Chapter 1977: The sense of direction I once had

***************************************************************************************************

In the eastern part of the Hell World, the entire Hell is the most famous, and the Bone Mountain is the most famous mountain that makes unscrupulous demonic monsters smell and change.

It was a mountain rising from the ground, nearly three thousand meters high, looking like a giant from a distance, although this height, whether in the Dark Continent or in the Hell World, was not worth mentioning, and the peaks and mountains higher than the Bone Mountain were in the sea.

However, the mountain of bones is made up of countless bones, piled up, there is not a single mud, there is not a single stone, as far as the eye can see, it is full of demon bones, countless empty holes, dripping drops of dark green venom, sharp bone spurs everywhere, also exuding a miserable green luster, as long as it touches a little, it will immediately turn into a part of this bone mountain.

Countless resentful spirits, swirling in this mountain of bones, shuttling in the gaps of countless bone piles, whistling in pain, mournful wailing, hundreds of miles away from the mountain of bones, you can see a huge black, evil mist composed of countless twisted resentful spirits, shrouding the entire mountain of bones, dark green silk threads rising, binding this mist, forming a huge prison of bones and resentful spirits, falling here, will endure endless torture of souls and bones.

At the summit of the Mountain of Bones, there is a huge skull like a hill with a mouth shaped like a dragon. The horns are like demons, and a pair of eye holes are slightly glowing with a faint green light, as if they can come back to life at any time, which is terrifying.

This huge skull, not flat on the top of the peak of the bone mountain, but slightly tilted, in the shape of a raised head, looking at the sky, from a distance, the owner of the skull seems to have indescribable sadness. Wrath. Unwilling.

Inside the skull, there was a vast and gloomy palace, with a dim glow of green fire, illuminating a straight passage. It leads to the deepest part of the palace, which is a thousand meters deep. On a throne that stands tall.

"Sister Beryl!"

Andariel has long and slender legs. Holding a goblet carved from bones, gently swaying the red blood inside, showing a leisurely look. Zhizhu is holding the divine form, I have to say, I have never seen this demon queen so easily.

She was talking to a mirror not far ahead.

"I'm working hard, I'm definitely not sleeping, the Human Alliance is about to be defeated by me." Beryl, who was sitting on the edge of the petals, rubbed his unconvincing sleepy eyes, and patted his chest without blushing or panting.

"Forget it, I knew it would be like this anyway, if only the status quo could be maintained." Andariel, who was in a good mood, was under the surprised gaze of Belier, and it was rare that he did not turn into a roaring body, but the corners of his mouth stiffly tugged, and he drank all the blood in the cup in one go.

"Xiao An'er, you look in a good mood, do you mean that you have already caught that human savior?"

"No, but soon."

"Oh?" Belier tilted her head slightly, not daring to believe it, after all, how big the hell world is, she knows very well that even if the Four Demon Kings are half the rulers there, it is very difficult to find someone in the vast hell.

"I have given the order to all the demon kings in the entire east and west, let them pay attention, but I didn't expect that just after a while, there was good news, there were four little guys who found a suspicious strange character, the appearance of a ragdoll bear, and fought with each other, and retreated, all signs indicate that it is the little worm we are looking for."

As he spoke, the corners of Andariel's mouth curved into a graceful arc, how long had it been since he had enjoyed this feeling of everything going well? It's so nice to have that feeling of being in the right hands.

"Oooh! It's really good, then hurry up and arrest the little savior of mankind, if he wants to live, this demon king will torture him to death by all means. Bellier licked his lips, revealing a rare image of the Demon King.

"There's no hurry." Andariel cocked his index finger and made a boo gesture on his smiling lips.

"The little bug is not stupid, he has probably found out that we got it here, so he quickly escaped from the appearance point, with his speed, two or three days is enough time to run far, far away, there is no need to go to great lengths to search."

"Could it be that Xiao An'er already has an idea?"

"Of course."

"Tell me about it, don't hang my appetite."

"Hmph, I'm afraid that Sister Beryl has already counted in your heart, what am I thinking." Andariel shook his head helplessly, but still said it.

"It's very simple, since we know that it is our conspiracy to get here, then, of course, that little bug wants to evade our capture, where should it flee? Isn't the answer self-explanatory? He must have wanted to escape to the territory of those three guys, so we wouldn't dare to rush in and hunt it down. ”

"Yes, yes, Xiao An'er, I think it will be like this." Belier held his chin and nodded vigorously as if he were pecking rice.

Andariel, who was recognized by Beryl, curled the corners of his mouth slightly more.

"That little bug, it shouldn't be stupid enough to run around, presumably in the past few days, in addition to running for his life, he has also spent a lot of time inquiring about information and knowing his situation."

