Chapter 640 Entering the River of the Abyss and the Eighteen-Level Dungeon

Witch Charlie snorted coldly and frowned at the same time. The Qionghua Enclave’s reputation for being worthless was comparable to that of the Spiral Basin in the Eastern Border Region.

  The black wizards and white wizards in these two wizarding lands are always confused.

 Of course, there are subtle differences between the two.

 Spiral Basin mainly employs people in an eclectic way, attracting all the talents of dark wizards. There is also a six-tower land next to it, and a large number of wizard geniuses will run there.

 The Dark Wizard Alliance in the Qionghua Enclave relied on money to purchase a large amount of real estate and identities, pretending to be a member of the [Heavenly Man].

 At least from a legal perspective, there is nothing wrong with it.

As an external holy master, Witch Charlie will naturally not meddle in this matter.

 At the gate of the Castle of Ashes Secret Cult Academy, Wizard Warwick said: "We'd better enter the river of the abyss as soon as possible, and then look for the dragon to locate the tomb of the wife of the unknown king."

 "Three of you, let's go."

 The four of them entered the castle of Ashes Secret Cult Academy, walked through the castle corridor, and entered a dungeon. They saw that the dungeon was full of severed limbs and arms of various races.

 There are still people wailing in the cells.

  Witch Charlie looked at Warwick and McKinley with unkind eyes.

Witch Charlie whispered to Locke: "Junior brother, be careful. After all, this is the territory of their dark wizards."

"If you notice something is wrong, immediately use the spell model [Summon Styx Ferryman] to leave."

Wizard Warwick looked at Locke and Witch Charlie and explained: "This is the laboratory material storage warehouse of our Ashes Esoteric Academy. The people detained here are all rebels in the major colonial worlds who resisted the spread of civilization."

"Although it looks a little bit... Scary. But don’t worry, nothing in this dungeon violates the laws of our Qionghua Enclave White Wizard Association. Even if there are some minor violations, we have paid enough fines.”

   

   Locke glanced at Warwick and said, "I don't care about this. Don't forget, the purpose of our coming here together."

Wizard Warwick took off several layers of magic clothes on his body. At this time, he returned to his own territory and finally no longer had to be afraid all day long.

 His whole body was like a silver werewolf, and a natural evil eye appeared on his forehead, which was like an eye of abyssal wisdom made of silver.

 At the same time, Wizard McKinley glanced at Locke, and his body also changed. His hands turned into the wings of a butterfly, and there were many patterns of abyss fire on the butterfly wings.

 That is the characteristic of the Abyss Demon Butterfly.

                                                                                                               "It has been a long time since I have seen a white wizard so courageous, and actually followed us deep into the dark wizard's dungeon. But, don't worry, we are all archaeological wizards. "

     " Don't look at the face of the monk, but also the face of the Buddha. "

"In this world, archaeological wizards are rare enough. Even in the Ashes Esoteric Academy, there are only a few dozen archaeological wizards, and they adopt a secret teaching system."

"On the surface, the Ashes Esoteric Cult is not an archaeological wizards academy."

"So, don't worry, we will be in this dungeon, and we will be disadvantageous to you. The source of the river of the abyss. The head comes from the abyss and passes through countless abyssal planes. The river has already been contaminated with the power of the abyss. If we don't use the resentment and death energy of these death row prisoners to suppress the power of the abyss, I am afraid that all the creatures on the floating reef will be contaminated by the abyss energy, their bodies will become abyssal creatures, and their souls will become abyssal."

"Therefore, the entrance to the River of the Abyss is indeed at the deepest part of the dungeon." Witch Charlie looked at the miserable humanoid creatures in the dungeon, endured the tendency to vomit, and forced her way down.

 As for Locke, he has seen the abyss before, so he still has some tolerance for this bloody scene.

 At the same time, he also realized that neither McKinley nor Warwick had very clean hands.

 Warwick can behave so orderly in front of him only because he and he are of the same level.

