Chapter 156: Remnants of the Demon God

"Gluttonous β€”β€”!"

Jiang Yao shouted loudly, stumbling to the mouth of the cave that erupted with orange light, and only then did he finally see what was in the cave.

The crimson magma was like a blood-colored python, shuttling under the crack of the inky black rock on the ground, and the lava splashed from the inside of the crack jumped and rushed, and the heat wave distorted Jiang Yao's vision, and the dazzling orange light swept into the entire huge cave space.

At the end of the cave was an ancient and dilapidated stone platform, and a wide stone staircase rose up from the stairs, connecting something above the stone platform, and at the bottom of the stone steps, there was a red-haired man standing with his back to Jiang Yao, motionless.

Over there!

As soon as he saw the red-haired man's standing back, Jiang Yao couldn't pay attention to the heat wave in his face for a while, and hurriedly rushed along the edge of the rock field where the lava had not yet spread, and rushed to the stone steps in the distance.

"Gollum...... Grunt...... Boom ......

The magma surging underground brought a roar, and it seemed that the previous loud noise was also caused by this, and the dangerous aura lingered around Jiang Yao, which also increased the anxiety in his heart. After a while, Jiang Yao finally came to Tao Tao's side, but Tao Tao never turned his head to look at him, just tilted his head slightly, staring at the top of the stone platform, not knowing what he was looking at.

"Gluttony...... What's wrong with you?" Jiang Yao gasped, raised his head and looked up at the glutton's line of sight, and in the scattered shadows, he saw a huge black and red eye lying on the edge of the stone platform, looking down at him coldly.

"Is this!?" Jiang Yao's face changed drastically, and he subconsciously made defensive movements, but he soon found that the behemoth on the top of the stone platform did not move further, and when he looked closely, he realized that the black and red color seemed to be just a projection of the lava light in the cave, and the eyes were hidden in the flickering shadows and did not move, this was obviously not the eyes of a living creature, it seemed to be only a part of a huge stone statue.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ I didn't expect it to be ...... here."

A low murmur sounded faintly from his side, Jiang Yao was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look at the gluttony next to him, but found that the other party had withdrawn his gaze from the stone statue above, and his expression was slightly complicated.

"What's the matter? do you know this place?" Jiang Yao asked cautiously as he heard the gluttonous sound.

"......" gluttony glanced at Jiang Yao, didn't say anything, just turned around silently, raised his eyes and glanced at the ruined wall in the cave that was destroyed by lava and tremors, and there seemed to be a faint trace of a different wave in the red pupils, but it quickly returned to the calm of a lake.

"Well, I've been here...... A long time ago. After a while, the gluttony finally opened his mouth. "Although the location of this place at that time was not in this mountain. ”

"Not in this mountain? I don't understand ......"

"To put it simply, the original location of this 'main hall' is not here, and what you see now is only the 'ruins' that have been 'teleported' through some means. Gluttony sighed, raised his head again, and looked at the huge fallen stone statue above the towering stone platform.

"'Demon Temple'. This is the name of this site back then, and it is also the place where the generals of the Chiyou tribe discussed important matters. ”

Chi You ......!?

Jiang Yao's heart moved, and he couldn't help but think of the huge statue of Chiyou in the ancient tomb of Yuanqiu Mountain, he hurriedly took a few steps back and looked at the stone platform again. With the change of the angle of sight, the outline of the fallen stone statue on the edge of the stone platform gradually became clear, and the face of the stone statue, the majestic demeanor, was indeed very similar to the Chiyou stone statue that I saw in the ancient tomb.

"So, this was originally the main hall in the Chiyou tribe...... so why did it appear here in this form?" Jiang Yao wondered.

"I don't know. Gluttony shook his head. "After the ancient war, the Chiyou tribe collapsed, and it is said that many strongholds and ruins were destroyed, and the wreckage you see in front of you may be the result of the 'Demon God Temple' being applied to the 'Space Transfer Technique' in the chaos back then......"

Gluttony paused, and turned to look at the ruins that had been scorched and collapsed by the rushing lava. In the distorted heat wave, he "saw" some ancient and familiar figures in a trance, swaying in certain memories that flashed back in an instant, and finally faded away, leaving only the silence that had been reduced to dust in the depths of his pupils.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Although at that time, both me and 'them' were long gone......"

Glutton's lips and teeth moved slightly, and he followed softly in a barely audible voice, and at this moment, a sudden roar suddenly exploded in the cave again.

"Rumbleβ€”β€”!!

With the violent shaking of the ground, the cracks in the ground expanded rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and Jiang Yao, who had come back to his senses, suddenly felt bad, this situation was obviously not the time for a leisurely chat.

