Chapter 269
The Taoist priest tried to see the scenery on the other side through the door, but found that there seemed to be infinite darkness on the other side of the door, blocking all his sight and perception.
"...Brother Fang, is this door you opened...all right?" The Taoist priest was a little hesitant. He didn't know whether he should enter the door - in this situation where he couldn't see anything, he entered. A place that is completely unknown but definitely full of dangers is really not a wise choice! Fang Yuan saw the Taoist priest's expression and knew what he was worried about, so he immediately said: "Don't worry, your space sensing ability is not as good as mine, so you can't see it.
But I can 'see' clearly that there is no too powerful threat on the other side of the door, just some miscellaneous fish demons. "
"Some? Miscellaneous fish?" The Taoist priest was a little wary - after seeing Fang Yuan mistaking the three-headed hell dog that looked very powerful just now as a miscellaneous fish, the Taoist priest already knew that the other party's standards in this regard were the same as those of ordinary people. It's different, and it's different from him, so in order to ensure your own safety, it's necessary to ask clearly: "How many are there? And how miscellaneous is that trash fish?" "Don't worry, it's not like that big dog just now The same high-level demons, just a few times more in number than what we encountered on the road before, so it’s not a big deal..." After hearing the first half of Fang Yuan's words, the Taoist priest finally felt relieved. However, When Fang Yuan finished speaking, he knew that he was still too naive... There were several times more demons than the ones he had encountered before... Is this just "some"? ! ! Although a single miscellaneous devil is indeed a miscellaneous fish in the eyes of a Taoist priest, and several of them can be destroyed with one palm thunder, but if the number of such miscellaneous fish reaches a certain level, they do not have the ability of endless mana like Fang Yuan. Taoist priests can’t bear it either! "Okay, boss, everything is up to you!" The Taoist priest has made up his mind. After entering the door later, he will not take action if he can. Everything will be left to Fang Yuan, the real... Boss! "..." Facing the Taoist priest's laziness, Fang Yuan could only shake his head, and took the first step towards the fully opened space channel.
When he took one step forward, he felt the light and shadow changing before his eyes. The next moment, he was already standing in a world completely different from the main world.
Although there is a sky here, the color of the sky is bluish-purple. Although the brightness cannot be said to be weak, it strangely does not make the whole world feel bright. Instead, it makes the world look particularly dark and gloomy.
The earth here is not like the hells promoted by some religions, which are covered with scorching magma. All demons and souls have to endure the burning pain in the flames. On the contrary, the earth here looks different from ordinary ones. The wilderness is not that different.
It's just that the unique environment and climate of the demon world here, the special species produced are completely different from those in the main world, and the terrain is also extremely strange and changeable. Many landform features that are impossible to appear on the earth can be seen everywhere in this world.
When Fang Yuan arrived here, he habitually assessed the surrounding environment as soon as he arrived: "The gravity is similar to that on the earth, but it is slightly larger, about 1.3G... The main components of air are nitrogen and oxygen. , the ratio is similar to that of the Earth, but it is mixed with some poisonous gases and a unique evil aura, which is not suitable for ordinary people to live..." While assessing, Fang Yuan also casually used alchemy to kill large groups of miscellaneous fish in the surrounding area. The devil instantly cleared a safe place to descend.
"Cough, cough, cough! Damn it! My magic to avoid dust and remove dirt has failed!" At this moment, the Taoist priest coughed and complained from behind.
Fang Yuan looked back and saw that the Taoist priest's aura suddenly became exhausted, and the magical aura he had gained through intensive cultivation was even vaguely rejected by the whole world.
Only then did he suddenly realize that this so-called "secret realm" had a more critical and fatal problem - the extraordinary laws here were completely different from those in the main world! The second update is completed.
