Chapter 648: The Abyssal Gaze
Abyss.
Buried Bone Plains.
The plain, which is more than 2,000 li long and 800 li wide, is roughly a standard rectangle, surrounded by steep cliffs, and active volcanoes of all sizes are like abscesses, densely surrounding this blood-colored plain.
The plains are as smooth as a mirror, and the color is red, a few points redder than blood.
For countless years, countless creatures have died here, crushed and squeezed into the ground, beaten violently again and again, bombarded again and again, countless terrible forces have knocked on this plain year after year, day after day, and forced this plain to be polished to be incomparably flat and smooth, which can be used as a mirror and can reflect the tiniest pores on people's faces.
To the east of the Bone Plain, in the middle of countless volcanoes, there are countless large and small, strange and strange buildings full of various alien flavors.
All kinds of strange abyssal tribes are like dense ant colonies, densely arranged among the volcanoes.
They frolicked, fought, shouted loudly and made noise, and also opened bazaars to trade goods, and even appeared taverns, green houses, casinos and other entertainment venues, although messy, but there was an inexplicable vitality.
On the west side of the plain, a majestic city stands majestically.
This boxy city was more than a hundred miles long and wide, and the walls were one and a half miles high, and countless metal cones that shimmered with cold light poked out of the city walls, and on the dense barbed cones, there were still fragments of clothing and armor, rotting flesh and bones.
On the city walls, groups of Terran soldiers in heavy armor patrol back and forth.
On the battlements of each city wall, there are a large or small caliber mortars, of which the largest caliber mortar is more than 1,200 millimeters, and the smallest caliber is also around 600 millimeters.
The city wall is one and a half miles high, and at this height, even if you throw a pebble down, you can easily smash an iron shield.
Even if a large-caliber mortar shell is fired from this height, even if there is no black-gunpowder stuffed inside, the volume and weight of this shell alone can imagine how lethal it is.
In addition to the large-caliber mortar cannon, every few hundred feet on the city wall, there is a primeval light cannon with a faint glow and a strange shape. These light cannons constantly emit terrifying elemental fluctuations, and it is conceivable that they are in a state of activation at any time.
In addition to these mortar cannons and light cannons, in the hands of the soldiers stationed on the city wall, all kinds of advanced flintlock rifles, all kinds of strong bows and crossbows are readily available.
Even, on the lookout of the city wall, a little higher behind, stands a huge catapult with a gate.
These massive catapults, more than 300 feet high, were not covered with stones, but with finely carved iron balls with a diameter of more than a thousand millimeters. On the surface of these iron balls, countless sharp three-edged armor-piercing cones are densely welded.
At the edge of these sharp cones, there are even runic streamers flickering.
With such a height, such a volume, and such an iron ball forged at any cost, you can imagine the power when it roars down from a high altitude...... If the ordinary sixth order was hit by such an iron ball, I was afraid that my bones would be broken and my tendons would be broken, and I would spit out a few mouthfuls of blood.
A middle-aged man in black scaly soft armor, a sword with a slight curve at his waist, and a Hydra badge on his chest leaned against a walled battlement, staring coldly into the distance.
His pupils widened, and even though he was two thousand miles apart, he could still see the faces of the abyssal creatures in the outermost part of the volcanoes to the east.
"Within two months, the rift in the space to Medland could open at any moment."
"A once-in-a-decade change of guard...... The defenses of the City of God Cry are sure to be in trouble...... This isn't the first time we've gone haywire. ”
"I propose to double the frequency and intensity of daily patrols."
A middle-aged man with blond hair and blue eyes, with a hint of vicissitudes in his eyes, was also leaning on the battlements of the city wall and yawning lazily: "This is something you have to worry about...... I've submitted my report and I'm going back. ”
"Thirty years...... Ah, I admit that it was indeed my fault for peeping at the eldest princess bathing back then...... But after 30 years of living in this ghost place, all the military exploits I have accumulated have been washed away. ”
"I ...... Innocent! ”
"Thirty years, hehe, I will return to the Ice Sea Kingdom with a large sum of money and restore the deprived title...... Then, enjoy life! ”
The blonde man smiled leisurely, "When I was escorted to this ghost place, I had just stepped into the sixth order...... I'm a bit important to a powerful kingdom, but not unsacrificeable. ”
"But now, I'm already a ninth-order legend! I have stood at the limit of what a mortal can achieve. ”
"I've even touched the threshold of a demigod, and with a little effort, I can become a demigod...... Aha, my brother, demigod! ”
"Whether it's a ninth-order legend or a demigod...... Plus the salary I deserve for the past thirty years, and the rewards that I can redeem for my military exploits...... A strong man with a net worth of hundreds of millions, and he is so personable and young. ”
The blonde man's face flushed with a smile: "I should enjoy my life to the fullest." ”
"In those small countries, get three or five young and beautiful princesses, and then take in dozens of young maids, make a big manor, plant my favorite roses, and then spend all day in that rose bush!"
