In order to survive, Gong Qiying, who unfortunately became the lord of the Zion Dungeon, had no choice but to build his dungeon extremely "netherworld-like".

Chapter 263 The Burning Black Knight
Chiya flapped his wings, and everyone's vision instantly drew closer to the Eagle City Underground City.
He flapped his wings again, and the silent ancient city suddenly changed its appearance. Evil flames were burning in it, and a group of huge, pitch-black monsters were wreaking havoc in it. These were the burning demons.
Their appearance is particularly consistent with the traditional image of the devil, with a gorilla-like body two or three meters tall, a goat's head and recurved legs, as well as bat wings and a thin black tail of unknown meaning.
Fire burns on their bodies, and only occasionally can their true appearance be seen. Most of the time, they look more fiery than fire elementals.
According to Chiya's explanation, the Eagle City underground city is divided into two parts, above ground and underground. The burning demons above ground are still a minority, while those underground are the majority.
Although Gong Qiying always felt that it was a bit weird to discuss the difference between the ground and underground in the dungeon.
This crusade is also very simple. Chiya will send out a monster named Flame Dragon to continuously absorb the flames of the burning demons. Gong Qiying and his men will be responsible for conquering the fireless ashes (fog) and summoning monsters at will.
Rainbow Horn raised a question: since the Fire Dragon can absorb fire, why did the Burning Demon burn half of the continent in ancient times?
Chiya's answer is:
"Times have changed. The monsters that we can deal with today might have been a disaster in the past."
There was no such thing as a fire dragon when the burning demon was rampaging.
The city lords were ready to go, selecting available monsters with confidence. Only Rainbow Horn took out a group of rainbow unicorns that looked similar to him. The cute unicorns all looked different.
The Lord of the Slime City took out several giant slimes that glowed with cosmic luster, each of which was an absolute elite monster.
The Lord of Hawthorn City created a group of bat-like creatures holding piercing spears and various other weapons. They have different weapons and different body sizes, and it seems that each has its own military division. They are also equipped with water elemental creatures to resist fire.
The Coconut City Lord summoned rock creatures, the largest of which was as tall as the Attack Titan. It was probably because of the rock's ability to not be afraid of fire.
Rainbow Horn looked at what Gong Qiying summoned and said silently, "Is it really enough for you to summon just this little bit?"
Gong Qiying looked at the ten black knights below and said:
"You may not believe this, but these ten combined are invincible and can defeat any boss in the world in one round."
The black knights are all of C+ level, some holding shields and swords, some holding black knight halberds also known as "Guandao", and some holding axes.
Coupled with their awe-inspiring black armor and the God Clan's iconic tall and strong physique, an aura of ruthless men who speak few words suddenly emerged.
Rainbow Horn swallowed his saliva. He felt a very powerful aura from these black knights. He could tell from their posture that they were terribly powerful.
but
"The burning demon has a high temperature. Is it really okay for you to bring out a bunch of tin cans?" asked Rainbow Horn.
No matter how you look at it, it would be difficult for a black knight wrapped in armor to survive the high temperature.
"No problem." He gave a reassuring smile.
How can you say that the Black Knight's body is made of iron? It should be said that it is a masterpiece made by the master forger. Even the Chaos Hotbed can only blacken them, so can the Burning Demon melt them?
However, compared with the grotesque slimes, elegant bat monsters, and majestic rock creatures, this group of black knights looks a bit too plain.
If there were some colorful wing special effects, it would probably suit the aesthetic tastes of these city lords.
"My strong acid slime can melt his tin can in one second." said the Slime City Lord.
No one else said anything, so it was better to just watch quietly at this time.
"Let's start." Chiya said, summoning dozens of dragon-shaped creatures with swollen mouths and necks like balloons, looking somewhat deformed.
The flames from the burning demons were continuously absorbed by them, and soon they also started to burn. Their expressions were hideous and painful, and their vitality was visibly draining away!
Chiya was already creating new fire dragons with an expressionless face, and would summon new ones to take their place after the current batch died.
I thought the so-called Fire Dragon was immune to fire, but it turns out it's just relying on its high fire resistance and strong suction power to withstand it!
The monsters of the five city lords were randomly placed in non-overlapping areas. Those burning demons were already restless because their flames were stripped away, and now they became even more violent when they saw strangers.
Having been trapped in the seal for a long time, they immediately pounced forward with a howl!
Putting aside the never-extinguishing flames, the flesh of each burning demon can be regarded as a small elite. The long-term seal has caused their insanity, and their attacks are disorganized and their ferocity has increased greatly. It is not known whether this is a strengthening or weakening for them.
