Chapter 233: The Abyss Plains, the Abyss of Chaos
The sun hung overhead like a huge fireball, emitting a suffocating heat and blinding light, but it still couldn't dispel the haze that spread across the sky.
Jagged black mountains stretch in the distance, and large flocks of birds appear to be flying over them.
The wind howled, blowing stones the size of a millstone and rolling with gusts of wind and sand.
Pei Ze stood on a protruding slope, looking out at the wasteland in front of him.
This is Pazunia, the first layer of the abyss.
In the material realm, it is generally called the Abyss Plain.
After thinking about it again and again, Pei Ze finally chose the abyss as his first stop.
Although there is not much difference between choosing the abyss or hell, Pei Ze is more inclined to deal with demons than the cunning and sinister devil.
Although the latter is chaotic and cruel, at least there is no need to be on guard from time to time, and it will be caught by accident.
"Let's find Broken Domain first."
Pei Ze's figure slowly levitated, and he casually chose a direction and flew forward.
The Abyss Plains is the safest place in the Abyssal Realms - provided that a bloody battle does not break out.
And Pei Ze's luck is good, and it seems that it is now a truce between demons and devils.
Every once in a while, the two sides will suspend the war to give each other time to mobilize troops and prepare supplies for the next bloody and fierce war.
During this time, there will be a brief period of peace in both the Abyss and the first level of Hell.
Of course, the so-called peace is only relative.
As the most chaotic part of the multiverse, the Abyss and Hell are fighting and fighting all the time.
As for Broken Domain, it is the safest place in the Abyss Plains.
It was a small town founded by a succubus named Red Shroud, and it was said that there was a big demon behind it, so no demon dared to make trouble, and it was quite orderly.
As long as you enter Broken Domain Town, you don't have to worry about being attacked by demons at will.
These are all materials that Pei Ze consulted in advance.
If you want to participate in the bloody battle, you must first go to Broken Domain Town, find the red shroud to 'sign up', and temporarily become a 'companion' on the demon side.
Otherwise, if you rashly participate in a bloody battle, you will only become the prey of the demon and the devil attacking at the same time.
Pei Ze flew aimlessly over the wasteland.
The abyss is the collection of all chaos, the place where all chance and accident happen and end.
The chaos here is not only reflected in the chaotic habits of the demons, but also in the weather, time, and even the environment of the plane.
Everything here is subject to change, there is no fixed reference terrain at all, and maps are nonsense.
Therefore, without a demon to lead the way, the only way to find a place in the abyss is to try your luck.
And Pei Ze's goal at this time is to find a 'guide'.
"Quack!"
Suddenly, there was a piercing scream in the distance.
Pei Ze looked intently and saw several demons flying towards him.
It looked like a bird, but on closer inspection it looked like a vulture-human mixture, with muscles and huge gray wings.
They have a bald head and a thick neck.
"Flome."
Pei Ze recognized this demon for the first time.
Flomo is a low-level demon that is common in the Abyss.
He was a little disappointed.
Low-level demons are not good people to communicate with.
Unless it is a low-level demon that has been domesticated by a high-level demon and specializes in acting as a slave, the vast majority of low-level demons only have killing and eating in their minds, and they are more beasts than beasts.
Flodemon's combat power is a little better than that of a third-level wizard apprentice, Pei Ze doesn't even need to cast spells or mobilize elemental energy, and a simple spiritual impact directly makes the head of the three-headed Flomo explode, and the headless corpse sways in mid-air and falls straight to the ground.
Without even glancing at the corpse, Pei Ze continued to fly forward, and at the same time diverged his spiritual perception, searching for signs of life around him.
With his current spiritual power, it was enough to cover a radius of ten kilometers, accurately find the location of the life form, and roughly judge its strength level based on the energy breath.
It didn't take long for Pei Ze to find his target.
In the empty wasteland, a convoy of five carts was slowly moving.
The cart was drawn by a pack animal that looked like a yak and was comparable in size to a horse-drawn carriage.
More than a dozen Kwasai demons flew through the air with their wings outstretched, shouting conflicting commands and commanding the beasts.
Six bab demons guarded the convoy left and right, and followed on foot without saying a word, their cold eyes constantly roaming the surroundings.
And in the first big car, there is a succubus.
