Chapter 878: Angel among demons
What Ren said was sending people to the abyss to explore the way, but he was actually himself. A few days ago, Raistlin had entered the abyss.
It is not easy to get from the main material realm to the abyss. One is that it is far away, and the other is that the abyss is too big. It is a huge world composed of countless planes, which is very difficult to locate.
What people usually call the depth of the abyss can roughly be understood as distance.
The higher the number of layers, the further away from the main material world. The first layer of the abyss plain is the closest to the main material world. The distance between adjacent layers is also very close, but there is not necessarily a connecting channel, just like the isolation between planes and planes, most of the abyssal planes are closed, it is difficult to enter, and must have a strong transmission ability Or unique methods to get in.
For creatures other than demons, the abyss is the most dangerous place in the world.
However, there are still many people who entered the abyss for various purposes and returned safely, bringing back information about the abyss, including some space-time coordinates and plane channels to the abyss level.
Hundreds of space-time coordinates are stored in the Wezeland Library, scattered on different levels of the abyss.
In addition, there are several natural plane channels, which are relatively safe to use.
However, none of these space-time coordinates and passages lead to the 404th floor, sighing the wilderness, and there is very little information about this floor.
Raistlin chose the neighboring plane as a springboard.
The Sigh Wilderness is level 404, and there are three well-known planes closest to it, namely the 399th "Worm Country", the 422nd "Yenogu Realm" and the 435th "Misty Mountain".
There are abyss lords on the first two floors, and they are not ordinary abyss lords, they are all evil gods!
Especially the owner of the 422nd floor, "Yenogu", the **** of the jackals. He is a well-known evil god. Although his divine power is not outstanding among many evil gods, it can only be regarded as medium, but he is worshiped by all the jackals in the world. The lord also controls a large number of ghoul slaves and an army of demons, and rules all the territories of this plane.
The 399th-level worm kingdom is not easy to provoke. Erdrian the "creeper" is the **** of all reptiles.
His followers also include dwarfs, goblins, rat people, snake people, etc. They have weaker powers, but he has built this abyss into his own kingdom of gods. Outsiders enter into it and fall into his trap, extremely Danger.
Renn hadn't swelled to the point of confronting the gods.
So I chose the 435th Misty Mountains.
The area of ??this layer is larger than the Worm Realm and the Ancient Yeno Realm, and it is several times larger, almost equivalent to the size of the Empire.
But it does not have an abyss lord.
The power of the Misty Mountains is very complicated. Over the past tens of thousands of years, more than fifty demon lords have led their legions to conquer the entire plane and promote them to the abyss lords, but none of them have succeeded. The reason is that the Misty Mountains are too big, there are too many demons, hundreds of millions, almost all types of demons can be found in this layer, and the level environment is very complicated, and it is impossible to conquer the entire plane without absolute strength.
A few years ago in Northriel, the demon lord "Shaheles" who almost came out of the gate of the abyss was one of the lord of the Misty Mountains.
In fact, the 435th Misty Mountains is the first choice for many fallen from the material realm.
There are also many extraordinary people taking risks on this level.
Therefore, the geographic environment, demonic legions, and power distribution of the Misty Mountains are much more detailed than other planes, so after entering, you don't know anything in the dark.
Five of the space-time coordinates collected in the Wezeland Library point to the Misty Mountains.
Although it was a little farther away from the Sighing Wilderness, Raistlin chose to enter it, set up a rune array in a fel wasteland in the New World, and successfully teleported to the Misty Mountains.
Through Raistlin's eyes, Ren saw the situation in this abyss.
Black is the main color of this world. The vast majority of the entire plane is a continuous huge mountain range. It is boundless. Peaks that break through the sky stand on the ground, shrouded in a gray mist that does not know how wide. Will disperse and see the sun in the sky.
There are countless demons between Grey Mist and Black Mountain, fighting each other all the time.
Raistlin did not explore much.
After entering the Misty Mountains, he inspired the rainbow cloak to remain invisible throughout the entire process. With the strength of the archmage, it is not easy to be seen through when encountering the demon lord, and he can easily get out if he fails to beat it.
