Chapter 11: The Choice of Life and Death
Seeing the talking frog in front of them, everyone was stunned all of a sudden.
Of course, it's not all unresponsive, almost everyone makes an attack posture, there is no way, everyone's nerves are nervous in this ghost place with black lights and blind fire.
However, Xing Tianyu suddenly stopped everyone's movements.
"Witch doctor?" He asked tentatively, and although the frog's voice was a little weird, it was a bit like that of a witch doctor.
"Who else but me!"
As he spoke, the frog suddenly bulged up like a balloon, instantly changing from the size of a fist to more than a meter high, and a pair of eyes the size of a light bulb looked at everyone.
"How did you become a frog?" Xing Tianyu asked in surprise.
"Of course, in order to save my life, the life characteristics of humans are essentially different from the life characteristics of frogs, and because of this, I can effectively evade the pursuit of essentia monsters after becoming a frog."
"But that's not the point, the point is that I told you not to come, why did you still run here to die?"
The witch doctor's tone of reproach immediately made everyone a little dissatisfied.
"We're here to save you, you bastard, you even say such unconscionable things!" Lucifer shouted.
Xing Tianyu raised his hand, motioning for him to be quiet, and then said to the witch doctor, "We must determine the life and death of the elders, just in case your memories are used against the Summoner Council. ”
The witch doctor sneered when he heard this reason, "I guess this idea must have been told to you by the old immortals of the Underworld Council." ”
"Well, yes," Xing Tianyu said, "I wouldn't have come here to take risks if it weren't for their request." ”
Who knew that the witch doctor was angry when he heard this, "That's because they want to support their own people to come to power, stupid, that's why they forced you to come and take risks, you don't want to think about it, if our memory is really a serious threat, do you think you have time to stop it after so many days?" ”
"You must know that Zeus knelt on the first day after being summoned here, he is the speaker, if the Nightmare King can really read the memory, I am afraid that the information on the summoner's island has already leaked."
Xing Tianyu did it, but he secretly called Nima in his heart, and there was this kind of operation. "So you mean. The Council of the Underworld wants to trap us? ”
The frog witch doctor shook his head: "Of course, I can't say that, it's just that they deliberately assigned you a task that is more difficult than that, but I didn't expect you to actually accept this task." ”
"The current situation is that if you can find our elders, it will be good, which proves that their plan is correct, but if you can't find it back, you are also hanging here, and they just want to support their own people to come to power, those gray-robed summoners have been on the summoner's island for decades, do you think they are really dedicated to serving the organization? It's not that they want to stay up to the top of their own ranks, most of these gray-robed summoners have some connections with the Underworld Council, and each has its own backstage, and it is estimated that they are already discussing how to get on the throne. ”
"Don't worry about this, I've arranged for two of my people to be the new elders." Xing Tianyu gave a general introduction to the previous matter, but the frog witch doctor nodded, "You have a bit of a brain." ”
"Okay, so what now?"
"Of course I'm leaving this hellish place, but there's one more person you can save before you leave, Feathered Serpent she's nearby, come on, I'll take you to her."
The frog witch doctor said, turned around and began to move forward in the darkness in front of him, Xing Tianyu and the others hurriedly followed.
"So the feathered serpent survived? What has become of her again? ”
"She has been turned into a stone statue, cursed by Medusa to be exact, and we must do so in order to avoid being pursued by the Essentia."
"Listen to your tone, you're scared of essentia too?"
The witch doctor didn't deny it, "Of course I'm afraid, essentia monsters are essentia creatures summoned by the Nightmare King from the primordial world, which can convert any matter into source biomass and integrate it into their bodies, and since they themselves are made of essentia, no energy weapon can cause substantial damage to them, although physical attacks can destroy their physical appearance, they can't really kill them, I still haven't figured out how to kill them, my modified biochemical beasts, They all killed and absorbed, and I don't want to be their nourishment. ”
"Here it is." As they spoke, the group entered a remote corridor, and at the end of the corridor was a side hall like a storehouse, and in the corner of the side hall, a stone statue appeared in front of everyone's eyes, and it looked like a feathered serpent.
