The secret passage that Nitotep mentioned wasn't actually a secret passage. It was just an underground tunnel.
There wasn't even a door that led to this tunnel.
If one wanted to enter this tunnel, they would have to break through the ground.
Although Iyadese knew that there was a tunnel underground, it remembered that it was covered with runes. Even the slightest damage would cause the runes to backfire. These runes were set up by the Scholar of Cruelty. Even if Iyadese didn't die from the backlash, it would be very difficult for him.
This was the first time that Iyadese had heard of a pipeline without an inscription hub.
"Follow me. This tunnel isn't near the Void Tower. It's at the edge of the Shadow Fog Zone." Nitotep said as she took the initiative to lead the way.
Iyadese was happy to hear this. If it wasn't near the Void Tower, it meant that they wouldn't encounter those powerful beings. The black shadows at the edge of the Shadow Fog Zone were more like sentinels. They weren't that powerful.
While Nitotep was leading the way, she also exchanged information with Iyadese.
"Komodo took those two idiots' blood cocoons to the Demonic Blood Pool. It should be safe for now." Although the Demonic Blood Pool existed because of Rasudran, it wasn't in the real world. It was in another dimension. Even if a human wizard wanted to locate it, it would take a long time to find it. Unless it was like the Chaos Magic Cannon, which could destroy countless dimensions at the same coordinates. Still, Nitotep could tell that the human wizards couldn't have too many Chaos Magic Cannons.
Nitotep briefly explained the situation outside and asked, "The Shadow Fog Zone was created because the seal in the basement was broken. Do you know who did it?"
"Only Jupiter can do it, but there's no reason for him to open the seal in the basement. So I'm worried that there might be a human who tried to lure Jupiter. "
Iyadese's answer was almost the same as Nitotep's guess. However, Nitotep still had some doubts. "If it was done by a human, how did he find Jupiter in the Void Tower? Also, there are many checkpoints in the Void Tower. Once a human enters, he will definitely be discovered by Jupiter. "
"We will only know the answer after we enter the Void Tower." Iyadarsai sighed.
"Anyway, whether Jupiter did it or not, all of this must have something to do with that idiot!" Nitotep said somewhat viciously. The so-called Seven Seats of the Great Void Pagoda were either idiots or fools. There were even some who were insufferably arrogant. It sometimes wondered if it should continue to stay in Rasudran.
With their own thoughts, they proceeded forward for a short distance.
Nitotep's nose suddenly twitched. "Do you smell blood?"
"I smell it. Isn't it normal to smell blood?" When it was wandering in the Shadow Fog area, it had smelled the smell of blood many times, but it did not feel that something was wrong … Or rather, it would be strange if there was no smell of blood in the Demon City.
"It's the smell of demon blood." Nitotip said, "Judging from the intensity of the smell of blood, he should have died not long ago."
"Not long ago, the demons outside should have been killed by those shadows when they entered the Shadow Fog area to explore." Iyadarsai remembered that when it asked the demons outside, they said that many demons had entered the Shadow Fog area, but none of them had returned. They must have all died at the hands of the shadows.
Nitotep suddenly paused, looked at a certain place, and then slowly walked over.
There was a pool of blood on the ground, and the smell of blood it had smelled earlier came from here. Next to this pool of blood was a trident inserted into the ground.
"Even if they were killed by the shadows, so many demons came in to explore, but not a single corpse was seen." As Nitotep spoke, she pulled out the trident. There were no scars on the trident. What did this mean?
An image flashed through Nitotep's mind: a demon cautiously entered the Shadowmist area, and was about to explore the surroundings when it was killed by a black shadow. Its weapon, a trident, was thrown high into the air, and after spinning a few times in the air, it stabbed into the ground. After the demon died, a large amount of blood flowed out of the wound, staining the ground …
These images were Nitotep's speculations and imagination. However, according to the current environment and situation, it was very likely to be true. But the strange thing was that there was a pool of blood and a trident here, but its corpse was gone?
Nitotep's words stunned Iyadarsai. Ever since it came to the Shadow Fog area, it had not seen a demon corpse, but it smelled the smell of blood from time to time.
"Could it be that these shadows can corrode corpses?"
Nitotep shook her head, and a light flashed in her eyes. "No, haven't you discovered the true faces of these shadows?"
True faces? They were shadows with the naked eye, but with the spirit sense, they had various forms. Wasn't this their true faces?