Fortunately, Raistlin did not encounter the demon lord. After several days of teleportation, he found a plane passage leading to the 421st floor of the "White Kingdom" in the Misty Mountains.
This layer is adjacent to the 422th floor of Yeno Ancient Realm, and there is also an abyss lord, the king of ghouls "Dorison". It was an elven mage before his death, and later transformed into a lich and broke into the abyss, becoming the master of this level, but was defeated by Yenogu many years ago, swearing allegiance to the **** of gnolls.
Raistlin avoided the King of Ghouls in the "White Kingdom" and spent ten days finding the way to the 403rd "Rainless Wasteland".
This abyssal plane is extremely barren and its area is small, and even no demon lord is interested in it.
There are not many demons in the Rainless Wasteland.
Raistlin completed this level in only half a day. There is no natural plane passage between the Rainless Wilderness and the Sigh Wilderness, but the two planes are adjacent. He chose a node with a weaker space, took out the memory crystal he got from Hastaf, activated the time and space coordinates, and used the nine-ring spell on the alien passage.
Soon, a wide passage opened on the wasteland.
Raistlin confirmed his safety and walked in.
Coming out of the alien passage, there is an endless wilderness with sparse weeds and shrubs. The sky is covered with thick gray and dark lead clouds. Only a small amount of sunlight penetrates through the dark clouds.
The dry air is full of endless evil energy, corroding the soul every moment.
Even a legendary and extraordinary person, if there is not enough spiritual protection to stay in the abyss for too long, it will eventually be difficult to escape the fate of becoming a fallen person.
However, Raistlin, who has the will to truth, is used to it.
"Ugh.."
A low sigh sounded from nowhere, spreading to every corner of the plane.
Raistlin's heart was shocked.
This voice...
In the abyss and wasteland of the New World, you can hear a gust of babble in the wind, which makes people mentally irritable, and weak-willed people will be mad by babble in less than three days. Some people say that this babbling comes from the four gods of the ancient abyss, while others say it is the self-consciousness of the bottomless abyss.
This kind of crazy chatter can be heard in any place where the abyss expands and the fel contaminates.
Naturally everywhere in the abyss.
However, this sigh is obviously different from the babble of the abyss, it is clearer, like someone whispering in the ear, although there is only one syllable, but the emotion contained in it can be heard, as if it came from hundreds of millions of years ago, full of A touch of helplessness, vicissitudes and sadness.
Raistlin stopped to listen and waited patiently for ten minutes.
"Ugh.."
Another sigh sounded in my ears.
This time, Raistlin clearly captured the emotion in the sound, and the sound of all things was turned to the limit, and the sound source was finally determined.
underground!
The sound came from deep underground and then spread into the air. The magical thing is that it spreads very fast, far exceeding the normal speed of sound, at least a hundred times faster. If it weren't for the sound of all things intensified when Ren was promoted to the Holy Soul Wizard, it would be difficult to find the source of the sound.
Leylins looked down at the barren and dry ground, hesitating in his heart.
"Is this the source of the name Sigh Wilderness?"
He stayed there for a while, using his mobile phone to accurately time the clock, and he could hear a sigh every 13 minutes or so. He was very punctual, with an error of no more than half a second.
"Who is sighing?"
Raistlin couldn't help being curious. There was no hostility in this sigh, and it didn't pollute the mind like the whispers of the abyss. It seemed like a dying person uttered the last sigh.
If the truth of the mysterious sigh can be revealed, there may be no small gains.
However, now is not the time to study.
In the information provided by Herstaf, it only said that there was an open-pit source crystal mine in the wilderness, but only the approximate location was recorded, and it needs to be confirmed in person. Sigh, the area of ??the wilderness is equivalent to three to four provinces in the empire. This is a relatively small plane in the abyss, but it is not easy to find a mine in it.
Raistlin went into invisibility and flew into the sky.
Looking down on the earth from a high altitude, the endless wilderness comes into view, and the horizon is the same no matter which direction you see.
He can only find the blurry outline of the sun through the thick dark clouds and use it as a reference to identify the direction.
call!
Raistlin teleportation disappeared.
