Chapter 236: Believe It Or Not

??

When the Devil King arrived, he revealed his true form. After the violent wind dissipated, the two of them headed straight for the valley.

“Is there really a passageway here?”

The Devil King looked around warily. The atmosphere here was very strange, and the air was filled with a dense death aura.

The Blood Vine pointed to the center of the valley. “The entrance to that passageway is in the deepest part of this valley. There is a passageway thousands of meters long below. At the end is our entrance.”

“But why don’t I feel any devilish aura here?”

The Blood Vine suddenly laughed and looked at the Devil King. “Your Majesty, do you know this sentence?”

“Which sentence?”

“It’s called the collapse of an ant’s nest.”

“What do you mean?”

“If the seal at the entrance is loosened at all and can release the devilish aura, does Your Majesty think that this entrance can still be maintained for thousands of years without being discovered?”

“That makes sense.”

The Blood Vine smiled proudly and said to the Devil King, “If Your Majesty doesn’t believe me, we can still go back now. I think with Your Majesty’s strength, you can still defend Sea City for a period of time. Perhaps we can wait for the devils sealed below to sense our signal for help and come to support us. At that time, we can still escape if the two sides cooperate.” The Blood Vine said to the Devil King seriously, but he had his own plans.

These devils had never cared about brotherhood. Wait for their clansmen to come up and save them? They would probably have to wait until their next life. The Devil King naturally knew that the devils would never rely on other devils to survive.

Since the Blood Vine had already said this, the Devil King naturally knew that he had no reason to retreat. Since he had already risked everything to come this far, retreating now would be even more suicidal.

The Blood Vine was very sensible and waited at the side. He knew what choice the Great Devil King would make. He knew this group of devils very well.

As expected, after thinking for a while, the Devil King said to him, “Alright, since I’ve already followed you here, there’s no need to say anything else. Hurry up and go over. I hope that this passageway will really lead to the Devil Realm like you said.”

The Blood Vine had already lied. Now was not the time to be shy. He patted his chest and promised, “Your Majesty, don’t worry. There’s a seal there. As long as we undo the seal, we can reach the Devil Realm directly. Your Majesty can bring reinforcements from the Devil Realm.”

“If I can really return to the Devil Realm, I can give you a position of a general.”

“Then I have to thank Your Majesty for your gift!”

The two of them discussed for a while and arranged everything clearly. They spoke comfortably. After reaching an agreement, the two of them continued forward and entered through the entrance of the valley.

“Your Majesty, follow me carefully. Don’t underestimate this valley. This place is extremely dangerous. You might get injured if you’re not careful.”

“Didn’t you say that this place has been abandoned for thousands of years? How can there be any traps left?”

“Your Majesty, you might not know this, but this fortress was originally a construction plan of the highest standard. The mechanisms and treasures left behind are all protected by the highest standard. Even the village was sealed for thousands of years.

“Back then, there were extremely dangerous mechanisms set up here. However, after a huge battle, these mechanisms were all destroyed. There aren’t many left, but we still have to be careful.”

As the Blood Vine was talking to the Demon King, a small vine jumped out from Li Yuanqing’s shoulder and explained to him.

Li Yuanqing felt that something was wrong and asked him. “I remember you once said that this passageway should be dug out by the invaders of the Devil Realm. In that case, if there’s really a mechanism in this valley, shouldn’t it be set at the exit of that passageway to prevent the devils?”

Li Yuanqing felt that this was too strange. If it was to prevent the devils, the mechanism would definitely be set at the exit of the passageway. Only then could it unleash its greatest effect. However, these traps were set at the entrance of the valley. Then what was it for? This was too strange.

When the Blood Vine heard Li Yuanqing’s question, he was suddenly stunned. He did not expect Li Yuanqing to think of this. He had said it casually just now and had not thought about the consequences.

The Blood Vine thought for a moment and replied carefully, “Actually, this is the rest of the story. In the beginning, it was indeed the devils who invaded, but later on, this place became a very important fortress. There are some humans entrenched here, which is why there are so many traps.”

This explanation sounded reasonable.

Li Yuanqing did not harp on this question and continued to follow the two of them.

The two people in front had already arrived at the depths of the valley. Li Yuanqing did not walk over from their old path. Instead, he went up the mountain from the side.

The protruding hills around the valley were all very solid. They looked like they were made of the same material.

If one looked from afar, this place looked lifeless and lackluster. There were black stones everywhere, as if they had been burned clean after a huge battle. However, when he looked closer, he realized that these stones were all one. The organization structure was very tight, as if it had been carefully built by someone.

There were many platforms at the surrounding high points. These platforms were also made of black stones. Even after thousands of years of wind and rain, they were still very smooth and tough.

“Master, there are many traps all over this place. You have to be careful when you walk on it. Although most of the traps here were destroyed after the battle, and there aren’t as many as there are below, there are still some dangers. You should still be careful.”

The Blood Vine looked at the surrounding scene and seemed to have recalled something from the past. After a long silence, he finally said to Li Yuanqing.

Li Yuanqing stepped on one of the platforms and looked at the two people advancing along a strange route below.

“What’s under this platform? Why does it feel empty?” Li Yuanqing suddenly asked the Blood Vine.

