Chapter 02: Unknown Journey (2)

To challenge heaven and hell is a long and boundless road.

In any case, for Ritchie, once this road is set on, there is no possibility of turning back. No matter how long or winding it, you can only walk.

Even if it may be doomed, it will be crushed to pieces.

What’s ridiculous is that it’s only four years since Ricci was born in this world.

He is really five years old, and his opponent may be more than 40,000 years old.

No matter which angle it looks, it is a desperate showdown.

However, for Ritchie, despair is never a reason to retreat. Others can be cowardly, but as the son of Paladin Gray, he must have the courage to shake the world.

This is my father’s expectation and my mother’s expectation.

...

In late December of the third year of Silver Moon, after a long journey, Ricci finally arrived at the destination of this trip - a three-dimensional city-state that Ricci had never seen before.

Yes, three-dimensional.

In addition to a complex of buildings on the plain, the body of the city-state is actually on a rock wall up to three kilometers. To be more precise, it also contains a few kilometers deep into the rock wall. From a distance, it looks like an open bloody mouth.

Huge steep stalagmites, as big as hills, either rise from the ground or hang on the dome. They look like insect nests, like fangs, and countless strange buildings are stacked in them. They are like a giant beast that wants to devour everything.

The streets look like marks left by giant underground worms.

The rock wall looks like a whole hollowed-out, and in addition to being crowded with buildings, it is also full of pits.

In addition to countless lights, there is also lava flowing between buildings as lighting objects. This has formed a wonder in the dark underground world, with a strange atmosphere everywhere.

Through the dim light, Ritchie could clearly see the residents on the streets like ants. It has to be said that this ghost place is simply a nightmare for patients with dense phobia.

This is the southeast corner of the outlying island "Abedput" far away from the main underground space.

"Abedpres" means "abandoned land". From the name, you can tell the abyss' view of this land.

It is barren, with almost no useful resources, and has almost no strategic value.

As the sewer of the entire Celtics continent, this place is a garbage dump that gathers various failed works in the abyss, and at the same time, countless abandoned people of all races gather. It is ridiculously difficult to manage. It is even said that there are some paradise lurking here, which can be said to be a lawless place.

However, although this place is full of evil things that demons like, it is obvious that the Demon Lord does not intend to really master the place, but just set up some eyeliners here.

This is also the loophole, and Ritchie's opportunity. As long as he is low-key and cautious enough, he can quietly avoid eyeliner and sneak into here.

Of course, the most important thing is that it is messy enough here.

Taking steps, Ritchie walked down the mountain step by step along the gravel-covered road, and Goblin Browlao followed closely behind.

"My master, are you really going in? I heard that Stalagmites City not only welcomes goblins, but also doesn't welcome zombies very much. Your servant is not questioning your abilities, but you don't seem to be familiar with it..."

"If you don't know how to get into the city, shut up. Or you can leave now, I didn't force you to follow me."

Ritchie threw a cold sentence. Brow shut his mouth and stopped talking.

Different from the human city-state.

Most of the city-states of human beings are densely covered with farmland. However, there is only gravel, not even a grass. It is covered with mushrooms. Mushrooms of different heights and shapes are everywhere, most of which are earthy yellow, and they look like they are pinched out of soil without vitality.

A group of unknown creatures with naked upper bodies were collecting stones from the mine with shovels, and they made neat shouts from time to time.

They have hands and torso similar to humans, but their legs are like wolves, with tails and canine faces, and many earrings on their ears.

"What species is that?" Ritchie asked, standing on the edge of the mine.

"There are many in the city. They are as lowly as the Goblins, but the demons think they are stronger and more obedient." When he said this, Blau seemed a little aggrieved.

"What about that?" Ritchie pointed to the center of the mine, standing on a high ground, "human" wearing a gray linen robe.

"That's a werewolf." Blau whispered: "The lords are usually commanded by werewolf. They regard werewolf as their leader. I heard that if they were on the ground, they would become terrifying giant wolves on full moon nights. But there is no moon underground, so they need to rely on medicine to deform."

Turning his head, Ritchie saw a group of creatures running from the side with baskets larger than their bodies on their backs. They were only Ritchie's knees were tall, with a rat face, and a long tail.

"That's the rat man." Blau said with regret: "They can dig up food accurately and identify which mushrooms are better. Blau also likes to eat the mushrooms they pick, but unfortunately he has to give them money, but Blau has no money. Of course, you can also grab them and start when it's better to pick them alone. Hehehe."

"As a goblin, you know quite a lot."

"Hehe, Blao likes to listen to stories, all kinds of stories. There are always all kinds of things in the stories, so Blao remembers them. In fact, when I came to Stalagmites City, I heard that there were bards and opera houses here... Unfortunately, they did not welcome goblins."

A giant lizard full of goods seemed to be trapped in a pit on the side of the road, and a creature with a tiger face was standing on a high place and scolding the words they couldn't understand.

A group of creatures with fangs and boar-like faces were trying hard to drag the lizard out of the pit.

This is a tiger man and a pig-head man.

As he walked past the tiger man, the tiger man looked at Ritchie in confusion.

Along the way, there were all kinds of strange species, and it felt like I had entered a zoo.

Of course, there are also some ground creatures that Ricci is well-known, such as dwarves, blood elves, wood elves, even blood clans, cyclops, orcs. However, relatively speaking, there are fewer species that Ricci is well-known here.

