Act Seventy-Three: The Alien Lord II
Many of the palace's beings have turned from slumber to awakening, and many blue-and-yellow ghosts have emerged from the other side of the mural.
Like a devil coming out of a painting, fine frost spreads all over the ground, which is caused by the release of the power of the ghost.
The cold gaze came out of the eyes of these monsters, swept over the eight stone pillars, and then landed on Tang Ze, an outsider.
For a moment, the ghost's gaze froze.
It's like thinking, looking at it.
In less than a few seconds, they looked away, and in some hastily turned to the mural, re-entering the wall and disappearing.
Soon, the interior of the spacious and bright palace returned to its previous silence, and all the pervasive frost disappeared as if nothing had happened.
Tang Ze didn't pay much attention and walked straight to the stone seat at the end.
To him, low-level monsters weren't enough to pose a threat, even if there were a lot of them. Caring too much about miscellaneous soldiers makes it easy to get distracted.
"Huh?"
Within a few steps, the two sarcophagi next to it rumbled open, and the two black shadows inside were like puppets lifted by the thread, and suddenly stood up.
The stench of shadows lit up red, the eyes of the corpses, bloodthirsty and cruel.
Monsters such as mummies and zombies are rarely affected by momentum, and a lot has to do with their low intelligence.
Even though it became more difficult to move closer to Tang Ze, they still unrelentingly stretched out their hands entwined with rotten strips of cloth and roared forward.
“Lv8,Lv9。”
Tang Ze was slightly surprised, the level of these two monsters was surprisingly low.
Bang, surging green mana slammed into their heads, skulls shattered, and their bodies slammed into the sarcophagus, shattering to pieces.
Green smoke drifted around the holes in their heads, and they died very thoroughly.
Tang Ze's magic power has a strong erosion and burning effect, and the effect of the blow just now seems to be small, but it takes the lives of two mummy corpses in an instant.
However, there are many more sarcophagi.
Thinking so, he looked at the dense sarcophagi around the eight stone pillars, some upright, some lying horizontally, and some reclining, and it seemed that each unopened sarcophagus had a mummy corpse.
It's a little annoying, but it's okay.
He continued to move forward, and every three or four steps several sarcophagi were rumbled open, but this time the mummy was shattered by the terrifying coercion when he got up, and the sarcophagus beneath him was crushed.
Boom, boom, boom.
The sarcophagus was shattered one by one, strips of cloth and bones mixed with stone powder, and the ground was covered with hideous cracks.
In the midst of the chaos, Tang Ze slowly walked between the eight stone pillars, a scene that reminded him of the palace of blood at the bottom of the catacombs.
Without much thought, Tang Ze passed by these eight stone pillars and came to the stone seat of the high platform, but he didn't find anything.
At the same time, the spirit of perception gave him a message that there were no other monsters in the area, except for the hordes of ghosts trembling in the murals.
The sand ghosts who carried Keno Delson before, and Keno Delson, also disappeared, leaving no trace.
It's not right.
Then he returned to the eight stone pillars and examined them carefully, the familiarity intensifying.
At the beginning, the several pillars engraved with patterns were sealed against Andariel, so it is speculated that these eight stone pillars may also be sealed with something.
"Interesting."
Tang Ze's green eyes flickered, according to the plot of the game, the Hell Demon King of the Aranok region is the Pain Demon Lord Duriel, but it is not excluded that there are other Demon Kings entrenched.
After all, dark history changed because of what he did.
If there's any secret here, it's probably hidden in these eight strange stone pillars.
Thinking of this, the black qi visible to the naked eye condensed on his arms, and the dark green armor expanded into the form of a giant hammer, and under the weight, fine cracks spread out on the ground under his feet.
Bang.
The giant hammer stirred up the wind and easily smashed a stone pillar, and the stones rolled down all over the ground, and there was nothing unusual in the broken place.
Very ordinary stone pillars.
"Save seven."
Tang Ze was not surprised, maybe he had to smash all the stone pillars to get results, which was normal.
He held the terrifying and monstrous giant hammer high, and the moment he was about to take the next step, the statues in the left and right corners lit up, and a tall phantom holding a weapon walked out of it.
