According to the information provided by Ye Xing, the king's guard known as the 'Filthy Demon' possesses a physique and abilities that are very troublesome.
First of all, the physique, the opponent has a strong body that matches the nickname of "Demon", its skin and muscles are a layer of natural armor. In terms of strength, it is probably about the same as the level 5 fortress. In addition to strength, it has good resistance to fire, thunder and frost. If the Heart of Elements encounters it, it will be a headache. The ability below level 6 will be greatly weakened when facing this external guard.
As for the ability, the most common attack method of the Filthy Demon is the 'Sulfur Fireball'. This fireball is fast to launch and has great power. It can be used for saturation bombing by continuous launch.
The next 'magma sword' has amazing cutting power and a high heat effect like magma. In addition, it will cause splash damage when attacking, which makes the filthy demon not afraid of group attacks.
However, the most troublesome thing about the Filthy Demon is its "mental pollution". This ability can slow down the opponent's movements at the least, or turn the opponent into a pool of filthy mud at the worst. More importantly, it can pollute the mind and make those who try to challenge it eventually become slaves of the demon.
Finally, when faced with a serious crisis, the Filthy Demon can liquidify its body and quickly escape from danger.
As for temperament, this guy is suspicious, cunning and cautious.
Therefore, on the whole, this is an extremely difficult guard, and Tianyang is not sure of winning against it.
The filthy demon's powerful physique will greatly reduce the power of many relics in Tianyang's hands, such as the Bone Crown, the Sorrow of Ice, and even the Black Thunder.
The only one that can guarantee power and be used for attack is Zihuang.
Therefore, the boy has made a preliminary battle plan. To deal with the filthy demon, he will mainly use 'Purple Glory' with 'Midnight Cloak', and use 'Confusion Dominoes' for assistance. When necessary, he can use 'Time Hourglass'.
Now, these relics have been equipped on him.
If none of these work, he still has the retreat route of the Crack Door. At worst, he can throw the filthy demon into the Drifting Town. I think Youhua should not doubt this powerful outsider.
As for whether the King of Yama would take action personally, Tianyang didn't care.
After communicating with the black fog and confirming that there was no danger behind the door, Tianyang pushed the door open with force. He could have floated in directly, but he didn't want to reveal too much information about himself, so he used the most ancient method.
The door was not heavy and had no mechanisms. Behind the door was a spacious hall with a floor paved with black stone slabs and columns of the same color standing around it.
On the pitch-black ground, a walkway was paved with gold. The long golden path extended all the way to the wall of the hall, blending seamlessly with the sunset mural on the wall.
It looked like the setting sun on the wall, casting a ray of golden afterglow on the dark ground!
Looking up, Tianyang saw round poles hanging from the high dome, connected to round candlesticks. However, there were no candles on the candlesticks, only a thick layer of ash.
“It’s spectacular.”
The short-haired girl holding the copper staff came up and said, "From the sculptures and fountains outside, to the architectural style of this temple, to the murals inside, etc. The artistic techniques presented in these things are exactly the same as the civilization of No. 127, the world of the opposite world. It makes people wonder...
, these things, these buildings, were they once part of the 127th Reverse World. "
"You know a lot about the Reverse World No. 127." Tianyang looked back at her.
The girl, who no longer had a confused expression on her face, smiled and said, "Before entering each inverse world, I will learn about the information of this inverse world in advance. Even if it is impossible to have a comprehensive understanding, the more I know, the more confident I will be in exploring it."
“It’s my personal habit.”
"It's a good habit." Tianyang said calmly.
"Thanks."
Hei Tong smiled slightly, with a hint of pride in her smile. She pointed to the dome and said, "Look up there."
Tianyang looked up and suddenly saw that above the candlesticks and on the dome of the auditorium, there was a huge mural.
It is connected to the paintings on the distant wall. It is majestic and colorful, but has a sense of epic and mythology.
The mural on the dome uses deep blue as the main color. Against the dark blue background, some terrifying figures hiding in the dark are outlined with just the right amount of ethereal lines.
Those shadows were twisted, weird, and filled with evil. They seemed to be hiding in the darkness, revealing their terrifying figures only inadvertently.
In the background of the dancing demons, there was a soft, golden light that extended to the end of the auditorium and connected with the mural on the wall in the middle of the auditorium, as if the light came from the sunset in the painting.
In the warm afterglow of the setting sun, there is a huge, illusory and vague figure. That figure is full of a sacred feeling, and it makes people feel at ease when they look at it.
Although there was no specific description, and even the face of the figure was blurry, Tianyang was sure that it was the 'God of Dusk'. The god that the Dusk Clan had been pursuing but had never found!
