Chapter 35: Under the Brood Mother's Nest
In the frenzied attack of the four, the health of the Flesh Hive finally dropped to a respectable value, giving everyone hope of victory. The brood also seemed to feel that its destruction was imminent, and tried her best to open the mental fluctuations to the maximum, and the flesh and blood beasts besieging Xiao Ke were already raging to the point of being beyond measure, and for a while, Xiao Ke was in danger!
When the health of the brood dropped to less than 1000 points, the alloy gate finally couldn't stop the flesh beasts from tearing, and a huge hole was torn out, and countless flesh beasts frantically squeezed through the opening, ignoring the fact that their bodies were scraped by the alloy door.
When the four of them saw this scene, they gave up the fight with the flesh beast at the same time, and attacked the brood with all their might, but it was too late after all, and when the brood's health was still 300 points, the beast herd finally entered the attack distance!
In the next moment, they were about to be overwhelmed by the endless flesh beasts, and just at the last moment, a dark red meteor passed through the alloy gate, with a deafening sound striking, piercing the core of the brood in one fell swoop, down to the handle!
Time seemed to stand still at this moment, and everyone, including the Shadow Flesh Beasts, stopped moving, and all eyes were on the brood.
When the still time flowed again, the brood's body suddenly swelled to the extreme, and the energy spear burst inside it, reducing its health to zero and blowing its body into minced meat!
All the flesh beasts wailed, but with the death of the brood, they burst one after another, and the flesh of thousands of shadow beasts covered the entire warehouse, and the stench in the warehouse was so strong that the smell made several people want to gag.
After a long period of destruction, the alloy gate finally couldn't hold on, and in a tooth-squeaking sound, it collapsed with a bang, revealing Xiao Ke behind the door.
Xiao Ke was already completely skinless at this time, and on his body, his own blood and the flesh and blood of the shadow beast were mixed together, a thick layer of paste, and it looked extremely disgusting. One of his eyes had been blown out by the Shadow Beast, and one of his legs was lame, and he was really embarrassed to the extreme.
The four of them looked at Xiao Ke's embarrassed appearance and frowned. Funeral Heaven said mockingly: "Yo! Isn't this the Shoko known as the steel and iron bones! Why is it that you are the worst person who is beaten every time? This is the case for Kane to do the job transfer mission, this is the case under the walls of the Holy Helmet Valley, and it is the same now, your steel skin should be renamed the most appropriate one, and it is most appropriate to call it the tattered skin, hahahaha! β
Xiao Ke was still smiling brightly, but the next moment, this reckless action hurt him and grinned, he said: "The scar is a man's medal, you look at the two beauties at the scene, which one is not fascinated by my heroic image?" β
Elena spat and scolded, "Phew! Look in the mirror, with your current image, even the sow will not be fascinated by you! β
Wanqing chuckled at Xiao Ke and said, "How did you do this?" It's too late to recover from your injury, so use the Perfect Recovery Potion! β
Xiao Ke sighed: "I've already used it, and I want to wait another hour." β
Wanqing continued: "Then let's wait, the refresh time of the Shadow Castle is 24 hours, and there is still plenty of time." β
So the people walked back and found a clean place to sit and rest. At this time, the Soul Mark came with a prompt: "You killed the Flesh Brood!" β
"Obtain Shadow BloodΓ3."
"Get 10 Γ Shadow Hair."
"Obtain Solid Shadow Flesh Γ52, (One of the materials used to craft a Shadow Flask or Recovery Potion, which can be crafted from the Apothecary for Soul Points or sold to the Soul Sanctuary at a high price.) οΌβ
"Obtain a special item: Brood Flesh [Core] Heart, which can be used for the sacrifice of the Soul Altar."
"Earn 1,320 soul points each."
Everyone didn't expect that it was just a trip to parallel space, and a second sacrifice would appear so soon.
The brood flesh [core] heart was directly assigned to Xiao Ke, and he held it in his hand, thinking about it, this thing was almost exactly the same as the mother body that had been modified Xiao Ke, stretching and shrinking, and constantly beating in the palm of his hand.
Wanqing was very familiar with Xiao Ke's past, she patted Xiao Ke's shoulder and said, "Don't think about it, since we have come here, we have already said goodbye to the past." Since this thing is so similar to the mother, it is just right for you to sacrifice it. β
Xiao Ke nodded silently, and withdrew the core to the soul seal.
When the cooldown of the Perfect Recovery Elixir was over, Xiao Ke immediately drank another bottle and returned to his best condition, and then everyone got up and continued to move forward.
Several people returned to the warehouse where the brood was located, and behind the brood's corpse, they found an emergency exit, a small side door that connected two passages, an elevator and an emergency escape staircase. In such a strange environment, of course, everyone will not choose to take the elevator, but walk towards the stairs.
However, Xiao Ke suddenly stopped everyone, he put his hands together, pulled outward hard, and a thin line composed of energy had formed in his hands, and he laid out the thin line of energy horizontally along the door twice, and then he reached out and pushed the door open, and when the door opened, he immediately flashed aside.
A strong wind suddenly erupted from the small open door, and a humanoid shadow pounced out at extremely rapid speed, this was a shadow assassin, it had obviously been lurking for a long time, just waiting for its prey to fall into the trap before delivering a fatal blow!
