Chapter 4: The Devil's Horn
"Also, please note one more thing!" Beruteres hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "If you are unlucky, in a remote corner of the city, you meet some apostles who have failed several missions in a row, and your strength is insufficient, it is best not to risk resisting. ”
Qin Lun smiled slightly, he had thought of this question a long time ago.
Although the old demon said that the new apostles were protected by a certain amount of time, there will always be some people in the city who jump over the wall in a hurry. With such a strict legal system of the Earth Federation, it will produce such unscrupulous murderers like them, not to mention the devil's horns that follow the law of the jungle!
As the two spoke, the team walked out of the valley and along the mountain range. After turning the foot of a mountain, everyone's eyes lit up. There was already another group of demon soldiers waiting, and in the middle of the empty field were several huge beasts.
These giant beasts have bear-headed cow bodies, and special basket-type saddles are placed on their broad backs, and each saddle can seat almost seven or eight people, and it seems that they should be the mounts that pick up and drop off the apostles.
Beruteres walked back to the front of the group and gave a brief explanation to the apostles. The terrain of the Scorching Plains is exceptional, and it is difficult for ordinary locomotives and mounts to adapt, and only this large-sized brute bear beast can walk on the scorching ground for long periods of time.
However, at this time, the apostles' attention was not focused on the brute bear beast, but they all looked up at the end of their eyes, a huge city looming in the mist.
Berusese smiled slightly, not minding the apostles' ignorance, but just commanding the demon guards to invite everyone into the basket saddle of the brute bear beast. After more than ten minutes, the team set off again, walking towards the behemoth in the fog.
After about half an hour, the true face of the behemoth finally appeared in front of everyone's eyes. It's a floating city that's a whole lap bigger than the Moonlight Forest. Compared to the scenic and nature-filled Moonlight Forest, this floating city has an eerie atmosphere.
Inside the transparent crystal shield, there is a black mist, and some hideous and strange non-human creatures can even be seen faintly, and the whole city is like a ghost.
The base of the Moonlight Forest is equipped with a huge mechanical arm, and beneath this floating city is a thick layer of jelly-like material that looks like a wriggling snail as it travels across the continent.
On closer inspection, this layer of jelly-like material seems to be something like the tentacles of countless octopuses, which seems to be weak and boneless, but in fact it is strong and powerful, easily carrying the entire floating city on its back.
"This is a soft body shapeshifter cultivated by our demon clan after spending countless resources and demon cores, and the magic core it swallows every year is an astronomical amount, and in times of war, it can form a protective layer outside the city." Beluthes didn't know when he had come to Qin Lun's side again and proudly introduced.
"Is this the Devil's Horn?" Qin Lun's face was a little ugly, the appearance of this apostle city was too bad, not to mention the other apostles, even he was a little regretful about leaving the Moonlight Forest now.
"Hehe, this is our Demon Race's own floating city, the Scorching Cliffs, which only hosts the Apostles of the Dark Race. As for the Devil's Horn......" Beruses, mysteriously, reached out and pointed upward.
"Heavenly?" Qin Lun raised his head to look, but unfortunately there was a thick smoke in the sky above the Scorching Plains, and he couldn't see the true face of the Demon Horn for the time being.
Beruses smiled and said nothing, at this time, the apostles on the backs of the other brute bear beasts were probably also explained by the demon guards, and their hearts were a little calmer, and they were secretly glad that they didn't really have to live in this eerie floating city.
The procession descends the huge "Yongdao" lowered by the floating city into the Scorching Cliff, which resembles the intestines of an animal. After the hooves of the brute bear beast stepped on it, it would produce a slight twitch, which made everyone look sick to their stomachs, and they were glad that they were sitting on the back of the brute bear beast and did not have to go on a trip in person.
Luckily, the apostle team didn't have to go deep into the city, just in a reception hall in front of the door, and they could directly enter the devil's horn through the guò teleportation array.
The reception hall is dimly lit, surrounded by bone lamps made of animal bones. In fact, at this time, some of the apostles had already made up their minds that if the Demon Horn was also an environment like the Scorching Cliffs, they might have to retreat and return to the Moonlight Forest.
While the help provided by the Moonlight Forest is certainly not as great as that of the Apostle City, a good rest environment is more conducive to mental relaxation after the Atlas mission, which is also very important. No one wants to rest in an eerie environment after life and death.
The teleportation circle in the reception hall is circular and huge, and there are also some shiny magic crystals placed around it.
However, Qin Lun noticed that these magic crystals, both in terms of quality and size, were inferior to the magic crystals used in the previous elven teleportation array, and it was estimated that the teleportation distance was very short, so there was no need to use high-quality magic crystals.
As the magic circle runes gradually lit up, something happened that none of the apostles had expected.
This teleportation was obviously different from anything they'd ever experienced before!
Although they also entered a teleportation channel similar to dimensional space, the teleportation speed was not very fast, as if they were just riding a high-speed locomotive, and even the scenery of the outer world of the suspended continent was still clearly visible.
