Chapter 1289: The ninth floor of hell
Then, when the words fell, Baier made a loud laugh, but it was not a happy laugh, but a self-deprecating laugh. However, the laughter did not have any malice, it only showed the simplest feeling of disappointment. It was obvious that the person Baier was disappointed was not someone else, but himself.
"Hahahaha...hahahaha...I didn't expect...I really didn't expect that I, Baier, would actually lose to him when facing a living person with such a weak strength. Alas..."
Finally, when Byer's self-deprecating speech ended, his laughter gradually became smaller until it was eventually replaced by an increasingly obvious sigh.
Seeing this scene, Wuqi had no words. Because he knew how bad this feeling was. Not to mention Baier, if he encountered such a thing, he would be difficult to accept. In the field where he was most confident, he would actually lose to an opponent who was obviously weaker than him. This is not just a simple thing as disappointment, but also a shame.
Of course, for me, the sense of shame may not be so strong. Because I am not a combative person and I will not take the concept of victory or defeat so seriously. If Bayer hadn't proposed this time that he could only leave here if he wins, Wuqi wouldn't even want to have more conflicts with Bayer.
However, if this happens to a person as conceited as Bayer, the sense of shame will not be dissipated so easily. Wuqi knew that Bayer needed time to calm himself down, so he did not disturb him. This confidence comes from his understanding of Rhodes. In Wuqi's view, Bayer and Rhodes belong to the same type of people. The excessive self-confidence is.
As expected, it took Bayer a long time to calm down completely. After about half a day, Bayer's mood finally stopped feeling so uncomfortable. At this time, when Wuqi looked at him again, he was no longer so irritable. Instead, he smiled, as if he had let go of the burden in his heart and smiled relaxedly. He said, "Boy, you really made me look at him with admiration.
Although I really don’t want to let you go, but there is no way. Who made me swear first. Well, since that’s the case, I won’t continue talking nonsense with you anymore. You want to leave, right? Without further ado, go on the road now and enter this door. You can step into the next level of hell. I, Baier, don’t want to see you again in the future."
After saying this, Baier raised his hand and waved it gently in front of Wuqi. A black light as dark as ink flashed suddenly from his sleeves, hovering in the air, and instantly turned into a door and appeared in front of Wuqi. Wuqi and Xiaobai looked at each other and stepped in without any hesitation.
When he finally left, Wuqi didn't say a word, because it was not just that Baier didn't want to see him again, but he was actually like this? A terrible opponent like Baier was forced to let him go because of the threat of the poisonous oath. If it weren't for this, the other party would definitely repent.
Wuqi doesn't want to meet again like this, so he left without hesitation and did not look back.
The same is true for Xiaobai. Although Bayer has never really attacked Wuqi from beginning to end, and has not had a relatively more tragic death fight with Wuqi like the previous few guardians of hell, the vicious temperament emitted by Bayer made him very annoyed and worried. Since the other party was willing to let him go and took action, he naturally wanted it.
After entering the Black Gate, Wuqi and Xiaobai became a little excited.
"The next level of hell should be the ninth level of hell. Before we knew it, our journey was almost halfway through. Xiaobai, come on. It is not far from the last level of the destination." Wuqi even showed a long-lost smile and said relaxedly.
"Yes, boss. Xiaobai thought we would stop in the first few floors of hell, but he didn't expect that it would be too difficult to get to the present. However, Xiaobai is very confident now that as long as the boss is here, we will definitely arrive at the destination successfully." Xiaobai nodded, very excited. It had never thought that it would be able to accompany Wuqi all the way to the ninth floor and replied with a smile.
As soon as this said, the two of them subconsciously looked at each other and couldn't help but smile. A few seconds later, the passage connected to the dark gate was completed. After walking through the last passage, Wuqi and Xiaobai finally arrived at the ninth floor of hell, but it was fine if they didn't come to the ninth floor of hell. They really came to the ninth floor. Looking around, they couldn't help but feel dazed.
Because, to be honest, the environment here is inconsistent with the meaning of the word hell. It is obvious that this is hell, even if it is only the ninth level, it is not the most terrifying last level, but it does not even have the trembling wind that makes people feel trembling.
Hell should be filled with endless screams, which means that this is hell, and there are souls that are tortured by ordinary people, but here, Wuqi and Xiaobai stopped in the same place for a long time. With Xiaobai's extraordinary hearing, they could not even hear a scream. This was a bit strange, which made both of them feel a little confused for a moment.
