through the dark road

Compared to the unknown secrets under the desert, Mo Bei is now more inclined to find the ancient city of Covus sunken deep in the drowning swamp to find out.

However, the search process was unexpectedly difficult.

At first, he thought that no matter how deep it sank into the ground, he would just try to dig down, but he ignored the terrain here.

Here is a huge drowning swamp, with hundreds of meters of foul-smelling mud and accumulated debris, making the idea of ​​continuing to dig into the hard soil a luxury.

Perona could use the flame tornado to easily burn through the surface of a hundred meters on the gray desert island, but here, at most, it would burn a large swamp to boiling and rolling. Even if the surface layer was evaporated, it could not penetrate deep, and the surface layer was burned. After it dries, there is still fluid underneath. The expected deep well will be filled with mud under huge pressure before it can be formed.

Mo Bei himself could still bravely explore the hard soil under the swamp, but Perona would only cause a stink to the sky. Obviously, this way would not work.

The high temperature was not enough, so Mo Bei could only change his mind and ask Ned to infiltrate the power of frost into the swamp, create a piece of frozen soil and solid ice, and then dig down.

This work is really dirty and tiring. The swamp frozen by the ice soul is as hard as iron. Ordinary digging tools cannot be used at all. It cannot be smashed with brute force, destroying the integrity of the entire frozen soil and digging deep. At any point there is a risk of being crushed by the peripheral quagmire.

The fermentation of humus in the mud will continue to generate heat. It is not easy for Ned to maintain a huge piece of frozen soil. Even if the mud is frozen hard, it will be black and smelly.

Mo Bei didn't want the three girls to do such a tedious job, so he planned to let Alvin act as the coolie. As a result, it was not easy to dig in the bear form, and he had to dig wider to accommodate the fat body, not to mention increasing the workload. The force-bearing surface is also increased, and the human form is not suitable for it, making it more difficult to dig.

He had no choice but to dig in with the Blade of Regret. Only he could put all the dug things in the inventory temporarily, which would save a lot of trouble. .

Seeing that they could not help, the three Lavins had already left and were expected to leave for Lu Gaoyin soon. Akali and the others were not idle either. They continued to fight against Teseris at the edge of the swamp, trying to adapt to the rhythm of fighting against the extraordinary.

The banshee has always been aware of the gap between herself and Setia. When the temptress went crazy, she could make the demon lord who was also a Biels-level shudder and bow his head. In the past, the banshee screamed and wanted revenge on Setia, but instead The more fierce the scream, the weaker the confidence.

The growth rate of demons is too slow. Although they can speed up their growth by devouring and absorbing the origins of other demons, in the strict hierarchical environment of hell, as long as they do this a few times and expose their ambitions, they will soon be will be suppressed.

In order to escape the pursuit of Baal's men, she once fled all the way, but only a very small part of the origin of the demons who died under her could be absorbed by her. That was restricted by the laws of the plane. She wanted to reach the Biles level in this way. , she needs a long period of hard work and incredible luck!

It was for this reason that she would consider cooperating with Mo Bei to escape from the hell plane and plan for it slowly.

When she arrived at the sanctuary, she was pleasantly surprised to find that establishing a soul connection with humans allowed her to absorb all the stolen origins. After tasting the benefits in Baal's hands for the first time, she was determined to take advantage of this.

Isn't it just being a servant of the devil? With the short lifespan of human beings, it won't take long for her to regain her freedom. Although she will still be tainted with a trace of ridiculous human emotions, it allows her to truly see the hope of revenge. Maybe she can go a step further and replace the position of the King of Sin, and even become the true master of the entire hell!

This time, with the help of Neresa's power to break through the extraordinary, she also thought more carefully about her own abilities, peeling off a shadow-like clone from the abyss field, which has considerable destructive power and can perfectly integrate with the abyss field. Quite insidious.

