Volume 1 The Tower of Flesh Chapter 26 The Marauders

All the inhabitants of the Underground Kingdom began to riot. All kinds of cries of terror came one after another.

"Is there an earthquake?" Li Ben also felt uneasy.

He looked at the dome, where gravel of various sizes had begun to fall in some areas.

If it really collapses, it is very likely that I will really explain it here.

As he thought this, several loud roars erupted from all sides of the rock wall, and then the temperature of the entire underground world dropped sharply, and soon reached the freezing point.

"Crunch—"

The sound was accompanied by a cacophony of rubbing, and immediately all the monsters in the place felt dizzy. Lee, who had already had experience, knew that this was the effect of strong infrasound waves.

According to the earthquake evacuation guidelines, he should now find a small, sturdy place to hide. But from here to the underground passage to the Black Dragon's lair, no matter how fast Li Ben is, it will take a few minutes, and besides, can he really avoid the collapse of the underground world?

Then he saw a beam of light peeking through a crack in the rock.

After that, the dome of the entire underground world was violently overturned.

There was no more shelter on Li Ben's head, and the harsh sunlight shone down, allowing all the gloom to dissipate. The flames that burned were inconspicuous before the whitest light.

All the life in the underworld was so shocked that they couldn't make a sound, and the previous noise turned into a deathly silence for a moment.

There was no wind, and the sun was still so strong, but it was bitterly cold here, and all the living realized that the cold winter of their lives was coming.

What is it that has such a tremendous force that can directly lift a mountain and move millions of tons of earth, sand and gravel in an instant?

First of all, this is definitely not a natural phenomenon.

Then all Li could think of was the gods, but the gods could not interfere with reality so much, and only in areas where the level of chaos was as high as 90%, they could reveal their own entities.

The answer didn't need to be guessed by him, because everything was soon revealed.

A black hole-like gap appeared in the blue sky, and all the cracked rocks and trees were sucked in, and the dungeon was now in a state of a huge deep pit.

Immediately afterwards, around the huge tunnel, a huge team was densely packed, and those guys jumped directly into the deep valley regardless of the drop of more than 100 meters, even if they fell to pieces, they still went forward one after another.

"The undead. "Lee Ben observed their orthodoxy.

These monstrous beings of bones and carrion are just as hungry for flesh and blood as the wandering necromancers, whose purpose is to occupy them, and they want to completely destroy all living things and bring the world to a dead end.

It's instinct, or the mythological setting of human beings, that they are such a fantasy. The only way to destroy these crazy undead is to incinerate them with flames.

Those who were not broken rushed directly towards the treasure city, and those who were broken crawled slowly on the ground with stumps and severed hands, and their goals were obvious.

"Why did they suddenly show up?" Leeben wanted to find out.

He looked up from the bottom of the valley and looked for clues among the dead.

The man-made traces reflected in this extremely abnormal phenomenon are too obvious, and those walking corpses have no wisdom to speak of, and under normal circumstances, they will not take the initiative to attack if they are not close to the living and cannot sense their breath.

But the current situation just shows that there must be some guy or thing behind them.

Just as Li Ben was thinking about the problem, the army of Treasure City also began to move.

Since he was near the city gate, he naturally saw the spectacular scene of the entire army of this underground monster city.

It's not just the patrolling cavemen guards, but the sleeping creatures who have been hiding all awoke at this moment when the enemy is menacing.

First of all, the city within the city, which had been closed all the gates, opened all the entrances and exits in all four directions, and the army of well-armed minotaurs and ogres rushed out, all of them wearing strong armor and holding sharp axes and heavy hammers in their hands, although the chaotic energy of the individuals was at the level of level three, but the actual combat power was far from being comparable to those third-level creatures living in the wild. Behind them was a group of half-snake men armed with iron-tired bows and arrows, twisting the lower half of the thick snakes and moving quickly.

And then there's the sky. From the core of the castle, black shadows suddenly rushed up, letting out a piercing scream, and nearly a thousand harpies circled in the air, casting large shadows on the ground.

Only then did Li Ben realize that he still far underestimated the power of this monster city. The total number of standard armies here is more than five thousand, and there are many captain-like guys among them, and the chaos energy has reached level four. And in the specific induction, more than a dozen fifth-level chaotic creatures also appeared.

Finally, at the top of the castle's towers, a giant sloth, the lord of Treasure City, rests on it.

Li Ben looked at him and felt the huge power in his body, and the pair of lazy faces that looked like they were smiling but not smiling, and they looked weird and crazy.

Not long after the giant sloth appeared, Li Ben's chaotic perception revealed four more breaths that he had never recognized, which seemed empty and unpredictable, and it was difficult to describe and understand its characteristics.

The owners of these breaths are walking among the group of undead on the high cliffs.

Looking into the distance, Li Ben locked on to them.

