, Li Su gathered all his strength and delivered a fatal blow.
His sword pierced deeply into the heart of the ancient monster, and a powerful energy burst out from the contact point between the blade and the monster's body.
The ancient monster let out a last unwilling roar, and its huge body fell to the ground with a bang, raising dust all over the sky.
The battlefield was suddenly silent, and then cheers broke out.
But at this moment, at the node of the sealed town, endless demons emerged like a tide.

"Finally, we are going out."
Fang Yue looked at the golden disc in the center of the hall, with a gleam of expectation in his eyes.
He and the fox girl had gone through hardships all the way, and now this disc seemed 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 have to restore the statues to a specific posture before the disc will start."
Fang Yue nodded, and the two began to observe the statues around the disc.
These statues are lifelike, with monsters with animal heads and human bodies baring their fangs and claws, and statues of gods with solemn appearances.
Fang Yue tried to push the arm of a statue with animal heads and human bodies, and found that the statue was unusually heavy, but with his full strength, the statue's arm was slowly moved a little.
At the same time, some symbols on the disc flickered.
"There is a response!" Fang Yue shouted.
The fox girl also began to cast a spell, controlling the magic weapon in the hand of a god statue, and let it slowly move to the right position.
As they adjusted the statues, the light on the disc became brighter and brighter, and the frequency of the symbols flashing became faster and faster.
Finally, a door appeared in front.
Fang Yue and the fox girl looked at each other and saw joy in each other's eyes. They speeded up and continued to adjust the remaining statues.
The fox girl danced with her hands, and colorful lights flew out of her hands, wrapped around the statues, and gently pushed the statues' limbs.
Fang Yue used the support of the spear to do his best to move those extremely heavy statue parts.
As the last statue was adjusted to the right position, the light on the disc shot up into the sky, illuminating the entire hall like daylight.
The portal became clearer, and a familiar breath came from the portal, as if it led to the land of freedom they longed for.
"Go!"
Fang Yue pulled the fox girl and ran towards the portal.
Just as 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 figures flickered in the smoke.
These figures gradually condensed into some small demons, and they rushed towards Fang Yue and the fox girl with their fangs and claws.
"No time!"
Fang Yue shouted, and waved the spear in his hand into a light curtain, repelling the demons that rushed towards him. (End of this chapter)
