Chapter 819: Demon Palace [Asking for a Monthly Pass]
Chen Xi didn't know much about the history of the demon clan, although he had been in contact with Xu Ji for a long time, but the secret was told to him little by little by Xu Ji like squeezing toothpaste. And in a place like the Demon Domain, you don't want to rely on your own observation or inquiry to know about the history and present of the Demon Race. The demon race is sparsely populated, and most of those soldiers are of other races. For example, most of the flying leopard riders are just humanoids, but they just look like people.
Therefore, in the place where the gods and demons are fighting, it is not that there are no prisoners, but it is basically impossible to ask something from the prisoners.
As for the other races, they don't know as much as the soldiers. For example, the big-headed monster can't even speak, how can you ask?
Chen Xi observed the building below, the style is very simple, although the building has collapsed a lot, but the overall scale is still there. This is supposed to be a huge palace castle, with three major halls in front and back, and rows of buildings in the back. At this time, Chen Xi and the others were standing on the roof of the first hall, looking forward to a platform, and below the platform was a square, on which there were originally many stone pillars, but most of them had collapsed.
"Could this be an abandoned palace of the Demon Clan?"
The fat man muttered, "Didn't you say that in the earliest days, before the Black Gold Mountain separated the Demon Domain from the Divine Domain, the gods and demons often fought each other. There was once a time when the army of the Ancestors entered the Demon Domain, could this have been built at that time?"
Chen Xi nodded, the fat man's words were very reasonable. Xu Ji once said that there was no Black Gold Mountain at the beginning. Neither the Divine Ancestor nor the Demon Ancestor is convinced by the other, whether it is in personal cultivation or in the development of their respective forces. There was more than one big battle between the demons and the gods. Xu Ji said that the most glorious time of the Divine Ancestor was that the army directly entered the capital of the demon clan, so much so that the Demon Emperor had to move the capital with his subordinates
Could it be that this is the Demon Capital that was destroyed by the Divine Domain countless years ago?
Chen Xi shouted a few times upward, telling Teng'er that they were okay with the fat man, and that they would go down and see if they would return after a while. Then he and the fat man walked along the ridge to the side, and the two of them jumped down one after another. After reaching the ground, Chen Xi realized that his idea might be wrong, although the building was very dilapidated, but there was no trace of man-made damage. All the collapse and destruction are caused by age.
This is also because this imperial palace is located inside the Apocalypse Mountain, isolated from the outside world. If it were exposed, there might not even be a single ruin left.
The building is simple and atmospheric, without complicated pattern decoration. Chen Xi saw that some traces could still be vaguely identified on the pillars in front of the main hall, and after looking carefully, it was just a flowing cloud pattern, which had no practical significance. On the platform in front of the main hall, there are a total of one hundred and eight stone statues, all of which are incomplete. Every statue was different, Chen Xi walked up to one of the statues and looked at it, and found that the carved thing looked like a big-headed monster that had fought fiercely.
The fat man shouted on the other side: "Chen Xi, come and take a look, do you want those horse-faced soldiers with this thing." ”
Chen Xi went to the fat man and found that the statue he saw was almost exactly the same as the flying leopard knights he saw. There is almost no difference between the appearance and a human being, but a face is surprisingly long, the facial features are hideous, and the ugly one can't be uglier.
The fat man looked at it and said, "You said that these one hundred and eight statues, could it be the one hundred and eight races controlled by the demons? If so, then the place we are standing in now may really be the palace of the demons." But shouldn't the palace of the demon clan be in Weizhi City, how could there be one inside this Apocalypse Mountain, and it seems that there are a lot of abandoned thoughts. ”
Chen Xi said: "We don't know anything about the history of the demon race, so we can't speculate anything at all. However, I still think what you said before is very reasonable, the reason why this imperial capital city was abandoned is not unrelated to the original war between the gods and demons. Perhaps during the period when the Protoss was strong, the Demon Race was at an obvious disadvantage, so the Imperial Capital City had to be built in the Apocalypse Mountain, so that the people of the Protoss would be difficult to find. ”
The fat man snorted: "Your speculation is very reasonable, whether it is the palace of the demon clan or not, let's go in and see." This palace is also unchanged, at least there will be a dragon chair in the main hall. ”
Chen Xi nodded, walked to the front door of the main hall with the fat man and looked inside, it was dark inside, and he couldn't see anything clearly. Chen Xi casually spilled out a piece of runes, and those runes flew into the main hall with a glitter, illuminating the surrounding environment clearly.
The fat man pointed to the other side: "Look, there's a fucking dragon chair." ”
Not only is the dragon chair, but also very delicate and luxurious, the back of the dragon chair is a Kowloon jade, and the backrest of the dragon chair is integrated. The dragon chair is at least three meters wide, and it is no problem for ordinary people to roll and sleep on it.
"See the dragons?"
The fat man's face suddenly changed: "It's a ghost-faced flying dragon." ”
Chen Xi and the fat man stepped into the main hall, the smell of dust in the room was particularly strong, and the nose was extremely uncomfortable. On the ground of the main hall, you can see that there are dense futons, and it seems that after the demon courtiers go to the hall, they can all sit down. The fat man curiously touched one of the futons, and when his fingers touched it, the futon turned into a pile of dust.
