The demonic portal was surrounded by a large open area. Hao Ren and the rest did not dare to approach it. They could only find a strange black rock a few hundred meters away from the portal to hide themselves, looking for a chance to sneak past.
"That's the portal." Y'zaks took the opportunity to explain the world to the rest. "In this world, at least within the scope of the known world, the space vesicle is the only form of space, and each space vesicle will have more than one natural channel to connect to other spaces, just like the one in front of you. This kind of portal is the most important military hub of each space, and the ruler of each space will send a large number of troops to guard the portal in their territory. Of course, what I'm talking about is limited to natural portals. Artificially opened portals are too random, and usually unstable, and can only last for a short period of time. "
"There are direct portals between the ten demonic planes," Lanina added in a low voice. "The one in front of us leads to the seventh plane, and the other side of the portal is our former territory."
"So, these stable portals are naturally formed?" Nangong Wuyue looked at the magnificent obsidian building in the distance. "Since the portal is naturally formed, then what's the use of the platform below it and the pillars on both sides of the door?"
Y'zaks replied casually, "It's useless, it looks awesome."
Hao Ren was still pondering about the principle of the demonic portal, and now he almost choked on his own blood. The obsidian slabs carved with complex patterns a few hundred meters away looked like some kind of magical creation. Those who did not know the truth might really think that they were holding up the huge space rift. In the end, the dimensional portal was naturally formed, and the demons made so many things just to pretend that they had a big advantage...
"Okay, that's not important now. The important thing is how we're going to sneak past them." Fortunately, there was Vivian among them. The usually calm and reliable vampire maiden coughed twice to make everyone face the big problem in front of them. "There are hundreds of sentries at the gate, and I'm afraid there are even more guards at the guard towers and under the base of the gate. With our combat power... it's impossible to force our way through."
Lanina frowned. "If there are scattered low-level demons, we can still let you disguise as my human servants as we discussed at the beginning, but I'm afraid that won't work here... The stable portal is the key to life and death in every space, and the security is very strict. I'm afraid we'll need Serathon's badge to get through."
Hao Ren looked up at the surrounding Scorching Plains, trying to find a lone Serathon demon to snatch the emblem back. Lanina shook her head and said, "Don't even think about it. It's impossible for the demon guards near the portal to act alone. Besides, they have secret means of communication with each other. It's hard to kill one without anyone knowing."
"Can we use Shadow Invisibility?" Vivian came up with an idea. "The Shadow Energy in this space seems very strong. I can shroud you in the shadow..."
"Demons are very sensitive to Shadow Magic, and there are sensors near the portal. We don't know the form of the sensors, so there's no way to deal with the invisibility." Lanina continued to shake her head. "If it doesn't work, we can only wait for their shift to change, and seize the opportunity to kill the demons who have left the shift. The guards are the least vigilant..."
Before Lanina finished, they suddenly heard a rumbling sound coming from afar like a giant beast running!
Hao Ren looked out and saw dust flying in the distance. Sure enough, a giant beast ran out of the flying dust. It looked a little like a wolf, but it was four to five meters tall. The giant beast's eyes were blood-red, and its face was ferocious. Its sharp teeth were stained with the color of blood, and its body was covered with black and red hair that was as sharp as steel needles. Dark red flames burned in the gaps between the hairs, and it was a daunting sight.
The giant beast ran all the way from the Scorching Plains straight to the portal. The demon guards near the portal were nervous at first, but when they saw that it was just a wild animal, they lost interest. They swayed their bodies lazily and watched the giant wolf run into the demon portal. It seemed to be a very common thing.
"What was that just passed by?" Hao Ren asked curiously.
Lanina looked in the direction of the demon portal and said, "Oh, it's a kind of hellhound, a wild breed, often seen in the Demonic Plane."
