The Truth of Magic

Chapter 694 The Essence of Abyss Demons

"Identity?" Zheng Xinyun was surprised, this time it was clear that they couldn't see the light.

Why rush to wash your identity through the portal?

Zhao Xu, who has more adventures, is more sensitive to this aspect, and immediately reacted, "So, we are going to the plane where a certain god is?"

For the powerful, those adventurers who honestly enter through formal channels are easily overlooked.

Even the ordinary adventurer identity from Arthur will become their protective color.

Now they are equivalent to choosing to enter through the security inspection channel of the border defense customs, rather than entering directly through smuggling channels.

"It's not a kingdom of gods either. After all, many of those kingdoms of gods exist in sub-planes and it's not easy to find, but I really want to enter a kingdom full of believers of a certain god." Antinoya explained.

Speaking of which, Antinoya's eyes fell to the depths below this huge gap tunnel, "Our next goal is to reach the portal that can lead to the 66th plane of the abyss."

The 66th floor of the abyss, the pit of the magic net.

As a few people walked to the main tunnel of the abyss, whether they looked up or down, the sky-reaching tunnel was full of broken bridges and various abandoned towers.

They lean on this tunnel obliquely and have a very long history.

Also in sight, there are many demon bodies with broken limbs, as well as the bones of different biological fragments, including human beings. These bones have become obstacles that hinder walking.

The death of the demons in this abyss means that they are completely dead.

Unless a powerful demon appreciates and even gets the favor of the abyss, there is no hope of resurrection.

Zhao Xu looked at the strongholds of the abyss. Most of them were connected to another stronghold by bridges, but there was no connection between fortresses of different heights.

Looking up again at the extremely steep cliff, without the twentieth-level climbing skills, it is impossible to maintain balance at all, and going down rashly is just a snack for the devil.

Not to mention that according to Antinoya, the ancient Obiris demons at least had an agreement to use the Great Abyss together.

But in the current era of Tanar'ri demons, no consensus is the greatest consensus.

Although most of the demons sent to guard the portal will stay at their posts to guard the portal and live their lives, there are still some demons who have difficulty controlling themselves to attack their opponents.

For nothing else, just to have fun.

Expecting the devil to be a competent guard is like expecting LSP to have an early epiphany and enter a rebooting bar.

When encountering non-demons, these guardian demons will launch attacks even more frantically.

The Great Abyss is essentially a boundless battlefield!

Countless adventurers who came to this kingdom of portals would obediently clench their tails and sneak into their targets.

"In this way, only flying creatures can pass through at this level." Zhao Xu said with emotion.

"That's right." Antinoya said and cast a flying spell on Yun'er, and invisible wings appeared from behind her.

"Next, you all follow me closely and control the output of combat power. Zhong Xia, you will play the role of warrior, and Yun'er and I will both play the role of ranger." Antinoya said, and she snapped her fingers.

In an instant, the adventurer costumes on the three of them underwent a major change, and weapons such as crossbows and composite longbows appeared in their hands.

Then Antinoya cast a few spells on Yun'er, making her a qualified ranger on the spot.

At the same time, Antinoya took out a scroll that recorded the map of the Great Abyss from his bosom, 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 a little more reliable, but it does not mean 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. He remembered that Antinoya also had those scrolls of darkness, and their most important feature was that they were accurate and could change according to actual changes.

So Antinoya decided to realistically simulate the three of them as ordinary adventurers?

That is to say, when forming a team with others, wouldn't he 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 erratic eyes, Antinoya couldn't help but slightly annoyed. With her white and green fingers, she tapped a spot on the map.

"That portal is protected by the drows, even though Rose, the spider queen they believe in, is essentially a spider-like Tanar'ri demon, but the evil drows don't travel freely in the abyss, so the fortress Fighting broke out outside from time to time."

Zheng Xinyun began to realize Antinoya's plan, and only then did he understand why a team was equipped with soldiers and two rangers.

If the priest played in his true colors, it is very likely that they will also have a battle with these drows.

Although now seeing the possibility of the three of them doing it without saying a word, there is at least a 50% chance.

Antinoya continued, "Those portals are two-way in nature, and the appearance is basically a circular pool formed by pale ooze flowing from the cliff."

"The best way is for us to convince those drows to let us enter for the sake of pleasing the Spider Queen. In this way, we also have a 'road guide'. If we can't be persuaded, we will forcefully break into this portal."

At the same time, she also opened up the appearance of the target portal, so that Zhao Xu and the two of them could remember it first.

Although the whole process looked a little like taking off his pants and farting.

Because Antinoya himself was able to use the "Gate to another world" to reach the sixty-sixth floor without hindrance.

But after arriving at the destination through this seemingly "clumsy" method, even if they are intruding adventurers, the pressure of being targeted at the beginning will be very low.

After all, the three adventurers who couldn't even do the teleportation technique or the gate to another world, no matter how you look at it, they are not very strong.

And Zhao Xu also felt something and looked at the fortress far away, where a group of flo demons were patrolling outside the fortress.

If these demons have the ability to teleport from another world, I really don't know what Arthur will use to stop them.

No wonder so many innocent civilians died in the battle of sealing demons that broke out in the previous life.

Bloodthirsty and cruel creatures like demons should never have been born in this world.

"After you understand the action plan, Zhong Xia will be in charge of you next," Antinoya said.

At this time, the three of them were still hiding in a secret path in the gap of the main tunnel of the abyss, and there was mainly a huge boulder hiding their whereabouts.

Zhao Xu also changed his role directly, 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 so ostentatiously."

