The Rise of the Cemetery

Chapter 0238 Volcano

The mercenaries stared back at the head priestess, without saying a word, but tightened their cloaks tightly, and disappeared into the surrounding shadows one after another. They may have been unlucky enough to get involved in the strife between the drows, but as long as their minds are flexible and their luck is not so bad, they still have a great chance of survival.

But the group of drow in front of him is not necessarily the same.

Forced to do such a dangerous task, it seems that they are also the losers of the political struggle. No matter how proud and arrogant the priestess is, everyone can see her cowardice and fear from the bottom of her heart. Searching for fighters as much as possible and coercing her to complete this almost impossible task is probably the only thing she can do!

Acting alone, with almost the hope of surviving, followed a female drow who was eliminated, and could only be dragged into the quagmire of death by her.

So, all the way forward, all the way lost. When passing through more than a dozen large or small caves along the spiral corridor, the team has shrunk sharply to less than 30 people, including the 18 people from Drow.

Regarding the loss of mercenaries, the priestess didn't make any statement, and in fact she didn't need to. In this area sandwiched between Kazan Moyes City and the Kuroshio Mercenary Group, there is no other passage at all, and those guys will meet them in the ruins sooner or later. If they are not given a chance to struggle and test, they will not give up helping themselves to complete the damn task.

The procession moved forward in silence.

...

Been flying out for a day and a night.

Sitting on the back of the Bat Demon, Li Xun sensed the state of several of his heroes who were in various places, and opened his eyes after noticing anything unusual.

The crow's mouth lying on his shoulder chirped a few times, jumped directly into his arms, found the most comfortable angle for himself, and lay down with his eyes closed. Li Xun smiled lightly, and gently stroked its well-defined feather lines with his fingers, allowing it to play in his arms.

With the spread of the forces in the cemetery, multi-line operations and multi-point flowering have become the norm. Regardless of the Skeleton King in the undead world or the blood demon in the underground world, the interference around him is getting stronger and stronger. Without the help of the Mage Tower's boost, it is already difficult for Li Xun to establish direct telepathic communication with them, and he can only passively sense their emotions. The state of the soul, in order to judge their current situation.

He is very relieved that the expedition army in the undead world is hosted by the Skeleton King. After all, Skeleton King is the early hero who has followed him the longest. He is very stable in both heart and behavior, and he is a loyal person who can trust his heart. But the Gorefiend has some doubts. It's not that he has doubts about the loyalty of the Gorefiend, but that he seems to have been wandering somewhere in the middle of the Underdark region. Could it be that he has encountered some embarrassing and difficult things? If you can't contact him directly, you can't help him, and you can only rely on him for everything.

As for Elliot City's brother Siris, it is also a key area that Li Xun pays attention to. The soul fragment lurking in His Majesty Hansen's soul has shown signs of being assimilated, and he will completely lose contact with Li Xun in about 7 days. This makes him a little anxious, after all, he promised Siris to protect him. her brother. However, this induction also got some messages from afar. It seems that there will be an important blood sacrifice at the altar in 3 days, and how to intervene at that time needs to be carefully considered.

So the most urgent thing at present is to arrange the matter of diving into the bottomless abyss within 3 days, so that we can concentrate on preparing for the "altar" with all our strength.

The bat demon flitted across the boundless mountains, forests and hills, the trees under its feet gradually became denser, and the gradually rising mountains could be seen in the distance, and the direction indicated by the little devil pointed straight to the undulating mountains. Siris from behind whispered a word: "It may be leading us to the abyss of darkness!"

Li Xun closed his eyes and thought for a while, and the information about the Nether Abyss slowly flowed through his mind.

It used to be a famous place of bloody battle in the general history of the mainland. According to legend, thousands of years after the Elf Empire was overthrown, the mainland was at a critical juncture of competing for racial dominance. Some insane guys once opened up a plane passage to the bottomless abyss there, triggering a major catastrophe in the history of the Klein Continent. Large-scale demonic invasion.

There is no record of how the war went on. It is only recorded that after a bloody battle, human magicians successfully shattered that plane passage. Due to the large number of demons who died in front of the passage, that area has been completely polluted by the filth of the lower world, and it has become a famous dead place and Jedi in Klein Continent, named Nether Abyss. Some demons that were not wiped out once escaped and harmed many local aborigines before they died, and multiplied many descendants with demon blood.

In order to keep the bloodline pure, human beings have sealed off this area for hundreds of years, strictly prohibiting the outflow of demon bloodlines, and created a strange ecological circle there in disguise. Some people maliciously speculated that the magician at that time wanted to raise a batch of live demon samples that could be used in magic experiments. After all, the nightmare beasts that were all the rage in the mainland came out of this place.

