With the Empress's ability to communicate, she can command the bugs more easily, and I can even give vague orders. In the past, because the intelligence of small insects was too low, and the mother worm only had the ability to communicate, it was difficult to form an effective command, but now it is different, and the mother worm can manage these small insects on her behalf. I just order the general requirements, and the mother worm will think about how to implement it.
In order to test the effect, I gave a simple order, and told the bugs to get all the unknown objects in the fortress in front of me and concentrate them. Don't underestimate this order, if I had ordered it before, the bugs would have brought everything over, because anything can be considered an unknown object to them. Now it's noticeably better, and the bugs only end up bringing me back three oddly shaped little things.
I summoned Yeyue, and Ling and Xiao Chun came out and handed the three things to them separately. "Do you recognize?"
They took the things and looked at them carefully. The shape of these three things is exactly the same.
Ling was the first to say, "This thing looks like a key. ”
Xiao Chun also nodded: "But this key head is very distinctive." ”
The front end of these things suspected to be keys is a two-inch-long cylinder, and the column body is divided into several sections like a metal and a crystal like a tiger grouper, and each section has a complex interlocking structure in the center. If I didn't have the grip at the back, and the volume was a little larger, I would probably think of it as the gear set of a car transmission, and the structure is unimaginably complex.
Ye Yue looked at it for a long time before he spoke: "This is the key, and it is the key to activate some kind of large magic array. These crystals are sealed with powerful energy. However, the crystal part has a magic brand for disengagement, and if there is a corresponding activation energy and these magic brand, the energy structure on the key can be activated. As for what the head of the ground can be turned for, I don't know. ”
"It's a combination lock." Xiao Chun took the thing and showed it to me: "Did you see it?" Each section can be rotated separately, which means you can't aim the front head at all, but the complex structure in the back resembles a car gearbox. ”
"What is a car transmission?" Night Moon is not a real creature. Of course she didn't know what a gearbox was.
I stopped Ye Yue's inquiry: "This is not easy to explain, you let Xiao Chun finish the words first." ”
Xiao Chun immediately continued: "The gears of the gearbox are ostensibly made separately, but in fact they are all connected to a spindle, and the car gearbox is used to control the gear transportation. If I'm not mistaken, after this key is inserted into the keyhole, it is possible to use a set of spells to hold the corresponding lock in place, and only the part that needs to be rotated is turned, and it is useless for people who do not know the secret word even if they get the key. ”
"Usually a complex key represents a more complex gate, and a more complex door means that behind it is a great wealth." After Ling finished speaking, he looked at me: "Is the master interested in looting this treasure house?" Besides, where are we? Why do I feel so evil here? ”
Xiao Chun immediately shouted: "That's it, my earth's strength has been suppressed by more than one-third!" ”
Ling Yi stretched out his hand. A green flame immediately erupted in her palm. "I think it's a good fit for me."
"This is the eighteenth layer of hell."
"You mean the deepest place under the Netherworld in China?" Ling asked.
Xiao Chun immediately said, "Isn't that equivalent to entering the Land of Exile?" The hell on the European side is connected to here. ”
"Master, why did you get here?"
"It's a long story, but it's always a mistake. I just want to find a way to return it now. ”
Yeyue turned to look at the fortress, "But the bugs ate everything." Who are we asking? ”
Xiao Chun immediately said: "Since there is a fortress, it is impossible to have no regular city. This eighteen-story hell should also have a normal city, let's just go and ask them. ”
I nodded, "Actually, I know where the exit is, but I don't know where it is." And unfortunately, there's an elder who is stuck at the entrance right now. God knows if it's going to be over. ”
"Then try it!"
The eighteenth layer of hell is not connected to the outside world, and the entrance of the eighteenth layer of hell is a passage that is forcibly opened by mana. As long as there is enough strength, there is an exit anywhere, and if there is not enough strength, there is no exit at all. But now it's different, there's a boss here that's stuck in the exit. The black unicorn broke through the passage. If possible, we might be able to figure out a way to get him out, and in exchange he should agree to get us out with us.
