Chapter 431 Devil's Palm, Black Flame, Spring Water
"Here...how did it become like this..."
Queen Isa looked at the military fortress surrounded by dark city walls in the distance, and the waves in her beautiful eyes became very complicated.
It is said that the holy land of the elves [Moon Spring] is a place with the most beautiful natural scenery in the world. It is like spring all year round, with bright sunshine, breeze, birdsong, and a sea of flowers.
This was also a small garden frequented by ancient gods. The high elves once wrote poems, sang and danced in this romantic place...
But now, my eyes are filled with darkness and demonic energy is steaming.
Click, click, click...
On the floating island, dark clouds cover the area, thunder snakes surge, and deafening thunder sounds are heard all the time.
Behind the high walls are all kinds of ferocious castles.
"Moon Spring has the divinity of natural power. As long as the spring water does not dry up, there will definitely not be such a situation of demonic pressure. Now it seems that something strange has happened to Moon Spring..."
Queen Isa reflected the dark fortress in her eyes, and a trace of worry appeared on her face.
I haven't been here for hundreds of years, and I didn't expect that such a change would occur in "Moon Spring".
After thinking about it, she said to Raymond: "We will sneak into the city in a while and try not to be exposed before arriving at Moon Spring. There should be top demon masters in the city. Don't let your 'knowledge and color domineering' go outside, otherwise it may
Trigger the battle in advance..."
Raymond nodded and said with a serious face: "Okay."
...
The two armies were fighting, and the demon military fortress of "Moon Spring" seemed busy at the moment.
This place is located between the demon clan's lair "Rosei Volcano" and the elf capital "Senimata". It has a very important strategic position. The demons coming from the lair will gather here and reorganize before rushing to the frontline battlefield.
Raymond and Queen Isa disguised themselves as two low-level orcs and quietly sneaked into the troop transport cabin of a "Black Wind Sailboat". Demigod-level masters cast spells to cover them up, and the orcs with low intelligence could not distinguish them at all.
Two different beings were mixed in. Even the small leader of the Sequence 3 demons on the ship did not notice anything unusual at all.
After getting off the boat, Raymond and the two gathered their breath, mixed with the orcs, and lined up to enter the city.
The 100-meter-high thick city wall gives people a strong sense of oppression, like a black dragon entrenched on the island.
Although the demons' attainments in rune formations are far behind those of the elves with a long tradition, those high-level demons transformed from high-level elven prisoners of war have brought super-powerful knowledge of runes, making up for their shortcomings.
.
The demon clan is a hodgepodge, and they even inherited some special skills and magic that the elves have now discontinued.
Thanks to hundreds of years of uninterrupted painting, this "Moon Spring" fortress has super powerful magic restrictions that are no weaker than the Elf King's capital, and there are solid defensive rune restrictions on the city walls that cannot be broken through by magic artillery.
The guards at the city gate were high-ranking commanders around Sequence 2, and perhaps even higher-ranking ones. Raymond did not dare to explore too far.
The speed of entering the city was not slow, a bit like the security gate he passed through when entering the station in his previous life.
On both sides of the tall city gate, there are several dark red bronze mirrors as tall as a person.
Raymond vaguely felt that there was something wrong with these mirrors, so he communicated with his mental power: "Your Majesty, what is the mirror at the city gate for?"
"That's the [Elf Mirror]. High-level demons use black magic to refine the blood of high-level elves. When you see the elves' blood, you will have a special reaction. Well... to put it simply, it is specially used to
To investigate the elven warriors who have mixed in."
Isa simply responded, and then said: "You come closer to me, I will cast a spell to help you cover it up. If you pass the city gate, it will be much easier later..."
"Um."
Raymond didn't say anything else. Since Queen Isa knew the effectiveness of this mirror, there was no need for him to worry.
Not long after, the two passed by the "demon mirror". The mirror reflected the appearance of two ugly orcs, but it did not trigger any abnormal phenomena.
Raymond breathed a sigh of relief.
At least, the city gate was passed, and the infiltration plan was half successful.
.......
After sneaking into the city, the two quietly separated from the large army and wandered around the city.
The demon city is a bit like a place where pirates gather. There is no orderly scientific research, and the streets and buildings are dirty and messy.
Behind the majestic 100-meter city gate is a honeycomb-like "shantytown", densely packed with no end in sight.
Just pile stones randomly and put a board on it, and you will have a simple house.
The most numerous blacksmith shop in the city, the boilers used to forge patients are constantly emitting black smoke into the sky.
Because there are thunderstorms here all the year round, the streets are filled with black mud mixed with coal ash, and a stench like sewers hangs in the air.
This was the first time that Raymond saw the living area of the demon clan, and he glanced around curiously with his peripheral vision.
Outside the blacksmith shop, those orcs with well-developed limbs were hammering away at the boiler. Red-hot swords, armor, and axes could be forged with just a few hammers...
"Hey...the forging skills of these orcs seem to be quite high."
Raymond casually glanced at the semi-finished weapons scattered in the baskets, and found that most of them were "premium grade", and there were also some "silver grade" equipment.
