Volume 19 Chapter 194 The Strange Underworld

"Ling, do you know what this is?"

Ling shook his head and said, "We don't have such things there, but it seems to be some kind of low-level hell creature."

Xiaochun also nodded and said, "This thing must be a semi-spirited creature, otherwise I wouldn't be so afraid of the holy light. By the way, these things are also things from the Olympus tribe. Victoria might know what this is."

I thought it was right, so I summoned Victoria out and asked. The thing on the ground had been broken into ashes all over the ground, but Victoria nodded immediately after hearing our description: "I know this. I have seen this thing before, but I don't know what it is. But we don't have to worry too much. The ability of these things is to pull people into the ground and absorb the opponent's life energy. Once the vitality is sucked dry, it will turn into a rock. Apart from this ability, they have almost no special skills. We just need to resist when we are caught. Anyway, the power of these things is very average, and the power of combat personnel must be much stronger than it. Even the mage can probably compete with him at a draw. These things can have some effect when attacking free NPCs. It is basically impossible to succeed in dealing with the combat profession."

"This thing is so weak?"

"Of course," said Victoria: "This is the only way to the underworld. Hades's people have to pass through it often. If any powerful creature appeared here, wouldn't it be killed by them?"

"That's right." I thought about it and said to Yeying: "Fly a little higher later, don't move against the ground."

Ye Ying nodded to show that I understood. I glanced at the ashes on the ground and turned over and climbed onto Ye Ying, then took back Ling and Xiaochun and others to go back to the road.

Since this place is quite close to the center of Netherworld Mountain, we quickly left the outer mountains and entered the core area of ​​Netherworld Mountain. Unlike the situation where the outer circle is full of peaks, we just entered the core area of ​​Netherworld Mountain and found that we suddenly became wider. The central area of ​​the entire Netherworld Mountain is not the highest mountain, but a huge sinkhole.

This huge pit with a diameter of at least ten kilometers is roughly round. The edge of the cave entrance is basically a mountain that is 90 degrees vertically downward. Looking down from the edge of the cave entrance, it is pitch black. Even with my dark vision, I can only barely see a place that is more than ten kilometers deep. However, there is no change in the range within my eyesight. There is nothing else except the unchanging cliff wall.

Although this huge sinkhole is quite large, the core area of ​​Youming Mountain is not just such a big pit. In fact, there is a circle of circular plains around this pit. However, because the surrounding mountains penetrate into the core area differently, the shape of the outer ring of the plain is not very regular. The wide area is five or six kilometers wide from the edge of the sinkhole, and the narrow area is even only 10 or 20 meters wide.

The plain where we entered is relatively narrow. After leaving the valley formed by the peaks on both sides, we will reach the edge of the big pit less than a kilometer. Standing here, you can see a mountain that extends into the sinkhole opposite the big pit. At the top of the mountain, a huge castle towering towering, looking extremely 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 human world, which is equivalent to the first line of defense in the underworld.

Although Ye Ying could walk in the void, for safety, I still let him honestly follow the plains outside the entrance to the underworld and walk around the opposite castle.

Just now, I was blocked by the mountain where the castle was located. When I walked around here, I found that the mountain where the castle was actually not connected to the edge of the giant cave. It extends from the bottom of the pit like an independent pillar, and the only passage between the castle and the plain here is a stone bridge nearly 800 meters long. However, this stone bridge is not completely supported by the bridgeheads on both sides. From the beginning of the bridge, there will be an arch like an arch every fifty meters, just like a pier on a cable-stayed bridge in the real world. The only difference is that this arch is not very tall, and it is not supported on a solid ground, but completely floating. These things like piers will have three blue magic circles underneath, the uppermost layer is the largest, and the lower part is reduced in turn.

Looking at this long stone bridge, my first idea was to build something similar for Esinger, for nothing else, just because it looks so handsome. However, Esinger is on the beach and seems not suitable for building such things. Even if we dig a circle of deep pits around the city, the sea water will automatically fill it up, and it is impossible to cultivate this way.