I took back all the beetles, and the Empress said they were going to evolve, so I asked them to go back and evolve. But when they came out again, it was already noticeably different from before. The name of the newly born little thing is called the ghost bug, which can still devour a large amount of all kinds of substances, and it also has an additional transformation ability. The Ghost Worm now has two basic forms, one of which is a diamond form and the other is a ghost form. When they are in diamond form, their defense becomes very high, and neither magic nor physical damage is of great use. However, if the attack power is high enough, it can still kill them. When they are in their ghost form, their bodies turn into illusory illusions, allowing them to pass through obstacles such as walls and ignore physical damage. Of course. There are pros and cons. In ghost form, although their physical attacks are ineffective, they completely lose their magic defense.
I asked the Empress to send all the bugs out to help me find a new city, I need to inquire about things, and of course I can't swallow the city again this time. There are many people who are easy to do, although the size of the small bugs has shrunk to the size of a palm again after evolution, but the speed has increased significantly, and after a while, a few ghost bugs reported that they had found the target. The Empress's telepathy could remotely control all the ghost bugs at any time, and the large number of scattered insects suddenly stopped neatly, and they turned in a different direction at the same time. Flew towards our destination.
The new city apparently didn't know what was going on with us, and the bugs had devoured all the enemies before they attacked the fortress, and there was no one alive to report to, and the city was still calm. I put away the pets and bugs. Entered the city alone.
It's not much different from the city on the ground, except that the inhabitants here are ugly, and some of the human forms are generally high-class goods. The shops in the city sell all kinds of items, and the ghosts have kept their habits alive, which will not be forgotten. However, in addition to normal goods, it also sells all kinds of strange items, such as spiritual power.
I've reverted to my human form, and I didn't even wear a helmet to show off my features. It's a ploy I came up with on an improvised basis. The higher the sexist here, the closer they are to humans, and the more powerful and beautiful they are. I don't have a helmet to let everyone see my human form, and my appearance is definitely a sign of strength. This is hell, a place where the jungle eats the strong. This way, I can get some people with bad intentions to avoid it automatically. My approach proved to be quite effective, and the gate guards collected some strange black objects from every monster that entered the city. Probably the coins here, and they didn't even ask when I went there. After entering the city, it was almost the same, all the monsters would take the initiative to give way when they saw me, and even the guards patrolling with weapons would immediately stand on the side of the road to give way when they saw my face and the flames on my body, which was really a snobbish place.
Taverns are generally a good place to gather information, and it just so happens that there are such places here. The sign at the door directly reads a big wine word, and a fool knows that it is a tavern. For fear of burning down the house. I took out the shield and put it on my wrist, and the flames on my body disappeared immediately. Not everyone in this city is haunted by flames, according to my analysis, it is a symbol of strength, different colors and sizes represent different power levels, and most people here have flames as short as hair, and they can't be seen if they don't pay attention. In addition, if the flameless earth is still in human form, it is even more terrifying, which means that you can already gather your strength. The two herdsman-level women who were gnawed off by the bugs, and the unlucky ghost reaper later, could collect the flames at any time. Without fighting, they simply don't let out flames.
Although the flames are obscured, my appearance can still be used to scare people. This place is ugly, but it is more popular, and the more beautiful you are, the easier it is to scare people. It's not because the monsters here are beautiful because they are ugly. It's because it's too pretty. To be able to grow like me is equivalent to a humanoid nuclear bomb here. As soon as I entered the tavern, the tavern, which had been very lively, fell silent for a moment, and hundreds of pairs of eyes stared at me without blinking.
