The location of the fragment of the origin of the earth is a somewhat familiar place name.
Red Rock Mountains, Jinhui Underground Palace.
The Red Rock Mountain Range is one of the largest mountain ranges in the human world. The range covered by the mountain system is quite large, spanning eight kingdoms. The real main body is not within these kingdoms, but close to the desolate area without human habitation.
Although the number and coverage area of empires and kingdoms in the human world far exceeds that of the demons, there is a limit. Just like the demons, there are also remote areas that are inaccessible.
The main part of the Red Rock Mountain Range is in the wilderness area. Although it is sparsely populated and full of various dangers, it is rich in resources, especially mineral deposits. Therefore, the cave dwarves, who are good at ore mining, chose this place as their base camp and dug out a staggering underground world, the Jinhui Underground Palace.
The Jinhui Underground Palace used to be one of the most important sources of mineral deposits in the surface world. There was an endless stream of business travelers who came to order or exchange materials for ore, and opened up a very distinctive "ore trade route".
Just over a year ago, an unprecedented earthquake occurred in the main mountain range of the Red Stone Mountains, and even the nearby countries were affected accordingly. The biggest victims of the earthquake were the cave dwarves in the Jinhui Underground Palace, the underground home they worked so hard to build. All collapsed and destroyed in the earthquake. The cave dwarves were forced to leave the Red Rock Mountains and migrate to the Black Rock Mountains in the human kingdom, which is the thick earth castle of the hill dwarves.
However, this is only the appearance known to the outside world. After experiencing the events of Houtu Castle and Stone Fist Village, Chen Rui has already touched the truth of the "migration" of cave dwarves—the abyss.
Chen Rui once destroyed the altar of the abyss in the underground mine of Houtu Castle, and deduced that the black hand behind the catastrophe of the cave dwarves, including the entire evidence, was probably Sosbach, one of the three masters of the abyss, the fear master. Speaking of which, he had just fought fiercely with Quiliana, the master of hatred in the Emerald Forest, and escaped from death, and now he has to face Sosbach again. This trip to the human world can be said to be "destined" with the abyss.
When he was just reborn in the Demon Realm, Chen Rui had no strength. At that time, in the cognition category, high-level demons were already incredibly powerful existences. With the growth of their own strength, they reached a higher level. , the Devil Emperor, and even the Devil Emperor standing at the pinnacle of the world. When he surpassed this "highest" level step by step, he realized that it was just the beginning of another wider world.
In this broader world, he has come into contact with more and stronger opponents, as well as many secrets that were previously unknown, such as the silver box, the gods, the mystery of the elements, the abyss...
When Chen Rui was still a human being with no power to restrain a chicken, struggling in the dark moon, he just wanted to survive surrounded by so many "demons", and he didn't know the abyss crisis at all. But now, he has a higher level of strength and cognition, and after he understands the terrible threat of the abyss to the entire world... it is impossible to stand idly by.
I don't want to be a savior, I just want to live with the people I cherish.
The king of the fire element, Ogmadon, passed by the Red Stone Mountains many years ago, and sensed that the underground volcanoes here had special fire element flares, and then found some strange fire element bodies in the underground volcanoes. These elemental bodies are not elemental people, nor do they have independent consciousness. When they went deeper, the fire elemental king was surprised to feel the breath of the power of the original law of the earth system, and concluded that the fragments of the origin of the earth should be somewhere in the ground. The location happened to be in the direction of the golden underground palace on the ground.
In addition to the original aura of the earth element, the fire elemental king also noticed an extremely dangerous and terrifying aura nearby, full of hostility, far beyond his ability to resist the enemy, so Ogmadon gave up his intention to continue exploring.
The Jinhui Underground Palace was originally in Chen Rui's itinerary, but now the fragments of the origin of the earth have fallen. Just during this period of time, "Arthur" disappeared mysteriously due to a certain incident. This trip to the Jinhui Underground Palace is imperative .
Not only Laura was there, but Pagliu and Diudiu were also there. Dulong was stimulated by Laura's becoming a demigod and clamored to "upgrade" with him. Although Diudiu had no great ambitions, in the eyes of foodie , the most terrifying thing is not the abyss, but the inability to eat and drink spicy food with the master.
In this way, one person, two dragons and one worm trekked all the way into the Red Stone Mountains.
Although it has been more than a year since the earthquake, the traces of damage left behind are still quite obvious. There are generally no magic maps drawn in remote areas. Due to the relationship between the "Ore Trade Road", it is not difficult to get a detailed related map. A few days later , Chen Rui and others arrived at the main mountain area and found the location of the Jinhui underground palace marked on the map.
Jinhui Underground Palace is a huge palace on the mountain wall, not too big in scale, square and simple in style. Chen Rui has seen the house of iron trees and sparks forged by the hill dwarves, and the underground mines dug by the cave dwarves. They are all generous. He knows that this "palace" is just the entrance of the real Jinhui underground palace. One can imagine the exaggeration after entering the palace. underground world.
Unlike the mountainous areas we passed through before, there are no animals in the main mountain range, and the plants are relatively rare. Most of them are some mutated varieties, showing a strange and dead silence.
After everyone entered the entrance of the mountain wall, they found that except for the "shell" of the palace, all the passages leading to the ground were sealed by collapsed rocks.
In fact, there are still many traces of damage and prying in the palace, which are relatively new from the traces. Obviously, during the time when Chen Rui and others came to the Jinhui Underground Palace, more than one group of people came here. Most likely, they wanted to take advantage of the dwarves. Unfortunately, they couldn't open the collapsed entrance, so they had to give up in the end.
