Volume 18 Chapter 238 Hell Demon

Seeing Peacock Pluto pointing at the stick in my hand, I quickly explained: "This is the rod of the guide, the prize from the previous Gate of Truth mission."

The Guide's Staff is actually not a very rare thing, because it appears in many quests. Generally speaking, the guide staff is like a locator, which can help the user find the place he wants to reach. Of course, as a common item, the Guide's Staff is graded like other common items. The lowest level guide sticks are all one-time use, they can point out the general direction of the target location, and they will malfunction after pointing once. The intermediate-level guide stick has a slightly stronger ability and 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 guide stick is still a single-task consumable because it is always Will only point to the target it was originally set to. The last one is the Advanced Equivalent Staff, which has precise aim and can be used an unlimited number of times. In other words, after you use it to find a target, you can also enter other targets and use it again. Of course, this kind of high-end product is definitely very rare.

The guide rod in my hand is not a high-end product. The Gate of Truth will only determine the level of the reward according to the user's goal. We just need to find the monster and do not need to set the goal repeatedly, so in the end we get this ordinary version, which can be pointed multiple times, but the use only The guide's staff aimed at that monster. Although compared with the advanced guide rod, the function of this guide rod is slightly inferior, but as far as this mission is concerned, there is not much difference. Besides, the rewards for advanced missions also mean difficult tasks. In contrast, this kind of general task prize is the most appropriate.

Although Peacock Pluto has never seen what a guide's staff looks like, she has heard about the functions of this thing. When I said that this thing is a guide's staff, she immediately understood the purpose of this guide's staff.

Yinxue looked at the guide staff in my hand and said: "The mission items provided by the Gate of Truth are indeed good, but why did it send us here suddenly without giving us time to prepare?"

"I think this may have something to do with the location we are standing on now." When I was first teleported, I was also very confused as to why I was sent here, but combined with the nearby environment and my thinking , I soon guessed the reason.

"You know?" Peacock Pluto and Yinxue, who had not expected to get an answer from me, were both stunned and looked towards me together. "What is the reason?"

I didn't answer their questions directly, but asked instead: "Don't you find that the environment here is strange?"

Yinxue nodded and said: "Actually, that's what I wanted to say when I first came in. This place is like a dead space. There is no wind, no time passes, and even the energy has stopped."

Peacock Pluto nodded after hearing what Yinxue said: "Indeed, I feel like the energy in the surrounding space is stuck and cannot flow at all. This is the first time I have encountered such a strange place."

"What kind of energy is flowing? Why can't I feel it?" The child of the night, who had been left alone, couldn't help but interject at this time.

As soon as Peacock Pluto heard what he said, he said directly: "You are of such a low level that you can naturally feel the energy in the space, so you are called a ghost. You don't even think about who we are."

Ye Zhizi thought for a moment and said, "That's right. I seem to be the lowest level here!"

Peacock Pluto hit him again and said: "That's it. I didn't plan to bring you here at first. This task is quite difficult. Your position was previously occupied by Vina, but you took it. I don't know if I will meet you later." It's up to us to deal with that monster."

"Okay Peacock, please stop talking about him. The Son of the Night didn't mean to squeeze in." Yinxue saw that the Son of the Night's head almost dropped to the ground when Peacock Pluto said it, and finally couldn't bear to help the Son of the Night. Talk about Peacock Pluto.

I followed suit and said, "Yes, Peacock, just stop talking. It's not his fault."

Peacock Pluto probably knew that what she said was too harsh, but she was not in the habit of apologizing. She just changed the subject after we finished talking and said, "By the way, you haven't said what place is here yet?"

"Yes, where is this?" Yinxue also turned to me and asked.

"This is actually the legendary..." I deliberately prolonged my voice, and then suddenly said: "Eighteen levels of hell."

"What?" As soon as I exited this eighteenth level of hell, the other three people present all shouted.

"What did you just say? Eighteen levels of hell? Did I hear you correctly?" Peacock Pluto asked in disbelief.

