In the desolate and dilapidated wasteland, Layla walked slowly along the black gravel road.
She wanted to find the location of the space magic circle, but the space here was not small and quite strange. Running around was obviously not a wise choice.
So she chose to walk along the gravel path. The path clearly looked like it was not man-made, and the space array was not man-made either.
If you go east along that road, you might be able to find the Dongluo of the Space Array.
As Layla walked along the gravel path for a while, the number of corpses on both sides of the road gradually decreased, replaced by more gravel, dead trees and scattered building debris.
And at the end of the line of sight, a deserted and dilapidated black city was revealed.
It looked like an ancient monster city. Looking at it from the ground up, it looked like it had been bombarded by something from the sky. The building collapsed in a radial pattern from the outside to the ground and shattered to pieces.
The central location has long been turned into ruins. Although the outer buildings are also cracked and damaged, the main part is still well preserved.
The entire city occupies a very large area. It is not surprising that there will be one or two demon clan formations in a large demon clan city, or even a space magic clan array.
"It looks like it should be there."
If your idea is indeed wrong, you can find clues by following the road.
Thinking of that, Leila quickened her pace and planned to go to the city to find out.
As she walked, she slowly felt Ye Chang's uncomfortable feeling.
At first, the feeling was very mild, but as Leila progressed and deepened, the discomfort became more and more serious, and even began to affect her body.
She felt that her body's vitality began to slowly decrease, and the defensive magic she used to condense her demonic power consumed her demonic power faster and faster.
Even, for the first time in a long time, Leila felt that she had some symptoms that seemed like she was sick.
"Well, cough cough cough"
I don't know when she started coughing, and her steps became heavier. Her body seemed to be aching slightly, but she couldn't tell where exactly it hurt.
As a member of the dragon clan with extremely strong physical fitness, and possessing the strength of the reigning Demon King, it can be said that Layla has never been sick at all since she became an adult.
However, at this moment, she experienced for the first time such a strange feeling of pain and weakness.
That weird sick feeling was naturally very bad, and it also greatly reduced the efficiency of Leila's exploration.
As a dragon with rich knowledge, Layla also knew the reasons that led to all that.
"No curse!"
She wiped the sweat from her forehead and muttered to herself with a heavy face.
That's right, a curse, an extremely powerful curse!
And the closer we get to that ancient city, the stronger the curse becomes.
"What should I do? I beg you to move on?"
Upon noticing this, Leila couldn't help but stop and hesitated.
…
Not to mention that Layla was in indecision due to the curse. At this time, the Steel Wing Domain was at the entrance to the secret realm of the ancestors of the Tengu clan.
As the personal bodyguard of the Demon Emperor, the most mysterious Tengu guard among the Tengu clan, at this moment, it is rare that he is not guarding Ushiwakamaru, but is guarding here silently, as if he is waiting for someone to arrive.
Maybe I waited for a long time but no one came, or maybe the time spent guarding was too boring.
In short, Minamoto Kikyo, the youngest among the Tengu Guards, couldn't bear the silence at first, and couldn't help asking the Tengu Guards' captain, Minamoto Kiyoe:
"Sister Hui, did Master Zhan Ji really want to open the ancestral secret realm that time and let the group of nine-tailed fox monsters from Tushan enter?"
As the direct bodyguard of the Demon Emperor, the Tengu Guards were not only samurai brought out by Ushiwakamaru for a thousand years by the Genji clan, but they were deeply influenced by the ancient samurai spirit of the island country.
This made the Tengu guard Ushiwakamaru extremely loyal, and the team had very strict rules and disciplines.
Is such behavior as whispering while guarding a serious violation of discipline?
Bu Nao, as the youngest person in the team, Yuan Kikyo is loved by several older sisters.
Therefore, Yuan Qinghui did not blame her for not obeying the rules, so she lightly glanced at the petite sister next to her. The doting look in her eyes flashed away, and she quickly explained patiently:
"Enter the secret realm of their clan's ancestors to find a lost artifact. That was one of the several requests they made when the Shutun Demon Emperor invited the Tushan Nine-tailed Sky Fox clan to come to help in the battle.
For example, the three Demon Emperor sisters from the Ming Nine-tailed Sky Fox Clan have already visited their Tengu Clan along with the Shuten Demon Emperor and the Snow Demon Emperor. Master Zhan Ji is hosting a banquet for them. After the welcome banquet is over, they will surely arrive soon
I will come here..."
Hearing this, Yuan Qinghui was a little annoyed, and suddenly interrupted Yuan Qinghui's words:
"Then can you drink up the helpers he invited? Why should you ask them to fulfill their requests? Moreover, in the secret realm of their ancestors, how can there be ancient artifacts lost by the Celestial Fox Demon Clan?
The nine-tailed sky fox clan planned to break into the secret realm as soon as they arrived, how overbearing they are!"
"Shh, Platycodon, be careful, let's just talk about it between the sisters, but don't let outsiders hear it.
The nine-tailed sky fox clan is one of the most powerful demon clans in the neighboring country, far beyond what the demon clans in this small island country can match.
And if they have gained a lot of benefits from capturing Tamamo-mae's descendants this time, only Zhan Ji-sama will agree to help. In this case, it doesn't hurt to sell the Kyuubi clan to save face.
As for why the ancient relics I mentioned were lost in his clan's ancestral secret realm... I also know that his clan's ancestral secret realm is actually located in the ancient human-monster battlefield.
It is said that many years ago, when their island country was not a tributary state of the big country next door, a great war took place here. He and other demon tribes from the island country assisted the suzerain country in sending troops to strangle the rebellious humans.
Although they had won before, it was not a tragic victory. Countless members of the same clan died, and many damaged equipment and treasures were scattered among them.
Since there were demon clans from the big country next door involved, it is possible that the artifacts of the Nine-Tailed Sky Fox clan were really lost in it. Was it because Lord Zhan Ji took that into consideration that she would allow them to enter the secret realm to search for it."
"But even if that's the case, it was a long time ago. If this place has become a secret realm of other people, it stands to reason that everything in it should belong to other people. Why give it to them!"
"That's nothing. Have I forgotten that there is a serious curse outside the secret realm, and everything inside is contaminated by the curse. They also took away a small number of useful treasures, and the rest are worthless things."
Yuan Qinghui smiled and quickly pointed out the most important point.
Her underlying meaning is just rubbish. If they want to ask for it, it's okay to sell it as a favor.
"Then if they come earlier or later, they come here at that time..."
But even if Yuan Qinghui explained it like this, Yuan Qinghui was still a little aggrieved. It was obvious that she was wronged by several foreigners to enter the sacred ancestral secret realm, and she was very disgusted.
"Lord, please do they propose that obtaining such ancient relics will help the smooth implementation of the plan to capture the successor of Tamamo. That thing, like the Tao they practice, has the magical power to restrain ordinary nine-tailed foxes.
"
"road?"
"That's right, if you deny the statement of the big country next door, it will deny the direction of your own practice.
He heard Lord Zhan Ji mention that the three Tushan sisters were different from the ordinary nine-tailed foxes in that they did not rely on ruthlessness as a source of power. The way they practiced was very special, and they were not even the nemesis of ordinary nine-tailed foxes.
Do they differ: the path of no appearance, the path of no desire, and the path of ruthlessness that is completely opposite to the source of power of the Nine-tailed Sky Fox clan."