It is said that in the Second Age, in order to fight against heaven, the Abyss created many species that did not exist in Celticsbon. Among them, excellent works spread all over the place, while failed works were discarded here. Tens of thousands of years have passed, and in the end, many unique ethnic groups have formed here.

As we got closer and closer to the gate of Stalagmites City, there were more buildings around us. However, it was not so much a building as it was a few raised mounds, with only a few more holes. The so-called streets were as rough as the traces of underground worms crawling, and even wrinkles could be seen.

However, there were indeed more creatures on the streets and they began to feel like a city. In some places, they could even be seen gathering in a circle and singing some kind of poetry, but they didn't know what they were doing.

Maybe it is some kind of evil, a ritual for trading with the demons. In the ground world, such things are feared and need to be carried out secretly. But here, it seems to be the norm.

Suddenly, a creature the size of a pig ran over Ricci at an extremely fast speed. It had an exoskeleton like an insect, and had something in its mouth.

The moment he saw the creature, Ricci seemed to be stunned for a moment. When Ricci recovered, the creature had already rushed into the crowd and ran away.

Blao quickly introduced tactfully: "That's the Zerg, my master. It should have been sent by their worms to do business. I heard that there is an opera house in the world that specializes in Zerg plays in Stalagmites City."

"The opera houses of Zerg repertoire... Are there many Zergs in the city?" Ritchie took a step forward.

Blau hurriedly followed, waved his hands, and gestured exaggeratedly: "Blau heard a lot, more than any other resident of the city."

"Why did I hear that you have been in the city?"

"Because... because Zergs generally don't run around. They usually stay in their own territory, or stay with their backworms and jujubes. The backworms and jujubes live in the inner city, and Blao has never entered the inner city. There are also many Zergs in the outer city, but they are not many than other races."

"Inner City." Ricci looked at the towering city gate in front of him from a distance: "Are you talking about behind the city gate?"

"No, not." Blau whispered: "My master, you are still outside the city. After passing the city gate, there is an outer city, and there are also a wall and a gate inside, which is divided into many areas, and after entering, it is the inner city. Many creatures are allowed to enter the outer city, but only a very small number of noble existences are allowed to enter the inner city."

"What creatures can? I mean, those species are allowed to live in the inner city."

"Um..." After thinking about it, Blao replied in a low voice: "Devil, fallen angel, lich, dragon, Zerg, blood clan, um...and, there is the undead lord."

"Is there a lich in it?" Ritchie was stunned.

"No, no, I've never heard of it." Blau quickly explained: "Your servant is that the lich is allowed to live in the inner city. It's not that there is a lich here. Of course, it may be that it is, but Blau has never heard of it. After all... Blau is just a goblin. But I think the lich should not like it either, after all, they all like separate castles. In this way, even if the experiment explodes, they will not be fined by the city manager."

"Okay." Ritchie sighed helplessly.

If there are lichs, you might be able to ask them for help when you encounter difficulties. Unfortunately, before coming, Ricci knew that there were no lichs here.

As for the Undead Lord...

The powerful species that crawled out of the abyss of death are not only lichs, but also the undead lords.

They are not mixed with lichs, they are rare in number, have completely different preferences and habits. Although they belong to the same spirit, they are two species that do not interact with each other.

There are streets that are more than ten meters wide, with a semi-arcous street low in the middle and high on both sides. Both sides are lined with buildings like mounds of soil, and the streets are filled with residents of all races. Most of them are wearing gray outer robes.

Looking at the group of taomen soldiers guarding the city gate from afar, Rich paused, then raised his legs and walked towards them.

Blau wanted to stop it, but it was too late and could only stand there and watch in a daze.

Soon, a long axe crossed in front of Ricci. This was the long axe of a magnificent soldier. He was wearing simple leather armor, and the gap between the leather armor revealed his strong muscles. His height was almost twice that of Ricci.

After looking around, after confirming that the "zombie" in front of him had no "master" followed, the Taurus muttered casually: "Get out."

As he said, holding the long axe, he poked Richie unceremoniously with his blunt side.

However, the stab was caught with one hand by Ritchie.

The Taurus was stunned for a moment, bent down and stretched his head, and looked at Ricky's face wrapped in clothes.

Ricky looked at him expressionlessly and said in the Abyss: "Get out of the way."

The Taurus was startled and quickly took a few steps back with the long axe, then saluted respectfully. The other Taurus around him looked at Ricci in surprise.

Turning back, Ritchie found that Brow was huddling ten meters away and looked at him with wide eyes, full of confusion.

He waved to Blau and signaled him to follow, and then Ritchie took a step and walked through the city gate and continued inside.

Blau hurriedly chased after him with admiration on his face and trotted all the way.

No surprises and no dangers.

The taunt soldiers around them avoided them and saluted respectfully. The residents passing by also stopped and watched.

From afar, Ritchie could clearly hear the discussion between them.

"Why did you let the zombies enter the city?"

"The zombie just spoke."

"Zombies talk?"

"Yes, not only talk, but also speaks as if it is a Deep Word. It should be controlled by a certain undead lord."

"No wonder... these taurens just bully us on their own. How dare they ask about the undead lord?"

Abyss Word is such a good thing.

It has to be said that a society with strict hierarchy also has certain benefits, at least for the infiltrating Richie. As long as they develop the idea that Richie is a "zombie controlled by a certain undead lord", then no one will ask more questions.

Because they dared not, Ritchie didn't even need to explain anything.

Hopefully, it will go so smoothly in the future.