Hei Tong's voice rang out: "What do you think this mural represents?"
Tian Yang would not directly reveal the existence of the 'God of Dusk'. After a brief pause, he uttered two words: "Faith."
Hei Tong nodded: "I think so too. I think those terrifying shadows twisted in the darkness represent the people of darkness. As for the holy figure in the middle in the light, it is obviously a god."
"Combined with the sunset scene in the mural, there is no doubt that even if there is no sunset slab in this building, there will be relevant clues."
Tian Yang said disapprovingly: "It is too arbitrary to conclude that there is a dusk slab or clues based on the murals alone."
Hei Tong said confidently: "If there is nothing important stored in this building, why would there be a need for a powerful monster to guard it. Although I have not faced the monster directly, I can easily judge something from its strong malice."
"Then, this mural is themed around dusk. Since it contains important objects, it is naturally related to dusk."
"So, I am sure that the Dusk Slate is in this building, or there are clues related to it!"
Your reasoning is well-founded. Yes, the "collection" here is indeed related to dusk. Unfortunately, it is not a stone tablet, but a split consciousness of the King of Dusk.
Tian Yang did not stop and moved forward: "Whether it exists or not, we will know it after checking it out. Let's go."
As he walked, Ye Xing's spiritual fluctuations echoed in Tian Yang's mind: "Be careful, Master. Leave this auditorium.
, and the courtyard at the back is where the 'filthy demons' are active."
"That creature will observe its prey in the dark and then choose the most appropriate time to attack. Rather than passively waiting for it to attack and then counterattacking, deliberately creating the opportunity to lure it into attacking would be a good choice."
Finally you made a constructive suggestion.
Tian Yang calmly replied: "I'll see what happens."
Ye Xing was silent again, and it was unclear whether his consciousness had returned to his body or he was afraid of disturbing him.
Soon they came to the back of the auditorium, where there was a stone door on each side of the wall. The stone doors were pitch black, the same color as the ground.
There were symbols and patterns on the door, similar to the symbols on the Secret Symbol Door, but the patterns were of a setting sun and stars.
I didn't feel any special power, and Ye Xing didn't give any special hints, so it should be just an ordinary stone door.
Tianyang stretched out his hand and pressed on the stone door. With a click, a rough but not heavy friction sound, the stone door opened backwards, revealing the scene behind the door.
Before he could see the scene behind the door clearly, Tianyang felt a sense of malice. But it was not as strong as Hei Tong said, and as soon as it appeared, it seemed to sense the breath of the boy and sensitively shrank back into the depths.
Even so, Tianyang seemed to smell a pungent smell of sulfur.
Indeed, he is very cautious and cunning.
Behind the gate is a small courtyard that should have once been planted with ancient trees, but now only a few dark brown wooden stumps remain.
The stone-brick floor was covered in dust. It had been a long time since anyone had walked here.
There is a platform in the middle of the courtyard, and on the platform stands a statue. It is a mighty man with strong facial lines. He is wearing complicated heavy armor, holding a spear in his hand, and behind his back are two long swords, one thin and long, the other wide.
"This is what the Filthy Demon looked like before it was corrupted by the Eternal Night. Although it's a bit exaggerated, you can still see what it looked like when it was a human."
Ye Xing's mental fluctuations echoed in his mind again. Tian Yang did not respond. He walked towards the courtyard with firm steps.
Heitong hugged the bronze staff tightly. At this moment, the woman's face no longer had the usual confused expression.
Her eyes were bright and clear, and she landed silently like a cat, looking around vigilantly, guarding against possible attacks at any time.
If it was not collected in this building, it might be a valuable item like the 'Dusk Slate'. Given her personality, she would never want to set foot in such a dangerous place.
Even though she had found Ghost Face, Hei Tong was still worried. It was just that she had witnessed Tian Yang's strength in the Midnight Courtyard that day, and secretly watched his battle with the Executioner. She was surprised at the strength of this companion, and at the same time, she had this plan for today.
After walking around the statue in the middle of the courtyard, you can see two intersections ahead.
Without hesitation, Tianyang turned around and pointed to the left: "Let's explore separately, you go this way."
Hei Tong was about to say that this suggestion was not wise, but he saw Tian Yang's other hand making a small gesture. The woman was stunned for a moment, then she understood that the word "ghost face" was meant for the thing that was secretly monitoring them.
So he swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth. Hei Tong said nothing, walked past the boy, and went to the intersection on the left alone.
PS: There is a double monthly ticket event from today to the 21st. Is there any big support for it
