Chapter 369: The Seal of the Chaos Demon Cave

"Everyone."

Xu Xiayan's voice made all the group leaders and deputy group leaders present turn their eyes to her.

Su Ming and Chi Qian's gazes also focused on it at once, no longer distracted.

Under such circumstances, Xu Xiayan first solemnly thanked everyone.

"Thank you all for cooperating with my 'Summer Chasing Smoke' operation this time. Xia Yan would like to thank you all in advance."

As she spoke, Xu Xiayan bowed slightly to everyone.

This salute made everyone present stand up one after another.

"Captain Xu, you are too serious."

"It's just a few little things."

"Being able to participate in this SS-level mission is also a rare opportunity for us."

"Yes, you're welcome, Captain Xu."

Many team leaders responded with greetings one after another, with a very respectful attitude.

Faced with the "Summer Chasing Smoke" team, whose strength is comparable to that of an S-level team, the leaders and deputy leaders of the B-level teams are really not qualified to accept Xu Xiayan's gift calmly. It is normal for them to feel honored and fearful.

Only the people from "Jinlongyu Pavilion" and "Iron Rose" remained relatively calm.

“It’s just that each one takes what he needs.”

Zhu Qian spoke first, her voice was unexpectedly a little childish, a bit like a baby voice. Combined with her model-like figure and appearance, it couldn't be said to be out of place, but there was a sense of contrast.

"You pay us, and we accept employment, so it is only natural that we should cooperate with the 'Summer Chasing Smoke' operation."

Qiao Liang also spoke up, his voice as calm and steady as his appearance.

As for Su Ming and Chi Qian, they said nothing.

Are you kidding? Without Xu Xiayan's employment, they might not even be able to enter this polar night maze. Accepting the employment has only benefits and no disadvantages for them. If they don't cooperate, it would be a bit ungrateful.

Not to mention, Su Ming gained a lot from this trip to the Polar Night Maze, even more than anyone else. This made Su Ming only grateful for the opportunity given by Xu Xiayan, and he had no other thoughts.

Now that I have gained enough, it is only natural to fulfill the agreement with "Summer Chasing Smoke".

Seeing this, Xu Xiayan also smiled slightly, which made Wang Di on the side couldn't help but reveal an obsessed look.

"No matter what, I will remember your help this time." Xu Xiayan said, "Please sit down first, everyone."

After hearing this, everyone sat down again.

Soon, Qiao Zhi, who was standing next to Qiao Liang, spoke.

"Since we have all arrived at the tenth floor of this Midnight Labyrinth within the stipulated time, then, Captain Xu, it's time for you to explain everything to us, right?"

The person who responded to Qiao Zhi's words was Zhu Yun, who was standing next to Zhu Qian.

"That's right." Zhu Yun glanced at Chi Qian who was standing next to Su Ming, then looked at Xu Xiayan and said, "We don't know the details of this SS-level mission yet."

This sentence prompted the rest of the people present to express their opinions one by one.

"yes."

"What exactly is this SS-level mission for?"

"Since it's an SS-level mission, it must be dangerous, right?"

"I hope Captain Xu will tell him."

So the crowd said.

Xu Xiayan naturally would not go against this.

"Since everyone has arrived at the tenth floor and is here, I will naturally explain the content of this SS-level mission to you in detail."

Having said that, Xu Xiayan first glanced around at everyone present, stayed on Su Ming for a while, then withdrew her gaze as if nothing had happened, and then spoke.

"This SS-level mission is actually related to the Chaos Demon Cave."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's expressions froze.

"Chaos Demon Cave?"

Su Ming and Chi Qian also looked at each other.

This mission actually involves the Chaos Demon Cave? This is indeed a big deal.

What is the Chaos Demon Cave? It is the largest entrance to the Demon Prison on earth, the only gate to hell that can threaten the survival of humans on the continent.

There are countless phantom demons that have come into this world through the Chaos Demon Cave, and their existence itself is the biggest threat facing mankind.

Even the horrific species that once turned the earth into hell, destroyed countless base cities, and killed countless lives, all appeared on earth through the Chaos Demon Cave.

The reason why Tianfeng City exists is to deal with the threat posed by the Chaos Demon Cave.

If something happened in the Chaos Demon Cave, then even if it was a small matter, the entire Tianfeng City would have to be mobilized.

If something happened a little bigger, it would threaten the survival of the entire Tianfeng City and even the entire continent. It would be normal.

