From the Abyss Invasion to the Blasting Star.

Chapter 234 The Secret of Black Stone City

In Blackrock City.

Lu Heng walked out of the Blood Sacrifice Tower and prepared to find a way to leave Black Stone City.

That's when.

The blood-born female demon came out with a group of blood-born demons to block the front, raised her hand and pointed, and ordered: "Capture him!"

Lu Heng still has the appearance of a blood demon, but his plan to enter the blood sacrifice tower must have been discovered.

According to the strict ranking system of blood demons, low-level blood demons are indeed not qualified to enter the Blood Sacrifice Tower.

Lu Heng turned and ran, ready to use Shadow Walk to escape the pursuit.

The Blood Banshee raised her arms and called upon the power of the ancestor upwards: "Seal the ancestor!"

buzzing...

The blood sacrifice tower began to vibrate, and spider-web-like lines of blood clan energy extended from the ground.

This forbidden energy of the Bloodline Ancestor spread across the ground and walls of Black Rock City in the blink of an eye.

When Lu Heng saw this scene, he couldn't help but be shocked.

This Black Stone City actually possesses the power bestowed by the Bloodline Ancestor.

No wonder I was discovered just now.

When Lu Heng saw the statue of the blood ancestor in the blood sacrifice tower, he originally thought it was just a statue.

It now seems that this statue has been blessed by the Bloodline Ancestor and possesses some of the Bloodline Ancestor's power.

Just now, the blood banshee Sarain was calling on the power of the blood ancestor, spreading the ancestor's seal through the blood sacrifice tower, covering the entire Black Rock City.

Shadow walking can be immune to physical collision, but the blood ancestor's sealing power is obviously not a physical force.

Therefore, Shadow Travel cannot break through the seal of the Bloodline Ancestor.

Lu Heng couldn't help but stare. In this situation, it was impossible to get out by passing through the wall through the shadows. He could only go out through the main door or other secret passages.

However, after the cry of the blood banshee Sarain spread, the entire Blackrock City was awakened.

Countless blood demons rushed over from all directions.

Lu Heng swung his sword and killed a few of them, but he could not kill them all.

If he was held back and waited for the blood banshee Sarain to arrive, and with the power of the blood ancestor, he would be subjected to several mental attacks from her, and would probably die here.

Lu Heng did not dare to delay and ran forward as fast as he could, like a flash of lightning flying across the ground, rushing towards the gate of Black Stone City.

When we arrived at Blackstone Square, we suddenly saw the blood demon on the city gate turning the winch and pulling up the drawbridge.

Followed by a muffled "bang".

The gates of Blackrock City were completely closed, and the Bloodline Ancestor's seal was placed on the gates.

When Lu Heng saw this scene, his eyes fixed and he immediately turned around and rushed towards the most complicated old city area in Black Stone City.

He quickly recalled the structure of the Black Rock City sandbox in his mind, looking for a secret passage to escape.

However, when they ran to the old city to look for the secret passage, they discovered that the secret passage Darkwell had mentioned had been sealed off at some point.

The situation suddenly reached a deadlock.

A pair of blood wings grew on the back of the blood-born banshee Sarain. She flew in the air, continuing to call on the power of the blood-born ancestor and sending down blood-red lightning in the direction of Lu Heng.

Lu Heng continued to travel through Black Rock City, recalling every passage on the Black Rock City sandbox, and temporarily shook off the pursuit of the blood demon.

Just when Lu Heng was thinking about how to get out.

A voice came from behind: "If you don't want to die, follow me."

Lu Heng turned back alertly and raised his sword in a defensive move: "Who are you?"

The man was wearing a cloak and had black hair and black eyes. He looked to be in his twenties, with his hair cut into a buzz cut and bright eyes.

The man replied in Daxia: "The conscripted, Daxia people, you can call me Xie Shien. Salain is calling on the power of the bloodline ancestor. We must leave here immediately. Follow me."

He spoke in authentic Daxia dialect, which made Lu Heng less wary. After a little thought, he followed him and moved along the lava riverbed.

Xie Shien ran all the way along the lava riverbed. When he reached the lava abyss, he looked back at Lu Heng and said, "If you want to get out, jump with me. If you are scared, you can figure it out on your own."

He said as he leapt into the lava abyss.

There was a flash of surprise in Lu Heng's eyes, and he leaned over to take a look at the lava abyss below.

The lava abyss is three hundred meters deep. The magma of the lava river flows down, forming a red waterfall, which is extremely spectacular.

Lu Heng looked behind him and saw the bloody banshee Salein chasing him from the air.

It is not easy to find other exits now, and Lu Heng is not that afraid of magma.

Lu Heng didn't hesitate for long, then jumped into the lava abyss.

At the bottom of the lava abyss, there is a semi-cooled black reef.

