"The Twin City Lake is just ahead."
A road vehicle was traveling through the wilderness. The Lost Paradise was shrouded in darkness, and there were two moons hanging in the night sky. One was deep purple, the other was sparkling red. The two moons intersected, creating a magnificent moonlight in the night sky. Under the dreamy moonlight, a large lake could be seen in the distance. The lake reflected the two moons in the night sky, and at the two ends of the lake, one could see two towers that were high above the water.
Allen asked, "Why isn't it called the Twin Tower Lake?"
Barrow replied, "Once, there were two castles there. They were the twin cities, built using the symmetrical construction method. Two brothers lived in the twin cities. They were originally a pair of brothers who lived in harmony, but because of some small matters, they had a dispute and even started a war in the end. The war caused the seawater to flow backwards, submerging the castle and drowning countless creatures. In the end, it became a lake, so we all call it the Twin City Lake. The two towers that Sir is looking at now are the ruins of the former twin cities. "
"Oh." Allen said, "Our guide lives in such a remote place?"
"That guy doesn't like noise, so he lives here. However, I guarantee that he is definitely the best person to go to Planet Bao Ri, because he escaped from that planet."
The road vehicle quickly passed through the wilderness under the night sky, approaching a section of the lake shore, and stopped in front of a building on the shore. This was a spherical building with a smooth surface. There was not a single window. There was only a black door, and a huge shadow suddenly pounced out from the door. It was a lion-like beast. The old man Barrow got off the road vehicle and was immediately pounced on by this beast. Allen immediately reached for the huge sword, but he heard Barrow shout, "It's okay, this is his dog, it's very obedient. Oh, oh, don't lick. My face, damn it, your saliva is really smelly! "
Sure enough, this lion-like beast didn't attack Barrow and only licked his face. Licking his face, a whistle sounded in the building, and the thing ran back. A human figure came out of the house. The dog, which was too big for its own good, lay at the man's feet and wagged its tail.
"Barrow? What are you doing here so late at night? Don't tell me you've made some new wine for me to try? To be honest, those things of yours are terrible. Don't come and harm me. "He walked out of the shadows under the door, and what appeared in the moonlight was a humanoid alien. He looked like a human male in his twenties with a head of grayish-blue hair. His skin was the same color as his hair, and there were light blue scales on his exposed skin.
"What do you know, Brother Luo? You don't know anything about the art of bartending." Barrow shouted, jumped up from the ground, and then said to the alien called Brother Luo, "Business is here, these lords want to go to a place, I wonder if you dare to bring them there."
Brother Luo took something out of the bag at his waist and threw it on the ground. The Pekingese immediately crawled on the ground and started licking it. He laughed and said, "Stop trying to goad me. As long as there's money, I'll go anywhere."
"Then I'll take that as a yes." Barrow blinked. "They want to go to Planet Bao Ri. The reward is two hundred Abyss Crystals."
"What?" Brother Luo immediately jumped up. "Bao Ri? Are they tired of living or something? Not going, not going … Wait, how many crystals did you just say? "
"Two hundred. I've already seen the goods. It's the highest quality Abyss Crystal. Two hundred crystals is enough for you to drink day and night in my shop for ten years! "
"I'm not going to drink your mixed wine. Two hundred. Let me think." Brother Luo paced back and forth and said, "I swear I'll never go back to that damn place again. How about this, add another hundred. I'll go if you add another hundred. If not, forget it. "
Allen didn't even think about it and nodded. "Deal."
Then the space ring shook and Abyss Crystals poured out from it. A total of three hundred Abyss Crystals were stacked all over the ground. Under the reflection of the two moons of the Lost Paradise, these crystals emitted an alluring luster as if they had magic. Barlow then took out his deposit of ten crystals and muttered, "This lord is really generous. He's already paid all the money before even going there. But Brother Luo, I have to remind you, remember to do your job after receiving the lord's money. Otherwise, it won't end well for you. "
Brother Luo laughed. "Don't worry, I still have a bit of a reputation. Barrow, I can't put so many crystals here. Save them for me. If I come back, buy me a piece of land on the outskirts of Fog City. If I don't come back, these crystals are yours. "
Barrow was stunned. "Did I hear wrong? Is this still you, Brother Luo?"
Brother Luo laughed. "I haven't forgotten how you helped me back then, old man. Although friendship is the cheapest thing on this planet, it's still worth some money in my eyes. Besides, I'm just saying in case. Since I can escape from there once, I can escape again! "
Allen said, "Before we leave, can you tell us about Bao Ri? We need to know more about it."
"You do need to know, but before that, you have to tell me where on that planet we're going."
