Chapter 32: Opening (II)
The sudden appearance of the blue-purple light mask is still very beneficial to us, after all, it keeps most of the monsters out, especially those who can shoot energy attacks, they are the most troublesome. In particular, the four giant monsters, which are very powerful in terms of physical and energy attacks, are even more of a headache, and there are five bugs with corrosive acid, as well as an evolutionary bone-winged bug with unknown abilities, which is really good to isolate them.
I stayed at the stele and watched the whole process. The blue-purple light shield that suddenly blocked most of the enemies for us must be so that explorers like us can enter the temple with confidence, and now as long as we kill all the more than 80 bipedal scythe monsters inside, then we can enter the temple with confidence and explore the hidden secrets inside.
Without follow-up assistance, the more than 80 bipedal sickle monsters knew their current situation, so they could only choose to continue the attack. There was no way back, as long as they carried out the most rear-order orders of the Bone Wing Worms, which was the only thing they had to accomplish.
The bone-winged insect monster outside made his subordinates regroup, and then attacked together towards the blue-purple light mask in front of them, and for a while all the monsters attacked desperately, physical attacks and energy attacks, and the two attacks came together, but unfortunately, all the attacks were bounced back by the light mask, but they hurt themselves.
The physical attack is not bad, but the energy attack is fatal, especially the orange fireball of the giant monster, which caused more than 30 monsters to be killed and injured this time, and the scene suddenly became chaotic.
For what happened outside, the outside no longer cares for the time being, and now the top priority is to destroy the more than 80 monsters inside first, so that the outside can enter the temple, there must be a very important secret there, we must enter inside, otherwise we will sacrifice so many companions in vain.
I glanced at the remaining green gem in my hand, I didn't know what to do with it, and saw that everyone was fighting, so I casually put it into the space ring, turned back and joined the fighting team, no longer thinking about other things, and concentrating on solving the things in front of me.
More than 80 bipedal sickle monsters fought against 15 humans, and most of the humans were injured to varying degrees, and their combat power was already less than the first six layers, and most of the opponents were intact, obviously having a good advantage.
Fifteen of our side, with the exception of a few such as me and Saphis, were wounded. Even if there were not a few people who were not injured, most of them had already gone through the wheel battle just now, and their bodies were already showing fatigue, and they didn't know if they could fight to the end.
15 of us form a circle inside and outside, 10 people outside, 5 people inside, and the 5 people inside can replace the people who can't support the outer circle at any time, so that they take turns to resist attacks and take advantage of the gap to find opportunities to slash monsters.
In this way, the defense and counterattack continued, and before we knew it, the number of corpses on the ground gradually increased, and the ground near us was already covered, and the viscous blood gradually coagulated, which had already hindered us a little, and we had to move towards the temple gate.
When he was still 10 meters away from the gate of the temple, one of the people in the outer circle finally failed to hold on to the person who replaced him, and was hooked by the arm of the sickle monster, and instantly pulled into the group of monsters, and disappeared without even screaming.
As he was engulfed, one of the people in the inner circle had to come to the outer circle early and participate in the resistance. He is the best of the few people in the circle besides me, so he will replace that person, and there are three others, and it should be my turn at that time.
Although I knew that they were taking care of me as a royal family, I still couldn't step forward at the first time and replace that person, after all, people are selfish, let alone facing the current situation.
Fortunately, they are the best warriors in the empire, and they have received a special education since childhood, so that they can give priority to the royal family everywhere, otherwise I really don't know what will become of the Dao.
From more than 80 bipedal sickle monsters went crazy to start attacking, Zhilu Dao is only ten minutes now, and our side has lost one person again, although we have also eliminated a lot of bipedal sickle monsters, but they are still very unwilling, and they have not been able to prevent things from happening.
The number of bipedal sickle monsters has been reduced from more than 80 to 56 now, but the injuries of those who have been injured on our side have become worse at this time, and even if they take healing drugs, they can't quickly suppress the injuries, but only relieve them.
At this time, there was no replacement for rest, and the three people who were transferred to the inner circle had been injured for a short time, unable to continue fighting, and could only watch everything in front of them, unable to do anything.
I saw that the other three were no longer able to fight, and it was time for me to show up.
Gripping the hilt of the sword in his hand, he walked unswervingly towards the outer ring. When the Eldis brothers saw my move, they immediately raised their hands and signaled me to stay inside, and they didn't need me for the time being.
I stayed behind them, struggling with what to do.