I looked at the surrounding environment again, and then said: "It should be right. I have been here once before, so I still know a little about the characteristics of this place. If I am not mistaken, this should be the legendary No. 1 Eighteen levels of hell.”

After listening to my words, Yinxue also said to herself: "The bottom of hell, outside the world, the node of time, the tomb of the avenue. The legendary eighteen levels of hell are indeed true. Here is The environment and legend are really the same.”

"What? Is this really the eighteenth level of hell?" Peacock Pluto asked, still a little unconvinced.

"It should be right." Yinxue said: "The Eighteenth Level of Hell is said to be a small world outside the world. When Pangu created the world, he did not actually decompose the entire chaos. In the world, there is a small piece of chaotic world that is not completely separated and finally forms a unique small world, which is the eighteenth level of hell. It is independent from the world and enjoys completely unique world laws. In Time here is completely meaningless, and energy will completely stop here, so you'd better borrow and use your own skills. I'm afraid you won't be able to recover magic power here."

After listening to Yinxue's words, I smiled and stretched out my hand to snap my fingers, and immediately a few feet of hellfire sprouted from my body. When Ye Zhizi saw the flames, he jumped aside in fright and kept complaining. "Damn it, boss, are you trying to **** me?"

Unlike the Children of the Night, who were less capable, Peacock Pluto and Yinxue immediately smiled knowingly as soon as they saw the blazing flames. "I have completely forgotten about your attributes." Yinxue said with a smile: "You are actually the strongest in a place like this."

I also laughed and said: "I don't know about other places. In a place like this, there are probably not many people who can do it better than me."

"Okay, okay, don't show off your evil attributes, let's quickly see where our target has gone." Peacock Pluto suggested.

"Well, I'm fine." After listening to Peacock Pluto's words, I immediately stood the guide staff I had obtained on the ground, and then pressed the top of the staff with one finger to keep it as vertical as possible to the ground. This action is very important for the guide rod, because the pointing accuracy of the guide rod will be guided by this action.

In fact, the guide's staff is just a weird-shaped walking stick. When you need to guide the way, you just have to hold it upright on the ground, release your fingers, let it fall down naturally, and then look at the direction the stick head is pointing. However, everyone knows that in a natural state, if an object falls, it will definitely fall in the direction where the center of gravity is shifted. Although the guide staff can use its magical ability to make it fall in the direction of the target, but The guiding power of the Guide's Staff is actually very weak. If you can stand it completely vertically on the ground so that it will not tilt and fall at all, and then use the guiding force of the guide rod itself to make it fall, that will definitely be the most accurate. However, if you put it not straight before, for example, at a relatively large angle in a certain direction, then although the guide rod will not fall directly in that direction in the end, it will certainly not fall in the correct direction. direction. Therefore, the best situation is to stand it completely vertically on a flat ground. Of course, since it is impossible to find a completely flat ground in reality, and it is impossible to actually hold the guide rod completely vertical, small deviations are still acceptable. After all, except for the low-level staff that can only point the way once, the ordinary version of the guide staff can be pointed multiple times. As long as you use the guide staff multiple times during the movement, you can constantly correct the deviation and finally find the target.

As I stood the guide's staff completely upright and then gently released my fingers, the guide's staff did not fall down immediately. Instead, it stayed still for more than a second, then slowly tilted in one direction, and finally Suddenly fell down. Seeing this result, I knew that this time it should be considered relatively accurate, because the moment of stillness for more than a second showed that I was standing relatively straight, and did not let the tilt of the center of gravity affect the guiding force of the guide staff.

Withdrawing the guide's staff, the few of us began to move in the direction indicated by the guide's staff.

