The Rise of the Cemetery

This is a world of killing and violence.

While jumping intermittently, You Nu saw two demonic creatures of similar rank fighting and devouring each other from time to time. This is the main theme of the demon world. Only by constantly devouring the flesh and blood core of the strong can we continue to grow stronger and evolve, and can move our position on the food chain with difficulty, making ourselves farther and farther away from the identity of the prey.

The soul coordinates of the two subordinates are cruising not far in front, it seems that the little succubus is still moving at a high speed. The surrounding environment is becoming more and more unfamiliar, the wilderness is no longer visible, replaced by rolling hills and isolated peaks.

You Nu frowned. It has been a while since she came to the abyss world. From her eyes, it is not difficult to see that if she goes any further, she will probably enter the territory of a powerful demon. Only demons above level 5 have the right to occupy such a dangerous terrain to build their own demon palace, capture and collect wandering low-level demons, build their own army, and become a small lord who commands one side.

After eavesdropping on the conversation between the two succubus, You Nu always thought that the little succubus Talia was still wandering, but now, seeing her unbiased momentum, the target should be a certain demon territory ahead. This doesn't match the weakness she showed.

It seems that this guy is also a master of acting, and everyone present was deceived by her. But the question now is, if she has already turned to a new lord, why does she continue to dwell on the old lord's mess? She is so sure that the human mage the plane lord is looking for is mixed among a group of undead?

Without caring about the joints, You Nu finally caught up with the two ghost killers after jumping 7 times.

The little succubus Talia has already entered a magical demon castle. The two ghost killers knew how to do it and didn't try to force their way in. They had to stay outside and wait for the leader's arrival.

You Nu stood naked on a slender volcanic rock, looking at the devil's castle 5 miles away, deeply shocked and restless in her heart.

There was a straight and steep cliff under her feet, and a hundred meters below was a huge lava lake covering an area of ​​nearly 10 miles. A crimson pillar of fire shot up into the sky, dyeing the sky a strange red. At this moment, Younu was standing on a narrow volcanic rock protruding nearly 5 meters forward from the edge of the cliff, looking at the devil's castle in the center of the lava pool.

This is a demon castle floating on lava.

In the center of a huge lava lake, a huge amount of fire-hating demon steel was cast, and based on this, a demon-style demon castle carved entirely from a single block of obsidian was built. Since the foundation is completely submerged under the lava, from a distance, the entire palace seems to be floating on the magma. Looking at the Devil's Castle from a distance, the magma and fire are burning the castle non-stop. All the outer stone foundation walls are red, as if they will melt and collapse in the next moment.

If it is ordinary obsidian, even if it can resist high temperature, it will eventually be melted into a mass of magma. But the terrifying heat just touched the outer wall of the castle, and was absorbed by the mysterious runes arranged on it, and then transmitted to the energy core in the center of the castle for storage.

Such a grand project made You Nu's scalp tingle just thinking about it, but now it is naked in front of her eyes.

Judging from the architectural style and the historical traces deposited in every part of the castle, this demon castle has existed for at least tens of thousands of years, so this is by no means a grand undertaking that a small local lord can accomplish.

Judging from the time and place, this is not the palace of the plane lord Sergey, so besides him, who else in this plane has the ability and qualifications to build a demon castle of such a scale.

The limited information on demons in the ignorant You Nu's mind was not enough to answer this question, so she had to go in and see for herself. But the preparations that should be done before breaking in must be done well, because this demon castle gave her an unusual feeling, as if it did not belong to this plane. If she had to describe it, it would be similar to what Cemetery City gave her.

Outsiders?

Not quite. As an outsider, Cemetery City has to work hard to completely cover itself with the fog of war to avoid malicious eyes. But this demon castle is unobstructed, it is located in such an obvious and dangerous place, and on the way here, You Nu did not find any difference between the demon creatures and other places.

This does not conform to the development law of an outsider lurking and growing.

The lava lake is not a regular circle, but an irregular pattern similar to an ellipse. The devil's castle in the center of the lake is nearly 2 miles away from the nearest shore. The way to get in and out of the Devil's Castle is to fly or swim in the lava lake. But as far as the eye can see, there is a huge winch on the huge platform in front of the gate of the demon castle, and there are thick purple-black iron cables on it that go straight into the magma. Just now, I heard from two subordinates that the succubus rose from the magma. The Chain Bridge into the Devil's Castle.

It obviously has wings to fly in, why is it so troublesome to use a heavy and clumsy winch iron bridge?

Thoughtful in her heart, she stretched out her hand to take a light photo, and a fist-sized fragment of volcanic rock on the cliff behind her flew into her hand. Following a slight shake of Younu's wrist, the broken stones flew forward like sharp arrows. The first 30 meters was normal, but when it left the cliff top for more than 30 meters, there was an obvious tendency to fall rapidly.