"Oh no, this place is probably an active volcano, we need to get out of here. ”

Jiang Yao said anxiously, signaling the gluttony to go out together, and the latter did not hesitate, the two quickly rushed out of the cave in front of them, and returned to the rock road where they came.

"The situation is not good, if the volcano erupts, we will all die here......" Jiang Yao looked at the pitch-black rock road in front of him, gasping slightly. "For now, we have to go back the way we came, go to the rock road on the right and see if there is an exit. ”

"I have no opinion, but ...... Can your body still hold on?" Tao Tao looked at Jiang Yao's pale face drenched in cold sweat and said.

"To be honest, it doesn't feel good...... Maybe it's because the air is too stuffy. Jiang Yao smiled bitterly, and hurried along the rock road with heavy steps. "But at least for a while...... Don't worry. ”

"Huh...... With your speed, how many years will you go?" seemed to see Jiang Yao's hard support, gluttony sighed helplessly, and then ignored Jiang Yao's surprised eyes, stepped forward and hugged Jiang Yao without saying anything.

"Wait, ...... you!?"

"Hold on. ”

Before Jiang Yao could react, he suddenly felt a breeze in his ears, and he was instantly carried by gluttony, and rushed towards the rock road in front of him.

"I'll ...... Can you not do this every time...... Hmmm......"

Jiang Yao's stomach, who was once again carried as a "piglet" by gluttony, suddenly twitched, but at this time he didn't have the heart to care about any face, he only felt that the anxiety in his body became more and more obvious with the gradually rising temperature in the rock tunnel, and the uneasiness of being watched by someone in this rock tunnel also followed.

It's the feeling again...... Could it be that there is a third person in this tunnel??

Jiang Yao was secretly frightened, he tried his best to endure the discomfort by the gluttonous resistance on his shoulder, looked up at the back rock road that had retreated sharply in his line of sight, and in the hazy light emitted by the 'Gu Dan' in his hand, he suddenly found a ghostly black shadow flashing in his field of vision.

Is that!?

Jiang Yao was startled, and hurriedly looked at it again, but the strange thing was that he could no longer find the trace of the black shadow, and just when he was surprised, he suddenly noticed that the footsteps that were originally running stopped suddenly.

"What's wrong?"

Jiang Yao didn't look over, but found that the gluttony seemed to be looking at the front of the rock road steadily, and his brows were slightly furrowed.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ See for yourself. As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and put down Jiang Yao, who stood still, quickly turned around to look, and suddenly gasped.

"What's this, why ...... again!"

Jiang Yao's eyes widened, looking at the scene ahead in disbelief, and for a while he had the illusion of being in a dream.

In front of the two of them, a hole emitting orange light suddenly appeared, and bursts of heat erupted from the cave, just like the hole they had fled before.

"No, it won't...... is the same cave on the right as the one on the left, it's also a magma cave!?"

Jiang Yao's cold sweat came down, if both sides of the rock road were sealed caves, then it could be said that the two of them would have no way out, and they would directly face the desperate situation of being trapped and dying here.

"Don't jump to conclusions until you find out. Seeing the current situation in front of him, the gluttony seemed very calm. "Let's go, let's go ahead first. ”

"Hmm......" Jiang Yao nodded, now he has no second way to choose, so he can only temporarily suppress the uneasiness in his heart, and carefully follow the gluttony to the entrance of the cave in front of him.

The rolling heat wave blew from the direction of the cave entrance, distorting Jiang Yao's vision and intensifying the doubts in Jiang Yao's heart, but when he stood at the mouth of the cave and really saw the situation in the cave, the doubts in his heart suddenly erupted into irrepressible shock.

Cracked ground, fallen ruins, towering stone platforms...... What appeared in front of Jiang Yao and Tao Tao was the ruins of the "Demon God Temple" that they had seen in the cave on the left side before.

"How is this possible!?"

Seeing the ruins of the 'Demon God Temple' reappear in front of him, Jiang Yao's head suddenly felt dizzy, and he turned to the gluttony beside him in a daze, and found that a trace of surprise and puzzlement also flashed on the other party's face.

"Could it be that the ruins of the ...... Demon God Temple were divided into two parts when they teleported back then, and there was a part of the cave on the left and right passages?"

Jiang Yao hesitated to put forward a hypothesis, but was quickly overturned by gluttony:

"No, what we see now is the same place as the 'Demon God Temple' we saw before. ”

Gluttony shook his head and pointed to the top of the towering stone platform at the bottom of the cave. I saw that the fallen Chiyou stone statue was still in the same direction and at the same angle, falling on the edge of the stone platform, such an identical scene could not be just a "coincidence".

"If that's the case, then it's ......"

Jiang Yao didn't say any more, and an ominous premonition came over him like a cloud.

It is impossible for the same 'Demon God Temple' to appear in two places at the same time, and there can only be one explanation for this current situation-

They went back to the starting point.
