Chapter 405 (1/2)
The dark red, barren land was littered with huge, eerie black rocks. The twisted scorched plants grew sparsely in the crevices of the rock. Lava flowed through the mountains, and the poisonous vapors were gushing from the cracks and holes in the earth. Red clouds were tumbling in the sky and the thunders were rumbling, looked frightening as if the endless sea of fire was hanging in the sky. And in this hellish sight, all sorts of low-level demons wandered aimlessly in the wilderness and were getting into fights for no reasons. They were the kind of chaotic monsters that were even lower than the lowest-order demon warriors. They were the ephemeral creatures that were born directly from this chaotic space, and they almost had no senses and were completely controlled by brutal impulses. If they survived in combat, they would have a chance to promote into a higher-order demon. But most of these lower-order demons would soon die and become part of the energy cycle of this space.
This was the space where demons lived–the challenge of survival, but those manic, grumpy creatures were willing to live like this.
Petrachelys was covered by dirty clouds in the sky, darting through the sky, dodging a swarm of low-level demons wandering in the red wilderness. The radar system detected a huge deep pit in the plains and there were almost no demons wandering around the pit. So they landed there.
When everybody came out of the ship, Hao Ren put the Petrachelys back into the dimensional pocket, and then all of them took a deep breath at the same time to feel the atmosphere of the Demonic Plane.
Lily immediately jumped up. Due to her sensitive nose, she was quickly choked by the strong sulfur fumes in the air. She was holding Hao Ren’s arm and jumping up and down crazily and said, “I’m dying… I’m going to choke to death…”
And Nangong Wuyue’s health point was kept dropping. The siren’s eyes were glowing in green. She was gasping for air and said, “I’m really dying… This place is so dry… Water… Where’s the water?”
“Water is a rare thing in the Demonic Plane, and it’s quite useless for us, and I’m the only one who built the city near the water source to look after the other races,” Y’zaks said and looked at the two ladies who looked suffered, “If you can’t stand the environment here, you can…”
“Forget it, I still endure it.” Nangong Wuyue could finally breathe. She waved her hands, tried to squeeze a little water from the air to form a protective enchantment but sighed and said, “It’s more difficult than squeezing water in the desert… Can’t believe you guys can live in a place like this.”
Lanina did not think the environment was bad. She still took a deep breath comfortably, smiled and said, “The smell of my homeland… I haven’t come back for a long time. I really miss the sulfur smell of this place.”
Hao Ren looked back and found the huge plume of smoke was still striking. It looked like supporting the sky and connecting heaven and earth. The huge plume of smoke was so smooth and straight that it was almost impossible to see that it was actually formed by gas at this distance, only the vaguely visible lines that kept rolling over and over on the surface of the plume of smoke could prove that it was not an object. He was amazed at the scenes in the Demonic Plane, and the smoke plume was one of the most amazing scenes. “What is that?”
“The Helm smoke pillar, under it, is the Helm crater, also called the Great Pit,” Y’zaks said with a solemn expression, “The diameter of this smoke pillar is more than 200 kilometers, the crater below it is one of the most magical things in the Demonic Plane. There was a huge hole in the crater that nobody knows where it leads to. It is said that even the most powerful demon could not reach the bottom of the Great Pit. For tens of thousands of years, the crater has been spewing out the smoke pillar. But when the smoke pillar rises high, it disappears into a space crack and nobody knows where it goes.”
“You’ve got all the weird stuff here,” Hao Ren said. He was amazed.
Y’zaks nodded solemnly and said, “Yes. The Demonic Plane is the most unstable form of space vesicles, there will be a lot of unnatural landscape. By the way, it’s better to stay away from the smoke pillar. Without the protection of the spacecraft, the average person will die. The temperature in the smoke pillar is very high, and air mass of thousands degree will suddenly burst from the crater. Smoke and dust is highly toxic and is mixed with the neurotoxin that will make demons lose control.”
“The smoke pillar is the arsenal of Serathon’s Legion,” Lanina explained, “Serathon, the demon king has a plague corps. They use highly toxic and neurotoxin in combat. Their weapons are created under the smoke pillar. Thanks to the smoke pillar, the old mad man is one of the most powerful demons and king’s most dreaded adversary. ”
