The Death List Novel - Chapter 82

Chapter 82 Horn Of The Abyss
“Also, please pay attention to one more thing!” Berylseth hesitated for a moment before whispering, “If you’re unlucky enough to run into an apostle in a remote corner of the city who has failed several alien missions in succession, it’s best not to take the risk of resisting.”

Qin Lun smiled. He had already thought of this question.

Although the old Abyss Devil said that the new apostles were protected to a certain extent, there would always be some desperate people in the city. With the strict legal system of the Earth Federation, there would still be murderers like them who didn’t care about anything, let alone the horns of the Abyss Devils that followed the laws of the jungle!

As the two of them spoke, the group also walked out of the valley and walked along the mountain range. After turning around the foot of the mountain, everyone’s eyes lit up. There was already another group of Abyss Devil soldiers waiting here. In the middle of the empty field, there were a few gigantic beasts crouching.

These behemoths had bull heads and their broad backs were equipped with specially designed basket saddles. Almost every saddle could seat seven or eight people. It looked like they were mounts that were supposed to be used to pick up and pick up the apostles.

Berylseth walked back to the front of the line and gave the apostles a brief explanation. The scorching plains had a special terrain, making it difficult for ordinary motorcycles and mounts to adapt. Only this large-sized savage bear could walk on the scorching ground for a long time.

However, the apostles’ attention was not focused on the wild bear beast. Instead, they all raised their heads to look at the end of their line of sight, a huge city that was faintly discernible in the fog.

Berylseth smiled and didn’t mind the apostles ignoring them. He only commanded the Demon Guards to invite everyone to the basket saddle of the Barbarian Bear Beast. More than ten minutes later, the group set out once more and headed towards the colossus in the fog.

About half an hour later, the true appearance of the monster finally appeared in front of everyone. This was a floating city that was an entire circle larger than the forest of moonlight. Compared to the beautiful scenery and the natural aura of the Moonlight Forest, this floating city was filled with a sinister and terrifying aura.

The transparent crystal shield was filled with black mist. There were even some ferocious and strange non-human creatures that could be vaguely seen. The entire city was like a ghost.

The Moonlight Forest’s base was equipped with huge robotic arms, and beneath this floating city was a thick layer of jelly-like material. As it traveled on the continent, it was like a wriggling snail.

Upon closer inspection, this layer of jelly-like substance seemed to be the tentacles of countless octopuses. Although it looked weak and boneless, it was actually strong and strong, easily carrying the entire floating city on its back.

‘”This is a soft transformed devil that our Abyss Devils have spent countless resources and cores to create. The amount of devil cores it devours every year is an astronomical number. In time of war, it can form a protective layer outside the city.” Berylseth had already arrived at Qin Lun’s side and introduced him proudly.

“Is this the Horn of the Devil?” Qin Lun’s expression was a little ugly. This apostle city’s sales were too bad. Not to mention the other apostles, even he was a little regretful about leaving the Moonlight Forest now.

“Hehe, this is our devil race’s own floating city, the Scorching Cliff. There are only Dark race apostles inside. As for the Devil’s Horn …” Beelzebub pointed upwards with a mysterious expression.

“Heaven?” Qin Lun raised his head to look. Unfortunately, thick smoke filled the sky above the scorching plains. For the time being, he was unable to see the true face of the Horn of the Devil.

Berylseth smiled and remained silent. At this moment, the apostles on the other beasts’ backs were probably explained by the Demon Guards. They felt a little more at ease and secretly rejoiced that they didn’t really have to live in this eerie and terrifying floating city.

The team followed the giant “tunnel” that floated down the city and entered the scorching cliff. This so-called tunnel resembled the intestines of an animal. After stepping on the beast’s hooves, it would twitch slightly, causing everyone to feel sick. They were glad that they were sitting on the beast’s back again, so they didn’t have to personally go there.

Fortunately, the apostles didn’t have to enter the city very deep, and could enter the Corner of the Abyss directly through the teleportation portal in a reception hall in front of the door.

The reception hall was dimly lit, surrounded by bone lamps made from animal bones. In fact, some of the apostles had already made up their minds that if the Horn of the Abyss was also a scorching cliff, they might have to retreat and return to the moonlight forest.

Although the Moonlight Forest certainly wasn’t as helpful as the apostle city, a good rest environment was also very important for mental relaxation after missions in other worlds. No one can hope to rest in a gloomy and terrifying environment after experiencing life and death.

The teleportation array in the reception hall was round and huge, and there were also some shiny magic crystals placed around it.

However, Qin Lun noticed that these magic crystals weren’t as good in quality or size as the magic crystals used by the Elf Teleportation Array earlier. The teleportation distance was estimated to be very short, so there was no need to use high-quality magic crystals.

As the formation runes gradually lit up, something that none of the apostles had expected happened.

The teleportation this time was clearly different from the teleportation they had experienced before!

Although they had also entered a teleportation channel similar to a dimensional space, their teleportation speed was not very fast. It was as if they had only boarded a high-speed motorcycle, and even the scenery outside the floating continent could still be clearly seen.

