Everywhere they looked seemed to be stained with thick ink, with almost no light visible. Only the three groups of spiritual fire left by the giant python were swaying, leading them towards the direction of the Nine Layers Demonic Palace.
Gu Qingling and others walked for several hours, and finally saw a magnificent and continuous huge building not far away. Compared with the darkness outside, many places in the Demon Palace were hung with torches, burning large groups of spiritual fires.
.
Gu Tan's tense heart suddenly relaxed. She breathed a sigh of relief and said: "It seems that there is still light in the Nine Layers Demon Palace. What a ghost. The demon world is really strange. It's dark when it's dark."
Jiang Yanzhou nodded, turned and stretched out his hand towards Gu Qingling, "Ling'er, are you tired? The road down there is difficult, I can carry you on my back."
Although he is a few years younger than Gu Tan, Jiang Yanzhou was the one who identified the direction and was wary of the surrounding monsters along the way, and acted more mature than Gu Tan.
But Gu Qingling didn't like others to take too much care of herself. She patted Jiang Yanzhou's palm and smiled softly: "No need! It's not just mountain climbing. I'm an expert at mountain climbing!"
After a short rest, the three of them set off again under the leadership of Ling Huo. They decided to rush to the Demon Palace in one go and not stop to rest midway.
The entrance to the Demon Palace is set up in a canyon, with cliffs on both sides. Looking up, you can only see a trace of the dark blue sky, giving people a strong sense of oppression.
However, as Gu Qingling walked along, she found that the floor tiles in front of the entrance of the Demon Palace were broken, and several dry vines were climbing on the surrounding pillars. There was a bleak and desolate feeling everywhere.
It seems that just as the python said, the Demon Lord has been sleeping for a long time in the past few hundred years, and the Demon Palace has also lost all operational capabilities and became an abandoned city.
Gu Qingling couldn't help but worry: "Brother Yanzhou, this place is so desolate, can we really find Tengxiao Tu?"
Without waiting for Jiang Yanzhou to answer, Gu Tan beside him sighed, raised his hand and rubbed the center of his brow, and said in a deep voice: "Even if we really find Tengxiao Tu, we still don't have the spiritual power to activate... Now we can only take one step at a time.
Gu Qingling said: "Don't be afraid. Let's keep going forward, just like Sister Gu Tan said, just take one step at a time."
The three of them continued deeper along the main entrance of the Demon Palace, and the desolate and desolate atmosphere became more serious. Fortunately, the torches in this place were still on, so they didn't need to be blinded.
"This place is so big, I guess it will be difficult for us to find the Tengxiao map for a while." Jiang Yanzhou looked around and said helplessly: "Let's find a safe place to rest first, and wait until tomorrow——"
At this point, Jiang Yanzhou's tone suddenly paused, because he realized that there is probably no such thing as dawn in the current demon world.
So he changed his mind and said: "When we have a good rest, we will set off together to find Tengxiao Tu!"
None of them had objections. They found a relatively clean hall and slipped in, sitting in a circle around the three spiritual fires. Gu Tan took out the fruits he had prepared before and gave two to each person.
She opened her mouth wide and took a bite, looking very melancholy: "This is the first time I miss the food in the Lushumen canteen so much. I have been eating fruit these past few days and I really want to vomit."
Gu Qingling deeply agreed, but her cheeks were stuffed full of fruit pulp, and she didn't seem tired of it at all.
"Just be patient, there are very few fruit trees near the Demon Palace. If we can't find a way out, we can only find a way to hunt a few monsters to eat..." Jiang Yanzhou rubbed the Wen Tian Bead in his hand with a confused look on his face.
Somewhat melancholy.
Split Sky next to him was very happy: "That's just right! You eat meat and I eat pills, and neither of us wastes anything."
Gu Qinglin pressed Huitian to the ground depressedly, hugging her knees and staring at the spiritual fire in a daze. At this time, she suddenly heard gusts of wind coming from not far away, and she was whimpering. At first she thought it was someone talking.
What?
However, why does the wind blow here in the canyon?
The next second, Jiang Yanzhou stood up suddenly, took off his outer robe and covered the three spiritual fires. The only light source in the hall disappeared, the surrounding area fell into darkness, and silence spread wantonly.
Gu Tan and Gu Qingling both tacitly agreed not to make a sound. Because just now, they realized that what they heard was not the sound of wind, but someone talking in a low voice!
Jiang Yanzhou said in a very soft voice: "You guys wait, I'll go over and take a look."
Gu Qingling felt the wind blowing, the sound of Jiang Yanzhou passing by. After about a cup of tea, the sound of conversation became farther and farther away, and finally disappeared completely. Jiang Yanzhou also walked back quickly, grabbed the robe covered with spiritual fire,
The cold firelight illuminated his face.
"If I'm not mistaken, the two people who just spoke are human beings..." Jiang Yanzhou frowned. He didn't think it would be a good thing to see human beings here, not to mention those two people were sneaky.<
/p>
Gu Tan said: "What are they discussing?"
Jiang Yanzhou: "We were too far away, so I couldn't hear clearly. But they seemed to mention something called Puppet Yanjia."
Gu Qingling originally shrank to the side and listened silently, but when these four words came out, she was startled for a moment, then her eyes widened and she covered her mouth in surprise.
"Yanjia Puppet? Is it the one that Fifth Brother gave me before?"
The two of them turned to look at her, and Jiang Yanzhou said, "You know? What on earth is that?"
Gu Qingling scratched her head, revealing a small section of her pale wrist with a red rope wrapped around it. Because her spiritual power was suppressed, the red rope was dim and looked gray.
She explained: "It's a puppet that my fourth brother gave me before. It's very powerful. I released it when I was outside. Could it be that it was also involved with us?"
Gu Tan said: "It is not impossible that your aura is on the Yanjia. Moreover, the location where we appeared was random. In other words, your Yanjia appeared in the Nine Layers Demon Palace, and was then given away by the two people just now.
Did you get it?"
Gu Qingling recalled what the fifth brother said: "The fourth brother said that the puppet Yanjia has recognized its master with blood and will rush to my side at any time. Those people should not be able to control it."
At this time, Jiang Yanzhou suddenly said: "That's right! Judging from the tone, they seem to be annoyed by this puppet Yan Jia and plan to dismantle it forcibly."
Forcibly dismantling it? How could it be possible? That was a gift personally given to me by my fourth brother!
Gu Qingling's hair almost exploded immediately. She couldn't help but pick up Huitian and rushed out. Fortunately, Gu Tan quickly caught her with quick eyes and hands.
"Little junior sister, don't be so impulsive! I saw your armor, it's all made of good materials, they won't be able to take it off for a while!"
