In the middle of the devastated city, in the streets of the crossroads, there is a towering cave that abruptly occupies the perimeter. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

This thing, which shouldn't be in the city, exists here.

Puzzledly, the cave and the nearby buildings overlapped, and the structure of the cave contained some of the city's buildings, but those buildings were still intact and undamaged, as if the rocks were no longer there.

From the outside, you can see the overlapping of caves and buildings at the same time, and the two are intertwined at the same time, which is dazzling and dizzy after looking at them for a long time.

"Is this what you can't touch?"

Lin Yuan, who was sitting on the back of the flying dragon, overlooked the half-ruined city below.

After observing with the Void Spirit's Eye, he found that there were only traces of life in a few hidden places, and most of the citizens had either lost their lives or fled to distant places, and the city could be said to be destroyed.

"It looks like something substantial, but it's the same as the things in the neighborhood, and it's really uncomfortable to look at. ”

Lin Yuan's gaze left the huge cave more than ten meters high and looked at other places.

Between the ruins and broken walls, thousands of four-legged monsters roamed around.

The monsters were massive, two meters tall, hairless, gray skin as rough as granite, and their heads resembled those of fanged apes, with sharp claws on all four legs.

Some of the monsters are eating the corpses, and many more are destroying the things in the city, playing with them like toys.

"That's right! This is a phantom seed from the Netherworld!" Heras said a little nervously, "This is a beast ghost, I will never admit it!"

"Netherworld, beasts, what are they, do you know what they are?" asked Lily of the Valley, who was standing on the back of the dragon.

In order to avoid emitting magical light when flying, before coming to the city below, Lily of the Valley no longer flew alone, and rode the flying dragon with Lin Yuan in order to secretly observe the current situation of the city.

"Netherworld...... Hell is the same place as Hades, an incomplete world between the gap between the unreal and the real," Heras said with a complicated expression, "The half-plane created by the two biggest betrayers of the wizarding world, and the beasts and ghosts are the monsters that exist in the netherworld. ”

Seeing that Lily of the Valley was still puzzled, Lin Yuan took over the words, he had already known from Hera Si what the Netherworld was.

"About 6,000 years ago, there was a dragon king who was about to die, and a phoenix chief who was also about to die, in order to continue to live, they joined forces to do a great thing, they celebrated their birthday together, invited the other six dragon kings, the other three phoenix chiefs, even an elf king was also invited, of course, there were many other clansmen present, and then, the dragon king and the phoenix chief who were about to die, killed four dragon kings and a phoenix chief, and by the way, also killed the elf king, and many other descendants。 ”

Hearing Lin Yuan's endless explanation, Lily of the Valley was even more puzzled.

Lin Yuan waved his hand, indicating that he hadn't finished speaking.

"The Dragon King and the Phoenix have been planning for a long time, just to use the power of their compatriots and the Elf King to create a world where they can continue to live even if they are about to die, and that world is the so-called Netherworld. ”

Lily of the valley digested the message and nodded slowly.

"I remember that the lifespan of the true dragon clan is more than a thousand years on average, and the phoenix can even reach three thousand years old, even these long-lived races will be afraid of death and live by any means......"

"Isn't this a matter of course? A race with intelligence, who would want to die by themselves, the longer they live, the more afraid they are of death. ”

Lin Yuan shrugged disapprovingly.

"And in fact, these two traitors who killed a large number of compatriots, their plan was very successful, and now, six thousand years later, they are still alive and well in the Netherworld, and they can be said to be the biggest winners. ”

“...... How could there be such a good thing. ”

Heras, who was originally a dragon, sighed.

"The Netherworld is an incomplete world, the rules inside are broken and incomplete, the lives that stay there, they are all transformed on the boundary between the virtual and the real, and become phantom bodies without the concept of living, not alive, naturally not dead, can exist semi-immortally, but, in the Netherworld, they are all half-dreaming and half-awake, they can never leave the Netherworld, there is no freedom, this is just a stealing life in the mouth of human beings, can such a survival really be alive?"

"Freedom is lost, and the opportunity to exist is exchanged...... Is this the Netherworld?"

Lily of the valley couldn't respond to Heras's question, only to shake her head.

"But, how did the beasts and ghosts below appear? Didn't you say that the phantom species were half-asleep and half-awake? How did they come to this world when they couldn't leave over there?"

"Beasts and ghosts exist here, but they don't exist at the same time. ”

Lin Yuan pretended to smile mysteriously.

Without waiting for Lin Yuan to have enough appetite, Herass said the answer.

"The beasts and ghosts below, their bodies are still in the Netherworld, this is their shadow, and this is also the life of the Netherworld, the only way to temporarily come outside...... This is their projection, an isotope of the Netherworld itself. ”

Lin Yuan felt a little bored, and pursed his lips for Hera to continue explaining.

"That's why ordinary attacks can't hurt beasts, they themselves are beings between the virtual and the real, and the projection of the ontology allows them to unilaterally attack and interfere with reality, and they can't hurt them without special methods. ”

"I see, so, do you have a way to destroy the monsters below?" Seeing that Lin Yuan and Hera were so familiar with the phantom species, Lily of the Valley knew that there was no need to worry.

Lily of the Valley's strength is undoubtedly strong, but she can't hit the other party, no matter how powerful her strength is, it's useless, and she just released a strategic-level magic not long ago, and the magic power in her body is only one-tenth of the peak, so she can't cope with the current situation.

"The easiest way is to destroy that cave," Lin Yuan pointed to the big cave below, "The so-called projection must go through something before it can be revealed, and that cave that is so obvious is the projector of the beasts and ghosts that exist here, as long as there is no cave, the beasts and ghosts will all disappear." ”

"But, that cave ......," Lily of the Valley looked at the cave in the middle of the city, "it must be part of the illusion, right? Is there really a way to destroy that thing?"

This is exactly what Heras is worried about, and now she has no way to break through the line between the virtual and the real.

Growing up in a dragon environment, Heras grew up listening to stories about the Netherworld, and like a human fable, she was also a little afraid of the Netherworld, and this was not the first time she had faced it.

The eldest who gave birth to her died in a battle against the Netherworld in order to protect her as a child.

If I still have the power to slay dragons...... Herass clenched her hands.

The existence of the nether world is not a ghost, the phantom body is a life that exists between the virtual and the real, and the spirit can also use powerful magic to damage it, but the phantom body must need special means to break through the boundary between the virtual and the real.

The dragon-slaying power of the true dragon is one of the powers that can harm the existence of the Netherworld.

"Heras, in addition to that kind of power, there are many ways in the world to hurt the phantom body. ”

Heras looked up sharply, and she found that Lin Yuan had invaded her mind and forcibly read her thoughts.

"You...... What does that mean?"

"Heras, destroy that cave, you can do it now. ”

Lin Yuan's thoughts and thoughts passed into Heras's heart.

Heras understood in an instant.

Her body began to burn with blood-colored energy.

"Go, don't be afraid, Heras, you're strong now, stronger than you were before. ”

Lin Yuan grinned.

"As long as it exists in front of your eyes, even if it is a god, you can kill it, this is your power. ”
