Fitch made his way up the slope towards the mountains, and the landslides and mudslides along the way were troubling. The decaying buildings and the mountains that had been overmined to build them turned into huge traps in the intermittent earthquakes. Thousands of tons of rocks, bricks, and dirt are rushing down, and nothing can stop them, and dodging is the only viable option.

Luckily, there's also the Air Elemental Rope spell, which allows Feige to move quickly and avoid the most dangerous areas. On more than one occasion he had seen the ranks of the contenders and devils working on the hillside engulfed in mudslides, completely hidden underneath and nothing to be seen. However, the invoker can transform into a cement-like fluid state, and thus be able to drill through cracks in the earth and rock. Most of those demons are punished by demotion, and they are regrouped and resurrected at the place of death - unless they have the money in advance and have purchased a "non-degraded life-saving package".

Such devils are one in a thousand, and Feige has only seen two from afar. They are smart and prepared, with the opportunity to be promoted in the future and get rid of the endless work of constantly facing death. It's just that if you really want to be promoted, it depends on luck, especially if you can't be caught by your greedy superiors. The previous two, one of them crawled out of the collapse too quickly, and the wounds on his body were too few, and he was discovered by the overseer who was hiding on the side.

Under the whip of stronger, higher-level demons, the lower-level inferior demons had to hand over their treasures. Feige couldn't see clearly from a distance, only a small glittering object. In a place where decay and decay are everywhere, sparkling means valuable.

The Overseer focused on his own harvest and was stabbed in the back, stabbed and stabbed in the back, ending his life of sin. Then, the little devil took back his belongings, kept crawling to the heights, screaming and jumping, causing a collapse again, burying the "companions" who had just crawled out. Subsequently, it hid in the rubble, and this time it would not have appeared so soon.

If you see all this, you will be able to get an idea of the state of the devil's life. Feige doesn't care about the rivalry between the little devils, he wants to conquer the mountains in front of him. The steeper and steeper cliffs were no longer suitable for climbing, and the jagged and sharp rocks kept cutting through Feige's skin, not to mention that falling from them was a fatal thing. Feige chooses the latter between "being trapped here and not being able to move" and "using magic to climb at the risk of being discovered".

Where the rocks are relatively solid, they are pulled by air elemental ropes, and where they seem to be loose, they are bound by earth elements. Hell repels the forces of the Celestial Realm, but the elements work here as normal. The lava-colored earth elemental tentacles clung to the mountain, at least until Feige stepped on the tentacles and passed like a ladder.

As the height increases, the seventh layer of hell can be seen almost as far as the eye. In this vast land of indescribably ruins, there is a huge city of exquisite opulence. The lord of the seventh floor lived there, at least until he was tired of the city, or if he had a new plan to build it. Feige is interested in the city, but rejects the hypocrisy and transience of this layer, and is more worried about the dangers that exist there. So he continued to climb.

The climb never seems to end, and there are always new slopes in front of you. Dirt, sand, stones, earth, sand, stones...... Feige had forgotten the passage of time a little, and his devilish body didn't seem to feel tired either. It was only when he finally got bored with the slopes and the climb and looked up to look around that he realized that he had already reached the sixth floor, and was only halfway to the fifth.

The sixth level of Hell is an endless slope of rock, as if the earth here once surged forward like a terrible tsunami after an earthquake, and then froze in an instant. There are rockfalls here and there, and the rumble rolls down from above. Landslides happen anytime and anywhere, and there are dangers everywhere on the slopes.

Earth Elemental Binding reduces the likelihood of danger around Feiqi, which makes the sixth layer look very similar to the fifth layer, thus causing Feige to be unaware of the changes in his "level". Looking up, the scaly ceiling was a leaden gray, and a loud rumbling sound came from above. Wait, the sound was coming from below, so it's hard to tell if it was thunder or the roar of a landslide.

Feige tried to tell the difference, but heard other voices in the roar. A looming cry came from somewhere, burrowing into Feige's ears. It was the cry of humanity, a voice that only a man who had been tortured and traumatized to the psyche could utter. Feige couldn't tell the direction of the sound, and after a while he realized that it was ringing directly in his head, even from the depths of his mind. Gradually, the crying became herself, and the crying became Shani, and the crying became more and more, and it seemed that everyone Feige knew was among them.

Fear began to creep in, and all sorts of bad thoughts followed. How long has it been, and why haven't you told me to go back?Will I go crazy?What if I commit suicide and be reborn, but this cry is imprinted in my soul?Am I already insane?If I pray, will I be discovered by the devil?It is coming, it is coming?Who is it, or what is it, how can I not remember......

