There's nothing worse in the world than guessing the beginning but not the end.

Shen Mu guessed that these fierce beasts sealed by Huazhu were used to protect the temple, and it turned out that he had indeed guessed correctly, but he had wrongly underestimated the intelligence of these spirit protector beasts.

These guys even know how to lure the enemy deep and cut off the back road?

To tell the truth, Shen Mu was extremely nervous at this moment, and there were layers of cold sweat behind his back. In just a moment, six spirit protector beasts jumped down from the Hua Zhu, surrounding him back and forth, not giving him the slightest retreat at all.

The images of these spirit-guarding beasts are different, but each one is fierce and monstrous, after all, they were all fierce beasts fighting against the ancient gods back then, and none of them are easy to deal with.

The fat man was already dumbfounded outside the square, and in a panic grabbed the communicator to contact the Count and the others. However, the speed of these Spirit Guardian Divine Beasts was much faster than his, and before he could press the communication button, one of the Spirit Guardian Divine Beasts rushed towards Shen Mu.

Shen Mu didn't even have time to think about it, he flashed sideways, and instinctively raised his hand to be a divine punishment. As for the difference in strength between the two sides, it was too late to think about it, and he was only thinking about how to get out now.

However, an extremely unexpected scene appeared at this time, it was originally a very random attack, but I didn't expect it to hit the spirit protector beast and immediately hit it, and I couldn't help but take a few steps back.

This scene stunned Shen Mu. You must know that he uses a first-level priest skill! Shouldn't a skill like Divine Punishment be like tickling a soul protector beast?

Seriously doubting that he was dazzled, he calmed down a little and immediately fired another fireball technique. This time, he could see clearly that the fireball hit the Spirit Protector Beast, and it actually blasted its skin open, letting out a painful wail.

What's going on? It's so unbeaten? According to the damage just now, this Spirit Protector Divine Beast is only equivalent to the first order at most!

Could it be that these fierce beasts are all useless goods? Shen Mu suddenly came to his senses, if this is the case, let alone six, even sixty will not be afraid to come together?

Lightning strikes, water guns, and fire...... For a while, Shen Mu seemed to have turned into a mobile magic turret, and all kinds of first-level magic of different professions were at his fingertips, and one person was actually fighting against six spirit guarding beasts, and he was extremely arrogant.

And the fierce battle here also woke up the other Guardian Beasts. For a while, all sixty-four Guardian Divine Beasts jumped down, surrounded Shen Mu inside by three layers inside and three layers outside, and launched a tidal wave of attacks.

Shen Mu did not refuse to come, standing in the center, with fire on all sides, one after another attack magic poured out, and there was not even a trace of cooldown time in the middle. Anyway, if he had changed it, he really wouldn't have dared to be so arrogant. But now there are eight mana crystals, and the 4000MP magic element reserve is enough for him to release nearly a hundred or so first-level spells. It would never be a problem to deal with the sixty-four first-level spirit guarding beasts.

The fat man was worried at first outside the temple, but when he saw Shen Mu fighting a group of people there, he couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief, and shouted: "Hold on, I'll help you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he rushed in. As a result, as soon as he stepped into the square, Shen Mu's side suddenly felt that the Spirit Guardian Divine Beast besieging him had suddenly become stronger, both in defense and in terms of speed, compared with before. If it was equivalent to the first level of combat power before, now it is at least equivalent to the second level.

Although the monsters with second-level combat power are not very powerful, being besieged by sixty-four first-level monsters and being besieged by sixty-four second-level monsters are completely two different concepts.

Shen Mu dared to say that he was not afraid of being besieged by sixty first-level monsters, but if he was replaced by a second-level monster, he estimated that he would not even have a bone left.

"Quit, hurry up!" Although I don't know why the combat power of these Guardian Divine Beasts suddenly skyrocketed, it seems to have something to do with the fat man entering the temple, so Shen Mu asked him to hurry back as soon as possible.

The fat man didn't know why, but since Shen Mu was so anxious to let him retreat, he had no choice but to retreat outside the square immediately.

And the fact was really as Shen Mu guessed, as soon as the fat man withdrew from the square, the combat power of the Spirit Guardian Divine Beast suddenly changed back to the first level.

At this time, Shen Mu figured out that the combat power of these guardian beasts changed according to the sum of the strength of the entrants. He himself is a first-order profession, so these guardian beasts are also first-order combat power. When the fat man came in, the two of them had a first-order occupation combined, and the combat power of the guardian beast became a second-level one.

After figuring out this principle, Shen Mu was relieved. As long as the fat man doesn't come in and make trouble, he should be able to handle it by himself.

