When Jiang Wubian took the white power station to look into the distance on the desolate and incomparably flame land for a long time, he finally sighed and shook his head, after so long Lin Tao did not come, there would be no accident, right? If this is really the case, Jiang Wubian will not be able to settle his conscience at all. After all, Lin Tao really hit that blow in order to cover himself, and if he didn't hit that blow, maybe Lin Tao would face the Fire Demon Beast and the female fighter safe and sound.
Jiang Wubian is difficult to feel at ease no matter what, thinking back that along the way, Lin Tao has saved his life three times and twice, but now that he is living alone, he feels shameless.
At this time, Bai Dian screamed in surprise.
"Whew!"
"Whew!"
"Whew!"
......
A series of shouts undoubtedly let Jiang Wubian know what this cry represented, and for a moment he also shouted in surprise. Yes, it was in that direction that a purple figure rushed towards it, as fast as lightning and thunder.
"Haha, Brother Jiang, you are all waiting for me in Baidian!" Lin Tao smiled jokingly when he saw his old partner.
Jiang Wubian glanced at Lin Tao, and then asked in a low voice, "It's here?"
Lin Tao nodded and said with a smile: "It's here!"
"Good!"

"Pandora was the first human woman created by Zeus, mainly to take revenge on humans. Because Prometheus, one of the gods, cared too much about humans, he provoked Zeus. Zeus first ordered the god of fire, Black Festas, to make a lovely woman in the image of the goddess using the synthesis of water and soil, and then ordered the goddess of love and beauty to be sprinkled with hormones that make men crazy, and the goddess Athena taught women to weave cloth and make beautiful clothes of all colors to make women look more bright and charming, and after completing all the formalities, Zeus sent the god Hamis to say, 'Put in your cunning, deceitful, cheating, stealing personality!' A complete woman is finally finished. The gods dressed her in clothes, and wore a rabbit hat on her head, and her necklace was beaded, and she was as beautiful as a bride. Hames came up with the idea and said, 'Call this woman Pandora, a gift from the gods to mankind.' The gods agreed with his advice. ”
"When Zeus was fighting for the gods, he was able to ascend to the throne with the help of Prometheus and his brother Epimetheus. Prometheus' name means "foresight." His brother Epimetheus means "regret", so the style of the two brothers is the same as their name, with the characteristics of "foresight" and "regret". After Pandora was created, it was given to Epimetheus under the arrangement of Zeus. Because he knew that Prometheus would not accept a gift from him, he gave it to Epimetheus in the first place. And Epimetheus accepted her, and at the time of the wedding, Zeus ordered the gods to put a gift in a box and give it to Pandora as a gift. And whether the gifts of the gods are good or bad is unknown. ”
"Epimetheus's brother Prometheus had long warned Epimetheus not to accept gifts from Zeus, especially women, because women are dangerous animals. Epimetheus, as his name suggests, began to regret not long after marrying Pandora. Pandora gave birth to seven sons to Epimetheus, but after Pandora gave birth to his sons, Zeus sealed them in a box called "Pandora's Box". Pandora was so angry that she secretly opened the box to see her son. As soon as he saw it, his first six sons flew out, and their names were greed, killing, fear, pain, disease, and desire. Since then, there have been many disasters in the world, but Pandora's seventh son is called Hope. Although people are subjected to greed, killing, fear, pain, disease, and desire, people do not flinch because they still have hope!"
I don't know when such a legend began to circulate throughout the Izumo continent? When did this legend arise and from whose mouth, no one knows? People only know that this legend is a long, long time away, so long that people don't even know about it.
And what about the legend of the Netherworld, it goes like this......
The secluded place originally existed in ancient history books. Legend has it that this place was a battlefield for the gods in the age of the gods, a place where gods and demons fought wars.
When the final battle between the gods ended, the age of the gods ended, and the Netherworld fell silent. The Netherworld, which had been destroyed by many wars, finally got a chance to breathe, and the self-healing ability of nature gradually restored the land to its original appearance, but some of the wounds are still difficult to erase, and the traces left by the war of the gods can sometimes be found.