The huge black bat's wings folded and wrapped her upper body tightly, as if blocking out the sun, revealing only her charming and beautiful face.
Her back curve is very graceful, her exposed thighs are plump and round, and her skin is smooth and without any blemishes.
A fiery red whip emerged from under the wings and clung to the inner thighs, making the skin more and more milky white as jade.
In the back of the car, there is also a flag, but the flag keeps flipping with the wind, and it is not clear what is on it.
Pei Ze's eyes lit up.
Succubi are not high-level demons in the abyss, but they are excellent communication partners.
Their combat effectiveness is not strong, and they can only survive in the abyss by currying favor and pleasing high-level demons.
For this reason, succubi do not like meaningless killing, and they prefer to use their beautiful looks and charm to seduce their opponents and lure their targets into depravity.
Compared to other demons who are only full of killing, succubi are undoubtedly a suitable target to lead the way.
Pei Ze immediately approached the past.
The Kwasai Demon in the sky spotted Pei Ze for the first time, and immediately screamed.
The Bรกb Demon drew his weapon, and a murderous expression appeared on his ugly face.
Just as they were about to rush forward, they saw the succubus raise his hand and snap an empty whip.
"Quiet." She exclaimed.
Kwasem and Babu Moh immediately fell silent.
The succubus put on a charming smile, looked at Pei Ze who fell from the sky with sparkling eyes, and said with a coquettish smile: "It turned out to be a wizard, I don't know what to do with us?" โ
Succubi are experts at controlling spirits and illusions, and their perceptions are much sharper than those of Quasai and Babu.
As early as the first time she saw Pei Ze, she realized that the person who came was powerful and terrifying, and it was definitely not something that she and a group of low-level demons could match, so she decisively chose to bow her head.
Otherwise, according to the habits of demons, the first reaction of seeing other creatures in the wasteland, even demons, is to use their hands.
"I'm going to Broken Domain, and I just don't need a guide."
Pei Ze got straight to the point.
With his strength, he doesn't need to be with the succubus.
"It's easy." The succubus winked at him, "We're just going to Broken Domain, just come with us." โ
Pei Ze didn't care about the temptation of the succubus, and with a flip of his wrist, an extra soul spar instantly appeared in his palm.
The brilliant and beautiful light and rich soul aura instantly attracted the eyes of all the Kwasai and Babu Demons.
These low-level demons showed undisguised greed in their eyes, and they were ready to move, if it weren't for the suppression of succubi, they would have been unable to hold back and rush up and snatch it.
"It's the reward for leading the way." Pei Ze said.
Although it was only the lowest-grade soul spar worth tens of magic crystals, it was already a very precious treasure for a mid-level demon like a succubus.
However, the succubus was not half surprised, but his eyes flickered slightly.
Wizards are notoriously committed to the principle of equivalent exchange.
The young wizard in front of him would definitely not take out the soul crystal as a reward for nothing, and there would inevitably be some harsh conditions.
Sure enough, then I heard Pei Ze say lightly: "Sign the soul contract." โ
The so-called soul contract was originally a kind of magic invented by the great devils of the nine layers of hell, and was specially used to collect the souls of mortals in the material world.
Unlike demons who are chaotic and like to seduc, deceive, or even kill people directly, demons are creatures that strictly follow the rules.
They prefer to obtain human souls through contracts.
They can make a soul pact with humans in order to grant ownership of their souls after death at the cost of granting their wishes.
The power of the Soul Contract lies in the fact that it uses the most primordial force of order in this multiverse.
No matter how great the difference in power between the two parties to the contract is, the contract is always valid and cannot be violated.
Even if a powerless mortal signs a contract with a demon lord, the latter must follow the contract and cannot break it.
- Of course, demon lords generally don't look down on ordinary human souls.
All in all, once a soul contract is formed, it is impossible for even gods and rule wizards to intervene and revoke it.
The gods and the rules wizard can kill both parties so that the contract can never be actually fulfilled, but the contract itself is still valid.
Over the long years, this devil's soul contract has spread to the material world, and after generations of wizards have studied it, some new variants have been created.
For example, the most commonly used magic pet contract, which is exclusively used by wizards to summon magic pets, is still essentially a soul contract.
