Chapter Twenty-Six: The Giant Corpse
The stretching mountains in the distance are like a sleeping dragon lying in the direction that Li Jie and the others need to move forward. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Originally, everyone only thought that the strange shape of these mountains was formed because of the special geographical conditions of hell.
But when everyone headed in this direction and was ready to climb through this mountain range, they realized that this place was not as simple as everyone imagined.
The first to notice the problem was Damon. The Iron Guardian mechs he controls serve as scouting patrols.
Outside the first layer of the reconnaissance circle fifty kilometers away from everyone, the monitor of the Steel Guardian transmitted the detected footage back to Damon as soon as possible.
"Guys, there may be something wrong with the route ahead of us. Damon looked at the picture displayed on his monitor and said with some surprise.
The second one to feel was the Stainless Steel Wolf, whose strong sense of smell had already smelled a strong smell of blood. Even if it is tens of kilometers away, even no one else can smell it.
The smell of Logan, the steel wolf, made him feel like he was walking in a bloody slaughterhouse.
"There was a very strong smell of blood in the air, and the more you walked in this direction, the more obvious it felt. Logan also offered his feelings.
"Well, what did you see Damon. Li Jie stopped and asked Damon. He didn't want to step into a dangerous area for no apparent reason.
"A corpse, to be honest I thought it was a mountain range. Until one mech stretches high enough for me to get a glimpse of the full picture. Frank said as he passed on the images he had received to the others.
A huge black corpse like a mountain was lying on the ground.
Without accurate calculations, just relying on visual inspection, this huge corpse may be tens of kilometers long.
And the width is also more than ten kilometers, and the image transmitted back is a little affected by the fluctuations of hellish energy, with some blurry.
However, it is still possible to make out that the corpse is the image of a mythical dragon.
"Are you sure this is a corpse and not sleeping?" Li Jie felt his face twitch slightly.
"Maybe there's still a treasure under its body. Tony Stark chuckled dryly.
"Can we take a detour. Whether it's dead or alive, I don't really want to pass by such a behemoth. Li Jie asked Johnny.
"I'm afraid not, I'll be able to read some of the memories of the Vengeful Spirit. But there's no way to read it all. Johnny shook his head.
"If I took a detour, I wasn't sure I would find another way to get where we were going. ”
Li Jie felt that he had a toothache, and the people around him also focused their eyes on Li Jie, waiting for him to make a decision.
"Can you be sure that thing is really dead?" Li Jie repeatedly confirmed to Damon.
After repeatedly getting a positive answer, Li Jie finally decided to move in this direction. But everyone needs to be prepared.
Of course, this precaution does not mean a head-to-head encounter with a monster of this size, but a slight mistake to run away from everyone.
The further you go in that direction, the more red soil there is on the ground. And the color has become more vivid red, instead of the lifeless dark red that I saw at first.
When Li Jie and his entourage came to the huge corpse with trepidation. Li Jie realized that the stretching mountains he looked at from afar after he first came to Hell was just an illusion.
The mountains he first thought were not mountains at all, but corpses. Because of some visual deception, he mistakenly thought that he was seeing a mountain range.
In fact, I should have thought that this desolate and boring hell, surrounded by open plains, is the only one that protrudes here, which is really strange.
The closer he got, the clearer he could see. A huge dragon claw hung dimly on the ground.
It was as if it had been broken by someone, and it twisted at a strange and unreasonable angle with the dragon's corpse. Li Jie told himself that it was very possible.
Originally, he thought that what was growing on the top of the mountain was the trees of hell, but now standing under this huge corpse that covered the sky and the sun, Li Jie could barely see clearly.
What he thought were trees turned out to be scales and flesh peeling off the dragon's back. What looked like the rubble and cliffs of the mountains from a distance were all its dark scales.
This dragon corpse covers the sky and the sun, and it must be an incomparably powerful existence before his death. And now dying here without dignity is not at all in line with its status.
"I didn't expect the first creature we saw in Hell was a corpse. It's a big thing. Tony Stark couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth.
"Do we need to dig through this thing?" Peter Parker hung from under Harry's sliding wings using spider silk.
"It seems so. I guess it certainly doesn't want us to do that. It doesn't look like it was such a friendly person when it was alive. Li Jie tried to make his tone appear more relaxed.
"It looks like it's been dead for a long time. Master Lan's face was a little solemn.
"But there was no sign of decomposition in the body. It is supposed to be a demon god in front of it. Only a divine body can be immortal for a long time. Such a powerful god has fallen, but we don't know anything about it. ”
Li Jie, who was piloting another glider to slowly climb in altitude and prepare to fly over the dragon's corpse, heard Lan's words.
"Are you sure this is a demon god?"
"Yes, although it is not identifiable. But at least a demon god at the level of a main god. There are not many existences of this level in the entire universe. Even in terms of strength alone, Mephitos is only a demon god at the main god level. Arashi nodded affirmatively.
"So what we're seeing now is a big man who is close to the gods and has fallen?" Tony Stark scanned the corpse with the equipment on his armor.
Hank, on the other hand, was held by a mecha and flew to the place where the corpse had been peeled open, holding various tools and preparing to begin sampling and analysis.
The mages themselves were able to rely on magic to walk through the air, and the others who couldn't fly were all held by the steel mechs, ready to fly straight over here. But no one wanted to put their feet on this huge corpse.
"Wait, there seems to be a sign of life somewhere. Damon has made a new discovery.
At the other end of the corpse, a group of green-skinned humanoids with horns and hooves were worshipping the dead corpse.
They seemed to have words in their minds, and the gale winds of hell sent their voices into Li Jie's ears.
Although he couldn't understand what they were saying, Li Jie could hear the sadness inside.
"They are worshipping, they are praying for the resurrection of the gods they believe in. Master Arashi glanced at the worshipping creature from a distance.
"Do you understand what they're saying?" Li Jie was a little curious.
"Traditional demonic language is also a must for Kamataki. Arashi didn't explain any more, just nodded.
At the same time that Li Jie discovered this group of strange creatures, the group of hellish creatures with human body horns and horse hooves also discovered Li Jie and his party. They yelled angrily at Li Jie and the others.
"What do you think they're talking about?" Li Jie glanced back at Lan.
"Anyway, it's not about us. ”
