"Identity?" Zheng Xinyun was surprised. This time they made it clear that they were hiding from the light.
Why do you want to clear your identity through the portal so rashly
Zhao Xu, who had more adventure experiences, was more sensitive to this aspect and immediately reacted, "So, we are going to the plane where a certain god is?"
For the powerful, adventurers like them who enter through formal channels are easily ignored.
Even Arthur's identity as an ordinary adventurer will become their protective color.
Now they are equivalent to choosing to enter through the security inspection channel of border defense and customs instead of entering directly through smuggling channels.
"It's not a kingdom of gods. After all, many of those kingdoms exist in sub-planes and are difficult to find. But I do want to enter a country full of believers of a certain god." Antinoya explained.
As he spoke, Antinoya's eyes fell deep below this huge gap tunnel, "Our next goal is to reach the portal that can lead to the 66th layer of the abyss."
The 66th floor of the abyss, the Demon Network Pit.
As several people walked to the main tunnel of the great abyss, no matter whether they looked up or down, the sky-high tunnel was filled with broken bridges and various abandoned towers.
They lean on this tunnel and have a very long history.
What also caught the eye were many demonic bodies with broken limbs, as well as fragmented skeletons of different creatures, including humans. These skeletons became obstacles that hindered walking.
The death of demons in this abyss means that they are completely dead.
Unless a powerful demon appreciates or even receives the favor of the abyss, there is no hope of resurrection.
Zhao Xu looked at the fortresses in the abyss. Most of them were connected by bridges to another fortress, but there were no connections between fortresses at different heights.
I looked up again at this extremely steep cliff. Without twenty-level climbing skills, I couldn't maintain my balance at all. Going down rashly would be a snack for the devil.
Not to mention that according to Antinoya, the ancient Obiris demons at least had an agreement to jointly use the Great Abyss.
But in the current era of tanar'ri demons, the biggest consensus is that there is no consensus.
Although most of the demons sent to guard the portal will stay at their posts to guard the portal and live their own lives, there are still demons who have difficulty controlling themselves and attack their opponents.
For no other reason than to have some fun.
Expecting a demon to be a competent guard is like expecting an LSP to have an early enlightenment and enter rebooting.
When encountering non-demons, these guarding demons will attack crazily.
The Great Abyss is essentially an endless battlefield!
Countless adventurers who come to this portal country will duly tuck their tails and sneak into their goals quietly.
"It seems like this is the only level where flying creatures can travel smoothly." Zhao Xu said with emotion.
"That's right." Antinoya said and cast a flying spell on Yoona, and invisible wings appeared out of thin air behind her.
"Next, you all follow me closely and control the combat power output. Zhongxia, you will act as a warrior, and Yoona and I will act as rangers." Antinoya said, and she snapped her fingers.
In an instant, the adventurer costumes of the three people underwent a big change, and weapons such as crossbows and composite longbows appeared in their hands.
Then Antinoya cast several spells on Yoona, turning her into a qualified ranger on the spot.
At the same time, Antinoya took out a scroll recording the map of the Great Abyss from his arms and spread it out, "This is a map I bought from the fortress of Pazunia. Although it is better than Azgra The special market is more reliable, but it does not mean that it is completely correct. We can only follow this map to find the portal leading to the 66th floor."
Zhao Xu couldn't help but raise his eyes slightly, but he remembered that Antinoya also possessed those dark scrolls. Their most critical feature was that they were accurate and could change according to actual changes.
So Antinoya is planning to realistically simulate the three of them as ordinary adventurers
So, when forming a team with others, wouldn't I be able to boss them around and even sleep in the same tent at night
Thinking of this, Zhao Xu couldn't help but look forward to it.
"midsummer!"
Seeing Zhao Xu's somewhat erratic eyes, Antinoya couldn't help but sneered slightly. With her white and green fingers, she clicked on a location on the map.
