Chapter 277: Divine Iniquity (3/3)
The moment they heard this "mournful music", the army of ghouls that had originally crowded the entire moon passage all rushed forward, and many of them jumped up directly, stepping directly on the ghouls blocking the way in front of them, and forcibly broke through.
The entire corridor became a large-scale trampling site, as if there was a torrent of positive energy behind them that could destroy everything.
Zhao Xu couldn't help but look back at the way he came, but found nothing.
It had become empty after the undead "Shadow Left".
And he looked at the road again, and the entrance of the passage, which was several meters high, was already crowded with ghouls who were scrambling.
When Zhao Xu saw this scene, he also let go and jumped off the wall, and his boots suddenly stepped on the inexplicable "puddle". Only at this time, he had no time to pay attention, and his attention was completely focused on the ghoul in front of him.
"Master, shall we follow?" Lux suggested.
"Hmm." Zhao Xu had just come down from the wall for this reason, and he immediately hung quickly behind the lagging ghoul, only less than ten meters apart.
And those backward ghouls, who kept lying on their stomachs and haunted the ghouls in front of them, could no longer squeeze in.
Zhao Xu walked for nearly ten minutes before he found that there was a slight light on the road in front of him, which meant that the entrance to the end of the tunnel was coming.
And this distance followed, so that he, who was limited by his vision range at the beginning, estimated that this road was probably not less than a kilometer.
That is, the number of ghouls just now is probably as high as tens of thousands.
Needless to say, it's just that the army of ghouls in this corridor has just been put on the battlefield of "Falling Star Lake", and whether the players can win or not is between the two.
And Zhao Xu has been following here, and finally smelled some fresh air, which made his nose feel better.
Slowly, as the number of ghouls decreased, the hole that had been densely blocked began to penetrate the light of the outside world.
At this time, Zhao Xu also walked to the end of the corridor, and the road ahead was cut off.
He looked at it, and there was an empty field of vision in front of him, and a hundred meters below was the vast underground city.
Countless old buildings from the past are lined up, most of them designed in the style of thousands of years ago, and many of them have turned dark on the outside, revealing the earthy material inside.
Looking at it like this, Zhao Xu can still feel the magnificent momentum, as if he has experienced the witness of history, and the only thing missing is the breath of people.
And Zhao Xu's current location is in a cliff, and the road where he is located is just one of the holes carved out of the cliff.
The ghouls who ran out were all rushing down the nearly seventy or eighty-degree slope of the cliff at the moment, or rolling down.
Zhao Xu poked his head out and looked slightly, and found that this cliff did not only have a hole here, but also more than a dozen similar holes, all of which were constantly spewing out a large number of undead creatures, running towards the town below, from zombies and skeletons to mummies and ghouls.
However, the world in front of him was still singing the song of mourning for the dead, and the sound seemed to come from the gray and monotonous void sky, directly penetrating into everyone's heart.
"This is the ancient 'Land of the Sleepers' Anta who was once cut away from the main material plane when the god of death Naraku fell, turning it into a floating half-plane. It's just that I didn't expect it to merge with this 'scavenging beast cave' half-plane. Lux sighed.
The Land of the Sleepers?
Zhao Xu's religious knowledge, historical knowledge, and local knowledge were instantly linked to retrieve a piece of content.
The Land of the Sleepers, a legendary land of the undead. It was once the testing ground of Naraku, the god of death, a city that even the most courageous holy warriors would not dare to set foot on to slay the undead.
At this time, it was not difficult for Zhao Xu to understand why there were tens of thousands of ghouls crowded in the passage, it turned out that he had come to this town where the inhabitants were all undead.
It's just that Zhao Xu was thinking about the reason.
Anta appeared in the half-plane of the Grim Reaper, and the Mages of the Guild didn't tell him.
It shows that this has only happened in the last few days, and naturally it is the man of death who did it. What about the point of the scheme?
In order for it to be able to grasp the godhead of the god of death?
After feeling the danger inside, Zhao Xu crouched lower at this time, and at this moment he no longer cared about the stench that had not yet dissipated in the passage.
"Lux, it was you who helped the man make the god of death, and the other party was able to get out of the ritual of those priests of death, Naraku. So since it's already gone, why wait until I enter the underground temple to leave, and then decisively enter this half of the plane to obtain the godhead of the god of death? Zhao Xu asked.
"What else is it missing?"
"That's right, master." Lux cautiously explained, "Actually, it's waiting for the day of the god's war. At that time, it was no longer able to move, and the gods and Arthur's many planes had no time to pay attention. β
"It's just that the master's entry into the underground temple has also attracted the attention of the Mage Association and the Goddess Temple, so it naturally can't hide anymore."
