CHAPTER XXVIII
The edge of the city of divine punishment in the day and hell
Mephisto's Soul Stone Destruction Team has just stepped into a new territory in Hell, the City of Divine Punishment! Although it is inhabited by the enforcers of the surface hell, the scene here does not seem to be much better than the original Desperate Plain, the same gray earth and sky.
Zhang Zhiang looked back at the plain of despair behind him, the land was so vast that it was boundless, and he could faintly hear the screams of those evil souls. Standing on the ground of the City of Divine Punishment and looking at the Plain of Despair, Zhang Zhiang found that even if it was gray, in fact, from the panorama it seems, the Plain of Despair is actually barely beautiful, a different kind of beauty, Zhang Zhiang felt that he must be sick, and he even felt that the scene of hell was also beautiful.
"What are you doing?" Si Xu interrupted Zhang Zhiang's interest in continuing to watch the scenery, "Why don't you keep up?" Zhang Zhiang pursed his lips, turned around and followed the team to continue forward.
"Two heroes," the silver guard who had just solved Zhang Zhiang's confusion quickly caught up with the two, "Whatever you see later, remember not to look back!" ”
"Why?" Zhang Zhiang asked puzzledly, "The enforcers of hell have been abusing evil souls for a long time, so they themselves have become extremely cruel and murderous, if you see their eyes, or if they hear your voice, they will think that you are provoking them, they will beat you into the ranks of sinners, and then strip you of your body, torture and destroy your soul." ”
"Abuse of power?" Zhang Zhiang was taken aback, it turned out that there are also people who abuse their power in hell! "You can say that." The Silver Guard smiled slightly, "By the way, you just said the surface hell, how can there be an inner hell?" Zhang Zhiang suddenly remembered something.
"There is not only the inner hell, but also the lower hell!" The Silver Guard explained slowly, it seems that it is indeed boring enough to go all the way without finding some topics to talk about, it seems that the Silver Guard also has the same idea as Zhang Zhiang, "There are only some low-level creatures who like to devour souls in the surface hell, and the inner hell is the body of hell, where all kinds of hell creatures live, and the entrance to the inner layer is guarded by two hellhounds, so no monsters can come to the surface hell." And the lower hell where the extremely powerful and heinous souls and monsters are imprisoned, each has its own guardian. ”
Listening to the introduction of the Silver Guard, Zhang Zhiang also had a general understanding of hell, "Where is the soul furnace?" "In the deepest part of the surface hell, on the river of fire." "River of Fire?"
"You'll know when you get there." The Silver Guard sold out a little.
"Ah~! Yes~! At this moment, a scream was heard not far away, interrupting the conversation between the two, "The two heroes must remember what I just said, from now on don't talk or look around, we are about to enter the realm of the City of Divine Punishment." ”
The team continued to move forward for a few minutes, and not far away stood a huge fortress, completely black, like a huge bowl on the ground, without windows or doors, I don't know how to get in and out of this fortress?
Beside the fort were many roofless houses, from which the screams could be heard. The closer the team got to the houses, the louder the screams became! The Silver Guards and Si Xu didn't seem to be moved, and looked straight ahead, as if these screams didn't exist.
When passing by one of the houses, Zhang Zhiang couldn't help but glance at the situation in the room, a pair of pitch-black armor and helmet suspended in the air, as if there was something under the armor, and a mace was erected in front of the wrist armor, which was constantly smashing on a sin soul in front of the armor.
The soul seems to be imprisoned by some invisible force, unable to move, allowing the mace to beat on its body! But this place seems to be different from the Plains of Despair, the soul's body was knocked apart by the mace but did not return to its original state, it seems that their weapons have special damage to the soul!
Zhang Zhiang hurriedly retracted his gaze, but fortunately, the executor just now didn't seem to find himself! The screams rang out one after another, and it seemed that the hell enforcers were preoccupied with torturing the evil spirits in front of them, and had no interest in the procession passing by their house.
The team continued to move forward amid the screams one after another, although Zhang Zhiang knew that he couldn't continue to watch, but he still couldn't help but secretly glance at it a few more times.
These Hell Enforcers seem to look the same except for the weapons on their wrist armor, and the guilty spirits are toys to them.
Along the way, Zhang Zhiang saw all kinds of evil souls, missing arms and legs, only half of their bodies were pressed by several boulders, and only half of their faces were left, it seems that these hell executors have no mercy for these evil souls at all, and some should only have an interest in abusing these souls!
Zhang Zhiang secretly watched everything along the way, and his heart was pounding. I'm afraid that these hell enforcers will find out that they are spying on them, but it seems that everything is going well.
