Chapter Seventy-Two: The Demon Camp
Chapter Seventy-Two: The Demon Camp
"It only erupts three or four times a year, and the timing is very regular, and it's not more than a month before the last outbreak, so it won't erupt. Although the giant hoof was panting tiredly, he still swore an oath. "There are nine soul furnaces in Burning Hell, and it is said that all of them are like this, and there can be no mistake. ”
Morey glanced at the lava on the volcano that had not yet fully solidified, and couldn't help but touch his chin. "But"
"Don't think about it, this is the magma of the Soul Furnace, it's normal for anyone to be scared when they see it for the first time!" said Giant Hoof, disapprovingly.
Elliot glanced up at the volcano and said in agreement. "When I was a child, I also heard that the legend has it that during the endless years of Burning Hell, there were only three abnormal outbursts in the Soul Furnace. This kind of thing can't be encountered for millions of years, I don't think there is anything to worry about, if this can be caught up, it is estimated that the luck will be killed by lightning even in broad daylight. ”
Although he always felt that it was inappropriate, Morey had no choice but to nod when he heard them say this.
From a distance, the volcano is already majestic and terrifying, but when viewed up close, it only makes people feel so small! From the foot of the mountain, there is no summit at all, the sky is covered with volcanic ash, and the sky is black and oppressive. The entire volcano pierced the pitch-black sky from the halfway up the mountainside, and rushed straight up, far from its peak.
Standing at the foot of the mountain and looking up, Morey felt that the day seemed to have fallen halfway!
It was as if the black sky had collapsed entirely, turning into a rough cliff, traversing the east and west of the earth, and it was impossible to cross it, and if it had not been for the distant view of it, Morey would not have even imagined that it was a volcano!
The surrounding rocks are all charred black, but there is a faint metallic texture, even if it is far from the crater, it feels hot to the touch.
Since two days ago, the temperature has risen dramatically, and the tiring nature of the Minotaur brothers is only one of the reasons why they are sweating profusely now.
It's more because it's so hot!!
From a distance, you can see long golden-red snakes winding around the mountains in the distance, and those are all magma that has erupted before and has not yet solidified!
The black ash was blown by the hot wind, and unless it was a demon who liked flames, it was definitely no good to stay here for a long time.
Even if you take a deep breath, your throat will be hot!
Morey and his party continued to hurry, and after crossing a small hill, they finally saw a sizable demon gathering place not far away. Elliot's eyes couldn't help but light up, although he was also very tired, he couldn't help but urge and quickened his pace.
This so-called demon gathering place is not a village or town at all, but more like a camp. Most of the buildings inside are improvised, rough but dark as a whole, probably using some kind of architectural magic. The style of these buildings is hideous and terrifying, and the style and temperament are very dark, and the perimeter is surrounded by some tall bony railings, which are also decent.
The giant hooves had been on the road for a few days, and although they didn't say anything, they were already a little tired in their hearts, and when they saw that the gathering place could still hold on, they immediately ran over excitedly.
Morey hesitated, but followed.
I don't know why, but I always feel a little uneasy when I see the silence of this volcano.
Most of the people who specialize in spiritual power are very keen, and sometimes their premonitions are quite accurate - although they have always scoffed at this kind of baseless nonsense in the book, but at this time, Morey's heart still sank, and he didn't dare to be too careless.
The lava on the distant mountain flowed quietly, and Morey watched, but somehow he felt a roar and shake, as if the volcano was boiling underneath. But when I asked Elliot, he didn't feel that way at all.
Gruul and Giant Hoof looked at Morey, also in a way that didn't know what to do.
Although he felt uneasy, Morel had to scratch his head.
Giant Hoof is right, after all, this is the first time we have seen such a large volcano, and it is normal to feel dangerous. Thinking of this, Morey also suppressed the worry in his heart.
The camp is not large, and it is similar to the Morning Star Courtyard, but Rao is like this, and it is also the place where Morey has seen the most gathering of demons.
Elliot explained that there were usually about four or five hundred demons gathered in such a large camp, and Morey was naturally a little nervous when he heard this. Elliot just glanced blankly at this, as if he were watching a hillbilly enter the city.
He couldn't have thought of the reason why Morey was nervous - if it were a different human, he might have been crying by now.
Morey only dared to come with a demonic body, but in fact, there was still a little drum in his heart, if his identity was found out here, he would be confused!
Five hundred demons!!
"Stop!" Seeing Morey and the others coming, an egg suddenly jumped out. "Come over and pay first!"
It's not that Morey is blind, this thing as a whole looks like a freak on fire!
The size of a watermelon, the eggshell cracked a slit in the middle, revealing two clusters of eye-like fire. The lower part was split, and a flame tail hung down, which may be the tail, but it could also be the foot, because the slender flame was connected to the ground.
It was an intangible thing after all, and although it touched the ground, Morey could figure out whether it was standing or floating. The voice of this egg-shaped demon was very childish, and there was some childlike voice when he spoke, but there was another point, and Morey couldn't help but care.
