The location of the Earth Source Fragment was a bit familiar.
Red Rock Mountains, Golden Palace.
Red Rock Mountains was one of the largest mountains in the human world. The area covered by the mountains was quite large, spanning eight kingdoms. The real main body was not within these kingdoms, but near the uninhabited desolate area.
Although the number and coverage of the human world's empires and kingdoms far exceeded that of the Demons, there was always a limit. Just like the Demon Realm, there was also a remote wilderness area that was inaccessible.
The main part of the Red Rock Mountains was in the remote wilderness area. Although it was sparsely populated and full of various dangers, it was very rich in resources, especially mineral deposits. Therefore, the cave dwarves who were good at mineral mining chose this place as their base camp and dug out an amazing underground world, the Golden Palace.
The Golden Palace used to be one of the most important sources of mineral deposits in the human world. There was an endless stream of merchants who came to order or exchange materials for minerals. They also opened up a very unique "mineral trade route".
Just more than a year ago, the main mountain of the Red Rock Mountains had an unprecedented earthquake. Even the nearby countries were affected accordingly. The biggest victim of the earthquake was the cave dwarves in the Golden Palace. The underground home that they built with great effort collapsed and was destroyed in the earthquake. The cave dwarves were forced to leave the Red Rock Mountains and migrate to the Black Rock Mountains in the human kingdom, which was the Thick Earth Castle of the hill dwarves.
However, this was only the surface that the outside world knew. After experiencing the events of the Thick Earth Castle and the Stone Fist Village, Chen Rui had already touched the truth of the cave dwarves' "migration" – the abyss.
Chen Rui once destroyed the altar of the abyss in the underground mine of the Thick Earth Castle. He inferred that the culprit behind the disaster of the cave dwarves and the entire evidence was likely to be one of the three masters of the abyss, the Lord of Fear, Sosbach. Speaking of which, he had just fought fiercely with the Lord of Hatred, Quiriana in the Emerald Forest and escaped from death. Now he had to face Sosbach again. This trip to the human world could be described as "fate" with the abyss.
When he was just reborn in the Demon Realm, Chen Rui was powerless. At that time, Higher Demon was already a powerful existence. As his strength grew, the level he reached was also higher. Demon King, Great Demon King, Demon Emperor, and even Demon Overlord who stood at the peak of the world. When he surpassed this "highest" level step by step, he realized that it was just the beginning of a wider world.
In this vaster world, he came into contact with even more powerful opponents, as well as many secrets that were previously unknown to others. The silver box, the Gods, the mystery of the elements, the abyss …
When Chen Rui was still a weak human struggling in the Dark Moon, he was just thinking about how to survive in the midst of so many "demons". He didn't know about the abyss crisis at all. But now that he possessed even greater power and knowledge, and understood just how frightening the Chaos Abyss was to the entire world … he couldn't just stand by and watch.
He didn't want to be a savior, he just wanted to live with the people he cherished.
When the Fire Elemental King Ogmarton passed by the Red Stone Mountains many years ago, he sensed that there was a special fire elemental movement in the underground volcanoes here. Then, he discovered some strange fire elementals in the underground volcanoes. These elementals were not elementals, and they did not have independent consciousness. As he continued to go deeper, the Fire Elemental King was surprised to feel the breath of the power of the law of the earth origin. He concluded that the origin fragment of earth should be somewhere underground. This location happened to be in the direction of the Golden Radiance Underground Palace above ground.
In addition to the breath of the earth origin, the Fire Elemental King also noticed an extremely dangerous and terrifying breath nearby. It was full of hostility which was far from what he could resist. Therefore, Ogmarton gave up the intention of continuing to explore.
The Golden Radiance Underground Palace was originally in Chen Rui's itinerary, but now that there was the whereabouts of the origin fragment of earth, and "Arthur" had disappeared mysteriously due to some incident during this time, this trip to the Golden Radiance Underground Palace was imperative.
Not only did Rolla go with him, but Paglio and Dodo were also there. The poison dragon was stimulated by Rolla becoming a Demi-God, so he clamored to "level up" with her. Although Dodo did not have any ambitions, in the eyes of a foodie, the most terrifying thing was not the abyss, but not being able to eat and drink well with his master.
Just like that, one person, two dragons, and one insect trekked all the way into the Crimson Stone Mountains.
Although the earthquake had passed for more than a year, the damage left behind was still quite obvious. There was generally no magic map in the remote wilderness. Due to the "ore trade route", it was not difficult to get a detailed relevant map. A few days later, Chen Rui and others arrived at the main mountain range and found the location of the Golden Radiance Underground Palace marked on the map.
The Golden Radiance Underground Palace was a palace on a huge mountain wall. The scale was not too large, and the style was square and simple. Chen Rui had seen the iron tree spark house forged by the hill dwarves, and he had also seen the underground mine dug by the cave dwarves. All of them were huge works. He knew that this "palace" was just the entrance to the real Golden Radiance Underground Palace. He could imagine the exaggerated underground world after entering the palace.
Unlike the mountains they passed through earlier, there were no animals in the main mountain range, and the plants were relatively sparse. Most of them were mutated species, showing a kind of strange dead silence.
After everyone entered the entrance of the mountain wall, they found that except for the "shell" of the palace, the passage leading to the underground was all blocked by collapsed rocks.
In fact, there were still many traces of damage and prying in the palace, and the traces looked relatively new. Obviously, before Chen Rui and others came to the Golden Radiance Underground Palace, more than one group of people had come here. Most likely, they wanted to take advantage of the dwarves, but unfortunately, they could not open the collapsed entrance, so they had to give up in the end.
