Chapter 79 The devil's way of survival!
In the gray fog.
A ferocious dragon flew across the sky. It had a pair of broken blood-red wings, with a wingspan of more than 30 meters, and was larger than other subspecies of dragons. It was the Dragon King - Bloodfang. It was a monster with a name and title in Abyss City. It was very powerful. Although it was not a Destiny Legend, it was a legendary monster. Its neck was relatively slender, and it looked very much like the Ringwraith mount in the Lord of the Rings. However, in terms of strength, it was estimated to be much stronger, because Xiao En had seen it prey on a huge nine-headed snake lizard with his own eyes.
Surviving in a weird country, a mutant bug on the roadside is at monster level and can easily bite an adult male to death.
At this moment, Xiao En was sitting on the back of the Dragon King - Bloodfang. Opposite him was Amon who was leisurely looking at the scenery. They had flown for thousands of kilometers, and Xiao En didn't know where he was now.
Amon stood up and pointed to the huge swamp in the distance and said, "That is the territory of the old swamp master, Mondor."
"One of the Old Ones who was promoted in the last thousand years."
"Because of his promotion, the poisonous miasma in the Wanli Swamp has slowly spread to the entire planet. Large areas of the plains have been twisted into poisonous swamps. Now the air in the weird country is not suitable for ordinary people to survive. Although the toxicity does not threaten extraordinary people, it can cause ordinary people to have hallucinations and slowly become crazy." (Extraordinary people can pass the physical immunity judgment.)
"He is the first Old One we have to kill!"
"Abyss City has been preparing for nearly twenty years to defeat Him."
"However, His true body is not in the real world, but somewhere in the inner plane. We must wait patiently for His next awakening."
Eamon is a very patient teacher.
Although Sean knew that he was the murderer behind the deaths of many people, he was still attracted by Amon's personality charm when he came into contact with him. Even if Sean did not agree with his crazy and evil ideas, some of Amon's own views were easy to convince people. This inner personality charm made him have many followers in Abyss City.
Xiao En looked up at the vast swamp that stretched to the horizon and said in a deep voice, "Are you saying that His existence has changed the composition of the air on the entire planet?"
"Toxic hallucinogenic gases will slowly kill ordinary people?"
Eamon nodded calmly: "You can say that."
"However, the residents of Abyss City all have some demonic blood, and the infernal creatures from the lower planes are basically immune to common poisons."
"But if we don't kill him, the poisonous miasma that permeates the entire planet will only get worse."
Although Aamon is paranoid and crazy, he really wants to kill the Old One.
This was the third Old One that He had told Sean about. He knew everything about the Old Ones on this continent, and was even aware of the changes they had brought to the world. The distortion of the laws had directly turned the Weird Kingdom into a land unsuitable for mortals to survive.
Amon retracted his gaze, glanced at Sean behind him, and said calmly: "I have already signed you up for the Abyss Arena."
"With your current strength, you will almost certainly die if you enter the arena!"
"You only have three months to improve yourself."
"I don't have that much time to train you slowly, so I can only arrange the most brutal trial for you."
"This is the [Devil's Way of Survival] that I want to teach you."
Sean already knew this, because before leaving Abyss City, Amon took him to the huge Purgatory Arena filled with blood and filth. It looked a bit like the Colosseum in ancient Rome, but was even more cruel and ruthless than there.
The entire Abyss City is a breeding ground for chaos and evil. This city is all about strength, and the strong own everything in Abyss City!
It even retained slavery.
Eamon's kindness and malice towards Sean are equally obvious. He only cares about Sean's strength. If he has no strength, then Sean has no value in his eyes.
Xiao En took a deep breath and said, "Only three months?"
The opponents in the Abyss Arena are basically high-level transcendents, or the horrible evil creatures from the grotesque kingdom. Sometimes you will encounter legendary enemies. With Xiao En's current strength, he will definitely die if he faces them.
"Yes." Amon showed a cruel smile and said, "And you can't be promoted in a short time, if you don't want to become a lich in the future. You'd better stay at your current level and wait for me to find you the extraordinary relic for the next promotion."
"In your current situation, there is only one way to break free from the law of death. That is to wait for me to find the extraordinary origin of the spiritual path, and then use the heart of the abyss to forge a new heart, and use this as an opportunity to revive you once again."
"Only by ascending to the Legend of Destiny through both arcane and spiritual means can you completely escape the transformation of the Book of the Dead."
"Otherwise, the mother cyst can explode at any time, and your life will always be in the hands of those old bones."
Xiao En couldn't help but reveal a bitter smile. No matter how much Amon talked, it couldn't change the fact. He said calmly: "You mean, I can't hold the promotion ceremony in my next trial?"
"You can only survive this trial with the rank of a three-ring wizard?"
Amon smiled and said, "Three rings are enough for the current trial."
"They've almost ruined you. I can only save you by taking drastic measures."
