213: Chapter 213 Surrounded by Little Silver Snakes

"No, no, it's all real. It's a Talisman Array," the Little Demon Fox Emperor replied.

The scattered rocks were real, but in this Talisman Array, if you take one wrong step... you'll step into thin air.

Once you step into thin air, you'll float upward for about ten meters.

Xiao Yao pondered for a moment and said, "I see. Once you step wrong, you have to start over. One wrong step takes ten steps to get back to the original spot."

"Something like that! The problem now is... we don't know how deep this Talisman Array extends. The best way is to break it open," Chu Han said after thinking for a bit.

Mu Cheng also voiced his opinion. "I feel like there's no need to break open such a large-scale Talisman Array. It's too much trouble."

"Big Sister, I agree. Large Talisman Arrays aren't that easy to break. Aren't we just looking for the true path among the false? That shouldn't be too hard, right?" The Little Demon Fox Emperor felt the same way.

Breaking open a large Talisman Array would indeed cost Mu Cheng a lot of time, whereas a small one could be passed through in a few moves.

So, there really was no need...

Chu Han: "Fine! You guys know more about Talisman Arrays than I do. Whatever you say goes."

This was true; as the Empress of a nation, the Little Demon Fox Emperor did know quite a bit.

As for Mu Cheng, it went without saying; his mastery of Talisman Arrays was no longer just proficient, but heaven-defyingly strong.

"Then the question is, who can find the real one?" Xiao Yao suddenly asked weakly.

This was no joke. One wrong step and you'd be sent right back to the start... so they had to be one hundred percent certain.

Chu Han: "We have to ask them which one can do it."

"I... can't do it," Mu Cheng said without hiding anything.

The Little Demon Fox Emperor covered her face, speechless. "Don't you inherit the three strongest techniques? You can't even see through this?"

"Sister Jiu... does that mean you aren't one hundred percent sure either?" Xiao Yao asked, dumbfounded.

Mu Cheng: "I inherited them, and setting up or breaking them open is fine, but asking me to pick it out... it's quite troublesome."

These were two completely different things. Setting them up was simple, and breaking open this large Talisman Array was possible.

But it would take a vast amount of time... if they really did that, it would probably be too late.

Chu Han almost laughed out loud. "So, what do you guys suggest we do now?"

"I've got nothing. Either we break the Talisman Array, but I can't be sure how long that will take," Mu Cheng said helplessly.

Little Demon Fox Emperor: "Then break it open!"

But just as Mu Cheng was about to release his Devouring Bloodline, Xiao Yao suddenly leaped onto a large rock.

"You guys, keep up!"

"This... did this girl suddenly become a different person?" Chu Han asked, deeply confused.

The Little Demon Fox Emperor followed without much explanation. "I'll explain later... just keep up for now!"

Mu Cheng didn't waste words and followed closely... Chu Han also looked helpless but eventually had to follow.

"It seems this girl isn't simple," Chu Han was also shocked.

This Talisman Array clearly had at least millions of variations, yet Xiao Yao didn't make a single mistake...

After about ten minutes, the four of them finally passed through the ever-changing Talisman Array and successfully reached the so-called Demon Abyss.

"How are we supposed to get down?" Mu Cheng looked at the scene before him, a bit dumbfounded.

Further ahead, there were no more rocks, only a bottomless abyss.

Chu Han leaped straight down. "What else can we do? We go down from the side, of course."

"Mm-hmm, Master, hurry and keep up!" Xiao Yao also leaped down.

The Little Demon Fox Emperor took out a black gold dagger. "What to do... I shouldn't need to say it, right?"

Then she also leaped down...

"What a bunch of lunatics. Why can't the qianji set be used? Fine, fine... looks like I have to use the stupid way." Mu Cheng understood, of course.

He quickly took out a black gold short spear and leaped down as well...

However, things were far from that simple. Everything was fine at first, but not long after they started descending,

An invisible force began pulling them toward the center...

"Looks like we have to take it slow." Chu Han, who was in the lead, slammed a dagger into the rock wall to avoid being sucked in.

Xiao Yao was even more direct and crude, using her Black Vine.

"I'm quite curious... how do the people inside here get out?" Mu Cheng suddenly asked.

Little Demon Fox Emperor: "Are you talking about the Demon Race? They have a Teleportation Talisman Array."

"Oh, pretend I didn't ask." Mu Cheng was instantly embarrassed.

Chu Han studied the center and said, "Let's think of a way! I heard the Demon Abyss has eighteen levels in total, and this is only the first."

"I have a way. Sister, take this qianji." Mu Cheng threw out a piece of black gold iron.

Chu Han caught it and looked confused. "This thing... is quite interesting."

"The question is, how do we get down?" the Little Demon Fox Emperor asked.

