Chapter 184: The Abyss of Devil is approaching, the first dangerous journey

Under the thick darkness, Lei Yi and Dongfang Liuli's figures moved like ghosts through the gloomy woods. The closer they got to the Demonic Abyss, the more intense the heart-pounding pressure grew, as if an invisible giant hand had gripped their throats, making even breathing difficult.

"Be careful, Liuli. The demonic energy here is very strong. I'm afraid there are monsters around." Lei Yi reminded in a low voice, his palm holding Dongfang Liuli's was slightly sweaty.

Dongfang Liuli nodded gently, a vigilant glint flickering in her beautiful eyes. She drew a soft sword from her waist, the blade emitting a cold and shimmering light, dispelling some of the surrounding darkness.

The two of them walked forward cautiously, and before they knew it, the view in front of them suddenly opened up.

Before them lay a vast abyss, as if the earth had been ripped apart by an invisible force, revealing a hideous wound. A thick black fog filled the abyss, swirling and surging like a ferocious beast seeking its prey. A sickening stench of decay, tinged with a hint of blood, filled the air with a chilling sensation.

"This is the Demonic Abyss..." Lei Yi muttered to himself, his eyes fixed on the bottomless abyss, an inexplicable uneasiness rising in his heart.

At this moment, a sharp and piercing roar suddenly came from the abyss, making people's scalps numb.

"Someone!" Dongfang Liuli exclaimed, looking around sharply.

Almost at the same time, several dark shadows rose from the abyss and appeared before them like ghosts. These shadows were wearing black armor, holding various magical weapons, and exuding a cold murderous aura. They were a group of demon monks!

"Who dares to trespass into the forbidden area of ​​the Demon Abyss!" The leading demon general shouted sternly, his voice like the cry of a night owl, creepy enough to make people's hair stand on end.

This demon general was tall, draped in a blood-red cape, and his face was covered in a ferocious mask, revealing only a pair of blood-red eyes that flashed with bloodthirstiness. Around his waist hung a token engraved with the word "Shadow," clearly indicating his status as a distinguished individual.

"Shadow Demon General!" Lei Yi's heart sank as he recognized the identity of the person.

The Shadow Demon General, a capable general under the command of the Blood Demon Ancestor, is ruthless, powerful, and has a great notoriety in the demon world.

Lei Yi calmly protected Dongfang Liuli behind him, staring at the Shadow Demon General with vigilance, and asked in a deep voice, "We are just passing by here, and have no intention of offending you."

The Shadow Demon smiled coldly, his blood-red gaze swept over Lei Yi and Dongfang Liuli, and finally fell on Dongfang Liuli's beautiful face, with a hint of greed in his eyes.

"Just passing by?" The Shadow Demon General said in a stern tone, "The Demonic Abyss is my forbidden land of the Demonic Path. How can you ants just set foot there casually?"

Before he finished speaking, the Shadow Demon General suddenly took a step forward, and a terrifying pressure instantly enveloped Lei Yi and Dongfang Liuli, as if Mount Tai was pressing down on them, making them unable to move!

"You guys..." Lei Yi's expression changed drastically, and a strong sense of crisis rose in his heart...

"Attack!" The Shadow Demon General gave the order without giving Lei Yi any chance to explain.

Before he finished speaking, the black sword in his hand turned into a black lightning and struck Lei Yi in the face. The sharp wind from the sword even tore the surrounding air apart!

"Be careful!" Dongfang Liuli exclaimed and wanted to help, but was suppressed by the pressure released by the Shadow Demon General and could not move at all.

At the critical moment, Lei Yi instinctively dodged to the side, barely avoiding the fatal blow. However, the Shadow Demon General's attack was only the beginning. Other demon cultivators also attacked, and various magic weapons with fierce murderous intent attacked from all directions!

Lei Yi cursed inwardly and could only passively defend himself. He swung his sword, deflecting the attacks one after another, but two fists were no match for four, and the strength of these demonic cultivators was not to be underestimated. He soon developed several wounds, his clothes stained red with blood.

"Lei Yi, how are you?" Dongfang Liuli shouted anxiously, her beautiful eyes full of worry.

"I'm fine!" Lei Yi insisted with gritted teeth, but a hint of fatigue could not be concealed in his tone.

The Shadow Demon General had been watching coldly. Seeing Lei Yi gradually losing the upper hand, a cruel sneer appeared on his lips. He swung the black long sword in his hand violently, and a huge black blade light pierced the air and flew straight towards Lei Yi!

"Not good!" Lei Yi was horrified. The power of this knife was too terrifying and he couldn't resist it at all!

