Chapter 20: The Gloomy Forest

The next day, everyone went to Moon Demon City again as agreed. When he was about to reach the Moon Demon City, Bi Fangniao suddenly stopped, and then slowly descended. Ming Chen was puzzled when he saw it.

When the bird fell, they saw three women with hats on their heads and veils on their faces standing in front of them. When Ming Chen saw it, he hurriedly came down and asked, "My pet suddenly appeared in front of you just now, I hope it didn't frighten you." I'm very sorry if there is!"

"Oh!". At this time, a woman showed her true face and sneered: "I haven't seen you for a few days, I didn't expect you to become so gentle tomorrow morning!"

When Ming Chen heard this, he looked up and saw that it was Yuelu standing in front of him, and the two two women were the Afterglow Fairy and the Frost Snow Girl. At this time, Ming Chen said, "Yuelu, how did you know that we would come to Moon Demon City at this time?"

"It's not easy!" said Yuelu, "I already sensed it when you rode the Bifang Bird, and besides, we can wait for you here to avoid being annoying." It's all safe for us. ”

"You're still thoughtful!" said Ming Chen.

"Alright," Yuelu said, "you should use your compliments on my strength on the way to the Gloomy Forest! And it will take half a month to get from here to the Gloomy Forest at the earliest. Let's go!"

"Okay!" After speaking, everyone headed to the Gloomy Forest under the leadership of Moon Dew. On the way, Ming Chen asked, "Yuelu, why didn't you see your father in your palace before?"

Yuelu explained: "This is going to start with the three major forces of the demon race. The three major forces of our demon clan are: the Dragon Demon Clan, the Moon Demon Clan, and the Star Demon Clan. Their leaders were: Harley, Austin, and my father, Anares. They all lived in the Dragon Demon Castle of the Dragon Demon Clan, firstly because the three of them were brothers, and secondly, Harley, for the sake of royal power, the leaders of each race held great power. However, as long as the leaders of each race are controlled in one place, then there is no need to worry that they will rebel one day!"

"That's it!" Ming Chen thought to himself, "It seems that the demon clan also attaches great importance to rights!" On the way to the Gloomy Forest, the group got along quite well. And tomorrow morning is living in dire straits. Because when it comes to eating and sleeping, Mu Xi and Yuelu are peaceful on the surface, but in fact they are turbulent. Once, when Ming Chen gave the roasted meat to Yuelu first, Ming Chen hurried to coax Mu Xi. At this time, Yuelu was deliberately angry. I saw Yuelu lying on Mingchen's body and said, "Mingchen, your barbecued meat is so delicious! can you make some more for Yuelu?"

"This,"

Every time at this time, Mu Xi would be angry: "Yuelu, you let me go tomorrow morning!"

"I don't! I'm mad at you! hehe!"

"Tomorrow morning!"

"Uh......". And when it's time to sleep, it's even more interesting. The two of them each slept on Ming Chen's two shoulders, and the others were envious when they saw it. And tomorrow morning can't sleep every night because of this.

Gradually, everyone is approaching the Gloomy Forest. After everyone climbed over a big mountain, Yu Shu looked ahead and suddenly shouted. At this time, Ming Chen asked, "Yu Shu." What's wrong? I'm not saying, stay calm at all times!"

"No!" Yu Shu pointed to the front and said expressionlessly, "It's dark night ahead, and there is purple lightning!

"What! How is this possible! It's daytime! Where is the night?" Following the direction pointed by Yu Shu, everyone found that it was indeed night ahead, and there were several purple lightning bolts. Everyone was also very frightened when they saw it, and at this time, Yuelu said, "Tomorrow morning, there is the Gloomy Forest!"

"Really?" said Ming Chen, "then let's move on!"

"Wait!" Yu Shu said nervously, "Tomorrow morning, there is lightning around there, what if we die!"

"This,". At this moment, Yuelu said very easily, "Those lightning bolts are actually used to confuse others, so that those who want to enter the forest will obediently leave after seeing this scene. Actually, I hope the lightning here is real, and if that's the case, I can easily get rid of you!hahaha!"

Everyone was very helpless when they saw Yuelu's laughing expression. At this time, Mu Xi whispered in Mingchen's ear: "Mingchen, this Yuelu won't really want to kill us!"

