The Question of the Past - The Lie of the Old Shaman
In the secret room, the special energy fluctuations of the demigod's inherent spiritual realm suddenly poured out, and more than a dozen figures appeared in a dark secret room, "whoosh", the sound of arrows breaking through the air, accompanied by the appearance of human figures in the secret room, countless arrows rushed out in all directions, covering almost all the space in the secret room. [Full text reading]
In the chamber, there were also dozens of dry bones, these dry bones had regained their ability to move under the nourishment of death energy, and the soul fire in their eyes was beating, although they were not sane and were not mobilized to besiege the invaders, but they still instinctively roamed around, trying to find the creatures they hated. Therefore, when the creatures suddenly appeared in the secret room, dozens of undead did not hesitate at all, and rushed straight towards the intruders, intending to use the blood of the invaders to clear the hatred of the creatures in their nature, but they were greeted not by blood, but by an overwhelming rain of arrows, which carried the forest and the power of life to the undead like poison, each of which caused them to let out a roar from the flames in their eye sockets that only the soul could hear.
After the rain of arrows, there are energy bullets, every S energy bullet in the muzzle of Christo's gun will be transformed into hundreds of energy light clusters that seem to be virtual and real under the strange illusion, and each energy bullet that hits the enemy will burst out with powerful power, and every energy bullet that misses the air disappears out of thin air like an illusory shadow, and no trace can be found.
Although the dry bones of dozens of undead look very inconspicuous, they are powerful members of the Three-Eyed Clan during their lifetime, even if they have died, they still maintain part of their strength after turning into undead, so each of them has the power of the legendary level, for the undead of this strength, although the attack of the demigods is powerful and deadly, but because the two attacks are large-scale damage, the pertinence is not strong, so there are still more than a dozen corpses that have escaped the fate of turning into scattered dry bones again. But immediately after, they were greeted by a raging flame, and just after Christo's scattering, Fira, who was dressed in black robes in the crowd, snorted coldly. The ancient staff slammed down, and the darkness of the chamber suddenly shone brightly, and the scorching flames suddenly filled the entire chamber. Except for the place occupied by everyone, the rest of the space was filled with flames, making this secret room that could accommodate hundreds of people become as terrifying as lava hell in an instant.
The hot flames rolled and baked in the room, and all the undead had no chance to dodge or breathe, and the power of death that they relied on was exhausted in a matter of seconds. The bones were reduced to ashes by the flames, and it was not until the last of the undead fell that the black-robed mage once again slammed his staff, and the flames that filled the room vanished without warning as they had appeared, and there was no evidence of any flame-filled place except for the charred black on the walls and the ashes on the ground.
"Prairie wind", a lingua franca with a strange accent, spits out from the mouth of the wolf orc Finch, and the thick totem pole wields flexibly in the air, and the prairie wind blows through the chamber with the dance of the totem pole, filling the chamber close to vacuum with fresh air again. After changing the environment. The old orc didn't end his movements immediately, and the totem pole circled in the air a few times, and finally slammed into the ground. A thunderous roar sounded from under the totem pole, and countless sparks of lightning spread from under the ground to the periphery with the totem pole as the center, and finally merged with the walls around the secret room, turning the wall into a wall of death covered in lightning, and any undead who wanted to touch the wall from the outside world would be electrocuted into charcoal in an instant.
"Good, ten minutes off. "With Finch, lightning solidified the defenses. So that the undead chasing outside couldn't rush in for a while, Kyle waved his hand and said, "Carl, you rest in the direction of the gate, in case someone escapes the net and rushes in, you are responsible for killing." Master Clark, you also bother, although there are not many enemies in the gate in the other direction, but if you need it, you can help guard it, Maya, you can use the Song of Light to restore your strength for everyone. Your Majesty, you ......"
"The call of the forest. Vrard's watery eyes swept over Kyle's face, and his talking-like eyes stuck Kyle's command in his throat, and with a faint gentle smile, Vral softly sang a spell as her slender and delicate fingers flicked on the hunting bow, playing a string of pleasant notes. In the midst of the intoxicating music, something amazing happened, on the stone floor, dozens of vines emerged from the ground as if ignoring the hard stones, entangled with each other and gathered together, coiling to form thirteen vine seats in a circle, but the thirteen seats were reduced to twelve in a blink of an eye, and the vines that made up the lost seats began to entangle again, and finally became like a table, and from the vines on the upward side of the table, many fruits grew with a rich fragrance.
