Chapter 152: The Pit of Flesh and Blood

Gaia, who was walking in the front, supported the pale female priest with her arm, and then walked to the edge and looked down, even though he was extremely mentally enduring, he couldn't help but gasp.

The pit was about a kilometer in diameter, but at this time the pit was filled with all kinds of strange decomposing corpses, and the ditch was filled with blood, and judging by the color, it seemed that it had been killed not long ago. And the most frightening thing is not the corpses of these various creatures covered with deep pits, but underneath the corpses, there are some obvious things wriggling, these wriggling things seem to be sucking the flesh and blood of these creatures, and the fangs covered with blood in the mouth are exposed to the air, giving people an unusually hideous feeling.

The Templar Commander himself did not expect so many corpses to appear in this pit in just a few days, and after taking a few steps back, he found that the young man next to him was staring at the terrible scene without changing his face.

"Three days ago, there were only a few half-dark creatures roaming here, how ...... No wonder we smelled a strong fishy smell yesterday. "The knight's psychological quality is also not bad, and after a little adjustment, he calmed down, and then said to everyone.

"Darkny, let the Undead Monarch clean up the stuff underneath. Gaia said to Jenny, the pit below was full of blood and corpses, and Gaia herself would feel disgusted if she stepped over it.

After the Undead Monarch was summoned, the pure necromantic creature saw the corpse below, its red eyes became even more eerie, and it let out a special ghostly howl. His translucent body immediately floated to the top of the pit, and the long Death Scythe drew a few black trails with a turbid current, and then the whole body was loaded into the pool of flesh and blood.

"This ...... What is this!" The Knight Chief and the Priest all looked at the Undead Monarch in amazement, this was the first time they had seen such a pure undead creature, and in this dark canyon, if they didn't go deeper, they could only see some disgusting things like skeletons and zombies at most.

The Undead Monarch knew from its appearance alone that it was definitely not a terrifying creature that could be provoked casually, especially the creepy human skin cloak, which was also in an ethereal state, enveloping the undead monarch's turbid body. There were no feet underneath the cloak, and even the hands of the Undead Monarch were made up of a cloud of black gas, in which the shape of a claw could be seen, and the death scythe seemed to float at the creature's side.

Before, when besieging and killing that thousand-year-old monster, the undead monarch absorbed the blood of more than a hundred papal mages, which made the undead monarch transform several times, and at this time, Gaia was not sure what level this "pet" raised by Dark Ni had reached, and now that there were so many pieces of blood and flesh in the pit, it would definitely allow this undead creature to transform again.

The blood that filled the pit began to swirl, and the undead monarch rooted in the center controlled the incessant infusion into its body, and those creatures wriggling in the flesh and blood found that the powerful undead creatures had absorbed the nourishment here, and they all let out a terrified roar, as if calling for their companions.

The Undead Monarch is the commander of the undead, how could it be possible for it to let these creatures do whatever they want here, and directly let out a roar, and suddenly a gust of yin wind swept through the entire deep pit, rolling all those creatures that could move into flesh and blood, crushing them to pieces.

The undead mixed in this pit are all low-level creatures, and after being shocked by the undead monarch, they don't dare to roar indiscriminately, and everyone standing outside the pit waits slowly, waiting for the undead monarch to suck all the flesh and blood into their bodies.

The crimson blood had already begun to turn upside down, and the two knights and priests were all looking at this scene with strange expressions, and then looked at the little girl who controlled the undead monarch with some disbelief.

The undead monarch's "eating" speed was very fast, and half of the flesh and blood within a radius of kilometers had been sucked in, but its body still hadn't changed much, but the eyes stained red by blood looked even more demonic.

"Let's go. Gaia glanced at the pit and said to the crowd. It took the undead monarch a very short time to suck in everything that could be sucked into his body, including those low-level undead creatures that were originally wriggling in the pool of blood, and the entire pit no longer looked so terrifying except for some mud layers that were stained with blood.

“...... How could Darkey raise such a disgusting guy. Selene had witnessed the whole process of the undead monarch's sucking, and she glanced at the extremely cute little Darkny, and muttered.

"The relationship between the Dark Clan and the undead is somewhat similar to that between us humans and Warcraft, and it has little to do with Darkni himself. Gaia said.

"Hmm...... Well. Anni nodded his little head with a high pretence.

"We don't know how to get there, but I'd love to walk down with you. After crossing the pit, the chief knight said. The knight chief was also puzzled, in just three days, the pit was filled with a large pile of corpses, although there was still some distance from the previous level, but there was no reason why they were unaware, although the knight chief was a little afraid, but still wanted to satisfy his curiosity.

"Miss Reverend, you and Hess should go back first. The chief knight said to the other two. After seeing the appearance of the Undead Monarch, the Knight Captain also slightly affirmed the strength of this team, after all, even a pet's pet had an aura that made him feel afraid.

"I wanted to go deeper, too. The little pastor, who rarely spoke, spoke for the first time. The other knight, Hess, turned pale when he saw the pool of flesh, and the chief knight knew that the young Templar knight didn't have much experience, so he let him go back first.

The six of them crossed the pit and continued on their way, but the smell of blood in the humid air grew heavier, making it always feel like they were soaked in blood and breathing harder.

"What a nostalgic smell......" Walking among the narrow mountain walls, Fei Ze suddenly let out such an exclamation, causing the other five to look at him with a strange look.

Fei Ze smiled lightly: "Adjust the atmosphere, this silence is easy to cause inexplicable panic, in addition, this smell does make me feel very familiar, just from the feeling." “

"This is supposed to be the boundary between the Simon Empire and the Tolan Empire, Fetzer, you used to live here?" asked Gaia. Gaia remembered that Fei Ze was in the Tolan Empire after he entered the world, and he had dealt with the Holy Maiden of the Temple of Orpheum before, so the place where he originally cultivated was probably at the junction of the two empires.

