Chapter 465: The Devil's Cave
The Demon Cave is essentially a lava space located underground in a courtyard of the Principality of Twaka. Under the weathered hilly terrain of the courtyard, there live many demons with bad personalities.
These demons will come to the surface through underground tunnels to catch prey. No matter whether it is human or monster, once they are caught, they will be dragged into the underground demon cave with surging magma and imprisoned to death.
Mu Hua came to this courtyard through the portal opened by the key. There is no monster wilderness as imagined, nor is it a human city with strict defense. It is a garrison of thousands of people, but it is a team of the Fuhuo Brigade stationed here to hunt demons.
The aroma of stewed meat is mixed with the smell of gun oil. The combatants in the garrison are mainly gunmen and shooters. Because Lao Liu accompanied Mu Hua to arrive from the portal, Mu Hua initially felt some itchy sights on his temples, but no one came forward to question him.
"Mu, are you sure you don't need to arrange some people to go with you?"
"The hell demons are not friendly to the necromancers. They can restrain most spellcasters." Nodding to some people who greeted him from afar, Lao Liu asked Mu Hua respectfully to confirm that Mu Hua was going to the demon cave.
Perhaps because he was a necromancer, Lao Liu had more respect for Mu Hua than ordinary people. After Mu Hua repeatedly requested, he stopped calling Mu Hua with titles such as His Majesty.
This situation is also quite common in the necromancer mutual aid group, especially after Mu Hua released some ghosts for the necromancers to recruit, some necromancers have submitted immigration applications to Caines City.
However, those applications were temporarily intercepted by Ingrid, and Mu Hua did not object to this. He just comforted those necromancers in the group and said that arrangements would be made after Caines City stabilized.
There is no way. Although these necromancers just want to find a place where they can live freely, some of their cognitions are very rigid.
Including Lao Liu in front of him, they can abide by the laws and regulations of the human world, but in many cases they really don't regard ghosts as "people".
Mu Hua can send some ghosts to fool them, but he doesn't dare to let them mess around in his territory, at least he can't let them mess around with these ghosts who retain the status of imperial citizens.
If you treat these necromancers in the mutual aid association lightly, there will be problems. If you manage them too much, don't help each other. Maybe they will hurt each other, so before the city of Caines becomes powerful, it is better to keep some distance for the time being.
At least before Mu Hua believes that he can deserve the title of "Your Majesty", it is still necessary to keep a certain distance.
"Hehe, I am ready to flash and run away at any time, and I am also ready to launch the doom of death when it is appropriate. Forget about going together." Mu Hua smiled and shook his head at Lao Liu's kindness.
Flashing away is secondary. The most important thing is that the doom of death is a bit scary. Regardless of whether what Mu Hua said is true or not, Lao Liu twitched his eyes and even asked someone to find a life identification instrument for Mu Hua to prevent him from spreading death near his team.
Mu Hua said he wanted to get the Hell Demon Chains, and Lao Liu suggested that he buy them directly.
However, not to mention that Mu Hua needed a lot of Hell Demon Chains, he also wanted to see the effect of those chains when the Hell Demon was alive, and by the way, try what the Hell Demon could melt. After all, he didn't come here just for a few chains.
He told Mu Hua to be careful, and Lao Liu didn't plan to go with Mu Hua. He didn't like the Hell Demon. It is said that the environment in the Hell Demon Cave is very restrictive for the performance of the necromancer.
It's better to say that it's a crypt than a demon cave. Under the guidance of Lao Liu, Mu Hua came to a blocked underground entrance.
The stairs that can accommodate three or five people extend downward, as if they are going straight to the center of the earth. Mu Hua floated down the stairs. After more than ten minutes of the winding cave, he still couldn't see the end of the stairs.
As Mu Hua went deeper, the temperature around him began to rise gradually. After falling for more than ten minutes, when Mu Hua walked out of a crack in the stone wall, the darkness was gone. The empty cave in front of him was full of orange-red lava tones.
It is empty but narrow. The landform here has very contradictory characteristics. It is boundless and the space height is very limited.
There are floating islands inside the cave that seem to be made of rough rocks. Under the floating islands, a large area of activated magma forms a flame swamp like a sea of fire.
The cave has a low ceiling, and a large number of stalagmites and stalactites with mineral deposits add a sense of mystery to the cave.
Looking at the vastness, there is no end. Some narrow stone bridges cross the sea of magma, connecting pieces of land that seem to float on the sea of fire.
The low cave ceiling here basically makes it difficult for large creatures to live here. Even if Mu Hua releases the magic dragon, they will find it difficult to move freely in such a low space.
