Chapter 824: After Encountering the Stone Ji Demon
The two envoys of the Forbidden Land Secret Mansion were both strong people of the Demon Clan, and their cultivation was extremely profound, but they did not have any hostility towards Ning Xiaochuan and the others.
The Forbidden Land Secret Mansion is really a strange place, and it doesn't seem to be under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Dream Demon Emperor at all.
The two messengers led Ning Xiaochuan, Yue Mingsong, Baozhu Jizang, and Xiaohong into the gate on the cliff, and disappeared, and I don't know where they went.
With a bang, the gate closed again, and in the darkness, a stone staircase descending appeared.
Ning Xiaochuan walked in the forefront, stepping on the stone stairs and entering an intricate underground passage.
In the underground passage, there are also many independent stone houses, and each stone house is inhabited by at least one living being, not only human monks, but also many strange-looking demon creatures.
However, the demon race and the human race did not fight each other in the secret mansion.
"Newcomer, have you just come to the Forbidden Land Secret Mansion, and are you going to break into the ruins?" In a rather spacious stone house, a skinny old man walked out and asked Ning Xiaochuan with a smile.
The old man had long green hair, skin like tree bark, and his legs were made of countless tree roots, rooted in the dirt.
"Dryad?" Ning Xiaochuan said.
The old man shook his head and said with a smile: "Actually, the old man is also a human race, and he belongs to the tree people clan. â
The Tree Race does exist zĂ i, which is a type of high-level human race.
However, in the north. Jiang rarely saw any trace of the tree man, so Ning Xiaochuan regarded him as a tree demon.
"It turned out to be the predecessor of the Treant Clan, what advice do you have?" Ning Xiaochuan said.
The old tree man squinted his eyes and looked at Ning Xiaochuan, and said mysteriously: "Old man, there is a map of the ruins here, are you interested in buying it?"
Ning Xiaochuan's heart moved, and he said, "The map of the predecessors, which area of Guixu is recorded?"
When the old tree man heard the play, he immediately showed joy and said, "We are now located in the southern part of Guixu, and the Forbidden Land Secret Mansion has divided the 10,000-li ring area on the southern periphery of Guixu into one hundred and eighty areas. This decaying map records the dangers of the 82nd District, and marks the origin of various treasures in the 82nd District. â
Map of the eighty-second arrondissement.
Ning Xiaochuan was very unfamiliar with Guixu, so he looked at Yue Mingsong.
Yue Mingsong nodded lightly and said, "The periphery of Guixu is indeed divided into one hundred and eighty areas, each area is about 10,000 li wide in width, and 10,000 li in length ranges from 10,000 li to 100,000 li. â
Ning Xiaochuan frowned slightly, and said, "Could it be that we can only move in the ring zone within 10,000 li of the outer ruins, and not enter the deeper part of the ruins?"
Ning Xiaochuan clearly remembered that in the legend, the ruins were extremely vast, and no one knew how deep it was.
It is recorded in mythological texts that the ruins are tens of millions of miles deep, and that is not the bottom of the ruins.
It can be said that 10,000 miles in front of tens of millions of miles is indeed a periphery, and it cannot be a periphery.
The old tree man heard Ning Xiaochuan's words and said, "Young man, you don't know, even if it is just a 10,000-mile ring area on the periphery of the ruins, it is extremely dangerous. If a young person like you cultivates goes in ten, it is estimated that only five of them will be able to come back alive, and they must be well prepared to have such a high survival rate. â
"If you break into the depths of 10,000 miles, and you go in ten, I am afraid that all ten will die in it. â
Yue Mingsong also nodded and said, "He is right, most of the people who come to return to the ruins now are going to explore the one hundred and eighty areas on the periphery. Don't look at the periphery of the ruins, some of these dangerous areas, even if a real person walks in, the mortality rate is extremely high. â
Ning Xiaochuan nodded lightly, and it was not until this moment that he had a certain intuitive understanding of the danger of returning to the ruins.
Ning Xiaochuan looked at the old tree man and asked, "Senior, there really is only a map of District 82?"
The old tree man looked at Ning Xiaochuan again and asked, "How many Xuanshi do you have?"
"Why are you asking this?" said Ning Xiaochuan.
Lao Shuren said: "The more dark stones you have, the more maps you will naturally have here." â
It turned out that he was worried that Ning Xiaochuan would not be able to afford a map, so he told Ning Xiaochuan that he only had a map of the eighty-second district.
The eighty-second district has the lowest danger out of the 180 districts, and it is also the area most frequented by creatures of all races. Therefore, the map of the 82nd arrondissement is also the cheapest.
Ning Xiaochuan said: "I'm looking for the 'marrow of soldiers', I don't know which area on the periphery of the ruins can be found?"
"You're looking for the marrow!"
The old tree man was slightly startled, and said: "The marrow of the soldier is a rare treasure, but after the mysterious weapon and the supreme weapon are destroyed, the essence of the soldiers escapes and gathers together, and after tens of millions of years of sedimentation, it can be turned into an extremely small amount of marrow. On the outskirts of the ruins, it was only found in the ninth district. â
Ning Xiaochuan's heart was overjoyed, and he said, "Okay! I want a map of the ninth district!"
Lao Shuren said: "Young man, don't blame the old man for not reminding you, the ninth district is the most terrifying area on the periphery of the ruins, it is extremely dangerous, and there are very few creatures who can get out alive. â
"Do you have a map of District 9 there?" Ning Xiaochuan said.
"Yes!"