Lu Heng's external source energy can cover the soles of your feet and fall on the black reefs. Your feet can quickly step on the lava reefs, while reducing the contact time between the soles of your feet and the reefs.

Since the active energy protects the soles of your feet, they will not be burned by high temperature in a short period of time.

However, we must find an exit as soon as possible, as this state cannot withstand the scorching heat for long.

Xie Shien landed on the magma pool, opened his hands, held up a circle of energy shield, and floated lightly half a meter above the magma, not affected by the magma at all.

He looked back at Lu Heng, then floated forward, took out a magic wand, raised it to block the falling lava waterfall, and revealed a hole behind the lava waterfall.

Then he floated into the cave.

Lu Heng opened his mouth to call him, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he had disappeared behind the lava waterfall.

The lava waterfall fell again, covering the entrance to the cave.

Lu Heng's expression froze. He took a deep breath, rushed forward, drew out the Aurora Blade, and slashed with it, splitting the lava waterfall.

Then he rushed through the gap created by the sword light and entered the cave.

After entering the cave, the temperature around us dropped a lot, but it was still very hot.

Xie Shien held up a spherical energy shield and continued to float forward.

Lu Heng chased after him, jumped into his energy shield, and put his arms around his shoulders.

With the energy shield to avoid the high temperature, I felt much more comfortable.

Xie Shien did not drive Lu Heng out of the energy shield, but continued to float forward.

"Thanks."

Lu Heng said thank you and then floated with him.

Standing in Xie Shien's energy shield, Lu Heng discovered that his energy shield was not just an ordinary skill effect, but also contained a layer of class ability.

It looks like a force field created by mental power, blocking the high temperature outside the shield.

Another spiritual master.

It has to be said that among the second-level job ranks, the Psychic Master is indeed a very strong rank.

……

Xie Shien's speed of floating forward is indeed a bit slow.

After floating for several hundred meters, the temperature around him dropped to a bearable level. Lu Heng jumped out of the energy shield, reached out to touch the wall, and compared the cave structure here with the Black Rock City sand table.

Xie Shien also felt the temperature drop, so he removed his energy shield and fell to the ground.

There were three forks in the road ahead. Xie Shien looked left and right, chose the middle one, and continued walking forward.

Seeing that he didn't hesitate much, Lu Heng asked curiously, "Do you know the way?"

“I don’t know.” Xie Shien replied.

"If you don't know the way, I suggest you follow me." Author Lu Heng pointed to the fork in the road on the left and walked forward.

"Do you know the way?" Xie Shien asked the same question.

"Theoretically, yes, unless the cave here has undergone major changes." Lu Heng gave an affirmative answer. Xie Shien did not ask any more questions, but turned around, walked out of the middle cave, and followed Lu Heng into the cave on the left.

After walking for a while, Lu Heng bent down, picked up a piece of ore, and weighed it in his hand.

The data shows that it is a C-grade [Black Crystal Forging Stone], which has a relatively high impurity content and needs to be refined before use.

Apparently, this [Black Crystal Forging Stone] is the specialty of this Black Rock Mine. If you pick up a piece of impure ore scattered on the ground, it will be of Grade C quality.

No wonder the Darkville Black Iron Tribe showed signs of revival; this Blackrock Mine is indeed rich in resources.

The black crystal forging stone, coupled with abundant magma geothermal resources, is a home tailor-made for the Dark Iron Dwarves.

Unfortunately, the emergence of the blood demons interrupted the Dark Iron Dwarves' revival.

But there is something irrational about this matter.

Blood demons actually don't like environments that are too hot.

In other words, the hot Black Rock Mine is not a habitat that the blood demons like.

Why did the blood demons occupy Blackrock City?
Is it just to seize the Dark Iron Dwarfs' city?
This doesn't conform to the logic of the devil's behavior.

Demons make decisions based on their own preferences first.

If they just wanted to destroy the revival of the Dark Iron Dwarves, they would have launched a campaign directly. If one was not enough, they would have launched a second campaign, and if two were not enough, they would have launched a third campaign, instead of occupying Blackrock City.

If the blood demons do not want to return Blackrock City to the Dark Iron Dwarves, they can completely destroy Blackrock City. They have the ability to do so.

Occupying Black Rock City like it is now, and occupying it for three years, is not in line with the behavioral logic of the blood demons.

……

The two walked in the underground cave for a few minutes, and the roar of the blood demon began to be heard behind them.

Apparently the blood demon chased into the cave.

Lu Heng quickly quickened his pace and ran forward, following the route of the Black Rock City sandbox in his memory and the direction Darkwell reminded him of, looking for the exit.

After searching for a while, I finally reached the exit I remembered, but something unexpected happened.

Lu Heng looked around for a while but couldn't find the exit marked on the sand table.

"Are you sure you know the way?" Xie Shien expressed doubt.

Lu Heng frowned and thought, then reached out to touch the stone wall of the cave.