Now she can completely suppress the three Akalis by herself, but Perona's flame is a bit tricky and cannot be contaminated. With quasi-supernatural strength and inexplicable control over the flames from the highest heaven, she was not able to realize her wish of stepping on Perona and torturing her violently, not to mention how unhappy she felt.

Mo Bei has forgotten how long he has been digging. He is an extraordinary and strong man. His whole body looks like a hard worker in a black coal kiln. Under him is a solid layer of peat, which is also frozen hard, locking in moisture and avoiding the outside. Seep.

Looking up, he couldn't see the wellhead. On the one hand, it was far away. When he dug, he couldn't ensure that the well wall was flat and completely vertical. Halfway through digging, he remembered to hang a heavy object with a rope and let gravity guide him. Take detours.

He continued digging for hundreds of meters, and found that the peat was still black and gray. It had the lighting properties of the equipment. He didn't even need a miner's lamp. There were oxygen bottles and masks in the pile of military supplies, which were enough for him to stay here. Breathe freely in a nearly closed environment.

Everything else was fine, except that I was a little hungry. I really had no appetite at all in this kind of environment. After I went up to rest and wash myself, I had to come down and continue digging. I found it troublesome, so I could only endure it and look forward to discovering something next moment.

Feeling depressed in my heart, I sped up my already mechanical movements a bit. I thought it would be troublesome, so I dug for a while and then went up to rest and have a meal. "Crack", the tip of the sword was inserted into the frozen peat, but there was a sound of crushing something brittle and hard.

He raised his brows and picked up a fragment that was cut out from the tip of the sword. It was pitch black and the cross section had the texture of glass.

obsidian?

How could there be such a thing under the swamp?

He dug downwards for a while, and more and more obsidian fragments appeared, and finally, there was a complete rock formation.

The presence of obsidian means that lava once appeared, which is obviously abnormal in terms of such an environment and the depth from the surface.

The broken rock formation under the sword tip was like a container that had been reopened after being sealed for thousands of years. A wave of resentment and rage showed through the obsidian section like a thread, leaving Mo Bei stunned.

As he thought, this obsidian was not naturally generated.

It's Lilith. . .

After drilling through a rock formation more than ten feet thick, a whole piece of obsidian fragment peeled off, revealing the gray-brown rock below.

Flat surface and corners, obvious polishing marks.

Finally something was discovered!

He was refreshed and expanded the scope of his excavation.

A complete row of battlements gradually appeared in front of him, wrapped in obsidian and perfectly preserved.

He originally thought that the swamp swallowed up the city of Covus, but now it seems that Lilith melted the foundation of the entire city and sunk it into the lava. The current Drowning Swamp was actually formed over a long period of time. .

Looking at the leopard through the tube, the grandeur of this ancient building can be seen. The thickness of the battlements is one and a half meters, and the crenellations are higher than the height of a normal person. Only a barbarian with a stature can barely look down through the crenellations.

Demons have various shapes, but high-level demons basically have huge bodies. Angels do not win by their size, and they are generally taller than the first-generation Nephalem born from the combination of the two. In this regard, the barbarians who have guarded the Worldstone Fortress for generations have inherited the physical advantages of the first generation of Nephalem to the greatest extent, while the humans living in other areas of Sanctuary have evolved relatively different abilities due to various reasons. Small body shape.

From an ordinary person's perspective, just the exposed corner of Cous looks like a city of giants.

As Mo Bei continued to dig, a walkway about two feet wide appeared in front of him, with a huge wall on the inside, which matched the shape of the central tower of Covus described by Seafast.

The huge wall extending upward meant that he missed the top of the tower, but as long as he found it, he didn't mind taking the wrong path.

Seafast just estimated the direction based on the vertical and horizontal distance of the coastline. He was able to dig the central tower as expected in the drowning swamp, which was completely unfamiliar to Seafast and had no reference. It was not so much a matter of luck as it was a matter of luck. It is said that the amazing size of this tower greatly increases this probability. (End of chapter)