  Some people are polite and like gentlemen in their own social circle, but it does not mean that they will still be the same gentlemen when they go to the lower society.

  Sometimes, a person's gentleman and his devil personality may exist at the same time.

 The four of them continued walking down the steps. The smell of putridity, blood, and the increasingly intense power of the abyss was floating in the air.

 A skinned, abyssal pig-headed man was wailing in the dungeon. "Please, save me."

 "Please."

 In front of him was a first-class dark wizard apprentice, who was doing some kind of cruel experiment with a skinning knife.

 The dark wizard is obviously a necromancer, his eyes are full of fanaticism. "The muscle distribution of pig-headed men from different branches is indeed different. I skinned more than five hundred pig-headed men and finally verified this..."

"Especially the pig-headed man who was infected by the energy of the abyss and turned into the abyss, it is even more different."

 Hitch Charlie waved her hand with a cold look, and the pig-headed man died immediately, relieving his pain.

 The dark wizard was suddenly angry and was about to curse. When he looked up, he saw Warwick and McKinley, as well as two wizards of the first ring with extremely powerful magical pressure that he did not recognize. He was so frightened that he quickly knelt on the ground.

  "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Apprentice Valentine said: "I may have done something wrong and angered my mentor."

  "Please forgive me."

  "Four adults."

  Witch Charlie glanced at him with contempt, a fierce light flashed in her eyes. "Hmph, it would be best if all the dirty things died."

Apprentice Valentine was so frightened that his whole body was shaking.

  The hierarchy within the Ashes Secret Cult is very strict, and it does not matter if a senior wizard kills an apprentice like him, even if it is for no reason.

 Hence, unlike ordinary white wizard students, apprentice Fan Lunding was really frightened at this moment, his whole body was trembling and his face turned pale.

  If Witch Charlie must kill him at this moment, unless there is an official wizard to protect him, he will definitely die.

  Wizard Warwick joked tactfully and said: "Valentine, your methods are too cruel, even I don't like it. Not to mention this lady, Witch Charlie."

  "You should apologize to this lady. He is a big shot from a top wizard academy."

  "Golden Crown Mountain, do you know?"

Apprentice Fan Lunding’s eyes flashed with confusion.

  He knew that Jinmianshan was a wizard college that was famous among the white wizards and a representative college of efficient agriculture.

 It’s just that Jinmian Mountain, as a prestigious school in the white wizard society for thousands of years, is willing to set foot in the deepest and most terrifying eighteen-story dungeon of the Ashes Secret Cult today.

  Apprentice Valentine immediately came back to his senses and bowed his head to Witch Charlie.

  No matter what identity Witch Charlie is, she is an official wizard and is a completely different class from others.

  If you want to kill him, you can do it directly.

  The white wizard society in the Qionghua Enclave itself emphasizes the survival of the strong and the elimination of the weak, and advocates the elimination of weaker beings.

 The black wizard society in the Qionghua Enclave has implemented this to the extreme.

  Apprentice Fan Lundin kept kowtowing on the cold and hard granite ground.

  Witch Charlie didn't appreciate it at all, she just showed disgust. "It's really disgusting to me."

 "Junior Brother Locke, let's go."

 Wizard Warwick shrugged his shoulders, floated, and followed. "Understandable. In fact, McKinley and I don't like this scene either. We are archaeologists, not death mages."

  "We understand you."

  Witch Charlie looked at Wizard Warwick in confusion and said: "If the dark wizard apprentice just did something evil out of the necessity of conducting experiments, then that's it. Although it is against the law, it is still understandable."

"But part of the reason why he did it just now was just to torture that mortal creature and do such a vicious thing."

"You two, as archaeologists, shouldn't have even such a little pride in your own."

McKinley listened to her words, but smiled and did not answer.

 Warwick explained: "The eighteenth floor of the dungeon is basically the territory of the Necromancer Academy. They can't go to the open surface, so they feel angry."

