Chapter 408 Tight Checkpoints

The Demon Casting Mine was once one of the most important military facilities of the Demon King Theraton. Just a few months ago, two entire demon legions and hundreds of powerful hellfires were stationed here, but now it has There was just a big hole left - nothing left.

Hao Ren was quite shocked when he looked at the huge pit in front of him. This was a place directly transformed from a large crater. The bottom of the pit was covered with dark brown evil energy ore mixed with dirty green light. It could be seen everywhere on the walls of the pit. To the huge cracks and caves that reach deep underground, raging evil flames spurt out from these cracks, making the entire evil mine look as terrifying as a large fire pit that has not been extinguished.

However, this place has been severely damaged, and you can see only ruined walls and even only a base of demonic facilities left everywhere. There are only some invisible black iron supports left on the walls of the mine, and at the bottom of the mine there is only a cluster of magic iron tips that look like a dense forest: those things were originally part of the magic casting facility, used to fix the unactivated magic iron. Hellfire giants may be used to suppress powerful hostile demons. They were once tens of meters or even hundreds of meters high, but now there is only a neat stubble less than two or three meters high. The cross-section of this magical iron jungle is so flat that it looks like it has been cut by a knife.

No other fragments of the destroyed buildings could be seen anywhere in the mine. Only some of their bases remained, as if the upper parts had disappeared out of thin air.

"When the 'goddess' took the king away, she was intercepted by other demons, but she didn't take action at all. All the demons and buildings in the mine disappeared out of thin air." La Nina still felt incredible when talking about what happened that day, " It really disappeared out of thin air, there was no process at all, it directly turned into what you see in front of you."

"It has been deleted." The data terminal professionally checked the traces left on the scene. "Just like you smashed a file in the computer, Lord Tavel should have deleted the enemies in the Demon Casting Mine. This is really consistent. Her acting style - I heard that Master Tavel is the best researcher in the empire. She advocates efficiency and doesn't like to get entangled with others in battle. She will solve any problem as soon as possible."

Hao Ren swallowed his saliva and said to himself that it was lucky that he was in the same family as those crazy gods. The statement that the deputy section chief and above did not read the Galaxy in seconds was probably not an exaggeration...

Everyone carefully entered the crater along a cast-iron path on the edge of the Cast Demon Mine, always on guard against encountering the remaining demon guards here. Although the spacecraft used radar to confirm that there was no demon reaction in the mine before landing, creatures like demons It is really full of strange things, not only the physiological structure is exquisite, but there are also things like Hellfire that can hardly be classified as living things, so everyone does not dare to act in it with too much confidence.

However, the group of people walked for a long time without encountering any demons. There was a dead silence in the Demon Casting Mine, only the "whooshing" sound of the evil flames gushing out of the ground could be heard from time to time. It seems that the demon king named Theraton has abandoned this mine where strange events have occurred - maybe he has sent people to investigate this place, but obviously you are just looking for tens of thousands of unscientific experts who have filmed it. Even the professor couldn't explain the problem of an entire "factory" disappearing out of thin air.

But Hao Ren always felt something was wrong: "Why is there really no one here?"

"Why do you still expect to suddenly encounter a wave of patrols?" Vivian turned her head and glanced at him, "This is a devil's land. If you are exposed, you will be directly surrounded by the legion, and you don't know how you will die. "

Hao Ren frowned: "That's not what I mean... I mean that guy named Serraton really gave up this place? Even if such a large piece of foundation is ruined by others... he should at least organize it. A long-term investigation team has been hanging around here for a year and a half before it can live up to its professional ethics, right? Why is there not even a shadow of a devil? Is it because you don't want to have it at all or what?"