The team quickly made their way through the torture chambers of the Hellenforcers, and around the back of the fortress, where there was a large hole in the ground from which bursts of fire shot out.
"Two heroes, here we are!" The Silver Guards did not stop, and stepped straight into the large hole in the ground, "From here is the River of Fire, please remember the two heroes, even if it is a spacious place, please try to walk in the middle of the road!" ”
"What do you mean?" Si Xu looked at the Silver Guard, "The earth of the River of Flames has been burned through because it has been soaked in lava for a long time, and many places will shatter and sink into the lava as long as they are hit by a little impact!" So you have to be careful, once you fall into the lava, what will happen, I don't need to say more, right? ”
Zhang Zhiang and Sixu nodded, and also stepped into the big hole.
There is a staircase extending downward in this big hole, I don't know how long it is, I only know that there is a fist-sized fire at the end of my gaze, and there are gray rocks all around, Zhang Zhiang and Sixu followed closely with the silver guards, and the more they walked towards the firelight, the hotter the air seemed to become!
Before he was halfway there, Zhang Zhiang already felt that it was too hot, but these silver guards didn't seem to be affected at all, could it be that the silver armor on their bodies had any special power? Or are they highly trained warriors who don't care about the change of circumstances?
Zhang Zhiang began to envy Sixu, his upper body was almost naked, Zhang Zhiang felt that it would be very comfortable if his upper body was exposed at this time, just looked at Sixu's body shape, Zhang Zhiang still dispelled this idea, his body shape was really embarrassed to show it in front of him.
I don't know how long it took to walk, Zhang Zhiang and Sixu finally walked to the firelight, along the way, the firelight slowly changed from the size of a fist to the size of a dozen people now, this road is really not short.
When I walked out of the big hole, it suddenly opened up in front of me, and the stairs continued to extend downward, but I could already see the end! The earth was pitch black, and the tumbling lava was constantly flowing around the earth, Zhang Zhiang fanned himself with his hand, and as soon as he walked out of the cave, a wave of heat blew in his face.
This should be a huge cave, the cave I just walked through is the top of this huge cave, just look at it, it is estimated to be about 100 meters high!
The thought of going to such a place for a fierce battle later, the sweat on Zhang Zhiang's body kept dripping. In such a high-temperature environment, ordinary people don't live long before they are cooked.
Si Xu didn't seem to care about the heat here at all, and followed the silver guards straight to the bottom of the stairs, and Zhang Zhiang followed while fanning himself with the wind!
The team lined up in a straight line in the middle of the pitch-black earth, and the lava next to it roared and tumbled from time to time to welcome the arrival of the soulstone destroyers.
I don't know how long I walked, Zhang Zhiang felt that he was about to take it anymore, and was thinking about whether to take off his clothes, when the silver guards suddenly stopped moving forward. The group looked at a fork in the road on the right.
Zhang Zhiang followed their eyes, a huge stone gate towered over the road, and the frames on both sides of the door were inserted in the deep lava on both sides of the pitch-black earth, but it did not seem to be affected by it, because the stone was cyan, and even if it was soaked in the lava, it was not baked black.
The stone directly above the door was carved with four strange symbols, which were supposed to be some kind of unknown writing, and it seemed that the destination of their trip had been reached.
"Two heroes, please be vigilant, as soon as we enter this door, Hercules will find out about our arrival."
"Then wait here first, I'll summon the stone demon first, it will take a little time." Zhang Zhiang clasped his hands together and began to chant the incantation.
Zhang Zhiang This is the first time to summon a high-level stone demon, as soon as the spell is recited, Zhang Zhiang feels that the Qika in his body begins to gather in large quantities on the palm of his hand, and the strength of the collection is very large, Zhang Zhiang knows that this summoning is not the same as before!
In the past, he could still control the summoning, but this time he couldn't control the summoning, and Kika gathered in large numbers, and he couldn't stop at all!
After chanting the incantation, Zhang Zhiang felt that about half of the Qika in his body had been emptied! Dika Kane once said that summoning high-level creatures requires a large number of Kika, and Zhang Zhiang only realized the meaning of this sentence today.
Zhang Zhiang pushed with both palms, and a spatial crack appeared in front of him! A flaming hand reached out and grabbed the wall of the spatial crack, and then, a stone demon with a raging flame of three meters walked out of the spatial crack.
He looked around his surroundings, as if these people around him didn't exist for him. After the flame stone demon came out, the spatial crack slowly healed, Zhang Zhiang originally wanted to summon a few more flame stone demons, but now it seems that his limit is to summon two flame stone demons, but if he really does this, Zhang Zhiang himself will completely lose the ability to fight, what power can a wizard without Kika have?
