A Man Like None Other

Chapter 5197

There were also several twisted symbols drawn next to it, like some kind of warning.

The handwriting in the booklet was sloppy, mostly about the concentration of demonic energy and the distribution of demonic beasts. One page mentioned that “there are remnant souls of ancient demons at the bottom of the abyss, which are good at controlling people’s minds”, which made him frown slightly.noveldrama

“When do we set off?” Hu Mazi couldn’t hold back.

“Three days later.” David put away the map, “We need to prepare.”

Youyue had no objection to this, and arranged a place for them to stay, and sent two demon monks to be on standby at any time, which was actually surveillance.

Back at his residence, Hu Mazi immediately locked himself in the room, flipping through the booklets again and again, trying to find clues related to the Hu family.

David stood alone by the window, looking at the outline of Jiupan Mountain shrouded in demonic energy in the distance. His spiritual consciousness spread quietly, sorting out the current situation.

The water in the Black Demon Palace is too deep, and the hidden strongmen are definitely not ordinary people. Youyue dared to let them go to the Demon Abyss to bury the demons. I am afraid that it is not only for the treasure, but also to kill people with a borrowed knife, so that they can test the real danger at the bottom of the abyss.

But now that things have come to this, they have no way out. Hu Mazi needs the truth, and David himself has become somewhat interested in the so-called “chance”.

Three days later, in the early morning, David and Hu Mazi met Youyue at the gate of the Demon Palace.

Youyue was still dressed in purple, followed by ten demon monks with condensed auras, each carrying a black package.

“These are the resources and elixirs prepared for you. Although they are not top-notch, they are enough to deal with the erosion of the demonic energy at the bottom of the abyss.”

Youyue signaled his men to hand over the package. “The entrance is in the rift in the middle of Jiupan Mountain. I’ll have someone take you there.”

David took the package and opened it. Inside were several jade pendants engraved with exorcism patterns and a bottle of dark green elixirs, which exuded a faint herbal fragrance, but not as pungent as the cup of tea before.

He casually distributed the jade pendant to Hu Mazi, but put away the elixir. His Condensation Heart Technique could absorb demonic energy by itself, so these elixirs might not be useful.

Following the demon monks who led the way through the dense forest outside Jiupan Mountain, the deeper they went, the thicker the demonic energy in the air became. The trees became twisted and black, and huge animal bones could occasionally be seen on the ground, which were obviously gnawed by powerful monsters.

“The rift is ahead.”

The monk who led the way pointed to a bottomless gully ahead. Gray-black miasma rolled in the rift, and one could faintly hear ghost-like howling sounds coming from it.

Hu Mazi stood at the edge of the rift, and suddenly his whole body was shocked. He took out a broken jade pendant from his arms. The jade pendant was emitting a faint white light at this moment, resonating with a certain breath in the rift.

“This is… an ancestral jade pendant of my Hu family. It hadn’t responded before, but I didn’t expect it to move here!”

David looked at the jade pendant, and saw that it was engraved with symbols similar to those on the animal skin map. He understood in his heart: “It seems that your ancestor has indeed been here. This jade pendant may be the key to unlock the outer restrictions.”

He took out the map to confirm again, pointing to a relatively narrow area on the left side of the rift: “Go down from here, as shown on the map, there will be a stone staircase after passing through the miasma layer.”

Hu Mazi held the jade pendant tightly in his hand and took a deep breath: “David, I’ll go down and explore first.”

“Let’s go together.”

David pressed his shoulders, and the spiritual power in his body circulated, forming a light golden protective shield to cover the two of them. “This miasma is poisonous, so be careful.”

The two jumped into the rift, and the miasma wrapped around them like sticky mud, and the fishy smell penetrated into their ears and noses. If it weren’t for the spiritual power shield to isolate them, they would probably feel dizzy in an instant.

The jade pendant in Hu Mazi’s hand glowed brighter and brighter, and the miasma in front of him automatically separated to both sides, revealing a passage that was only wide enough for one person to pass through.