The pursuers behind him were getting closer and closer, and the roar of the blood demon spread along the cave, as if it was ringing in his ears.

In addition, from the other side of the cave, a deafening roar of a monster was heard.

Lu Heng and Xie Shien were both shocked. Just by listening to the sound, they knew that the level of this monster was terrifyingly high.

"If you have forgotten the way, just admit it and find another way to escape." Xie Shien urged.

Lu Heng did not respond to him. He pulled out the Aurora Blade, aimed at a position on the mountain wall, and shouted loudly to slash out a crack.

The sword light slashed out from the crack, and with a "bang" it shattered the mountain wall.

The huge rocks broke and rolled down.

In an instant, a faint light shone in from the broken part of the mountain wall.

Through the dust from the collapsed rocks, one could just barely see a passage slanting upwards.

Xie Shien saw a faint light coming in and knew that the exit was there.

It must have been sealed by the blood demon before.

He raised his wand, moved several rocks away from the exit through the air, and then flew out first.

Lu Heng followed closely behind, rushed out of the cave, came to the back mountain of the Black Stone Mine, and breathed the "cool" air.

In fact, the climate on the lava plain is very hot, but compared with the stuffiness in the mine, the air on the lava plain can indeed be considered "cool".

Lu Heng turned around and asked, "Do you want to join us? I have a team and we can form an alliance."

Xie Shien waved his hand: "No, I like to be alone."

"Okay then. Let's say goodbye here. I hope we can still cooperate next time we meet." Lu Heng tried his best to be friendly.

The two of them had indeed cooperated to escape from Black Rock City just now.

"Okay, let's consider it an alliance. But I like to act alone." Xie Shien agreed to the alliance request, but still decided to act alone.

"Okay then, goodbye."

Lu Heng waved his hand and ran towards the south, ready to reunite with the team.

……

at the same time.

Beside the geothermal riverbed of the lava plain, the psychics who had just escaped from the pursuit of the blood leader Assassin suddenly started fighting and the fight was fierce.

This group of psychics formed two camps, ten on one side and seven on the other.

On the ten-man camp side, there was Charles Water's four-man team and Park Hyun-jin's three-man team.

The seven-member camp was clearly being suppressed and was communicating in Daxia language.

On the side of the ten-man team, there was a violent werewolf with a jet-black body, charging through the crowd and making terrifying roars.

The dark werewolf pounced on a Daxia mutant, pressed its sharp claws on her head, and stretched out its terrifying tongue to lick her.

at this time.

A double-headed bird appeared in the sky, bringing up a solar wind that forced back the dark werewolf and the psychics from Charles Water's side.

The double-headed bird swooped down and pulled back the female mutant who had just been knocked down by the dark werewolf.

The solar wind swept over, burning all the fur on the dark werewolf's body, and the flames left mottled wounds on his body.

He exited the range of the solar wind, and the burned skin on his body began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.

He looked up at the high ground on the left side of the lava riverbed and let out an angry roar at the person controlling the double-bird.

Roar!
On the high ground, there were Su Muyu, Lin Zeyu, and a mechanical tiger.

The two of them had just discovered that the two camps were fighting, but did not get involved immediately.

Because they need to be prepared to pick up Lu Heng here. If they rashly get involved in the fight between other psychics, it would be disastrous if it delays the opportunity to pick up Lu Heng.

It was not until the Da Xia psychics showed signs of defeat that Su Muyu decided to take action.

The solar wind separated the two groups and temporarily stopped the fighting.

Su Muyu stood on the high ground and asked loudly, "Is it interesting? You were summoned here, but instead of dealing with the blood demons, you are fighting among yourselves. Are you rookies entering the Abyss battlefield for the first time?"

If it is the first time entering the Abyss Battlefield, it is understandable that such internal strife would occur.

Those who appear here are the top psychics at this stage.

Many of them have their own teams and are backed by powerful forces, so they are not much behind in terms of obtaining information.

Therefore, the people here are the ones who know the Abyss Battlefield best at this stage.

Charles Water saw Su Muyu and recognized her as the girl from the team he met on the first day he was teleported in.

He said coldly: "I advise you not to meddle in other people's business, otherwise your team of three will also be in trouble."

Lin Zeyu curled his lips and said with a smile: "Don't be so arrogant. If it weren't for our principle of not firing the first shot, I would have shot you in the head a long time ago."

The two sides were in a stalemate, but if Su Muyu and the other two joined the Da Xia psychic side, it would be a camp of nine people.

There is also Lu Heng whose position is uncertain, and the camp may become ten people at any time.

Su Muyu and the others knew that Lu Heng was not here now, but Charles Water didn’t know.

In the view of Charles Water's team, there may be a very powerful Daxia mutant lurking nearby.

This is an invisible threat.

Charles Water pondered for a moment, and said in a tough tone: "A ceasefire is also possible, as long as you hand over the traitors!"
