Chapter 491 Promotion mission completed (5K big chapter, please subscribe, please vote monthly)
The main color of Pangu Hell is dull brown-red. This color not only permeates the entire sky, but also penetrates deeply into the suspended boulders and the surrounding environment.
It gives people a hot and oppressive feeling, as if the entire space is enveloped by an invisible flame.
Although there is no obvious light source in hell, the entire space is not completely dark.
The sky emits a hazy light, neither dazzling nor dim, just enough for people to see their surroundings clearly.
Cone-shaped stones of different sizes are suspended in the air, arranged in some mysterious pattern in the air.
Some of these stones move slowly, while others are stationary, following some ancient laws.
The stone has a rough surface and a color that matches the overall tones of Hell.
They occasionally collide with each other, making a dull sound.
This sound echoed in the hell, adding an eerie feeling to this empty and lonely space.
In this desolate and depressing hell, there is no water, no food, only endless loneliness and depression.
When Lin Yi's spiritual body appeared in this area, Lin Yi immediately felt an invisible force quietly consuming his strength and memory.
However, this wear-out speed is extremely slow. Even if he stays here for ten days and a half, it will not have much impact.
But for the Eight Demons, the situation is completely different.
They have spent a long time in this hell, and most of the mana in their bodies and the memories in their minds have been obliterated by the hell environment.
Under the guidance of magic, Lin Yi soon discovered Curse Lan's figure.
At this moment, Curse Lan was sitting quietly on a floating gravel, with his eyes closed and his mind immersed in meditation.
Even in this hot and depressing hell environment, Curse Lan still maintains the habit of meditation, polishing his own mana through meditation.
Although meditating in hell cannot restore mana, countless years of persistence have already become a habit.
"Curse Lan." Lin Yi called softly.
Hearing Lin Yi's voice, Curlan slowly opened his eyes and turned around.
When he saw Lin Yi appearing in hell in his spiritual form, there wasn't much surprise on his face.
"You're here." Curlan said lightly, still sitting cross-legged on the floating rocks, maintaining a meditative posture.
"Well, I'm here to ask you, how to find your Hell Gate?" Lin Yi said quickly, "Among the eight demons, your Hell Gate is the hardest to find. The sky above the earth is too big, I can't determine your Hell Gate. Is the Hell Gate still on the previous space station?"
After Curse Lan heard this, he opened his eyes slightly.
"I will give you the authority to control my family members, and they will help you find the location of my hell gate."
After saying that, Julan waved his hand gently, and Lin Yi immediately felt a lotus mark appear on his arm.
[Tip: The Hunter has obtained the 'Mark of the Moon Demon·Curse Blue' and now has the ability to summon Byakhi. 】
Unfortunately, Lin Yi's spiritual body is now in the special plane of hell, and he is temporarily unable to perceive the exact location of Bayaki.
"Okay, then be prepared. I have contacted several forces and should be able to open your hell door soon." Lin Yi said quickly.
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yi's figure disappeared into the air of hell and returned to the real world.
In his perception, other demons were gradually approaching in the distance. It was obviously not a wise choice to continue to stay in this place.
Lin Yi's disappearance made Ju Lan frown slightly, but he quickly regained his composure.
"I seem to smell the scent of human souls." Bo Gang's huge body appeared in front of Curse Lan, who was like a small dot in front of Bo Gang.
Julan looked at Bo Gang calmly and said in a calm tone: "Bo Gang, you must have fainted from hunger."
Curse Lan didn't want to share Lin Yi's plan to rescue him from hell with any other demons.
He is fully aware of the importance and sensitivity of this plan, so he wants no interference or interference from other demons.
The relationship between the eight demons is complicated and full of calculations and suspicions.
It can be said that we share the same hardships and enjoy the blessings alone.
Although other demons are not as extremely selfish as the Holy Lord, their nature also makes it difficult for them to be called kind people.
Taking Bazaar as an example, her first priority when she returned to the world was not to rescue her trapped compatriots, but to impatiently carve out a magic circle in an attempt to flood the entire world and turn it into her private domain. This behavior undoubtedly exposed her selfishness and ambition similar to that of the Holy Lord.
