Dick opened his eyes in shock and found that he was falling rapidly to the ground in the blood-red sky, surrounded by the smell of sulfur.

At this moment, he was not in a hurry to measure the distance between himself and the ground. Instead, he touched his solid shoulder and strangely confirmed:

"The teleportation was so painful just now, I thought I was going to die. What on earth is going on?"

Around him, several translucent human figures slowly emerged. They were more comfortable and lighter in the sky than Dick.

Two translucent humanoid figures rotated around Dick. One of them wrinkled his nose and took a deep breath, "It's strange. I clearly saw him appearing in physical form, but he smelled like Nine Hells?"

"In Nine Hells, how can someone appear in the form of a human body? Is it because we are dead now and only have souls left, so we have hallucinations?"

"This is also my first time to die, how could I know."

Dick Suddenly, it turns out that he is already in Nine Hells.

The reason I felt so painful in the King Lioke portal before was probably because I wanted to infect myself with the aura of Hell so as not to be recognized by the surrounding souls. Otherwise... there might be other troubles?

Only then did he notice a new prompt coming from the panel:

[Talent]--King Lioke's Blessing: No fear of Hell miasma.

So that's it.

But the most important thing at the moment is...

He looked at the ground getting closer and closer, and could already clearly see the texture on it:

Lava veins flowed between the cracked dark red rock layers, and the blood-sand suspended in mid-air was swept up by the cold wind;

Dry, hot, gravel and red sand dance together.

The surrounding souls are still noisy.

"Ah, I feel the call of this great and magical Judge of Hell Minos. I can't control myself~." The man said and started singing a cappella.

Around the transparent souls, invisible waves rippled like water, and they were sucked into the distance by a force.

Combining their words, Dick understood that it was Judge Minos, the person in charge of the first level Hell, who was summoning them.

But he was still falling downwards.

When the red hair was blown to the back of the head by the strong wind, even Demigod and Dick couldn't help feeling frightened.

In order to be prepared, he instantly turned on Giant Transformation and transformed into a 5-meter-tall bronze giant.

But the next moment, there was a "bang" and the whole ground shook. Giant Transformation's Dick smashed out a deep pit, almost hitting a little girl with an oval face and two ponytails next to her.

The little girl was wearing a long skirt, and there was a plump white pigeon standing on her shoulder. At this time, she was frightened by Dick, and the white pigeon flew up in an instant.

Dick was in pain all over from the fall, but he knew that his body was not seriously injured, it was just painful.

While lying on the ground, Dick suddenly thought that he could use the blinking skill just now, but he had just acquired this skill and forgot about it for a moment.

He shook his head slightly and was about to stand up when he suddenly felt his back being lightly touched by something hard.

He turned back slightly, and the little girl with a round face was startled, and immediately took two steps back with her cane.

"Hehe." A sneer appeared on the little girl's chubby face, "I... I just made sure you're not dead."

At this time, Dick finally recovered, closed Giant Transformation, and returned to normal shape.

He stood up, stretched his muscles, and his joints creaked, "How could I die so easily before I found her?"

And, who are you?

Why does Hell appear in physical form and still be by my side? This is such a coincidence."

Dawn Sword suddenly buzzed, and when Dick's pupils contracted, the tip of the sword instantly touched the little girl's chin three inches away.

He was extremely wary of the little girl in front of him:

Look at her dress, she looks like the girl next door, but can she run rampant in the extremely dangerous Hell just with the white dove on her shoulder?

Impossible, this person is very suspicious.

The little girl raised her chubby little hand as if surrendering, smiled and gently tapped the sword body of Dick with one finger, and raised it up, as if to avoid the vital part.

Dick followed her strength and retracted the long sword.

"Listen to my explanation, why are you so impatient?

I am the patroller and recorder of Nine Hells, and I can tour the entire Hell at any time, so it is not surprising to appear here.

As for my body, it was given by my master.

Of course, I can't tell you who my master is, but in short, he is the strong man of Hell.

Let me tell you some additional news, many Hell strong people have physical bodies."

The white dove on the little girl's shoulder flapped its wings again, circled gently around Dick's head, and then flew back to the girl's other shoulder.

The bird's beak was close to the girl's ear and it was chirping, not knowing what it was saying.

The little girl just nodded frequently, and then looked at Dick after a while.

"Hello, my name is Virgil. Let me introduce you again. I am the patroller and recorder of Hell. Welcome, Demon Hunter Dick.

You should have obtained King Lioke's Blessing, so you are not afraid of Hell miasma, and that guy should have returned to his territory."

Dick was surprised. He didn't expect that the white pigeon could know so much information just by circling him once.

"You are only responsible for inspections and records, and you don't care about other things, right?"

"That's natural, Dick. What's the matter with you coming to Hell?"

"I'm looking for someone. Her name is Xiya. Do you know her?"

The little girl closed her eyes, as if flipping through the information, and then opened them again quickly, "I have never heard of this name. Can you tell me more about her information?"

Although Dick was a little disappointed, he thought that this person might have a close relationship with Nine Hells, and might actually know Xiya.

"She is a sorceress. She may have been cursed and sent here because she offended a big shot in Nine Hells. There is only so much information about her at the moment, and she is my wife."

"Your wife?" The little girl's pupils shrank slightly, "But Hell has nine floors. If you search the entire Hell, you might really be able to find her."

"So this is the first floor now Hell?"

"Very smart, this is [Edge Hell]. If you want to go to the second floor, you have to cross Styx first."

"Tell me and listen."

Virgil pointed to the place with blue and black mist in the distance and said, "That piece of blue and black river water is Styx."

It is not wide, but no creature can cross it by its own strength. Only by taking the boat of the ferry god Kari can you cross it.

If you accidentally fall into Styx, you will be catastrophic, because your body and soul will be destroyed.

After crossing Styx, you can find Judge of Hell Minos, who is the leader of Edge of Hell.

Only by passing his judgment and confirming that there is no sin on you can you successfully go to the second level."

"It's so troublesome, isn't there any other way to go directly to the second floor?"

"Styx has its own rules, which cannot be crossed by any method, including [Demigod]. If you want to go to the second level, you can only pass the trial of Judge of Hell."

"Well, thank you very much. Just now..."

"It's nothing. I haven't seen a soul as golden as yours for a long time. I wish you all the best, Demon Hunter Dick."

"Aren't you going with me?" Dick was surprised. Previously, this little girl looked so old-fashioned and enthusiastic, and he thought she would continue to lead the way.

"I want to record the changes of Hell everywhere. When I want to appear, I will naturally appear in front of you. Goodbye, Mr. Dick."

She bowed again, and then she and the white pigeon emitted fiery red light and slowly disappeared in front of Dick.

Dick shook his head and ignored the little girl who appeared inexplicably. He continued to walk forward and soon disappeared in the smoke filled with the smell of sulfur.

Not long after Dick disappeared, a fiery red flame flickered on the spot, and the little girl and the white dove reappeared.

Flames texture traveled from bottom to top on her body, and she slowly transformed into something else:

Two pairs of black wings sprouted from his back, his dark hair was shoulder-length, his figure became much more delicate as he grew larger, and the white dove on his shoulders also turned into a crow.

Her eyes penetrated the thick sulfur mist in front of her, and her fingertips gently pressed on her chest:

There was a shocking mark left by the black sword in Crown Festival.

"Dick, I didn't expect that we would meet again...

Now, I have to report your whereabouts to the master."