Younu's strength is not great, but that's compared with a powerful fighter. It's normal to throw a stone like this one hundred or two meters on the flat ground. But here, even beyond 30 meters, it began to fall uncharacteristically and rapidly, drawing a strange arc and falling into the viscous lava.

"No Fly Zone"

A strange term suddenly appeared in You Nu's heart. This is also a weird vocabulary that the weird master fiddled with, but it is very vivid. I just don't know what method was used in the opponent's castle to achieve this?

The cemetery city can also realize the no-flying in the surrounding airspace with the help of the mage tower, but it will consume a lot of bones and dead energy, so it is never willing to use it at ordinary times. I only tried it a little in the last battle of eternal night, and the effect is not bad. OK. Hehe, even the bone dragon can push back to the ground's magical restraint, who dares to say that the effect is not good.

But how did the other party achieve it, gravity control or magic prohibition, or magic disorder? More importantly, to maintain such a large area of ​​no-fly zone, where does the magic energy come from?

You Nu looked down at the viscous magma slowly flowing a hundred meters below, and nodded thoughtfully. Making good use of the terrain here, magic energy is not a problem. She bet that at the bottom of this thick lava lake, there must be a huge magic circle continuously operating, absorbing the heat of the lava, converting it into the energy needed for magic prohibition, promoting and maintaining the existence of the no-fly zone.

So who is the enemy targeted by such a grand project? If it is aimed at demons, then the effect of this project will be reduced by half immediately. Although demons are not immune to fire like devils, they also have extremely high fire resistance, they cannot fly over them, but they can swim over them even if they swim.

From this point of view, the construction of this demon castle is targeted, and it may be aimed at non-abyssal creatures. At least if the demons in this demonic castle can't shrink back, as the hero of the cemetery, Younu can't think of any way to attack such a dangerous territory.

He couldn't fly, and he couldn't walk on the magma. If the opponent had set up a magic barrier, he might not even be able to sneak into this demon castle.

What a good but not bad spirit!

When You Nu detoured to the shore facing the Devil's Castle, the sound of rumbling lava flows filled my ears, and through the tumbling heat waves, I saw a faint red light on the outer edge of the castle. cover. On the shore, You Nu also saw 5 huge pillars made of special metal, which were deeply nailed into the hard basalt boulder, with metal chains as thick as the thighs of ordinary people wrapped around them, extending all the way to the hot lava lake.

Usually, the Devil's Castle loosens the chain and leaves it submerged in the lava. When it is necessary to enter and exit, the winch is used to tighten the chain, so that the passage can be unimpeded. Such an arrangement is simply unimaginable, but it is simple and effective, and it effectively blocks You Nu from the gate.

If you really want to annoy You Nu, you can go back to the land of chaos and call Hellfire, and let him carry you through, but why not keep it a secret? Such a well-arranged demon castle will definitely not lack long-range attack weapons such as catapults and bed crossbows, and it is definitely not something that one or two people can storm down.

You Nu, who was troubled by this, waited for another 3 hours, but did not see any movement in the Devil's Castle, so she could only give up resentfully. A ghost killer was left to watch over this place, and he used the soul connection to pass on the weirdness here to the demon wizard who stayed in the chaotic place, and then he continued to embark on his journey.

The left-behind Ghost Killer couldn't survive for long in such an extreme environment. It was estimated that they would be roasted to powder by the scorching heat here in 10 days, but You Nu didn't care. As long as it can send back any useful information before it dies, the soul crystals spent in making it will not be wasted in vain.

...

But at this moment, Li Xun was rushing all night on the flying bat demon.

Time is extremely tight now, and he is not qualified to relax at all. Li Xun has no choice but to rely on the bat demon to rush to the Dagon Kingdom day and night. As for the Crow's Mouth, Li Xun gave it to Siris. For the sake of her safety, it's better to hide her "person" by her side.

Originally a very loose itinerary, due to the construction of two cemetery cities in the middle, the time suddenly became tense. The female thief Elena, who had already arrived at the Dagon Magic Academy, kept sending out magic messages, urging Li Xun to go as soon as possible. , There are still a lot of crappy matters such as qualification certification, study arrangements, and competition coordination that need to be interviewed.

Qibaila and other Three Kingdoms are worthy of being the country of mages. All cities and villages are extremely welcoming and enthusiastic towards mages. They will not make a fuss about mages who descend from the sky riding huge and ferocious "monsters". Obviously, they have seen this kind of situation frequently. few.

Compared with greedy businessmen and stingy adventurers, mages are a bit arrogant, and always eat and drink the best and most expensive, but they never care about the price. So if a mage is well served, even a little reward can cover the previous month's income.

Therefore, Li Xun traveled day and night, bumping all the way, and it took him 5 days to arrive at Heslan City, the capital of the Dagon Kingdom.