"No!" Ming Chen said with a helpless and confident smile, "She's just showing off, don't worry about her." ”

"That's good!" At this time, Mu Xi said, "Tomorrow morning, you have to stay away from a woman like this who is easy to go crazy in the future, don't be infected by her." ”

When Ming Chen heard this, he smiled bitterly and said, "Yes! I know!" After a while, Ming Chen and the others continued to move forward. When they came to the Gloomy Forest, they saw that the forest in front of them was gray. Everyone saw it and moved on. Just as everyone was about to walk in, Yuelu hurriedly grabbed everyone: "Wait!"

Everyone stopped when they heard this. At this time, Yuelu picked up a small pebble from the place and threw it at the road in front of her. As soon as the pebble hit the ground, the road in front of me instantly moved and emitted a foul smell. When everyone smelled the smell, they quickly covered their noses with their hands. At this moment, the pebble actually sank in front of them. Then, the road in front of them turned into a swamp. Everyone was terrified when they saw it.

At this time, Ming Chen said: "Thank you for the reminder, Your Royal Highness the Princess, otherwise, we will all fall into it!"

"You're welcome!" Yuelu also politely said, "Since we are here together, then I will ensure your safety." This is also my sense of responsibility as a princess. ”

"Alright, don't be polite. At this time, Mu Xi said, "Next, how do we get over?"

"It's easy!". At this time, the Frost Snow Maiden said, "Look at me!". I saw the Frost Snow Maiden come to the swamp and say, "Ten thousand snow seals!" In an instant, the swamp was frozen. Everyone was overjoyed when they saw it: "Yes! The Frost Snow Maiden's Ten Thousand Snow Seals can freeze anything." Alright, we can move forward now!"

Before the words fell, I saw that the swamp that had been frozen just now was thawed in an instant, and the ice cubes were swallowed. Everyone was shocked when they saw it. At this time, Qin Yufei said: "Since the two fairies can fly, why don't you let the two fairies take us to fly in?"

Fairy Afterglow and Frost Snow Maiden nodded when they heard this. At this time, Yuelu said: "No, this swamp can sink to the bottom even if it is goose feathers, let alone fly over!"

When Yu Shu heard this, he complained: "This is not good! That is not good! Or we will directly drain this swamp!"

Just as everyone was discussing how to solve the problem of the swamp, Yuelu suddenly bowed to everyone and said in a slow tone, "Thank you for accompanying me here, I appreciate everyone's kindness." However, if you want to pass through this swamp, only the leaders of the various clans can do it, and it will be difficult for others to enter it. So, I don't want people to continue to risk me. Let's go back!"

"This can't be done," at this time, Mu Xi said, "Your Royal Highness Princess, you have helped us many times regardless of your own safety. Now that you are in trouble, we will not hesitate to do so even if we try our lives!"

"That's it!" Yu Shu also said, "Anyway, we've come here and go back with a sad face, isn't it a joke?

"Yo!" the eldest grandson Zhongda interjected, "I can't see that you Yu Shu have such an awareness! I thought you were afraid of death! It seems that I underestimated you!

When Yu Shu saw it, he was furious and said, "What are you talking about! Believe it or not, I beat you?"

"Yo! Yu Shu is angry!"

"Hahaha!"

Looking at everyone's laughing expressions, Yuelu's eyes were filled with tears: "I used to think that except for Ming Chen, who really helped me, the other races were just forced to help out of Ming Chen's face, but now it seems that I was wrong! They made me feel the warmth between different races again." If the human race can coexist with the demon race, I think everyone will feel this warmth!"

At this moment, Ming Chen carefully looked at the situation of the black swamp that was bubbling with bubbles. He was surprised to find that the surface of the swamp still had traces of the Frost Snow Maiden's use of the Ten Thousand Snow Seal just now. It took a long time for the traces of the snow seal to disappear completely. At this time, Ming Chen suddenly came up with a solution based on the phenomenon just now and Yu Shu's complaints.

"Everyone," Ming Chen beckoned, "I've got a solution!"

"What!" everyone gathered around Ming Chen after hearing this, "Ming Chen, what do you think of?"

