Since long ago, strong people in the underworld were not many. They fought more and more between clans, so strong people were less and less.
With the seeds of strife and grudge between the clans makes the demons of the hell realm easily affect the inhabitants of the underworld and become mogullons. And strong people can survive unaffected by these demons.
Residents who can run away and hide when the arrival of the demon army of hell realm including Mongshui and his friends. They live on the move to avoid being found by the demons of the hell realm.
The demons then enslaved the mogullons to dig back the gates of hell, but the excavation was very difficult because it had been petrified for more than thousands of years. While some of the inhabitants of the powerful underworld are imprisoned by the demons to be tortured and want to be influenced.
“Master, I have long gone to the human world, so I don't know the developments that have happened to date.” Mongshui said.
“Alright, let's continue towards Dragon Claw Valley.”
The three of them then continued on their way towards the Dragon Claw Valley. Shen Long used the Hell Fire Spirit to illuminate their journey so that Qiongqi would not run out of energy.
Qiongqi had a keen sense of smell, so he could smell the smells of the demons of the hell realm as well as the mogullons who were near them. But Shen Long was also able to know their existence by exerting his sense of hearing as well as his aura.
RPRPR...
“Master, I smell a demon near us.” suddenly Qiongqi stopped her steps. Shen Long also stopped and stored his Fire Spirit then exerted an aura around their place.
Mongshui who was behind Shen Long brought himself closer with a face of fear.
“Their number is ten. Qiongqi, can you clear them yourself?” shen Long asked.
“Master, I am Master Sakti's student. I only lost to you, of course I can fight a low-class demon like this.” said Qiongqi confidently.
“Good! If they are close, you alone attack them directly.”
The three of them continued on with Qiongqi leading the way ahead. While Mongshui's face was quite pale in fear after hearing that there was a line of hell realm demons that were near them.
After getting close enough to those ten hell realm demons, Qiongqi immediately flashed and charged at those demons fiercely. The demons could not be twisted due to their shock so Qiongqi easily devoured all of them.
During the journey towards the Dragon Claw Valley, they had encountered the demons of the hell realm several times thus making Qiongqi feel satisfied with the trip this time around.
“Did you never feel full Qiongqi?” shen Long asked him with a smile.
“Master, these hell nature demons are a supplement to my body as well as other races.” Qiongqi grinned, revealing a face that was encouraging and frightened Mongshui.
Shen Long shook his head at Qiongqi's behavior. Indeed Qiongqi was a ferocious mystical creature, they ate all the races he encountered. However since being defeated by the Sakti Master and following him, Qiongqi had learned a lot from the Sakti Master.
Now that his vastness even though it was still there, he could refrain from devouring all races carelessly. So it was currently devouring a hell realm demon like him back treating his thirst all along.
They then arrived at a river that was not too wide and the flow of water was not too heavy.
“Red river?”
“True sir, upstream of this river is my hometown, the Water Demon clan.” said Mongshui who then reminisced about his past before the demons of the hell realm came to destroy the underworld.
Shen Long observed the river water that was indeed red as he brought the Hell Fire Spirit closer to the surface of the water.
“Dragon Claw Valley is located in front of us. After crossing this river, we will enter the territory of the Dragon clan. Then we will pass through the dragon lake which is quite far in front of us, then we will pass through the place that was once a forest. And it was at the end of the forest that the Dragon Claw Valley.” Mongshui explained.
Hearing Mongshui's explanation, Shen Long felt a bitter tone from Mongshui's words. It seemed like he had experienced many tragic events during the hell realm demon chase.
Shen Long then flew up to lift Mongshui's body to cross the river while Qiongqi also flew with her wings.
“Master, because our direction is clear ahead. Why don't we just fly towards the Dragon Claw Valley?” qiongqi asked Shen Long.
Shen Long shook his head. “Although we are heading in the right direction, but we do not know when to land because the underworld is darker than the human world. If use lighting from the air, then we will attract more enemies who come.”
Qiongqi nodded her head understanding it.
“Mongshui, we are really counting on you to escort us to the Dragon Claw Valley.” Shen Long patted Mongshui on the shoulder and made Mongshui feel proud of it.
“Good Sir!” Mongshui saluted with proud eyes.
They continued their journey through Dragon Lake as the name implies, the lake was once the playground of the Dragon Clan who loved water. The Dragon Clan and the Water Demon Clan were friendly, so their territory was close together.
Mongshui as a child often went to play in the lake, and it looks from his face to remember his past when playing in the lake. Shen Long allowed Mongshui to rest for a while reminiscing about his past on the lake.
Mongshui's face turned red when he saw Shen Long turning towards him. “Sorry sir, I remember the past when I passed this lake.”
“It's okay Mongshui, I must have done the same thing if I was in your position.”
After that Mongshui sighed and hurried to continue their journey back until passing through the barren land that was once a dense forest.
Mongshui's face looked grim through the former forest land, to the Water Demon clan, they liked the water and trees. So seeing the disappearance of the forest, they became annoyed and angry.
Finally they were at the end of the former forest land. Shen Long sensed many demonic auras as well as the aura of mogullons and some of the auras of the inhabitants of the underworld around them.
“Qiongqi, you go with Mongshui towards the other side and watch the direction of the Demonic Dragon Palace. I will go alone to the Dragon Claw Valley. Contact me immediately if you feel that there is a Demon General coming from the direction of the Demon Dragon Palace.”
“Good Sir, said Qiongqi.
Mongshui climbed Qiongqi's back, then they went to the other side to watch over the direction of the Demonic Dragon Palace.
