Chapter 34: Like the Sun (6000)

The sixth layer of the abyss, the Molten Sea Hell.

In the dark sky, black clouds filled with poisonous dust surged in the blood-colored sky, and in this long-dead world, the sun was extinguished, the stars and the moon had nothing to do with it, except for the lava red rays shot out of countless huge cracks in the earth.

The world is sweltering, but not dry, and from time to time huge amounts of hot water vapor mixed with metal solutions shoot out from the ground, and they rise into the sky, mix with the poisonous clouds, and then turn into acid rain that can corrode everything and fall to the earth, and then converge into lakes of high concentrations that exist for a few hours at most.

But even so, it is one of the few sources of water in the world other than the River Styx.

Molten Sea Hell, the Great Plains of the Black Sea, beside a sour lake that had just appeared because of the rain, accompanied by the stampede of Si Si Suosuo, countless traces of creatures suddenly appeared on the originally empty land, and a low howl began to echo around the lake.

Legend has it that the Great Plain of the Black Sea was indeed an ocean two thousand years ago, and what was churning in this sunken plain was not a thick haze, but a sea water that could barely be drunk despite a lot of poison, but because of the war between the sixth abyss and another layer of abyss, the multiple demon lords fought here, causing the sea to evaporate out of thin air, and most of the water vapor seeped into the earth, and then erupted from time to time with the movement of the earth.

But no matter what the truth is, life always has to multiply, no matter how difficult it is.

The gray corroded earth, with the sound of the carapace grinding of the sinister sore was drilled out of a thousand small holes, and the dense abyss worms crawled out of the earth, enjoying the long-lost acidic air, this scene was so disgusting, tens of thousands of gray-white fat maggots wriggled and churned, mixed together, absolutely made all the dense phobia faint on the spot, but the chaos did not last long, about a few seconds later, accompanied by a strange flute sound - or the sound of a horn, As if they had heard the order, the worms began to scramble towards the acid lake not far away.

Not far away, a six-legged, somewhat mantis-like insect humanoid demon has just come out of the ground, it slowly put down the weird bone flute in its hand, silently watched these worms one by one can't wait to roll into the water, most of these worms are neatly corroded by acid, but there are always a few of them through rapid mutation to evolve corrosion-resistant shells and acid-friendly internal organs, they happily absorb the water in the lake water, and then with the help of their own kind of corpses grow rapidly, crust, pupated, and finally turned into crimson eggs floating on the surface of the water.

"The success rate of this hatching is good."

Looking at this scene, the insect demon thought in his heart: "120,000 worms, it should be able to hatch almost a hundred demon eggs, it seems that the quality of this batch of worms is very high." ”

While thinking so, it bit the flute with its hideous mouthparts, and made a flute sound containing magical power, driving away the abyssal beasts and monsters around it that were trying to get closer, as a herder, its duty is to drive the abyssal worms into the acid lake to hatch, and then bring back the demon eggs, in the process they must be wary of the surrounding beasts, because the demon eggs are a great supplement for them that can promote their advancement.

Because in these demon eggs, there are pure soul fragments.

In various legends and records, demons have always appeared as soul raiders and destroyers, occasionally invading a world and then destroying it completely, taking all the souls and resources from it, but most of the time, they will suppress their chaotic and evil nature, patiently trade with worlds they are powerless to attack, and trade souls from creatures that crave demonic power.

The reason for this is unknown to most of the mid- and low-level demons, and even those powerful demons may not be able to understand the truth, but as the closest subordinate of a demon lord, the insect demon 'Carson the Herd' knows the truth of everything.

The reason for everything is because the abyss is a dead world.

What does a world mean to be dead? The elements crumble, and the power of steel dissipates? That's for sure, such worlds have long since disappeared into the void, but many worlds still have a complete elemental cycle, and the power of steel is silent, but it still exists, so why is this kind of world judged to be dead? That's why—the reincarnation of souls within this world has come to an end.

