The cold and dark passage was filled with dead black venom. Ding Meng and his party quickly found the expedition team. However, except for Fang Yihui, no member of the expedition team was alive. This group of young men and women were embedded in the walls.
Inside, they had lost their vitality, and the pus wrapped around them, as if corroding their corpses, but more like sucking their bodies.
Especially for Leah and Torre, their death conditions were extremely horrific. Their skin seemed to have been peeled off, and there were large and small holes in many places.
"This is a sacrifice!" Xianyuan said solemnly.
The sacrifices of the Devouring World not only contribute the power of the human race's energy users, but the venom also swallows the human race's memory and knowledge. After all, the demon race is also a race that is good at learning and evolving.
On one side of the passage, Fang Yihui was sitting with his back against the wall, panting. He was obviously seriously injured and his breath was already quite weak.
Ding Meng stepped forward and injected a small amount of energy into him, so that he could raise his head and speak, and the first words he spoke were: "Run away, run away quickly——"
Ding Meng frowned.
Fang Yihui explained: "Brother Ding, run!"
Ding Meng said: "Are the sect masters from the Devouring World inside?"
Fang Yihui's expression was very disappointed: "We have all been deceived. I was deceived by people from my sect, and I was also deceived by the official people. They asked us to come here because they sent us to die. The things inside are definitely not human."
Stoppable.”
It was difficult for everyone to understand these words. Ding Meng comforted him and said: "Brother Fang, what exactly did you find?"
Fang Yihui suddenly showed a fearful expression: "I don't know, we don't know what it is at all. Brother Ding, it's still too late to run away. The ground coordinates are 54a, 54b, 2133. There is a Cangliu detection ship parked 3,000 kilometers away from here.
, you can return to the Federation by taking it, hurry up..."
Ding Meng pondered and said: "Brother Fang, please be patient, I will take you out after I go in."
At the end of the passage was a cave entrance. After walking out of the cave entrance, everyone found themselves in a huge super cave. The size of this cave could be said to be no less than that of a starship. Then Ding Meng finally understood why he had
It was a familiar feeling, because although it was his first time visiting this place, it was not the first time he had seen it.
In the last round of the Xinghui Examination, the map named "Purgatory Furnace" was exactly the same as the one before him.
Eight 20-meter-wide paths paved with black liquid toxin form a meter-shaped super bridge. Looking down from the gaps is an endless dark abyss, and around the cave are faintly formed three-layer circular passages, upper, middle and lower.
, the location where Ding Meng and others are located is a small hole dug by the expedition team on the wall on the south side of the three-story ring road.
In the center of the super bridge is a huge circular pool with crystal clear water. In the center of the pool stands a strange twisted tree stump. There is a flickering bright spot on the top of the stump, shining with white light.
What else could this place be if it weren't "The Furnace of Purgatory"? It's just that last time it was a virtual space simulated by the Kejia server for you, but this time it is a real center of the Devouring World, and its scale is dozens of times larger.
In fact, this cave is similar to the energy crystal space in the Wochu galaxy. The treasures in the center are surrounded by bridges. The energy crystals are clustered on the Poison Dragon Star. The mysterious tree in the center of the Dark Night Abyss is enshrined.
At this moment, Ding Meng suddenly remembered many things. The Xinghui exam he took was more than ten years ago. The "Purgatory Furnace" map was designed by Feng Chen, a visiting professor at Xinghui University, but Feng Chen also had another
In another identity, he is also the senior data master of Xinghong Group.
At that time, Feng Chen and Du Peixing's explanation was that "Purgatory Furnace" was inferred based on the Linda series riots, and it was indeed the border terrain of the Devouring World.
The problem is here, this place is not a junction, why are there exactly the same terrain? It is certain that Feng Chen is lying. They may not have been here, but they definitely know its existence. What is the connection between the two?
, what secrets are hidden here? In other words, this is also a very important part of Xinghong Group's new energy plan?
Ding Meng found that it was not easy to connect these messages together, so he sent all the messages to everyone.
The girls were also surprised, but Jun Ling pursed his lips at Ding Meng: "Look below."
Ding Meng took two steps forward and looked down carefully. Only then did he realize that there were people on the ring road on the first floor of the bridge on the west side. However, the height was too high. It was difficult for the people below to see clearly with the naked eye. They were like ants.
Still young.
There were not many people at the bridge, a total of twelve people. Judging by their physical features and attire, they were masters of the predator world, at least above the level of the sect leader. The auras of four of them were far stronger and more blazing than the sect leader.
Ding Meng roughly judged that this should be the place where the leaders of the four families of Sanctuary, Lingshan, Fairyland, and Demon Shadow gathered.
"You guessed it right." Xianyuan spoke again, "Duyun from the Sanctuary, Bai Laishan from Lingshan, Qingye from Xianzong, and Demon Shadow's wife are all here, and the rest are their followers.
, the followers are all the sect master.”
