Chapter 465: The Devil’s Prison Cave

The Hell Demon Cave is essentially a lava space located underground in a courtyard in the Principality of Twaka. Under the weathered hilly terrain of the courtyard, there live many hell demons with bad personalities.

These hell demons would come to the surface through underground tunnels to hunt prey, whether it was humans or monsters. Once caught by them, the prey would be dragged into the underground devil's cave filled with surging magma and imprisoned to death.

Mu Hua came to this courtyard through the portal opened by the key. There was no monster wilderness as he had imagined, nor was it a heavily guarded human city. Instead, it was a garrison of thousands of people, which was a team of the Fire Brigade stationed here to hunt hell demons.

The aroma of stewed meat was mixed with the smell of gun oil. The combatants in the base were mainly gunners and shooters. Because Lao Liu accompanied Mu Hua to arrive through the portal, Mu Hua initially felt some itchy gazes on his temples, but no one came forward to question him.

"Mu, are you sure you don't need to arrange for some people to go with you?"

"The hell demons are not friendly to necromancers. They can restrain most spellcasters." Nodding to some people who greeted him from afar, and confirming that Mu Hua was going to the devil's cave, Lao Liu asked Mu Hua with a little respect.

Perhaps because he was a necromancer, Lao Liu was more respectful to Mu Hua than ordinary people. After Mu Hua's repeated requests, he stopped addressing Mu Hua with titles such as "Your Majesty".

This situation is also very common in the necromancer mutual aid group. Especially after Mu Hua released some ghosts for the necromancers to recruit, some necromancers have already submitted applications for immigration to the city of Caines.

However, those applications were temporarily intercepted by Ingrid. Mu Hua did not object to this. He just comforted the necromancers in the group and said that he would make arrangements after the city of Caines stabilized.

There is no way. Although these necromancers just want to find a place where they can live freely, some of their cognitions are very rigid.

Including Lao Liu in front of him, they can abide by the laws and regulations of the human world, but many times they really don't regard ghosts as "people".

Mu Hua could send some ghosts out to fool them, but he didn't dare let them do whatever they wanted in his own territory, at least he couldn't let them do whatever they wanted to these ghosts who retained their imperial citizenship.

If you are too lenient with the necromancers in these mutual aid societies, there will be problems. If you are too strict, they will not help each other and may even hurt each other. So before the city of Caines becomes established, it is better to keep some distance for the time being.

At least until Mu Hua believes that he is worthy of the title of "Your Majesty", it is necessary to maintain a certain distance.

"Hehe, I'm ready to flash and run away at any time, and I'm also ready to launch the Death Doom when the time is right. Let's forget about traveling together." Mu Hua smiled and shook his head at Lao Liu's kindness.

Flashing away is secondary. The most important thing is that the fate of death is a bit scary. No matter whether what Mu Hua said is true or not, Lao Liu twitched his eyes and even asked someone to find a life identification device for Mu Hua to prevent him from spreading death near his own team.

Mu Hua said he wanted to get the Hell Demon Chain, and Lao Liu suggested that he buy it directly.

But putting aside the fact that Mu Hua needed a lot of Hell Demon Chains, he also wanted to see the effects of those chains when the Hell Demon was alive, and to try what the Hell Demon could melt. After all, he didn't come here just for a few chains.

He told Mu Hua to be careful. Lao Liu was not planning to go with Mu Hua. He didn't like the Hell Demon. It was said that the environment in the Hell Demon Cave severely restricted the performance of the Necromancer.

It was more like a dungeon than a devil's cave. Under the guidance of Lao Liu, Mu Hua came to a blocked underground entrance.

The stairs that could accommodate three or five people walking side by side extended downwards, as if reaching the center of the earth. Mu Hua floated down along the stairs, in the winding underground cave. After more than ten minutes, he still could not see the end of the stairs.

As Mu Hua went deeper, the temperature around him began to gradually rise. After falling for another ten minutes, when Mu Hua walked out of a crack in the stone wall, the darkness was no longer there. The empty cave in front of him was filled with orange-red lava tones.

Open yet narrow, the topography here has very contradictory characteristics: the horizon is endless, yet the height of the space is very limited.

Inside the cave, there are floating islands that seem to be made of rough rocks, and under the floating islands, a large area of ​​activated magma forms a flame swamp like a sea of ​​fire.

The cave has a low ceiling, and the stalagmites and stalactites with a large amount of mineral deposits add a sense of mystery to the cave.

Looking out at the vast expanse, there are endless views. Some narrow stone bridges span the sea of ​​magma, connecting pieces of land that seem to be floating on the sea of ​​fire.

The low cave ceiling makes it basically difficult for large creatures to live here. Even if Mu Hua releases the magic dragon, they will find it difficult to move freely in such a low space.

