Chapter 2: The Land of the Abyss

The moment when Lola holds up the flower umbrella.

Gu Qingshan, Boss, Zhang Yinghao, and Ye Feili grabbed the edge of the flower umbrella with a tacit understanding.

All five disappeared at the same time.

The king opened his arms and shouted at the big gray mouth, "Come, come and serve meβ€”"

Before he could finish his words, he was hit by something.

He also disappeared from his place.

The next second.

Dozens of long tongues descended from the sky in the form of afterimages.

Rumble!

The stone slab floating in mid-air erupted into a cloud of light, shielding itself.

But the brilliance could not resist the long tongue at all, and was quickly defeated.

The entire slab cracked open and fell into the endless darkness below.

The darkness was boundless and deep, and as the echo of the shattered slate faded away, it swallowed up all movement.

Dead.

There was nothing around but the pillars of the corpses that were still open.

The corpses all hung their heads and remained motionless.

They didn't scream as wantonly as they used to.

Tell me about it.

The sound of creeping kept sounding.

one,

two,

Countless long tongues fell from the sky, spreading out like tentacles, looking around for the whereabouts of the previous power.

Thousands of long tongues licked all the corpse pillars, not sparing every inch.

When the corpse pillar was searched, the long tongue spread out like tentacles in the dark void, trying to touch something.

Nothing.

It was a long time before a thousand long tongues retracted into the big gray mouth.

Suosuo's voice rang out again.

The big mouth retreated into the darkness, fading away with the thin voice.

The Forest of Pillars of Corpses returned to dead silence.

Time passes.

On the cliff leading to the Forest of Corpse Pillars, several figures suddenly appeared.

The king shook and sat down on the ground, his face pale and distorted, and large beads of sweat hung on his forehead and slid down his cheeks.

Zhang Yinghao asked, "Why is your face so bad?" ”

The king said in despair, "It's over, it's over, the only chance to enter here has been wasted by me." ”

"No, we're just getting started." Lola couldn't help but say.

"You don't know," said the king, "that slate is the only beacon here, and without it, we don't know how to go." ”

"We can go back and discuss it first, and see what to do." Ye Feili said.

"You look back." King's Road.

The crowd turned back and looked back at the way they had come.

The secret passage had disappeared, and all that was left in sight was an empty darkness.

The cliff where everyone is located hangs lonely in the air, and there is a void in front and back, left and right, how can there be any secret passages.

"We can't go back?" Gu Qingshan asked.

The king sighed, "Yes, once you enter, you only have one chance, and there is no turning back, you can only teleport back when you reach the deepest part of the ruins. ”

The crowd was silent.

Can't go back.

Lost the way forward again.

What now?

Gu Qingshan stood on the edge of the cliff, feeling the extremely cold wind in the void, and suddenly asked, "What do you think of that monster just now?" ”

"The strength is outstanding, stronger than those monsters in the Hegemony Zone." Zhang Yinghao said.

Lola said: "In the 900 million layer of the world's murderous object illustrated, there is no such monster, I guess it does not belong to our cognitive category. ”

"That's true," the boss continued, "I haven't seen this thing either, it's not a monster of the ninety-million-layer world and the abyss, and it doesn't belong to the inner world and the space-time mystery nest, it's about a monster in the incomparably distant void turbulence, because the gods didn't clean it up there back then." ”

Several of them turned their heads to look at him together.

Gu Qingshan said: "It is said that the gods fought against all kinds of monsters in the void turbulence for a place like Requiem Township, and finally cleared a large area to come out. ”

"Yes, the gods have also unleashed many means of concealment and protection in this voidβ€”that's why the 900 million worlds have been safe and sound for the last 100 million years." Old Boulevard.

He walked to the edge of the cliff and looked at the dark void in front of him with Gu Qingshan.

"This is actually a dead place." He said.

"What is the Land of the Dead Abyss?"

"After the destruction of the Inner World, the gods established various shelters in the turbulence of the Void, such as Requiem Village."

"Later, the gods fought against the monsters in the turbulent waters of the void, and gradually suffered irreparable injuries."

"The gods discovered the eternal nature of the abyss and wanted to use the power of the abyss to make themselves eternal beings."

"The seven gods worked together to strip some places from the eternal abyss for the gods to study the power of the abyss."

"Countless years passed, and the gods eventually died, and they could no longer protect this placeβ€”and this place did not belong to the abyss, and the abyss naturally did not protect it, so the monsters in the distant void gradually sought in and took over this place."

