Chapter 611: Kaus of Doomsday Volcano (2/3)
Doomsday Volcano, located in the center of the only continent on the Crimson Status, is the withered plain two thousand kilometers to the east, and another thousand kilometers to the east is the God of War Outpost, which is nearly 1,300 kilometers to the east, which is the Silver Fortress.
From the perspective of the overall macro situation, if the entire continent is compared to a circle, the Doomsday Volcano is the center of the circle, and the Silver Fortress is almost on the very edge of this circle, and beyond that, there is the so-called endless sea.
The Endless Sea goes all the way out, and you can't find a second continent, and you can't find any borders, and if a ship goes all the way out, you will find that it will eventually return to the mainland, and if the continent goes east, you will find the Doomsday Volcano, and so on.
Like any other plane, it is a three-dimensional circle, that is, a sphere.
But this is slightly different from the ball where Rollin was once located, this ball is completely the result of the curvature of space, and the person inside the ball does not feel any signs of life on the surface.
So here, the world in the eyes of all intelligent beings is a huge plane, which is described as 'the sky is round and the place is round', which is similar to the ancient China where Luo Lin once lived.
With Ertumen's flight speed, the distance of nearly 3,000 kilometers is only half a day, and Ertumen is just an ordinary winged demon, the speed is considered fast, but it is far from reaching the extreme.
One can imagine how narrow the entire Crimson Plane is in the eyes of the truly strong people of the Crimson Plane, especially in the eyes of the gods, and this is just a small island in the Endless Void.
Now, the nature gods and the dark gods are fighting for ownership of this small island.
Fly west from the Withered Plains, higher ground. The drier the air, the drier. About half a day later. The world in Ertumen's eyes had turned dark red, the earth was dark red, and the air had also turned dark red from the intense mad divine power, like a viscous blood mist.
Not far away, you can see a towering peak, the rocks of this peak are all black and red, and there is no water flowing in the mountain stream of the peak. It's scalding, glowing lava.
Magma gushes out of the crater at the summit and slopes down the steep cliff face like a waterfall. This volcano is the Doomsday Volcano, and this waterfall is called the Blood Falls.
The source of the waterfall, the site of the eruption crater, is the abode of Kaus, known as the Crimson Shrine.
The dark red smoke from the eruption's crater kept pouring out, emitting a pungent smell of sulfur, and Ertumen did not dare to fly in this smoke. Otherwise, the lava mixed with the smoke would burn through the flesh of his wings, making him the first to fall to his death. Oh no, the Winged Demon who was scalded to death by lava.
He landed in the middle of the peak, and climbed up the flint steps built in the middle of the peak.
From time to time, huge caves would appear next to the steps, and many strange-shaped beasts could be seen in the caves, all of which were terrifying creatures of the Abyss Behemoth-level level, a total of one hundred and twenty-five, all of them were guarded by the God of Madness. Hearing the commotion, they all moved slightly, poked their heads out, and when they saw that it was Ertumen, they didn't react much, but just shook their heads and breathed, or simply the light in their eyes to show their presence.
Along the way, Ertumen walked tremblingly.
You know, he wasn't the first Winged Demon to serve the God of Madness, and although he was one of the best in history, it didn't improve his status in the slightest, and he was still very insecure. If any giant beast is in a bad mood and breathes a breath of fire, his little body will be burned to ashes in the first place.
Moreover, the behemoth will not be punished for doing so, and perhaps his master Kaus will scold him a little when he is in a bad mood, but this is the limit, and Kaus will then find a new winged demon to be his messenger.
In fact, there are not a few Winged Demons who have been sprayed to death like this in history, who calls Winged Demons weak and easy to bully.
Dancing all the way to the brink of death, after walking 3,000 steps, Ertumen finally escaped and reached the summit safely.
Here is a pool of boiling magma, the size is very large, a mile in circumference, even if it is tens of meters away, Ertumen has an illusion that it is about to be scorched, he stands far away beside the huge magma pool, shrinking his body, holding his throat, and shouting cautiously: "Master, master, I am Ertumen, I am Ertumen, I am back." ”
After shouting several times, the magma in the center of the hot pool began to surge, and in the sound of bubbles, a figure nearly twenty meters tall with arms several times thicker than Ertumen's entire body suddenly rushed out.
