Changsheng: My qualifications improve a little every day

Fang Yue, the fox girl and the old turtle were running wildly in the palace, with the demons chasing them closely behind.

They walked through the intricate corridors, and the surrounding scenes passed by like phantoms.

"We can't keep running like this, we have to find a place to hide." Fang Yue said as he ran.

The old turtle nodded: "Yes, if we continue like this, our physical strength will be exhausted and we will easily fall into a dead end."

Just then, they found a fork in the road ahead. The passage on the left was filled with mysterious fog, while strange energy fluctuations came from the right.

"Which way?" the fox girl asked anxiously.

Fang Yue thought for a moment and said, "The fog on the left may be able to hide our tracks. Let's go to the left."

They rushed into the fog without hesitation. The fog was cold and damp, with an ancient and mysterious atmosphere, and visibility was extremely low.

But they didn't dare to stop and could only move forward based on their feelings.

After running for an unknown amount of time in the fog, they found a hidden cave.

The entrance to the cave is very small and is surrounded by moss and vines. It is difficult to find if you don't look carefully.

"Go in and hide first."

Fang Yue said this and took the lead into the cave.

The cave was more spacious than they had imagined. The walls were inlaid with crystals that emitted faint light, barely enough to illuminate the surrounding environment.

Old Turtle observed his surroundings vigilantly: "It's safe here for now, but we have to find a way to get rid of the demon tribe, and we have to go back to find out the secret of the book and the origin of the two tribes."

Soon the demons discovered them. A sharp demon eagle circled in the air and discovered the moss and vines disturbed by them at the entrance of the cave. It made a sharp cry to send a signal to other demons.

Upon hearing this, the Lord immediately led the demon tribe to the cave. Fang Yue and his companions in the cave heard the noise coming from outside, and their faces became solemn.

"You two go first, those monsters are targeting me!"

A trace of determination flashed in Fang Yue's eyes, and he pushed the fox girl and the old turtle deeper into the cave.

But Old Turtle shook his head: "Fang Yue, we are together, how can I abandon you at this moment. If we want to go, we go together, if we want to fight, we fight together."

The fox girl also stood firmly beside Fang Yue: "Yes, we have been through so much together, I will not leave."

Fang Yue felt a warm current in his heart, but he knew very well that the situation was critical at this moment: "There is no time to argue. We can't all be blocked here. You guys find a chance to get out first, and I'll hold them back."

However, the demons were already approaching the cave. The Lord's voice rang out from outside the cave: "Fang Yue, you can't escape!"

As the Lord's voice echoed outside the cave, Fang Yue was ready for battle. He held his weapon tightly, his eyes revealed fearlessness, and stood in the center of the cave like a solid fortress.

The fox girl and the old turtle looked at Fang Yue's back, their eyes full of admiration and reluctance. The fox girl bit her lip, tears flashing in her eyes: "Fang Yue, you must be careful."

The old turtle took out a small object that was emitting faint light from his arms and handed it to Fang Yue: "This is a magical weapon for my clan to protect themselves. Maybe it can help you at a critical moment."

Fang Yue took the magic weapon and nodded: "Thank you, please find another exit."

At this time, the demons had already rushed into the cave.

The Lord walked in front, his eyes full of anger and murderous intent. Seeing Fang Yue standing there alone, he sneered: "Fang Yue, you are quite courageous, but today is the day you die."

Fang Yue responded fearlessly: "Humph, if we are on different paths, we cannot work together. Lord, you are stubborn and insist on provoking disputes between the two tribes, which will only make our relatives sad and our enemies happy. We are of the same origin, but you are blinded by hatred and cannot see the truth."

The Lord laughed in anger: "Same origin? Haven't the sins committed by the human race against our demon race been enough? Today I will seek justice for the demon race."

After saying that, he took the lead and a sharp black light shot out from his hand and went straight towards Fang Yue.

Fang Yue dodged to the side, and the black light hit the wall of the cave, splashing up a shower of gravel.

He knew that the Lord was too powerful and he could not confront him head-on. He could only rely on his agile body to dodge attacks and look for opportunities to counterattack.

The monsters also cast spells one after another. For a moment, the cave was filled with flickering light, and all kinds of attacks came towards Fang Yue like an overwhelming force.

Fang Yue shuttled between the attacks, waving the weapon in his hand constantly to block those close-range attacks.