In the time I pondered, the battle became more and more intense, is there a sad cry of the sickle monster before death, as long as you continue to destroy it, there will always be a moment when the bipedal sickle monster is finished, but Party B's personnel may not be able to hold out until then.
The three very badly injured people inside stood up with great difficulty and moved slowly behind me, one of whom said to me. "As long as we are not dead, Your Highness will not go up."
"He's right, how can His Highness go up now, where does this put us." From time to time, he looked back at Saphis, who was here, and said truthfully. "Your Highness, just rest well, the monsters are in charge of us imperial warriors."
Listening to the words of Saphis and the wounded man, the others immediately agreed.
I was touched by their words, and it was a blessing for the Empire to have warriors like them.
In this short period of time, Saphis, they once again poured out their proud skills, and killed a lot of bipedal scythe monsters at once, and now there are forty-two bipedal scythe monsters, and the number is gradually decreasing, now there are only 42 bipedal scythe monsters, and the others have been eliminated.
Then the battle continued again, and the double attack fought fiercely with each other again, and among the 10 people in the outer circle, except for the brothers Saphiss and Eldis, each of them was quite good, and they all looked like evil ghosts who had escaped from hell.
Two of them had to retreat to the inner circle and look with us at their comrades who were desperately resisting, although several of them also wanted to follow the example of the previous ones and chose to blow themselves up to open up the situation for us, but I stopped them, such a way of death is too worthless, and they must not waste their lives like this.
Half an hour later, we had finally eliminated all the bipedal scythes. It was only ten minutes after the last ten minutes that Sarphiss reluctantly allowed me to join.
There are only 14 people left who choose us to be alive, most of them are scarred, and none of them are safe and sound, even the strongest Saphis, who has a large cut in his left chest, although it is not life-threatening, but it has lost a lot of blood, which will definitely affect the combat effectiveness.
After the battle, we all collapsed on the ground, and we were a little exhausted, but luckily there was a light shield to block the outside, so that we could rest properly and not let us know what would happen to the road.
No one spoke, and they didn't have the extra strength to speak, they just tried to relax themselves and then heal their injuries.
In order to make everyone's recovery better, I asked Rick to hand out medicine to everyone again, and sat alone on the clean steps, watching the scene outside.
The monsters who were isolated outside were just quietly watching us inside, and they didn't want to clean the mask, they didn't want to continue to be hurt by their own attacks.
The Bone Wing Worm stared at us with hatred, as if it wanted to eat us all alive, but this was unrealistic, as long as the light mask still existed, it was absolutely impossible, so it was only imaginary.
The monsters attacked the light mask three times in total, paying a third of the casualties, and in the face of the current situation, the bone wing insect monsters could not think of any solution.
As time passed, the situation became more and more unfavorable to it, and we were recovering from our injuries leisurely, and it couldn't think of a way to break the light mask, and it was not a problem to look at it as stupidly as it is now.
It glared at us with hatred at the end, then thought of the sky roaring, and then turned and flew away, and the other monsters saw that the leader had chosen to leave, so they all turned away, no longer fearing the place that made them.
The monsters quickly disappeared from my sight, and seeing that the danger was over, I immediately got up and went over to inspect the door of the temple.
The huge door is very unpretentious, there is no decoration, just a pure black door, and there is no mechanism that can be used to open the door on the surface, and I don't know how to open it.
Touching the smooth surface of the door, it feels cold to the touch, and it is like a mirror, reflecting my image, faintly feeling that there are energy fluctuations, and the material is also very special, not to say what kind of material it is, I have seen similar materials in the Empire, but they are all quite different from this.
Just as I was concentrating on the door, I suddenly heard the sound of an object falling to the ground, and I turned around and looked around, and finally found it at the stone tablet.
There is always a strong energy emanating from the stele, and the ground is still as clean as when I first saw it, so it is very easy to see the extra things.
What fell to the ground was a blue-purple gem that had originally appeared on the stone tablet, but it seemed to be just an ordinary gem at this time, and there was nothing special about it.
I immediately ran back to the stele, stooped down and picked up the gems on the ground, and when I looked closely, I couldn't see anything of them, so I went back to the gate.
Something unexpected happened, when I touched the gate again, the blue-purple gem suddenly shot out a beam of light, shining on the gate, and then on the gate where there was nothing, a complex pattern suddenly appeared, and then a sense of vibration came.
The patterned gate slowly parted to the sides, revealing a dark passageway.
The sudden opening of the temple door caused everyone to stop their treatment and look at what was happening in front of them.
The open door, the dark passage, heralds a new beginning, the search for the truth, the search for a way out, our reality.