This is Kaus, the god of madness, who only shows half of his body, but the other half is under the lava, his whole body glows with a hot red light, the skin on the surface of his body is almost translucent, and you can see the light flowing under the skin almost exactly like his eyes, and he wears a fire crystal helmet on his head, covering his nose and mouth. Intense light shot out from the place of the eyes, piercing through the red and black mist on the magma, revealing two long pillars of blazing light.
The pillar of light swept towards Ertumen, and a thunderous voice rang out: "Ertumen, what good news have you brought me?" ”
Ertumen curled up as best he could, and sneered: "Master, that legion has been initially successfully formed, and in a month, this large legion will level the newly built sentry post, and even the three sentry posts of hurricane, cold winter, and nature after that. ”
"Sounds good." Kaus laughed, his voice vibrating, causing ripples on the magma, and Ertumen, who was not far away from him, was even more shaken over, but the winged demon didn't dare to show dissatisfaction, just laughed.
At this time, Kaus's tone changed sharply: "However, if there is any bad news this time, I will have to change the messenger." ”
Ertumen hurriedly swore: "Master, you will not be disappointed. ”
"I hope so." There was a pensive look on Kaus's face, and after a moment of silence, he spoke, "But I don't feel good, and I have a hunch that you will fail this time. But how could such a powerful legion, and again a sudden attack, fail? This doesn't make sense, and it only shows one thing, and that is that there may be moles in the legion who will leak the news of this raid. Now, I order you to rush back at once, look carefully, and see who has the problem! ”
Kaes's frenzied powers spread throughout the Crimson, and his hunch was more than just speculation, more likely that these powers were the result of some vague clues and conscriptions.
But because his divine power level is only level 53, his control over such a huge amount of divine power is very limited, so he can't get a clear result.
But this glimmer of foreboding was sufficient, for the ominous, coupled with the known clues, and with a little inference, Kaeus came to a result that was very close to the truth.
Ertumen didn't feel anything at all, he just thought that the master was a little worried, this battle between light and darkness, both sides are fighting to the death, there is no room for maneuver at all, how can there be any mole?
Even if there is a mole, how can he not feel it? The conflict between the intruder's attributes and the dark attributes is very intense. According to past experience, there should be nowhere to hide, and past experience also told him that the other party had never used this trick.
However, he did not dare to disobey his master's order, and hurriedly responded: "Yes, master, I will definitely find out, and then eradicate it!" ”
"I hope so! Don't give me a chance to replace! ”
After saying this, there was a bang, and in the splattering magma, the huge body of Kaus had disappeared.
Kaus was very busy, busy comprehending the mysteries of the law, busy transforming the power of the world, busy suppressing the resistance of the world's origin, and did not have much time to pay attention to these mundane things.
Ertumen stood still for a moment, and then descended the same way, until he reached the halfway point of the mountain, and he once again spread his wings and flew towards the withered plains to the east, despite his exertion.
Although he doesn't think there is any mole, the biggest secret to his ability to live as an emissary for so long is to completely ignore his own will.
He knew very well that he was a dog of the god of madness, and whatever his master told him to do, he did his best to do it, and even if he made a mistake, the punishment would not be severe. If he plays any clever tricks and delays the master's big things, then in the end, he will definitely usher in a terrible punishment that is worse than death.
However, because of the long flight time, Ertumen's physical strength was still a little unbearable, so when flying, he had to slow down a lot in order to recover his energy halfway.
At this rate, it will take me about nine hours to get back to the legion's assembly point, which is only three or four hours slower, so I shouldn't delay anything. Ertumen thought.
Unbeknownst to him, just as he had left the Blighted Plains before, two giants had sneaked out of the Steel Vein Valley.
The two giants carried a lot of cold iron ore as food on the road, and they avoided people all the way, eating while hurrying, although they ran on their legs, but the speed was actually fast, not much slower than him.
The two giants had completed the 1,000-kilometer road in five hours, and while Ertumen was reporting to Kaus, the two iron-eating giants had also arrived at the gate of the Ares Outpost.
"Stop, what are you doing here? What's wrong with just the two of you? The guards on the walls shouted.
"We're here to report the news." The Giant Friend said.
"Our chief commanded us to come. He let us tell you that the messengers of Kaus are assembling a dark army of three thousand men and preparing to attack you. Damon the Giant, too.
As soon as they heard this, the warriors on the city wall immediately realized that the matter was serious, and regardless of whether the giants were giants or not, they immediately opened the city gate and let the two giants in.
Other warriors hurried to the fort to report to Rollin. (To be continued......)
