In the dim and narrow cave corridor, there are falling rocks everywhere, and the smoke and dust and debris are scattered and rising.

A figure with purple flames around him rushed from the depths of the cave, and all the falling rocks in his path were pierced by him.

His speed and defense turned him into a silver drill that was rampaging through this dimly lit cavern.

Along the way, the stones were broken and the road was broken, and the obstacles were about to collapse at the touch of a button, even if there was a strong man of nearly two hundred catties in his hand, it did not affect his indomitable speed at all.

The narrow road was quickly crossed by him half the distance, and at this time, there was a rumbling sound of mountain collapse behind him, Xu Yue turned his head to look, only to see that the entire road behind him had been completely buried by the mountain.

After more than ten seconds of caching, the cracked cave finally could not withstand the huge pressure of the mountain above, and began to collapse like a flood bursting its banks.

Starting from a wide cave deep in the mountain, an immeasurable torrent of rocks fills all the space in the cave and gradually expands rapidly along the entire length of the road.

The torrent behind him was approaching, but Xu Yue's rushing footsteps stopped abruptly, the faint black light that bloomed outside the scale combat boots under his feet dissipated, and the effect of the swift blessing was quietly turned off, and instead the golden-red pure yang flame continued to gush out from his body and envelop his body.

The speed of the mountain collapse was too fast, it was basically impossible for him to escape at the normal speed, once he was suppressed by this countless torrent of earth and rock, even with his defensive power, it would be the consequence of nine deaths.

"Zhixia!"

A low shout sounded in the corridor, followed by a brilliant fire burst out of the golden red flames, and the mana in his body quickly fell, turning into endless fireworks gushing out behind him.

"Wow!"

There was a phoenix bird chirping in the corridor, and in the next moment, Xu Yue's entire body turned into a flame meteor and shot out.

The dim and chaotic corridor was pierced by a long line of fire, and all the earth and rocks around it were often melted into magma by the terrifying temperature before they could get close to the line of fire.

………

Outside the caves, Snake Valley.

As the sun set at night, the silence of the Snake Valley was broken by a violent roar that came from within the peaks of the outer edge of the Snake Valley, and after the spread and rebound of the cave, the roar became long and thick.

It was like a vicious demon suppressed at the bottom of the peak, and now it was roaring and roaring wildly, and its sound was terrifying.

The demon's roar lasted for more than ten breaths before slowly dissipating in the Snake Valley, and then there was a muffled thunderous sound, and the thunder went from slightly low to deafening.

After a few seconds, the largest peak on the inner side of the Snake Valley began to shake, and gradually increased in amplitude until it collapsed with a bang.

It seems that the roaring beast from before, in its frantic struggle, finally completely destroyed the peak that suppressed him.

The movement of the landslide and ground cracking spread to almost all areas within a radius of 100 miles, and the heavy force of a peak collapsing inward drove a large area of the vicinity to begin to tremble slightly, directly triggering a small earthquake.

With the epicenter of the Snake Valley as the center, the tremors continue to spread outward through the best conductor of the earth, and the most obvious consequence is the riot of the beasts.

On the ground, thousands of beasts began to flee away from the epicenter, and in the sky was a flock of birds that covered the clouds with black pressure, and although they did not flee as frantically as the beasts, none of them dared to land.

The wrath of the earth was first detected by the perceptive beasts, and two waves of restless and fleeing beasts from heaven and earth were formed.

The tremor was still spreading, and soon it spread to Xingyang City in the distance, and the tremor of the earth was extremely slight at this time, although for those civilians with shallow martial arts, they didn't feel much abnormality, but for those martial arts powerhouses in the city, it was very easy to detect.

Less than three seconds after the vibration reached Xingyang City, one after another figures had appeared in various high places in the city, looking in the direction of Snake Valley in the distance, with different expressions on their faces.

Xingyang City, the mansion of the city lord.

As the most magnificent and lofty building in the entire city, there are also two people standing on the eaves of the main building of the mansion at this time.

The first person was dressed in a navy green robe, with an auspicious cloud brocade belt around his waist, a dark topaz heng on his left, and a black sword on his right, with a solemn face and a long beard on his chin, and he looked majestic.

Half a body behind on the left side was a guard in neat armor, holding a straight knife with a ring head, and the smell of blood lingering all over his body.

"That's the location of Snake Valley, right?"

The middle-aged man in the navy green robe looked in the direction of the northern wilderness, and his eyes seemed to have a deep meaning.