The Slime City Lord sent out a green slime creature with extremely high defense and flexibility, but it was torn to pieces by its sharp teeth and claws at the first encounter.
The bat monster's heavily armored soldiers also suffered a great loss when they first came into contact. Their heavy shields were either lifted up or smashed, and their formation was suddenly in disarray.
The rock creatures performed better, but when they fought, stone fragments flew everywhere, and they seemed to be at a disadvantage.
Not to mention the rainbow unicorn. Its cute appearance can only make it keep running away, just like a little rabbit thrown into a group of cursed frogs.
"Tap tap tap"
A powerful wave of footsteps was heard, and a high-pitched and magnificent symphony sounded in the middle of the venue. All the city lords, including the burning demons, were stunned.
"What are you doing?" Rainbow Horn stared at Gong Qiying in surprise.
At this moment, Gong Qiying was taking out the sound recording stone and the amplifying stone, and playing background music on the battlefield that he had forgotten where he got it from, from which soul-based BOSS. Anyway, there was a sense of fate in the battle.
And with the blessing of music, the real protagonists appeared on the stage.
The black knight with sword and shield in hand stepped through the thick smoke. A burning demon spotted him and immediately pounced on him with a howl!
The Black Knight moved, simply swinging his shield. This was not a parry, but rather relying on pure physical strength to knock him to the ground!
The pitch-black blade pierced straight into the burning demon's head. The straight sword was twisted amid the demon's screams. A teeth-grinding sound was heard, and the demon's flesh and blood flowed all over the ground!
More demons came upon hearing the noise, wanting to kill the Black Knight, but reinforcements also arrived.
A black meteor flashed by, and the Black Knight's halberd split the three demons in half from head to toe with one move, and blood spurted into the sky!
The black knight holding a big axe turned his body and rushed directly into the group of demons. The blood and flesh immediately formed a tornado!
This team of ten people rushed into the battlefield. The battle scene cannot be said to be easy, but it can still be considered unparalleled.
Compared with others who haven't yet established themselves, this performance is truly outstanding.
Gong Qiying even had a few magicians flying in the sky as air support, and they took the time to accumulate power and throw out magic bombs.
Chiya nodded at his performance, and it was obvious that he was somewhat satisfied.
"No, so strong?" The slime's body was shaking violently. He saw with his own eyes that a demon hit the black knight with great force, but the opponent didn't even move!
Resilience is the reason for being king!
It’s a classic plot segment, but what’s not classic is that other dungeon lords quickly made corresponding adjustments.
A large number of slimes combined into twisted human-shaped mucus. Anything that came into contact with liquid would be melted instantly. The melting speed exceeded the regeneration speed of the burning demon. The demon tried desperately to tear the human-shaped mucus apart, but the opponent actually used the scattered fragments to regenerate several identical monsters. With the blessing of strong acid and explosive speed, the slimes suddenly gained the advantage.
The bat monsters changed their strategy, making full use of their air advantage, the magic of controlling blood and the use of various lethal weapons. With the command of the Hawthorn City Lord, they quickly reversed the situation and for a while they were in a stalemate with the endless stream of burning demons. He then summoned giant bats to rush into the battlefield to break the stalemate.
The rock creatures suddenly changed their body shape and turned into a mixture of mud, sand and rock. They had no fixed form and would drill into the burning demon's body through various holes and burst it alive. The blood and flesh fragments would also become part of the rock creatures, making them grow larger and larger. As long as the core in their body was not destroyed, they would not die.
The biggest contrast is the rainbow unicorn.
It is well known that unicorns like virgins and will go crazy if they are ridden by someone who is not a virgin, and rainbow unicorns have this characteristic magnified.
When a female burning demon rode on the rainbow unicorn, the unicorn's pure white and slender body suddenly twisted and expanded to more than ten meters. Its rainbow-colored mane turned into pitch-black flames. It kicked several demons away and even uttered incoherent words:
"Get out of here, you promiscuous bastard!"
From this perspective, the fighting style of the Black Knights is really quite simple. They can kill the enemies just by swinging their weapons continuously. It is simple and crude.
Chiya became more and more satisfied with their performance. At this moment, two batches of Flame Dragons had died, and the third batch seemed to be unable to hold on, but he did not feel sorry at all.
Gong Qiying was also a little emotional. The four city lords in front of him were definitely the ones with the highest quality among all the city lords he had interacted with so far. Their monsters were powerful and their tactics were adaptable. They were a hundred times stronger than Ganago and his ilk. Rainbow Horn, who was thought to be a funny character at first, turned out to be a ruthless person in contrast.
