The brown pheasant was busy talking to Fang Chaozhou and didn't pay much attention to its surroundings. In addition, they were flying on swords, so it turned out that the brown pheasant was running on the ground and was not familiar with the scenery above.

Only then did it notice something was wrong.

"We can't fly forward any further!" the brown pheasant shouted, "That guy is sealed up ahead, we can't go there!"

"What guy?" Sixth Junior Brother turned around and asked.

The feathers of the brown pheasant were all standing on end, and it was obviously in a state of panic. "Are we close to the center of the underground demon realm? There has always been a legend about the underground demon realm. Legend has it that there is a very powerful thing here. It is sealed in the center of the underground demon realm. Anyone or any demon beast that approaches it will die."

The four people present heard its words. The eldest brother immediately said, "Change the way."

They wanted to change direction, but the demon cultivators behind them caught up with them. Although they had injured or killed many of the other side, there were still more than a dozen demon cultivators, which was still more than them, and their cultivation was also not low.

When they saw Fang Chaozhou and his four companions trying to change direction, they blocked them instantly. Their attack was so fierce that the eldest brother tried to dissuade them and told those evil cultivators what the brown pheasant had said.

However, the demon cultivators did not believe it and sneered, "Do you think we are fools? You are just making up a story. For so many years, no one has ever said that something is sealed here."

The brown pheasant was so angry that he kept shouting: "You haven't heard it, that's because all the people and monsters that encountered it died!"

"Stop talking nonsense. Don't even think about escaping today. You killed so many of our brothers, you must pay with blood." The leading Nascent Soul late stage demon cultivator glanced at Fang Chaozhou and the other three. When he saw the eldest brother and the sixth junior brother, he sneered, "Kill these two, and tie the other two back for the sect master and the young master to enjoy. Even if you are disciples of the Tianshui Sect, what does it matter? Can Zhongli Yueshui come here to save you? Even if he comes, his cultivation will be suppressed. If he fights, we will kill him today."

Li Zhu had the lowest cultivation level, and when he flew over, he had already started to attack again. He wanted those evil cultivators to stop, but they would no longer listen to the young sect master's words.

In this way, Fang Chaozhou and his four companions had no way to retreat and were forced closer and closer to the center of the underground demon realm. Those demon cultivators followed closely and caught up.

When the Brown Pheasant saw the surrounding environment, it raised its wings and covered its head, "It's over, it's over, I'm dead!"

As soon as it finished speaking, rustling sounds were heard everywhere, startling everyone. Almost at the same time, a demon cultivator suddenly fell to the ground and was quickly dragged in a certain direction. When everyone looked closely, they found that there was a vine on the ankle of the demon cultivator who was dragged away.

The people from the Dark Soul Sect quickly went to rescue, but countless vines emerged from everywhere and quickly wrapped around everyone present. The demon cultivator who was dragged away first was able to chop the vines with his sword and burn them with magic, but soon the vines entangled him tighter and tighter. His blood instantly dyed the green vines red, and a long blood mark was left on the ground where he was dragged away.

That evil cultivator was a Jindan cultivator, but he died in just a moment. The scene was truly horrifying. Everyone looked at each other and saw fear in each other's eyes. They had no intention of fighting anymore and just wanted to leave this obviously wrong place as soon as possible.

Fang Chaozhou hurriedly dodged a vine, but another vine came from his side. He hurriedly took out his sword to resist, but the vine rolled his sword away. In a hurry, he could only take out the celadon umbrella.

As soon as he got the celadon umbrella in his hand, Fang Chaozhou found that it was much more useful than his sword. With a slight turn of his wrist, countless green needles immediately flew out of the celadon umbrella, nailing the vines to the spot. But there were too many vines, too numerous to count. Once you nailed one, there would be four or five more coming at the same time.

The usually majestic brown pheasant was extremely frightened at this moment, and buried its head under its wings, being held by Fang Chaozhou. It was a demon beast, and was probably suppressed by the aura of the big demon sealed here, and dared not move at all.

"No, there are too many vines. If we continue like this, we will definitely die here." The eldest brother shouted.

The sixth junior brother asked, "Where did these ghost vines come from? Do we need to cut down a tree nearby?"

This sentence seemed to have inspired the Dark Soul Sect's cultivators. While avoiding the vines, they frantically chopped down the surrounding trees. As soon as they chopped, the vines instantly became more ferocious, and Fang Chaozhou felt a strong sense of foreboding as he watched their actions.

The original novel did not mention that anything was sealed in the underground demon realm.

He couldn't help but look up. The underground demon realm was covered with yellow-green fireflies. They were densely packed like gathered stars, but at this moment these stars seemed to be moving downwards and dispersing.

As he glanced, his wrist holding the celadon umbrella was suddenly entangled, and at the same time, a sword flashed.

It’s Xue Danrong.