"Don't worry!" Ming Chen said, "Snow Maiden, you can use the Ten Thousand Snow Seal you used just now." ”

"What!" said the Frost Girl in surprise, "Didn't I already try it just now?"

"That's it! What the hell do you want to do?", said Fairy Yuyun.

"Please trust me!" Ming Chen replied in a firm tone. The Frost Snow Maiden nodded when she heard this. So, she once again launched Wan Xuefeng. But the result is the same as the first time, there is no difference. At this time, Ming Chen pointed to the swamp and said, "You take a closer look at the surface of the swamp. ”

When everyone heard Ming Chen's words, they all looked towards the swamp. I saw that there were still a few pieces of ice on the surface of the swamp. At this point, the Frost Snow Maiden asked, "What does this mean?"

"Don't worry!" Then, Ming Chen took out the Withered Sky Sword and launched the Crescent Moon Slash towards the swamp. In an instant, the swamp sprayed in all directions under the impact of the sword light. When everyone saw it, they quickly flashed to the side. When the swamp was calm again, Yuelu complained, "Tomorrow morning, what are you doing!

"I'm sorry," Mingchen then looked at the swamp. Tomorrow morning it was discovered that there were countless skeletons at the bottom of the swamp. Subsequently, the bottom of the swamp was flooded again. Mu Xi noticed it and asked, "Ming Chen, what did you see?"

"Mu Xi, did you see anything too?"

"Yes, I saw some skeletons, am I wrong tomorrow morning?"

"You read that right!". Subsequently, Ming Chen told everyone what the two of them had seen just now, and everyone was still puzzled after listening to it, at this time, the Frost Snow Girl said: "Ming Chen, you don't want to split the swamp!"

"That's half right," Ming Chen replied.

When Yuelu heard this, she immediately denied it: "This is impossible, tomorrow morning! This swamp has a strong magical power, no matter how you split it, it will never be possible to cut a way." ”

"That's not what I meant," Ming Chen explained, "Didn't you and the others just see that there are still some ice cubes left on the surface of the swamp after the Frost Snow Maiden used the Ten Thousand Snow Seal?"

"So what?"

At this moment, Mu Xi suddenly thought of something: "Tomorrow morning, you don't want to let the Frost Snow Maiden build an ice wall on top of it while splitting the swamp, right?"

Ming Chen nodded after hearing this: "It's worthy of Mu Xi!

Mu Xi instantly blushed after hearing Ming Chen's compliment: "Thank you for the compliment! Actually, I'm not that smart!" Mu Xi twisted her body as she spoke. Seeing this scene, everyone thought to themselves: "Alas, what's wrong with Mu Xi at this time! When Ming Chen praised her, she was like this." It's endless!"

"The sour smell of love!"

At this time, the Frost Snow Maiden said, "Since we have already thought of a way, let's start quickly!"

"Hmm!". Then, when Ming Chen once again launched the Crescent Moon Slash to split the swamp in two, the Frost Snow Maiden formed a wall of ice in the middle according to the traces of Ming Chen's split. Subsequently, according to Ming Chen's arrangement, except for Ming Chen and the Frost Snow Maiden, who had to keep the Ice Wall Palace, the others followed the principle of ladies first. By the time Tomorrow Morning and the Frost Snow Maiden left, the ice wall had just been swallowed up by the swamp. Everyone was shocked when they saw it.

After successfully passing through the swamp, everyone moved on. In the process of advancing, Ming Chen asked, "Yuelu, where is the Yuan Shen Fruit!"

"In the middle of the forest!" Moondew said, gesturing ahead.

"Now that we know the direction, let's move on!" After speaking, Ming Chen led everyone forward. At this moment, Yuelu took his hand and said, "Wait, the further you go, the more likely you are to encounter the Taiyin Netherworld and Netherworld Dragon Demon Generals." We have to be careful. ”

Ming Chen nodded after hearing this. On the way to the forest, everyone saw dead skeletons along the way. At this time, everyone is dominated by fear. Yuelu saw Hou Yin and said with a smile: "Don't worry, these skeletons are the ones who trespassed into the Gloomy Forest a long time ago, don't worry!"

