The crowd hid in the tunnel, and the sand outside buried the entire entrance, blocking the ferocious monsters. Several of the monster hunters in the tunnel have Eagle Eye meditation skills that allow them to see clearly in the dark, and the light at the bend at the end of the tunnel makes it not completely dark. They hurried to check their condition, especially Mohm's wounds.

"I'm fine, their daggers are clean, I've been drugged. The half-dwarf tightened the wound with all his might, then pulled the spear and sword halfway out and used it as a crutch. Feige treated him in hell and his wounds were fine, but he had a cane to recover better. "Don't just look at me, aren't you hurt?"

Giles shook his head, Kyree raised an eyebrow, and Silkina pursed her lips...... Momm looked at Feige, hoping he wouldn't be the only one unlucky. But Feige sighed and said helplessly, "My clothes are torn, but they don't pierce the armor. ”

"Well, you're all taller than me, but I'm unlucky, and it's the lowest position of the ankle—is that reasonable?" Momm snorted and blew his beard, then asked, "Who of you knows what those monsters are out there?"

"It feels like some kind of goblin. You know if you shave all the goblin hair and dye it again, it will look like that. As she spoke, Sisina adjusted her throwing knives to move them to a more comfortable position. "As for the big ones, I look a lot like ogres, ...... the same"

"Shave your hair and paint it?" Mohm snorted, "You memory monster has a very easy solution. ”

"Alright, our most important problem is how to get out of here. "It's very unnatural here, the mountains are bursting out of the craters and then all the monsters are pouring out?" I think somebody is behind this." ”

"I think so, too. Kailie agreed: "Feige is right, the organization of monsters is obviously hierarchical, and the hair and color change ogre manages the hair and color change goblins, and so many ogres can fight together, which also means that they must have a higher level, or even a superior." ”

"They started attacking as we approached the top of the slope, and did you notice: the hair and color change ogre I knocked over fell to the bottom of the slope and was teleported to the top. So, whoever built or managed this place was clearly very proficient in spells like teleportation. Feige thought for a moment, then pointed deeper into the passage: "Obviously, the other party wants to force us in, and wants us to go in that direction." ”

Everyone looked at the entrance and exit buried by the sand, and the screams of monsters were faintly heard behind them. "My earth elemental binding tentacles can't hold them back forever, but two or three days will still do. Feige said, "That high-danger teleportation spell of mine will take at least two days to draw the spell circle, so I think it's safe to wait until I'm done drawing the spell circle to make sure there's a way back, even if it's a dangerous one, before moving forward?"

"Two days, I'm afraid we don't have that much time. Kelie shook his head: "I'm afraid it's not safe to split into two teams, so how about we sneak on, learn more about the environment here, and then make plans for the next step?"

None of them commented, but looked at Feige. Whether as the presiding priest of Icepeak Fortress or the only person who can teleport spells, Feige's opinion is very important. No one expected that Feige would be immediately persuaded by Kailey: "Well, it's good to explore first." I can gather a little more information, which will help improve the security of teleportation. By the way, I need to do a lot of calculations first, so you guys protect me a little more. ”

There's definitely nothing wrong with that, just let Feige go in the middle. Mom and Kylie held their steps in front, and Giles and Silkina held their tails behind. Feige was among the four of them, constantly looking around, muttering something that no one could understand. The teasing stick constantly taps gently against the ground, making a monotonous and rhythmic thump that accompanies Feige's footsteps.

The need for human protection is true, but observing and doing calculations for teleportation is false. Feiqi's spatial teleportation technique didn't require two days of preparation, nor did he need to carve a magic circle, he could completely cast it in the form of a spell. It's just that this spell is very lengthy and requires a lot of mana to build. Feige is going to do this now while he's exploring.

He did this without telling his companions, and even more so from the administrators of this strange place. After all, there is a great possibility, and someone has been watching them - the phenomenon of unleashing monsters near the top of the sand slope is proof of this. What "two days" and what "depicting the magic circle" are all said by Feige to the "secret observer". He had to cast spells secretly, carefully masking mana fluctuations, and during this time he had to try to avoid being disturbed, otherwise the spell would be finished.

When Fei Qi first arrived here, he said that his spatial teleportation array was very dangerous, not to lie, but there were two spatial magic circles. Ordinary teleportation requires knowing the destination and place of origin, and then opening the spatial passage with a device the size of a three-barrel circle. The other is to use the summoning statue technique, with Feiqi as the origin point and midnight as the destination, using the same soul belonging to two places as an anchor point to establish a spatial passage.

