Fang Chaozhou was stunned by Du Yunxi's words. Then he raised his sleeve and smelled himself, but didn't smell anything.
"Where is the fragrance? You must have smelled it wrongly." Fang Chaozhou put down his hand.
"I didn't smell it wrong." Du Yunxi grabbed Fang Chaozhou's hand and put it in front of his nose. After sniffing it, his eyes became more and more certain, "It's obviously there. I smelled it as soon as I smelled it."
As soon as he finished speaking, a voice from the side interrupted.
"Fifth Brother, I have something to ask you."
When Du Yunxi heard the voice, he immediately put down Fang Chaozhou's hand and looked towards the place where the voice came from with an almost joyful look on his face. "Junior brother, what's the matter?"
Xue Danrong said coldly, "I want to discuss this matter with Fifth Senior Brother alone."
Fang Chaozhou looked at Xue Danrong, then at Du Yunxi. Seeing Xue Danrong taking the initiative to find Du Yunxi, he couldn't help but secretly reached out and pushed Du Yunxi, "Fifth Junior Brother, go quickly."
Xue Danrong glanced at Fang Chaozhou's hand that touched Du Yunxi's arm, then turned and walked in one direction. Du Yunxi naturally followed him.
Not long after they left, Fang Chaozhou felt the crowd was too stuffy, so he squeezed out of the crowd and found a deserted shady place to stay. But just staying there was not enough, he took out an ice silk handkerchief from his storage ring and covered his head with it, trying to cool down.
About a quarter of an hour later, Fang Chaozhou heard footsteps approaching. When he turned around, he saw Xue Danrong.
Fang Chaozhou was afraid of the heat, so he had been wearing very thin summer clothes these days. Even so, he still felt hot. Xue Danrong was as neatly dressed as usual, with a fresh face, as if his skin was made of ice and his bones were made of jade.
Fang Chaozhou couldn't help but envy Xue Danrong, but he couldn't really envy him because this kind of physique was usually only possessed by the protagonist.
"Brother, the underground demon realm will be opened soon. Will you be alone or with others?" Xue Danrong asked.
The underground demon realm is different from the previous secret realm. Once they enter the teleportation barrier, everyone will disperse. Because opportunities are rare, most people would choose to fight alone to avoid encountering good things and causing fights among their fellow disciples. However, some people choose to travel with others because they are afraid that the underground demon realm is too dangerous.
If you choose to travel with companions, the first thing you should do when entering the underground demon realm is to contact your companions.
Fang Chaozhou originally belonged to the latter. He was not greedy for the things in the underground demon realm. He just wanted to get out safely and reach a higher level of cultivation. He originally wanted to go with the eldest senior brother, but when he went to find the eldest senior brother, he found that the sixth junior brother had already found the eldest senior brother.
When the Sixth Junior Brother saw Fang Chaozhou, he said, "Second Junior Brother, the First Junior Brother has been taken by me, go find someone else."
Fang Chaozhou was not particularly familiar with his fellow disciples. Apart from the eldest senior brother, there was only Du Yunxi left. However, Du Yunxi had just been called away by Xue Danrong. He guessed that Du Yunxi was probably going to be with Xue Danrong. If he looked for Du Yunxi again, it would be tactless.
"I'm alone, so I won't be confused about how to divide up the good stuff if I come across it." Fang Chaozhou thought for a moment before speaking.
Upon hearing this, Xue Danrong lowered his eyes and said nothing for a long time. Fang Chaozhou looked at him and wanted to leave. Just at this moment, there was a noise coming from the entrance to the underground demon realm.
It seemed that the barrier had been opened, and Fang Chaozhou quickly used this as an excuse, "Junior brother, the barrier is open, I'll go in first." He left after he said that, but when he passed by Xue Danrong, his wrist was grabbed.
"Brother, this is for you." Xue Danrong stuffed something into Fang Chaozhou's hand. "If you trust me, just crush this thing and I will come find you."
The underground demon realm, as the name suggests, is located underground. Although there is no light all year round, there are dense trees inside, like a dense forest. What's even more strange is that the underground demon realm is covered with dense fireflies above it, which are enough to illuminate the entire demon realm.
Fang Chaozhou had been in the underground demon realm for nearly half an hour. He didn't know where he had been teleported to. He hadn't met anyone along the way, let alone humans, he hadn't even met a demon beast.
It felt like others were playing in a dungeon while he was walking in a maze.
Thinking of this, Fang Chaozhou couldn't help but look at the half jade pendant in his hand. This half of the jade pendant was given to him by Xue Danrong before he entered the underground demon realm. This thing is a bit like the mandarin duck jade pendant that Zhongli Yueshui gave to Xue Danrong. As long as it is crushed, whoever has the other half of the jade pendant will know where it is.
Fang Chaozhou looked at the jade pendant and put it away without crushing it. Many people came to the underground demon realm, many of whom liked Xue Danrong. He decided not to wade into the muddy water and ruin his fate with Xue Danrong.
After walking for about another half an hour, Fang Chaozhou finally encountered the first monster - a dark brown chicken.
When the chicken saw Fang Chaozhou, it turned around and ran away. It ran so fast that Fang Chaozhou could no longer see it while he was stunned. Seeing that the chicken had run away, Fang Chaozhou didn't think of chasing it, but what he didn't expect was that not long after, the chicken ran back and opened its mouth to speak human language to Fang Chaozhou.
"Why don't you chase me? You cultivators chase foxes, snakes, tigers and other monsters all day long. What's wrong with us chickens? If you surrender to me, I will allow you to sit on my back, and then you won't have to walk anymore."
Fang Chaozhou: “…”
He coughed twice and said, "It's not that I won't chase you, it's just that you ran too fast."
The chicken waved its wings and asked doubtfully, "Really?"
