Chapter 175: War Machine
In the Colosseum under the illumination, the skeleton soldiers were crowded, shoulder-to-shoulder, carrying shields and rusty machetes, and they rushed towards Downton and his party in waves.
There is no fighting and shouting, only the click of bones and weapons colliding, making it feel like being in an undead hell.
Six ghouls stood guard around Serex, and the rest split into two groups, scattered at the front and end of the group.
There are too many monsters, there is no need for Jackson to be a scout, and with its strength, it can't take on the task of assault.
Downton threw away his shield, the order sword in his left hand, and the black dragon wings in his right hand, and slaughtered Yongdao in one go.
The continuous giant seals smashed down, and within the enveloping range, the skeleton soldiers were shattered, the bone sticks flew wildly, Downton turned around, the giant flail swept, and the magic energy chain directly cleared a clearing.
"Follow me!" Downton waved his arm, knocking a skeleton that fell overhead, roaring, and stomping on the bones all over the ground.
Holding the Dome in her left hand and the Staff of Showers in her right hand, Celes followed behind with her neck curled and her face pale, and she lost her duties and threw the illumination spell into the corridor.
After seeing the situation inside, even Downton couldn't help but sink in his heart.
Within a hundred yards of visibility, skeleton soldiers were already crowded, and farther away, it didn't seem safe.
"I think we'd better retreat, right? There are too many monsters, how long are we going to kill them?" Jackson retreated.
"There's no choice, kill it!" Downton's offensive opened and closed, slashing over the skeletons around him, and just about to speed up the pace, little Lori took the lead and rushed over.
"Big brother, you rest first. I can also clean up these trash fish. Hu Tao continued to slash and slash, tearing the dragon's teeth to create an arc, cutting many skeletons in half.
"Listen to her, there must be a big battle ahead, you can't exhaust your physical strength!" Homer saw that Downton disagreed, and hurriedly persuaded him. "Hu Tao is also a member of the team, you have to believe her!"
Little Lori nodded solemnly, the attack was more fierce, she wanted to use the number of kills to prove that she was not a burden.
"Okay, be careful, don't be reckless!" Downton sighed, raised his hand, and blessed Hu Tao with the Three Divine Techniques.
"Oh yes, I've finally enjoyed the magic spell!" Hu Taomei smiled. After cheering, he reminded everyone, "I'm going to fire all the fire, you have to keep up!"
When the words fell, Little Lori suddenly accelerated, killed seven meters, and then jumped, and then like a bombshell. Falling at a rapid pace, tomahawk slashing.
Rumble. The floor within five yards of Hu Tao's body collapsed, and a powerful wave of shock air swept through the surroundings, and the bodies of those skeleton soldiers were torn apart as if they had encountered a hurricane.
The rubble was also like a bullet, and it clanged.
Hu Tao continued to sprint, the tomahawk chopping the back of a skeleton's head. It smashed to the floor, and a flash of brilliance flashed on the blade of the axe, followed by a sharp wave of magic energy that shot out, splitting the skeletons in its path.
In the splatters of bone sticks, Hu Tao resembles a steel chariot. Crushed over.
The road was very long, twisting and turning, and it was still raining 'skeletons', which made Downton less and less confident in his judgment.
"Hu Tao, stay and swap with me!" Downton swung his saber into the sky, slashing a fallen skeleton.
"It's okay, I'm not tired yet. Hu Tao wanted to share as much of the pressure as possible from her big brother, so she took two quick steps and released the spinning slash.
Little Lori spun like a typhoon, and the sharp axe blade flashed one pale blue luster after another, dazzling in the dim corridor.
"Not for this reason, I believe you. Downton explained, "We've already crossed 800 meters, but the corridor still has no end, and there's definitely something wrong with that!"
"Huh, is it that far away?" Hu Tao glanced back, the ghouls didn't know tiredness at all, and even if they were wearing heavy armor, they wouldn't be tired enough to gasp.
Celes could float, but she was still panting and sweating, and her dress was soaked and clinging to her body.
"Lord Homer, show your skills!" Jackson pleaded, "or we will die of exhaustion sooner or later!"
"Keep going. Homer urged, "This is a magic array involving space disciplines, I've been looking for nodes, and if I can't find them, let's not think about going out." ”
The Grimoire didn't expect Downton to notice it too, it had actually found out earlier, and the reason why it didn't say it was because it was worried about telling them the current situation and hitting their confidence.
"Then let's get out of here, shall we?" Jackson was dumbfounded, "According to the current situation, he is either exhausted or killed!"
The skeletons are weak, but they can't hold up enough of them!
"It's impossible, the space where we walked has changed, so we can only continue to run. Homer reminded, "The mysterious master who made it is, without a doubt, at least the dragon slaying level." ”
This kind of magic array is not about killing the enemy immediately, but about attrition and imprisoning, if it weren't for the magic tome, Downton and his party would be trapped in it for the rest of their lives.