"Lei Yi!" Dongfang Liuli let out a desperate cry.

At this critical moment, Lei Yi suddenly felt a powerful force surge from his body, instantly enveloping him. This force was warm and familiar; it was Dongfang Liuli's spiritual power!

"Liuli, you..." Lei Yi's heart was shocked. Before he could say anything, he was pushed out by this force and narrowly avoided the black blade light.

"Puff!" Dongfang Liuli groaned, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. It was obvious that he had forced his spiritual power and suffered backlash.

"Liuli!" Lei Yi's eyes were bloodshot. He flew over to Dongfang Liuli, hugged her tightly in his arms, and asked in a trembling voice, "How are you? Are you okay?"

"I'm fine..." Dongfang Liuli shook her head weakly, her eyes falling on Lei Yi, her eyes full of worry, "Go away quickly, don't worry about me..."

"Want to leave? Too late!" The shadow demon sneered and attacked again with his sword.

"Damn it!" A fierce look flashed across Lei Yi's eyes. He knew that today would not end peacefully... He took a deep breath, and his eyes swept around, his gaze gradually becoming firm... A bold idea emerged in his mind...

Lei Yi gritted his teeth. Dongfang Liuli's injuries made him extremely anxious, but he also knew that fighting hard at this moment would only put them in a desperate situation. He took a deep look at the bottomless dark forest before him, and a trace of determination flashed in his eyes.

"Hold on to me!" Lei Yi growled, and before Dongfang Liuli could react, he picked her up horizontally, pointed his toes, turned into a shadow, and rushed into the dark forest.

"Chase! Don't let them run away!" The Shadow Demon General roared and led the demon monks in hot pursuit.

In the dark forest, towering trees blocked out the sun, a chilling wind blew, and the air was filled with a lingering smell of decay. Lei Yi, holding Dongfang Liuli, swiftly shuttled through the dense woods, the shouts and cries of killing drawing closer behind them.

"Lei Yi, this is not a solution. They will catch up with us sooner or later..." Dongfang Liuli said weakly while enduring the pain.

"I know!" Lei Yi responded in a deep voice. His eyes kept scanning the surroundings, his mind quickly thinking of countermeasures, "This forest is so strange, there must be something special about it... Maybe we can take advantage of it..."

Suddenly, Lei Yi's eyes lit up, and he saw a thick fog appearing in front of him. This fog was not ordinary, but had a strange black color, as if it could swallow everything.

"This is it!" Lei Yi's heart moved, and he held Dongfang Liuli and sped up, rushing into the thick fog.

"Oh no! They've entered the foggy area!" The Shadow Demon General chased to the edge of the fog, his expression suddenly changed. He reached out to stop the demon monk behind him and said in a deep voice, "This black fog is very strange. We can't enter rashly."

"What should we do? Are we just going to let them escape like this?" a demonic cultivator asked unwillingly.

"Hmph! They can't escape!" The Shadow Demon General snorted coldly, a sinister look flashing in his eyes. "Pass the order down, seal off the entire Dark Forest, and don't let even a fly escape!"

Lei Yi and Dongfang Liuli had vanished from view in the dense fog. Lei Yi, relying on his extraordinary perception, navigated the mist, sensing that it seemed to block divine sense detection and contained a strange energy fluctuation that caused the magic crystal within his body to stir subtly.

"Liuli, can you hold on?" Lei Yi asked in a low voice.

"Hmm..." Dongfang Liuli nodded slightly, a strong smile appearing on her pale face.

Lei Yi took a deep breath, gently put Dongfang Liuli down, leaned his back against a huge ancient tree, and looked around vigilantly.

"We must find a way to get rid of them as soon as possible..." Lei Yi said in a deep voice, "Although this fog can temporarily block their pursuit, I'm afraid it won't last long..."

His eyes fell on the strangely shaped trees around him and the black mist that filled the air, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind...

"Perhaps..." Lei Yi's lips curled up into a mysterious smile. He took out a few black crystals from his arms. These crystals were exactly the magic crystal fragments he had collected near the Demon Abyss. "It's time to try my new trick..."

He crushed the magic crystal fragments, muttering something to himself. A strange energy wave emanated from him, and the surrounding mist began to swirl. The strangely shaped trees seemed to come alive, rustling...

Dongfang Liuli looked at Lei Yi's actions in surprise. She felt that the space around her seemed to have undergone some mysterious changes, and an inexplicable sense of security surged in her heart...

Lei Yi slowly stood up, his eyes gleaming with confidence. He looked up into the depths of the fog, a sneer curling up at the corner of his mouth:

"Come on, let me see if you can get out of this fog..."
