Chapter 2283 - 2278: Stone Wall Gate

Chapter 2283: Chapter 2278: Stone Wall Gate

Ying Chou has already spent a month in the Underground Maze of Demon Origin Mountain, and during this month he felt as though he had entered another world.

Contrary to the typical dampness of caves, a scorching force made this place extremely dry.

Only at certain marked locations could one drink spring water to quench thirst.

"This must be the end of the map given to me by that girl. Beyond this cave is the area she didn’t chart. But why is the Demon Abyss Eye so clear in the distance?"

Ying Chou frowned; he was very eager to explore the Demon Abyss Eye and learn what the source of the Demon Abyss Demon truly was.

But just as he stepped into the unmarked part of the map, he suddenly heard footsteps.

Bam.

Ying Chou used the knife in his hand to create a hole in the wall, entered the cave himself, and then tightly closed the outside stone slab, leaving only his eyes exposed.

This was Ying Chou’s best method of evading enemies in the past month. He once used this method to evade the pursuit of many formidable beasts.

Those beasts, perhaps due to the aura of the Demon Abyss Demon Eye, were incredibly fierce. Fortunately, they were of low intelligence; otherwise, Ying Chou would have already been a snack for them.

The footsteps grew closer, revealing a humanoid creature with a face covered in thick hair, resembling a gorilla.

Perhaps he had heard sounds from here earlier, so he approached with extreme caution.

However, Ying Chou concealed himself well, holding his breath, calming his mind, and channeling all his aura into the walls around him.

He merged his aura with Shi Tou.

The gorilla-like creature circled the cave and roared, then returned to the previous cave.

Ying Chou exhaled deeply, gently pushed open the stone slab, and followed behind the gorilla.

The tunnel widened increasingly and ended with a spiral walkway, leading directly downwards, unveiling the pitch-black abyss.

The gorilla-like creature was crawling downward, accompanied by a large man wearing Armor.

Seeing the horn on the man’s forehead, Ying Chou inhaled sharply. If he remembered correctly, this figure should be a Demon.

"Has the Demon already arrived at the Underground Cave? Or is this a Demon that drifted here years ago?"

Ying Chou pondered internally, but his footsteps did not slow.

To understand the Demon’s situation better, he decided to take the risk of finding the lair of the Abyss Demon, so that he could report more accurate information to West Continent City.

Letting the people of West Continent City know that he, Ying Chou, is also a capable individual. He, like Tang Ming, is an Ascender and not inferior to Tang Ming.

The further down the walkway went, the colder it became, reminding Ying Chou of the phrase, "When you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes back at you."

He walked for an entire day.

The phosphorescent moss on the Underground Cave walls lit up. Though it might be night outside the Underground Cave, it was daytime inside.

The entire Underground Cave brightened considerably. Ying Chou also slowed his pace.

After all, the suddenly brightened Underground Cave expanded his field of view significantly. If the Demon standing beside the gorilla-like beast became cautious, his tracks would be easily discovered.

"Howl."

A gorilla’s roar echoed not far ahead.

Ying Chou halted, crouching behind a round rock.

The Demon standing beside the gorilla stopped, not turning around, but waiting for something.

Soon, the wall of the Underground Cave cracked open. The gorilla pounded its chest, leading the way into the cave.

The Demon followed the gorilla, and the wall sealed up quickly and seamlessly.

Ying Chou darted to the front of the rock, examining the wall that appeared intact; he raised an eyebrow, "Interesting, building a base here, it seems their strength isn’t strong enough. If they were strong enough, they wouldn’t intentionally conceal themselves."

After some analysis, Ying Chou quickly reached the spot where the Abyss Demon entered the base.

There was no trace of a large door ever being here.

Ying Chou extended his hand, took out a white liquid, and sprayed it on the wall.

This is Bee Attraction Powder.

The Demon Hunting Team often uses this substance in the wild to deal with particularly troublesome Demon Clan creatures.

At this time, Ying Chou decided to use it against this wall. As he knew, nearby poisonous bees usually survived by gnawing on stone and moss.

Rushing down the walkway, he found a spot where he could see the Stone Wall Gate and stopped.

Within merely two hours, swarms of eyeless bees descended, devouring the moss and stone at the stone gate as if they were the most delicious thing in the world.

Bade Han is a Demon of the Twin Clan. As a subordinate tribe of a lower-ranked Demon Monarch, Bade Han’s status is not very high.

Not long ago, after the Demon Lord Mountain meeting ended, Bade Han was dispatched into the Taoyuan World, protected by the powerful might of the Demon Monarch; otherwise, he would die in that accursed seawater.

This time is different from the past, as the collapse of the Demon Abyss grows more intense, and the Immortal Mountain keeps failing to capture it, many Demon Monarchs have set their sights on the Taoyuan World.

According to Bade Han, three Demon Monarchs will enter the Taoyuan World, though the tide of Vortex Sea hasn’t receded yet. Hence, the large troop cannot proceed.

Rumble. Thud, thud, thud.

Strange noises arise outside the Formation.

Bade Han turned to look at the two Inferior Demons guarding the gate. The two Inferior Demons wore odd expressions, "Sir, did any enemy follow you back?"

"Enemy?"

Bade Han paused, his gaze landing on his Twin Demon Ape.

The Twin Demon Monarch’s heritage is dual-born, and all born of their bloodline have the capability to cultivate the Twin Demon Technique.

Once the Twin Demon Technique becomes Great Success, Inferior Demons turn into Demons. Their bodies split in two, generating a powerful associated Demon Beast.

And what makes Bade Han strong is not his primary form but his associated form.

The gorilla shook its head, indicating it hadn’t detected any enemy.

Then suddenly, the wall outside the Formation cracked open another hole. Shortly thereafter, the Stone Wall Gate, personally forged by Lord Zoe, shattered into pieces.