Fang Yue shuttled through the gaps in the monster's attack, always looking for a chance to break through. Suddenly, he found a short gap on the right side of the monster's encirclement, because a few monsters had a momentary delay in connecting their magic power after casting a spell.

Fang Yue's eyes flashed, and he seized this fleeting opportunity and rushed to the right. He gathered the strength in his body to his feet, and shot out like an arrow. Seeing this, the Lord shouted, "Stop him!" But Fang Yue was too fast. He dodged several spells shot at him and rushed out of the encirclement of the demon clan.

After rushing out of the cave, the fog outside was still thick. Fang Yue did not stop at all and ran in the other direction of the palace. He knew that he could not let the demons catch up with him easily again, so he had to find a more advantageous place.

The Lord led the demon tribe in pursuit, they ran wildly in the mist, and their angry roars echoed in the palace. Fang Yue observed the surrounding environment while running, and he found a place similar to a garden not far away, with some strange plants in it. The branches and leaves of these plants swayed in the mist, and seemed to hide some mysterious power.

Fang Yue rushed into the garden without hesitation. As soon as he entered the garden, he felt a strange force affecting his perception, as if the space around him was distorted. But he didn't have time to think about it, because the demons had already chased him in.

The Lord looked at the surroundings and frowned: "Fang Yue, do you think you can escape by hiding here?" He ordered the demons to disperse and search. Fang Yue used the plants in the garden as cover and quietly moved deeper into the garden. He found that some of the plants here could release smoke to confuse the enemy, and some had tough vines that could be used as a defensive tool.

He quietly broke off a few vines and hid them in his hands, ready to use at the critical moment.

Just then, a demon discovered his trail and sounded the alarm.

Fang Yue secretly thought that something was wrong and he quickly rushed towards the demon who had sounded the alarm. The moment he got close, he swung out the vines in his hand, and the vines wrapped around the demon like a snake, binding it.

But other monsters quickly surrounded him, and Fang Yue was surrounded again.

He had his back against a huge flower, which was emitting a faint light, as if providing him with some kind of shelter.

The Lord walked over slowly, with a smug smile on his face: "Fang Yue, let's see where you can run this time."

Fang Yue gripped his weapon tightly, looking at the Lord and the demon clan with a firm gaze, preparing for the upcoming battle.

He knew that he had to hold on and wait for the fox girl and the old turtle to get out of their predicament. Perhaps they still had a chance of survival.

Fang Yue glanced at the monsters around him, his brain working rapidly, thinking about how to escape.

He noticed that there were some thick branches above his head that were intertwined, forming a natural trellis.

He came up with an idea and suddenly rushed towards a huge rock nearby, pretending to break out from there.

Upon seeing this, the monsters gathered in the direction of the boulder.

The moment Fang Yue approached the boulder, he turned around abruptly, used the momentum to jump high, and reached out to grab the branch above his head.

He swung hard and landed lightly on the branch. "Chase! He's in the tree!" the Lord roared.

Some of the monsters cast flying spells, while others climbed along the tree trunks and chased after Fang Yue.

Fang Yue quickly shuttled between the branches, using the dense branches and leaves to hide his figure.

He saw an extremely huge ancient tree not far away, with a huge hole on its trunk.

Fang Yue ran towards the ancient tree. When he was about to reach the tree hole, he picked some leaves with confusing smoke from the tree and threw them behind him.

The smoke spread quickly, and the demons chasing behind were shrouded in the smoke. For a moment, their formation was in chaos and they collided with each other.

Fang Yue took the opportunity to crawl into the tree hole. The tree hole was very spacious and filled with a mysterious fragrance.

He found a glowing rune deep in the tree hole, and the light of the rune seemed to be similar to some power in the palace before.

Fang Yue approached the rune cautiously, wanting to see if he could use it to get rid of the demons.

At this moment, the Lord's voice came from outside the tree hole: "Fang Yue, you can't escape. I can feel your breath."

The Lord led some demons to break through the smoke barrier and arrived in front of the tree hole.

Fang Yue clenched his fists and stared at the figure of the Lord outside the tree hole.

He knew that a fierce battle was coming, and this rune might be his last hope.

The Lord stood in front of the tree hole, his eyes full of anger and disdain: "Fang Yue, do you think this small tree hole can stop me?"