Today, the Netherworld is a place where fighters compete to chase each other. First, because the environment of the Netherworld Secluded Land is harsh and dangerous, even the Black Forest cannot be compared, and many ascetics are very willing to use this place as their cultivation place. The second reason is that there are countless gods and demons who have fallen in the Netherworld, and those who are extremely powerful have left a little thing that is enough for ordinary fighters to benefit a lot. Exercises, pills, miracles, and so on are all things that are hot for people's eyes. As a result, many fighters flocked to it.
However, why is the legend of Pandora's Box and the Netherworld Place? Perhaps no one has thought about the connection between the two, but Lin Tao, who knows the history of the War of the Gods, is very curious.

A day later, when Lin Tao and Jiang Wubian finally walked out of the range of the Sea of Flames and entered the central area of the Netherworld, they breathed a long sigh of relief. Finally, the destination of the Netherworld trip can be regarded as the destination.
At the same time, the biggest challenge has come.
Here, Lin Tao had to compete with hundreds of other people for the only ten Pandora's Box seats. Also here, the frontier is boundless to take revenge. Even more here, everyone knows very well what will happen next. The greed, killing, fear, pain, sickness, and lust unleashed by Pandora's Box will haunt everyone's heart.
Lin Tao exhaled slowly, the final result of this line will depend on a few days later.
After entering the central area of the Netherworld, you can clearly feel that there are more and more fighters around. And the strength of these people is not uneven, the highest according to Lin Tao's estimation, at least has the strength of the late stage of the fighter, and the lowest is only the middle stage of the fighter. Of course, most of the people's strength is at the level of the Great Fighter.
The reason why Lin Tao and Jiang Wubian didn't meet other fighters along the way was because they chose the most difficult path, starting from Walla City. However, they had to do this, as it would be much farther to enter the central part of the Netherworld through other entrances, even from other countries. And from the beginning, the two of them probably didn't plan to go to the central area of the Netherworld, so they could only say that they came here today by mistake.
The central area of the Netherworld is actually small, but it is the strangest place.
Sure enough, Lin Tao and Jiang Wubian saw the patriarch of the Aita clan here, that is, the person who ferried Jiang Wubian and Lin Tao through the cold water bay lake, and took away the five years of life of the two. Seeing this patriarch of the Aita clan, Lin Tao couldn't help but look surprised even beyond the boundary, it stands to reason that he should be waiting for the next group of people to be ferryed by the lake in Hanshuiwan, how did he come here?
However, the people of the Atta tribe were born with poor eyesight, and Lin Tao and the others saw him, but he did not see Lin Tao and Jiang Wubian. It was impossible for the two of them to ask him, because in Lin Tao and Jiang Wubian's minds, this guy was strange everywhere.
In addition to being inhabited by the Ata, there are other people of the Ota clan and with strange professions, such as witches. Witches are powerful in their magical powers, chanting spells and summoning gods with the help of herbs, turning those who offend them into animals and creating illusions that don't exist, hiding the moon and sun to make the land dark, and poisoning their enemies.
None of the fighters from Izumo dared to harass these witches, because it was rumored that a fighter had disturbed a witch's lunch break without knowing whether he was alive or dead, and the witch was turned into a bird and put in a cage, and he was never seen walking out of the witch's house in the middle of the tree.
Therefore, the natives of the central area of the Netherworld are a group of eccentric, powerful, and difficult to mess with in the minds of the fighters. If it's not necessary, it's better not to provoke.
And in the next two or three days, more and more fighters came to the small central area of the Netherworld. The only purpose for these people to come here is naturally to open Pandora's box once every decade. These people are like Jiang Wubian said, all of them are people who have an almost fanatical mentality about strength! They can sacrifice everything for the sake of strength, as long as strength!
Even Lin Tao felt that the people here were almost all a bunch of crazy people.
And Jiang Wubian has been looking for the murderers who killed his partners in Cold Water Bay and robbed him of his treasures in the past few days. But unfortunately, he found no trace of this horse, so it may not have arrived yet. Therefore, Jiang Wubian had to hold his temper and wait for the opening of Pandora's box two days later.
However, what Lin Tao didn't expect was that he actually saw a long-lost face here. It was his brother, who had been born and died with him, a loner who had been willing to live for six years in that lonely and dangerous part of the Black Forest in order to improve his strength. When Lin Tao saw him, the huge surprise that came with it can be imagined.