Of course, if it were just this, it would naturally be impossible to make Wuqi and Xiaobai, two people who already had a little knowledge of hell, dazed. What really made them dazed when they arrived at the ninth level of hell was still the environment here.
In Wuqi and Xiaobai's impression, even if there are buildings in the first eight floors of hell, they are definitely the kind of buildings that are inconsistent and indescribable, but they can definitely bring a creepy feeling. Of course, there is an exception between Jenny's good spirits. All other buildings, including the hell guarded by Eric and Baier, almost all buildings have a cold and depressing feeling.
It is precisely this feeling that allows Wuqi and Xiaobai to firmly believe that this is hell, because if that feeling does not rely on the breath of a monk to protect his mind, it will definitely suffocate the monk. It is really too oppressive, just like the unique power of thoughts in hell, which can make you feel like you are sucked away by this building after just one look.
However, the environment on the ninth floor of Hell is completely different from the style of the first eight floors of Hell. Wuqi doesn't know why this is the case. Perhaps this floor happens to be at the center of the eighteenth floor of Hell. The buildings here cannot give me the danger of being oppressed and sucked away from my mind, but instead give me a particularly intimate feeling.
Because, here, Wuqi and Xiaobai saw the skyscrapers that were almost no different from the world at first sight. The styles of these skyscrapers are almost exactly the same as those of the world. The only difference is that the materials of these buildings are obviously higher, and almost every area is the same as the unbreakable walls that you encountered on the first few floors of hell.
Wuqi and Xiaobai glanced around briefly, and didn't know it without looking. When they saw it, they were shocked that there were so many high-rise buildings here that it was shocking, and it was no less than a thousand. No, if you put your vision wider and farther, you could see more. In other words, the number of high-rise buildings here is like a city on earth, which made Wuqi and Xiaobai a little confused and doubted for a moment.
Isn't this hell? But the earth? Did Baier finally deceive them that the door leads to not the ninth floor of hell, but the earth?
As soon as they thought about this, the two couldn't help but start to talk.
Xiaobai took the lead and said, "Boss, have we gone to the wrong place?"
"I don't know." Wuqi shook his head uncertainly, not saying anything.
"Why does Xiaobai feel like hell is not hell? It's just the world. Boss, the environment here is not only high-rise buildings, but also some other supporting facilities, including lawns, sidewalks, and even parks! It's so much like the world!"
"It's very similar. Did we really go wrong?"
Then, because the environment here is so similar to the human world, even Wuqi's heart is shaken and it becomes a little unbelievable.
Fortunately, this speculation ended up just staying in the minds of the two of them for a moment, and then disappeared, and it did not exist for too long.
Because, not long after, Wuqi and Xiaobai glanced around and found some things that could not exist on earth, making them convinced that this was not the earth, but the ninth floor of hell.
On the surface, the environment here is almost no big difference from the city on earth, but in fact, there is still a big difference between the residents living here and the city on earth.
In cities on earth, residents are basically humans. Although there are occasionally other races, such as some animals, elves who move to the city, or other less well-known races, no matter what race it is, as long as the residents living in the city are all living creatures.
And here, right in front of Wu Qi and Xiaobai, although the residents living in the world are not all humans, but also humans, and other races coexist, they are no longer living creatures. Looking around, they are all undead spirits, without physical bodies, and only souls in illusory forms.
It was precisely after seeing these that Wuqi and Xiaobai's inner doubts finally completely dissipated.
However, after dispelling the doubts in their hearts, they did not feel happy in their hearts, because soon, they encountered a new problem. Since this is a city where the necromancers live, how should they find the guardian of this level of hell? If they can't find it, what method should they use to go to the tenth level of hell?
As soon as he thought of this, Wuqi and Xiaobai looked at each other and couldn't help feeling helpless. There were so many undead here, and it seemed that they could only ask one by one.
"Boss..."
"Stop talking, Xiaobai. Let's go. Although there are many undead here, you can ask one by one and ask how to go to the next level of hell. Even if it takes a little more time, it doesn't matter. As long as there is such a possibility, we shouldn't be discouraged. OK, don't waste time anymore, let's set off now."
"Okay, boss, I'll listen to you."
