"Travel together? I'm sorry, I'm afraid not. I'm looking for our human friends." Fang Yun said with a smile.
Fang Yun had heard of the name Dou Ji and knew a lot about him. As the most outstanding saint son of the younger generation of the two tribes of demons and barbarians, the human race has always paid extra attention to him.
Fang Yun said as he carefully observed the surrounding environment.
Apart from the stone walls on both sides, the road ahead and the fog in the sky, Fang Yun could not see anything, not even weeds or moss.
None of the friends who had entered the fifth corridor were there, and they were completely lost.
Dou Ji looked at Fang Yun, smiled slightly, showing a mouthful of sharp white dragon teeth, and said: "I'm going the same way as you."
"Brother Dou Ji, since you are the holy son of the demon clan, you must be very familiar with this Comet Corridor, right?" Fang Yun said as they walked.
Dou Ji followed behind Fang Yun and said, "I do know some things, but not much. For example, this fifth corridor is a maze."
"It really looks like a maze." Fang Yun said.
The man and the dragon said nothing more and walked forward silently.
Fang Yun didn't ask Dou Ji why he couldn't fly or climb mountains. This was actually a maze, so there must be a powerful force to restrain everyone.
After a while, Dou Ji said, "I see that you don't seem to know much about this Fifth Corridor. Haven't you heard the elders talk about this place?"
"I know very little about the Comet Corridor." Fang Yun said.
Dou Ji said: "Since you and I are on the same route, let me tell you about the fifth corridor. This fifth corridor is different from the other corridors. There are treasures and dangers in it."
"Dangerous?" Fang Yun said.
"Yes, there is an ancient demon imprisoned in here. As long as we don't touch the place where the ancient demon is, there will be basically no danger and we will eventually get out of the maze."
"Thank you, Brother Dou Ji, for telling me." Fang Yun said.
Dou Ji said with a grin, "You and I are both trapped in the maze, so we have to work together to get out. By the way, the environment of this maze is particularly suitable for the growth of longevity fruit. If you see longevity fruit, you can pick it. I don't want it. Longevity fruit is useless to us dragons."
"The Jiao Sheng Palace is indeed wealthy and powerful." Fang Yun said.
"Nothing, it's mutually beneficial."
Fang Yun said: "If I'm not mistaken, you have been preparing for this holy ruins for a long time. You can't be stumped by this fifth corridor, right? I don't believe that with the power of Jiao Sheng, you don't even have a map of this maze."
"Don't mention it! Didn't I say there is an ancient monster here? The power of that ancient monster will cause the maze to change frequently. Not to mention my father, even the Monster Ancestor doesn't know what changes will happen in the fifth corridor." Dou Ji's tone was extremely relaxed, and he didn't treat Fang Yun as an outsider at all.
"The maze changes? It seems that the ancient monster is extraordinary. I hope we can find a way out." Fang Yun said as he drew a simple map in the world of strange books, recording every section of the maze.
"You humans are better at using your brains than us demons. Do you have a way to leave the maze?" Dou Ji said.
"A maze has no fixed pattern, so how can there be a way to leave? To be honest, I have no idea at the moment." Fang Yun said.
"It doesn't matter. If you can take me out of the maze as soon as possible, I will persuade Long Ling to leave and not kill you. If you and I leave too late and Long Ling reaches the Seventh Corridor first or even becomes the King of Stars, then there will be nothing we can do." Dou Ji said helplessly.
Fang Yun said as he walked: "Brother Dou Ji, I know nothing about this fifth corridor. Since you want to get out of the maze, you might as well be frank and tell me everything you know about the fifth corridor so that I can have some reference. Maybe I can find a clue to leave because of what you said."
Dou Ji frowned and thought for a long time before saying, "There are many legends about the Comet Corridor among the demons. Some are true and some are false and have been circulating for thousands of years. It is difficult to determine. How about this. Let's talk as we walk. Maybe we can find some clues."
So, a man and a dragon walked in the maze. The man walked in front and listened, and the dragon walked behind and talked.
"I heard from a demon king that this comet corridor has a great secret, which is very important. The demon ancestor attaches great importance to it. The reason why he uses it to test demon generals is to conceal the demons' ears and eyes..."
"It is said that a total of seven Star Kings appeared in the Comet Corridor. Except for the unlucky Kong Family Dragon who died, the Demon King and... that one were still young. The other four Star Kings all became disciples of the Demon Ancestor and were successfully canonized in the end."
"But there are also demons who say that the Comet Corridor is a cover, and that the Star King's Throne is the real treasure, and that is the power bestowed by the Demon Ancestor. The Comet Corridor itself does not actually have much power..."
"The Demon Ancestor was the Star Demon Barbarian, but many of his disciples became Blood Demon Barbarians. It was one of the Demon Ancestor's disciples who helped King Zhou of Shang build Chaoge City. Do you remember the Great Sage who was killed by Confucius? He was the disciple of the Demon Ancestor. It was said that he attacked the human race because of a big secret. Unfortunately, he was killed and eaten by Confucius. His meat must be delicious."
Fang Yun listened carefully. Dou Ji was not at all like the extremely ferocious son of the Dragon Saint as rumored. Instead, he seemed like a chatterbox.
As they were walking, a huge black tiger almost as tall as Fang Yun came running towards them. Both sides were stunned and stopped at the same time.
