Chapter 1651: No ticket, pay with flesh

~8 min read 1,544 words

The snot creature seemed to be able to transform into any appearance. Su Xiao saw a very thin tentacle probe out from its body. Because the tentacle was too thin, it was almost translucent. What was even more surprising was that this tentacle could actually shield perception.

The pickpocketing lasted only a few seconds. An eye appeared on the lump of snot creature, sizing Su Xiao up. Perhaps feeling that Su Xiao was not a good person, the snot creature secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The various races in the queue entered the city one after another. However, this did not reduce the number of people in the queue; instead, there were more and more. This made Su Xiao a bit puzzled. Was the Black Abyss actually so popular?

In fact, the shallow layer of the Black Abyss was indeed very popular. Although it was dangerous there, and Void races that were too strong could not enter for a long time, otherwise they would be dragged into the deepest layer, which was almost a place of no return.

But this did not mean that the Black Abyss was an ominous place. The reason it was dangerous was that the internal resources were too abundant, which was why various wild beast races occupied it, occupying land and becoming kings. Wild beast races basically had no reason to speak of; except for their own kind, all other creatures were enemies, and some even attacked their own kind, no different from wild beasts.

The Void races queuing in front of the city gate, some were here to complete the trials of their race, some were here to hunt for treasure, and some were simply hunters, living by killing. Do not think that they only hunted creatures in the Black Abyss; other intelligent races entering the Black Abyss could also be their targets. Just like the snot creature in front of Su Xiao, don't look at its unremarkable appearance; in fact, it was a hunter in the Black Abyss.

After queuing for a few minutes, Su Xiao successfully entered the city. There was no interrogation or search as imagined. The Demon soldiers only asked about his destination, and upon learning that Su Xiao was going to enter the Black Abyss, they let him pass decisively.

Entering the City of Fanluo, Su Xiao could not move freely but waited in a small square with a decent view. After waiting for about half an hour, nearly a thousand people had reached the small square.

"Mou la baba sa (unknown language)."

Su Xiao suddenly heard someone shout "Dad." He turned his head and saw that it was the crocodile-head who had been stolen from earlier. At this moment, his crocodile face was full of anxiety, roaring something at a human boy.

"Even if you call me Dad, I don't want to help you."

The human boy's face was pale, his figure thin, looking like a sickly person. Judging from that small frame, it wouldn't be too surprising if he died in the next second.

"Wulama ka! (unknown language)"

The crocodile-head roared, clearly not understanding the human boy's words.

Puchi!

A short blade with a thin edge and a slender body pierced through the crocodile-head's skull, entering from his lower jaw and piercing out of the skull.

The crocodile-head's skin instantly turned from black to pale, and the muscles on his body began to wither at a speed visible to the naked eye.

With a swish, the boy pulled out the short blade. His pair of cyan eyes indicated that he was not human but a type of ghost race in the Void, the Cyan Ghost Race.

"Why seek death."

The Cyan Ghost Race boy coughed sickly and turned his gaze to the snot creature.

"That lump of snot, bring it here."

"..."

The snot creature didn't speak. After a struggle, a leather money bag sprayed out from its body.

The Cyan Ghost Race boy had just received the money bag when the sound of armor clashing came. It was three Demon soldiers wrapped in armor.

"You have one moment to state your case (one moment: Demon Race time unit, approximately equal to 72 seconds)."

"Let's start from this dead fish calling me Dad."

The Cyan Ghost Race boy was clearly very wary of the Demon soldiers because he knew that if he didn't cooperate in handling this matter, he would really die.

A few minutes later, the three Demon soldiers dragged the corpse away and also took the money bag. In the territory of the Demon Race, if anyone took the initiative to find trouble, even if they died here, no one would care. Since they dared to find trouble, they should be prepared to be killed; otherwise, they should be honest.

Just as the Demon soldiers left, a female succubus walked into the small square. Succubi were very similar to humans. Su Xiao discovered this when he saw Lilim, especially when he saw her breasts; the similarity between that girl and humans was extremely high.

"Everyone."

The female succubus clapped her hands to attract everyone's attention. Her attire was not revealing, but it gave people a strange sense of temptation. This belonged to a racial talent.

The female succubus's attitude was very enthusiastic, or rather, her enthusiasm was a matter of course. Everyone in the small square was here to enter the Black Abyss. To enter the Black Abyss from the Demon Race's territory, one needed to pay a toll.

The Black Abyss entrance was the Demon Race's cash cow. It was no wonder this female succubus was so enthusiastic. Su Xiao felt she was very much like a tour guide, only the tour group she led was a bit fierce. Those who dared to enter the Black Abyss, except for the younger generation of large races, were not good people. They were either fleeing after forming enemies or going to the Black Abyss to kill and seize property.

The female succubus did not take Su Xiao and the others to view the City of Fanluo. The group didn't even have a chance to contact the Demon Race civilians. After passing through a very long underground tunnel, a fortress towering into the sky appeared.

However, Su Xiao didn't need to enter the fortress. He entered another underground tunnel. This time the experience was not bad. A train drove slowly in the tunnel. From the fierce-looking front of the car, it was not hard to see that this thing had a very Demon style.

The female succubus began to ask everyone's destination one by one. The Black Abyss was also divided into many layers.

Upon learning Su Xiao's destination, the female succubus pointed to a train. Su Xiao boarded the train, and not long after, the train started.

The train was very stable and used steam as motive power. Do not think that the Demon Race's technology was backward; they were just not used to using high-tech products, not that they couldn't use them, nor that they couldn't get them. There were numerous high-tech civilizations in the Void.

A burst of white steam sprayed from the top of the train, and the speed gradually increased. A withered old woman with a severe hunchback walked out from the front of the train. She held a wooden basket in her hand, which looked like it was woven from plant roots, and her pair of eyes, as if fire were burning inside, indicated that this was a Demon.

Seeing this old woman, a small part of the people on the train sat up straight, looking alert.

Dang, dang, dang.

The copper bell hanging on the Demon old woman's neck rang. She started from the front of the train. Whenever she passed a passenger, the other party would throw a few coins into the wooden basket.

"Can... can you send me back? Property... property lost, and it was in your Demon Race's territory. You also have responsibility."

A strong man nearly four meters tall, with a very Spartan style, spoke. He was of the Demi-human race, likely a branch lineage of some giant race, but at this moment, his body was shaking.

The Demon old woman's footsteps stopped. She slowly put down the wooden basket in her hand.

Crack, crack...

The sound of bone dislocation came. The Demon old woman's hunchback straightened a bit. Seeing this scene, other passengers near the strong man stood up and retreated to avoid blood splashing on them.

"Fu, fu, fu..."

The strong man's breathing became increasingly rapid, and saliva sprayed from the corners of his mouth, pulling out long threads.

"Ah!!"

The strong man roared, and white light patterns emerged on his body surface.

10 seconds later.

Creak, creak...

The Demon old woman stuffed the last segment of the strong man's finger into her mouth. She put on her hood again and picked up the wooden basket on the ground.

Boarded the train and didn't pay? Get off? Stop joking. Not to mention the departure cost of this train, this was the Demon Race's territory. If they didn't even have this bit of prestige, how could they deter the ten thousand races? The Demon Race was not known for being reasonable in the Void. ===== CHAPTER 1652 =====
