Chapter 0334: Demon Origin
Renard looked under the crack, and saw nothing in the black hole, but his eyes hurt from the sulfur.
He thought about it, but finally gave up on using the flotation scroll, and instead nailed two pegs to the ground, tied the rope and went down.
Less than ten meters after the descent was barely audible, a terrifying roar could be faintly heard below.
Renard's heart trembled a little, and his hand holding the rock wall couldn't help but tighten tighter.
He adjusted his mind and continued to climb down the uneven rocks.
After descending thirty meters, Renard noticed that there were more traces of artificial excavation on the rock face, and if it was expected, this was the demon's preparation to break through the crack.
After about six or seven minutes, according to the marking of the rope, he was now fifty meters below the mouth of the crack.
If you count the height difference between the collapse pit and the surface, it is now more than three hundred meters underground, and it is only a few meters to more than ten meters away from the underground world where the demon lives.
At this moment, the demon's roar could be clearly heard, and the voice was full of negative emotions, which made people's bodies tremble.
Renard gritted his teeth and went eight or nine meters deep again, and then appeared at the dome of the underground world.
As far as the eye could see, the light in the underworld was not very bright, and I could barely see something clearly.
When he noticed the scene in front of him, his pupils suddenly constricted.
I saw dozens of huge stone pillars rising from the ground, directly connected to the location of the cracks in the dome, and countless little devils were lying on the stone pillars, constantly tapping the stone with steel forks, obviously digging a plank road.
Below, countless demons were gathered, covering the ground of the entire underground world, and he took a rough look at it, not to mention millions of them.
Renard finally realized that all the soil of the original surface world had been used to build these giant stone pillars.
How big is this underworld? How many demons live here? How did they come about?
Three questions kept wandering in Lei Ye's mind, building such a huge underground world must not be done overnight, is it ......
As if remembering something terrible, Renard no longer hesitated and began to climb up the rope.
When he returned to the ground, it was as if a big stone had been pressed against him, leaving him a little breathless.
As soon as Lei Ye came up, Arka and the others gathered around and asked, "Young Master, how is the situation?"
Renard shook his head and replied, "It's not good. ”
With that, he walked straight towards the edge of the collapse pit, he now had more important things to do, and he couldn't delay for a moment.
Three hours later, Renard returned to the City of Plenty, and before he even had time to change his clothes, he rushed directly into the study of the Lord's Palace, rummaging frantically.
Seeing this, Serena was a little confused, and asked, "Young Master, what are you looking for?"
Reynard said in a hurry, "Information about demons, all information about demons. ”
Hearing this, Serena stepped forward, pointed to the bookcase on the far left, and said, "I've already compiled the information about demons into that bookcase, I think you might use it." ”
When Renard heard this, his face showed joy, and he kissed the other party twice on the face: "Serena is really worthy of being my virtuous helper. ”
After saying that, ignoring Serena, who was blushing, he rushed straight towards the bookcase.
Immediately after that, I began to rummage through them one by one.
After about ten minutes, Renard finally found the "Demon Origins" he was looking for in the stacks of books.
He hurriedly opened it and looked through: "Demons originated in the abyss world, and first appeared two thousand three hundred years ago......"
Renard quickly flipped back and found the date of each calamity: "Two hundred and twenty-eight years of the Saint-Phila dynasty, four hundred and thirty-six years of the Saint-Phila dynasty, six hundred and twenty-four years of the saint-Phila dynasty......
Lei Ye wrote down the date, and then checked the comparison table of the mainland Gregorian calendar, and made an astonishing discovery, the time for each demon disaster is getting shorter and shorter, and now the demon disaster occurs every thirty or forty years.
He calculated the time, and this year was exactly thirty years after the last demonic plague broke out.
What does this mean?
Could it be that the demons have long taken root in this world, they have always lived in the underground world, constantly accumulating strength, coming out every once in a while to probe the strength of the human race, and then breaking out of the surface in their weakest period and occupying the entire northern continent.
Renard's head was buzzing, and if it was true, it would be terrible.
Now is the period when the human race in the northern continent is the weakest, and the entire continent was under the rule of one or several huge forces before, and the power was concentrated, similar to the Tang Empire.
But now it is more like the period of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the failure of the Holy See's crusade, the strength of the Great Loss of strength, the division of the Allerhoz dynasty into more than a dozen countries, the Empire of Constantinople and the Morton Empire are constantly in dispute, and the Albians set their sights on opening up a new world.
What would happen if the demon appeared at this time?
Renard couldn't help but shudder, he hoped his guess was false, but he knew he was eight points sure it was true.
At this time, Lei Ye was suddenly at a loss, is his current efforts really useful?
Is there really any hope for victory for humanity in the face of demons that have accumulated power for thousands of years?
What can I do? Can I turn the tide?
Just as Renard was asking himself, Heidi came to him with a big belly, and now the other party was only three months pregnant, but she was very pregnant.
Everyone speculated that it could be twins or multiple births.
Heidi looked at his frowning brow and couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?
She rarely saw her husband show such a sad look, and it was estimated that she had encountered a big problem.
Renard suddenly came to his senses, looked at his wife, with a bitter smile on his face, he got up and touched the other party's belly, which was round and bulging, very tactile.
After a while, Lei Ye suddenly asked, "Heidi, can I ask you a question?"
Heidi looked up in surprise and said, "You ask." ”
Reynard gathered his thoughts and said, "What are you going to do if we can't resist this catastrophe?"
Heidi was a little frightened when asked, "Can't resist this catastrophe? Why? Why do you say that?"
Reynard looked at her slightly agitated emotion, and hurriedly comforted: "I'm just asking casually, I have to prepare for the worst first." ”
In the past, Heidi would definitely say that she would live and die with the people, but after she became pregnant, her mood changed, and she just wanted to watch her child grow up healthy and happy, and her sense of responsibility for the people was all transferred to the child.
After being silent for a long time, Heidi shook her head, leaned her head on Lei Ye's shoulder, and said, "I don't know, I listen to you all." ”
The pregnant woman is the most vulnerable, and she doesn't want to think about these frightening questions at all right now.
