Chapter 630: Zeus's Altar
In the center of Cyprus is a huge temple with two huge open-air altars in the granite-paved square in front of the temple, one of which stands a statue of Zeus ten meters high and holding a scepter. And the statue of the deity on the other altar is eight meters high, with a majestic face and a trident in his hand, which is none other than Poseidon, the god of the sea.
It is said that after nine consecutive years of drought, a prophet in Cyprus announced a cruel oracle that only a sacrifice to Zeus each year would make the land fertile. In gratitude for the oracle he had spoken, King Posiles killed him as the first sacrifice.
Later, the barbarous king became interested in this brutal annual ritual, and he was no longer limited to killing a foreigner every year, but would be killed by him whenever a foreigner arrived in Cyprus.
All indigenous foreigners are targeted by Cypriots, with the exception of Inhumans, who are free to roam in Cyprus. However, the clever King Posilles issued a mission to the Inhumans, who could participate in the capture of other Inhumans and receive the king's reward if they were caught, while the captured ones would be killed as sacrifices to Zeus.
There were far more Inhumans than natives who came to Cyprus, and after issuing a mission to the Inhumans, King Posilles found that he had captured a lot more sacrifices. Therefore, King Poselles was happy to issue a mission to the Inhumans, and today suddenly twenty-eight Inhumans came, and all of these twenty-eight Inhumans received the task of capturing the Outlanders.
The twenty-eight Inhumans were all mid-rank gods and were very strong, and they were willing to come to serve him, and King Poselles was very happy. Therefore, all of these twenty-eight Inhumans were given the opportunity to capture the strangers.
The joy of King Posilles did not last long, and soon his guards reported to him that several strangers had come to the gates of the city, and one of them was tall and majestic, and was suitable to be a sacrifice to the god-king Zeus. It's just that. The native was protected by seven powerful Inhumans, and the Cypriot Guards were unable to capture the strong native despite the numerous deaths.
King Posilles was furious, and the Inhumans liked to attack each other. But the aborigines were generally captured by his guards. Hearing that the guards suffered heavy losses, he decided to go out in person, although the king was not strong in combat, but he had the blue crystal given by the sea god in his hand, and he was able to capture all the enemies below the main god.
When the king of Cyprus went to capture the strong natives, the twenty-eight Inhumans who had come to him to receive the task gathered in the temple square. It was King Arthur and his entourage, they didn't have to do a task, they didn't have to go all the way to Cyprus like Lu Xiaoqi and the others, they directly used the teleportation array from Athens City to the center of Cyprus City.
After receiving the quest, twenty-eight Tier 5 players were able to find out the location of the villagers outside the city of Cyprus, and they knew that Hercules and Mad Dog were at the city gate. However, King Arthur did not rush over with a fifth-order player. Having studied the legend of Hercules, he knew that Lu Xiaoqi and the others would definitely appear on the Zeus altar, so he decided to set a trap at the altar.
Twenty-eight players were ambushed at the altar, and after advancing to the fifth level to open the realm. As long as they don't turn on their sixth sense to detect others, they can hide in the crowd of NPCs near the altar to prevent detection by other Inhumans.
The king of Cyprus, Posilles, returned triumphantly, and when he came to the altar of Zeus, he released Hercules. However, Hercules was not freed after he was released, and the gold-armored guards who had been prepared long ago, under the command of the priest, tied Hercules with strong ropes and carried him to the altar, and they wanted to cut off Hercules' head to sacrifice to Zeus.
After Hercules was captured, the guards besieging Lu Xiaoqi also retreated. Lu Xiaoqi received a system prompt: "Player Mad Dog, since Hercules was captured and taken to the altar, you need to go to the altar to help him fight, if Hercules is harmed, the golden apple mission you participated in will fail." ”
Lu Xiaoqi and Red Rose flew to the altar in the middle of the city, and they were suspended in the air. Watching Hercules be bound and escorted to the stage. Lu Xiaoqi didn't know if Hercules would break free from the shackles with his own strength like in the myth, he didn't dare to be careless, as long as Hercules couldn't break free, he would immediately fly out of the spirit tooth water and fire blade to kill the executioner.
After Hercules ascended the altar, the eyes of the god Zeus suddenly shot out two golden rays, and after the golden light fell on Hercules, the rope that bound him broke inch by inch, and Hercules regained his freedom.
After freeing himself from his restraints, Hercules let out a loud roar, and he rushed to King Posiles and beat him into meat sauce with a single punch.
After killing Posiles, Hercules killed the son of Posiles, as well as the priest who presided over the sacrifice. At this moment, the gold-armored guards who were in charge of protecting King Posiles also reflected, and twenty gold-armored guards surrounded Hercules and launched an attack on Hercules.
