Liu Xinrong walked forward with trepidation, constantly looking left and right, fearing that the white bones on the ground would suddenly stand up and strangle her to death.
It wasn't that she had a vivid imagination or that she was timid; it was simply that Yu Jinshuo would never have brought her here for no reason.
Unlike Liu Xinrong, Liu Xinya didn't have as many thoughts. After walking for a while, she quickly adapted to her surroundings.
They're just some lifeless skeletons, what's so scary about them?
After getting used to it, Liu Xinya devoted herself to finding things that could enhance her demonic power, but she searched for a long time without finding anything, which made her a little impatient, and even her heart began to waver slightly.
Is what Liu Xinrong said true?
The idea had barely crossed her mind when she shook her head and rejected it.
If there wasn't that kind of thing, why would Liu Xinrong come here?
Besides, they are sisters; Liu Xinrong would never harm her.
Thinking of this, Liu Xinya continued walking forward, hoping that if she searched further, she might find it; perhaps the search area was still too small.
Just then, Liu Xinya rubbed her eyes. There were so many skeletons here, and looking at them for so long made her eyes a little uncomfortable.
Suddenly, Liu Xinya paused in her hand movements because she noticed something very strange.
The fog outside the valley is poisonous, meaning the people here were poisoned by the fog. Since they died from poisoning, it means the toxicity was sufficient to cause their deaths.
If that's the case, why are their bones still so white?
Shouldn't the bones of a poisoned person be black?
Even if it wasn't completely black, it couldn't possibly be as normal as a natural death.
If they didn't die from poisoning, then how did they die?
Upon thinking about this question, Liu Xinya suddenly stopped in her tracks, as if she had been frozen in place.
Liu Xinya stiffly turned her neck, trying hard to find the white bones she needed.
There were many skeletons here, and she quickly found the one she needed: a solitary skeleton lying face down on the ground, with nothing else around to confuse it.
Liu Xinya walked over quickly and observed carefully.
After reading it carefully, Liu Xinya was so frightened that she staggered back two steps, her body swaying and she almost fell.
"Xin, Xinrong..." Liu Xinya called out in a trembling voice, which startled Liu Xinrong, who was in the distance.
Liu Xinrong was already terrified, and Liu Xinya's shout made her break out in a cold sweat.
"Sister, what's wrong?" Liu Xinrong ran over quickly and asked reproachfully.
Why make such a creepy sound in such a terrifying place?
People can scare each other to death.
“Look at that person…” Liu Xinya didn’t have time to pay attention to Liu Xinrong’s complaints. Instead, she pointed with trembling fingers at the skeleton she had been observing for a long time.
"What's wrong?" Liu Xinrong asked, puzzled. This place is already scary enough, please don't make such a frightening expression, okay?
Despite her inner complaints, she still looked over, but after a while she didn't find anything unusual, and asked curiously, "Sister, what's wrong?"
"What do you see down there?" Liu Xinya asked in a trembling voice.
"There's nothing there," Liu Xinrong said strangely. "It's completely clean down there."
Beneath the skeletons were rocks and nothing else, not even a blade of grass.
"Do you think these people don't even have a jade pendant? Hair ornaments, weapons, anything?" Liu Xinya stopped beating around the bush and asked directly.
The skeletons in this valley were so clean that there wasn't even a fragment of clothing, let alone anything else that would identify them.
Upon hearing Liu Xinya's words, Liu Xinrong's face grew even paler, and she asked in a trembling voice, "Sister, what do you mean..."
Liu Xinya did not answer Liu Xinrong. Instead, she walked to a skeleton that looked like it had just been turned into a corpse, raised her leg and gently touched it. The seemingly solid skeleton turned into bone dust with a bang.
A few particles floated in the air, while most fell directly to the ground, forming a small pile of pale powder.
Liu Xinrong frowned: "How could it be so badly weathered?"
“There is an unknown power here.” After saying that, Liu Xinya grabbed Liu Xinrong and said, “Hurry up and leave. You must not have listened to Yu Jinshuo’s words. There are other things here.”
At this point, Liu Xinrong no longer cared about Yu Jinshuo's instructions. Anyway, she had already come obediently, so it wasn't considered disobeying him.
However, the Liu sisters' idea was good. The reason why the forbidden area was called the forbidden area was naturally because it had a terrible reason and a terror that made it impossible for people to set foot there.
Can we really let them come and go as they please?
Just as the two were running forward, they suddenly felt the ground beneath their feet tremble, as if the earth was shaking.
I could faintly hear a series of booming sounds.
While Liu Xinrong was still trying to figure out what it was, Liu Xinya exclaimed in surprise, "Flash flood!"
"Flash flood?" Liu Xinrong said in astonishment, "Impossible, there are no large lakes or rivers here at all."
