Pain Hell - Blade Mountain.

The huge mountain with various huge blades inserted into it, with a total height of about 5,000 meters, belongs to the highest mountain of the fourth level of hell.

There are no mountain trails to speak of, and if you want to reach the top, you have to use these blades as a ladder to climb the rock.

It is rumored that in ancient times, a war broke out between a race of giants in the fourth hell, and the corpses of giants and their weapons were piled up on this Blade Mountain.

When you climb to the top of Blade Mountain, you will find that the entire huge mountain has a mountain imperial city that can accommodate a million people.

Countless guards in light armor with a single horn on their foreheads patrolling back and forth from the top of Blade Blade Mountain...... In addition, the airspace is also home to a large number of demons riding bats or hell pterodactyls, who are responsible for guarding the perimeter of Blade Mountain.

At this moment, a scout from the non-headquarters riding a giant black bat rushed to Blade Mountain.

After displaying the scout's identity badge and explaining the situation in detail, he descended into Blade Mountain under the leadership of the escort team...... At the bottom of the Imperial City, there is a demon king-level existence that rules the [Pain Meat Hell].

On a bench with countless famous swords, sat a lonely king.

The scout was in charge of observing the border area, and gave a detailed account of what he had seen.

A harsh, powerful voice came from the seat: "There is a human prisoner who has crossed the [Piercing Plains] alone...... What level is it? ”

"The subordinates are incompetent, and when they found out, the target had penetrated deep into the Piercing Plains, and because they were wearing a "Hell Trench Coat" and suppressed their aura, they could not confirm their level."

"Does the trench coat have the 'Friars of Hell' logo on it?"

"Nope."

The Demon King sitting on the throne frowned slightly, as if he was a little puzzled, "If you are strong, you will generally not walk across the plains.

But he is not a friar of hell either.

What is an ordinary human prisoner doing in a monastery? ”

The scout asked, "My lord, how to deal with it?" ”

"Just keep the normal border patrol, when it comes to the monastery, we don't have to worry about it."

"Okay."

…………

【Piercing Plains】

In the depths, there was the sound of chain bombardment.

Lu Ran, who was wearing a hell windbreaker, swung out the heavy iron chain of his left arm, directly crushing a strange spiked creature in front of him to smithereens.

The essence (EXP experience points) that flows out of the monster's body is only slightly inhaled.

Just then, another spiked humanoid monster jumped from the top of the pile of bones on one side.

This time, there is no need to land and do it...... The pig's head hanging on his waist instantly became larger, and he swallowed the monster in one bite.

Bite!

After chewing, Zhu Gong spit out an indigestible steel needle.

When this spiked monster is killed, most of its flesh disappears, leaving only a special steel needle on the ground...... Lu Ran's intuition told him that this thing might be useful, so he temporarily kept it in his stomach pouch as a trophy.

At present, Lu Ran has collected 109 steel needles.

"Whew...... I've been walking for three days and three nights, when will it be the end? Fortunately, I prepared enough dry food and water in the "stomach pouch" in advance. Otherwise, they will have to eat the flesh and blood of this spiky monster to stay alive. ”

After getting roughly familiar with the strength of the monsters in the Piercing Plains, as well as some natural traps, Lu Ran ran forward the whole way.

Finally, an hour later, we reached the edge of the plain.

Cliff...... The base of the thousand-meter-high cliff is covered with dense spikes.

Lu Ran stood on the edge of the cliff, staring into the abyss.

It seems that in the abyss full of spikes, some kind of giant carnivorous monster still lingers...... Once dropped, there is little chance of survival.

And on the cliff, just 10,000 meters away, on the opposite side, is the final destination of Lu Ran's journey to hell - [Hell Monastery].

It's completely different from imagining a small church or a temple in isolation.

All you can see is a high black wall.

The black high wall stretches horizontally for thousands of meters, and is nearly 100 meters high, surrounding the [Hell Monastery], and it is impossible to see the situation inside.

All that can be seen is a group of ascetics dressed in robes resembling monk's robes, kneeling around the black wall...... A standard prostration is performed every five steps.

There are ascetics whose knees are completely worn out and white.

There are even a few who have broken their legs during the never-ending pilgrimage...... He moved slowly with only his upper body, but he kept his worship all the time.

They surround the black wall and worship almost endlessly.

"Maybe that's how you get the monastery's approval?" Or maybe it's one of the ways to hone the consciousness of ordinary ascetics in the monastery...... Could it be that I have to kneel like this for a month of study?'

Lu Ran's knees tingled when he thought of this.

"It's coming...... Let's get over it! I know the needle seniors, so I think I have some privileges. ”

Lu Ran walked along the cliff for thousands of meters and found a separate suspension bridge that connected to the monastery 10,000 meters away.

It's just that this suspension bridge has no pedals at all, and even the connected hemp rope is in a withered state, and once you reach out and grab it, the hemp rope will break.

If you accidentally fall into the abyss, there is no chance of survival at all.

This drawbridge is the only connecting channel to the Monastery of Hell...... Lu Ran soon found a suggestive stone tablet crossing the suspension bridge near the suspension bridge.

[Thorn of pain, connecting to the other side]

"A thorn in pain? Could it be! ”

Lu Ran hurriedly took out the steel thorns collected in the stomach pouch, and each steel thorn came from the spiked creatures that Lu Ran had killed on the piercing plain.

Just as Lu Ran took out all the spikes, one hundred of them were immediately integrated into the stone tablet, leaving Lu Ran with eight left...... This is a pass to the monastery.

With the integration of acupuncture, the suspension bridge, which was originally without pedals, immediately grew spikes and became pedals

It should be noted that these spikes are vertical and float in the air.

It means that every time Lu Ran takes a step, the soles of his feet will be pierced by spikes, and the spikes will pierce into the flesh and bones until they can bear his own weight...... And then take the next step, and be penetrated again.

"This!! Is this the basic requirement to go to the monastery? ”

Lu Ran knew very well that the core idea of the [Hell Monastery] was 'suffering'.

If he opportunistically passes through the suspension bridge, Lu Ran is likely to be turned away......

"From the very beginning I was mentally prepared that when I chose the path of 'monk', it meant that I would feel endless pain...... This pain in the flesh is nothing.'"

Lu Ran stepped out.

Because the inside of his left arm contains iron chains, Lu Ran's real weight is 400 pounds.

Step on the spike jumping bridge, and the spike directly penetrates the soles of the foot, piercing the tendons and bones...... The spikes reached the kneecap level to bear Lu Ran's weight.

Lu Ran's cheeks were crimson and his muscles were bulging, but he didn't make any sound.

With the pain, keep going......