The magic pattern on its eggshell is actually similar to the fire bomb technique!
"Three gold coins! If you don't have any money, you can exchange it for something, or you will get out of here! This gathering place will not take anyone in vain!" Don't look at this egg's immature voice, he can speak quite forcefully and ruthlessly.
It turns out that gold is also used as currency in hell!
Morey couldn't help but look a little strange.
We don't have a shortage of gold coins, but Kidd has sent a lot of 'living expenses'! Unfortunately, he can't bring them at all, which makes Morey a little crazy in his heart - when he can use them, he doesn't have any of them!
Elliot snorted, but instead of being angry, he glanced at Morey.
Morey just felt a little confused, but suddenly heard Eliot whisper. "The three pieces you found on Pipiru are magic gold, or they are worth some money, and one piece will be more than enough for it. ”
Of course, Elliot knew that Morey didn't understand this, but he didn't want Morey to be looked down upon by that egg, so he whispered quietly.
After all, Elliot thinks that Morey is covering us now, and if Morey loses face, wouldn't it be equivalent to slapping us in the face?
Hearing this, Morey nodded, honestly took it out of his arms, and asked quietly by the way. "What kind of demon is this egg?"
"You don't know? This is the Flame Demon, the appearance of the Infant Flame Demon. Elliot looked a little strange, but then shook his head. "I don't know how you grew up to where you are now, but it looks like you probably haven't been through this time. ”
"This fire demon is not bad, although it can't converge the ontology yet, but you see that the magic pattern is very organized and refined, obviously it's still an egg, and it's already able to speak. If this idiot can grow up, he will probably become a medium-level, or even high-level fire demon."
Ignoring Elliot's brain supplement, Morey was quite surprised in his heart - he really didn't expect the fire demon to be like this!
Unlike the higher demon fathers, some of the lower elemental demons were born in the scorched land by themselves, slowly evolving from their infancy, and awakening consciousness and sanity. The gap between the adult and the juvenile of this demon is very large, and not only may it gradually evolve into a higher demon, but the change in form is also very obvious.
Although he had heard of this, Morey really didn't expect that the hatchling of the Fire Demon was actually an egg!
At this moment, several demons suddenly came out of the camp, and Xiao Yan Demon glanced at those people, and his eyes lit up. Instead, he left Morey and the others aside and went to help them first.
"Hmph, do you understand the order of first come, first come!" Elliot raised his eyebrows, and was about to get angry, but was stopped by Morey.
Morey didn't want to cause any trouble from here, so he quickly persuaded Elliot to stop.
Elliot finally held back his breath and muttered. "As soon as I saw my clan, I ran over, and there were no rules at all!"
But at this point, Elliot suddenly glanced at Morey. "Hurry up and reveal the demon body, if you want to enter and exit the camp, you must use your real form. ”
"Okay?"
Morey was shocked.
But as Elliot spoke, he had already spread his black wings! a cloud of blue-black magic enveloped his body, and when it spread out again, the body of a winged demon with black and red feathers was revealed.
The little flame demon heard the movement and looked over, and when he saw Elliot's appearance, he was immediately shocked, and couldn't help but cry out!
Seeing this, those flame demons were also dumbfounded! They actually stood on the side of the road in a hurry and quickly lowered their heads.
Morey's heart fluttered?
Although I don't know if the Blood Feather is a status symbol, I know at least one thing, that is, the identity of the Winged Demon is too expensive! The Winged Demon is to hell, almost the same as the nobles to the empire, and it is not too much to say that they are hellish nobles.
Elliot was certainly not surprised, but just looked at them proudly. The two minotaurs also roared majestically, turning into more than four meters tall bull-headed demons, covered in muscles and flesh, with a fierce look, and those who didn't know really thought they were so bullish.
"Ah, my lord, what do you command?" the little flame demon immediately changed his attitude, and his face trembled!
Elliot glanced defiantly at the fire demons, threw the piece of demon gold here, and raised his chin disdainfully. "What else can I do, of course I'm in the camp!
"Yes!" Xiao Yan Demon carefully picked up the magic gold, but after seeing Morey, he said cautiously. "Well, you still have a companion who hasn't revealed the demon's true form. ”
"Huh?" Elliot was stunned and looked at Morey. "What's wrong?"
There was a curious look in Eliot's eyes. Although he never said it, he really wanted to see what the body of the guy in front of him looked like. This guy is very mysterious, and he doesn't seem to have revealed it once since he realized it.
It's impossible not to be curious, and even Gruul and Giant Hoof couldn't help but look at it.
"Oh yes. Morey's face was as expressionless as a piece of wood, but cold sweat was already streaming down his back!
Okay P!!
At this time, Morey's heart was broken!
Elliot didn't know that as soon as Morey heard those demons called Flame Demons, he only felt that a basin of ice water had come to him in the past three or nine days!
The kind that splashes from head to heel!
Because TM looks different at all!!