After several teleportations, he came to the northern part of the Sigh Wilderness, where there is a black forest with no end in sight. There are not many branches and leaves on the tall and twisted trees, and countless thorns are entwined with the dim sky, like a scene. Nightmare.
But this is the richest area in the sigh wilderness.
Raistlin found a large number of signs of living creatures in the black forest, and bats shuttled in the shadows. They are vampires!
He followed a group of vampires into the Black Forest and soon saw a dark and ancient castle.
The All-Seeing Eye penetrated in. There are a large number of vampires in the castle. They have built blood pools to store the original monsters at the bottom of the abyss as a source of food. They eat the meat of the original monsters and drink the blood of the original monsters, for blood food and status. Fight endlessly between them, using the most cruel means to deal with other vampires.
The owner of this castle is a vampire earl, equivalent to a legendary mid-level extraordinary.
Vampires are demons transformed from humans. They are unintentionally created by the Lord of Chaos. Their potential is far less than those carefully created powerful demons. Their birth time is only a few thousand years. They are not high in the abyss. They can only be like Sigh for survival in such a remote plane as the wilderness.
But they also have a strict system. Only when they are promoted to the great devil, that is, the realm of legend, can they obtain the title of baron, control a territory, and build their own castle.
Above the baron is the earl, and above the duke.
Higher than the duke are the vampire princes. They are the demon lords, but they are extremely rare. It is said that only thirteen vampire princes have been born in the whole world.
Raistlin sneaked into the vampire castle.
Vampires have retained the living habits of human beings. The halls, towers and study rooms are built in the gloomy castle. They are very clean. If the air is not filled with evil and dirty air, at first glance, it is almost indistinguishable from a human castle. .
Raistlin easily avoided the vampire's induction, quietly passed through the warning circle arranged with blood runes, and entered the castle's study.
The earl vampire is not here.
He turned on the mutant mobile phone and directly copied the few hundreds of books in the library to the mobile phone library. Almost all of these books were written in Abyssal Language, which could not trouble him, and he soon found what he wanted, a map sighing the wilderness.
Although the map is rough, it is enough.
Based on the information provided by Herstaff, Raistlin quickly narrowed the area where the Origin Crystal Mine was located. It was just outside the Black Forest—called "Blackthorn Forest" by vampires"—about six hundred miles westward, approaching the Sighing Wilderness. The west.
After getting the map, Raistlin immediately left the castle and hurried towards the source crystal mine.
After two teleports, he approached the target area.
Hestaf described that the source crystal mine is in this wilderness. Although it has shrunk a lot, this area is also tens of thousands of square miles. It takes time to find a mine in it.
"Let's find it."
Raistlin searched high in the sky. U U Reading
This search lasted two days, and about one-third of the place had been ruled out. Raistlin, who was flying stealth in the sky, suddenly noticed some movement.
"Ok?"
He looked forward, and a group of vampire-changing bats were flying fast. Among them, there were many vampire nobles, and there were a lot of them, heading in the same direction.
After thinking about it, Raistlin followed.
Soon, he saw more vampires, and also discovered the vampire duke, who took a large number of vampires to patrol this area, seeming to be looking for some target.
"what's the situation?"
Raistlin frowned. The area that the vampires searched was within the range of the source crystal mine. These demons would not have noticed anything, right? For countless years, the demons have not known anything about Origin Crystal Mines, and have never mined them. Wouldn't it happen that they had ideas as soon as they came.
Thinking of this, Raistlin quietly approached a group of vampires.
Then I heard a few words.
"Succubus.."
This group of vampires are looking for a succubus. It seems to have escaped from the court of the succubus queen. It has been for many years. Not long ago, they broke into the wilderness of sigh. She was injured after fighting with a vampire duke and escaped. , Hiding near here.
Raistlin shook his head, as long as it had nothing to do with Origin Crystal Mine.
He has no interest in succubus.
So he avoided the group of vampires, but after half a day, Raistlin used his all-seeing eye to see through the ground looking for the mine, and saw a succubus sleeping in a cave.
With just a glance, he was amazed.
This is too beautiful!
At the same time, the eyes of the soul saw more information, which made Ren, who was far away in the empire, also startled. He couldn't help but whispered in surprise: "Devil? Angel? He is still a holy swordsman!"