Everyone was even more scared when they heard Yuelu's words. At this time, Yu Shu said, "That...... Well, if we can't get out, we'll be like them!"

"yes!" Moondew replied with a smile. And everyone couldn't help but feel creepy when they looked at Yuelu's smile. At this moment, Mu Xi found that there was a flower emitting colorful light growing in a bush. Mu Xi saw that the flower was very beautiful, and was about to pick it. Yuelu quickly stopped her. At this time, Mu Xi was puzzled: "Yuelu, why don't you let me pick this flower? It looks so beautiful." ”

"Don't be fooled by its appearance!" Moondew said, throwing a pebble near the flower. As soon as the stone fell on the flower, the stone actually stuck to the petals, and then a stream of green liquid flowed from the stamen. When the liquid first touched the pebble, the pebble melted instantly. Everyone was terrified when they saw it. At this time, Moondew explained, "In the Gloomy Forest, any plant is gray. Because the Gloomy Forest is full of dark elements. If you see a colorful plant like this in the Gloomy Forest, then it's certainly not a plant. ”

"Then what is it?" Mu Xi asked.

"It should be a colorful bloodsucking worm or some kind of plant. "In short, there are many things in the Gloomy Forest that are different from what you humans understand. You just have to follow me closely. If you come across something different from here, be sure to let me know. Don't make your own decisions!"

Everyone nodded when they heard this. Yuelu looked at everyone's submissive appearance and teased: "From this incident, we also know some things. ”

Just as Yuelu finished explaining to everyone, suddenly a yin wind with a strong smell of blood surrounded them. At this time, Yuelu looked frightened and stammered a little: "It's ...... It's coming!"

"Who is it?" asked Ming Chen.

As Moondew was about to explain, she saw a hideous reptile with a purple mane and a steel-like thing on its back, and a humanoid dragon warrior with rock-hard skin and a halberd in her hand. At this time, Yuelu said, "It's over, the Sun Netherworld and the Nether Dragon Demon are coming!"

"What!". Just as he was reacting tomorrow morning, the Nether Dragon Demon General shouted, "Death to the trespasser!" After saying that, he stabbed with a halberd. When he saw it tomorrow morning, he hurried to face it. At the same time, the Netherworld pounced on the others. When everyone saw it, they quickly attacked it.

"The magic fire is in the wild!". In an instant, the Yin Netherworld was trapped in the fire. Yu Shu saw it and said: "

Before Yu Shu's words were finished, he saw Taiyin Netherworld open his mouth and suck Yu Shu's fire into his mouth in one breath. Yu Shu was shocked when he saw it. At this time, Yuelu reminded loudly: "Yu Shu, the Taiyin Netherworld is invasive, even if you use poison, you can't hurt it in the slightest!"

"What!". Just as Yu Shu and Yuelu were talking, Taiyin Netherworld suddenly rushed towards Yu Shu. Yu Shu dodged. At this moment, a voice sounded, "Wan Xuefeng!" Taiyin's limbs were instantly frozen. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yu Shu hurriedly hid behind the Frost Snow Girl. However, it didn't take long to freeze. Taiyin Netherworld broke free in an instant, and then pounced on the two of them. After Fairy Yu Yun saw it, a golden light seemed to appear in her eyes, and at this time, Fairy Yu Yun said: "Divine Illusion!" I saw that Taiyin Nether's eyes were hollow, and finally stood still in place. When Yu Shu saw it, he hurriedly came to her side and kicked it hard: "You wanted to eat me just now!"

At this moment, Yuelu shouted, "Yu Shu is coming back quickly! Taiyin and Netherworld are not afraid of illusions!" Except for Yu Shu, who was having a good time there, the others were very shocked when they heard the news. When Yu Shu was having a good time, Taiyin suddenly opened his eyes. And Yu Shu still didn't notice. It wasn't until Taiyin Netherworld opened his mouth to exhale that Yu Shu felt a warm current behind him, and when he looked back, he saw Taiyin Netherworld looking at him drooling. When Yu Shu saw it, he shouted, "Oh my God!

