At the entrance to the valley floor, Richard saw the ribs at a glance. It was an extremely tall skeleton mage, the skeleton of which was made from the broken bones of various races, and was busy in front of several cauldrons lined up. Next to him, there is a huge real yàn platform with hundreds of bottles and jars. There is no doubt that this is an undead, and not a naturally occurring undead. As far as Richard knew, all the undead were supposed to be the natural antithesis of the gods, even the Grim Reaper. Because the undead and the gods have a conflict of core interests, both sides are vying for souls.

The Land of Divine Punishment actually has the same status as the Great Temple, and in any church, light and darkness, glory and punishment, coexist. Therefore, the land of divine punishment is also the core territory of the God of Courage, and it is indeed shocking that undead creatures will appear here.

Richard and the other five looked at the ribs in silence, and they all felt that this land was full of mystery, and it had subverted the common sense of many theological systems. Splash focuses on something else. A raging fire burned under the cauldron of the ribs, and a thick dark green liquid was tumbling inside the cauldron. But the fuel under the pot, and the same thing cooked in the pot, is the prisoner. The prisoners burning in the flames all looked in agony, screaming but unable to make a sound, struggling but never able to climb out of the flames. They can't see or hear, because fire is constantly spewing out of their mouths, noses, and even their eye sockets and ear holes. The person in the pot is equally miserable.

The girl began to exude a murderous aura like a needle, staring at her ribs. This is the instinctive hatred of the living beings towards the evil undead.

The ribs slowly turned his head, and the turquoise soul fire jumped in the hollow eye sockets, staring at Richard, and said slowly, "I...... Looks like we're coming to an end......"

"If you tell me why you're here, maybe you can survive, but in another way. Richard said lightly.

Sandru, the necromancer, should be very interested in this skeleton mage. Richard didn't bring Sandru here, originally because he was worried that the undead aura on his body would not be able to hide it, and let a powerful necromancer enter the land of divine punishment, normally, it would be the biggest insult to a god. No matter what state Neian is in, I'm afraid he will have to fight Richard again. And Richard doesn't want to enter the final bloody battle with Nei'an for the time being, the reason is as Quicksand said, Richard still has no way to take the gods for the time being.

If he had known that there would be an evil undead like ribs in the Black Valley, Richard would have brought Sandru over. The most effective against the undead is not the priest, but the necromancer.

"Won't you ask me what I'm doing?" Rib asked with interest.

Richard smiled and said, "What's there to ask about this? Isn't it just squeezing the resentment, pain, and fear of the soul? Ordinary necromancers store the essence of fear by refining it, but you just changed to a more subtle method and sent all the essence of fear that was brewed to the center of the black valley." ”

The mandible of the ribs is going to fall off, and he says, "How do you know?"

Richard didn't answer, but repeated his own question: "Sue me, why are you in this place?"

The flame flickered in his rib sockets, and he said with difficulty: "I know, but...... I can't tell. ”

"It's fine. Richard nodded, and Io waved his hand, and a little golden light shot into the eye socket of his ribs, and the raging divine flame erupted, instantly burning it into a pile of flying ashes.

The Black Valley is even bigger than expected, and there are dozens of times more prisoners than expected, and tens of thousands of people live in the land that does not see the light of day. Even if everyone could live for hundreds of years, as Ptolemy did, the number of prisoners accumulated should not be so large. In the Black Valley, there are villages, small towns, and even large tracts of cultivated fields and mines. In the field, there are clusters of plants that look like aquatic plants, and the black branches and leaves spiral upwards. From time to time, prisoners would come out of the mine, and the baskets on their backs would be filled with raw ore like lumps of coal.

Along the way, Richard saw quite a few workshops. In these workshops, the prisoners poured the excavated black soil into molds, tamped it with hammers, and then roasted it on a fire that also burned with the prisoners. When the mold is opened, the black soil turns into a square black raw ore. In other workshops, the ore is refined in different processes and finally turned into black bricks with a metallic sheen. In addition, some pink crystals will be produced. Looking at the demeanor of the prisoners, it is obvious that they value these crystals even more.

