"Huh? Is this over?"
Mu Yu and Qiao Xue looked at each other, neither of them expected that Xiao Shuai would succeed in trying it. The two of them didn't take it seriously when this guy failed at first, but he passed easily.
Xiaoshuai was gesturing to them on the other side of the barrier, opening and closing his mouth as if he was saying something. It's a pity that Xiaoshuai's voice couldn't be heard, as the barrier blocked his voice.
"I just like such clean and neat levels! Fighting and killing is so boring!" Mu Yu muttered seriously, and then walked towards the barrier.
This barrier was surprising. I thought I had to deal with some weird monster, but it turned out that the way to pass it was so simple.
Mu Yu shrugged. When he tried just now, he was always ready to fight, so he was blocked by the barrier. And he had no purpose in coming here, he just wanted to get out as soon as possible, so it was easy to get rid of the distracting thoughts in his mind. He closed his eyes, bypassed Qiao Xue's blue ribbon, and then walked toward the barrier calmly. This time the barrier didn't stop him anymore, Mu Yu felt like he was walking through warm water, his whole body was warm without any discomfort.
As soon as he passed through, Xiaoshuai's voice suddenly appeared in his ears. He knew that he should have succeeded. When he opened his eyes, he found that he was still in a passage. He turned around and looked at the barrier behind him, and found that the barrier was not so dazzling, and Qiao Xue could still be vaguely seen on the other side of the barrier.
"Weren't there two fish here just now? Why are they missing?" Mu Yu looked around. He thought he was going to have a fight with the fish demon!
Xiaoshuai flicked his big tail and said: "The little fish are not here at all. They just cast their shadows on the barrier. I just heard them vaguely saying that it is raining outside. It seems to be fine that way. Happy."
"It's raining? What's so happy about raining?" Although he thought this thing was a bit weird, it was a problem if it saved him. He turned around and waved to Qiao Xue, signaling Qiao Xue to come over quickly.
It took Qiao Xue several attempts to pass this barrier. It seemed a bit difficult for her to have no distracting thoughts, and she didn't know what she was thinking. Qiao Xue gave Mu Yu a strange feeling. She seemed to know everything, and she seemed to have come with some purpose. She also knew the demon clan of the second heaven very well, she could even read demon texts, and she also knew how to sacrifice. Kind of weird thing.
Mu Yu was not a fool. He had long felt that something was wrong with Qiao Xue, but he did not point it out. The two of them looked at the passage, and after confirming that there was no danger, they continued to move forward. There were stairs going down in the passage, and they were still spiraling downwards. They were heading deeper. After walking for a short distance, the passage became flat again, and then the vision suddenly became brighter.
Mu Yu and Qiao Xue walked to the end of the passage and came to an underground palace. But as soon as they saw the scene in front of them, the two of them almost jumped up. Because after they walked out of the passage, they were stared at by hundreds of eyes. There were actually many demon tribesmen standing in front of them!
"Did you poke the monster clan's nest?" The handsome little monster yelled and got into Mu Yu's clothes.
"Sorry, we were just passing by the soy sauce shop, we didn't mean to barge in."
Mu Yu's Shadow Sword was already in front of him, and Qiao Xue's blue ribbon was also surrounding him, everyone was on alert. The demon people have a great prejudice against the human race. Although it is not as bad as the bad relationship between the Yumen demon clan and the human race, it is almost the same. There are countless numbers of these demon tribesmen. If they charge over, it will probably be another fierce battle. Whether they can escape is a question.
No one answered them, no one from the demon tribe even spoke. All the demon tribesmen just stared at them.
"Eh? So harmonious?" Mu Yu muttered, he likes the harmonious way of getting along with each other best.
But they soon realized that something was wrong. The demon clan had long since disappeared in the second heaven. It was obviously unreasonable to see so many demon clan under the ground. They found that these monsters were just staring at the entrance of the passage, but did not move or make any sound. Mu Yu glanced around and found that several monsters were missing arms and legs. Upon closer inspection, they turned out to be statues!
"Why are there so many statues? Are they scary? Well, you succeeded in scaring me." Mu Yu breathed a sigh of relief, but still did not put away the Shadow Splitting Sword. The two walked over cautiously and looked around.
This is a huge underground cave. The cave is several hundred meters high. There are uneven stone platforms extending on the surrounding walls. There are all kinds of monsters and monsters standing densely, and they are lifelike. There are thousands of statues on the wall.
Facing the entrance of the passage are layers of steps paved with real gold. Each step is two meters wide, and there are monsters of different shapes standing on both sides. These monsters look like humans, but they look more ferocious, and some parts of their bodies still retain the characteristics of monsters, such as wings or horns. These monsters were so lifelike that when Mu Yu saw them for the first time, he thought they were alive!
Looking around, there are about ninety-nine steps, and there are two statues of demon tribesmen standing on each step, nearly two hundred in total. At the top of the stairs is a throne carved from ruby. There is no statue of the Demon King sitting on the throne, but it is empty, which is a bit strange.
"This is the underground palace of the second-level demon clan. No wonder the Wild Wolf and Liu Ying who were chasing us stopped chasing us here. The demon clan is quite a deterrent to the monsters." Qiao Xue said happily.
