About ten miles to the east of Ninth Town, hundreds of Knights had set up a perimeter near a small forest. Some Farmer had also gathered nearby, discussing something in a low voice.
In the morning, a few Farmer had come here to tidy up a piece of wasteland. While they were busy, they suddenly heard a thunderous sound, and the ground shook violently. Then, they saw a black hole appear in the ground. The Farmer was scared, and quickly reported it to the Knights.
Logically speaking, this was not a big deal. The key was that the hole was too big. It had a diameter of about 50 meters, and it was so dark that the bottom could not be seen. It was faintly emitting cold air.
Han Jin frowned. The hole was definitely not formed naturally. The wall was very smooth, like a mirror, and it was straight up. The smell coming from the hole made him very uncomfortable.
Moxinke casually picked up a fist-sized gravel from the ground and threw it into the hole, but there was no response for a long time. The crowd couldn't help but feel astonished that the hole was too deep.
"Are you crazy? The smell of darkness is so strong here. Are you trying to kill us all? "Sassoux said angrily.
"Is it that serious?" Morrisons said unhappily. "I think you should change your profession and become a Bard. It's just a hole. Why are you making such a fuss?"
"What do you mean by the smell of darkness?" Han Jin was interested in Sassoux's words.
Sassoux glanced at Han Jin. "Haven't you heard about the legend of the Abyss?"
"It's just a legend. Only you can take it seriously." Morrisons caught Sassoux's faulty wording and curled his lips.
"Listen to Sassoux. The legend of the Abyss is real," Sunier said.
Moxinke straightened his neck and was about to say something, but suddenly he felt a sharp pain in his waist. It turned out that Sylner had pinched him from behind. He immediately shut his mouth.
"A long time ago, all the races got along well. Although there were some small disputes, there was never a large-scale conflict." Sassoux said slowly, "Until one day, the Abyss Race suddenly rushed to the surface. Their cold-bloodedness and violence brought about earth-shattering changes to the world."
"The Abyssal Race you mentioned is very powerful?" Han Jin asked.
"Their talent is fighting. It is said that it takes at least ten well-trained warriors to kill an adult Tauren. The ancient records say that the Abyss World is full of blood and violence. As long as the Abyss Race can live to adulthood, they are all strong warriors. Those who are weak can only be eliminated. "
"What happened in the end?"
"Although the Abyss Race is strong, they are lacking in numbers. Under the threat of extinction, the races on the surface gave birth to heroes who could create miracles. For example, War God Abraham, Holy Knight Gotha, Elf Messenger Doreen, Mountain King Dantin, and at the critical moment, the Dragon Race also joined the war." Sassoux became very excited when he talked about the legends of the past. "The Abyss Race suffered heavy losses and had no choice but to retreat to the underground."
"According to the records of the Elven Race, the reason for the Abyss Race's defeat was an internal rebellion." Sunier said slowly, "When the Abyss Race's kings fought on the surface, one or more of them united and seized control of the underground. To be exact, the Abyss Race was not defeated. Those kings voluntarily gave up the war because they knew that their roots were underground."
"No matter what the reason was, we won in the end," Sassoux said.
"There is a legend on this continent that whoever can go deep into the underground world and obtain the Evil Horn will have the power to look down on the entire continent," Léger said.
"There are people who believe that?" Han Jin asked, puzzled. According to his opinion, even if there was such a thing as the Evil Horn, it should have fallen into the hands of the Abyss Race long ago. Why would it just sit there and wait for people to get it?
Sassoux smiled. "Since it is a legend, it means that it has been around for a long time. There are bound to be people who believe it. The young Zagunéd was one of them. When Zagunéd went, no one thought that he could come back alive. However, to everyone's surprise, not only did Zagunéd come back from the underground world safe and sound, he also brought back a group of vampires. These are his current Vampire Guard. With the help of the vampires, he was able to establish such a large foundation. "
"But don't the people on the surface hate the Abyss Race? According to what you said, how could Zagunéd be safe and sound until now? "
"At that time, the races on the surface were able to unite because the Abyss Race was too bloody. They attacked all life that appeared in front of them without reason. This made all the races at that time feel a sense of crisis because no one knew who the next misfortune would befall." Sassoux said, "Although Zagunéd loved to kill, he was not without reason. The people in his territory could not resist his tyranny, and the people in other territories could not taste his bloodthirstiness. Moreover, the situation on the continent is so chaotic now. Without enough benefits, who would take the initiative to attack Zagunéd, a mad dog that would bite people? "
"Are the dark elves also an Abyss Race?" Han Jin asked curiously.
