Starting from Zero

"Ling, do you know what this is?"

Ling shook the head and said: "We don’t have this thing, but it looks like this Some kind of low-level hell creature."

Xiaochun also nodded and said: "This thing must be a semi-Spirit Physique creature, otherwise it would not be so afraid of holy light. By the way, these things are also Olympus. About Divine Race, Victoria might know what it is."

I thought it was right, so I asked Victoria Summon. The thing on the ground has been shattered into ashes, but Victoria immediately nodded and said when he heard our description: "I know this. I have seen this thing before, but I don’t know the specific name. But we don’t need too much Worry, the ability of these things is to pull people into the ground, and then absorb the life energy of the other party. Once the life force is absorbed, they will turn into rocks. Apart from this ability, they have almost no specialties. We just need to be caught It's enough to resist it. Anyway, the power of these things is very average, and the power of combat personnel must be much stronger than it. Even the mage is estimated to be able to fight with him. These things usually attack free NPCs. A little effect. Basically impossible success against combat classes."

"This thing is so weak?"

"Of course." Victoria said: "This is the only way to the underworld. Lu, the people of Hades have to come from here often, if any powerful creatures appear here, they will not be killed soon?"

"That's it." I thought about it. Ye Ying said: "Fly a little higher for a while, don't move against the ground."

Ye Ying nodded expressed that I understand. I looked at the ashes on the ground and then climbed onto Ye Ying, and then retracted Ling. And Xiaochun and the others are on the road again.

Since this place is quite close to the Central Zone of Nether Mountain, we quickly left the surrounding mountains and entered the core area of ​​Nether Mountain. Unlike the situation where there are peaks everywhere in the outer circle, we just entered the core area of ​​Nether Mountain and found that the front of us suddenly opened up. The central area of ​​the entire Nether Mountain is not the highest mountain, but a huge tiankeng.

This huge crater with a diameter of at least ten kilometers is roughly circular, and the edge of the hole is basically a 90-degree downward mountain. Looking down from the edge of the hole, it is simply pitch black. My dark vision can barely see places a dozen kilometers deep, but there is no change at all within the range of sight, except for the unchanging cliffs.

Although this huge tiankeng is quite large in size, the core area of ​​Nether Mountain is not just such a big pit. In fact, there is a ring of plain around this big hole, but because the surrounding mountains penetrate the core area to different degrees, the shape of the outer ring of the plain is not very regular, and the wide area is five or six from the edge of the tiankeng. Kilometers wide, narrow places are even ten-twenty meters wide.

The plain where we entered was relatively narrow. After going out of the valley formed by the peaks on both sides, it was less than one kilometer forward to the edge of the big pit. Standing here, you can see a mountain protruding into the tiankeng opposite the big hole. At the top of the mountain, a huge castle stands majestic and looks exceptionally majestic.

According to the route given by Pandora, the bottomless sinkhole in front of me is the entrance to the underworld, and the castle opposite is the bridgehead from the underworld to the world, equivalent to the first line of defense of the underworld .

Although the night shadow can walk in the void, for safety, I let him obediently and honestly take a big circle along the plain outside the entrance to the underworld to the opposite side of the castle.

On the opposite side, the view was blocked by the mountain where the castle is located. When I went around here, I discovered that the mountain where the castle is located is actually simply not connected to the edge of this huge cave. It is like an independent pillar extending from the bottom of the big pit, and the only passage between the castle on it and the plain on this side is a stone bridge nearly 800 meters long. However, this stone bridge is not completely supported by the bridgeheads on both sides. The whole bridge will have an arch-like existence every 50 meters from the bridgehead, just like the kind of cable slant in the real world. The piers on the pull bridge are the same, the only difference is that the arch is not very tall, and the underside of it is not supported on a solid ground, but completely floating. There will be three layers of blue magic array below these things that look like bridge piers. The top layer is the largest, and the bottom one shrinks in order.

Looking at this long stone bridge, my first thought was that I should build a similar thing for Isinger, not for anything else, just because it looks so handsome. But Isinger is on the seashore, and it doesn't seem to be suitable for building this thing. Even if we dig a deep hole around the city, the sea will automatically fill it up. There is no magic cultivator like this.

