"I went back again...... How so?"

Jiang Yao was a little confused, and moved his inquiring gaze to the gluttony beside him.

"Could it be that we just took a fork in the road and accidentally turned back to the left side of the path??"

"Heh, do you think I'm going to be as crazy as you?" Gluttony glanced at Jiang Yao and said mockingly. "You should have seen the way you came, there are no forks or bends on either side of the rock road, only a straight road, where else can you go around?"

"It seems to be ...... But, if that's the case, then what's going on with the current situation......" Jiang Yao hesitated, completely confused by the current situation in front of him.

"In the past, some demons used magic to interfere with people's consciousness and vision, causing the caster to unconsciously spin in place, just like the 'ghost hitting the wall' in your human legend...... Although this kind of magic generally doesn't interfere with me. ”

Seeing Jiang Yao's hesitant look, Tao Tao helplessly spread his hands and said.

"If you still don't believe me, then let's go through it again and see what the moths are up there. ”

"Hmm...... Now I have to try again. ”

Jiang Yao thought for a moment, and had to admit that this was the only choice under the current situation, and after walking back for a while, he suddenly remembered something, and then looked left and right, squatted down and picked up a stone, and carved a number "0" on the rock wall on the side, and then walked a few steps, and carved a number "1" on the same side of the rock wall at a distance.

"I leave markers along the way, so I can spot problems in time. ”

After a few steps, Jiang Yao engraved the third number "2", and the two of them left a mark as they cautiously walked towards the dark rock passage where they came.

"Smack...... Bang ......

The roar in the cave gradually faded behind him, and the cautious footsteps of the two people circled in the empty rock road, Jiang Yao carved the mark while carefully observing the surroundings of the rock road. In the red light emitted by the "Gu Dan", the rock tunnels on the left and right sides repeated a monotonous and similar picture, and the numbers engraved on the rock walls also expanded from single digits all the way to three digits, but the straight rock path under Jiang Yao's feet was still long, and there was even a sense of trance that there was no end.

"Hmm...... ...... "The increasingly hot and dull air blocked Jiang Yao's chest like sticky mud, and the symptoms of hypoxia and dehydration in his body became more obvious;

"Almost, judging from the distance, we should have reached the point where we fell from above. ”

The gluttonous words lingered in Jiang Yao's ears, and the latter cheered up and looked forward, but at such a shocking glance, Jiang Yao suddenly noticed that something was wrong.

I saw that on the other side of the rock wall in front of me, there seemed to be a faint familiar mark, slightly twisted in the wave of heat.

"This ...... Could it be!?" Jiang Yao's pupils shrank suddenly, and his mind became blank for a moment.

Reflected in his eyes was a familiar ...... carved by his own hands The number "0".

"Unexpectedly...... It's back again......"

Gluttony muttered in a low voice, only this time, there was a little less sarcasm in his tone. In the sound of a roar, I saw a hole emitting orange light reappear in front of the sight of the two, that kind of state, that heat, undoubtedly revealed a terrible fact-

For the third time, they returned to the cursed ruins of the Demon God Temple.

"No...... It can't be!"

Jiang Yao's face changed drastically, he stumbled forward, and in the opposite rock wall, he really saw the numbers he had carved before, "0", "1", "2"...... It was as if after turning a "U" circle, he was back to square one again.

"Why is this happening? We were walking in a straight line...... Could it really be that you are trapped by some kind of witchcraft?"

Jiang Yao kept reviewing the route in his heart, and in a moment of surprise, he couldn't help but think of the ghostly black shadow in the rock path again, and the rumor that there was a certain "demon" in the depths of the "forbidden land", and some uneasiness in his heart began to rise like weeds.

Could it be ...... ...... is that dark shadow?

"This place has been 'tampered', whether we choose the left or the right, the end is this sealed cave. ”

The gluttonous voice sounded from his side again, and Jiang Yao turned his head to look and found that the other party was staring at the cave in front of him, with a thoughtful expression on his face.

"Moreover, since even I can be trapped, it must not be ordinary demon magic, and the problem is probably not in the rock tunnel, but in the ruins of the 'Demon God Temple'. ”

Tao Tao slowly walked to the entrance of the cave, stared at the ruined ruins that had "returned" again in the cave, and finally moved his eyes to the towering stone platform at the bottom of the cave, his eyes slightly darkened.

"There seems to be something on the stone platform...... Let's go, let's see. ”

After speaking, the gluttony threw off his windbreaker and stepped into the scorching cave again, and Jiang Yao didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly followed.