Ning Xiaochuan said: "Let's make a price!"
Seeing that Ning Xiaochuan had made up his mind, the old tree man no longer advised, and said, "Among the one hundred and eighty areas in the ninth district, the danger is the highest, but it is precisely for this reason that there are very few creatures who dare to enter the ninth district, and many treasures in the ninth district have not been excavated. â
"So, the map of the 9th arrondissement is also the most expensive. Since everyone is a human race, then the old decay will sell it to you cheaply, 100,000 earth-grade Xuanshi!"
", old fellow, are you trying to grab the Xuanshi?" Yue Mingsong pinched the old treeman's hair and lifted the old treeman up from the ground.
The old tree man cried out in pain, and said, "Let go, let go!" The price of the old decay is really the fairest, if you go to buy it elsewhere, the price will at least double. â
Ning Xiaochuan said: "Let him go! Let's ask elsewhere, if the price is really high, it's not too late to come back and buy it." â
Yue Mingsong also felt reasonable, and let go of his hand, and the old tree man fell back to the ground, almost falling apart.
In the Forbidden Land Secret Mansion, there are many stone houses.
Some stone houses are selling maps.
Some stone houses are selling ore dug up from the ruins.
Some stone houses are selling psychic medicines picked from the ruins.
There are also some stone houses that sell broken weapons, and even then, the price is extremely expensive.
Ning Xiaochuan and the others went to inquire about the price again, and the map of the ninth district was indeed sky-high, and the minimum was twenty-five earth-grade Xuanshi.
In the end, they returned to the stone house where the old tree man was, and bought the map of District 9 for the price of 100,000 earth-grade dark stones.
The old tree man counted the Xuanshi with a smile and asked, "Young man, I didn't expect you to be so rich at such a young age, you should be a descendant of the Holy Land!" By the way, you are not going to the Ninth District, there happens to be a team of demon clan creatures in the Forbidden Land Secret Mansion who are also going to the Ninth District, do you want to go with them?"
"Demon Clan!"
Ning Xiaochuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and said, "No need, let's just go by ourselves." â
Just kidding, the human race and the demon race must be on guard against each other at all times, how tiring it is!
"Okay! If you can find the real treasure from the ninth district, you can get the appraisal here from the old decay, or you can sell it to the old decay, and the price of the old decay is always fair...... Of course, only if you come back alive. â
The old tree man looked at Ning Xiaochuan and the others who walked out, and shook his head gently. He didn't think that Ning Xiaochuan and the others could come back alive from the ninth district, in his opinion, Ning Xiaochuan and the others going to Guiru was like going to die.
Walking out of the stone house of the old tree man, Ning Xiaochuan saw a group of demon creatures coming over, there were more than a dozen demon beast powerhouses, among them, the one walking in the front was a beautiful woman with white hair.
Although she deliberately restrained the aura on her body, she still had a natural momentum emanating from it, just like a self-respecting empress.
The other monster creatures, all like her servants, bowed down and cautiously followed behind her.
After seeing this demon woman, Yue Mingsong's face changed greatly, and he said in a low voice: "Shi Ji Demon Queen." â
"What? You said she was the Demon Queen of the Stone Hime?"
Ning Xiaochuan and Baozhu Jizo's faces also changed slightly.
In the battle of the Bright Holy Land, the true body of the Shi Ji Demon Queen only appeared once, and at that time, Ning Xiaochuan and Baozhu Jizo were not present, so they didn't know the Shi Ji Demon Queen.
However, Yue Mingsong had seen with his own eyes that the Shi Ji Demon Queen had exerted supreme supernatural powers, taking away a main earth vein of the Bright Holy Land, and cultivating to a profound and unpredictable level, he was a rather terrifying existence among the demon clan.
A demon queen actually came to the Forbidden Land Secret Mansion!
Ning Xiaochuan, Baozhu Jizang, Yue Mingsong, and Xiaohong immediately returned to the stone house where the old tree man was.
There is a formation guarding the stone house, but I am not afraid of being detected by the stone queen demon to detect the breath of humans.
"What else do you guys want to buy?" Seeing Ning Xiaochuan and the others returning, the old tree man immediately greeted him with a smile, just like seeing a group of God of Wealth.
"Shut up!" Yue Mingsong rushed over, pressed the old tree man to the ground, and covered his mouth tightly.
The Empress Shi Ji walked to the outside of the stone house, stopped, and looked towards the closed stone door, revealing a trace of doubt.
"Demon Queen, what did you find?" asked an old demon who followed behind the Shi Ji Demon Queen.
"It's nothing, maybe I've met a human friend!" said the red lips of the stone queen demon turned up slightly, and there was a bit of deep light in her eyes, which was meaningful.
"Human!"
The demon creatures who followed behind Shi Ji Demon all became murderous.
Among them, a big man covered with crimson stones, carrying a stone hammer, walked outside the gate of the stone house and said, "My subordinates are willing to kill that human being on behalf of the demon queen." â
It lifts up the stone hammer and is about to smash the stone door and break in to kill the humans inside.
"Oh no, the perception of the Demon Queen of Shi Ji can be so strong, but she is still aware of it. Ning Xiaochuan summoned out the half-cut Xingluo halberd and squeezed it in his hand.
As soon as the stone gate is breached, a counterattack is immediately launched.
Although the Demon Queen of Shi Ji and those creatures of the demon clan were extremely powerful, Ning Xiaochuan's heart did not have any fear, and his eyes were very firm.
Even if you die in battle, you can't wait for death.
