Chapter 40: Failed Action
May 4, 5 year of the federal calendar
Many days have passed, but to this day, the scene still recurs in my nightmares.
I still remember that the dim space was torn apart by an invisible force, and huge faces poked out of the endless darkness and chaos. Its face was pale and stiff, as if wearing a mask. I remember how sad its smile was, but the eerie and terrifying black goo that kept wriggling behind its face.
We stood there in a daze, watching in despair as the strange monster opened its mouth, and inside it was a swirling vortex that looked like a black hole. Then, countless ghost-like black hands poked out from it and tore apart the powerful rune formation set up by the Roland people.
The only pale blue barrier that could protect us vanished, and more black hands came at us. It was only then that I could see the structure of the black hands, a monstrous structure of countless muddy insects entangled with each other.
I was so tightly bound by the boundless fear that I didn't even dare to scream in my brain. I thought we were dead, but the horrible monster was attacked by some kind of force, and the muddy bugs screamed horrible at the same time, almost knocking us unconscious.
It was dragged back into the chaos, and the spatial rift closed.
Wen Li told us that it was a new evil spirit, an evil spirit they had never seen before, and although it was still young, it was already an extremely terrifying existence. Now that the Rolanders are gone, they no longer have the power they once had after turning into skeletons, and they have no power to fight them.
Immediately after, I felt the earth tremble, and countless monsters swarmed along the dark passage. They are more frantic than ever, even to the point that we just charge deeper into the graveyard without any regard for it.
We put away our fears and started figuring out how to stop these crazy monsters.
Crazy monsters don't resist, but they have a strong physique, and they can't be easily defeated with one or two swords, five people plus twenty-one skeletons, they are so small in front of this army of thousands of monsters.
It wasn't until later that we were so tired that we almost collapsed, but there were still many monsters that rushed into the main burial chamber that suppressed the white decay.
Have you ever seen a moth to a fire?
Countless monsters were like moths, swooping towards the huge red ball of light in the center, and then vaporized in mid-air by an invisible force. The ball of light greedily devoured the monster, and the original dead thing began to beat like a heart.
What a beautiful scene.
I can't help but wonder if the Roland people are mistaken. It was not an evil spirit at all, but a great being far beyond the realm of human comprehension, and it would be glorious to be able to give his life and soul for its awakening.
Once this idea emerges, it can never be extinguished. So, I walked towards the ball of light. Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed that they were doing the same thing, and I must be like them at this moment, with a smile on my face, step by step towards glory.
I felt the scorching heat and gave hope like the sun. In a trance, I seemed to see the familiar high-rise building, which was our hometown.
It turns out that as long as I pass through here, I will be able to go home.
Then I saw the god-like creature again. It was a colorful light that shone brighter than the sun, and a golden creature stepped out. It stood in the east, its sturdy body still full of power, but it looked so noble. There was a hint of disgust and vigilance in its proud eyes, and its long, spiky tail shook uneasily before slamming into the ground. The wind began to howl, and the silky white hair on its back fluttered in the wind. I saw the dark red patterns on its surface light up, and the ground began to shake violently.
I saw another creature in the West. It seems to be a life made of plants, and its graceful figure is like that of a noble princess, and its long dress made of leaves and flowers is holy and beautiful. It looked down at everything, its sharp gaze making me afraid to look at it directly, and lowered its head like a child who had done something wrong. After a long time, I heard loud laughter, like madness, but also like thunder. I looked up, and the noble princess had turned away, and her long dress had turned into a battle armor woven of rattan. It was holding a long sword and was looking up to the sky and roaring.
I woke up to the red ball of light gone, leaving only a huge bottomless crater and the rancid smell wafting through the air.
The Son of Dry Bones has fled. We fell into a hallucination and almost died here.
No one knew what was going on, only me and Kui Qu were looking down in thought. We looked at each other and decided to keep silent for now.
……
As many as 3,000 monster troops were lost in half of the mausoleum, and the rest could no longer threaten Stonecrown City. Yue Wei organized an elite force and went out of the city to take the initiative to attack the two monster troops that were acting separately. Du Qi and others also joined them, and under the leadership of Duke Liao, they won two battles and wiped out the monster army.
After the war was over, Du Qi and the others privately reported what happened in the cemetery to King Yue Wei in detail, and only a few core figures of the kingdom such as Duke Liao Yueji, Duke Shanjun Xihu, Duke Yuehu Qiwu and Shengyan were present.
Du Qi thought that even if Princess Fengxing testified, it would be difficult to gain the trust of others. But Yue Wei and Yueji's reaction was unexpected, and they seemed to know more than the players thought.
The Lodge family and the Liao family, two ancient families that have existed tens of thousands of years ago, have cooperated with the Roland royal family and participated in the battle against evil spirits. In their family, there are still some records that have been handed down from that time.
Yue Wei met with Wen Li and the others in private, saying that they would still stand firmly on the same side. And Wen Li and the others also fled because of Bai Decay, and there is no meaning in staying in the mausoleum. After consulting with Duzi and the others, they decided to join the players as an alliance.
Therefore, according to his previous promise, Yue Wei gave a remote piece of land in Shiguan City to the player, and Wen Li and the others could live here with peace of mind, without worrying about the panic caused by the special form of the city residents.
"Anyway, the situation is roughly like this, how to deal with it, you guys come up with a plan as soon as possible!" After setting up the teleportation array at the station, Du Qi returned to Eagle City to find Yuemin.
"Tonight, Yue Wei will hold a banquet to celebrate the victory in the war, and you are also invited!" Yuemin asked suddenly.
"Huh? How do you know, Boss Yuemin? Duzi was surprised.
"Remember what I said earlier? At present, a team of players has entered Shiguan City, and the leader is Diehou! Yue Min said mysteriously, "They will be our secret service organization in the future." ”
"Diehou? Is that the scout-turned-buddy? ”
"That's right! For this, we bought a few domesticated monsters for sending messages at a huge cost. You have to be careful tonight, there is news from Diehou's side, and the envoy of the Holy One Sect seems to have secretly come to Shiguan City. ”
