Chapter 196: Defeat and Guard
Roy didn't bother to touch the Red Sea egg, just walked around the area and observed.
This is the Red Sea Egg, which is an important item for the creation of the Nephilims, since the Scorching Council let the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse kill their compatriots with their own hands when they adopted the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, it means that they are wary of the Nephilim, however, now this Red Sea Egg is not stored separately, but is placed by the Council on an ancient battlefield, what does this mean?
It shows that the Scorching Council also seems to want to do something with this Red Sea egg!
Thinking of this, Roy couldn't help but curse secretly, this anxious council is really a face-to-face and a back-to-back thing, it seems to maintain balance under the banner of the Creator, but secretly there is an inexplicable ambition......
Although he had found his quest item, Roy did not breathe a sigh of relief, but became more and more vigilant.
The Council must have tried to do something by putting the Red Sea Egg here, but now the Red Sea Egg looks like a withered appearance, this is probably because the Council's experiment failed, they can't control the Red Sea Egg, they can't achieve the goal they want, but...... After their defeat, instead of sealing the Red Sea Egg, they let it sit here, are they careless, or do they think that no one can take the Red Sea Egg from here?
If it's the former, then it's okay to say, but if it's the latter, then there's probably some kind of guard here dedicated to guarding the Red Sea Egg!
Roy looked at the endless corpses and bones around him, even though he had seen a lot of dead corpses, but the ancient battlefield in front of him still made him feel a little panicked, he felt that if there were any guards here, then it would be better to hide under these dead bones and corpses, or even ...... Maybe it's the corpses!
Although Roy's demonic blood can create lichs, it is actually only caused by the characteristics of his bloodline, not real undead magic, if the angels and demon corpses on this battlefield really turn into undead and stand up, then Roy will instantly fall into the ocean of undead and it is difficult to get out.
So, the question arises, how to take this Red Sea egg?
Roy knew that the jealousy of entering the council, as well as his undead armies and low-level demons that he used to disrupt his vision, might be able to buy him time, but it might not be too long, and he had to make a decision as soon as possible.
No matter what, since he wants to take away the Red Sea Egg, it may alarm the guards, but Roy has no means to quietly dig up the Red Sea Egg, so he can only come hard!
The size of the Red Sea Egg is very huge, even if it looks a little withered now, but it is still as tall as a small three-story building, Roy can't hold it in his hands, so he can only make a large number of iron chains through the system, weave them into a net-like shape, and then start from the bottom of the Red Sea Egg, put the iron chain on it, and lock it firmly.
When all this was ready, Roy spread his wings and flew into the sky, came to the top of the Red Sea Egg, grabbed the chain like a lasso, and began to pull the Red Sea Egg out with all his strength!
Although he is not known for his strength, after being promoted to a high-ranking demon, Roy's strength value also exceeded 150 points, and when he began to exert his strength, the Red Sea Egg below made a clicking sound, and the soil that had not been turned over for a long time buried in the roots immediately rolled up.
The Red Sea Egg was plucked up some distance, but then, no matter how hard Roy tried, the Red Sea Egg didn't move much.
Roy knows that there is trouble, the Red Sea Egg doesn't know how long it has been shelved in this ancient battlefield, but since it has the characteristics of a plant, it will spare no effort to find a way to absorb nutrients, and if the nearby nutrients are absorbed, it will spread its root system to farther places, so calculated, Roy suspects that the root of the Red Sea Egg at the moment may have covered the entire ancient battlefield!
Damn, a radius of a few kilometers, such a huge area of root network, how much force does it take to pull it up!?
The trouble is not only that, as this "big radish" was pulled out of the distance, the Red Sea egg, which had to enter a dormant state due to the depletion of nutrients, gradually woke up at this moment, and it seemed to sense that it was being pulled off the ground, so it began to shake incessantly to resist, and the resistance from Roy's hand was increased again.
"What the hell!" Roy gritted his teeth and continued to exert himself, the muscles on his arms bulging as he fought against the Red Sea Egg.
However, after a while, Roy realized that this was not possible at all, so he gritted his teeth, freed his hand, summoned Frost Grief from the system space, and with a flick of his hand, an arc-shaped ice blade flew out of his hand, directly slashing at a section of the rhizome of the Red Sea Egg!