This shows that Chiya has a really good vision and has accurately selected potential stocks.
The advancement speed of other city lords increased dramatically, but the Black Knight stood out for his steady and calm approach.
If the way of advancing smoothly like a roller coaster can be said to be steady and solid.
As the battle line advanced, the city lords' monsters inevitably suffered casualties, and even Gong Qiying was the same. They expanded the battlefield, replenished troops, and increased manpower, and everyone fought very seriously.
The Black Knight and the Unicorn also cooperated. The Black Knight rode on the Unicorn and swung his sword around, like an angel of war.
Burning demons would continuously emerge from the underground hole in the ancient city. The Slime City Lord was the first to react, summoning strong acid humanoid slime to block the hole.
Chiya was very satisfied with his performance, and also gave extra points to the collaboration between Gong Qiying and Rainbow Horn.
The battle on the ground lasted for half a day. After each city lord suffered certain casualties, the battle line was finally pushed to a large hole leading to the underground.
The black knight riding a unicorn jumped in first, winning a point for the Unicorn Dungeon and the Sean Dungeon. The Slime City Lord was so angry that his body was shaking, and he jumped in right after him.
The scene underground was even more chaotic, with the density of burning demons increasing several times.
Chiya’s Fire Dragon also had to be increased, and the rate of loss was getting faster and faster.
If you want to completely close the seal, you need to eliminate all the burning demons that have escaped, which means that the only thing left is fighting!
There was a lot of fighting and killing, and everyone was increasing their troops. The number of slimes exceeded a hundred, the number of bat monsters exceeded a thousand, the size of the rock creatures became larger and larger, and the number of black knights increased by ten.
When everyone was killed by the swarming burning demons and had to rush to replenish their troops, Gong Qiying just looked at where the casualties occurred, then clicked on the available monsters to replenish one or two, and the black knights continued to advance steadily.
No matter how chaotic and crazy the Burning Demon's attack was, Gong Qiying's team was as unshakable as a stabilizing force.
After a while, the other city lords noticed something was wrong.
When there are fewer Burning Demons, you advance at this speed, and when there are more, you advance at this speed as well.
Are you pretending to be a pig and trying to eat the tiger?! Hurry up and show me your full strength!
Then Gong Qiying killed a wave of soldiers, and then he took the most heads and was ranked first in kill rate.
Everyone else was stunned, and Slime was so excited that he became deformed.
But at this moment, an unexpected situation suddenly occurred on Chiya's side!
The number of burning demons exploded, but his fire dragons' absorption speed could not keep up. Before he could summon more fire dragons to join the battle, the remaining fire dragons that were in effect exploded!
The flames once again returned to the burning demon's body!
The fire was burning fiercely, the smoke was billowing, and the devil was howling in the fire.
A bat monster pounced forward and cautiously stabbed the burning demon with its weapon, but the flames immediately coiled around it like a snake!
The next second, it turned into a burning torch and smashed into the army of bat monsters while wailing!
The consequences of this smash are very serious.
Hundreds of bat monsters were set on fire in an instant, and the raging fire was accompanied by shrill screams. Such a spectacular scene is truly rare in life.
Even if the water elementals were summoned to remedy the situation, it would be of no avail; no water could put it out.
"How could this happen!" Shanzhachuan was horrified. His army was wiped out in an instant!
The flames burning the devil were too evil. They were not ordinary fire at all. They clung to the body like a maggot and would not leave no matter what.
Its burning speed is also extremely fast. Even the largest bat monster cannot survive in the flames for more than five seconds!
The same is true for slimes, unicorns, and rock creatures.
Under the terrifying high temperature, the core of the rock creature began to melt!
The battle situation that was going smoothly just now turned into a crushing situation in an instant. Almost all the city lords had the same idea:
Can you beat me in one second with 17 cards! ?
The Burning Demon is showing signs of weakness, the Burning Demon is being defeated, the Burning Demon has won a great victory!
As expected of an ancient calamity, the risk factor has increased exponentially after regaining the power of fire!
Just as the demons were shouting, heavy footsteps were heard in the fire.
“Gah—”
The demon whose neck had been broken by bare hands and whose body was still burning with flames was thrown over.
What? Breaking the burning demon's neck with bare hands, isn't this courting death?
In the next moment, the burning demons saw a scene that they would never forget in their lifetime, and perhaps it would be the last scene they would see in this life.
In the raging fire that seemed to be able to burn the world, dark figures suddenly appeared!
Their pitch-black armor was covered with twisted flames, and every hole was spewing out angry fire, and their bodies looked even more majestic against the backdrop of the fire!
The Black Knights move freely in the fire!
