Volume 18 Chapter 238 Hell Demon
Seeing Peacock and Pluto pointing at the stick in my hand, I quickly explained: "This is the guide's rod, which is the prize for the previous Gate of Truth mission."
The Wizard Staff is actually not a rare thing, because this thing will appear in many tasks. Generally speaking, the Wizard Staff is like a locator, which can help users find the place they hope to reach. Of course, as a common item, the Wizard Staff is also graded like other common items. The lowest-level Wizard Staff is one-time, which can point out the approximate direction of the target location, and it will fail once. The intermediate Wizard Staff has a slightly stronger ability, which can point out the target location more accurately, and can be used multiple times during the search process to continuously correct the direction. However, this Wizard Staff is still a single-task consumable, because it will always point to the target it originally set. The last one is a high-quality equivalent, which is constantly targeted accurately and can be used unlimitedly. In other words, after you find a target, you can enter other targets and use it again. Of course, this high-end product is definitely very rare.
The guide stick in my hand is not a high-end product. The Gate of Truth only determines the level of the reward product according to the user's target. We just need to find the demon and do not need to set the target repeatedly. So what we got in the end is this ordinary version, which can be pointed multiple times, but use the guide stick that is only for that demon. Although compared with the advanced guide stick, the function of this guide stick is slightly worse, but there is no big difference in this task. Besides, the reward of advanced task means a high-difficulty task. In comparison, this general task bonus is the most suitable.
Although Peacock and Pluto had never seen what the guide's rod looks like, she had heard of the function of this thing. When she heard me say that this thing is the guide's rod, she immediately understood the purpose of this guide's rod.
Yinxue looked at the guide's stick in my hand and said, "The mission items provided by the Gate of Truth are indeed good, but why did it suddenly send us over without giving us time to prepare?"
"I think this may have something to do with the location we are currently on." When I was teleported over, I was also puzzled why I was sent here, but combined with the nearby environment and my thoughts, I soon guessed the reason.
"Do you know?" Peacock Pluto and Yinxue, who had not expected to get an answer from me, were stunned and looked at me together. "What's the reason?"
Instead of answering their questions directly, I asked back, "Didn't you find the environment here strange?"
Yinxue nodded and said, "Actually, when I first came in, I wanted to say it. This place is like a dead space. There is no wind, no time passes, and even the energy is still."
When Peacock and Pluto heard Yin Xue say this, he nodded and said, "Indeed, I feel that the energy in the surrounding space is as if it is stuck and cannot flow at all. This is the first time I have encountered such a strange place."
"What energy flow? Why can't I feel it?" Ye Zhizi, who had been hanging aside, couldn't help but interrupt at this time.
When Peacock and Pluto heard him speak, he said directly: "You can naturally feel the energy in space with just a little level, which is called a ghost. You don't even think about who we are."
Ye Zhizi thought for a while and said, "That's right. It seems that my level is the lowest here!"
Peacock and Pluto hit him again and said, "That's right? I didn't plan to bring you here. This task is quite difficult. Before, you were from Vina, but you took the position. I don't know if you really meet that demon and we can do it."
"Okay, Peacock, don't talk about him anymore. Ye Zhizi didn't want to squeeze in on purpose." Yin Xue saw that Ye Zhizi was almost hanging to the ground by the Peacock and Pluto, and finally couldn't bear to talk about Peacock and Pluto for Ye Zhizi.
I also said, "Yes, Peacock, don't say it, it's not his fault."
Peacock Pluto probably knew that she was talking too ruthlessly, but she didn't have the habit of apologizing. She just changed the topic after we finished speaking and said, "By the way, you haven't said what exactly is this place?"
"Yes, where is this?" Yin Xue also turned to me and asked.
"This is actually the legendary..." I deliberately pulled the long voice, and then suddenly said: "Eighteen-level hell."
"What?" As soon as I, the eighteenth floor hell, all three other people present shouted.
