The further we moved forward, the stronger the feeling of heart palpitations became.
For a moment, even Roy hesitated. He found that things seemed to be a little different from what he had guessed. The owner of this former ruins was probably not just a demon lord...
If he hadn't seen those fossilized insect eggs and known how long it had taken, Roy might have turned around and left.
In this way, Roy continued to move forward with force all the way. In the end, Roy found that the lava river was getting shallower and shallower, and the two of them gradually came from the bottom of the river to the surface.
Finally, Roy and Bainiya appeared at the source of the magma river. This was a very huge... valley, surrounded by tall rock walls. On both sides, there was a waterfall formed by magma falling vertically.
The fiery red hot magma gathers at the bottom of the valley, forming a river flowing outward.
On the rest of the rock wall, there are a large number of long strips of insect eggs densely and neatly arranged!
Looking at it at a glance, I'm afraid it will really make people suffer from trypophobia. There are millions of insect egg fossils here. They are embedded in the rock wall, except for the occasional ones that fall off because of the rock wall.
Then as the magma was transported out, the remaining insect egg fossils still stood upright.
Roy and Bainiya continued to move forward, looking at this scene in surprise. If according to Bainiya, these insect eggs are soldiers, then what a terrifying army would those millions of insects be?
Then think about it on the other hand, how much magic power would be consumed to arrange these millions of insect eggs!?
The two walked forward cautiously, and soon came to a huge square, which seemed to be the center of the ruins. There were a large number of incomplete demon-made building fragments scattered around, and many collapsed and broken statues had even been destroyed.
There are signs of weathering, and the original appearance is no longer visible.
On the empty ground of the square, a huge, rust-red five-pointed star magic circle was engraved there, but this magic circle was also incomplete, and many of the demonic characters were blurred.
Roy and Bainiya looked at each other in confusion, looking at this magic circle. The huge and strong sense of threat before came from here. When they arrived at the square, the sense of threat had reached its peak.
"What should I do?" Bainiya asked Roy: "It seems that there is some kind of existence hidden here. If I am not mistaken, this magic circle should be activated to appear..."
Roy was also struggling. After thinking for a while, he asked Bainiya: "Can you tell what the content of this magic circle is?"
"I'm not sure, but I'm sure that this is not a sealing formation!" Bainiya said: "This is an abyss world, there can be no foreign enemies, and similarly, no demon will be stupid enough to seal himself, right?"
"It's hard to say..." Roy said: "I can only feel that there seems to be a special alien space here, and it is not stable. I can even vaguely feel the unstable space fluctuations here... This shows that even if
This magic circle is hiding something, and it's almost on the verge of failure."
"Then maybe it can be opened without activating the magic circle?" Bainiya asked.
"To be on the safe side, try another method!" Roy looked around and picked up a larger stone on the ground. The light of the Lumen Flame ignited from his palm, and then he saw the stone quickly falling into Roy's palm.
Being shaped quickly.
What Roy created was an eyeball-shaped object. After the thing was formed, Roy sent it into the system space and defined its properties.
This is a [space detector]. Just in case, Roy did not give it any magic power. He just defined it as a photography function, and then set it up to be transported to a designated space and recalled.
ability.
After taking it out again, Roy carefully sensed the location of the unstable space, raised his hand, and used space magic to send the detector in.
After the detector is sent in, it will start working. It will take pictures of things inside the different space. After a while, Roy called it back.
Then he and Bainiya began to review the photos taken.
As a result, Roy and Bainiya couldn't help but be shocked when they saw what the camera captured!
"How... how is it possible!?" Bainiya's eyes were very frightened, and she said: "This... what on earth is this?"
"I don't know, but I can confirm that there shouldn't be any danger..." Roy had a thoughtful look in his eyes. He gritted his teeth, gathered his magic power on his hands, and directly used space magic to tear apart the strange thing he sensed.
space!
The next second, a huge dark object suddenly appeared on the square!
With the appearance of this pitch-black object, an astonishing magical power filled the entire space.
Under the impact of this magical aura, it took a while for Bainiya to come back to her senses. Holding back her fear and uneasiness, she raised her hand and shot dozens of fireballs, using the firelight for illumination. Then the two of them finally saw clearly the objects in front of them.
.
The object that appeared in the square was a huge... insect corpse!
No, it's not an insect corpse. Roy and the others discovered later that this was actually just an empty shell, because there was a huge hole in the back half of the thing, as if something had gotten out from the inside!
"Is it...shedding its shell?" Bainiya said uncertainly.
"Probably!" Roy nodded and carefully observed the appearance of the empty shell. However, as he looked at it, Roy's eyes became weirder.
Because he discovered that the insect-shaped shell in front of him looked very much like a...fly!
Its head has a pair of huge eyes that are close together. From the shape of the eyes, you can see the traces of countless densely packed compound eyes, and on the lower body that sheds its shell, there are six insect legs with countless burrs.