"That portal is protected by the drow. Even though the Spider Queen Lolth they believe in is essentially a tanar'ri demon in the form of a spider, the evil drow cannot pass freely in the abyss, so the fortress Fighting breaks out from time to time outside.”
Zheng Xinyun began to realize Antinoya's plan, and then he understood why a team was equipped with a combination of soldiers and two rangers.
If the priest plays his true role, it is very likely that they will also have a war with these drow.
Although now there is at least a 50% chance that the three of them would take action without saying a word.
Antinoya continued, "Those portals are essentially two-way, and their appearance is basically a circular pool formed by pale ooze flowing from the cliff."
"The best way is for us to convince the drow to let us enter in order to please the Spider Queen. In this way, we also have a 'road guide'. If we can't convince them, then forcefully break through the portal."
At the same time, she also spread out the appearance of the target portal, letting Zhao and Xu remember it first.
Although the whole process looked like I was taking off my pants and farting.
Because Antinoya himself can use the "Gate to Another World" to reach the sixty-sixth floor without any hindrance.
But after arriving at the destination through this seemingly "clumsy" method, even if they are intruding adventurers, the initial pressure of being targeted will be very low.
After all, the three adventurers who can't even teleport or open a gate to another world are not much better at all.
Zhao Xu also looked at the fortress in the distance with some feeling, where a group of vromo were patrolling outside the fortress.
If these demons have the ability to teleport to another world, I really don't know what Arthur will use to stop them.
No wonder so many innocent civilians died in the demon sealing battle that broke out in the past life.
Bloodthirsty and cruel creatures like demons should never have been born in this world.
"After understanding the action plan, it will be up to you, Zhongxia, to take command." Antinoya said.
At this time, the three of them were still hiding in a secret passage in the gap of the main tunnel of the abyss. There was mainly a huge rock hiding their whereabouts.
Zhao Xu also directly changed his role and began to analyze as the captain: "Although the number of strongholds on the same level is limited, there is still no need to go out in such a big way."
As he spoke, he pointed to the cliff, "Although there are not many people climbing on these cliffs, after the baptism of time, there are still many shelters. We can use these locations as intermittent landings and try our best to descend to the 66th floor as secretly as possible." The level of the fortress at the gate.”
Then the three of them began to act in unison. Zhao Xu used the invisibility technique on everyone, and they continued to fly to the next landing point like a downhill exercise.
Although the powerful demons in the abyss also possess the ability of true seeing, these powerful demons are not watching the abyss tunnel 24 hours a day, not to mention that the field of vision itself has a certain range.
At the same time, in order to avoid the sound of communication, the three people are also connected in series using a "spiritual link", so that they can communicate silently directly in the heart.
During this period, we also encountered several sharp cliffs. If Antinoya hadn't used telekinesis to break off these stone thorns in time, Yoona would have been scratched on the spot. This also made Zhao Xu even more wary of the horror of this abyss. .
After all, this bottomless abyss is filled with corrosive acid lakes, poisonous clouds and smoke, caves and lava filled with spikes, as well as instantly fatal scorched salt deserts, breathless poisonous winds, and insect plains.
This kind of scorched earth environment is not a suitable place to live at all. Naturally, it cannot be inferred by the logic of Arthur's previous adventures.
Zhao Xu and the other three were able to reach the target point marked on the map without incident during the entire landing process.
However, after arriving at a secret alley, Zhao Xu found a corpse of a recently dead demon lying on the ground.
"It's a timid demon." Zhao Xu judged.
"I'm afraid the battle here just happened not long ago, was it a pursuit?" Yoona analyzed.
The place where the three of them are currently standing is quite narrow. There are huge strange stone statues on both sides. There is only a path wide for one person in the middle, and it is difficult for larger demons to squeeze through.
Only the small-sized timid demon in front of him could pass through calmly.
"This cowardly demon escaped here after being seriously injured, but it seems that it still hasn't survived." Antinoya glanced at it and analyzed the entire process.
Zhao Xu couldn't help but look behind the timid demon, and could faintly see the traces of his distant footprints, and immediately understood the reason for Antinoya's judgment.