Among the eight demons, perhaps only Ximu, Dikui and Julan can still make people feel a little relieved.
They are relatively more rational and less easily driven by greed.
Because of this, Curse Lan chose to remain silent about Lin Yi's plan.
He knew that once this plan was known to other demons, it would likely cause countless troubles and obstacles.
In order to prevent these so-called "good brothers" from holding him back, Curse Lan kept silent about anything about Lin Yi.
"Really? That might be because I'm so hungry that I'm hallucinating."
As Bo Gang spoke, he grabbed a stone cone floating next to him and threw it into his mouth without hesitation.
Although the taste of this stone cone is really indescribable, to Bo Gang, it is already a rare delicacy in hell.
Here, even such rough stones are extremely precious.
After all, the environment in hell is harsh and resources are severely scarce.
Speaking of the changes in hell, originally this place was a continuous piece of land, but now it has become a fragmented floating stone.
There was no other reason than Bo Gang's endless appetite, which directly devoured the entire continental shelf.
This also led to a huge change in the landscape of hell. The former vast land turned into these suspended rocks today.
On Earth, Japan was once Bogon's territory, and that vast territory was eventually reduced to its current size under Bogon's huge appetite.
When Lin Yi's spiritual body returned from hell, he found a lotus symbol on his arm.
Immediately, Lin Yi sensed that on the distant moon, countless Byakki were sleeping on the surface of the moon.
Following Lin Yi's call, several Baiyaki woke up from their slumber.
They began to sense the location of the Cursed Blue Hell Gate, where their master was about to return.
After determining the direction, these Bayaki flew high, rushed out from the back of the moon, and flew towards the sky above the earth.
"Dad, are the Holy Lord's spells still there?" Lin Yi asked.
"The spell is still stored in District 13." Dad replied, looking a little tired. "If you need it, let Jackie Chan take you to get it. Dad needs to rest now." After saying that, Dad took a blow. Yawning, he immediately walked into the house and started to catch up on his sleep.
Hearing his father's snoring gradually, Lin Yi took out his cell phone and dialed Jackie Chan's number.
Ten minutes later, Jackie Chan opened the door of his father's antique store, followed by a burly, bald man.
Jackie Chan introduced: "Lin Yi, this is Sheriff Black of District 13."
Sheriff Blake stepped forward and shook hands with Lin Yi, "Hello, Mr. Lin. I heard Jackie Chan tell you your needs. You need twelve talismans to deal with demons, right?"
Sheriff Black was once a firm believer in science. However, through many collaborations with Jackie Chan, he gradually realized another side of the world - those mysterious powers that science cannot explain.
Therefore, he knew the terror of the devil and the importance of Lin Yi's trip.
"almost."
Sheriff Black frowned slightly and asked, "May I ask which demon Mr. Lin is going to deal with?"
The current Sheriff Black has gone through some evil ways and is aware of the reputations of most demons in the world.
"Moon Demon, Curse Blue." Lin Yi calmly spit out the name.
Upon hearing the word "cursed blue", Sheriff Black's face instantly became serious.
"Okay Mr. Lin, this time I allow you to use the spell."
When Lin Yi could accurately name Ju Lan, Blake was convinced that he was not a liar.
In this era, there are too few people who can directly name Curse Lan.
The meaning of this name can only be understood by those who have a deep understanding of extraordinary forces.
Arriving at the jeep outside, Lin Yi followed Jackie Chan into a jeep.
The car shuttled through the streets of the city, and half an hour later, they stopped at the entrance of a quiet alley.
It was quiet here, with nothing but a phone booth and a trash can.
Sheriff Black led Lin Yi to the phone booth, "Mr. Lin, please come in."
When Lin Yi stepped into the phone booth, Blake pressed a few buttons on the phone.
Suddenly, the ground of the phone booth began to slowly sink, and a huge underground base appeared in front of Lin Yi's eyes.
This base is like a scene from a science fiction movie, with busy personnel and all kinds of high-tech equipment.
"Well, welcome to District Thirteen."
After saying this, Sheriff Black took Lin Yi to the warehouse where the twelve talismans were stored. After going through a series of security verifications, including fingerprint recognition, face recognition and password recognition, they finally entered the warehouse.