The two horned demons holding the giant halberd, their scarlet eyes were aimed at Tang Ze, but their gaze was very calm.
"I hope you don't."
"It won't do you any good to destroy them."
A wave of fluctuations spread out from their place, it was not words, but Tang Ze could easily understand what they meant.
“...”
Tang Ze looked at the two horned demons in front of him, stopped what he was doing, and at the same time used the skill [Greedy Power] to hit the [Greed Mark] on them.
Lv. 28 [Evil Guardian Illusory Blood], Lv. 27 [Evil Guardian Illusory Shadow: Ashes].
These two monsters are not the same monsters that appear in the game, but Tang Ze still obtained some information about them through the detection ability of [Greedy Mark].
Monsters that have been mutated by a large number of ghost groups, attached to the demon statues, have a special ability to hide their breath, which is why they have not been recognized by the Inspiration of Perception just now.
This level of dark gold monster still has some strength, especially the dark gold monster with ghost physique, even Tang Ze has to spend some effort to solve it.
However, the two monsters did not show obvious hostility, and for the sake of intelligence acquisition, Tang Ze kindly disarmed the giant hammer.
However, the two monsters clearly did not let their guard down.
"Our communication is spiritual, and there is no language barrier."
"I hope you don't continue to destroy this place."
"Could you please leave?"
Fluctuations came one after another, and Tang Ze quickly mastered this communication technique and sent out his own fluctuations.
"What are the eight stone pillars holding?"
The question silenced the two horned demon phantoms for a long time, but in the end, they replied, "They sealed a crack of destruction, and now that the crack has been torn open, you should be able to feel it." ”
A rift of destruction?
Although he was puzzled, Tang Ze did not show it, he sensed the eighth destroyed stone pillar again, and still failed to find any abnormality.
His eyes narrowed, and his gaze was not good.
Demons are good at deception, and that's normal. To get to the truth, ordinary inquiries won't work.
"Deception is not a good option."
Tang Ze's coercion swept over, and the broken sarcophagus around him trembled, as if they were about to be rolled up.
"We've told you the answer."
"Destroying them will only lead to misfortune, and you will regret your decision."
The fluctuations of the two horned demons contained no emotions, too calm, as if they were stating simple facts. It is clear that they are not ready to tell the truth.
There was nothing more to talk about, and the muscles on Tang Ze's side squirmed.
The next moment, green flames ignited on the surface of the demonic scales, squirting towards the location of the two horned demons.
Sensing the danger, their eyes flashed red, and they swung their halberds and swept towards the green fire, and the two made contact to explode countless sparks.
The response was quick.
Rumble!
The fine sparks splashed on the black arms, and soon green smoke rose, showing that the green flames still hurt them.
A dark red light shot out of their eyes, and the masonry that passed through them was scorched.
Zizizizi, zizizi.
Their gaze shifted from the giant halberd to the front, and when they came back to their senses, Tang Ze in their field of vision had disappeared. The cobblestone at the top still emitted a soft glow, and everything seemed so silent.
The two horned demons did not panic, of course, they did not have this kind of emotion, they immediately took countermeasures, leaned down to amplify their perception, and tried to find Tang Ze's location.
Fluctuations spread, enveloping the entire interior of the underground palace.
Suddenly.
A whistling sound swept by, and the pitch-black giant blade cut off the head of a horned demon before it had time to react.
The strange thing is that there was no blood shed, and the severed head of the cow turned into black gas and dissipated before it fell to the ground.
Boom!!
The headless demon wielded a giant halberd and tried to stab upwards, but was crushed by the pitch-black hammer, and his thick legs fell directly to the ground, smashing through the deep pit.
There is too much disparity in the strength of the two sides.
At the same time, another bull-horned demon held a giant halberd high, trying to knock Tang Ze down in the air, but was split in half by the demon phantom behind him, and failed to make any resistance moves.
The dark cracks even spread to the stone pillars.
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
The dark green pattern on the hammer swelled with flames, and after a few hammers, it smashed the kneeling headless monster into black gas and dissipated.
In less than half a minute, the two horned demons were a little slower than expected, and their ghost physique became a shortcoming.
Tang Ze stepped on the hideous cracks all over the ground, and the two huge gray qi were swallowed by the dark green armor, and the experience bar rose slightly.
reached 27% of Lv22, which is not worth the trip.
