The streets of Pluto City were filled with undead of various shapes. They all looked at the red sky in the west, their faces full of panic and fear, and they didn't even notice that Pluto had arrived beside them.
"Pluto, what's the 'Netherworld Volcano' you just mentioned?" Ling Chen said, looking at the western sky. When he first came to Pluto City, he had doubts about the dark red sky in the west. Because he traveled all the way from the east of the underworld.
When he arrived at Pluto City, the sky he saw was all dark, and the color of the sky in the west of Pluto City seemed particularly weird and abnormal. Moreover, the temperature in Pluto City was obviously higher than other places in the underworld he passed. The reason must be
It has something to do with the red color in the west. However, the undead are afraid of fire, so how could there be a place with such a high temperature near Pluto City?
At this time, the sky in the west is no longer dark red, but is showing an astonishing red color, as if it is on fire. And if you look closely, you will be surprised to find that there is a ray of light that can be seen from here.
If you look closely, you will find that the pillar of fire is winding and circling like a giant dragon rising into the sky, and the temperature in Pluto City is also slightly higher than before.
"Well, this is probably also a disaster in the underworld. No matter how you escape, it will eventually come." Pluto looked at the west intently, let out a long sigh, and then told Ling Chen: "Probably...
Thousands of years ago, about four hundred kilometers away from the city of Pluto in the west, there was a sudden explosion that could be heard even by the city of Pluto. I went over to take a look in person and found that a large pit appeared there, and in the pit, there was actually
It’s hot magma that should never appear in the underworld.”
"The undead are afraid of fire. We, the Pluto clan, are also afraid of flames because of the power of death. And under the strong death aura of the underworld, the appearance of magma is very abnormal. But I didn't pay too much attention at the time, thinking that this was the origin.
The unknown magma will gradually disappear as the heat dissipates, and the high temperature there makes me uncomfortable, so I quickly had people seal off the area to prevent the undead from accidentally entering and being injured by the high temperature, and then I stopped paying attention."
"Unexpectedly, instead of disappearing as I expected, the magma was quietly expanding. Ten years later, a fire suddenly burned there. The temperature of the flames was extremely terrifying, covering the surrounding land and mountains.
Melting. After this fire started burning, it never went out, and spread little by little as it burned. From a magma zone that was only a few dozen meters long at the beginning, it has spread to a zone of two hundred meters long today.
The sea of fire, miles long, became the current 'Netherworld Volcano'."
"The undead have a natural fear of fire, and they will be seriously injured when burned by fire. And the fire is by no means an ordinary fire. The temperature is so high that even the Eight Underworld Gods around me can't get close. That's all.
, these fires still cannot be extinguished. Over the years, I have used countless methods to suppress the spreading fire, even using the power of Pluto to suppress it. However, even if it is temporarily suppressed, it will not be long before it starts again at an extremely fast speed.
Spreading. In the end, I had no choice but to let it go. Let one of the eight underworld gods stay close to the Netherworld Volcano and pay attention to the movements of the Netherworld Volcano every day."
"All the undead residents in the west have been evacuated. The flames of the Netherworld Volcano this time are stronger than any other in the past ten thousand years... It seems that Pluto City has to be relocated." Pluto let out a long sigh.
, he said unwillingly: "Although I am Pluto, I am not afraid of the strong people in the world, but I can't fight against this force of nature. It's just that I still can't understand the source of these fires to this day. If I let it continue to develop,
Within ten thousand years, the entire underworld... will no longer have a place for the dead to live."
"So serious?" Ling Chen was surprised. He didn't expect that such a huge crisis was hidden in the mysterious and terrifying underworld of the Forgotten Continent.
Pluto waved his hand at him: "Forget it, these are not your concerns. You should just go ahead and do what you should do. We will naturally find a way to deal with this matter. Pluto City will not move unless it is absolutely necessary.
...If we really get to that point, the worst we can do is open up another underworld!"
Looking at Pluto's frown, Ling Chen knew that "opening up another underworld" was definitely not as easy as he said.
At this time, a touch of uneasy restlessness came from his heart. Ling Chen's mind moved and he said in his heart: "Xi Ling, what's wrong?"
"Master, where are we now?" Xi Ling's voice came from the pet space.
"In Pluto City, we haven't left the underworld yet." Ling Chen replied.
"The underworld... then why..." Xi Ling's voice was full of doubts.
"Did you find anything?" Ling Chen asked.
"...I felt that there seemed to be a voice calling me in the west. My heartbeat suddenly became very fast." Xi Ling said a little confused and uneasy.
"Huh?" Ling Chen looked at the red sky in the west, with a look of surprise on his face, and suddenly asked: "Xi Ling, can you put out fires?"
"Extinguishing?"
"Just...for example, if there is a large sea of fire, can you extinguish this flame by absorbing it or other methods?" Ling Chen said thoughtfully.
