Chapter 523: Enemies Meet on a Narrow Road
Kumbien madly beat the nose of his fellow creature in front of him, trying to make the wound on the other party similar to his own.
The Cambion who was attacked by him didn't react in time. By the time his fellow Cambion realized something was wrong, Cambion had already successfully broken the noses of four Cambions like himself.
Thanks to the effect of the Silence Barrier, I was able to smash a Cambion's nose with one punch without making any sound, so it was not difficult to sneak attack the second one.
With a smear of blood, everyone looked the same.
This is the way that Kambien thought of to survive.
As a relatively experienced half-blood devil, he knew that Cambion looked similar to many races, and the attention of outsiders would be attracted by the red skin, horns and devil wings. It would be difficult for outsiders to distinguish the real differences in facial features in a short time.
Therefore, as long as he could smash the noses of other Cambions, he might be able to confuse the audience.
Not only that, after the sneak attack, he also carefully observed the situation on the other side until he saw that the unlucky guy was made into a zombie and the scary undead girl looked towards the barrier. Kambion angrily grabbed a stunned Kambion and roared, "You damn guy, you sneak attacked me?!"
Never mind whether you can make any sound in the Silence Boundary, you have to act hard anyway, what if the other party can read lips? When Melina looked at the Boundary, the Cambion inside was already in chaos.
Cambion was very cunning in muddying the waters, and several dazed Cambions didn't know who had attacked them. They only saw a bunch of devils fighting, and they joined in angrily.
Melina had to summon large swathes of Whispering Tree vines to capture all of the Cambions.
Looking at these bruised demons, Melina asked doubtfully, "Mother, are we... going to kill them all?"
Even the Withered Rose had not expected such an accident. She was more careful than Melina. Even though these Cambions were beyond recognition, she still knew where the Cambions were.
But after thinking for a moment, Withered Rose said to Melina: "Just catch one and ask again."
Melina obediently followed her mother's instructions, caught another Cambion, and asked the same question again.
This time, all the Cambions guessed what was happening. It was a separate interrogation.
No one knows what the last unlucky guy who was killed said, but in the current situation, you simply cannot make up an identical lie, so the only way to have a chance of survival is to tell the truth.
The Cambion, whose face was covered in blood, honestly showed the way. The route was not much different from the one given by Kambian. It still had to pass through the territories of the three lords of hell. The most dangerous part was the thousand-mile blood river behind.
This is a horrific battlefield, a place where demons and devils fight each other endlessly.
Only by passing through this area, entering the Blood River Fortress, and using the teleportation array inside the fortress can you reach Zariel's residence.
Not to mention the teleportation permission, just crossing the Blood River Battlefield is an impossible task.
It was a vast, ever-changing battlefield, where every inch of land was soaked in the blood of demons and devils, and the weeds in it had mutated into deadly monsters.
There was once a widely circulated joke that no matter what crimes you committed in other dimensions, you could be completely atoned for your sins if you survived on the Blood River Battlefield.
This is indeed the case. The Blood River Battlefield is the recognized road to atonement in the Nine Hells.
Don't want to be tortured anymore? Sure, join the bloody battle!
Don't want to be enslaved? Join the bloody battle!
Want to regain your freedom, or even be resurrected to the main material plane? Great, join the blood battle and make merit! The Blood River stage, come if you are not afraid of death, there are all kinds of rewards here, just be afraid that you will not get them alive! No devil lord can stop sinners from participating in the blood battle, this is also the rule of hell. In theory, as long as Melina puts up the banner of participating in the blood battle, the three hell lords on the road will not become obstacles, but will open the door for her to pass quickly.
But so many discounts just illustrate the horror of the bloody battle.
Legends that are rarely seen in other dimensions are harvested one after another like leeks in this battlefield.
Summoning two Balor Flame Demons in the main material plane is enough to make them walk sideways. On the bloody battlefield, the Balor Flame Demons dare not show their heads casually, because if they do, they will die.
If you are unlucky, you will encounter the projections of famous demon lords as soon as you enter the battlefield. Hell is not the main material plane, and Io does not restrict the true gods from exerting their power on the battlefield of bloody battles.
These clones all have the power of gods, and not just weak divine powers.
