Chapter 31: The Masked Man
Strange to say, the originally extremely tough stomach pouch was completely vulnerable after Webb left, and it was scattered like broken catkins in the wind under the scorching flames.
The group walked out of the huge corpses that had been reduced to dry bones. After discovering that the white bone wall collapsed, a huge crater was revealed, and according to the map given by Weber, I walked through the ancient corridor, passed through the deep and rugged underground labyrinth, and saw the eye-catching skylight!
There is no doubt that this is the destination of everyone's journey, the center of the underground world! Under normal circumstances, I don't know how many hardships and dangers I have to go through, how many crazy tests and challenges I have to undertake, how many corpses and souls will be used to pave the way here, but according to the shortcut given by Weber, despite the difficulty of the journey, it only takes a few hours to trek!
After turning around, Tang Ruiyi and the others came to a dimly lit cave, and what appeared in front of them was a huge majestic altar and four dimly lit half-human-high gems.
The style of the altar is somewhat similar to that of the Wizard's Tower, and there are more than a dozen tall pillars around it engraved with dense Sanskrit characters, and if you look closely, they are all words such as suppression, blessing, and guard, and a tall and mighty figure is tightly handcuffed with eighteen chains on the altar on the front.
On the ground was a shocking white bone, perhaps because the altar had been isolated from the world for too long, as soon as it encountered fresh air, the murals and various weapons and armor on the walls around it immediately corroded rapidly, just like experiencing the acceleration of time, the once famous divine weapon words rusted and turned into powder in just ten seconds.
"Crunch, crunch. "Crossing the murmuring bone road, Lulanco has been bending down and bowing, all out of pure admiration for the sublime.
Tang Ruiyi noticed that something seemed to be strange on a jade platform next to the altar, he walked over quickly to take a look, and found that there were a large number of armor weapons that had become extremely moldy, as well as a group of long-horned demon stone statues with terrifying shapes.
Mojibon touched it curiously, and suddenly all the stone statues turned into moldy mud, apparently, this is the so-called "dark servants", and they were buried with their masters after they were sealed.
It's hard to imagine that these strange creatures were once a mass of living flesh and blood.
This was undoubtedly a wary thing, and under Tang Ruiyi's sharp gaze, he found a few scattered magic books next to a rock, which were also rotten to the point that they seemed to fall off the slag with a single finger, like steamed peas.
He handed the books to Mojibun, who transformed his right hand into a brush (elemental creatures can change their body shape at will) and wiped off the layer of floating earth and rotting wood on it, as if it were cut on a condensed candle, revealing a dense layer of small fly-headed characters, which were tightly attached to the surface of the book, a language so old that even the language of the system could not be recognized, but the identification was still no problem.
[Wind Spirit Magic Book: White item, a book that once recorded the forbidden spells of the wind system, even a magic apprentice can obtain it with a strength comparable to that of a master, because of overuse and loss of all spirituality.] 】
[Dark Vortex Magic Book: White item, a book that once recorded the forbidden spells of the dark system, even a magic apprentice can obtain it with a strength comparable to that of a master, because of overuse leads to the loss of all spirituality. 】
[Rain of Fire Magic Book: Light blue item, a book that once recorded the forbidden spells of fire, even a magic apprentice can have a strength comparable to that of a master when he obtains it, because of overuse, only a trace of spirituality is retained. 】
These three books should have been left by the three great goblin clan grandmasters back then, and even such a terrible treasure was abandoned without hesitation, and the people who can become grandmasters are really as strong as iron.
But if you think about it, how terrifying would it be for the Dark-Descended Demon God to force the Grandmaster to make such a decision?
Not daring to think about it any further, Tang Ruiyi was afraid that he would lose confidence before he saw the enemy, so he threw the only fire magic book that was still somewhat useful to Lilian, and the other two were in "Webber's stomach pouch", maybe they could be used in the future.
There was no sign of Shenfeng and Savaka, they may have been sacrificed by sealing the Demon God, or they may have been trapped somewhere.
Looking up at the center of the altar, Tang Ruiyi found that the entire altar was surrounded by white bones, the outermost dry bones had been eroded and turned into bone meal with time, although the middle part looked intact on the outside, the inside had already been hollowed out by moths, and the circle closest to the altar was a female barbarian who raised a spear and roared angrily, a fairy assassin with a serious face, and a bear man whose hideous muscles were about to burst open.
The face of the demon god was blocked by a high-tech LCD helmet, and it was impossible to see the specific face.
I don't know what the reason is, it stands to reason that with the level of technology from the other world, there is no way to build such a precise creation, but the entire altar is natural, and its first feeling to Tang Ruiyi is that every edge and corner seems to have been measured repeatedly, and he dares to say that even the most expensive lathe can't polish such a perfect thing.
Four large gems could be seen joining together to form some kind of energy ring that locked the altar firmly.
But at this moment, one of the gems seemed to have been knocked off a small piece with a blunt object, and then covered in pale green slime and repaired by the way, but the strong magic could still be felt dissipating into the air.
