Changsheng: My qualifications improve a little every day

In the streets of the demon city, Fang Yue tried his best to make himself look like an ordinary demon.

He would occasionally stop in some busy corners and listen to the conversations of the monsters around him.

Once, near a tavern, he heard two little demons whispering.

"I heard that the secret treasure that the Wind Patrol Demon King obtained is very special. It is said to be related to some mysterious place."

"Shh, keep your voice down. Don't talk about this. It will be troublesome if the demon kings hear it."

Fang Yue's heart tightened. A mysterious place?

This coincided with the place they had been looking for.

He felt more and more that the news about this secret treasure was of great significance, and became more determined to find out the truth.

He continued to wander around the tavern, hoping to hear more news about hidden treasures and mysterious places.

However, the two little demons seemed to have noticed something and left in a hurry.

Fang Yue had no choice but to look for information elsewhere.

He came to the market in the monster city, where people were coming and going and monsters were conducting various transactions.

He mingled among the crowd, paying attention to the conversations of the monsters around him.

Suddenly, he heard an old monster complaining to another monster: "The Monster City has been in turmoil lately. I heard that the Wind Patrol Monster King has a secret treasure. Who knows what trouble he will cause."

Another monster responded: "Who knows, maybe it's to fight for more power. But if this secret treasure is really related to the mysterious place, it will be troublesome."

Fang Yue listened to their conversation silently, thinking about the authenticity of this information.

He knew that these rumors alone could not confirm the authenticity of the treasure or its specific connection with the mysterious place, but at least they gave him some clues.

Fang Yue's heart tightened. A mysterious place? This coincided with the place they had been looking for. He felt that the news of this secret treasure was very important, and he became more determined to find out the truth.

There was only one thing that made him hesitate.

That's just too much of a coincidence!
Fang Yue stood in the corner of the market, his brows furrowed, doubts in his heart hanging over him like a dark cloud.

This series of coincidences was so bizarre that he couldn't help but wonder if there was a huge trap hidden behind it.

He thought quietly, replaying in his mind every word he had heard since entering the demon city.

Those rumors about hidden treasures and mysterious places were like faint threads, leading him towards unknown dangers.

However, the mysterious place has a huge attraction for them. It is their hope to escape the pursuit of the demon city and change their destiny.

Fang Yue took a deep breath and tried to calm down.

He decided that he could no longer run around like a headless fly trying to find information, but instead act more strategically.

First, he needed to determine the source of these rumors and see if he could find some clues to determine their authenticity.

Fang Yue began to pay attention to the monsters that spread news in the market and observe their words and actions.

He found that some monsters seemed to be particularly interested in the secret treasure and were always guiding the topic intentionally or unintentionally.

He quietly followed one of the more suspicious-looking monsters, wanting to see what he was up to.

After walking around the market for a few times, the monster walked into a remote alley.

Fang Yue followed carefully behind, keeping a sufficient distance to avoid being discovered.

The monster came to a dilapidated house and knocked gently on the door.

The door opened and a short monster walked out. The two talked in a low voice for a few words, then walked into the house together.

Fang Yue's heart moved, and he quietly approached the house, trying to eavesdrop on the conversation inside.

But the soundproofing of the house seemed to be very good, and he could only vaguely hear some vague sounds.

He was unwilling to give up, so he looked for other clues around the house.

At the back of the house, he found a small window. Fang Yue approached the window cautiously and looked inside through the gap.

I saw the two monsters sitting around a table with some papers and maps on the table.

They seemed to be discussing something important, but Fang Yue couldn't hear the specific content.

At this moment, Fang Yue suddenly felt a powerful aura approaching.

He was startled and quickly hid in the shadows nearby.

A moment later, a tall monster appeared at the entrance of the alley, his eyes sharp as he scanned the surrounding environment.

Fang Yue recognized that this monster was one of the guards of the monster city, and thought to himself that something was wrong.