')533'\u003eChapter 532 Differences in Laws, World Merger, Finding the Source
Seeing that the Taoist priest was choked by the toxic atmosphere in the secret realm because his protective spell was accidentally broken, Fang Yuancai discovered with some hindsight that not only was the ecological environment here different from the main world on the surface, but there were even huge differences in the deeper levels of laws. difference! This is mainly because he possesses the Gate of Truth. With the blessing of the Gate of Truth, he can completely ignore the differences in laws between many different worlds and freely use any extraordinary power he has mastered.
But Taoist priests who don’t have such benefits can’t do it. As soon as they come in, they are tricked. First, a large mouthful of poisonous gas is inhaled into their lungs. If he hadn’t been successful in cultivating Taoism, his body would have been reborn. Just this breath would have killed him. Half life.
"This is indeed not an ordinary secret realm. It seems that even the laws are different. Your magical powers and spells cannot be used here!" Fang Yuan said this, but had no intention of stepping forward to help.
But the Taoist priest didn't actually need his help. He was just startled by the sudden accident and choked by the pungent smell of the atmosphere.
When a Taoist priest switches from external breathing to internal breathing, he immediately eliminates the poisonous gases from the outside world, and there is no risk of poisoning.
——Of course, in this case, he couldn't speak, and could only talk to Fang Yuan through spiritual communication: [Oh my god, I almost choked the Taoist Master... By the way, those aliens who entered the secret realm to explore before... This has never happened to the able ones! Why did it become like this when I came here? ! 】 As a Taoist monk who is proficient in the unity of heaven and man, he is very sensitive to changes in the laws of the external environment. He immediately knew why his spell suddenly failed.
However, as he said, when this "secret realm" was just opened, China sent a group of exploration troops, including many superpowers, but there was no such thing as power failure. This is really strange. Got it! "Maybe it's because the place they entered before is no longer the territory of the demon world!" Fang Yuan said.
【……How to say? 】The Taoist priest asked curiously.
"Based on my current feeling, this 'secret realm' that is suspected of being a demon world may no longer be regarded as a secret realm. It should be regarded as a relatively independent world, and its relationship with the main world is not a simple integration and being. Integration, maybe another kind..." Fang Yuan did not continue, but the Taoist priest already understood what he meant: "Is it the collision and confrontation between worlds... Is it possible that the place we sent people to before, Is it the area that has been digested by our world? 】 The Taoist priest is also a lively thinker, and he immediately thought of this.
And his idea is obviously not unreasonable. If the world is compared to a living creature, the collision and annexation between the two worlds is like two hungry beasts fighting and devouring each other. The devil can use the devil tree to follow the master. This side of the world extracts a large amount of human blood and souls, and the main world can naturally tear off part of the demon world and transform it into its own territory.
Of course, this kind of "tearing off" is not tearing in the physical sense, but should be closer to covering and rewriting at the level of laws. The laws of some areas of the Demon World have been covered by the main world, while other areas have not.
This also led to the different experiences of two different groups of people with extraordinary abilities after entering the demon world.
Although all this is just a hypothesis so far, at least Fang Yuan and Taoist believe that the possibility of this situation is very high.
[In other words, the place we are entering now is the territory that truly belongs to this ‘demon world’! 】 By this time, the Taoist priests also directly called this place "the devil world".
"Because of this, your magical powers are now rejected by the world itself due to 'incompatible formats', and you can't use any spells! You have to take it easy on the next journey, don't accidentally die here!" Fang Yuan kindly reminded him - no matter what, the Taoist priest was his rare friend and fellow Taoist, and he didn't want him to really die here.
[Don't worry, although most of the spells are indeed unusable, my real body is still there. I can still train my magic power in my body and cast spells to strengthen myself. At most, it is just a matter of changing my profession from a mage to a warrior. Worry about my fighting ability! 】 The Taoist priest waved his hand, took off the magic sword that he had been carrying behind his back, and performed a sword gesture. The tone revealed in his spiritual thoughts was full of confidence - the real Taoist is not the fragile body and weak blood in Western fantasy. Master Pi is a "double practitioner of magic and martial arts" in the true sense. He is capable of both literature and martial arts, spells and combat. Even a true Taoist priest can kill people on the battlefield even if he mentions a magic sword! Fang Yuan had received a complete set of Taoist inheritance from the Taoist priest, so he naturally knew this. Seeing the confident look on the Taoist priest's face, he didn't say anything more.