"No! We just have different beliefs! "Sunier said with some displeasure.
"Then what is with this big hole? Is it a passage from the Abyss Race to the surface? "Seeing that Sunier was a little unhappy, Han Jin changed the topic without leaving a trace.
"This is not the first time this kind of hole has appeared. Some people said that it can lead to the underground world, and some said that it can't. However, the truth is not something that I can know."
"If it can really lead to the underground world, does it mean that the Abyss Race can also come to the surface through it?"
"Even if they can, it won't be now." Sassoux shrugged.
"Then why are you so nervous? Since they don't dare to come up, why are you so anxious?" Morrisons muttered at the side.
"They don't dare to appear on the surface in a large scale, but if there is really an Abyss Race below and they are alarmed by you, they can definitely return to the depths of the hole after killing us. The powerhouses in the Abyss are not something that we can fight against now. You can imagine it just by looking at those Vampires!" Sassoux said seriously.
"Forget it, let's just seal the hole and leave this place." Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Han Jin quickly persuaded.
Under Léger's command, the Knight ran into the forest, cut down a lot of trees, and dragged them to the side of the hole. Suddenly, Sunier frowned and said, "Wait, don't move!"
"What's wrong?" Sassoux was stunned.
"I feel … there is someone down there."
Han Jin took out a piece of paper from his space ring and folded it into a paper crane. He drew a talisman and hit it on the paper crane. The paper crane suddenly became a living creature, spreading its small wings and silently sliding down the wall of the hole.
Everyone took a few steps back and left the edge of the hole. After a while, Han Jin suddenly opened his eyes and said softly, "There is someone down there!"
"Who is it?"
"I don't know. I'll go down and take a look later." Han Jin looked at Léger.
Léger understood and called over a few Knights. He gave the order in a low voice. The Knights dispersed the Farmer in the distance, while Sunier and the others surrounded Han Jin.
Han Jin had mastered some very special magic. Sunier, Léger, and the others had already reached a consensus. This was everyone's secret, and they had to make sure that no one else knew about it!
"Raphael, can you do it by yourself?" Sunier whispered.
"Don't worry. Maybe my fighting ability is not as good as yours, but when it comes to escaping, all of you combined are not as good as me." Han Jin laughed.
"How about … I go down with you." Morrisons smiled mischievously. "I have two lives. Even if I jump down, your magic will protect me." Morrisons had been enchanted with the Faked Earth Corpse for a while now. At first, he didn't feel anything, but after a while, he couldn't help but feel curious. He really wanted to know the specific effects of the spell, but unfortunately, he didn't have the chance to die.
"As you wish." Han Jin glared at Morrisons. "If you dare to waste my magic, I won't help you for three years."
"Why do you need three years? How about three days? "Morrisons tried to negotiate.
Han Jin didn't want to continue arguing with Morrisons. Seeing that the Knights had already turned around according to Léger's order, he shrank his body and disappeared into the ground.
The next moment, Han Jin appeared underground. He hid behind a huge rock and held his breath, quietly listening to the movements in front of him.
"Damn it," an angry voice said. An exasperated voice said, "I told you not to move. Why didn't you listen?"
"Who would've thought that the magic circle could only be activated once!" another voice argued.
"Nonsense! How long has this underground city been sealed? "the person in front said angrily." Is the energy of the magic crystal endless?! "
"Stop arguing." Another voice rang out. "Immediately think of a way to seal this hole!"
"What can we do? I don't have any magic crystals to replace it anyway. And it's too late. There were many people above just now. They must've noticed us. Let's wait for Master Zagunéd's anger! "
At this moment, a pair of blood-red lights rose up and rushed toward the place where Han Jin was hiding.
"Enemy! Black Raven found the enemy! "
Han Jin touched the ground with his toes and rushed out from behind the rock. He raised his hand and cast a Pure Light Charm. In the white light, he saw three monsters standing in front of him. Two of them looked like humans, but they had a pair of long, twisted horns on their heads and looked extremely ferocious. The last one was a real monster, like a jellyfish floating in the sea. It had an egg-shaped body with a dozen tentacles. Its body was covered with scales, but there were no organs, such as eyes, nose, and so on. There was nothing on its body.