"Do you have any phoenix tears fairy goddess water or something, my body has been destroyed, and now I can only possess the frog, so my treasures are all gone."
"There are no phoenix tears, but there is a lot of activated blood."
Xing Tianyu said, and directly took out a bottle of activated blood and poured it on it.
I saw that the surface of the stone statue absorbed the activated blood in the blink of an eye, and soon gradually came back to life.
"Oh shit, what's going on!" Feathered Serpent grumbled as he moved his body, "Huh, Shadow? Lucifer? Franken? How did you guys get here. ”
The witch doctor said, "I don't have time to explain, now that the people have received it, let's retreat quickly, how did you come here?" ”
Xing Tianyu said: "What about Zeus and Odin?" ”
"Zeus is definitely hopeless, it is estimated that he has long become a puppet of the Nightmare King, and finding him can only be a big battle. As for Odin, God knows where he is hiding, we don't need to put everyone in danger for his sake, and getting out of here is the right way to go. ”
Xing Tianyu listened to the witch doctor's words, and couldn't help but hesitate for a moment, now he has found five elders, although one is occupied, one is dead and turned into a ghost, and one has become a frog, only Aurora and Feathered Serpent are still alive.
But after all, their whereabouts have been determined, and most of the tasks have been completed.
As for Zeus, judging from all the information, it should indeed be hopeless, and although Odin is saved, it is not his character to let him take risks for the sake of an elder, and he has not dealt with Odin much before.
Thinking of this, Xing Tianyu nodded, "You're right, then let's retreat." When we get back, we'll organize an army to come over to deal with the Nightmare King, and hopefully Odin won't be dead by then. ”
As he spoke, he was about to retreat with the crowd, when suddenly a voice came out.
[After some adventure, Shadow finally decided to retreat, but was it really as simple as he thought?] Obviously impossible.
From the moment they walked into the Psionic Teleportation Array, this journey was destined to write an end to his adventure, whether it was comedy or tragedy, and this adventure was destined to never end until the story ended.
Soon, an accident will bring to naught the plan that would lead him to retreat.]
Xing Tianyu was shocked when he heard this, and said in his heart why did this narrator come out like this at this time.
"Hey, don't mess around, your life is at stake, big brother." He was also in a hurry, and he was always unsure about the matter of arguing with the Nightmare King, let alone what kind of source monster there was.
However, it was obvious that his request could not be satisfied, and the voice of the narrator sounded again.
[Shadow suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart, and he prayed in his heart that this premonition would not be fulfilled, but fate was not so easy to reverse, and soon a fatal crisis would plunge the expedition team into a desperate situation]
When everyone heard this, their hearts tightened, and they looked around vigilantly, but there was silence all around.
After a long time, it was the witch doctor who spoke first, "Hey, what's going on with that voice?" ”
Xing Tianyu opened his mouth and was about to explain, but at this time, the communication magic crystal in Xing Tianyu's hand suddenly sounded the voice of Tianyan.
"Captain, are you still there?"
Although Tianyan's voice was very calm, but for some reason, Xing Tianyu had a hint of foreboding.
"I'm here, what's wrong?"
"I think we're in trouble, the Source Monsters have found us, they're right outside the door right now, attacking the Psionic Guardians."
Xing Tianyu didn't worry much about the safety of Tianyan and the others, the material of the wall was so hard, it was no problem to think about it, and Tianyan's voice was very calm, it didn't sound like he was very nervous, but he still asked, "Are you okay?" That gate should be able to be guarded. ”
"I'm afraid not, these primordial monsters seem to be able to dissolve any matter into a part of themselves, even the materials of the gate can't stop them, and the psionic guardians are no match for them at all."
