Chapter 1090 Going deep into the ground
Lu Gaoyin''s palace is different from the ones that Duanmuhuai has seen. Generally, palaces are built up high, the higher the ones, the better. Lu Gaoyin''s palace was the opposite. There were only two floors on the ground, and then it was dug very deeply below... In fact, it is understandable to think about it. This kind of desert city is full of yellow sand flying around. If you open a window, you will have to eat a dirt-like face. In comparison, although the ground is not transparent, it is at least not as hot as the ground, so it is comfortable, right?
Of course, this is a nightmare for the guards stationed here.
"Is this the one below?"
Duanmuhuai looked at the dim stairs in front of him and asked. When he heard his inquiry, the guards next to him also answered tremblingly.
"Yes, yes, Lord Brave... those demons are just appearing below, and we have no choice..."
According to the king, the bottom was originally his harem, but now it has become a playground for the demons. As for the people who were originally there, they were basically dead. At first, the king was so arrogant that he wanted to send troops down to expel the demons and retake the palace. However, he had connected several teams but had no news, so he became obedient and cowardly.
Now, every layer of passage has been completely blocked, but even so, the guards guarding the passage are frightened, fearing that when the demons will rush out from below to kill them. In this dark, narrow and terrifying environment, the spirit of these guards is almost at their limit.
"I understand, leave it to me to handle it, open it."
"yes……!"
Hearing Duanmuhuai''s orders, the guard holding the torch hurried forward, opened the blocked iron cover, and then pulled it up with force. Then the searchlight on Duanmuhuai''s helmet lit up, and then he walked down the stairs and advanced downwards.
“Boom!”
The thick iron door closed heavily on Duanmuhuai''s head again. It was obvious that if Duanmuhuai could not complete his mission, he would not have to consider it.
But Duanmu Huai obviously doesn’t care about such a small problem.
"Hey... to be honest, I really hate this kind of environment."
The underground of the palace was naturally pitch black, and there was no fingers in sight, and there was even no sound. In the pale light of the searchlight, you can only see blood and remains of corpses everywhere on the ground. Suddenly, it seemed like I had come to the set of some kind of horror game.
"Well, let me see... There is indeed a subspace reaction, it''s here..."
Duanmuhuai opened the bird divination instrument, detected the surrounding area, and then continued to walk forward.
“Dong…dong…dong…dong…dong…dong…dong!”
There was silence around, and only the heavy footsteps of Duanmuhuai echoed in it. Of course, if you listen carefully, you might hear a "da da da" sound similar to the bugs. But Duanmu Huai didn''t care about this. He just took the bird Buyi and stared at the signal strength above, then turned left and right to find the path...
"Roar!"
Suddenly, just as Duanmuhuai passed through another door, a huge demon with four arms and bright red all over his body suddenly emerged from behind the door. It roared and waved the scimitar in Duanmuhuai. However, Duanmuhuai didn''t even look at it, and punched it with a backhand, completely smashing the demon''s upper body into pieces.
But this was just the beginning. The attack of this demon seemed to sound the horn of attack. For a moment, countless monsters surged out of the darkness from all directions. The demon with four arms rushed over with a scimitar. Behind them, skeleton monsters raised their hands and emitted electric currents to Duanmuhuai.
The shining white lightning crisscrossed in the dark confined space, illuminating the originally dark and light-free world. Duanmu Huai, who was in it, was hit by countless lightning beams, and the jumping current was floating around the body.
If it were an ordinary person, he would have turned into coke under such an attack and had no bones. However, for Duanmuhuai, this level of attack is not even tickling, and it has no effect except for creating some light pollution.
So Duanmu Huai also snorted coldly.
"Go to die!"
Accompanied by Duanmuhuai''s roar, the fearful light mixed with the aura of destruction spread out instantly with Duanmuhuai as the center and spread around.
The first ones were naturally those bright red demons. The moment they were swept by the fearful aura filled with the aura of destruction, their bodies began to expand, deform, and then exploded instantly. The same is true for those lightning beams flying towards Duanmuhuai. They disappeared silently into the air, as if they were swallowed by some kind of dark and huge existence. Finally, there are skeleton monsters that release lightning beams on the outside. They are even more fragile and vulnerable, bursting and shattering directly, turning into broken bones.
Of course, this was just a momentary incident. For Duanmu Huai, he just whispered, and then the monsters around him exploded one after another, scattered gold coins and garbled weapons all over the ground.
In less than ten seconds, the underground world, which had just become noisy due to the appearance of monsters, has returned to the dark and quiet state.
"Really, even a miscellaneous fish of this level can''t be dealt with... It seems that Lu Gaoyin''s strength is limited."
Duanmu Huai glanced around and shook his head. At the same time, he became confused. As far as Duanmu Huai saw at present, Lu Gaoyin was definitely not a match for these demons. If they wanted to completely destroy or occupy the city, the guards on it could not stop it at all, and there was a demon king here. Logically speaking, this broken place should have been turned into a dead city by the demon king?
And the most important thing is...what is the Demon King?
Duanmu Huai did not detect a powerful psychic reaction like Andalier here, which means that the devil is not under the palace?
Then what''s going on? Where did so many demons emerge?
Forget it, just take a look.
For Duanmuhuai, it is not difficult to find the core coordinate points. Just use the birdbuyi to find the place with the strongest reaction in the subspace, and then smash it through the floor and jump down...
"Oh, found it."
With a "boom", Duanmuhuai, who fell from the ceiling like a demon, raised her head and saw an open portal in front of him. Judging from the blood and strange magic circles around him, this portal should be the culprit for the demon to appear in the palace.
But why did this magic circle appear in the palace?
You will know if you go in and take a look.