The most urgent task is to find the source of the Devil Tree first! However, it is not that easy to find the source of the Devil Tree.
The first thing is that this "secret realm" that is almost certainly the devil's realm is too big! Different from all the secret realms that have appeared in human history in the past, the size of this demon world can be said to be unprecedented. Based on the detection results of the previously dispatched troops and Fang Yuan's own detection ability, he can already determine that this demon world is It's not much smaller than the Earth in area.
However, unlike the earth, this world is not a planetary structure, but is somewhat similar to the "round sky and earth" in myths and legends, or more accurately, the crystal wall plane structure, which makes many of Fang Yuan's detection methods difficult. It cannot be used, so it is not possible to give an accurate figure for the specific size of this demon world.
And in such a huge demon world, the terrain is extremely complex. Without a map, there is only one way to find the true source of the devil tree - follow its root system.
But since the "Devil's Tree" is called a "tree", no matter how unlike a plant its carnivorous habits and strong aggression are, one thing cannot be changed - its root system is the same as that of other plants. They all exist deep underground, and the roots are intricate. It is not easy to find and locate the real core! Of course, the first thing they have to deal with is the approaching demon army - in their field of vision, the demons all over the mountains and plains are already surrounding them, ready to attack at any time! ……A few minutes later——【Brother Fang, how should we go next? 】 After Fang Yuan used a large-scale refinement to clear away all the demons within at least several kilometers around him, the Taoist priest who couldn't find a chance to draw his sword could only "draw his sword and look around with a confused heart". He couldn't help but put away his sword with some sarcasm, and changed the topic and asked .
"..." Fang Yuan glanced at the Taoist priest speechlessly, shook his head, and walked to the root of a devil tree that he deliberately left behind. He pressed his hand on the rough bark surface and sensed its internal transmission. direction of blood flow.
——Since the Demonic Tree collects human blood in the main world, the final direction of this blood must be its true core. This is the only clue that can be found so far.
')534'\u003eChapter 533: Latecomers follow suit \u0026 the devil world needs the Family Planning Commission
And just when Fang Yuan and the Taoist priest were following the roots of the Devil's Tree to find its source, in the main world, the group of official American superpowers finally returned to the ground from the tree trunk and came to In front of the underground passage created by Fang Yuan using alchemy.
"...With this kind of power to change the terrain, is it possible that one of those two people has the ability of the earth and stone system?" someone in the team asked.
"Maybe, but there are actually many abilities that can create such a scene. You can't tell much just by looking here."
The captain said this, then turned to look at the girl with glasses beside him: "How is it? How is the situation deep in this passage?" "Uh, how should I put it..." Zheng pressed his temple with one hand and closed his eyes to activate The girl with glasses who had the ability to telepathize opened her eyes and said with a somewhat complicated expression: "This passage can be said to be a straight line, without any turns or changes of direction in the middle. It seems that there are not many demons seen along the way, but no matter how deep it is, it will be beyond My sensing range is up, so I don’t know what’s going on at the deepest level.”
"A straight line?" The captain noticed this statement.
"Yes, it's just a straight line. Whether it encounters sewers, subways, or weird tree roots in the middle, everything goes straight across it, as if this passage was blasted directly with some kind of beam cannon. "It's too straight..." said the girl with glasses.
"However, there are no burning traces of high-energy ray bombardment on the surface of this passage..." The captain turned and pointed at the side walls around the passage.