The latter method does not require a circle and is relatively simple to use, but it has its drawbacks. In terms of souls, only one individual can be teleported at a time, two anchor points must remain untouched, and teleporting back consumes a large amount of mana from the anchor points. The summoned statue uses an offering to provide a mana cost, while the summoned demon himself bears the other half. That's why the devils want to collect as many sacrifices as they can when they are summoned: they have to earn their money back.

When escaping, you don't need to think about the cost, you just need to think about the success rate. Using the latter method allows the companions to go back, but it also reveals the secrets of their ability to be summoned. Only otherworldly creatures can apply this method of summoning statues, regardless of whether they will think of Feige as an angel or a demon, in short, "Feige is not human" is a certainty.

'Even if it's exposed, it's better than no means of escape!' Feiqi slowly accumulated mana, storing the spell runes in the cat teasing stick, careful not to be discovered by others.

"Look at these walls," Mom scouted ahead, touching the stone walls and ground from time to time, using the dwarves' ability to sense the rocks to make sure there were no traps. "These walls are very old, and I estimate that the reliefs on them are three or four thousand years old, and they have been eroded over time. ”

"Yes, through the ages...... If we die here, we'll have to go through the erosion of time!" Sisina slashed hard at the wall with her dagger, and the slag mixed with shell powder fell with a clatter. "I don't like this place, let's find a way out!"

"Always looking!" Mohm blew his beard. They came to the corner of the passage and cautiously poked their heads out to look in the direction of the glow. A large hall was just outside the exit of the passage a few meters away, and the sunlight shone through the hole in the roof of the hall from top to bottom, right towards the exit of the passage.

It's a marble building with a tall dome, and the glass puzzle windows on either side remind Feige of many church structures. They came out of the passage right at the bottom of this "church", twenty meters wide on each side, and then the nave extended four hundred and fifty meters forward. Every 10 meters or so is a 5-meter-wide glass window that leads to the ceiling and is 20 meters high. All the windows are a pattern: a giant flaming axe.

Sunlight shines through a circular hole in the center of the dome, and dust in the air is clearly visible. Under the sun, thousands of specimens of various creatures filled the hall. The largest specimen was a two-hundred-meter-old lizard covered in carapace and eight legs, but for Feige, the most conspicuous specimen was a Dread-Eater Giant.

"Can these be three or four thousand years old?" Silkina threw a throwing knife and thrust into a lizardman specimen not far away. "It does seem to be dead...... What kind of weird place is this?"

"This is the Old World Pavilion and the New World Vanguard Battalion. ”

The crowd followed the sudden voice and saw that it was a specimen of a hairless and painted goblin talking. At the same time as the voice sounded, the specimen's eyes lit up, and a blue flame rose. With a creaking and grinding sound, the goblin waved at them stiffly, "That's right, I'm talking." I'm not a mite though. ”

It seems that the scientific name of the dehairing and coloring goblins is called mite essence, and if you think about their huge number, it is appropriate to name them with the word "mite". Kyle looked at Feige and motioned for him to speak on behalf of the group. However, Feige still had to store the spell, so he shook his head and motioned for Kylie to speak.

"What kind of place is this, and how can I leave?"

"Ah, monster hunters from the Ice Peak Fortress, your words have disappointed me. I have already answered the first question, and the answer to the second question is obviously no. The mite squeezed out a stiff, ugly, and malicious smile, and said, "Your fate has only one ending, and that is to bury your dead goddess." ”

Sixina's throwing knife struck the center of the mite's eyebrows, and almost all of them were gone. The little monster staggered to the ground, then slowly touched the knife between its eyes and slowly pulled it out. Feige noticed red, white, and yellowish material hanging from the blade of the throwing knife, much like the brain tissue of a living being, and that normal specimens should have removed all of this.

"Don't be in a hurry, throwing a throwing knife like this won't kill me, and even if I destroy this shell, I can still move to another place, so don't bother destroying my collection. The mite stood up again, rubbed his brow with his hand, and the breach healed quickly. "Don't be so hostile, I didn't do anything to you. Yes, I did set a trap to trap you in, and I didn't let you leave, but at least I didn't hurt you!"

