Chapter 1922: Gate of the Abyss
Although Leo knew that the death of the five Quador Demons would have a certain impact, he did not know how big the impact would be, and he was not worried about what kind of trouble this impact would cause to him. It is said that just relying on the contract in his hand that the Quador Demons cannot complete and will die if they touch it, he can impose many excessive conditions on the Quador Demons. After all, this foundation with the will of the abyss is enough to become the Quador Demons. A fatal disaster for the demon clan.
So after leaving the market, Leo was waiting for Quador Demon to take the initiative to find him, discuss the trade contract with him, solve the problem of the unexpected deaths of five Quador Demons, etc., but he had nothing to do. What he thought was that two months had passed, and he himself had arrived outside the Bone City, but there was no trace of the Quador Demon. This made Leo couldn't help but wonder whether the Quador Demon clan had not discovered the contract in his hand. How destructive it is.
However, Leo didn't pay too much attention to this. After all, the initiative was in his own hands. The longer the delay, the greater the final price for Kuadomo. Anyway, he was not the one who suffered in the end.
After putting aside the matter of Quador Demon, Leo turned his attention to the Bone City in front of him.
As a city alone, Bone City may be the largest city he has ever seen, even compared to the big cities of cosmic civilization.
The entire Bone City is made up of a pile of bones, and judging from the remaining power aura on the bones, all the bones here are from the upper races of the abyss. As for the number of bones used, it may be an astronomical number, because this is a pile of bones. A huge pile of bones that is more than 4,000 meters high and covers an area of one million square kilometers at the bottom. This is only the main city of Bone City. If you include the inner and outer areas that you have walked through before, then the size of Bone City is The actual control area exceeds hundreds of times.
These bones are all expressions of the combat power of the master of Bone City, the Orochi, the Orochi. It is precisely because of this that when the Orochi implements this law of order that is incompatible with the main body of the abyss, no one in the abyss dares to stop it, not even the Black Swamp next to it. The abyss serpents among them only cursed this ethnic traitor with their lips, and none of them dared to come forward to trouble him.
After arriving at Bone City, the most eye-catching thing, apart from the huge main body of Bone City, are the twelve abyss gates hundreds of meters high standing on the edge of the main body of Bone City.
The reason why the Gate of the Abyss is eye-catching is not because of its huge size. In fact, there are many buildings in the Bone City that are larger than the Gate of the Abyss. What really makes them so eye-catching in the City of Bones is the abyssal atmosphere they exude.
In the Bone City, the power of order and law has occupied the absolute main force, and the abyss atmosphere full of chaos, killing and corrosion has become extremely thin. Basically, if Leo does not sense it carefully, he will not be able to sense it at all, so The strong abyssal aura emanating from the Gate of the Abyss is as eye-catching as an ink dot on a white paper, and it is difficult not to notice it.
These abyss gates were made by the Quador Demons. They built abyss gates in almost every location in the abyss that could be called a city. The existence of these abyss gates facilitated their travel to and from various parts of the abyss. Trading, after all, even for a high-ranking abyss race like Quador Demon who is favored by the will of the abyss, it is very dangerous to travel around the abyss with a large number of valuable commodities.
There are some crazy abyss races in the abyss. They are not as worried about Quador Demon's mysterious and powerful trading law power as the upper-level races of the abyss. Once these abyss races take action, Quador Demon will inevitably suffer casualties. For the Quador Demons, it is definitely not a good deal to exchange the elderly Quador Demons of their own tribe for the annihilation of such low-level abyssal races. In the end, they can only acquiesce in losses or use other methods to retaliate. .
The creation of the Gate of the Abyss solves this problem very well. To put it simply, the Gate of the Abyss is like a jump relay called a Star Gate used in the universe to travel through star regions. Even the names of the two are similar. , it uses the power of the Gate of the Abyss to fix a spatial rift in it, and uses the power of different runes on the Gate of the Abyss to guide the connection between the spatial rift and the Gate of the Abyss corresponding to its frequency.
Compared with ordinary space rifts, the Abyss Gate is more stable. Even if it encounters a direct impact from the Abyss Secret Technique, as long as the Abyss Gate is not destroyed, the space rift will not be affected in any way. Secondly, the Abyss Gate can accommodate More and larger objects pass through, as is evident from its height of several hundred meters.
Although the Quador Demons are the makers of the Gate of the Abyss, and even the manpower and material resources required to create the Gate of the Abyss were all paid by the Quador Demons, the controller of the Gate of the Abyss is not the Quador Demons. He is the controller of the place where the Gate of the Abyss is built.
The reason for this is entirely to prevent intruders from directly attacking the hinterland of the land controller through the Gate of the Abyss. If Quador Demon does not hand over control of the Gate of the Abyss, then I am afraid that no Abyss superior will let him in. Build an abyss gate in the place under your control or even in the surrounding areas.
It is precisely because the control of the Abyss Gate must be handed over, so Quador Demon will try to reduce the number of Abyss Gates built as much as possible. In most places, there is only one Abyss Gate built, and such as Bone City The construction of twelve abyss gates is very rare, which is enough to prove that the business in Bone City is very developed, and Quador Demon has regarded it as an important commercial hub.
During the time when Leo was standing far away and observing the Abyss Gate, the twelve Abyss Gates were opened two or three times respectively. Every time, caravans from all over the Abyss passed through. Some of them left their goods in the Bone City to sell, but more of them went to another Abyss Gate to transport the goods to other places.
In addition to helping caravans to and from all over the Abyss to transport goods, these Abyss Gates are also responsible for transporting the Abyss races living in the Bone City to various places in the Abyss.