"If you don't even believe in your own potential, then you are completely hopeless! If you die accidentally, I can only extract your soul and make a legendary skeleton golem."
Sean had no doubt that Eamon would do what he said because he didn't care about life at all.
Aamon raised his finger gently, and a black ring floated in front of Sean. It emitted an obscure light, and countless complicated runes were engraved on the surface.
Xiao En looked up in confusion and asked, "What is this?"
Amon said calmly: "The Ring of the Witch King. It is part of a certain artifact. At present, it can only be regarded as a legendary object."
"Your belongings are all in there."
"And you seem to like using firearms, so there's a small arsenal in there. I stole it from Dorne."
what?
Sean stretched out his hand in surprise to take the black ring. The moment he touched it, he became extremely excited and restless. Then the mysterious knowledge touched it carefully, and an alien space about the size of a room appeared in Sean's mind.
Space ring?
wrong!
There are additional abilities, but it seems that I cannot activate them for the time being.
It is still sealed.
The mysterious knowledge could not break the rune imprint on it, so Xiao En was unable to use the power it could bestow.
The room-sized dimensional space contained food, clothes, Sean's daily necessities, and even a strange cane left to him by Ms. Hecate, of unknown use. Almost everything in his apartment had been moved in.
In the corner of the dimensional space is a small arsenal, where basically all kinds of conventional firearms can be found, and ammunition fills the space in the corner.
This?
Sean looked up in surprise.
Amon looked at Xiao En's shocked expression and couldn't help laughing. He said playfully, "I'm not one of those stubborn old men who would resort to those methods of suppressing the balance."
"I'm Eamon!"
"For demons, anything that can improve their strength is valuable."
"It's just a little risk, it's insignificant!"
This legendary item must have a certain negative impact on Xiao En. After all, his strength is still too weak, and he may be subject to additional mental pollution. But Amon doesn't care. For him, there is no taboo on using legendary items across levels. As long as any sealed item can be used and can improve his strength, a little bit of pollution is nothing.
As long as you are not crazy, you are not polluted at all! There is no such thing as polluters in Abyss City. Only when you are completely out of control will you be on the kill list of the Demon Guards. But as long as you are not out of control, even if you have been twisted into a half-human, half-monster, you can still go out on the street normally. The Demon Guards will not stop you when they see you.
This is the law of survival in Abyss City!
Aamon looked at Sean in front of him, raised his hand and patted the back of the Dragon King - Bloodfang. Then there was a violent vibration, and Sean fell from a height of thousands of meters.
The demigod of the demonic path chuckled and signaled the Dragon King to return to the Abyss City. He looked at Xiao En falling from the sky and said calmly, "I will arrange the next trial for you in three days."
"Don't die so soon!"
The wind howls!
Sean was thrown down by Eamon from a height of thousands of meters.
In the gray mist, Sean passed through a dark cloud. He was now falling nearly a thousand meters. With his current strength, he could use the flying technique to land safely, but considering that Amon had thrown himself into the wilderness of the weird kingdom, any trace of his original magic power was extremely precious.
So Xiao En finally decided to look at the terrain below to see if he could save the consumption of 1 level of spell and directly use the 2nd level dimensional jump to land safely.
The target is more eye-catching when flying in the sky.
I don’t know if it was because desperate situations forced out people’s potential, but while falling from a height of thousands of meters, there wasn’t even a trace of panic in Xiao En’s mind. On the contrary, while falling at a high speed, he was still thinking about his next move and even observing the nearby terrain.
Eamon is more ruthless than anyone else. He doesn't care about other people's lives at all. Now that Sean has fallen into his hands, he can only find a way to save himself.
If he said it was a cruel trial, then it was definitely a cruel trial. Even if a demon came, he would die if he was not careful!
"Hold!"
"He threw me into the territory of the Old Clan!" After Xiao En saw the situation below clearly, he felt his head buzzing.
The Weird Kingdom also has wilderness in the middle area, but many areas are occupied by the Old Ones. These places have very obvious characteristics, such as poisonous fog, swamps, sea of fire, quicksand, etc. The Old Ones' authority changed the laws of the world and made the environment of some areas even more cruel and harsh than the Abyss.
Now the place where Aamon threw Sean down is obviously the activity area of the old family, because the poisonous swamp is right under his feet, the shadowy trees are all distorted, and the strange life forms activated by the laws are scattered all over the filthy land under his feet.
It's still daytime. If it were night, the monsters from the spirit world would come out.
This is how the title of Night Watch came about.
——Dimension jump!
Sean was lucky in the place where he landed, and did not fall directly near the poisonous swamp. After seeing that there was a mudflat under his feet, he finally decided to save one ring of spell consumption, and with a dimensional jump, he landed on the edge of the mudflat that was covered with filth and looked like asphalt.
"Isn't this forcing me to survive in the wilderness?"