The guard walked around the alley, didn't seem to find anything unusual, and then turned and left.

Fang Yue breathed a sigh of relief, but he knew he couldn't stay here any longer.

He quietly left the alley and returned to the market.

After Fang Yue returned to the market, the doubts in his heart became heavier.

He realized that he had attracted some unwanted attention and had to be more careful.

He found a relatively quiet corner in the market and reorganized his thoughts.

What do all those papers and maps mean?
Could the important matter those two monsters were discussing be related to the secret treasure and the mysterious place?

Fang Yue racked his brains to think of various possibilities.

He knew that solving this mystery could not rely solely on accidental discoveries, but required more in-depth investigation and analysis.

Fang Yue decided to approach it from another angle and look for some monsters who were more familiar with the history and legends of the Monster City.

Maybe they can provide some clues about mysterious places and hidden treasures.

He asked around in the market and finally found an old monster who was said to be very familiar with the ancient legends of the monster city.

Fang Yue approached the old monster cautiously and said respectfully, "Senior, I heard that you are very knowledgeable about the history and legends of the Monster City, so I came here to ask for your advice."

The old monster squinted his eyes and looked at Fang Yue. "What do you want to ask?"

Fang Yue quickly said, "I would like to ask if you know anything about the mysterious place and the secret treasure that has been rumored recently?"

The old demon's expression changed slightly, "These things are not something a little demon like you should inquire about."

Fang Yue said sincerely: "Senior, I am just curious about these legends, and I have no ill intentions. I hope you can give me some advice."

The old monster was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "The mysterious land has always been a mysterious and dangerous place in the legend of the monster city. It is said that there is a powerful force hidden there, but it is also full of unknown dangers. As for the secret treasure, I have only heard some rumors and I don't know the details."

Fang Yue's heart tightened, and he continued to ask: "Then do you know any way to find the mysterious place?"

The old monster shook his head and said, "The location of the mysterious land has always been a mystery, and no one knows the exact method. However, it is said that the mysterious land will only appear under certain times and conditions."

Fang Yue fell into deep thought.

Certain times and conditions? What does that mean?

He felt as if he had grasped some clues, but he couldn't fully understand it.

After saying goodbye to the old monster, Fang Yue decided to go back to the dilapidated house again to see if he could find more clues.

He carefully avoided the guards of the demon city and came to the entrance of the alley.

This time, he observed his surroundings more carefully to make sure he was not discovered.

As Fang Yue got closer to the dilapidated house, his heart beat faster involuntarily.

He didn't know what he would discover this time, but the strong curiosity deep in his heart drove him to move forward.

He walked quietly to the back window of the house and looked inside through the gap again.

However, this time the room was empty, and the papers and maps on the table were gone.

Fang Yue felt a sense of loss, but he did not give up.

He began to search carefully around the house, hoping to find some remaining clues.

On the side of the house, he found some shallow footprints, which seemed to be left by someone leaving in a hurry.

Fang Yue followed the direction of the footprints, trying to track the whereabouts of the two monsters.

The footprints meandered through the alley and finally disappeared at a fork in the road.

Fang Yue stood at the fork in the road, hesitant. He didn't know which way to choose to continue the pursuit.

Just then, he heard a slight sound, as if someone was talking not far away.

He immediately became alert and quietly approached the direction where the sound came from.

As he got closer, the sound became clearer.

He heard a monster's voice saying, "We must be careful this time. We can't let anyone discover our plan."

Another monster responded: "Don't worry, as long as we get the secret treasure, we can find the mysterious place, and then we will have great power."

Fang Yue's heart suddenly moved, and he made a bold decision in an instant.

He no longer hesitated, his figure flashed like a ghost, and he suddenly captured and killed the two monsters.

The two monsters fell to the ground before they could even let out a complete scream.

Fang Yue's heartbeat quickened rapidly. He knew that what he was doing was extremely risky, but he couldn't care less at the moment.