At first, Roy didn't want to do this, because he knew that cutting the root system would allow him to pull out the Red Sea egg, but it could also hurt the egg, and what if the egg died because of it, what if Lilith didn't admit it?
What's more, Roy may also use this Red Sea egg...... So he had to find a way to keep the Red Sea egg alive.
The root of the Red Sea Egg was unexpectedly tough, this sharp ice blade only cut half of the root it hit, but did not completely cut it off, after the injury, the root spewed out a large amount of purple liquid from the wound position, which looked like the blood of the demon.
At the same time, the Red Sea Egg struggled even more frantically, this thing was not conscious at all, but only survived on instinct, and the damage to the root system was equivalent to threatening its life, so it began to find a way to fight back.
Its buds began to agitate, and a high-frequency sound came from the eardrum inside, which was difficult for ordinary people to hear, and instantly spread to the entire ancient battlefield.
The next moment, there was a rumbling sound beneath the ground in the distance, the earth was rolled up, and white skeletal arms stretched out from the ground, and these arms were first propped up on the ground, and their bodies were brought to the surface with the help of force.
Roy's guess was correct, the Red Sea Egg was placed here, and it was indeed guarded, but it was not as Roy thought, it was an army of countless dense angels and demons, but ...... Hundreds of weird skeletons with strange shapes!
The size of these strange skeletons is very large, each of them is at least five or six meters tall, but the peculiar thing is that some of these tall skeletons are four-legged, some are four-armed, and some have two skulls, some of which still have demon horns, or dense gums and long and sharp teeth, etc., what these skeletons looked like before they were born, Roy didn't know, but judging from their skeleton appearance, I'm afraid they are some strange-looking creatures.
However, if there is one thing in common, there are also! Behind these skeletons, there is a pair of smooth wing bones!
These wing bones were not symmetrical, Roy could easily tell them, with the wing bones of the Demon Wing on one side and the wing bones of the Angel Wing on the other! Very recognizable.
Needless to say, Roy immediately understood what these skeletons were, most likely the half-demon, half-angelic creatures created by the Scorching Council after leaving the Red Sea Eggs on this ancient battlefield!
However, looking at the strange appearance of these skeletons, Roy also realized that these were probably just failures, the council was not able to create a product like the Nephilim, they were not Lilith after all, and they probably didn't know much about how to use the eggs of the Red Sea......
However, these failed creatures born from the Red Sea Eggs end up being the guardians of the Red Sea Eggs, because for them, the Red Sea Eggs are the mother of their birth, and when the mother is in danger, they will help the mother solve the threat......
These strange skeletons crawled out of the ground, and after they came out, they picked up the tattered and rotten weapons from the battlefield, and then rushed towards the Red Sea Egg.
Originally, Roy thought that even if it looked weird, but a group of bone frames, it shouldn't be much of a threat, but what Roy didn't expect was that a long sword flew towards him from afar, and the speed of the long sword flying was so violent that it actually pierced the sound barrier, emitting an explosive whistling sound, and when it flew past Roy's face, it actually drew a spark on Roy's winter armor!
I'll go! How strong are these skeletons!?
Roy was surprised, but also reacted, specially, whether it was a failure or not, these skeletons were creatures that had been fused with the bloodlines of angels and demons, how could they be treated like ordinary human skeletons?
It's not just a matter of strength, some skeletons even fly up and pounce on Roy when they get closer! The sleek wing bones on their backs don't look like they can fly, but they just fly, because these skeletons still have a powerful magical aura on their bodies, and they are actually magical undead creatures similar to skeleton mages!
Some of the skeletons stayed on the ground, their magic churning, some of them spewed huge pillars of fire at Roy in mid-air, some shot dark corrosive arrows at Roy, and even more outrageous, some skeletons actually condensed golden lightsabers and plunged them from the top of Roy's head!
Can you believe the skeleton that will use the Holy Light!?
These skeletons can't be judged by common sense at all, Roy was in a hurry at first, and as a last resort, Roy could only temporarily give up the fight with the Red Sea Eggs, and free up his hands to prepare to concentrate on dealing with these strange undead skeletons......