“Down here,” The Blood Vine was about to answer when he laughed and said, “Master, aren’t you making things difficult for me? I’ve only heard about this place from others and haven’t done any special research. How would I know what’s down here? I think it might be some big rocks that others placed. They don’t look very eye-catching and shouldn’t be of any use.”

“Is that so? These stones have the effect of isolating divine senses, so they should be very precious. There are so many of these materials piled up here, and the stones used on the platform under our feet are so thick. It can’t be used as a platform to support our feet, right?”

The Blood Vine also pretended to say, “I think the people of the past are guilty of these. There should be a problem with their brains. These stones should be quite expensive, but it doesn’t seem to be of any use to put them here in big pieces. Why don’t we move these back and build our own house or something?”

Li Yuanqing turned to look at him. “I think these things should be useful here. Let’s not touch them for the time being.”

“Master, we’re going in. Should you follow quickly?”

As he spoke, he saw that the Devil King and the Blood Vine had already arrived at the entrance of a dark hall in the depths of the valley.

This magnificent hall was also pitch-black and deep. Large rocks were piled up tightly. One could only see a faint crack at the entrance.

Just standing below the hall made people feel small from the bottom of their hearts, as if they were looking at the most powerful display in the world.

The Devil King was a devil, but he did not feel this way. He only felt uncomfortable standing in front of the hall. Not only could this black stone isolate his divine sense, but it could also slowly absorb the devilish aura, suppressing the huge devilish aura on his body.

“What is this black stone? Why have I never seen it before?”

The Devil King looked up at the black hall and felt that something was wrong. Even if he was just outside, this power was already so powerful. If this power was even more oppressive after he entered, what would happen then?

Although the Devil King was gradually strengthening his determination, he could always discover more problems every time he went deeper. How strange was this place? It was filled with all kinds of troubles that he had never heard of or seen before. It really made him unable to make a decision.

The Blood Vine smiled and said, “Your Majesty, you’re already here. Do you still want to return? Wouldn’t that be a loss?”

“Why did you bring me here? This place is clearly specially used to deal with us devils. I think your intentions are not simple, right?”

The Devil King suddenly turned to look at the Blood Vine. Two red lights suddenly appeared in the darkness under the black cloak. These two red lights were very dazzling, as if they wanted to kill the Blood Vine.

The Blood Vine forced his body up and did not take a step back. He only stared at the Devil King. “Your Majesty, I came all the way here to offer advice. If Your Majesty welcomes me in this way, I don’t think there’s a need for us to cooperate anymore.”

“You want to leave?”

The aura on the Devil King’s body slowly surged. At this time, if the Blood Vine was really here to lie to him, he would kill him directly. Then, there would be no room for him to leave. If this kid had evil intentions, things would be much easier.

The Blood Vine hurriedly stopped in his tracks. He actually walked towards Li Yuanqing just now. On the other hand, he was still frantically asking Li Yuanqing for help. Li Yuanqing was already prepared on a mountain not far away.

However, at such a close distance, his master would probably not be able to arrive in time. Moreover, the Devil King was already suspicious, so the Blood Vine did not dare to continue walking forward.

The Blood Vine pretended to be calm and said, “Your Majesty, if you want to kill me, feel free to do so. In any case, my life is rotten. So what if I die? From the beginning, I have never thought of returning alive!”

He spoke passionately and took two steps forward, showing a heroic appearance in front of the Great Devil King, vowing not to fear death.

His actions stunned the Devil King. The Devil King sized him up skeptically. Not only did this guy integrate the strange characteristics of the humans, demons, and devils, but he also seemed to have gathered some of the advantages of these races.

Even someone as scheming as the Devil King could not tell if the Blood Vine in front of him was real or fake. He said it as if it was true, giving no reason to doubt it.

The Devil King slowly raised his hand. A very rich power slowly condensed on his dark hand. This power kept gathering together. The mass increased infinitely, but the volume kept shrinking, slowly forming a small black hole that condensed in his palm.

This small black hole vaguely emitted a powerful suction force. This force pulled every cell in the Blood Vine’s body, making him unable to stand.

The Blood Vine forcefully resisted the pressure from the suction force. This small energy ball had yet to be thrown out, but it already had such a huge deterrence. If the Devil King threw out this small ball, wouldn’t his soul be blown up?

Cold sweat broke out on the Blood Vine’s back, but his expression remained unchanged. He did not dare to have any intention of retreating now. This was a game of chess between him and the Devil King. If he took a step back, the outcome would probably be death.

After a while, the Blood Vine suddenly said to the Great Devil King, “Your Majesty, since you’re already prepared, why aren’t you attacking? Since Your Majesty thinks that I’m just an opportunist, just kill me. Why are you in a dilemma and thinking about something?”

After the Blood Vine finished speaking, the Devil King finally put down his hands and slowly looked at the Blood Vine. “Kid, you’re quite bold. I’ll believe you again.”

Although the Blood Vine sounded very domineering, he was already panicking in his heart. If this Devil King took things too hard and smashed down on him, he would be a dead person now. How could he have so much room to brag?

He suddenly turned around and walked into the hall.

“Since Your Majesty has already made up your mind, let’s continue forward. The opportunity is here. No one can hesitate.”
