Chapter 257 Battle in Devil's Valley (I)

Devil Valley has always been a very mysterious place in Sanchuan Prefecture. This valley is also called the Buried Demon Valley because in ancient times, a once-powerful ancient demon king fell here.

The name of this ancient demon king, even when it is mentioned today, still carries some indescribable magic.

It is said that this ancient demon king was extremely famous in ancient times. His original body was a golden-winged roc. In the ancient prehistoric period, he roamed across the Tianzhou continent and had few rivals. He was praised as the Venerable Tianpeng. Later, this golden-winged roc practiced powerful magic skills somewhere and cultivated the supreme demon king's golden body, and even named himself Garuda King.

In the center of this Devil Valley, there was originally a huge mountain of ten thousand feet, named Vajra Iron Encirclement Mountain. This mountain is where the cave of the Venerable Tianpeng is located. This Tianpeng Venerable Garuda King feeds on prehistoric dragons. He eats at least 500 little dragons every day. Therefore, in the ancient prehistoric times, he offended the prehistoric ancestor dragon of the lower world because he ate a large number of dragon sons and grandsons.

A peng and a dragon fought desperately in the Vajra Iron Encirclement Mountain. Unexpectedly, the magic power of this Garuda King was even higher than that of the prehistoric ancestor dragon of the lower world. After several months of competition, the Garuda King finally won.

The demon king was about to swallow the prehistoric ancestor dragon, but unexpectedly, the sky and the earth suddenly changed color, and several rolling thunders suddenly descended on the Vajra Iron Encirclement Mountain. This thunder not only destroyed the cave of the Tianpeng Demon King, but also killed a soul-raising ancestor tree in his cave that was connected to the entrance of the netherworld.

The Garuda King, under the bombardment of this thunder, stood firm and even cursed the sky and the earth, with an attitude of being the only one in the world. This action completely angered the gods of the upper realm, so after the thunder, the upper realm sent down another sword of heavenly punishment. This sword of heavenly punishment cut off the Diamond Iron Mountain with one sword, and nailed the Tianpeng Venerable to death with another sword.

However, although the Tianpeng Venerable was nailed to death by the heavenly sword, his heart turned into a pure green glazed Garuda Heart, and fell into the Devil Valley with his original demon body and disappeared. Therefore, this valley has since been called the Garuda King Burial Demon Valley. Just because the soul-raising ancestral tree connected to the netherworld was destroyed by the thunder, the ghosts and demons that flocked to this place had nowhere to rely on, so they gathered in this valley for years, and finally formed the Demonic Ghost Mist Valley that was famous in the Great Zhou Xiuxian World.

It is said that the purest blood of the Tianpeng Demon King is sealed in this Garuda Heart. Whoever can find it and refine this blood will be able to cultivate the Tianpeng Demon Body, and from then on he can travel across the three realms.

The gods in the upper world seemed to know about this, so they did not take back the Heavenly Punishment Sword, but turned it into a ban and fixed it near the Devil Valley. Once the Heart of Garuda appeared in the world, it would definitely cause the Heavenly Punishment Sword to attack.

Of course, these are just some myths about this mountain that are circulated in the world of immortal cultivation. However, there are many real things in it, but whether it is really as magical and strange as described in the myths, I am afraid there is no way to check.

After all, in the great war between immortals and demons in the prehistoric period, all the cultivators with some magic power were involved. These people either died in that war, or they have successfully ascended to the upper world or passed away.

In that war between immortals and demons, even the Morality Palace, the Ten Thousand Beasts Gate and the Daozhen Temple, which are known as the three major saints in the world, fell and disappeared, which shows the tragic situation of the war. Later generations kept silent about this war between immortals and demons. As for those monks who survived the battle, they all disappeared mysteriously after leaving behind some of their teachings. Some people said that they had ascended to the upper realm, while others said that they chose a secret place to die.

Now, those who know about this matter are not all extinct, at least there is still one person. This person is the Greedy Wolf King who is hiding in Wu Yan's body and has just been resurrected.

However, when he mentioned the Devil Valley, he only told Wu Yan something that was slightly more real than the myth.

It turned out that this old guy made Wu Yan rush here not only to find his avatar, but his goal was actually the legendary Garuda Heart.

More than 50 miles southwest of Garuda City, by the Canglang River, there is a garrison camp of the Demon Mansion, where a reserve army of the Demon Mansion is stationed all year round. This regular army of the Demon Mansion is under the command of the Garuda City Duwei Army. It is considered the reserve force of the Duwei Army and is also a member of the non-staff army of the Demon Mansion. Most of them were similar to the group of black wind crossbowmen that Zhu Junhao brought with him when he went to the Qingniu Zhenren Cave last time.

At this moment, outside the so-called Duwei Reserve Army Camp, there were two teams of hundreds of people in different clothes standing quietly on both sides, waiting for a battle test that was about to begin.

The demon soldiers of the demon house led by Zhu Junhao were all wearing scarlet battle robes, while the demon soldiers of the demon house led by Bai Peng were all wearing black battle robes. The two sides were wearing distinct armor, staring at each other, and confronting each other outside the camp.

Zhu Junhao wore a red feather gold crown on his head, riding a tall and mighty black wind leopard war beast, with a strange snake monster with a body length of more than five feet coiled and floating on his shoulders, looking coldly at Bai Peng opposite. Behind him were four monks with different flying magic tools on their feet. They were also wearing scarlet battle robes, red feather silver crowns on their heads, and silver masks on their faces. Needless to say, these four people are also the experts who assist Zhu Junhao in this battle.