There are so many Abyss races living in such a huge Bone City that Leo feels that all the survivors of the fallen world in the entire Abyss have gathered here. This is only the population of the ground part of the Bone City. The intertwined skeletons under the Bone City form a complex maze, and many dangerous Abyss races and creatures live in the maze. Their number is no less than that of the people on the ground.
Such a large population naturally consumes a huge amount of food every day, and the Bone City itself does not produce food, so every day there are a large number of Bone City residents who go to different places through the Abyss Gate to hunt, and some residents even domesticate some edible Abyss creatures for large-scale breeding, so Leo can also see a large number of farms here, some of which even domesticate humans.
Leo has no intention of rescuing those humans, because from all indications, those humans who will be sent to the table of the Abyss race or used as sacrifices are no different from beasts.
Compared with the humans in those farms, Leo is interested in some slaves sold in the slave market, because he actually saw Bev people selling in the slave market.
Bev people is just an abbreviation given by the Earth Federation to this cosmic civilization race. The real name of Bev people is very long and cannot be fully pronounced in human language. The Earth Federation can only take the first pronunciation and the last pronunciation to form an abbreviation to refer to this cosmic civilization.
However, the Earth Federation has never given up the research on the real name of Bev people, because this name contains mysterious cosmic power, and anyone who recites it in full will produce completely different and incredible effects.
In the universe civilization sequence, although the Bev civilization is classified as a medium civilization sequence, the treatment given to this civilization is that of a high civilization. It is also the only medium civilization in the universe that has an official seat in the universe supreme council instead of an auditor seat.
The reason why the Bev civilization has such a high treatment is that the Bev civilization is a very special energy life civilization. Every Bev person is born from all the energy of a planet. In some universe civilizations, the Bev people are even called star gods.
According to legend, the Bev people will put the life fire they have bred into the core origin of a suitable life planet, and then as the life of the planet is bred, the life fire of the Bev people will gradually merge with the origin of that planet and grow together. When it reaches adulthood, it will transform everything on this planet into enough energy for it to complete its transformation into an adult, and finally give birth to a Bev person at the cost of sacrificing a planet.
Because they are energy life forms, the Bev people do not have the same level of psychics, nor do they belong to the ranks of Omega-level advanced life forms, but this does not mean that the Bev people are not powerful. As long as the location is right, their combat power can almost be comparable to that of Omega-level advanced life forms in the universe. However, it is very difficult for adult Bev people to continue to improve their strength. It is said that they need to complete several extremely harsh conditions. Other civilizations are not clear about the specific conditions.
Because the growth of a Bev person requires the consumption of a life planet, the Supreme Council of the Universe has always restricted the number of Bev people. It is said that the number of Bev people has always been limited to less than 50 people, so they are also the civilization with the smallest population in the universe.
The Bev people are naturally unwilling to accept such restrictions, but facing the strength of the Supreme Council of the Universe, they have no choice, and the official seat of the Supreme Council of the Universe should be a compensation for the limit on the number of their population.
Although the Bev people are very mysterious, there are only a handful of civilizations in the universe that have actually seen the Bev people, but it is very simple to identify the Bev people, which is basically an open matter in the universe.
No matter what form the Bev people appear in, the most eye-catching part of them will have a planet's mark, and the shape of this planet's mark is the shape of the planet when they transform into adults.
The Bev slave that Leo noticed now appeared in human form, and the planet's mark on his forehead was extremely eye-catching. Leo could even tell the appearance of the planet when it was complete from the details shown by this mark.
However, at this moment, there was no energy fluctuation on this Bev person, which was very abnormal. Leo initially thought that this Bev person had some restrictions on him, which restricted his energy, but after carefully scanning through the mental network, he found that there was no restriction on the other party, and he didn't even wear shackles or anything like that. He just let him stand casually among a group of terrifying abyss creatures, and he didn't show any fear, there was no expression on his face, and his eyes were very empty, as if he had no soul.
With curiosity, Leo came to the slave stall. Like all other stalls, this stall was built with a tent supported by a skeleton. Most of the slaves here were low-level abyss creatures with low intelligence and used as cannon fodder when invading other worlds. People who usually buy these slaves here usually use these slaves as sacrifices.
The owner of the stall was a Nokis dog demon. Dog demon was a name given by Leo because this abyss race had a head similar to a hound, but people who knew Nokis dog demons knew that this head was actually a disguise, and the real head was its body.
The Nokis dog demon, who was constantly cursing in some abyss language, saw Leo walk into his tent, and immediately stood up, bent over, trying to make himself look shorter than Leo, and then came forward and said something respectfully in some universal abyss language he knew.
The reason why the Nokis dog demon behaved so respectfully was entirely because Leo deliberately released a little power of the crystal snake after entering the tent, making it mistakenly believe that Leo was an abyss snake transformed into a human.
Unfortunately, his flattering words were completely in vain, because Leo could not understand his language.
However, Leo was not without a way to communicate with him. He used the observer's spiritual communication ability to directly connect with the Nokis dog demon's spirit and convey his meaning, saying: "I want this human, make an offer!"
Finding that Leo was actually connected with his spirit silently and conveyed his thoughts to his spiritual origin, the respectful look on the face of the Nokis dog demon became more and more intense. Obviously, in his opinion, since Leo could silently connect with him, he could also directly use his power to crush his spiritual origin.
Faced with this situation, even though the Nokis dog demon had an almost instinctive greedy habit, he did not dare to offer any high price. He could only sell the Bev man to Leo at the basic price of three bone coins.
"Where did you get this human?" Leo asked again after handing the three bone coins to the other party.
The Nokis dog demon took the bone coins and answered Leo's questions.
It turned out that he had picked up this Bev man on his way to the Bone City, and this Bev man was not a slave he wanted to sell, but food he used to feed his slaves. As long as the Bev man still had a head left, it could grow back, which meant that the Bev man was an inexhaustible source of food.