It took a long time for a long hippopotamus-like monster to come running up, first with a ninety-degree bow, and then said, "Is there anything wrong with this adult?" ”
"My lord? I'm not much of an adult. ”
The hippopotamus immediately laughed. "Don't be kidding, my lord, with your handsome appearance, I'm afraid you are a master of the Reaper level, and you are also the best among the Reapers. Don't know which region you are? ”
"Reaper? I seem to have reached this level, and surpassed it a lot, but I'm not a lord. I'm new here, and I've just entered the eighteen layers of hell through the guò passage. ”
There was a sound of snorting air all around. The hippopotamus immediately looked at me again in surprise. "Are you someone who has just entered the Forgotten World? It's unbelievable, it's really rare for someone like you to be so powerful as soon as you come in. But then again, did you just eat someone? ”
My eyes suddenly froze, and he immediately took a few steps back in fright and quickly explained. "Don't get me wrong, I'm not accusing you of murder. Since you have entered here, it means that you have done some terrible things up there like us, and ordinary sinners do not need to go down to the eighteenth level. You just came in and didn't know a lot of things, we only respect the strong here. Everyone is a spirit, and by killing someone else and eating him, you can accumulate power, including the lord. If anyone dares to challenge the lord and kill the lord, he is the new lord and no one will pursue it. ”
I wanted to hide the news just now, but now it seems completely unnecessary. Murder is the same as a medal here, not only is it different and hidden, but it can also be taken out and flaunted, and it is really barbaric and thorough. But my gaze immediately glanced coldly at the others, and the hippopotamus immediately stopped me again and said, "This lord." Don't be impulsive. While killing people can make you stronger, don't go too crazy. It's useless for a master of your level to absorb us, and besides, isn't it too lonely to have only one person in the world? ”
Barbarism to barbarism. These heinous criminals are not stupid. If all the ghosts and sinners of the eighteen hells killed each other, then only one member would have to commit suicide in the end, so they retained a large population in addition to retaining their savage characteristics, and even formed cities.
I immediately looked at a table next to me and walked over, and all four monsters sitting at that table immediately stood up and stepped aside. I swaggered over to the table, sat down at the table, and scanned the whole shop. "I have some questions now, and I believe you can bring me the answers."
When the surrounding monsters heard this, they immediately nodded their heads like chickens eating rice.
"Good. The first thing I need to know now is what is the currency here? ”
"That's it." The boss quickly took out four coins and laid them out on the table. The four coins are divided into four colors: black, blue, red, and purple. The hippo boss said: "These are coins, black is black coins, and purple is purple coins." The black denomination is the smallest, and it increases in the order in which I put it. The carry method is one hundred decimal places. There is also a white white coin with the largest denomination, which I don't have here. ”
"One hundred pieces in a carry. That means that one white coin is equal to 100 million black coins, right? ”
"Yes."
I took a red coin and touched it: "What kind of material is this thing made of?" ”
"Strength."
"Strength?"
"Condensing it with magic power, eating this money is the same as eating someone else's power to absorb the other person's power. With a coinage spell. Everyone can condense coins on their own, but will permanently lose the same amount of power as the coins. Of course, you can also use guò to eat coins to increase your strength. ”
This world is based on strength, and using power to make coins is indeed in line with the environment here. "Good. Here's a question. Do you know the Black Kirin? ”
"Black Kirin?" The hippopotamus boss shook his head: "What kind of thing is he!" You know our race here is chaotic, and our appearance changes because of power. Look at me, shit, I used to be a big handsome guy! What kind of character is the black unicorn you are talking about? For example, his strengths and the mistakes he has made. This has the potential to affect his appearance here. ”
"You don't know who the Black Kirin is?" The owner's answer was very unexpected. The Black Qilin is the guardian of the underworld, the warden of the eighteenth layer of hell, and there are people who don't know him. I turned to the other monsters, "What about you?" ”
The surrounding monsters shook their heads vigorously, but none of them knew about the black unicorn.
