Chapter 1206: Deep Into the Tiger's Den

"brush!"

Breaking through the "diaphragm", I carried two gleaming sharp blades into the bottom of the Storm Abyss. The unbearable flames and storms in front of me disappeared in an instant, and were replaced by a beam of light projected from the sky and fell into the boundless abyss. In the darkness, I looked up and saw only the ferocious big eye that was stirring up storms and flames. It also made me realize that this big eye was the energy source of the Storm Abyss, and it was precisely because of it that it formed such a similar thing. The topography of the energy funnel.

…

Following the light beam, he flew all the way down. After flying for about 10 minutes, the skylight fell on a main hall. It was a main hall paved with bluestone bricks. It was simple and solemn. Around the main hall stood warriors with bright swords and armor. Their expressions were solemn. If it weren't for the slightly rotten corners of their mouths, I would have thought that these people were not undead, but living people.

And I fell from the sky, my wings spread out, and suddenly I felt like an angel was coming from heaven. Of course, I was not so naive that I really thought I was an angel. I was just a player, and I came here to find Pei'er.

…

They didn't seem to notice that I was in the sky, and a group of warriors on the ground were practicing hard.

An old man holding a cane, with white beard and hair, walked tremblingly to the side of the hall and said in an old voice: "This is the fourth selection. Whether you can become a guard of the Demon Palace depends on today's battle. Zhao Jin , whoever wins against Xu Yan will get the honor of serving as a guard beside His Highness Pei'er!"

Two warriors came out, held long swords and bowed, saying: "Yes, elder!"

Xu Yan?

I trembled all over. Isn't this the former leader of the Kuang Lei Army? He died in the battle for his country in Fanshu City, how could he appear here? Judging from the appearance, it is indeed Xu Yan. Has he been resurrected as an undead warrior?

It seems that this is indeed the case. Xu Yan was once considered Pei'er's subordinate, but now he is competing with another dead man for the honor of Pei'er's close guard?

My heart is getting heavier and heavier, who is this Pei'er? If it is really the little princess Pei'er of Tianling City, why doesn't she go to Tianling City to find me, and why does she launch an army to massacre the players in Tianling City? Definitely not, this person can't be Pei'er.

In the field, Xu Yan and Zhao Jin were already fighting together. The collision of martial arts burst out flames and frost. The whole hall was trembling slightly because of the battle between these two people. I watched intently. Xu Yan's martial arts seemed to be better than alive. Are you getting closer and more diligent now? After taking a closer look, I discovered that Xu Yan is a two-star divine general boss, while Zhao Jin is a one-star divine general. It’s no wonder. However, after Xu Yan died in battle, his strength actually increased instead of falling. This is somewhat surprising. Some are hard to admit.

After a few rounds, Xu Yan made a sudden slash. Suddenly, Zhao Jin slowly fell down, and a blood mark appeared on his neck. Then his body suddenly collapsed into a pile of rotten meat. Xu Yan sneered and leaned down. The body gnaws at the opponent's flesh and blood, and at the same time absorbs part of his power for its own use.

"Xu Yansheng!"

The elder held the staff and continued to say in an old voice: "Zhao Jin served his duty faithfully and has died. He was a respectable person. Unfortunately, he is not qualified to be His Highness's guard! Continue, Qin Xiong will fight against the king next Chao, the winner among you can also become the guardian of His Highness Pei'er's Demon Palace!"

The other two boss-level warriors also fought together. I finally understood that this is a competition ground, and it is a god-level competition ground. Everyone standing in this hall is a star-level boss. It is terrifying and purgatory. Is this how China selects talents? You know, god-level bosses are very rare in Tianling City, and the entire Royal Forest Army does not exceed 5 people, but there are actually more than 20 god-level bosses in this small hall. It’s terrible!

…

"Keng!"

Qin Xiong's battle ax glowed with thunder, illuminating everything around him, but under a clever attack from his opponent, his battle ax was blocked and flew away!

"brush!"

The battle ax with the thunder light rushed towards me, and I hurriedly turned aside to avoid it, but dozens of god-level bosses on the ground had already seen me. Xu Yan even recognized me at a glance and shouted: "Yes. Li Xiaoyao, the commander of the Tianling City Royal Forest Army, why did he come to Purgatory? Let’s kill him together and claim credit from His Highness with his head!”

Xu Yan jumped up and struck at me with his sword carrying flames.

Naturally, I will not look down upon my former defeated general, not to mention he is only a two-star general!

Condescendingly, I raised both swords together and pressed down. With a "bang", flames burst out. Under the heavy pressure, Xu Yan was knocked backwards and hit the main hall. The bluestone was shattered. This devil palace guard was really embarrassed. , and a dozen other god-level bosses also rushed over. I couldn't fight so many people alone, so I had no choice but to risk my fortune. I swooped down and went straight to the elder to capture the thief first!