Therefore, the state of the Chaos Cave has always been the biggest concern of mankind and has affected the nerves of the entire human race.

"I see." Qiao Liang said with a serious face: "No wonder the difficulty of this task is SS level."

Since it involves the Chaos Demon Cave, it is normal for SS-level or SSS-level missions to appear.

Of course, this also made everyone's heart tense, and one by one they became extremely nervous.

"What's going on?"

Zhu Xi even asked out loud.

On the contrary, Xu Xiayan remained extremely calm.

"Everyone, please be patient." Xu Xiayan first calmed down and said, "Although this mission involves the Chaos Demon Cave, the current situation is not too bad, otherwise I would not have an A-level team to be in charge of this mission. Everyone, don't be too nervous."

After hearing this, everyone thought about it and nodded one after another.

Indeed, since this task was assigned to an A-level team, it proves that the situation is not out of the control of Tianfeng City.

Otherwise, this task would have to be assigned to at least an S-level team or even several S-level teams, and even those veteran strong men who had been stationed in Tianfeng City would have to be mobilized.

The fact that this peak power has not been used proves that the situation is not too bad.

Thinking of this, everyone relaxed a little.

However, Xu Xiayan's subsequent explanation still made everyone nervous again.

"That being said, if we allow the situation to continue to develop, it will definitely become very bad in the end."

Xu Xiayan suddenly changed the subject and said this.

"After all, our mission this time is to help Tianfeng City repair the seal of the Chaos Demon Cave."

silence.

Everyone fell silent.

Even Chi Qian showed a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Only Su Ming looked confused.

"seal?"

The faint whispers were incredibly clear in the tent where you could hear a pin drop.

Xu Xiayan heard it, and looking at Su Ming's confused expression, she immediately explained.

"The Chaos Demon Cave is the entrance to the world's largest demon prison. Of course it needs to be sealed. Otherwise, all living things on this land would have been destroyed long ago."

These words reminded Su Ming of Longyao City and the Battle of Huaming.

Read the error-free version on 6Ⅹ9Ⅹ bookⅩ bar! 6Ⅹ9 book bar first publishes a novel.

The Battle of Huaming was caused by the appearance of an entrance to a small-scale Spirit Demon Prison in the Huaming District of Longyao City, which allowed the phantom demons in the Spirit Demon Prison to have a direct passage to the inner urban area of ​​Longyao City, turning the entire Huaming District into a battlefield.

In that battle, Longyao City suffered heavy casualties, but in the end it was the president of the Longyao City Warlock Guild, along with a group of senior warlocks in the guild, who cast the most powerful sealing technique among the advanced spiritual techniques [Eighty-four Styles: Remote Realm Gate] to seal the entrance to the Spirit Demon Prison, cutting off the passage to the Spirit Demon Prison. Only then did the phantom demons that had entered the world lose their support and were defeated.

Longyao City thus won the victory, and the Huaming Battle was also recorded in history and became a part of Longyao City’s history.

In that battle, if the entrance to the Spirit Demon Prison had not been sealed, under the onslaught of the endless army of phantom demons that emerged from the Spirit Demon Prison, it would have been a problem for Longyao City to even be able to protect itself, let alone win.

Thinking about it this way, it is indeed strange that the Chaos Demon Cave has not been sealed.

"If the Chaos Demon Cave had not been sealed, the phantom demons that have appeared in the world continuously for countless years would have already broken through Tianfeng City's defenses and entered the inland."

Faced with such a demon cave where phantom demons can appear continuously, if Tianfeng City does not try to seal it up, it would be tantamount to challenging how long chronic suicide would take.

Therefore, the Chaos Demon Cave must be sealed, and it is a very high-level seal.

Chi Qian's words confirmed this.

"Is there something wrong with the seal of the Chaos Demon Cave?" Chi Qian said to Xu Xiayan with a serious face, "It's impossible. The seal on the Chaos Demon Cave was a forbidden technique that was successfully cast after the great sacrifice of the Warlock Guild. How could there be a problem?"

The others also nodded repeatedly, very reluctant to believe it.

This time, Su Ming could understand.

————"Forbidden Technique".

This refers to the ten types of spiritual techniques that are listed as taboos and should not be used easily.

The one hundred forms of spiritual arts are generally divided into only three levels.

The spells ranked 1-30 in sequence are low-level spiritual spells.