Queen Isa responded with mental power: "The ancient dwarves betrayed the alliance of five races, and the entire country of dwarves of that line was converted into the first batch of demons. Therefore, some of the demons passed down by blood have inherited the forging
Some dwarves have craftsmanship talents. The weapons and armors they forge are of good quality, and they have brought a lot of trouble to us elven warriors on the battlefield..."
"It turns out it's the inherited dwarf blood. No wonder..."
After hearing the explanation, Raymond also showed a hint of surprise.
Equipment can make up for the lack of rank to a large extent. Demons have an absolute numerical advantage, and with the blessing of sophisticated equipment, they can indeed cause serious trouble to high-level experts.
Raymond followed the maze-like shantytown streets of Isashun Fortress and walked toward the highest point in the city.
The journey went smoothly, and no one among the low-level demons noticed their anomalies. The high-level demons could hide it as much as they could, but those who couldn't were mostly killed by Isha with one move, then gathered their bodies and moved on.
The most numerous demons in the city are low-level orcs. Such creatures with incomplete souls have little sense and are more "instinct".
Therefore, vicious fights caused by bad tempers can be seen everywhere in the city.
In a short period of time, even if the demons find that someone is missing, they will not suspect that someone has infiltrated.
...
Less than half an hour later, the two arrived at the foot of the Black Stone Castle on the top of the mountain.
This is also the place with the strongest demonic aura in the entire fortress, and there is only one solitary castle embedded in the cliff.
And in the sky above the old castle, the dark thunderclouds were as close as they were to the city. From time to time, lightning struck down and disappeared in the small courtyard of the old castle.
At the gate of the castle, there were two blackened dead trees that looked like they had been struck by lightning.
There were several red-eyed crows sitting on the bare branches. When Raymond and the two walked over, their strange red eyes turned around.
Isa raised her hand and waved, and the red-eyed crow froze in place.
She raised her head and looked at the closed door of the castle, with a somewhat complicated expression on her face, "It's strange... there is so much demonic energy in this castle, but I can't sense the aura of any demon clan."
Raymond was also slightly surprised and asked: "Is it possible that a certain magic restriction blocks perception?"
They directly sneaked into the enemy's fortress and reached the final level, but there was no demonic garrison. This was very strange.
Isa shook her head slightly: "No! There is no problem with perception, indeed there is not even a single demon."
Raymond: "Could it be because the demons have set up some magic mechanisms here, so there are no guards?"
Queen Isa looked at the black thunder clouds in the sky, shook her head and said: "This is the 'World-Destroying Thunder Tribulation'. At least demigod-level demons can cause such phenomena in the world. There are no guards in this castle..."
Maybe it’s not necessary at all.”
"Demigod level?"
Raymond's face jumped when he heard this, and he felt a little faint.
Didn’t I say before I came that the demon clan only has one [Terror King] Utamo who can barely be regarded as a powerful demigod?
Isn't that guy on the front line with his twelve demon kings?
But now there is actually another one in the "Moon Spring" fortress?
If he said there was no big boss in this castle, he would definitely not believe it.
But if it is a demigod, it seems that it can explain why it can be hidden from Queen Isa's perception.
But Raymond was also very confused. The battle on the front line was now in full swing. The demons really had a second strong demigod. If they didn't concentrate their fighting power on the elves to fight to the death, what were the cats doing here?
Queen Isa turned her crystal eyes and said again: "Be careful... If you are really a powerful demigod, I may not be able to take care of you if a battle breaks out."
"Um."
Raymond nodded, not feeling timid at all.
We have come this far, and there is obviously no way out.
When we meet on a narrow road, the brave one wins.
"Let's go in."
As she spoke, Queen Isa took out a forbidden scroll that exuded the luster of an "artifact", crushed it into pieces, and reached out to penetrate the black light barrier in front of her.
Raymond followed closely and passed through the jelly-like thick black light restriction, entering a restricted space that was like an ice cave and made people's hair stand on end.
Then, the system prompt rang.
[Ding! Found the ‘pure demonic energy’, should you use the ‘ghost pupil’ to devour it...]
The demonic energy in the air here is as strong as the substance. A casual slash is worth killing hundreds of low-level demons...
He thought about it and endured it.
...
"Moon Spring", as the name suggests, is a spring.
According to the records of the elves, this floating island is lush and full of vitality due to the irrigation of spring water.
But now, they only saw a black waterfall full of evil energy, gurgling down the edge of the cliff of the castle.
The spring of Moon Spring is on the cliff tens of meters high, which is the backyard of the castle.
Just after entering the barrier, Queen Isa seemed to sense something. She glanced towards the waterfall on the cliff and said lightly: "Let's go, it has already discovered us."
"Discovered?"
Raymond held the hilt of the [Ghost Eye] sword in his hand and pursed his lips.
I originally held my breath and concentrated for fear of being discovered by the demons, but I didn't expect that I would be discovered as soon as I came in.
Hearing the "it" in Isa's mouth made him even more shocked.
