Chapter 515 Ancient Demon
In the northern demon world, in the Ten Thousand Demon Cave.
This was originally the lair of the three-headed snake monster, the great demon king of the demon clan.
At this moment, the demonic energy was surging, and the black smoke rolled like an angry dragon, constantly pouring out of the cave and spreading in all directions.
The demonic energy contained a frightening power. Wherever it went, the flowers and plants withered instantly, and even the surrounding rocks had cracks.
"My king, these demonic energies are eroding us. If we don't find a way to resist it, I'm afraid we will all become puppets of this demonic energy."
A thin but smart-eyed snake demon trembled and said. Part of his body had been stained with black lines by the demonic energy, and he was trying to use his demonic power to resist.
The three-headed snake demon frowned and looked around at the demon clan companions around him who also looked painful.
He could feel the three-headed snake demon frowning and looking around at the demon clan companions around him who also looked painful. The power and evil of the demonic energy far exceeded his imagination, and their resistance was as fragile as a mantis trying to stop a chariot.
"Everyone, retreat first! This demonic energy is too strong. We are not opponents for now." The three-headed snake demon roared, and the sound echoed in the cave full of demonic energy.
The demons heard it, although they were unwilling, but they also knew that fighting hard at this time would only lead to death. They began to retreat outside the Ten Thousand Demons Cave under the cover of the three-headed snake demon.
The three-headed snake demon spewed out powerful demonic power from its mouth, forming a series of barriers, trying to block the pursuing demonic energy.
But the demonic energy was like a surging tide, hitting the barrier wave after wave, and every impact consumed a huge amount of the demonic power of the three-headed snake demon.
"Go!"
The three-headed snake demon urged his companions, but he was gradually unable to resist the demonic energy.
His three heads were a little sluggish, and the originally colorful scales became dull.
Some demons who moved a little slower were caught up by the demonic energy, and were instantly eroded. Their eyes became empty, and they turned and pounced on their companions.
Seeing this, the three-headed snake demon had a flash of grief and anger in his eyes. He swung his huge tail and knocked away the controlled demons, but more demonic energy took the opportunity to surge up.
"Damn it!"
The three-headed snake demon gritted his teeth and rushed out of the cave with the remaining demons.
They ran all the way, and the demonic energy behind them followed them like a shadow. There were demons who kept falling down due to exhaustion or being hit by the demonic energy.
After finally escaping from the Ten Thousand Demons Cave, the three-headed snake demon looked back and saw that a large area around the Ten Thousand Demons Cave had been shrouded by demonic energy, and black demonic light was rising into the sky!
The originally vibrant scene has now become dead silent.
"My king, what should we do now?" A seriously injured demon asked in a crying voice, his eyes full of fear and helplessness.
A trace of determination flashed in the eyes of the three-headed snake demon: "Let's go find several other demon kings first and discuss countermeasures together. This evil spirit is coming fiercely, and it is definitely not something our clan can resist."
So, the three-headed snake demon led the remaining demons to the nearest demon king's territory.
Along the way, they saw many demon villages invaded by evil spirits, houses collapsed, and the corpses of demons who were controlled by evil spirits and killed each other were everywhere, which was horrible.
When they approached the demon king's territory, they found that something was wrong here.
There were cracks in the protective barrier around the territory, and evil spirits continued to penetrate from it.
"No, this place is also under attack." The three-headed snake demon's heart sank.
They accelerated to enter the territory and found the demon king. The demon king was organizing his men to resist the evil spirit, and the situation was also very critical.
"Three heads, you are here. I don't know where this evil spirit came from. It's too fierce. My barrier can't hold up." The demon king said anxiously.
The three-headed snake demon looked solemn: "I came from the Ten Thousand Demons Cave, which is one of the sources of the demonic energy. We must unite and break the barrier to enter the human world, otherwise we will all die!"
The demon king heard this and a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes: "Entering the human world? This is not a trivial matter. Once the barrier is broken, the human race will not give up, and it may trigger a war between the two races."
The three-headed snake demon said anxiously: "Now I can't care about so much. If I don't do this, the demonic energy will swallow us all, and then there will be no demon world. It seems that what the mysterious lord said before is true. We must unite with those demon kings in the south to attack the human world."
Other demons heard this and started to discuss it.
Some agreed that this was the only chance for survival;
Just then, a stronger demonic energy impact came, and the protective barrier made a "clicking" sound, and the cracks became larger.
