Chapter 100

"Bah."

The Light Feather Boots stepped on the dry and hard ground underground.

The moment he passed through the teleportation array, Ye Bai suddenly felt a scorching smell of sulfur coming towards him.

The color that came into view also changed from the gloomy gray-blue of the night to the completely opposite ominous dark red.

Ye Bai looked around immediately and found that he was in a typical underground terrain, which was composed entirely of dark black rocks and bright red magma.

Whether it's the 'sky', the mountains, or the earth, they are all made of this kind of hard rock. In the cracks of these rocks, rivers and waterfalls composed of magma flow. Their light illuminates the surrounding stone walls, forming a single scenery in purgatory.

At this time, Ye Bai was standing on a high platform formed by huge rocks, and not far away there was a "river" made of magma.

Ottophis was also next to Ye Bai, looking around curiously.

Faced with this scene, Ye Bai took out the magic scroll and asked the paper man:

"Which level of hell are we in?"

Purgatory is divided into nine layers. The deeper you go, the stronger the creatures inside are. The ninth layer hides the core of Purgatory. All creatures of Purgatory are born from the magma because of the existence of the core of Purgatory.

"Wait a moment." The paper figure was silent for a moment, then read the message and said, "All I know is that we are now below the fourth floor."

Four floors below...

Ye Bai nodded and his expression became serious. That meant that the hellish creatures that appeared here were at least level 40 or above. If it was the sixth or seventh floor, the active hellish creatures would be above level 60.

Moreover, the higher the number of layers, the fewer space cracks leading to the surface.

There are space cracks leading to the surface in each layer of Purgatory. These cracks are difficult for powerful Purgatory creatures to pass through, but those with divine blood can travel freely.

For players, it is equivalent to a safe save point, so when Ye Bai asked the paper man before, he only asked him how to get to Purgatory. The way to go back is naturally through the crack in Purgatory - it is much easier to find a crack in Purgatory than to look for the entrance to the crack on the vast ground.

Although the cracks are active, they usually remain fixed for a period of time. During the period of existence of the cracks, Ye Bai can travel between the surface and Purgatory through the cracks.

This time when entering Purgatory, Ye Bai was not sure that she could complete the Purgatory mission in one go. Her plan was to explore deeper layers as much as possible, and then find the location of the corresponding surface cracks, and decide on her actions based on the situation.

Now the first thing to do is to figure out which level you are on.

Ye Bai observed the surrounding terrain from the platform, and then explored forward along the lava river.

Walking in the purgatory space, Ye Bai's water needs increased twice as much as when she was on the surface. Fortunately, she was well prepared and brought enough water with her when she came.

After walking a distance, Ye Bai suddenly stopped and quickly hid behind a huge rock.

Fifty or sixty meters ahead, a team of six horned demons was dragging a simple trailer loaded with cargo towards a certain direction.

Horned Demons are infernal creatures ranging from level 45 to 55. They are the backbone of the Infernal Legion and are commonly found on the third to seventh levels of Infernal.

However, seeing that these horned demons clearly looked like they were working, it could be seen that they were subordinates of some powerful person.

And there is only one possibility for this powerful person in Purgatory, and that is the Purgatory Lord of this layer.

Purgatory creatures are the representatives of chaos, and there is basically no formation of cliques and factions within them. Only the strongest person in one level can command the Purgatory creatures.

The strongest Purgatory Lord in each layer of Purgatory is the BOSS of that layer of Purgatory. Naturally, the strength of the Purgatory Lord increases with the layer.

Ye Bai's eyes swept over the goods being pulled behind these horned demons, and then his gaze fixed, and a look of surprise appeared on his face uncontrollably.

It was nothing special. The contents of that simple trailer were not the common items in Purgatory such as crystal magic stones, but... colorful corals and shells of various sizes.

Ye Bai even caught a shiny pearl in an open shell.

It was normal for these things to appear on land or at the seaside, but how could there be so many things in Purgatory that only appeared in the deep sea? Moreover, deep-sea creatures were naturally able to restrain Purgatory creatures.

If it is through a space crack, three prerequisites must be met: 1. There is a stable underground crack; 2. These purgatory creatures have a way to pass through the crack; 3. This space crack happens to be on the seabed.

Any of the three prerequisites is extremely difficult to meet.

This abnormal situation was obviously not right. Ye Bai thought about it and immediately chose to follow secretly, falling far behind this group of long-horned demons.

Ye Bai followed the team of horned demons all the way. After walking for a while, he finally saw a purgatory-style fortress in front of him.

This fortress is rugged in style, clinging to a steep cliff. A lava river forms a 'moat' below, and various infernal creatures walk around the fortress.

[You discovered the 'Purgatory Cliff Fortress', gaining 10 historical experience points and 100,000 experience points.]

Sure enough, this is the fortress of the Lord of Purgatory on this level.

The horned demons pulled a truck loaded with "seafood" into the fortress. Ye Bai stayed in a safe position and glanced at the outline of the fortress. Suddenly, her eyes lit up.

Above a platform at the edge of the fortress, she saw a bright red crack.

It seems like a space crack!

I was just curious about why seafood appeared, but I unexpectedly discovered cracks.

We need to find out how long that crack will last.

There were no infernal creatures guarding the crack, but there were still quite a few infernal creatures moving around near the area leading to that crack.

Ye Bai opened his equipment bar and confirmed once again that [Perfect Mask] was equipped.

Ye Bai relies on this equipment to have the courage to wander around in Purgatory.

But what about Ottophis?

Ye Bai turned around and saw Ottophis looking at her with his head tilted, his eyes seemed to be asking her why she stopped.

Ye Bai suddenly remembered that this guy had special magic. As long as he didn't make any big moves to interrupt the ceremony like last time, people would subconsciously ignore his existence.

I guess the risk it faces is smaller than mine.

After calming himself down, Ye Bai carefully stepped into the fortress area which belonged to an unknown purgatory lord.