The hearts of the few people were shaken by the sound, as if they were listening to an epic story in the endless years.

The boss said in an accentuated tone: "The danger here is beyond imagination, and with the strength of a few of us alone, we may not be able to go to the end." ”

Ye Fei looked around the cliff and said, "But we have no way out. ”

"Yes, we have arrived at this place, and there is no way to return to Requiem." Zhang Yinghao said.

"Wait, I'll see." Lola said.

She looked down through her satchel and eventually pulled out a compass.

Lola looked at the pointer and direction on the compass and sighed, "If this is the case, we have arrived in an extremely distant place, and no teleportation spell can cross such a long distance and send us back." ”

Gu Qingshan said: "Then let's go, go to the end of this ruin, there should be a way for the God of Life to leave." ”

The king waved his hand and said, "Haven't you figured it out yet?" The slate that gave us directions had been shattered, and we couldn't find our way forward. ”

"The Way Forward ......"

Gu Qingshan groaned, stretched out his hand and patted Zhang Yinghao's shoulder: "It's up to you." ”

Zhang Yinghao drew out a card and threw it gently.

The card falls to the ground and turns into a deep black hole.

"Meow?"

A soft cat meow sounded.

The black cat jumped out and landed on Zhang Yinghao's shoulder.

"Little girl, what do you want to eat today?"

Gu Qingshan rubbed his hands together and showed a flattering smile.

The black cat licked its paws and said, "Meow meow meow!" ”

"It says it's hungry, whatever it can be, but it has to be delicious." Zhang Yinghao translated.

Gu Qingshan thought for a moment and asked everyone, "Are you hungry?" ”

"It's almost time for dinner." Ye Fei left the road.

The boss raised his hand and said, "Ah, since it comes to eating, I want to eat the egg fried rice from last time." ”

"I'm going to eat noodles." Lola said.

"I'll just have a steak and a bottle of wine." Zhang Yinghao said.

Gu Qingshan looked at the king.

The king took a step back, looked incredulously at the group, and then turned his head to look at the horrific pillars of corpses beyond the void.

The corpses may be still, but if you look at them for a long time, you will notice a strange smile on their lips.

In the darkness above the pillar of corpses, there is also an incomparably powerful terrifying monster.

- In this environment, you actually want to eat?

The king couldn't help but point to the dense corpses and said, "Now you plan to cook and eat?" Why don't you look at the situation over there? ”

Gu Qingshan glanced at it and said nonchalantly: "Don't be afraid, if these corpses can still move, then it's just right, they are all under my control." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ I don't have an appetite to eat. The king had no choice but to say this.

Gu Qingshan didn't care about him anymore.

Gu Qingshan turned his head and said to the others: "The steak is no problem, the egg fried rice is no problem, Lola - the noodles are not good, you order again, and fly away, what do you eat?" ”

"Aren't noodles good? Then I'm going to eat the cake you baked. ”

"I eat ramen – wait, why don't you make noodles? Forget it, I'll eat a small mushroom meat foam risotto, and give me an ice cream and a cup of pear brown sugar tea. ”

"Ah, Ye Feili is so cunning, I want ice cream too." Lola said.

"Ice cream? Good stuff, I want it too. The Boss chimed in.

Gu Qingshan took out an apron and tied it, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll do it right away." ”

In this place of death, far away from the 900 million layers of the world, in the ruins of the God of Life, in front of countless corpse pillars, everyone ate a warm meal.

Gu Qingshan made an extra portion of each food and gave it to the black cat.

After the meal.

Everyone was satisfied.

The black cat is also very satisfied.

"Meow, meow!"

"It says it's delicious, just say what you want." Zhang Yinghao held a glass of wine and translated.

"We're lost here, please take us to the deepest part of this place." Gu Qingshan Road.

"Meow!"

"It says it's fine."

"That's good, Luo open the umbrella, hero, you let the black cat lie on the umbrella, fly away and listen to the movement around you, and we will move forward like this."

"Good!" The people answered.

Gu Qingshan snapped his fingers and said towards the void: "You are on guard in front, and you will communicate with me immediately in case of trouble." ”

"Huh~"

A sound of response rang out in the void, startling the king.

He didn't have time to think about what it was, because everyone was already about to leave.

Everyone stood around Lola, Gu Qingshan looked around, and finally said:

"Let's go!"