Allen looked at Himir, who shrugged and said, "In fact, we're not too sure about the specific location. We just know that what we're looking for is on that planet. "
Brother Luo smiled bitterly. "It looks like we'll have to stay on that planet for a while. Damn, I knew it wasn't that easy to earn 300 Abyss Crystals."
"It's 310!" Barrow corrected.
"Come in and talk, or go back to Fog City?" Brother Luo asked.
"Since we're here, it doesn't matter where we talk. We have to get ready before we set off. Let's talk here. "Allen walked toward the door first.
Barrow had to go back to Fog City, so Luoya asked him to prepare some necessary tools. There were many things that even Himir had never heard of, but they were all essential things on Bao Ri. Walking into Brother Luo's room, they found out that it was very simple, but the circular spherical building made it surprisingly spacious and didn't seem cramped at all.
Sitting down on a few chairs in the room that weren't exquisite, but they were quite comfortable. Brother Luo looked at Allen and the others and said, "Let me think, where should I start? Well, let's talk about the damn normal state of this planet first. According to the time, Bao Ri will enter the polar day in more than 30 days. That is to say, we'll stay there for about 30 days at most. It's worth noting that there are only 15 hours a day on that planet, so we won't have much time. "
"It's the polar night season now. During the polar night season, the temperature on the surface of the planet is about minus 80 degrees. Believe me, it won't be a pleasant environment. If you stop for even a moment, you'll be covered by the wind and snow. If you pee into the air vent, you'll be frozen into an ice sculpture by your own urine. One of the things you have to do there is to maintain your body temperature. You have to maintain enough body temperature at all times. Otherwise, you'll fall into a deep sleep … "
At the polar day, the high temperature on the surface of the planet will melt the glaciers in just a few days. The ice field will turn into a desert, and the flames will be the master of the planet. No life can survive hundreds of degrees of heat, except for some particularly tenacious life forms deep underground. But what really turned Bao Ri into a dangerous area wasn't the harsh environment of the planet. The real danger of the planet came from the gold diggers, various forces, and the tenacious life forms living underground.
In the Fania Star Sector, people called those life forms Kabulo. In the common language of the Fania Star Sector, it meant the shadow at the edge of hell.
"Those … Kabulo? What do they look like? "Allen asked. He always felt that the name Kabulo was a little awkward.
"You can call them Umbra Demons, Shadow Lords, Shadow Monsters … Whatever you want. Kabulo is already a very old name," Brother Luo said. "Let's call them Umbra Demons for now. These life forms are similar to energy life forms, but they have flesh and blood. They have a core, which is the opposite of most other life forms. We all know that those high-level life forms will form a core of energy aggregation in their bodies of flesh and blood, but Umbra Demons are the complete opposite. Their body is a shadow. They can be very large, or very small, but no matter how their body shape changes, flesh and blood. Their core doesn't change. Their core is their only weakness, so they will use shadows to cover it up as much as possible. They live in the depths of the planet all year round, but they will also be active on the surface of the planet during the polar night season. Snow, shadows, and darkness are all their home ground. During the polar night season, they are everywhere. "
"On Bao Ri, there is a precious mineral vein called Shadow Iron. That is the main food of the Umbra Demons. Gold diggers digging this mineral vein is equivalent to stealing food from the bowl of the Umbra Demons. Therefore, these underground life forms hate outsiders, which has led to continuous war between the gold diggers and the Umbra Demons. Although the gold diggers have large financial groups and forces behind them, the Umbra Demons are very difficult to kill. On the contrary, they are numerous. Therefore, the gold diggers have always been at a disadvantage, which has led to the high price of Shadow Iron in the market. In turn, it has stimulated more gold diggers to go to Bao Ri to take the risk. "
"So you see, this is the place you are going to. It has a harsh environment, and there are dangerous factors like the gold diggers and the Umbra Demons. Although I quite like those beautiful crystals, if you want to go back on your word, I can ask Barlow to return the crystals to you in full. "
Allen glanced at everyone. Since the polar secret map pointed to such a place, it was necessary to go and see. And it sounded like the so-called Umbra Demons were a treasure trove army. Who could guarantee that there was no treasure trove under Bao Ri?
"No, we are going. And don't worry, Mr. Luo, I will ensure your safety, "Allen said in a low voice.
Brother Luo shook his head. He didn't think a stranger could guarantee his safety. Moreover, rather than putting his life in the hands of a stranger, Brother Luo trusted himself more.
Suddenly, a voice that had been amplified by a loudspeaker came from outside the house. "The stranger who killed our captain, get out here right now! Otherwise, we will kill everyone in this house indiscriminately! "
Allen let out a sneer from under the mask. Not many people dared to tell him to "get out" now. On the other side, Brother Luo was shocked. "It's someone from the Abominable One."