After listening to the middle-aged man's question, the armored guards in the rear responded respectfully:

"It's the direction of the Snake Valley, Lord Taishou."

"Half a month ago, the news of the birth of the suspected snake demon king came from the snake valley, and a week ago the shadow organization confirmed that the news was true, the snake demon king was born in the northern suburbs, gathering hundreds of snake demons from the three major tribes in the snake valley, the strength is strong, the first hundred assassins entered the assassination, but one died and one was seriously injured."

"Now, after General Xue has dealt with the Fengshan Tiger Demon Rebellion, he will lead his troops to encircle and suppress Snake Valley in three days."

After the guard answered a piece of information related to Snake Valley, he was silent, in fact, the middle-aged man knew all this information very well, after all, the order to encircle and suppress Snake Valley was issued by him personally, but for his subordinates, he asked questions, and he should answer in detail.

After listening to the guard's answer, the middle-aged man nodded lightly, and his eyes moved away from the direction of the northern suburbs, and turned to look at the location of the hidden street in the city.

"I'm afraid I don't have to wait for three days, such a big movement, immediately send someone to investigate."

"Whoa!"

"Also, go check if the Shadow Organization has recently taken over the mission of Snake Valley, I think this matter is also related to them."

"Whoa!"

…………

Just as the middle-aged man on the eaves of the main building looked at the top of the third floor of the Hidden Street Assassin Tavern.

A wealthy man in a feather fur seemed to be aware of it, interrupted the conversation with the woman next to him, and suddenly turned his head to look at the direction of the City Lord's Mansion.

"Pavilion master, is anyone peeping?"

Gu Yu's question sounded in his ears, and the man known as the owner of the pavilion shook his head slightly, then turned around and looked back at the northern suburbs outside the city, where a flock of birds connected into a black line in the sky was already faintly visible.

"When did the fire leave the city?"

"Pavilion Master, it's about the hour."

"...... of the hour"

The owner muttered softly, looked at the flock of birds that gradually became clear in the distance, and suddenly sighed softly.

"It seems that we, the new members of the organization, are really not good at stubble, and the first mission made such a movement that affected the entire city."

"The tree is thick and short, and it is difficult to tie the horse, the river is wide and shallow, and it is difficult to raise dragons, and our small Xingyang City will most likely not be able to keep this lord for long."

"Arrange for people to secretly go to Snake Valley to investigate, and secondly, if you find that the fire has entered the city, you should go to the entrance of the hidden street and wait."

"Yes!"

Gu Yu responded, and was about to retreat, but was stopped by the hall owner.

"If he really kills the Basilisk King, then take him to Neku."

"Yes!"

……………

The wilderness in the northern suburbs, the snake valley that affects the thoughts of the major forces in Xingyang City.

Just as the peak was about to collapse completely, a ray of fire flew out of the swarthy cave in the middle of the peak, heading straight for the sky.

"Wow!!"

After the firelight broke away from the hole, it quickly unfolded, and the fireworks at the tail continued to expand to both sides, forming a gorgeous wide flame tail, like the wings of a red bird, and the crisp cry of a phoenix bird sounded in the void.

The flame phoenix bird flew higher and higher in the air, without the slightest tendency to stop slowing down, and the flame tail behind continued to extend, bringing out a touch of golden-red Changhong, like the glow of the sky.

"Scatter!"

A low cry came from inside the high-flying phoenix bird, and the phoenix bird, which was already close to the clouds, stopped rushing upward, and the lingering golden red flames outside dispersed, revealing the silver figure wrapped in it, falling straight from the sky.

The sound of the wind was whistling in his ears, and the fierce wind brought by the rapid fall blew Xu Yue's big wind into a hunting sound, and his hair was also fluttering upwards.

Falling rapidly from a height close to the clouds, the strong stimulation of weightlessness made his heart beat a little faster.

After a few seconds of free fall in the air, Xu Yue, who was still carrying a strong man in his hand, stabilized his figure, and pieces of metal plates flew out of the space, and then automatically flew to his feet for relief.

The crisp cracking sound of metal sounded from the sky one after another, and after four or five metal plates collapsed in a row, the speed of Xu Yue's fall finally eased to a normal level.

Another metal plate appeared on the sole of his feet, but this time the metal plate was not broken again, but firmly supported Xu Yue's figure, and he also fell all the way from a height of thousands of meters to a distance of 100 meters above the ground.
