Age of Heroes, 10-game winning streak

It's like a computer that was suddenly unplugged.

During this period, he could not feel anything, even his soul power could not leave his body. It was as if he was trapped in an endless still space and time, as if Kaz was floating alone in the vast universe.

Fortunately, this feeling did not last too long. After about half a minute, his consciousness returned to normal.

At the moment of coming back online, Bai Yu tried to sense his surroundings and looked back.

As expected, nothing could be seen.

But, just because you can’t see it doesn’t mean you can’t guess.

Bai Yu suspected that this should be the inner world corresponding to the outer layer of the planet...that is, the core of the star.

Normally the core of a star is blazingly hot, but here it is filled with endless depth, darkness, and coldness.

Moreover, I don’t know if it’s an illusion...it seems like someone is making a silent call from within.

"hiss--!"

Bai Yu took a deep breath and sat up. There was moist moss and soft soil under his body, and his right hand touched the hard stone wall.

Glowing moss emits a soft glow.

He looked around, not sure where he was.

[You are lucky, this is a shortcut]

"Shortcut? What shortcut? Which way is it?" Bai Yusanlian asked.

[I can’t explain all the concepts to you clearly, after all, your comprehension ability is really low]

"Bad review, I want to give a bad review!"

[To put it simply, the shortcut means digging through the earth... You know, between two points...]

“The straight line is the shortest.”

[But people living on the planet always take a curve wherever they go, and the shortcut is a straight line. The road you took is the shortcut, passing through the inside of the planet, thus covering a long distance in an instant.]

"I think... even if I took a detour, I would have been able to run from the Roman capital to the capital city a long time ago after running in the underworld for so long."

[Moving in the underworld is not actual movement. It is like walking down from an elevator. Even if you run to your death, you may not be able to move down a few meters. The shortcut is the leap of faith with a haystack below.]

"Then does that mean anyone can take this shortcut?" Bai Yu asked in surprise.

[Anyone can do it, but not everyone can find it. If you don't have the Sun That Never Sets, even if you enter the passage to the end of the underworld, you may not enter this shortcut. It may lead to a completely different place. In other words, when you take a leap of faith, there is no one below to prepare a haystack for you, or even a dung fork.]

"grass!"

Bai Yu slapped his thigh. "The coordinates provided by the Unsetting Sun are actually a shortcut? How does this work?"

He felt more questions coming up.

The Outer Gods have two goals: one is to kill Scathach and control the Shadow Kingdom; the other is to obtain the Sun that Never Sets.

Combining these two, it is not difficult to draw a conclusion.

"The Outer God's goal is to let the Star Palace control this shortcut?" Bai Yu asked in surprise, feeling it was incredible that they had to go through so much effort for this.

[You are still Chinese...]

"What does this have to do with my nationality in my previous life?"

【If you want to be rich...】

“Fewer children and more pigs?”

[That’s right… but there’s another saying, ‘build the road first’]

[Once the Star Temple has mastered this shortcut, they can send their people to all parts of the world through the shortcut, without even having to use the ghost ship]

[Moreover, mastering the Shadow Kingdom is not just about mastering the shortcut, it also means that the other party controls one of the eyes of the Shadow World.]

[Besides, there is more than one shortcut and more than one exit.]

Bai Yu thought for a moment and said, "This statement is just like the subway, with different lines, different platforms, different exits, and different tickets."

"But why would the sunset be the shortcut?"

[Perhaps, it once belonged to a throne, and this record was engraved on it]

"Another throne?"

[If you hadn't left a record, you wouldn't have arrived here... I just don't know if you got off halfway or arrived at the terminal. If it was the terminal, there should be ruins of the throne nearby. If not, it means that this shortcut is actually incomplete or has been cut off.]

Bai Yu weighed the Sun That Never Sets in his hand and said, "I can't bear to return this thing. It's a permanent ticket."

【Prospects...】

[You have the ability to visualize the Sun, so you can try to refine the records left by the Sun that Never Sets]

[Once you master it, you can find shortcuts based on the records even without it.]

"Let's talk about it later." Bai Yu patted his head: "I always feel that there are too many messy things in the sun in my brain."

He got up and said, "Let's take a look at where we are first... There are plants and a certain amount of life here, so it shouldn't be a closed place."

[It may also be a small world similar to the subspace or the four hells]

"The fourth level of hell is a small world?"

[Of course, everything in the world has its origin. The Four Hells are the product of the collapse of the throne, and there must be the handiwork of the Outer Gods... If the Shadow Kingdom is destroyed, the result will not be much better than this.]

Bai Yu wanted to ask more questions, but at this moment he felt the sound of wind brought by the air flow.

Although this darkness is pitch black, it is still a gentle darkness compared to the underworld.

There was simply an absence of light, rather than an endless, suffocating darkness.

Soon, Bai Yu came to a relatively open area. He knocked lightly on the stone wall and determined by the echo that he was at the foot of a cliff.

The terrain posed no restrictions to him.

Just step on your right foot with your left foot and you can go straight to the sky.

But he did not act rashly because he could already smell blood in the air.

Following the smell of blood, he found a body covered by rocks under the stone wall. The man had obviously fallen from a great height, with abrasions and bruises all over his body...but the direct cause of death was not the fall, but a fatal wound on the neck.

After a careful inspection, Bai Yu said, "I know this person's identity."

[Isn’t that a coincidence? I know him too.]

Even though it is impossible to make a direct judgment from the clothes, the conclusion can be drawn directly from the black bow that fell at hand.

