Chapter 436: Under the Mountain

In the face of this search team composed of Abyss Court Hounds, Xiuge behaved quite calmly, for him, the Hounds can be regarded as old rivals, and during the Merlin Le Peace Conference, there were dozens of Abyss Hounds that he personally dealt with.

Theoretically, as long as it is not the Lord of the Hound who runs in front of him, then all this is still under control.

However, for the nezumi hunting team he was part of, such a scene was really a bit terrifying.

The moment the hounds appeared, fear and panic spread uncontrollably among the rats.

They have come to the Abyss and settled here from an incalculable period of time, so they are already very familiar with the changes and threats in the Abyssal Wasteland, and in a series of unexpected events, the recourse from the Abyss Court is undoubtedly the deadliest and the most terrifying.

In terms of their own combat effectiveness, the hounds may not be as good as other creations in the wasteland, but the problem is that these "adult hounds" belonging to the court tend to only appear in groups.

The powerful will of the Hound Lord and the court itself will completely control and dominate these hunters, so that their actions will become efficient and orderly, and all the hunting instincts of the Hound will be suppressed at this moment, and only the absolute execution of orders and wills will be carried out.

In this case, the Hound of the Abyss will use its space to the extreme, they can easily find the slightest trace of magic around them and track it thoroughly, while the prey is destined to face a never-ending recourse, no matter where they flee, the Hound will always use their power to drill through any unpredictable corner and carry out a merciless attack.

Although this nezumi tribe has been rooted in the Abyss for a long time, it has also experienced several crises of extinction in the past, many of which were created by hounds.

For the members of the Nezumi tribe, "the dog takes the mouse" is definitely not a joke or a metaphor, but a tragic reality that they are least willing to face.

Shuge was clearly aware of the state of the members of this hunting party, and even the old priest, who seemed to be well-informed and experienced, began to tremble in the face of such a scene.

As members of the tribe that could only keep a low profile as much as possible within the Abyssal Wasteland, all they could do now was to find a way to retreat and dodge.

However, the arrival of the hounds was too sudden.

Even though the nezumi hunting party began to consciously dodge backwards the moment the incident occurred, their magic to isolate themselves was clearly not enough for the keen hounds, and it was not long before several Abyssal Hounds simultaneously captured the traces of the nezumi's magic left in their surroundings.

When the first hound began to bark strangely, the whole search party was injected with amazing vitality in an instant, and all the scattered Abyssal Hound began to converge in this direction, and their figures continued to emerge from those horns, and one gloomy crack after another actually sealed the retreat of the rats.

All they have to do is conduct the most detailed search in the locked area.

Shugg gently stroked the hair on the back of the Rat with his palm, and Snicky was a little anxious in the face of these potential threats, although its body was completely filled with the magic of the Abyss, a strong instinct still connected it to the "kind" around it, which made Snicky very worried about the next safety of the rats around him.

Inside the metal disc, the part of the magic infused by Theseus was still pulsating, and Hug knew that he could mobilize it at any moment.

"Looks like you'd rather have me pull them?"

"The decision is yours."

Theseus responded, "The reason why I have given you some of my authority is only because there are many methods and magic that cannot be used properly...... I'm more worried about you getting into more trouble because you don't have enough hands and feet than if you live or die these rats. ”

The faceless god sighed, "Don't forget, this is not only my 'hometown', but also the territory of that stupid dog, this is just the beginning of the chase, don't take it lightly." ”

Hearing this, Shuge nodded slightly.

Although Theseus did not give a clear advice on whether or not to help the nezumi, the powerful abyssal magic that was active in the metal disc was enough to show his attitude.

Shug turned his head sideways, but saw that the old priest of the rat man from before was looking at him with a pair of green eyes, full of helpless supplication.

Obviously, it very much wanted to be helped by the "messenger of the Mother Goddess" in front of it, but due to various factors such as status, power, and faith, it did not dare to directly state its demands.

So Shug raised his hand, and a tiny ball of magical light appeared from his fingertips and floated in front of the old priest.

"Gather your team, don't reveal your whereabouts, and don't help me, just watch."

In this brief message, there is a majesty that cannot be violated or questioned.

This is an absolute command issued from the top down.

"Yes! Yes! ”

The old priest's gaze flickered violently, and the command from Xiuge was quickly conveyed, and for a moment, all the members of the hunting party began to converge in the direction of the old priest.

