Chapter 579: Underground Demon Kingdom
What does the world look like behind the door?
Before pushing open this door, Jiang Ran had thought about it and considered many possibilities.
Or you will see mountains of treasure, in the middle of which there is a tall stone platform with hundreds of night pearls dotted with the environment of the cave, making the interior as bright as day.
thus setting off the majesty of the divine soldier on the high platform, which is enough to destroy the world in legends.
But no.
When the gate opened, it was still a dark cave.
There were rocks everywhere, and there were no mechanisms or treasures.
Walking along the path, you can see the unsightly residue that has long since corroded.
But what these residues were in the first place, even with the current vision and knowledge of Jiang Ran and the others, they couldn't guess at all.
Forward, it seems, is the only way.
Along the way, the people stopped talking.
There is an indescribable sense of disparity in my heart.
I thought that if I opened the magic door, I would be able to see the key things...... But in reality, the door was like a joke.
Laugh at their expectations of the door.
The road is consumed under the feet, along the dark path, trampling forward.
I don't know how far I walked again, and once again a huge roar came into my ears.
It's windy!
The wind was strong.
The fire fold in Jiang Ran's hand seemed to have turned into a broken candle in the wind, which could be extinguished at any time.
Fortunately, Jiang Ran supported it with internal strength, so that its fire was still strong.
There is the sound of water, the moisture is caught in the wind, and the huge humidity makes people very uncomfortable.
Jiang Ran finally couldn't help but look at the Demon Crossing Hades:
"We ...... You shouldn't be looking for the wrong place, right? ”
The Demon Crossing Hades did not speak.
It had always been a legend to him.
Ever since Jiang Ran pushed open the door with brute force, he felt that this place was not the same as the legendary place......
Therefore, in the face of Jiang Ran's doubts.
He could only respond with silence.
For fear that if he said another unreliable word, he would be slapped to death by Jiang Ran with an ear scraper.
But in the face of the words of the Demon Venerable, as a subordinate, he really couldn't help but answer......
When I was struggling, there was a bend in the road in front of me.
The moment I turned around, my vision suddenly opened up.
It's a huge underground river.
The river rumbled to an unknown place.
But above this river, I don't know how high, there is a stone bridge.
This stone bridge is similar to the stone bridge on the Ten Thousand Poison Pit in the Ten Thousand Poison Cave...... It's narrower, longer, and more dangerous.
Two people can't get over it side by side, they can only spread out and pass one by one.
And at the end of the stone bridge...... It's a city!
A city deep underground!
It is entrenched in the cave, like a dormant beast, quietly waiting for those who do not know whether they are alive or dead, to come and seek death......
"This ......"
All Jiang Ran's questions can only go to see the Demon Crossing Hades.
The Demon Crossing King looked at the city in the distance, and after a long time, he suddenly slapped his head:
"That's right!
"Demon Kingdom!!
"This is the real Demon Kingdom!!"
Jiang Ran was about to ask, but Tang Shiqing seemed to have remembered something, and said:
"Legend has it that the collapse of the demon kingdom in the past was deliberately done by the lord of the country.
"My Demon Sect can't use the country as a cage and lock its own heart...... Heavenly demons are at ease, and they should not be bound by government affairs, they should relax their minds and feel the nature of heaven and earth. ”
“……”
Jiang Ran felt that this sentence was suspected of beautifying himself.
If you want to say who is the hardest in the world?
That's probably the emperor.
I have to get up before dawn, hold court meetings, criticize excerpts, and get angry with the minister.
After finishing and having some food, you have to continue to make folds...... Endless excerpts, endless work.
You can't take it easy all day.
It was easy to stay up until the evening, and a eunuch came over with a lot of signs for him to flip.
In the beginning, he was fierce and enthusiastic.
When people reach middle age, they are tired and dizzy after a day's work, and they have to consider going to the harem to make a lot of effort...... After all, the three palaces and six courtyards are still waiting to be fed.
Of course, if the harem is peaceful, I'm afraid that the harem will not be peaceful.
Every day, either this concubine drowned, or that concubine committed a taboo, either the prince was stillborn, or the prince died early.
After dealing with the major affairs of the court, I still have to deal with the turmoil and treachery of the harem.