 "However, you are right, they are psychopaths. Of course, I would like to emphasize again that the death row prisoners in the entire dungeon are all biomes in the colonial world that are disrespectful to our wizard civilization and actively attack us."

  "So, there is nothing illegal in the entire dungeon!"

"We have invited contractors from the law firm to help us judge the situation before, and our college has won several cases before."

Locke suddenly said: "The river in front is the river of the abyss. It looks like an ordinary river."

I saw that at the deepest part of the dungeon in front, the terrain suddenly opened up, and at the deepest part of the dungeon, there was actually a dock.

  At the Magic Alloy Pier, there are some magic equipment, some wizard apprentices and an official wizard, working on something.

 The dock is on an extremely wide river. The river is like a lake, extremely vast, and ships can sail on the water and move easily.

 It's just that the surface of the river looks ordinary.

Witch Charlie spoke before Warwick: "Locke, look at that pier. It is covered with magic in the direction of the sealing magic sub-direction of the Protection School." Calm. It's not like what you see with the naked eye, this is an ordinary river."

Locke used the wizard's vision [spiritual vision] and immediately saw spell models one after another on the river in front of the dock, suppressing the river.

  If not, the power of the abyss in the entire river may explode instantly, demonizing everyone around him.

  Kill all surrounding life force.

  Warwick smiled and said: "Witch Charlie is really knowledgeable."

"It seems that he is well-informed. No wonder I am going with Locke this time, but actually you don't have to be too wary of me. Locke and I are close friends."

 "I am very grateful to Locke for configuring the abyssal werewolf potion for me. In the future, there will be many places where I need to rely on Locke."

 Witch Charlie did not answer this.

 At this time, Wizard McKinley picked up a stone on the ground and threw it towards the river next to the pier in front.

 The stone fell into the river. The ordinary river surface, which had been calm just now, suddenly erupted with violent abyssal demonic energy. Many wizard apprentices on the dock were shaken by the abyssal energy.

The official wizard quickly deployed a permanent defensive force field, covering the dock, and fired a protective school spell model [Forced Seal] against the river, adding a seal, and then suppressed the river.

 The official wizard cursed at McKinley. "McKinley, what are you doing! Are you sick?"

 McKinley smiled, and then said to Locke: "You see. This tributary of the River of the Abyss is not as obedient as it seems on the surface."

 h "We Just to keep it "quiet", the academy needs to spend a huge amount of resources every year. "

"If the resentment and death energy of the eighteenth-level death row prisoners are not used to counteract the overflowing abyss energy, I'm afraid..."

Witch Charlie sneered.

Locke also realized that the real purpose of this dungeon's dead energy was to cover up the energy of the abyss and prevent the Ethics Review Committee from coming to investigate.

  In any case, building such a large abyss tributary in the Qionghua Enclave may trigger a thorough investigation by the Ethics Review Committee.

  After all, the Ashes Secret Cult is not an ordinary black wizard organization, it also has the identity of a member organization of the White Wizard Association.

  If the White Wizard Association must come to investigate, then it has no reason to refuse.

 Of course, this is only theoretical.

· From a practical level, this college is indeed not under the supervision and control of the local branch of the White Wizards Association.

The four of them came to the dock. Wizard McKinley exchanged a few words with the official wizard on the dock and gained the right to step onto the river of the abyss.

  Many dark wizard apprentices secretly looked at Locke and Witch Charlie, seeming to be surprised at how two white wizards came here.

 When Locke looked at them, these dark wizard apprentices would either lower their heads immediately to show submission, or smile flatteringly to please them.

 Warwick chanted a spell, and suddenly a Styx Ferryman's ferry appeared on the river of the Abyss. "Three of you, I have written down the coordinates of the ruins in the River of the Abyss. The four of us will take turns using the spell model to summon the Styx Ferryman and go to that area."

