Chapter 11: Single-brush dungeon: Castle of Shadows
Xing Tianyu walked towards the front, constantly throwing out flashbangs as he walked. He was very well prepared for this operation, his magic pocket was full of munitions, and he bought several large boxes of flashbangs alone. Throwing it all the way is simply invincible.
Soon he came to the entrance of the ancient castle and took out the crystal ball full of spirits, and Xing Tianyu directly released these spirits.
These weak spirits basically have no combat power, although they can barely be regarded as 'ghosts', but they are not a threat even in the face of ordinary people, but they are very useful for exploring the way.
This crystal ball is connected to these spirits, and it is very convenient to constantly switch the perspective of each spirit.
Let these spirits act separately and reconnoiter the terrain, Xing Tianyu took the crystal ball and walked towards the ancient castle.
In this way, there was no danger of getting lost, and soon he went deep into the castle, and came to an empty hall, and there was a faint sound of footsteps around him. Xing Tianyu smiled slightly, and said in his heart that he finally couldn't help it? He threw out another flashbang, but this time, no screams came out, and in the darkness, he could clearly see seven or eight figures standing around him, they didn't use the shadow of the cover or sneak in the dark, but they each held a submachine gun in their hands. Standing in front of Xing Tianyu was a middle-aged man with a gloomy face, judging from his outfit, he should be a high-level priest like Victor, and he should be regarded as a small boss.
"Who the hell are you, intruder? Why we were able to find our headquarters. ”
Xing Tianyu smiled slightly, "Who am I?" Hmph, it's not important, what matters is what I'm here for. ”
"So what are you here for?"
"Of course, it is to eradicate you, a cult that mainly worships otherworldly creatures, you scum among the human race, for a little ridiculous power, and believe in otherworldly creatures, it is simply a shame for mankind, and you are completely unqualified to live in this world."
These words caused a commotion, but the middle-aged man shouted, "It's all quiet!" He looked at Xing Tianyu coldly, "Ridiculous mortal, you don't know what you're talking about, the power of our great master is beyond your imagination, and soon you will regret what you did." ”
"Come on, isn't that the Lord of Darkness? When I fought the Nightmare King, I summoned him to help him fight, and guess what? Before it was five minutes, that guy was banished by someone else's banishment technique, it was a waste of my feelings, I thought it was awesome, I believe in such a waste, I think you are also a bunch of brain-dead. ”
The middle-aged man yelled, "This can't be! You're lying! How dare you blaspheme the great Lord of Darkness, Lord of the Shadows, you-"
"Ha, look at the one that stimulated you." Xing Tianyu laughed, then shook his head and sighed, "It may be that for you, summoning the Lord of Darkness is your lifelong pursuit, and it is a vision that you can't reach, but for me, summoning otherworldly creatures and making them serve me is just a part of daily life. This is your biggest shortcoming, you don't know much about the Otherworld, and you don't know much about it, and you think that you can benefit by worshipping them as gods, but in fact, the Otherworldly creatures are just a bunch of monsters that have been driven out of this world by humans. If you can control them and enslave them, why worship them? ”
His words made those cultists look at each other, some of them were incredulous, and they seemed to be a little shocked by Xing Tianyu's tone, controlling the Dark Lord or something, they probably didn't dare to think about it.
Xing Tianyu shook his head, "But it doesn't make any sense to say so much." Because today you will all die here. ”
These words calmed down the cultists, and the middle-aged man sneered, "Hmph, intruder, I don't know what you rely on to make you speak so wildly, but you will definitely die today!" Eternal darkness is bound to come to this world, and my master has foreseen all this, kill him! ”
The gunshots rang out, and the bullets strafed intensively, and the fire from the muzzle of the gun flashed one after another, making these cultists who were accustomed to darkness lose their vision for a while. They instinctively pulled the trigger on the vague figure until they ran out of bullets, and everyone rubbed their eyes to find that the figure had not moved at all, his body was shrouded in a golden shield, unharmed.
"Is this the end? By bullets and firearms? Aren't you even going to use shadow magic against me? A flashbang is more than you give up this biggest killing move, tsk, you disappoint me so much, it seems that shadow magic has no future after all. ”
Those cultists can't say what they are suffering from, although the shadow magic is unpredictable, but there is a fatal weakness that cannot be avoided, that is, they are afraid of light, and the shadow energy that constitutes the shadow magic will be neutralized by the light, no matter how powerful the shadow magic, it will be stopped when it is hit by a flashbang.
