Chapter 113 Hu Liena's Surprise. The Key to Little Lin's Soul Core Condensation!
"Nana, take a rest for a while."
"Phew~"
Hu Liena stopped, panting heavily. She took the water Dugu Lin handed her and drank several large gulps. She said in a deep voice, "We've probably walked about ten miles, haven't we? The altitude we've climbed is definitely above ground level!"
Upon hearing this, Dugu Lin explained, "Although the entrance to the City of Slaughter is on the continent, I suspect that the true location of the City of Slaughter is an alternate dimension! It does not exist on the Douluo Continent!"
"An alternate dimension?" This was the first time Hu Liena had ever heard the term "alternate dimension."
"To put it simply, Spirit Hall possesses the inheritance of the Angel God's position, and the place of inheritance for the Angel God is an independent alternate dimension! Do you understand now?"
"A deity? A legacy? You..." Hu Liena was startled and quickly asked, "You mean, the City of Slaughter is a space for the legacy of a deity?"
"Who knows?" Dugu Lin shrugged and laughed, "To create such a grand space and gather countless fallen evil Spirit Masters, it would be unreasonable to say there's no divine inheritance involved, would it?"
Thump thump thump~
Hu Liena's heart pounded, and her mouth went dry as she asked, "So, by passing the Hell Road test, we are actually completing the gods' test?"
"Maybe it is, maybe it isn't."
Dugu Lin gave an ambiguous explanation: "In short, the trials of the gods are not as simple as you imagine! Even if we pass the Hell Road, we may only obtain the qualification to participate in the trials of the gods! How easy is it to obtain the inheritance of the gods?"
"Hmm, that makes sense. I heard from my teacher that nearly ten people have obtained the God of Slaughter Domain by passing through the Hell Road over the past thousand years! However, I have never heard of anyone obtaining the inheritance of a god."
"Let's not talk about this anymore, let's get some rest. Would you like to eat something first?"
The words had barely left his mouth, and before he could even take out his rations, he heard something flying over from not far ahead.
A dark gold three-headed bat king with a wingspan of nearly twenty meters flapped its wings and flew over!
"What is this thing? It has three heads!" Hu Liena exclaimed warily.
"That's the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King!" Dugu Lin was slightly surprised, thinking, 'According to the plot, shouldn't the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King be hanging on the stone path ahead, waiting for us? It can't be that it saw us resting and then came over to stop us from resting, right?'
Hu Liena said nervously, "Dugu, it looks very strong! Are you confident?"
"Leave it to me!"
Dugu Lin chuckled and then called out, "Little Lin, come out!"
"Hiss!"
The next second, a Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor, over twenty meters long, appeared out of thin air, shot out like lightning, and bit the middle head of the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King.
At the same time, under the inertial impact of the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor, the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King was directly slammed into the underground magma and shot away!
"Squeak Squeak" The Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King screamed, while its other two heads also bit down on the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor.
The bat's teeth pierced his scales, and Dugu Lin could clearly feel the stinging pain in his neck.
"Dugu... your pet!" Hu Liena cried out as she watched the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor and the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King fall together.
"Who said he's my pet?"
"Huh?" Hu Liena turned to look at Dugu Lin, her eyes filled with disbelief, and said urgently, "Even if he wasn't your pet, you can't just let him die like that, can you?"
Dugu Lin smiled and called out, "Little Lin, come back!"
The next moment, Little Lin transformed into pure soul power and merged into Dugu Lin's body. Meanwhile, the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King plunged into the lava with a splash, sending up a spray of lava ten meters high!
"This...this..." In a daze, Hu Liena remembered the information she had seen about Dugu Lin: a separated martial soul!
It turns out that she had been the one who had preconceived the idea that the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor was Dugu Lin's pet!
"Is he your martial soul?"
"Yes. Alright, let's keep going."
"Oh...oh!" Hu Liena swallowed hard, her heart filled with shock!
"Ah!" Suddenly, Hu Liena, who was somewhat absent-minded, lost her footing and almost fell.
Fortunately, Dugu Lin reacted quickly and grabbed her, asking, "What are you daydreaming about?"
"It's alright! Let's keep going."
The two continued forward, getting closer and closer to the lava beneath their feet, and the temperature rose higher and higher.
Hu Liena sniffed and asked, "Do you smell a familiar scent of blood?"
Dugu Lin glanced at the lava beneath his feet and pondered, "I'm afraid what lies beneath the abyss isn't just simple lava!"
"You mean... the blood of the fallen?"
"That's about right! Let's not worry about that anymore! Getting through Hell Road is what we should be doing now!"
"Phew~ Good!" Hu Liena's breathing was a little disordered; the increasingly high temperature was making it hard for her to cope.
About an hour later, Hu Liena stopped and said, "I can't hold on much longer! Can I rest for a while?"
"Okay." The two paused for a while and drank some water, but it did nothing to help restore their soul power and physical strength.
Hu Liena wiped the sweat from her forehead and said, "I don't know what dangers lie ahead, and my soul power is being used up in huge quantities! I don't know if I can hold on for the rest of the way!"
"Don't worry, my soul power is still very strong!"
"Phew~ Dugu, thank you! If it weren't for you, I... I might not have been able to survive alone in the City of Slaughter!"
Hu Liena hugged Dugu Lin tightly, seemingly moved by his emotions!
Dugu Lin sensed the heat and restlessness emanating from Hu Liena's body and said softly, "Nana, your emotions are very unstable. You're filled with murderous intent and desire! Take some medicine and try to control your emotions!"
"I... um!" Hu Liena was startled, thinking: 'This is the Road to Hell... I actually wanted to talk to Dugu Lin here... huff huff~'
After taking a couple of deep breaths, Hu Liena took some more tranquilizers, then closed her eyes and calmed herself down.
"Is it the effect of magma and blood?" Dugu Lin glanced at the magma beneath his feet and made a guess.
After a moment, seeing that Hu Liena had calmed down a bit, he said, "Alright, let's keep going! We're probably almost at the end!"
After traveling no more than a kilometer further, a crimson snake was seen coiled on a huge stone pillar, about a hundred meters high, in front of Hell Road, slowly swimming upwards.
"It's a snake!" Hu Liena gave Dugu Lin a strange look. When it comes to playing with snakes, who can compare to him?
Dugu Lin said in a deep voice, "That is... an ancient exotic species: the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent!"
"An ancient species?"
"I read about this kind of snake in an ancient book. It is said that the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent lives in extremely hot environments! I never expected to encounter it here today!"
"Gulp~ Dugu, let's join forces!"
"No need! Leave it to me!"
Dugu Lin was determined to obtain the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent, especially its inner core!
Because this inner core is crucial for Little Lin to condense his soul core!
