After passing through the portal opened by Hela, waves of scalding heat enveloped Rhodes' body.
Looking around, everything was red, and the fire filled everything in Rhodes' sight. If he stood here for a little longer, the soles of his feet would be the first to be unable to bear it.
"This is..."
Looking at the unique scene around him, Rhodes' eyes showed a bit of surprise.
"This is the place of trial, the endless lake of fire."
Next to Rhodes, Hela's voice came over, and she also passed through the portal and came to the trial site with Rhodes.
From Hela's words, Rhodes seemed to realize something, and his eyes became solemn.
Rhodes noticed that except for some charred ground on which to stand on the surrounding shores, the front was filled with hot magma.
Hot magma fills the entire space, like an ocean, but the ocean is not filled with cold sea water, but with endless flames.
The surrounding temperature has reached an unimaginable level. Rhodes noticed that a nearby demon had his entire arm burned to pieces because he touched the rising water mist.
However, the injuries suffered on their bodies, instead of making the abyss demons feel afraid, actually made them feel happy. Many abyss demons took the initiative to touch the nearby water mist with their bodies in order to seek physical harm.
If the magma in Lake Shiranui is too terrifying, these abyss demons will even touch the magma to seek greater pain.
Looking at the strange abyss demons nearby, Rhodes shook his head. Maybe following the King of Lust is not a good thing.
"Will this trial be held on the Lake of Fire?" Rhodes asked in a deep voice as if he thought of something.
"Your judgment is quite accurate." Hela nodded.
"Other than the flame elves, how should we go to the depths of the trial? There should be something nearby that can help us." Looking towards the endless lake of fire, Rhodes looked thoughtful.
With the current body of the little monster, it goes without saying that the consequences of falling into the lake of fire are natural. Creatures that are not immune to fire damage cannot move in the lake of fire. Even Hela does not have this ability.
In comparison, those creatures that are naturally immune to fire undoubtedly have an advantage at this moment. Whether they are big demons or fire elves, their actions will not be hindered in any way.
Because of this, Rhodes believes that there must be important things left by the king near here, maybe a magic potion to resist the flames, or some kind of special treasure that can allow the demons in the trial to go to the depths of the flames.
.
As expected, hearing what Rhodes said, Hela showed a satisfied smile: "You and I are thinking the same thing. The demon lords don't know what will happen in the trial in advance, but the kings must have prepared special things for us.
Strategic matters need to be explored by ourselves."
In the portal, in addition to the demons in the camp, there were also many small dark yellow monsters who came with Hela. Before that, Rhodes didn't know what Hela needed these little monsters for. Listen.
When she said this, Rhodes seemed to understand her intention.
Soon, as the creatures on the other side of the portal came to the trial area, Hela shouted an order to them:
"Our goal is the portal in the lake of fire, but now, we have to explore on the shore to find something that will help us. Demon lords, lead your men to explore the shore area and find the first danger.
Time to retreat, tell me the news, and don't conflict with other demons."
Following Hela's order, the nearby abyss lords responded one after another, leading their demons to explore around, while Rhodes stayed where he was, looking at the lake of fire ahead, wondering what he was thinking.
"Corien, you and the other flame elves, please explore the fire lake at close range. If you find anything, remember to tell me as soon as possible." On the side, Hela looked at the controlled flame elf and said softly.
.
Corian nodded, patted his chest and promised: "The mere flames can't trouble me at all. I can even go to the depths of the lake of fire to find out. I can feel that there is something there that is attracting me...
…”
Hela glanced at him with interest: "We will go there together."
At Hela's signal, the flame elf immediately took action. He floated above the lake of fire and began to explore the surroundings, diving under the lake of fire from time to time to find useful things.
During this process, Rhodes on the shore did not make any movement, but his brows furrowed deeper and deeper.
Rhodes recalled that he had heard rumors about the Lake of Fire in the revelation given by Messiga, but Rhodes did not pay attention to it at the time. Maybe Messiga himself was imprisoned somewhere in the Lake of Fire at this time.
But Rhodes couldn't find her.
Shaking his head and not thinking about other things, Rhodes focused his attention on the trial itself.
"Lord Eliot, what should we do?"
While Rhodes was thinking, a group of abyss demons came to him, and the one who asked this question was Laxi whom he met before.
At a glance, including Lexi, there are eight abyss demons here. Compared with the demons controlled by other abyss lords under Hela, their number is not large, but they are all controlled by Rhodes.<
/p>
According to Hela's order, these demons came to Rhodes, the little monster who killed the original abyss lord, and waited for his command.
"Follow me, let's explore along the shore." Rhodes thought for a while and then said.
Rhodes noticed that the location where Hela arrived through the portal was near the shore of the Lake of Fire. The other abyss lords led their demons to explore the unfamiliar land on the shore behind them, and Rhodes
I plan to take the evil spirit and explore along the shore.
From Hela's description of the trial, Rhodes realized that it was not an easy task to occupy the Gate of Pain.
If it is a simple attack, you only need to be the first to find the location of the portal and deal with nearby enemies, but occupying it means that you need to maintain control of the portal until the end of the first phase of the trial. p>
Even if the Gate of Pain is attacked first, if it cannot be occupied until the last moment, it will be meaningless and the remaining power will be wasted.
Rhodes didn't know when the first phase of the trial would end, but judging from the number of demon lords participating in the trial, it obviously wouldn't end in a few days. Rhodes still had time to wait until he encountered a truly powerful person.
Before the enemy, take the first step to improve your current strength.