"Buzz!"

Butterfly and Ganjiang roared with sword energy, and instantly launched 7 sharp slashes, all of which fell on the elder's staff. Although the elder was a five-star general, he didn't seem to intend to fight with me. , holding the staff and using the anti-shock force, he retreated tens of meters, and shouted: "Li Xiaoyao, what are you doing in Storm Purgatory?"

I stood there, with the ice wings behind me flapping slightly, and said, "Take me to see Pei'er."

"Meet His Highness?"

A strange look flashed across the elder's face, and he smiled: "Why do you want to see His Highness Pei'er?"

"Because she is my old friend."

"Oh, really?" The elder smiled slightly and raised his hand and said, "Generals, stop attacking. This man wants to see His Highness Pei'er. In this case, I will take him to see His Highness. You will continue to stay here to select the guards of the Demon Palace. Xu Yan and Wang Chao, you two will be selected as the guards of the Demon Palace. Come with me to escort Li Xiaoyao to the Demon Palace to see His Highness."

"Yes!" The two two-star god-level bosses clasped their fists respectfully and promised.

...

This purgatory is too dark, so I raised my arm and held the butterfly high. The light of the five-star artifact illuminated a range of nearly 10 meters, which also allowed me to gain some precious vision.

I walked along the corridor beside the main hall for nearly 10 minutes. There was a black ocean ahead. I couldn't help but ask, "What is this?"

"The Sea of ​​Death." The elder raised his mouth and smiled, "The Great Master has never been to the underworld, so he must have never seen this ocean, right? Be careful, don't fall in, otherwise even if you have the ability to reach the sky, you will never recover!"

I frowned and looked at it. Indeed, even the sea water was black. In the surging waves, I could vaguely see howling faces, as if they were looking for scapegoats. If I fell in, I might really die. But since I was here, I was not afraid of death. As long as I could see Pei'er, my mission would basically be completed. What I wanted to know most now was whether this Pei'er was the Pei'er of Tianling City?

The elder raised his staff, the tip of which glowed blue in the night sky, and he shouted, "One-eyed man, come and ferry us, the guests are coming!"

In the distance, a dim light slowly approached. It was a man rowing a small boat. As expected, he had only one eye, a hideous eye, and he was hunched over the stern. The elder boarded the boat immediately, and I stepped onto the deck. At the same time, I looked up at the sky. It seemed that a series of black shadows were passing through the sky. What was that?

"Don't look at it." The elder looked at me playfully and smiled, "Don't try to enter the sky, Da Zhige, otherwise your end will be more miserable than eternal damnation."

Me: "..."

It was really uncomfortable to be threatened by an NPC, but I gladly accepted the threatening suggestion. There was no need to be stubborn. In such a place, smart people can live longer.

…

The boat swayed slowly on the sea of ​​death. The ferry took nearly 20 minutes. Finally, a dim light came from afar. Not long after that, the lights finally came on. Countless lanterns were hung on both sides of the road. In front of it was a rather majestic palace, almost comparable to the imperial palace of Tianling City. However, the guards were all dead people, and from a distance, some corpse ghosts holding lamps could be seen cruising in the garden. For players, these corpse ghosts holding lamps were a symbol of death, but for the demons, the corpse ghosts holding lamps were probably the same as the couriers, and they were ignored.

"Da Zhige, don't you want to see His Highness? Come with me!" The elder smiled slightly.

I slowly followed him off the boat and walked forward along the path. On both sides were hideous and roaring corpse ghosts. The elder's pace was very slow, and I was not in a hurry. I followed him step by step.

After walking for a few minutes, I finally entered the palace.

There were demon palace riders everywhere along the way, but the demon palace riders here were no longer level 7 alien demons, but had been upgraded to level 8 alien demons, with a lot of attributes and enhanced skills. Are these the soldiers that Pei'er trained in Purgatory? Pei'er was a girl who was not inferior to men when she was alive, and she still did such things after her death. It seems that I should have thought of it earlier.

Groups of demon palace riders glared at me, as if they were ready to tear me to pieces at any time.

I finally made it to the road to the hall. The steps led directly to the 100-meter-high hall. When I stepped into the hall, I actually had an illusion. Is this... the palace of Tianling City?

Obviously, it looks a bit like it on the surface, but the reality is too different. Standing on both sides of the hall are not civil and military officials, but dead people covered with corpse spots. Just a glance, I was secretly shocked. In this small hall, there are 12 five-star god-level bosses and 30+ four-star god-level bosses. If all of them are released, it will definitely cause chaos in the world!

Moreover, the highest one is not even the five-star god-level boss, there are two king-level bosses!

…

On the commander's throne, a delicate figure sat there, wearing a blood-red cloak, with a long sword leaning against her legs. Moreover, there was a very eye-catching golden symbol embroidered on the chest of this woman, which was… the emblem of Tianling City!