One was a humanoid being wrapped in heavy armor of bright silver, judging by its size, which was more than half a body taller than those immortals, it was about three meters tall, dragging a heavy blade two meters long and nearly half a meter wide with one hand, with a large hole in the hilt, through which a thick gray chain was pierced, and the other end was nailed to the armor, and his entire right arm was entwined.

The second is a knight of normal size. The mount is a nightmare horse covered in blue flames, on which sits a guy wearing a mysterious gold-patterned black robe, also in human form, and all parts of the black robe are obscured by unknown darkness, making it impossible to see. In his right hand, he held a wand-shaped metal rod with six claws at the top, holding a small ball that constantly emitted arcs of lightning.

The third is not a creature at all. It is composed of five parts, in the center is a blue unknown substance that constantly changes geometry to form various regular polyhedra, and there are four conceptual objects in the four directions of the top, bottom, left, and right, respectively: point, line, surface, and sphere. The reason why it is called a conceptual object is because it is impossible to "see" it with the naked eye or any other means of observation, but the amazing thing is that you can instinctively know that it exists even though you can't see it with the naked eye.

The fourth place is particularly simple compared to the first three's painting style, in Li Ben's eyes, it is just a smooth ball of meat, and nothing else.

Since none of them have such a thing as chaotic energy, there is no way to roughly determine their strength and weakness according to the classification method of the humans in this world.

The army of Treasure City had already begun to fight the undead, and the Great Sloth stood in the center without moving, as a presence like a needle of the sea, he was able to calm the panic of all the inhabitants of this Treasure City.

Those guys are supposed to be behind it. Li Ben judged.

He knew what those four beings were. In all Chaos Hunter history lessons, their existence will inevitably be mentioned, as one of the main culprits in this world that hinders humanity from establishing an orderly city, preventing humanity from forming a national-scale power, and forcing humanity to live like a rat, the Marauder - an existence from between the realms and the realm, is the public enemy of the world.

Some of them were born in a certain world, and escaped when the world was about to be destroyed, wandering in the void, while others were born from the void, observing each world, and learning to grow themselves.

They have no real home, so they have to constantly try to wander in each world, but the world will not accept the existence of outsiders, and their arrival will only cause pain to the world itself.

Over time, instead of seeking a home, they turned into robbers to rob the world's most precious things, and their purpose was to create in the void and create a home of their own.

Worlds that have been corrupted by chaos and are on the verge of destruction are full of holes and are most likely to be coveted by marauders.

One of the things they value most is the fragment of the world's order, which is the wreckage of the world's will, the only pillar that every universe that is about to end struggles to support itself from being completely swallowed up by chaos. The Marauders intend to use it to shape new worlds for themselves.

So, are the glowing orbs in those temples fragments of order?

Order exists in everything, and it is as conceptual as chaos. Therefore, the fragment of order itself has no physical existence, and in order to appear in reality, it must be attached to something. If you have an area with 0% Chaos Erosion, you can also think of it as a fragment of Order.

It's not just the marauders who want it, but the humans want it too.

Its effect on human beings is beyond imagination. Relic Weapons, once the glorious crystallization of human civilization, are now sealed by the power of Chaos, and in order to unlock this seal, they must be used with the Fragment of Order as the key.

Even if we don't talk about force, in life, any human who has been corrupted by chaos can be restored after coming into contact with the fragments of order, and the same is true for hunters who have become chaotic in their flesh. And those chickens, ducks, cattle, sheep, fish, and various agricultural plants that are important food sources can also use order fragments to transform mutated organisms into normal existence.

Imagine the terrifying monster that was still pounced on you a second ago, suddenly turned into a docile lamb, and then served to the table.

All of this illustrates the importance of the Fragment of Order to humanity, and the Fragment of Order is essential to establish a large human settlement in this world.

But it is a consumable in itself, and every time it is allowed to undergo a chaotic transformation, its existence is weakened, and it is impossible to quantify it for accurate calculations. Therefore, it must be used with extreme caution.

For chaotic creatures, the fragments of order are devastating existences, and those that are mutated from the original animals can be restored to their original state, and those born from chaos will be destroyed when touched.

"If those orbs of light were fragments of order, then it would be understandable that important temples were unguarded, because ordinary monsters would not dare to touch the orbs of light at all. ”

"And the root of the tree that wraps the fragment of order is its container, and the strange ability of those fruits should be obtained by the influence of the fragment of order... No, their very existence is already out of the realm of order, what the hell is going on?"

The battle between the undead and the army is scorching, on the one hand, it is difficult for the low-level undead to fight the fierce monsters head-on, and on the other hand, the large number of the undead group also makes the army tired. In a few moments, the half-snake archers ran out of their arrows and began to fight hand-to-hand with their swords.

