desolate!
Dead silence!
There is almost nothing that can be called "alive".
Helist and her party have been traveling in the Spider Queen's kingdom for several hours, but they haven't encountered even a wandering demon or spider, nor can they see the dark elf petitioners who should be constantly tortured.
It was as if a robber had broken in and robbed everything he could.
Even the huge temple once used to worship the goddess was completely abandoned, leaving only an empty and desolate scene.
If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, it would be hard to imagine that a country that had not yet lost its intermediate divine power would be in such an incredible state.
Where are all the petitioners, witch-hunting spiders, demons and waxmelts?
Have they all been killed or absorbed by Rose?
Or is Rose evolving to a higher level by devouring them?
Or maybe this sudden silence itself is her conspiracy and trap?
In short, there are too many doubts and puzzles plaguing these three followers of Eilistraee.
Especially Heliste, the whisper of "Yor'thae" has been echoing in her ears since she entered the kingdom, and the voice is getting louder and clearer.
Moreover, she also confirmed with her two companions that they could not hear her at all.
This strange state made her already shaken heart even more nervous and uneasy. The indescribable heavy pressure was like a mountain that made her breathless.
If possible, Helister even wanted to hold a naked dance ceremony immediately to pray to the dark girl Eilistraee and seek answers.
But unfortunately, this is the country of the Spider Queen.
From the moment they enter, their connection with the goddess they believe in becomes extremely weak.
The only thing they can rely on is each other and the Crescent Blade that can kill Rose.
"How far are we from the Spider Queen's location?"
Ulluyala suddenly stopped and asked in an uncertain tone.
"She should be very close. I can even feel that her power is constantly increasing, and she may wake up completely at any time."
Heliste rubbed her face vigorously, trying to drive away the fatigue and sleepiness and cheer herself up.
Because they haven't rested for three whole days.
Although the feeling was not that strong when I was in the star realm due to the special nature of the environment, the strong feeling of exhaustion soon swept through my body after entering Rose's kingdom.
If I hadn't taken the magic potion, I might have fallen asleep while walking.
After all, the brain has forced shutdown protection measures.
When a person is extremely tired, it is almost impossible to resist the extreme sleepiness by willpower. He will inevitably lose consciousness and fall into a deep sleep state to protect himself.
.
This is also the reason why some people who are extremely sleepy due to long-term lack of sleep will fall asleep standing or walking.
But fortunately, this is a magical world full of supernatural powers, and any problem can be solved by magic.
The only problem is that drugs that can replenish energy and keep people awake for a while have side effects.
That is, when the potion's effectiveness begins to wear off, the user will become more tired and sleepy, and will need to lie down for at least twelve hours of deep sleep to barely recover.
This means that during sleep they will be completely defenseless and at the mercy of others.
This is obviously not a good choice in the Spider Queen's country.
Therefore, the team must find Rose's true form and complete the feat of killing the god before the effect of the medicine wears off.
What's more, during this long journey, Helister and others did not carry much food and clean drinking water. They did not even have a decent meal from the time they set off until now. When they were hungry, they could only eat two pieces of dried meat and
Make do with dry food.
They didn't leave any escape route for themselves at all, but came with a do-or-die attitude.
"Then we need to speed up. It won't be good news for us once Rose wakes up."
After that, Philian got into a branch road deep underground.
You must know that this place was originally the 66th floor of the Bottomless Abyss - the Pit Demonic Network.
As you can tell from the name, the underground here has tunnels extending in all directions like a spider web, which is no different from a maze.
And because there are so many exits, it is not easy to find the correct road here.
At least Philian and Ulluyala definitely don't know how to go.
Only Heliste can rely on her weak connection with Rose to find the right direction from the fork in the road.
Perhaps this is also the reason why Eilistraee chose her as her chosen one.
After marching like this for almost half an hour, the three of them had gone at least five kilometers underground, and the surroundings had become completely dark.
If it weren't for the drow's inherent dark vision, humans would have been unable to see anything.
But the Pit Weave is not the Underdark after all.
Because although the Underdark is pitch black, it is not completely without light. Many spore plants emit weak fluorescence to provide illumination.
But here there are only endless forks and traps made of spider silk.
Once it accidentally falls, it will immediately be entangled in the sticky and tough net, and you can only break free with the help of magic items or teammates.
Fortunately, those web-weaving spiders have long since disappeared, otherwise there is a big question mark as to whether he could see Rose alive.
Just as the group of people had just entered a huge underground hall, they were suddenly surprised to see several black figures flashing across another passage on the opposite side, and then Kunsel Baery came out with several other drow.
Two groups of enemies with completely opposite force fields met dramatically just one step away from Rose.
In other words, this is the result of the Spider Queen's deliberate arrangement.
"Ah! I saw the sacrifices delivered to my door in front of the altar. This is such great luck."
Kunsel Baery obviously recognized Helister.
Because she knew that Danifei in her team once had a grudge with the other party.
"Altar? Sacrifice?"
Ulluyala keenly grasped the two key words, and also noticed the strange furnishings around the underground hall, as well as the densely packed blood-red evil symbols on the ground, walls and ceiling.
"That's right! You don't think you can meet the great God Queen casually, do you? No! Anyone who wants to see her must offer a sacrifice. And you are the best sacrifice."
After saying that, Kunsel Baery grinned with a bloodthirsty and cruel smile, and made an attack gesture without saying a word.
Ferien Mizrem and Jegalad Baenre immediately began to take action after receiving the instructions.
Especially the four-armed demon drow, Jaglad Baenre, rushed forward at the first moment, waving his claws like a charmer and almost tore Fillian in half on the spot.
The mithril armor on the latter's body was even cut open, revealing the black silk clothes underneath.
"Damn! Stop them! I'll deal with Kunsel! She must be Rose's chosen one! Killing her will weaken Rose's power!"
Helister suddenly pulled out the Crescent Blade and planned to kill this biggest threat in her eyes.
Because when she was in Menzoberranzan, she already knew that the Dean of the Spider Academy was trying every possible means to awaken the Spider Queen. There were several brief contests between the two, but in the end they could not decide the winner.
burden.
It's time for closure.
"Hahahaha! Kill me? You are so naive!"
Kunsel raised his chin proudly and let out an unbridled laugh, and then activated his magic to walk out of a huge interdimensional portal and a powerful demon came out.
It has a head like a wild boar, a fat and bloated body, and a pair of disproportionate black small wings behind it, with a rainbow-like dazzling light shining all over its body.
Anyone who sees it will feel dizzy involuntarily.
There is no doubt that this is a powerful soul-destroying demon. Its strength in the bottomless abyss is second only to the six-armed snake demon and the Balor Balrog.
Especially with a terrifying height of over six meters and a weight of nearly four tons, he is almost invincible in close combat.
The strength attribute of up to 32 points is almost a complete crushing of the dark elves who are not good at strength in the first place.
