Chapter 75 The Unknown Hollow (Debt Repayment)
Abyss plane.
There is no rising and falling sun here, there will be no phased moon, nor will there be a twinkling star, or even day and night. The whole sky is covered with blood for many years. Even the land is covered with red or dark spots. The air is filled with light smell of blood and sulfur.
Chirp Blood City is a medium-sized city that is one of the countless large and small cities scattered in the abyss plane. The three words "Chirp Blood City" have of course been translated. Otherwise, it would have sounded like a series of meaningless gurgling sounds. It was established by a powerful Abyss Blood Demon 15,000 years ago. Later, it changed hands several times. Now the city lord has become the current Balo Flame Demon, and will continue to change hands until the city is completely destroyed.
It should be noted that because the land on the abyss plane is particularly vast and very deserted, the city here covers a very wide area. Compared with other abyss cities, the Bloody City, which can only be a medium-sized city, is 5 times larger than Pompeii!
The Black Whip is an evil ghost in the Yellow Springs living in the City of Crying Blood. The human-shaped body and red skin are its symbols. The most satisfying thing on the whole body is a pair of small sharp corners on the forehead, which is a favorable weapon that can help it seduce the evil ghost girl in the Yellow Springs.
In fact, among all kinds of demons in the abyss plane, the Yellow Spring Evil Ghost is not too weak. Generally, he can become a fourth-level demon when he becomes an adult, which is slightly stronger than the fourth-level professionals on the continent of Endres. However, walking in the fifth-level and the fourth-level blood-crying city, the four-level blood-crying city, has always been the creed of the Black Whip. He has seen too many "murder cases in the alley".
For the abyss demons, law and order are the things that are damn, chaos and killing are their hobbies. For example, when there is no restraint from the strong in the wild, two demons who play well in the city will subconsciously stay away from each other hundreds of meters. If they get too close, they may be taken out of their hearts in the next moment. There is no reason, it is entirely to satisfy the bloodthirsty **. Maybe one demon who has completed the killing will cry with the corpse of another demon.
Even in the safe area specified in the city, killing other demons is not a big deal as long as you do not take action in front of the inspector. This "face" is the true "front", which means that you stab a demon in the back of the inspector and kill it. Then the inspector turns around and sees you pull out the knife, and even grins and thinks that nothing has happened. Of course, if the victim still breathes a little while the knife is pulled out, you will regret coming to this world, and the inspector is happy to do this.
Let’s talk about the Black Whip Brothers. It has always been a little scared when it is a little moved, but it has rarely shown a pride on its face recently.
It was indeed proud. Two months ago, for some reason, a fire demon ranked in the fourth level was particularly disliked. Realizing that something was wrong, Black Brush quietly hid out of the city. Unexpectedly, a plane barrier hole appeared in a mountain pile far away from Chixue City that it was avoiding!
The plane barrier hollow is caused by the weak plane barrier. It can be compared to the window where the plane barrier is unintentionally opened, connecting the plane spaces on both sides of the barrier, and even allowing creatures of two planes to pass through it to another plane. However, due to the plane laws, the stronger the creature, the harder it is to pass through this window.
Through the plane barrier hollow black whip, you can even see the wet gray land that is completely different from the abyss plane. After exploring it excitedly, it sighed dejectedly. This plane barrier hollow only allows the lowest-end demons like Jumping Demon to pass through. It is really not good news. It longs for food, water, and blood there!
But luckily, on the other side of the hollow, a group of low and dirty creatures with big noses and small eyes discovered it!
While he was chanting loudly in his heart about the protection of the Abyss Lord, the Black Whip used the tricks that all cunning demons would use, "pretend to the gods". The effect was good. After a few words of intimidation and inducement and the display of talent, the group of stupid and dirty creatures opposite the hole regarded it as gods.
The next month, Black Whip spent the city of blood and tears. Every day, he directed the group of creatures in the alien space to provide him with enough flesh and blood, but only a little dark energy was needed to make them worship him. This transaction was worth it.
The black whip, nourished by flesh and blood, grew rapidly and soon entered the fourth-level intermediate level of strength. It began to direct creatures who believe in themselves to build altars. This was learned from a non-story book. It is said that after completion, it can help the demons pass through the void of the plane barrier.
Now the altar is almost completed, and when he quietly returned to the city of Chixue, it also found that the fire demon that he didn't like was missing more than a month ago was missing. Perhaps it was killed by other "big figures". Anyway, no demon cares about this kind of thing every day. So Black Whip is very happy, and even the creed of "being a demon with its tail" could not hold back the joy on its face.