Nangong Wuyue was surprised. "Hellhound? Does a hellhound look like that? I remember a hellhound shouldn't be the kind with two heads, magma all over, a stubby head, a mouth full of rotten teeth, and drooling as it runs... "
Lanina nodded. "What you said is also a hellhound, but it's a domesticated breed, specially bred for ornamental purposes. The one that just ran by is a wild breed, its original form is like that. A domesticated hellhound crossed with a wild one will also become like that after three or four generations. "
Hao Ren suddenly felt that the demon's aesthetic sense was really amazing. Two ugly heads were made out of an originally good-looking animal, and they still had the cheek to say that it was for ornamental purposes …
Nangong Wuyue asked curiously again, "Why don't the demon guards care about animals crossing the border?"
"Of course not," Lanina replied. "These natural portals have a history of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years, older than any demon lord. Before it was occupied by a demon lord, it was already a migration channel for wild animals. Many animals even have to pass through the portal to migrate back and forth between several dimensions to complete the process of reproduction. Not only in the Demonic Plane, but also in the dimensions where humans and other races live. Such ancient portals have become part of the ecological cycle, and the guards will not stop animals. "
Vivian thought for a moment, and suddenly looked up at Lily. "I suddenly have an idea..."
Lily immediately felt a chill down her spine, and quickly moved sideways behind Hao Ren. "Battie, what are you doing... I'm warning you, I'm much prettier than that thing that just ran by, don't think about putting it on me..."
Hao Ren turned his head and looked at Lily. He felt that it was time for the husky, who only knew how to eat all day long, to make some sacrifices...
Thirty minutes later, everyone had retreated to the Demonic Foundry. Lily squatted on the ground with a nervous face. "Are you sure this will work?"
Not far behind them lay an extra-large Cerberus, which Lanina had just captured. This kind of creature could be found everywhere in the vicinity, and the Demonic Plane did not lack it. Y'zaks was busy peeling off the hellhound, and Nangong Wuyue was trying to squeeze water from the air to clean up the poisonous blood stains and the strange smell on the fur. The whole scene was very bloody, very not suitable for children, very survival in the wild. Lily turned her head and looked at it, and couldn't help but shiver a little. "... You want to put this thing on me and get away with it? Demons are not fools. "
Vivian patted Lily on the shoulder. "So I have to use my magic to help you put on makeup. Don't worry, there is a branch of Blood Magic that specializes in mimicking other creatures. Naturally, it can also mimic other biological tissues. When the time comes, I will make up for your incongruity..."
Lanina also chimed in. "It's okay, you can't see it. Hellhounds have a particularly high mutation rate. There are often guys who look strange. Sometimes the demons also like to make some strange biological modifications for wild hellhounds. As long as you don't walk upright, the guards will not be suspicious."
Hao Ren glanced at Lily and said, "Don't complain, I still have to let you bite me in your mouth..."
After Lily transformed, she was five meters tall. She looked really huge, but the place to hide people was limited. Even if she was covered with a layer of oversized fake fur, only a few petite girls could be hidden under it. So, Hao Ren and the others had to make a good plan in order to get away with it. The creativity surprised Lanina.
Lily was really helpless. In the end, she could only sigh and hold up her beloved spicy sticks...
A moment later, a silver giant "wolf" appeared in front of everyone. Nangong Wuyue and Lanina immediately put the newly processed hellhound fur on Lily. Vivian used Blood Magic to create a camouflage of festering flesh to help cover up the imperfect places. Then the girls hid under the fur, leaving Y'zaks and Hao Ren standing outside.
Lily looked down and licked Hao Ren. Then, she grabbed both of them by the waist and ran out of the Demonic Foundry toward the Demonic Teleportation Portal in the distance!
The rumbling sound of the giant beast immediately attracted the attention of the teleportation gate guards, but what the demon guards saw was a failed mutated Cerberus running towards them with two humans in its mouth. The scent of the demon and the scent of the humans — it was very normal. So, the guards relaxed their vigilance.
Hao Ren still remembered that he had a line. When Lily ran in front of the Teleportation Portal, in order to show authenticity, he shouted, "Help! It's eating people... "
With a buzz, the "mutated hellhound" rushed into the Demonic Teleportation Portal and disappeared.
Several demon guards at the door looked at each other, and one of them shrugged, "The wild dog's appetite is quite big."
Another smacked his lips, "There are so many humans coming to the Demonic Plane these days."
"Yeah, but most of them are fed to the dogs..."
