The eight demons gathered together did not start a fight, and in the end, they all retreated. The shadows that were lurking around their surroundings also gradually dimmed.

Right now, Shi Que was at the top of the pagoda as he watched the people from Fallen Demon Region leave.

"Still looking? He's gone." Lin Xiao pushed Shi Que, and the latter sighed and retracted his gaze. It was impossible for him and Xue Xin to be together; this was the fate of their family.

Wandering at night was impossible, so the two of them returned to the guest room and Shi Que buried his head in to rest. Lin Xiao chatted for a while on the box as Mu Qi sent him information on the eight demons, but it was not very detailed.

Sky Demon Region Yan San, Earth Demon Region Dragon Dantian Yuan, Xuan Demon Region Desolation, Yellow Demon Region Shan Ze, Spirit Demon Region Qianyu Shi, Nether Demon Region Hao Zhan, Jade Demon Region's Dantian Yang, Landing Demon Region Xue Wu Hen.

All eight of them had their own legendary stories, and they were all blessed by the heavens.

Hao Zhan had previously won a hundred and fifty-two battles in the Nether Demon Region Arena without a single loss. He was branded as a war god by others.

Qianyu Shi was already an intermediate apothecary at a young age and was just a step away from becoming a high ranked apothecary. As for Mu Qi, she had just stepped into the intermediate apothecary level.

Shi Que was concerned with Snowfall to the snow family's daughter, and her elder sister, Xue Wuhen, was one of the Eight Demons.

After reading through the information on the eight demons for a long time, Lin Xiao was speechless. These were all monsters. These eight people were all at least middle stage dark class. It was even said that two or three of them had already reached the late stage of dark class.

What kind of concept was this? Some of the smaller clans' Patriarchs had also surpassed the middle and late stage of the Xuan class. This meant that the eight demons could already establish their own sect.

However, what Lin Xiao wanted to know was the rules of the competition, and whether or not it was the same as in the meteorite battlefield, he would still rely on the points in his token to win.

Mu Qi was unable to answer Lin Xiao's question as the rules would not always be the same. No one knew what the rules were for this year.

The next day, under the Thousand Monster Temple, there was a sea of people, but the real contestants were only the eight hundred people on the square.

"Clang!"

The bell of the Thousand Monster Court rang again, and a middle-aged man descended from the palace above, floating in the air as he spoke.

"The trial opens, and each of you will be holding a scorecard. Your mission is to find as many treasures as possible, and then use the scorecard to record down the results, and determine the top ten with points, and then start a personal battle."

"You can't snatch the other competitors' points, but you can eliminate them. Every participant can only choose three of the heavenly materials they get in the Demon Burying Valley, and hand the rest over to the Thousand Monster Court. "

The rules of the competition made Lin Xiao breathe a sigh of relief. Since he couldn't obtain the points of the other participants, perhaps the competition wouldn't be too intense. Most of the time, it would be a treasure hunt.

After the middle-aged man explained the rules, he opened the entrance to Demon Burying Valley. It was actually in the plaza.

A flat map appeared at the feet of each of the eight hundred people. This was the overlook map of the Demon Burying Valley. The contestants could use this time to familiarize themselves with the map. Even after entering Demon Burying Valley later, it would still be random teleportation.

"Did you remember that?" Shi Que looked at Lin Xiao, who nodded.

"Then let's enter Demon Burying Valley."

The two of them closed their eyes and had a thought. His figure disappeared from where he stood.

More than half of the people in the square had already entered. The eight demons were still present, and no one dared to enter first.

When Lin Xiao and Shi Que stepped on the ground again, a wave of boundless Qi rushed towards them. Lin Xiao looked around. They were currently in the Wasteland, and there were no mountains or rivers around them. There was only a vast expanse of land.

"This is a bad idea. This place is quite remote. It's actually in the southern part of the Demon Burying Valley." Lin Xiao walked around for a few steps before sighing. Demon Burying Valley intersected the east and west. The southern region was the Great Wastelands, while the northern was the terrain of the mountain forests.

Lin Xiao and Shi Que were walking in the middle of the wasteland. While they were on their way, Lin Xiao asked about the origins of the Stone Imperial Tomb Demon Valley.

According to the information he found in the demon box, the Demon Burying Valley was one of the battlefields in the ancient era. With one strike from the Dragon Emperor, the ground sank and a trap appeared.

Shi Que's answer was about the same as Lin Xiao's information, there was not much difference.

"Are all secret realms formed during the ancient times?" Lin Xiao thought of this question.

In the Star Wars Battlefield, the Dark Yin Valley, and the Demon Burying Valley, all the secret realms he knew were formed during the ancient times.

The former explained, "There is a saying that only those that were formed during the ancient times are called secret realms. The Supreme Elder of Sky Demon Region, Qing Shui, attempted to create a secret realm's water boundary and ended up in failure, it was only a semi-finished product."

Lin Xiao understood the meaning behind Shi Que's words. In other words, after the ancient era, there would never be another intact secret realm.

After walking for a long time, a dense forest appeared in front of them. The tree branches were in strange shapes, looking like demons baring their fangs and brandishing their claws. Moreover, there was even a fog shrouding them.

At this time, the two of them had a disagreement. Shi Que felt that they could explore a bit, but Lin Xiao opposed it.

This brown fog was also called corpse fog, and it was a special product of the Corpse Accumulation Grounds. Many cultivators' corpses didn't rot for a long time, causing a large amount of gas to gather in their bodies.

The corpse fog was very corrosive and could even corrode spirit essence. Once it entered the body, it would consume a large amount of life force. Cultivators would avoid it when they saw it, but Shi Que chose to enter the corpse fog.

"There are good things in the jungle, it's worth a try." After Shi Que said this, he opened his palm. There was a small round ball in his palm.

Lin Xiao knew that this was a treasure scout pearl. As long as this treasure was used against heavenly materials, the color would turn red.

Shi Que pointed the pearl at the dense forest, and the pearl immediately became incomparably red, causing Lin Xiao to be speechless. It seemed that there was indeed a treasure within the forest.

In the end, Lin Xiao agreed to enter. The two of them used their spirit energy to form an energy shield and entered the airtight forest.

The corpse fog in the forest was even denser, and one could not even see his fingers in front of him. Luckily, Shi Que was behind him, otherwise the two of them would have been separated.

However, Lin Xiao quickly realized that something was amiss. Shi Que had been silent the entire time and followed him silently.

As Lin Xiao walked, he suddenly unsheathed the Divine King's Sword and slashed at Shi Que. The latter shrieked and ran off into the distance. As for Lin Xiao, he picked up a piece of meat from the ground. To be more accurate, it was rotten meat with green fur growing all over it.

"Corpses? Corpse transformation? Zombie? "

Lin Xiao did not put away the Divine King's sword. Instead, she held it in her hand, just in case.

This corpse fog had given them quite a bit of pressure. The moment they entered the dense forest, he and Shi Que had separated and he didn't even have time to react.

It was useless to say anything now. Finding Shi Que was the only thing that mattered.

Lin Xiao used the Netherworld Flame. However, the Netherworld Flame was unexpectedly unable to ignite within the corpse fog, only flickering with sparks.

There were footsteps on the ground, and besides Lin Xiao, there was also heat. Just who was it, was it Shi Que?

The sound of his footsteps was very rhythmic. Every time, he would wait for Lin Xiao to stop before he stopped, as if it were the echo of his footsteps.