Of course, that's fine...... The problem is that even if the court and the harem are all handled diligently, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no rebellion against the people.
Today the sky is dead here, and tomorrow there will be an uprising......
The most important thing is that it is 365 days a year, all year round.
It's devastating to think about.
Jiang Ran privately thought that the reason why the lord of the Demon Kingdom said that he couldn't let the Heavenly Demon be bound by the state was mostly because he couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to pick on him.
This made this huge demon kingdom fall apart.
Of course, these things are also what Jiang Ran himself pondered in his heart.
After all, the tragic situation of the eldest princess replacing the golden cicada emperor at that time is still vivid.
The princess was almost tired and crying.
This is still on the basis that she doesn't have to appease the harem......
The difficulties can be seen.
How did Tang Shiqing know that Jiang Ran had thought about so many things at this moment.
To continue:
"The collapse of the demon kingdom is due to the will of the lord of the country.
"But the traitor is also real...... In order to ensure that my Demon Sect faces a life-and-death crisis in the future, I have no power to fight back.
"That's why the lord of the country hid that divine weapon that was enough to change the heavens and the earth...... And built an underground demon kingdom.
"It's just that it has been passed down to this day, and many people only remember that magic weapon, and forget that there is also a matter of the demon kingdom.
"If I hadn't seen it today, I'm afraid I wouldn't have remembered it, and there is this legend."
"Exactly!!"
The Demon Crossing Hades King nodded hurriedly:
"After all, compared to the divine soldiers, this demon kingdom is really not worth mentioning.
"Moreover, it is said to be a demon country, but it is actually an empty city.
"It's just that the divine soldiers are hiding in the city, and the gateway to this demon country is opened...... It is precisely the blood that needs to be honored in this vein that can be done.
"So the door outside isn't really a door at all.
"Cross this stone bridge and go to the door before the gate of the Demon Kingdom, which is the real portal!!"
With all that said, there is no need to say anything more.
Jiang Ran took the lead, came to the stone bridge, stepped on the stone bridge, and then turned around and said:
"Be careful when crossing the bridge, this stone bridge is above the dark river, it is infected by moisture, and there is a lot of moss on it, and it is extremely slippery.
"Don't stand firm, don't fall, otherwise, once you are swept away by the dark river, I am afraid that there will be no chance of survival."
Although it is said that along the underground river, it is possible to survive in a desperate situation.
But this probability is too low.
On the contrary, it is possible to get involved in an underground cave, fall to your death, or fall into the magma, which is considered fate.
I'm afraid of getting involved in a place where there is no way to heaven and no way to the earth, that is the real despair.
Everyone nodded when they heard this, indicating that they understood.
But Jiang Ran was still not at ease.
In fact, Jiang Ran has never felt that he is suspicious by nature, but since he was deceived by his father-in-law and them, it has become a habit to think about things more and ponder more.
Be cautious and be prepared.
So he took off his coat, tore it into pieces, and twisted them into rope.
Tie each other's belts together.
His clothes alone are a little insufficient, but fortunately, the Demon King Azhuo and Ana, are there, and the coats of the four of them are removed, and a big rope is really made.
Bringing everyone together in one place.
Then Jiang Ran let Tang Shiqing go first, followed by Tang Huayi, Ye Jingshuang, Ye Jingxue and the eldest princess.
Behind the eldest princess is Jiang Ran.
After that, there is Azhuo, Ana, and finally the Demon Crossing Hades.
In this way, Jiang Ran is in the middle and can prevent the unexpected.
After making these preparations, everyone stepped onto the stone bridge one by one.
Everyone present had extraordinary martial arts, and although the stone bridge was slippery, it was basically difficult for them.
Jiang Ran also instructed everyone not to look down.
The turbulent water seems to have a huge attraction in the eyes, and it will make people involuntarily pour towards the water.
But once you fall into it, it's basically over.
Tang Huayi said with a smile:
"You say, how can there be such a big river underground?
"It's like a giant dragon guarding the underground demon kingdom!
"Isn't there really a dragon in this river?
"When we got to the stone bridge, it suddenly came out and ate us all!?"