As he spoke, he pointed to the cliff, "Although there are not many people climbing these cliffs, after the baptism of time, there are still many shelters. We can use these places as intermittent landings and try our best to descend to the 66th floor to teleport level of the fort at the gate."

Then the three of them started to act in unison. Zhao Xu performed the invisibility operation on the big guys, and they kept flying to the next landing point like a downhill movement.

Although the powerful demons in the abyss also have the ability of true seeing, these powerful demons are not watching the tunnel of the abyss 24 hours a day, let alone the vision itself has a certain range.

At the same time, in order to avoid the sound of communication, the three of them also connected in series with the "soul link", so that they can communicate silently directly in their hearts.

During the period, I also encountered several sharp cliffs. If Antinoya hadn't used telekinesis to break these stone thorns in time, otherwise Yun'er would have been scratched on the spot. This also made Zhao Xu more vigilant about the horror of this abyss .

After all, this bottomless abyss is full of corrosive acid lakes, highly toxic clouds and smoke, caves and lava full of spikes, as well as instantly deadly scorched salt deserts, breathless poisonous winds, and plains of thousands of insects.

This scorched-earth environment is not a suitable place to live at all, so naturally it cannot be inferred from Arthur's previous adventure logic.

Zhao Xu and the three of them had no danger during the whole landing process, and they kept arriving at the target points marked on the map.

But after arriving at a secret alley, Zhao Xu found a demon body that had just died lying on the ground.

"It's a coward." Zhao Xu judged.

"I'm afraid the battle here just happened not long ago. Is it a chasing battle?" Yun'er analyzed.

The place where the three of them are currently standing is quite narrow. There are huge strange stone statues on the front and back sides, and there is only a path wide enough for one person to pass through in the middle, and it is difficult for larger demons to squeeze in.

Only the small coward in front of him was able to pass through calmly.

"This coward escaped here with a serious injury, but it seems that it still hasn't survived." Antinoya glanced at it and analyzed the whole process.

Zhao Xu couldn't help but look behind Qiemo, he could faintly see his footprints from a long distance, and immediately understood the reason for Antinoya's judgment.

He also explained to Yun'er, "The demon is the lowest demon in the abyss, and can only survive the battle by relying on its own damage reduction ability to evolve to a higher-level demon."

"The only tactic for this kind of demon with a challenge level of 2 is the sea of ​​people tactic. Generally, unless a powerful demon oppresses it, otherwise the battle will be at a disadvantage, and these cowardly demons will disperse."

Speaking of which, Zhao Xu also showed a strange expression, "It is this instinct that makes this kind of demon named Coward, but there is one thing, Coward is more afraid of high-level demons than death itself."

But Coward is talking about chickens, at least he can cast Fear and Smelly Cloud once a day, not to mention Coward can also summon Coward.

If it is really placed on the main material plane, relying on these three tricks is enough to pose a threat to ordinary villages, which is why the demons can cause huge losses.

After listening to Zhao Xu's explanation, Yun'er also understood, "So, this coward escaped here, which means it's probably still fighting, and we're here to avoid the edge?"

"Wait for now." Zhao Xu said, "The wound on the coward doesn't look like a weapon, but more like a monster's scratch, so it doesn't matter."

Zhao Xu was not afraid of cowards, even if there were ten thousand more, they would be nothing more than scorched earth under the spell.

But the key point is that any rash battle in the abyss may attract more attention. It is very likely that the situation will be out of control at once, and it will attract the attention of certain demons with deep backgrounds on the spot, which will trigger the arrival of the demon lord behind them .

"Zhong Xia, what is the source of that demon?"

At this moment, Yun'er squatted down to observe the wound Zhao Xu mentioned, and suddenly asked this question.

Zhao Xu turned to Antinoya at the side.

This question sounds simple, but he is not qualified to answer it.

This is like asking what is the origin of human beings, but the earth only reached a preliminary consensus after the East African origin theory and various evolution theories were perfected.

And demons have a history far longer than that of humans, and even contemporary gods cannot trace back to the beginning of the birth of demons.

Talking about the source 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 Book of Darkness, demons are an extension of chaos. It is also when gods, devils, and other forces ascend to other planes to build their own domains, or when they occupy this chaotic land, The evil left in the earth."

"It's the demons that originated from chaos, so there are countless types of demons?" Zhao Xu instinctively responded.

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 he could only identify a few commonalities."

At this moment, Zhao Xu suddenly felt a pleasant rumble in his ears, as if a tiny feather was picking at his ears and scraping gently.

After he shuddered, he said in surprise: "If the devil originated from chaos, shouldn't it have such a vague commonality? This is essentially a manifestation of order, right?"

Zhao Xu's telepathic message, like Huang Zhong Dalu, shook the minds of the other two.

The sophistry that seems to be an endless loop directly points out the contradictions in the entire logic.

Anyone can have something in common, but the abyss represented by Chaos and the demons that are typical representatives of the Chaos faction do not have the qualifications for such commonality.

The types of other creatures are poor, and they can't see any commonalities, but the types of abyssal demons are strange, but they really have a few commonalities!

As if agreed.

Antinoya's breath was also suffocated on the spot, and he didn't expect Zhao Xu to pay so much attention to this.

After looking at Zhao Xu strangely, he explained, "So we can only draw one conclusion from this."

"The bottomless abyss under the feet is longing 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 of its birth."

"So the abyss gives the demons the most suitable commonality for spreading chaos and evil, and they are a kind of replica."

"This is the essence of demons, you just know it, don't talk about it."