He also explained to Yoona, "The Coward Demon is the lowest level demon in the abyss. It can only rely on its own damage reduction ability to survive the battle and evolve into a more advanced demon."
"The only tactic used by demons with a challenge level of 2 is the human sea tactic. Generally, unless a powerful demon suppresses them, the battle will be at a disadvantage, and these timid demons will disperse in a rush."
Zhao Xu also showed a strange expression as he said, "It is this instinct that makes this kind of demon named the cowardly demon, but there is one thing. The cowardly demon fears higher demons, even more than death itself."
But the timid demon is a novice, but he can still cast the fright spell and the smelly cloud technique once a day, not to mention that the timid demon can also summon the timid demon.
If you really put it on the main material plane, these three tricks are enough to pose a threat to ordinary villages. This is also the reason why the demons can cause huge losses.
After hearing Zhao Xu's explanation, Yoona understood, "So, this cowardly demon escaped here, which means it is probably still fighting. Are we here to avoid the edge?"
"Wait a minute," Zhao Xu said. "The wounds on this cowardly demon don't look like weapons, but more like monster scratches. That doesn't matter."
Zhao Xu is not afraid of timid demons. Even if ten thousand of them come again, they will be nothing more than scorched earth under the spell.
But the key point is that any rash fight in the abyss may attract greater attention. It is very likely that the situation will be out of control at once, attracting the attention of some demons with deep backgrounds on the spot, thus triggering the arrival of the demon lord behind the other party. .
"Zhongxia, what is the source of that demon?"
At this time, Yoona squatted down to observe the wound mentioned by Zhao Xu, and suddenly asked this question.
Zhao Xu turned to Antinoya aside.
This question sounds simple, but he is not qualified to answer it.
This is like asking what the origin of human beings is, but it was only after the East African origin theory and various evolutionary theories were perfected that a preliminary consensus was reached.
As for demons, their history is far older than that of humans. Even contemporary gods cannot trace back to the birth of demons.
Talking about sources is naturally beyond his ability, and it is also beyond the scope of his religious knowledge.
Antinoya thought deeply, "According to the current consensus of the association, it is the bottomless abyss and its endless layers that gave birth to these demons."
"According to Amu, the original creator of the Scroll of Darkness, demons are an extension of chaos. It is also the realm where gods, devils and other forces ascend to other planes to build themselves, or when they occupy this land of chaos, The evil left behind in the ground.”
"It's because demons originate from chaos, so there are countless types of demons?" Zhao Xu reacted intuitively.
Antinoya nodded, "That's right. In his later years, that scholar also fell into despair about establishing a complete physiological system of demons. He thought it was an impossible task and could only identify a few commonalities."
At this moment, Zhao Xu suddenly felt a pleasant roar ringing between his ears, as if a tiny feather was picking at his ears and gently scraping them.
After he shuddered, he said in surprise: "If the devil originates from chaos, shouldn't it have this vague commonality? Is this essentially a manifestation of order?"
Zhao Xu's spiritual message, like a yellow bell, shocked the minds of the other two people.
It seems like an endless loop of sophistry, but it directly points out the contradiction in the entire logic.
Everyone can have something in common, but the abyss represented by Chaos and the devil, a typical representative of the Chaos camp, do not have this qualification.
The types of other creatures are poor, and there are no commonalities. However, the types of abyssal demons are all kinds of strange, but there are indeed a few certain commonalities!
It's like it's been agreed.
Antinoya's breath was suffocated on the spot, and she didn't expect Zhao Xu to pay so much attention to this.
He looked at Zhao Xu strangely and explained: "So we can only draw one conclusion from this."
"The bottomless abyss under the feet longs for chaos and evil. It uses the ability of plane creation to try to return more parts of Arthur Tianyu to the final starting point."
"So the abyss gives demons the commonality that is best suited to spreading chaos and evil. They are a kind of replica."
"This is the nature of demons. Just know it and don't talk about it."
