A mass of black and sticky substance occupied most of the area of the Sky-Viewing Mirror. It lay on the restriction of the forbidden area, constantly wriggling its huge body.
Xuan Xiao was immediately disgusted and vomited, "What kind of disgusting thing is this?"
Bai He's face turned pale, "So many eyes."
He didn't have trypophobia, but he was still frightened by the sight of so many eyes, spread all over the body, and trembling everywhere.
"This kind of monster doesn't seem to appear under normal circumstances." Zhongdi's face was solemn. He moved the Sky-peeping Mirror a little bit and saw a lot of blue bloodstains and some limbs on the monster's body.
"These demons seem to be extremely certain that we are here. They must have spent quite some time preparing."
"Why? We seldom go out. How did they find out that the forbidden area is here?"
Xuan Xiao stopped looking at the monster full of eyes. Instead, he felt much more relieved when he saw the broken limbs on the ground.
He shook his head and said, "I don't know. We think we have not revealed any flaws, but that doesn't mean others don't think we have any flaws."
He turned the Sky-peeking Mirror a few more times and found that apart from demons, there were no human cultivators.
"It seems that only the demons have discovered us this time. If this continues, the restrictions of the forbidden area will be breached soon, and we will be in big trouble."
"But the restrictions of the forbidden area were also set up by the elders of the clan back then."
"So many years have passed. No matter how powerful a restriction is, it will eventually become weaker. Moreover, this monster has been absorbing the power of the restriction. I'm afraid the restriction won't last long." Zhongdi paced anxiously on the spot.
"There are several demons in the fusion stage. We are no match for them at all. We can't always rely on the restrictions and barriers left by our ancestors. The best defense is offense. We must fight back." Bai He wiped the corner of his mouth, which seemed to be vomiting.
Zhongdi thought for a moment and said, "You two, go to the treasury and take out everything that can be used. We must guard it until the young master accepts the inheritance."
"Okay." The two of them immediately turned around and went back to the hall.
This hall was the sleeping chamber of the demon god in the past. The space inside was enormous. Later, due to a great war, a large number of bewitched demons rushed into the hall, causing some damage to it.
Before the Demon God fell, he left a backup plan for the Sky-Devouring Beast Clan, which was the entire forbidden area.
After a while, Xuan Xiao and Bai He came out carrying a lot of things.
"This is the God Bomb, but there are only five left." Xuan Xiao took out the things he had picked, "And there's also the Sunset Bow, which can burn spiritual power to shoot the strongest arrow, which may be able to kill a fusion stage demon, and this..."
"I took out the beast puppets from the treasury. Although most of them are only at the Spirit Transformation Stage, they should be able to help us block some of the monsters." Bai He also said.
Normally, they are not allowed to move things from the treasury at will in important areas. This time, the incident happened suddenly, and without these things, they would not be able to hold out for long.
"It's a pity. If it was before the Xizhu was sent out, this battle might not have been difficult to fight." Xuan Xiao said regretfully.
"Yes, the forbidden area was set up by the demon god himself. It is a large maze. The Breathing Pearl can completely restrain the aura, so even the fusion stage cannot detect it."
"Don't say anything. Since it has been sent out, there is no reason to take it back. However, our trouble this time is really huge. When I looked through the Sky-peeping Mirror just now, I discovered a truth. Perhaps it is not accidental that these monsters found this place." Zhongdi's face looked grim.
Xuan Xiao and Bai He looked at each other and immediately asked, "What's the truth?"
Zhongdi did not answer, but directly called out the Sky-Viewing Mirror and magnified one spot a hundred times.
Behind the demon, on a stretch of rolling mountains three thousand meters away, there was a group of demon beasts crawling on it.
"It's the group of monsters from Yizhangling. The traitor Green Flame Mang is here too!" Xuan Xiao's eyes immediately turned red when he saw Green Flame Mang.
"These monsters may not know the existence of the forbidden land of the Heaven-Devouring Beasts, but some of these traitors must know it. It turns out that they were the ones who invited these monsters." The Gold-Devouring Beast clan all hated the monsters that betrayed the Demon God.
"What is certain now is that this group of monsters is waiting for the demons to break through the restrictions. The pressure we are facing now comes from two groups of forces."
Bai He's expression gradually became serious. "Yes, these traitors are not like demons. Demons may not kill us in order to get what they want, but the goal of these traitors is to destroy the Gold Devouring Beast Clan and make us completely disappear from this world. In this way, they don't have to worry about the Demon God returning in the future and settling accounts with them."
Xuan Xiao was silent for a moment, "Will the Demon God really return?"
“I don’t know, but I believe that since the young master can get the recognition of the inheritance land, it is enough to explain everything.” Zhongdi looked in the direction of the inheritance land with a stern face.
"It would be great if the young master could be a little stronger." Xuan Xiao sighed.
"There are no ifs. This is an important place. What should we do now?" Bai He looked at him.