"Really." Fang Chaozhou said.
"Then I'll run slower this time and you catch up." After the chicken said that, it turned around and ran. Just as it said, its running speed was obviously much slower than last time.
Fang Chaozhou looked at the direction it was running and decisively changed the route. Does this chicken think he has never read the original novel? In the original novel, there was a cultivator who was fooled by this seemingly ordinary monster.
The monsters in the underground demon realm are basically all conscious, and some are even smarter than humans. They know how to set traps and lure monks into them.
The original novel wrote about a cultivator chasing a green deer. Although green deer are not rare animals, the pair of horns on their heads are good materials for refining medicine, so many cultivators who practice alchemy would want to catch the green deer and cut off its horns.
The cultivator in the text kept chasing the green deer, and the green deer ran for a while and stopped for a while until it led the cultivator to the side of the big monster.
The cultivator who mistakenly entered the demon's barrier was killed on the spot.
Not long after Fang Chaozhou changed his route, he encountered other monsters. There were quite a few of them, but they were not very powerful monsters. However, after fighting them all the way, Fang Chaozhou was still exhausted.
Because he was underground and couldn't feel the passage of time, Fang Chaozhou didn't know how long he had been in the underground demon realm. After finally getting rid of the monster that was chasing him, he decided to find a place to rest for a while and count the things he had just obtained.
He gained a lot along the way.
But just as he found a vacant space and hadn't sat down yet, he felt a sharp pain in his neck, as if a bug had bitten him. Fang Chaozhou suddenly raised his hand and touched his neck. When he put his hand down, there was some blood on his fingertips.
What kind of bug is this? It was amazing! The insect that could bite him and make him bleed was not just a small insect. He didn’t even hear the sound of the insect flapping its wings.
Fang Chaozhou wiped the blood off his neck and hands with a handkerchief. Not knowing whether the insect was poisonous or not, he prepared to take an antidote pill. But before he could take out the antidote pill, his body swayed. If he hadn't grabbed the tree next to him in time, he would have fallen to the ground.
That bug is poisonous.
Fang Chaozhou bit his tongue and reached for the antidote pill with trembling hands. As soon as he took it out, a magic spell appeared out of nowhere and knocked over the medicine bottle in his hand.
At the same time, he heard the voices of many people talking.
"Master, he has been bitten. Is he tied up now?"
"Master, he is so handsome. If you are tired of playing with him, can you give him to us?"
"And me? Young Master, I want to have a taste of him, too."
There was laughter.
"Please stop talking. That young cultivator is a disciple of Tianshui Sect. Is it your turn to fantasize about him here? If you want to play, only the young master can play."
Fang Chaozhou closed his eyes, and when he raised his eyes again, he had accurately captured the place where the sound came from, but it was empty, as if no one was standing there.
"He's looked over here, hehe."
"Ah, he ran away."
From those words, Fang Chaozhou already knew who was hiding in the dark; it was Song Lianyi and his people. Thinking of what Song Lianyi had said on the spaceship before, and the grudge they had before, he couldn't fall into the other party's hands.
Maybe Song Lianyi wanted to kill him in the underground demon realm this time.
When Fang Chaozhou was running, he did not forget to pick up the detoxification pills. He took the pills while running, but he was busy hiding from the people behind him and did not pay attention to the movements in front of him. When he ran in front of others, he realized that he had bumped into Li Zhu.
Li Zhu naturally also saw Fang Chaozhou, and her cat-like eyes instantly widened. He was alone at this time, with no other demon cultivators following him.
Seeing Li Zhu, Fang Chaozhou could not help but stop, but once he stopped, it was too late to change direction. Song Lianyi's people had caught up. Those girls appeared from all directions and surrounded Fang Chaozhou in the middle. The only direction that was not surrounded was where Li Zhu was standing.
He thought for only a moment before rushing towards Li Zhu, "The people from Fengyue Temple are chasing me, help me stop them."
So Fang Chaozhou, who was bitten by insects, and Li Zhu, who had a lower level of cultivation, were both tied up.
Li Zhu looked at herself tied up and was very angry. "You bad women, you dare to tie me up? Be careful or our Dark Soul Sect will destroy your Fengyue Temple!"
"Little boy, you have such a bad temper. Cool down. Do you want to drink some water? I'll feed you."
Faced with Li Zhu's anger, Song Lianyi's maid burst into laughter. Not only did she not take him seriously, she also mocked him.
Li Zhu was so angry that his face turned red and he shut his mouth and stopped talking. But not long after, he couldn't help but speak again, this time he spoke to Song Lianyi.
"You ugly bastard, why are you reaching out to touch my stepmother's face?"
When Song Lianyi heard this, he tilted his head and a strange smile appeared on his face, "Stepmother?" After he finished speaking, he pinched Fang Chaozhou's face again, pinching his cheeks, pinching them little by little, as if pinching a steamed bun, "I forgot that you and Li Yiye still have an unclear relationship."
Fang Chaozhou was still dizzy at this time. Facing Song Lianyi's hand, he did not react at all, and did not even make a sound. He just lowered his head.
But his calmness made Song Lianyi a little unhappy.
Song Lianyi gave a look to the maids next to her, and one of them immediately took out a red banner. Soon, the maids unfolded the red banner and circled the open space, covering only Song Lianyi and Fang Chaozhou.
The red flag is not very thick, and you can see the figures of the people inside by standing outside.
When Li Zhu saw them raising the red flag, he kept asking them what they were going to do. When the flag was raised, he saw two figures in the flag very close to each other, and he almost got angry immediately.
"Fang Chaozhou, if you dare to cheat on me today, I...I...I will go back and tell my father! And, you ugly freak from Fengyue Temple, if you dare to force yourself on the Overlord Bow, I will kill you!"