"What did you say just now? Eighteenth level hell? Did I hear it right?" Peacock Pluto asked in disbelief.
I looked at the surrounding environment again and said, "It should be true. I have been here once before, so I still have some understanding of the characteristics of this place. If I am not mistaken, this place should be the legendary 18th level of hell."
After hearing my words, Yin Xue also said to herself: "The bottom of hell, outside the world, the node of time, the tomb of the great way. The legendary eighteen levels of hell are indeed real. The environment and legend here are really not bad at all."
"What? Is this the eighteenth level of hell?" Peacock and Pluto asked a little disbelief.
"It should be true." Yin Xue said: "The Eighteenth Hell is said to be a small world beyond the world. When Pangu's powerful power created the world, it actually did not break down the entire Chaos Hongmeng to create the world. A small piece of the chaotic world that was not completely separated finally formed a small world, that is, the Eighteenth Hell. It is outside the world and enjoys a completely unique world law. Here time is completely meaningless, and energy will stop completely here, so you'd better borrow your skills, and you may not be able to recover your magic here."
After hearing Yinxue say that, I smiled and reached out and snapped my fingers. Following me, the vine was suddenly caught in a few feet high in hell. When Ye Zhizi saw the flame, he jumped aside and kept complaining. "Damn, boss, are you thinking about ***?"
Unlike the son of Night with less ability, Peacock Pluto and Yin Xue immediately smiled immediately when they saw the burning flames. "I have forgotten your attributes." Yin Xue smiled and said, "You are the strongest when you arrive in this place."
I also smiled and said, "I don't know where else. When I arrive in such a place, there are probably not many people who can do me."
"Okay, okay, don't show off your evil attributes. Just see where our target is going." Peacock Pluto suggested.
"Well, I'm fine." After hearing the words of Peacock and Pluto, I immediately stood the guide staff I had received before on the ground, and then pressed the top of the staff with a finger to keep it perpendicular to the ground as much as possible. This action is very important for the guide staff, because the accuracy of the guide staff's direction will be guided by this action.
In fact, the guide stick is a crutch with a strange shape. When you need to give a guide, just put it up to the ground, then let it fall naturally, and then look at the direction the head of the lower stick is pointed. However, everyone knows that in a natural state, if an object falls, it will definitely fall in the direction where the center of gravity shifts. Although the guide stick can use its magical ability to turn it toward the direction where the target is, the guiding power of the guide stick is actually very weak. If you can stand it completely vertically on the ground so that it will not fall down at all, and then the guiding force of the guide stick itself causes it to fall down, it will definitely be the most accurate. However, if you put it before
It's not straight, for example, if you take a relatively large inclination angle in a certain direction, the guide rod will not directly fall to that direction, but it will definitely not be able to turn in the right direction. Therefore, the best situation is to stand it completely vertically on a flat ground. Of course, because it is unlikely to find a completely flat ground in reality, it is unlikely to really make the guide rod completely vertical, so a small deviation is acceptable. After all, except for the low-level equivalent rod that can only point to one road, the ordinary version and above can point to multiple times. As long as you use the guide rod many times during the movement, you can constantly correct the deviation and finally find the target.
As I stood upright completely and then opened my fingers easily, the guide rod did not fall down immediately, but stayed still for more than a second, then slowly tilted in one direction, and finally fell down suddenly. Seeing this result, I knew this time it should be considered relatively accurate, because the last second I had stopped at a relatively straight position, which did not allow the tilt of the center of gravity to affect the guiding force of the guide rod.
After retracting the guide staff, we began to move towards the direction indicated by the guide staff.