Feige began to get muddy and began to spin on the hillside, so that he deviated from his original direction. As he walked, he stopped, his eyes fixed on a deep cavern on a rocky slope not far away. His mind was full of thoughts, "Why is the cave here, where does the cave lead, will there be treasures in it?"

There may be a shortcut to the fifth floor, which is much easier than climbing a hill. Feige also felt that this idea was a little incorrect, but he was very eager to try it. He takes a step forward, and this is the first step, and then it will be the next step, the next step, just as the fall is gradual and rapid. He started with a stagger, and has gradually accelerated to a normal pace.

"Smack!" a whip suddenly appeared not far away, and the sound pierced Feige's ears like a sharp cone. "Forward! Keep up! Pledge allegiance to the Duchess, serve the Duchess!

Feige came to his senses as if he had been beaten in the face, and by this time a group of demons had come to his side. It was a team of hundreds of combat-ready Inferior Demons, five strong Barggers armed with barbed spears and rusty scale armor overseeing the army, and one Bargger with a whip.

It's too dangerous, just now my whole brain was controlled by fear, not only did I almost walk into an unknown cave, but I didn't even know that a team of devils came to my side. He stepped to the side of the road, and the demons marched past him in a procession, one by one, into the cavern.

Only the bad demons entered, and the barbed demons stopped and stayed outside. One of them, the barbed demon with the leather whip, who was stronger than the others and had better armor, came to Feiqi, bowed his head slightly, and asked, "Contract Demon, do you still want to enter the cave?"

"No, you can do whatever you want. Feige reacted quickly, and when he regained his sanity, he regained his IQ. He looked around and saw that he had deviated from his original route by at least five kilometers. If you calculate the difficulty of moving up the hill, it means that he lost control of himself for at least two hours, which is too dangerous.

Not always in the current situation, Feige must find a way to get rid of the effects of fear on him, and more importantly, to guard against other possible emotional states. Thinking of this, his gaze fell on the leather whip in the hand of the Barb Demon Leader. "Can you show me that whip?"

"No, this is my credentials as captain and I can't give it to you anyway. ”

"Anyway, is there such a thing in hell?" Feige sighed softly, then turned to the other barbs, "Can any of you tell me if I want to see that whip?"

"Kill him. First a barb demon whispered, and then a group responded. The barb demon of the leader suddenly raised the whip in his hand and opened his mouth to shout: "For the sake of the female father-in-law......"

How could Feige let it shout? Obviously, the sound of the whip had some control over the devil's mind, and it was this voice that had brought Feige to his senses. At the same time, it is also a symbol of class status, the devil holding the whip is the leader, and the other barb demons must obey orders under the command of the whip!

Fitch grabbed it by the mouth, then summoned the Soul Reaper Dagger, thrust it through the barb's exposed neck. As a mid-level devil, although the combat power of the contract demon is not outstanding enough, it is enough to crush the barb demon. The Soul Harvest Dagger is made of the horns of the Deep Hell Purgatory, and its suppression ability is even more prominent. Originally, the barb demon was about to resist, but after Feige summoned the dagger, it immediately relented, and its hands hung down, closing its eyes and waiting for death.

And so it really died. Feige took the whip from its hand and threw its corpse on the ground. "Now for another question: If I take this whip, who is for it and who is against?"

"Yes, yes. The barbs agreed. "We can't oppose you, my lord. ”

"That's good. Feige couldn't believe these devils, after all, they would take the opportunity to stab themselves in the back and pull their entrails out with a barb. The hidden danger of taking this whip must be eliminated, but even if it is bound by a contract, the stronger devil can still find clues to Feige through the contract. So, why not just do it......

"Let me ask you smart people, do you know what's in this cave?" Feige pointed to the cave beside him. After being controlled in his emotions and actions, he almost walked into this cave, indicating that the contents were more dangerous than contract demons.

"I've heard that it contains the treasures of its former masters in hell. A barbed demon rubbed his fingers and replied with a flattering smile, "In hell, there were creatures that were older than the devil, and their final hiding place was these caves. The Duchess ordered the caves to be cleaned up in order to search for the last treasures left by the ancient creatures. It's just that these caves don't necessarily appear in a certain location, and they will disappear soon after they appear, so you can't use more elite power, so you have to use inferior demons. ”

"But it doesn't say that you can't send better devils in, and you won't stop elite devils from entering the cave. Feige pointed to the corpse on the ground: "You two throw it in, I think even after it dies, it should serve the Duchess." And Hell will always make it reappear in another form, just in time to join the ranks of the Bad Demons. ”

"Yes, sir, that makes sense. ”

The two barbed demons went one after the other to carry the corpse of the former captain, and when they reached the entrance of the cave, Feige made a move. As soon as he pressed his palm to the ground, the earth elemental restraint broke through the earth, like a tall and dense field of weeds covering the ground in front of the cave entrance. The tentacles clinged to the barb's body, tugging and tangling them, causing them to staggered and lose their balance.