"Look at me!" Pagliu stepped on the ground with his hand, and strands of green quickly spread forward. The venom of the poisonous dragon is indeed very overbearing. Wherever it passes, those huge stones turn into light smoke and dissipate. Even some extremely strong ores are decomposed into particles and scattered.
The blocked channel slowly dents backward at a speed visible to the naked eye. However, after reaching a certain level, the speed and "quality" of the dent began to decline significantly, and it was no longer possible to advance as before. Some relatively loose ores were corroded. , the chaotic world next to it collapsed again, continuing to block the passage.
"No, it's not that poison can't destroy these ores." Pagliu scratched his head: "This palace has nothing on the surface, but the deeper it goes down, the more special power it has, which greatly weakens the power of the toxin. There is indeed a problem here!"
Laura nodded: "When I entered the main mountain range area, I felt the abnormal fluctuations of the elements. The vicinity is full of strange forces, and there are quite restrictions on the perception and even the power of the country. The blocking distance of these passages is obviously quite long. It takes It is very difficult to break through and enter directly, so we have to find another way.”
Pagliu frowned: "What I'm curious about now is, how could so many hill dwarves have escaped if it was this level of collapse?"
"The hill dwarves have lived underground for a long time, and are naturally very sensitive to some changes in the earth's crust. It is very likely that most of their tribesmen have been evacuated before the catastrophe is imminent," Chen Rui said, "However, this is just a hypothesis, and it is more likely My assumption is that the abyss deliberately released those dwarves, the purpose is to erode the hill dwarves and forest dwarves, and then spread the power of the abyss to the surrounding countries step by step. According to Lola, the power of the abyss has already spread here, although the intensity is higher than that of the abyss. Not going to Yinyue Xiandu, but there is no seal protection similar to that of the elves here, everyone must be careful."
Everyone walked out of the palace and tried to penetrate the mountainside directly, but it was easy to make a hole of a few meters, and it was difficult to break in if it was more than ten meters. It was obvious that they were protected by some kind of power. The more so, the more it proved that this place is not simple .
Chen Rui pondered and said: "We are here today mainly for the fragments of the origin of the earth, as for the abyss behind the Jinhui underground palace... mainly to investigate information, try not to disturb it as much as possible."
"You seem to be a little too cautious?" Pagliu said casually. He has not personally experienced the battle with the abyss. He feels that all of his side are super-level powerhouses, as well as Chen Rui and Luo La. With demigod-level combat power, unless you encounter a false god, you will walk sideways wherever you go. There is no need to be like an enemy like this.
"The abyss, it's scary." Luo La's short sentence made the poisonous dragon shut up immediately, and it is definitely a truly terrifying existence that can still make "female lunatics" feel "scary".
As for Diudiu on Chen Rui's shoulder, he has always regarded greed for life and fear of death as a virtue, let alone being careless.
Judging from the experience of the fire elemental king Ogmardon, if there is no special change, the fragments of the origin of the earth should still be in the Red Stone Mountains, and the hostility that makes even the elemental king fearful is likely to be the abyss. strength. It seems that just like the tree of nature or the altar of the Nightmare Volcano, the premeditation of the abyss was buried early on.
If it is allowed to develop, once it breaks out, it will be the end of the world.
Laura looked in another direction: "The possibility of directly entering the Jinhui Underground Palace is almost zero now, so we can consider the route explored by the fire element king back then. The fire element density here is relatively high. I think we should be able to find that The entrance to the subterranean volcano."
The process of finding the underground palace was not smooth, because the interference force here was too strong, and it took Laura seven hours to find a cave in a mountain range far away from the Jinhui underground palace.
The trees in this area are lush and lush, which is completely different from the barren land near the Jinhui Underground Palace. The cave does not look like the entrance of an underground volcano.
Chen Rui did not doubt Lola's judgment, took out the lighting magic props, and walked in first, Lola followed closely behind, Pagliu looked around, muttered a few words in his mouth, and walked to the back of the line.
It's not that the poisonous dragon deliberately walked at the end lazily, but the melee system, magic system, and melee system. This is the most suitable simple formation for exploration.
There are still many passages under the cave, like a small maze. With Lola's induction, she didn't feel too much trouble, so she chose the direction directly and continued to move forward.
About two hours later, the humid air began to dry up, and the temperature gradually increased. After turning through several winding passages, the light suddenly brightened, and the eyes were full of fiery red.
Chen Rui's eyes also lit up, the underground volcano was finally found, thanks to Laura!
River-like fiery magma flows around, and the black-brown rocks on the ground appear extremely solid, but there are many places where you can't settle down, you can only jump or fly over.
The hotter feeling became stronger as it went forward, and the temperature began to become surprisingly high. Even Pagliu felt the strain, and Diudiu was even more unbearable.
It didn't matter to Chen Rui, the "Fire and Phoenix Stigmata" given to him by Duo Duo at the beginning can reduce the damage of the fire element, and there is still a 10% chance of complete immunity, which is not a problem at all.
With a light swipe of Laura's finger, the red light on everyone's bodies appeared and then disappeared, and the feeling of hot suffocation suddenly decreased a lot. This is the "Fire Control Technique", which can increase the affinity of the fire element and reduce the damage of the fire element.
Diudiu was overjoyed, and yelled flatteringly, "The hostess is really handsome." At this time, the floating figures of Chen Rui and the three of them stopped suddenly, and they saw a huge hand stretched out suddenly in the boiling magma ahead, deforming it. The worm was frightened out of his wits.
