Chapter 17: The Cliffs of Bothgen

The Bowegan Cliff, the bottomless abyss that everyone talked about in the past, was shrouded in black fog all year round after the "Dusk God War" thousands of years ago, and became a paradise for the dead.

Within about 20,000 meters near the cliff, undead and zombies were wandering around, and there was no trace of the breath of a living person.

Ordinary people approaching this place are purely looking for death, and only those adventurers who have mastered the ability to fight, and if they are the best among them, dare to set foot on this land.

The final destination of the adventurers is most likely the palace of the dead at a depth of about 3,000 meters under the Bowegan Cliff.

The Palace of the Dead existed long before the "Twilight Divine War", and is said to be the property of an ancient demon king, the Lord of the Dead Hell.

Historical information about the Lord of the Dead Prison is very scarce, except that he sits on a special plane, a powerful god who controls an entire world. And the biggest reason why it is powerful is because he has an artifact - the Palace of the Dead.

Legend has it that when the Lord of the Dead Prison fell in antiquity, all his treasures were left in the Palace of the Dead, and anyone who could reach the bottom of the palace could obtain all the treasures.

There are two other theories.

The first is that the Lord of the Death Prison is not dead, but is sealed. It is sealed in a corner of the Death Palace, and if the adventurer covets the treasures in the Death Palace to explore, and is unlucky enough to touch the seal and release the Lord of the Death Prison, then not only will his life be guaranteed, but he will also become a sinner in the world.

The second is that the Lord of the Dead Prison is indeed dead, but all its power, including the method of controlling the Palace of the Dead, can be found in the depths of the palace, and whoever can become the lucky one can get all the power of the Demon King and the artifact of the Palace of Death.

In short, no matter which of the above statements is true, adventurers from all over the world are eager to enter the palace of the dead and try their luck.

In fact, there are indeed many adventurers with good strength, one by one, they form a team, pass through the territory of the dead that is 10,000 meters long, and climb down the Botegen cliff to enter the palace of death. After some exploration, you can really get all kinds of benefits from the Death Palace.

Interests always drive people's hearts, and there are really benefits to be dug in the palace of death, so people who are confident in themselves will come to take risks in an endless stream. Although they remain in the palace of death forever, the majority of them will never go back.

Locke is a young warrior who has confidence in himself, or has to raise his confidence, and comes to prepare to explore the Dead Palace.

He was poor, so poor that he couldn't even find a companion, and no one wanted to team up with a man who couldn't even afford leather armor.

He was so poor, so poor that even his old mother was seriously ill and dying, and he couldn't afford the most basic treatment medicine.

So he had to take a risk.

Instead of taking risks with other things, it is better to come to a more dangerous and rewarding place, so Locke chose the Bethegan Cliff and chose the Dead Palace.

Of course, the biggest reason is that it is relatively close to his village.

This also illustrates his poverty in disguise.

No one wants to live close to the territory of the deceased, unless they have no choice.

"Mother, you must wait for me to go back! I will bring back treasures that can be exchanged for enough money to cure your illness!"

Locke tightened his grip on the long sword his old father had left him, his eyes full of determination, and he walked away step by step in this dark land.

Click!

At one point, he didn't hold his feet, stepped on a branch, and made a crisp sound.

This attracted the nearby zombie monsters, which were two half-orc zombies, their intelligence was quite low, they opened their mouths and roared unconsciously, and their saliva flowed directly to Locke's place.

"Annoying stuff!"

Locke did not retreat, if he had to retreat in the face of such a dead thing, then how could he talk about entering the palace of death?

So instead, he took two steps forward, grasped the hilt of the long sword with both hands, and began to exert force from his shoulder, and the power was instantly transmitted to the long sword along the strong muscles.

Burst!

With a single slash, Locke managed to cut off the head of one of the zombies.

Boom!

He then kicked the remaining zombie away, knocking it to the ground.

He didn't take the opportunity to kill the second one, but took the opportunity to run away quickly.

There are dead things in this vicinity, and you can't kill them all, so it's better to save your strength, find the exact location of the cliff as soon as possible, and then climb down to find the dead palace.

"Huh, what's that red?"

After several sudden battles, Locke had come to a very close place where the cliff was. At this time, he noticed that not far in front of him, a dazzling crimson light suddenly appeared.

"Have I found the Dead Palace?"

Locke came to the Dead Palace for the first time, and he hadn't inquired before coming, so he didn't know the specific characteristics of the Dead Palace.

The undead zombies and other monsters he encountered along the way, if there were soul species exposed, they were all gray-white and light green, so when he suddenly saw crimson, he thought that he had not encountered a dead thing, but had found a dead palace.

Of course, he was wrong, very wrong.

However, the surrounding area was all shrouded in fog, and he couldn't be blamed.

Locke continued to walk, and the red light seemed to move in his vision, and it was coming towards him.

Click, click, click......

As the two sides approached, Locke began to hear a sound that he was familiar with, it belonged to the skeleton, and he had killed several skeletons before.

"That's!?"

Finally, Locke saw who was coming.

It was indeed a humanoid skeleton, but the light in its eye sockets was so special that it was a dazzling crimson. What's more, there is a ghost of a beautiful girl floating next to the skeleton.

"No! that's not something I can provoke, I have to take a detour!"

Locke instinctively sensed great danger, and he didn't dare to get any closer to the other party, so he immediately stopped, and then turned around, trying to avoid the skeleton and the girl ghost in front of him.

He did it.

The other party didn't seem to notice him, and still walked in a straight line without changing direction, while Locke smoothly bypassed the other party and continued to move forward. He had a hunch, and he was about to find the cliff.

Unfortunately, it won't be long before he discovers a brutal truth.

The house of death is gone!

To be precise, it was taken away.

Who could take away this artifact that had existed at the bottom of the cliff for countless years? Naturally, it was Zhou Chen.

"Master, that human just now is looking for the palace. ”

Youyi followed Zhou Chen quietly, floating in mid-air, and his whole body emitted a faint white light.

"Leave him alone. ”

Zhou Chen spent sixty years to completely refine the Death Palace with the "Yin and Yang Sacrifice Treasure Formula", and this treasure could naturally be reduced countless times according to his wishes, turning into extremely fine particles and included in his soul seed.

The Death Palace straddles the two realms, and the middle is through the spatial level. It starts from the 100th floor and goes up to the 199th floor, and it emerges from the Hellside Realm in the human world, that is, at the bottom of the Bethgen Cliff.

After putting away the Death Palace, the passage between the two realms maintained by the Death Palace was also closed, and it would be difficult for Zhou Chen to go back to the Death Prison Realm, but he was not ready to go back.

Now, he was about to step out of the Beetgen Cliff and truly step into the human world.