What the!? Xing Tianyu couldn't help but be taken aback, he had personally experienced the hardness of that wall, and now he heard that the source monster could even disintegrate that thing, how could he not be surprised, it seemed that this source monster was really difficult to deal with.
Aurora's frightened voice rang out in the crystal, "Hey, is it the Shadows?" Hurry up and save us, we're all wounded here, and we'll be dead if they rush in! I can't use the Phase Crystal again! If they rush in, I'm going to die. ”
"I'd rather die like that." The voice of the sleepless rang out.
Then came the voice of the Eye of the Sky, "Useless Elder Aurora, it's too late for them to come back to save us. ”
"What are you kidding, I managed to escape from the Nightmare King, I don't want to die! Didn't you say you could see through fate, didn't you say it was safe to hide here? Why did those essentia monsters find here? “
"But fate itself is fickle, but don't worry, things are still there and turning, maybe when it's all over, we still have a chance to leave alive, I don't know how it will be done, but my eyes can still see hope."
"Captain, leave us alone, go as you want, I've activated all the psionic defenders and psionic golem warriors, although they can't kill the source monsters, they should be able to delay some time, whether it's escaping or moving on, you must speed up."
"Damn, they're in, eat the old lady's psionic impact!" Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
"Hey, those guys inside me, if you don't want to die, get me moving!"
Loud voices rang out in the communication crystals, there were psionic explosions, there were strange whistling sounds, there were human screams, but soon, everything was calm, there was silence in the crystal, and just when everyone thought that the matter was over, a very strange human breathing sounded, the sound lasted only a few seconds, and then it was completely calm.
"Damn! That's terrible. Lucifer exclaimed. Let's find a way to escape. ”
Francon said, "Run, run, on our way back, we'll pass through a place controlled by essentia, and they're probably coming towards us right now, so wouldn't it be a death to go back." ”
Sylvia looked at Xing Tianyu with an expression that I support you in whatever decision you make.
The others also looked at Xing Tianyu.
It was the first time for Xing Tianyu to feel such a huge pressure, he was now the captain and the speaker, and he was the main combat strength of this team, it can be said that his decision would determine the life and death of the entire team, including himself, and it was to quickly retreat and fight a bloody way out of the blockade of the source monsters.
Or move on, and fight to the death with the Nightmare King, no matter which choice is very dangerous, but he must make a decision, Tianyan is right, he must be fast.
At this time, Narrator's voice came out again.
[There was a burst of despair in Shadow's heart, he could feel that the way back had been completely blocked, and those prima monsters had cut off their retreat, and they didn't know which passages to outflank them.
The only hope of survival now is to find the Nightmare King, kill him, and kill the Nightmare King to put an end to this. 】
Kill the Nightmare King, hehe, that's what you think, do you just want to watch us fight the Nightmare King?
Xing Tianyu thought that he didn't say it, because he knew that this was a meaningless act, no matter what he said, Narrator Jun would not talk directly to him.
It said that the way back had been cut off, and according to the narrator's consistent style, it was really eight or nine.
But Narrator-Jun likes to watch the excitement so much, since he can't hide from it, then just take advantage of it.
"Guys, I think our only chance now is to take out the Nightmare King, those Essentia Monsters don't seem to be able to pay at all from your description, but I doubt that we are the Nightmare King's opponents, do you think we should move forward and fight the Nightmare King, or fight our way out of the Essentia Monsters?"
"If you want to attack the Nightmare King, you must find the place where its true body is, and since prophecy and insight are completely ineffective here, I am afraid it will be difficult to do so. ”
[Sylvia asks a very real question, that is, how to find the location of the Nightmare King, in fact, what everyone does not know is that the Nightmare King is a thousand meters below their feet. 】
A thousand meters? Xing Tianyu looked at the ground under his feet, it was really simple enough.
He glanced at Sylvia, "Baby, can you get us there?" “
"Of course, it's a piece of cake." 2.