Black evil bow, demon-killing arrows.

"Follower of the evil star, black evil bow user."

Followers of the evil star Rahu, specializing in hunting down fallen demons.

The demons first appeared in the shadow world. The earliest demon was called Demon Ancestor. Later, Demon Ancestor was killed by Luohou, and his body was divided into three, which became three incarnations... Taiyin, Taisui, and Nüxie.

Rahu seldom enters the world, and his followers rarely show up in public either. They usually hunt down fallen demons, seed demons, and original demons silently.

When leaving Longxiang, Dijiexing specifically mentioned that the followers of the evil star had a big task recently and needed to gather manpower.

The purpose of gathering manpower is to respond to the birth of Taiyin.

The gathering place is located in the Taiyin Demon Realm.

This archer had obviously died not long ago, and the aura remaining on his body was demonic energy.

Bai Yu's expression changed slightly, and a guess was forming in his mind.

He thought of Rahu's arrow that streaked across the underworld like a meteor.

Then I thought of the "shortcut" mentioned by the immortal customer service just now.

Could it be that……

"I took a shortcut from the Shadow Kingdom and went directly to the Taiyin Demon Realm?"

"That is to say..."

"My God, I am now in the most dangerous place in Daxia?"

Chapter 807: Since ancient times, he has been Luo Hou's lackey

“I never thought that the two eyes in the shadow world are actually connected.”

[Nature is the same, just like one is a mouth and the other is a steel door]

"?" Bai Yu was stunned for a moment: "Then which one of us is coming out now?"

[It depends on your point of view. Do you think it is better to eat it and poop it out, or to...]

"You are good at using metaphors." Bai Yu was disgusted by this statement.

After a brief chat, he continued to focus his attention on the body.

"The Black Evil Archers all died here." Bai Yu said, "If this is the Taiyin Demon Realm, how can I get out? Customer Service, do you have a map?"

[Although there is no map, I need to remind you]

"What?"

[Two people are approaching from above]

Bai Yu released his soul perception, and on the steep cliff, two figures were running towards the deep valley like Naruto, at a very fast speed.

He did not rush forward immediately, but kept a distance and quietly changed his appearance suit into another close-fitting knight suit. This suit was similar to a racing driver's tights and also had a relatively high protective effect, which could effectively resist impact and puncture.

……

Two figures in black robes quickly fell to the ground.

After searching around, they followed the smell of blood and found the tragic corpse.

"We are late." The older archer said, "He must have been ambushed and separated from his original team. This injury looks like it was caused by the Heart Devourer."

As he spoke, the archer reached out his hand and began to touch the corpse. He turned over the body and took out a package from behind the corpse. Inside the package were some supplies, a hairpin and a letter.

"Put away the relics." The older archer emptied the package and handed it to the younger archer who was slightly shorter than him. "If we can leave Taiyin Demon Realm, these things must be handed over."

This is an unwritten rule among followers of the evil star. After all, no one knows how long they can live, so they always carry a suicide note and relics that they are reluctant to throw away in their backpacks. Eventually, they will be sent out or buried according to the way described in the letter.

"Teacher, what should we do with the body?"

"If you leave it in the Taiyin Demon Realm, it might turn into a demonic corpse. It's impossible to take it out. Just destroy it on the spot."

The master and disciple archers spoke without much fluctuation in their tone, as if they were used to it.

The Black Evil Archers are all led by old ones, and they also follow the master-disciple inheritance method.

After dealing with the body, the two were about to leave when they suddenly heard the sound of stones falling from the cliff.

"Who is it!" The older archer pulled the bowstring and aimed the cold arrow at the depths of the dark valley.

The young archer was a little nervous, and followed suit, drawing his bow and putting an arrow on it.

"You two...are one of us." Bai Yu raised his hands and walked out.

When the young archer saw that it was a living person, he subconsciously put down the arrow: "Teacher, it doesn't look like a demon."

"Stop, don't move!" The old archer said in a low voice, "Although it looks like a human, it may not be a human. It may be a high-level demon mimicking a human form. And why are there other living people in the Taiyin Demon Realm?"

"Because I am also a Black Evil Archer who follows the evil star, so naturally I came here to carry out a mission. However, I was unlucky and encountered terrain changes in the Taiyin Demon Realm, and got separated from my original team." Bai Yu did not give his real name, and he was also wary of these two archers.

Bai Yu knew that he was a celebrity, and he would definitely attract unnecessary attention if he exposed his identity rashly. If his identity was exposed, the other party would certainly ask why he was in the Taiyin Demon Realm, which would require additional explanations, which would be even more troublesome.

He took out the Black Evil Bow he had just seen: "Isn't this enough to prove my identity?"

The older archer said coldly: "If you are a follower of the evil star, then tell me your title."

The Black Evil Bow seems to be able to be used as proof of identity, but who knows if it was stolen?

Bai Yu was in a dilemma. Although he knew the naming rules of the archers, it was obviously inappropriate to impersonate someone with a random name. If he reported a name that the other party knew, he would have no way to defend himself.

He thought for a moment and lied, "I haven't received the title of star yet, so I haven't graduated yet."

The older archer took a look at Bai Yu's appearance and found that he looked very young, perhaps less than 20 years old. This age was indeed not enough to meet the standards for becoming a master.

"Who is your teacher?"

"Earth Robbery Star." Bai Yu directly borrowed the name of his only old acquaintance.