"The next thing is to have children, choose two filial ones, talented, obedient and sensible ones, and train them to be stronger than when I first came in, so that they can make contributions in the abyss and earn astronomical salaries and rewards...... In this way, when I have almost exhausted the money on hand, there will be their money to continue to provide for me Hu Tianhu Emperor. ”
"In this way, there is no end to my children and grandchildren, and my extravagance is also endless......"
The middle-aged man in black soft armor couldn't help but roll his eyes for a while: "Jack! ”
The blonde man smiled at his companion: "Dear Hans, what do you want to say?" You guy who doesn't understand the joy of life at all, do you still want to continue to study the Abyss Battlefield and the City of God Crying? ”
"What is the abyss, why does the abyss battlefield exist, what are so many elites from so many of our countries fighting here year after year, day after day, with so many unlucky people?"
Jack sighed and waved his hand vigorously, "What are you doing with these things?" ”
"It doesn't matter what the abyss is, when the abyss battlefield appeared, which king-eight-egg he built the City of God Cry, and what he is fighting bloody battles year after year, day by day."
"I've been here for thirty years, and you've been here for sixty years!"
"Hell, Hans, even if you were already a ninth-order legend forty years ago...... Even if your life is long enough for a mortal, sixty years of good times...... That's enough! ”
"It's too late to report now."
"Go back, go back...... Come with me and go back to Medland. ”
"We can go to the beach, listen to the sound of the waves, listen to the calls of the dolphins."
"We can go to the forest, smell the green leaves after the rain, and listen to the sound of grass sprouts."
"We can go to the grassland, carry a shotgun and hunt larks with marksmanship, instead of using extraordinary strength to blow up one ugly, hideous head after another, splashed all over with blood and brains."
"Even, let's pull a few old guys, team up to go to the capital of a big country, get a club, find a group of beautiful big girls, and have fun with each other!"
"A good life awaits us, why not go back?"
Jack looked at Hans very seriously: "You saved my life, you taught me how to live in this hellish place...... I also blocked the knife for you, dragged you back from the pile of corpses, and then saved you. ”
"You are my benefactor, but also my teacher, you are my light in the confusion, I owe you a lot...... I hope that I will have a chance to repay you something, even a little? ”
"With your merits, if you go back to Delun, you will at least be a real duke."
"You should go back to Medland and enjoy your life...... Even if you have more obsession with the abyss, you will be impatient in the future, and you can come again! Look at our top bosses, those old monsters, didn't they all go back to Medland and then run back to kill people and set fires? ”
Jack smiled lightly: "The abyss is not without you. ”
"I've inquired, the big rotation once in a decade, this time the high-end power returns to Medland, and there is still a small half. You go and report now, and you still have time to go back. ”
"Ah, think about it, with your years of combat and your military exploits over the years, you can at least go back with hundreds of millions of golden marks...... Her Majesty, the terrible Empress, will make you a real duke, and you can do whatever you want in your own realm, and even make laws...... I think the first night-power-law is a very good idea. ”
Hans rolled his eyes, and waved his hand vigorously, "Oh, come on, Jack, that kind of hell law, it's all rotten stuff from the dark ages of Medland." ”
"I'd like to stay a few more years...... I always felt that this damn land, except that killing is killing, there must be some mystery in it. I am here on orders from His Majesty, so ......"
Before Hans could finish his words, a terrible blood light rose up from the sky, far away, at least three or four thousand miles away from this plain of bones.
The diameter of that blood light was at least a hundred miles in size, and from such a distance, even the most powerful cannon fodder soldiers could see that this blood light was tumbling and heading straight into the sky, breaking through a huge void vortex in the dark clouds with the smell of sulfur in the air.
"Wow, the Abyss Rift has opened...... However, this head is a bit big. ”
Jack stared blankly at the bloody light.
"No, something is wrong...... This is not an abyssal rift that opens naturally, this is an abyss passage that someone has opened with a secret technique......" Hans was extremely experienced, and his finger tapped in the air, and his face turned pale.
"That direction, the corresponding spatial coordinates, should be the port of Tulum...... The port of Tulum, damn it, forty years ago, the port of Tulum was already the domain of the empire! ”
