Chapter 19: The Great Crisis of the Temple of Doom
A large group of adventurers in delicate armor rode through the mountains on a variety of mighty mounts.
Their whole bodies exude a fierce momentum, and they are powerful guys at first glance. There were about thirty of them, each armed with a fierce mount, agile, and each with a blood-red dragon head emblazoned on his cape...
It seems that they are all from one guild.
"It's a shame that Lord Gillian actually quit the guild." One of the members of the team sighed as he galloped on his mount.
"Yes, he's such a nice person, but... Her brother's thing is just so hateful! I really want to kill that abominable Baal for Mistress Gillian!! ”
"It's too late, Lord Gillian has already taken a thousand adventurers to attack Baal's Temple of Doom, presumably she has already arrived there and started the battle against Baal."
"What! Actually, I want to help her..."
"Well, I can't help it. Now we have to deal with Zuo Yi first, and this time we finally found his whereabouts, and we can't let him run away again. ”
"That's right, let's get rid of him quickly, and then rush over to help Mistress Gillian!"
The adventurers in the group chattered, and then quickened their pace.
At this time, they did not notice that in the distance, a black figure was quietly following them.
Baal flew low, watching the group of adventurers from afar. Although his ears were unusually sensitive, he couldn't hear their discussion at all from such a distance, and with the constant sound of the wind whirring in his ears.
It's already sunset and dusk.
The twilight had piled up on the horizon, and was gradually spreading around, and the depths of the jungle and the valley were already dim and blurred.
Baal followed the group of adventurers to a stone forest area.
Once here, their speed immediately slowed down, and they moved lightly and cautiously, trying to be as quiet as possible. After a few more advances, their movements had completely turned into tiptoe, and they were extremely quiet. It seems that they are very close to their destination.
Sure enough, after a few moments, a gray figure gently stepped out from behind a boulder and met them.
"He's over there." The figure whispered.
After listening to the man's words, the group of adventurers immediately began to conceal their whereabouts, and continued to approach very cautiously, and hid behind the boulder, looking through the gap...
Then, in the distance, they saw the target of the operation...
An emaciated figure was sitting beside a vigorous fire, roasting food. Behind his back, he carried two long, thin wild swords, and all his limbs were covered with iron chains, but each iron blade had only short iron chains, all of which were separated from each other, as if the shackles that had locked his limbs before had been cut but not removed... It looks weird.
Baal, who was hiding in the distance, also saw the emaciated sound figure, and that guy was probably the dark ghost warrior Zuo Yi.
He had a knife-like cheek, and beneath his sword eyebrows were a pair of weather-beaten eyes. Looking at his lonely appearance, Barr could guess that he had probably been through a lot of hardships.
The group of adventurers whispered to each other, "We're keeping an eye on him here, and when President Leo arrives with a large army, we can destroy him in one fell swoop." ”
At this time, although Baal did not hear the voice of the group of adventurers, he had already guessed something.
He smiled coldly, picked up a slightly larger stone, and, with a snort, threw it in the direction of the group of adventurers...
***
The sky was gray, and Isbella took Umba, Buu, and their men on the way back.
The minotaurs didn't have much to pack, so they only cleaned up in their lair for a short time before embarking on the move.
Umba and Buu were very happy, not only did they clear up their misunderstandings with each other and their relationship was as good as ever, but they also knew the strongest meaning of their teacher. Although it is not a very pleasant thing to be Barr's subordinate, Barli is extremely powerful and fully qualified to be their boss, so they have nothing to complain about.
Moreover, the relationship between their brothers was also restored because of Barr's indirect reasons, and the strongest mystery was also reminded by Barr, for whom they were grateful, although they did not say it, they almost willingly became Barr's subordinates.
The minotaurs under their command have nothing to complain about, they have a big house to live in in the future, and they don't have to sleep in the open anymore, and it's too late for them to be happy, their former enemies have become friends, and they are in the same boat as the mighty Barr, which is simply gratifying...
"Hey, Brother Umba, we'll have a big toast when we get to the Temple of Doom later!" Buu said in a bold voice.
Um Bale replied, "Of course, we have to get drunk and have a good time!" ”
On the way, Umba and Buu chatted with me sentence by sentence, and the relationship was very good.
Seeing them like this, Isbella's heart was also very happy. At least, they were willing to be Barr's men.
In order to get into the big house early, and it was getting late, the minotaurs were moving fast all the way.
After some time, they finally came to the Temple of Doom.
At this time, the Temple of Doom is in the quiet of the night, full of mysterious beauty.
Looking at the magnificent mansion, Umbaha laughed, "Ha Luha, what a big house!" ”
The minotaurs were smiling, no one liked to live in a dirty, damp and cold place, and they were of course happy to see such a luxurious "villa" as the Temple of Doom.
Isbella led the minotaurs to the plaza in front of the Temple of Doom.
At this moment, the bright moonlight shone down like flowing water, and the brazier burned all around, and the place was very bright.
"Guys, please come in!" Isbella said politely with a smile.
"Uh-huh!"
The minotaurs shouted and ran in excitedly, but suddenly...
Whoa... Arrows are flying...
"Wow..."
The minotaurs who rushed to the front were instantly shot into hedgehogs and killed on the spot!
The minotaurs were all frightened and hurriedly took up their weapons and prepared for battle...
There was movement in all directions of the square, dense footsteps approaching them quickly, and the shouts of adventurers everywhere...
Esbella immediately lost her face... They, surrounded!!
Umba and Buu roared angrily, immediately took out their weapons, and stared at the group of adventurers who quickly surrounded them.
About a thousand adventurers surrounded the minotaurs like a flood, armed with weapons of all sorts and well-armoured, and murderous. Moreover, each of them seemed to be carefully selected, and their faces were not flustered at all, full of perseverance and confidence.
And although the number of those minotaurs is also as high as a thousand, each of them only knows how to roar and scream, just from the surface, you can know that their combat power is not at all the same as those adventurers.
Seeing that his brother, who had been alive a moment before, was now lying in a pool of blood, Umba, Buu, and all the minotaurs roared.
But those adventurers were not moved at all, they were all calm and confident, standing in place like mountain peaks, as if they had a strong support in their hearts. They surrounded the minotaurs, but they were slow to attack.
At this moment, from the main hall of the Temple of Doom, came a slender woman, wearing silver armor all over her body, holding a shield in her left hand and a scepter in her right, and her beautiful face was full of anger.
Standing on the high staircase directly in front of the plaza, Gillian stared down at the monsters below. Her brow furrowed, her face tense, and she exclaimed, "Where's Baal?" Her voice was full of anger and hatred, and there seemed to be a fire burning in her star-like eyes...