Mu Cheng: "Xiao Yao, I'll leave it to you."

"Understood, leave it to Xiao Yao!" Xiao Yao instantly got the message.

The next moment, Black Vines began growing frantically from top to bottom... Xiao Yao used the qianji's ability to change shape at will.

She turned it into a super-heavy chain hammer, and instantly her whole body flattened against the rock wall as she slid down.

"Whatever works! As long as we can get down." That wasn't actually what Mu Cheng had in mind.

But he didn't dwell on it and quickly followed Xiao Yao's method, sliding down the Black Vine.

"This qianji is truly miraculous, but it still has a weakness... it's too light. You can try using Bloodline Power to change its weight later." Chu Han finally understood and gave a suggestion.

Mu Cheng: "This is too light? Are you sure you're not joking?"

"Of course, it feels like a toy, okay?" The Little Demon Fox Emperor nodded in agreement.

Chu Han: "Being heavy has its benefits. Suppressing enemies with physical strength is not to be underestimated."

"True. If a million-ton heavy sword smashed down, probably even a god would find it hard to catch." Mu Cheng also thought it made sense.

This wasn't actually hard; he just needed to add a new Talisman Array to change the qianji's weight using Bloodline Power.

The descent wasn't very slow, but it wasn't very fast either. It took about ten minutes.

They finally reached level ground.

"This place... is really the Demon Abyss? Why does it feel a bit like the outside?" Mu Cheng looked around, very confused.

There was flat ground, scattered rocks, and even sunlight. You're telling me this is an abyss?

"This is a secret realm world, and it counts as the first level of the abyss. Let's hurry! There are eighteen levels waiting for us." Chu Han didn't hesitate.

She vanished in an instant, heading toward the center...

"It seems this won't be as simple as I imagined." Mu Cheng couldn't worry about much else and followed closely.

Xiao Yao and the Little Demon Fox Emperor also followed right behind...

"Something's not right about this level. Everyone be careful." Chu Han looked at the entrance ahead and suddenly stopped.

Just then, a hidden hint appeared before Mu Cheng's eyes.

[Warning! Warning! Warning! Large number of Devil Spiderss detected ahead. Quantity unknown, level unknown.]

"Not good, it's the aura of Devil Spiderss." Xiao Yao was the first to sense the aura and became very cautious.

Chu Han instantly breathed a sigh of relief. "Just Devil Spiderss. Don't be nervous, leave them to me."

"Mm-hmm, leave it to Big Sister!" The Little Demon Fox Emperor nodded and replied.

As for Mu Cheng, he didn't think much of it. "Can I ask... are Devil Spiderss that scary?"

"Master, Devil Spiderss aren't scary themselves. What's scary is that their numbers are incredibly high, and they are very fast," Xiao Yao replied.

Mu Cheng still didn't get it. "But... Sister Jiu has the Evil Spirit Realm Domain, and then there's you, Xiao Yao... what's there to fear?"

"No, you underestimate Devil Spiderss. For example, these things are similar to Devouring Tentacles." The Little Demon Fox Emperor directly dismissed his thought.

"Fine! Then I'll leave it to Big Sister." Mu Cheng was clearly a bit scared now.

Chu Han: "Don't worry! Just Devil Spiderss. In my eyes, they're nothing."

Sure enough, after a moment, the four of them were surrounded. These Devil Spiderss weren't very large, only about the size of a thumb.

However, the quantity was terrifyingly high. Within a one-kilometer radius centered on the four of them, everything was covered in Devil Spiderss.

Seeing this scene, Mu Cheng swallowed hard, clearly feeling a bit cowardly.

Xiao Yao was also a bit afraid, but the Little Demon Fox Emperor was very calm and didn't back down at all.

As the Devil Spiderss closed in, Chu Han finally made her move. In an instant, the surroundings turned into an endless darkness.

It was so dark you couldn't see your own hand...

"Hey! What's going on?" Mu Cheng was clearly panicked; he felt very uneasy in this place.

But fortunately, in less than a minute, they were back in the original pile of rocks, except all the Devil Spiderss were gone.

"That's the Demon God Domain. As expected of a member of the Chu family," Xiao Yao said in shock.

Mu Cheng suddenly thought of Chu Yaoyao and asked, "Um... why does the aura on your body feel a bit like someone I know?"

"You mean Yaoyao, right? I'm her aunt." Chu Han didn't deny it.

The Little Demon Fox Emperor had no interest in hearing this. "Alright... it's all settled, let's head to the next level!"

"Mm-hmm, Master, don't worry about that. The Chu family's Double-Faced Demon God bloodline is passed to females, not males," Xiao Yao nodded and answered.