Just as the Taiyin Netherworld was about to eat Yu Shu, a shield hit its head impartially. The Netherworld was knocked aside by the surprise attack just now. Then, the eldest grandson Zhongda smashed the ground with a hammer and said, "Meteors fall from the sky!" Several earth pillars pierced through the body of Taiyin Netherworld. Under such an offensive, the Taiyin Netherworld was stabbed into the air. After everyone saw it

On the other side, Ming Chen is fighting against the Netherworld Dragon Demon General. When he saw that everyone was defeated by the Taiyin Netherworld. Ming Chen hurriedly activated the six black swords behind his hand, "Six swords fly together!" I saw the six black swords rushing towards the Taiyin Netherworld. Taiyin Netherworld hurriedly dodged after seeing it, but because the speed of the six black swords was too fast. A blood streak appeared on the neck of the Taiyin Netherworld. After receiving this heavy blow, Taiyin Netherworld was immediately enraged. It swooped frantically towards tomorrow morning. When Mu Xi saw it and was about to make a move, Ming Chen said, "Leave this to me, you must not make a move!" At this moment, the Netherworld Dragon Demon General also came to attack Ming Chen. When Yuelu saw this, she was terrified. Mu Xi, on the other hand, reacted in a very different way from Yuelu. Mu Xi's expression was very calm.

Ming Chen saw the two of them flanking and shouted, "It's good to come! Eternal Chaos Blessing, Thirty-six Heavenly Gang Extinction, Seventy-two Earth Annihilation!" Shunma appeared around the two of them with a hundred and eight black sword lights with a fierce aura. Under the shroud of the sword light, in addition to the two of them disappearing in an instant, a big pit appeared under the feet of Ming Chen. In the big pit, there is only a strong ferocity. Everyone was amazed when they saw it.

At this time, Ming Chen said: "Everyone, it is not appropriate to stay here for a long time, let's go quickly!"

"Hmm!"

After defeating the Netherworld Dragon Demon General and the Taiyin Netherworld, everyone moved on. After walking for a while, they came to the center of the forest, and when they arrived, they saw a vast lake in front of them. After Ming Chen looked around to make sure that there was no danger, Ming Chen let everyone rest for a while, and at this moment, Ming Chen asked Yuelu: "Yuelu, where is the Yuan Shen Fruit you are talking about?"

"Right here," Moondew said. After hearing this, Ming Chen looked around again. He saw nothing special around him except for the lake in front of him. At this moment, Yuelu came to the lake, took out a necklace with the power of the Moon Demon from her chest and recited the magic formula: "In the name of the Moon Demon Princess, I order you to appear immediately!"

As soon as the words fell. I saw that a whirlpool appeared on the surface of the lake that was still calm just now. Everyone became nervous when they saw it, and then the whirlpool grew bigger and bigger, and finally formed a waterspout. In the phoenix eyes of the waterspout, there was a bright red light in the morning. At this time, Yuelu pointed to the bright light and said, "Tomorrow morning, that is the Yuan Shen Fruit." ”

"Really?" he was going to go in and get it when he heard it tomorrow morning. Yuelu hurriedly stopped: "No! The coercion of this vortex is too strong, if you can't get it within ten minutes, you will be crushed to death by the coercion of the vortex." Tomorrow morning, are you sure?"

"We're already here, and we're about to succeed, so how can we give up!". Ignoring Yuelu's dissuasion, Ming Chen rushed in alone. Yuelu was also stunned when she saw it. At this time, she thought to herself: "Thank you, tomorrow morning! Once upon a time, I had given up hope of continuing to live." It was you who gave me hope again. Thank you tomorrow morning!"

In the whirlpool, Ming Chen didn't feel it at first, but as he went deeper and deeper, Ming Chen hurriedly seemed to have countless mountains pressing on his body. Under this strong pressure, Ming Chen could only stand still in the end. Yuelu said worriedly when she saw it: "It's not good, if Ming Chen doesn't move, it won't be long before Ming Chen will be torn to pieces by strong coercion." ”

At this time, tomorrow morning is like a small grass in a storm, and if you are not careful, it will go away with the wind. Ming Chen thought to himself: "No, it will be bad if it continues like this." If you use Chaos Misanthropy, you can indeed solve the current dilemma. However, as soon as this trick comes out, everyone will be exposed. What can I do about this!" Just when Ming Chen was about to lose it, Ming Chen remembered that there was a skill in the scroll that the Chaos Monarch had given himβ€”the Ode to Darkness. It is rumored that even the ocean can completely split it into pieces when this trick is made.

