Chapter 601
You Walked Straight Into Hell
The deep, dark cave was cold, but the Ice Bear, walking alone, felt quite pleased. "No matter what, I've finally left the Abyss World's boundaries." For Ice Bear Luo Feng, the rest of Demonic Sound Mountain, outside the Abyss World, posed no threat. He advanced quickly, reaching the end of the deep cave in moments. The end was a junction where 395 cave passages converged. "Uh—" The Ice Bear looked around, bewildered. "Big trouble!" "This is really big trouble now." Ice Bear Luo Feng suddenly realized a problem. "My mind only remembers the route I took to get here! And now I can't go back the way I came..." In the Demonic Sound Mountain, one cave connected to hundreds, and any single cave connected to many others. The routes were incredibly complex, a true super-maze. Even the experts who ventured into Demonic Sound Mountain usually returned the way they came. If one didn't follow the original path and just wandered randomly... it might take countless years to escape the maze. "What to do?" "I've never been to this place before! Out of these 394 other caves, which one should I choose?" The Ice Bear looked at the massive caves before him, some winding upwards, some straight ahead, some twisting and turning, completely at a loss. An unknown path. And returning was not an option. Luo Feng's mind raced: "There's no other way, only one... find other humans!" Other humans should know the way out! After all, normally, if you can come in, you can go back! Encounters like Luo Feng's were extremely rare. ... Ice Bear Luo Feng randomly chose a cave and proceeded. Half a day later, "How unlucky, to run into an illusionary beast blocking the way. Good thing it's just a foolish Universe-level illusionary beast." A lean man, dressed in a yellow robe, with two silver-white horns on his forehead, was scrutinizing the Ice Bear illusionary beast before him. Then, he casually pulled out two large hammers from behind his back. Two crimson great hammers! "Foolish illusionary beast, fall before your master!" The lean man instantly streaked forward like a phantom, charging towards the Ice Bear illusionary beast. *Whoosh!* The Ice Bear swung its icy great paw, swift as lightning. "How is this possible? How can a Universe-level illusionary beast be so fast?" The lean man's eyes widened in terror. The great paw struck his body with terrifying speed, impossible for him to dodge, instantly crushing him into a pulp, then flinging him far away to smash against the nearby rock wall. The mangled corpse fell to the ground. The Ice Bear glanced at the corpse, then walked over and began searching it for items. "No intelligent optical computer? How unlucky." The Ice Bear's body instantly shifted, transforming into his Earthling true form. Luo Feng looked at the corpse before him, frowning: "I need to find a map to leave Demonic Sound Mountain, and maps... are usually memorized by experts. Also, intelligent optical computers carried close to the body usually record them automatically. But this guy doesn't have one." "Right, in Nine Star Sea, although some high-ranking individuals have intelligent optical computers. But it's still a native region, and those with intelligent optical computers are a minority!" Luo Feng was a bit annoyed. The native experts' memories did contain maps, but 'searching memories' was a troublesome task. Generally, 'soul-bewitching hypnosis' was the easiest, followed by forcibly destroying or erasing parts of memory. The hardest was analyzing and searching memories... Even soul masters who could easily erase someone's memory would find it extremely difficult to fully analyze and extract all the secrets within that person's memory. And the weakest of these natives were Universe-level. Universe-level experts already possessed strong soul power. Luo Feng could easily perform soul-bewitching hypnosis, but 'erasing memories' was already quite difficult, and directly searching someone else's memory was absolutely impossible! Perhaps only an Immortal God could directly search the entire memory of a Universe-level expert. "Hypnotize them to describe the map?" Luo Feng shook his head. "Demonic Sound Mountain is a super-maze, and its map is incredibly complex. A verbal description alone wouldn't be clear enough." "Grab a Universe-level guy and make him lead the way?" Luo Feng shook his head. "Still no good! My speed is very fast, and I don't need to worry about the demonic sounds... but those Universe-level natives must be careful of the demonic sounds, because if they accidentally encounter stronger demonic sounds, they'll become walking dead." After much thought, Luo Feng decided it was better to look for an 'intelligent optical computer'. Regardless, anyone who could come to Demonic Sound Mountain was considered an expert in Nine Star Sea. Probably about half of them would possess an intelligent optical computer. ... Luo Feng, disguised as a native, continued his journey. Demonic Sound Mountain was indeed quite chaotic. Anyone who encountered Luo Feng in the caves and thought they were stronger would actively try to kill him. ... Luo Feng spent over four days, killing 9 natives. Upon killing the 9th native, he finally obtained an intelligent optical