He quickly searched the two monsters, hoping to find more clues about the hidden treasure and mysterious place.

He dug out some scattered papers with some unclear words and a strange pattern on them.

Fang Yue frowned, trying hard to decipher the meaning of these words and patterns, but he had no clue for the moment.

At this moment, Fang Yue's heart was filled with tension and anxiety.

He knew that his actions in the Demon City were becoming increasingly dangerous, and if he was discovered, the consequences would be disastrous.

But he also understood that in order to find the mysterious place and escape the pursuit of the demon city, he must face these risks bravely.

Fang Yue carefully put away the papers and patterns, then quickly left the scene.

He walked along a secluded path, trying his best to avoid the guards of the demon city and other demons, and headed towards the boundless swamp.

~~~~~~~~
at the same time,

In the monster city, the Lord looked at the two monsters that were killed, with a slight smile on his face.

"It seems that human has been here. Let's see how he can escape from my grasp this time!"

The news, maps, and secret codes that were spread were all traps set by the Demon City Lord to lure Fang Yue into the trap.

Of course, all the things are real, only in this way can Fang Yue be attracted to join the game.

The Lord knew very well Fang Yue’s desire for the mysterious land, and he believed that this bait was tempting enough.

In the boundless swamp, Fang Yue hurried back to his hiding place with the fox girl and the turtle old man.

He showed them his experience in the demon city and the papers and patterns he obtained.

The fox girl looked at these mysterious clues, feeling both excited and worried.

"Fang Yue, can these things really help us find the mysterious place? Could it be a trap in the demon city?" asked the fox girl.

Fang Yue frowned, thinking about the fox girl's question.

He knew that this was most likely a trap, but these things, after being verified by Old Turtle, were all true.

Fang Yue looked at the fox girl and Turtle Master, and said solemnly: "Although these things have been verified by Turtle Master to be true, we cannot take it lightly.

The Demon City Lord must have had his own agenda in setting this trap."

The fox girl bit her lip, her eyes revealing a hint of uneasiness: "Then what should we do?
If we continue to pursue the mysterious place, we may fall into the trap of the demon city; but if we give up, we will lose another opportunity to change our destiny. "

After thinking for a moment, Turtle said, "We can't be easily swayed by fear. Since these clues are true, it means that the mysterious place does exist.

We can carefully follow these clues, but we must always remain vigilant and be prepared for various dangers."

Fang Yue nodded: "Old Turtle is right. We can't give up hope just because we are afraid of traps. We need to analyze these clues carefully and find the safest path to explore."

They began to carefully study the blurred words and strange patterns on the papers.

With his rich knowledge and experience, Mr. Gui tried hard to interpret the meaning.

Fang Yue used his wisdom and insight to analyze from different angles where these clues might point to.

After some effort, they seemed to have found some clues.

The strange pattern seemed to be related to a specific area in the boundless swamp, and the words might be a guide.

"If we can determine the area represented by this pattern, perhaps we can find clues to the mysterious place," Fang Yue said.

There was a glimmer of hope in the fox girl's eyes: "Then let's set off quickly."

Fang Yue shook his head: "No, we can't act rashly. The people in the demon city must be secretly monitoring us. We must think of a foolproof plan."

They began to discuss how to explore the area that might be related to the mysterious land without being discovered by the demon city.

They decide to use Swamp Thing's powers, allowing it to provide them with cover and assistance.

Under the protection of the swamp monster, they carefully moved towards the area.

Along the way, they were always alert to the surrounding movements and took every step with extreme caution. The fog in the swamp was still thick, adding a bit of mystery and uneasiness to their actions.

The fox girl snuggled up to Fang Yue, her eyes showing both nervousness and anticipation. "Fang Yue, do you think we can really find the mysterious place?"

Fang Yue gently patted the fox girl's hand and comforted her: "As long as we don't give up, there is hope. But we must be careful not to let the people in the demon city discover our whereabouts." (End of this chapter)
