Chapter 1044: Disappearing Laconia
"It should be here, but it's gone. Su Qingqing's hand pressed on a point on the map, and Huo Chi suddenly understood what she meant.
The location that Su Qingqing pointed to was not other areas, but the Demon Realm located in the southern part of the subcontinent! This strange area where monsters were constantly generated, and it was also the central area where monsters first appeared, this no-man's land that ordinary people couldn't enter at all, and it was called the Demon Realm by the people now.
As the name suggests, the Demon Realm is the realm of monsters.
Laconia was devoured by the Demon, and it was indeed gone. What's even more worrying for Huo Chi is that Laconia's location is right in the center of the Demon Realm, which means that the aqueduct is almost impossible to exist.
Strangely, the map on the key actually points to the aqueduct in the center of the Demon Realm, and the pyramid pattern on the front is very likely to be at this location of the aqueduct.
Huo Chi picked up the old book again, carefully looked at the elevation of the aqueduct, and found that the so-called clue to save the world left by the ice city should be in the center of the uppermost layer of the aqueduct.
What can there be in this place? What can be opened with a key? Do you need a key to use a water pipe? Huo Chi looked at every drawing of the water supply and studied it for a long time, but he was still puzzled. It seems that this mystery cannot be solved without going to the scene to find out.
According to the latest estimates in the first half of the year, the area covered by the Demon Realm is already 34 million square kilometers, and this area is still being further expanded.
In such a vast area controlled by monsters, this aqueduct is right in the most dangerous central area of the demon realm.
According to the reports of materials and literature, the monsters in the center of the Demon Realm are unimaginably powerful, what hundred-level and thousand-level monsters, in that place, they are simply the existence of the junior brother level.
Only monsters above 10,000 people are the mainstream monsters there. Huo Chi thought to himself that his current strength was okay against a single hundred-level monster, but if he faced a thousand-level monster alone, or even a higher-level monster, he had no chance of winning at all.
It's really scary, is the key from the center of the Demon Realm, what does the owner of the Ice City have to do with the Demon Realm, and why can he have such a key. And why did he know about himself, and why did he think that this key was the key to saving mankind, or even saving Su Qingqing?
Wouldn't it be safer for Qingqing and everyone to stay in the Demon Realm if they didn't go to the Demon Realm?
What danger will Qingqing face, what awaits everyone, is there only one way to go to the Demon Realm?
The Expedition Military Department has a top-level mission that has always been on top, that is, to go deep into the center of the Demon Realm, find the lair of the monsters, and find out the reason for the appearance of the monsters.
If you can complete this task, you can directly get a high reward of 500 million Huaxia coins, and you can also get other excellent rewards from the country, so this task was named by everyone in the expedition - Wu Tanhua.
However, so far, the expedition team has sent countless expedition members, but none of them have been able to receive this "Wu Tan Flower". This means that no one in the Demon Realm Center can enter at all, or they can't get out at all after entering.
However, the owner of the key wants to let him go to the center of the Demon Realm, is this a joke with him? This kind of joke is not funny, this is a joke that costs his life.
Thinking of this, Huo Chi couldn't help but take out the metal key. Looking at the silver card in his palm, he suddenly hesitated. Is it possible to die for this key? He is already a man who has died once, and knows the horror of death and the preciousness of life.
Is this hard-won life going to waste in such a place? He doesn't want to, he doesn't want to, and he doesn't want to. He hasn't eaten enough of the monsters here, life here hasn't fully begun, and he and everyone in the Snow Leopard Team have just become family.
No, no, no, don't figure out what's going on with the key, just put it down first, and then think about it when you're strong enough!
Huo Chi made up his mind and was about to put the key in his arms, but at this moment, a drop of water suddenly fell on the back of his hand propped up on the table.
Where did the water come from? Huo Chi raised his head suspiciously, only to find that Su Qingqing was still rubbing his eyes. Seeing Qingqing covering his eyes, Huo Chi realized that the drop of water was not water, it was Qingqing's tears!
"Qingqing. Huo Chi handed the handkerchief to Qingqing, speaking of which, this embroidered handkerchief was still given to him by Qingqing, and now it can be returned to its original owner.
"Hmm. Qingqing didn't say anything, she quickly took the handkerchief and wiped away her tears. When she put the handkerchief down, she returned to her normal appearance.
After coming to the expedition, Qingqing barely shed a cry again. But now, when she realized that her sister's clue was actually in the center of the Demon Realm, all kinds of conjectures that frightened her finally broke the fragile defense line in her heart.
Why does my sister have a connection with the Demon Realm Center, why? She can't go to the Demon Realm Center, right? That place is hell on earth! People who go deep into the Demon Realm have never returned, sister, why did you abandon me, why did you abandon your family and go to the Demon Realm?
Huo Chi can probably guess what happened to Qingqing now, she is worried about Su Qingyu, but no matter how worried she is, Su Qingyu's life is also her own. Qingqing's life is also her own, and if a person is bent on dying, how can others stop it?
"Qingqing, let's stop here for the time being, the Demon Realm Center is not a place we can go, so let's take a long-term view of this matter. Huo Chi quickly put away the key, don't take out this thing, so as not to cause unnecessary grief to Qingqing.
"But, my sister, she. Su Qingqing knew that it was too selfish to ask everyone to enter the Demon Realm Center, so she shook her head desperately and then said, "Okay, let's do this first." ”
"You promise me first, you won't trespass into the Demon Realm. Huo Chi suddenly felt that Su Qingqing's mood had changed too quickly, and he knew that something was wrong, and he immediately grabbed Qingqing's hand: "Promise me, quickly!"
"I... Su Qingqing felt the temperature of Huo Chi's palm, her emotions gradually eased, she calmed down, and now going to the center of the Demon Realm is to send her to death... Well, I'm still waiting for the right opportunity... But where are the right opportunities?
However, I'm going to the sentry post next, and I might be able to stop my sister's next move at the sentry post, which would be great.
"Promise me. Huo Chi continued to say word by word: "Now is not the time to go to the Demon Realm Center, you can't go to the Demon Realm Center. ”
"I promise you. Su Qingqing nodded solemnly.
"Very well, you have to remember your promise. Huo Chi was slightly relieved to see that Qingqing had finally agreed.
