Chapter 225 Meeting Yier Again
"This is the Styx..." Zhang Debiao muttered as he looked at the river winding out of the space crack.
The largest river on the continent is the Alganzhi River, which is majestic and vast. It flows eastward from the western plateau and gallops for thousands of miles. But compared with the Styx, the Alganzhi River is just a small earthworm and is unbearable to look at.
There is no other river in the world that is more magnificent and legendary than the Styx.
The Styx flows out from the endless void. No one has ever been able to explore the origin of this river. This river flows through the nine planes of the abyss, through nine worlds, and then flows into the netherworld.
If it were just these, the Styx would not be the most magnificent river. This river runs through the entire netherworld, the nine hells, the seven purgatory, and finally flows into the sea of the underworld, experiencing a total of 25 planes of the world!
In the range where the Styx flows, the space is inverted and the laws are chaotic, so the gravity here will disappear, and everything will be suspended in the air, with a situation where it is neither up nor down.
As for the creatures in the Styx, they are also strange and even more bizarre than the creatures in the abyss.
In history, many magicians suspected that the demon creatures in hell evolved from the creatures in the Styx.
Of course, this is just a legend, and there is no definite evidence.
"Xiao Hei just said that the Styx is the passage to the next layer of the abyss. It seems to be true." Zhang Debiao looked at the vast Styx, which flowed into a dark hole in this continent, and thought to himself.
Here, Tai Ge can fly freely, which means there is air here, and Xiao Hei can control the wind magic element, which means that except for the lack of gravity here, everything else is normal, so it is not impossible to fly to the next layer of the abyss along the Styx passage.
Zhang Debiao looked at the Styx and hesitated. He really wanted to take this opportunity to go to the second layer of the abyss, but this time the Nanming Principality sent a large army deep into the sinking abyss to prepare for a surprise attack on Xinli Tantalum City. Although they were annihilated, it showed a problem that the principality had begun to attack Nanjiang.
In the barbarian's heart, nothing is more important than his own nation. For the sake of his own national interests, he would not hesitate to sacrifice his life. Zhang Debiao looked at the Styx with nostalgia, and was about to turn around and leave. Suddenly, a melodious call came from the river. Hundreds of strong water ghosts stepped on the water, carrying thick ropes on their shoulders, shouting calls, and slowly pulled a building ship out of the Styx channel.
Because there is no gravity, the building ship is perpendicular to the ground, as if it is sailing straight into the sky, which looks very strange.
"Stop!"
A great undead mage stood at the bow, commanding the water ghosts, and shouted loudly: "Moor the ship at the shore!"
The water ghosts pulled the building ship with great effort and slowly walked out of the Styx. The building ship slowly rose horizontally in the water, and then slowly sailed out of the Styx, silently passing through the sky, and headed for a mountain suspended in the air.
After a while, the ship gently touched the base of the floating mountain, and the water ghosts quickly wrapped the rope around the stone pillar at the foot of the mountain to prevent the ship from drifting away with the wind.
The great undead mage bowed slightly to the cabin and said respectfully: "Lady Saint, the ship has been moored."
A silver bell-like voice came from the ship, crisp and pleasant. "Dear guests, we have arrived at the abyss, please get off the ship!"
Zhang Debiao's heart was slightly shocked, and he quickly jumped up and landed on Tai Ge's back. Looking down from above, he saw an old mage and three men and two women slowly walking out of the cabin. It seemed that the old mage led his disciples out for training.
Zhang Debiao was slightly disappointed when he didn't see the person he imagined. But he saw the old magician smiled at the cabin and said, "Saintess, please stay. In this season, we can safely pass through the Styx channel with our master and disciples. Thank you for your help."
In the cabin, a woman in white clothes as white as snow slowly walked out. She was barefoot and never touched the ground. She seemed like a goddess who had descended to the mortal world. Her every move, every frown and smile had a taste that was not tainted by the fireworks of the mortal world. She said, "Magician Kennedy, you are too polite. You have done a favor to my Temple of Light. It is only natural to send you away."
The old magician thanked him again and again, took his disciples off the boat, and performed the floating spell to leave.
The Evil Spirit Saint watched them leave, and then said to the Undead Grand Mage: "Uncle Danny, let's go back."
"Yes, Saint Lady." The Undead Grand Mage bowed slightly. Iael was about to return to the cabin, but suddenly she had an idea and looked up. She saw two huge monsters hovering in the air. One was a six-winged golden light beast with three pairs of wings. Its belly was pure white fur, while its back and feathers were pure black. The other was a three-headed hellhound that had evolved to its full form.