Mountains of broken bones and rotten flesh of the undead had piled up, and the density of the groups of the undead in the heights showed no sign of decaying. This is clearly an attempt to engulf the city completely with a sea of corpse tactics.

You have to think about your own way out. Lee Ben thought. But until then...

He set his mind on the fragments of order inside the temple. It happens to be a short distance from the temple.

Don't take it for nothing, take advantage of the monsters' attention to the outside world, fish in troubled waters, get the fragments of order in your hands, and make a lot of money with a muffled voice is the most correct choice.

The Marauders were clearly targeting the Fragments of Order, and I couldn't think of any reason for them to go to such great lengths to attack the Monster City.

All they had to do was take one and hide deeper underground, and they should be gone when they had the rest of the pieces.

If they insist on slaughtering all the lives here, they will not be able to escape at all when they are surrounded by groups of undead, and the only way to survive is to use their abilities to pretend to be dead.

And he thinks that the Marauders can defeat the monsters, because in all of his known history, the Marauders have never had a record of defeat. They haven't officially made a move so far, not because they are afraid of the big sloth, but because they are afraid of the world itself.

After considering all this, Li Ben decisively executed the plan.

To be on the safe side, he uses his stealth abilities to infiltrate the nearest temple, facing the thick green-bark roots and taking out his victims to slash.

The strength of the roots was far beyond his imagination, and the victims of the slashing monsters could only leave a shallow gap in them. Not only that, but it also has a monster-like ability to recover quickly, eliminating the possibility of repeatedly slashing a place.

The cries of battle outside the temple were loud and loud, and they were getting closer and closer. You don't have to think about it to know that the monsters are losing ground and shifting the battle line.

"It's not going to be easy. Li Ben felt anxious, and his heart became heavier and heavier under the effect of the crisis early warning ability.

Although I don't know what the consequences will be, I am still a human being, and there is still a gift from the world in my soul, so there should be no problem directly touching the fragment of order with my hands, right?

Gritting his teeth, he reached directly for the ball of light.

The moment it came into contact, the ball of light dimmed, and when Li Ben pulled it out, it had already turned into an ordinary glass crystal ball.

"What's going on?" Li Ben was stunned.

"Ahh A strong sense of crisis oppressed him.

Tucking the crystal ball into the small package he carried with him, Li Ben used his stealth ability to run to the underground passage leading to the black dragon's lair.

Even when he entered the tunnel, he still felt like a man's back, so he had to run deeper.

Until the territory of the black dragon, he found that this place was already full of monsters, and he was the last one.

"Boom!"

An extremely turbulent cold current suddenly rushed from the other end of the passage, directly sealing Li Benbing, just as he was hit by Flamin's frost magic, and his stealth ability was also lifted.

This cold snap has no momentum to stop. It flooded all corners of the subterranean space, and not a single monster was spared.

A vicious roar came from the black dragon's lair, and it finally woke up from its sleep, fluttering its wings and smashing large swaths of frozen monsters.

The second wave of shock is coming. Different from the previous cold aura, this time it was based on a surging silver serpentine lightning storm, and all the ice sculptures were blown apart starting from Li Ben.

Then a head rolled out of the passage, and the lord of Treasure City, the big sloth, was dead, and his big mouth seemed to be smiling strangely.

The sound of iron locks clashing slowly approached the place.

The armored giant dragging the giant blade stepped out.

He looked around, looking for something, and didn't pay any attention to the black dragon in the distance.

As if he had suddenly found his target, he strode forward to a corpse that had been blown up by the thunder, kicked his head away, tore off the scarlet sword and threw it away, but carefully picked up a package and opened it, pulling out a glass ball.

He placed the orb in front of his head and examined it carefully, as if he could look through the thick armor.

He suddenly began to tremble, and the next moment he smashed the glass ball with all his might. A wave of sound erupted from the center of the armored giant.

The black dragon in the distance saw this as a provocation, and directly spat out a fiery snake hundreds of meters from its mouth, sweeping towards the giant.

The flames didn't leave any mark on the armor, only to restore the ice-cellar-like underground world to its normal temperature.

The armored giant grasped his sword and threw it at the black dragon, the chain connecting the hilt extending indefinitely against the rules. The giant blade flew towards the black dragon, and the giant walked away without looking back, stomping on the corpse before leaving.

The black dragon's huge size was naturally not afraid of that sword, it just turned its head and planned to attack again.

However, the giant blade landed, and the next moment the black dragon felt unable to control himself, wondering why he was falling.

As its head hit the ground, it saw a perfect inverted triangular pyramid in the ground behind it, filled with a pile of minced flesh from its own neck down, unable to distinguish which was bone and which was skin.

The giant blade was dragged out of the minced meat by chains, and then slashed in front of the black dragon's head, making a crisp "sonorous" sound in the friction and collision with the rock formation.
