Volume Dragon: Start by obtaining the Infinity Gems

Chapter 268: City in the Volcano
The moment the door was opened, the biting cold wind blew mercilessly across Ebis's face like a cold blade. It was like a wild beast, howling and rolling up the heavy snow, and the whole sky was covered with frost.

The sky was covered with dark clouds, as if a huge gray curtain was covering the earth, surrounded by huge walls forming a circle. Within these walls, a mysterious black city stood quietly.

The city walls were made of dark rocks, which shone with a mysterious glow in the dim light, as if they had grown naturally from the endless darkness. The streets were winding and complex like a maze, exuding a faint eerie atmosphere.

Tall and strange buildings are arranged in a staggered manner. Their style is unique and strange, with sharp edges and twisted shapes, as if they are the embodiment of dark forces. The surface of the building is covered with unknown black vines, which seem to absorb the vitality of the city.

In the center of the city, a tall and majestic black temple rose from the ground. The black walls flickered with a strange light in the weak light, as if hiding countless unknown secrets. At the top of it, there was a huge gap, burning with black flames, like the open mouth of a devil.

From that gap, black magma continued to spew out, as if the flames of hell were burning. The magma flowed down the walls of the temple, flowed through the streets of the entire city, and finally reached the surrounding stone walls, climbing up along the rough rocks as if it had life.

"." Ebis was shocked speechless by the scene before her. It turned out that the magma they saw at the foot of the mountain appeared in this way. No wonder there was no magma under the volcano.

"What should we do next?" Ebis came back to her senses and looked at Shana for help. In such a big city, where should they find the damn demiplane hub?
Shanai pointed to the temple in the distance and said silently: "The book records: The hub of the demiplane is located in the bedroom of the demigod lich. It is where his life box is kept and where he prays to his god."

After looking around, only that temple best fits the description in the notes.

Cade smacked his lips and thought to himself, are these two people crazy? This place looks like the lair of some evil monster, are they really planning to go in?
"Hey, look carefully, we're not the only ones in this city!" Cade raised his chin to remind them.

The two women looked at the streets of the city and found that on those black lava roads, there were occasionally some black shadows floating by. They moved swiftly, shuttling through the darkness like ghosts, making it difficult to predict.

Shana's face darkened.

"What's wrong? Do you know who these people are?" Erbis noticed that Shana's face changed and asked in a low voice.

Shana nodded: "Well, they belong to an organization called the Shadow Alliance."

When Erbis heard the words "Shadow Alliance", her pupils shrank and her face turned pale.

"The Shadow Alliance?" she asked in a trembling voice.

Shana looked at her suspiciously: "Why? Do you know this organization?"

Erbis swallowed, her eyes a little unfocused, as if she was recalling something: "I heard from my master that she once came from an organization called the Shadow Alliance."

"She said, 'If I meet them one day, I must run away immediately!'"

Shana was a little surprised. She didn't expect that this shadow assassin had some connection with the Shadow Alliance. Speaking of which, she was quite curious at first, why a kind and romantic dwarf would become an assassin who kills without blinking an eye. This kind of profession is not something that those naive dwarfs can accept.

She saw the fear, regret, anger, and nostalgia that flashed across Ebis's eyes, and silently stopped asking questions.

It seems that he is someone with the same story as her.

"We have no way out," Shana said calmly, "No matter what, we only have two choices: try to find the demiplane hub, or stay here and wait to die."

"No matter what you think, I will definitely find hope to get out," she said firmly.

Her revenge has not been taken, her wish has not been fulfilled. Life is long, she will not stop here. Erbis and Cade looked at each other and sighed.

I can only give it a try.

"What do you think?" Erbis made up her mind, the fear in her eyes disappeared, and she looked at Shana with a firm gaze and asked.

Shana thought for a moment and took out a scroll from her space bag.

"This is a seventh-level illusion spell [Mass Invisibility]. We will rely on it next."

Ebis and Cade's eyes lit up. With such a good thing, what did they have to be afraid of? As long as they were careful, they could sneak up to the temple.

Shana tore the scroll into pieces quickly and efficiently, and a strong magical power surrounded the three of them, hiding their bodies.

"Follow me closely and don't go beyond my 6-meter range, otherwise you will be exposed immediately." Xia Na reminded as they walked.

The invisibility ability of [Mass Invisibility] can last almost forever. As long as the recipient is not attacked or actively attacks, the invisibility effect will always exist. It is an indispensable means of escape and sneaking.

Moreover, [Mass Invisibility] can eliminate the footprints and smell of the recipients. Unless those members of the Shadow Alliance are perverts with excellent hearing, it is impossible for them to be discovered.

The three of them then sneaked into the nameless black city.

At first, the three people walking on the street were worried about encountering the hot lava, but after trying it once, the suicidal Cade found that the lava was not only not hot but also very cold, so the three of them felt relieved.

With the help of the anti-cold spell, they walked on the lava as easily as on flat ground.

They tiptoed quietly into the city and discovered that many of the black shadows flashing inside the Gothic black buildings were actually humans!
A group of humans wearing the same uniform.

Each of them had a half-closed, bleeding eye printed on their uniform.

This is the symbol of the Shadow League.

Shana clenched her teeth, fearing that she would not be able to help but rush out and fight to the death with these enemies who had a blood feud with her, and walked slowly on the street in silence.

Occasionally, some killers who passed by them felt something was wrong, but they were unable to see through the limitations of [Group Invisibility] and escaped danger all the way.

"The Temple is Not Far Away"

Shana looked at the temple looming in the distance with a somewhat excited expression, but also more confused.

According to the records in the book, there should be a shadow dragon in charge of this demiplane hub. Why are these assassins from the Shadow Alliance swaggering in and out of various places, probably even occupying the temple?

Could it be that these people reached an agreement with the shadow dragon?
