Chapter 3464: AttractedEditor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Thanks to the help of the Mag Clan, Fang Heng took less than half an hour to quickly arrive at the entrance to the fifty-eighth layer of hell.
Ignis looked back cautiously and explained to Fang Heng, "Below this is the area where the Lava Lurkers gather. The environment there is very hot, and almost the entire layer is covered by vast pools of lava."
"Sir, the Lava Lurkers have relatively low intelligence. They usually lurk deep within the lava pools, hiding inside to ambush any hell creatures trying to pass by."
"Generally, we avoid provoking them here, and to some extent, they help us block the Mad Demons from the deeper layers from flooding the upper layers."
"Hmm, understood. Continue."
Ignis saw that Fang Heng showed no sign of stopping and sighed inwardly as he led him into the lower lava cave.
Hell’s fifty-eighth layer.
At the entrance was a flat lava ground.
Looking into the distance, huge, glowing red molten lava slowly flowed like thick blood, spreading out into lakes. The surface occasionally bulged with massive bubbles that burst, splashing scalding lava droplets.
Ignis carefully observed the lava pools ahead.
They seemed calm on the surface, but he was certain the pools hid many Lava Lurkers. If they got too close, the Lava Lurkers would launch surprise attacks and drag them under the lava to be completely swallowed.
Fang Heng took a few steps forward and looked at the lava pool.
Ignis quietly said beside him, "Sir, we can climb along the top of the rocky walls, trying to conceal our aura, to avoid pursuit from the Lava Lurkers."
Fang Heng looked up at the high lava cave ceiling and shook his head, "No need to bother."
"Huh?"
"Chi, chi chi chi..."
As he spoke, Abe Akaya’s vines quickly spread from the passage entrance behind them.
Ignis and the accompanying Mag Clan squad heard the sound and immediately looked back.
Abe Akaya’s vines were rapidly extending towards the lava!
What?!
What was this?
Impossible!
The temperature of the lava pools in hell was more than ten times that of normal lava above.
Not to mention ordinary plants, even normal creatures would instantly catch fire if they approached!
Yet, these strange vines were unaffected and sank directly into the lava pools.
"Glug, glug, glug..."
Bubbles rose continuously inside the lava pool, and ripples spread across many lava surfaces.
"Chi chi chi..."
In just a few seconds, something even more astonishing happened to Ignis and the Mag Clan members.
Abe Akaya’s vines quickly floated up from under the lava pools and rapidly connected upward.
In a short moment, the vines covered the lava pools like floating duckweed!
"Move."
Fang Heng said, stepping first onto the vine-covered surface, and continued forward.
"Ah, this..."
Ignis wanted to say that the lurking creatures inside the lava pools would attack them anytime, but seeing rows of Lickers already stepping onto the vines ahead of Fang Heng without being attacked at all, he kept silent.
"Glug, glug..."
Looking closely, ripples continuously appeared on the lava surface beneath the vines, along with rising bubbles.
The Mag Clan members looked at each other nervously.
They could feel that a fierce battle was raging unseen beneath the lava pools.
Clearly, the vine plants controlled by Fang Heng had gained the upper hand.
In fact, this was indeed the case.
Hints flickered repeatedly on Fang Heng’s retina display.
[Hint: The player’s Abe Akaya killed a Lava Lurker.]
[Hint: The player’s Abe Akaya killed a Lava Lurker...]
The creatures hiding in the lava pools were a special species called Lava Lurkers, naturally adapted to the high-temperature lava environment, adept at hiding in the dark and ambushing, making them hard to deal with.
But they happened to encounter Abe Akaya.
Abe Akaya had absorbed hell power and was completely immune to hell lava damage.
He directly entered the lava pools from the ground, starting to hunt down the Lava Lurkers.
All the survival methods of the Lava Lurkers failed.
They were quickly entangled layer by layer by Abe Akaya’s vines, dragged to the ground, and completely converted and absorbed.
Abe Akaya’s vines also spread across the lava pool surface, completely blocking the Lava Lurkers’ escape routes, helping Fang Heng’s group to pave the path.
Previously, whenever Ignis passed through hell’s fifty-eighth layer, he was always fearful of being discovered by the Lava Lurkers, spending at least three hours each time.
But today, it took only ten minutes.
Until they reached the entrance to the fifty-ninth layer of hell, Ignis looked back again.
The path behind them was already completely covered by the roots of Abe Akaya’s vines.
Terrifying creatures!
Ignis was secretly shocked.
When he turned back, Fang Heng was staring at him.
Ignis shrank his neck and hurriedly said, "Sir, starting from the next layer, most areas are occupied by Mad Demons."
"Mad Demons are the product of hell’s will fused. It is said that the souls of sin lie within them. They are bound by hell’s power and have lost their godly will, becoming monsters controlled by slaughter. They cannot be communicated with. Sometimes, even without invaders, Mad Demons will kill each other."
"Also, as the layers deepen, the number and strength of Mad Demons increase gradually."
Ignis tried to dissuade Fang Heng from continuing down, adding, "Moreover, starting from the lower layers, the aura of hell also thickens rapidly. Prolonged exposure..."
"Mm, I know. Let’s go."
Fang Heng raised his hand to interrupt Ignis, nodded lightly, and stepped into the lower passage.
As soon as they entered, a strong, bloody stench rushed into Fang Heng’s nostrils.
Looking up, the fifty-ninth layer of hell was covered by a faint red mist.
Countless withered Mad Demons with glowing red eyes slowly appeared from the red fog.
"Whoosh! Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"
Led by someone unknown, a dense mass of Mad Demons suddenly accelerated and crazily lunged at Fang Heng.
"Hmph."
Fang Heng snorted coldly, showing disdain.
He coldly stared ahead and lightly raised a hand.
The lifeblood power stirred!
The Mad Demons rushing at him were controlled by the lifeblood power; their bodies suddenly levitated uncontrollably into the air. They twisted and struggled violently midair before bursting into bloody pieces one by one.
"Chi, chi chi..."
Abe Akaya’s vines also quickly emerged from the teleportation passage behind, cooperating with the many Lickers flooding into the battlefield to rapidly spread a vine-constructed path forward.
Ignis waited in the upper layer for a moment before carefully leading his clan into the lower layer.
Seeing the scene below, Ignis was again shocked.
The vine plants continued cooperating with the Licker creatures, crushing the Mad Demons all the way!
But...
How did they do it?
