<h4>Chapter 692 - Demon Vige</h4>
"I did," Leon nodded before he pondered for a moment and said, "Let''s just say that I memorized everything but did not get time to review them. Thus, I am not certain if what I need is among them."
The One-Eyed Venerable Shaman opened his mouth, but he did not know how to respond to that.
How was it possible to memorize everything in such a short time? But say that it was the case, how can someone not know what they memorized if it was memorized?
It did not make any sense!
After waiting a moment without a response, Leon changed the topic, "Never mind. There''s something I would like to ask, senior."
"Ask away, Young Master Leonhardt," the One-Eyed Venerable Shaman said wryly, evidently not over thest topic.
Nevertheless, Leon was unconcerned with the One-Eyed Venerable Shaman''s doubts.
"How do we enter the secret realm exactly? What does the secret realm''s opening look like? Is it a type of spatial portal?" Leon inquired.
"To be honest, I have no idea myself as I have never participated in the secret realm before, Young Master Leonhardt," the One-Eyed Venerable Shaman spoke.
"But I have heard it was a type of spatial portal that opens in the ground like a bottomless abyss. But once entered, we would drop out of the sky."
"I see…" Leon uttered with a frown as the information provided did not tell him much.
"If Young Master Leonhardt wants to learn more about the specifics, you can try asking the B
attle God Pce. They have ess to more reliable sources of history and special events," the One-Eyed Venerable Shaman suggested.
At that moment, the Battle God Pce group was at the hem of the Battle Masters.
As such, Leon shook his head and said wryly, "It seems I will have to find another time to inquire about it."
"I suppose so, Young Master Leonhardt."
Sometimeter, the garrisons quickly opened the ck gates for the Battle Masters to enter the other half of the gorge leading to the demon''s territory.
Leon studied the ck wall briefly, but he quickly discovered the ck color was not part of the material but dried bloodstains.
Whether it was the ground or on the sidewalls of the gorge outside the ck wall, everything was also stained with dried ck blood.
The amount adds up to a staggering volume.
Only the Crimsonfog Tribe was most clear on how much they had to sacrifice to hold the Death Passage and keep the demons at bay in the demon''s territory.
Silently, the Crimsonfog Tribe earned some of his respect.
Sometimeter, therge group reached the end of the Death Passage before the other side of the Darkness Mountain was revealed.
Without any surprises, it was primarily dark and lightless as one would expect of the ce with the highest concentration of Darkness Profound Energy.
However, the warriors of the Infertile ins were trained to see in the dark. As such, they were able to see much of the vast barrennd ahead of them, devoid of life.
The soil was hard and cracked like severe drought while most vegetation had long withered into dust, turning much of what could have been a lush green in into a barren wastnd with terrible dust storms.
The environment destroyed all hopes for the growth of ordinary nts, but it was the perfect breeding ground for darkness-attribute nts.
In the distance, a few patches of umbre flowers grew with a soft yet eerie purple glow, slightly illuminating a small area around them, revealing a few shadowy movements nearby.
"Kree?" a horned demon quickly detected the group with a surprised look.
Once the Battle Masters were discovered, Young Zion immediately cautioned, "Uncle Jizo!"
"Yes, Young Master!" Jizo answered.
Within a split second, the Extremity-rank Battle Master shed into the distance and killed the curious horned demon with a clean decapitating strike before it could put up a shred of resistance.
Shortly after Jizo returned, a Battle Master questioned with a frown, "Why did you kill it? We could have interrogated it and extract some vital information."
"You can speak the demonnguage?" Jizo responded coolly before stating, "We are inside demon territory now. Unless we want to be quickly swarmed by demons, it will be in our best interest to kill them on-sight."
"The Battle God Pce is right," Chief Valencia agreed with a nod and said, "Letting the demons summon their fellow brethren is thest thing we want to happen."
"Not only will it put us under unnecessary danger, but it will also dy us from reaching the location of the secret realm opening."
Once these words were spoken, the voices of disagreements quickly died down before therge group continued to trek forward in the direction of the enormous swirling dark clouds.
The deeper they ventured into the demon''s territory, demon stragglers appeared more frequently, but they were all killed quickly without exception.
Leon took the chance to collect the rare and exotic ins that were able to grow in the demon''s territory forter study.
At the same time, the wind grew stronger and stronger.
With the billowing clouds of dust getting caught in people''s eyes, many Battle Masters found it difficult to keep their eyes open and were forced to cover them.
Aria and Darlene were among the first to fall victim before utilizing their abilities to ward off the dust from themselves.
Sometimeter, the group suddenly paused their advance and scrutinized the distance ahead with narrowed gazes.
"Is that…?"
"A demon vige, yes."
After encountering the first demon vige, the group''s vignce immediately shot through the roof before a Battle Master suggested, "We should make a detour around it."
"We don''t know how many demons are inside, nor their strengths. It''s best to avoid this sort of confrontation if possible."
"Agreed."
As many Battle Masters voiced their agreement, another raised his eyebrow and asked, "I thought we were meant to kill all demons on sight?"
"This is an exception. We don''t have time to waste," Jizo stated.
However, the Battle Master had another opinion and mentioned, "If we can''t even ovee a small hurdle like this demon vige here, what chances do we hope to have inside the secret realm?"
Once the question was raised, the group immediately paused in thought.