Some demons near the edge of the barrier were hit by the demonic energy and were instantly eroded, and began to attack their companions.
"There is no time to hesitate. Strengthen the barrier defense first. I will go to summon other demon kings!" The three-headed snake demon made a prompt decision.
Due to geographical reasons, the northern demons have always been relatively independent and have little contact with the southern demons, but in the face of the crisis at this moment, they have to try to unite.
The three-headed snake demon quickly rushed to the territory of other demon kings, anxious all the way. He knew that every second of delay would cause the barrier to completely collapse, and more demons would be swallowed by the devil's energy.
On the way, he encountered some scattered demon resistance forces. When these demons saw the three-headed snake demon, they surrounded him one after another, with a complex look of despair and hope in their eyes.
"My king, what should we do? Our homes are gone, and our people are..." A demon warrior burst into tears.
The three-headed snake demon looked at them and felt a sting in his heart: "Don't panic, everyone. I am gathering other demon kings to come up with a solution. Now go to a place protected by a barrier and wait for rescue."
The three-headed snake demon continued on its way and finally found several important demon kings. He explained in detail the situation of the Ten Thousand Monsters Cave, the barrier being attacked, and the terror of the demonic energy.
A demon king known for his wisdom frowned and said: "Breaking the barrier and entering the human world is indeed an extremely risky move. But if this is the plan of the mysterious lord, we have to consider it carefully. However, we have no regard for him The intention is not entirely clear.”
Another brave demon king said loudly: "No matter what, it is important to save the lives of our demon clan first. If we really want to attack the human world, we must be prepared and cannot act blindly, otherwise we may fall into a desperate situation where we are attacked from both sides. ”
The three-headed snake demon nodded: "Yes, we will unite to strengthen the barrier first, and at the same time send people to investigate the details of the mysterious lord. If you decide to enter the human world, you must also try to communicate with humans and try to avoid war."
After the demon kings reached a consensus, they began to take action.
They led their men towards the Demon Soul Valley, where the twelve major demon clans in the north gathered.
Demon Soul Valley, located in the hinterland of the northern demon world, is an ancient and mysterious place.
This place not only has beautiful scenery, but is also the resting place of many heroes in the history of the Yao clan, so it has been endowed with a strong legendary color.
Whenever the demon clan faces a major crisis, the Demon Soul Valley will become a place where the demon clan unites as one and discusses major plans.
With the arrival of the three-headed snake demon and other demon kings, Demon Soul Valley quickly gathered representatives of the twelve major demon clans from the north.
In the Demon Soul Valley, the atmosphere was as solemn as a volcano about to erupt.
Representatives of the twelve major demon clans sat together, each with a solemn look on his face, worry and determination in his eyes.
The three-headed snake demon spoke first, detailing the outbreak of demonic energy in the Ten Thousand Demons Cave, the damage to the barrier, and the situation related to the mysterious Lord.
After the words fell, the scene fell into silence, except for the howling wind that seemed to be mourning the fate of the demon clan.
A gray-haired old demon king said slowly: "Invading the human world is a step we have never thought of. The risks involved are too great. But now that the demonic energy is raging, we are indeed at the end of our rope."
"But we know nothing about that mysterious Lord. If we are used by him, our northern demon clan will be in doom." A stern-faced banshee king frowned.
After all, they had never heard of this Lord before.
Suddenly appeared in the southern demon world and became the leader of the southern demon alliance.
"Indeed, this mysterious lord appeared so strangely that he could become the leader of the Southern Demon Alliance in a short period of time. There may be an unknown conspiracy behind it."
The burly Mountain-Shaking Demon King frowned and said, his fists clenched unconsciously, and a trace of vigilance flashed in his eyes.
The brave Bull Demon King stood up and paced back and forth: "No matter what, our top priority now is to solve the problem of this demonic energy first.
If you really want to consider attacking the human world, you must first understand the purpose of this mysterious lord. You must not blindly follow his arrangements and let our northern demon tribe become his pawn. "
The wise demon king nodded in agreement: "Yes, we have to take a two-pronged approach. On the one hand, we continue to send people to strengthen the barrier and slow down the spread of the evil spirit. On the other hand, we need to contact him, and at the same time, the wild demon sends people to investigate the demon's origins. Details."
All the demon kings agreed one after another and began to arrange various matters immediately.
