The hairs all over Rhode's body stood up, his blood seemed to be frozen into ice, and his soul became heavy and obscure.

"What's wrong with you?"

Annabeth immediately noticed something strange about Rhodes, almost instinctively. She picked up the lantern and shined it on Rhodes.

The firelight immediately illuminated him clearly. Under the observation of spiritual vision, his soul was pure and transparent, like liquefied crystal, without any impurities.

"Great, the soul is fine... Rhodes, did you discover something?"

Rhodes' face was pale, and he looked as if he had returned from a very far away place.

"There's something...something wrong here."

Everyone stopped and the atmosphere became tense.

"What happened?"

Rhodes did not answer. He felt that some kind of illusory darkness was occupying his vision, and the lightless terror fell from an infinite distance, covering everything.

At this moment, Asa's voice, which had been silent for a long time, suddenly sounded in my mind.

"Huh? What do I feel... This darkness, this filth, full of evil and gloom, ah, it's so fascinating. Master, something must be happening outside. Please give me your vision."

Rhodes' heart moved, and he immediately opened the dream permission to Asa.

"Well... this is a land of ashes, covered with embers of fire, but why is the earth's position declining?"

"Oh my god, what did I see? Unbelievable! I can't believe it!"

Asa's tone became extremely surprised and excited, which was something Rhode had never seen before, even when he gained the power of poop.

"Abyss, abyss is eroding the earth!"

Asa exclaimed.

"Master, this is the real abyss, the dark side of the universe that can corrode even the gods, the material world, the spiritual world, and the shadow of the Sea of ​​Origin, the plane that existed at the same time as the Creation, and disappeared into the abyss of the ancient era!"<

/p>

Rhodes was shocked in his heart. He never expected this answer, and he lost his voice: "Abyss?"

"Yes, Master!"

Asa's tone slightly returned to normal, but it was full of ecstasy.

"The abyss is eroding the material world and engulfing this area! This place will soon become the abyss! I feel the majestic and unpredictable darkness!"

"Hahahaha."

He laughed wildly and seemed to have forgotten his ideal. At this moment, his instinct gained the upper hand.

"Master, it's such a pity. I originally thought this moment would come later, but I didn't expect it to appear so soon. It's a pity that I don't have more time to help you save your poor compatriots. The world is heading towards despair.

, all existence will eventually slide into the abyss, and endless darkness will drown everything!"

"I may have to look for the power of poop in the abyss, but I firmly believe that the demons in the abyss can also poop. If you control their poop, you can control their power. I suggest you follow me into the darkness.

Embrace, maybe this can protect your compatriots for a while longer..."

"Shut up!" Rhode shouted angrily: "Don't forget your current position. I can't kill you completely, but I can make all the power you gain disappear!"

Asa was startled, then realized that he still had a handle in Rhodes' hand, and his swollen soul immediately shrank.

"Master, don't get me wrong. Of course I know my identity. I'm just providing a feasible suggestion..."

Rhodes said coldly: "I don't need this kind of advice, you'd better think from my standpoint."

Asa was silent for a few seconds. Suddenly, his huge soul bowed deeply to Rhodes:

"I understand, Master, everything will run according to your will... Your feet are on the earth, and the abyss is eroding your soul. If you don't want to be swallowed by the abyss, please leave the earth as soon as possible, and then stay away from this area.

”

So that's it... Rhode shouted urgently: "Fly up quickly, don't step on the ground."

He grabbed Kashan and jumped into the air.

Annabeth also noticed it. With a step of the horse's hooves, Mavis flew up. Centaur is the only one who can use psychic energy to step into the air with less than one level of combat power.

Under their feet, the gray earth has turned black.

Liquid-like darkness seeped out from the surface bit by bit, submerging the grayish white color under pure black.

The entire Ash Lake area is being swallowed up by darkness.

Suddenly, Rhodes' collar felt hot, and the Crown of Fire was automatically triggered. The psychic transmission arrived instantly, and the image of a gray-haired old man appeared in front of his eyes.