With a click, there was a sound, and the emerald eyes of the two statues in the corner dimmed, shattered into ordinary stones, and fell to the ground.
At the same time, the large group of ghosts hidden in the mural are also wailing and dissipating, and they seem to have some mysterious connection with the two horned demons.
Soon, a large amount of gray gas poured out of the wall, and all these experience points were taken away by Tang Ze.
"It looks like the stone pillar is just a façade."
Tang Ze glanced at the remaining seven stone pillars and guessed like this.
No matter how you look at it, there is nothing unusual about the stone pillars, and the two horned demons may not be able to tolerate his destruction of the palace.
And to prove the idea ...
The dancing black hammer swept away the pillars, and as he expected, nothing happened.
However, the palace showed no signs of collapse, which made him admire the stability of the place. Without staying long, Tang Ze left here and returned to the ground the same way.
It's strange that he lost the team of sandghosts who were carrying Keno Delson away. But he was also sure that there was nothing left to investigate beneath the ruins.
The sun was dazzling, and it was already morning.
"Master."
The head of [Methyl Poison] emerged from the sand pile next to it, and it reported the situation, and during the time it was guarding Philon, it did not find anything abnormal.
"It's terrible."
Although Tang Ze was satisfied with the performance of [Nail Poison], he found it difficult to understand the fact that he had lost Keno Delson and several ghosts.
The moment you entered the palace, you used teleportation, or something else?
If the few dark gold banishes who are good at magic are here, they may be able to find some clues, Tang Ze was a little big for a while.
Should the servants of Canduras be called? After summoning [Armor Poison], its current minion quota is full.
"I'll have to follow the clues to find out about this."
Tang Ze looked at Fei Lun, who was still unconscious on the side of the greenstone poplar, and thought.
The two horned demons in the underground palace are not simple, in short, this matter is worth paying attention to. And there are no clues to follow at the moment, so it may be a good choice to start with this human being.
But how do you do that?
···
Wind sand, wind and sand that obscures the sky.
Originally, he was going to the ruins with Keno Delson, but he was attacked by the wind and sand, and there were some monsters.
Philon's memory stayed here, feeling the heat on his face, and suddenly opened his eyes.
"Hmm, damn it."
"What's wrong with me?"
The sun was a little dazzling, and he pinched a handful of sand, threw it away, leaned against the greenstone poplar next to him, and pulled his hair with his hands in some pain.
"It's... Got Separated from Keno Delson? Windy sand..."
"But where is this, damn it, did I get here by the wind and sand."
As his memory gradually recovered, he touched the potion in his arms with some vigilance, and the objects on his body were quite a lot.
It was important to return to camp now, he thought with a frown.
Keno Delson and those soldiers are gone, which is a terrible thing, not to mention Keno Delson's status in this area, he has nothing to do with it.
Hopefully, nothing happened to him and the soldiers, and they had returned to the camp after the sandstorm.
Otherwise, he would be in a bad situation.
Soon, he adjusted his condition and prepared to pick up some props to find his way back to camp. I don't know if it was intuition or what, he quickly set a direction and moved forward without hesitation.
Aranok fringe area, camp.
No one expected that a few hours after the team left, one person would return.
Feron, who managed to return to the camp, failed to find any trace of Keno Delson, and could not even see the shadow of the soldiers, so he could only lie to the residents.
But the lie can't last long.
"It's weird, there's a lot of doubt about this... What the hell is going on? ”
Philon squinted, his brow furrowing tighter and tighter.
"We need to get out of this place quickly, the deal worked out anyway, Philon, I'm glad you returned safely."
The woman next to him gave him a hug, her beautiful eyes sparkling.
Then, Philon looked at the bag in the corner of the tent, which was the money Keno Delson had left behind to buy weapons.
But now, they are missing, and although they have left behind their money, their weapons are still on the stretcher.
"I can't be a robber... And it's hard to get rid of it. ”
Philon sighed.
Keno Delson was clearly acting on orders, and if he returned to Vosar with money and weapons, I am afraid that in a few years there would be some mess of charges falling on his head.
He didn't want himself and his woman to be sued by a group of officials and be saddled with a black pot.