"Chief Blake, are you sure your security system is foolproof?"
After hearing this, Chief Black smiled confidently: "Mr. Lin, please rest assured that our security system has been strictly tested and inspected and is absolutely safe and reliable."
Lin Yi's mind couldn't help but recall the plot in the original book where Xiaoyu easily cracked the security system of District 13.
It can only be said that for such a big leader like Chief Blake, the password he set was actually his birthday.
Even ordinary people know that bank card passwords cannot be set with birthday-related passwords.
"Don't worry, District 13 is the safest place. No one can invade District 13."
After hearing Sheriff Blake's classic speech, Lin Yi finally couldn't help laughing.
"What's wrong? Is there any problem?"
"It's nothing, I just thought of something happy. Let's go quickly."
Lin Yi calmed down and urged Chief Black to move forward.
After passing through three heavy vault doors, they finally arrived at the place where the twelve talismans were stored.
After putting away the charm, Lin Yi said goodbye to Jackie Chan and Sheriff Black, and then left District 13.
After leaving District 13, Lin Yi found a deserted alley and sank into the Kingdom of Shadows.
This time, the situation in the Shadow Kingdom was obviously much more dilapidated than the last time Lin Yi came here.
Many of the originally neat and uniform houses have collapsed, and the ruins reveal a sense of desolation and dilapidation.
And those creatures that once lurked in the shadows are now boldly emerging and wandering around this ruined city.
All these changes are due to the fact that the Shadow Kingdom lost the command of Tara and the Nine Demon Generals.
With their departure, the ninja soldiers of the Shadow Kingdom seemed to have lost their backbone, and most of them had fallen asleep.
The moment Lin Yi stepped into the city of Shadow Kingdom, a ferocious shadow wolf pounced towards him.
Before Lin Yi could take action, hundreds of shurikens had roared out, accurately penetrating the Shadow Wolf's body and killing it instantly.
Hundreds of soldiers from the Imperial Guards of the Shadow Corps appeared in front of Lin Yi uniformly.
"Let's go to the palace where Tara is."
Lin Yi sat on the sedan next to him and began to move quickly on the streets of the Shadow Kingdom. The scenes on both sides of the street flashed before Lin Yi's eyes.
A few minutes later, Lin Yi arrived at the palace.
Here, as before, soldiers from the Shadow Corps were patrolling the city walls closely, demonstrating the order and majesty here.
What was different from before was that the palace was eerily quiet at the moment, with no other sounds except the footsteps of patrolling soldiers.
In this timeline, all nine ghost generals have been sealed, and only Tara's mask remains in the palace.
Lin Yi walked through the long corridors and finally came to the depths of the palace and saw the Tara mask placed on the palace seat.
The Tara Mask assumes a shape that fully covers the wearer's face, adapting itself to the wearer's facial features.
The mask is bright red as a whole, and the two broad bunches of white hair on the eyebrows and beard are particularly eye-catching.
[Tip: Hunter has completed the third-level promotion task. About to return to Samsara Paradise. 】
[It is detected that the hunter has a lead badge. Due to special reasons, the hunter can extend the time by 72 hours. 】
When Lin Yi got the Tara mask, the reminder of Samsara Paradise sounded.
Since Lin Yi's pick-up work had not yet been completed, Samsara Paradise extended Lin Yi's stay.
Samsara Paradise controls as many as hundreds of thousands of worlds. With such a huge power, even if there is a problem in only a small part of the world, the consumption of manpower for Samsara Paradise will be extremely staggering.
So when Cursed Blue, a plot character who meets the requirements, appears, Samsara Paradise will naturally not let it go easily.
Seeing that the main mission was completed, Lin Yi began to mobilize the power of the abyss to invade the Tara Mask.
This process requires extremely high precision and control, because the power of the abyss is extremely corrosive, and the inner structure of the mask may be destroyed if you are not careful.
As the power of the abyss slowly invaded, the color of Tara's mask began to change.
The originally red mask gradually turned part of it dark red under Lin Yi's invasion, as if it had been infiltrated by dark power.
"Damn, who is so bold?" Tara roared angrily, and then used her few mana to attach her consciousness to the mask.
