Volume 8: War and Peace Chapter 38: The Bloody War (5)
The first layer of hell, the plain of blood.
It's a world that is desolate to the extreme, the flat ground stretches to the end of the eye, the clumps of soil are soaked with rich blood, and if you grab a handful, you can see some kind of bright red liquid dripping from your fingers, and the smell of rust is enough to suffocate even the weak-willed.
This kind of soil is not suitable for any crops, but even so, it is one of the most comfortable areas in the world of hell.
Compared to the main plane where the Entagri Continent is located, the Hell World is located at the very edge of the entire universe, and the world barrier separating the void is even visible to the naked eye. The terrifying Void Storm was separated by that thin void barrier, as if it could engulf the sky at any time.
A dark red, sulphurous cloud of smoke floated overhead, obscuring all light, and even at noon, only a few measly shimmers of daylight could reach the ground through the thick cloud of smoke, let alone the moonlight at night. The hell world has been the same for tens of thousands of years, venting his unyielding will in this way, vowing not to accept the gift of the goddess of the two moons.
There are nine layers in the entire hell world, wrapped one layer after another like matryoshka dolls, and the larger the layer, the closer it is to the center of the earth. It is said that from the fifth layer onwards, there is already a world of lava and volcanoes, and the ninth layer of hell is a place that even the fire element does not want to reach.
It's hard to imagine any creature being able to survive in such a bleak environment, but it is undeniable that after tens of thousands of years of evolution, the ancient creatures who were originally banished here have developed a huge group, a terrifying creature called a demon.
Compared to these demons living in hell, those demons on the continent of Entagri are like children who have not yet grown up, and those abyss demons are more like deformed children with genetic mutations. The harsh living environment has honed the demons of hell with great strength and extreme cruel habits.
Here, the only law is that the strong dominate the weak! The strongest can have it all!
"Come out! Come out! Little crawler! Hahaha! A two-headed quwasai demon smiled and waved the stone stick in his hand, the only weapon he had, and the demon didn't even have a piece of clothing to cover himself.
Of course, he doesn't need to! Kwasai is one of the more common demons in the Hell, with a pair of large bat wings and a stout body with a head that resembles a mixture of a lion and a baboon. The strength of the Kwasai Demon is generally around the fifth order, and their brains are small, and they can only understand some simple commands.
The thigh-thick stone rod slammed into the ground, smashing the already insubstantial ground into a big hole, and the scattered dirt spilled down like a rain of blood.
"Where? Where is it? Damn crawlers! The smell of rust in the air interfered with the sense of smell of the Quasdemon, and when he looked around, he still hadn't found his target, and angrily struck the ground around him with the weapon in his hand, creating mud puddles of all sizes.
"Roar! Damn it! It took more than ten minutes to vent before the quasai demon finally left here in a huff.
After a few more minutes, a figure struggled to get up from a hole. Judging from his movements, it was obvious that he had broken a leg by the "rage dance" just now.
"Whew! It's good that this guy has no brains! The figure climbed out of the bottom of the pit with both hands, and one rolled over and lay on the ground, "Damn! Broken leg! Now I need to rest for at least two hours before I can continue to escape! ”
Paterson said to himself that he wasn't worried about being discovered by other demons. The Plains of Blood is the most comfortable place in Hell, but it is also the least dangerous. No demon would waste time here to hang out, because there was neither prey to fill their stomachs nor enemies to fight for, and tens of thousands of years of evolution had already made the demons of hell give up any pleasure and relaxation. Rather than wasting time enjoying the peace here, they prefer to take on the challenge in the lava pool.
"Haha! Finally, there is hope of escaping this place! Paterson looked at the clouds of smoke in the sky and said calmly, as if it was someone else who had been hunted by Quartilla before, "I've had enough of this place! Nothing! ”
"Shut up! Humble bugs! Now, get me up and move on! From Paterson's throat, another voice sounded, and if anyone else was here, they might think this guy was schizophrenic.
At the urging of the voice, Paterson slowly stood up, dragging the broken leg towards the depths of the Blood Plains, and finally disappeared into the dim horizon.
Boom!
Monos slapped the two-headed Quasak Demon out with one claw, and the nearly eight-meter-tall Demon Overseer roared viciously, "Fool! You can't even catch a deserter? ”
"He ran into the Plains of Blood! I can not find him! The two-headed Kwasser struggled to his feet, it was obvious that Monos's claw had injured him a lot, but this not very smart guy at least knew that because he was not slapped to death by the Monos Overseers, it meant that he would not become food for some high-ranking demon because of this defeat.
Yes, you heard it right! Here, there is only one fate for the loser, and that is death! And the dead demon has always been a good meal in the eyes of other demons!
"Enough, I don't want to hear your explanation! Now, get the hell out of here! If anyone escapes, I'll screw both of your heads off and give them to Lord Basham as a snack!" Monos grabbed the whip in his hand and slammed it at the double-headed Quasdemon.
His tyranny scared even the two succubi who were serving him shudder. Monos is a standard jawed demon, and his trademark mouth can swallow even a nearly four-meter-tall quasse demon in one gulp, let alone a succubus that is not much taller than a normal human.
"Huh?" Sensing the fear of the two succubi, Monos lowered his head, and the four pairs of copper bell-like eyes distributed on both sides of the skull stared at the two trembling succubi.
"No, don't! Please! ”
Unfortunately, the succubus's pitiful plea for mercy could not arouse Monos's pity, and the heroic giant jaw demon did not hesitate to reach out and grab a succubus and throw it into his mouth, the giant jaw that occupied most of his head closed up and down, and blood flew out from between his teeth like a fountain.