He used the Broken Water Sword to cut off the vines that were wrapped around Fang Chaozhou's wrists and whispered, "Stand next to me."

Fang Chaozhou didn't dare to be distracted anymore, but the feeling of uneasiness in his heart became stronger and stronger. Seeing the actions of the evil cultivator, the eldest brother and the sixth junior brother also chose to chop down trees. When most of the surrounding trees had fallen, the growth of the vines gradually slowed down.

This sign seemed to give them hope of life, and they cut down trees even more vigorously.

Fang Chaozhou could see the fireflies without even looking up. It was not an illusion, the fireflies really flew down and surrounded everyone present, as if dancing around them.

Fang Chaozhou felt even more uneasy and couldn't help but shout, "Stop cutting. The vines have slowed down. Let's quickly..." and leave.

Before he could finish his words, the ground began to shake, gently at first, and then gradually intensified, until even small cracks appeared on the ground they were standing on. In an instant, with a dull sound, a large piece of the ground collapsed, and a huge pit appeared out of nowhere on the open ground. Everyone was caught off guard, and even if they reacted quickly, they wanted to fly up as the pit collapsed. However, the vines that were about to die down suddenly became ten times more ferocious than before, and instantly wrapped around their legs and dragged them down.

As they dragged it downwards, the sinking fireflies instantly surrounded the hole above, filling it up so densely that they could even hear the sound of the fireflies crawling on their companions.

“Click, click—”

Creepy.

A demon cultivator saw the swarm of fireflies above, gritted his teeth and rushed upwards, but as soon as he reached the cave entrance, a group of fireflies surrounded him and instantly crawled all over his body. Then, when the group of fireflies dispersed, only his clothes fell to the ground.

The person is gone.

This scene was even more terrifying than the previous one where people were strangled by vines.

Fang Chaozhou was an ordinary person in the first twenty years of his life. Even after traveling through the book for more than two years, he had never seen such a chilling scene. He stared blankly at the clothes on the ground, and someone next to him held his hand.

She held his hand tightly, and although her tone was more nervous than before, it could be considered calm. "Don't be afraid, I will definitely let you get out alive."

Upon hearing this, Fang Chaozhou couldn't help but look at the person next to him. Although there was blood on the other person's face, it did not conceal her beauty at all. Her phoenix eyes were still incredibly beautiful and were staring at him at this moment.

"Of course we can get out alive."

After all, he is an important stock and should be able to get out alive. However, the plot line is obviously messed up now, and what they are experiencing now is not mentioned at all in the book.

The book describes an underground demon realm just to allow Xue Danrong to upgrade. Xue Danrong also signs a contract with the ancient mythical beast Qilin cub here.

The Kirin cubs haven't appeared yet.

But as soon as he finished speaking, a voice suddenly rang out. It was impossible to tell whether it was a man or a woman, and the voice was extremely hoarse and unpleasant.

"Go out? That's wishful thinking. I haven't seen a living person for a long time. I have eaten living souls. Those I have seen in the past were all useless. I didn't expect that this time there would be one... no, two people with decent qualifications."

Upon hearing this, Xue Danrong immediately used his body to block Fang Chaozhou, but they could not tell where the sound came from.

"Oh, you're still protecting me. You two don't need to protect each other. I'll eat you both later."

When Fang Chaozhou heard this, he realized belatedly that the one person whose qualifications were worth looking at was him.

After the sound of that thing disappeared, thick fog suddenly emerged from the surroundings. The fog seemed to seep out from the wall, first gathering into balls, then twisting into ropes, and instantly attacking everyone.

Fang Chaozhou immediately used the celadon umbrella to resist. The attacking fog was very difficult to deal with. Although it would disperse when hit by their magic weapons, it would immediately condense again. Once entangled by the fog, one would lose the power to resist and die instantly.

At this time, the eldest brother shouted sternly, "Now we are trapped, we can only join forces, everyone gather together, don't separate!"

The demon cultivators still had to protect Li Zhu, and they also knew the situation. If they continued to fight, they would all die here. If they worked together to deal with the strange creatures here, they might have a chance to survive.

Sure enough, they gathered together back to back, and the pressure suddenly decreased. Several people were responsible for forcing back the fog, while others were responsible for attacking the swarm of fireflies above.

They tried several spells and found that fireflies were afraid of fire. Immediately, they all used fire spells to attack them with fire. The burned fireflies instantly turned into ashes. It’s just that there were too many fireflies. After burning a large group, there were still more, as if they would never be burned out.

But their cultivation had been greatly consumed in the previous battle.

