Chapter XXVII
Huang Chao entered the next layer of the mine, where the metal building hung in the purple void. This is characteristic of the underworld, which partially overlaps near the core of the clockwork.
The metal floor also lost its original color and was dyed with a purple sheen. Huang Chao looked at this space, and already felt the aura of the underworld around him: "The power that invaded my sea of knowledge before, is this power!" ”
Not far after he walked out of the elevator, a cloud of purple light flashed on the ground, and seven or eight tentacles stretched out from under the ground, instantly growing to two or three meters high. They are constantly swaying from side to side, as if looking for prey. The tentacles are covered with fine scales, and the luster in the cracks of the nails outlines strange lines.
Huang Chao immediately stopped, retreated to a safe distance before the opponent's attack, and directly cleared the barricade with the colorful magic arrow.
As he descended deeper into the mines, the Nether monsters attacked him. The lowest-level monster here, also a herd of Nether, has a backward jump skill. They were purple all over, with blue and gold stripes, and they attacked Huang Chao in groups, and they also knew how to jump back to dodge when their skills attacked.
The head of the Immortal resembles an alien, and there are several tentacle-like organs on the back of the head that are constantly fluttering. Except for the Nether's mage, which has a serpentine lower part, the other units are two-armed and two-legged, and all Nether's are purple, the same color as the Void outside.
The Netherborn Slasher is armed with a serrated broadsword, which can slash horizontally after launching a charge, and if the knife hits, Huang Chao will be knocked off half of his blood. The Netherborn thrower throws three boomerangs of purple energy in the distance, which can roughly lock the direction of Huang Chao, and the electric light flashes in the dart, once it is paralyzed, it is the end of being set on fire.
These enemies are quite tricky, but Huang Chao can eliminate them from a safe distance by teleporting. Huang Chao moved forward steadily. Two main units appear in the back, both of which have mastered the teleportation skill.
The Netherborn beast is four or five meters tall, covered with huge knotted muscles, and can hit a shockwave that tracks the enemy on the ground, such a powerful melee unit, and also has the ability to teleport, and it is very ferocious to smash the ground in the face. The Nether Mage can unleash a mixture of fire and ice, summon the Netherbeast, release the Netherworld Lightning Ball, and of course, as a mage, it also has the ability to teleport.
"Then it depends on who teleports fast." Huang Chao smiled slightly, his spell casting speed was extremely fast, and the magic amount was sufficient, as long as the other party teleported close, he immediately teleported away at the same time. In the interval between movements, he maintained the output of Blizzard and Colorful Demon Arrows, and if the opponent released his skills, it would be difficult to hit him, but he would be completely hit by Huang Chao.
As they run out of health, they run out of health and die.
These monsters Huang Chao had all seen when Zhihai invaded, and at this time, he really felt that the enemy was very red when he saw him. Huang Chao also had a guess in his heart that these troops were just cannon fodder, and the later Hades King was only one of the rulers of the underworld. He now has no means to destroy the consciousness of the underworld, nor does he have the ability to completely destroy the underworld, so he can only repair the core of the clockwork and bankrupt the other party's invasion plot.
Huang Chao quickly advanced to the last floor, already feeling very tired physically and mentally. There was no change in the sky underground, and Huang Chao didn't have any timing equipment. He returned to the mine town to recuperate, ready to destroy all the enemies in one fell swoop.
The Magical Patronus saw him return and asked him about his progress: "How's the situation going underground, Your Excellency Huang Chao?" ”
"Come on, I'm close to the core of the clockwork. The monsters in the mines were destroyed. ”
The Magic Patronus sprinkled a piece of golden light, eliminating most of Huang Chao's fatigue: "You have been fighting in the mine for more than 30 hours, please take a good rest." The fate of the world is at stake in the ensuing battle. ”
Huang Chao smiled lightly, and looked up at the two-story magic guardian: "I wasn't nervous, but I let you say that I was under pressure, haha." ”
He slept for more than a dozen hours, woke up refreshed, and entered the mine again. He deliberately left a layer of small monsters in front of him, just so that he could warm up before fighting Hades. These little monsters were killed by Huang Chao one after another, and in the process, Huang Chao found the feeling of fighting again.
Huang Chao came to a circular platform suspended in the void, with many circles of different sizes connected to each other on the edges, and huge gears stirring each other below. An armillary-like metal device stands in the center of the platform, two metal rings nested within each other, making irregular rotations.
This is the core of clockwork, the spatial barrier between the two worlds.
Huang Chao saw that the movement of the ring often paused, flashing golden and white lightning, and a powerful aura of power was released from it. The core of the clockwork has been damaged, and the power is leaking.
Huang Chao's heart moved, and he opened the space-time foil interface, and the space-time energy in front of him was growing at a speed that was visible to the naked eye. Seeing the percentage numbers floating all the way up, Huang Chao was quite happy: "Ha, an unexpected gain." I was going to stay in this world for a long time, but now I can go back early! ”
He was observing the space-time foil when one end of the platform shook violently. In the flash of white light, a spatial passage appeared on the surface of the platform, and a huge figure was taking shape. Hades has traveled through space to the heart of the clockwork.