"Well, so I feel like I'm revisiting the old place. Fetzer said. Actually, Dark Canyon Fetzer has been here a long time ago, but that was a long time ago. The Dark Canyon has changed a lot, at least in the past, there were very few undead creatures in the area in front of the Dark Canyon, only a few special creatures that were corrupted or cursed by the darkness.

"Oh, yes, I suddenly remembered. "I remember that there was a semi-dark creature called 'Evil Spirit' in the Dark Canyon, and this kind of thing had a very bad habit of piling all the creatures they hunted together for a period of time, cutting the blood vessels of these creatures with their claws, letting their blood drain to form a pool of blood, and then jumping into the pool of blood to bathe. It's a very pleasant treat for the spirits, just like us humans soaking in a steaming hot spring, but if they're thirsty and hungry, they bury their heads in the flesh, open their mouths, and pour ...... into their throats."

"Don't say it!" the priest said in a cold tone, Fei Ze already made people feel disgusting after talking about the habits of evil ghosts, but this guy compared the corpses and plasma in the pit just now to human hot springs, and even planned to describe the details of those evil ghosts bathing in hot springs, which was even more unbearable.

After hearing this description, the chief knight shuddered, the pit just now was a thousand meters away, if it was all hunted by those so-called evil ghosts, then the pit would be filled with the corpses of demonic beasts and animals within three days, and the number of evil ghosts would definitely be hundreds or thousands.

"It's just that I'm a little strange, the Undead Monarch has drained the bright red hot springs, why haven't the demons appeared yet, could it be that they also know how to be hospitable?" Fei Ze didn't continue to describe, but said such a question.

After walking through the pit, there were several forks in the canyon, and since the chief knight himself had not crossed the pit, they had to find their own way.

"How did the terrain go up?" the attentive Céline always walked carefully, for there were always visible traces of blood or severed limbs of animals in the dirt filled with all sorts of disgusting mixtures, and she didn't want to step on them.

"Well, the fishy smell is getting heavier. Gaia also felt strange that the Undead Monarch had already sucked up all the flesh and blood from the pit, but the smell of blood was even stronger.

It wasn't long after walking along the forked gorges of the deep pit that it was getting dark. The real scary thing about the Dark Canyon is at night, because most of the creatures in the Dark Canyon hate sunlight, and even if the Dark Canyon is shrouded in some dark black gas at any time, it will make these dark creatures feel disgusted by the temperature of the sun.

When evening came, the dark canyon became silent, a kind of dead silence, even the words felt abrupt, as if the slightest sound would attract the prying eyes of countless unknown creatures.

"Don't go it alone at night. "Gaia used earth magic to turn the muddy ground into a hard rocky ground, and then took the tent out of the spatial bracelet and told everyone to try not to go far, as they didn't plan to use lighting magic.

Dark creatures are afraid and averse to light, and if you use lighting magic, the feared creatures will naturally retreat, but if it is only dark creatures that are anti-light and anti-light, then it is likely to cause a large group of light-averse creatures to gather here and attack them.

When night fell completely, the whole canyon was dark, and Celine, who was hiding in Gaia's arms, always wanted to talk to Gaia to get rid of the fear in her heart.

"Gaia, I seem to hear the sound of running water. "Although Selene is no longer as timid as before, this is the most terrifying dark canyon in the entire Eden continent. When she was at the entrance to the Forbidden Land, Dais, who pretended to be Slow, mentioned many times: Fortunately, the Forbidden Land did not drift to the Dark Canyon. It can be seen that the horror of this dark canyon is not just the fiction of those bards who like to exaggerate.

"Yes, I heard that, too. Gaia nodded, Gaia had deliberately used earth magic to make the terrain in the middle of the canyon more airy, and the sound of running water was flowing through the hollow ditches on either side of their tent.

"Then why don't you say that?" Serene looked out of the tent, but it was pitch black outside, and she couldn't see anything.

"I'm just afraid you'll feel disgusting. "Outside, the lower ground is covered in blood, and the blood is going in the same direction as the pit we walked in before. Didn't Fetzer say before that there is a creature called a 'demon'......"

"You...... Don't talk about it, I want to get a good night's sleep tonight. Knowing that the gurgling sound of running water was actually the big pit of blood being poured into before, Selene shuddered. It was pitch black outside, and Selene couldn't see anything now, except for the smell that was a little unpleasant, hiding in the tent didn't make much of a difference, and she would rather spend the night in fear, and Selene would rather not know anything.

It must be impossible to pretend that you don't know anything, because the blood in the lower ditches on both sides has begun to gradually spread to the middle, and it has risen to the ground that Gaia has specially increased, and the thick smell of blood is unusually pungent, and Celine can't calm down even if she wants to meditate.

"Didn't I tell you before, if you feel scared, don't come in, this dark canyon even makes me feel a little cold. Seeing that Celine was fidgeting, Gaia said to her.

Originally, Gaia planned to let Celine stay in Blackhorn City, but this time she went to the Dark Canyon mainly for exploration, and if you don't consider the plague, it's a place you can go or not.

"But...... I was even more scared to be alone in that ghost town. Céline whispered. Although she was very interested in many ancient ruins, she did not know about this dark canyon alone, because the records in those books were like terrible stories, and where could Celene as a girl study them seriously.

As she spoke, she felt a sticky sensation beneath her feet, and she lit up her surroundings with a simple flame so that she could see what it was.

"Blood!!!" said Selene, who turned pale with fright, for at some point the blood had spread into the tent, and the corners of the tent had been stained with the crimson paste.