This made Mu Cheng, who had wanted to ask about Old Man Chu, shut his mouth and follow obediently.

Soon, the four of them reached the entrance to the second level.

"Do we have to jump down again?" Mu Cheng asked, clearly a bit scared.

The Little Demon Fox Emperor, with her hot temper, just kicked him down. "Of course! What else would we do?"

"Let's go down too!" Immediately after, she followed right behind...

Chu Han and Xiao Yao also leaped down. They thought it would be bottomless... but that wasn't the case.

This level wasn't very deep, but there were dense iron chains hanging everywhere, and an ancient tower could be clearly seen below.

A gloomy aura... it looked quite frightening.

"This ancient tower is so eerie." Mu Cheng grabbed a chain and looked at the scene, lost in thought.

"How strange, why didn't a hidden hint appear? Does it only show up if it's targeted specifically at me?"

"It is strange. Let's go down first!" The Little Demon Fox Emperor grabbed an iron bar and slid down.

Since it wasn't very high, the four of them soon landed in front of the ancient tower.

"Everyone be careful. I feel like there's something strange about this ancient tower." The Little Demon Fox Emperor led the way.

Chu Han, Xiao Yao, and Mu Cheng followed cautiously behind...

But just as they approached the ancient tower, the door suddenly opened...

"Maybe we should just go back!" This gave Mu Cheng a big fright.

Chu Han: "No one would think you're a mute if you didn't speak! Besides, can you even go back now?"

"I just wanted to liven up the atmosphere." Mu Cheng was instantly embarrassed.

"Stop wasting breath and keep up!" The Little Demon Fox Emperor was already walking in the lead, strolling into the ancient tower just like that.

Chu Han was startled and hurriedly kept up...

When Xiao Yao and Mu Cheng stepped into the ancient tower, they realized this place was a world of its own; the tower was hollow inside.

Looking further down, it was bottomless...

"I knew it, this level wouldn't be so easy to reach the bottom. It seems this is the real second level. I bet if we pass through this, we'll reach the third level," the Little Demon Fox Emperor said, looking ahead.

Chu Han leaped straight down. "Then what are we waiting for? I want to see what kind of monsters are down there."

The three followed. There were still many iron chains, and the space was only about fifty meters wide, with the bottom being deep and endless.

"Be careful!" Chu Han slowly slid down along a chain.

After a while, Xiao Yao suddenly shouted, "It's Small Silver Snakes... looks like it'll be hard for the three of us."

"Small Silver Snakes? What the heck are those? Can you explain?" Mu Cheng asked, very confused.

Chu Han: "Hurry down! Remember, you must deal with the Great Silver Snake as quickly as possible, or we'll all be finished here."

Just as she finished speaking, countless so-called Small Silver Snakes crawled onto the chains... surrounding the three of them.

"Master, don't just stand there, hurry down!" Xiao Yao shouted urgently.

Mu Cheng didn't ask more and slid down rapidly... leaving the three behind.

"Xiao Yao, you go first!" The Little Demon Fox Emperor soon reached Xiao Yao's side.

Chu Han instantly understood and hurried over as well.

Xiao Yao didn't hesitate and instantly released a dense mass of Black Vines... surrounding the three of them.

"I hope that guy is fast!" Chu Han watched as the Black Vines were eaten away bit by bit, feeling helpless.

Although these Small Silver Snakes weren't as strong as Devouring Tentacles, because they were in the Demon Abyss, they were almost immortal.

And there were so many of them. Mu Cheng was only ignored because of his special bloodline.

On the other side.

"This is so deep... looks like I need to speed up." Mu Cheng finally realized.

Finally, after about ten minutes, he reached the bottom. The ground was covered in skeletons.

Pile after pile of them...

Mu Cheng didn't care about much and moved quickly through the piles of skeletons.

Suddenly, a hidden hint appeared before him.

[Warning! Warning! Warning! Great Silver Snake *1 detected. Level: Nine-Star World King God.]

The next moment, the skeletons Mu Cheng was standing on began to shake violently.

A massive head slowly rose up. Its eyes alone were as big as a football field.

He didn't know how long it was, but just the head standing up reached a staggering three to four hundred meters.

"How am I supposed to fight this?" Mu Cheng looked at the creature, dumbfounded.

Such a big fellow would be hard to kill even if it stood still, let alone while it was alive.

On the other side.

"Xiao Yao, it's my turn." The Little Demon Fox Emperor directly released her Evil Spirit Realm Domain.

Only then could she see that the outside was completely blocked off from top to bottom.

"As expected of Small Silver Snakes, this quantity is truly terrifying." Chu Han was shocked by the sight.

Xiao Yao said speechlessly, "I say, Sister... what time is it, and you're still worried about the numbers outside?"