"Boom...... Boom......

Magma surging underground continued to burst out of the cracks in the ground, and the splatters of lava destroyed the ruins of the temple and pushed the temperature of the cavern higher. Jiang Yao endured the discomfort in his chest, followed the gluttony along the stone steps, and climbed towards the huge stone statue that had fallen on the top of the stone platform, and in a few moments, the two of them stood on the top of the towering stone platform.

"This—these are ......!"

As soon as he saw the scene on the top of the stone platform, Jiang Yao suddenly gasped! He saw that the vast stone platform was densely packed with large and small dry bone remains, surrounding the fallen Chiyou stone statue, and the surface of the stone platform was densely covered with some scarlet treacherous patterns, with the stone statue as the center and expanding to the entire surface of the stone platform, looking like some kind of strange magic circle, which made Jiang Yao's heart suddenly surge with a sense of anxiety and uneasiness.

"...... 'Demon Gu Array'?" gluttony stared at the strange magic circle on the stone platform, his brows gradually locked. He turned around and looked down at the cave from the edge of the stone platform, and soon noticed that in the lava cracks, some seemingly nonexistent red energy was gradually spreading along the orange light, towards the outside of the cave.

"I see...... Looks like that guy calculated it from the start......"

Tao Tao whispered, as if he had sensed the problem, and the information revealed in these words obviously attracted Jiang Yao's attention.

"You just said ...... This magic circle is the 'Demon Gu Array'?" Jiang Yao said in surprise. "Could it be that this place is the place where the centipede monster is refined?"

"Eight or nine is not far from ten. Tao Tao stretched out his hand and pointed to the wreckage on the stone platform and said. "These are the dry bones of low-level demons, they are all bound in this 'Demon Gu Array' and forced to devour each other, and finally give birth to the only 'survivor', that is, the centipede 'Demon Gu' we saw. ”

"No wonder the rumored creatures that broke into the 'forbidden land' have all gone and never returned, it turns out that the so-called 'demon' is this magic circle......" Jiang Yao frowned and said slowly.

"Not only that, the biggest problem now is that this 'Demon Gu Array' is still running. Tao Tao suddenly interjected.

"Still running?" Jiang Yao was shocked when he heard this, and looked up at the glutton. "That means that this circle is still refining the 'Demon Gu'??"

"That's right. Tao Tao turned his head, glanced at Jiang Yao meaningfully, and said. "And once the 'Demon Gu Array' is running, the creatures trapped in the circle will not be able to escape from the circle, until the creatures in the circle kill each other, and finally determine the only 'survivor', and the circle can be unraveled. ”

"You...... What do you mean......!?" Jiang Yao suddenly thought of something, and suddenly looked down at the magic circle under his feet, and found that there was a little strange glimmer flowing in the lines of the magic circle.

"Could it be that the two of us have now fallen into the 'Demon Gu Array'...... It was used as a material for refining 'Demon Gu'??"

"Yes, that's why we couldn't leave the area all the time. Gluttony said calmly, looking at the red energy floating up from the ground below.

"This 'Demon Gu Array' has been improved, and the range has spread to the entire underground rock tunnel through mana radiation. In other words, from the moment we fell into this mountain, we had already fallen into the constriction of the 'Demon Gu Array'. ”

"So...... That 'Wu Lao Liu' was just to let us fall into this 'Demon Gu Array' at that time, so he took it step by step and designed to lure us here!?" Jiang Yao's face turned pale, and he felt remorse in his heart, because his previous misjudgment not only put him in prison, but also put him in such a desperate situation, which made him feel an indescribable embarrassment and guilt in his heart.

"That'...... Then is there a way for us to destroy the 'Demon Gu Array'? As long as the magic circle is destroyed, we should be able to get out, right?" Jiang Yao asked anxiously again, he hoped that he could make amends rather than useless remorse, but the gluttonous answer poured cold water on him again.

"It's a pity that the 'Demon Gu Array' is different from the ordinary magic circle, unless the caster stops himself, he can only wait until there is only one survivor left in the array. ”

Gluttony sighed, turned his head, and looked at the fallen Chiyou stone statue behind him. In the flickering light and shadow, the broken face of the stone statue looked particularly hideous and terrifying, and the gluttonous expression was hidden under the shadow cast by the stone statue, obscure.

"In this situation, it's almost impossible for the caster to stop on his own, so there's only one way left to get out of here. ”

Gluttony said, slowly turning his head, his red eyes glowing dangerously in the darkness.

In other words, between you and me, there can only be one life. ”