Nitotep shook her head. "These shadows all have the aura of that Demon God."
Iyadarsai was stunned for a while before suddenly reacting! When it saw the Abyssal Dragon before, it vaguely felt that it was familiar. Now that Nitotep mentioned it, it remembered why it was so familiar!
It was because the aura of the Abyssal Dragon and the Void Tower were exactly the same. The Abyssal Dragon was beside the Void Tower, and it even felt like it was one with the Void Tower!
And the power of the Void Tower itself was — Inscription!
Could it be that all the shadows here were actually products of Inscription?
Iyadarsai had been to the Face of Sinful Desire before and saw some wizards using modified Inscription Cards. These Inscription Cards sealed all kinds of things, including supernatural creatures.
It was very similar to the situation in the Shadow Fog area!
Thinking about it again, the basement of the Void Tower was personally arranged by the Scholar of Cruelty, and everything was clear!
"They are all Inscriptions!" If the Core was not destroyed, then as long as there was enough energy, it would revive. This also matched the records on the murals.
"Yes, because their bodies are Inscriptions, they are even more difficult to deal with." Nitotep sighed. The Void Colossus had stood for so many years, and the devices at the top of the tower had absorbed so much Void energy that it was impossible to tell how much it had absorbed. With so much energy, these runes could be continuously revived until the intruder was exhausted to death.
It could only be said that this was indeed the work of the Scholar of Cruelty.
After understanding that these shadows were Inscriptions, the previous question was at a dead end. The Inscriptions definitely did not need demon corpses, so these demon corpses must have disappeared for some other reason!
Nitotep and Iyadarsai looked at each other. "Could it be that this external factor is the reason for the Shadow Fog area?"
"Could it have been Jupiter who did it? Jupiter seems to have a habit of eating demon corpses, right? "Iyadarsai asked.
"Even if that fool eats demon corpses, he would still pick the ones with the freshest meat." Nitotep sneered. "For example, the succubus Panasi who was flirting with the trolls outside."
At the mention of this, Iyadarsai's face darkened.
Nitotep did not continue to provoke Iyadarsai. After all, among the Seven Great Demons, Iyadarsai was probably the only one who understood reality more. However, he was just like Odesinos, obsessed with Panasi.
"There must be an external factor, and it is this external factor that caused the Void Tower to change. However, it is hard to say what this external factor is. We can only be sure after entering the Void Tower. " Nitotep paused. "We're almost there. The pipe without the Core is just ahead."
Nitotep and Iyadarsai stopped behind a building.
The reason why he stopped was because there were two black shadows near the corresponding ground of the pipeline.
The target was a domed building. If they wanted to break through the ground to get to the secret passage, they had to enter the domed building. However, the two shadows were on the roof of the domed building.
It was almost impossible to enter the building without alerting them.
"I have to get rid of these two shadows, and I have to do it quickly." After deciding on a plan, Nitotep followed Iyadarsai's example and closed her eyes to observe the true appearance of the two shadows with her spiritual sense.
When in shadow form, it was impossible to sense their power and energy waves. Only by seeing their true appearance with spiritual sense could she judge their strength.
What surprised them was that the two shadows corresponded to the true appearance of an abyssal native and an eagle.
The abyssal native looked like an old man who had experienced the vicissitudes of life. He closed his eyes and sat cross-legged on the roof, wearing an ancient robe and holding a wooden staff in his hand.
The eagle looked no different from an ordinary eagle, but it wore a handmade feather crown on its head.
"Hey, I can't see his aura?" Iyadarsai stared at the native. The eagle next to him seemed to complement the native, just like the one riding a leopard they met before.
Iyadese turned to look at Nitotep, only to find that her brows were furrowed and she looked nervous.
"I can't feel its aura either." Nitotep knew very well that the Scholar of Cruelty couldn't leave behind ordinary inscriptions, so she couldn't feel the aura of this native, which showed that he wasn't simple.
"How can a native be so strong?"
"Put away your prejudice. Have you ever thought that a half-blood demon could become an overlord? " Nitotep sneered. "Moreover, the Scholar of Cruelty's inscriptions must have a basis. Maybe this native was someone before the fall of the gods."
"What you said makes sense, but instead of guessing whether he's strong or not, it's better to try it ourselves."
Iyadarsai and Nitotep began to discuss countermeasures, but at this moment, Nitotep suddenly said, "Do you feel that the eagle seems to be looking at us?"