Since the beginning of life, the soul will appear, with the reproduction and death of life, the reincarnation of the soul is also getting stronger and stronger, the invisible and qualitative power will circulate in the heaven and earth, forming a great soul reincarnation, its power will make the new soul more and more powerful with the replacement of generations, it is easier to grasp the mystery of magic and fighting spirit, as long as the end does not come, then this cycle will continue to grow, because it is a symbol of the world's 'living', is a flame representing the collective consciousness of civilization and life.

It is both the power of fire and the power of steel, which represents the world itself, forming a cycle called existence.

Destroying the vast majority of life in a world in an instant can weaken reincarnation, dim the flame, or even make it end, the reincarnation of destroyed souls not only cannot nourish the new souls and make them strong, but also inhibit the birth of new souls, so that the newborns of the whole world become stupid and blind, and even vegetative people, living in such a world, unless they keep plundering souls from the outside world, otherwise there will never be a future at all.

This is the reason why the abyss keeps invading the outside world, and even waging plundering and bloody wars against each other, in a world where the soul stock is fixed, only continuous plundering can strengthen itself and make its own world maintain.

Anson, the shepherd, is to transform the looted soul fragments into abyssal worms, and then herd them. The creatures at the bottom of this demon biological chain will spontaneously devour the soul fragments in the bodies of the dead kind, and then keep advancing, those red demon eggs contain enough soul fragments to support the sanity of a little demon, and the soul fragments of dozens or hundreds of little demons can be fused into a complete soul that is enough to support the minds of middle-level demons, and in the process of devouring and plundering each other, the demons will become vicious and cruel, and become the best soldiers of the abyss lords when they attack other worlds.

This is both the cycle and the order of the abyss. Plunder others, or die.

- Of course.

Herder Anson thought so, and this worm-man demon couldn't help but stir in his heart - the complete souls formed by the fusion of fragments could not be compared to those souls that were obtained through trading or other means, full of resentment and anger, and those souls were the raw materials for the Abyss Lords to transform into a great demon like the Fire Demon, and no matter how trusted by the lord of a herding insect demon was, it would never know the steps.

If only it could know the mystery...... Then maybe it can become a lord too.

And just as the Worm Demon was churning in its heart with the demon's unique heart of betrayal and repulsion, a violent roar like lava explosion suddenly sounded in its soul.

"Anson!"

The voice was so harsh, and the power contained in it was so thick that the insect demon knelt on his six limbs in an instant, quietly waiting for the owner of the voice, his lord, [Great Demon Carlo], a corrosive demon with king-level potential, to give further orders.

- Could it be that I swallowed some of the demon eggs and found them alone? The demon's simple mind didn't bend too much, and the insect demon's instantaneous thoughts were immediately sensed by the great demon Carlo, but what was amazing was that the corrupted demon lord in the name of tyranny and cruelty did not punish his subordinates, but continued to give orders with his violent roar: "Hurry up and get out of that sour lake—those demon eggs are gone!" Hurry up and get out! ”

Anson was stunned for a moment.

A grazing insect demon that specializes in hatching can increase the chance of hatching worms by half, which is a great wealth for any demon lord, even if they swallow a part of the demon eggs alone, as long as it is not too excessive, most lords will not perform any life-threatening punishment, at most they will tear apart part of their souls and let them spit out what they swallow alone, but this time the lack of punishment still makes the insect demon feel incredible, it knows how stingy and stingy its lord is, of course, Unbelievable, it still stood up immediately, and then obeyed the instructions to abandon the insect eggs and quickly burrow into the earth, its specialized exoskeleton limbs and sharp body structure can quickly dig underground, just in an instant, it has escaped into the ground 100 meters deep, and the hole is more buried than dirt.

Any demon, can not be proficient in combat, can not have any wisdom, but they must be good at escaping and hiding, not good at both, long ago in the small devil period was chewed as a snack by other big demons, the insect demon instantly digs a hundred meters of the ground even in the multiverse of the various races are considered the upper level, it has escaped countless pursuits.

Soon after, the earth shook.

Looking down from the black sky of the Molten Sea Hellfire, you can see that at the edge of the Great Plain of the Black Sea, a huge pillar of smoke is rising, moving rapidly, and all the abyssal beasts and monsters in their path are scattered in panic, these cunning and cruel monsters will try to bite even in the face of the dragon, but at this time they are like dogs with tails between them.