As he spoke, a ball of black energy condensed in his hand and blasted towards the tree hole.

Fang Yue quickly dodged to the side, and the black energy hit the inner wall of the tree hole, splashing up a cloud of wood chips.

He looked at the Lord and shouted, "Lord, if you insist on doing this, it will only put more demons in danger."

The Lord sneered: "Don't try to quibble. Today is the day you die."

After that, he commanded the demons to attack the tree hole together. Suddenly, all kinds of magic lights flew towards the tree hole.

Fang Yue dodged the attacks while carefully observing the runes.

He found that the light on the rune flickered faster after being hit by the attack.

He was inspired. Could it be that this rune required powerful energy stimulation?

Just as the attacks of the demons became more and more fierce, Fang Yue seized the opportunity and injected his power into the rune.

The rune shone brightly, instantly releasing a powerful energy wave that blew away all the monsters around the tree hole.

The Lord was also knocked back a few steps by the energy wave, but he quickly stabilized himself, with a stronger murderous intent in his eyes: "Humph, you have some skills, but this is not enough."

Fang Yue took advantage of this opportunity and rushed out from another exit of the tree hole.

He found himself in a strange place with an ancient stone bridge and a river with mysterious light flowing under the bridge.

He ran towards the stone bridge, with the Lord and the demons chasing him closely.

When he stepped onto the stone bridge, he felt an ancient and mysterious power transmitted to him from the bridge.

He found some ancient words engraved on the railings of the stone bridge, which seemed to tell a secret about the palace.

Fang Yue ran while trying hard to decipher the words, hoping to find a way to escape from the demon clan.

Suddenly, Fang Yue deciphered some information from the text, which seemed to mention that this stone bridge had some special restriction mechanism that could hinder pursuers.

He quickened his pace and ran towards the center of the stone bridge, while keeping an eye on the movements of the demons behind him.

The Lord led the demon tribe to chase to the stone bridge. As soon as they stepped onto the stone bridge, they felt an invisible force beginning to suppress their magic power.

"What the hell is this place?"

The Lord frowned, but the murderous intent in his eyes remained unabated, and he still drove the demon tribe to continue chasing Fang Yue.

Fang Yue ran to the center of the stone bridge and found a small stone platform with some complex patterns engraved on it. These patterns were somewhat similar to the mysterious symbols he had seen in various places in the palace before.

He moved closer to the stone platform, trying to find more clues from the patterns.

At this time, under the pressure of the Lord, the demon clan forcibly broke through part of the restrictive force of the stone bridge and continued to approach Fang Yue.

Fang Yue's heart tightened, he knew that time was running out.

Just then, he discovered that there was a slight depression in the pattern on the stone platform, shaped like some special key.

Fang Yue's mind quickly flashed through the various items he had seen when exploring the palace before. Suddenly, he remembered the ancient scroll he saw on the stone platform in the side hall.

Some of the graphics and symbols on the scroll seem to have some connection with the patterns here.

He tried to concentrate the strength in his body into his fingers, and drew the corresponding symbols in the depressions according to the memory on the scroll.

Just when the last stroke was completed, the stone bridge suddenly shook violently, and the mysterious river of light flowing under the bridge seemed to be summoned. The light shot up into the sky and formed a curtain of light around the stone bridge.

Strange runes flashed on the light curtain, emitting powerful energy fluctuations that repelled the attacks of the demons.

Upon seeing this, the Lord's face became even gloomier. He increased his strength to attack the light curtain, trying to break through by force.

Fang Yue took advantage of this gap to continue observing the stone platform.

He found that the stone platform had undergone new changes under the stimulation of the power of the light curtain. The complex patterns began to flicker, as if conveying some kind of information.

Fang Yue concentrated on interpreting the pattern's flashing patterns. He found that these flashing patterns seemed to form a series of pictures, which showed that there was a hidden mechanism at the end of the stone bridge. Activating the mechanism could open a passage leading deeper into the palace, where the key to resolving the dispute between the two tribes might be hidden.

At this time, the Lord's attack caused the light curtain to begin to show some unstable fluctuations, and the light became flickering.

Fang Yue knew that once the light curtain was broken, he would be in desperate situation again.

He must quickly uncover the secret of the stone platform pattern and activate the mechanism at the end of the stone bridge. (End of this chapter)