In fact, in the eighteen levels of hell, most areas should be turned into no man's land. Of course, this person does not specifically refer to humans, but refers to all intelligent creatures in general. Although there are such things as cities in the Eighteenth Level of Hell, it is more of an endless wasteland plain. On those wasteland plains, everywhere is filled with the purple mist around us, and it is often the kind of super deserted area where no one can be found for tens of thousands of kilometers. Fortunately, time stands still below the Eighteenth Level of Hell. Even if you are trapped, you will not starve to death. Otherwise, all the creatures in the Eighteenth Level of Hell would have to die in these deserted areas. You must know that the endless sand dunes in the desert are enough to trap most people to death. Not only is the area larger than the desert, but it is also obscured by a layer of fog. There is nothing beyond 200 meters. Can't see clearly. It is really not something that ordinary people can do if they want to find the right direction in a place like this.

Now our goal is not to leave the deserted area, but to find the monster, so we don't worry about getting lost at all. As for how to return to the human world in the end, this is actually very simple. I still have an opportunity to call Black Qilin for help. This is a promise I made when I met him last time. I can definitely use this promise to call him for help when I need to go back. Although Black Qilin originally promised me to help me have a big attack in the Russian camp, it was a bit wasteful to let him be a porter, but anyway, the Russians had already retreated early, Black Qilin's promise If you don’t need it, you can’t use it, so it’s not too bad.

In order to maximize the speed, the Son of the Night and I both summoned our respective guardian spears. The Son of the Night only has a guardian spear, which is only enough for himself. Because I have two numbers in one, I have two guardian spears. In addition, the familiar bird is also a spear series creature, so I have three jet mounts. Asuka keeps it for himself, and the other two spears can be distributed to Peacock Pluto and Yinxue, so that the four of us can completely jet.

Relying on the speed of the spears, we can be said to be extremely fast in the Great Wasteland. However, because the target we are tracking is a moving individual rather than a fixed location, in order to prevent us from overshooting midway, we have to move every half Stop every hour and use your guide's staff to reorient yourself.

We ran like this non-stop for two hours. When we jumped off the spear for the fourth time and started to measure the direction, we suddenly found that the guide's staff made a big swing and pointed directly to our left. Although in the previous measurements, the guide's staff would deviate in a small range each time, the angle of change this time was unusually large.

"It seems that we are not far from the target." Seeing the direction of the guide staff, Peacock Pluto and Yinxue both understood that we were actually very close to the target, otherwise the guide staff would not have happened like this between the two pointings. An obvious turn.

After measuring twice in a row to confirm that the direction just now was not caused by my slippage, we stepped on the spears again and started running in the direction pointed by the guide's staff. Because this time we determined that the target was not far away from us, we did not dare to fly for half an hour at a stretch like before. Instead, we stopped and did another test after flying for ten minutes. However, this time the calculation found that the target seemed The position has moved again, because the pointing has once again shifted to the left by an angle of more than ten degrees.

When the Son of the Night saw that the direction had changed again, he immediately dodged onto the back of his spear and prepared to continue flying. However, I shouted out before he could let the spear fly. "Don't use the spear. The target is not far away. Let's just go there."

Peacock Pluto and Yinxue, who were about to climb onto the spear after hearing my words, also jumped down quickly. After taking back the spear, we converted to steel claws to replace the spear. I didn't use a long gun because it was too fast. I was worried about accidentally flying over my head, but I didn't plan to walk over. Although the steel claws are not very fast, they are much faster than walking, so we all changed to steel claws this time.

Facts have proved that my decision was very wise, because just after I put on the steel claws and ran for less than five minutes, the blocked sight in front of me suddenly became clear. Although there are many places in the eighteen levels of hell that are covered by this kind of purple fog that blocks the sight, it is not like this in every place. For example, in those in the eighteen levels of hell There is generally no fog in places where creatures gather.

We had only been running for five minutes when the fog in front suddenly disappeared, apparently allowing us to rush out of the fog area. And almost the moment we left the foggy area, our target also appeared in our sights.

"I saw her." Peacock Pluto has the best eyes, and he spotted the target from a long distance. The rest of us only saw a large group of people fighting in the distance.

