Chapter 25: The Underground Arsenal
The debris from the explosion hit Chen Yue's armor, making a sound of metal clashing.
The ground under Chen Yue's feet was all made of steel, and although it was also severely decayed, it was able to create a large hole in it with just one blow, and the attack power of the skeleton archer could be seen.
"It allows us to spend less time going to the basement." Chen Yue chuckled, not paying much attention to the fact that the skeleton archer was about to approach the attack effect of his casual blow, and came to the hole created by the explosion alone.
Kel'thugad and the others were shocked, they didn't expect the skeleton archers to be much more powerful than they imagined, and by the time they reacted, Chen Yue had already jumped into the basement layer, and the skeleton archers were also close behind.
Lacking in wisdom and not being surprised by the strength of the skeleton archer, Pacwick watched Chen Yue jump down and jumped with him.
The black witch Falina and the plague messenger North looked at each other, and could only reluctantly jump into the big hole with Kel'thugad, they understood that judging from the strength shown by the skeleton archer, Chen Yue's strength may not be an opponent even if they are combined.
Chen Yue is not a reckless person, he can clearly see the situation on the next floor from the big hole, there are no obsidian scarabs in it, there are only golem puppet production lines that are being disassembled and assembled, obviously the other party is replenishing the golem that they lost in the battle with Chen Yue on the ground.
Seeing this situation, Chen Yue immediately understood that this was an excellent fighter, and decisively jumped into the hole.
The entrance of the cave was more than fifty meters high from the basement floor, but this did not affect Chen Yue and them in the slightest, and Chen Yue even stood straight in the basement floor of the Mage Tower like a sword.
Although the alarm system of the Mage Tower had already been turned on, it was too late to mobilize troops to come over, and Chen Yue and the others only encountered sporadic resistance and occupied the entire underground floor.
The basement floor belongs to the arsenal of the Mage Tower, which has dozens of production lines of various sizes, but only a few are still in operation due to disrepair.
Chen Yue didn't care about these production lines, and led the team straight to the entrance of the second basement floor.
At this time, Anubrekan and the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse were late, and when they raided into the basement layer, what they saw was not the enemy's army, but Chen Yue and them.
"Master, we are not a surprise attack, aren't you feints?" Anubrekan was confused, it had just led the spider demons to dig through the steel plate connecting the basement floor, and originally thought that it would be a fierce battle to greet them, but they didn't expect to see Chen Yue and them.
"Anubrekan, don't worry about these details, we will attack the three underground floors at a rapid speed before the enemy comes to his senses." Chen Yue smiled awkwardly.
The feint attack turned into a frontal attack Chen Yue must be mainly responsible, but as the master of Naxxramas, no one dares to accuse him, so he can only accompany him all the way to the dark.
However, the change in plans was undoubtedly benign, allowing them to occupy the basement three floors of the Mage Tower more quickly.
After gathering Anubrekan and them, the guards of the population on the second underground floor could not stop Chen Yue and them at all, and they were instantly broken, allowing them to come to the arcane laboratory on the second underground floor.
Whether it was a golem or an obsidian scarab, they were not Chen Yue's enemies until they formed a scale, and although the energy beam of the crystal skeleton was powerful, it could not penetrate Anubrekan's carapace.
Using Anubrekan as a cover, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse quickly approached the Crystal Skull, and with their skeletal horses, they were extremely fast, rushing into the Crystal Skull like a wolf into a flock of sheep, harvesting these special undead creatures with fragile bodies.
The area of the second basement floor, near the third basement floor, is the core of the entire arcane laboratory, and even if it becomes dilapidated, it can be seen that this is a delicate building that far surpasses the rest of the area.
The area is covered with tall columns, and there are prison-like rooms, some of which have collapsed, but others that are still in good condition.
From here on, Chen Yue's resistance became greater and greater, and the golem puppets encountered on the ground also appeared in large numbers, and compared to the golem puppets on the ground, these golem puppets were undoubtedly very well preserved, most of them did not lose energy weapons, and the power of these energy cannons was much more powerful than the energy attack of the crystal skeleton.
There are also a large number of obsidian scarabs and crystal skeletons gathered here, and even the diamond golem has several, which can be said to be the most heavily defended place.
Chen Yue's arrival alarmed countless guards, and in some tall buildings deeper, there was a smell like the burning of sulfur, as well as a terrifying aura that made the soul tremble.
"Demons?" Chen Yue frowned, and said in a deep voice: "You can feel the aura of demons from afar, obviously these demons are of a very high level, but they have been imprisoned by the Arcanist until now, and there is definitely not much strength left." ”
During the Arcane Empire, many Arcanists relied on the ability of the Floating Island to expedition to the Endless Abyss Plane where the demons were located, and even several layers of the Abyss were occupied by the Arcane Empire.
Although it was later recaptured by the demon lords, it could not hide the fact that the demon was defeated by the Arcane Empire.
Many demons became the object of study by the arcanists, and in order to find out the reason for the demons' long lifespan, a large number of demons died due to various experiments, and that time was arguably the most humiliating time for the demons, and the hatred for the Arcane Empire even exceeded that of the gods of the heavenly realm.
In fact, if it weren't for the chaotic nature of the demons that had kept them fighting on their own, with the Endless Abyss' tidal demon army, the Arcane Empire would not have dared to attack the Endless Abyss even if it had the audacity.
These demons that Chen Yue felt were the research objects captured by the arcanists at that time, and after so many years, the demons with strong vitality did not die, but became extremely weak.
But even so, these demons are extremely difficult characters for other adventurers to deal with, and one is not careful and can be life-threatening.
Chen Yue and the others are naturally not ordinary people, they are not surprised by the demons, and they even want to study the difference between the demons of this world and the demons of the Burning Legion in Azeroth, so they almost don't take each other seriously.
Kel'thugad also understood that there might really be nothing in the entire mage tower that could really threaten them, and from his perception, he came to a conclusion that these were most likely demons at the bottom of the box, and if they really had to deal with it, it was actually not that difficult.