Hell, I guess many people's first impression of this place is like seeing hell.
Especially when Mu Hua appeared here, the screams of dying ghosts kept coming out of the magma ocean.
There are still living things in this sea of fire, and those living things are dying frequently.
Because the jealous ghosts appeared here, those dead creatures gave birth to ghosts, and those ghosts were born to face the swamp-like fiery magma, so the ghosts will die again as soon as they are born.
The vocal music of hell played a chapter with the arrival of Mu Hua.
The originally hot and depressing environment evolved into gloomy because of Mu Hua's arrival. Under the lava, the screams of dying ghosts broke the heavy tranquility here.
Noisy and weird, along the narrow passage on the stone wall, Mu Hua came to a stone bridge. Although he had not seen the hell demon yet, Mu Hua didn't like it here very much.
The stone bridge connects a floating island hundreds of meters away. There are countless such structures in the distance, which are intertwined and interwoven, making this place look like a maze and a honeycomb.
It looks like a naturally formed bridge. Mu Hua squatted down, stretched out his hand and pinched the bridge surface. The broken stones broke off, and Mu Hua's eyelids twitched.
This is probably a naturally formed stone road, right? They are not solid. It seems that if you want to hunt demons here, flying abilities are a must.
Because there is a sea of magma under these stone roads, if this place collapses, it is inevitable that you will be "cold". The sea of magma is full of sticky magma. Mu Hua has found another way to kill himself, such as sinking him into the magma.
He is not afraid of the high temperature of the flames here. He can even breathe flames. However, breathing fire elements and filling the trachea with magma are obviously not the same thing. He still cannot get rid of the need to breathe.
No, the flame windbreaker may allow him to have breathing space in the magma. As long as he doesn't sink too deep, he can escape by flashing. Well, it seems that it is not that easy to kill him.
However, Mu Hua was not sure what was under the lava. He stepped onto the stone bridge, and with the blessing of floating wind, Mu Hua quickly rushed to the floating island in front.
These stone bridges made him feel very insecure. He wanted to turn over the brand of the flame windbreaker, which was not practical and had been hidden for a long time.
"Haha~~, new here? Don't be afraid, there are iron chains in this stone bridge, so it won't collapse. Even if it collapses, you can still fly on the lava. The legend of the mutant Kraken is scary, haha."
Mu Hua ran across the stone bridge and saw a human settlement with many tents. Several adventurers who happened to see Mu Hua rushing over laughed and joked.
The floating island in front of him was not big, less than one square kilometer, which was equivalent to a relatively flat hill.
Several flags of different styles were erected in places where several tents were concentrated. It seemed that the entire floating island should be an area for adventurers to rest.
"Zach, shut up." A middle-aged man wearing a hunting suit made of salamander leather stopped the teasing of several people and walked towards Mu Hua quickly.
He was a member of the Fire Brigade. He had received a notice earlier that a ghost had come down.
Although Mu Hua was wearing a cloak, the screams of ghosts in the magma seemed to be announcing Mu Hua's identity.
"Mr. Mu Hua?" The middle-aged man approached and asked Mu Hua tentatively.
"Yes." Mu Hua nodded.
"Well, sir, this is the map that the captain asked me to prepare for you. If you don't want to be disturbed, there are basically no adventurers after the floating island with records in the west."
The middle-aged man handed over a micro projector that included maps of the locations of various floating islands and stone bridges, and said carefully to Mu Hua.
"Yes, thank you." After taking the map projector, facing the middle-aged man's expectant eyes like sending a plague god, Mu Hua thanked him and left.
Well, the middle-aged man is not afraid of the jealous ghosts. If they do not take the initiative to attack, the jealous ghosts will be more inclined to defend and counterattack.
Compared with the ghosts of color domain, greed, gluttony, etc., the jealous ghosts who have a good relationship with their own family are not scary.
But Mu Hua may have a being that can throw death doom on him, which is more scary.
It is strictly emphasized that you should try to keep a distance of more than one kilometer from Mu Hua, so that Mu Hua will not go crazy and open his big power, and don't let your team members be swept by death doom.
Looking at Mu Hua's back leaving to the west, the middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief. Several adventurers who were scolded by him before came up to ask, and the news of the arrival of the ghosts was spread all over the camp in a moment.
Some people sighed with curiosity, some people did not like to gossip, and several different adventure teams in the camp were very tacit at this moment, and everyone avoided the direction where Mu Hua left.
Not to mention the death doom, many adventurers still don't want to become ghosts after death.
Ghosts and gods, those guys are really not lovable. (End of this chapter)