That’s right, not one person, but a whole bunch of people. Although in terms of total area, the Eighteen Levels of Hell is a vast and extremely sparsely populated area, but because most of the Eighteen Levels of Hell are desolate plains covered in purple mist , so areas that are actually inhabited by living creatures are quite densely populated, so it is not too strange to see a large group of people arriving at the same time. only……

"What are they doing?" Although the distance was still relatively far, I still found that the position of the group of people was not right.

"They seem to be attacking the demon." The Son of the Night said while looking through a telescope.

Yinxue turned to look at me and asked, "What should we do now?"

In fact, there are only two options we can decide now: 1. Rush over immediately and join the melee; 2. Wait for the outcome between the demon and the local residents to come.

Originally, if we were in other places, rushing over to watch the excitement would actually be a good idea, but this is the eighteenth level of hell, and the life forms here are quite special. If we rush over now, there is a high chance that those people will be killed. We are surrounded as enemies, so if you don't want to get involved, the best way is to simply stay away.

I looked at the people who were fighting and thought for a long time, and finally said: "We'd better go there now."

"Haha, there's a fight now." Peacock Pluto, a violent man, immediately became excited when he heard that it was over, but Yinxue had another reaction.

"Why go there now?"

"It would be good to reap the benefits, but this is the eighteenth level of hell. There is no such thing as reaping the benefits. In other places, it is applicable to the snipe and the clam to compete with each other, but it is different here."

"What's the difference?"

"This environment involves the eighteen levels of hell. You said before that the energy flow here is completely dead, and there is no energy transferred in space at all. But you actually don't know that there is actually energy flow here. , it’s just not the free energy in space, but the soul energy between living things. This entire eighteen levels of hell is like a huge insect voodoo. Every time you kill a living thing here, the energy in the other person’s body will be almost Flows into your body in a lossless way. So..."

"So if the demon kills all the people there, she will absorb the energy of everyone there and become a stronger being?" Yinxue directly continued what I had not finished.

I nodded and confirmed her guess, and then said: "So we don't have to think about profiting from the situation. It will only make our enemy stronger."

"In that case, there's no need to wait, let's rush." ​​Yinxue also understood now that waiting any longer will not benefit us, but will only make us more passive.

When we collectively rushed towards the area where the demon and the native creatures were fighting, the demon also noticed us, so after seeing us, she tried desperately to run away, just because there were people everywhere trying to kill her. There was really no way she could escape.

In fact, when this monster first arrived here, it was only in the form of a head, and it was also very missing. The teleportation that finally escaped our attack was actually not without cost. For this reason, she lost nearly one-third of the volume of the incomplete head that was left at that time. Such a big sacrifice sent her directly to the eighteenth level of hell.

When she first arrived here, the demon was 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, while she was confused about all the external environment because she had never left Qixiongzhong. However, her confusion was quickly replaced by fear, because less than ten minutes after she appeared here, a large group of creatures rushed to where she was and tried to eat her.

The creatures in the eighteenth level of hell attack each other to absorb energy, and this demon is made entirely of soul gold. It is simply a ball of concentrated energy. In a place like this, a ball of super concentrated energy is so tempting. Something that confuses people? So, those excited native creatures swarmed up, trying to grab this huge energy ball. However, their ideas not only failed to satisfy them, but actually harmed themselves.

Although the demon's soul gold body has been destroyed by us in the battle, the highly concentrated nature of the soul gold is still there. Those who first discovered her were little people with little strength. Not only did they fail to absorb the energy from the demon, but they were reversely absorbed the moment the energy channel was established. It's like tying an object to a rope and then pulling on the rope. If the person pulling the rope is heavier than the thing being tied, he can naturally pull the thing to him. But if the thing is heavier than the person pulling the rope, then the strength of the person is not considered. Question, he must have pulled himself to that object in the end. Such was the case with this demon and the native creatures that wanted to suck her. The energy channel established by those native creatures and her was the rope, but because the energy density of this demon was too high, those who wanted to absorb her not only failed to absorb her, but instead pulled themselves into her body. It was absorbed by her.

