At this moment, Mu Li's eyes revealed a hint of determination.
"Then let's set off quickly. No matter how many difficulties there are, we must stop the evil cultivator from obtaining the Chaos Bell!" Mu Li said.
Mo Xi nodded slightly: "Okay, everyone get ready and set off to the demon tribe immediately."
"With so many people going, won't we become too conspicuous?" Mu Li asked.
"Indeed, our main purpose this time is to gather information, so it is not appropriate to make it public!" Xuan Yiheng said.
"Then I'll go with Ali, and you guys just stay here and keep an eye on the developments outside!" Mo Xi said after thinking for a while.
"good."
Everyone took action, each doing their own job. Mu Li and Mo Xi packed their bags and prepared to embark on a new journey.
The scenery along the way was picturesque, but they had no intention of appreciating it.
Mu Li felt a little uneasy: "Brother Mo Xi, will it be dangerous to go to the demon tribe?"
Mo Xi comforted him: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
After several days of travel, they finally arrived at the border with the demon tribe.
The barrier was emitting a mysterious light, and its powerful force was shocking.
"The power of this barrier is indeed strong. I wonder which senior created this masterpiece!" Mo Xi exclaimed.
"How do we get through this barrier?" Mu Li looked at the transparent barrier in front of her and fell into deep thought.
The two looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
At this moment, a gust of wind blew past, and a group of demon soldiers appeared on the other side of the barrier.
"Who are you? Why are you staying here?!" the leading demon soldier shouted loudly.
Mo Xi stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said, "We have no ill intentions. We are just trying to find the whereabouts of the Chaos Bell."
The demon leader sneered, "The Chaos Bell? That's not something you can covet!"
The two sides were on the verge of a fight and the atmosphere was extremely tense.
Mu Li quickly said, "We are trying to stop the demon cultivators from obtaining the Chaos Bell, so as to prevent it from endangering the world."
The demon leader hesitated for a moment. "Is this true? This is of great importance. I will report it to the Demon King."
After saying that, the demon leader turned and left.
Everyone waited there, feeling uneasy.
After a long time, the leader of the demon soldiers finally came back.
"The Demon King is willing to see you. Please put away your weapons and do not make any offensive moves." said the leader of the demon soldiers.
Mu Li and Mo Xi nodded in agreement and followed the demon soldiers into the demon tribe's territory...
Mu Li and Mo Xi followed the demon soldiers into the demon territory. Along the way, they saw many strange sights and couldn't help but marvel at the magic of the demon race. Finally, they arrived in front of a magnificent palace.
Two mighty demon generals stood at the palace gate, blocking their way. The demon leader stepped forward and exchanged a few words with the demon generals, who then gave way.
Mu Li and Mo Xi entered the palace, which was splendid and magnificent. The demon king sat on the throne. The demon king looked at them sharply and asked, "Why are you looking for the Chaos Bell?"
Mo Xi clasped his fists in greeting and told the Demon King the whole story. The Demon King was silent for a moment, then said, "The Chaos Bell is a sacred object of our demon race and must not fall into the hands of the demons. However, finding the Chaos Bell is not easy. It is sealed in an ancient ruin, which is full of traps and dangers."
"However, if you can help me solve a problem, I may consider lending you a hand." The Demon King continued.
"What trouble?" Mu Li asked.
"In the forbidden area of the demon clan, there is a sacred tree that is full of demon fruits. However, for some unknown reason, the tree suddenly withered and all the fruits fell off. I sent many demon clan members to investigate, but none of them returned. If you can find out the cause and solve this problem, I will help you find the Chaos Bell." said the Demon King.
Mu Li and Mo Xi exchanged a glance and decided to accept the mission. They bid farewell to the Demon King and embarked on a journey to the demon clan's forbidden land. Along the way, they encountered various dangers, but with their extraordinary strength and wit, they overcame them one by one. Finally, they arrived at the foot of the towering tree.
The sight before them startled them. The trunk of the tree was covered in black veins, as if eroded by some sinister force. Mu Li observed these veins carefully, a thought in her mind...
Mu Li reached out and gently touched the black lines on the tree trunk. A chill instantly washed over her. Her brow furrowed, as if she had thought of something.
"This pattern... looks like a curse from the demons!" Mu Li said.
"Demons?" Mo Xi was shocked when he heard that.
"That's right." Mu Li nodded. "I once saw a similar record in an ancient book. This curse can suck the essence of life and cause all things to wither."
"Then what should we do?" Mo Xi asked anxiously.
Mu Li pondered for a moment, a glint of determination flashing in her eyes. "The person who tied the bell must be found to untie it. We must find the caster of the curse to break it."
After that, the two began to look for clues around. After searching for a while, they found some strange footprints that extended deep into the woods.
"Let's follow and see." Mu Li said softly.
Mo Xi nodded and followed her closely.
The two men followed the footprints, keeping a vigilant eye on their surroundings. Gradually, they heard a low growl...
The sound was getting closer and closer, and Mo Xi and Mu Li finally saw the creature making the roar. It was a huge monster, covered with black scales and emitting a foul odor.
The monster lunged at them with its claws and fangs bared, and Mu Li and Mo Xi quickly dodged. Mu Li cast a spell, and a beam of light shot towards the monster, but it easily dodged it.
Seeing this, Mo Xi drew his sword and rushed towards the monster. He nimbly avoided the monster's attack and stabbed it in the abdomen with his sword.
The monster roared in pain and angrily. It raised its thick tail and swept it fiercely towards Mo Xi.
At this moment, Mu Li cast a spell again, and a transparent shield appeared in front of Mo Xi, blocking the monster's attack.
Mu Li seized the opportunity to concentrate and recite an ancient spell. As she chanted, countless glittering runes appeared in the air, falling like meteors, striking the monster.
The monster was struck by the rune and howled in pain. Its body began to tremble and its black scales gradually peeled off.
Mo Xi seized the opportunity, leaped into the air, and used all his strength to strike a fatal blow. The sword flashed, and the huge body of the monster fell to the ground with a bang.
Mu Li breathed a sigh of relief and leaned tiredly against the tree. Mo Xi walked over to her and asked with concern: "Ali, are you okay?"
Mu Li shook her head and smiled, saying, "It's okay, I'm just a little tired from over-expending my mana. Fortunately, the battle is finally over."
They looked at the dead monsters and felt a sense of accomplishment. However, they knew that the road ahead was still long and there were more challenges waiting for them.