computer from the native's arm. "Babata! Infiltrate this intelligent optical computer and find the map." Luo Feng immediately commanded. "Understood!" Babata quickly infiltrated the very ordinary intelligent optical computer. "I've found the map!" Babata exclaimed excitedly. "We'll be out soon!" "Oh?" A hint of joy appeared on Luo Feng's face. "Finally!" He could finally leave Demonic Sound Mountain; it had truly been difficult. *Rumble~~~* A powerful, invisible force instantly swept through the area. Luo Feng himself didn't notice anything, but Babata immediately shrieked: "Luo Feng, be careful! It's a World Force scan. There must be a Sector Lord expert nearby!" "Sector Lord?" Luo Feng frowned. Luo Feng didn't feel much fear towards Sector Lord experts. "19.3 kilometers away! 10 kilometers away, he's here!" Babata shrieked. Luo Feng frowned, looking into the distance of the wide, deep, cold cave. A ghostly figure rapidly appeared. It had silver-gray skin, no hair, two ferocious black horns on its forehead, and eyes that scrutinized Luo Feng like a lion observing its prey. Its entire being exuded a natural aura of evil. "You, a mere Universe-level Ninth Tier brat, actually managed to kill a Domain Lord Third Tier warrior!" the silver-skinned Sector Lord said coldly. "It seems you possess some treasure." Luo Feng, however, looked at him indifferently, then suddenly turned and ran. *Whoosh!* Luo Feng ran incredibly fast. "Trying to escape?" The silver-skinned Sector Lord quickly gave chase. "Babata, what's this guy's strength?" While running, Luo Feng quickly switched to his Demon Killer Clan clone. The clone's appearance was identical to the native Luo Feng was currently disguised as. "Sector Lord Fifth Tier!" Babata said. "Oh, only Sector Lord Fifth Tier?" A smile appeared on Demon Killer Clan Luo Feng's face. "Little one, you can't escape!" The chilling voice echoed in Luo Feng's ears. The figure almost simultaneously appeared in front of Luo Feng, but Demon Killer Clan Luo Feng's body flickered strangely, turning back to continue running. At the same time, a seemingly simple laser gun appeared in his hand. An E9-grade laser gun! This laser gun possessed the unique style of the Mechanical Race—simplicity! "Is that the weapon you used to kill a Domain Lord Third Tier? Looks like a laser gun, haha, that's a rare item." The silver-skinned Sector Lord's voice echoed, but he lunged directly at Luo Feng with astonishing speed. *Whoosh!* The Demon Killer Clan clone's figure sharply twisted and flickered, easily evading the lunge. "What?!" The silver-skinned Sector Lord's expression changed drastically. The sudden burst of speed displayed by Demon Killer Clan Luo Feng's twist and flicker was simply incredible! Even he, a dignified Sector Lord Fifth Tier expert, couldn't keep up. *Beep!* The E9-grade laser gun's indicator light, red off, green on. 0.1 seconds had passed! Charging complete! *Pfft!* Luo Feng lightly pressed the button, looking indifferently at the enraged Sector Lord, his lips moving slightly, silently uttering three words, "Go to hell!" An intensely dazzling white beam of light instantly pierced through the Sector Lord, then through the icy rock wall behind him. The ice instantly melted and boiled into gas, and the black rock directly cracked. At the same time, the entire deep cave, from its previous ultra-low temperature, instantly reached an ultra-high temperature. The drastic temperature change caused cold air from other areas to spread in. Soon, the surroundings became completely cold again. *Crunch! Crunch!* Luo Feng stepped on some broken ice, walking towards the almost completely vaporized corpse. All that remained of the corpse were some remnants of battle armor. "Hell had no gates, yet you walked straight in to die. Who can you blame?" Luo Feng knelt down, quickly finding the Sector Lord's spatial ring. His mental force directly entered it, and upon seeing its contents, a look of joy appeared on his face. "Haha!" "Not only did you come to die, but you also brought treasures! A Sector Lord is indeed a Sector Lord; there are so many black tokens." Luo Feng was overjoyed, placing a pile of black tokens into his spatial ring. "With this batch of black tokens, my total count is now over 9,800. Just a little more to reach ten thousand." Before undergoing the Demonic Sound God General's inheritance, Luo Feng had already acquired a great many black tokens, nearly 8,000. Adding what he just gained, the total was now close to 10,000. Just over a hundred more! "A hundred-plus black tokens should be easy to collect. Just running into a Domain Lord Eighth or Ninth Tier might be enough." Luo Feng, in a cheerful mood, began to leave according to the map. On his way out, he encountered over a dozen people. With Luo Feng's Earthling true form displaying 'Universe-level Ninth Tier' strength, he indeed attracted many native Domain Lords who tried to kill him. Naturally, all were easily dealt with by Luo Feng, which also caused his total collected black tokens to naturally rise to 10,000. "Haha, I'm finally out! I've left this super-maze, Demonic Sound Mountain!" Luo Feng laughed heartily as he flew directly out of the outermost cave entrance of Demonic Sound Mountain.