~~~~~~
At the same time, Fang Yue also came to the north of the demon world.
He was shocked when he looked at the messy scene in front of him that was shrouded in demonic energy.
Along the way, he saw countless monsters being killed by demonic energy, and his hatred for this demonic energy grew even more in his heart.
Fang Yue knew that there must be a conspiracy behind all this, and the conspiracy might be more complicated than he imagined.
Demonic energy broke out in the demon world, and ancient demon generals and ancient demons resurrected one after another.
The already harsh living environment in the demon world has become even more difficult.
Therefore, some violent demon kings among the demon clan want to break the seal between the human and demon worlds and occupy the human world.
Fang Yue frowned, knowing that once these demon kings' ideas were implemented, the consequences would be disastrous.
We must find a way to delay the actions of these monsters.
Three days later, Fang Yue arrived at a demon city between the northern demon world and the southern demon world.
Three days later, Fang Yue arrived at a demon city between the northern demon world and the southern demon world. This demon city is also very lively on weekdays and is one of the important hubs for exchanges between the northern and southern demon clans. But at this moment, there is a tense and depressing atmosphere in the city. The monsters on the streets are walking in a hurry, their eyes full of fear and uneasiness.
After Fang Yue entered the city, he asked around for news about the mysterious Lord. He came to a tavern where monsters usually gathered to chat, hoping to get some useful clues from here. The monsters in the tavern were discussing the current situation in low voices. When they saw Fang Yue, a strange face coming in, they all cast wary glances.
Fang Yue found a corner to sit down, ordered a bottle of wine, and then raised his ears to listen to what was going on around him. After a while, he heard the demon clan at the table next to him mention the mysterious lord.
"Have you heard? The mysterious Lord has been acting frequently recently. I don't know what he wants to do." A monster with antlers said in a low voice.
"Hmph, I don't think he has good intentions. Since he appeared, the demon world has never been peaceful. First, the demonic energy broke out, and now he is instigating to break the seal between the human and demon worlds. Isn't this pushing our northern demon tribe into the fire pit?" Another demon tribe responded angrily.
Fang Yue's heart moved, pretending to approach casually and asked: "Brothers, I came from another place and don't know much about this matter. Who is this mysterious lord?"
The demon tribe looked at Fang Yue and saw that he was sincere, so they relaxed their vigilance. The deer horn demon tribe said: "This lord, his origin is unknown, he suddenly appeared, and he became the leader of the Southern Demon Alliance. It is said that he is followed by a group of powerful subordinates, all of whom exude an evil spirit."
"Also, I heard that he is looking for something important, which seems to be related to the outbreak of demonic energy. I don't know the details." Another demon tribe added.
After Fang Yue thanked them, he was shocked.
The lord had clearly died in his hands the last time he entered the demon world, so how could another lord appear!
Fang Yue was full of doubts. Was it someone who deliberately disguised himself as the lord, or was there a more complicated reason?
For example, evil magic such as resurrection.
Or, was the lord not really dead last time?
He decided to continue his search and not let this conspiracy that could destroy the demon world and the human world succeed.
After Fang Yue left the tavern, he was thinking about the next action plan.
After Fang Yue left the tavern, he went straight to the intelligence agency of the demon world. The intelligence agency is located in a remote corner of the demon city. It seems inconspicuous on weekdays, but in fact it is one of the most well-informed places in the entire demon world. Many secrets can be found here.
When Fang Yue arrived at the door of the intelligence agency, he saw that the door was closed and there was a mysterious atmosphere around it, as if warning outsiders not to approach easily. Fang Yue took a deep breath and knocked on the door.
After a while, the door slowly opened, and a thin but sharp-eyed demon poked his head out and looked Fang Yue up and down.
"Why are you here?" the demon asked coldly.
Fang Yue hurriedly stated his purpose: "I want to find out something about the mysterious lord. The situation in the demon world is critical now, and this matter is of great importance. I hope you can help me."
The demon frowned slightly after hearing this, and after a moment of silence, he stepped aside to let Fang Yue in.
Entering the house, Fang Yue found that it was quite messy, with various scrolls and parchments placed randomly, and some maps of various places of the demon clan hanging on the wall, marked with some strange symbols and marks.
"What do you want to know, just tell me quickly, but the news here is not cheap." The demon said while looking for something in a pile of scrolls. (End of this chapter)