"The journey is long, and the surface environment of the Abyss River is harsh, complex and dangerous. Therefore, in order to ensure maximum safety, I suggest that we take turns using the spell to summon the ferryman of the underworld."

 Locke and Witch Charlie are both natural.

 After the four people handed over four gold coins of the underworld, they boarded the ferry together. The Styx ferryman glanced at the four people, then took up the oars and moved in the water of the abyss.

  Warwick said: "The river of the abyss is different from ordinary rivers. Ordinary rivers go from high to low, but the river of the abyss goes from low to high."

  "The river of the abyss comes from one layer of the bottom plane of the endless abyss. No wizard has yet confirmed which layer of the abyss plane its source is."

"The River of the Abyss spans many abyssal planes and intersects with many planes in the endless void, including our wizard plane."

  "So, some current ways to go to the colonial plane are to go through the waterways of the Abyss River and take a void battleship."

 "But back then, in the Age of Stars, Each Witch King who has borrowed a lot of the power of the Abyss will put his tomb into the Abyss after death. They do not want their bodies to be tainted by the Abyss and become corpse monsters. Therefore, many Witch Kings choose to build their tombs into magical sealed places with iron walls and place their tombs somewhere in the Abyss River."

 Warwick said to Locke: "This is a very smart approach. Because the River of the Abyss is part of the Abyss, but a large part of the River of the Abyss is outside the Endless Abyss."

 "Using this method, the Witch-Kings can preserve their honor after death."

 "Retain their last dignity."


  The sealing energy on the river has gradually weakened.

 Moreover, streams of abyssal energy were being released towards the four people on the ship.

  The river the ferry passes through is deep black water, with no bottom visible and not without life in it.

 On the contrary, there are many kinds and exaggerated quantities.

 Those are devil fish!

 Hands of devil fish were flapping excitedly in the river water, and they were constantly hitting the bottom of the ferry boat with their bodies.

 Locke saw below the surface of the River of the Abyss, not only were there various devil fishes with red eyes and screaming mouths, but also many primitive devil worms. These worms were squirming like insect larvae in the water, looking greedily at the four wizards on the river in the water.

  Warwick sneered, exuding the aura of an abyssal werewolf.

Suddenly, those demon fish and abyss primitive demon worms ran very fast after feeling the aura of high-level demons.

 The low-level demons who kept attacking the ferry disappeared in the blink of an eye.

 It's just that the river is no longer calm.

 Hands everywhere are filled with devil fishes scrambling to escape, and the splashing water is filled with the surging shadows of primitive devil worms.

 At this time, Witch Charlie took out a strange witch porcelain from the astral ring.

 This shaman porcelain looks exactly like her.

  All the energy of the abyss converged into this witch porcelain doll, and it was not hindered by her.

 In addition, Witch Charlie activated her bloodline, and some characteristics of the deep-sea octopus appeared on her body.

 Her hands did not change at all, except that six huge sea monster octopus tentacles grew out of her back.

 Locke recognized that this seemed to be the ancient deep-sea monster [Kraken Kraken]. It was a second-level ancient creature. It was said that in ancient times, it had the power to destroy countless islands and set off tsunamis.

  With the Kraken Sea Monster's physical bonus and the fact that the Death Witch Porcelain carries the abyssal energy, Witch Charlie is immune to the abyssal energy.

  Warwick's eyes brightened slightly. "It's a good technology. That's witch porcelain. I didn't expect that the witch porcelain technology in Yunze Wetland has advanced so fast and can actually help the master bear the energy of the abyss."

    "This is something I didn't expect."

"It's just that the deeper you go, the richer the energy of the abyss will be. It's impossible for this little trick to support the position of the abyss ruins. This time we have to go deep into the river of the abyss."

"After all, the abyss ruins of the wife of the unknown king, after a long drift on the surface of the river of abyss, landed at that position and stopped temporarily."

   "If not, I won't be so lucky. I found the ruins in the river of the abyss near the wizarding world."

    Hitchhire said: "Don't worry, I'm sure."
