Chapter 141: Barren Plains

On the barren plains, lightning and thunder roared. The pouring black rain fell overwhelmingly, and in the blink of an eye, there was an ocean above the grass. In the distance, a huge plantain greedily absorbed the poisonous rainwater, and soon it was corroded and paralyzed, revealing a spring contained in it. The spring was once the fountain of life in the barren plains, but now it is the largest source of pollution.

Hearing about Aried's words yesterday made me worry about Mercury's situation, and wondered if the decision to hand over the underworld to her would hurt her. The underworld is a world of subrogation of the strong, and as the king of the underworld, you have to constantly accept the challenges of other strong people. The fate of the loser is unimaginable, and it is not clear whether Mercury can bear it.

Although I am the king of Hades and she is the consul, I have discovered that I know very little about her until today. It wasn't long ago that I figured out the identity of her little girl, and I had asked her about her past before, but she didn't answer, giving people a feeling of silently bearing everything, which made me very worried. Unconsciously, I remembered a casual conversation between Lin Xinyue and me, hiding the great achievements of the undead heroes at the time of the establishment of the capital at the end of the past in the barren land. Mercury is the guardian of the Tower of the Dead, and the sacrifice to the Tower of Doom necessarily requires absolute honesty, and perhaps I can learn about Mercury's past from there.

The totem of the undead lies beneath the fountain of life in the barren plains, and to find it must leap into the polluted fountain of life. But the water was so poisonous that it would be no different from killing myself if I jumped straight into it. But fortunately, the Terran priest has found a vine to purify the poison in order to purify this area, and is already on his way back.

I went to Doom and asked carefully about the situation in the totem, but Doom himself couldn't figure out the situation. Thankfully, he remembered how he got in there unharmed and gave me a totemic flag. I thanked him and turned to the purified spring.

Perhaps the Terran priests were too sloppy, and they walked away without doing anything but bathing in the spring water en masse. When I entered, it was still the same as it was, and even the venom with its powerful contamination was kept out by the barrier.

The walls of the cave contain a record of the undead from the day of their birth to the death of the poisonous dragon Nighod in the barren plains. It is rumored that the poison dragon Nighold was a foodie, and after devouring the roots of the world tree and the corpses of the gods in his world, he ran to the far north planet and was killed. But the real record is that he came from the Dragon Continent and was once one of the strongest guardians there. After the fall of the Dragon Continent, in order to take revenge on Harris, he drowned himself in poison. Because his life was short, he came to the extreme northern planet with a poisonous body to take revenge.

Records of Mercury are included in the Guardians of the Tower of the Dead, which details how Mercury killed Gunlus. There is a very surprising thing here, the Blood Demon King Syrius is actually the child of Mercury after the split, which is no wonder why Mercury was sad when he heard that Syrius died at the hands of the red sunset.

"Dark clouds of smoke enveloped the Land of the Dead, thunder drowned out the raging flames, and the world of the dead changed hands, ushering in a more powerful messenger. ”

The description on the cave wall records Mercury's killing of Gunlus, and next to Mercury's name, Mercury's strength level is noted like the other Guardians, Mercury's danger rating is five stars, and the only one on her level is the Arctic Ice Dragon Ared. It is not ordinary people who make such comments, but the book of darkness suspended in the hands of the goddess.

If there is no error in the record, it means that Mercury is far more powerful than I have observed, but the problem is that I have not found a single clue in the ten thousand years I have spent with her. Mercury's figure kept flashing in my mind, and suddenly I felt that the figure of this gentle little girl was shrouded in a layer of fog.

Maybe I'm too worried, didn't she have a good life before I defeated her and became the king of Hades? Maybe she didn't need me at all, but I just wishfully thought that this archon was very dependent on me. I stroked the pattern on the wall, caressing Mercury's blackened figure, exaggerated depicting the black curtain that covered this hell.

Just when I was thinking about it, I felt the unique mental fluctuations from the Terran priests. I don't know what their reason is, they turn back and discover the secret of this spring, but it really doesn't do them any good. It didn't take long for me to hear the heart-rending howls of the humans, presumably they triggered the "Black Guard", the big dog was very vicious.

The undead totem holds a lot more secrets than I ever imagined, and here I even saw the scene where they defeated the Archangel of the Upper World, the Deep Blue Blade and the Dark Star, two characters who had awakened five thousand years ago and used the war-clan's robot warfare to start a sci-fi war between the War-Clan, the Terrans, and other races.

According to Doomsday, there should be a Book of Death in the center of the totem lair, and I followed the guidance of the totem banner and followed the narrow passage to get there, but there was no trace of the book on the central desk. I looked around the desk and saw no signs of theft.

At this moment, the totem flag fluttered on its own as if it had been induced, levitating above the desk, turning into a streamer and injecting into the desk. It was a wordless book suspended on the desk, and lines of golden text appeared as my fingers flipped over.

It's a book with no physical carrier, and the content of the record is roughly the same as what I've learned about the history of the undead. Of course, it also contains a lot of ancient spells that the undead possessed during their heyday, but none of them appealed to me, but it should have attracted a lot to the Terran priests who rushed here.

Since it was so boring, I withdrew the totem banner and prepared to leave here, but the totem flag suddenly went berserk, and no matter how much I tried to chant the spell, it was no longer under my control. The arc of electricity continued to shine around the flag, which was the rhythm to self-detonate. I had no choice but to fly away from the spring and land on the wide canopy of trees in the distance.

A column of water rose to the sky, and the falling mist moistened everything, and everything skyrocketed, and in the blink of an eye, it grew into a jungle. Not all of the Terran priests escaped, and most of them were buried in the springs. Those who survived were lucky enough to peel off the tangled vines and emerge from the spring, and saw such a strange sight as if they were frightened birds.

Although it has no real significance for the entire battle situation, the strength of the Terran priest has been reduced by half here, which has somewhat reduced the pressure on other guarded areas and enhanced the momentum of our army.