With that, Andariel clicked, and a huge translucent map suddenly appeared on her side, with dense markings indicating that this was the complete map of the world of hell.

"This is where the little bug appeared." She was a little bit on somewhere in the east.

"He wants to escape to the territory of those three guys, there are two ways to choose, one is to cross the shortest distance and go directly to the middle, but the middle is the most dangerous place in the entire hell world, there are too many strong people there, and even those three guys have not been able to completely tame the entire central part."

After a pause, Andariel continued, "So, suppose the little bug gets such information. Then, it is very likely that he will take another relatively farther but safer route, that is, through here, to the north of the region, which is also the territory of those three guys, but there are relatively few strong ones, it is safer, and at the same time, the border area there. It's also a place where some of the little bugs of the alliance sneak in are active. Because of the open and secret struggle between us and those three guys, the three-regardless zone was formed. ”

Gritting his teeth, Andariel finally pointed his hand: "Of course, there is another route. That is, from east to south. Over a long distance. Reaching the west, the only advantage of this route may be to catch us off guard. But if you think about guΓ² such a long distance, even if it is us, without using the teleportation array, it will take more than half a month, and there are countless powerful demon kings entrenched in the middle, I think that little insect should not be so stupid, will choose this path, otherwise, I am afraid that we will not be able to do it, he will fall on the way by himself, and fall into the hands of those demon kings. ”

"Well, the analysis makes sense, then, how is Xiao An'er going to deal with that human being?" Listening carefully, after Andariel finished speaking, Beryl nodded and asked with the meaning of the examination.

"Simple, the last route through the southeast to the west, we can rule it out for the time being, even if that bug is really so stupid to choose this route, long enough distance is enough for us to react and rearrange, so we will now target the central and northern routes."

Continuing to move his finger across the map, Andariel ended up heavier in two places.

"Look here, Sister Beryl, due to the harsh terrain and environment, no matter what, that little bug has to take a detour, whether he wants to go to the central part or to the north, he has to pass through the same place, from this volcano, through a lava field, and then through the swamp, and after that, he will choose different routes because of different goals, Sister Beryl, what do you think?"

"Hmm...... No problem, if it were me, I would have had to go this route. Berlier affirmed with a smile on his face.

"With Sister Beryl in check, I'm 100% sure."

"Then, since you know what route the other party is going to take, what is Xiao An'er going to do?"

"It's too easy." I don't know what to think, and the smile on Andariel's face suddenly became cruel and hideous.

"Since the little bug is automatically sent to the door, of course we have to play a good trick and let him fall into despair little by little, and that kind of bones and soul are worthy of being put on my bone mountain."

As she spoke, she pointed heavily on the map: "I have already deployed, just after passing through the swamp, I will choose the point where I want to divide the road, and set up a net of heaven and earth, so that when he thinks that he has succeeded in escaping and produces great joy, he will be sent into the abyss of despair, I really want to see that distorted and desperate face at once, I really want to!" Hahahaha~~~~"

"Wow, little An'er, you're too insidious." Seeing Andariel's arrogant appearance with a sharp smile in the sky, it seemed that even the Conspiracy Demon King couldn't stand it, Beryl shook his head and said.

"Hmph, that's how it should be with damn humans."

Andariel was unmoved, and with a flick of his fingers, he shattered the translucent map displayed next to him, and sat down again, cocking his thighs. The arm that fell on the armrest of the throne, supporting the side face, the face was cold and majestic, full of the appearance of a bloody queen.

"I know, all of Xiao An'er's plans are these, right?"

"Is there anything else Sister Beryl would like to add?"

"Yes."

"Oh? Hurry up and say it. ”

Andariel sat up slightly straight, staring closely at the demon king in the mirror, she had the confidence of a queen, if someone else said such a thing, she would immediately tear the other party apart without saying a word, even if it was Duriel and Azmodan, who were also demon kings, it was difficult to influence her decision.

Only Beryl, only Beryl, whose wisdom pleases her heart, will Andariel put down her queenly posture, bow her head, and ask for advice seriously and humbly.

"What I want to say is that Xiao An'er's taste is too bad, can I live in a different place, it is because of this that I don't like to go to Xiao An'er to play."

The camera in the mirror turned into a scene of the entire mountain of bones, and Belier's meaning was self-evident.

Andariel: "......"

"How is it, Xiao An'er, are you finally going to think about it seriously? I have a good place to recommend, as long as you nod your head, I will change it for you immediately. ”

Seeing that the other party fell into a large wave of contemplation, Beryl thought that the plan worked. His eyes sparkled, and he flapped his butterfly wings and danced happily.

"Say this, say this." Her little hand keeps tapping, and the image in the mirror changes to a gorgeous sea of flowers, a quiet lakeside, and a secluded forest, all of which are intoxicating scenery.

