I want to be the Grand Duke of the Abyss

Chapter 5 Scarlet Castle
In the interior of the abyss, there are various lord castles and medium and large cities.

However, different levels and planes have different lord powers, and Jiang Fan doesn't know what the situation is like on the 899th floor.

The bottomless abyss plane is vast, and there are not only demons, but also various other creatures.

The skeleton warrior killed before was a kind of ownerless dark creature, but it had lost its intelligence.

Some high-level abyss creatures and dark creatures also need to form a force.It can be used to conquer all directions and plunder resources for its evolution; or it can be used to gather faith and seek higher-level advancement. Therefore, forces centered on abyssal castles and cities have emerged.

In the legend, there are killings and battles everywhere, and only low-level planes above 300 levels exist.

The deeper the level and the stronger the rules of the abyss plane, the higher the degree of order in it.

Like Jiang Fan's 899th plane, there is not much difference between the city and human society, except that the races and power classes are more distinct and strict.

Although most of the high-level abyss creatures still belong to the chaotic camp, there are also camp subdivisions such as chaotic good, chaotic neutral and chaotic evil.

As long as powerful creatures are separated from low-level bloodlines, they will not be eroded by the will of the abyss to the point where they only know how to kill, and they are also rational.

Every move of a high-level demon has its own purpose, and the more powerful bosses have far-reaching thoughts and grand plans.

To put it bluntly, chaos is just a camp. At most, it is reflected in the way and means of pursuing desire, power, etc., and it will not affect the wisdom of the demon clan itself.

"If you want to reach the nearest abyssal city, you have to find a teleportation array, otherwise it will be too dangerous to walk along this way."

Jiang Fan thought carefully.

Teleportation arrays are not uncommon in the abyss.

In addition to the essentials in castles and cities, there are also more or less teleportation arrays in many maps.Countless teleportation routes span the void, connecting the abyssal planes, which is extremely convenient.

Since there are many abyssal creatures in the wilds of the abyss, if you just go to the city on foot, if you encounter a higher-level species on the way, it is normal for you to be in a bad mood and devour them as evolutionary food.

At that time, Jiang Fan will most likely be turned into nutrients, which will then be excreted out of the body and fed back to the nature of the abyss.

This is much better than parkour.
Those who have been wandering in the wilds of the abyss are either powerful high-level species or tribes traveling alone, or they are ownerless dark creatures that have been summoned.

The only ones left are these dumb green evil demons that were just born on the banks of the River Styx.

But as long as Jiang Fan can reach the city, Jiang Fan will be relatively safe from now on.

Abyss cities vary in size depending on the strength of the lord.

Generally speaking, Silver and Gold-level people are qualified to open up castles. Their territories are often small in area, which is equivalent to small villages and towns of the human race in Allen Continent.

And powerful ones, such as the legendary creature Grand Duke of the Abyss, have opened up a city that is as large as a major human city.

The walls of abyssal cities are usually engraved with mysterious chaos runes.

Within the city, the influence of the Will of the Abyss will be compressed to a minimum.Therefore, when living in the city, you no longer need to worry about encountering unprovoked killings, and the safety factor is greatly improved.

In some prosperous abyss cities, you can see the endless flow of trade between countless abyssal races and other creatures.

Many abyss lords who were human souls in their previous lives even like to build cities that are no different from human cities after awakening, with markets, restaurants, etc. all visible in the city.

But the price of enjoying safety is the high cost of survival in the city and the stagnant improvement in strength.

The rune array blocked the erosion of the will of the abyss, but also blocked the absorption of the power of the abyss.In the city, the power of the abyss in the air is isolated, and it is no longer possible to rely on the body's automatic absorption to increase the level.

In addition, if the city is attacked by hostile forces, the lord has the right to forcibly recruit the city's residents to fight.

Therefore, the more powerful a lord is, the safer his city will be, and the greater the number of creatures of all races living in it.