Boom Boom!

With the sound of hurried footsteps, it was already possible to see what kind of creature was moving before the huge smoke and dust, but strangely, the first thing that caught my eye was a humanoid fire demon about five meters tall.

Judging from the size of this flame demon's body, it can be seen that its strength has reached the peak of the great demon, which is equivalent to the extreme realm of the human world, and it is sprayed with flames above and below a thousand degrees, enough to melt steel and vaporize rocks, but at this time it is running rapidly, and the flames up and down its body are suppressed by the wind in front of it, dragging it behind it, allowing it to bring out a long tail flame.

It doesn't look good, no one has ever run like this on the ground, they have always lived in abyssal volcanoes or hot poisonous soups, they have grown up with the power of nature, they rarely need to hunt, and only go to other areas when they are close to advanced and need new supporting bones.

What could make a Great Demon-level Fire Demon run so badly? Not far away, many wild little demons or mid-level demons wandering in the plains were puzzled as they fled.

Then, the doubts were solved—in the huge pillar of smoke behind the fire demon, a huge figure emerged from the dust mist, revealing its huge and hideous body.

Golden-red, like lava, as if melting steel, dragon pupils, high up, as if they could penetrate the sky, inky black, like crystal-like carapace layered on top of each other, like scales covering its body, red fire elemental mist wrapped around its spur-covered wings and limbs, so that every step it stepped on brought a terrifying explosion, causing the smoke and dust to rise into the sky.

A powerful black dragon. Its chest was a string of golden crystalline nuclei that shimmered like the sun, and its very presence had raised the temperature of the already sweltering abyss by at least thirty degrees.

The black dragon followed behind the fire demon, its speed could surpass that of the fire demon at any time, but it followed the other party honestly, not daring to cross over, the fire element around the black dragon and the tail flame of the fire demon echoed each other, so that the surrounding earth, which originally contained strong acid and all kinds of combustible substances, ignited a large area of flames, like a flame nova.

Deep underground, the Grazing Insect Demon Anson curled nervously in the ground, its six limbs hovering in front of its chest, making itself a ball, and the Sheding Demon's strong spiritual power that was strong enough to control hundreds of thousands of abyssal worms at the same time cautiously poked out, observing the movements of the outside world.

It saw it, the running fire demon, which immediately shocked the insect demon's heart, because the strength of this strange fire demon was even no less than its corrupting demon lord, and in terms of personality alone, the blazing demon incarnated by flame poison was far higher than the corrosive demon composed of high-concentration acid, the former even defeated the latter, and the corrosive demon could only exert one-tenth of his strength when facing the fleshless fire demon.

No wonder the leader asked me to hide quickly. It thought silently. A new fire demon, this can definitely break the pattern of the demon lord of the Black Sea Plain, especially the lord of this layer of the abyss with its core army has invaded the outside world, at this time, no one has come to adjust, the result must be that one of the original demon lords of the Black Sea will die, and the territory will be inherited by the fire demon, or they will join forces to kill this alien stranger.

But then, a hideous black dragon made its brain stop thinking for a while.

- Demon Blood Black Dragon? Those five-colored dragon demons who have only recently settled in the abyss? It's hunting down the firefiend?

Unlike, although the strength of this black dragon is not bad, it is far inferior to the big fire demon, the difference in size is nothing to the fire demon, and this does not look like a chase, but like a ...... Lead the way?

For whom to lead the way?

The grazing insect demon subconsciously raised its head, it wanted to continue to use its outgoing spiritual power to perceive this strange combination, but for some reason, Anson looked straight at the head of the black dragon.

Between the horns of the black dragon, there was a figure wearing black hideous full-body armor, he had no reins, and he didn't need reins, so he stood straight in the wind, letting the wind at a speed of 300 kilometers per hour hit his armor.

The black figure seemed to sense that someone was watching him, and he lowered his head slightly, looking into the ground where the herding insect demon was.