Thinking of this, Ming Chenjiang summoned the Heaven Separation Shield and the Dry Sky Sword. "Armor!". As soon as the words fell, I saw that the shield from the sky had turned into a pair of battle armor. Then, Ming Chen took the Dry Sky Sword and said, "Ode to the Darkness of the World!" I saw a black sword light instantly split the tornado in half. Finally, it rained in the sky. When Yuelu saw this, she thought to herself, "Impossible! Even His Majesty the Emperor can't split the tornado with just one sword." Tomorrow morning, what have you been through?"

After the tornado disappeared, Ming Chen successfully got the Yuan Shen Fruit in his hands. After getting back the Yuan Shen Fruit, give it to Moon Dew tomorrow morning. Yuelu took it and thanked her: "Ming Chen, thank you!"

"You're welcome!" Ming Chen said, "Now that the Yuan Shen Fruit has been obtained, what are you going to do next!"

Yuelu said: "

After an hour, Moondew gradually woke up. Just when Yuelu woke up, there was a faint yin wind around Yuelu's side. Everyone was puzzled when they saw it. At this time, the Frost Snow Maiden said, "Yuelu, you won't have become an immortal, will you?"

"What!" Mu Xi asked after hearing this, "She's a demon, how could she become an immortal?" sister, you can't be mistaken, right?"

"You can't be wrong!" said the Frost Snow Girl with a firm look in her eyes, "When Harley attacked the Outer Wonderland, his strength was already at the level of an immortal. I'll never forget that!"

While the two were talking, Yuelu said, "What she said is half right and half wrong. ”

"What!" the Frost Snow Maiden wondered, "Am I wrong?"

"No," Yuelu said, "your Terran is saying that you are immortals. And here we are demons!"

"Really?" Ming Chen said, "Since Her Royal Highness the Princess's strength has increased greatly, I congratulate Her Royal Highness on this adventure!"

"Okay, don't praise me!" Yuelu said, "If you hadn't brought us here and obtained the Yuan Shen Fruit, I'm afraid I would never have become a demon! Thank you!" Yuelu said as she came to Mingchen's side and whispered in Mingchen's ear, "Mingchen, the ban you gave me has also disappeared. You say, if I repent, what will you do?"

"Uh......" Ming Chen didn't know how to answer for a while after hearing it.

Yuelu looked at Ming Chen's anxious expression and said, "Okay!

Ming Chen was even more speechless when he heard it. After a while, Ming Chen said to everyone: "Everyone, since the matter is done, let's leave quickly!" Everyone nodded after hearing this.

Just as everyone was about to leave, Yuelu suddenly stood in place and looked at the surroundings vigilantly. When Ming Chen saw it, he hurriedly asked everyone to be alert: "Your Royal Highness Princess, is there anything wrong here?"

Moondew didn't answer. I saw Yuelu walking towards a bush, and everyone followed after seeing it. After coming to the grass, I saw Yuelu looking at the stone tablet in her hand. Ming Chen asked, "Yuelu, is there anything special about this stone tablet?"

When Yuelu heard this, she handed the stone tablet to Ming Chen. Ming Chen looked at it. Except for some symbols on it, Ming Chen didn't see anything special. At this time, Yuelu took the stele over and said, "This stele is engraved with the ancient words of our demon race, and you people of the human race can't understand it!"

"That being the case. Ming Chen said, "Why don't you tell us the contents of the stone tablet?"

"Yes. ”。 After saying that, Yuelu began to translate. When Yuelu translated halfway through the stone tablet, Yuelu looked surprised, and the pupils of her eyes dilated. Ming Chen noticed it and asked, "Yuelu, why are you so nervous?

"Oh my God, this is incredible!"

"What do you mean?"

"Tomorrow morning," Yuelu said with a serious expression, "Maybe you can't believe what is on the stele, but I still want you to know." Tomorrow morning, I'll translate in your Terran language. You have to remember it!"