"If you want to eat, you will eat!"
Ye Jingxue listened to the trouble:
"We are so kind, how can they eat us?"
"Then you're wrong."
Tang Huayi said with a glance:
"If it was the dragon raised by the former lord of my Demon Kingdom in this river, then he would naturally be able to recognize the identity of our Demon Sect disciples.
"We're all family, and naturally it won't eat us.
"But you're a decent person, so maybe you're going to be to its liking."
Ye Jingxue was even more unconvinced:
"It's been so many years, and even if you really raise a dragon, it won't know you.
"Which one can you tell which one is the Demon Cult? Which is the right way?
"When the time comes, see that you have fine skin and tender meat, and you are chewing it with your mouth closed...... Tsk......"
Tang Huayi blinked, and then shouted to Jiang Ran:
"Brother-in-law, your little lover bullied me!!"
Ye Jingxue was furious:
"Don't talk nonsense, what's a little lover?"
"You two are honest with each other every night...... It's not his little lover, who is that? ”
Tang Huayi couldn't say anything, and began to change the topic, and planned to mess around.
Ye Jingxue was speechless for a while.
She was rescued by Jiang Ran and refined the medicinal power in her body, didn't she see each other frankly every night?
At this time, Tang Huayi said it, and he was ashamed and angry for a while:
"You ...... again"
Before he finished speaking, he heard a click.
For a moment, his face turned white with fright.
I saw a crack on the stone bridge, and the crack began to spread at a very fast speed.
"Not good!!"
Jiang Ran's face changed, and the crack spread extremely fast, almost in the blink of an eye, it had already covered all the stone bridges under everyone's feet.
And this is not yet to the most delicate part of this stone bridge.
Jiang Ran raised his eyes and took a deep breath:
"Hold on!!
"Breathe with me, and exert force at the same time!!"
His voice fell, and his foot immediately rose into the air.
It was an extremely risky decision, and the distance was about half of the entire stone bridge.
If Jiang Ran is alone, he can reach the other side with a kung fu of ups and downs.
However, at this moment, there are a full eight people hanging on him!
In such a situation, he can only ask everyone to help him.
As Jiang Ran jumped up, poetic, frost and snow, the eldest princess, as well as the Demon Crossing Hades and Ana, all followed Jiang Ran's strength, and in an instant, everyone present was already in mid-air.
Only Ah Zhuo's understanding of Jiang Ran is still shallow, he heard what he said, but he didn't understand it too much.
When everyone rose in the air and he was also brought up, the whole person was a little blindfolded.
At the same time, the stone bridge under his feet suddenly collapsed, and all the rubble fell into the water and was swept away by the current.
Jiang Ran didn't dare to delay, and with a turn of internal breath, he turned around in mid-air, grabbed the rope around his waist with both hands, and indulged in the flowing body, and went straight to the other side.
Flying through the air, all the way forward, I saw the stone bridge under my feet crumbling inch by inch, and the stones fell into the tumbling dark river without the slightest wave.
As soon as the stone bridge was broken, it was not just a small section that they stepped on.
Instead, it spreads to the sides.
Jiang Ran's speed of indulging in the streamer was indeed slower than he expected.
The figure gradually fell, seeing that the feet were empty, if they fell like this, I was afraid that everyone would have to fall into the dark river together.
I don't know how deep the dark river is, and no one can say whether it can still struggle up if it falls into it.
At this moment, Tang Shiqing suddenly shouted:
"Why don't you hurry!?"
Jiang Ran knew that something was wrong when he heard this, and when he looked down, he saw Tang Huayi pulling the rope in his hand, but Tang Shiqing suddenly pulled it hard, and then flew out of his hand.
"Sister!!"
Tang Huayi's face turned pale, and he hurriedly reached out to catch it, but how could he catch it?
In mid-air, Tang Shilover took advantage of this force to go straight to the river.
"Use my strength!!"
Jiang Ran's face darkened:
"Nonsense!!"
Tang Shiqing's original intention was to let Jiang Ran step on her foot and use her strength to continue to move forward.
However, how could Jiang Ran act like this?
Until the two of them collided in one place, Jiang Ran shouted in a deep voice:
"Hold me, I have my own way."