When they secretly followed Xie Tianyu to move just now, they were accidentally injured by flashbangs, and even the shadow creatures they cultivated were also killed and injured a lot, which would know that the shadow magic would not work, so they naturally refused to expose their shortcomings to avoid backlash.
"Aren't you going to do it? Then it's my turn! Xing Tianyu quickly condensed the spiritual energy in his body, his body slowly floated into the air, and the power of spiritual energy flashed around him, and those cultists around him suddenly felt bad when they saw it, and some of them were even planning to escape. However, before they could react, the power of the psionic energy had already spread in all directions.
Psionic Storm!
The cultists were all enveloped in an instant, and they fell down in convulsions under the electric shock of psionic lightning.
This trick is really tried and tested, Xing Tianyu thought to himself, especially against these miscellaneous soldiers.
Of course, he wouldn't think that he would wipe out the other party with one move, the strength of the middle-aged man just now should be similar to the original Victor, it is estimated that he is just a high-level leader, and the real sect leader should not have shown up yet. He grabbed the middle-aged man on the ground, "Don't pretend to be dead, I'm very measured with my own actions." ”
The middle-aged man turned over, opened his mouth, and a black snake-like thing suddenly pierced out of his mouth, directly taking Xing Tianyu's brain. Xing Tianyu didn't dodge or dodge, the black snake-like shadow creature, as soon as it hit the surface of his body, it was convulsed back by the convulsions of the spiritual energy on his body.
Sure enough, it's still psionic magic, whether you're a shadow creature or a spirit creature or a creature in the real world, kill it all in one move.
"Don't waste your efforts, I know everything about your skills, tell me, where is your sect leader, I can make your death happy."
"I would never say." The middle-aged man said resolutely.
Xing Tianyu said in his heart that it was really troublesome, "Soul Eye." His eyes widened, and the middle-aged man's eyes suddenly became confused.
"Can you tell me where your sect leader is now?"
The middle-aged man's face showed a look of struggle, it seemed that due to his relatively strong mental power, he was more or less resistant to Xing Tianyu's soul dementor eye, but it was useless, and he soon gave in.
"He... He was ... He is below us ... The entrance to the secret passage... The statue of the god. The middle-aged man said intermittently, and as soon as Xing Tianyu turned around, he saw that in the corner of the wall, there was indeed a statue of a god with a strange shape. He glanced a little, and saw that there seemed to be something strange about the idol's arm, and with a slight pull of it, it revealed a spiral of stairs that swirled downward. "Heh, it's pretty exquisite." He pulled out his pistol and shot the middle-aged man, then walked down the stairs.
I don't know how deep the stairs are, but it took a few minutes to reach the bottom. Below was an incomparably empty huge karst cave, as soon as he entered the cave, Xing Tianyu felt that the surrounding darkness was unusually rich, and there was no trace of light. He raised the lantern in his hand and swept it around, the light seemed to be drowned in the thick darkness, and could only shine a few meters away.
Xing Tianyu immediately realized that he had come to the right place. He walked forward in the darkness, and not far away, the outline of an altar appeared before his eyes. A group of black-robed cultists were surrounding the altar, chanting strange prayers.
An old man in a gorgeous black robe sat on the altar.
Those people didn't seem to feel Xing Tianyu's entry, they were still chanting the incantation, Xing Tianyu was not in a hurry to move, so he looked at each other for a long time. Suddenly, darkness poured into the old man's mouth, eyes, nose, and ears like a tide, and his whole body slowly floated, his eyes as black as a black hole, faintly with a breathtaking suction.
"Child of Prophecy, you're finally here." The old man's voice was old and echoy, as if two voices were speaking at the same time.
"Oh? You know I'm coming? ”
"My master has foreseen all this, and you are the child of prophecy, and in the prophecy I see two pictures. Destruction or redemption, you will be our leader and lead us to glory, or you will fight us and die with us, one of the two is destined to happen. ”
Xing Tianyu said in his heart, nonsense, I definitely want to kill you, and I use prophecy or something to call Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu hates prophecy the most.