Zhao Xu couldn't help but sigh when he heard it, it turned out that he was waiting for a hundred years just for the opportunity of the chaos, but he didn't expect to be interrupted by him.
"Master, if you can get the Godhead, let alone a thousand years, even if it is ten thousand years." Lux seems to have seen too many cases of godhead competition, "As far as the algorithm association guesses that there is a godhead here, they are all just as patient, and they have been slowly doing infiltration work for thousands of years. β
"Even this time when the artificial god of death entered it, they treated it calmly, just like a legendary mage. Because time and patience will allow them to overcome all enemies, and even if this artificial god of death does not deal with it well, it is just a chance to cultivate a god for the mage guild. β
"So, merging this 'Land of the Sleepers' is how the man-made Grim Reaper responds."
Suddenly, the "Song of the Dead" between the heavens became more and more resounding throughout the universe, so much so that it affected Zhao Xu's thoughts and made him begin to soak in this sentimental atmosphere.
And in the entire land of the dead, countless undead creatures who were walking blindly were also kneeling in one direction at this moment.
The fear that came from the higher personalities of nature made these skeleton zombies, even if they had no consciousness and intelligence, follow them to their knees and did not dare to move at all.
At this time, Zhao Xu was still thinking about what was happening, but the corner of his eye immediately reminded him of the source of this strange situation.
At the edge of the sky, an amber coffin flew slowly through the air, with countless silver-glowing chains attached to another flying creature.
Twenty-four gigantic flying creatures, each chained, roaming the sky with amber coffins, worshipping countless undead creatures.
These flying creatures are like huge bats, more than ten meters with their wings outstretched, and their bodies are shrouded in shadows.
And around this sarcophagus, there are more than ten black-looking energy clusters, and I can barely tell that they are black human shapes. They didn't hold the Amber Coffin, they seemed to be on guard on the periphery, and their flight posture was slow and clumsy.
At this time, Zhao Xu noticed that there was a mummy sitting on one of the bat-like flying creatures.
For a while, Zhao Xu couldn't think of a low-level monster like a mummy, how could it be related to these undead creatures that were extraordinary at first glance.
However, Zhao Xu had just glanced at it, and immediately felt a coldness all over his body, and the fear in his heart also gushed out directly, filling his whole body and mind.
[Adventurer Midsummer, you are affected by the effect of 'Despair', and fall into a state of "paralysis" due to fear, which lasts for 3 rounds (1D4 rounds)]
Zhao Xu's whole person couldn't move, and he fell into a stiff state.
The former dragon flew over his head, swooping and roaring at their team, causing them to be affected by the dragon's might.
That's the state of "fear".
Who would have thought that Zhao Xu's just such a glance from a distance of hundreds of meters would directly make him suffer the effect of "paralysis".
"Master, that's a demigod mummy, and at this time, the other party is exempt from the 'despair' effect of the difficulty up to level 48, as long as you witness it, you need to resist with immunity."
Lux's tone also became serious at this time, she had never paid such attention to the "Deep Hell Purgatory" whose challenge level was close to legendary.
"Ordinary mummies are formed by the death of human beings."
"But demigod mummies mean that the person in front of them is a demigod." Lux said.
"Next to the amber coffin are the undead 'Nightshade', powerful undead creatures of equal parts darkness and pure evil. The bat-like Nightshade is chained to the Winged Nightshade at Challenge Level 14. The night shadow of the guarded humanoid around is the 'Voltaic Night Shadow' that challenges level 16. β
At this time, Zhao Xu noticed that behind the amber coffin, there were other undead creatures walking out of the void, all following the coffin.
It's just that Zhao Xu's eyes immediately stared at one of the large undead creatures, looking at the baby-like appearance with a confused look.
"It is the iniquity of the gods, the stillborn of the godsβthe Atrophied One." Lux noticed Zhao Xu's field of vision, and also added this.
It's just that she is a little more cautious about this existence.
"The Atrophy will kill all the life present, in fact, many undead kingdoms are controlled by the Atrophy, and the owner of this 'Land of the Sleepers' is it, but I didn't expect it to be."
"Master, you have to be very careful, whether it's a shrunken god or a demigod mummy, it's a legendary creature, and it may also have divine powers."
When Zhao Xu saw this scene, he also knew that this was the most dangerous moment he had encountered since entering the game, and he restrained his slightly trembling body and retreated a few points into the passage, as if the darkness behind him could protect him better.
"And what's in the amber coffin they're escorting?" Zhao Xu asked.
"Well, it's the godhead of the Grim Reaper, our goal this time." As if she had prey, Lux said briskly and joyfully.