In fact, in the eighteenth floor hell, most areas should be turned into no-man's land. Of course, this person does not refer to humans, but to all intelligent creatures. Although there are cities in the eighteenth floor hell, here are more of the endless wasteland plains. On those wasteland plains, there are purple fog around us everywhere, and it is often a super-barren area where one person cannot be found for tens of thousands of kilometers in a row. Thanks to the time below the eighteenth floor hell, it is not even a static time. Even if you are trapped, you will not starve to death. Otherwise, the creatures in the eighteenth floor hell will probably die in these barren areas. You must know that the endless sand dunes in the desert are enough to trap most people. Not only is this larger than the desert, but it is also blocked by a layer of fog, and you can't see anything 200 meters away. It is really not something that ordinary people can do if you want to find the right direction in such a place.
Now our goal is not to leave the desolate area, but to find the demon, so we are not worried about getting lost. As for how to return to the world in the end, this is actually very simple. I have another chance to call the Black Kirin for help. This is the promise I made when I met him last time. When I need to go back, I can use this promise to ask him to help. Although the Black Kirin originally promised me to help me in the Russian camp, it was a bit wasteful to make him a porter, but the Russians have retreated in advance, and the Black Kirin's promise will not be used, so this is not a big loss.
In order to speed up to the maximum extent, Ye Zhizi and I summoned their respective guardian spears. Ye Zhizi had only one guardian spear, which was only enough for him to use. Because I was a double number, I had two guardian spears, and the magic pet, Feiniao, is also a spear series creature, so I had three jet mounts. Feiniao kept it for himself, and the other two spears could be distributed to Peacock Pluto and Yinxue, so that the four of us could be completely jet-like.
Relying on the speed of the spears, we were extremely fast in the Great Wilderness Garden, but because the target we were following was a moving individual rather than a fixed location, in order to prevent us from flying over the middle, we had to stop every half an hour and use the guide rod to re-determine the next direction.
Feifei stopped and ran for two hours. When we jumped off the spear for the fourth time and began to calculate the direction, we suddenly found that the guide rod had made a big circumference and pointed to our right left. Although the guide rod had a small deviation every time in the previous few measurements, the change angle this time was abnormally large.
"It seems that we are not far from the target." Seeing the guide's rod pointing, Peacock Pluto and Yinxue both understood that we were actually very close to the target, otherwise the guide's rod would not have such an obvious turn between the two points.
After measuring twice in a row, we confirmed that the direction just now was not caused by my hand slipping, we stepped on the spear again and started running towards the direction guided by the guide staff. Because this time we determined that the target was not far from us, we did not dare to fly for half an hour like before. Instead, we stopped and tested it after ten minutes. However, this time we calculated that the target seemed to have moved its position again, because the pointing point was tilted to the left by an angle of more than ten degrees again.
When Ye Zhizi saw that the direction had changed again, he immediately flashed to his spear's back and prepared to continue flying, but before he could get the spear to fly, I shouted out. "Don't use the spear, the target distance is not far, let's just go there."
Peacock Pluto and Yinxue, who were about to climb onto the spear, jumped down quickly. After retracting the spear, we changed the steel claws instead of the spear. The spear was not used because the spear was too fast, so I was worried that I accidentally flew over my head, but I didn't plan to walk over. Although the steel claws didn't run fast, they were much faster than people walking, so we all changed into steel claws again.
It turns out that my decision was very wise, because I just changed into steel claws and ran for less than five minutes before the blocked vision suddenly became clear. Although many places in the eighteen hell are covered by this purple fog that blocks the vision, not every place is like this. For example, the places where creatures in the eighteen hell gather are usually without fog.
We had just run for five minutes when the fog in front suddenly disappeared, obviously causing us to rush out of the fog area. Almost as soon as we left the fog area, our target also appeared in our sight.
"See her." Peacock Pluto's eyes were the best, and he discovered the target from a distance. The rest of us only saw a large group of people fighting in the distance.
That's right, it's not just one person, but a large group of people. Although in terms of total area, the Eighteen Hell belongs to the area with extremely large and sparsely populated areas, because most of the areas in these Eighteen Hells are deserted plains covered with purple mist, so it's not too strange to see a large group of people at the same time...