"It's really not right." La Nina felt that what Hao Ren said made sense. She bent down and picked up a strange stone with a green light. This stone was something that could be seen everywhere at the bottom of the mine. It had a metallic texture. The green light seemed to be calcined by the evil flames spewing out from the ground. "This is evil ore, the most commonly used thing when making hellfire giants. Although the magic-casting equipment in this mine has been destroyed, the mine is still intact." The field itself is still there and there’s no reason why Thurraton shouldn’t rebuild the place.”

La Nina had previously suggested crossing the Demon-Forging Mine because the radar of the Giant Turtle Rock Platform showed that there were no demons in it, but even so, she couldn't believe that Theraton had really given up on this place completely. Until now, look When she arrived at the deserted mine site, she was sure that there was really no demon left here.

"What kind of person is that Theraton...er, what kind of demon?" Hao Ren asked curiously.

La Nina nodded: "A bit uglier than Wang's demon form."

Everyone around him was stunned. Hao Ren looked at La Nina in surprise, wondering if this succubus lady always recognizes people based on how ugly they are...

"Ahem, apart from that, Theraton is also the second most powerful demon king among the ten demon planes." La Nina quickly added the next few sentences, "He was once our strongest and most stubborn enemy, and was the leader of all opponents The most difficult of our demons. He is a reptilian lord of the abyss, with thirty-three legions under his command, fighting with poisonous fire, curses and brute force. The place we are in now is Theraton The demonic plane, the entire space is his territory, also known as the third plane.”

Yzaks interjected: "By the way, I occupied the seventh plane back then. There are many demonic spaces, but only ten of them are stable. They float in the space bubble area, interacting with each other. The portals are connected, and those who occupy these ten demon planes are ten demon kings. The power of the seventh plane back then was almost the sum of the other planes."

Yzaks was obviously a little proud at the end. It was obvious that he was still quite conceited about the foundation he had built back then. And Lily asked curiously: "Why is it that whoever is the boss is not ranked high, but your territory is only ranked seventh?"

Yzaks shrugged: "This ranking is in no particular order. The place names of my hometown are natural - Confucius has become a saint, isn't he still the second child?"

Hao Ren lost his footing and almost fell into the green-fired mine: "Do you know Confucius?"

"All I have to do is read books and newspapers all day long," Yzaks spread his hands, "I just finished studying Greek philosophy two days ago."

Lily immediately stuck out her tongue and shrank back from Hao Ren: "Stop studying philosophy. With your body type, studying philosophy is prone to problems..."

Hao Ren looked at Lily with a very awkward look. He couldn't imagine what this bitch who called herself a literary girl was usually reading...

No matter where Theraton's demon guards went, in short, the group did not encounter any obstacles in the Demon Casting Mine. They passed through this large abandoned and scorching wasteland without any danger, and came from the mine to the other side. The ramp at one end returned to the surface, and the huge and magnificent demon portal finally appeared in front of everyone.

I saw a large platform built with huge obsidian slabs on the open ground hundreds of meters ahead. Two huge black stone pillars stood on both sides of the platform. The stone pillars were carved with hideous demonic images, and in the middle of the two stone pillars. It is a twisted, whirlpool-shaped space.

From the swirling twisted portal, you can vaguely see a patch of red, which obviously leads to another demonic plane.

Near the portal, Hao Ren finally saw the regular demon army: a large group of terrifying demon guards wearing black armor were guarding the portal's pedestal and nearby sentries. Their skin color was dark red and they had long hair on their heads. With curved goat horns and holding flaming hell swords in their hands, each demon is over three meters tall. The size alone and the terrifying weapons in their hands make people wonder how many human soldiers are needed to fight such a demon.

These demon guards set up a tight defense line near the portal, which dispelled Hao Ren's previous doubts: He thought that Lord Theraton, who ruled this plane, had taken advantage of the past two months to follow the trend of history and perished in time. Now it seems Everything is normal with their legions, but for some unknown reason they haven't sent anyone to take care of the Demon Casting Mine for the time being.

Now there was a question before Hao Ren: How to pass through the portal under the noses of so many demon guards?
