Chapter 20: The Covenant of Hell's Gate
After passing through several dusty stone doors, and following the girl, I came to a small basement, which was very simply decorated, except for the terrifying-looking avatar on the wall facing the entrance. But by the faint glow of the lanterns placed in the four corners of the room, I saw that the walls of the basement were covered with gruesome murals, pictures of hellish demons, their teeth and claws, as if they were about to break through the walls at any moment.
"What kind of place is this? There doesn't seem to be any exit other than the one we came from. Looking around suspiciously, I said in a deep voice, while speaking, my body slowly moved towards the entrance, although at this moment I still can't feel the other party's hostility towards me, but the heart of defense is indispensable, the other party is always the boss of the seven floors, the boss and the player are natural opponents, I haven't heard of a boss who really helps the player.
"Don't worry, this is the eighth floor you're looking for." Looking at the only pendant in the room, the horror avatar, the girl said.
"Eight floors? Is this just a basement? "I looked at everything in the room again, but I couldn't find anything valuable.
Smiling at me, the girl said, "You'll find out later." With that, the girl walked over to the avatar, lightly pressed the avatar's eyes, and then flashed to the side, quietly waiting for something to happen.
Quiet, spent three seconds quietly in the dead silence, suddenly, the head that was still stone just now slowly changed, blood-red eyes, dark blue skin, Sensen's fangs, how terrifying that look, Rao is my concentration, but also scared enough, if it weren't for the dignity of being a man, I really have the urge to run away.
With a flash of red light, two pillars of blood-red light flashed out from the bloody eyes of the demon avatar, shooting on the ground, and gradually a churning pool of blood appeared on the ground, and from the blood pool, a gate made of white bones rose impressively.
Seeing all this, I was stunned, and there was a rare short circuit in my brain all of a sudden.
"Mr. Lone Star Han, this Hell Demon is like an entrance to hell, could it be the eighth layer you are looking for?" The girl asked me.
"This, this, I don't know. I guess so, can you open the door and let me in. "Now that I'm a dead horse and a live horse doctor, I can't just give up when I have the chance, but to be honest, although I feel a little chill in my heart, the excitement of exploring the unknown still makes me look forward to going to hell.
"This, I'm afraid I can't do anything about it, to open this door of hell, you need a key, if you don't have a key, you can't force it open by external force." The girl said regretfully, it is obvious that the girl is also very curious about this legendary hell.
"The key to the gates of hell? The Gates of Hell. By the way, is that the one? Suddenly, I screamed excitedly, and then searched for the ring for a while, and finally took out a very chic key and asked the girl.
"Suspicious? Where did you get that? The key to the gates of hell, well, it's supposed to be this, hehe, it turned out to be prepared. The girl smiled and took the key, and looked closely.
"I got it when I fought the Three-Headed Hellhound in the Dark Ruins, and I've almost forgotten it for so long." Dizzy, it's really dangerous, I thought it was a useless thing, and I almost sent it to the auction house to dispose of it, but it seems that there is a destiny in the dark.
"Your luck is really good, the chance of the three-headed dog of hell exploding this thing is very low, but you touched it, hehe, worthy of Lone Star Cold." The girl quipped.
Khan, does the luck have anything to do with my name Lone Star Han? What the hell is going on in the head of this boss?
"Alright, it's easy to do it with the key." With that, the girl put the key into the mouth of the terrifying demon, then took it out again and gave it back to me. Soon, the terrifying demon opened like a mouth, and a white light rushed out of his mouth, hitting the gate of the white bones, and with a "creaking" sound, the gate of hell was finally opened.
As soon as the door opened, the temperature of the entire basement suddenly seemed to drop sharply by several degrees, and a cold chill made people shiver. And a terrible wail came from inside the door, making people's hearts tremble. Halo, the name of hell is really not fake, and this momentum alone is not something that ordinary people can bear.
"Let's go, the door is open, let's go in and have a look." The girl's face was excited.
"Wait, you're going with me too?" Khan, what's wrong with this boss? Not only did I not think I was an enemy, but he also helped me like this, such a monster, let alone seeing it, I really haven't heard of it.
"What? Don't want to take me there? The girl's face was angry, and if I didn't agree to her, there would be a tendency to explode at any time.
"What are you doing there? How can a girl's family like to go to that kind of place? "I tried hard to persuade that I always felt uncomfortable exploring with a boss. It's the same even if the other party is a wonderful beauty.