"Damn, I've been waiting for a long time, and you're going to make up these two sentences? Why do you cult followers love to engage in all this kind of godly chatter? Forget it, I guess that's how capable you are with your IQ. Here I can tell you in no uncertain terms that I have come to destroy you, utterly and utterly. The so-called power and glory in your mouth are not worth mentioning in my eyes, so don't talk nonsense with me. Come on, come on, come with me for three hundred rounds. ”
"Or if you stand still and let me kill you, I am doomed to destroy you anyway in your prophecy."
was ridiculed by Xing Tianyu like this, and the old man couldn't go on. "Stupid human, you have no idea what a great opportunity you have turned down. But if that's the case, then kill him as you wish! Lao Tzu waved the staff in his hand, but the cultists around him did not move. Xing Tianyu was stunned for a moment, and he felt that the darkness around him was pressed down like a mountain.
He said in his heart that the old man was not talking about those cultists, but some kind of shadow creature hidden in the darkness.
"Psionic vision." Xing Tianyu's eyes flashed, and the world in his eyes suddenly turned colorful, and under this kind of gaze, he could clearly see the energy composition of the world. Just look in the air that exudes a mysterious light, a huge black whirring shadow is rushing towards him with teeth and claws.
This black shadow was ten times larger than the one it had encountered in Nightsprings, like a black cloud, filling the sky over the entire cavern.
Such a powerful shadow creature. Xing Tianyu immediately realized that this should be the opponent's stunt at the bottom of the box, two flashbangs shot at the same time, and the brilliant flash did not stop the other party, but only slowed down the speed of the shadow slightly.
"Psionic Lightning." A bolt of lightning shot out and hit the shadow creature's body, and the psionic energy flashed across the surface of his body, outlining the massive form.
"Stupid human, see, this is the true power of darkness, such darkness is enough to swallow light, don't you still realize it?" The sect leader over there is still clamoring.
Xing Tianyu said in his heart, what is dragging, isn't it just relying on his huge size to offset part of the damage? You'd better cancel it off for me. He thought as he jerked out his psionic staff from his magic pocket and raised it violently.
This psionic staff is the one he built on the summoner's island at the beginning, and the head of the staff is a huge psionic crystal weighing two or three catties, and the golden psionic light emitted is simply blinding, like the sun. As soon as the staff was struck, it immediately dispelled the darkness in front of him, and the huge black shadow suddenly stopped its downward momentum, as if it was afraid of this force.
The sect leader over there was in a hurry.
"Kill him! In the name of the Lord of Darkness, I command you to kill him! ”
The shadow creature let out a frenzied afterlife, shaking the entire cavern and falling stones, it swirled, changing shapes, and suddenly rushed down from five different angles at the same time.
"Psionic Shield!" The light released by the staff in Xing Tianyu's hand formed a golden enchantment, with a diameter of about ten meters, and the golden light filled this space, and the huge shadow creature could not rush into this range at all, it frantically crashed around the shield, biting, and making a terrible sound.
The psionic shield was unbreakable, only slightly squeezed and shrunk.
Xing Tianyu continued to inject spiritual energy into the spiritual energy shield, but the shadow world creature quickly took the lead and couldn't move.
It spiraled and retreated into the darkness of the dome, as if it had been consumed and had a somewhat languishing feeling.
Xing Tianyu breathed a sigh of relief, and said in his heart, "Hahaha, tremble in front of real power!" Witness the power of the Psionic Infusion! ”
He condensed the spiritual energy in his body, and at the same time connected the power of the staff itself, and sent out a full blow, a golden spiritual energy ray the thickness of the bowl mouth, like a laser cannon. Pierced the huge shadow creatures directly.
Xing Tianyu shook his staff vigorously, and the golden pillar of light directly cut the shadow world creature in half.
Shot after shot, this staff was like a mini laser tower, with incredible firepower, until the shadow creatures were completely disintegrated in one go.
The sky was littered with bits and pieces of black patches, gradually disintegrating and blending, they were the remains of shadow creatures, and for a long time to come, this cave would be a place of intense dark power, but that was not his concern. He walked straight to the group of cultists, and after losing the last hole card, those cultists seemed to have lost their will, some fled in a hurry, and some fell to their knees, allowing Xing Tianyu to be slaughtered.
The old sect leader looked incredulous, "This, this can't be!" ”
Xing Tianyu didn't bother to ink with him, and directly shot his head, followed by a psionic lightning bolt, and then a fire of anger, which burned him to ashes.