But with the passage of time, the number of demon descendants here has become increasingly rare, and has lost the value of research. However, during the period when the Arcane Empire was rising, this place was fully utilized again, and the passage to the bottomless abyss was opened again, and this place became a scientific research center for arcanists. However, with the war between the Arcane Empire and the gods in the sky, this place also fell into a devastating blow, and once again became a Jedi with dense space cracks and energy turbulence.

Until now, thousands of years have passed, the space structure there has regained its stability, and most of the gaps have returned to normal under the self-healing of the space. There may still be a small number of gaps, but the paths leading to it are unpredictable. In an unknown area, the traffic environment is extremely harsh, so it cannot attract the attention of the Mage Guild.

Looking at what the little devils are pointing at today, could it be that they have secretly opened up a passable "path" in this Jedi? However, with the devil's caution and cunning, this probability can be ignored. All situations can only be adjusted accordingly, and even be prepared to deal with being attacked.

Li Xun looked at the little devil in front of him. Since entering this mountain range, its spirit seems to have been revived a lot, and it is no longer sluggish and depressed in the middle of the journey, but it still has a bit of excitement.

The forest under the feet fluctuates with the mountain, and it is already a sea of ​​forests for thousands of miles, covering the entire mountain range in lush greenery. There were constant sounds in the forest, and in Li Xun's vision, birds and beasts were everywhere, and he couldn't see the danger that was once hailed as a Jedi.

The three bat demons flapped their two huge membranous wings as they scraped across the forest tops. From time to time, they could see the figures of wild beasts running on the ground through the gaps between the branches and leaves. The vicious birds could still perceive the strength of the pedestrians, and circled around them from a distance, without attempting to attack them.

In a blink of an eye, the bat demon has leaped over many low hills in a row, bypassing those towering peaks, and heading straight to the depths of the mountain.

From a distance, one could see a column of smoke rising straight ahead, and that was where the little devil was pointing.

This is an active volcano that is still active, and the plume of smoke that soars to the sky gathers and does not disperse, directly marking its location. It was only when we got closer that we discovered the difference of this mountain.

The active volcano is not big, with a radius of less than ten miles, and the highest point is only 200 meters. The smoke column is coming out of the cone top. There are no trees on the entire mountain, not even common weeds, shrubs, and moss. A clear dividing line around the foot of the mountain circles the volcano. The rocks and the soil all showed a dark red color, as if infinite heat was radiating from the soil, baking the world.

The crow-billed pea-sized bloody eyes in Li Xun's arms opened abruptly, turned over and got up, and began to seriously look at the familiar aura in front of him.

The bat demon dropped its figure on the outer edge of the dividing line. The little devil had already jumped down, flapping his little fleshy wings crookedly and rushing into the dividing line. The moment it entered the dividing line, its black and red tough skin brightened up, like a dying person rescued from drowning, eager to take a breath of fresh air.

Under Li Xun's gaze, wisps of dark red aura emanated from the ground and flowed into the little devil's body, making it more energetic. Cruel breath.

However, no matter how cruel the little devil is, it is still just a cruel little devil, and it is still a small flame that can be extinguished at will. Therefore, under the laughing gazes of the three of Li Xun, the little devil fought a cold war, perfectly suppressed the little violent impulse in his heart, and bowed his head to his ears again, but couldn't restrain himself from peeking at the delicate and white skin of the two beauties, from time to time Swallow your saliva.

Of course, the little devil's pretentiousness could not be concealed from the eyes and ears of the three of them. Younu's cold and beautiful eyes were already full of icy murderous aura. Even Xi Lisi couldn't help but her eyes were full of evil, but Li Xun's expression remained unchanged. It's just that the smile on his face is stronger.

Not knowing that he was already on the road to death, the little devil nodded and led the three of them to climb the not-so-precipitous volcano, walking towards the cone of the peak.

As soon as they stepped into the dividing line, the three of them felt their skin tighten, as if stepping into a melting pot. There is a scorching smell of incineration in the air, and you can't feel any dampness from your breathing. From the nostrils to the lung ducts, and then to the exposed skin, there is a faint burning sensation. Every time the soil under the feet is stepped on, there will be a slight sizzling sound, and the edges of the soles will quickly turn black and carbonized. It was so itchy that I wished I could tie an ice cube to the bottom of my feet.

This is probably the abyssal breath wafting from some space cracks! Sure enough, it is not something ordinary people can bear.

The body of the crow's mouth is made of abyss scale copper, but it seems extremely excited in this environment, spreading its wings and following the familiar breath straight to the crater.

Both Li Xun and Siris blessed themselves with "endure the environment" and "protect energy damage", and opened up the mage's shield, and Younu's black spar armor had spread all over the body, and disappeared in the swaying light stature. After the three of them were fully prepared, they continued to follow the steps of the little devil.
