Demon Lord 3

Zhou Chuyuan's eyes turned blood red, and he seemed unable to hear or see what others were saying. He was only understanding through a special kind of subconscious awareness, not through his actual brain processing. His words were incoherent; although I could understand them and he understood the meaning, he lacked normal thought. It seemed like this was pre-programmed. For example, even though his soul was sealed, he could still communicate with me, using his pre-existing thought processes, as if he had been transferred to a computer. I hope this doesn't happen, because if it continues like this, his consciousness will be lacking, and his body and brain won't be synchronized. Often, this situation will cause the brain to gradually degenerate, eventually leading to a loss of synchronization and the collapse of the entire body. The monster opposite us seems to be the medicinal herb we're looking for. Defeating that monster, even if it's not our medicinal herb, can still point us in the right direction. Now, I won't... Knowing whether he could win or not, Zhou Chuyuan prepared for a one-on-one fight. I didn't want to interfere, since it would become a two-on-one fight if I intervened, which would be unfair even if it was a monster. Zhou Chuyuan wanted to put on a show in front of me and didn't want me to see his weakness, so he usually wouldn't ask for my help in these situations. During the fight, I noticed that the monster was entirely green. Before, there was no light on my side, but later, Zhou Chuyuan released demonic energy that mixed red and gold, creating a dazzling effect that made it difficult for me to see clearly. It was only slowly when I saw the direction of the exit that I realized we were already very deep underground. Going further to the side, it wasn't the so-called mountaintop, but the bottom of the mountain. This huge hole seemed to have dug through the entire mountain. The exit was now at the bottom of the mountain, and the people at the mountaintop wouldn't be able to find us. We would have vanished into thin air. But where did the bottom of the mountain connect to? Zhou Chuyuan retained some of his consciousness and conveyed a plan to me: I should sneak out and ignore him while he fought the monster inside. He told me to return and we could talk about what was happening. He was curious about what lay behind the light and warned me to be careful. I didn't want to go, not because I was afraid of danger, but because I worried he might do something dangerous if I went out. He assured me he wouldn't, that as long as I went out, I could record what happened and return, and he wouldn't let me be separated from him. The distance wasn't far. I took a few steps, looked at the light, and carefully touched the wall. There was an echo, so I was probably closer. I took a few more steps and saw the light hadn't weakened, meaning it was ahead. I climbed up the rocks and finally saw the light was coming from outside. The moment I peeked out, I realized I was connected to a city! My mind went blank. Where was I? It didn't seem like my home. I immediately turned back, making sure no one outside saw me. Perhaps this monster was someone's pet? If we climb up from here, even if we defeat the monster, we might still be discovered. Now it's not the monsters that I'm afraid of, but the people. I guessed that this monster was probably being raised by the other side to deal with us, but I didn't know what its purpose was. They kept this life-saving herb in their lair to protect their people so they could use the monster when necessary. They were calculating things carefully, but I didn't expect that we would fall down because we were attracted by the monster. But if we keep fighting now, the monster will definitely make strange noises to attract people outside. If there are too many people, it will be difficult for us. When I returned, I saw that the fighting was already very intense. It was not good to directly intervene or pass on information. After all, it was very convenient for Zhou Chuyuan to tell me information, but if I wanted to tell him information, I would need to make him stop and withdraw from the demonic body, which I could not do. I had also communicated with Mie Mie beforehand. Mie Mie said that she was confident that she could make the monster lose, but I shook my head. Although I could make the monster lose, it might not achieve our expectations. With the monster with us, we might not be able to get out. It seems that a net has been laid outside. If we return the way we came, we won't be able to fly back up with our current strength.