The spells ranked 31-60 in the sequence are intermediate spiritual spells.

The techniques ranked 61-90 in sequence are advanced spiritual techniques.

The higher the sequence ranking, the stronger the power and effect of the spiritual technique, especially the advanced spiritual techniques ranked 61-90, which are said to have the power to destroy the world and are comparable to nuclear weapons.

But above the advanced spiritual arts, there is another level.

Those are the ten spiritual arts ranked 91-100.

The power and effect of these ten spiritual arts far exceed those of advanced spiritual arts. Even the ninety-one styles, which are ranked lowest in the sequence, are more than ten times stronger than the ninety-first style, which is considered to be the strongest among the advanced spiritual arts.

If advanced spiritual techniques are nuclear weapons, then these ten spiritual techniques are black technologies, which are simply not comparable to the weapons created by human civilization.

However, these ten terrifying techniques are not only not sought after by human sorcerers, but are instead avoided by them.

Why?

It's very simple.

Because using these ten techniques requires a huge price to pay.

They cannot be released just by having spiritual power.

To successfully release a spell of this level, certain conditions must be met.

Some require all spirituality to evaporate and burn. Once released successfully, the person will become an ordinary person and will never be able to regain extraordinary powers.

Some require a blood sacrifice, giving up a part of one's body as a sacrifice and losing that part forever, such as hands, feet, eyes, etc., before they can be released.

Some even require one to sacrifice one's life as a price, and once used, one's life span will be shortened.

The highest level spiritual arts ranked 91-100 are all of this kind of techniques. They are terrifyingly powerful, but also frightening.

Therefore, the human high-level officials listed the ten spiritual arts ranked 91-100 as taboos, prohibiting private teaching and circulation. Even if it is a book of techniques, once it is discovered that someone is keeping it privately or circulating it, it will be confiscated immediately, and the person who keeps it privately or circulates it will be severely punished.

People called these ten techniques forbidden techniques and kept a distance from them. Only the Warlock Guild headquarters in Tianfeng City had the technique books for these ten techniques, and no one was allowed to learn them. Only the senior members of the guild were allowed to access them.

Of course, the reason why they are able to access these forbidden techniques is so that they can sacrifice for the entire human race one day.

Once a major crisis threatens the entire Tianfeng City, or the entire human race or the human world, these sorcerers will step forward, sacrifice themselves, perform forbidden techniques, and save humanity from danger.

Once upon a time, the King of the Demonic Prison who turned the earth into hell was killed by the royal family of Tianfeng City and a group of elders of the Warlock Guild. They worked together using forbidden techniques to cut off his arms, dig out his heart, and weaken his power to the limit before sealing him in the underground ruins of Longyao City.

The result was that all the royal family members and the elders of the Warlock Guild who were responsible for performing the forbidden spells at the time were killed, and no one survived.

The seal on the Chaos Demon Cave was also caused by forbidden techniques.

In order to seal this demon cave that threatens the entire human race, the human side paid a huge sacrifice and cast forbidden techniques to reduce the threat of the Chaos Demon Cave to the lowest level.

Although the Chaos Demon Cave sealed by forbidden techniques is still affecting the real world, strange lands will form from time to time, allowing some phantom demons to come into the real world through the cracks in the seals and continuously impact the human world. However, its threat is already one ten-thousandth less than when it is fully activated. Not to mention the horror species, even the nightmare species finds it difficult to appear in the world through it.

It can be said that the seal of the Chaos Cave is the biggest reason why mankind has survived to this day. Tianfeng City is just a wall and a fortress built before the seal.

Thanks to this, the seal of the Chaos Cave has always been the most valued and concerned issue for humans. In addition, since it is a forbidden technique that was performed at a huge cost and sacrifice, the probability of something going wrong is very low.

From ancient times to the present, there has only been one problem with the forbidden seal imposed on the Chaos Demon Cave.

The problem that time ultimately led to the arrival of the terrifying King of the Demonic Prison.

Apart from that one time, the forbidden seal in the Chaos Demon Cave has never had any problems for countless years and is extremely solid.

Now, Xu Xiayan said that the seal needed to be repaired? Not only did everyone not want to believe it, they also didn't dare to believe it.

Sadly, this is the truth.

"There is indeed a problem with the seal."

Xu Xiayan's voice slowly reached everyone's ears.

“Or rather, this problem has always been there.”