The brown pheasant had been curled up in Fang Chaozhou's arms before, but it finally raised its head. It looked at the fireflies above and suddenly flew out of Fang Chaozhou's arms. Its body suddenly grew dozens of times larger. It leaped hard and flew to the vicinity of the cave entrance. It opened its mouth towards the group of fireflies, and the fireflies rushed into its mouth. When its belly was bulging, it closed its mouth and flapped its wings. When it opened its mouth again, it spewed out huge flames, instantly burning all the nearby fireflies to ashes.

The brown pheasant's behavior made everyone happy. It swallowed and spit, and in an instant, half of the fireflies disappeared.

"You're looking for death!" That androgynous voice sounded again, this time with obvious anger, "You stinky bird, you think you can save my prey?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the black mist rope attacking them suddenly grew more than ten times larger, as thick as a python's waist. The joy in everyone's eyes disappeared, and they could only deal with the black mist with caution.

Fang Chaozhou had never encountered such a dangerous situation before. He could clearly feel that his hand holding the celadon umbrella was getting heavier and heavier and he was about to lose strength. If they continue like this, even if they are not entangled by the black fog, they will be exhausted to death here.

"Everything is mutually reinforcing and counteracting. I don't believe that there is no death-xue that can defeat this thing. If you want to live, find it quickly." The demon cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage spoke.

Not long after his voice fell, a demon cultivator suddenly exclaimed, "Look, there seems to be something on this wall."

After hearing his words, everyone looked at the wall and found that there was indeed something on it. Strange red patterns appeared vaguely on the wall. When the fog was thick, their color became darker, and when the fog became lighter, their color also became lighter.

"Try to destroy the wall!" someone shouted.

When Fang Chaozhou saw the strange pattern, a sense of foreboding flashed through his mind. He suddenly remembered what the brown pheasant said -

"It is said that there is a very powerful thing here, and it is sealed in the center of the underground demon realm..."

seal? Red pattern?

"No!" When Fang Chaozhou shouted, it was too late.

The four walls were shattered, and the fireflies above quickly scattered. Everyone couldn't help but feel happy, but just as they were feeling happy, they heard loud laughter.

"Hehehe, I didn't expect you guys would actually destroy this spell, how interesting."

While it was speaking, Fang Chaozhou suddenly looked down, and without time to think, he pushed Xue Danrong who was standing next to him away.

Xue Danrong was pushed away suddenly. He turned around quickly and saw that the ground where he and Fang Chaozhou were standing had cracked open, and a white mist quickly wrapped around Fang Chaozhou's ankles and dragged him down.

At the same time, the cave began to shake. No, that's not right. It was not the cave that was shaking, but the entire underground demon realm that was shaking. The scattered fireflies began to fly everywhere. They originally made no sound, but at this moment they made children's voices.

They recited a sentence in the voice of a child:

"The seal is broken, the demon realm collapses, all demons emerge, and the world is in chaos."

They all heard these words, especially the three words “the demon realm collapsed”.

As the voice fell, the surrounding stones and mud began to collapse, and the panicked voices of countless monsters resounded through the sky.

Xue Danrong was not in the mood to care about the collapse of the demon realm at this moment. He only saw Fang Chaozhou being dragged down. But at this moment, the ground shook, and the crack that swallowed Fang Chaozhou was instantly blocked by the rocks that fell down. When he flew over, he could not see the person under the crack at all, only the rocks blocking the entrance. He used magic to move those rocks away. As soon as a corner was opened, the crack appeared again, but the crack that was finally revealed was soon blocked by other fallen stones.

"Junior brother, the demon realm is about to collapse!" Someone pulled Xue Danrong back.

It’s the eldest senior brother, he wants to pull Xue Danrong up.

Xue Danrong pushed the senior brother away with his backhand. His eyes were red and he was almost on the verge of collapse. He actually used the Broken Water Sword to dig, "He's in there, he's in there!"

In just a short moment, the sword and hand were together, and the hand that could be described as beautiful as jade became covered in blood.

"There's no time left. If we stay here any longer, we will die." The sixth junior brother also rushed over and grabbed Xue Danrong, while the demon cultivators nearby were already protecting Li Zhu and preparing to leave.

Li Zhu was grabbed by several demon cultivators and taken away. He turned his head hastily, "Fang Chaozhou... Fang Chaozhou was dragged away..."

"Young Sect Master, it's too late. This place is going to collapse. If we don't get out, we'll all die here. It's okay if we die, but if something happens to you, we won't be able to explain to you even if we die."

Over there, Xue Danrong was still digging stones. He knelt on the ground, the blood on his hands dyed the stones red, "Brother, don't be afraid, I will be able to rescue you soon..."

Before he could finish his words, he was knocked unconscious.

The eldest brother forbearingly looked at the crack that was completely blocked by the stone, gritted his teeth and said one word -

"Walk!"

Fang Chaozhou, who was struggling to hold on by sticking his celadon umbrella into the wall, was dazed for a moment when he heard the noise above. During this trance, his hands lost all strength and he was dragged deeper into the cave.
