In the frost-covered tavern, a crisp sound broke the frozen silence.
At the wine table near the door, the torso of the rock demon that had turned into an ice sculpture suddenly developed cracks, and slowly, the entire body was covered with cracks.
Wow——
The rock demon's body shattered into a pile of rubble covered with ice crystals.
After a few seconds of silence, the broken stones spontaneously pieced together to reassemble the rock demon's body. Red flames ignited in the gaps between the stones, melting away the frost on the body.
The rock demon returned to its original shape, but its body was more fragmented. He raised his hand and opened his lower jaw. With a crunching sound, the lower jaw was pushed back to its correct position.
It looked around at its "old friends", and the frost on their surfaces also began to fade away, and they resumed activity.
Everything was restored to the way it was at the beginning in the frozen tavern.
A high-level demon glanced at the rock demon that had broken itself apart and put it back together, and cursed: "Idiot."
"It's so arrogant."
"It's just a son of the devil..."
The hellish creatures complained all over the place to the humanoid demon behind the counter.
They were reminded by the old devil before the Ice Heart Demon arrived, and they collaborated to put on a show for this arrogant son of the devil.
The humanoid demon has long since returned to its original state, and the frost is beginning to melt away from its feet, dispelling the coldness that does not belong to the tavern.
"Old devil, did you suffer a big loss in your transaction?" A high-level devil teased hoarsely.
The smarter ones guessed the purpose of the Devil's son coming here: "Is that human being in a hurry to leave because of it?"
"Why don't you let us teach this son of the devil a lesson?" the rock demon said dullly. Compared to the rock demon, the balrog is more suitable to describe his appearance - the stone is too fine and his whole body is wrapped in flames.
Although the rock demon can go outside and get some stones to form a new body at any time, after all, these stones have been with it for decades and have already had deep feelings for it.
"Save your energy." The humanoid demon said to the poor rock demon: "By the way, the tavern will be closed tomorrow, so you don't need to come again."
"Why do you say that?"
"Old devil, are you actually scared?"
"Are you kidding us, old devil?"
"It's just that there is no need for a simple tavern to exist." The humanoid demon waved his hand: "Just a reminder, save your souls in the future. You ugly guys will be grateful to me in the future."
After saying that, the humanoid demon began to put away the empty wine glasses on the counter, and wiped the table like an ordinary waiter.
The hell creatures in the tavern looked at each other - the old devil is the owner of the tavern and the most powerful hell creature, even if it is old.
But the devil's mottos are usually like predictions of the apocalypse, with their own weird and fantastic colors.
What they say usually comes true.
"Old devil, please make it clear." the four-armed devil asked hoarsely.
The humanoid demon who was arranging the wine cabinet behind his back did not reply.
"The psychic who just left is the last guest of hell."
The hell creatures suddenly felt a chill that penetrated their bones, a chill that was far more terrifying than the power of the devil's son.
"Am I the only one who didn't understand what the old demon said?" the rock demon asked blankly.
A shout and curse sounded: "The old devil is saying that no more souls will come to hell in the future, stone head."
…
Skeleton horses gallop on the scorched earth leading to the top of the mountain.
The aura belonging to hellish creatures warns the surrounding low-level demons not to get close. Those higher-level demons are not afraid of a skeleton horse, but the aura of the rock demon above makes them fearful, and they watch the skeleton horse vigilantly as it passes through their territory.
The slope of the black volcano did not make Lu Li and the others feel uncomfortable on horseback, and its rapidity did not affect the gentleness on the horse's back at all.
"Do you know about the Wind of Death and the Great Rift Valley?" Lu Li asked.
"I just know it's dangerous out there."
Ruth was not qualified enough to know some hidden secrets of hell, so she resumed her silence and hurried on her way.
The occasional steep rock wall seemed like flat ground to the skeleton horse, and it stepped straight onto the nearly right-angled rock wall. Ruth was so frightened that she hugged Whitley tightly and found that the horse's back was still stable and would not fall at all.
Even if there is a lava river across the river, the skeleton horse will step straight across the river, ignoring the boiling hot magma.
Within a few dozen minutes, the skeleton horse had reached the middle of this magnificent mountain-like volcano. The abandoned town at the foot of the mountain was no longer distinguishable, and the endless magma sea in the distance left Ruth speechless in shock.
This is far more shocking than the sea.
call!
The flames that had converged into the chest of the skeleton horse suddenly ignited and enveloped the three figures on the horse into the flames. Ruth was startled and soon discovered that the flames were not hot, but as warm as hot water.
They have stepped into the scope of the wind of death, and the flames of the skeleton horse are protecting them.
Lu Li's gaze moved from the magma sea to the surroundings.
Very light gray haze shrouded the surroundings, making it difficult to see clearly. But as they approached the top of the mountain, they were becoming solid and obstructing the view.
The strange thing is that when you look up at the top of the mountain from the foot of the mountain, you cannot see the mist caused by the death wind.
The vastness and magnificence of the magma sea soon disappeared outside the increasingly thick wind of death. The surrounding light began to become dim, and the hell with the main tone of fiery red began to become dark and strange.
Tens of minutes later, even the lava from the cliff could not stop the skeleton horse that was going straight forward and suddenly turned to one side, drawing an arc, as if it was avoiding something.
Lu Li looked towards the direction where the skeleton horse was hiding, and vaguely saw a figure in a white dress standing dozens of meters away.
"It's actually it..."
There was a gasp from behind, and Ruth knew where it came from.
"It is a terrifying hell creature. The body on the ground is its bait, and the real body is hidden underground. Anyone who dares to come close will be devoured in an instant. I heard that even devils and demons dare not approach them.
"
Ruth naturally heard about it from the tavern.
There is more than one of them, it seems like they are everywhere in the Death Wind of Black Calamity Volcano. The higher you go, the more frequent they become.
Next, the skeleton horse kept making a circular arc. During this period, Lu Li and Ruth saw at least a dozen of these weird hellish creatures. In the wind of death that caused the soul to disappear, these figures in white skirts looked like scarecrows.
Standing upright on the scorched earth, horrified and motionless.
In addition to them, there are many beings whose origins even Ruth doesn't know.
Ruth began to lose hope for this journey - she had encountered so many terrifying things before reaching the Great Rift Valley, so how scary would the Great Rift Valley be, where even hell creatures are afraid of it?
At this moment, the skeleton horse beneath him suddenly sped up, and the horse's hoof prints no longer burned.
"What's wrong?" Ruth asked confused.
Lu Li, who was reminded by the skeleton horse, replied: "It told me that there is an evil aura chasing behind me."