"Believe in Homer. Downton's expression didn't show any change, "From now on, retain your physical strength, and your magic energy will be guaranteed at least one-third, Hu Tao, let's change positions every ten minutes!"
"Master, aren't you worried about dying here?" Jackson thought with a bitter look on his face.
"No more nonsense, believe it or not, I tore your mouth?" Downton frowned, this kind of talk was too demoralizing.
"Okay, I'll shut up. "Jackson remembered whether he ate or not, and within a hundred meters, he began to chatter again.
Although it was ten minutes, but every time Downton would deliberately delay the time, so that Hu Tao could get enough rest, as a big man, he really didn't want a little Lori to fight in front, although this little Hu Tao might be even more powerful than him.
The atmosphere of the whole team was also better, Downton was worried, but he never showed this emotion on his face, and he wanted to boost morale, but found that it was not necessary.
Hu Tao has no heart and lungs, and treats fighting skeletons as a game, Celes never thinks about her own safety at all, and keeps sneaking a glance at Downton to tell him not to be too tired, the only lost guy is Jackson, but Downton ignores it.
"Found it!" The Demon Flame text suddenly flourished, and the burning became more and more intense, "Stop!"
"Nothing here?" Jackson shattered the skeleton of a skeleton and looked on tiptoe.
"Attack here, with all your might!" shot an arrow from the tome, pointing at the marble wall on the right.
Hu Tao roared, and slashed at the torn dragon tooth on it.
Bang, cracks spread like cobwebs, rubble fell, and even the ground shook.
Hu Tao saw that there was no change, so he simply activated the power of the giant, and it was another shot.
Boom, a big hole was punched out of the wall.
"It's so hard, why hasn't it broken yet?" Hu Tao was about to make further efforts, but was stopped by Homer's elemental arm.
"Are you going to me off?" Homer reluctantly stuck the arrow to the wall, "That's it, if you can't hit it, you'll be useless even if you tear down the front wall!"
"Hey!" Hu Tao stuck out his tongue in embarrassment and swung his tomahawk again.
Boom, as Hu Tao hit, the swarming skeleton soldiers were like encountering the ice and snow of the day, and suddenly shattered into powder and scattered.
Click!
The wall of the corridor was like a cracked mirror, and after the cracks were all over it, it completely collapsed, and then revealed a corridor.
This is the only way to the Dark Altar, and although there are no monsters, everyone is afraid to be careless.
Downton made a gesture for Jackson to explore the way first, but the thing pretended not to see it, and an angry Downton kicked it on the waist.
"Don't fight, I really didn't see it. Jackson dragged and dragged over, it felt so cheap, it knew that it couldn't hide, and it had to be kicked to be satisfied.
"Don't illuminate, use night vision!" Downton stopped Celess who was about to cast a spell, after all, illumination could attract the attention of enemies.
The road was unimpeded, and in the sound of suppressed breathing, the team walked through the long corridor, and after turning a corner, they saw the quaint stone door at the end of the corridor.
"It's all waiting here. Downton held down the walnut that wanted to run over, and let a low-level ghoul find his way.
It didn't even hit the stone gate a few times until it reached the stone gate, but it didn't trigger any traps.
"Let's go!" Downton was always vigilant, forming a defensive formation with the ghouls to protect Serex at all times.
"Awesome, it's actually the magic lock of the dead plane, I'm getting more and more curious about what's inside?"
The stone gate was firmly imprisoned by twenty complex magic locks, and if it couldn't be broken, even if the dragon slayer came to the stage, it couldn't be opened with brute force.
Hu Tao looked at the magic pattern on the stone door, and after a few seconds, a mosquito-shaped circle turned in his pupils, "This thing, it's really incomprehensible!"
Downton didn't even look at it, it wasn't his knowledge.
Five minutes later, Homer, who lived up to expectations, was unlocked, and the stone door opened inward with a rumbling sound.
The dark altar of the mysterious master is finally presented in the team's field of vision.
It is a large hexagonal area, the size of half a football field, with a ten-meter high platform.
Unlike other dark areas, there were a large number of purple spots of light floating around the altar, like fireflies, which was a phenomenon of a large gathering of dark energy.
Through these flares of light, Downton saw the scene on the altar clearly.
An abomination knelt on one knee on the altar with its head bowed, and at its feet was a complex and obscure magic array, glowing with a dark red light, and its body, bound with ten chains, extended to the stone pillars erected around the altar.
"Abomination, what's that ball?" Hu Tao's eyes widened.
At a height of one meter from the back of the abomination, there was a red ball suspended, somewhat similar to the core of the dead, but not complete, with some round holes on it, and those dark energies were slowly being poured into it.
"I see, no wonder the mysterious master has set so many traps, it turns out that he is building a real war machine. Homer was happy, "Downton, you've earned your money this time." (To be continued......)