The twenty Golden Armor Guards are all mini-bosses, and their attacks and defenses are very strong, and Hercules' qi and blood are constantly decreasing. Seeing this situation, Lu Xiaoqi decisively rushed forward with the Red Rose and his party and began to fight with the Golden Armor Guard.
The Golden Armor Guards are dressed in glittering gold armor all over their bodies, and their heads are also wrapped in gold armor, and their physical defense is high. With swords in their hands, they formed a special battle formation, and they kept slashing, and Hercules retreated. After Lu Xiaoqi and a few people joined, Hercules was a little more relaxed.
The Golden Armor Guards are all melee monsters, and they attack with lethal consequences, so they are not careless at all. Moreover, these gold-armored guards cooperated tacitly, they continued to oppress, Lu Xiaoqi and Oliver's speed advantage could not be brought into play, and they were trapped in a small circle.
Dealing with this melee machine, Guoguo's Flame Thorn Domain played a big role, and the Flame Thorn delayed the attack frequency of the Golden Armor Guard, allowing the group to barely block the Golden Armor Guard's attack.
The defense of the Golden Armor Guardian is very high, and although the Mean Wolf and Oliver can break the defense, they cannot cause much damage to the Golden Armor Guard. Lu Xiaoqi was ineffective against him because of the high physical destruction of the Spirit Tooth Water and Fire Blade, so he became the main force of attack again.
It was not Lu Xiaoqi who caused the most damage to the Golden Armor Guard, but the White Crow, and after advancing to the fifth order, the White Crow had a few new group attack methods. Before the fifth order, after the White Crow's Fire Dao Method was cast, it could not control the flames, and could only cover the attack in groups. The fifth-order spiritual sense is fully awakened, and after she casts the fire system method to release the flames, she can also use the spiritual sense to control the flames for precise burning, causing more damage to the enemy.
The fifth-order elite mini-boss couldn't cause much trouble to Lu Xiaoqi and the others, and they were constantly killed under their attacks. Just as Lu Xiaoqi and the others were struggling to fight against the Golden Armor Guard, the twenty-eight fifth-order players who were ambushed in the surrounding aboriginal crowd began to act, and they gradually approached the altar from all directions.
Because these twenty-eight people received the task of capturing outsiders, they would not be attacked by the aborigines, so they hid very well, and Lu Xiaoqi did not find out at all.
After killing a golden armor guard with two swords, Lu Xiaoqi's spiritual sense suddenly sensed that there was a strong energy fluctuation in the space, and the power of life covered the entire altar. The Golden Armor Guard's Sharp Gold Realm is a destructive realm that has absolutely nothing to do with this life energy, which means that there are other enemies near the altar.
At first, Lu Xiaoqi thought it was a priest near the altar of Cyprus, but when the breath of life became stronger and stronger, and countless vines came out of the marble floor, Lu Xiaoqi couldn't help but change his face. Lu Xiaoqi is no stranger to this scene, once when he was doing the task of saving the giants, the divine skill "Praise of Life" performed by the Titan God believer Dai Lin Barbara.
There were six Golden Armor Guards left, and as loyal guards of the king, they attacked wildly. Therefore, Lu Xiaoqi didn't have time to stop Dai Lin Barbara from launching the salute of life, he expected to fall into the enemy's ambush circle, since it was too late to stop the other party's divine skill, it was only right to solve the threat of the Golden Armor Guardian first.
After Dai Lin Barbara advanced to the fifth order, she opened the Life Source Domain, and the coverage of the Life Source Domain gathered a strong life force. In the Land of the Dead, she was still able to rely on the life force stored in the staff to unleash the salute of life, and it was still very powerful. At this time, without the interference of the aura of death on the earth, within the coverage of her own life realm, the divine skill of life praise can produce greater power.
After countless plants emerged from the ground, the crazy peasants also activated the magic skills of the god of agriculture, and all kinds of plants began to grow wildly, and soon covered the entire altar. Lu Xiaoqi and his party were completely shrouded in the green world, and King Arthur and others also entered the green world at this time.
The Golden Armor Guards have all been wiped out, and after King Arthur and the others entered the green world and did not mix with the NPCs in Cyprus, Lu Xiaoqi's spiritual sense quickly detected them.
Twenty-eight fifth-order players surprised Lu Xiaoqi, when there were very few fifth-order players, someone could unite twenty-eight fifth-order players to deal with him, who had so much energy?
The power of the green world Lu Xiaoqi had seen that the green world could take shape at that time, and it had a lot to do with Albara's time magic technique. This time, because it was on the earth, and Dai Lin Barbara advanced to the fifth order, she created this world just by relying on Dai Lin Barbara and the crazy peasants.
In the green world, all plants will obey the command of Dai Lin Barbara, and these plants have also reached the fifth order. Albarbara, who is in the green world, seems to be the commander of the green army, and can arbitrarily manipulate green plants to attack Lu Xiaoqi and others. (To be continued......)
