Chapter 5197

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

The handwriting in the booklet was sloppy, and most of the contents were records 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.

“When do we set off?” Hu Mazi could no longer hold back.

“Three days later.” Kai put away the map, “We need to make some preparations.”

Youyue had no objection to this. She arranged accommodation for him and sent two demon monks to be on standby at any time, which was actually for surveillance.

After returning to his residence, Hu Mazi immediately locked himself in the room and repeatedly flipped through the booklets, trying to find any clues related to the Hu family.

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

The water in the Black Demon Palace is too deep, and the aura of those hidden strong men is definitely not that of ordinary people. Youyue dares to let them go to the Demon Burial Abyss, probably not only for the treasure, but perhaps also wants to kill someone with a borrowed knife, and let them test the real danger at the bottom of the abyss.

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

Three days later, in the early morning, Kai 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 motioned for his men to hand over the package, “The entrance is in the rift valley in the middle of Jiupan Mountain. I’ll have someone take you there.”

Kai took the package and opened it. Inside were several jade pendants engraved with exorcism patterns and a bottle of dark green elixir. It gave off a light herbal scent, but it was not as pungent as the cup of tea before.

He casually gave the jade pendant to Hu Mazi, but kept the pills. His Concentration Heart Technique could absorb demonic energy, so these pills might not be useful to him.

Following the leading demon monk 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 blackened, and huge animal bones could occasionally be seen on the ground, which had obviously been gnawed by powerful demons.

“The rift valley is ahead.”

The monk who led the way pointed to a bottomless ravine ahead. Gray-black miasma was swirling in the rift, and faint sounds like ghosts howling and wolves howling could be heard from within.

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 actually emitted a faint white light at this moment, resonating with a certain breath in the rift.

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

Kai looked at the jade pendant and saw that it was engraved with symbols similar to those on the animal skin map. He understood: “It seems that your ancestors have indeed been here. This jade pendant may be the key to unlocking the outer restrictions.”

He took out the map to confirm again, and pointed to a relatively narrow section on the left side of the rift valley: “Go down from here, according to 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: “Kai, I’ll go down and check it out first.”

“Let’s go together.”

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

The two of them leaped into the rift, and the miasma wrapped around them like sticky mud. The fishy smell penetrated 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 light of the jade pendant in Hu Mazi’s hand became 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.