"Can't people just go and see it? Anyway, this demon avatar is also mine, if you don't take me there, I'll take back the avatar, and you don't even want to go. "The girl began to use her feminine nirvana - coquettishness and threat.
Dizzy, what kind of world is this, actually threatened by a monster, and look at that look, the girl can really say that she can do that, alas, forget it, the other party has no ill will towards me, just take a pet, hehe, but then again, having such a pet is definitely a trendy thing.
Finally, after some haggling, I reached a verbal agreement with the girl that I would take her to hell for a spin, but the other party would absolutely obey my orders during this time and not disobey them. In this way, for the first time in peerless history, an agreement between the player and the boss was reached, and the first time the player and the boss partnered to explore, and the two firsts were studied and analyzed by countless peerless commentators in the future, but the results were often very different, and there was nothing to say, but in the text of the peerless chronicle describing this "Covenant of the Gates of Hell", there is such a sentence "If you are the same, you will be together, and if you are divided, you will fight." ”
The word hell bears a striking resemblance in the minds of both Eastern and Western people, and it is synonymous with terror and the punishment of the wicked. People often refer to the horrific scene as hell on earth, which shows how horrible and terrifying hell is.
Stepping on the volcanic rock, looking at the people struggling in the lava, (if that's human) smelling the pungent fishy smell in the air, listening to the screams of people in pain, I felt the taste in my heart at this moment. Even though I tried my best to tell myself that it was just a game and that everything was fake, the horror of the environment still made me very uncomfortable.
"Lonely, Lone Xinghan, you, have you found what you're looking for? Otherwise, let's go back first, it's a bit cold in this place, and I want to go back and get dressed. I don't know when the girl has hid behind my back, pulled my clothes, and said timidly.
Dizzy, just this virtue can also be the boss of the seventh layer of the terrifying abyss, is the void god burned out his brain, and sent such an innocent little girl to sit in the terrifying abyss, alas, the faces of the highly intelligent NPCs have been lost by her.
Although I can think like this in my mind, I can't say that, and after scanning the surrounding environment, I said, "I have sensed the existence of the Dark Demon Sword, but I can't be sure where it is, if you endure it again, my sense is getting stronger and stronger, and I think I will be able to find it soon."
In this way, while comforting the girl, I carefully sensed the location of the Dark Demon Sword. Ever since I stepped into this hell, the other two magic weapons on my body have had a strong sense, and it is with this sense that I have walked step by step to the place where the magic sword is hidden. Fortunately, although this hell is terrifying, the monster is not so perverted that I can't bear it, and compared to the seventh layer, the strength of the monster has decreased. That's probably the only good news I've ever received in this hell.
Finally, after some fighting, I came to a small lava pool, where I clearly felt the presence of the magic sword, but compared to the original induction when I got the Night Armor and the Shadowless Boots, this time it was much weaker, and if it weren't for the guidance of the other two magic weapons that belonged to the same set, I wouldn't have been able to find it with my senses alone.
"Is the Dark Demon Sword you're looking for down there?" The girl asked curiously, looking at the churning lava that was not hot at all.
"Well, that's right, but the question is how do we get the Dark Sword out? Although this magma does not seem to have much temperature on the surface, the devil knows what is really going on inside? I sighed helplessly.
"Yes, this is the Hell Demon Rock, although there is nothing on the surface, but there is a hidden mystery inside, and its temperature is definitely far beyond ordinary magma." After all, it is a highly intelligent NPC, and the girl obviously knows a lot.
"You said that if you use a super-cold air to cool it down, is it feasible?" I asked suddenly with my mouth open.
Glancing at me angrily, the girl said, "Except for the Northern Xuanwu of the Four Holy Beasts, the Xuan Qi he sprayed may be useful, I look at other Xuanwu." ”
"Xuanwu may not be able to find it, but this Northern Dust Sky Wolf Blade is an artifact-level treasure, I think it should have some effect." With that, I took out the Sirius Blade that I had obtained from Little Japan.
"Suspicious? It's really an artifact, you're really willing, if you really have to do it, whether it succeeds or fails, I think this artifact is finished, you have to think about it, is it worth it? The girl said regretfully.
"Haha, it's someone else anyway, I don't care, even if it's sad, it's going to be those little Japan and not me." I don't care about the Tao.
"Well, since you said so, let's give it a try." Taking the Sirius Blade, the girl threw it directly into the Hell Demon Rock.
