The base of the chess piece seems to be carved with an ancient book, with mottled scratches like time.
"You know it?"
"I heard that the old devil in the tavern said it." Ruth stared at the chess piece. "A strange thing was circulated in the world not long ago. It has incredible and incomprehensible power. The chess pieces have different powers, and some can grant the chess piece to the player.
Some have strange abilities, some bring terrifying curses, and some summon weird and terrifying existences."
"'It can make the weakest hungry demon stand on the top of hell, and can also make the most powerful demon turn into dust. A gadget that brings luck and misfortune, opportunity and crisis at the same time.' That's what it said at the time." Lu.
Si imitated the tone of the humanoid demon and said.
"What is this one called?" Lu Li observed the chess piece and felt that it seemed to be related to some kind of knowledge——
Some illusory arms appeared, gently pushing Lu Li, bringing him closer to the skeleton of the Devil's Son, or the Evil Spirit Chess.
"How could I possibly know...don't touch strange things!"
When Ruth screamed, Lu Li, who chose to believe in the remnant soul, had already passed through the devil's son's bones and touched the chess piece.
"Doomsday Apocalypse." Lu Li murmured.
"How do you know?" Ruth stared at Lu Li's face in surprise, observing whether he was still him.
Ruth did notice a change in Lu Li - his soul was nearly twice as powerful as before. She thought that Lu Li's body had been taken away by the son of the devil, but there was one thing that made her strange. Lu Li did not exude the same evil as the devil.
"Touch it so all the information appears in your head." Lu Li held the Evil Spirit Chess and retracted his palm.
The bones of the Son of the Devil have never been revived. If it were in the outside world, it might not have died due to its powerful power. But in the abyss of sin, it is impossible to survive all the sins committed.
"So you know what its power is?"
Lu Li nodded: "After the doomsday comes, holding the Doomsday Apocalypse Book will double the power of all abilities."
Physique, perception, sanity, soul, everything is within its enhancement range, and there will be no negative effects.
A strange thing that cannot be understood by common sense.
It's like... not a creation of this world.
Clenching his fists, Lu Li couldn't feel the changes in his body and mind, but his soul. However, his perception and soul were indeed enhanced——
His senses were like tentacles, floating far into the darkness at the bottom of the valley beyond the reach of his eyes.
Silent, active.
"No wonder the son of the devil seems to be even more arrogant than the devil." Ruth suddenly realized something: "Wait, the end of the world...?"
"That's why I can't come back to earth."
Lu Li once guessed the reason why he couldn't go back: he was being targeted by something unspeakable, something happened above and his path was blocked.
Now it seems to be the latter.
And the accident was far more terrifying and desperate than I imagined.
It may even be that your body has died, so you can't go back.
If Ruth knew what Lu Li was thinking, she might have ridiculed him on the surface, but actually gave him a few words of comfort. However, his face was calm from beginning to end.
Misseliya's skull was too huge, so Lu Li only picked up the arm-length bones at the end of the skull and carried them with him, and hid them when he returned to the ground.
The Evil Spirit Chess was put into the inner pocket. It was Lu Li's luck to get it, but despite its strange power, Lu Li had no intention of looking for other chess pieces.
As the human-shaped demon said, the chess pieces obtained may not bring power, but may also bring death.
Passing around their skeletons, Lu Li and Ruth continued to move forward.
Quietness and tranquility lingered at the bottom of the valley, and Ruth felt this for the first time in a long time, and felt something.
Half an hour later, they passed through a large rift valley several miles wide and arrived at the foot of the rock wall.
After walking along the rock wall for some distance, a path leading to the ground appears in front of you.
As they set foot on the path, the valley floor became farther and farther away from them, until they were covered in darkness together with Whitley, Miselia, and the Devil's Son.
The light gradually became brighter, and the omnipresent heat of hell enveloped them again. The moment they stepped on the ground, Ruth thought that she could live in the Great Rift Valley in the future. It would be safe there, and it would give her the same feeling as a human being.
Then she shook her head slightly again.
Forget it. The valley bottom is dark and quiet, that would be too lonely...
Lu Li looked into the distance and reached the back of the mountain. The Black Calamity Volcano was still as vast as a mountain range.
The doubled sense of perception vaguely reminded Lu Li that some dangers were approaching. Fortunately, they were far away from here.
Withdrawing his gaze, Lu Li walked to a patch of gravel, dug two shallow pits, placed the bones of Whitley and Michelle Lea in them, and sprinkled them with sand.
"Life fades like a flower, but it also blooms like a flower..."
Ruth's whispered prayer came from behind.
"Our destiny has already been arranged, from birth to death... We come from the earth... and go back to the earth... This is the fate of life."
"The end does not mean the end... Everything about you will be remembered and passed down. The body will decay with time, but the spirit is immortal..."
"I, Joanna, wish that Oliver's soul ascends to heaven without pain..."
"May the souls of the dead live in peace forever..."
After waiting silently for Ruth to finish praying, Lu Li and her started on their way, approaching the approximate location where "Watch Town" should be.
The traceless red land is like the Gobi Desert, and the distorted high temperature makes the distance blurry.
There are no objects related to "channels".
"Not really..." Ruth looked around uneasily, as if she was haunted by a nightmare.
A palm fell on her shoulder.
"Calm down." Lu Li looked at the cloth covering her eyes: "A town on earth may be dozens of miles across in hell, and it won't appear conspicuously on the ground."
Otherwise, Watchtown would have been overrun by hellish creatures.
"How can you be so calm!" Ruth couldn't understand that the person involved was calmer than herself.
"Panicing won't solve the problem." Lu Li walked away. "Perceive carefully. If the passage exists, it will be on this land."
Ruth hesitated in place for a long time, then quickly followed Lu Li's back.
Everywhere in this vast Gobi desert looks the same. If it weren't for the Black Calamity Volcano behind them, they would have lost their way.
Some hungry demons were attracted by Lu Li's more vigorous soul and coveted the edge, not daring to get close.
In addition to the Hungry Demon, there is also a low-level demon called the Tongueless Demon by Ruth. Its appearance is like a humanoid spider with only four limbs, and only the base of the tongue is left in its mouth.
They were scouts for higher-level demons. When she saw them, Ruth took out her gun and killed them without hesitation.
Perhaps it was luck, not far from where the Tongueless Demon fell, a long rock was inserted diagonally into the Gobi.
It was a tombstone with illegible words scrawled on it.
【Tomb of Hades】
Ying Ting's eyebrows, which were always frowning, relaxed slightly.
It seems that the rumors are true and he can go back.
