Yang Hong supported his knees with both hands, and even the Black Eyebrow Sword, which he always regarded as a treasure, was inserted aside.
He gasped and said.
"Your Majesty, I can't stand it any longer. I really can't hold on any longer."
Even though there was a golden bell shared by Zhou Shu, it was not obtained by his own cultivation after all. After fighting for a whole day, his whole body was so tired that he was a little numb.
Although he knew that this was Zhou Shu's opportunity for him to perform meritorious service, he didn't want to kill him now. He just wanted to lie down.
"Man, how can you say no."
Zhou Shu said calmly.
On this day, he took Yang Hong walking in the Zhuling Cave. Whenever he saw a monster, he would throw Yang Hong out to kill the monster.
Sometimes, when there were human troops encircling and suppressing monsters, Zhou Shu would ask them to stop and give the monsters to Yang Hong to kill.
Even some monsters that were too powerful for Yang Hong to deal with would be kicked over by Zhou Shu, and then let him kill them with the Black Eyebrow Sword.
This process is both happy and painful for Yang Hong.
After all, Yang Hong himself doesn't know what to do with his military achievements after killing so many monsters in the Ten Kingdoms Military Performance.
After I go back, I want to be promoted to the third level. Is that okay?
But this process is also very painful.
Even though he has a golden bell to protect his body, it is not that easy to fight monsters. Not only is he tired, but he also feels pain after being hit.
If others knew that Yang Hong thought this way, they would definitely spit in his face.
The prince personally took him to achieve military merit, and he actually still had objections!
Isn’t this how you behave when you get a bargain?
"Your Majesty, I really can't do it anymore."
Yang Hongdao, "If this continues, I will really be exhausted."
"Forget it, go back to the camp by yourself."
Before he finished speaking, Zhou Shu had disappeared.
Yang Hong opened his mouth.
Where is this place and how far is it from the camp?
I'm so tired now that I can hardly lift my fingers. I don't have the skills that the prince shared. If I encounter a monster, isn't it a dead end?
Yang Hong looked around without tears, and the hairs all over his body stood up.
Of course Zhou Shu didn't leave Yang Hong in a dangerous place. There are no monsters around here.
Even within the Zhuling Cave, there are not many monsters left.
The rest are already harmless.
For example, there are many miner monsters with different monsters, and another example is Yao Qing who failed to retreat and had to continue to cooperate with Zhou Shu.
The main force of the million demon army has been sent back to the demon world, and the demon beasts still in Zhuling Cave have been wiped out by the human army these days.
Under this situation, there is no danger in Zhuling Cave.
Zhou Shu still has things to do, so he will naturally not send Yang Hong back to the camp.
After a few breaths, Zhou Shu had arrived at the bloody vortex guarded by Meng Bai.
The blood-colored vortex still has a radius of about one foot, with a black hole-like center filled with lightning, and you can faintly see the scenery belonging to the demon world inside.
"King of Zhennan."
Meng Bai said hello.
"General, things have changed, and our plans must also change."
Zhou Shu said straight to the point.
"Things have changed?"
Meng Bai's face became solemn and he said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, please tell me."
"This world will completely collapse in three months at most. At that time, everything here will be destroyed. Before that, we must leave here."
Zhou Shu did not beat around the bush and said directly.
"What?"
Meng Bai was shocked, and he subconsciously looked at the bloody whirlpool.
There are still more than a year or two before the Ten Kingdoms Martial Arts Arena can be reopened. If you leave this world within three months, you can only pass here...
In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through Meng Bai's mind.
He even completed a tactical deduction!
As a result, the ten-nation coalition was completely annihilated!
Behind this passage is the demon world!
Once they pass, they will not only face the millions of monsters from before, but also the continuous reinforcements from the monsters.
Going deep into the demon world alone is no different than seeking death.
"Yes, this is the only way."
Zhou Shu nodded, confirming Meng Bai's idea.
"Now we can only take a detour to the demon world and then return to the Ten Kingdoms Continent."
"There is no other way."
Meng Bai stood on the spot, detouring around the demon world and returning to the Ten Kingdoms Continent. How easy was it?
"Your Majesty, there are only more than 90,000 people left in this world in total." Meng Bai said with a heavy expression, "That's 90,000 people, all of whom are capable of fighting, but after all, there are only 90,000." "When we go to the demon world, the enemies we face may be ten times or a hundred times greater!"