The other succubus who was lucky enough to survive immediately put away the look of begging for mercy, with a flattering expression on his face, and vigorously massaged Monos's thick thighs. Having succeeded in knocking out her competitors, she will at least be able to keep herself safe until the next one of her kind arrives.
Monos didn't bother to bother with the intrigue between the two succubi, he looked up into the distance, and as far as the eye could see, there were all kinds of demons.
From the lowest-level lava goblins, to the high-level fire demons, and even a few Nick demons (close relatives of the Eye Demons), they are all losers in the hellish world, some have lost in the challenge, and some have lost the courage to continue to grow stronger.
In addition to death, what awaits them is to leave hell, and some of them with good combat power will be sent to the bottomless abyss to participate in bloody battles, using their lives to hunt those abyssal creatures, and most of the loot hunted will be recovered by the hell world to meet the daily needs of the hell demons.
The rest will be thrown to the main plane to replenish the losses of the demon clan on the main plane.
Don't think that this is an enviable good errand, the evolution of the demons of hell over the past tens of thousands of years has already made them extremely adaptable to the environment of the hell world, which is full of all kinds of powers, and the boundaries between the elements are not obvious, and the demons rely on their powerful bodies to use these chaotic and violent powers.
Once out of the hellish world and into the main plane, the demons can no longer freely use this chaotic power. Compared to the hellish world, the rules of the Entagri continent are more perfect, which also means that it is more difficult for the demons to use their power.
Generally speaking, the strength of the hell demons who are thrown to the main plane will generally drop by two to three orders, that is to say, once a fifth-order Kwasai demon arrives in the Entagri continent, its strength is equivalent to a gargoyle, plus the camp battles that come every hundreds of thousands of years in the Entagre continent, for the hell demons who generally have a lifespan of more than a thousand years, this kind of banishment is tantamount to putting them in concentration camps to be cannon fodder.
In the center of the wilderness, a huge spatial door made of huge black stones and hundreds of meters high is constantly engulfing those demons, and from time to time you can see demon overseers armed with long whips or stone rods driving those losers, cursing them loudly, and then throwing these fellow citizens into the space door.
On the other side of the door is the first level of the bottomless abyss, where these bare-handed creatures will meet their fate. Die, or hunt up enough loot and return to hell by not knowing which camp!
Monos looked at all this coldly, even if the two-headed Quasak Demon was knocked to the ground and then thrown into the space door by those losers, there was no reaction. A waste who can't even do well as an overseer is not qualified to stay!
This is the world of hell! This is hell!
On the other side, Paterson, dragging a broken leg, finally came to a hole in the depths of the Blood Plains.
"Get in!" The voice reappeared.
"Are you sure there's a portal to the continent of Ntagre?" As a player, Paterson himself has no idea why his character is in Hell, and the same thing has never happened to a player. And for Paterson, who is just a rookie, the world of hell is undoubtedly a nightmare start!
"You don't have a choice! Go in or stay here and starve! ”
Paterson gritted his teeth, at this time, he could only choose to believe the owner of this voice, the devil who tricked him into signing the contract with rhetoric, and then took advantage of the loophole of the contract to use his body as a toy without authorization!
The cave is deep and dark, and Paterson is just an ordinary demon who has no talent for dark vision, so he can only touch the walls of the cave and advance little by little. I don't know how long it took, but when he finally reached the end, he realized that he had walked into a dead end.
"Alright, we're here!"
"Arrived? But what about portals? ”
"No portal needed!"
"You lied to me? You're lying to me again? "God knows how much Patterson has suffered these days. It's good to be used as a toy by those terrible demons, but it's even worse to be eaten alive as food, and then when he is resurrected, he will be eaten again.
In fact, it was in order to escape from the seemingly never-ending torment that Paterson couldn't wait to make a pact with the damned devil, and then became what he is now.
"No, I didn't lie to you!" The voice sounded happy, even joyful, "I said it would get you out of hell!" But it all comes at a price! ”
"What the hell do you want to do? No, I'm not leaving! Isn't it okay if I don't leave? ”
"Unfortunately, as a devil, we do not support returns!" The voice spoke, and let out a smug laugh, "Now, give me your body!" Rest assured, I will imprison your consciousness in my soul, and from now on, I will be you! ”
Paterson felt his consciousness soaring, as if the whole world was leaving him, he saw his body, he saw his brain, he saw his soul detached from his body, and then he was kneaded into a bead the size of a mung bean by another terrible, hideous, evil spirit, and then swallowed by his own body.
"Hahaha! I'm finally back! I'm back again! I finally got a new body again! "Devil Valak, oh no, he should be called Paterson by now," said with a maniacing laugh.
The originally thin and thin body rose to more than two meters in a short period of time, and all parts of the body were wrapped in muscles, looking like a work of art. The pair of demonic horns on the top of the head twisted into a complete circle, no longer the simple sharp horns of the previous one. The leg that was broken before also recovered in an instant.
In order to completely transform his new body, Paterson spent three days in the burrow, which is why he came here. Having finally found a fool who had been deceived and could set him free, Paterson had to find a safe place to complete this final step.
Walking out of the hole, the unrecognizable Paterson looked in the direction he had come from, where a silver-white pillar of light was standing, standing up to the sky.
"It seems that this increase in troops into the Bottomless Abyss is almost over, and the chances of those Overseers staying here are slim, just my chance to escape from Hell!" The devil Valak, or rather Paterson, raised the corners of his mouth and said with a smile, "Look, little bug, I said I would get you out of hell!" I didn't break the contract! ”