However, its long-awaited pounce fell into Shawco's trap, and its violent speed made it crash into the thin line of energy without suspense, and was directly cut into three pieces by its own inertia. However, its vitality is extremely tenacious, and its health is much higher than that of the Shadow Assassins encountered at the entrance to the castle.
"Elite Shadow Assassin, 300 Health, Immune to Physical Attacks"
The Shadow Assassin struggled back on the ground, trying to melt himself into the shadows so that he could escape, but how could the crowd give it this chance to destroy it with a single burst of fire.
This shadow assassin had just died, and Xiao Ke suddenly condensed the energy spear and thrust into his shadow, and in a 'snort' sound, the shadow was burned by the energy spear and emitted a puff of black smoke. It turned out that in the process of killing the Shadow Assassin just now, another Shadow Assassin lurked in at some point and hid in Shawco's shadow.
The Shadow Assassin was pinned to the ground with a spear, struggling in vain, trying to attack Shoko with the Shadow Bayonet in his hand, and how could Shoko give it such a chance? The red light flashed in his right hand, and it had already evaporated with a burst flash.
After killing the two elite shadow assassins, Xiao Ke and the others finally entered the staircase as an emergency passage, from here, the word "shadow" in the name "Shadow Castle" is somewhat worthy of the name, although it is not completely dark here, but the emergency lights on the wall only flash a faint dark red light, and the whole space is very dim.
After a few turns, everyone soon came to the fire door on the lower floor, Xiao Ke listened carefully, and whispered to the others: "There is something waiting for us inside!" β
Wanqing asked in a low voice, "Or the shadow assassin just now?" β
Xiao Ke shook his head slightly and said, "I'm afraid this time it's a frontal battle!" β
As soon as he finished speaking, he jumped up, pressed his hands on the fire door, and pasted his whole body on it, and then suddenly exerted force, and with a boom, the fire door broke away from the door frame and flew out far back. And Xiao Ke had already driven straight in at the moment of the fire door, and pierced a spear into a crack in the enemy's armor before the enemy had time to react.
The enemies behind the door are a group of armored samurai, taller and stronger than the original Shadow Samurai, with deeper shadows and deeper shadows within the armor, elite Shadow Samurai with 500 health and 50% immunity to physical damage.
Xiao Ke's sudden intrusion caught these shadow warriors off guard, and he knocked down two of them in an instant, behind Xiao Ke, Wan Qing, Fu Tian, and Kane also followed, Wan Qing's figure was clear and constant, and her movements were smooth and natural, unlike Xiao Ke, who either opened and closed wide, or was extremely weird, her energy sword qi cut the armor of the shadow warriors as easily as paper cuts, and several shadow warriors had not had time to act, and their bodies had been divided into several sections.
Elena even began to release the stars falling through the door, this ultimate move is simply the first weapon when assisting others in group battles, how can the staggered enemy who was smashed by the energy star bullet cause an effective counterattack against Xiao Ke and them?
However, these armored warriors were brave and tenacious, and their strength was amazing. It is worth mentioning that ordinary shadow warriors only hold ordinary long swords in their hands, but in the hands of these elite shadow warriors, they hold living shadow weapons, which are the kind of monsters that can attack the enemy with both the body and the shadow! Together, these two shadow creatures are not additive, but multiplied!
Hard-fought battles have always been the favorite of the King's Landing team, and when the enemy loses those weird abilities and only relies on the strength of the attributes, the King's Landing team will crush them with an even more powerful attribute advantage. What's more, there is still Wanqing in the team now, the Queen of Blades is the nemesis of shadow weapons at all, with her, the strength of these enemies can only be exerted at most 70%!
After this battle, except for Elena, the other four were all wounded. But this battle was fought heartily, which made the belligerent Shawco and Futian addicted.
A total of 48 elite Shadow Warriors and Shadow Weapons were smashed into scrap metal and parts, and everyone received Tempered Shadow Γ5, Shadow Blood Γ1, Wish Gem Γ2, and Shadow ResidueΓ4 (Materials, adding this item when powering up equipment increases the chance of success of equipment enhancement by an additional 10%). ), 980 soul points per person!
Although the name of the shadow residue sounds very wasteful, its effect has given everyone a big surprise, this kind of thing cannot be bought on the first floor of the temple at all, if you can get more, even if you don't use it, you can sell it for a sky-high price!
While the crowd was rejoicing, their position suddenly collapsed. With a loud bang, the floor of the room collapsed, revealing a huge space more than ten meters deep below.
It was a vast space with a radius of hundreds of meters, even wider than the room where the Flesh Hive was located, and on the surrounding stone walls, searchlights lit up one by one, illuminating this huge space as if it were day!
Although the collapse came suddenly, the height of more than ten meters was still helpless for the five Xiao Ke, they showed their abilities, and all of them landed safely, looking around cautiously.
Around them, five figures floated silently, all covered in gray cloaks, revealing not faces, but deep shadows, and from the sleeves of their wide coats, a large, withered gray hand, which indicated a black mist that looked like the rotting palms of a dead man.
In their large hands, they grasped a huge scythe made of shadows, and each movement of the scythe would leave a faint white mark in the air, just as space would be cut by it.
From their shadowy hoods, there was a very long gasping sound, and with each breath they breathed, a white mist was sprayed into the air, and where the white mist passed, a layer of ice immediately formed!
The image of this monster is clearly the Grim Reaper that has appeared in many film and television works!
There is a hint from the soul seal, this is the Shadow Queen's guard, the Shadow!