Tang Shiqing's face changed, and in a moment's time, he could already see from Jiang Ran's eyes that he was by no means a joke, and it was impossible for him to use himself as a pedal.
He immediately sighed and reached out to wrap his arms around Jiang Ran's neck.
Immediately after, his face turned red.
Just because at this moment of life and death, Jiang Ran secretly bit her ear.
Without waiting for Tang Shiqing to react, Jiang Ran's figure turned around:
"Hold it tight."
Tang Shiqing hugged Jiang Ran with all her might, and her limbs were wrapped around him.
I saw Jiang Ran suddenly shouting angrily!
The rolling sound fell violently, and the turbulent water suddenly rushed out of a column of water.
Jiang Ran flew up and stepped on the water column, this weak force was enough for him to rise from the ground again when he reached Jiang Ran's feet.
Between the ups and downs, the toes were clicked again, and they had already stepped on the half-cut stone bridge.
The collapse of the stone bridge had stopped at this point, Jiang Ran borrowed his strength to rise again, and when it fell, he had already arrived in front of the gate of the underground demon kingdom.
The people on both sides fell to the ground, but Tang Shiqing was still hanging on Jiang Ran's waist.
Jiang Ran subconsciously wanted to slap her on the ass and let her act recklessly at the moment of crisis......
But consider that there are still outsiders around.
Then he put his hands on her waist and put her on the ground.
This escape from death is really terrifying.
Tang Shiqing was down-to-earth, and when she looked at Jiang Ran again, her face turned red:
"I ...... I was wrong......"
"Know it's wrong?"
Jiang Ran glanced at her angrily:
"If I use your life as a pedal, how can I sleep peacefully for the rest of my life, even if I live by it?
"That's how you behave...... How unreasonable! ”
"I see...... Don't be angry. ”
Tang Shiqing gently tugged on Jiang Ran's sleeve.
Jiang Ran took a deep breath, where is he angry, he is afraid.
couldn't help but glance at Tang Huayi again.
Tang Huayi hurriedly said:
"That's it, sister, you're too reckless to do this.
"If you have something long and short, my brother-in-law will not be at ease in his life."
Tang Shiqing couldn't help but glared at Tang Huayi.
Jiang Ran still felt a little frightened at this time, he had been roaming the rivers and lakes for a long time, and it was really rare to be able to make him so shocked.
With his eyes swept over everyone, he saw Ye Jingxue biting his lip and saying:
"Don't blame them, it's all my fault......
"If it weren't for the sinking under my feet, the stone wouldn't have shattered."
"If I hadn't argued with you, it might have been fine."
唐画意 says:
"So it's my fault."
"Brother Jiang, don't blame them......"
Ye Jingshuang said to Jiang Ran:
"It's good that everyone is okay......"
The more Jiang Ran listened, the darker his face became, why did you do it for a long time, after a life and death crisis, you fell in love with each other?
And how can you let yourself stop blaming this, don't blame that?
Do I like to blame you guys?
Isn't it because you're not worrying!?
Most importantly, are you blaming yourself?
This is simply a scary!
Seeing that the eldest princess was also going to plead.
Jiang Ran hurriedly waved his hand:
"Okay, okay, it's okay.
"Actually, if you think about it carefully, our method of crossing the bridge is still a bit reckless.
"Now it seems that the bridge simply can't bear the weight of all of us.
"But now is not the time for us to talk about responsibility here......"
As he spoke, he looked at the door not far away.
He looked back at the road and said softly:
"Now that there is no way back, just look at what's in this door."
As he spoke, he took a step forward and reached out to press his hand against the door.
Push a little hard...... The gate did not move at all, and no matter how hard it tried, there was no response.
Jiang Ran didn't believe in this evil a little, and his internal breath strengthened little by little, and the door gradually made a tooth-aching sound.
But even if it was about to be twisted and deformed, it never had the slightest intention of opening.
Jiang Ran thought for a moment, withdrew his palm, and nodded slightly:
"It's true that there are some doorways ......"
It is said to be a city, but it is not that big, and there is no entrance to it except this door.
There was a palm-sized dent on the door, as if he wanted Jiang Ran to press his palm up.