Xiao En pricked up his ears and listened around him. He heard a faint rustling sound. Needless to say, it must be a monster nearby. He must have attracted the attention of some enemies when he landed.
There were ripples in the swamp in the distance, as if some creature was moving in the swamp, and the ripples were heading towards him.
The land was shrouded in the stench of decay, the water surface was filled with the color of asphalt, and when the water rippled, oil-like stains could be seen. The pollution here was already very serious, and it looked like modern industrial factories dumped countless industrial wastes here to ferment, and then the fermented toxic gases spread throughout the swamp, and finally the depths of the swamp were all black, just like a leaking oil field.
This is a land twisted by the swamp master - Mondor. The whole area is polluted by corruption. The asphalt-like stains have spread to half of the continent, part of it on land and part of it in the ocean. A large amount of deformed algae has spread to the depths of the sea. These toxic algae are slowly changing the atmospheric environment of the entire planet.
The position that Sean is in now is relatively good. If he were in the depths of the swamp, there would be elemental deformers that gathered polluted energy. Their bodies would be quite large, and the smallest one would be more than ten meters tall.
"Find a safe place first!"
As a wizard, Sean used less magic power and was thrown directly into such a place, which was simply the start of hell.
He took out weapons from the Ring of the Witch King. Guns were not very useful in such an environment, because once he fired a shot, he didn't know how many monsters would be attracted nearby.
Fortunately, this is the edge of the swamp. Sean didn't dare to approach the twisted jungle and could only walk towards the open plain. The rustling sounds behind him became clearer and clearer, but when he looked back, he could see nothing.
"We're just ahead of the mudflats." Xiao En had a hard time walking here, and each step he took would sink nearly ten centimeters into the mud.
call out!
Just as Sean was about to walk out of the mudflat, there was suddenly a sound of breaking air, and a poisonous arrow pierced his chest directly. A hunchbacked monster that looked like a humanoid lizard emerged in the swamp, its dark yellow eyes full of madness and bloodthirstiness. First, one arrow pierced Sean's chest, and then the next arrow aimed at Sean's head.
puff.
As soon as Xiao En walked out of the mudflat, he felt a sharp pain in his chest. An arrow pierced through his chest. The next second, his brain trembled and his consciousness began to blur. A sharp arrow shot directly through his skull.
The scene of death begins to flash back!
Xiao En, who had just escaped from the pain of death, had no time to think and directly jumped to the ground with a dimension.
——Invisible!
Sean's figure disappeared from the spot. A strange noise came from the swamp not far away. A strange and hideous humanoid head like a Komodo dragon emerged. Its skin was wrinkled like a toad, and its cloudy dark yellow eyes stared at the front. It crawled out of the swamp little by little.
This monster has a crocodile-like tail, poisonous pustules on its body, a humanoid silhouette with limbs, but its twisted and deformed body looks like a combination of many amphibians.
It stuck out its scarlet tongue as if trying to catch a scent, and moved closer and closer.
The prey is still nearby and it will not give up easily.
boom!
Da da da!
A dull gunshot rang out, and Xiao En's figure suddenly appeared beside the grass on the mudflat. He looked at the monster in front of him, emptied the magazine without hesitation, and directly shot the opponent's hideous head into a pool of rotten meat.
The death flashback was triggered as soon as he landed. Xiao En was feeling very depressed. It was the first time he felt death was so close.
"How long is the cooldown period for Death Rewind?"
Sean didn't believe that Aamon would go to so much trouble to capture him, and then send him to this hellhole to die. He kept talking about his potential, so besides his powerful inspiration, his potential was only the ability to rewind death.
If the potential he has not yet realized is really Death Rewind, then the cooldown time of this ability should be very short.
Because in the real world, Xiao En simply doesn't have so many opportunities to trigger death replay. Only in this kind of dangerous place will he be on the verge of life and death at any time.
If his unactivated potential wasn't death regression, there would be no way he could survive here.
Xiao En's figure flew forward.
He quickly took the shortbow and poison arrows from the body of the lizardman monster, then glanced at the other's body and took away some strange trophies. Finally, he moved in confusion, and after seeing the flowing extraordinary essence, he directly dug out the enemy's turbid eyeballs.
This is an extraordinary relic of the Ranger Path!
——"Knowledge discovered the essence of the spell 'super vision'."
The knowledge in Xiao En's brain was extremely excited and active. He didn't even need to use any identification skills. He directly relied on his recognition ability to obtain information about the dropped extraordinary relics.
A second-level spell that allows Sean to have the same visual ability as a ranger and gain darkvision.
This place is really dangerous, but the explosion rate is also really high.
At this moment, Sean began to understand why Eamon had thrown himself here. Damn, there was no telling how many monsters there were to kill in this damn place.
Of course, the premise is that he can survive.
Eamon is forcing Sean to dance on the edge of death. If he can survive, his strength will improve rapidly.
Demons only care about power.
Strength is everything!
