The once bustling streets became deserted and the houses were dilapidated, as if they had experienced a huge disaster.
"What's going on?" Xuan Bayu asked in surprise.
Mo Xi frowned, thought for a moment and said, "I'm afraid that during the time we entered the ruins, something unexpected happened outside."
Mu Li said worriedly, "We need to quickly find out what's going on and see if we can help."
Everyone began to explore around the city.
They encountered an injured old man, and Xuan Yiheng quickly stepped forward to support him: "Old man, what on earth happened here?"
The old man said weakly, "A group of demons suddenly attacked, burning, killing, looting, and committing all kinds of evil. Everyone fled for their lives."
Mu Li clenched her fists in anger: "These demons deserve to die, they must be punished!"
"Old man, what does the devil you are talking about look like?" Mo Xi asked with a frown.
"They look weird, with colorful skin, red hair and eyes, tall stature, and strange tattoos on their bodies! They are cruel and tear people into pieces!" The old man trembled involuntarily when he thought of the tragic scene at that time.
"Old man, don't be afraid, it's okay, it's okay." Mu Li comforted the old man, fed him a pill, and told him to have a good rest.
"Brother Prince, do you know something?" Mu Li asked.
"Yeah." Mo Xi said, glanced at the old man, turned and walked forward.
Seeing this, everyone hurried to follow.
"They must have encountered the demons!" Mo Xi said in a deep voice.
"What?"
"There really are demons in this world?"
Everyone's faces were filled with disbelief.
"What should we do now?" Mu Li asked.
"Let's check the area first to see if there are any more demons. Let's understand the situation before making any plans!" Mo Xi said.
"good."
The group continued to move forward and finally discovered some traces of demonic activities.
"Everyone be careful, these are low-level monsters. Let's follow them and find a chance to get rid of them!" Mo Xi said in a low voice.
Everyone nodded.
He quietly followed the demons and came to an abandoned manor.
Everyone only heard a few demons chattering for a while, and then they began to divide up the looted property.
"Now, take action!" Mo Xi gave an order and everyone rushed in.
The demons were caught off guard by this sudden attack.
Mu Li directly unleashed the Red Lotus Karma Fire, instantly igniting several demons.
The little phoenix was also circling in the air, spewing out flames to help everyone.
After a fierce battle, the demons fell one after another and turned into black smoke and dissipated.
"Let's search carefully again and don't miss any clues to see if we can find the mastermind behind them." Mo Xi said.
Upon hearing this, everyone searched the manor carefully and found some mysterious letters and badges.
"These things don't look simple. Maybe they can help us find the truth." Mu Li said.
Just then, a noisy sound came from the distance.
"Oh no, maybe the reinforcements from the demon clan have arrived." Xuan Qisheng said.
"Let's retreat first." Mo Xi made a quick decision.
Everyone quickly left the manor and continued on their way.
Everyone moved forward and did not stop until they were sure that there were no demons around.
"Let's rest here for a while and discuss where to go next." Mu Li said after observing the surroundings.
"Take a look at those letters and badges first, maybe you can find something." Mo Xi reminded.
Mu Li took out the letter and read it carefully, but the words on it were obscure and difficult to understand.
"What is written here? I can't understand it at all." Xuan Bayu came over and complained.
Mo Xi took the letter, pondered for a moment and said, "This seems to be an ancient demon language. I have seen it in ancient books."
After some research, Mo Xi finally deciphered some of the content.
"The letter mentioned that their action this time was to find a mysterious treasure, and it seemed that there was a more powerful demon behind it." Mo Xi's face was solemn.
Everyone was shocked when they heard this.
"Then we must stop them." Mu Li said firmly.
Xuan Yiheng nodded in agreement: "But we still know too little about their situation. We have to continue looking for clues."
At this moment, the little phoenix circled in the air for a few times, landed on Mu Li's shoulder, and chirped a few times.
Mu Li's eyes lit up: "The cub said it found a suspicious place."
Everyone followed the guidance of the little phoenix and came to a deep mountain.
There is a hidden cave in the mountains, and the entrance is filled with a strange atmosphere.
"There may be important clues hidden in here." Mo Xi said.
Everyone walked into the cave cautiously. It was dark and damp inside, and strange noises could be heard from time to time.
Everyone moved forward cautiously in the cave, and the red lotus fire in Mu Li's hand illuminated the surrounding darkness.
Xuan Bayu said nervously, "This place is eerie, are there any monsters?"
As soon as he finished speaking, several huge bats jumped out from the shadows beside them and pounced on them.
"Be careful!" Mo Xi shouted, swinging his sword at the bat.
Everyone cast spells and fought against the bats. After a fierce battle, they finally drove the bats away.
Continuing deeper into the cave, they discovered some strange murals.
Mu Li observed the murals carefully and said, "These murals seem to be telling an ancient story."
The mural depicts a fierce battle, with demons, monsters, and a group of mysterious characters confronting each other. The scene is extremely tragic.
"This was a war between gods, demons and monsters in ancient times!" Mo Xi explained.
"How tragic!" Everyone seemed to be able to see the scene of corpses everywhere.
Just then, a low roar came from deep in the cave.
"Oh no, there may be more powerful creatures here." Mo Xi said.
Everyone walked towards the direction of the sound cautiously, only to see a huge monster appear before their eyes.
The monster exuded a powerful aura, making everyone feel oppressed.
"It's a monster!"
"Everyone come together!" Mu Li shouted.
Everyone used all their strength to fight the monster in a thrilling and desperate battle. The monster's attack was as fierce as a storm, but with everyone's concerted efforts, the monster gradually fell into a disadvantage.
Finally, the monster was defeated by everyone and fell to the ground.
"Huh, it's finally solved." Xuan Qisheng said while panting.
"How could there be such a powerful monster here?" Mu Li asked in confusion.
"This kind of magical beast is usually driven by a higher-level demon. Perhaps a higher-level demon sent it here to guard something!" Mo Xi thought for a moment and said, "Let's keep looking and see if we can find anything else."
Upon hearing this, everyone continued to explore the cave, and finally found a yellowed ancient book and a jade plaque in a corner.