Feige was also affected, but he knew the weakness of Earth Elemental Binding Spells, and each spell had a way to crack it, whether it was Greasy, Air Elemental Rope, or something else. He was also entangled, but after the spell composed of dozens of magic runes was activated, Feiqi's body had an extra layer of grease on the surface, and the earth elemental tentacles would only slide away instead of being sticky.

The greasy spell and the earth elemental rope restrain each other.

"For the sake of the Duchess, kill it!" the barbed demons roared, waving the barbed spears in their hands. Their bodies were tilted on their own, and at this life-or-death moment, they were not thinking of standing firm, but using their long weapons to slash the earth elemental tentacles of their teammates next to them. At this point, Feige didn't expect that the Barb Demon showed extremely strong combat quality and discipline at a critical moment, and there was no selfishness.

It is true that Feige underestimated the discipline of the devil. In fact, in the endless battle with the devil, strong battlefield discipline and combat organization have always been the fundamental magic weapon for the devils to win more with less, and even defeat the strong with the weak. Battle formations, legions, solid and stubborn defenses, and coordinated waves of attacks, the mad demons are basically not going to take advantage. Unlike the discipline of the angels, the discipline of the devil is based on high-pressure rule and calculation of interests. There is no fearless self-sacrifice here, and there is no such thing as helping others for no reason. The only reason Barb helps his teammates cut down Earth Elemental Tentacles is simply because he knows his teammates will do the same.

It is an exchange of interests, built on order and discipline. When Fitch is immune to the Earth Elemental Tentacles, the Barbs break free almost at the same time. However, the earth elemental tentacles are endless, and there will be more if they are cut off, but Feige has to deal with the siege of the barbed demon who let go of his hands and feet in a short time.

The Soul Reaper Dagger was too short, and Feige rolled forward and picked up the leader's barbed spear. With his full field of vision, Feige was able to see what was going on behind him, but he couldn't dodge perfectly. It was only a small step slower—also because the contract demon's body was much larger than a human's—and its calf was pierced through by a spear, and dark blood splattered from the wound.

The devils' tactics are to be unforgiving, and as soon as Feige shows his flaws, corresponding attacks follow. Feige used a barbed spear to block left and right, but still had two spears in the back and one in the thigh. He could feel the jagged barbs flipping inside him, the internal organs broken, the skeleton rattling in the tremors. He saw that these barbed demons cooperated tacitly, and two of them specially cleaned up the earth elemental restraints that the other barb demons had climbed, so that those demons could attack with all their might.

The barbed spear was drawn, and the barbed spear stabbed in again, and both the spear and whip in Feige's hands fell to the ground. He was battered, staggering, and his body staggered. Barb's weapons inflict bleeding wounds, which are worsened by a disease curse known as "Devil's Cold", make things worse than Fitch initially anticipated. He shook his body, ready for death and rebirth, only to notice a barb demon take a half-step back, as if to avoid something.

What are you dodging from? Fei Qi looked out and saw that it was the long horn on his body. The body of the contract demon is surrounded by a circle of crown-shaped protruding sharp horns, which stretch outward from the back of the head, shoulder blades, back of the waist, etc., and the symbolic contract text hangs in the form of scrolls on the sharp corners, around the body of the contract demon, like the robes of ancient Rome. Feige coughed up blood: "I made a tactical mistake, I should have used this!"

Suddenly, dozens of Qi elemental ropes shot in all directions centered on Feiqi, pulling all the barb demons like spider silk. This is not an earth elemental tentacle, but a gas in the form of a spell, which is constantly used with barbed serrated spears. The demons didn't know the mana-cutting sword of the eight-eyed spider Liz, they hesitated for a moment, and then Feige unleashed.

The rope of the air elemental tightened suddenly, dragging all the barb demons over. Admittedly, Feige was stabbed many more times, but the sharp horns on his body also pierced the barbs. The distance between the two sides is shortened, the meat is attached to the meat, and the fart is sticking to the skin. If the horns are considered to be part of the bones of the contract demons, then their bones are also next to the bones. At this distance, the spear is of little use, and the Soul Harvest Dagger can still be used.