How can there be flash floods if there isn't even a large water source?
"Hurry up!" At this point, Liu Xinya had no time to say anything to Liu Xinrong, and simply pulled her along as they rushed out of the valley.
Liu Xinrong instinctively turned around to look, and what she saw terrified her. She saw a colossal wave sweeping out from behind her.
It rushed into the valley in an instant, covering the white bones in its wake.
It was only then that she was shocked to discover that the towering waves were not real, but rather an illusion.
"Sister, look." Liu Xinrong subconsciously tugged at Liu Xinya, wondering if that was just an illusion and couldn't hurt them.
Even the skeletons submerged by the giant waves didn't seem to have suffered any harm.
"Idiot, run!" Liu Xinya turned around and her voice changed with fright. She grabbed Liu Xinrong and ran away for her life.
"W-what..." Liu Xinrong was confused. There was nothing wrong at all, so why were they trying to escape?
"Look at those grasses!" Liu Xinya shouted to Liu Xinrong as she walked.
Reminded by Liu Xinya, Liu Xinrong looked over and almost collapsed to the ground upon seeing what was there.
The grass rapidly dissolved in the illusory giant waves, disappearing into thin air, or more accurately, the grass merged into the illusory waves.
There was nothing else but stones and bones.
The once lush weeds have all been swallowed up.
Some of the bones, perhaps because they had been washed away by too many illusory giant waves, turned directly into bone dust and dissolved in the waves as well.
It was only at this moment that Liu Xinrong realized how dangerous the forbidden area was. How could mere poisonous fog possibly stop experts above the seventh level? It turned out that all those people died inside in this way.
"Hang in there, we're almost at the exit," Liu Xinya called out breathlessly, conveying her hope for survival.
Liu Xinrong stared at the exit not far away and ran with all her might. As long as they could get out, they would be alright.
Just as Liu Xinya and her companion were excitedly thinking they were about to escape, in the distant palace, the demon god, who had been resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them, a cold and fierce light flashing within them. He gritted his teeth and said, "Who dared to trespass into the forbidden area? Damn it!"
Do you want everyone in the royal city to be buried with you?
Chapter 90: Crisis in the Forbidden Zone
Without a second thought, the demon god quickly got up and flung open the door. The commotion was so loud that it startled Peng Zhen and Liu Lanyan in the next room. Sensing something unusual, the two hurriedly came out.
"Lord..." Peng Zhen had only uttered two words when he was interrupted by the Demon God before he could finish speaking.
"Go and inform the Demon Lord that something has happened in the forbidden area." After instructing Peng Zhen, the Demon God turned to Liu Lanyan and said in an unquestionable tone, "Stay here and don't go anywhere."
After saying that, he stepped into the air and disappeared into the palace as a blur.
The whole process was so fast that Liu Lanyan didn't even have time to say a word. Peng Zhen had already disappeared, presumably to inform the Demon Lord.
Forbidden Land of the Demon Realm?
Isn't that a place known throughout the entire demon realm?
how?
What went wrong?
Just as Liu Lanyan was feeling uneasy and pondering, a loud commotion suddenly came from the other side of the palace, as if many people were running around in a hurry.
With a leap, he jumped directly onto the high roof of the palace, from where he could look down at the source of the sound.
She saw large groups of guards constantly leaving the palace, but looking around, it didn't seem they were heading to war. The palace servants were also bustling in and out, and this tense atmosphere made Liu Lanyan frown.
He leaped down and stopped a palace maid: "What's going on?"
The palace maid, who was hurrying along, was startled. After looking closely at the person who had come, she hurriedly bowed and said, "Miss Liu."
"What happened to the palace? Where did those guards go?" Liu Lanyan didn't have time to pay attention to the palace maids' reactions; the situation seemed to be much more serious than she had imagined.
Otherwise, why would the demon god be in such a hurry to go there?
"His Majesty has ordered the demon army to guard the city gates and to notify the people to take refuge." After the palace maid finished speaking, she looked anxiously at Liu Lanyan, as if asking if she could leave now.
She had urgent business to attend to.
"Okay, I understand. You can go now." Liu Lanyan released the palace maid, looked up, and leaped up. With a few quick leaps, she landed silently on the top of the tallest tower in the palace, from where she could overlook most of the royal city.
At the same time, one can also see in the direction of the forbidden area.
Looking over there, I could no longer see any trace of the Demon God, so he must have already entered the forbidden area.
Aside from a brief period of initial activity, people quickly and orderly left the palace through the various gates.
Looking at the orderly guards, Liu Lanyan slightly curved the corners of her lips.
Something very unusual must have happened in the forbidden area far away, otherwise, why would the whole city be on alert?
They even want the people to evacuate and seek refuge...
Liu Lanyan narrowed her eyes slightly. What exactly happened?