Although the apostles felt like hell on the scorching plains, they were now high up in the sky, looking at the strange creatures and violent erupting volcanoes on the continent, they had a different feeling. They even felt a sense of supremacy, that everything beneath their feet was an ant’s swelling sensation.

This feeling disappeared in a flash. Due to the existence of many active volcanoes on the scorching plains, there was a thick layer of smoke and dust at an altitude of more than a thousand meters above the ground. After passing through this layer of grey smoke, the scenery on the floating continent could no longer be seen, causing everyone to immediately feel as if they were at a loss.

The bright sunlight once again filled the sky. More white clouds formed from water vapor finally replaced the layer of dirty and gray volcanic ash and dust below.

“Master, look, what is that?” Didi suddenly pulled at the corner of Qin Lun’s clothes.

Just as Qin Lun turned around, his eyes lit up. A thousand meters to the left, a huge city of the sky appeared in front of everyone.

This Heavenly City was very similar to the peak of a mountain. It was cut off and floated in the air in an inverted cone shape. The irregular peak below was floating and sinking in the white clouds. The white clouds were like ribbons that surrounded the overhanging mountain peak, just like Penglai Immortal Island in the nine heavens.

The terrain above Sky City was flat. Through the oval-shaped crystal shield outside, many tall buildings could be vaguely seen inside.

Unlike the Moonlight Forest and Scorching Cliff that Qin Lun had seen before, it was probably due to the intense winds in the sky. There were a total of five enormous horns on the crystal shield of Sky City, and the tip of the horns converged at the center of the shield.

It was as if five horns of demons were guarding the city, and it was as if a gigantic palm was gently supporting the mountain peak.

Qin Lun took a deep breath. The corner of his eyes revealed that the faces of all the apostles were filled with dense surprise and excitement. If they weren’t still on their way to the teleportation portal, they would have been surrounded by sighs of admiration.

How could the apostles not understand that this was the true apostolic city-the Horn of the Devil!

Qin Lun cast a glance at the satisfied old Abyss Devil beside him. No wonder he didn’t even have the slightest excuse for the Scorching Plains and Scorching Cliffs. He didn’t even mention the real environment of the Horn of the Abyss, allowing the Apostles to be dissatisfied and guess for no reason.

Facts speak louder than words, and comparison is envy!

Let the apostles walk for a while and experience the harsh environment of the scorching plains and the eerie and terrifying scorching cliffs, and then use this slow spatial teleportation to let the apostles see the floating city-the Horn of the Devil.

In comparison, no one except the dark apostles would be able to find fault with the Horn of the Devil.

The image of the Abyss Devil in the books of the Federation of Earth was simply absurd. Who said that this was an evil creature that could only bring destruction and slaughter? It was no wonder the Moonlight Fairies were driven into desperate straits to come up with such an exaggerated method to mobilize the emotions of the apostles.

The Abyss Devils who came up with this plan could be called geniuses in psychology and hype planning. Even if they were placed in the Earth Federation, they would probably be the CEO of a large planning company.

No matter how slow the teleportation was, it would only take ten seconds to cross a thousand meters. The scene before the apostles flickered, and when their bodies once again emerged from the dimensional space and condensed into a physical body, their doubts and dissatisfaction had dissipated, and they began to chat and talk about their new homeland.

As for some of the apostles who wanted to return to the Moonlight Forest, their thoughts had long been dispelled. They were deeply in love with the apostles. The more dissatisfied the apostles were, the more anxious they were to stay in the Corner of the Abyss. Even Qin Lun felt a faint excitement in his heart, and he was much more excited than he had been at the beginning.

The place where the apostles were now was the reception hall of the Corner of the Devil. This place was different from the beautiful garden style of the Moonlight Forest, and it was also different from the dirty environment around the Scorching Cliff, which was like the intestines of animals. It was filled with the aura of modern science and technology.

The walls were made up of bright and clean metal plates with laser lights embedded in them. Around the hall stood a few heavily armored Abyss Devil Guards, giving off a dignified and solemn feeling.

While the apostles were discussing, a beautiful, professional-dressed demonic girl entered the reception hall.

The professional suit outlined the demonic figure of a demonic girl. A pair of large white rabbits on their chests seemed to be ready to burst open their white shirts at any moment and jump out of the V-neck of the gown.

The moment this demonic girl, who was filled with the temptation of subduing, entered the hall, she immediately attracted the attention of many of the apostles. Even Qin Lun stopped thinking and took a few more glances.

‘”Sir Qin Lun, she is a charming demon. There are quite a few charming demon girls in the entertainment area of the Evil Demon Corner who provide special services. If you have time, you can visit there!” Qin Lun thought of Berylseth’s seductive words.

“Humph!” On the other side, the only elf who had followed the apostles into the Horn of the Abyss finally let out a cold groan of dissatisfaction for the first time.

Qin Lun turned around and glanced at the displeased Edeline. He sighed in his heart. Indeed, beautiful females could never coexist!
