With the Earth Stone as the center, the surrounding earth began to pulse rhythmically again, as if it had its own pulse.
Each pulse brings a slight seismic tremor.
People here have long been accustomed to this.
Because they knew that this was another coordinated transformation of the place by the Earth Bear.
"This is an excellent opportunity." Filancini suggested to Gavin, "Go back to Misnoel, control the Tower of Domination, and try to see if you can establish a connection with the Earth Stone through the ley lines!"
"There are tens of millions of roads in the world. The soul energy of the Plains of Bones can be transformed into a grid of roads, and the leylines of Faerûn may not be able to do the same! There is nothing more stable than a grid in this world!" Gavin had a flash of inspiration in his mind, The whole person couldn't help but become excited.
The biggest function of roads is to connect.
When he was in the bottomless abyss, he created a powerful undead territory by merging with the undead killing power.
Although when he left the bottomless abyss, he stripped off all the divine power related to undead killing and distributed it to the killing hand.
But there is one thing that Killing Hand cannot sit back and enjoy, that is, the path of bones brings divine power.
That is the proper divine power of the road concept. As long as it still exists, it can continue to provide support to Gavin, and he will not be completely destroyed.
He could clearly feel that the development speed of the Killing Hand in the Abyss had not slowed down because of his departure. On the contrary, it became more terrifying and faster.
Not only because he has a good foundation, but also because Killing Hand doesn't have the psychological baggage that makes him unwilling to fall.
Because of this burden, he did not dare to use many methods, such as directly attacking other demonic planes and carrying out large-scale massacres of demons there, and for example, he did not dare to respond to the lustful temptation of the succubus queen Mecanshut.
The Killing Hand doesn't care about anything, just go ahead and do it.
Now I don’t know whether to say that the succubus queen Malcanthet is the mistress of the Killing Hand, or that he is Malcanthet’s lover.
Anyway, the two are now fighting fiercely. The Succubus Queen uses the Killing Hand as a gun, taking the opportunity to launch a thorough liquidation of the forces outside the Dark Prince's territory, frantically cutting off his wings, and striving to make Graz'zt a lonely man within a hundred years.
When the contract expires, Prince Dark's threat to Mecanshut will be greatly reduced.
The Killing Hand used the Succubus Queen as a shield, killing and plundering souls crazily to enrich itself.
To ordinary people, the bottomless abyss is an endless purgatory, a place of great terror.
But for the Killing Hands, it was heaven.
As mentioned before, the killing hand is Gavin, because both the memory and the thinking mode are basically inherited from him.
But it's not Gavin, because he has completely integrated the killing priesthood, especially the immortal killing priesthood.
Therefore, he does not have Gavin's feelings and burdens, and has no bottom line when doing things. He will only pursue maximizing interests crazily.
And one can imagine how terrifying Gavin like this is.
The Killing Hand did not completely sever its relationship with its true body and reject everything Gavin did in the Abyss. Instead, it built on this foundation to become bigger and stronger, including the Skeleton Road that was closely related to it.
This is not done out of emotional considerations, but out of interests.
Although he and Gavin are not the same person, they are not very different. Anyway, they are completely connected.
And this is their biggest advantage.
In the Abyss, Killing Hand has an advantage that Gavin does not have.
But similarly, even a not-so-intelligent demigod like the Earth Bear knows the value Gavin has shown in Faerûn, so how could the Killing Hand not know it?
He might not want to ascend the throne of the God of Slaughter!
Gavin not only had no objection to this matter, but was happy to see it come to fruition.
Intelligent creatures are extremely complex and diverse. As the saying goes, thousands of people have thousands of faces. As long as there are enough numbers, it is impossible to eliminate evil, let alone completely eliminate killing.
Rather than handing this priesthood over to the hands of those evil gods, it would be better to hand it over to the Killing Hand. At least I can have influence and control over it, and have a better understanding of his style of doing things.
The Killing Hand will never stick to one path. Maybe the immortal killing priesthood is a stepping stone for him, allowing him to expand into other priestly fields.
Compared to Faerûn, the Abyss is large enough, and there are many places where Killing Hand can display its fists and kicks, but he may not necessarily be able to fully appreciate this place.
After all, what he needs is not faith, but death and killing. It doesn't matter whether he is a human or a demon, a believer or a devil.
The Road Priesthood can even connect to the divine powers known for destruction such as immortality and killing. Why can't Lava?
While his thoughts were spinning, Gavin activated the Mys Noel Teleportation Technique.
Earthy-yellow light emerged from under his feet, dragging Gavin towards the Tower of Misnoel's rule.
What was different from the past was that he did not arrive instantly, but entered a state that was both familiar and unfamiliar.
Familiar because he had experienced it before, it was a unique feeling of omniscience when manipulating the Tower of Domination.
Strange because this feeling was not the sky and ground he was familiar with, but the underground.
