Chapter 485: Seeing and Hearing (Asking for a Advance Ticket!Asking for a Monthly Pass!)
There was a city of Doom Guardians there, and the surviving Rift Demon used that to pique Quis's interest.
His life was thus extended for a moment.
Until he took the young blue dragon and passed through the portal hidden in the center of the snake tree together, and came to the plane of the twelve trees.
However, this is not because Quest is unloading the mill and killing the donkey, it is purely because the Rift Demon is trying to bite back and repay the virtue with resentment.
After arriving at the Twelve Trees, the guy naively thought that Quis, who looked like a mortal adventurer, would be affected by this plane.
Ordinary mortals, if they don't have a strong tendency to chaos and evil camps, feel weak and powerful in the Twelve Trees Metropolis.
The Rift took advantage of this opportunity and launched a counterattack against Quest, fleeing as much as he could, even if he couldn't kill his opponent.
It's a pity that the moment he made a move, his wish was disappointed, and with it, there was a glimmer of life for him.
"It's a demon," Quest complained about throwing away the severed head, "I won't be given a chance to spare your life." ”
The headless remains lay on the ground, and it was not long before they were discovered by other demonic "pilgrims", and then the corpse was destroyed in a very environmentally friendly manner.
At this time, Quis had already carried the folded glider and mixed into a group of mortals in the material plane.
He didn't know where the team came from, but where it was heading, and it was difficult for him to guess wrong.
"It's better to see than to hear," Quest sighed, "The Twelve Trees are truly one of the most mortal planes in the Bottomless Abyss. ”
In addition to this team, there are several regular teams winding along the land as far as the eye can see.
The roads they walked were all paved with gray bricks, and it was clear that someone had specially planned and built this plane.
On both sides of the road are a number of Pandiko trees with dark green leaves and red buds, some of which have bloomed.
As a rare "friendly" plant in the Abyss, the Pandico tree does not attack, but it emits a unique scent.
Or a special "scent"—a sweet and greasy mixture of garbage, incense, rotten flesh, and floral scents, but not disgusting.
Pedestrians walking on the road, breathing in this fragrance, have a deep and intoxicated expression on their faces.
Of course, Quest is clearly an exception.
Not only did he not take a deep breath like the others, but he also took out the "energy ointment" that the ogre witch doctor had configured, and wiped it on the wing of his nose.
The faint mint smell similar to "wind oil essence" dispelled the smell emanating from the Pandico tree, and made Quis's mind much clearer.
Out of curiosity, he dug out a small piece of "energy ointment" and shot it into the nostril of a mortal beside him with a flick of his fingers.
The man jerked it into his lungs, coughed involuntarily, and staggered to the ground.
But at this moment, a rift demon hovering in the sky noticed this "abnormality" and suddenly swooped down and grabbed the mortal.
The demon grinned and poked its beak into the man's skull, and his arm-like forelimbs grabbed the other's shoulders and lifted him into the air.
Seeing this happen, Quest didn't stop it, and didn't even cast a concerned look.
He didn't want to expose himself yet, and besides, the mortals who came to the Twelve Trees Plane were not good people, and they were not worth rescuing.
Maybe it's because the twelve trees are so small, or maybe it's because the portal Quest uses is located very close to the center of the plane.
After walking two hourglasses in the shade of the Pandico tree, he saw the end of the road, which was the end of the trip.
Twelve-tiered large basalt altars, layer upon layer, cascade down the hillside to the end of the road at their feet.
Around the altar was a ring of tall trees, and a large cloud of mist rose from the canopy, drifting slowly upwards
In this phenomenon of fog, the whole altar is blue-gray, and it is connected to the sky, and the two are blended, and it seems boundless.
At the end of the road, there is a checkpoint made of a beautiful striped canopy, in which two toll collectors are seated.
They turned out to be mortals, but they weren't humans: a Slicklin Mantis and a fallen half-sheep.
"Name, where do you come from...... Just fill it out and don't waste precious time if you want to visit the altar. ”
Lying on a rattan rocking chair, his recurved hooves and feet on the table in front of him, the half-sheep man said with some amusement.
"There is a weighing scale, weigh your catties and pay the prayer according to the value shown. ”
He chewed on a piece of Pandico root in his mouth, and glanced at Quest with lazy eyes, "If you don't have money, go make money first......
The Slicklin Mantis tapped his mandibular teeth—they were speechless, and communication between their kind was done by making contact with each other, exchanging pheromones—in agreement, and shoved a Pandiko leaf in front of Quest.
It was a contract, and the words on it were written in the Abyssal language, so it was naturally not binding. The content is more similar to a letter of introduction, and the main purpose is to introduce the contractor to work in a place called "Entropy City".
Underneath the deed, there is also a blank space for signatures. Obviously, most of the people who ran into the bottomless abyss were not worth much, and most of them could not take out the disaster coins corresponding to their weight to pay for the cost of visiting the altar.
Therefore, if they still want to go on a "pilgrimage", they all have to go to this "entropy city" for a while to do odd jobs.
In fact, since the half-sheep and the mantis people have been staying here, I have basically never seen a few guys who can afford to pay for it.
But every day, he still has to do a routine to give some care to the "dumb heads" of the twelve trees who come from various positions (this is the disdainful name of the Seal City for the mortals of the material plane, these two people who came to the bottomless abyss from the Seal City are not used to using "babas").
As you can imagine, their patience, if at all, has long since been exhausted by the daily explanations that have left nothing.
"Sign without money, don't waste time......"
The half-sheep man was halfway through his words, and suddenly he stopped so hard that he almost bit his tongue.
“...... What do you want to do!"
As if by magic, Quest pulled an elongated serrated dagger from his waist and thrust it into the table at the checkpoint.
"What's your last name?"
"Chigusa Cup ......" jumped down from the rattan chair, and the half-sheep man quickly hid behind the mantis man, "...... Why do you ask this?"
"Don't play tricks, you're not the only one who thinks you're very good at fighting, but you haven't been able to make it past a round in front of 'Silky'. ”
The Slicklin Mantis seemed to understand his companion's words, and all four arms were armed at once. Always ready to attack.
"I'm a big believer in that. After all, his first round included a mantis halberd and two triangular shuttles...... A total of three attacks. ”