It is Aleihan, the First Son of Fire.

"Leave the Ash Lake area immediately!"

Aleihan's tone was serious and urgent.

"No matter what the situation is, return to the Fortress of Courage immediately!"

"Repeat, return to the Fortress of Courage immediately!"

As the words fell, the image also disappeared.

Rhodes immediately turned over and sat on Annabeth:

"Quick, go back as fast as possible."

Annabeth also knew that the situation was not good, so she didn't ask any questions, stepped on her hooves, and rushed towards the Fortress of Courage.

Along the way, they clearly saw the earth being swallowed up little by little, as if there was an unprecedentedly huge mouth below.

The strong breath of the abyss spurted out and shot straight into the sky.

Annabeth had to raise the flight altitude, but in the distance that she couldn't see, the Lake of Ashes and the Ancient Dragon King in the lake had completely sunk into the abyss.

The terrifying darkness seems to be bottomless.

Asa laughed wildly and said: "Hahaha, the abyss is swallowing, the abyss is swallowing, the abyss is the hotbed of black mist, the era of understanding is coming! But even so, I will rule the shit of this desolate world!"

Rhodes ignored Asa's nonsense and stared at the ground. Soon, he saw several people falling into the abyss and immediately drove Annabell down.

"Save them!"

Annabeth fell from the sky without any hesitation.

The star rays in Rhodes' hand shot out, and the long starlight was thrown out like a whip, dragging the three people out of the quagmire of darkness.

The centaur soared into the sky, and long black shadows stretched out on the three people below. It wasn't until Annabell flew high enough that the shadow-like darkness was broken.

They finally escaped the influence of the abyss.

One of them recognized him immediately: "It's Mr. Rhodes!"

Another person burst into tears all of a sudden: "Wow, wow, great, we are saved, I almost thought I was dead!"

"It's so scary. The darkness is like a quagmire, keeping people sinking down, as if something is pulling on our souls."

"Is this an abyss?"

Rhodes replied briefly: "This is the abyss."

The breath of the abyss is extremely unique, and Rhodes, who has experienced the rifts of the abyss many times, is very sensitive to it.

But now, there is a stronger and more evil aura. It is fundamentally different from the abyss rift, and it is a higher-level existence.

Therefore, Rhodes has no doubt that it is a real abyss.

I just don’t know why it suddenly appears here.

With all kinds of doubts, Rhodes quickly returned to the Fortress of Courage.

Along the way, he saved dozens of people one after another.

Only a few of them did not have control over their spiritual energy and most of them were affected by the abyss when they stepped into the air. Their souls were disturbed and fell into the mire of darkness.

Rhodes used the sight of the Soul Eye and the communication ability of the Crown of Fire to successfully rescue all the trapped people.

When he crossed the high wall of Courage Fortress, the entire Ash Lake area was engulfed by lightless darkness. Looking from a distance, an extremely terrifying dark hole appeared on the ground, and the breath of the abyss steamed up, mixing with the black mist.

, tumbling and entangled.

Fortunately, the abyss did not expand infinitely and swallow the entire world as Asa said.

It only expanded to the edge of the Ash Lake area, swallowed up the last piece of gray surface, and then stopped.

However, even if it stabilizes, such a large abyss gap lies in front of it, and the way forward for the royal city is also blocked. It is impossible to clear the old castle beyond it and occupy the super sun crystal veins under the old castle.

Rhodes had countless questions rolling around in his mind, and Asa was unable to provide any more answers. He would only repeatedly say that the end of mankind was coming, a truly dark era was about to come, and he was about to rule the dark shit.
p>

Of no value.

Rhodes blocked Asa's endless nonsense and rushed towards the Fire Protection Sacrifice of Courage Fortress.

The bells in the fortress have sounded, and all combatants have entered the highest alert state, creating a solemn atmosphere.

Rhodes opened the door, and seven special combatants and guardian Lei Ping were already waiting here.