Meng Bai did not say these four words: hope is slim.
"So what?"
Zhou Shu said, "It's better than staying here and waiting to die."
"If you stay here, you will definitely die in three months. If you go to the demon world, there is still a glimmer of hope."
Meng Bai smiled bitterly, this glimmer of hope was too slim.
When they go to the Demon Realm, they still don’t know how to return to the Ten Kingdoms Continent. Will the Demon Realm give them a chance to find their way home?
"General, there is no room for negotiation on this matter. In the demon world, we have to go even if we go, and we have to go even if we don't."
Zhou Shu said in a deep voice, "What you have to do now is to prepare together with General Wang Mu and others!"
"I still have some Cangyun Armor here. You are responsible for who should equip it."
Zhou Shu waved his hand, and countless cangyun armors fell to the ground.
Meng Bai was dumbfounded. Even though he had long been used to Zhou Shu's pioneering feats from time to time, when he saw so many Cangyun Armors, he couldn't imagine how Zhou Shu forged them.
Are there probably thousands of these Cang Yun Armors?
Zhou Shu took a look at the passage leading to the demon world. Would you like to go there and use the Black Eyebrow Sword to kill more demon beasts and get more Cangyun Armor?
Immediately he also smiled bitterly and shook his head.
In the past, it was easy to slay demons, but a day on the outside takes a year on the inside.
There are only three months left in Zhuling Cave, which is three hours when converted to the outside.
If you get entangled by the demon army on the other side and delay a little bit, Zhuling Cave Heaven may be gone.
The army that stayed here was simply gone.
That would be putting the cart before the horse.
Speaking of which, the changes in Zhuling Cave Heaven disrupted all Zhou Shu’s previous plans.
Originally, there were still more than a year or two, so he could make preparations slowly.
But now there are less than three months left, and there is no time to do much.
After telling Meng Bai what had happened, Zhou Shu didn't delay at all. He once again used his magical power to leave no trace for thousands of miles and returned to the camp of the Huaxia Pavilion's branch of the Ten Kingdoms Martial Arts Battlefield.
Enter his own room and close the door.
Zhou Shu took out the Sword of Eternal Life.
After flicking the blade of the Eternal Life Sword with his finger, Zhou Shu said, "Old Shi, come out, I have something to tell you."
"Are all young people today so rude? Do you know how hateful it is to disturb someone's dream?"
Shi Changsheng's voice sounded within Zhou Shu's consciousness.
"Sorry, the situation is urgent, please forgive me, Mr. Shi."
Zhou Shu didn't care about his manipulation, but said.
"Forget it, tell me if you have anything to say."
As soon as Zhou Shu surrendered, Shi Changsheng felt uncomfortable all over. He even felt a little uneasy.
This guy doesn't seem to be such a polite person.
He's not holding anything back, right?
Thinking of this, Shi Changsheng took advantage of the slope to unload the donkey.
"Old Shi, I would like to ask, what is the relationship between the Ten Kingdoms Continent and the Demon Realm."
Zhou Shu said in a deep voice, "Why did your Zhuling Cave Heaven become a battlefield for martial arts performances by the Ten Kingdoms? Also, who created the isolation barrier between the Ten Kingdoms Continent and the Demon Realm?"
Originally, Zhou Shu planned to explore these things slowly.
But now, he doesn't have that time.
These things may be related to whether they can return to the Ten Kingdoms Continent from the demon world.
Shi Changsheng is a mature man. As soon as he heard Zhou Shu's words, he knew what Zhou Shu wanted to do.
"You haven't given up yet?"
Shi Changsheng said, "It's hopeless. As you said, the human race doesn't even have a strong person above the first level of martial arts. However, in the demon world, there is a demon king."
"I told you, if you encounter the Demon King, you and the Eternal Life Sword are only 30% sure of escaping unscathed."
"How powerful the demon king is, you can't even imagine it now."
"If a demon king wants to, it will be easy to kill an army of less than 100,000 people."
"In my opinion, each of you must survive and leave the mountains without worrying about having firewood. At worst, you can just avenge them when you become stronger in the future. This is the wisest choice."
"How I choose is my business."
Zhou Shu said in a deep voice, "Old Shi, you just need to tell me, what is the relationship between the Demon Realm and the Ten Kingdoms Continent? What is the barrier between the two realms?"
"Why don't you listen to my advice?"
Shi Changsheng said. "The Sword of Eternal Life is in your hand, and you and I are one. Can I still harm you?"