The black bricks were to be transported to the town in the middle of the Black Valley, and Richard casually stopped a convoy of deliveries and let Io solve it

After the undead warrior who was guarding it, he took out a formed black brick from the car and looked at it. The black bricks are as smooth as a mirror and can clearly reflect the human face. But the strange thing is that the faces inside are all extremely distorted and painful. Everyone was shocked to see themselves like this. Richard once again showed his insight that the power in the black bricks could no longer be hidden, and it turned out that there was also a lot of simple fear, pain and resentment in it. This is quite pure spiritual power, which is why everyone can see their twisted and painful self.

Richard lifted the black brick in his hand, looked at the extremely solemn and majestic dark black hall in the middle of the valley, and muttered: "I seem to have seen or heard of such a place somewhere. ”

"On the Fear Plateau of Hell, you can see similar scenes at any time. The level of hell, with its themes of fear, pain, and resentment, is the most common, too numerous to count. Nayou said.

Richard glanced at Nayu, not asking her why she was so familiar with hell.

Whether it is a workshop or a village or a small town, most of the prisoners inside are sluggish and numb, and even if they see Richard, they don't react at all. None of them knew how long they had survived, or how many times they had gone through the process of dying and resurrecting. Richard asked Bruno and Essien where they were, but received no answer. In the end, it was Io who came up with a way, and he directly set fire to a prisoner with a divine flame, which was a more painful experience than death, and the prisoner immediately screamed, and others

The prisoner finally showed his fear, noticed Richard's cunning, and began to answer questions. It's just a pity that they have obviously been tortured for so long that most of their sanity and memory have been lost. After walking through several villages and workshops, Richard learned a little about Bruno, while Essien had no news at all.

In a village, Richard unexpectedly saw the birth of a new life. It was a woman, seventy or eighty years old, who had given birth in the village square, and dozens of prisoners living in the village, as well as two wardens, were watching. Richard and the others also squeezed into the crowd, and the prisoners and even the supervisors did not react, they were just looking at the woman in pain. Moments later, a new life was born.

It was a baby, with black gas wrapped around it, its little face twisted into shape, crying in pain, but not hearing any sound. However, Richard's body shook suddenly, because he 'heard' the baby's cry! It was an indescribable sound, completely painful and desperate, and every cry was like a sharp iron chisel, chiseling Richard's soul one after another! This child has an inherently strong soul, but he was born immersed in the deepest pain. To many devils and evil creatures who feed on pain, the child's cry is a supreme delicacy.

This child has the same strong life force, which means that he can live for a long time and suffer for a long time.

Perhaps for him, pain is already an innate instinct.

Seeing the safe birth of the baby, the faces of both the prisoner and the prisoner showed ecstasy. One of the supervisors immediately stepped forward to pick up the baby, while another one couldn't wait to pounce on the woman who had just given birth. The woman was dying, but in the Black Valley, she might not be able to die at all. Among the prisoners, both men and women, seemed to have received a silent command, and immediately began to intercourse.

Richard frowned, and had to shut down the baby's cry, which was a little better. Then he said, "This is how the painful souls of the great devil in hell come from?"

"No, they have to torture other living beings. Or tempt beings from other planes to sacrifice their souls to them, so that there will be painful souls to enjoy. So in that sense, this place is even more evil than the hell of suffering. I've only seen souls in a few places that produce natural suffering, places where you wouldn't want to go in a second time. ”

Nai said sternly.

This time, without waiting for Richard's command, Io waved his hands, and a pillar of sacred fire appeared from ten meters in the air, silently pouring down on the overseer holding the baby, instantly igniting him and the newly born painful baby. In the sacred flame, both the supervisor and the baby struggled and screamed desperately, and the baby's cry was even more penetrating, actually forcibly breaking through Richard's shield and piercing his soul! The ashes of the Overseer were immediately absorbed by the black soil, but the ashes of the baby were not contained by the land, leaving a grim white mark on the ground.

The stinging pain in Richard's soul finally disappeared, so he let out a sigh of relief and said, "It's okay...... Huh?"

He was amazed to find that his talent for insight had captured a little bit of the power of rules from the baby's cry! No wonder his cry was so irresistible. Richard's intellectual genius was in full swing, and he began to try to build a system that could describe this new rule. This is the fourth rule snippet that Richard has caught.