The quiet and peaceful days always pass very quickly. It was the fifth day that Li Yan arrived in Mordor Town in a blink of an eye. During these days, Li Yan tirelessly absorbed the knowledge of potions. Although most of this process was spent in the book "Introduction to Potions", his desire for knowledge made him enjoy it. Of course, he was not a nerd either. Taking the time to guide Froya to practice magic and tease Little Ireya was something he liked to do. When communicating with the townsmen outside, humility and enthusiasm made him quickly win the respect of the town residents.
In the early morning, it was still dark, and the oak house to the south of the town lighted up.
"Are you ready? Mr. Li Yan." Dean, who was wearing a black mage robe, smiled and turned his head and asked.
Li Yan, who was standing behind him with the same basket on his back, picked up his staff and nodded: "It's ready."
"Okay, let's go, haha!"
The town covered with nightfall is still quiet, and the townspeople are still sleeping. At this time, the gate of the first floor of the Oak House quietly opened, and two figures walked out of the south gate of Mordor Town along the gravel path of the town.
This time Dean and Li Yan went out to the town together to find herbs for making pots. This herb is much smaller than ordinary herbs, which caused difficulty in collecting. Therefore, Dean decided to set off before dawn. After reaching the collection site, it should be bright and there is more time to find herbs. Li Yan, who is a beginner in potions, naturally had no objection. He had never seen the complete fresh herbs, let alone know how to collect them.
Following the footsteps of Dean, they walked for a while, and at Dean's instructions, they turned around and entered the jungle on the left.
Gradually, the places where they could walk became narrower, and the bushes that blocked the road became more and more lush, and the dew began to wet the wizard robe of the two.
"Mr. Dean, is this the outer or central part of this jungle?" Li Yan asked curiously after walking for half an hour.
Knocking a bush with the stick in his hand, Dean replied, "Hey, this is the place where the outer edge of this jungle is close to the middle. You should see the mountains connected to the south from the tree house. There is the middle part of this jungle. In fact, they are not very far away from the town of Mordor."
"Oh." Li Yan asked again, "Then are the herbs we are going to collect to make magic potions growing as close to the center of the jungle?"
"Haha." Dean smiled when he heard his question, "Of course not, it's just herbs that make first-level potions. No matter where it is, as long as the environmental conditions are similar, the herbs grown are not very different in different properties. If you have the ability, you can cultivate them at your own home, but the cultivation process is more complicated and it's not worth the effort, and no one is willing to do it.
As for the fact that we are now heading towards the center of the jungle, it is because in the past ten years, I have searched most of the places outside carefully, so I need to go a little inside."
"I really admire you. What herbs are we mainly looking for this time?"
Speaking of Potions, Dean was very proud, and pointed his finger around and said, "For this area, there are many silver-leaf clover, ground-root grass, Ningshen flower, and the emperor's blood grass. Occasionally, there will be wild steel flowers, shap grass and bloody diarrhea. The environment we are going to is similar to that here, and we will harvest the grass when we see it."
Li Yan smiled and said, "Okay, but I have never seen a truly growing herb."
"Don't worry, they are exactly the same pattern as the ones drawn in the book "Introduction to Potions"... Ha, look at that!" Dean, who was originally looking at the road and explaining to Li Yan, suddenly pointed to the front and shouted in surprise, and immediately trotted over.
At this time, the sky had already shined with light.
Squatting on the ground, Dean pointed to a plant in front of him and asked Li Yan with a smile, "Can you tell what this is?"
After looking carefully, I found that this was a small plant about 1.5 cm high. The wide and thick bottom leaves spread out around to form a circle with a diameter of two cm. The most peculiar thing is that the green leaves are splashed with blood stains, and the bright red and green are clearly divided into very charming.
"This is bloody diarrhea!" Li Yan said affirmatively.
Dean nodded in appreciation: "Yes, we are so lucky. In this jungle, bloody diarrhea is a very rare herb."
"Mr. Li Yan, please pay attention to my actions of collecting this bloody diarrhea." After a detailed explanation and demonstration, Dean put the bloody diarrhea he had collected into the basket behind him, stood up and said to Li Yan: "Let's go, let's continue to look ahead."
"Wait, Mr. Dean." He called out softly to the old mage who was about to take action, and Li Yan raised his staff and turned to the right.
Through several piles of shrubs, ten black figures quietly arrived.