Chen Xi said: "It's better not to touch the things in here, they are all very rotten, they don't look like anything, they will break when you touch them." ”
The fat man sighed: "The fat man originally planned to sit on the dragon chair, but I didn't dare to go when you said this." But if these things can be reversed, we can make a lot of money in the Demon Domain. In the future, we won't go to war, and it would be good to be a rich man in the Demon Domain directly. Yilai stretched out his hand to eat and opened his mouth, and there were thirty-six big girls waiting"
As soon as he said thirty-six, he shut up himself.
Just when Chen Xi and the others were about to walk further and leave without finding anything, there was a sudden sound from above. After Chen Xi and the others exited the main hall, they looked up and found that the four of them had jumped down one after another.
"Quick!"
Teng'er shouted in mid-air: "The pursuers of the demon clan have arrived, and they are different from the previous flying leopard riders, they are very strong. ”
Chen Xi immediately raised his hand, and the divine tree conjured up, blocking the hole above his head. The sacred tree changes to hide the entrance of the cave perfectly. Chen Xi pulled the vine into the main hall, and everyone held their breath. It wasn't long before the roar of a beast could be heard from above. The roar was like thunder, and the dust on the shaking hall fell down layer by layer.
After a while, perhaps the pursuers above really couldn't find anyone, and gradually moved away.
Teng'er wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said in a low voice: "Those pursuers look very strong, riding iron tigers more than two meters high, and each of them is menacing. It looks like it's much more powerful than the flying leopard rider who chased us at the beginning. ”
Chen Xi was silent for a while and then said: "First the flying leopard riders of the brigade, and then the army that is more powerful than the flying leopard riders, our target may not be when we encounter any marmots in Shuhai City, but in the Weizhi City of the Demon Clan." ”
The fat man was stunned for a moment: "What do you mean? We haven't arrived in Weizhi City yet, how can we be exposed in Weizhi City." ”
Chen Xi said: "There is a jade pendant for communication between me and Xu Ji, I have contacted Xu Ji several times before this, but I have not replied. If nothing else, this jade pendant should have fallen into the hands of the demon clan. So now, seven or eight out of ten Xu Ji is still alive, he was caught by the master of the demon clan and imprisoned somewhere. Those people of the demon clan found us according to the jade pendant. ”
Qinglong's face changed: "If it is really a master who can't even deal with Xu Ji comes, we are afraid that we will definitely die." ”
Chen Xi said: "It is unlikely that such a master will be dispatched, a large number of true gods are in the Demon Clan's Weizhi City, and the masters of the Demon Clan dare not leave easily." Because although those true gods have demon bloodline in their bodies, they also have god blood, so their control must not be easy. Now that the number of true gods in Weizhi City is amazing, they don't have to worry about sending masters to leave. Besides, against us people, they don't need to send real powerhouses. ”
The fat man said: "Anyway, let's find a place to avoid for a while." The people of the demon clan above are wandering around, but we are wandering around in the palace of their ancestors. ”
Qinglong and the others observed the surrounding environment, and they were all surprised.
"Did you notice anything wrong?"
Qinglong asked.
Chen Xi nodded: "This hall doesn't have a back door, which doesn't make sense." ”
Qinglong nodded: "There is only the main gate, could it be said that the Demon Emperor and the courtiers came in from the same gate?
The fat man shook his head: "That's impossible, it's unreasonable." ”
Chen Xi walked behind the dragon chair and looked at it, and found that there was a piece of wall whose color was different from the surrounding walls, and it was extremely subtle. The main thing is that the bricks are arranged in a somewhat disorderly order, and the brick joints of the whole wall are a little stiff.
"It's just that the people of the demon clan abandoned this palace, after all, there was the Black Gold Mountain later, and the two sides were no longer at war, so there was no need to hide in this black Apocalypse Mountain. But why block the doors of the main hall?"
The fat man walked over and stretched out his hand and knocked on it, and his voice was indeed a little empty.
The sound of tapping fell, and Chen Xi and the others heard a faint sigh at the same time.
Several people's faces changed, and they immediately prepared to defend. But when the sigh was gone, there was no more sound. The fat man was stunned for a moment, then walked over and knocked on the wall, but there was no sound again. A few people will definitely not be auditory hallucinations, one person will have auditory hallucinations, and several people have heard them, obviously not hallucinations.
"I guess something amazing might be sealed inside by the demons, do you want to go in and take a look?"
The fat man's voice trembled a little, but it was clearly not scared, but excited.
Qinglong said: "More things are better than less things, when the pursuers of the demon clan are far away, let's get out of here quickly." I always thought this place was too weird."
As soon as his words fell, he suddenly heard a faint voice like a woman whispering. This time it was closer, as if it were behind the wall. The fat man's face changed, and two Fengshen knives instantly appeared in the palm of his hand.
The voice lasted for a while, just like when Chen Xi heard it above, obviously very close, but he didn't hear a word clearly.
The fat man was the most anxious, and after waiting for a while, no sound appeared, so he simply slashed out with two knives, and it was too late for Chen Xi to stop it.
The wall collapsed into a hole, and then Chen Xi and the others saw the back of a woman almost at the same time, and disappeared in a flash.