At this moment, Tang Ruiyi suddenly felt a feeling of extreme palpitations coming from the darkness in the corner.
Before he could react, he slammed Lillian to the ground next to him, almost entirely instinctively.
Then a wave of heat rolled in, and a scorching laser swept past where Lilian had stood, burning the remains of the bear-man behind them to ashes.
"Who is it?" Lulanke roared, and the giant axe strode in front of Tang Ruiyi.
I saw a low figure slowly walking out of the darkness, looking like a human being!
He wore a demonic dark red mask, his whole body was tightly wrapped in a black trench coat, and he held a crystal rifle with a powerful shape in his right hand, and drops of blood fell to the ground from between his slender fingers.
But through the hollow eye sockets, Tang Ruiyi could still feel the extremely evil and chaotic eyes, and in the sunken eye sockets, his eyeballs were actually red!
"You're the masked man that Dong Dong Long said about!"
Exactly the same shape, crazy and desperate temperament, appeared alone in this secluded place, yes, he was the murderer who indirectly killed Dong Donglong.
Anger and resentment boiled in Tang Ruiyi's heart!
"Death Cut!" As if knowing Tang Ruiyi's thoughts, Mojibon quietly appeared behind the masked man, and a purple-red blade slashed at him.
"Dang!" the blade seemed to be blocked by something invisible, and the masked man fired a shot, forcing Mojibon to retreat.
Only then did Tang Ruiyi notice that there was a blurry distorted light and shadow beside the masked man, blocking all attacks, and the source of the light and shadow was a strange machine that was shining on his left shoulder.
[Shield Generator (Black Iron): Exquisite alien technology, powered by high-purity gems or magic crystals, after activation, it forms a magnetic field around the body to block attacks from any direction, and the flaw is that the wearer cannot move during use]
The person wearing is actually a weapon created by Demon God Technology, and the gun in his hand is completely different from the backward history of firearms in the other world. How did he survive, and how did he survive in this isolated place for thousands, if not tens of thousands?
The piercing scream like a cat scratching glass was actually a strange laugh from the mouth of the mask: "Tut-tut, a puddle of mud, you mentally confused angel, an orc, and a strange human, you just beat me?"
Tang Ruiyi suddenly shouted: "Savaka and Shenfeng are not in your hands! You'd better let them go quickly, or else you'll ————"
Before he finished speaking, a laser shot over, and his first reaction was to try to block it with the Force, but found that it was the same energy, although the form was different, but the blocking effect was surprisingly good, the Force and the laser intersected and twisted in the air, and then exploded instantly, and the impact force produced even shook the ground a few times.
"Huh?" the masked man looked surprised.
He looked at Tang Ruiyi, and a line of data flashed on the LCD screen behind the mask.
[Hint: Unknown Enemy Detects All of Your Stats]
Feeling a strong pinprick-like stinging pain all over his body, Tang Ruiyi experienced the taste of being scouted for the first time, and the terrifying strength of the enemy in front of him was definitely something he had only seen in his life.
The masked man wondered, "A meager trace of flame blood, a rough Templar breathing method, and the parasitic ability of the slime monster, it seems that you have also cultivated some kind of strange magic, strange? ”
He turned his head: "Even so, your poor strength is useless, it's better to die obediently, don't bother me to lift the seal!"
Tang Ruiyi said in surprise: "It was you who broke the seal of the Demon God!"
The Masked Man continued to let out a horrible laugh, the hysterical madness that made everyone involuntarily take a step back.
He said slowly: "The tattered seal of the human world! I actually tried to seal the great demon god! It's ridiculous that that little wizard actually made a lot of remarks to me, saying some bullshit theory about the cycle of life and death, and as punishment I banished them to the dimensional realm. ”
"What!" Tang Ruiyi was surprised and delighted when he heard it, happy that Savaka and the others were still alive, and surprised that the masked man in front of him was actually proficient in space spells in addition to powerful equipment.
The Masked Man smiled mysteriously (don't care why he could still tell he was laughing while wearing a mask) and said, "In that case, we might as well make a bet." ”
"Bet on what?" Tang Ruiyi didn't rush to refuse, he calmed down his anxious heart and asked.
"It's very simple, if you can defeat me, I will not only return your companion to you, but also give you a rare treasure, but if you lose———— tsk, you have to tell me how to develop the brain domain. ”
"Okay, it's a word!" Tang Ruiyi secretly thought, if he guessed correctly, the development of the brain domain and the Force would definitely be inseparable, and the Force swordsmanship was a skill given by the system, and he couldn't teach it if he wanted to, and besides, if he lost the battle, he might lose his life, who cares about this little thing?
A sacred and majestic decree was born out of thin air, and Tang Ruiyi did not hesitate to sign his name on it, and the masked man sneered and wrote a line of strange alien words on the signatory's column.
After a strong flash, the contract is established!