"Enough, where I want to live is my freedom!" Andariel finally couldn't take it anymore and smashed the mirror with a snap.

"What happened to the bones? What taste, what vulgarity. What does it have to do with me. Only bones, only when I see these bones, I can ......" muttered softly to himself, Andariel tossed the skull cup in his hand casually. The rows of faint green flames gradually extinguished. Once again, the entire palace was shrouded in darkness.

"Oops. Xiao An'er's temper is still so rough, obviously I still have something to say. Looking at the shattered mirror in front of him, Bailier looked very troubled. But the faint smile on the corner of his mouth contradicts it.

"Do you want to sue SΓΉ Xiao An'er? Something strange about that little savior. She tapped her chin, tilted her head in lovely, and clapped her palms one last time.

"Yes, let fate choose." With that, Berlier pulled out a gold coin and threw it up.

"Say the positive, don't say the negative."

The coin circled in mid-air, crossed a graceful parabola, fell to the ground, bounced a few times, rolled a few times, and finally got stuck in a small gap and stood upright.

"Oops, what an unexpected result." Beryl again bothered his head.

"What to do? Yes, it must be God's will if there is such a result, Xiao An'er, you can't blame me. With a melodious chuckle, Belyl's figure faded into thin air, disappearing along with her huge flower bed.

……

It took me almost three days to finally get out of the dead volcanoes, and the terrain gradually became gentle.

Now, however, there is a small problem.

I want to go to the territory of the Three Demon Gods, which way should I go?

If it's the eastern part of the hell world, it should be adjacent to the middle, the south, and the north, and the south is also the territory of the four demon kings, so it's not considered, and as for the west, you have to bypass the south to get there, and you can also pass.

In other words, there are only two routes in front of you, to the center or to the south.

Which route is shorter, faster, and safer? Also, what are the directions of the southeast, west, and west? I had to figure it out before I could move on.

Fortunately, there is no endless road, and just when I was cornered and was about to use my amazing seventh sense to guide the way, I finally caught a guy who recognized the direction.

Whether you want to go to the central or south, you have to go straight in this direction.

It is said that the clever old saber-toothed cat who came here from a swamp in the distance, through hardships and dangers, through the lava field, told me so.

Good...... No, what a cat!

In the face of the old saber-toothed cat that provided me with a lot of information, I was very kind, I didn't kill it, knocked it out and buried it in the burrow, and when it woke up and dug it out of the burrow, a few days had passed, and I had already gone far.

Keep walking in this direction...... Keep walking......

Following the direction the old saber-toothed cat had shown me, I went all the way and then forward, leaving the area of the Dead Volcano, and finally seeing another scenery in the gradually changing terrain.

It was like something out of a horror movie – a forest of dead, blackened, bare locust trees.

The strange bare branches are like devil's claws, one after another, making people palpitate, and the thick and twisted trunks are like human faces, which seem to open a pair of scarlet eyes from above at any time, waving branches like devil's claws, and turning into a terrifying tree demon.

This kind of scene is very reminiscent of the tree demon grandma in the Chinese ghost story, what makes people want to die is that such trees are dense, flying up in the air at a glance, there are gloomy strange-shaped branches everywhere, just like countless pairs of claws poking out of the abyss, dense, a gust of wind blows, these [claws] dance swaying, producing a terrifying scene of demons dancing wildly.

Think about it, there are countless tree demon grandmothers appearing in front of you, what kind of scene will it be, director, what I want is countless Xiaoqian!

Of course, when it comes to ghosts, I also have one on me, but I can be ten thousand Xiaoqian!!

With all sorts of complaints, I gritted my teeth. I fell headlong into this dead forest, and if my calculation is correct, this hellish place should be the dead forest that I found out about the first time.

Then again, is this direction really okay?

I recall the old saber-toothed cat's statement that this is the direction I came from.

Follow the direction it came from.

I remember it said it came from a swamp and got here through a lava field, yes, my brain is not so bad that I forgot the important information of the previous days.

But the dead forest in front of me ...... Obviously not right, coach. I thought it was talking about the molten zone. It must be another area, the place I named the Molten Lands.

At this time, should you believe the hidden meaning of the old saber-toothed cat's words, or should you believe in your own sense of direction?

Isn't that something to be taken for granted? Maybe the old saber-toothed cat fooled me. This kind of time. You should definitely believe in yourself. No one can be relied on except yourself!

Maybe through this dead forest, you will be able to see the molten field that the old saber-toothed cat said. Yes, it must be so, I clenched my fist and made up my mind.

[I think that even if I turn around, I may not be able to find the place of molten slurry, and I am lost anyway, so I have no choice but to go on hard.] Avrina complained just right, and I threw the salted fish sword to the ground in annoyance.

