"This is hell, so it's normal for the dead souls to remain here."

Lin Qiye and the other two entered into one of the narrow mountain cracks without much hesitation.

Under the sky of the wasteland behind him, countless demons were hovering with their bodies lowered. Some of them flew over the continuous valleys in the direction where Lin Qiye and others had left, and began to search in scattered groups.

After witnessing two demons flying through the crack above his head, Lin Qiye frowned slightly as he moved sideways along the mountain.

He didn't expect that this group of demons would be so persistent. Even though he had clearly lost their trace, they were still circling around here. Fortunately, the crack in the mountain here was very narrow, and the rock walls on both sides were uneven. Looking down from a high altitude, it was difficult to see the figures of Lin Qiye and the other two.

The deep red sky was scattered with dim light. Under the obstruction of the rock walls, it was almost completely dark when it fell to the bottom of the crevice. Except for touching the rock walls on both sides with both hands to sense the direction, it was almost impossible to see the direction of the road in front of the naked eye.

Lin Qiye relied on his spiritual perception to walk in the front to lead the way. Jiang Er, like a ghost, floated in the air, and An Qingyu fell at the end of the team.

"Do you feel that the terrain here seems to be always downward?"

After walking silently in the darkness for a long time, An Qingyu suddenly spoke.

"That's right." Lin Qiye nodded in agreement. "I noticed it when I was flying in the sky before. The terrain of hell is not flat. It is like a slope that gradually slopes down... We have been going downhill since we entered this crack in the ground. Compared with the beginning, the altitude has dropped by at least several thousand meters."

An Qingyu seemed to have thought of something, "Downwards..."

"What's wrong?"

"Haven't you heard of the legend of hell?" An Qingyu pushed his glasses. "It is said that there are nine levels of hell. People who committed different sins in their lifetime will fall into different hells and suffer torture."

"But the terrain here is not layered?" Jiang Er asked puzzledly.

"Myths and legends are somewhat different from reality. After all, no human has ever seen the true appearance of hell." Lin Qiye said, "But judging from the current situation, this legend is not completely groundless. At least the further we go down, the lower the temperature. If I'm not mistaken, we are getting closer and closer to the core of hell."

"The gap for leaving is in the deepest part of hell?"

"If a 'miracle' really happens, it would be this."

Jiang Er sighed and was about to say something else when his expression suddenly froze. He raised his head and looked towards the depths of hell in confusion.

"How is this possible..." she muttered to herself.

Lin Qiye and An Qingyu looked at her at the same time, "What did you find?"

"I... I seem to be able to vaguely feel my physical body, right in the direction we are heading." Jiang Er's figure floating in the air began to shake like the screen of an old TV, and the sound coming from An Qingyu's waist was also intermittent.

"What?"

Lin Qiye was stunned. "Isn't your body stored on the ship? How could it appear in hell?"

"I... don't... know... either." Jiang Er looked down at his own twisting and twitching body, his expression showing anxiety, "My magnetic field... is about to be forcibly... dragged... over."

"Your [spiritual field] cannot leave the range of one kilometer from the main body. Heaven is essentially a spiritual pure land for people. There is no concept of distance, so you can move freely in it. But it is different now that we are in hell." An Qingyu quickly sorted out the situation, and his words were full of calmness.

“Although I don’t know why your real body appears here, you must obey the instinct of the magnetic field. Otherwise, after leaving the brain area, your remaining consciousness magnetic field will soon dissipate.

After you return to the vicinity of the main body, first clarify the surrounding environment and see if Brother Zhua has come in with the ship, and then try to pass on information to us if conditions permit."

"……good."

Jiang Er's figure in the air became fainter and fainter. After the last sound came out from the Bluetooth speaker, her figure suddenly jumped, like an old-fashioned TV screen with the off button pressed. A white light flashed and she disappeared from the spot in an instant.

“Rustle, rustle—”

The disconnected Bluetooth speaker emitted a low murmur, and the air in the narrow cracks of the mountain fell into deathly silence.

An Qingyu held the Bluetooth speaker in his hand, staring at it intently. He was usually calm and composed, but now a rare look of anxiety appeared on his face.

Lin Qiye stood aside, also frowning as he waited for the sound to come out of the speakers.

After more than ten seconds of noise, the sound of the speakers became slightly disturbed, and a female voice could be faintly heard, but it was extremely subtle and intermittent, almost completely drowned out by the noisy rustling sound.

"No." An Qingyu frowned and looked around. "There is something nearby that is constantly interfering with the magnetic field signal. Jiang Er connected to this channel, but the sound is difficult to transmit."

An Qingyu's eyes swept across the bare rock walls on both sides, and finally locked onto the ashes falling in the sky. His expression became increasingly ugly: "It's this thing..."

Lin Qiye stared at the Bluetooth speaker in An Qingyu's hand. After a moment of silence, he reached out and gently touched its surface.

A faint golden light flashed by.

With the help of the "miracle", Jiang Er's anxious voice in the speakers briefly became clear:

"Can you hear me? Hello? Can you hear me..."

An Qingyu's eyes lit up, "I can hear it!"

"The exploration ship! The exploration ship is in hell!" Jiang Er heard his voice coming out, and immediately spoke anxiously at a very fast speed.

"I don't know how it got in, but... but it has traces of attacks everywhere. The deck, the cabin, the engine, almost all of them are torn apart! Now my coffin is sinking in the bloody sea water along with the wreckage of the hull, and it is about to hit the bottom. I have searched all the areas where I can move, but there is nothing but water and lava flowing into the water. I can't tell where I am now at all...

Besides, Brother Zhua is missing."

Hearing these words, Lin Qiye and An Qingyu's hearts skipped a beat and their faces turned extremely pale.

"I found fragments of his cloak and blood in the wreckage. He must have been injured, but... Boom!!"

Before Jiang Er finished speaking, a dull roar came from the Bluetooth speaker, followed by endless rustling noises, echoing in the abyss-like cracks in the mountain.

An Qingyu frowned and looked at Lin Qiye. Just as he was about to say something, the latter immediately stretched out his hand and gestured to him to keep quiet, and said in a low voice:

"Something is coming..."