Ding Meng opened his mind and saw that Du Yun from the Holy Realm was also a woman. Her appearance was similar to that of Xianyuan Lengyin. She was almost carved from the same mold, but the overall image looked younger than Xianyuan;
Bai Laishan of Lingshan is slightly better. He looks like a normal human being, but he is covered in various metal pendants, like a shrewd jewelry merchant;
Qingye in the Wizard's Land is relatively shabby. It's impossible to tell whether this person is a boy or a girl. He is like a tree man bred by nature. His skin is like tree bark, extremely green. He looks like a human, but more like
Some kind of poisonous plant.
The last son of the Demonic Shadow Family, it is purely a humanoid black mist floating in the air, with only a face left. It is extremely weird and terrifying.
Ding Meng pondered and said: "Is the central pool a holy lake?"
Xianyuan said: "That's right!"
Ding Meng said: "Is it necessary to make sacrifices to grow the magical shadow tree?"
Xianyuan sighed: "It is true that a sacrifice is needed, but it is not known whether the thing in the holy lake is the magic shadow tree."
Ding Meng said: "Why?"
Xianyuan explained: "The Holy Lake can usually breed all kinds of heavenly materials and earthly treasures, including the Demonic Shadow Tree. However, this place is so secret that it attracted four heads of people to be present at the same time. Is it the Demonic Shadow Tree?
It’s hard to say…”
Ding Meng also recalled his Starlight Exam. When the Holy Lake was activated and the strange tree reappeared, the exam ended the moment he stretched out his hand. It was obvious that even Feng Chen, the designer, did not know what would eventually come out of the Holy Lake.
.
But now the mysterious aura can be explained. It is emanating from the light spots in the central holy lake.
At this moment, the four groups of people below seemed to be discussing something, and all of them had cold faces. Bai Laishan also seemed to be silent, but Qingye and Li Zizi were the only ones who were very active.
"I didn't expect that after decades of searching, I actually found it here." The person who spoke was a woman, and the accurate description was that the black mist with human faces in the mid-air was making a sound.
Qingye sighed: "Yes, thanks to this group of human scientists using such primitive methods, with the exploration of the source energy users and the perception of our monster race, it is estimated that they will not be able to find it here for thousands of years."
The wife chuckled: "Don't worry, I have entertained them well."
Qingye sighed: "But those human races are too weak, and their strength is not enough to support the energy of sacrificing the holy lake."
When he said this, his eyes fell on Na Duyun. Duyun was originally very cold, but he was annoyed by his gaze: "What? Are you going to sacrifice your disciples and grandchildren to replenish the sacrificial energy?"
These things have always been done in the Devouring World, but everyone is the leader of the same faction, and some words cannot be said clearly from their own mouths.
Qingye smiled sadly: "Master Du Yun, your holy realm has reached such a state now. It is already a great blessing for you to come to Yanxing Palace."
Ding Meng listened carefully, and it turned out that this was not some purgatory furnace, but the palace of the demon clan.
Du Yun's face became even more ugly: "Master Qingye, do you mean to ask me, the Holy Land, to contribute to the sacrifice first?"
"Ahem, that's not what I meant." Qingye was a little embarrassed, "Now that everyone has found this place, what we have to do now is to find a way to sacrifice the holy lake and pass through the Eight Immortal Bridges. If the Immortal Bridge is not allowed to pass, this
If this is such a good fortune, no one will be able to share in it."
Du Yun said coldly: "It's okay if you want me to make a contribution to the Holy Domain first. Then I ask you, once the Immortal Bridge is opened, who will distribute the heavenly materials and earthly treasures bred by the Holy Lake?"
"Yes!" Bai Laishan, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke, "If I, Lingshan, make the contribution first, should I be the first to select the natural materials and treasures?"
"This..." Qingye felt embarrassed again, but you two guys climbed up along the pole.
In fact, he also knows that many members of the Sanctuary clan have fallen over the years, and they have long lost their glory a hundred years ago. The main reason for this is the death of Queen Xianyuan on Qianfan Star.
However, Xianyuan had always been on good terms with Bai Laishan during his lifetime, and the Lingshan clan could not be underestimated. Bai Laishan had always taken care of the Sanctuary clan, so Qingye did not dare to ask for too much.
However, the Demonic Shadow Family of the Queen has grown in power and strength in recent years. Many major events in the Devouring World are decided by the Lady, so Qingye can only turn his attention to the Lady.
The young lady suddenly let out a creepy laugh: "Hey, hey, hey, three colleagues, please don't worry, how can the sacrifice ceremony of our demon clan's royal palace sacrifice the descendants of my clan's disciples?"
Du Yun stared at him suspiciously: "Is it possible that Mr. Prince wants to go to the Holy Glory Federation to capture some source masters alive for sacrifice?"
The lady smiled and said: "It's not that troublesome. Human race experts have already sent it to our door. Today is such a favorable time and place."
Everyone was shocked when they heard this. Even Jun Ling almost thought that his side had been exposed. Unexpectedly, Ding Meng was shaking his head. This is impossible. The Immortal Yuan Dream is always open, even if he speaks loudly on it.
No matter what you say, it's impossible for the people below to hear you.
Eisendale suddenly pointed to the second-floor ring to the north and said: "I saw it, over there!"