Although the apostles felt like hell when they were on the scorching plains, now that they were high in the sky, looking at the strange creatures rushing and jumping on the continent and the active volcanoes erupting violently, they had another feeling, and even a sense of swelling like an ant under their feet.
This feeling is fleeting, and there is a thick layer of smoke and fog in the air at an altitude of more than 1,000 meters above the ground due to the existence of many active volcanoes on the scorching plain. After passing through this layer of gray smoke, the scenery on the suspended continent could no longer be seen, making everyone suddenly feel at a loss.
Bright sunlight filled the sky again, and more white clouds made of water vapor finally replaced the dirty and gray volcanic dust fog below.
"Master, look, what's that?" Di Di suddenly gently pulled the corner of Qin Lun's clothes.
As soon as Qin Lun turned around, his eyes lit up. A kilometer to the upper left, a huge sky city appeared out of nowhere.
The celestial city resembles the summit of a mountain that has been truncated and then floats in the air in an inverted cone. The irregular peaks below are floating and sinking in the white clouds, and the white clouds seem to surround the upside-down peaks like ribbons, just like the Penglai Immortal Island above the nine heavens.
The terrain above the Sky Castle is flat, and through the oval crystal shield outside, the numerous tall buildings inside can be faintly visible.
Unlike the Moonlight Forest and the Scorching Cliff that Qin Lun had already seen, it was probably due to the violent wind in the sky, and on the crystal shield of this sky city, there were a total of five huge curved corners evenly buckled on the crystal shield, and the tips of the horns converged in the center of the top of the shield.
It is like five demonic horns guarding the city, and it is like a huge palm gently supporting the mountain, and it is nothing more than that!
Qin Lun took a deep breath, and the corner of his eye observed that all the apostles' faces were mixed with a thick sense of surprise and excitement, if it wasn't still on the way to teleport, he was afraid that there was already a sigh around him.
Until now, the apostles still don't understand that this is the real apostolic city - the devil's horn!
Qin Lun glanced at the satisfied old demon beside him, no wonder he didn't have the slightest excuse for the Scorching Plains and Scorching Cliffs, and he didn't even mention the true environment of the Demon Horn, allowing the apostles to be dissatisfied and guess for no reason.
Facts speak louder than words, and there is envy only when there is contrast!
Let the apostles walk a little way, see the harsh environment of the scorching plains and the eerie scorching cliffs, and then use this slow space to teleport to let the apostles see the floating city, the devil's horn.
In this comparison, except for the dark attribute apostles, I am afraid that no one will find fault with the demon horn anymore.
The image of a demon in the books of the Earth Federation is simply ridiculous, who said that this is an evil creature that only brings destruction and killing. Being able to come up with such a sensationalism method to arouse the feelings of the apostles, it is no wonder that the moonlit night elves will be driven into a dead end by them.
The demon who came up with this plan can be called a genius in psychology and hype planning, even if it is placed in the Earth Federation, it is estimated that he can be the CEO of a big planning company.
No matter how slow the space teleportation is, the distance of more than 1,000 meters will only take more than ten seconds. The apostles' eyes flashed in front of them, and when their bodies once again penetrated out of the dimensional space and condensed into entities, the original doubts and dissatisfaction had disappeared, and they talked and laughed about their new home.
As for some of the apostles' desire to return to the Moonlight Forest, the more disgruntled the apostles were, the more urgent they were to stay in the Devil's Horn. Even Qin Lun's heart was faintly excited, and his anticipation was much stronger than at the beginning.
The place where the apostles are now located is the reception hall of the Devil's Horn. It is different from the beautiful garden style of the Moonlight Forest, and the dirty environment around the scorching cliff like animal intestines ~ walls is also different, and it is full of modern science and technology.
The surrounding walls are made up of bright and clean metal panels with laser lights embedded in them. Around the hall stood a number of demonic guards in heavy armor, giving it a solemn feel.
While the apostles were talking and looking around, a demonic girl with a bewitching appearance and wearing professional women's clothes entered the reception hall.
The professional little suit outlines the devilish girl's devilish figure, and a pair of huge white rabbits on the chest seem to break through the white shirt at any time and jump out of the big V neck of the dress.
As soon as such a demonic girl full of uniform temptation entered the hall, she immediately attracted the attention of many apostles. Even Qin Lun stopped thinking and looked at it a few more times.
"Your Excellency Qin Lun, she is a succubus, and there are many succubus girls in the entertainment area of the Devil's Horn who provide special services. If you have time, you can visit there! Qin Lun's ears remembered Beruses' seductive words.
"Humph!" On the other side, the only elf who had followed the apostles into the demon's horn finally let out a cold snort of displeasure for the first time.
Qin Lun turned his head and glanced at Adeline, who was full of unhappiness, and sighed in his heart, beautiful females really could never coexist!
