    After crossing the rolling rocky land, what appeared in front of us was a vast plain with no boundaries.

    This is a vast area with red as the main color. All you step on is red gravel, which makes a "squeaking" sound when you step on it.  After Roland and Bast walked several kilometers on this unobstructed land with footprints of different shades, a towering flora finally appeared on the horizon.

    A community of giant abyssal mushrooms.

    The towering giant mushrooms are generally more than forty meters in height, with thick milky white mushroom pillars supporting dark brown mushroom crowns.  It casts a broad shadow on the ground, which is spectacular from a distance.

    The Endless Abyss is a world with a dangerous environment. In many abyss areas, giant abyss mushrooms are an essential source of life for the creatures there.  This huge plant can absorb free moisture in the air with its unique structure of the mushroom body and store a large amount of water in the mushroom column, making it an ideal water source for many abyssal creatures.

    Of course, if you approach this plant rashly without preparation, most of the consequences will be to become the food of this plant.

    In fact, the abyssal giant mushroom is quite dangerous.  Once a greedy creature approaches the giant mushroom, the plant's mushroom crown will emit a burst of strong poisonous gas that covers the surrounding area for hundreds of meters.  This deadly poisonous gas is extremely dangerous and can poison and kill most living creatures in just a few seconds, with the bones corroded into blood and water without any trace.

    After that, with the developed roots buried deep under the earth, the unlucky intruders became the nutrients for the giant abyss mushroom to maintain its own survival.

    The poisonous gas of a single Abyss Giant Mushroom may not be considered powerful, and it is not fatal to some powerful creatures.  But once dozens of abyss giant mushrooms form a community, the power of the poisonous gas they jointly erupt will increase exponentially. Even the truly powerful are not willing to mess with this type of giant mushroom community.

    The giant abyss mushroom community in front extended for more than two kilometers. For Roland and Bast, who were well aware of their danger, this was a natural barrier. They chose to turn around and avoid the towering giant mushroom community.  .

    When they moved forward for a certain distance again, a burst of smoke suddenly rose from the distant horizon.

    Roland and Bast both have excellent eyesight, so they saw the figure in the smoke clearly at the first opportunity.

    That was a troop of cavalry.

    Amidst the roar of the beasts, dozens of monsters carrying cavalry on their backs gradually approached the direction of Roland and Bast.  These monsters all have thick and powerful hind limbs, running with their feet on the ground, and their forelimbs are relatively slender with sharp hooks and claws.  The monsters are quite large, with a shoulder height of nearly two meters. They have a huge dragon-like head and sharp, jagged teeth. At first glance, they are definitely not benign.

    This is a kind of abyss creature called Velociraptor. They have very thin dragon blood and are extremely ferocious.  Velociraptor's endurance is excellent, and its short-distance sprinting ability is even more outstanding. Therefore, in the memory of the evil flame demon, it has become a mount raised by the demon army on a large scale.

    There is no doubt that what is in front of us is an army of demons.

    Behind this team of Velociraptor Cavalry, four slightly larger Velociraptors took on the role of pulling carts, pulling four carts nearly seven meters long, carrying dozens of huge carts.  barrel.  Around the cart, more than twenty short creatures with membrane wings were flying in the air, holding ropes to help pull it.  These short creatures are only about one and a half meters tall, with short white horns and brick-red scaly skin mixed with yellow spots.

    The purgatory kobolds are distant relatives of the kobolds in the main material world who are often treated as clowns by mortals. Of course, unlike the kobolds, the purgatory kobolds are much more powerful, and more importantly, they can fly.  But in the abyss world where the jungle is strong.  The Purgatory Kobold's strength is only the bottom character.  In areas ruled by demons, this creature is synonymous with cannon fodder and slaves.

    The weight of the four carts is not very light, so their movement speed is relatively slow. The more than twenty purgatory kobolds flying in the air seem to have used all their strength, but in the eyes of the demon cavalry,  Li was not satisfied with this.

    A demon cavalry riding a velociraptor broke away from the queue, and then drove the velociraptor towards the four carts behind. The demon cavalry pulled out a long leather whip and slashed his head and face.  He greeted the purgatory kobolds in the air, cursing constantly on his lips: "You damn things, why don't you hurry up!"

    The purgatory kobolds who were struck by the whip did not dare to dodge at all. The whips of the demon cavalry left bloody marks on their bodies. One or two purgatory kobolds with a slightly weaker physique were whipped to the ground., but they struggled to get up immediately, with fearful eyes in their eyes, following their partners in front, and re-picked up the fallen rope.

    Under the unceremonious "urging" of the demon cavalry, the speed of the four heavy carts indeed seemed to be faster.

    Roland calculated the route of this team in his mind. It seemed that they should be heading towards the abyss giant mushroom community outside Lixu.

    As the distance gradually approached, the figures of Roland and Bast also came into view of this group of demon cavalry.  A demon cavalry leader glanced at Roland's position frequently, seeming to be sizing them up.

    Finally, when the distance between the two sides was less than a few hundred meters, the leader of the demon cavalry suddenly waved his hand, and a small group of demon cavalry separated from the larger team. Under the leadership of the leader, the demon cavalry rode  The Velociraptor gallops closer.

    The large team kept its direction of travel unchanged and headed towards the abyss giant mushroom community in the distance.

    Seeing the demon cavalry galloping towards them, Evil Flame Demon Bast couldn't help but show a look of surprise and vigilance on his face, but that was all.  In his impression, the demons are a race that abides by order very much. Under normal circumstances, they would never attack the two travelers without any reason.

    The demon cavalry charging straight at them stopped the Velociraptor at a distance of more than ten meters. These sturdy monsters let out a low roar, and the demon cavalry headed by them stood out from the crowd, their eyes specially focused on Roland's body like a thorn.  He stayed on the heavy armor for a long time, and then asked in a deep voice in the language of the demon world: "Outsiders, where do you come from?"

    This demon is tall and has sharp eyes. If he didn't have the purple eyes, the demon's most distinctive feature, he would be almost indistinguishable from humans.  He wore a heavy horned helmet on his head, and the top of the horned helmet was decorated with bright red feathers to distinguish him from the demon cavalry behind him.

    This line of cavalry all wore standard light leather armor, even the leader was no exception. This made Roland and Bast find it quite puzzling. In the memory of the evil flame demon, the demon army relied on their power to dominate the world.  The Endless Plane enjoys a great reputation, and the strength of an army is first reflected in their equipment. The light leather armor of the cavalry in front of them has such a difference in defense that it would make no difference even if they didn't wear it.

    Such shabby standard equipment of the demon army is completely incompatible with the impression in the memory of the evil flame demon.
