Death Game: Starting as a fraudster, pretending to be a god.

Chapter 686: Favors and Gifts of Talismans

"Oh my god, there's not even a sun down here, why is it so hot?"

In the vast and dark underground talisman array space, Haiou wiped the sweat from his face and couldn't help but speak.

After everyone had stood firmly, they immediately set foot in the direction of Liuzhen Ruins. Xuan Yunzi naturally removed the green protective bell.

The moment the protection was removed, the air, which was even hotter than the ground, made everyone feel extremely uncomfortable.

If the scorching sunlight above is like roasting meat in a grill, then the underground space is like a steamer.

Hearing Haiou's words, Lin Yu explained calmly: "Because there is a magma vein underground, it is in the spider's talisman array. I don't know whether Taoist Xuan Yunzi's new talisman array space has all of it... but anyway, the two spaces are connected."

Xuan Yunzi nodded and followed up on Lin Yu's words, "Yes, this talisman array has trapped a lot of magma veins... Or rather, since you are from outside the domain, you may not know that the extreme heat of this inferno is definitely not caused by just three days of direct sunlight."

"The structure of the Two Mountains and Six Hells is very simple—the six hells are located in different directions on two towering mountains, and are separated from each other by these two mountains."

"Many people in the Prison Mountain Realm are unaware of the mysteries of these two mountains; they even have different names for them."

"But in the records of our four great sects, these two mountains have divinely bestowed names—one is called Jiuhan, and the other is called Zhengyang!"

"Jiuhan Mountain is the coldest and darkest, while Zhengyang Mountain is the hottest and brightest."

"Most of this Hellfire Land is located on the sunny side of Zhengyang Mountain. It is also the place where the earth veins of Zhengyang Mountain converge most frequently."

"The area around Shuangsaw Mountain and Jiuliu Town is still relatively inactive," Xuan Yunzi said, stroking his beard, "but deep underground, there are still too many sedimentary volcanoes."

After Xuan Yunzi explained it, Li Nian also suddenly understood.

"No wonder, there's a smell of sulfur in the air..."

"After all this talk, Taoist Priest, can we open the hood?" Seagull insisted on walking in this hot and humid environment, already sweating profusely, like a dog just pulled out of the water. "Whatever the cause of this high temperature here is, I'm afraid I'll pass out before we reach our destination."

Xuan Yunzi smiled bitterly and said, "Knight, it would be nice if I could use it whenever I want, but the 'Lapis Lazuli Bodyguard Bell' consumes a lot of energy to maintain. The Thousand-Eyed Thousand-Threaded Demon Lord will be difficult to deal with later. I need to save some energy and mana to deal with the demon."

Li Nian curled his lips: "Well, then don't open it - I have a talisman that can dispel the heat and avoid the summer heat, you can use it."

"But...it's not free."

Li Nian took out a few pieces of talisman paper from his arms and handed them to Haiou.

Seagull took the talisman paper and Snowy Owl frowned slightly, but feeling the hot and sticky sensation on her skin, especially the dull pain from her unhealed bleeding wounds eroded by sweat, she could only nod.

"Thief, I owe you a favor."

Gao Shan also whispered, "You did surprise me, 'Master Thief'... I, Gao Shan, also owe you a favor."

"What's the point of owing favors? This dungeon is so difficult, and we're all in this together."

Li Nian said with a smile.

"Is it a grasshopper on a string?"

Seagull couldn't help but correct.

"It's all the same. If the boat capsizes, can a grasshopper still swim?" Li Nian curled his lips. "If you keep talking back, return the talisman to me."

Afterwards, she gave three talismans to Lin Yu, Fei Dao and Xuan Yunzi.

"Employer, Sister Yao, you two also have a share."

"And you, old Taoist."

As for Li Nian herself, she didn't stay. After all, she was still wearing the temperature-regulating clothes. Although the temperature on the ground was higher than that on the ground, it was still within the regulation range of the clothes.

From the darkness came the sounds of talismans being torn apart, "hiss", and then, a cool breeze slowly formed.

Xuan Yunzi exclaimed in surprise, "Huh?"

"This... this talisman is actually the 'Pure Wind Rotating Body Talisman' of my Taiqing Sect... Could it be that the layman has some history with my Taiqing Sect?"

"No, I took it from the box under the statue in your Taoist temple. I saw that the temple was about to collapse, so I took it out to avoid waste. You're welcome, old Taoist."

Li Nian said with a smile.

Xuan Yunzi was stunned for a moment, then said, "You...how did you do that?"

When these words fell into Lin Yu's ears, the doubts in his heart disappeared.

No wonder Li Nian was so generous this time and gave me something, and it was a [Consumable] talisman...

So this is what she just touched.

"Senior, this guy is nicknamed 'The Thief' among us outsiders. Let alone putting it in a box, even if you put it close to your body, it may not be safe in front of her."

As Lin Yu spoke, Xuan Yunzi nodded slowly.

"I see... This 'Master Thief' is truly a man of skill and tactics."

Snowy Owl and Gao Shan, who were enjoying the coolness brought by the talisman, suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

The two of them felt a little conflicted when they thought about how they had been criticizing the "thief" all the way, but now they were enjoying the convenience brought by the stolen things from the other side.

If you don't want to use it, you've already promised a "favor"... You can't take it back now, right?

If they really did such a thing, they would be a group of ungrateful and heartless people.

But although the two were upright, they were not pedantic and rigid, and they soon let it go.

Just like what Li Nian said just now, this [copy] is very difficult now. Now we have to face the "Thousand-Eyed Thousand-Threaded Demon Lord", the spider demon that is bigger than a mountain. It is more important to maintain our own condition.

not to mention……

Although Li Nian did "steal" it, the act of stealing was still justified - after all, as Li Nian said, the Taoist temple had collapsed just now, and it would be a waste if she didn't take the talisman.

As the holder of this talisman, Taoist Xuan Yunzi seemed to have no objection to this behavior.

Therefore, Snowy Owl and Gao Shan stopped wasting time and continued on their journey forward.

Under the blessing of this talisman, and with Xuan Yunzi, the experienced Taoist, leading the way, they soon...

They came to the boundary of this talisman array space - although the new and old talisman array spaces were connected, there was still a layer of rock wall separating them at the boundary.

The rock wall was activated by the movement of the earth veins caused by Xuan Yunzi's Hundred Tribulations Forbidden Art, and several gaps and openings appeared. Although they were not big, they could accommodate several people walking side by side.

"Let's go. Once we get in, we'll reach 'Old Willow Town' and the 'Thousand-Eyed Thousand-Threaded Demon Lord'!"

Xuan Yunzi said this, and then as the guide, the old Taoist was the first to go into the passage in the rock wall.