He clearly perceived the layers of the earth, a bit like taking a geography class.
But it is much more real, complicated and detailed than taking a geography class.
The different substrata are not parallel but intertwined with each other.
This kind of spiritual exploration is ultimately attributed to the hot and scorching magma.
He could clearly feel a violent stream of magma following him, surging crazily towards the direction of Noel.
There is no doubt that this is the action taken by the Earth Bear.
Gavin is now acting as a guide, guiding the direction of the Earth Bear and the magma he is enveloping. It feels like a natural progression.
Because the Marching Mountains themselves are the product of the pulsation of earth veins, and Serenagde Peak, the stone of the earth, is the source, with a large earth vein running from east to west.
Now the Earth Bear is just taking the opportunity to sort out this leyline.
It wasn't until we were still twenty kilometers away from Misnoel that something went wrong, and the entire leyline passed by it.
At this time, Gavin had returned to the Tower of Domination and directly communicated with the Earth Bear: "I will lead you to charge."
This is when he comes into play.
Directly exerting a divine ability deep underground - shaping the road.
This ability is not limited to road paving, but can also be used to dig mountains, build bridges, and dig holes.
It is naturally no problem to open a passage deep underground.
The only limitation is that its power is relatively weak, at least at the moment.
But now this problem is not a problem either.
Myth Noel's Tower of Dominance amplified not only Gavin's spiritual power, but even his clerical abilities were amplified tenfold.
Twenty kilometers of underground tunnels were opened instantly, and the magma wave that had already been instigated by the Earth Bear rushed wildly along the underground tunnel opened by Gavin, as if it had found a vent.
Boom! Click! Click!
Magma showed its most violent side at this moment.
Crazy swallowing and squeezing everything around it.
All earth and rocks will melt and become part of it, and under its squeeze, the earth will scream, tremble, and shake uncontrollably.
When the Earth City was renovated previously, the Earth Bear was somewhat restrained.
This time I tried my best, but it was a bit out of control.
The ground shook more violently than ever before, comparable to a small earthquake of magnitude 4 or 5, and some places even experienced collapses and cracks in the ground.
If you can go deep into the earth, you will find that it is not solid, but like cheese, full of holes.
There are both completely enclosed crypts and tunnels extending in all directions.
When the squeezing force is transmitted here and affects the stability here, large-scale landslides may occur, resulting in secondary fluctuations, which will appear as collapse or ground fissures on the ground.
Unfortunately, there are a large number of dark areas below Mir Forest, both naturally formed and excavated. There are as many as three named drow cities alone.
Among them, the city of Iskayur is within the scope of this change in the earth's veins, and the straight-line distance does not exceed three kilometers.
It's not that Gavin consciously targeted this, it was purely a coincidence.
He had only heard of the name of this city and had no idea of the true location of this drow city.
After all, it is located underground in the Mir Forest, and when those drow elves set up the ground exit, they would not foolishly set it up directly above the city.
It is often a cunning rabbit's three caves, and the ground exit is set up in a secret location far away from the city. "There's an earthquake, there's an earthquake, there's an earthquake, run away quickly!"
"The cave in front has collapsed. Go back, go back!"
"The tunnel behind was also collapsed by the earthquake and is also impassable."
"Are there any other branch caves?"
"As far as I know there is none, it's a dead end, more than a hundred meters above the ground!"
"Who prepared the spells or scrolls related to teleportation? As long as they take me away, I am willing to be loyal to them!"
"Hell, it's magma, magma is spewing out...Is this going to completely destroy our city?"
"Why did this earthquake come without warning? What about the masked prophet? Why didn't he predict such a big thing?"
"The Masked Lord above, please protect your devout believers and keep disaster away from this place!"
The dark caves around Iskayur City were completely boiling, and there were figures running around in panic.

For the creatures in the Underdark, earthquakes are the most deadly disaster.
Most of them do not have the ability to travel through earth and rock.
Once a large area of the Underdark collapses, even if they escape the fate of being crushed to death, they will still die of thirst or starvation, which is equivalent to being buried alive.
Unless you have prepared magical abilities such as teleportation or stone penetration in advance.
Both are fifth-level extraordinary spells. After all, only a few can prepare them. Most of them can only try their best to withdraw to Iskayur City and seek shelter in the city.
In these drow cities, not only are the caves repeatedly reinforced with magic, but their earthquake resistance is far superior to ordinary caves.
Usually the Drow Mystery Lock is also used. This kind of Mystery Lock unique to the drow elves usually puts earthquake resistance first, and prohibiting teleportation is secondary.
Only when the city survives can we consider other things.
But the problem is that what they are facing this time is not an earthquake in the ordinary sense.
The magma seemed to have its own consciousness and eyes, and it spewed toward the city of Iskayur along the passage in the Underdark.
This time it was Gavin and the Earth Bear’s deliberate decision.
It’s just that I didn’t find this big rat nest.