"The plan now is to find a way to resist until the young master leaves the inheritance land."
"The young master has been in there for almost two months. We have no idea how long it will take for him to come out. And after he comes out, will his strength suddenly become stronger?" Bai He doubted that they might not be able to hold on until that time.
"Then what do you say we should do?" Xuan Xiao asked, "Only the inheritance land can completely stimulate the blood of the Sky-Swallowing Beast in the young master."
Bai He hesitated for a moment, "I have a suggestion, but this may completely expose the existence of the forbidden area and the inheritance land."
"Are you talking about the human race?" Zhongdi's brows slowly furrowed.
Bai He nodded, "Not all humans. You still remember the two humans who sent the young master back to us at Yizhang Ridge. They are disciples of Zixiao Sect. I have heard of Zixiao Sect before when I went out. It is said to be a relatively upright sect, and it is also the largest sect in Lingtian Continent."
"Hearsay is the most unreliable. Don't let us fail to find helpers and instead attract a group of enemies who covet the forbidden land." Xuan Xiao said with a frown.
"I think that anyone who is willing to send the young master back should not be a bad person. If you disagree, do you have a better idea?"
"People's hearts are hard to predict. We have only dealt with them once. There is no guarantee that they will not be tempted after seeing so many treasures in the forbidden area." Xuan Xiao said.
"Bai He, do you believe them just because they saved your life?" Zhongdi asked suddenly.
Bai He immediately shook his head, "Of course not, how can the grace of saving my life be compared to the life of the young master and the forbidden land?"
"Okay, I can agree to it, but you can't tell Zixiao Sect." Zhong said.
Bai He was stunned for a moment, "You mean, only tell those two human cultivators?"
He nodded emphatically and said, "Yes, the relationship between those two human cultivators and the young master is special. I also believe that they will not harm the young master 90%, but there is still a 10% uncertainty, and this uncertainty is their sect. So handing the initiative to them and letting them choose may help us see things more clearly."
"Then who should we send?" Xuan Xiao asked with a frown when he saw that both of them had made their decision.
Zhongdi and Baihe looked at him at the same time, "Who else could it be except you? None of us have been out of the demon battlefield, and you are the only one with experience."
"Okay." Xuan Xiao had no choice but to take on this heavy responsibility.
"Take this breath-relief bead with you." Zhongdi handed him the only breath-relief bead he had.
"I don't need it. Leave it to you, or wait for the young master to come out and give it to me." Xuan Xiao immediately shook his head to refuse.
The original intention was to let the young master swallow this bead when he came out of retreat, but I didn't expect that this inheritance would take so long. The bad guys have already knocked on the door, but the young master has not come out yet.
"Take it." Zhongdi stuffed it directly into his hand. "There are many powerful people in Lingtian Continent. If you are recognized by the cultivators of the human race, I am worried that you will be arrested before you see anyone. What you are carrying now is also a hope for us."
Xuan Xiao took the breath bead hesitantly, "Well, you must wait until I come back."
"Well, go ahead. I'll take you out." Zhongdi nodded.
He took back the Sky-Viewing Mirror and then threw it out again. The mirror stood on the ground and instantly turned into a door.
Xuan Xiao didn't hesitate any longer. He quickly walked into the door and his figure disappeared.
The Sky-Viewing Mirror returned to its original size and returned to Zhongdi's hands.
"This is an important place. Do you think it can be done?" Bai He was still very worried.
"Let's leave it to fate." Zhongdi turned around and said, "Let's go. We should also get ready."
As soon as Xuan Xiao's figure appeared, a loud rumbling sound was heard in the distance, and he was teleported outside the forbidden area. The sound was made by the demons attacking the restriction.
"You must wait for me to come back!"
Xuan Xiao looked in the direction of the forbidden area with a determined expression, turned around and immediately rushed to the nearest human city, running at the fastest speed in his life.
"Huh?" The expression of a demon guarding outside the restriction suddenly changed.
"What's wrong?" asked another demon.
"It's okay, I seemed to feel the restriction shaking just now." The demon looked more closely and found that the restriction was no longer shaking.
"Maybe the monsters in the forbidden area are resisting, but it's all in vain. This devil-eyed beast has gathered the death and evil spirits of tens of thousands of monsters. There is nothing it cannot absorb as long as there is energy. If we want to keep this restriction running, we must use spirit stones or other treasures. It's only a matter of time before the forbidden area is opened." There was a trace of greed in the monsters' eyes.
They had long heard that the ancient forbidden land of the Sky-Devouring Beast contained countless treasures. If it weren't for those people this time, they would not have been able to find this place.
"It's too slow. Something unexpected might happen. Let them add some more people in." A powerful demon named Bram said coldly and ruthlessly.
The demon below who heard this thought he could escape and would not have to go up again. He felt sad, but did not dare to resist.
Another group of demons committed suicide and sacrificed their flesh and blood to the Demon Eye Beast.