On the back of the six-winged golden light beast stood a rough man, staring at her intently.
"Could it be him?"
Yi Ai'er showed a happy expression on his face, and suddenly he flew up and landed on the back of the six-winged golden light beast, chirping: "Aman, when I left, I told you to come to the abyss to see me when you have time, and you really came!"
Zhang Debiao scratched his head and grinned: "Yes, I came all the way from the mainland, and I traveled thousands of miles to find this place."
"You are so thoughtful." Yi Ai'er smiled, and suddenly thought of something, her face blushed a little, lowered her head and entangled her fingers with the corner of her clothes, and whispered: "You came all the way to see me?"
"Of course."
The barbarian was full of pride and laughed: "If I didn't know the way, I would have come to see you a long time ago!"
Brother Tai and Xiao Hei curled their lips together and thought to themselves: "Come all the way here? You lied without blinking an eye. Who was the guy who got lost just now?"
Yi'er was extremely shy and said softly: "You treat me like this, I'm really happy..."
Zhang Debiao suddenly felt that something was wrong, and the atmosphere seemed a bit ambiguous. Yi'er Niuniu pinched her, acting like a child, and Manzi wanted her to be like before, fighting and killing him when she met him. At this moment, the saint became gentle, and he had a headache. Nervous, not sure what to say.
The atmosphere became more and more ambiguous, and a strange emotion spread between the two of them. Manzi coughed twice and was about to speak. Yi'er suddenly woke up. The shyness just now was gone, and she said seriously: "Aman, Can you beat me now?"
Seeing her serious face, Zhang Debiao obviously wasn't joking. He scratched his head again and asked tentatively: "It should be about the same, right?"
"That's good!"
Yi'er became happy again, stood on the edge of Tiger's wings, leaned down and shouted to the building below: "Uncle Danny, go back! Tell the Pope and the elders that I met the man who stole the Holy Scriptures The little thief was no match for him and was kidnapped by him! "
Danny, the Archmage of the Undead, was startled and almost cried, shouting: "Holy Lady, my sister-in-law, please stop making trouble and come down quickly! If I say this when I go back, the Pope will definitely If you don’t believe me, you have to slap me to death!”
Yi'er smiled and said: "Just tell him that that person is the Fighting Saint of Southern Xinjiang, and he brings a six-winged golden light beast and a three-headed hell dog. They are all super monsters that have evolved to their full body. Don't talk about me. Even if the Pope comes in person, he is no match, and he will definitely not kill you."
The Archmage of the Undead’s voice was filled with tears as he begged, “My aunt, if you don’t tell me the name of your enemy, I won’t be able to explain it to you when I get back!”
Yi'er smiled and said: "I have found out everything. His name is De Biao Manchui, nicknamed Aman, and Zhang Debiao. He is from southern Xinjiang and is not married yet."
Danny shuddered and muttered in a low voice: "You know very well whether someone has a family or not. If I say this when I go back, I will definitely be slapped to death by the Pope..."
Seeing that he had no objection, Yi'er cheered, breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "I've been bored in the temple all day, and it's hard to come out for some air. I'm almost suffocated to death... Wow, Brother Tai, you've become so good. Huge!”
"That's natural!" Tiger said proudly, bending his front legs, "I exercise every day. Look, my biceps... Aman!"
Brother Tai suddenly roared and said excitedly: "Look, look, I really have biceps!"
The three-headed hellhound curiously leaned over his head and took a look. He suddenly lost interest and said casually: "Brother Tai, the fur on your arms is wrinkled together."
"It's really muscle, not skin! Hey, where did the muscle that was there just now go..."
Brother Tai pinched with his paws for a long time, but still couldn't find the bulging muscle, and explained angrily: "There were guests today, and he was too shy to come out. My biceps only showed up when no one was around... …”
Xiao Hei suddenly stood up, standing on his two hind legs in the air, and his two front legs were bent up. His muscles were full and his fur was stretched high. His three heads smiled ferociously: "Brother Tai, this is the time." It’s called the biceps! You’ve been flying around in the air all day long without running and exercising!”
…
"Yiel, have you become a sword master?" Zhang Debiao was completely speechless at the two super monsters and turned around to ask. He just noticed that Yi Aier was flying through the void and flying directly up from the building boat, so he asked: "By the way, why is High Priest Musius not with you?"