When he opened his eyes, he saw Lin Yi eroding his mask, and the anger in his heart became even stronger.
Tara originally wanted to summon the soldiers of the Black Shadow Corps and let them take back the mask from Lin Yi, but mid-sentence, he suddenly felt an invisible force sealing his mouth, preventing him from continuing to issue orders.
Tara felt this power in shock and discovered that it was actually the power of the contract.
He was shocked because signing the contract required Tara's confirmation, but in his memory, there was no such person as Lin Yi at all.
What is going on?
"No! Let me go!" Tara shouted in horror, but Lin Yi did not stop the erosion of the power of the abyss.
When the mask was about to be completely swallowed, Tara showed an unprecedented look of begging for mercy on her face.
For Tara, this mask is not only a symbol of strength, but also the key to his escape from the seal.
Once there is a problem with the mask, he will never be able to escape the current predicament.
Lin Yi would not listen to Tara and continued to control the power of the abyss to invade Tara's mask.
Until the last part of Tara's mask was invaded by the power of the abyss, Lin Yi could clearly feel that the connection between Tara and the Black Shadow Corps had been completely severed.
In a small, distant sub-plane, Tara's body shook violently with rage.
He lost the key to this sub-plane - the mask with special powers.
Unless this sub-plane accidentally collides with the real plane, he will be imprisoned here forever.
[Tip: The Hunter has obtained the highest authority to control the Shadow Corps. Due to the erosion of the power of the abyss, the skill of summoning the Shadow Corps has been changed. 】
[Summon the Shadow Corps (LV.MAX)]
Type: Active skill
Skill effect: Hunters can consume the power of the abyss to actively summon the soldiers of the Shadow Corps. Depending on the strength of the soldiers, the power of the abyss consumed by the soldiers of the Shadow Corps will also vary.
Tip: Hunters can use the power of the abyss to strengthen their soldiers.
After seeing the skill prompt, Lin Yi immediately summoned a soldier from the Imperial Guard.
Upon hearing Lin Yi's call, a soldier rushed to Lin Yi from his patrol position near the palace as quickly as possible, waiting for Lin Yi's order.
"Paradise, how can I strengthen these soldiers?"
[Hunters need to obtain ‘spiritual beads’, which can strengthen the origin of the soldiers of the Black Shadow Corps through the power of the abyss. 】
After hearing the reminder from the Reincarnation Paradise, Lin Yi put away Tara's mask and immediately went to the place where Tara had stored the spiritual beads.
[Tip: The Hunter has obtained the important prop ‘Spirit Bead’ of the Black Shadow Corps. 】
【Spirit Beads】
Place of Origin: The Adventures of Jackie Chan·The Immortal Plane
Quality: Gold
Category: Special props
Effect of use: It can nourish the damaged soul and increase the recovery speed of the soul by 100%.
Tip: There are 865,491 soul origins of the Black Shadow Corps in the manifest beads.
Rating: 399 points.
Introduction: Originally a rare treasure in the Golden Light Cave in Qianyuan Mountain, he was later reincarnated as the third son of Li Jing, the commander-in-chief of Chentangguan. The remains were found by Tara and made into the core of the Black Shadow Corps.
Price: 114,000 Paradise Coins
After Lin Yi successfully obtained ownership of the spirit bead, the number of souls of the Black Shadow Corps soldiers contained in the spirit bead was finally displayed.
Lin Yi originally thought that the number of soldiers in the Black Shadow Corps would be at least more than one million, but he did not expect that there were only 860,000 soldier souls in it.
All along, the infinite resurrection ability of the Black Shadow Corps soldiers gave Lin Yi the illusion that their number was endless.
Lin Yi glanced at the imperial guard following him. When Lin Yi approached the soldier with the spirit bead, Lin Yi could clearly sense that there was a trace of soul inside the spirit bead that became extremely active.
When the power of the abyss gently wrapped around the active soul source, the aura of the Guards soldiers in front of Lin Yi began to fluctuate violently.
This change is not only reflected in the soldier's aura, but also intuitively displayed in his appearance.
The soldier's skin color gradually changed from gray-black to pure black, as if dyed by the night.
And his eyes also transformed from bright red to a deep black.