For example, the various contracts commonly used by wizards are also developed from soul contracts.
There are even wizards who use soul contracts to enslave the devil or demon in turn, turning them into their own demon assistants.
In general, soul contracts are often used as a kind of security.
Including this time.
Pei Ze was naturally not stupid enough to believe the words of a demon.
Even if the other party is a succubus, and he seems to be quite knowledgeable about current affairs.
But he still won't be unguarded.
Who knows if this succubus will take him to the territory of a demon lord or archdemon as a ration to be delivered to the door?
Just in case, it's better to sign a soul contract.
Under Pei Ze's gaze, the succubus's expression quickly returned to normal, and he giggled: "Okay, listen to the wizard." โ
The two sides quickly signed a soul contract, and the content was naturally that the succubus would bring Pei Ze to Broken Domain Town safely, and there must be no action against him.
Succubi, on the other hand, can get a soul hedron as a reward.
After the contract was completed, the atmosphere suddenly relaxed.
At the invitation of the succubus, Pei Ze boarded the car she was in.
As soon as he sat down, the succubus's soft body immediately leaned in, and a rich and alluring fragrance immediately enveloped Pei Ze.
"What is the wizard doing in Broken Domains?"
Pei Ze's face did not change: "Participate in the bloody battle." โ
Succubi are good at seducing, but they can't be effective against a level 5 wizard.
If you want to get a fifth-level wizard to be tricked, at least the legendary succubus queen Mecanshit will be able to make a move.
Listening to Pei Ze's words, a flash of surprise flashed in the succubus's eyes.
Wizards in bloody battles?
What kind of fantasy is this?
Aren't they the most repulsive to bloody wars?
was suspicious in his heart, but the succubus did not show anything on his face, and he didn't dare to inquire more, so he chatted with Pei Ze with a smile on other topics.
Pei Ze was also happy to do so, and asked about the situation of Broken Domain Town.
During the chat, Pei Ze learned that he had guessed correctly, and now the Abyss and Hell were in a truce.
Both sides are actively mobilizing troops and supplies in preparation for a new round of war.
It won't be long before the bloody battle breaks out again.
In addition, Pei Ze also learned about the role of the flag planted in the back of the car.
The front of the flag is painted with a six-fingered palm, which is the coat of arms of the red shroud, representing the convoy being protected by the town of Broken Land.
As long as this flag is planted, the entire Wanyuan Plain will be able to pass unimpeded, and it will not be attacked by other demons.
Pei Ze can also be regarded as solving the doubts in his heart.
He had been a little strange before.
You must know that the Kwasai Demon is the worst of the various demons in the abyss, cowardly and cowardly, except for boastful talk, fox fake tiger power and stealth escape, there is no other ability, and the combat power is weaker than that of Flo Demon.
Although the Babu Demon is a little better, it is equivalent to the level of a first-order legendary knight.
This convoy only has more than 20 Quatsai demons and Babu demons as escorts, and its strength can be said to be extremely weak, and it is estimated that it will fall apart in a few waves of attacks, but it is really strange to dare to swagger on the wasteland.
Now it seems that it is all because of the protection of the red shroud flag.
Obviously, this great demon has great prestige in the Abyss Plains.
Time flies in the chat.
During this period, the beast pulling the cart traveled in a direction that suddenly turned to the left, and then to the right, deflecting to and fro, and once even made a ninety-degree turn.
It stands to reason that this is a great plain, and although some of the peaks have some deep pits, they do not pose an obstacle, and you should not walk like this.
But Pei Ze knew that this was a unique way for the native creatures of the abyss.
The abyss is chaotic, but it also gives native creatures, including demons, the ability to sense their bearings.
This is something that outsiders do not have.
Every year, many outsiders rush into the abyss, but because there are no native creatures to guide them, they end up starving to death and dying of thirst in the wasteland.
Even if you bring enough food and water, you will die of exhaustion under the endless attacks of demons.
Among them, there are many strong people of the third and fourth levels.
Pei Ze once heard Tinin say that the reason why the owl and the rainbow tree rope demon attacked her in the first place was to use her soul as a reward in exchange for the demon to guide them in the first place.
After walking for more than ten hours in the hot and bleak wasteland, changing direction during this time, the convoy finally arrived at Broken Land.