"What are they doing?" Although the distance is still far, I still found that the position of the group of people was not very correct.
"They seem to be attacking the demon." Ye Zhizi said while holding a telescope.
Yinxue turned to look at me and asked, "What should we do now?"
In fact, what we can decide now is just two solutions: one, rush over and join the melee; the other, wait until the demon and the local residents have a result before going over.
Originally, if we were in another place, rushing over to watch the fun was actually a good way, but this is the 18th level of hell, and the life form here is quite special. If we rush over now, ten people will surround us as enemies. So if we don’t want to get involved, the best way is to just not go there.
I looked at the people who were fighting for a long time and finally said, "Let's go over now."
"Haha, there's a fight now." The violent Peacock Pluto was immediately excited when he heard that he had gone over now, but Yin Xue had another reaction.
"Why do you have to go there now?"
"It is not good to reap profit, but here is the eighteenth level of hell, and there is no such thing as reap profit. In other places, it is applicable to fishing for profit between snipes and clams, but it is different here."
"How is it different?"
"This involves the environment of the eighteenth level hell. You have also said before that the energy flow here is completely dead, and there will be no energy transmitted in space at all. But you actually don't know that there is actually still energy flowing here, but it is not the free energy in space, but the soul energy between creatures. This entire eighteenth level hell is like a huge insect. Here, every time you kill a creature, the energy in the other person's body will flow into your body in an almost lossless way. So..."
"So if the demon killed all the people there, she would absorb the energy of everyone there and become a stronger existence?" Yin Xue directly took over what I hadn't finished.
I nodded to confirm her guess and said, "So we don't have to think about the fisherman's profit, it will only make our enemy stronger."
"Since that's the case, then don't have to wait, let's rush." Yin Xue also understood now that waiting more will not only not only bring us benefits, but will only make us more passive.
When we collectively rushed to the area where the demon and the local creatures were fighting each other, the demon also noticed us, so she tried her best to run away after seeing us, but because there were attempts to kill her everywhere, she was really inseparable from the fact that she was unable to escape.
In fact, when this demon first arrived here, he was in a head form and was very poor. The teleportation that fled our attack was actually not without cost. For this reason, she lost nearly one-third of the remaining incomplete head at that time. Such a large effort directly teleported her to the 18th level hell.
When she first arrived here, the demon was also very confused because she didn't know where this place was. But unlike us, we were confused because we knew that this place was the eighteenth level of hell, and she was confused about all the external environment because she had never left the Seven Thousand Tombs at all. However, her confusion was quickly replaced by fear, because less than ten minutes after she appeared here, a large group of creatures rushed to her place and tried to eat her.
The creatures in the eighteen levels of hell attack each other to absorb energy, and the demon is made up of soul gold, which is simply a concentrated energy. In such a place, how tempting is a super concentrated energy? So, the excited local creatures rushed up to grab the huge energy ball. However, their thoughts not only failed to give them a full meal, but instead harmed them themselves.
Although the demon's soul gold body has been destroyed by us in the battle, the high concentration of soul gold is still there. Those who first discovered her were little people with little strength. Not only did they fail to suck out energy from the demon, but they were absorbed in reverse the moment the energy channel was established. It was like tying an object with a rope and then pulling the rope hard. If the person who pulled the rope was heavier than the thing tied up, he could naturally pull the thing to him.
Yes, but if that thing is heavier than the person who pulls the rope, then without considering the size of the man's strength, he must have pulled himself to the object in the end. This is the case with the demon and the local creatures who want to suck her. The energy channel established by the local creatures and her is the rope, but because the energy density of the demon is too high, the guys who want to absorb her not only did not absorb her, but instead pulled himself into her body and was absorbed by her.