The more critical the moment, the calmer Raymond felt. The most important thing was that he felt that the beautiful back in front of him gave him a complete sense of security.
The figure flashed, and after a breath, the two jumped up the cliff.
When they landed on the edge of the cliff and looked down upon the surrounding scenery, Raymond's pupils shrank suddenly, and at the same time the hair on his back stood up, like a cheetah with exploding fur.
The "Moon Spring" in front of us is about thirty meters in diameter.
It is as round as the bright moon in the sky, the water in the spring flows gurglingly, the lightning flashes in the sky, and the water surface reflects a dazzling luster like mercury.
Taking a closer look, it was crystal clear again, and we could clearly see the stirring spring at the bottom of the pool and a stone platform that looked like a bed of cold jade.
That stone platform is probably the legendary [Hanyue Sacred Platform].
And this clear moonlight cold spring flows to the edge of the cliff and becomes a black ink spring. The root cause is the five or six meter high broken palm floating on the spring!
"Is this severed hand the demigod monster?"
Raymond looked at the corners of his eyes and twitched sharply.
He has seen many strange monsters in the world of navigation, but this is the first time he has seen such a mind-numbing monster.
The severed hand in front of me is steaming with demonic energy. There is a big wheel-like eye in the palm, which is full of scarlet bloodshot eyes. It looks very scary. It looks like the hand cut off from some huge creature. The nails are sharp and there is a trace of blood flowing from the broken part.
It is a black liquid like asphalt.
It is this black liquid that flows into the "Moon Spring" that dyes the spring water into an ink spring.
It is obviously a limb, but the system shows that it is an independent monster!
When Raymond and the two jumped onto the cliff, the big eye in his palm also turned around and stared at them.
【The Lord of the Devil's Palm (Epic)】
???
Detailed explanation: The super-level demon king is super powerful; if you are crushed by the level, you will not be able to find out more information;
And...the vision doesn’t stop there!
What surprised Raymond even more was not only the monster with a severed hand, but also the black flame floating in the void!
This black flame seemed to be extremely hot, and the void around it was burned and distorted, with faint signs of collapse.
The cut-off-hand monster seemed to be holding a ball, holding the floating black flame. Black threads were running around the black flame. It was slightly fearful, but it seemed like it was "sacrifice"?
"This is... [Demon Power]?"
Raymond looked at the black lights swirling around the black flames. While frightened, a flash of unexpected joy flashed in his eyes.
If the distance is close enough, the system may have prompted you.
A crazy thought came to his mind instinctively: "If these are stripped away, wouldn't I be able to understand the three secrets immediately?"
As for the black flame, the system shows that it has a great background.
[Void Demonic Flame (Myth)]
Detailed explanation: Demonic flames containing high-level fire laws; a ray of original demonic flames from the ancient demon god ‘Fire Demon Gesos’;
"The original fire of the devil? A high-level law, a mythical special item..."
Even though the situation was extremely critical, when Raymond looked at the flames, he still couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
There are only a few words in the detailed explanation of the system, but every word reveals the extraordinary origin of this flame, which is absolutely the first-class existence of the ultimate treasure!
Taking this trip is extremely risky!
But crises and risks coexist. If Queen Isa can win, the benefits will be absolutely incredible!
Thinking of this, Raymond immediately conveyed the information he had obtained to Isa.
From the current point of view, the boss didn't let him escape at the first time, so he obviously had a slight chance of winning.
Hearing Raymond tell the origin of the black flame, Isa immediately realized something and responded: "It seems... this devil wants to use the power of the 'Moon Spring' to refine the black fire, thereby destroying the 'moon'
Quan's mirror space. It turns out that they not only want to destroy us elves, but also secretly want to destroy this sealed secret realm... escape!"
When Raymond heard this, he understood immediately.
No wonder there is a demigod demon hidden here. Was this the original idea?
Once the secret realm is destroyed, even if the elves cannot be killed, the demons will be able to wreak havoc in the human world...
At this time, Queen Isa said urgently: "Lemon, you jump into the Moon Spring first. The magical power of the spring water can suppress the evil energy, and it cannot hurt you for the time being. Even if I die here today, I will definitely kill you."
Kill this demon king here!"
"???"
Damn it, that’s not what the script is like!
Raymond thought she was sure of defeating the "Demon Lord of the Broken Palm", that's why she acted so calmly and calmly.
It turns out...she was planning to fight to the death as soon as they met?
At this time, Isa's words came again, "I forgot to tell you... Every generation of elf kings never dies. The elf king's fate is to die in battle! This demon king has never appeared in the intelligence, and his strength is
Unknown, there will be real danger soon, I will help you create opportunities to escape..."
"..."
Raymond rolled his eyes.
The Elf Emperor is actually a high-risk job with 100% death rate?
Hiding?
escape?
Not a good choice now.
"Eh..."
Raymond exhaled slightly, glanced sideways, and said in a deep voice: "Wait a minute! That [Devil Power] has a great influence on the 'evil spirit' in your body. You help me create opportunities. I will take that thing out first."
