Chapter 314
The terrain in Jiaozhou is rugged, with countless mountains and ridges.
Even in February and March, the heat is unstoppable.
However, now as long as you get a little closer to the border of Jiaozhou, you will feel endless cold and biting wind.
In the depths of the mountains, a gloomy fortress has risen from the ground at some point.
This is the temporary "base" established by the demons after they retreated from Tianmeng College.
Before that, the Scarlet Church had been operating here for a long time, and with the advantage of the terrain, it escaped the encirclement of the Tiemu Camp many times.
The fortress was surrounded by thick fog, and the icy cold was not much different from the northern region of Bali Continent, where the Snow Clan lived.
The huge obsidian was built into a city wall, with purple magic patterns flowing on it, exuding a weird breath.
"It's so cold!"
"Do the demons live in such a ghost place?"
"Damn! The temperature here was not so low when we came here to encircle and suppress last time!" Li Shan couldn't help but complain.
"Duan Zi, how did you get information in this environment?" Ma Zi looked at Duan Zixuan and Ye Shengge and felt incredible.
"Uh... the temperature was not so low before!" Duan Zixuan shuddered.
Chen Ping led thousands of people from Tianmeng College and appeared three or four kilometers outside the Demon Clan's nest.
Before deciding to ambush the Demon Clan's army, Chen Ping first asked Xiao Hei to explore the situation of the Demon Clan's nest, but because of the sudden drop in temperature, Xiao Hei, who was extremely uncomfortable with low temperatures, did not even get close, let alone find out anything.
However, in Chen Ping's view, there must be something wrong when things are abnormal. According to Duan Zixuan's description, the temperature here was not low before, and the sudden drop in temperature this time meant that there was a big problem.
Secondly, after the battle at Tianmeng College, not only was Tianmeng College severely damaged, but the losses of the Demon Clan were also not small. They organized a second attack so quickly and in such a hurry.
Combining the two things, Chen Ping felt that the Demon Clan was going to do something in this nest!
So, they created a false ambush at Dayan Mountain and arranged a large number of teleportation arrays around the ambush, with the teleportation target being the Demon Clan's lair in Jiaozhou.
"Xue Di, can you see any clues?" Chen Ping looked at Xue Di beside him.
"Could it be... the Demon Emperor summoned?" Xue Di muttered to herself.
"What does it mean?" Chen Ping asked.
"This should be a ritual to summon the Demon King... Since ancient times, there have been ten great apostles, who have extremely powerful powers. No one can restrain them except the awakened ones. In the contest between the awakened ones and the apostles, the apostles are also constantly cultivating their own power, and they have developed the apostles' agents, the demon gods!"
"At first there were thirty-six demon gods, and later it increased to seventy-two!"
"Relatively speaking, any one of the first thirty-six demon gods is enough to beat all the demon gods after the thirty-sixth place. This is a dividing line with an insurmountable gap."
"Among the first thirty-six demon gods, the first ten demon gods are the strongest. They were created by the first generation of ten great apostles, and they were created according to their own abilities. Since their creation, none of the first ten demon gods has died!"
"But the apostles have been replaced by countless generations!" As a former demon god and apostle, Xue Di naturally knows more.
"Good guy, the iron demon god, the changing apostles? It's a bit of a reversal of Tiangang!" Chen Ping said with a smile.
"Normally, the power of the demon god is impossible to exceed that of the apostle, but now... I can't tell!"
"The top ten demon gods are also honored as demon emperors, and the eleventh to thirty-sixth demon gods are also called demon kings. The ceremony in front of us should be to summon the tenth demon emperor!" Xue Di continued.
"Summoning the tenth demon emperor? No wonder!" Chen Ping guessed that something big must happen based on the actions of the demons. They were worried that Chen Ping and others would come to destroy it, so they asked Andos to go and contain them.
"Can this ceremony be stopped?"
"Yes, but it's a bit tricky!"
"As long as it can be stopped, the two demon gods are already making us exhausted. If there is another demon king in the top ten, we don't even need Blue Star!"
Chen Ping said immediately.
A small blue star is served by the three demon gods at the same time, and even the top ten demon kings have to be invited. This kind of treatment has only been seen in Bali Continent and Xingchen Continent!
"The temperature here is very low. After the humans, dark elves and succubi go in, they will have almost no fighting power and may even be frostbitten!"
"Let them guard outside, I will lead the Snow Clan to rush in!" Xue Di suggested.
"Okay! They stay outside to guard, I will go in with you!" Chen Ping nodded.
The gate of the fortress is like the mouth of a giant beast, more than a hundred feet high, with various hideous monster skulls inlaid on the door, and the empty eye sockets flashed with green light from time to time.
The Snow Emperor took the lead, raised one hand and destroyed the gate, and Chen Ping and the Snow Clan rushed in.
Inside the gate is a wide square, the ground is covered with black soil with a foul smell, and there are some white bones scattered in between, I don't know what kind of creature left it.
A large group of giant bats came to besiege them.
With the Snow Emperor charging at the front, they quickly killed a bloody path.
Around the square, twisted spires stand in a forest.
The tower leaned as if it would fall down at any moment. The top of the tower flashed with black lightning and crackled. Between the towers, some black-robed demons were wandering. Their figures were illusory and their faces were hidden under their hoods.
"Come out!"
Chen Ping's mind moved, and more than 2,000 gravity bodies suddenly appeared.
Most of the alien insects are afraid of cold, but the silver beetles are an exception. It's just that they have no combat power and are extremely fragile. Chen Ping was reluctant to let them enter the demon's nest to get information.
Chen Ping has only more than 3,000 silver beetles in his hands. Relatively speaking, the number is extremely scarce, and the silver body is also very conspicuous. It is difficult to blend into the demon's nest without being discovered, so they were not sent out before.
Now is the time when the silver beetles are really needed.
Under the control of the silver beetles, the 2,000 gravity bodies resist the attacks of the bats and the black-robed demons.
Xue Di and Chen Ping continued to lead the snow tribe and walked deeper.
In front of them was a magnificent demon palace.
The dome of the demon palace was painted with totems of various demons. Those demons were either baring their fangs and claws, or spewing flames, lifelike, as if they were about to break out of the top.
Inside the palace, there is a huge pool of blood, which is rolling and emitting a strong bloody smell. The cold air in the entire area is also emitted from here.
Around the blood pool, there is a circle of black crystals condensed by magic power. Electric arcs are jumping on the crystals, providing a continuous supply of magic power support for the entire magic palace.
At the end of the magic palace, there is a high throne carved from a whole piece of demon bone. On the throne sits the 65th demon god of the demon clan, the bloodthirsty bat, Andre.