The demon who thought he was going to die this time did not expect to gain a lot of power inexplicably. Not only did he regenerate his body, but the violent phenomenon he had experienced during the battle also seemed to have stopped, and his sanity returned to him. in her mind.

Because she had the ability to think, the little demon princess began to use her brain. As human beings, the most powerful thing is not our body, but our wisdom. After summarizing the previous situation, the little demon princess with the ability to think immediately realized that she should find more such creatures to absorb in order to greatly improve her own strength. Although she had just regenerated her body, this body was actually incomparable to her previous body. Before, her body was made entirely of soul gold. Not only did she have outstanding resistance to blows, but she also had a bunch of special attributes. At critical moments, she could even release energy directly by burning her body. In comparison, the current body is much worse. Although the regenerated limbs have most of the biological functions, after all, they are just simple weapons instead of soul gold. They are obviously weak in terms of defense and various attributes. Compared to her previous body, and because the soul gold in her head, which was originally only a small piece, was evenly diluted into this body, her demonic power has also dropped a lot. But even if she knew before that average soul gold would reduce the demonic 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 spirit body. We can completely imagine her as a ghost. The reason why she has a physical body is because the soul power in her body has been excessively condensed to form soul gold, a product of energy materialization. After most of her body was aborted, the remaining part of her head became her entire body, and the regenerated limbs were actually just empty shells, and if she wanted to manipulate this With an empty body, you must attach your soul to it like other ghosts. And what is the soul of the little demon princess? Her soul is the soul gold body, so if she wants to attach to the newly created body, she must break down her body with only a piece of head left and reconstruct it into a human form and attach it to the new body, so that the body can be considered a real The body of the little demon princess.

Although this method of diluting and dispersing the soul gold allowed the little demon princess to obtain a new body, she had to admit that her defense and various combat attributes were indeed greatly reduced as a result. However, although she felt her strength declining, she didn't care too much because she had found a way to make herself strong again.

Otherwise, why would Heaven be so anxious to destroy this monster? This girl has only been in the eighteenth level of hell for ten minutes and has already started planning to "eat" all the creatures here. If she really does this, when she returns to the human world, she will not only be worse than when she escaped before Weak, maybe even stronger. Of course, executing this plan will take time, and it cannot be completed once it is completed. When we found this person, she was executing her plan.

Although the body of soul gold has been diluted and dispersed into the new body, soul gold is soul gold. For the beings in the eighteenth level of hell, the temptation of this kind of thing is basically irresistible. So under the active temptation of the little demon princess, she was soon chased by a small group of guys who tried to "eat" her. After gathering these people, the little demon princess would lead these guys to the edge of the no-man's land, then "eat" them all, and then go back to those gathering areas to lure a bunch of people out again.

Probably because this method was so easy to use, the little demon princess couldn't control the pleasure of devouring it, so she accidentally attracted a little more this time, and so many local creatures appeared to besiege the demon as we saw. The situation of the little princess. Fortunately, I know that the laws here are similar to the nature of insect poison. Otherwise, if she were to slowly kill all these guys and then absorb them, her strength would definitely increase dramatically.

After seeing us appear, the little demon princess herself was startled. Peacock Pluto had not participated in the strangulation battle against her before, so she did not know what kind of strength Peacock Pluto was. As for the Son of the Night, because his energy response was too low, he was ignored by others. However, although the little demon princess did not know Peacock Pluto and the Son of the Night, she did recognize Yinxue and me, especially me. On the previous battlefield, although it was through the auxiliary abilities provided by the great gods of the gods that I was promoted to such a powerful level, no matter what, I was the only one who kept suppressing her and beating her from the beginning. So, if you ask this little demon princess who she is most afraid of in this world, she will definitely think of me first.

On the battlefield before, the little demon princess with a complete body of soul gold was beaten so badly by me. Now that her body is like this, how can she not be afraid when she sees me? Although my current strength cannot be compared with my ability after inheriting the attributes of so many great gods on the battlefield, the little demon princess doesn't know this. Anyway, she remembers being beaten badly by me, so now when I see her, the only thing I can think of is to run away.