"High Priest Musius passed away..."
Yi'er looked gloomy and whispered: "That day I left the Lost Swamp and broke through to the realm of Sword Master by chance. High Priest Musius was protecting the law. Unexpectedly, a woman in black robe came and attacked me without any explanation. High Priest Musius for To protect me, I was beaten to a pulp by that woman. After I broke through the Sword Master, I immediately started fighting with her. As a result, both of us were injured. Then I returned to the abyss alone, and it took me more than a month to recover from my injuries. However, the Pope and the elders did not allow me to do so. Go out again..."
"That's it." Zhang Debiao murmured.
That woman in black robe must be the former saint of the God King's Palace. She returned to the God King's Palace immediately after fighting Yi Aier. However, her injuries were too serious, and her meridians were constantly eroded by the divine energy of the Great Red Heavenly Demon along the way. When she arrived at the God's King's Palace, she The body was burned to death by the demonic flames.
"Aman, where are we going?" Yi'er raised her head, looked around, and suddenly asked.
"Southern Xinjiang."
The saint was silent for a moment and said: "You are going the wrong way."
…
In southern Xinjiang, there is a strong iron wall.
At this moment, the so-called indestructible iron wall of the pass was finally opened. The city gate was opened, and the city wall was riddled with holes. Black smoke rose from the city. You could also vaguely see the cruelty of this war. Groups of Nanming soldiers rode from the city. The good horses from the Western Regions poured into this great pass with tired faces.
The portal of the Northern Zhou Dynasty finally fell under the hooves of the principality's army.
In front of Iron Wall Pass, there is a messy battlefield, with countless corpses lying on the ground, knives and swords, blood and fire, swaying flags and rising smoke. This is where the Iron Cavalry Forbidden Army and the three major forces of Nanming, land, fire and darkness are fighting. Where the legions fought fierce battles, among the corpses were cavalry guards and soldiers of the principality.
The Principality has six major legions, commanded by the six elements: earth, water, wind, fire, light, and darkness. The Water and Wind Legions are still in the Western Plateau, where the situation has just been pacified and is unstable, requiring a large army to suppress it. The Light Knight Legion is guarding Yanjing and is the direct imperial army of the Southern Ming ruler. It did not participate in the war.
"By the order of the commander!"
A messenger riding a giant shark lizard beast was walking back and forth on the edge of the battlefield, shouting loudly: "By the order of the commander Dancher, in order to prevent the spread of the plague, all armies must leave the battlefield as soon as possible, and the dark pastoral army must clean up the bodies!"
The soldiers who were cleaning the battlefield heard this and hurriedly stood up and ran out of the battlefield, complaining in a low voice: "What dark pastoral army? It's clearly a group of undead magicians, that group of monsters..."
"Silence! Howard, you are going to die! It is said that many people in the dark pastoral army are priests of the God King Temple. If they hear you, you will not be able to die even if you have ten lives!"
While speaking, more than a dozen magicians wearing black robes and holding scepters slowly walked to the center of the battlefield, with solemn expressions. They raised their scepters one by one and murmured incessantly. After a while, black vortices suddenly appeared, and bursts of foul smell came from them. Then the vortexes kept wriggling, and large green insects crawled out of the vortexes.
This insect looks very similar to cabbage worms, but it is extremely huge, up to six or seven meters long, with metal armor on its back, no head, only a turbine-shaped mouth full of sharp teeth, and eight tentacles covered with pus growing around its mouth, waving in the air. Above its big mouth, there are two tentacle-like things, and the top of the tentacles are its eyes, opening and closing, greedily looking at the corpses on the battlefield.
Suddenly, a big insect waved its tentacles, rolled up a corpse, and stuffed it into its mouth. The circles of sharp teeth suddenly rotated wildly, crushing the soldier's corpse and the armor on his body into pieces and swallowing them into its stomach.
"What a delicious human body and soul!" The insect praised.
The other insects immediately started to "clean" the battlefield and quickly devoured the bodies of the sacrificed soldiers.
This is a creature unique to hell, the demon scavenger.
"Too few bodies." A magician from the Dark Priest Army suddenly spoke up, his voice dry and sonorous, "Not enough to fill the babies' stomachs. It's really not easy to feed these babies!"
Another magician from the Dark Priest Army grinned, glanced back, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, there is South Xinjiang behind us, there are plenty of bodies!"
