In the valley, there was a very simple and unadorned palace door. It was illusory and indistinct, appearing and disappearing from time to time.
The palace door flashed with a simple gray light, and there was an aura of time flowing through it. It looked extremely extraordinary.
There were several dozen black-robed human cultivators standing in front of the illusory palace gate.
Every cultivator held a formation plate in their hands. Spiritual light constantly shot out from the formation plate and merged into the looming palace door.
Under the effect of these spiritual lights, one could clearly feel that the gray light on the palace door was slowly being ground away, and the palace door was gradually solidifying.
These cultivators should be the cultivators of the Hades that Lu Qingshan mentioned.
The Western Rat King thought to himself and stopped thinking about it. Following Lu Qingshan's instructions, it took out an Image Recording Pearl and silently recorded the scene in front of it.
After a while, the Western Rat King put away the Image Recording Pearl. Satisfied, it was about to leave this place.
It was also at this moment that some movement occurred in the valley, causing the Western Rat King's body to stop.
With its sharp senses, it actually felt a faint but unusual aura fluctuation from one of the black-robed cultivators.
The Western Rat King was not very sure if it was an illusion or an aura fluctuation that actually existed.
But in the next moment, the Western Rat King was clear.
It was because that black-robed cultivator coincidentally stopped what he was doing. It was unknown what he said to the demon beasts entrenched in the valley, but he actually left the valley just like that.
"There must be something wrong!" The Western Rat King sensed that something was wrong, but it was somewhat hesitant. "Should I go and see what's going on?"
After hesitating for a moment, the Western Rat King finally could not hold back the curiosity in its heart.
"As long as I'm careful, I shouldn't be discovered …" The Western Rat King comforted itself as it began to move.
It jumped down from the ancient tree it was hiding in and turned into a gray shadow, nervously hanging behind the black-robed cultivator.
However, what the West Rat King did not know was that after it tailed the black-robed cultivator, the black rat in the valley, who seemed to be resting with its eyes closed, suddenly opened its eyes and stared in the direction the West Rat King left in. Its nose twitched slightly.
"Is this the aura of a rat demon?"
The Black Rat's species was the Gold Devouring Rat. The Gold Devouring Rat could continuously evolve by devouring metal ores and absorbing the energy within the ores. It was considered an extremely rare rat demon bloodline.
As for the Goldbiter Rats, apart from having the ability to devour metal ores, they also had the ability to detect ore veins. They relied on their innate sense of smell and their ability to sense metal ores.
Just a moment ago, when the Western Rat King flashed past, it smelled the scent of a rat monster.
"This is a forbidden area. Our Demon Spirit Palace and that group of humans have already thoroughly investigated this place. How could an unfamiliar rat demon's aura suddenly appear?" The Black Rat King was somewhat puzzled, but it didn't directly inform the others of its discovery. Instead, it found an excuse and followed the faint aura in the air that was about to fade away.
The Western Rat King followed the black-robed cultivator for a very long distance, all the way to the back of the valley.
The Western Rat King suspiciously glanced at the empty rock wall in front of it. The rock wall was densely covered with scratches, as if it had been scratched by a tool.
Apart from that, everything was ordinary. There was nothing out of the ordinary.
"Where did he go?"
Because it was afraid of being discovered, the Western Rat King maintained an extremely long distance from the black-robed cultivator. It only relied on its outstanding senses to follow from behind.
However, the black-robed cultivator's aura had strangely disappeared.
"Huh?" The Western Rat King scratched its head. "Did I lose him?"
"Dong!"
At that moment, a muffled voice suddenly sounded.
Before the Western Rat King could react, it felt a huge force clamp down on it. Then, it turned into a gray shadow and quickly merged with a nearby rock, concealing its body.
In the next moment, ripples suddenly flickered on the ordinary-looking rock wall, and a purple circle of light slowly spread out.
The Western Rat King's eyes widened.
It had seen this scene before. It was very familiar!