This mite spirit is obviously messing around, and everyone will not believe it, let alone sit idly by. With the tacit understanding of the monster hunters, they immediately began to investigate the surroundings, especially these very strange-looking specimens. What don't break the rules and the like work for them?, Keley swung his spear and sword, directly decapitated a monster that resembled a velociraptor and then raised his head to show everyone: "This is not a specimen, it is complete inside." ”

"Specimens? You're underestimating me. The mite smiled sympathetically, then snapped its fingers, and immediately six specimens of different creatures came to life, their eyes blazing at the monster hunters with blue flames. The men of Icecrest quickly assemble at Feiqi, then draw spears and swords, or attack with heavy crossbows and flying, breaking their knees, restricting their movement, and then piercing the heart or neck of the vital point. These specimens looked very unbeatable, and their combat power was similar to that of the mite spirits on the previous sand slope, and they quickly fell to the ground and died. The blue flame extinguished, and strange pale pink blood flowed from the wound, spreading in all directions, gradually spreading all over the ground.

"We'll kill as many as we come!" Although Kelie said very hard, the combat environment here was not much different from the previous on the sandy slope, and such a number of specimens came to life, drowning them.

"Kill, kill whatever you want. The mite chuckled. "By the way, before you start your futile operation, I want you to meet a few people. ”

As he was talking, a few people walked through the specimen and walked over from the other side of the main hall. Everyone had eagle eyes meditating, and at a glance they saw those "people" whose eyes were dominated by blue cold flames. "Kanter, Milton, this is the apprentice of the Blue Shield Fortress, and what about the hunters of the fortress, how can the apprentice ...... too?"

"Yes, they're just like you, except they took a lot of effort to get to the 'Rift', and two more died on the way, not as easy as you. The mite spirit smiled and said, "They are more obedient than you, so they came here to check directly." Then I used up the monster hunters of the cat school, and I had these two collectibles left. Are you monster hunters all sick and like to fight and kill if you don't like to talk? Forget it, even if there are differences, the results are not different, it doesn't matter. ”

"I want to hack this little monster to death!" Mohm lowered his sword and removed his beloved dwarven hand axe from his belt. "Feige, do you need a research specimen? I think this is a good thing. ”

"Chopped. As Fitch spoke, Mohm raised his knife and split the mite into two pieces vertically. His hands were fierce, the axe was fast, and his heart was still beating when the "specimen" became two.

"They didn't die, but fell into a mixture of hibernation and paralysis. Kyle and Giles examined the corpses from before, returned to the queue and said, "These guys in front of us are all hibernating, and their heartbeats are likely to drop to once a day, so we all think they are specimens." Then they are awakened when their eyes are blue on fire, but their bodies seem to be controlled by someone else. ”

"Creepy. Mohm said, "If I'm about to become like this, please smash my head and make sure I'm dead!

"Oh, you underestimate me. I am not evil, I am a being purer than evil. You can call me the Blue Knight of War. A gray dwarf with blue eyes walked through the specimen, and it was clear that he had become the new spokesperson. "Welcome to my war collection. ”

"Think beautiful, you impostor dwarf!" Mom raised his axe and was about to continue slashing the guy on the other side, but suddenly stopped: "Ice Blade, I'...... I don't feel good. ”

Sisina pulled him back, and then noticed that the half-dwarf's entire body began to stiffen, and a purple substance spread through the veins on the surface of the skin. "Smash my head, smash it!" Mohm's voice began to muffle, but the anger and horror in it were palpable. At the same time, Kylie also said, "Oops, I don't think it's good either." ”

The paralysis began to spread, purple in their blood, and their skin turned pale, like the strangely colored mites outside. "Corpse blood. Giles said three words succinctly, and the front view was to cut himself with a gun and sword, but he was incapacitated before he could hurt himself.

"The blood that comes out of the corpse, it's poisonous, stay out of it!" Feige immediately understood Giles's words. The three of them had all gone to chop the specimens that had pounced on them before, and although they were not injured, their bodies were more or less splashed with blood. Fei Qi looked closely, and the paralysis was indeed spreading from the blood droplets, where the purple color of the blood vessels was obviously deeper. "Watch out for the ground!" Fitch and Silkina quickly avoided and stood in a dry place.

"Now you see, you are bound to fail. The Blue Knight of War looked at Fitch and Silkna, who were still able to move for the time being, with blue eyes. "Don't worry, you will die, but there will be no pain. Don't get me wrong, I mean that there is no pain after death, not before. Of course, you monster hunters have a more important purpose than these specimens. ”

"Let me think about it...... Do you want to get information from us?" Feige replied, pressing his hand on Silkna's shoulder, tapping her index and middle fingers lightly to calm her down. "No, intelligence is just incidental, you should want something more. I'm thinking, those lights outside can only be seen by monster hunters, not ordinary people, right?"