"Perhaps the guy who built this passage has an obsessive-compulsive disorder?" Someone said in a joking tone: "Look, he or she actually reinforced this passage. It's as neat as if it was constructed by the subway tunnel department. "The same thing!" This refers to the reinforced beams and columns that appear at regular intervals in the passage. Because they are from Fang Yuan's alchemy, they are really neat and orderly as if they were built by professional construction workers.
"...Maybe, but this also shows that this unknown superpower is really powerful. He can create such a long passage in a short time, and he can still make such an arrangement with ease."
The captain nodded, but he saw something on another level from these reinforced beams.
"So, are we going to follow?" The bespectacled girl looked at the deep tunnel ahead. Although there were almost no demons in it through her mental telepathy, she still felt a little nervous because of human's instinct to fear the dark.
"Follow me, no matter what, this is the land of the United States. We have an obligation to investigate who the two superpowers are. Similarly, this is also closely related to the disaster that happened in this city. We must go One trip!" With that said, the captain took out the portable night vision device from his tactical backpack, put it on his head, and led the way towards the tunnel.
As the "eyes" of the team, the girl with glasses immediately followed the captain's example after being stunned for half a second.
The team members behind him looked at each other, shrugged, and followed suit.
... Fang Yuan and the Taoist priest didn't know that someone on the other side of the main world was walking the same path they took.
For the two of them, the journey to follow the roots of the Devil's Tree can be said to be very boring, but it can also be said to be very exciting and "hot".
Well, this is not a contradiction, because this demon tree, which is regarded as the tree of life by the people of the demon world, itself has a symbiotic relationship with many demons in the form of insects. Therefore, the journey of Fang Yuan and the two basically started from The process of fighting through a group of demons.
There are so many demons of all kinds that it is impossible to kill them all. Once one group dies, another group will appear immediately. Although Fang Yuan can use alchemy and other mass-destructive techniques to clear out all the demons in the field of vision at once, But by repeating this kind of work all the time, he had really become bored with killing demons.
"Damn, the demons in this demon world are really endless!" Another high-energy particle cannon fired, vaporizing all the demons within a few kilometers in front of him and objects 10 centimeters above the ground. Fang Yuan, who was tired of killing demons, spat in displeasure, and used the spit star enhanced by alchemy to kill a fish demon that had just emerged from the ground.
Chi - Puff - Using the blade carrying the purest Yang God magic power, he stabbed to death a ghost demon that teleported behind him. The Taoist priest shook the magic sword and wiped out the filthy power stained on it. He threw it away, shook his head and said with his spiritual thoughts: [Yes, we have killed eighty thousand demons along the way, if not one hundred thousand, right? But more and more demons are still appearing in front of us... Is there no family planning in this demon world? Isn't it so difficult that you are not afraid of Mokou having too many resources and running out of resources? ] "Hmph! That's why this demon world launches an invasion of other worlds. It seems that these demons need a purple sweet potato spirit to help them snap their fingers!" Fang Yuan said this, but there was no hint of joking on his face. , obviously, if possible, he even wants to snap his fingers himself.
[Well, but the premise is that we must have an artifact with infinite power equivalent to the infinite gems! ] The Taoist priest on the other side thought Fang Yuan was joking, so he followed suit.
"Sacred weapon... Huh!" Fang Yuan raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said to the Taoist priest: "Do you still remember what I said before setting off?" [You mean...] The Taoist priest then remembered that he went to find Fang before. When Yuan asked for help, the other party once said that he got something that could just solve the problem he encountered... Could it be that he really got a terrifying artifact like the infinite gems? ! 【Uh... Boss, tell me, what kind of magic weapon did you obtain that can defeat the entire demon world? ] The Taoist priest asked tentatively, his tone full of curiosity.
But at this time, Fang Yuan started to lie: "You will know this when the time comes, so keep it secret for now!" [...] The Taoist priest did not speak, but a string of ellipsis came from his mind—— It turns out that Divine Mind Sound Transmission can still be played like this! ... On the other side, underground in the main world, at the deepest root of the Devil's Tree, the American superpowers finally arrived here after experiencing several moderately intense battles.
