Chapter 121 Still at 10,000 Meters Above the Ground
"What is this?" Everyone's eyes turned to Ye Quan. They didn't know what the small stone was, but Ye Quan did.
"I found it out of boredom. You could find it too if you had the will," Ye Quan said calmly, looking at the stone. "Many people died in our area, but what kind of demon do you think could have killed them?"
"Monarch level is enough, right? Although they are all super-level mages, most of them are only super-level of one element, so they are still very weak against monarch level mages," the bald man said.
"Yes, monarch-level is enough, but they are all hunters, not fools. Hunters who can become super-class mages are all skilled. Even if they die, they will leave a few cuts on the demons."
"you mean……"
"Yes, this stone became like this because it was stained with the blood of a demon. Originally, it was just an ordinary stone, but you can sense the traces of that demon from it. He's been watching us." Ye Quan said, handing the stone to the bald man.
He closed his eyes and felt it for a while before passing it on to the others. It was passed around among more than a dozen people, and only after everyone had finished feeling it was Su Ming's turn.
The moment I took it, my senses seemed to be connected with some kind of creature.
Moreover, the distance was getting closer and closer, and through the stone he could sense that someone was chasing them, and it was terrifying.
"It is indeed chasing us. It seems we can't waste any more time. It's not fast, enough for us to deal with the Monarch Serpent outside. Otherwise, with the number of demons here, plus this terrifying creature, we'll have a hard time surviving."
"Agreed, the risk is worth it. By the way, Ye Quan, how long can this space exist? Can you sense it?"
Everyone else looked at Ye Quan; they were unfamiliar with the place, only Ye Quan might know.
But Ye Quan also disappointed them.
"I don't know. Let's leave as soon as possible. There are many demons here. I'm afraid Helan Mountain has become a demon's dwelling place. I'm afraid it will exist in the empire." Ye Quan's tone was very solemn.
"Impossible, the empire is..." Someone wanted to refute. An empire is only called an empire because it contains the most powerful demons. But the things that happened in such a large area as Helan Mountain were beyond their expectations.
Even if an empire were to emerge now, it wouldn't be surprising, given that it stretches for hundreds of kilometers and is far too large.
"Let's go, let's ambush it and see if we can take down that giant python in an instant." The bald man stood up. Now that he knew what to do next, there was no reason to hesitate. He just went for it.
"Wind mage, draw his attention. Baldy, you and Ye Quan attack together, the rest of you assist. We can't afford to waste time, try to finish this as quickly as possible," the sound mage commanded.
They were all very confident. After all, he was just a not-so-strong monarch, and there was no reason for the dozen or so super-level mages to be afraid.
They were all confident they could defeat the giant serpent king, but they were worried it would take too long.
Things are different now than before. Before, there was no pressure, but suddenly knowing that there was a monarch who had killed a group of super-level mages chasing them made them a little panicked.
Su Ming obediently followed behind them, standing with the sound-based mage. He wasn't at the higher level, so he couldn't join in the fun.
The sonic mage glanced at him but said nothing. He could more or less guess what Su Ming's situation was, and the only explanation was that Ye Quan had brought him over.
However, they don't care as long as they don't hold others back.
……
In the ancient capital, Jiuyou smelled a familiar scent, as if it had been left on someone else before.
After emerging from the Nine Netherworlds, the marks left on two people: Su Ming and Mu Qianjin, who had just entered the ancient tomb.
The mark around Su Ming disappeared a long time ago, trapped somewhere she couldn't sense. Mu Qianjin also couldn't sense it because she went to the ancient tomb. Now, suddenly, one has appeared.
It's definitely not Mu Qianjin, she just went in, so it must be Su Ming.
Jiuyou glanced at him, then got up and left.
She was going to check out Helan Mountain. If all went well, she could bring Su Ming back and then throw him into the ancient tomb, as the things inside were quite important to her.
After Jiuyou went to see several other deceased kings, they said that the things in the ancient tomb were treasures left by the king, and some of them were even hers.
Nine Netherworlds knew that the king had left something inside, but she didn't know that the king had also specifically left some for her.
Since we know that it will definitely need to be taken out, it might be a bit difficult for Mu Qianjin alone. It would be much better to throw Su Ming in as well.
After Jiuyou left, the door here was pushed open.
It was already partially concealed when Mu Bai walked in from outside.
"Queen of the Nine Netherworlds".
"Queen of the Nine Netherworlds".
Mu Bai called out twice, but no one came out.
"Strange, how come the Nine Netherworld Queen, who had been lying here for two years, suddenly disappeared?" Mu Bai was a little puzzled, but considering that she was a ruler of a thousand years, he didn't go through her things, lest he be wiped out.
After looking around for a while, Mu Bai prepared to leave, as there was no sign of Jiuyouhou.
As he turned around, someone suddenly appeared and startled him.
"Queen of the Nine Netherworlds, I was just looking for you." Mu Bai was lifted up before he could finish speaking. He wasn't worried about his safety. The Queen of the Nine Netherworlds was different from other undead; she didn't have such a strong desire to kill.
He spends his days either sunbathing or researching how to brew tea to make it taste better, just like an old man.
"You've come at the right time. Come with me to a place." Jiuyou Hou took Mu Bai and flew away, heading towards the outside of the ancient capital.
"Excuse me, where are we headed?" Mu Bai asked cautiously, a bad feeling creeping over the direction they were going.
"I originally intended to send Su Ming into that ancient tomb outside the capital, but he didn't come back. Mu Qianjin went in, but I felt we didn't have enough people, so you should go in and help out too." Jiuyouhou had already set off to leave.
But Mu Bai happened to be there and caught his attention. Following the principle that many hands make light work, Jiu You thought it would be good to just throw Mu Bai in, so he simply came back.
Anyway, going to Helan Mountain isn't a big deal, so there's no rush.
Upon hearing Jiuyou's words, Mu Bai knew he was doomed. Just as he had expected, he had only come here for a routine visit, only to be thrown into the ancient tomb. He had heard that several super-level mages had gone missing inside. It was a dangerous place, and he didn't know if he could come back alive.
"Did you create that ancient tomb?" Mu Bai asked.
"It's about half and half. That thing should have come out a long time ago; I just suppressed it until now."
Mu Bai suddenly realized, "So it seems that the Queen of the Nine Netherworlds is actually a good person after all?"
After all, the danger of the ancient tomb will appear later, even though it won't be of much use.
"Alright, I've brought you here. Go inside and take a look," Jiuyou said.
Mu Bai glanced around and realized he was still in the air...