"That's right, that's right, you've bought yourself a little time to talk, go ahead. ”

"The difference between a monster hunter and an ordinary person is the enhancement of rituals and seals, and the keen senses are secondary. The red and blue light has elements of summoning and space spells in it, and I always thought it was a summoning creature to my world, but I didn't expect it to be the other way around, summoning monster hunters to come here. ”

"You're above average, and I'm really happy for you because you're going to be one of my favorite collectors." ”

"No, I'm not going to be your collector's item, you don't have to lie to me. Feige looked at the cat teaser and smiled, his fingers still tapping on Silkna's shoulder. "I have solved the corner of the puzzle: you have seen the power that our goddess of truth and wisdom has given us, and this power has come to us with enhancement rituals and seals, thus making us unique. These two apprentices were able to become specimens because they had not yet performed the enhancement ritual, let alone the Dharma seal. Therefore, we will not have their end. ”

"Hahaha, you have a vision! Your thinking is also very good! I'll make an exception for you to leave a head. ”

It's not a matter of vision and thinking, it's that Feige finally figured it out. Unlike the other monster hunters, he had undergone the Enhancement Ritual, but he had already changed his body - the skin that had been repaired and resurrected had been completely abandoned - so the Goddess Blessing that had been struck by lightning in the Enhancement Ritual was long gone. The Sigil and Eagle Eye Meditation are just two "techniques", one that can only be obtained after being a monster hunter, and the other requires strong physical fitness as a foundation. Whether Fei Qi uses the body of the Contract Demon or the Desire Demon, it far exceeds the physical fitness needs of the Eagle Eye Meditation Technique, so it does not affect it. And the magic seal is a kind of rune engraving that is combined with the soul, and it will still be there if the body is changed.

Therefore, the enhancement ritual is the key, and the blessing of the goddess is the fundamental. Fei Qi himself can't see the red and blue light, but he can see it when he holds the cat teasing stick, and that's because the cat teasing stick is made of the essentia of the goddess God's kingdom, and it is much stronger than the blessed lightning in the enhancement ceremony! In the same way, if he holds the Pit Divine Sword, Fei Qi feels that he should also be able to see red and blue light......

However, he was more concerned about what the Blue Knight had said before, so he asked, "You said that the goddess died, when did you?"

"Time is immeasurable, but the result is certain. She was overwhelmed and became a fragment, although she was indeed heroic, and it cannot be said that she had done useless work, but the result remained the same, only delayed for a while. ”

"You're a member of the Creator, aren't you?" Feige stopped tapping his fingers, patted Sisina lightly on the shoulder, and walked over to Mohm. The half-dwarf's eyes could still turn, and he kept looking at Feiqi, crying all the time, his expression full of pleading. "When will the Creator come?"

The Blue Knight fell silent, the blue flames in the eyes of the surrounding specimens were all extinguished, and then a skull studded with gems flew over and stopped in front of Feiqi. "You've earned respect and status for yourself, at least to see me. ”

"So this skull is your body? No, I think it's one of your bodies. ”

"One of the ontologies. I don't have a body, and I won't die if this skull destroys it. But I like this form the most because the gems on it are so perfect!"

Indeed, the skull had two huge diamonds in its eye sockets, a sapphire in its nostrils, red, green, and yellow gems on each of its teeth, and amber piercings in its ears. But what caught Feige's attention the most was that it drilled into the void directly above its head, and there was an ellipsoidal crystal cluster the size of an egg!

"You say that the goddess is dead and broken, but at least she didn't do useless work. I was mixed to hear the news, and it also caused me another question......" Feige smiled slightly, avoiding the blood stains on Mohm's body, put his hand on the half-dwarf's hair, looked at the skull, and asked, "Isn't the creator broken?"

"How dare you ask that!"

"There are so many things I dare to do!" Fei Qi stomped the ground hard and shouted, "The Earth Elemental Binding Array is fully open!"

Countless earth elemental tentacles emerged from the ground and gathered around Feiqi, layered, dense, and shoulder to shoulder, extending in all directions. Feige was to use them to hold down any taxidermy monsters that came close, and then let everyone go.

The teleportation spell and earth elemental binding, which had been stored for a long time, were cast at the same time, and the first one to go was Mom. Without saying a word, Sisina dragged Kyle and Giles over with her clothes, threw them at Feige's feet, and then picked up Kyle's spear and sword, and made a defensive gesture in front of her chest. "Don't worry, Feiqi, I get it, I won't let them bother you. ”

"I know you understand, hold on. Feige crouched, concentrating on maintaining the spell, which also gave Silkna room to wield her long weapon. He didn't knock the code on Sisina's shoulder for a long time, and there is always a tacit understanding between monster hunters.
