After discovering that the lower half of this guy's body was actually a stone sculpture, Xue Hua probably understood why there was such a necromancer here.

This guy is probably the last guardian of some of the city's secrets, using an ancient and mysterious ritual to voluntarily link himself to the city's fate.

When the city prospers, he also becomes stronger, and when the city declines, he also declines with it.

However, even if the city is eventually destroyed, as long as the secret he guards has not been given up or revealed, then he will not die.

He's going to live on, one way or another.

His sole purpose in existence is to guard those secrets until the secrets he guards are given up or revealed.

This ritual is called the "Deep Sleep Guard", a high-level ritual used by ancient humans to guard the secrets of the city's core.

It should have been declared a forbidden spell long ago because it had something in common with certain Hell Evil Spells and was easily exploited by the Hell Demon Gods, and only sporadic records of it could be found in some rare texts that had been passed down to ancient times.

Xue Hua's knowledge of this thing was still told to him by Deka Kane, but even the wise man did not know much about this strange ritual.

However, Xue Hua was sure of one thing, and that was that while the Deep Sleep Guardian was still alive, no one would be able to get the things or secrets it guarded.

So, if the Cat-Man Patriarch Doppdoc had put the serpentine ornament and the thing he had stolen from the Sage into the secret guarded by the Sleeping Guard, how did he do it?

And if the Cat-Man Patriarch hadn't put those two things under the protection of the Sleeping Guard, where would he put those things?

Xue Hua frowned, and finally decided to do both, he dispersed the king worms, let them carefully investigate the entire area, and if they found anything wrong, they would report to him immediately.

And he himself continued to attack the center with the swarm.

The combination of the Poison Explosion Worm and the Thunder Beast worked very well, and the armor that grew on the Poison Explosion Worm helped them resist most of the damage, allowing them to rush into the depths of the enemy line and explode themselves.

The scattered bone fragments further increased their destruction area, and the self-explosion of each poisonous explosion insect would empty an entire area into white ground.

The poisonous explosion insect was in front, and the thunder beast followed, and the eight-meter-long monomolecular giant blade was really no joke, especially when it was wielded by a giant beast more than twenty meters high.

The large stone demons summoned by the walking corpse necromancer earlier were now reduced to construction waste all over the ground, and the thunderbeasts were at the front of the swarm, turning the monsters on their backs with an indomitable momentum.

Most of the monsters weren't qualified to die under the slash of a monomolecular blade, and basically the Thunderbeast only had to step through them to clear a way for the swarm behind them.

On the other hand, the Destroyer and the Allosaurus were still attacking the opposing commander, although most of the attacks were blocked by the guy with the astonishingly hard bone shield, and even some of the Xosaurus were accidentally shot down by the walking corpse mages.

But under the attack of this intensity, the sleeping guard really didn't have the heart to continue to trouble Xue Hua.

The Swarm Upgrade Evolution has now reached level 10, and all Swarm units are very resistant to psionic influence.

So when the Sleeping Guardian was unable to continue to cast the curse, the swarm's combat effectiveness quickly recovered.

The jumping insects and cockroaches are fast and fierce again, the bone plates of the exterminators have regained their tenacity, the destructive power of the stinging snakes and lurkers has become stronger again, and the psionic strength of the toadstools and infected has been completely restored.

The worm mothers hissed, the frenzy was hit, and the sprint stage came!

In the face of the overwhelming attack of the insect swarm, the resistance of the monsters and the walking corpses seemed so weak and weak, and it didn't take long for the insect swarm to break out of the monsters' encirclement and come to the only central square in the entire city where there were no infernal monsters.

The necromancer sleeping guard was in the middle of the square.

Isha gave two evaluations of its psionic level, one being 9.2 at its peak and 7.3 now.

Isha's explanation for this was that the necromancer's psionic energy reserves in his body were at least legendary at their peak, and it was only because of the decline of the city and the erosion of time that its power had been reduced to the current level.

But even after falling from the legend, the Deep Sleep Guard still showed Xue Hua the horror of the legendary powerhouse.

In the face of the swarm of insects that pounced on it, this guy showed a powerful and almost perverted combat power.

Its skills seem to have all been mutated, and the mutations are very exaggerated.

In the Bone and Toxin spells, it unleashes tooth skills that penetrate as much as a sniper rifle's bullet, and the bone spear is ten times more powerful than a shoulder-fired rocket.

The power of the corpse explosion skill is equivalent to a salvo of ten siege tanks of a human being, and the soul of bones is so destructive that it can cause even thunderbeasts to be severely damaged.

Fortunately, it has never used the two skills of Poison Explosion and Poison Gas Nova, otherwise the casualties of the swarm may be even greater.

The swarm surrounded it in the center and besieged it in turns, and after paying the price of thousands of swarm deaths, it finally drained this guy's mana.

Then, the guy finally fell under the powerful barrage of fire from the saboteurs and stinging snakes.

Xue Hua came out of the king worm's belly sac, looked at the corpses of the Zerg units all over the ground with some distress, and then took out the magic staff and began to resurrect these dead units as much as he could.

His current mutation skills can only revive units such as Hopper, Cockroach (and its variants), and Stinging Snake (and its variants), but fortunately, these three units have the largest proportion of units lost.

With the uninterrupted supply of mana from the psionic units of the swarm, Xue Hua successfully reduced the battle damage of the swarm from about 4,000 to 1,248, of which more than 800 were poisonous explosion insects, and the rest were some allosaurs and infected and toadstools that were accidentally affected.

None of the swarm hosts were lost, and their teleportation ability was so useful that they could often be successfully transferred elsewhere in a critical moment.

After resurrecting most of the Zerg units, Xue Hua put away his staff and turned his attention to the shattered corpse of the Sleeping Guard.

He walked over and took the bone staff in his hand to take a look, only to find that it was still displayed in the Sacred Covenant system.

"The polished spine, the weapon of the Snake Canyon Sleeping Guards, is also the key to unlocking the lowest level of the Claw Viper Temple."

Seeing this information, Xue Hua couldn't help but be shocked.

Snake Canyon is indeed here!

But after the joy, he quickly became confused.

The snake canyon sounds like a place name, but this place has been searched by the king insects, and I don't see any canyons?

As he frowned and observed the corpse of the Sleeping Guard, the gem ornament in his inventory suddenly spontaneously ran out of his inventory and floated directly onto the strange stone pillar in the lower half of the Sleeping Guard's body, and then shot a colorful light from the center of the ornament to the stone pillar.

The stone pillar carved with strange patterns seemed to have been released, and it slowly shrank down into the ground.

Immediately after, streaks of light lit up on the ground beside Xue Hua, and a teleportation array that looked like a small station was activated under his feet.

"Holy?! Teleportation again?! ”

Xue Hua only had time to scream before he disappeared above the teleportation array in an instant.