"Wow, you're discriminating against me too. Dilly, who was lying on the ground, screamed, hugged his head and said sadly: "I also want to sit on a chair, why did I have already helped me build a chair, but then dismantled it, it's too much." ”
"Because you're a lion. "Yes, yes, and eleven chairs are enough. "Yes, yes, the rest of the person can sit on you. "So you're not just a means of transportation, you can also make furniture. "Hahaha, in that case, Sister Vral can save a little effort. ”
"Lao Tzu has eaten you. Dilly let out an angry roar at the two little girls of the Winged Terrans, but he didn't bother to pounce on them, just flicked his barbed tail, lay down in front of the table made of vines, and humanly stretched out his paws to pick a fruit and threw it into his mouth, complaining indistinctly: "It's too sour, it's not delicious, whew." ”
"Don't make a fuss, save your energy. Kyle reached out and tapped lightly on the head of the Winged Twins, and in the protest of the two sisters, he motioned to the people who had been hungry for a day to satisfy their hunger with fruit: "I guess we won't have time to cook after we come in, and it's too hard to swallow to eat those portable foods like R-dried food, so I ask Your Majesty to prepare these special fruits of the Lost Forest in advance, the elves tend to use them as their main food in normal times, which is convenient and delicious, and can completely replenish enough energy for everyone." Please eat as soon as possible, even if we use the inherent spiritual realm to hurry, but every time we reappear in the real world, the undead encountered have been significantly enhanced, so calculated, it is estimated that after we enter the next floor through the stairs, the enemy's strength will be increased to the demigod undead, and then it will inevitably fall into a bitter battle, and it is very likely that it will never find such a suitable place to correct it. So I hope you are mentally prepared for this to be the last rest, the next one. It's time for us to celebrate. ”
"When you get to the next time, I'll be in charge of the field. Nelly and Kyle leaned shoulders together, picked a fruit and took a big bite, she ate with the air of a knight. Efficient, fast and polite, people quickly let a fruit disappear in their hands without noticing. After eating a piece of fruit, Nelly continued, "Vlar, you've been leading everyone through rooms along the way, although there are many rooms where battles break out. But we can rest in your realm as we travel, and you have to maintain the realm, and there is not much opportunity to rest. So I'll change you after you go down, and you can rest for a while, so that you can maintain enough physical strength and energy to face our ultimate enemy. ”
"Forget it. Vral's gaze wandered, lingering over Nelly's face, and he said, "You charged the Legion twice in a row when you were outside, and each time you fought until the last knight fell, even in terms of your defense, the impact will not be small. You're a shield for all of us, if you don't look your best. It will affect everyone, so you should rest in peace, I'm not as fragile as you think, and this intensity of the battle won't affect me. ”
"No need to argue. Kyle shook his head and said, "We haven't explored the lower level yet, we are not familiar with the road, and we can't use the domain to take advantage of it like the upper level, so I said that it will be a hard battle after that." Your Majesty, this is not far from the stairs, after this break, let's go directly to the staircase with a realm shuttle. No problem, right?"
"En......" Vral calculated in his mind and nodded: "It's not a big problem, I had to appear in the real world a few times before, mainly for positioning." Now there is only one last stretch left, and I have found my way, and I should be able to run straight to the top of the stairs at once. ”
"Huh?" Kyle's ears suddenly moved, and he frowned and stared at the wall for a few seconds, as if he could see through the wall outside. He snorted dissatisfiedly, muttered a few complaints in a low voice that no one could hear, and then turned around and asked: "It seems that the rest time is going to be transferred to other positions, everyone picks a few more fruits and we will eat them on the way, Your Majesty, you work hard, support the field for a while, and we will rest in your field for the remaining seven minutes." ”
"I'm fine. Vral nodded, and saw that everyone had picked a few more fruits and held them in their hands, and then the field was reopened, and at the last moment when everyone disappeared in place, he saw an arm thicker than the two people combined, forcibly breaking through the barrier of lightning, and quickly entering from outside the gate, only to catch a cloud of air in the end.
By the time everyone reappeared, it was already ten minutes later at the staircase, and as soon as they appeared, countless attacks were already coming. But everyone also seemed to have expected it, and dozens of illusory knights surrounded everyone, blocking all attacks with their bodies. While dozens of knights had disappeared under the frequent blows, everyone had already adjusted themselves and prepared themselves to deal with the enemy's attack.