So, before being killed, Feige finally killed the enemy.

He had been badly wounded and was unsteady on his feet, but it was crushed in the center by the corpses of the barbed demons, like a pyre for a campfire, and it couldn't fall. The contract demon slowly regenerates, and the hell healing is also working, which makes him gather strength little by little, and slowly pull out the barbed spear that is still stuck in his body. After these weapons are gone, the injuries can always start to develop in a better direction with the help of regeneration and healing.

Surrounded by the corpse of the Barb Demon in the middle, Feige slowly recovered in a half-kneeling position. He had been groggy, but he didn't dare to really close his eyes and rest, for fear that he would be controlled by inexplicable crying and fear in case he fell asleep. Relying on the unique advantages of the territorial devil, Feige finally failed to die.

One by one, the corpses of the barbed demons were removed from their bodies, and the scrolls on the contract demons were stained red with the blood of other demons. Feiqi was wet all over, with his own blood and barb demons, and he couldn't tell whose was who's and whose was mixed together.

He put away his whip and examined the barbs. Their armor doesn't fit the body of the Contract Demon, and the barbed spear is too distinctive, so it's best not to take it. Among the little bags hidden by the devil, Feige did find some scattered gold nuggets and tiny diamonds.

These are the currencies of hell, just not as valuable as souls. Feige doesn't want the money, but uses them to get some intel about the ecology of Hell. If he needs to spend "money", he can pay for it with the stock in the soul crystal. He searched and found nothing interesting, so he threw them all into the cave and buried them with the gold nuggets and diamonds.

The Barb's whip is undoubtedly a spell item, producing a distinctive whistling sound when swung vigorously and beginning to gather mana. With a jerk, a kind of coercion from the superior devil was released, and it was this coercion that brought Feige to his senses.

But now that he is swinging the long whip, the fluctuation of coercion is still there, but it does not have the effect of "spurring" and "alerting". Maybe it was because he was very unconscious at that time, so the activity of the soul weakened, which was equivalent to reducing to the level of a low-level devil? Fei Qi pondered for a while, and felt that this guess might be correct. That state of confusion and selflessness is no different from that of a new person who is aimlessly praying, which is the lowest level of existence in hell.

That way, the whip didn't do much to Feige. On the one hand, he has to go into the mud to be affected by the whip, and on the other hand, as long as he is muddy, he has no ability to swing the whip. "Oh, you are so pitiful, is this a vain death?" Feige expressed his condolences to the barbed demons. The whip is then thrown into the cave along with it, and then the earth elemental restraint is used to pull the surrounding rocks with force, sealing the entire cave entrance.

After destroying the corpse, Feige continued on his way. He wasn't without gains, at least the spell runes used for the whip had some reference value. "Stimulate rank coercion", this is a spell effect that only has an effect on the devil, other species don't care if it's an angel or a demon, who cares if a devil is in that layer of status sequence! Moreover, most of the middle-level devils themselves have the ability to rank coercion, and the high-level devils have all of them. Feige can also use the rank to suppress other devils, but his soul is not a complete devil, so the effect is very poor.

It's not a very useful thing for Feige to coerce other demons, but it can be used to coerce himself. Once again, his eccentric way of thinking came into play. The state of chaos can reduce the "class embodiment" of the soul, but it cannot essentially degrade the soul, so once it is muddy, won't the essential soul be able to coerce itself?

"It's hitting yourself on the head with a stick!" Feige rolled his eyes, feeling that he was about to take a solid first step in his torture. As the inheritor of some of the knowledge of the Fork in the Road Demon, he originally knew the devil's rune spells, and as long as he perfected them with magic theory, he would soon create a spell of "self-vigilance".

With this spell, he continued to climb upwards, and the cry reappeared. And this time, every few seconds, a "head drink" knocked on his soul. "Listen to the! Crawl quickly! I'll smoke you to death if I don't concentrate on the right thing!"

This is the "line" that Feiqi made up in his brain after the soul was coerced by himself, and in fact, the truth is the same as those cries can produce frightening timbre changes. Emotions don't directly produce scenes, they require the brain to be funny, but who can be sure that these scenes are not the result of the soul acting on itself?

So, while listening to the bitter cold, Feiqi listened to himself scolding himself, and at the same time thinking about the profound truth of the soul, and finally climbed to the fifth layer. He immediately froze and sneezed, which was a rarity for the devil.