This scene was exactly the same as when the Void Demon Child used its spatial teleportation ability!
Soon after, the black-robed cultivator and several dozen unfamiliar human cultivators appeared from the purple halo.
At the same time, a fierce murderous aura shot out from the purple halo, leaving a few marks on the stone wall.
The Western Rat King could even catch a glimpse of the scene inside the halo. It was a dark hall with several jade pillars inside. Many ancient demon characters were carved on the pillars.
"What's the situation?" The black-robed cultivator kept the purple pearl in his hand. Then, the purple halo on the rock wall disappeared.
"We have found the tomb of the Gengjin Tiger King. However, outside the tomb, there are several layers of restrictive spells. We still need some time before we can break them open." One of the cultivators in purple robes stepped forward and replied.
"Speed up. We can't delay the front for too long. At most, we can buy you another half a month to a month.
If we delay any longer, the beasts of the Demonic Spirit Palace will realize that something is wrong. "The black-robed cultivator said sternly.
"The killing intent emitted by the Gengjin Tiger King is too strong. Every once in a while, we have to leave the tomb. Otherwise, we will lose our consciousness. This will seriously slow down our exploration." The purple-robed cultivator explained.
As far as the eye could see, the eyes of the dozens of human cultivators who had come out were scarlet red!
.....
However, the Western Rat King was not in the mood to pay attention to the Hades cultivators. Instead, he turned his head around to see what was holding him captive.
With just a turn of his head, the Western Rat King was scared out of his wits.
It turned out to be the black rat demon that he had glimpsed in the valley earlier!
The rat demon made a shushing gesture to the Western Rat King.
The Western Rat King tactfully cooperated.
…
Time passed slowly. To the Western Rat King, every minute and every second was torture.
Finally, after half a day, the scarlet color in the eyes of the purple-robed cultivators dissipated. When they regained their clarity, the black-robed cultivator took out the purple spirit bead again and a purple halo appeared on the stone wall.
"There's not much time left. Hurry up and complete the mission!" The black-robed cultivator said in a gloomy tone.
"Understood!" The purple-robed cultivators replied softly. Then, one by one, they entered the hall.
When the last person entered the hall, the black-robed cultivator kept the pearl. His body turned into a ray of light and disappeared in front of the rock wall.
After a while.
Plop!
Two rat demons squeezed out from the rock wall.
The black rat's eyes were filled with inexplicable thoughts. He sized up the Western Rat King and asked suspiciously, "What kind of rat demon are you? And why do I feel like I've never seen you in the Demon Spirit Mountains before? "
The Western Rat King's heart was immediately relieved. He was good at reading people's expressions. He could tell that the black rat did not have any ill intentions towards him.
"I'm not too sure …" The Western Rat King's acting skills exploded. He said with trembling teeth, "I've never seen you in the Demon Spirit Mountains before …"
The black rat pondered for a moment. When he saw the Western Rat King trembling, he stretched out his paw and rubbed the red mane on the Western Rat King's head. He comforted, "Don't be afraid. My name is Shu Batian. I'm the strongest rat demon in the Demon Spirit Mountains.
We rat demons have always been weak. We're at the bottom of the monster beast food chain. Therefore, we need to support each other.
After I advanced to the Third Stage, I've been protecting the weak rat demons.
Although I don't know what kind of rat demon you are, you look very mystical. You're not an ordinary creature.
How about this, you can follow me in the future. Maybe you can cultivate another Third Stage monster for the rat demons. "
"Squeak squeak squeak." The Western Rat King weakly replied. He did not dare to object.
Shu Batian nodded with satisfaction.
"Where did those humans come from?" The Western Rat King, who had accepted his fate, immediately pointed at the place where the Hades cultivator disappeared and asked with an innocent expression.
Shu Batian's voice suddenly sank. He said, "You can be considered this king's lucky star. If I hadn't smelled your aura and chased after you, I wouldn't have discovered this shocking secret."