"Sure enough, this disaster is indeed related to the secret realm. Those two mysterious people were able to find the entrance to the secret realm before us!" The captain said with a solemn expression.
"Captain, this passage... do we really want to go in? There must be demons inside, right?" The girl with glasses asked cautiously, looking very uneasy, even scared.
The previous battle on the surface had been fierce, almost pushing a group of them to the limit, but those demons were only a small part of the secret realm on the opposite side. God knows how many demons gathered on the other side of the passage. When I stepped through the passage and found myself falling into a pile of demons, there was really only one way to die! "..." The captain pondered for a long time, then turned around and looked around at his teammates. Although they looked a little tired, they basically had no injuries, and their combat effectiveness was still above the level.
Although I don’t know what’s going on on the other side of the passage, and it’s not impossible to plunge headlong into a pile of demons, I think that the two unknown and powerful superpowers have made it all the way here unscathed, and have even entered the secret realm on the opposite side. , perhaps a safe landing spot has been opened up for latecomers in advance? Thinking like this, the captain, who was unwilling to get nothing from this trip, gritted his teeth and finally made a decision: "Let's go in!" Second update completed') 535'\u003eChapter 534: The Source of the Demon Tree \u0026 Falling into Despair superpower team
Not to mention the self-destruction of the group of American superpowers, Fang Yuan, after walking through a variety of different terrains and killing nearly a million demons of different levels at the same time, almost walked while killing. They never stopped fighting, and finally came to a ruined city that was completely different from anywhere else.
Yes, the ruins of the city in the demon world! 【There is actually... a city? ! "Well, yes, a city in the demon world!" Although it is completely different from the human city in the main world, the buildings and layout are obviously man-made, which undoubtedly shows the fact that there is also civilization in the demon world. exist! Of course, this seems obvious. After all, it has been more or less mentioned in the Devil May Cry plots of the past generations. The demon world also has its own order and its own emperors, and there are even such things as Sparta. The powerful hero who betrayed the demon world is obviously an alien civilization that is completely different from the human world, but equally highly developed.
It's just that what Fang Yuan and the Taoist priests encountered before were basically fish demons that looked like beasts, with no hint of civilization at all, so they subconsciously ignored this.
Of course, from the ruins of the city in front of us, we can also see that the civilization in this demon world does not seem to be as stable as the human civilization on Earth - or can we think that this is a region similar to the war-torn areas on Earth, and the original city was forced to abandon due to some accident? Fang Yuan and the Taoist priest did not know what happened here, but they actually did not care much about it - no matter what happened in this city or the demon world, the most important thing now is to solve the problem of the demon tree first.
——It is the demon tree that stands in the center of the city ruins, towering into the sky, and even the top is almost invisible! "Finally arrived!" Fang Yuan looked at the gray-white tree in front of him, which was more magnificent and tall than all the demon trees he had seen before, and sensed the endless human blood flowing from all directions in the countless roots entangled underground. He breathed a sigh of relief, and it was finally over... ——Although the killing all the way here did not cause physical fatigue, the mental irritability and fatigue were real.
【Since we have found the core source, we just need to cut down this tree! 】 Seeing the goal of this trip right in front of him, the Taoist priest was eager to try.
"No, wait a minute!" However, Fang Yuan raised his hand to stop the Taoist priest at this time, with a serious expression on his face.
[What's wrong? ] The Taoist priest looked at Fang Yuan in confusion.
"Don't you feel it? There is a terrible power there - a power controlled by a conscious individual!" Fang Yuan pointed to the direction of the demon tree and said solemnly.
Upon hearing this, the Taoist priest immediately closed his eyes and sensed for a while, then opened his eyes and said solemnly with his mind: [... To be honest, I didn't feel it.",
