The water in the stream was very clean, but it lacked some vitality. Shen Xiang suddenly felt that those night demons might be afraid of water, otherwise this river would not be safe.
At night, even if Shen Xiang was at the bottom of the river, he could still hear the cries of the night demons, but the sounds were not as harsh.
"This river is very narrow but very deep. It doesn't look like a normal river. Could it be that someone dug it on purpose? Large animals cannot grow in a river like this, so there is no need to worry about giant beasts or something like that." Long Xueyi said.
The person who could create such a safe route must be very familiar with the ancient domain of the sacred beast and must be very powerful himself. There is the mark of Dan Emperor on the map, and Dan Emperor is a legendary figure. His strength is much stronger than that of Fire Emperor and Ice Emperor. If he really created these safe routes, then it is very reasonable.
Shen Xiang followed the current and felt that the speed of the water was too slow, so he sped up and swam forward, because he was anxious to solve the mystery of the map. What did the Emperor of Dan hide there? Was there the lid of the divine tripod?
And where will the map put together by the Royal Dragon Clan, the Fire Temple, and the Demon Suppression Temple lead to in the end? And what is there?
This waterway is very long. According to the map, it is longer than the previous mountain crack, which means that Shen Xiang will spend a lot of time here. Fortunately, his speed in the water can remain the same as on land.
"I can still see the Demon-Slaying Peak!" Shen Xiang swam at the bottom of the river for a few days. He poked his head out and saw that the huge silver-white mountain had been staying in that direction, as if it would move with him, which puzzled him.
"I don't know what's going on, but the daytime here is only two hours, and the night is ten hours!" Long Xueyi said, "If there is no powerful force manipulating time, then there must be a powerful formation that is disrupting yin and yang, so that the night demons can have more time to move around."
"Are all of them Night Demons? No other beasts or anything like that?"
This is the Ancient Domain of Holy Beasts. Even if it is no longer the Ancient Domain of Holy Beasts of the past, there should be some beasts. When he entered the crack before, he encountered a very terrifying beast tide. Until now, he still can't figure out why that beast tide appeared.
Shen Xiang suspected that maybe someone was controlling a large group of giant beasts to prevent others from entering the depths of the Holy Beast Ancient Domain.
No one knows how many of the hundreds of thousands of people brought by those big forces are left. In any case, there will definitely be some who died tragically. After all, there are so many of them, and their strength is not very strong.
"No, even if there are any, they are not easy to find. The beasts here are probably also facing the threat of night demons, so they rarely appear. If there are any, they should be beast kings. Even if it is a beast king, if it faces a few night demon kings, it will probably not be spared."
Before, when they were in the Ten Thousand Beasts Palace, some old beast kings said that they escaped from there and they never wanted to go back. It seemed that they had suffered cruel torture in this Night Demon Hell.
In the blink of an eye, Shen Xiang had been advancing continuously under this long river for more than ten days. What surprised him was that such a small river actually had water all the time and was not blocked. It had been kept intact for tens of thousands of years, as if someone was specially protecting this river carefully.
Along the way, the three safe routes were all unobstructed. When Shen Xiang thought about it now, he felt it was a bit weird.
"Never mind, let's just make the best of it now!" Shen Xiang thought to himself.
At night, the Night Demons are rampant. Ever since Shen Xiang was entangled by the nosy Night Demon King last time, he will now try his best to avoid those Night Demons. Although he is under the river, he and Long Xueyi can use the art of astral projection to check the situation around the river. Although they have not seen the Night Demon King, they can always sense the breath of the Night Demon King nearby, so Shen Xiang rarely surfaces at night.
Shen Xiang advanced under this river for fifteen days. Judging from his observations of the terrain around him, he would soon be able to enter the fourth section of the safe route. There were six safe routes in total, and he was now halfway to the end of the map.
Every time after completing a safe route, before entering the entrance to the next safe route, it is always the most dangerous. For example, last time he almost alarmed the night demon's nest, and even had a conflict with a night demon lord. This time, he didn't know what he would encounter. In short, he had to be prepared to face danger at any time.
Soon, he saw a stone at the bottom of the river with a circular mark on it, which meant that he was going to leave the river. The third safe route ended here and he was going to turn to the fourth safe route from here.
Shen Xiang waited until daytime before going out, so that he would not encounter the Night Devil. He was sure that even a very powerful Night Devil would not dare to show up in the daytime.
Although there were no night demons during the day, it was not absolutely safe here. In order to avoid becoming a target, Shen Xiang turned into a very small flying insect and flew towards the entrance of the fourth safe route.
The fourth safe route was not very safe in Shen Xiang's opinion, because it was neither a crack nor a waterway, but a muddy road in a forest. However, the forest was very large, and one could bypass a large area of mountains and rivers from it.
To get to the forest, he had to cross a big river and two high mountains. Under normal circumstances, this would be nothing for him, but here it was extremely difficult.
"Let's hurry up. Although we don't know whether that forest is safe, it is a safe route after all. There shouldn't be any problems." Long Xueyi urged. She meant to let Shen Xiang change back into human form, which would be faster.
Here, there are only two hours of daylight, so Shen Xiang has to hurry up and take the safe route, otherwise he will encounter those night demons, which will be enough to give him a headache.
He changed back into human form, stepped on the ground with the shrinking steps, and shuttled through the mountains and forests at an extremely fast speed. Soon he saw the big river in front of him.
The surface of the river was very calm and the water was flowing slowly. It seemed there was no danger, but the clear water was eerily quiet.
Shen Xiang jumped high in the sky, shrinking his steps in the air, and soon he came to the middle of the river. He looked down and took a breath of cold air, because he saw two huge underwater shadows on the river surface. Judging from their size, they should be giant beasts in the water.
"Not only are they large in size, they are also very strong. I wonder how many years they have lived here. Let's get away from this river as soon as possible." Long Xueyi said.
Shen Xiang swallowed his saliva, increased his speed in the air, and tried his best to avoid making too much noise. He was worried that he would alarm the huge monster lurking in the river.
"It seems that there are still powerful beasts in this Night Demon Hell. It's just that being in the water can avoid being attacked by the Night Demons. Those Night Demons are really afraid of water and fire. Next time when dealing with them, try using water to see how much damage it can do to them."
Shen Xiang was still above the river at this time, but he could no longer see the two huge phantoms in the water. Just when he breathed a sigh of relief, a wave suddenly rose on the surface of the river!