Hell. I guess many people’s first impression of this place is like seeing hell.

Especially when Mu Hua appeared here, the screams of dying ghosts continued to be heard from the ocean of magma.

There are actually living creatures in this sea of ​​fire, and those living creatures are dying frequently.

Because jealous ghosts appeared here, those dead creatures gave birth to ghosts, but those ghosts faced swamp-like fiery magma when they were born, so the ghosts would die again as soon as they were born.

The vocal music of hell began to play with the arrival of Mu Hua. The originally hot and oppressive environment became gloomy because of Mu Hua's arrival. Under the lava, the dying screams of the ghosts broke the heavy tranquility here.

Noisy and weird, Mu Hua walked along the narrow passage on the stone wall and came to a stone bridge. Although he had not seen the Hell Demon yet, Mu Hua no longer liked this place very much.

The stone bridge connects to a floating island hundreds of meters away. Further away, there are countless similar structures, which are interconnected and intertwined, making this place look like both a maze and a beehive.

It seemed like a naturally formed bridge. Mu Hua squatted down, reached out his hand and pinched the bridge surface, breaking off the broken stones. Mu Hua's eyelids twitched.

Is this really a naturally formed stone path? They are not solid. It seems that if you want to hunt demons here, you need the ability to fly.

Because there is a sea of ​​​​magma under these stone roads. If it collapses, he will inevitably be "killed" if he cannot fly. The sea of ​​​​magma is full of sticky magma. Mu Hua has found another way to kill himself, such as sinking himself into the magma.

He was not afraid of the high temperature of the flames here, he could even breathe flames. However, inhaling and exhaling fire elements and filling his trachea with magma were obviously not the same thing, and he still could not get rid of the need to breathe.

No, the flame windbreaker might give him some breathing space in the magma, and as long as he doesn't get too deep, he can escape with Flash. Well, it seems that it's not that easy to kill him.

However, Mu Hua was not sure what was under the magma. Stepping onto the stone bridge, with the help of the floating wind, Mu Hua quickly rushed to the floating island in front.

These stone bridges made him feel very insecure. He wanted to flip the brand of the flame windbreaker, which was a very impractical magic that he had hidden for a long time.

"Haha~~, new here? Don't be afraid, there are iron chains in this stone bridge, so it won't collapse. Even if it collapses, you can still fly on the lava. The legend of the mutant Kraken is just to scare people, haha."

Mu Hua ran across the stone bridge and saw a human settlement with many tents. Several adventurers who happened to see Mu Hua rushing over teased him.

The floating island in front of us is not big, less than one square kilometer, which is equivalent to a relatively flat hill.

Several flags of different styles were erected in areas where tents were concentrated. It seemed that the entire floating island should be an area for adventurers to rest.

"Zach, shut up." A middle-aged man wearing hunting clothes made of fire salamander leather stopped the teasing of several people and walked quickly towards Mu Hua.

He was a member of the Fire Brigade, and he had received a notice earlier that a ghost had come down.

Although Mu Hua was wearing a cloak, the screams of ghosts in the magma seemed to be proclaiming Mu Hua's identity.

"Mr. Mu Hua?" The middle-aged man approached and asked Mu Hua tentatively.

"Yeah." Mu Hua nodded.

"Ahem, sir, this is the map the captain asked me to prepare for you. If you don't want to be disturbed, there are basically no adventurers after the floating island with records in the west."

The middle-aged man handed over a miniature projector that contained a map of the locations of various floating islands and stone bridges, and spoke carefully to Mu Hua.

"Well, thank you." Taking the map projector, facing the middle-aged man's expectant eyes as if he was sending away the plague god, Mu Hua thanked him and left.

Well, what this middle-aged man is afraid of is not the jealous ghosts and gods. If he does not take the initiative to attack, the jealous ghosts and gods' supernatural powers will be more inclined to defend and counterattack.

Compared to ghosts like Lust, Greed, and Gluttony, the jealous ghost who has a good relationship with his family is not that scary.

But there might be a being that can bring death upon Mu Hua, which would be quite scary.

It was strictly emphasized that we should try to keep a distance of more than one kilometer from Mu Hua, so as to prevent Mu Hua from going crazy and letting his teammates be swept by the fate of death.

Looking at Mu Hua's back as he walked away to the west, the middle-aged man let out a long sigh. Several adventurers who had been scolded by him before came up to ask questions. Soon, the news of the arrival of ghosts and gods spread throughout the camp.

Some people exclaimed in curiosity, some people didn't like to gossip, and the several different adventure teams in the camp were very tacit at this moment, and everyone avoided the direction where Mu Hua left.

Not to mention the fate of death, many adventurers still don't want to become ghosts after death.

Ghosts and gods, those guys are really not lovable. (End of this chapter)
