Chapter 8 Half a year
"In this world of the dead, there are a total of nineteen bone towers, and each bone tower has a passage underneath, and if you want to find the dead palace, you must pass through this passage, and I don't know what is on the other side. ”
After the general smashed the white bone throne with the big steel sword in his hand, revealing the black underground passage, he explained it himself without waiting for Zhou Chen to ask.
"Very well, let's go. ”
Zhou Chen said this, but did not leave immediately.
The general understood what he meant, and entered the passage first.
Zhou Chen followed, and motioned for the corpse wolf to join him.
Immediately after that, the lion, the fat rat, the snake woman, and the double-headed, all entered the passage.
Dada, click......
The footsteps of Zhou Chen and his entourage sounded chaotically and crisply in the dark passage, first through a steep slope that sloped downward, and then the terrain flattened and the environment changed.
It was no longer completely dark, but shrouded in a hazy glow.
Zhou Chen unfolded his soul observation and found that the width of the entire passage was only about ten feet, and the four sides of the upper and lower sides were not dirt, but all of them were made of countless white bones. In other words, the place where Zhou Chen stepped on every step was also uneven white bones.
"I've walked through this passage once before, and there will be a lot of trouble and danger along the way. ”
The general was still at the forefront, and at this time he gave a reminder.
Zhou Chen didn't take it to heart, but the lion snake girl became more cautious after hearing it.
Whoa!
Suddenly, after walking out for a while, the passage trembled, and from the place where the wreckage and white bones were piled up on all sides, a large number of broken bones were quickly separated, and in the blink of an eye, they were combined into a nondescript, four-legged white bone beast.
The size of the giant beast was very large, just covering the length and width of the entire passage, blocking the front of Zhou Chen and his party.
It is made up of a large number of broken bones and bones, so it has no soul species, and the reason why it can be "lived" is because of the special ghost light that shrouds the passage at all times.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The first time he saw the giant beast appear, the general who was walking in the front rushed over with an arrow step, waved the big steel sword in his hand, and slashed it more than ten times in an instant, dismembering the giant beast before it could react. In the end, he used the steel sword as a blunt weapon to slam all the bones of the giant beast into powder.
"The enemy will only get stronger along the way, and we will have to unite to deal with it later. ”
The general dealt with the giant beast alone, and it seemed very relaxed, but it reminded Zhou Chen and the others again.
......
Half.
At the speed of ordinary walking, Zhou Chen and his party walked in the passage for about half a year.
There is no alternation of sun and moon in the Death Prison Realm, and it is even more impossible to distinguish day and night in this passage where the four walls are full of bones. Zhou Chen was completely because the soul realm was high enough, and he could only get this time after intentional calculation.
This passage is too long, as if there is no end, and there is still no change after half a year.
There are many strange enemies along the way, in addition to corpses of different shapes, as well as bugs, slime monsters, and so on that you have never seen before entering the passage.
These enemies that appear are getting stronger and stronger, and at first they can be solved by just one of them, but later they become a joint enemy. At the beginning, it can be solved with three or two plays, and then the hole cards are exhausted.
During this period, Zhou Chen saw the generals and their respective abilities.
The lion can open its mouth to spew purple flames, and can also control the flames to condense into a doppelganger of it.
Fat rats have hundreds of small corpse rats in their stomachs, their teeth are unusually sharp, they are extremely fast and flexible, and they have the ability to release poisonous gases.
The snake woman has a special sense of perception, and her hair is a dense little snake that can grow and grow in an instant. Her own pair of pupils can also turn silver, emitting light waves that are pale silver and nearly transparent, petrifying the subjects she hits.
The ability of the two heads is the weakest, and the most important flight ability is greatly limited in the passage, and it basically becomes a burden in the back.
The general used that big steel sword against the enemy from beginning to end, and Zhou Chen could see that its strength and speed were not weak, and it would also use a set of practical sword skills.
In the end, there was the corpse wolf, Zhou Chen was too lazy to do it for a long time in the early stage, so he let it work hard.
In the last few dozen days, the enemies that appeared became more and more powerful, and Zhou Chen would make a move and release the Red Sun Fire Raven to quickly resolve the battle.
Zhou Chen doesn't like to waste time, but in fact, he is not short of time. So after walking in the passage for half a year, he did not question or urge the general. Anyway, keep going, there will always be an end.
And the final destination is finally approaching.
The terrain has finally changed, and the passage has clearly sloped upwards and there is a steep slope, which is the tendency to turn to the ground.
"Attention, there is a strong enemy in front of me, and it is not at the same level as the one I encountered before, and I can only be defeated and flee when I face it alone. ”
The general, who had always led the way, spoke out again, revealing a message that seemed to stop at the last time it had explored the passage.
After a sentence, the general continued to lead, and those who followed followed.
Rumble!
After walking for a while, Zhou Chen felt a vibration under his feet, and as he continued to advance, this vibration became more and more intense.
And Zhou Chen's skeletal body, every white bone began to be reflected red.
The source of this red came from the front, and at the end of the passage, there was a red hazy light, and I don't know what existed.
To be sure, the red light is accompanied by a noticeable increase in temperature.
Zhou Chen's body is just a white skeleton, and it has no nerve function to feel temperature.
But his soul thoughts are strong enough, and since it is a fire-based martial soul that has awakened, it is easier to perceive the heat in the red light.
"Is it magma again?"
Zhou Chen made a judgment in an instant, and his feet did not stop.
Time passed little by little, and as I walked up the slope step by step, the end of the red passage appeared in front of me.
One step out, the whole environment changes dramatically.
Different from the narrow passage that walked for half a year, now it is a huge circular field that is dozens of times wider.
The huge site is still enclosed, with alpine rock walls on all sides.
At first glance, it seems that after walking for half a year, you will arrive at a dead end. In fact, most of the site is occupied by the magma lake in the middle. In the center of the magma lake, another low mountain emerges, and on one side of the low mountain there is a dark cave entrance, which should be the final destination.
Rumble, rumble!
The lava lake continued to boil, shaking the ground. The red light and temperature I felt before came from it.
"Babbling ——!"
Just after Zhou Chen, the general and a few others had just passed through the passage and stood still in this field, a piercing and sharp voice suddenly came from the magma lake.
