Chapter 322: Yanmen
readx;? The faint light that permeated the roof wall and shone on the dim earth all the time, but it seemed that it was not enough to keep this grotesque world from being plunged into darkness. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
This is the norm in the underworld, and in the impression of mainlanders, she can only be classified as an alien plane like the Nibelungen, the outer world, and hell, although this view is mostly influenced by the hatred left over from history, but some of the doctrines are not unreasonable.
Although the chaotic ecology, extremely harsh and unreasonable geographical structure, the lack of normal day and night and the alternation of seasons, although there is no and cannot be studied in depth, but based on some superficial normalities, scholars on the continent can conclude that the underground world does not have the characteristics of a main plane, but is similar to the outer world of hell.
In fact, the environment of the underground world is even worse than they think, and all kinds of natural and supernatural, endogenous and exogenous natural disasters fill this cruel world, some of which are naturally formed and some are ...... Factitious.
This shattered world is like a dilapidated house leaking everywhere, and if it weren't for the strong beams, it might have collapsed in the storm.
Kassan's flame gate can be said to be one of the broken leaks in the "house", but it was barely repaired after knocking, but it was not reliable. There are hundreds of fissures here that ordinary people can't perceive, some of which are so small that they can't even pass through a small ghost, and can only slightly leak a little breath of the hell plane, and the eggs are useless. However, there is also a gate of hell that can allow the demon lord to lead the army of hell to descend, and that is the Flame Gate!
It is not only a terrifying rift passage to the hellish plane, but also the name of this land, and the original naming may have wanted to remind future generations of what kind of land they live in in this way.
Yanmen is surrounded by mountains, affected by the breath of hell, the environment is hotter and drier than the gray corner, there is a strong smell of sulfur everywhere, and many places are even redder, like ovens, especially in the recent past, as more and more cracks have been broken, nearly a third of the land of Yanmen has begun to be transformed into hell scorched earth, and the situation is becoming more and more precarious.
In an environment like Yanmen, where birds don't lay eggs, it seems extremely harsh, and it stands to reason that no one except the gatekeepers will live and suffer in such a place. But it's not true, the environment here is really harsh, but this anomaly has its own unique value.
For thousands of years, the breath of Hell has created a new balance with the environment, and the scorching breath of Hell has dried up the land and barren, but it has also changed the geology of the place, giving birth to many precious mineral deposits and strange magical herbs. It is human nature to chase profits, and as long as it is profitable, even if they will "get along with the devil" day and night, they will be willing to do so.
As a result, in Yanmen, mobile markets, strongholds, mining areas, and gathering places were gradually formed with the scattered branches of the gatekeeper clan as the core, and the gatekeeper family located in the north of the highlands developed the most magnificent underground city in Yanmen, Black Rock City.
The dark and dark obsidian terrain stretches for thousands of meters, building the most magnificent and solid walls on the highlands, this majestic city is like a prehistoric beast standing on the top of the highlands, and it still stands after several wars, and the baptism of war and the accumulation of years will only make her more majestic.
Even if obituaries and terrible news continue to come from all over the Yanmen, even if the demonic army is coming to the city and constantly attacking the defenses of the Black Flame City, even if the great guardians of the Yanmen are still asleep and the seal of the Gates of Hell is loosening more and more, the patriarch of the Gatekeeper clan, Scarlett Kalan, is confident that he can lead his people to the final victory, just like their ancestors did in the past.
Because their enemies are demons, and because they were born to deal with those damned demons, as a "fire girl", Scarlett is born with the ability to restrain demons, she can easily banish, seal, exterminate, and even control those demons that smell of rotten eggs.
At the age of ninety, Scarlett occasionally loses her sights, and she doesn't remember what she just did, but she can clearly remember all the clearly recorded characteristics of each demon species, their race, appearance characteristics, ability attributes, attack methods, intelligence, and even the similarities and differences in growth cycles and growth stages, and of course, she is also familiar with the corresponding weaknesses and restraint methods.
This is also one of the reasons why she has not abdicated to make way for Xian, she has that prestige, and she has the corresponding ability, she is indeed old, but she can also exert some residual heat.
At this time, in the deepest bedroom of the Black Rock City City Lord's Mansion, Scarlett, who had never slept and forgot to eat, had rarely returned to this somewhat empty bedroom since the rift erupted on a large scale.
In the corner of the room lay an old chaise longue, on which Scarlett's emergated figure lay silently, motionless, the soft glimmer of burning precious gum reflected her pleated old face, but it was not the majesty, spirit, and strength of her past.
At this time, this legendary leader revealed a physically and mentally exhausted and languishing appearance, which can even be described as withered.
Was it the demon army that was coming to the city that made her feel like a great enemy? Was it the loosening of the seal of the Yanmen that made her panic? Or was it the filth of the Lintou clan that still caused her to be troubled?
No! neither!
The little boy Scarlett in the clan didn't take it seriously at all, and as long as it was a demon, even if it was a demon lord, she wouldn't frown. But, she had discovered that this massive demonic invasion seemed to be heading in a direction beyond her control.
Some unknown things are mixed in, so that the knowledge and experience system on which they rely for survival is reduced to shackles. The caretaker clan has guarded the Yanmen for generations, and is the natural enemy of the demon, even if the clansmen who have not awakened to the "fire prevention girl" also know the demons well, and they naturally know that they will not be defeated in a hundred battles when they fight with them.
But if one day, they are no longer facing demons, or a group of demons like snake spirits, with no reason, confused thinking, wild attacks, and occasionally slapping themselves twice, to deal with such monsters, can they still rely on their past experience and knowledge to be invincible?
Scarlett already had an answer in her mind that made her feel uneasy, and that day seemed to have come...... (To be continued.) )
