Chapter 0417 - Separation Before the Fork in the Road
Before the fork in the road, Su Qi looked left and right, and soon he realized that this was not actually a fork in the road, but a straight avenue in front of him, this avenue was very wide, enough for more than ten people to pass side by side on it, and the narrow stone road where Su Qi was located looked extremely shabby at this time.
"Looks like we're on a path," the first demon said behind him, "and now we're going to merge into the main path." ”
"Where does this lead?" Su Qi quickly discovered that this statement was inaccurate, "uh....... Perhaps the road leads from where it leads?"
The first demon gently tapped Su Qi's back, motioned for him to go to the main road, and said, "Since it is the main road, it means that the end of one of the directions is the world of the mysterious race, but I don't know which one, come on, little guy, tell me which one you want to go to?"
"It seems to me that it's the same in either direction. Su Qi opened his spiritual eyes and looked at both ends, perhaps because he was too far away, he didn't find anything that could show the way.
"Good thing I have a map. The first demon groped around on his body and took out a palm-sized stone shard, Su Qi quickly recognized that this stone slab was the same material as the stone slab under their feet, she looked down twice, and frowned, "Who drew this...... It's ugly. ”
"Where did you get the map?" Su Qi was surprised.
The first demon glanced at him slowly, as if he felt that he was an idiot with this question, "Of course it was left by Li Chaoge, as for where he got it, I don't know." ”
She raised the slate, "I heard that this kind of stone is a universal commodity on the ancient road, and it is also the only thing that can be immortal on the forbidden ancient road, but unfortunately, the map on this stone slab is incomplete, only a small section after leaving the world." ”
"Where do you go then?"
"I'm going to the left. ”
Su Qi was shocked, he understood the meaning of the first demon, "What do you mean?
"Why are you so surprised? Didn't I say we would eventually go our separate ways on this road?"
The first demon grabbed the slate with her left hand, and her right index finger swiped the slate, and the slate suddenly split into two, she threw the right half to Su Qi, grabbed the left one and put it into her arms, waved her hand at Su Qi, and said with a smile, "That's ...... See you later. ”
Su Qi looked at the stone slab in his hand in a daze, and after a while, he roared at the first demon who was walking leisurely on the road on the left, "You, you, you, stop me!"
"Something?" the first demon asked, confused.
"It's too early to separate, isn't it? Didn't you say we'd be together for a while?"
"It's time to be together. "The first demon looked innocent.
Su Qi pointed at the first demon, trembling, and then said angrily, "You are the emperor, how can you be so irresponsible?"
The first demon blinked, "We don't know each other well, why should I be responsible for you?"
"Because you brought me on this road!" Su Qi was very angry.
The first demon raised his index finger and shook it gently, "But this is Li Chaoge's idea, as the so-called unjust debtor has the owner, you have to find him to settle the account." ”
"The devil knows where he is, maybe he will die in some corner long ago!"
"Possibly, after all, he is very jealous, if you find him, please help me put incense on him. The first demon nodded earnestly.
Su Qi suddenly felt exhausted, and he sighed, "Okay....... You've got to tell me what I'm looking for, right? Could it be that I'm just going to go down this road? Even if I see what the Sword Immortal wants me to find, I'll probably miss it. ”
The first demon put away a joking smile, "He didn't tell me why he took you on this ancient road, and naturally he didn't say what he wanted you to seek, but I think when you meet what he wants you to seek, you will definitely recognize it." ”
Su Qi was stunned for a moment, and then touched the half of the slate in his hand, "With my realm, I'm afraid I won't be able to go far......"
"Not necessarily, although this road is known as the Emperor's Cemetery, but it is not only the Emperor who can set foot on this ancient road, for example, when I did not find the world, I have drifted in this darkness for tens of thousands of years, and the ancestors of your human race, most of them have also spent a difficult time on this road, since many of them survived, it means that this road is not everywhere, there is no hope of life, as for the Emperor......" The first demon smiled slightly self-deprecatingly," We all think very highly of ourselves, and almost all of us are looking for the deepest secrets on this path, and it is often the most dangerous place, and of course many emperors will die here. ”
"Are you comforting me?" Su Qi rolled his eyes.
"No, in fact, I am advising you, there must be many secrets on this road, maybe it involves the origin of the world, maybe it is related to the disappearance of the emperors, maybe it hides the secret of immortality, but if you don't have the certainty of retreating, don't go crazy for the sake of momentary curiosity," the first demon turned around, walked into the distance, and added lightly, "Also, anything alive on this road is dangerous, if you encounter a strange race or strange person, remember to be cautious." ”
"Goodbye, little one. The first demon waved his hand in a dashing manner, "I hope he can meet again one day." ”
Su Qi watched the figure of the first demon gradually disappear into the darkness, and a huge blankness enveloped him in an instant, and he stood in a daze for a long time, until even his heartbeat and breathing became extremely clear, and he came back to his senses.
He lowered his head, the stone slab in his hand was very thin and smooth, with thin lines carved on it, Su Qi easily found a small mark representing the bronze door in the bottom corner, and his fingers moved slowly on the lines.
Stone Pavilion.
Fork in the road.
He quickly found his location, the map to the left had been broken by the first demon, and the part to the right led straight to a circular marker, with a few ancient characters written next to it, Su Qi lowered his head and looked carefully for a long time before he recognized that it was the four words of the place of refuge.
"Shelter ......," Su Qi put away the slate, "It sounds like a safe place." ”。
He turned around, looked at the dark road ahead, suddenly shouted, and ran quickly along the stone path.
This main road is much wider than the one when he came, and there is no need to worry about accidentally falling, so Su Qi simply let go of his hands and feet, and ran all the way along the stone road, intending to express his inner anxiety in this way, but he didn't notice that there was a small black shadow that slipped quietly from the direction of the stone pavilion to the main road, and after pausing for a moment, he quickly chased after him.
