In this way, this soul-killing maze has no other dangers except making people lose their way.
Recalling the map, Xiang Sheng immediately left in the direction indicated by the map.
However, within half a day, Xiang Sheng stopped in front of a dead end.
She frowned, took out the map and looked at it again.
I didn't go the wrong way, but the usual path turned out to be a dead end.
The old village chief was right. The terrain of the maze had changed and the original map was no longer usable.
Xiang Sheng put away the map, took out the statue of the demon god, bit his fingertip, and dripped a drop of blood.
That bit of crimson fell on the surface of the statue and was immediately absorbed.
Not long after, the demon god statue's eyes turned slightly red, and it began to spin randomly until it turned to Xiang Sheng. Then it suddenly stopped. After a moment of stagnation, a sinister voice came from the statue: "Human race?"
Xiang Sheng's eyes narrowed instantly. This statue is alive? Can it speak?
The old village chief only said that this statue would guide the direction, but did not mention this aspect. Was he deliberately concealing it, or... was there something wrong with this statue?
His thoughts raced, but Xiang Sheng showed respect on the surface, saying, "Master Demon God, although I am a human, I sincerely worship you. Please guide me, Master Demon God?"
The statue's eyes rolled again, and a staccato voice uttered, "Not enough blood..."
Xiang Sheng immediately dripped a few more drops of blood, and the voice in the statue suddenly became smooth. "Mortal, in view of your sincerity, this god will agree to your request. What are you looking for?"
Xiang Sheng made up his mind and said immediately: "Primordial Embryo!"
"Primordial Embryo?"
The red glow in the statue's eyes grew even brighter. "The Yuan Embryo is in Ghost Gorge. How dare you, a mere mortal, go to Ghost Gorge?"
Xiang Sheng pursed his lips and said, "Master Demon God, please take a look around."
The statue fell silent for a moment, then uttered a cry of surprise: "Mortal, this God truly admires your courage. With your half-baked cultivation, you dare to venture into Ghost Gorge? Aren't you afraid that you won't find the Yuan Embryo and will die here instead?"
"Don't worry about that, Master Demon God."
Xiang Sheng said in a calm tone, showing a hint of respect, "Please guide me, Master Demon God."
The statue stared at Xiang Sheng with its eyes, a hint of greed flashing through them. It smiled sinisterly and said, "Mortal, I can help you with this, but this little bit of blood is not enough. This place is just outside the Ghost Gorge, too far away. You must offer your heart's blood, and then I will have the strength to find the Yuan embryo for you."
The lion's mouth is wide open?
Xiang Sheng raised his eyebrows slightly, then pretended to hesitate, saying, "Master Demon God, my heart's blood is limited, and I'm afraid I can't support your reckless exploration. How about waiting until I go deeper into the Ghost Gorge before asking you to take action?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the red light in the demon statue's eyes immediately deepened: "You don't want to make an offering?"
"Master Demon God has misunderstood."
Xiang Sheng narrowed his eyes slightly, "I believe that the Demon God would not want to see any devout believer die on the way to offer sacrifices, right?"
The demon god statue's eyes immediately froze. After a long silence, a dissatisfied voice rang out: "Wake me up when we get there."
After saying this, the red light in the demon god's eyes immediately dimmed, and in the blink of an eye it returned to its original stone-white color.
Xiang Sheng felt relieved, took the demon god statue into his arms, and turned away.
This demon god statue was really weird. After a confrontation, she had already made up her mind not to use it unless it was absolutely necessary.
Compared with the underground maze back then, the maze in Guijian was extremely huge. Xiang Sheng walked around in it for three or four days before he found the exit.
Seeing the white light of the exit just ahead, Xiang Sheng moved his body and was about to go over when he suddenly heard a noise coming from the fork in the road on the left.
If she met someone at this time, the news that she was still alive would spread quickly, causing trouble...
Xiang Sheng frowned, quickly made hand gestures, and was about to mobilize the Four Extremes Ban to temporarily block this intersection when he suddenly heard a familiar shout.
"Go!"
"Gong Yue!"
Lu Yue watched helplessly as the evil spirits in the sky rushed towards her. The intense fear made her forget to breathe and her feet froze in place, unable to move.
Just when she was about to be overwhelmed by the evil spirit, a golden thread suddenly flew out from behind her, tied her waist and pulled her back violently.
Lu Yue retreated instantly, putting some distance between him and the Soul Demon. Then, Lu Yue loosened his grip on his waist, and the golden thread spread out, transforming into a shimmering golden barrier that blocked all the Soul Demons in the sky.
The companion, having just recovered from his shock, immediately got up and knelt beside Lu Yue. "How are you? Are you hurt?"
Lu Yue shook his head, touched his still wildly beating heart, and kept looking back, but no one showed up for a long time.
