Chapter 104 Underground Palace 8

There is a tiger in the stone gate, hideous and fierce, although the relief is not huge, but a tiger head is carved lifelike, and it has its own awe-inspiring majesty. Shen Shi looked at the stone carved tiger head for a moment, and suddenly felt a little familiar, and thought about it carefully, but he remembered that this pattern seemed to be somewhat similar to the totem of a red tiger demon clan that he had seen when he was still in the demon world.

The Red Tiger Demon Clan, in the end, was under the fierce attack of the Azure Snake Demon Clan led by Yulin, and finally broke down and wiped out the clan, except for a very small number of escaped fish, all the adult warriors and the older tribal teenagers were almost all killed by the Azure Snake Demon Clan.

The tribal wars within the demon clan have always been so cruel, which may not be understood by most of the human races that now occupy a dominant position in the Hongmeng realm. To be honest, Shen Shi actually felt a little confused about this, so when he came back from the Demon Realm and when his life stabilized, whenever he had the opportunity to go to the book sea in the Lingxiao Sect to read, Shen Shi would pay attention to the records in this regard.

But what surprised him was that according to the records in the ancient scrolls and books from the Heavenly Demon King Court era collected in the Lingxiao Sect's book, when the demon clan was strong, in addition to the high status of the demon emperor and his high position on weekdays, the vast majority of low-level demon clans had disputes and conflicts on weekdays, but they had never had any such tragic and harsh infighting, let alone the situation of exterminating the clan at every turn.

It seems that in the past 10,000 years, not only has the human race undergone earth-shaking changes, but the remnants of the demon race that have closed themselves in the demon world seem to have undergone some strange changes that no one knows, and they have become the appearance of many tribes in the demon world fighting with each other today.

Thinking a little far, Shen Shi shook his head and retracted his thoughts, and his eyes fell back to the tiger head stone carving in front of him, only to see that most of the lifelike tiger heads were made of the same stone as the surrounding stone gates, but in the place of the two eyes, there were two gems with a dark brown color that flowed brightly.

The brilliance of the gem flickered gently, and it looked a little like it had vitality, like two real eyes, staring at the world outside the stone gate.

Shen Shi looked at the tiger's head for a long time, and tried to reach out and touch the gem at the tiger's eye in the middle, but neither Shimen nor this tiger's head had any reaction. Think about it, such a heavy and thick stone door locks this passage, of course, it is impossible to put the mechanism that opens the door on the door like this, otherwise anyone can open the door and enter it by pressing this tiger head, so what is the point of this door?

Shen Shi took a step back slightly, his brows furrowed slightly, and a thoughtful look flashed in his eyes. With his current Taoism, if he can't find a way to open the door or some kind of key, he is afraid that he will not be able to open such an extremely heavy stone door, and at this moment, another thought also comes to his mind:

There was only one path for him to walk through this passage, and this stone gate blocked all the gaps in the road ahead, and no matter how you looked at it, this stone door did not look like it had been opened. In other words, the biggest reason why Shen Shi tracked all the way here, Zhong Qinglu, was probably not on this road at the moment, not in the passage inside and outside this stone gate.

Maybe behind the door is the real demon labyrinth, maybe behind the door there may be the treasures and spiritual materials hidden by the demon clan in the past, but obviously, in addition to these most beautiful things, there is also a great possibility, it should be behind the door Maybe there is a vast expanse of fierce ghosts and demon beasts, just waiting for the stone door to open, and then they rushed up and devoured Shen Shi and Xiao Hei together.

The gap between these two results is too big, there is really a world of difference, and in Shen Shi's opinion, it seems that no matter what, it is much more likely that it is the latter. Over the years, he still remembers what his father Shen Tai said on the day he was separated from him, maybe the words are a little different, but the truth is the same:

There are hundreds of millions of people in this world, all living beings, luck can't fall on your head so well, even if you go through shit luck once or twice in your life, but who dares to guarantee that it will be the case every time?

Luck is always someone else's good! The best choice is to be down-to-earth and down-to-earth.

Over the years, Shen Shi has been doing this, and at this moment, his mind has not changed at all.

So he quickly turned around, greeted Xiao Hei, and walked back directly to the way he came.

The stone door is closed and no one passes, so it is almost impossible for Zhong Qinglu to disappear from here, and the first priority for Shen Shi at the moment is of course to find Zhong Qinglu as soon as possible, which is also the most important reason why he took Xiao Hei to venture deep into this underground labyrinth. Since there was no one here, he certainly had no intention of racking his brains to open the door.

As his departed figure faded away, silence regained in the passage, and the stone gate stood quietly here, as if it were a stoic and persistent guard, guarding the secrets of the dungeon for thousands of years. Only on the stone gate, in the eyes of the tiger head pattern, two glittering gems flowed, and it seemed that no matter where Shen Shi went or where he passed, his back could be faintly seen in this pair of tiger eyes, just like real eyes.

※※※

On the way over, Shen Shi once passed a fork in the road, in addition to the road that came from the earliest, there were two forks, one was to this stone gate, and the other was a completely dark and strange road.

Although I don't like that kind of smell very much, but in the current situation, it is very likely that Zhong Qinglu, who is obviously missing, has been taken to that fork in the road. Shen Shi strode back, this time the choice seemed to be really completely wrong, it was delayed for a long time, even Shen Shi's heart was a little anxious.

Qinglu her...... Don't let anything happen.

The sound of footsteps, it didn't take long for Shen Shi's eyes to appear with that golden brilliance again, and he once again walked to the side of the strange golden fetal stone rough.

His steps slowed down subconsciously, but then he seemed to wake up, and soon he took a deep breath, stopped looking at the stone, and strode past the golden fetal stone.

Xiao Hei followed behind Shen Shi, and he looked a little reluctant, and seemed to be very, very interested in this golden fetal stone, but there was no way, Shen Shi went too fast and it had secretly tried before, so in the end, this little black pig who was a little greedy still had no choice but to keep up with Shen Shi's pace and went all the way.

After walking like this for a while, Shen Shi took Xiao Hei back to the intersection of the three forks in the road, this time Shen Shi walked straight to the dark passage, but then he made a new discovery, this dark passage seemed to be different from the road with light, there were no floor tiles and no patterns, there were gravel and mud everywhere, and the road also restored the uneven situation, which was somewhat similar to the section of the road that Shen Shi walked when he came.

Shen Shi looked at this road carefully, and after a while, suddenly his heart jumped, but he found that at the beginning of this passage, it looked like a hole, and it was obvious that it was from this originally complete underground passage, that is, from the stone wall of the passage leading to the direction of the stone door, somehow someone had forced a big hole out of it, and it was a fork in the road.

Darkness was wafting in this mysterious passage, full of mystery and unpredictable danger, Shen Shi looked at the size of the cave that was far higher and several times larger than himself, and the muscles in the corners of his eyes twitched slightly, but he finally took a breath, and then walked over.

Xiao Hei snorted and followed.

This road looks dark and extraordinarily long, and he doesn't know where it will lead in the end, but in Shen Shi's heart, who was walking in the darkness and slowly burning that flame at the same time, he suddenly had an inexplicable premonition, this road may also lead to the mysterious demon clan underground palace, and ...... Since one of the tunnel walls of the labyrinth can be broken at the beginning of the path, is it possible that at the end of the road, this dark path can also lead directly to the interior of the dungeon?

Zhong Qinglu, will he just wait for him there?