"Alright then, let me think." I thought for a moment and asked again, "Black Qilin is the name of the world, maybe he has another name here." Do you know what a unicorn is? Seeing a magical head around me, I continued: "The black unicorn is the black unicorn, a very rare type. Usually unicorns are not black. ”
The boss boldly said, "My lord, let me interject." The unicorn seems to be a mythical beast, right? Are you looking for a Kirin with us? Isn't it a bit ......? ”
"Under normal circumstances, the unicorn should not have come here, but the black unicorn is an anomaly. A very rare breed that was once sent here to manage this eighteenth layer of hell, and strictly speaking, he should be the informant here. ”
"Are you talking about the master?" The boss said in a panic: "Did I guess right?" ”
"Master? What does he look like? Describe it to me? ”
The boss shook his head: "I'm sorry. We only know that the power of the master is above the one qiēcun zài here, and even if all the reapers here are united, they will not be able to resist the master's move. He rules a third of this world and is our co-leader. As for his appearance, we haven't seen it. Except for the reapers, no one is qualified to meet the master. ”
"You say a third? Isn't this area all managed by the Black Kirin? He's supposed to be the strongest here, huh? ”
"No, no, no. I think you've just come in and may have confused this place with the people on the ground. These eighteen layers of hell are not on the same level as the human realm, and the area we have here is much larger than the human world. The great gods of all regions of the human world have territories with us. The area where we are now is called the Eighteen Levels of Hell, the area where the gods of Asia exiled prisoners. There are two other forces in the rest of the land, one from the Arabian region of the world, where their god of death, Anumuns, lives. The other power is European, who, like the gods of Asia, exile prisoners and the most terrifying creatures here. ”
"I see. In other words, the world is divided into three forces, right? ”
"Yes."
"When I was on earth, I heard that it was some difficult characters to be sent to the eighteenth layer of hell, and it is said that all of you here are extremely powerful, but I am curious. I just killed a reaper and two herders, and they feel like they're all weak, and you can't even compare to them, and that's even weaker. Why is this happening? Aren't you all strong men who were exiled here? Why is it so vulnerable? Before I came, I always thought that you were an ancient beast that could be compared to a small soldier! ”
An embarrassed expression appeared on the hippopotamus's face. "Actually, you don't know. This eighteen-layer hell is used to exile us people, which means that the whole world is a prison. If this place was beautiful, the gods wouldn't have thrown us here. The main reason why this is a penal colony is that it is a world that is dying. ”
"Decay?"
"If a world is dying, the energy in that world is on a downward trend. We are all strong when we get here, but our energy here is gradually sucked out of our bodies, and as a result, it becomes weaker and weaker. ”
"How so? According to you, isn't there soon no zài in this world? ”
"The world is not a living thing, and it is dying much slower than we do. Although it is a world that has entered the period of exhaustion, it is also a distant thing for us, and the only thing that we hate is energy decay. However, we have come up with a few ways to deal with this, and one of the most useful is energy shielding. The flames in our bodies are not actually useless, they are insulating the loss of energy. As long as the flame is burning, it will not gradually lose energy. But there's one thing we can't get out of, and that's the consumption in motion. Exercising, talking, using magic, and doing everything in this world is consuming one's own energy, and when it is consumed, it can only be replenished by robbing others of their energy. In other words, the flames only reduce the rate of energy consumption, and the total energy number of this world is still decreasing. ”
"Aren't you going to be finished sooner or later?"
"That's not going to happen. After all, new individuals are being put in all the time. These individuals must be carrying energy, whether they live or are eaten by others, they always add value to the total energy of this world, and everyone needs to consume coins to live here, and condensing coins consumes energy. This is energy compensation, and we rely on these new members to ensure the value of consumption, so we can barely maintain the balance. ”
"Good. I get a rough idea. So do this master and that Anubis consume energy? ”
"They don't consume energy."
"Why?"
"Because they have flesh."
"Aren't you entities too?" I'm the belly of the boss.
"It's not the same. We are only condensed low-level entities, but they are high-level entities. We can have physical bodies, but all kinds of functions are chaotic. Without energy to support our body, it will collapse, but the body of the master will not dissipate even if the main body dies. ”
"Then how can I meet your master?"
"We don't know about that, maybe you should ask Lord Reaper."
"Okay, tell me how I met the Reaper."
"There's the tallest building in the center of the city, it's the residence of an adult, you can go there and find him."