"Of course. What I'm best at is controlling the fire element. I can do it whether it's to start a fire or put out a fire." Xi Ling answered affirmatively.
"Okay..." Ling Chen nodded slowly: "Then let's go to the west and see if we can find the person who is calling Xi Ling."
Having made up his mind, Ling Chen then said to Pluto: "Pluto, why don't you let me go to the Netherworld Volcano to have a look. Maybe I can find the source of its appearance?"
"You?" Pluto glanced at him, then waved his hand: "No! You must not go there! You underestimate the Nether Volcano. The fire there is not ordinary fire at all. Even the earth and mountains can melt, even me.
You don’t even dare to get too close, do you want to die if you go there?”
"Don't worry about this." Ling Chen patted his chest: "My body is not afraid of fire. No fire can hurt me yet."
Ling Chen's words were absolutely true. Xi Ling, who had been promoted to the Mysterious God level, gave Ling Chen and all other pets the heaven-defying attribute of being immune to fire damage. This was because Xi Ling's body contained the three great fires of Golden Crow, Phoenix, and Suzaku.
It is the supreme power of fire, and there is no other fire in the world. Flames that can harm Ling Chen under Xi Ling's personal protection simply do not exist in this world. But these words fell into Pluto's ears, and they were immediately regarded as arrogance.
Ignorant, he suddenly cursed: "Fart! Do you think you are the ancient Phoenix and Golden Crow! Are you not afraid of fire at all? Even those three ladies from the Moon God Clan dare not say such big words. Don't think that you have destroyed Chi Xuan."
Wuhen thinks he is invincible, but I don’t even dare to touch your father-in-law’s fire! If you go there, you won’t be burned to ashes in the blink of an eye!”
Ling Chen twisted his lips, simply stopped explaining, called out to Yingxue, rode up, and flew straight north: "Pluto, wait for my good news... If things can't be done, I will stay away immediately
Far away, it won’t hurt your daughter.”
"Hey! Where are you going? Holy shit, are you crazy! Damn... you're really going!"
Yingxue flew so fast that it turned into a white dot in Pluto's eyes in the blink of an eye. Pluto stamped his feet and his beard stood up: "This kid is so lawless! Well... but he has such a heart, which is not bad.
.It can be considered that I did not marry my daughter to him in vain."
…………………………
Lingtian City.
All city gates were closed, all teleportation arrays were closed, and even the resurrection point was forcibly closed. The streets of Lingtian City, which were usually very busy, could not see a single person at this time, and it was as quiet as a dead city.
The atmosphere in the central meeting hall was extremely solemn.
"Miss Li, tell us frankly, how likely is it that we can defend this time?" Fallen Sky frowned and said. They are unable to participate in this city defense battle, and they are not qualified to participate at all. They have the ability to stop Forgotten City.
The only soldiers in the army were elves. And he didn't have much understanding of the power of the elves. But from the heavy expressions on Yun Mengxin and Li Xiaoxue's faces, he could tell that the current situation was extremely unoptimistic.
"There is no certainty... I can only gamble." Li Xiaoxue replied slowly: "Among the elves, there are powerful men like the Qingmu clan, fourteen elves with incredible strength, and one hundred and three elves.
The elves with fairy strength and nearly nine hundred other elves who can fight are also very powerful." At this point, Li Xiaoxue sighed slightly: "If we simply talk about the average strength of elves and humans in the Forgotten Continent,
, humans are far inferior to elves. However, those who can follow the Forgotten Emperor in battle will be the elites of the Forgotten City Army. Those high-level strong men will also have a large number of followers, and maybe there will be Shenxuan level ones.
The comparison between the continent's top masters, human elites, and elves who can fight is extremely unfair. The difference in numbers is even greater."
"Our only hope is that the opponent does not have a powerful person at the Shenxuan level. In that case, we can barely control the battle with the overwhelming strength of the Aoki clan leader, and will not be defeated in a short time. Coupled with the help of the mountain giants, there is still a lot of hope.
It is possible to defend it. But if the other party also dispatches Shenxuan masters to contain the Aoki clan leader..."
Li Xiaoxue did not continue speaking, but everyone understood what she wanted to express... If the other party also had Shenxuan, then there would be almost no possibility of defending Lingtian City.
But even if we cannot hold it, we must not compromise with the Forgotten City. Even if we lose, we must not lose our dignity!
A rapid voice sounded from Li Xiaoxue's intercom. She glanced quickly, frowned, and said solemnly: "They are here."
A minute later, everyone had arrived at the top of the West Gate City, looking at the Forgotten City Army from a distance that was approaching rapidly ten miles away. The Forgotten Emperor had obviously guessed the answer Yunmeng Xinhui would give from the changes in Lingtian City.
, all the 100,000 troops were dispatched, divided into three groups: left, right, and middle, approaching the city gate. Each group had more than 30,000 people, and the attires of each rank and occupation were clearly distinguished.