"Watch me!" Paglio stepped on the ground with one foot, and a wave of green quickly spread forward. The poison dragon's poison was indeed very overbearing. Wherever it passed, those huge rocks turned into light smoke and dissipated. Even some unusually strong ores were decomposed into granules and scattered.
The blocked passage slowly concave backward at a speed visible to the naked eye. However, after reaching a certain extent, the speed and "quality" of the concave began to decline significantly, and it could no longer be pushed forward as before. After some relatively loose ores were corroded, the chaos next to them collapsed again, continuing to block the passage.
"No, it's not that the poison can't destroy these ores," Paglio scratched his head, "There's nothing wrong with this palace on the surface, but the deeper you go, the more special power there is, which greatly weakens the power of the poison. There is indeed a problem here!"
Rolla nodded, "When I entered the main mountain area, I felt the abnormal fluctuations of the elements. This area is full of strange power, which has considerable restrictions on the power of perception and even the power of the kingdom. The blocked distance of these passages is obviously quite long, and it is difficult to break through directly. We can only find another way. "
Paglio frowned, "What I'm curious about now is, if it's this level of collapse, how did so many hill dwarves escape?"
"The hill dwarves have lived underground for a long time, so they are naturally very sensitive to some changes in the earth's crust. It is likely that most of their people have evacuated before the disaster came," Chen Rui said, "However, this is just a hypothesis. The more likely hypothesis is that the abyss deliberately released those dwarves in order to erode the hill dwarves and forest dwarves, and then spread the power of the abyss to the surrounding countries step by step. According to Rolla's feeling, the power of the abyss is already everywhere here. Although the intensity is not as strong as the Silver Moon Fairy Capital, there is no seal protection like the elves here. Everyone must be careful. "
Everyone walked out of the palace and tried to directly penetrate the belly of the mountain, but it was easy to make a hole of a few meters, but it was difficult to break through more than ten meters. It was obvious that this place was protected by some kind of power. The more it was so, the more it proved that this place was not simple.
Chen Rui pondered and said, "We are mainly here today for the Earth Source Fragment. As for the abyss behind the Golden Palace … Mainly to investigate the information, try not to alarm it."
"You seem to be a little too cautious?" Paglio said indifferently. He had not personally experienced the battle with the abyss. He felt that all of them were super powerhouses, and there were also Chen Rui and Rolla who were Demi-God combat power. Unless they encountered a Fake God, otherwise, they would be invincible. There was no need to be so cautious.
"The abyss is terrifying." Rolla's short sentence made the poison dragon shut up immediately. If it could make the "madwoman" feel "terrifying", it was definitely a truly terrifying existence.
As for Dodo on Chen Rui's shoulder, he had always been afraid of death as a virtue, so he would not be careless.
Judging from the experience of the Fire Elemental King Ogmarton back then, if there were no special changes, the Earth Source Fragment should still be in the Crimson Stone Mountains. The hostility that made the Elemental King feel fear was very likely the power of the abyss. It seemed that just like the Tree of Nature or the altar of the Nightmare Volcano, the premeditation of the abyss was buried long ago.
If it was allowed to develop, once it erupted, it would be the end of the world.
Rolla looked in another direction, "Now the possibility of entering the Golden Radiance Underground Palace directly is almost zero, then we can consider the route explored by the Fire Elemental King back then. The density of fire elements here is relatively high. I think we should be able to find the entrance to the underground volcano group."
The process of finding the underground palace was not smooth because the interference here was too strong. It took Rolla 7 hours to find a cave in a mountain far away from the Golden Radiance Underground Palace.
The trees in this mountain range were lush, which was completely different from the barren land near the Golden Radiance Underground Palace. The cave did not look like the entrance to an underground volcano no matter how one looked at it.
Chen Rui did not doubt Rolla's judgment. He took out the lighting magic item and walked in first, followed by Rolla. Paglio looked around, muttered a few words, and walked to the back of the team.
It was not that the poison dragon was lazy and deliberately walked at the back, but close combat, magic, and close combat. This was the most suitable simple formation for exploration.
There were many tunnels below the cave, like a small maze. With Rolla's senses, she did not suffer too much trouble. She directly chose the direction and continued to move forward.
About 2 hours later, the humid air began to become dry, and the temperature was gradually rising. After turning a few winding tunnels, the light suddenly brightened, and the eyes were full of fiery red.
Chen Rui's eyes also lit up. The underground volcano, finally found, thanks to Rolla!
The surrounding was flowing with river-like hot magma. The dark brown rocks on the ground looked abnormally solid, but there were many places where they could not stand. They could only jump or fly over.
The further they went, the stronger the feeling of heat was, and the temperature began to become surprisingly high. Even Paglio felt strenuous, let alone Dodo. It was even more difficult for him to bear. He stuck out his exaggerated tongue and kept shouting that it was hot.
Chen Rui didn't care. The "Fire Phoenix Divine Mark" that Duoduo gave him back then could reduce fire damage by 10%, and there was a 10% chance of complete immunity. This heat was nothing to him at all.
Rolla's fingers gently swiped, and the red light on everyone's body disappeared. They felt that the hot suffocating feeling was suddenly reduced a lot. This was the "Fire Manipulation Technique" which could increase the affinity of fire and reduce fire damage.
Dodo was overjoyed, and he called, "Mistress is really handsome." At that time, the floating figures of Chen Rui and the other two suddenly stopped. They saw a huge hand suddenly stretched out from the boiling magma in front of them, scaring the slime.