"There are so many statues in the underground palace, are you busy?" Mu Yu curled his lips, thinking that he didn't know how long it would take to build such a statue. He stepped on the stairs, looked at the statues on both sides of the stairs, then reached out and poked it, and found that the texture of the clay sculpture was a bit soft, unlike ordinary clay sculptures.
However, Qiao Xue had already flown straight up and was standing next to the ruby throne. She reached out and touched the throne, showing a trace of confusion, and then looked towards the top of the cave, as if she was looking for something.
"The Demon King's throne is quite majestic." Mu Yu also flew up.
"Throne? Let me take a look." Xiao Shuai stuck his head out, jumped on the throne, leaned back on the chair, crossed his little legs, and shouted, "I love you!"
Mu Yu smiled knowingly. This guy was so small that the people sitting on the throne and below probably couldn't see it. He looked at the throne. The ruby throne was as moist as water and felt warm to the touch. There was no trace of dust on it, and there seemed to be a strange light shining faintly on it. It was indeed a good treasure.
"How come there isn't? It's strange." Qiao Xue searched every place on the throne, but it seemed she still couldn't find what she wanted.
"What are you looking for?" Mu Yu asked curiously.
Qiao Xue glanced at Mu Yu, hesitated for a while, and said: "It is said that the demon clan's underground palace in the second heaven enshrines the inner elixir of the White Ape Demon King, one of the ten demon kings. The ten demon kings are immortals in ancient times. They exist, they are the ancestors of the demon clan, they were sealed by our human race’s powerful power thousands of years ago, but the demon pill fell into the hands of the demon clan in the second heaven, don’t you know this?”
"White Ape Demon King? Why is it the White Ape Demon King again? Those ghost guys are also coming for the White Ape Demon King." Mu Yu muttered. When Kumu went to a plague village to treat people, he caught two disciples of the Ghost Sect. At that time, Kumu directly detained their souls for interrogation. They said that the Ghost Lord collected the souls of mortals in order to seize the Nine Formations. The target of the Nine Body Seizing Formations is the body of the White Ape Demon King.
"Who is here for the White Ape Demon King?" Qiao Xue asked warily.
Mu Yu said: "The ghost sect among your eight sects! They seem to be targeting the White Ape Demon King."
"Ghost Gate?" Qiao Xue thought of something and suddenly her face changed slightly. But after taking a look at Mu Yu, he returned to normal.
"We came to the Second Heaven with the mission of finding the White Ape Demon King's inner elixir. If we can find the demon clan's underground palace in the Second Heaven, we must find a way to bring the White Ape Demon King's inner elixir back to the Third Heaven." Qiao Xue further said explained.
Mu Yu didn't know this. Since Qiao Xue came from the Hongchen Sect, it was understandable to know this. He said: "I remember that the people from the Ghost Sect seemed to want to seize the body of the White Ape Demon King. For this purpose, they also collected many mortal human beings." The soul is used to perform the Nine Formations of Seizing the Body. You, the Red Dust Sect, want to bring back the inner elixir of the White Ape Demon King, but the Ghost Sect wants to seize the body of the White Ape Demon King, will there be a conflict between you?"
Qiao Xue frowned and said in a serious voice: "Really? People from the Ghost Sect want to seize the body of the White Ape Demon King?"
Mu Yu was no longer surprised by Guimen's ambition. They are a group of guys who will do whatever it takes to achieve their goals. Even the True Gods of the Third Level Continent dare to attack the Ghost Sect. Is there anything else they can't do
"With the Ghost Sect's methods, what they want is not the Demon King's body, but the Demon King's soul. For the world of cultivation, the Demon King's matter is of great importance, but it is not that the Ghost Sect can do anything without permission. We They must be stopped." Qiao Xue snorted coldly.
"I'm not interested in stopping them. I just want to find a place to get out."
Mu Yu doesn't have that much sense of right and wrong. Regardless of whether it's a ghost sect or a demon clan, the White Ape Demon King's incident has no greater impact on the world of cultivation than his saving his master. He just wanted to find herbs in the Second Heaven and go back to save his master, that's all.
Qiao Xue has already begun to search the entire underground palace. The underground palace is so big that it is quite difficult to search. Mu Yu is not interested in the Demon King's inner elixir. He is more concerned about how to get out of this underground palace. If he can't find the exit, it will be useless even if he gives him the inner elixir.
"Where in the underground palace will the demon king's inner elixir be?" Qiao Xue spent more than an hour and still couldn't find the inner elixir. Although she was a little disappointed, it was also within her expectation. If the demon clan would take such a precious It's weird if things are thrown around.
"Where will the exit be?"
Mu Yu also found nothing. He knocked everywhere on the wall, looking for hidden mechanisms. However, contrary to expectations, he could not find any exit from the huge underground palace except the entrance passage.
During this process, after hearing Qiao Xue's words, the little handsome boy who had been clamoring for jelly beans suddenly became surprisingly quiet. He lay quietly on Mu Yu's shoulder without even a single complaint. It's not like Xiaoshuai's style.
Xiaoshuai's abnormality caught Mu Yu's attention. He tilted his head and asked, "Xiaoshuai, why don't you say anything?"
Xiaoshuai looked at Qiao Xue who was standing on the stone wall in mid-air, and suddenly whispered: "I know where the jelly beans are."
