Raymond, who entered the spatial passage with the Phantom Butterfly Hima, felt that it was just an instant, and his eyes darkened.

It was not a deep pitch black, but a dim glow with a reddish luster, and Raymond's left eye, which floated in the air, could see clearly within ten meters of his body through the pale green crystal given by the Sirens.

Tall and thin like a cactus, the plant is sparsely distributed but covered with barbs, and the flowers that bloom at the top of it emit a slightly brighter reddish sheen, making its surroundings slightly brighter.

The uneven and rugged terrain was like vegetation on the edge of the desert, and Raymond, who sensed and sensed a lot of obscure breath, frowned.

Because this environment was not quite similar to the surrounding area of the Sea Buckthorn Plain that Uru had told about before, he asked. "Do you know what these plants are?"

The Phantom Butterfly Himima, who was teleported with Raymond, also had a dazed expression, and after rising more than ten meters and observing for a while, he replied after falling. "Lord Raymond, the area you can see is full of this kind of scarlet thorns, it should be a little far from the sea buckthorn plain......

"Direction!"

"I—I'm going to judge......"

As she spoke, Hima took out the artifact she had been granted in the village and got busy.

Raymond, with his mind moving, raised his right hand and began to construct the spell, and soon the sand in front of him rolled and converged inward, and a moment later, an earth golem only as tall as a meter pulled out its legs from the gravel, let out a low roar, and rushed towards a crimson thorn not far away.

A golem of earth made entirely of gravel. Heavy footsteps broke the silence here, causing all the scarlet thorns within a radius of more than ten meters to shake.

It's just that the crimson thorn that was selected by the Earth Golem didn't move at first, but when the Earth Golem entered its distance of three meters. The tall and slender plant itself bent abruptly, and the barbs facing the earth puppet stretched and stretched out in vain, struck past like a long whip.

The snapping sound was like a bead walking on a jade plate, and the spikes that touched the earth golem immediately rolled upside down, suddenly plunged into the earth golem's body, hooked it, and dragged it over.

The unprepared Earth Golem roared, but it was brought to the flower on top of the Crimson Thorn in front of it. But in vain, within the crack in the center of its stamen, dozens of turquoise stamen-like filaments poked out of it, quickly entangled the entire earth puppet. Make it immobilized!

The earth puppet, which seemed to be imprisoned, could no longer be sensed by Raymond at this moment, and saw that the barbs that pierced into its body trembled at the same time, and the body of the earth puppet began to disintegrate rapidly. After a few moments, it dissolved into a pile of gravel. Piled up at the base of the scarlet thorn.

What surprised Raymond a little was that the crimson thorn that killed the earth puppet then began to grow, the height increased by a few feet, and the barbs on the body surface became brighter, as if the energy contained in the earth puppet was absorbed and devoured by it, so that the scarlet thorn gained nutrients.

"Earth puppets that are equivalent to the strength of ordinary knights don't even have the ability to resist, and it's obvious that those barbs piercing into their bodies contain some kind of imprisoning power......"

Raymond, who had a red glow shining in his pupils, made the judgment above. And Jima, who had determined the direction with the help of the artifacts given by the Great Elder of his village, also followed by telling Raymond that this place was not as far away from the sea buckthorn plain as he imagined.

Raymond who took Hima on the road. Began to move forward.

Two days later, when the color of the surface turned reddish-brown, the unique brownish-red sea buckthorn of the Sea Buckthorn Plains was seen in large quantities.

The clumps of maroon sea buckthorn are ordinary lower plants in the underworld, and the slight toxins they contain cannot be used due to the difficulty of extraction.

However, because the dark energy concentration of the environment in which it lives is relatively high, many strange underworld creatures have been discovered one after another after entering the Seabuckthorn Plain.

Inferior wraiths and ghosts, hiding among the maroon sea buckthorn, grow by devouring each other.

The more powerful ones are the ones that lurk underground, or hide with the help of changes in the terrain, and are predators in the middle of the food chain.

These creatures of the underworld, who relied on the absorption of dark energy to survive, did not cause too much trouble to Raymond.

The Phantom Butterfly Himima, who is still in her infancy, has a deterrent effect that makes those low-level underworld creatures dare not approach.

The resentful spirits with slightly stronger strength will be burned by Raymond's invisible fire, and as long as they can't form a numerical advantage, it will naturally be difficult to hinder him.

It's just that the area of this sea buckthorn plain exceeded Raymond's expectations, and he continued to walk in the direction guided by Hima for three days before finally arriving at the area where the Soul Sacrifice Fruit Tree might have grown.

The low maroon sea buckthorn on the surface of the ground has become more and more sparse in this area, and the low-level ghosts and resentful spirits that could be seen before are as if they have been extinct here, and there is no trace of them at all.

Because the location provided by the Phantom Butterfly Himala was only a range, after making sure that there were no underworld creatures in the vicinity that would be attracted by his aura, Raymond also released his aura and began to examine it carefully.

The rather fertile humus soil has created a thriving underground microbial community, and the low-level underworld creatures bred by the dark energy grow and breed here, complicating the situation underground.

The many hidden ditches and cavities underground, coupled with the dense density of underworld fungi and plants densely packed within, were clearly explored by Raymond, and even the number collected by the chip became more and more detailed, revealing the true situation underground.

At a depth of thirty meters underground, the main road of a ruined underground city finally led Raymond to the Soul Sacrifice Fruit Tree, but what puzzled him a little was that there were more than thirty hidden stone pillars around the entrance, as if guarding the entrance, so that the area where the entrance was located was free of any living beings.

Since it was not clear what kind of underworld creatures the Soul Sacrifice Fruit Tree was 'guarding' here, Raymond directly emptied the soil above the entrance, causing all the stone pillars buried around the spatial gate to leak out.

The surface of the stone pillar, which is thirty or forty centimeters in diameter and close to a perfect circle, has many runes and obscure patterns.

However, these stone pillars, which do not have energy fluctuations in themselves, will trigger a rapid accumulation of dark energy around them when they are touched, just like the kind of rune array structure that can operate on its own.

The spatial portal in the center of it, similar to the spatial gate in the basement of the City of Annihilation, seems to be ordinary but in fact has a mystery, and it is obvious that forcible destruction will cause changes within it.

The integrated rune structure makes it impossible to judge the effect until it is triggered.

It is also quite difficult to dismantle it.

Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, Raymond asked the Phantom Butterfly Hima to stay away, and rushed directly to the entrance of the spatial door with a flicker.

With a muffled buzzing sound, the seemingly messy and irregularly distributed stone pillars suddenly released a faint ghostly light, and after completing the energy accumulation in an instant, the spatial door was covered by a barrier film, and from the top of each stone pillar, a ghostly light also shot out, instantly hitting Raymond's protection.

In the crunchy sound of tinkling and ding, Raymond, who was hit by these ghostly lights on the surface of his body, was relieved.

The corrosive and infiltrating glow, though it contained a strong evil aura, could only cause faint ripples on its protective barriers, but it was still not strong enough to make him feel dangerous.

Therefore, Raymond fell straight down to the door of space, and his right fist clenched directly into a slam blow, causing the film that was like a protective barrier to be broken, and then he reached out and held the knocker on the door of space...... (To be continued......)