But then again, the person who designed this guardian defense was indeed thoughtful enough. With a defense mechanism like this, the more people or the stronger the people who come in, the more they suffer. It's hard to imagine what it would be like for a tenth-order professional to come in and face sixty-four tenth-level Guardian Divine Beasts at the same time, or even worse, two Tenth-Order Professionals came in, and then found that they were facing sixty-four twenty-level Guardian Divine Beasts! That was simply like despair.

On the other hand, if the strength is too low, although the level of the guardian spirit god will also be reduced, it will not be able to cope with the siege of sixty-four fierce beasts.

It is estimated that the designers did not expect that there would be a person like Shen Mu, who could sweep away sixty-four spirit guarding beasts of the same level with only one order. Or was it so deliberate for the designers themselves?

Fifteen minutes later, under Shen Mu's indiscriminate bombardment, the sixty-four guardian beasts all died, and returned to the state of turning into sculptures on the pillar. And Shen Mu also paid a lot of price, he was bitten on his arm, and a piece of meat was also grabbed off his waist. All the mana crystals were consumed, and more than half of the various skills stolen were consumed. In a short period of time, there is basically no ability to fight again.

"Are you okay?" Seeing that the battle was over, the fat man hurriedly ran over and helped Shen Mu. He was in a burst of blood when he saw the battle just now, he never thought that a priest's firepower output could reach such a fierce level.

"The little thing is that all the magic elements have been consumed!" Shen Mu shook his head. The injury on his arm was better, but a piece of flesh was swept off his waist, and it hurt terribly if he moved a little.

"I've got this!" the fat man pulled out a bottle of mana recovery potion from his body and poured it into his mouth.

A single flask can increase the recovery rate of magic elements by 15%. And Shen Mu's spiritual power itself is very high, and the recovery speed is correspondingly fast. In this way, after only a few minutes of rest, about 20% of the magic elements were recovered, and after releasing several healing spells on himself in a row, the injury was basically greatly relieved.

"What now?" The fat man still had some palpitations, and kept staring at the Hua Zhu next to him, for fear that those guardian beasts would jump down again.

"Go to the altar and have a look! I've worked hard, let's see what I've gained!" Shen Mu remembered that when he looked at it before, he seemed to see something on the altar in the center.

With the lessons of the past, the two of them should be more careful this time. Slowly approaching the altar, they tried it several times to make sure that there was no danger before they climbed up together.

It was far away before, but I only glanced at the altar and didn't think anything about it. When I got closer and climbed up in person, I realized that the person who built this altar was too extravagant.

Not to mention anything else, it's just that this altar alone is actually carved from a whole huge black gold magic crystal. A real priceless treasure, Shen Mu and the fat man were so red-eyed that they couldn't wait to demolish this place.

Above the altar is a three-legged tripod. The shape is simple and solemn. The material is neither gold nor jade, nor is it a magic crystal, but at a glance, you can see that it is something extraordinary. If it wasn't really impossible to move, Shen Mu would have to move it anyway.

In addition to this big ding, there are three sacrificial ritual vessels above the altar. A small bowl carved with strange patterns, a pitted stone sword, and a hairpin made of magic crystal.

The two of them are not welcome to these three things. Shen Mu contributed a lot this time, taking a small bowl and a stone sword, and the fat man took the initiative to ask for a hairpin.

But take it and take it, what the use of these three things is still unclear to the two of them, and they haven't felt anything abnormal after looking left and right several times, as if they are ordinary objects, at most, the age is too old. It's not far from the legendary artifact!

But in any case, it can be regarded as a gain, even if it is sold as an antique, it should be worth a lot of money.

Walking down from the altar, the fat man was still a little reluctant. He tried to knock it just now, trying to see if he could knock something down on the altar. But the result was undoubtedly very disappointing, this whole piece of black gold magic crystal was extremely strong, and without great mana, there was no need to touch it at all.

"Don't be whimsical, you can't move such a big magic crystal even if it's given to you!" Shen Mu pulled him, pointed to the front and said, "The place where we came in is the gate, this is the square, and the front should be the main hall of the temple, and the good things should be in there!"

Following Shen Mu's fingers, he saw a huge and majestic palace in front of the square. Palaces in temples like this are usually dedicated to several gods, as well as weapons used by some gods, and so on. If you can find a few in it, it's really a haircut.

The fat man and Shen Mu were both in high spirits, and the huge lure of benefits was enough for them to resist the deadly unknown risk.

Fortunately, from the square all the way to the main hall, there were no more forbidden traps, and the two walked smoothly to the door of the main hall. After going up one hundred and eight steps in one breath, it calmed down the heartbeat, and when I looked up, I was shocked all in unison.

I saw a huge figure sitting in the center of the temple, wearing a suit of armor, like a god!