Behind them are three hundred demon soldiers standing silently. These demon soldiers are all infantry, so they have no mounts. The magic weapons in their hands are divided into three hundred-man teams of spearmen, crossbowmen and flag formation soldiers according to Zhu Junhao's deployment.

Bai Peng on the other side was also staring at Zhu Junhao with eagle eyes. He was wearing a white battle robe, a golden helmet with white feathers on his head, and riding a ferocious black-spotted white tiger monster with eye-catching eyes on his crotch. Its size was even taller than the Black Wind Leopard War Beast, and it exuded a demonic aura. , even more frightening.

Behind him were four combat masters, each wearing a silver helmet with white feathers and a silver mask on his face. These four people also had various flying instruments on their feet and were waiting calmly.

Behind them were three hundred demon soldiers from the Demon Mansion. Judging from the single type of magic weapon in his hand and the magic weapon bag on his back, they are actually the same flying spear magic weapon.

Zhu Junhao glanced behind him lightly, then gestured to the medium-sized combat expert behind him, and pointed behind Bai Peng.

The cooperative master nodded and then looked to the opposite side. This person is naturally Wu Yan, who is disguised as the "Poison Master".

Wu Yan glanced at the four combat masters behind Bai Peng. Although they all wore silver masks, judging from their body shapes and some of the morphological features they revealed, they did not seem to be as smart as Huyang.

Other things can be disguised, but a person's behavior style, personality habits, etc. are difficult to change. When they met at the dinner that day, Wu Yan was extremely impressed by Zhihu Yang who was dressed as Qian Yan. Among the four people opposite, there was no one with a long beard or an old appearance.

From this point of view, this Zhihu Yang turned into a demon soldier and hid himself. After all, the faces of those demon soldiers were covered with special masks, and the battle robes and armor they wore hid their entire bodies. It would be difficult to identify which ones might be dressed up by Zhihu Yang. Most likely.

As a result, Bai Peng's side is obviously stronger than Zhu Junhao's side in terms of overall strength.

"Everyone, the battle assessment is about to begin. Now distribute demon-transforming talismans and demon-transforming talismans." In front of the formations of both sides, there is a high platform, on which sits the deputy captain Ziluo Lan who is presiding over the assessment here.

This assessment should have been presided over by Captain Zhu Junjie, but unfortunately Zhu Junjie received the military order yesterday and led the ghost captain army to the Eastern Wasteland that night.

Now, Zi Luolan, who is nominally Senior Sister Bai Peng, is the host. Although he knows that Bai Peng is cheating, Zhu Junhao can't do anything about it. Even if this matter was brought up to him at this time, I am afraid that the deputy captain who had turned into an assassin a few days ago and assassinated Wu Yan would also favor Bai Peng and ignore the matter.

Zhu Junhao felt great hatred in his heart, and at the same time, his desire for victory and power also swelled like never before.

A sergeant held two trays with a storage bag placed on each tray. He walked off the high platform and went to both sides.

Zhu Junhao and Bai Peng seemed to be very familiar with the duel assessment process. When the sergeant came closer, they raised their hands and took the storage bag on the tray into their hands.

Wu Yan stepped on an ordinary flying sword weapon and looked at everything in front of him expressionlessly, but in his heart he was thinking about the news he had discovered during a secret meeting with Zhu Junhao a few days ago.

He touched a storage bag on his waist, which contained an authentic and top-quality demon-transforming pill. This demon-transforming pill was different from the ones he had come across before. The Demon Transformation Pill that he knew before was just a method used by the Demon Mansion to control and win over the non-staff Demon Mansion disciples. That kind of demon-transforming elixir is just the lowest level of elixir. It contains part of the power of demon essence, but most of it is poison. The demon-transforming elixir in his hand now is a kind of elixir specially given to the disciples of the golden elixir stage within the demon mansion, which can instantly convert mana into the power of demon essence.

After taking this elixir, combined with the use of the demon-transforming talisman refined by the secret method of the Demon Mansion, the monk can have several opportunities to transform into a demon.

Although the physical body of human monks is tough, it is still very different from that of monsters and demons. If a person can be instantly demonized during a battle, his strength and defense will undoubtedly be greatly improved after being demonized.

Moreover, the battlefield for this battle assessment is also very special, it is in the Devil's Valley. It is shrouded in a large amount of demonic energy and ghost mist. If you take the demon transforming pill and demon transforming pill, you can easily adapt to the environment inside.

After both sides received the Demon Transformation Talisman and the Demon Transformation Talisman respectively, Captain Ziluolan stood up, took a step forward, faced the people participating in the assessment on both sides, and shouted loudly: "Zhu Junhao, Bai Peng, you two are my demons." The outstanding monks of the Demon Palace have all completed the first level of the Demon Palace's assessment before. Our Demon Palace's selection of generals has always been based on the results of the battle assessment. However, in case any of you have an accident, our Demon Palace has specially prepared a teleportation jade. Talisman. If either of you feels that something is impossible and your life is in danger, you can crush this talisman and send it directly. This assessment will last for three months. If either party takes the initiative to admit defeat in advance. The battle is terminated and we are eliminated. Do you have any objections?"

Both sides shook their heads and expressed no objection. The corner of Violet's mouth showed a cruel smile towards the two of them, and suddenly announced loudly: "Both sides are entering the battle! Get ready to enter the Devil's Valley and start the battle!"