The Immortal King is a burly man, also purple, wears a small amount of metal armor, and wields a blue Underworld Greatsword. As soon as his body was condensed, he immediately let out a loud roar at Huang Chao, and his huge body was like a truck, crashing into Huang Chao.
There is no one else here, Huang Chao can also be in the second hand, he shouted while brushing the colorful magic arrow: "Go die, monster!" After shouting this, the monster had already slashed at him, and he hurriedly teleported away.
The Immortal spewed a breath into the clearing, and the ground was covered in frost and flames. At the same time, Huang Chao unleashed a blizzard and swiped countless magic arrows. When the Hades King turned around to attack him, Huang Chao immediately teleported behind the other party.
He teleported twice at a time, enough distance to allow him to unleash the Rainbow Arrows with peace of mind. The Immortal ran left and right, and was quickly emptied of his HP.
Then the Immortal roared and evolved into his second form! It is taller and more skilled. He can unleash a charge and slash with incredible power. Huang Chao saw that the weapon in the opponent's hand had also increased, and he couldn't help but feel numb: "This sword is already three or four meters, it's best not to get hit." ”
The Immortal has all the skills of the Immortal Warrior, and is even stronger.
The Immortal unleashed a huge purple ball of lightning that moved and flew out of it countless self-tracking missiles. Huang Chao teleported again and again, dodging the trajectory of the lightning ball. As soon as he landed, he faced the charge of the Hades, and was directly pushed by the Hades.
In the air, Huang Chao had already drunk the blood vial to replenish the amount of blood, and teleported behind the Hades. Hades swept the air with a sword and immediately turned around, Huang Chao had already flashed several times in a row.
"Such a big size, just for me to aim!" Huang Chao's results for a month finally appeared, and countless colorful demon arrows under his own control all hit the head of the Hades, causing it to let out a roar of pain.
Hades released the lightning ball again, Huang Chao teleported continuously, not giving the other party a chance at all, and when he completely left the shooting range of the missile, Huang Chao once again red wine the head of Hades, and countless critical injuries appeared, making Huang Chao feel relieved and happy from his heart. Hades summoned the Underworld beasts again, and these most basic monsters didn't take long to drink hatred in the multicolored demon arrows.
Huang Chao will inevitably be hurt in battle, but his equipment is strong, he will not be killed in an instant at all, and his inventory contains the best potion he can buy at the moment, and he will soon be able to recover his health.
The battle lasted for more than ten minutes, and the Immortal fell to the ground with a roar.
Huang Chao put away the equipment dropped by the Hades and walked into the ring in the center of the platform, where space-time energy has been leaking during the battle, and the space-time foil's traversal energy has increased to 68%. Huang Chao waited for a while, and found that the space-time energy was no longer growing rapidly, so he put the heart of Odak into the ring.
He had considered absorbing the energy directly from it, but he was worried that the spatial barrier would be completely damaged. Anyway, the energy of time and space can also grow over time, and he is not in a hurry.
The ring emitted a dazzling light, piercing the surrounding void, and the platform shook violently, and Huang Chao felt that there was an additional imprisoning power around him. Two rings enclose the heart of Audak, spinning at a fixed speed, and the core of the clockwork has been completely repaired.
Huang Chao glanced around the platform, surrounded by a red and orange void, as if it was deep in the center of the earth, but there was no heat in the mines. He looked at the corpse of the Hades at his feet and let out a sigh, "It's over." ”
The portal to Mine Town had already been opened next to it, and Huang Chao was thanked by the Magic Patronus after returning and received a golden breastplate. He made his way down the reddish-brown path of Mine Town and spotted two new people underneath the steps.
A woman told him that if he wanted to retire, he could leave his equipment here and pass it on to future generations. This is not the NPC that can allow players to enter the next week's event, and Huang Chao has no intention of retiring from it.
Another robot, with a map factory open next to him, allows him to fight in countless dungeons.
Huang Chao returned to the imperial camp from the mine gate, and the camp was a jubilant scene, and everyone came over to congratulate him. In just a few moments, the news of the victory has reached here. It seems that he repaired the core of the clockwork underground, and the people on the ground have a way to sense it directly.
Wei'er greeted Huang Chao with a smile on her face: "Now you are a well-deserved hero." My mission has come to an end and I will return to the Imperial Capital shortly. Do you want to join the Conqueror? ”
"Forget it. I'm going to go to Isrian next, and then I'm going to upgrade in the map factory. "Huang Chao is a person with no identity, and he doesn't know what will happen when he runs to the imperial capital. And after being in the Torchlight world for so long, he kind of wanted to go back.
"Alas, what a pity. Take care of yourself. In the future, if you have a chance, you can come to the imperial capital to find me and Blake, and we will take you to have a good time. Vile looked at the young celestial in front of her, like her own brother.
Huang Chao took the address left by Wei'er and carefully put it in his trouser pocket, the clothes he brought were protected by equipment, and it was very safe to put a piece of paper. He said with a little sentimentality: "Take care. ”
Huang Chao said goodbye to Wei'er and entered the map factory, he did not buy a copy of the map, but returned directly to Isrian through the teleportation array here. The old man had promised to teach him advanced meditation methods.