"Even if you know the relationship between the demon world and your so-called Ten Kingdoms Continent, what can you do?"
Shi Changsheng looked like he hated iron and said, "Let me tell you, the demon world and the Ten Kingdoms Continent are one and the same. The barrier between them is indeed man-made, but is it useful?"
"The demon wants to kill people, but you can't change it. Even your strength can't protect this human army."
"Young man, I have lived for so many years and have seen many more things than you. Listen to my advice. The best way is to be useful and avenge them in the future."
"The demon world and the Ten Kingdoms Continent are actually the same world?"
Zhou Shu ignored Shi Changsheng's persuasion and pondered, "The barrier between the two realms is man-made. Is it related to the Thirty-Six Caves?"
"The Zhuling Cave is one of them. Are there other caves in those two barriers?"
"If we can find other caves, can we use the way to return to the Ten Kingdoms Continent?"
Zhou Shu looked directly at Shi Changsheng and said word by word.
He knew that the barrier between the two realms had cracks due to the damage to the Zhenguo tripod.
But where the cracks are and how many people can pass through are all things that cannot be known.
And with such an obvious existence, the demon world must have already been controlled, and they may not have a chance to pass.
"You are really whimsical."
Shi Changsheng shook his head and said, "But you are wrong. The barrier between the two realms has nothing to do with the cave. The Zhuling cave connecting the two realms is just a coincidence and has nothing to do with the barrier itself."
"Half!"
Zhou Shu suddenly spoke, interrupting Shi Changsheng's words.
"What half?"
Shi Changsheng was stunned.
"As long as you help me, no matter whether it succeeds or not, from now on, half of the materials I have for making weapons will be yours!"
"If I guess correctly, you, or the Eternal Life Sword, either failed to cast it, or it is defective. In short, you need to consume a lot of weapon-casting materials to repair and improve yourself."
"If you help me find other caves, I promise you that I will try my best to help you find the materials you need to make weapons."
"You should understand that I have this strength!"
Shi Changsheng narrowed his eyes slightly, with a look of struggle on his face.
He should refuse decisively, but Zhou Shu gave too much!
These days, Shi Changsheng has carefully observed that Zhou Shu's identity is indeed as he said, the prince of the three kings, the first man in the ten countries, and the best weapons master in the world...
These identities can ensure that Zhou Shu can do what he promised him.
He does need a lot of weapons-making materials, and in his current form, he does need to be attached to a strong person.
But——
Shi Changsheng struggled for a moment and said with some distress, "It's not that I'm helping you, but it's useless."
"Not to mention whether those caves still exist, even if they exist, they are not that easy to find."
"The situation in the Zhuling Cave is quite special. It does not mean that every cave is like this. The cave is the private property of the owner of the cave. Even back then, I had not entered many caves, let alone now."
"I think that most of those caves in those days have been destroyed like the Zhuling Cave. If the owner of the cave dies, generally speaking, the cave will not exist for long."
Zhou Shu looked at Shi Changsheng, and his expression didn't seem to be fake.
He has already made such a condition, but he still refuses. Could it be that Dongzhen really has nothing to do with the barrier between the two realms?
Or is there something else hidden?
Regardless of the possibility, it seems impossible to seek a breakthrough from Shi Changsheng.
Then we can only think of a solution from another aspect.
Zhou Shu frowned. If possible, he really didn't want to use that method.
Zhuang Zhou’s dream of a butterfly!
Zhuang Zhou's Dream Butterfly Heart Technique is almost the most miraculous of all the magical powers that Zhou Shu knew, but every time he used it, Zhou Shu would feel as if he was alive and dead.
Experiencing another person's life in a dream may sound wonderful, but in fact, it is a huge challenge for the experiencer.
Just the change of identity is enough to cause a person to have a nervous breakdown.
Even though Zhou Shu had practiced the visualization of the true form of the Five Mountains and had an unusually strong spirit, the process was extremely uncomfortable for him.
Zhou Shu's eyes swept over Shi Changsheng, but it was a pity that his Zhuang Zhou's Dream Butterfly Mental Technique was not yet able to dream about objects. Otherwise, he might be able to learn many secrets by dreaming about the Sword of Immortality.
Shi Changsheng, I don’t know how many years he has lived.
Now, we can only hope that the dead great demon Yaolian can have a higher status in the demon world and know more secrets. Otherwise, we will really regret this hard work!