I really should let this salted fish sword, which is not inferior, see the demeanor of my big maze killer, but unfortunately there is no maze here, otherwise I will definitely scare it, absolutely!

Fighting with Avrina, the footsteps have stepped into the range of the dead forest, the dead locust trees in front of them have changed from sparse to dense, and after fully entering, they have become densely populated, with an average distance of less than five meters, almost blocking the direction in front of them, there is no grass on the ground, only a piece of rotten black soil, there is no way to go, and it is easy to get lost in it.

The sky, which was already blood-red and dim, became darker at this time, and the overhead was covered by dense branches of trees with strange shapes, and there seemed to be bursts of creepy crows in the ears, and the whole forest swayed like a swaying demon.

I had a headache looking at these dead trees blocking the way, and suddenly, my brain flashed a light bulb continuously.

And so, isn't this the place to show me the style of a maze killer?

Thinking of this, I grinned and strode forward, and swung my fist at a dead tree in front of me, and suddenly, the dead tree seemed to let out a mournful scream, snapped, and fell.

When I saw the fallen trees, I felt so happy that I couldn't help but think of a famous saying, there is no road in this world, Ben Druid is gone, there is.

It's just that this seemingly rotten dead tree is really unexpectedly strong and hard, several times harder than the rock on the ground, but under the bear paws of Bendruid, it is not a tree.

That's right, just go with the flow.

I strode forward, waving my palms, and one dead tree after another fell, like a giant bulldozer, and a huge T-Rex broke in, and everywhere I passed, all the trees were broken and destroyed, and the sound was endless.

After a few moments, I didn't bother to use the bear's paw, and with one side of my body, like a rugby player, I smashed the tree in front of me with one shoulder.

That way, I can keep moving in a straight line, hahaha, I'm a genius.

[Really? How do I think even if that's the case, you still can't walk in a straight line? Avrina's annoying voice came again.

[Long-winded, if I go crooked, it's because you're disturbing on the side]

[Well, since you said so......]

Avrina was speechless, and when she switched to God's perspective, she could clearly see a path that had been knocked out by a certain druid, changing along a crooked curve, like an energetic and aimless fly, flying through the air.

However, I didn't turn one hundred and eighty degrees and went back, although I made a tenfold detour, but I was still advancing little by little, which should be regarded as a great luck in misfortune...... Right, Avrina thought, speechless.

It is worthy of the Dark Continent...... No, this should be regarded as the first idiot of the Three Realms.

In fact, Avrina had already found out that she had taken the wrong path from the beginning, following the direction pointed by the old saber-toothed cat, and before she had gone far, the curve had already shifted, otherwise, she would have reached the land of molten lava.

However, it didn't make a sound reminder after all, it was not affected by the oath of [never help], and to a limited extent, Avrina would still give a little advice if she was occasionally kind, just as it was willing to answer some questions that were not confidential.

It's just that Avrina felt that even if she was reminded, with the level of this road idiot, she was afraid that it would not take a minute to make a mistake again, and she didn't have the patience to remind him to correct the direction every minute.

Besides, this is not necessarily a bad thing, maybe the enemy has set up a net in the right direction, and if he goes wrong, he may be able to hit by mistake, right?

It depends on the luck of this idiot.

[I said...... Avrina, did you hear any strange sounds? 】

My ears twitched as I heard a murmur of my own making, as if I had heard a murmur that I had not made.

【……】

[Stingy, didn't you just say a word? Do you still deserve to claim to be the world's No. 1 salted fish sword? 】

[When did I claim to be the number one salted fish sword in the world, you bastard!] Avrina finally couldn't help it and retorted angrily.

[That's right, the angry and corrupt look is like your style.] 】

[You mean I've been angry? 】

[This little thing is put aside in advance, and we will discuss it later, I said, do you hear any strange noises?] 】

[It's not a trivial matter for me, it's a major matter related to honor and dignity]

After a pause, Avrina sneered with a sense of revenge.

[I've heard it a long time ago.] 】

[Then why don't you remind me?] 】

[Because I want to watch a good show.] 】

[You guy......]

I stopped, and I couldn't talk nonsense with this ill-intentioned salted fish sword anymore.

The strange sound of sizzling became more and more obvious and dense, accompanied by a rustling sound, as if something was overwhelmingly rushing towards him.

Finally, a huge spider appeared in front of me, constantly shuttling on the densely interlaced branches, and finally pulled a spider thread, hung down, and stopped in front, three pairs of dark green and cold spider eyes in front of my forehead, weirdly purring and turning, reflecting my figure in it.

Immediately afterward, one after another, huge spiders, either from the trees or from the ground, sizzled and screamed, and in the blink of an eye, the surrounding and trees were already covered with nearly a thousand huge spiders.