Duanmu Huai was too lazy to think so much, but he held the war hammer tightly, then walked into the dark red portal in front of him with big strides.
“Huh———!”
The next moment, the storm mixed with yellow sand slapped Duanmuhuai''s helmet again. "What the **** is this?"
Looking at the scene in front of him, Duanmu Huai was stunned. He originally thought that this place would be a place similar to **** or some demon palace, but after looking carefully, he realized that it looked like a Gobi canyon. Not only that, there were no demons or demon kings around.
Have you gone to the wrong place?
Duanmuhuai scratched his helmet and looked around with a confused look on his face. Then he found that around this canyon, there were huge stone doors like a tomb and palace standing in it.
“So far!”
At this moment, a hoarse voice suddenly sounded, and Duanmu Huai turned his head and looked at the place where the sound was made. I saw a big beard with hair and beard, looking like I hadn''t taken a shower for decades. The old mage with a few slimming poles appeared behind him for some reason, holding a staff in his hand and staring at him fiercely.
"Leave here! I will never let you find the ancient tomb of Tarasha! The demon **** must not be released! This world is going to be destroyed!"
"Who is Tarasha? What''s going on with the ancient tomb? In addition, this world is about to be destroyed... Can you speak well?"
Looking at the crazy old mage in front of him, Duanmu Huai also asked, but the latter seemed to have completely lost his mind. He instantly summoned dozens of ghosts and undead creatures in one fell swoop, surrounding Duanmu Huai.
"You can''t find the ancient tomb of Tarasha! Only one of the seven ancient tombs is real. I won''t tell you which one it is...! Go and die!"
As he spoke, the old mage raised the staff in his hand, and soon, magic shot out one by one and smashed towards Duanmuhuai.
"You don''t have to tell me, I will find it myself."
However, the old mage''s spell had no effect. Duanmu Huai suddenly reached out and directly penetrated the magic released by the old mage, grabbed his head, and then a dazzling flash appeared. Immediately afterwards, Duanmu Huai grabbed his right hand with force, and the next moment the headless corpse fell to the ground, and the undead creatures summoned by the old mage disappeared.
"I''m crazy and I can''t find anything anymore. Please ask the shadow."
Looking at the corpse of the old mage lying on the ground, Duanmu Huai shook her head, then snapped her fingers. The next moment, his shadow began to roll gradually, and then, a figure exactly like the previous old mage appeared in front of Duanmu Huai.
"Owner."
"Okay, tell me everything you know."
"yes."
Compared to the crazy old mage, Shadow''s consciousness was quite normal, so he also told Duanmu Huai the whole story - but then again, the identity of this old mage really surprised Duanmu Huai.
When Duanmu Huai beat Leorek before, he heard from Dika Kane that Leorek was bewitched and went crazy by the demon god, and the demon **** was also resurrected with the help of Leorek''s second son. It was his eldest son Aidan who summoned a group of adventurers to go deep into the ground, defeated the demon **** and sealed it again.
And this old mage is one of the adventurers!
After Aidan sealed the Demon God, everyone went their separate ways, and the old mage has been investigating about the Demon God''s seal since then.
But as the saying goes, when you stare at the abyss, the abyss is also staring at you. The old mage also learned about the devils'' plans through adventures.
"Dark Soul Stone is a lie! The lie of the demon god! It is a lie they actively spread to stay in this world! We think the Dark Soul Stone can seal the demon god, but this means that it is left in our world! Aidan is wrong! We are all wrong!"
From the shadow of the old master, Duanmu Huai also learned another news that left him speechless.
That is, after Prince Aidan defeated the Demon God and sealed it to the Dark Soul Stone again, he did not find a place to put the Dark Soul Stone up, but inserted it directly into his forehead!
Hearing this, Duanmu Huai looked question-marked.
Is this prince''s brain still normal? What is this operation?
Alas, but this operation was not something that people thought of. Someone did this a few hundred years ago!
That is the great wizard Tarasha!
At that time, in order to seal Bar, one of the three great demons, Taraxia took the initiative to sacrifice his body and inserted the dark soul stone that sealed Bar into his chest, and then he sealed it in his tomb. In order to avoid incidents similar to those who came to rob the prison, Tarasha even built six fake tombs, and then he used his body as a prison to completely imprison Bar.
Prince Aidan also got inspired from this story, and then... But why did you put it in your head?
Where can I insert my body in such a big place? Do you have to insert my head?
Taraxia didn''t insert her forehead.
After the old mage learned about this, he hurried to find Prince Aidan, but Prince Aidan had already left Drystum at that time. The old mage''s own situation was not much better. Although he learned about the demon''s plan, his consciousness was greatly stimulated and gradually began to collapse and fragment. He could only stumbling, according to the deepest impression in his mind, and head to Lugaoin - in order to avoid others finding Tarasha''s tomb, he released Barr, so he planned to block them before everyone else.
Even the shadow couldn''t explain what happened next, because at this time the old mage''s mind had been completely broken and he had completely become a madman.
In short, what he knew was that only one of the seven ancient tombs in Tarasha was real, and the others were fake.
If you want to open the real tomb, you must find the Staff of Heradik, and if you want to reorganize the Staff of Heradik, you also need the Staff of Heradik... Duanmu Huai''s face turned green when he heard this.
Damn it was playing with me on purpose, right? Do you think I have the patience to find this and that, that and that?
"Okay, I get it."
After listening to the old master''s shadow report, Duanmu Huai waved his hand to recycle it, and then looked around.
Well, there are seven gates and seven mausoleums, which means that one of them is true, right?
It''s too troublesome to find one by one...
Thinking of this, Duanmuhuai reached out and silently took out the hot melt bomb from his arms.
It''s better to explode.