The demon who thought she was going to die this time unexpectedly got a lot of power for no reason. Not only did he reborn from his body, but he even seemed to have stopped the violent phenomenon in the battle, and his reason returned to her thinking.
Because of her thinking ability, the little demon princess began to start her brain. As the spirit of all things, the most powerful thing about humans is not our body, but our wisdom. After summarizing the previous situation, the little demon princess with thinking ability immediately realized that she should find more creatures to absorb them to greatly improve her own strength. Although she had just reborn her body, this body was actually incomparable to her previous body. Her body was completely made of soul gold, not only had outstanding anti-strike ability, but also had a bunch of special attributes. At the critical moment, her body was completely made of soul gold.
It can even directly release energy by burning the body. In comparison, this body is much worse now. Although the regenerated limbs have most biological functions, they are just simple bodies rather than soul gold after all. In terms of defense and various attributes, they are obviously weaker than their previous body. Moreover, because the soul gold in the head that was originally only a small piece of left in this body, her magic power has also decreased a lot. However, even though she had known before that the average soul gold would reduce the demon power, she would do it without hesitation, because if she didn't do that, her body would not be able to control it freely.
The previous demon princess was actually a soul body, and we can completely imagine her as a ghost. The reason why she had a physical body was because the soul power on her body was too condensed to form a product of energy materialization of soul gold. After that, after most of her body was knocked out, the remaining part of her head became her entire body, and the limbs that were regenerated were actually just empty shells. If she wanted to extend this empty shell body, she had to attach her soul to another ghost. What was the soul of the demon princess? Her soul was that soul. Therefore, if she wanted to attach to the newly created body, she had to decompose her body with only one head and reconstruct it into a human form to attach it to the new body, so that the body would be the body of the demon princess.
Although this method of diluting and dispersing soul gold has allowed the demon princess to obtain a new body, it has to be admitted that her defense and various combat attributes have indeed dropped significantly. However, although she felt that her strength had declined, she did not care too much because she had found a way to make herself stronger again.
Otherwise, the Heavenly Court would be so anxious to destroy this demon? This girl had just arrived at the 18th level of hell and had already started planning to "eat" all the creatures here. If she really did this, when she returned to the world, she would probably not be weaker than when she ran away before, but maybe she would be stronger. Of course, it would take time to implement this plan, and it would not be completed by completing it. When we found this person, she was implementing her plan.
Although the soul gold body was diluted and dispersed into the new body, the soul gold is soul gold. For the existences in the eighteen levels of hell, the temptation of this kind of thing is basically irresistible. So under the initiative of the demon princess, the demon princess soon chased a small group of guys who tried to "eat" her. After gathering these people, the demon princess led these guys to the edge of the no-man's land, then "eat" them all, and then went back to those gathering areas to re-enter a group of people.
Perhaps this method is used so easily. The demon princess couldn't control the pleasure of devouring for a while, so she accidentally attracted a little more this time, so so many local creatures we have seen besieging the demon princess. Fortunately, I know that the law here is similar to the nature of the insect worm, otherwise she would slowly kill all these guys and absorb them, and then her strength would definitely rise a lot.
After seeing us appear, the demon princess herself was also shocked. Peacock Pluto had not participated in the strangling battle against her before, so she didn't know what kind of strength Peacock Pluto was. As for Ye Zhizi, because of its low energy response, it was directly ignored. However, although the demon princess did not know Peacock Pluto and Ye Zhizi, she recognized me and Yinxue, especially me. In the previous battlefield, although I was raised to such a powerful level through the auxiliary abilities provided by the gods of the gods, no matter what, I was the only one who kept pressing her from scratch to the point. So, if you ask this demon princess who is most afraid of in this world, she would definitely be the first to think of me.
Before, on the battlefield, the little demon princess with a complete soul-gold body was beaten so badly by me. Now that her body has become like this, how can I not be afraid of seeing me? Although my current strength cannot be compared with the ability of the abilities of so many great gods on the battlefield, the little demon princess didn't know about this. Anyway, she remembers that she was beaten very badly by me, so now when I see it, the only thing I can think of is to run away quickly.
