Chapter 156: Migration (I)
The broken puppet resembles a humanoid soldier in armor, and although it is now rusty, missing a head, half an arm, and a whole leg, it is not difficult to see the appearance of the former majesty.
It seems that it has been buried for too long, most of the metal on the puppet has decayed, and if Sistum's tentacles touch it a little harder, the puppet's limbs will be scattered, and some translucent scattered particles will fall from it.
It is not known what material this pellet is made of, and Systm can taste it, and for him, this loose pellet is like salt, and it provides a good experience.
Unfortunately, the particles were too scattered for Syst to collect and carry.
The episode of finding the puppet passed quickly, and Heatham and Shadow continued to travel through the cracks in the ruins, changing direction several times, and after about two kilometers of travel, they finally found the portal that Shadow said.
In fact, it is said to be a portal, but in fact the portal is not the shape of a door, but rather a round stone manhole cover, carved with intricate unknown patterns, about two meters in diameter.
According to Shadow, whether it is the twenty-sixth layer of the abyss or the location of the unknown layer of the abyss, there are exactly the same portals.
Just wait for two months, stand on top of the portal and activate it with power, and you can teleport.
The power required to activate the portal is very special, and there are several powers in Systm's body that cannot be activated.
Only Shadow can exert a special power on the teleporters, causing the portal to produce a faint blue glow.
It is estimated that this portal has been separated for so long, and no one has found and hidden it.
After Ei's induction, the portal has been charged by nearly a third, and there are still about forty days before it can be teleported again.
Systm tried to move the stone disc with his tentacles, but found that the stone was so heavy that it was almost impossible to bring the disc back to the lair.
The diameter of the stone disc is not very large, and with this two-meter diameter portal, it is obviously difficult to teleport all his ant people away.
However, Sistemm had thought of a solution yesterday, and that was to use the Black Jewel Ring to connect to the Shadow Key of the Temple of Shadows.
The black gem ring can be activated once in half a month, and there are two ways to activate it.
One is that the user of the ring teleports to the half-plane along with the ring; The other is where the user of the ring uses the power of the ring to teleport other things to the half-plane.
What Syst wants is the second way to use the ring, using the half-dimensional shadow temple as a transit station, which can not only solve the problem that the portal cannot teleport too many ant people, but also greatly shorten the migration time, as long as a few members carry the ring together.
Sistrem had already planned the migration of the six members last night.
Ola, who must stay outside to activate the ring, the strongest Shava and Meatball, the excavator who is in charge of digging, and him and Shadow, who is in charge of opening the portal.
And it was only after Sissym made these decisions that the blood in his body trembled inexplicably, and then calmed down.
The uneasiness that had appeared more than ten days ago was gone, and it seemed that because of this migration, the impending disaster on the Warren Plains was estimated to be difficult to affect him.
The feeling from [intuition] also made Heatham even more determined to leave here.
……
Sistemm realizes that there is nothing unusual about the ruins and quickly decides to return, but on the way back, Sistemm discovers a Death Knight again, and it is the Death Knight who is fighting a worm demon.
Because the light of the fire was very conspicuous at night, it was easy for Systm to spot the battle more than a dozen kilometers away.
The strength of the Death Knight that Sistemm had seen this time was obviously much weaker than the last time he encountered him, and the skeleton warhorse he summoned was not the kind of blue fire, but just an ordinary skeleton warhorse.
On the other hand, the Death Knight's opponent, the Worm Demon, is nearly three meters tall, and in addition to the flames that erupt from his mouth from time to time, the Worm Demon's hands will also shoot out some sticky and tough silk threads, which is obviously formed by the transformation of the Spider Demon.
It was this thread that made the Death Knight's attacks more and more sluggish, and gradually fell into a disadvantageous situation.
It didn't take long for the Death Knight's actions to become more inconvenient as the number of threads increased, and the giant insect demon gave up his long-range attack and rushed forward, and his strong physique caused the insect demon to tear off the death knight's two arms in an instant, and tossed them aside.
After that, the insect demon began to use its claws to torture the immobile Death Knight.
Sensing that Systham was watching the battle between the demons and the Death Knight with great interest, Shadow sent a spiritual message: "Most demons are like this, they can kill each other instantly, but they have to perform senseless torture. ”
"Maybe they'll be happy when they're tormented."
Systm replied, and flew to the side, just as the worm flung the arms of the Death Knights, one of whom was nearby.
It has to be said that the giant insect demon has a lot of power, throwing the death knight's arm nearly two kilometers away.
Flying down, Systm quickly peeled off the black armor on his arm, revealing his hairy arm.
Judging by the appearance of this arm, it should be the arm of a jackal.
"Could it be that the undead spellcaster turned the gnolls warrior into a death knight? Or are these death knights themselves gnolls? ”
Systham muttered, his feelings growing more and more confused by what had happened on the Plains of Warren.
Heatham quickly shook his head, he had already decided to leave the land of right and wrong on the Warren Plains, and there was no point in thinking about these things.
Continue to look at the arms of the Death Knight, unlike the arms of the Gnoll Zombies, the flesh on the arms of the Death Knight appears to be tighter, and it also has the elasticity of normal flesh.
Using the tentacles above his head, he sniffed the Death Knight's arm, which Systm tried to throw away, but put it in his mouth and bit it.
As Sistm had predicted, after biting a small piece of flesh on his arm, Sistm spit it out, and the flesh of the Death Knight was as foul as a skeletal horse with blue fire, and Sistm couldn't stand it.
In addition to the fleshiness of the Death Knight, Heatham also gained another catch, which was a black ring on the Death Knight's finger.
If Sistem's expectation is correct, the black ring is also a magical item.
However, this ring Sistemm thought for a while, and threw it out, the previous golden acorn attracted the druid, and this ring may not lead to something.
Systham really didn't want to cause any trouble when he was leaving.
……
Away from the site where the Worm Demon and the Death Knight were fighting, Systham and Shadow continued their flight towards the lair without reappearing in any unusual condition.
After a day and a half, Systham and Shadow successfully explored the portal in the ruins and returned.
All that remains is to gather food and wait quietly for forty days.
Before leaving, though, Heatham has one more important thing to work out.
That's Butterfly Ola, and although Butterfly Ola controls the Key to Shadow, it's hard to know if Ola will help Systham, after all, this butterfly is too lazy.
Sisstem had to find a way to convince Ola, and if the persuasion failed, Sisstem had to take advantage of Ola's character weakness and dig a few pits for Ola to jump into, so as to achieve his goal......
