Chapter 405: An Abominable Environment

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The dark red, barren land was littered with huge, eerie black rocks. The twisted scorched plants grew sparsely in the crevices of the rock. Lava flowed through the mountains, and the poisonous vapors were gushing from the cracks and holes in the earth. Red clouds were tumbling in the sky and the thunders were rumbling, looked frightening as if the endless sea of fire was hanging in the sky. And in this hellish sight, all sorts of low-level demons wandered aimlessly in the wilderness and were getting into fights for no reasons. They were the kind of chaotic monsters that were even lower than the lowest-order demon warriors. They were the ephemeral creatures that were born directly from this chaotic space, and they almost had no senses and were completely controlled by brutal impulses. If they survived in combat, they would have a chance to promote into a higher-order demon. But most of these lower-order demons would soon die and become part of the energy cycle of this space.

This was the space where demons lived--the challenge of survival, but those manic, grumpy creatures were willing to live like this.

Petrachelys was covered by dirty clouds in the sky, darting through the sky, dodging a swarm of low-level demons wandering in the red wilderness. The radar system detected a huge deep pit in the plains and there were almost no demons wandering around the pit. So they landed there.

When everybody came out of the ship, Hao Ren put the Petrachelys back into the dimensional pocket, and then all of them took a deep breath at the same time to feel the atmosphere of the Demonic Plane.

Lily immediately jumped up. Due to her sensitive nose, she was quickly choked by the strong sulfur fumes in the air. She was holding Hao Ren's arm and jumping up and down crazily and said, "I'm dying… I'm going to choke to death…"

And Nangong Wuyue's health point was kept dropping. The siren's eyes were glowing in green. She was gasping for air and said, "I'm really dying... This place is so dry... Water... Where's the water?"

"Water is a rare thing in the Demonic Plane, and it's quite useless for us, and I'm the only one who built the city near the water source to look after the other races," Y'zaks said and looked at the two ladies who looked suffered, "If you can't stand the environment here, you can..."

"Forget it, I still endure it." Nangong Wuyue could finally breathe. She waved her hands, tried to squeeze a little water from the air to form a protective enchantment but sighed and said, "It's more difficult than squeezing water in the desert... Can't believe you guys can live in a place like this."

Lanina did not think the environment was bad. She still took a deep breath comfortably, smiled and said, "The smell of my homeland... I haven't come back for a long time. I really miss the sulfur smell of this place."

Hao Ren looked back and found the huge plume of smoke was still striking. It looked like supporting the sky and connecting heaven and earth. The huge plume of smoke was so smooth and straight that it was almost impossible to see that it was actually formed by gas at this distance, only the vaguely visible lines that kept rolling over and over on the surface of the plume of smoke could prove that it was not an object. He was amazed at the scenes in the Demonic Plane, and the smoke plume was one of the most amazing scenes. "What is that?"

"The Helm smoke pillar, under it, is the Helm crater, also called the Great Pit," Y'zaks said with a solemn expression, "The diameter of this smoke pillar is more than 200 kilometers, the crater below it is one of the most magical things in the Demonic Plane. There was a huge hole in the crater that nobody knows where it leads to. It is said that even the most powerful demon could not reach the bottom of the Great Pit. For tens of thousands of years, the crater has been spewing out the smoke pillar. But when the smoke pillar rises high, it disappears into a space crack and nobody knows where it goes."

"You've got all the weird stuff here," Hao Ren said. He was amazed.

Y'zaks nodded solemnly and said, "Yes. The Demonic Plane is the most unstable form of space vesicles, there will be a lot of unnatural landscape. By the way, it's better to stay away from the smoke pillar. Without the protection of the spacecraft, the average person will die. The temperature in the smoke pillar is very high, and air mass of thousands degree will suddenly burst from the crater. Smoke and dust is highly toxic and is mixed with the neurotoxin that will make demons lose control."

"The smoke pillar is the arsenal of Serathon's Legion," Lanina explained, "Serathon, the demon king has a plague corps. They use highly toxic and neurotoxin in combat. Their weapons are created under the smoke pillar. Thanks to the smoke pillar, the old mad man is one of the most powerful demons and king's most dreaded adversary. "

"Don't call me that from now on," Y'zaks suddenly remembered that he should remind Lanina, "I'm no longer the demon king, and it's so easy to reveal my identity here. You can call me Wang just like everyone else."

Hao Ren rolled his eyes and said, "Now I realize why you get yourself that name…"

Lily thought for some time and finally realized it and said, "….Wang means the king!"

Y'zaks scratched his big bald head and said, "Just a coincidence."

Vivian used her hand to fan herself, frowning at the surrounding situation and said, "OK, let's stop chatting and get to the business. Lanina, you know the situation here, what's the plan?"

"We have to get to the Osidian plain as soon as possible, where the princess disappeared," Lanina nodded and said, "we have to leave here first. This is Serathon's territory. He and the king…Wang are mortal enemies. We need to cross the Demonic Foundry to get to the nearest teleportation portal, and we better go straight through—it's easy to bump into the patrolling team if we make a detour around the Demonic Foundry. "

"Can't we directly use teleportation here?" asked Hao Ren with the data terminal in his hand.

Lanina shook her head and said, "Better don't do it. Demons are experts in dimensional science. Even the dimensional magic of other races originated here first. It is easy for them to sense the unfamiliar dimensional door within hundreds of kilometers. And the demon king is cautious. They will monitor all the dimensional phenomena in their territory in order to prevent other people coming in."

Then the female demon laughed and said, "They fight all day long, even the demon king will have to be careful not to get beheaded all the time. This is the daily life in the demon world. The King... Wang almost ended the mess last time, but he was eventually stabbed by Serathon that idiot. It seemed that idiot likes this kind of chaotic life."

Hao Ren wanted to say that the data terminal had a high-tech teleportation function, perhaps it could bypass monitoring. But after thinking for a while, he decided not to take the risk. After all, the teleportation function of the data terminal was just to save their time. It was not a specialized spy device, and the teleportation was not encrypted. It would be a lot of trouble if the demons here noticed them. What a powerful man Y'zaks was, but he was still held here and beaten for months…

"Where is the Demonic Foundry?" Nangong Wuyue asked. She remembered Lanina mentioned it just now and knew that Y'zaks was imprisoned by the big demon named Serathon in the Demonic Foundry.

Lanina lifted her finger and pointed to the far-away ground that was cracked and rolled up. It was the edge of the huge deep pit that they saw before the ship landed. "That is the Demonic Foundry. Serathon held the enemies he captured in the bottom of the Demonic Foundry, tortured them and extracted their souls and injected them into the Hellfire Demon to expand his legion. But that place is gone now and Serathon encountered unexpected calamities, ha!"

Y'zaks was held in the Demonic Foundry. When Xi Ling disciples took him away, they also killed the demon guards who were trying to stop them and this also destroyed the entire Demonic Foundry. Lanina found it funny when mentioning this matter. Her thin devil's tail was wagging in the air. Lily looked at it and felt like want to do the same. But luckily, considering that the air here was bad for her beautiful hair, the husky finally resisted the urge to stretch out her tail and wag together with the demon.

They watched the surroundings, guarding against the sudden encounter of the wandering lower-order demons while heading toward the huge deep pit.
