Chapter Ninety-Four: The Gatekeeper
Unlike what they imagined, on the way into the valley, the two did not encounter a single monster for the first time.
However, after walking a short distance, the girl moved her nose and frowned, "What does this smell like?"
"Brimstone, scorched earth, and ...... The smell of blood. ”
"Blood, are there any other creatures in the valley?"
His Excellency the future Ultra Magister shook his head, "I asked Rosita before leaving, this was originally a camp of bandits, and that group was exterminated about ten years ago, because there are no large animals or magical beasts in their existence, so the smell of blood in the air probably comes from themselves. ”
"Those monsters...... Will they kill each other too?"
"They already kill each other in the abyss, but after coming to the surface, they become temporary allies because they have a common goal and enemy, but when food is extremely scarce, they still show their fangs, and the group of monsters that appeared in the north from the Malkan Desert ate a lot of their kind when they went north, but the situation here is different. ”
"Huh?"
Rob explained, "If you're hunting for food, you're going to follow the principle of not wasting it, but the smell of blood in the air is a little too strong right now, so it's more likely that there's something wrong in the valley." ”
After saying this, His Excellency the future Super Magister pulled out the starfall on his waist, which meant that his attitude was also serious.
The two of them continued to move on, and at some point the atmosphere became more and more gloomy, and after walking for about a quarter of an hour, there was still no trace of any monster, and the distance was almost close to the center of the valley, which was undoubtedly very abnormal.
Rob and Lolo slowed down and crossed the small dirt slope in front of them, but they were taken aback by what they saw.
I saw a huge dark red wall of flesh blocking in front of them, blocking their way forward, that dark red wall of flesh was made of the corpses of countless monsters, and the bloody breath that the two of them smelled before came from this.
"This ...... Who made this thing?" Before the girl's words fell, the wall of flesh actually moved, as if it had been awakened from a deep sleep, the flesh and blood on the wall began to squirm, accompanied by wailing and moaning, and the scattered monsters in ** seemed to come back to life, tens of thousands of eyes turned together, making different expressions, and the scene in front of them was indescribably weird and evil.
"Stand back. Rob's tone was more serious than ever, and Starfall rested on his chest.
Lolo had lived with someone for so many years, and the tacit understanding between the two was extraordinary, and before someone could say anything, the girl had already taken three steps back, but when she looked at the latter, she found that Rob had not moved.
"This thing can see through our invisibility and sense us, and if I'm not mistaken, it should be the gatekeeper of this abyssal rift. ”
"The janitor?"
"Well, it's there to deal with us, or rather yours. His Excellency the future Ultra Magus said, "The Abyssal Rift is opened and closed by the Force, and you also happen to have the Force on your body, so the gods will naturally be wary of you, the appearance of this wall of flesh should not be an accident, except for Seta City is a trap, the abyssal rifts in other places will evolve sooner or later, they will wrap and protect the abyssal rifts, preventing you from closing them from the inside, so if we want to solve this abyssal rift, we must first break through this wall of flesh." ”
In the moments when Rob spoke, the wall of flesh also changed greatly, its shape changed drastically, and two arm-like things grew, grabbing Rob and Lolo not far away.
And the future Super Magister His Excellency stretched out a finger unhurriedly and quickly drew a secret imprint in the sky.
The next moment, the arms made of the two pieces of minced flesh were frozen in place.
Then Rob waved the starfall in his hand and cut them off one by one.
However, not a single drop of blood came out of the fracture, and the severed arm that fell to the ground quickly dried up and disappeared, and then two arms grew again on the wall of flesh.
His Excellency the future Ultra Magister looked moved, and plunged the elven sword in his hand into the ground under his feet, only to see a touch of red on the tip of the sword when he pulled it out, and then he heard Luo Luo let out an exclamation, the girl had retreated to a rock wall, but when she looked up, she saw brown blood flowing in the stone crevice.
Luo Luo thought of the strange grass stalk outside the valley, and now it seems that it is not just this wall of flesh, I am afraid that the whole valley has come to life, whether it is the rock wall or the underground, its blood vessels are buried everywhere.
In other words, the two of them are now fighting within its body, no wonder those two arms can disappear immediately after they hit the ground, apparently becoming nutrients and being transported back into the wall of flesh.
Rob's expression remained unchanged, and in the face of the menacing attack from the opposite side, he still used secret magic to limit the opponent's motivation first, and then drew his sword, but this time a flame ignited on his blade, and the flames engulfed the two severed arms, burning clean.
The wall of flesh seemed to feel the pain, too, and the monster heads on the wall wailed together.
However, the next moment, four thicker arms grew out of it, and at this time the simple secret art could no longer control them, and it was obvious that this thing was not as stupid as it looked, in fact, it could be seen from its fighting strategy that it was constantly learning and improving.
However, the future Ultra Magister did not show any panic on his face, and a soft and pure white light erupted from his palm. If someone from the church is present, it is estimated that they can recognize it at a glance as a divine power.
The divine power, which focuses on healing and status buffs, is probably the most gentle and harmless power system in the entire Dawn Continent, but it is this power that will incarnate into the most powerful weapon when facing evil creatures.
Under the light of the divine power, the movements of the four arms became noticeably slow, and although they could still move, they began to stagger as if they were drunk, and Rob held Starfall in his hand and unhurriedly cut them off again, burning them into ashes.
When it comes to the war of attrition, the future Ultra Magister has never been afraid of anyone.
And the meat wall on the opposite side also seemed to be a little sluggish after two waves of blows, and there was no movement for a while.
Rob didn't intend to give it a chance to breathe, since the opponent didn't move, the future Super Magister moved on his own, and Rob walked directly towards the wall of flesh.
This immediately angered the latter, and the flesh on the wall rolled and bulged as if something was about to come out of it.