At this time, everyone found that the hostile undead seemed to have become different from before, not only each one was extremely powerful, but each one seemed to have its own consciousness, and it was like a living person in battle, it would skillfully use tactics, and it would also attack by various means, and even create attack opportunities through deception, which made the pressure they brought a few levels stronger. However, this abrupt change did not have any effect on Kyle's team, and everyone responded to the enemy's attack in the best way possible, as if the enemy had not changed at all.
"Ahem, thankfully you warned me in advance, Kyle. "The old shaman of the wolf clan wielded the totem pole as if he were dancing, but with each movement, several undead were knocked away by the heavy blows of lightning power, and struggled on the ground for a long time before they could barely get up. During the battle, Finch seemed to be getting more and more energetic, and even coughed less often, as if the whole person was getting younger and younger with the battle.
Kyle, however, was a little uneasy, and swung his sword to shatter the skull of a demigod skeleton attacking Finch, causing its soul fire to dissipate in the air, protecting Finch's flank and saying, "Elder Finch, you'd better reduce the intensity of your attack a little, such a high physical exertion is not a good thing for your body." ”
"Hahaha, Kyle, my child, you don't have to worry about it. The old shaman laughed and said, "For orcs, battle is the best cure. No matter what the disease, a good fight can get us back to the best we can be, so don't worry about me. Do what you are supposed to do, and I will do what you command, just like every one of them. ”
"Well, respect your wishes, but be careful. Kyle didn't demand anything, as a qualified leader. He respects everyone's own choices, so he no longer invests too much energy in Finch, but puts his eyes back on the overall situation, and keeps saying: "Diley, spit attack right ahead, Maya, fly up and prepare for the light magic range strike, Tea, you protect your sister, Your Majesty." Kill the two scythe skeletons alone, Nelly, the left defense, Carl, you are in charge of Master Finch guarding the right wing, Miss Mina withdraws, give you thirty seconds, prepare to compress the dragon's breath, Master Clark, three steps to the left. Whirlwind Slash, Kerry, creates illusion mirrors, targeting all the walls of this space. Asker. Asker, withdraw from it immediately, you stay by Fira's side, Fira, give me a hard bang into the stairs, don't worry about the stairs. If it can't be broken, blast it with all your might, and don't let the undead come out of it all the time. ”
As a member of the team, Kyle is still giving orders while working with Nelly to defend against enemies on the left flank. The battle was very intense, but Kyle's every command was just right, and his teammates didn't need to hesitate, didn't need to think about it, and executed the instructions as soon as possible to achieve the best results. After a few moments, Kyle said, "Lady Mina, you have fifteen seconds left, no problem, good." Kerry, attack us, with visual suppression, Maya, worked. ”
With Kyle's command, a light more dazzling than the sun erupted from Maya in the air, and the unstoppable light energy came out in all directions, and the mirror formed by the illusion on the wall continued to become stronger and stronger, and even the enemies of the demigod level would gradually dissolve under such a strong light energy. On the other hand, Kyle and his party, due to being attacked by the visual suppression technique, everyone's eyes were dim, but they were not affected by too much light energy, and their vision basically remained normal.
"Very good, Fira, Aske, withdraw here, everyone, shrink the formation. And the two of you, don't fly, come down quickly. Kyle's voice didn't pause for a moment, pointing to the staircase leading to the lower floor, and said, "Lady Mina, it's your turn, breathe down the stairs, it's now, it's good, Fira, after the breath is over, the ice spell will cool the space below, Nelly, you know, the others will follow and rush down, Maya, you finally seal the staircase with light magic and hurry up, Elder Finch, you use the lightning barrier to make the second line of defense." ”
"Whew~~~", as soon as Kyle's words fell, the compressed breath of the giant dragon Mina also just ended, followed by the cold air flow blasted downward, and a silver figure launched a lightning charge towards the space below. Originally, there were also a large number of undead in the underground layer attacking upwards to block everyone from entering the underground, but under Mina's dragon breath, almost all the undead on and near the stairs were spared, and all of them turned into flying ashes. Ten seconds later, the thirteen had broken through the tightly defended narrow staircase and all reached the basement, completing the almost impossible task.