Although we were not close to the battle group, after we found the target, we took back our steel claws and flew over there. Although the night son was slower, we didn't expect him to join the battle anyway, so we didn't wait for him at all. Peacock Pluto and Yinxue flew to the periphery of the battle group almost within thirty seconds. As soon as we landed, Yinxue looked at me and asked, "Which side should I fight first?"
"It's better to kill those guys outside first. It's better to be absorbed by us than to be absorbed by her."
"Good idea." Yin Xue suddenly stretched out her hand after she said that, and a white beam of light instantly passed through the crowd like a laser. The area on the right side of the entire battle group seemed to have been bitten by someone and suddenly fell a large area of people.
Although these guys locked up in the Eighteenth Hell were all powerful people at the time, they had been in the energy desolate area of the Eighteenth Hell for so many years. Even if they were super powerful people with magic power, their energy should have been almost exhausted now. Therefore, the strength of these powerful people is actually very low. In terms of combat skills and skill theory, these guys are definitely master-level. Anyone can pull them out can establish a school. However, no matter how strong the theoretical knowledge is, it will be in vain. Yin Xue's energy ray can be said to be an ordinary skill without fancy, purely hurting people with energy, and what this place lacks the most is energy, so those guys who were attacked were almost knocked down in an instant without any resistance.
While Yinxue took action, Peacock Pluto also moved. However, unlike Yinxue's high efficiency, although Peacock Pluto's colorful divine light also swept a large area, because the distance is short, the killing efficiency is not as exaggerated as Yinxue. Of course, compared with them, I should actually be the one with the lowest efficiency. Because I just use ordinary chopping, although dealing with these guys is like chopping melons and vegetables, the speed is incomparable to others.
Under our strong attack, the guys who besieged the demon princess were all swept away in a blink of an eye. Except for the corpses on the ground, we were only three of us standing. Ye Zhizi had just arrived at the battlefield at this time.
"Huh? Didn't you say that the demon is very powerful? Why did it solve it so easily?" Ye Zhizi thought we had killed the demon together when he saw the corpse lying all over the ground at the scene.
"No, we just cleaned up the people who were in trouble first." I explained to Ye Zi.
Unexpectedly, after hearing my explanation, Ye Zhizi not only did not understand it, but asked me in confusion: "Since you didn't kill her, what about her?"
"Damn, when did she learn to escape?" I said in surprise as I looked at the empty battlefield.
Yinxue corrected me and said, "She is good at running away. Don't you remember that she had been running all the time just after she came out of the Qiezuka? Later, she stopped running in the Russian camp because she was just crazy."
"Why don't she now know how to escape means she has regained her sanity?"
“It should be.”
"I said why did she run away when she saw us? It turned out that she had regained her rationality. But this would be fine, maybe she could scare her like this." Although we knew that the demon could no longer bully her after he regained his rationality, we thought on the other hand that since she had regained her rationality, she would inevitably be very afraid of me, and I could use this to intimidate her, and maybe she could surrender without fighting. However, no matter how we deal with the demon in the future, it would be serious to catch up with her first.
With the guide rod, we don’t have to worry about losing our target. This thing is a super positioning tracker, and no matter how you run, it’s useless. Because of the problem of transportation, we found the escaped demon princess in less than a minute. At this time, she was desperately running towards the nearby gathering point because she knew that there were many people there and it was easier to mix in it and make us lose our target. Of course, we can also have an indiscriminate coverage attack, but the counterattack of local creatures will delay us a little, so no matter what method we use, it is beneficial to the demon in the gathering point. But she obviously didn’t consider our speed issue, and she was caught up with us after running a short distance. The gathering point in the distance had just seen a shadow at this time. She should not expect to run over at this distance.
Chapter completed!