Demogorgon often creates clones and throws them into the battlefield to bully the weak. Ordinary demons will be brutally slaughtered when they encounter Demogorgon. But later, Demogorgon encountered the equally unethical god of death, Kelemvor. This god of death also constantly creates clones to join the bloody battle and harvest demons in large numbers.
After the two sides fought several battles, they finally realized that it was meaningless to do so, and gradually reduced this boring massacre.
The Blood River Battlefield is now in a stable state, with devils and demons still dying one after another, but no true god-level clones have appeared for a long time.
Withered Rose frowned upon hearing this. This was truly too dangerous. It sounded like there was no chance of survival.
Withering Rose asked Melina to capture all the Cambions from the barrier and asked them one by one, "Don't you have any other way to get to Zariel's mansion? Even those hell lords need to go through the bloody battlefield to see the master of the first layer of hell?"
Although she was asking questions to all the Cambians, Withering Rose focused her attention on Cambian.
This Cambion seemed to be smarter than the others, and Withered Rose hoped to get the answer from him.
Kambien seemed to feel the gaze of the Withered Rose as well. He knew that this terrible mistress had recognized him. His little trick had failed, so the only reason he was able to survive was his quick wit.
If I can't give her a satisfactory answer now, I'm afraid I will be turned into a zombie.
Thank God Zariel, Cambian actually has a solution.
He crossed his knees, squeezed a path through the kneeling Cambion, came to Melina, and said respectfully: "Great Master, other hell lords who want to see Grand Duke Zariel certainly don't need to cross the blood river. They have exclusive teleportation arrays in their fortresses, which can go to Zariel's mansion.
"But these teleportation arrays are not for us to use. Even the hell lords cannot use them. Only when Grand Duke Zariel actively summons them can they enter the magnificent palace through the teleportation array. So we don't need to consider these hell lords. They don't have the ability to do that.
"As for the Bloody Battlefield, I do know a route that may be able to bypass most of the dangers. If you trust me, Master, I am willing to find the safest way for you to reach the Blood River Fortress."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
When Cambion said this, the other Cambions laughed.
"What a clumsy lie!"
"A safe route through the Blood River Battlefield? Why don't you just say you're the illegitimate son of Grand Duke Zariel?"
"If there really is such a path, you would have already become a general officer in the Blood River Fortress!"
…
All the Cambians are "exposing" Cambian's lies because it is so funny that even the Hellworms with the lowest IQ won't believe it.
Kambien didn't explain, but just looked at Melina sincerely.
Melina didn't say anything, but just followed the order of the Withered Rose and threw a ring to Cambian.
Withered Rose commanded through the magic mirror: "Put on this ring and repeat what you just said."
Kambien quickly put the ring on his hand. Apart from the faint flow of magic power, Kambien didn't know what the ring was used for, but he still repeated what he had just said, and the ring didn't move at all.
Only then did Withered Rose believe the words of this half-blood devil.
Because the ring that Kambien was wearing was the one that could detect lies. It was made by Amberhu during his lifetime. Even Amberhu, the legendary prophet, could not resist the detection of this ring.
The ring didn't light up red, which meant that what he said was true.
But Withered Rose still asked worriedly: "Give me a reason, how did you know this secret?"
Kambien said quickly, "Because this is the road that just appeared. I wonder if you have heard of one thing, not long ago, a large number of tieflings were sent to hell. There were millions of them. Most of these tieflings were thrown into the Blood River battlefield by Grand Duke Zariel.
"I didn't find this road. Instead, it was information obtained with the lives of millions of tieflings. Unfortunately, the news was leaked. Not many people know about it now, and I happen to be one of them."
The ring still didn't respond, and Cambion wasn't lying.
"The Tiefling of the Unholy Hymn..." Withered Rose did not feel much relief, but only felt a headache.
If these tieflings knew Melina's identity, they would be more dangerous than the demons on the bloody battlefield.
However, there was no other choice at the moment, and Withered Rose could only say to Melina: "Melina, you need to change your clothes and dress up. You can't reveal your true identity."
When Melina heard this, she immediately said confidently, "Don't worry, mother. I know this very well! I learned it from my father!"