Fang Yun recognized this tiger demon. When they first entered the fourth corridor, this tiger demon saint was just half a mile from the end of the bridge. In the end, it successfully passed the fourth corridor at the cost of one front leg. However, the tiger demon saint's front leg was intact at this moment, and there was no sign of injury at all.
The Tiger Demon Saint saw that Fang Yun had not changed at all, but after seeing Dou Ji, a flash of fear flashed in his eyes, and then he lowered his head slightly and said, "You are here too?"
Dou Ji laughed and said, "Hu An, you didn't find the exit either?"
Hu An said with a sad face: "I have been confused. I clearly remember the way, but when I reached a dead end and turned back, I found that the road had changed!"
"You discovered it too?" The smile on Dou Ji's face disappeared.
"Yes, I suspect that this maze is constantly changing. Do you think it might be the stone lions that are causing trouble?"
Fang Yun shook his head. The possibility of the stone lion playing tricks was too small, so small that it could be ignored.
"What else have you discovered?" Fang Yun brought the topic back to the main topic.
Hu An thought for a moment and said, "I have smelled the scents of several familiar demon tribes. I wanted to follow the scents, but their scents always led me to a dead end. It was very strange. Our elders from the Tiger tribe who have been to the Comet Corridor talked about the Fifth Corridor. It is completely different from the situation here."
"What changes have taken place in the fifth corridor?" Fang Yun asked.
"I don't know either. What should I do?" Dou Ji looked at Fang Yun.
Fang Yun shook his head, then looked at Hu An's claws and felt a familiar breath.
Suddenly, the ground shook, the mountain wall swayed, Fang Yun was unstable and hurriedly held onto the stone wall. As a result, the stone wall suddenly softened and then turned into a huge black vortex, forming a huge suction force that sucked Fang Yun in.
"Not good!" Dou Ji and Hu An ran away at the same time, but the suction force was extremely strong, and as a result, the two demons were sucked into the mountain wall just like Fang Yun.
"Damn 'Fu Yue'!" Dou Ji suddenly cursed at the end.
Fang Yun felt that his body was surrounded by something sticky like glue. This unknown substance emitted a pungent odor. At the same time, he could not open his eyes as they were completely blocked by the sticky substance.
Then, Fang Yun felt his body falling from mid-air.
Plop…
Fang Yun realized that he had fallen into the water, but then a familiar yet cold chill rushed into his body and hit his palace. This chill was so violent that it seemed as if it could completely freeze him to death in the next moment.
"It's the chill of a comet that's dozens of times stronger than the chill of Falling Star Bridge!" After Fang Yun made his judgment, he found that the sticky substance wrapped around him seemed to be dissolved by the water. So he suddenly opened his eyes and found himself in an icy river. He hurriedly used his literary power to protect his body and quickly got ashore.
Fang Yun discovered that although he had the ability to control water, he could not control the river water.
The river water is also different. It is not transparent, but a silver liquid like mercury.
Fang Yun got on the shore, and the silver river water on the surface of his body immediately turned into silver ice. The ice seemed very thin, but it seemed to be able to freeze everything. Fang Yun's literary courage was about to enter the second realm, and the powerful literary courage was released, shattering the ice on his body.
The ice chips scattered everywhere, sparkling with silver light, which was extremely beautiful. Then a strange scene appeared. All the ice chips turned into silver water droplets and flowed back into the river.
Plop! Plop!
Fang Yun saw Dou Ji and Hu'an fall into the river. The dragon and the tiger were both emitting blazing blood and flames, and they rushed to the shore shouting.
Fang Yun looked at the two frightened demons and asked with a smile: "Brother Dou Ji, what is 'Fu Yue'?"
A hint of darkness flashed across Dou Ji's eyes, and then they returned to normal.
"I told you that there is an ancient demon in this fifth corridor. To be precise, it is the son of an ancient demon, and it has been imprisoned here since it was very young. This ancient demon is 'Fu Yue', and it is said that the strongest Fu Yue can carry a star on its back and travel across the world. However, Fu Yue is very rare, even rarer than your Mist Butterfly." Dou Ji glanced at Fang Yun's chest while speaking, where Mist Butterfly was sleeping soundly.
Fang Yun nodded and said nothing.
"The Demon Ancestor seemed to need Fu Yue to do something, but Fu Yue believed that the Demon Ancestor had killed his parents, so he would rather die than obey. As a result, he was thrown into the Comet Corridor by the Demon Ancestor, suffering from the chill of the comet. This was nothing, but the problem was that the Demon Ancestor had disappeared for a long time, and Fu Yue had been suppressed for who knows how many years. Because the Demon Ancestor did not allow him to practice, he often slept for hundreds of years. However, Fu Yue is an ancient demon after all. Even if he never practiced, after thousands of years he already had the strength of a great demon king, and the next step would be a demon saint."
Fang Yun said: "You mean, it was Fu Yue who sucked us here? What is this place?"
Dou Ji looked around and said, "This seems to be the underground of the fifth corridor. It may be the place where the demon ancestor suppressed Fu Yue."
Fang Yun looked at the silver river water and asked, "Brother Dou Ji, what is this silver river water?"
Douji shook his head.
Fang Yun looked at Hu An, and the Tiger Demon Saint also shook his head.
Fang Yun didn't expect that the two monsters knew nothing about anything, so he could only think of a solution while looking around.
It was very dark here, but Fang Yun could see everything clearly thanks to the power of his clear night vision.
This is a passage, about 20 meters wide and 3 meters high, with no end in sight. Except for a strange silver river flowing slowly, there is nothing special about it. (To be continued...)
