Ordinary fantasy adventure in Faerûn

Chapter 578: Abyss 422

"Looks like we're in the right place."

Lulu flapped her wings and chirped softly, confirming Noshir's words, and Noshir simply carried [Mata Lotok] on his shoulder and began to look around, trying to find his hunting target.

[Death Valley] is a vast and deep canyon. Various rugged rocks are dotted in every corner of the valley like the fangs of wild beasts. The skeletons of various prey almost cover the entire surface of the valley, and the interior of the valley is full of rusty spikes that are obviously formed by supernatural forces.

These spikes are either large or small, some are as big as mountains, some are as small as trees, some exist alone, and some are twisted and condensed together, like a bunch of blooming spiked iron flowers. If you can ignore the rust and black blood on them, as well as the various rotten bones hanging on them, these things are worth appreciating. But unfortunately,
Almost all the spikes close to the surface were already pierced with various half-eaten prey by the gnolls, including various demons, eliminated descendants of Yeenoghu, and even various humanoid creatures or beasts that only existed in the main material plane.

[Death Valley] is Yenogu's main activity area. This evil beast has placed its lair here, so this area is also infected by his power. Under the influence of [bloodthirsty evil beast], all creatures here must rely on hunting to survive. Most of the residents in [Yenogu's Domain] are gnolls, hyenas and ghouls, but in this land, even plants have to actively trap prey in order to take root in the blood.

Those strange iron spikes also come from Yeenoghu's authority. In this land that belongs to him, this "bloodthirsty beast" can create these vicious things on the surface at will. At the same time, Yeenoghu's servants must also satisfy their master's hunger. When their master hunts in his kingdom, these loyal servants will search for prey from the material plane and release it into this plane for the king of gnolls to play and enjoy. This is also the reason why the corpses of those from the outer planes exist.

Noshir took in the surrounding environment, and his mind also emerged with the detailed information about the various levels of the Abyss that he had exchanged in the panel before coming here, as well as the detailed information about Yeenoghu's abilities from Gargaus, Mizorah, and Ledros.

As demons that have fought against these demon lords for countless centuries, these guys have collected the unique skills of almost every demon lord that appeared on the bloody battlefield in their clever little heads. In order to better deal with these powerful chaos monsters, almost every high-level demon has detailed information about those common demon lords in his mind.

It was precisely with this information that Noshil was so confident that he could defeat Yenogu that he even dared to set the teleportation coordinates directly in the Death Canyon. He wanted to win quickly, but standing on the cliff of the canyon, Noshil had not yet found the target he had expected. But just as he continued to search with his extraordinary eyesight, a naturally flowing breeze suddenly blew a wisp of gas from below into the hillside, which was just right for Noshil's extremely sensitive nose to smell.

"This smell - Ugh! It's disgusting! This damn place really stinks to the bone! I remember that the wolf people have very good noses. They can still stand staying in this environment all day long."

The stench that was swept up by the wind came from the bottom of the Death Canyon, from the rotting corpses that had accumulated for who knows how many years, and the smell was so strong that it was deadly.

Noshier almost vomited at the slightest odor, and Lulu was even worse. As a celestial being, she was not accustomed to the environment of the Abyss, where negative energy was concentrated. When the stench hit her, she almost wanted to tie a knot around her nose to prevent the stench from harming her nose.

"Wait a moment."

Noshir stopped Lulu and temporarily stopped her extreme behavior. Then he used some magic tricks to condense a small layer of magic veil in front of himself and Lulu, blocking the ubiquitous stench. "The natural gas in this damn place is almost as strong as the three-ring stinking cloud spell. If ordinary mortals come here, they will almost certainly die. Even experienced warriors find it difficult to fight in this environment without preparation... How do you feel now? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Noshir muttered to himself about the toxic gases for a while, then turned to Lulu and asked with concern. This little girl had just recovered her memory this morning. Although her strength had gradually recovered as her memory was unlocked, she was brought to a hellhole like the Abyss just when she had improved. No matter what, this behavior was not very friendly to Lulu.

Hearing those concerned greetings, Lulu also breathed a sigh of relief and then spoke to Noshir.

"I-I'm fine, but this place..."

Noshir reached out and patted Lulu's head. Even though the little girl had personally experienced the Hell War and witnessed a battlefield that was like a meat grinder, it did not mean that she would be able to adapt to such a harsh and cruel environment.

Every extra second Lulu stayed in this damn place was an extra second of punishment. Noshir felt sorry for the little girl. In order to prevent her from suffering more, it seemed that he could only speed up.

"Be patient for a while, little one. Just wait here for me. If you encounter any danger, solve it if you can. If you encounter a difficult target, try to retreat. If you encounter something you cannot defeat... Although you probably won't encounter it, if you do, use the blasting horn to remind me, and I will be back soon."

Noshir withdrew his hand, and before Lulu could make any further reaction, he jumped off the cliff carrying [Mata Lotok].

Seeing this, Lulu first stood there in a daze for a while, as if she had not yet fully reacted. Then, the moment she reacted, she quickly flew to the edge of the cliff and looked down, wanting to see if she could help.

The short time Lulu had spent staying in the Wanyuan Plain had already allowed her to witness Noshir's strength, which gave her greater confidence in Noshir, so she did not intend to disobey Noshir's orders. Now she flew to the edge of the cliff just to see if she had any chance to help him, even though her own strength had not yet fully recovered.

But Lulu had just peeked out from the cliff, and she saw in her little eyes that Noshier slammed the ground into the canyon. In an instant, accompanied by a heavy roar, an endless frost storm rose from the ground and spread rapidly towards the depths of the Death Canyon!
"Here to pick up the guests! Stupid dog!!!"