Jiang Fan looked at the map function that appeared on the panel after the upgrade. Except for the bank of the River Styx where he was currently, the rest of the place was pitch black. He had to explore it before he could mark the coordinates on the map.

In the lighted area, there are scattered small red dots in twos and threes, and in the center is a green circle that is constantly flashing.

Jiang Fan looked at something that was somewhat similar to a player's map in his previous life. He raised his head and glanced at the little lemures scattered around him. After comparing it with the map, he realized that the green circle was Jiang Fan himself!

The red dots are other creatures besides him.

"In this case, it will be much more convenient to find monsters to upgrade in the future. Unfortunately, the currently lit area is too small and needs to be further expanded!"

After thinking for a while, Jiang Fan hurried towards the hill he saw before.

Based on the map size of the many hills there, and based on his experience in exploring the abyss in his previous life, he guessed that there was a high probability of a teleportation array.

If you want to get rich, build roads first. Big bosses from other worlds also understand that transportation efficiency determines productivity.

[You discovered the Scarlet Valley, experience +15]

Stepping into the mountains, the smell of blood and a strong smell of decay hit your nose.

There are still many uneaten flesh and blood limbs and bone sticks on the ground. They must have experienced battles and killings as a battlefield not long ago.

Jiang Fan looked around carefully, trying not to make too much noise to avoid attracting some powerful monsters.

"found it!"

After wandering around for about a cup of tea, Jiang Fan's eyes suddenly brightened after turning around a rather large hill again.

He leaned out from behind the stone wall of the hill, and finally, a complete stone altar came into view.

Jiang Fan first observed the environment around the altar, and after seeing nothing unusual, he quickly walked over.

This is a small directional teleportation array, consisting of only two layers of stone steps.

Around the circular stone platform on the upper level, there is a circle of devilish runes engraved on it. In the center of the rune circle is a triangle-like pattern, which is a rune array that symbolizes the power of space.

A mottled white stone pillar stands in the center of the stone steps, with a basin burning with abyss fire at the top. Mottled marks are all over the stone pillar, indicating the long history that this altar has experienced.

Since he had already used this small directional teleportation array before traveling through time, Jiang Fan was no stranger to it.

He took out 5 soul coins from the panel space and threw them into the basin. The flames instantly rose and swallowed up the soul coins. Then a faint air flowed to the rune array below. All the runes around the stone platform were lit up. This process happened quickly in an instant. Finish.

"call out!"

A frameless portal emitting gleaming light suddenly appeared.

"I still don't know which city this teleportation array can locate."

Jiang Fan composed himself, stepped into the door and disappeared.After a slight feeling of dizziness, when he opened his eyes again, he had appeared on another huge teleportation altar.

[You discovered the Scarlet Castle, experience +50]

The altar in front of you should be located in a bustling commercial area of ​​a city.

Two extremely wide stone roads intersect in the center of the square not far away. Houses and shop buildings of different shapes are located on both sides of the road. Various demonic creatures and dark creatures are constantly coming and going, and there are even endless traffic. A few other foreign captives were occasionally escorted through.

"Look at this bustling energy, it looks like a big city." Jiang Fan's heart moved and he walked towards the altar.

"The lord's strength must not be simple."

In the abyss, the bigger the city, the safer it is; at the same time, the bigger the city, the stronger the power of the lord.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to resist the covetousness of many chaotic creatures in the abyss.

The streets are filled with various shops, including chambers of commerce, tooth shops, weapons shops, etc. Large demonic runes are engraved on the stone signboards of the shops.

Jiang Fan stopped and walked, observing and waiting for the panel to record. After a while, he came to the door of a tavern.

He thought for a moment, stopped, turned around and walked into the door.

If you want to get to know an unfamiliar city first, there is no better or faster place than a tavern.

In the center of the tavern is a wooden round bar, with an oily luster as if it had been newly painted.

Three or two dark elves with handsome looks and beautiful figures were busy inside.

Several tall orcs and demonic creatures were sitting loosely around the bar, drinking heavily.