Now that he has been discovered, how can he be allowed to continue to exist?
Gavin directly adjusted the approach route slightly so that it could pass directly through this drow city.
"All creatures with the ability to cast spells, if you don't want to die, immediately go to the nearest drow magic stone, contribute your spellcasting power, and strengthen the city's defense lock! Quick! Quick! Quick!"
"All spellcasters who can prepare ice or water spells, prepare their most powerful related spells and prepare to cool the magma!"
The drow in this city showed unprecedented efficiency and tried their best to seek for themselves.
A dark light shield was the first to prop it open, not only magically reinforcing the ground around the city, but also blocking the dark passage surging with magma, preventing it from entering.
Followed closely by the freezing wind and frost.
In the narrow passage, there was a snowstorm, which cooled down the magma.
This approach works.
At least for ordinary magma, it is effective.
Once the temperature drops significantly, the activity of these magma will be greatly reduced and it will return to the shape of rock.
Once enough cooled magma seals the entire channel, the crisis will naturally be lifted.
The drow have survived in the Underdark for tens of thousands of years and have already developed an effective defense mechanism, whether it is earthquakes or magma eruptions.
But the premise is that they are facing ordinary earthquakes or magma activities.
Those unconscious dead things will only surge towards the weakest parts of the earth.
The problem is that they are now facing the conscious actions of two demigods, one of whom was once a chosen one of Ms. Strategy, and is best at adapting to circumstances.
After noticing the response method of the drow elves in Iskayur City, Gavin immediately adjusted his strategy: "Don't worry about this nest of rats for now. The first priority is to open up this earth vein and let the magma here flow completely. Task.
Blockage will cause illness.
This theory of traditional Chinese medicine is not only applicable to the human body, but also to the earth.
As long as the magma here keeps flowing and releasing energy and heat, there will be no violent crustal movement. ”
"Okay." The Earth Bear didn't understand any Chinese medicine theory. Anyway, he just obeyed Gavin's will.
What the other party said is definitely not wrong.
This is not just foolish loyalty and blind faith, but in the recent cooperation, he has truly felt the benefits of cooperation.
When the lava is buried deep underground, it is almost in a state of chaos, with various forces such as fire, earth, and violence mixed together.
Even with the help of the Earth Stone, he was unable to control this power.
But now Gavin showed him a clear path.
From Serenagde Peak to Misnoel, he walked neither entirely in a straight line nor entirely on a plane. In many places, he took advantage of the situation and made full use of the cave path of the earth's lava.
It was not until the last thirty kilometers that, with Gavin's help, they began to release lava toward the ground.
When the earth's magma began to flow, his ability to control them greatly improved.
At that moment, he was the magma of the earth, the magma of the earth was him, and his will was the will of the magma of the earth.
The galloping flow consumes energy, especially in the second half. Opening up the lava tunnel all the way up in the cold earth consumes even greater energy.
The pressure on the earth itself is constantly reducing, a large amount of energy is consumed during the flow of lava, and the earth and rocks along the way are also frantically absorbing the heat of the lava.
And this is the best way to unleash the violent power of the earth's lava.
This lava vein does not lead all the way to the bottom of the Tower of Domination and is connected to it.
If you do that, even the two demigods will not be able to suppress the rage of the earth's lava.
The lava from the earth squeezed from all directions will directly use this place as a vent, turning it into an active volcano.
They circled around ten kilometers below Mess Noel and opened another channel to return.
This is completely simulating the blood circulation pattern of living things.
The stone of the earth is the heart, and those lava channels are the blood vessels, but what flows in them is no longer lava, but the fire element conducted by it.
The lava on the earth is just a symptom. Excess energy generated by multiple reasons such as earth pressure, ocean tides, planet revolution and rotation, and the injection of the fire elemental plane is the root cause of the instability of the earth.
When the cycle is completely established, there is no need for the earth bear to activate it. Under the huge pressure of the earth, excess heat will be released into the earth.
Of course, the intervention of divine power is also indispensable. Not only does it have its own magical power of lava to ensure that they will not completely cool and solidify, but the channel also has the divine power of the road builder to ensure smoother heat conduction.
In this process, it became a matter of course for Misnoel's Tower of Dominance to use its own abilities to build an elemental shaft and directly absorb the fire element from this elemental channel for its own use.
This undoubtedly points out a new direction for the Earth Bear to balance the earth in the future.
Just establish a similar energy dispersion network directly in those unstable areas.
The successful establishment of this earth channel was an outright disaster for the drow city Iskayur City.
Their casters' front legs used a large amount of spells to cool down and solidify the lava pouring into their city. A large amount of heat was continuously transmitted to their back legs, melting it into magma again and continuing to surge forward.
Back and forth cycle.
Those drow spellcasters have limited spellcasting abilities.
The heat coming from the lava on the earth is endless. (End of chapter)
