It was just a simple sentence, but it quietly calmed down the little fox's barely suppressed anger.
The girl lowered her head, glancing at her fist being held out of the corner of her eye, but surprisingly showed no intention of breaking free.
Although Bai Xiaoruo's current appearance is still that of the guard at the door.
"But where did they catch these lesser demons? How could so many lesser demons be born within the territory of the Dust Dynasty?"
As they continued forward, the dark red cages not only did not decrease, but increased in number and density.
Each cage holds a little demon.
"Strange...why don't they put these little demons together, instead of separating them into so many cages?"
Since he didn't know if anyone was around, Shen Yunhao could only try to get as close to Bai Xiaoruo as possible and send her a telepathic message.
As she passed a cage where a tiger demon was imprisoned, Bai Xiaoruo stopped and glanced inside. "There's a strange, malevolent aura emanating from this cage..."
The tiger demon in the cage lay prone, its huge eyes flashing with a few strange red lights. Its gaze towards Bai Xiaoruo showed no anger or fear, only...bloodlust!
It's like they're watching some kind of prey!
"This cage seems different from the others. It's made of black bronze, which is more than enough to imprison a demon race in the Iron Bone Realm. Why is it being used to imprison a small beast that has just condensed its demon essence?"
This tiger demon looks fierce, but its cultivation level is still at the stage of just finishing the Qi Refining stage and has not yet entered the Copper Skin stage.
Bai Xiaoruo glanced around, but didn't linger, continuing to walk forward.
After wandering around for a while, Shen Yunhao found quite a few bronze cages. The demonic beasts imprisoned inside were all quite ferocious, and traces of blood could be faintly seen inside the cages.
It looks like it was left behind by blood food that had been fed to the animal.
"stop!"
Halfway down, a figure suddenly emerged from the shadows, frowning as he looked at the two and said, "Chu Jin! Why aren't you guarding the cave entrance? What are you doing down here?"
"Junior Brother Qin has some urgent business with Elder Mu. I'll take him there!"
Bai Xiaoruo had clearly noticed the guard hiding in the shadows long ago, but her expression remained unchanged.
"Elder Mu? It's not Elder Mu's turn to be on duty today, so he definitely won't be here!"
Bai Xiaoruo was slightly taken aback. "Huh? Isn't it his turn to be on duty? Did I remember wrong?"
"You must be mistaken!" the man waved his hand and said, "How about this, you go in and find Elder Xue. Elder Xue should be on duty on the second floor."
However, at that moment, Shen Yunhao suddenly stepped forward and slapped the man across the face.
"Damn it! I came all this way for nothing! Damn it!"
However, the man's cultivation was at the Soul Condensation Realm. Faced with Shen Yunhao's slap, he only moved his body slightly and took a step back. Just as he was about to say something, his expression froze and his body stopped in place.
Behind her, Bai Xiaoruo's eyes seemed to contain several pink peach petals, emitting an eerie glow.
The man didn't expect Bai Xiaoruo to act so decisively, and he was immediately hit and held in place.
"Kill him! He saw through it!"
Shen Yunhao's tone was cold.
Bai Xiaoruo nodded and stepped forward, pointing her finger at the person's brow.
The next second, the light in this Dragon Blood Sect disciple's eyes was forever extinguished...
"You may be a bit slow, but you cooperate quite well!"
After disposing of the disciple's body, Shen Yunhao smiled at the little fox beside him and asked, "How did you figure out that I wanted to attack him?"
Is it that hard to guess?
Bai Xiaoruo crossed her arms and said, "Otherwise, why would you suddenly hit someone for no reason!"
Shen Yunhao sighed and said, "If there is a shift system here, Chi Ye couldn't possibly not know that the guardian of the two upper levels of the demon tower is Elder Mu. The fact that he asked this question is clearly a trap, and you're just foolishly jumping into it."
"..."
To be honest, she was a little stunned when she heard about the shift work.
"Fortunately, that idiot didn't call for help directly. He's probably unsure of our cultivation levels and wants to notify the higher-ups of other sects to trap us like turtles in a jar!"
Shen Yunhao continued walking forward, "Let's go, let's go check out the third floor. I have a feeling that there are other secrets hidden on the third floor!"
This time, the two learned their lesson and stopped swaggering forward using their disguises. Instead, they used Bai Xiaoruo's Soul Control Realm perception to try to avoid the guards hiding in the shadows.
If it's really unavoidable, they'll transform into the appearance of one of the disciples and walk around.
Moreover, each time he uses the Body Borrowing Technique, he transforms into a different disciple to confuse the audience.
Fortunately, although this place is important, the Dragon Blood Sect only arranged for Soul Condensation Realm disciples to guard it, without any Soul Control Realm or even Void Soul Realm disciples.
After all, it was only a second-rate sect with limited overall strength.
The entrance to the second level was located at the deepest part of the first level, which made Shen Yunhao somewhat suspicious. If an earthquake occurred and the cave collapsed, wouldn't these disciples have nowhere to run?
The second floor is similar in structure to the first floor, except that many of the cages used to imprison demonic beasts have been replaced with forged jade steel, which is strong enough to imprison those in the Soul Condensation Realm!
Similar to the first level, the monsters in these "enhanced cages" are significantly more ferocious than those in the ordinary cages.
Not referring to cultivation level, but simply ferocity!
Because there are quite a few Xuanpo Realm demon beasts in ordinary cages.
As for the purpose of these reinforced cages, Chi Ye had not mentioned it beforehand, so Shen Yunhao could only suppress his doubts and continue probing.
In general, there were more guards on the second floor than on the first floor. Shen Yunhao guessed that they were more for guarding the demonic beasts than for targeting outsiders like them.
On the second floor, there were obvious signs of a fight that had taken place not long ago, and some of the monsters in the ordinary cages also had some wounds on their bodies.
After half an hour of sneaking around, the two finally arrived at the entrance to the third floor.
The entire cave is located deep underground, with each level being tens of feet high. The Dragon Blood Sect is quite willing to spend money to build such a huge underground palace to imprison demonic beasts.
"I don't know why, but I have a bad feeling..."
At the entrance to the third floor, Shen Yunhao suddenly frowned.
Bai Xiaoruo's face was frosty. "Don't worry, if we're really discovered... then we'll just kill them all!"
"..."
Just as Shen Yunhao was about to say that it was wishful thinking for the two of them to have the strength, he saw that the killing intent in the girl's eyes was becoming more and more solid, and it did not seem fake.
That's when I understood.
This exploration of the underground demon tower is not only about him, but also about having two Spirit Void Realm experts as his trump cards.
This little fox's background is terrifyingly deep...
Seeing such a large number of imprisoned demon beasts has indeed enraged this nine-tailed fox from the Demon Realm of Lizhou!
Even so, Shen Yunhao still felt inexplicably uneasy.
The source of this unease... is the girl beside me!
