015 Arkham Town
"One day, the bloody night tide will come to the world again. I hope I can live until that day. By then, all creatures in the spiritual hell dungeon will pour into the world. Demon spirits, zombies, skeletons, ghouls... Haha, I can set foot on the land of the world again."
——Excerpt from the Book of Taboos
*******
Dungeon of Spirit Hell.
After the immortal Qiao came out of the bar, he encountered the Black Nightmare Mist and was convinced that he fell into the spiritual hell dungeon again (he didn't know that he was sent to the spiritual hell by Shen Xing).
He climbed up the hill.
Standing on the high ground and looking around, there is an endless swamp in front of you.
According to past experience, you have to wading through this swamp to find something to eat.
Unfortunately, he fell into the edge of the Dungeon of Spiritual Hell, where there was nothing to fill his stomach except the endless fog of the black nightmare.
As a great pathfinder, the immortal Qiao has rich experience in secret exploration. Even in an extremely dangerous, terrifying and crazy place like the Spirit Prison, he can accurately determine which direction is the safe shelter without a map.
Those Arkham towns must be found as soon as possible, otherwise it will be difficult for him to stick with it anymore.
The word "Arkham" comes from the "Gods" in the book of taboos.
"Arkham" means "black, broken, unstable, between reality and dreams, a small piece of space created by those dying gods or demons who have been dying, using their short-lived memories before they completely disappear. This space retains His will, which means that He is still alive in the world, although they are dead."
There are countless Arkhams in the Spirit Prison. Some Arkhams are so small that they are only as big as small villages. Pathfinders call them Arkham villages, where clean water or food should be found in the village.
Some Arkhams are larger, covering an entire town or block, or even an entire city. Pathfinders generally call them "Arkham Towns".
Of course, every small town of Arkham has its own name, and it is often related to the gods or demons who created it.
For example: Jennifer's Rose Town, Xu Haoran's Taoyuan Township, Georgia's Menggui Street, King Lisse's Gray Castle, Qiu Erniang's Beast Paradise, Ximen Chuxue's Wanmei Villa, Huang Yaoshi's Peach Blossom Island...
In short, the Dungeon of Spiritual Hell is the territory of the Demon Lord, with only one thing being the exception. The towns of Arkham are scattered on the lord's territory like shelter for the demon spirits and zombies to live.
The fear of the demon lord cannot reach there and will be isolated from the will of their creators, those gods or demons.
The nearest town of Arkham must be found or you will die.
The immortal Joe looked up at the sky again.
Above my head was a scarlet bloody night, with thick black clouds.
There is not much difference between day and night in the Spirit Prison. The day is gloomy and the night is gray.
The immortal Qiao blocked the ear hole with his fingers.
He could no longer bear the damn disgusting sound of being spitty, and from time to time, the extremely miserable "Save me, save me, save me..."
These are all the useless cry for help from the undead whose souls remained in the air after being swallowed by the evil beasts, and their souls were not completely dissipated. These cry for help came from a very far place, but in fact, their master had already died for a long time.
The immortal Qiao stayed in Lingzhu for almost fourteen years in total, and most of the time he spent traveling long distances in such wilderness, leaving one small town and heading to another town thousands of miles away.
This harsh environment makes many practitioners who are taking risks in the Spirit Prison very uncomfortable. They would rather stay in a small town than come out and hang out.
But the situation like the Immortal Qiao who lost the boundary stone and was in the wild is going to be terrible. He cannot disguise himself as a demon spirit, so he has to resist the terrifying fear attack of the Demon Lord.
This endless pain and torture is not something that ordinary people can bear, so no matter what, he must first find the town of Arkham, try to survive, and then think about whether it is possible to return to the world.
...
There were evil demon puppet beasts wandering in groups of three or three in the swamp ahead.
The immortal Joe knows these disgusting guys well.
The evil beasts of demon puppets are not the kind of monsters in nature that people usually understand. In short, they are the descendants of the demon god lord, and they are the kind of dandruff.
The Demon Lords spend most of their time sleeping. Sometimes they wake up in a daze, their bodies will swell rapidly, and the dirty, nauseous sarcoma on their skin will fall off.
These sarcomas will try to stay away from the lord and avoid being swallowed by them. They will roll to a very far place, the farther away from the lord, the better.
During this period, they often encounter us humans, demon spirits or zombies, and foreign creatures like the Immortal Joe.
Sarcoma solidifies its own form into the shape of creatures it can see, usually we humans, followed by ferocious beasts who also fall into the spiritual prison after death.
Because the evil beasts are special creatures with only will and almost no thoughts or extremely naive thoughts, their appreciation and imitation ability is really bad, and they can only imitate rough outlines, often missing many details.
Some evil beasts have eyebrows, eyes and noses on their entire faces, and only have a bloody mouth to swallow, but they may have a pair of donkey ears, and there may be an eye hidden in their ears. If you stab it hard with a dagger, you can make it... your ears blind.
All the evil beasts of demon puppets are naked and wear no clothes.
But please rest assured that they will definitely not imitate the organs that will be harmonious, because they have no reproductive power, they are just dandruff of the demon lord.
The Immortal Joe applied their blood to his body to confuse them.
He had made up his mind to wade through the swamp to find the nearest town of Arkham, where there were food, kind demons and zombies, and perhaps a few more fellow travelers.
If they see themselves, they will definitely go crazy, just like hiding on an isolated island that they can rarely see their living kind. They will definitely invite themselves to have a few drinks and then chat all night long...
He walked forward carefully, not daring to speak, not even breathing heavily.
A demon puppet who was smaller than him slowly approached him.
This disgusting guy looked like a muddy man, with a wet and sticky dark gray skin.
It seemed that it had discovered the aura of an alien creature on the immortal Qiao, but it was very uncertain, so it approached a little closer.
The immortal Qiao stood still and quickly restrained his breath.
He sweats violently at this moment!
Almost discovered.
Fortunately, he is a great pathfinder, knows how to restrain his breath and confuse these stupid guys, otherwise he would have been chased endlessly by them, and then tore them into pieces and stuffed them into their mouths.
The human-shaped demon puppet walked away clumsily and walked into the waist-deep swamp pit. The whole body began to melt from top to bottom, melting in the stagnant water like dark gray chocolate.
Very dangerous!
The immortal Qiao should be more careful now. The potholes in front may be traps. If you don’t carefully distinguish the color of the water, you may step into the monster’s mouth with one foot.
The immortal Joe was a little sad.
He had experienced the terrifying war on the Dungeon of Spirit Hell, a war of not a big scale. Although only thousands of people were fighting, the terror of that kind of war was far beyond the human world.
The battlefield was full of broken limbs and broken arms. They were still able to move and were desperately trying to find other corpses to piece together themselves. The zombies whose heads were cut off will continue to attack their opponents fiercely until they were completely crushed and eventually burned into a pile of powder before they completely calm down.
Suddenly, the entire surrounding environment changed drastically!