The pain of being burned by the flames made them feel as if they had returned to the time when they followed Gwyn to pass on the fire. After burning out, they became ashes wandering in the world.
If I can even endure the Fire Transmission, there is no reason why I would be defeated by the flames of the Burning Demon!
Wrapped in flames, the knight drew his sword and charged into the group of demons!
The howling of the burning devil is performed again!
The slime's body was tense into a round shape. He looked at Gong Qiying and then at the Black Knight, and he was almost about to swear to express his mood.
"Why wouldn't they be burned to death by the fire!?"
It is just the ashes left after the fire was passed on, how can it be ignited?
But this does not mean that the Black Knights will not be hurt, the flames will also burn their bodies, but.
Gong Qiying had already added all the fire-proof BUFFs he knew to the Black Knight the moment he summoned them!
Even so, he was still not safe, so he stuffed a Pokémon with the [Fire-Starting] attribute into the armor of each black knight.
That's it, how could the Black Knight lose?
The city lords were stunned, and Chiya was in a trance for a moment before he remembered to summon more fire dragons to attract the flames.
The flames were completely sucked away, and the city lords were finally able to send out monsters again, but they were stunned to find that—
The battlefield has been slaughtered back and forth by the Black Knights, and only one in ten burning demons are left alive!
"He's finished fighting, so what are we fighting for?" Shanzhachuan said blankly.
Coconut rolled over and said sadly, "Hitting the air."
But this confusion did not last long, as a heavyweight character among the Burning Demons appeared, a demon warrior captain.
The huge size, the body covered with spikes, and the powerful aura all indicate that this is the final BOSS.
Chiya even said it bluntly, anyone who defeats the Demon Warrior Captain will get a lot of points with him.
So what are we waiting for? The best thing to do is to start fighting right away.
The demon warrior leader's fighting power is not exaggerated. The corrosive effect of the humanoid slime has become much less effective on him. The blood magic of the bat monster cannot attract higher-level life. The huge rock creature can wrestle with him, but it is impossible to determine the winner.
But upon closer inspection, the damage they could cause had also become lower. The Demon Warrior Captain launched a frantic offensive, but they resisted firmly.
Until Chiya gave a hint.
"Find the black spear nearby and use it to pierce the heart of the demon warrior leader, and you will kill him once and for all."
If he delays any longer, he won't know how many of his fire dragons will die. Even if he has a large family and a great fortune, he will still feel sad.
Black spear?
Everyone immediately sent out troops to search all over the underground, and they finally found it, but...
Broken, the black spear broke.
"It's useless. Once it's broken, it's ineffective." The Demon Warrior Captain actually made a sound at this moment. He actually still had some sanity!
The power of the broken spear was greatly reduced. He could easily pierce the tall body of the demon warrior, but now he needed to absorb the power of others.
But the demon's body is covered with a hard shell. Who can destroy it?
A cunning smile appeared on his face, and his physique increased several times. The bat monster standing in the front was knocked away and fell next to the black spear.
Gong Qiying looked at the bat monster, then at the black spear, with a thoughtful look. Finally, with the mentality of giving it a try, he ordered the black knight to go over and pick up the spear.
What is he going to do? The spear is no longer usable.
At this moment, a total of twenty black knights surrounded the demon warrior leader.
"Haha, dying, struggling."
The demon shrugged it off, but he forgot one detail.
The armor of these black knights is covered with scars left by demons. What does this mean? Are they weak?
No, this means they have played the whole game and haven’t left yet!
Amid the mocking laughter of the Demon Warrior Captain, the black knights rushed forward. At this moment, no tactics were needed, all they had to do was release their full strength!
The demon warrior leader was laughing, but the next second he stopped laughing and looked confused, and the next second he was horrified.
"How could your power be!"
The Black Knight's halberd slashed across his legs, and the Demon Warrior Captain fell to the ground with a bang. The Black Knight used his weapon to smash all the armor on his body.
The demon's super-speed regeneration was activated, and every piece of it was broken into pieces it regenerated, and it seemed to be unharmed.
But he no longer had the strength to resist the Black Knight, and now he was just a living target that could recover on its own!
"You can't kill me, I'm immortal!"
"Stop! Don't do meaningless things. You can't kill me!"
"Help, lunatics, these lunatics!"
"Please kill me"
The demon warrior leader made a miserable sound. After being beaten for who knows how long, he finally gave up thinking.
The shell protecting the heart unfolded automatically, and the Black Knight picked up the spear and pierced his heart easily!
Chiya roared like a dragon, with a hint of laughter in his tone, and shouted loudly:
"it's over!"