"Very good, everyone, don't stop, keep moving forward, ah~~~~" Kyle let out a loud roar without warning, startling the people around him, but after the roar, his ears shook for a while, and he nodded: "Straight corridor, yes Nelly, you are ahead, break through all the way, Kerry, the work of assisting in the breakthrough is handed over to you, the marksmanship aiming point." ”
"Very good, turn left ahead, be careful of the attack, Asker, these two are handed over to you, Master Clark, assist Asker in containing those two, damn it, this kind of robed corpse witch is too annoying, Your Majesty, assist Asker and Master Clark. Nelly, the advance speed slows down, the one on the right is handed over to me, and the others follow Nelly, Elder Finch, it's okay to continue to break off, understand, okay, Nelly re-accelerated, the door on the right, rushed in...... No, stop, something is wrong inside. ”
Not only Kyle, but everyone felt it, and a strong burst of energy faintly emanated from the gate, the energy had the characteristics of death, but it was different from the breath of the undead. The door was open, and through it, three men wrapped in black robes could be seen sitting in the center of the room. As if sensing the arrival of the crowd, one of them raised his head, showing a face like a corpse under a black robe, with a hideous smile on his face, and said in a dry and strange accent a lingua franca that everyone could barely understand: "You have finally arrived, Ka, but this is the end of you, and we have been waiting for you here for a long time under the will of my god." ”
Kyle didn't pay attention to it, but listened to the back, in his perception, hundreds of powerful demigod strength of the undead were coming from all directions, he knew that once caught up by those undead, his thirteen people were afraid that not only would they fall into a bitter battle, but they would probably face the danger of annihilation, and if they wanted to break this situation, unless they separated some people, they would break through the three strange existences in front of them as quickly as possible. But another problem is that on the other side of these three half-dead dried corpses, behind a large gate, there was an extremely powerful energy fluctuation, and the majesty and pressure carried in the fluctuation clearly declared that there was a god behind the door. In other words, unless there are enough people to break off and block the undead who are following them, everyone will have to face an unprecedented strong enemy in the tide of the undead.
"Karl, Master Clark, Maya Tya, Kerry, the five of you stay outside the door and don't go in, even if you die, you can't let a single undead spirit enter. Kyle said with a calm face, "The others follow me into the door, and defeat these three dried corpses as soon as possible, our enemy is on the opposite side." ”
The five people who were selected and interrupted obviously had to face considerable pressure, and the other eight who entered the room had to finally face the spirits, and the pressure was just as great, and each side could have irreparable sacrifices, but neither side objected, but accepted Kyle's order as a matter of course.
"I have an objection. The slightly jerky lingua franca came from the mouth of the old orc shaman Finch, and the old werewolf shook his head and said, "Change your plan, kid, I'll guard the door, and the twelve of you will go in, so that the strength is relatively concentrated, and when facing the gods, the odds will be higher." ”
"Everyone is ready to sacrifice. Kyle said seriously, "But sacrificing a member alone in exchange for victory is not a plan that a good leader should make, even if the member is willing." Moreover, I don't think the time has come when someone has to be sacrificed to win, so ......"
"But I have three more hours to live. The old werewolf shook his head and said, "So, let me use the last three hours to defend your back, this is the last glory of an orc warrior." ”
"What?" Kyle raised his eyebrows, his pupils constricted, and his face tightened as he asked, "But, Elder Finch, didn't you say before you came that you could hold on for a few more years?"
"Obviously, I lied before. The old werewolf suddenly laughed, squinting his eyes and smiling like an old fox at all, like an old fox, and said in a smug tone: "It's really a proud thing to be able to deceive the shrewd and excellent Kyle, hahahaha, I have already arranged everything after I came, because I know that I don't have time to go back alive, how about it, kid, there is no way to stop my position now." ”
Kyle's face turned pale, he gritted his teeth and stood for a few seconds, then suddenly his tense body relaxed, revealing a helpless wry smile, and bowed deeply to the proud Finch in the most solemn manner, behind him, everyone saluted the old orc with the highest etiquette unique to their own race. At the end of the ceremony, Kyle gave the old shaman one last deep look, as if he wanted to keep this old face in his heart forever, and then turned around without saying a word, waved his hand and led the rest into the final gate, the black gate, slowly closing in the laughter of the old werewolf, blocking the inner and outer worlds.