The molting shell in front of me, apart from the fact that the wings are not visible, really looks like a fly, but it is countless times larger than a real fly.
However, the empty shell in front of me actually exudes an extremely powerful magical aura...
The more Bainiya looked at it, the more surprised she became. She couldn't help turning her head to look at Roy. Roy did the same, looking at Bainiya with surprised eyes, because looking at this thing, and the aura it still exudes.
Powerful magic power, the two of them thought of a name at the same time.
"Beelzebub... Demon King Beelzebub!?"
Beelzebub, in many human myths and legends, is called the Lord of the Flies. People say that he is just a giant fly. Like the devil Samael who represents anger, he is also one of the most famous devils among the devils.
One, is regarded as the embodiment of gluttony.
Roy and Bainiya never thought that they would find Beelzebub's... remains in the underground!
Of course, the thing in front of me cannot be Beelzebub himself. It is just an empty shell left behind by him. His body has long gone.
"Can flies... shed their shells?" Roy asked doubtfully.
"Of course a real fly won't..." Bainiya said: "But the problem is, Beelzebub is not a real fly, he is just a fly-like insect-shaped demon..."
"That's a reasonable explanation..." Roy nodded, walked forward and stood in front of the corpse.
His three-meter-tall body seemed very small in front of this corpse, but Roy still stretched out his hand and gently touched the burr leg shell.
"No stress reaction!" Roy waved his hand and said: "The huge magic power on it seems to be left behind passively. With the protection of these magic powers, and being hidden in a different space, this relic has no
It fossilizes like insect eggs, but looks like new.”
Bainiya said a little frustrated: "It seems that the reason why Dahei became so huge is not because there are rare mineral deposits in the ground, but because it swallowed the eggs left by the devil Beelzebub, even if those eggs have already
It has become a fossil, and its magic power is already very weak, but it has been devoured for a long time, and it is also an insect-type monster, so it will be stimulated and mutate."
"It seems that is indeed the case. No wonder it doesn't dare to come in here. It only dares to stay on the outer edge and eat the eggs that drift out. The magic power of a demon king's remains is enough to deter it." Roy said.
: "I just don't know now whether this relic was left behind when Beelzebub was promoted to the Demon King... After all, if it is just something left over from Beelzebub's time as the Demon Lord, this magical power would be too amazing."
Hearing Roy's words, Bainiya's eyes suddenly lit up and she said, "Dear, if this is really the case, then maybe you can find a way to become the Demon King from this corpse?"
"How can it be so simple?" Roy shook his head and said: "If you can find a way to be promoted by relying on the remains of the Demon King, then the Demon Lords are not satisfied with finding similar things in the world? But so far, you have heard
Is there any demon lord who does this?"
"Not necessarily!" Bainiya said: "Don't forget, in the entire abyss world, only Beelzebub is an insect-shaped demon. This is just an example. It is impossible for other demon kings to be like Beelzebub.
Shedding her shell leaves such an empty shell! The other demon lords have no place to look for it."
After hearing Bainiya's analysis, Roy couldn't help but be stunned, but then a strange feeling couldn't help but arise.
Yes, if it is true that Beelzebub's remains are just one example as Bainiya said, then why was he found it by himself? When he first chose this fragmented world, he never thought that it would be buried here.
With this kind of surprise.
What is this? Is there some divine will? Or is it just good luck?
Or...is it the identity of the [Chosen One of the Abyss] that is causing trouble again?
Shaking his head, Roy threw away these messy thoughts and began to think.
This relic is something left over from a very long time ago. Although Roy has never seen Beelzebub with his own eyes, he also understands that Beelzebub should already be at the top level, at the level of the Original Sin Demon King. This body
The slough is not his clone, it just retains some of his magic power. It is very strange and unique, but... what its real use is, Roy can't think of for a while.
Turning around to look around, Roy saw the dense insect egg fossils again. Suddenly his heart moved. He flipped his wrist and a flesh seed appeared in his palm.
After this flesh and blood seed appeared, it beat slightly, like a heart. Bainiya had never seen such a thing before, so she asked out of curiosity.
"This is the seed of the Egg of the Red Sea! It was secretly obtained from Lilith!" Roy replied as he stretched out his finger and inserted it into the ground. After inserting a hole in the ground, Roy buried the seed.
, then relaxed the muscle defense of his palm, and used his nails to draw a blood mark on his palm.
After watching his demon blood flow out, Roy dropped the blood on the place where the seed was buried.
A moment later, under Bainiya's surprised gaze, the ground began to tremble slightly. The next second, countless limbs and tentacles emerged from the ground and quickly spread around.
These tentacles are the flesh and blood roots of the Red Sea Egg. Nourished by Roy's demon blood, they grow rapidly, and... spontaneously begin to interweave towards the rock wall, wrapping the densely packed insect egg fossils.