And underground, Anson stiffened, his hideous limbs trembling wildly uncontrollably.

Thousands of voices echoed in his ears, as if thousands of undead were howling, and the demon seemed to see a pair of scarlet eyes at this moment.

And then.

Darkness spreads.

And in the distance.

In the center of an underground fortress in the Great Plains of the Black Sea, a huge humanoid demon that looked like a black water elemental slumped on its large gray stone chair with black bubbles rolling up and down, let out a painful roar, and countless bubbles containing sound waves rose from the core of its body, bringing out countless violent wails that covered its ears.

After about five minutes, the powerful demon slowly sat up from its seat, the stone chair under it had been corroded by its uncontrolled body, and after a long silence, it muttered, "Anson is dead......

"What the hell is going on, how did it die? Where did the violent mental shock come from...... I've never heard that the Fire Demon would have such a talent as Psychic Shock. ”

The demon's fear will only last for a short moment, and later, the Great Corrosion Demon's heart immediately ignited with irrepressible destruction**, its precious herdsman died, which is equivalent to a great loss equivalent to cutting off an arm, it roared angrily and waved its hands composed of high concentration of acid, wantonly destroying the structure in the hall, until a long time later, when it calmed down a little, it called out to several trembling middle-level demons outside the hall that was already full of pits, and gave orders in a cold tone as if it was frozen by the severe cold.

"Mobilize my army." It said, "Inform the other lords around you that the Firefiend is too dangerous. ”

"Before the infighting, let's take out the outsiders."

As the order was issued, the demon armies subordinate to the [Corrupt Fortress] began to slowly assemble, and the armies belonging to the other demon lords also moved towards the northeast of the Black Sea Plain soon after.

That was exactly the direction in which the Fire Demon and the Black Dragon were moving.

At the same time, Joshua, who had only glanced at it with some curiosity before, had already left behind the trivial things that had been peeped at before, and he didn't care about the prying eyes of others at all, but rather, his high-profile actions were originally intended to be peeped at.

Many people come to the abyss thinking of being cautious, cautious, and cautious, trying to hide their identity from other people, other demons.

This is indeed true, if it is to have a long adventure in the abyss, even Joshua will do it, after all, it is too tiring and boring to kill all the way, and there is no way to enjoy the fun of adventure.

But now it's different, what he has to do is nothing more than to look at the current situation of the abyss, and find the two missing legendary ** divisions by the way, at this time, there is no need to be low-key.

Standing on the black dragon, Joshua watched the scenery on both sides fly by, and in the process of the rapid movement of the mount under his feet, he couldn't help but show a wild smile unique to drag racing, the man recalled some experiences about drag racing a long time ago, but unlike in his previous life, now, there is a whole huge abyss plain for him to run wantonly.

The logic of the high-profile is simple. The higher the profile, the more demons will pay attention, the powerful demons will challenge him, the weak demons will avoid him, and before the great lord of this abyss makes a move, his reputation will definitely spread throughout the abyss, so that the two legendary mages hidden in this abyss will naturally know that he has arrived, and also know what kind of trouble their disappearance has caused.

If there is a legendary-level demon lord or the abyss lord to make a move, then just fight, Joshua can't ask for it, if he is besieged, he has the book of Ibonn in his hand, and he can teleport back at any time, and when the time comes, it is a big deal to go back and forth a few more times, anyway, the power consumed by teleportation is this abyss magic guide book, and he can waste it at will.

"Black."

Thinking of this, Qiao Shuya patted the dragon horn on his side, and he said, "Breathe a few breaths of fire, like fireworks, how to be conspicuous." ”

"Roar!" With a low dragon roar, Black immediately understood what his master meant, and the dragon brewed for a moment while running wildly, and then, a blazing golden flame was sprayed into the sky by the black dragon, and the warrior pointed at it, and this flame formed a large and eye-catching sign above the black and red cloud curtain of the Molten Sea Hell.

A strong arm wrapped in chains and holding a sword.

It was the Crest of the Hand of the Sword, the coat of arms of the Radcliffe family, which shone above the heavens, revealing itself like a sun.

Just like its owner.