Although we were not close to the battle group, after discovering the target, we retracted our steel claws and flew there by ourselves. Although Nightborne 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 and I flew to the outskirts of the battle group in almost thirty seconds. As soon as he landed, Yinxue looked at me and asked, "Which side should I hit first?"

"Get rid of those guys outside first. It's better to be absorbed by us than by her."

"Good idea." After Yinxue said that, he suddenly stretched out his hand, and a white beam of light flashed through the crowd like a laser, and the entire area on the right side of the battle group suddenly collapsed as if it had been bitten by someone. A large crowd.

Although these guys imprisoned in the Eighteenth Level of Hell were all powerful beings at first, after being imprisoned in the energy-barren area of ​​the Eighteenth Level of Hell for so many years, even if they were superpowers with powerful powers at the beginning, their energy is now also limited. It should be almost consumed. Therefore, the current strength of these powerful people is actually very low. In terms of combat skills and theory of skills, these guys are definitely at the master level, and any one of them can start a sect, but no matter how strong their theoretical knowledge is, it will be in vain if they don't have the energy to support them. Yinxue's energy ray can be said to be an ordinary skill without any fancy. It only hurts people with energy. However, the most lacking thing in this place is energy, so those who are attacked are almost powerless to resist. A large area was knocked down.

At the same time as Yinxue took action, Peacock Pluto also moved. However, it is not the same as Yinxue's efficiency. Although Peacock Pluto's colorful divine light also sweeps away a large area, due to the short distance, the killing efficiency is not as exaggerated as Yinxue. Of course, compared to them, I am probably the least efficient person. Because I just use ordinary chopping, although dealing with these guys is like chopping melons and vegetables, after all, the speed is incomparable with others.

Under our strong attack, those who besieged the little demon princess were all wiped out in the blink of an eye. Apart from the corpses on the ground, only the three of us were left standing, and the Son of the Night was just at this time. Just arrived at the battlefield.

"Eh? Didn't you say that the monster was very powerful? How could you solve it so easily?" Seeing the corpses lying on the ground at the scene, Ye Zhizi thought we had also killed the monster.

"No, we just cleaned up those people who were in the way first." I explained to the Night Child.

Unexpectedly, after listening to my explanation, Ye Zhizi not only didn't understand, but asked me in confusion: "Since you didn't kill her, what about her?"

"Damn it, when did she learn to escape?" I said in surprise as I looked at the empty battlefield.

Yinxue corrected me: "She was good at running away. Don't you remember that she kept running right after she came out of Qixiongzhong? Later, when she arrived at the Russian camp, she stopped running because she entered a state of madness."

"Then now that she knows how to escape, doesn't that mean she has regained her sanity?"

"should be."

"Why did she run away when she saw us? It turns out she has regained her senses. But this is good, maybe we can scare her just like this." Although we know that after the monster regains its senses, we can no longer bully her and have no brains. But on the other hand, thinking about it, now that she has regained her senses, she will definitely be very jealous of me, and I can just use this to deter her, maybe I can make her surrender without hitting her. However, no matter how we deal with the demon in the future, it is only proper to catch up with her first.

With the Guiding Staff, we don't have to worry about losing the target at all. This thing is a super position tracker, and it will be useless no matter how you run. Due to transportation problems, it only took us less than a minute to find the escaped demon princess. At this time, she was running desperately to a nearby gathering point because she knew there were many people there and she could easily blend in. Which makes us lose our purpose. Of course, we can also launch an indiscriminate coverage attack, but the counterattack of local creatures will delay us to some extent, so no matter what method we use, it will be beneficial to the monster in the gathering point. It's just that she obviously didn't take our speed into consideration, so she was caught up by us after running a short distance. The gathering point in the distance was just a shadow at this time. She couldn't hope to run away from this distance. past.

"Where are you planning to go?" Riding on Ye Ying's back, I was the fastest. I went directly in front of the demon to block her, and then deliberately asked in a joking tone while riding on Ye Ying's back. .