After admiring the bridge for a while, I let Ye Ying run up. According to Pandora's statement, there is only one detection spell on the bridge that detects the passing people attribute. If the presence of Dark Element walks up, there will be no reaction, so for me and Ye Ying, this bridge is just an ordinary bridge.

The 800-meter bridge Yeying quickly ran to the opposite side. At this end of the bridge is a stone square of several thousand square meters. On the edge of the square, there are cliffs on three sides. The side facing the bridge is the outer wall of the castle. A huge stone gate over ten meters high.

Slightly unexpected is that what is carved in the center of this stone gate is not the huge skull I imagined, but a gorgeous butterfly. This butterfly occupies almost the entire gate area. Its left and right wings are located above the left and right gates. The wings are lined with gorgeous colored metals, and the middle is decorated with gems of various colors, which looks gorgeous and elegant. With a sense of majesty.

Because Pandora didn't mention the relief on this door before, this is the first time I know this thing. Speaking of which It’s a bit weird to carve a butterfly at the entrance of the underworld. According to my idea, even if you don’t get a skeleton, you have to get a few ugly rare beasts. This butterfly is really the underworld. The image of is not quite right.

Although I think this butterfly is strange, it is after all the door of others. How others are happy to fix it is a matter of others, and it has nothing to do with me. According to the method given by Pandora, I put away the night shadow and walked directly to the door, and the door automatically opened a gap inward enough for me to pass when I approached. After I walked through the gap, the door opened again. It slowly closed behind me.

Behind the gate is the inside of the castle. The entrance is first a hall, but besides a dozen supporting pillars, there are only the stairs located up ahead and the four gates on both sides.

According to Pandora’s description, I moved towards the stairs in front of me and walked over, but instead of going up, I walked along the side of the stairs to the back of the stairs. This staircase leads to the top of the castle, and I don't need to go up. There is a distance of more than five meters between the back of this staircase and the wall of the hall. There is also a gate here, but because it is behind the stairs, the gate is not visible from the entrance.

After passing through this door, I entered a round room, or a stairwell. This holiday is only a small platform of more than 30 square meters behind the gate. On the left side of the platform is a staircase that rotates down the wall of the room. However, because the bottom is too deep, I didn’t plan to take the stairs at all. Jumped out directly from the edge of the platform.

Although the big pit outside the castle and the vertical passage in the castle look similar, they are actually quite different. The big pit outside and the shaft here are good for hell, but if you jump directly from the big pit outside, then you will fall directly to the starting point of the path of the dead, and you must go through that road down. The countless dangerous environments in hell can only reach the real underworld, otherwise you will get lost in the endless space between them. However, the road inside the castle will not connect there. It will directly enter the underworld from here. It is definitely much safer than the big pit outside, and it is much faster. After all, the gap between the underworld and Human World is out. Throwing 10,000 people into the dangerous area of ​​the famous name, and being able to run out of one, it is a miracle among miracles.

I fell all the way down the passage in the center of the spiral staircase. With wings to assist in slowing down, I don't have to worry about any problems with falling, and it is much faster than walking up the stairs.

After falling for more than ten minutes, I finally saw the ground below. After controlling my speed and landing on the ground steadily, I walked out from the only door here.

There is a wide avenue directly behind this door with only one frame. On both sides are beautiful gardens and various cute animals. If it weren’t for the existence of the Black Palace in the distance, I would never Believe that this is the underworld. If there is another sun hanging in the sky, this place is simply the legendary Shangri-La.

oh la la. When I was attracted by the sight in front of me, two sound of armor collision suddenly heard next to me, and then I heard a voice shouting: "Stop. Who you are? Do you dare to enter the underworld?"

< p>I turned my head and glanced at the talking guy. This is just an ordinary Saint Seiya, but his equipment is very gorgeous. It is said that the equipment of the Underworld series in the Olympus Divine Race is the best, and now it seems that it is true, even the gatekeeper wears such a good armor. In contrast, the gang of angels of Jehovah is from Beggars' Sect.

After looking at the guard, I did not answer his question. Instead, I reached out and showed a badge and asked: "Do you know where Aikos and Minos are?"

The guard saw the badge and quickly put away his weapon and knelt down on one knee: "Sorry, I didn't know that you are from Lord Ladamantis. Lord Minos is in the court, where is Lord Akos? I don’t know.” (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets.