Just by looking at their excited emotions and the spitting stars flying around, you can tell that the wine must taste good.

Already drunk~
From time to time, the impetuous Sword Demon would secretly stretch out his hands and rub oil on the erect parts of the dark elf passing by, and then use his high agility to quickly pull away, pretending to be nonchalant.

The elf waiters were not angry either. They laughed and cursed a few times and walked away quickly.

As expected of Zhuoer who is famous for his "freedom and openness"!
Praise the Elven God!

Just looking at the scene in front of him has brought back many memories in Jiang Fan's mind.In a daze, he even thought he was back in the continent of Allen, finishing downloading the dungeon with his friends and enjoying themselves in the tavern.

"Huh? Eric, he is a member of your race."

At a table next to the corner, a four-armed sword demon saw Jiang Fan coming in and the Skeleton Scythe in his hand, and then said to his companion: "It looks a bit strange, it seems that he has just awakened." Soon."

Next to him was a tall night devil.

Just by looking at the gorgeous thick black wings and the powerful aura that he inadvertently exudes, you can tell that his strength far exceeds that of a hottie like Jiang Fan.

The Night Demon known as Eric raised his head and glanced at Jiang Fan, then raised his eyebrows and looked away without responding to his companion's words.

The spiritual attributes and will attributes of the Night Demons have extremely high growth potential, but because of this, the average Night Demons are relatively calm and quiet, unlike the hot-tempered Fire Demons and the restless Sword Demons who talk as much.

"Haha, you night demons are so indifferent to your fellow tribesmen."

When the four-armed sword demon saw that the night demon didn't respond, he smiled.

"Go away if you don't drink."

Four words popped out of the Night Demon's mouth, known as Eric.

"Huh, boring..." Sword Demon muttered and said nothing.

Jiang Fan, who walked into the tavern on the other side, had already been led by the elf waiter to sit down at an empty table.

"This gentleman looks strange. What would you like to drink?"

The dark elf waiter looked at Jiang Fan with his smart eyes, and his bright red lips slightly parted: "The specialty of our tavern, 'The Sorrow of Darkness', has always been loved by the Night Demons. Would you like to try a drink?"

The elves are also a race with relatively high potential, and are mainly divided into several subraces such as blood elves, wood elves, moon elves, night elves and dark elves.There are many sub-races in the lawful camp, but dark elves are not included.

Dark elves, also known as drow elves, belong to an evil camp branch of the elves, mainly active in the abyss and some alien planes.

Their appearance is enchanting, beautiful, charming and sexy.

The drows, who have a strong affinity for darkness, have beautiful long hair, pointed ears, and slender figures, making their appearance extremely attractive.It can be used to lure others, or it can be turned into a weapon against the enemy.

After all, it would be difficult for ordinary people to refuse the approach of such a beauty.

Although she may want to suck your essence or lick your waist later.

There was a hint of cunning in the lavender eyes of the dark elf in front of him. His long hair had already reached his pert buttocks, and the ends were tied up with a metal hair button, making him look both playful and sexy.

If Jiang Fan hadn't been familiar with their race, he would have appreciated it.

"The Sorrow of Darkness?" Jiang Fan smiled shyly, "You can tell by the name. She must be as charming as my sister. Give me a drink."

"Chuckles."

The elf waiter pursed his lips and smiled charmingly, and his clear voice made people's hearts flutter: "Chenghui 30 soul coins."

so dark!

30 soul coins, how many lemure brothers have to be killed?

Jiang Fan's heart ached, but he took out 60 soul coins from the panel without changing his expression, and then put them into the elf waiter's tray.

The elf messenger saw it, and there was nothing unusual about it. He just thought he had some secret space item.

"I wonder, would you be honored to invite my sister to have a drink with you?"

"of course."

The waiter once again glanced at Jiang Fan's young and delicate face, and agreed with a smile.

Then, he turned around and swayed his light body away, leaving a fruity fragrance lingering in Jiang Fan's nostrils, which took a long time to dissipate.

What a goblin.