After admiring the bridge for a while, I let Ye Ying run up. According to Pandora, there is only one detection spell on the bridge that detects the attributes of people coming and going. If it is a dark existence, there will be no reaction. So for Ye Ying and I, this bridge is just an ordinary bridge.

The eight hundred meters bridge Yeying soon ran to the opposite side. This end of the bridge is a stone square of thousands of square meters. There are cliffs on three sides of the edge of the square. The opposite side of the bridge is the exterior wall of the castle. In the center of this wall, there is a huge stone gate that is more than ten meters wide and more than forty meters high.

What was a little unexpected was that the carved thing in the center of this stone door was not the huge skull I imagined, but a gorgeous butterfly. This butterfly occupies almost the entire area of ​​the door. Its left and right wings are located on the left and right gates. The wings are lined with gorgeous colorful metal, and the middle is decorated with various gems, which looks gorgeous and majestic.

Because Pandora did not mention the relief on this door before, this is the first time I know this thing. Speaking of it, it is a bit strange to carve a butterfly at the entrance of the underworld. According to my opinion, even if you don’t have a skeleton to go up in this kind of place, you have to get at least a few extremely ugly monsters. This butterfly is really incompatible with the image of the underworld.

Although I thought this butterfly was strange, it was someone else's door after all. It was someone else's business that was happy about how to repair it, and it had nothing to do with me. According to the method given by Pandora, I put away the night shadow and walked directly to the gate. The door also opened a gap that was enough for me to pass when I got closer. After I walked through the gap, the door slowly closed behind me again.

Behind that gate is the inside of the castle. The first thing to enter is a hall, but in addition to a dozen pillars for support, there are only stairs located directly in front and four gates on both sides.

According to Pandora's description, I walked directly towards the stairs in front, but I did not walk up, but walked along the side of the stairs to the back of the stairs. This stairs lead to the castle, and I didn't need to go up. There is still more than five meters behind the stairs and the walls of the hall. There is also a gate here, but because it is behind the stairs, this gate cannot be seen from the entrance of the entrance.

After passing through this door, I entered a circular room, or a stairwell. This holiday only had a small platform of more than thirty square meters behind the gate. On the left side of the platform is a staircase that rotates downward along the wall of the room. However, because the bottom is too deep, I didn't plan to take the stairs at all, but jumped out directly from the edge of the platform.

Although the big pit outside the castle should look similar to the vertical passage in the castle, it actually has a big difference. The big pit outside and the vertical shaft here lead to hell, but if you jump directly from the big pit outside, you will fall directly to the starting point of the Road to the Dead, and walk down the road, you must pass through countless dangerous environments in hell to reach the real underworld, otherwise you will be lost in the endless crack space. However, the road inside the castle will not be connected there. You will go directly into the underworld when you go down here. It is definitely much safer than the big pit outside, and it is much faster to leave. After all, the crack area between the underworld and the human world is a famous dangerous area. If you throw 10,000 people into it, you will be a miracle in a miracle.

I fell down the passage in the center of the spiral stairs, with wings assisting slowing, and I don't have to worry about falling or falling, and this is much faster than walking the stairs.

After about ten minutes of continuous decline, I finally saw the ground below. After controlling my speed and landing steadily on the ground, I walked out through the only door here.

Behind this gate with only a door frame is a wide avenue, with beautiful gardens and various cute little animals on both sides. If it weren't for the existence of the black palace in the distance, I would never believe that this was the underworld. If there was another sun hanging in the sky, this place would be the legendary Shangri-La.

Crazy. When I was attracted by the scene in front of me, two armor collisions suddenly came from beside me, and then a voice shouted: "Stop. Who are you? Do you dare to break in the underworld?"

I turned my head and looked at the guy who was talking. This was just an ordinary Saint Seiya, but the equipment was very gorgeous. It is said that the equipment of the God of the Olympus clan was the best. Now it seems that it is true that even the guardians wear such good armor. In comparison, the gang of Jehovah was from the Beggars' Sect.

After looking at the guard, I did not answer his question, but reached out to reveal a badge and asked, "Do you know where Aacos and Minos are?"