The experience of surviving in the abyss made the nezumi react quite correctly at this moment, they did not hide in the rock walls and rubble areas, but stayed on a relatively flat surface, where the nezumi warriors armed with weapons were outside, and the priests responsible for maintaining the magic ritual were protected at the very center.

Although the formation is rudimentary, it is also the safest and longest-lasting strategy when facing the impact of hounds.

Shuge nodded in satisfaction, and then, the gloomy power of the god of all faces, was drawn from the inside of the disc, and a thick shadow suddenly erupted around Xiuge, and in this moment, all the clans and creatures who had been forced into a dormant and dormant state by entering the Abyss Wasteland were now rejuvenated.

The Rat hissed excitedly, and it followed the will of Shuge and leaped out of the magic ritual of the rat people, the long tail behind it began to change, sharp sawtooth and barbs grew from the long tail, and the end of its middle tail even directly evolved into a sharp blade condensed by the magic of the abyss, and the two huge horns on its head also showed a dangerous light at this moment.

Swinging roots continue to emerge from within the Abyssal Wasteland.

As a direct believer in Theseus, the Roots of Destiny reacted directly to this magic and authority, and at this moment, Shug completely took over control of the entire Roots of Destiny, and they began to operate around them as if they were the products of the Abyss Wasteland.

Huge magical illusions that cover an entire area were generated in an instant, and these illusions that directly acted on the level of magic not only cut off the connection between inside and outside, but also seriously interfered with the judgment of every Abyssal Hound.

"Be fast, this kind of practice can easily alert the stupid dog...... Settle the battle before it arrives in person. ”

Theseus's warning came to mind, so Xiug didn't delay any longer, he jumped off the back of the running rat, liberating its own combat power, and then, with the trembling of the thick mist, the tooth of the hound and the pitch-black sword appeared silently from Xiuge's left and right hands, behind Xiuge, the figure of the messenger in the mirror slowly walked out, in its hand, clearly holding a huge magic book composed of black mist, in this book, the record is all the magic that Xiuge remembered.

"Mel, where the is this?"

A familiar voice reached Xiuge's ears.

It was the voice of General Bernhardt, and not only that, but the rest of the Ernst family's will, which had fallen asleep before, was also revived at this moment, but before these old guys could figure out the situation in front of them, they were forced to take over the control of all the magic rat swarms and hurriedly plunge into the battle in front of them.

This is obviously a "battle for wealth", so Xiuge doesn't even need to use too many skills, just with these clansmen who have obtained the magic amplification and the abundant magic power, Xiuge is enough to wipe out all these hounds trapped in the illusion.

However, it was this kind of rough combat method that stunned the "rats" who were busy watching next to them.

After witnessing the pursuit and killing of the hounds by the running rats, as well as the huge encirclement and suppression launched by the sudden appearance of the huge rat colony, the original surprise, fear, confusion and many other emotions of the rat people changed into a strong yearning and worship in an instant.

The prophecy of the "prophets" in the tribe was most perfectly confirmed at this moment.

All the members of the hunting party were now convinced that what had happened to them was the important messenger mentioned in the prophet's prophecy!

Soon, the slaughter directly against the search team was nearing its end, and the battle was over once and for all as the last two cowards attempting to cross the edge of the illusion and flee to the outside world were hooked out of the spatial crevice by the sharp clicera's limbs.

The rats immediately became active, and with Shuge's permission, they began to sweep the battlefield as quickly as possible, as before, the priests squeezed the magic of the abyss from the remains of the hounds and compressed it into crystals large and small.

Soon, the crystals filled the containers that the rats were carrying.

In order not to waste it, a considerable part of the rat people devoured the extra crystals on the spot, and this behavior caused their own strength to increase rapidly, among them, there was a weaker member of the hunting team who burst his body because he couldn't withstand too much magic power, and turned into a miserable mass of flesh and blood on the spot.

The priests had no choice but to stop this stupid act, and on the other hand, with the order of Xiuge, the rats could only reluctantly destroy all the remaining loot, and after using magic to destroy all the traces of the scene, the team set off again, rushing in the direction of the original destination.

Not long after Xiug and the nezumi team left, a huge exaggerated crack suddenly appeared in the sky above the area where the battle had taken place, and behind this crack, countless dark purple pupils flickered.

He was aware of the breath of his purpose.

The breath of the despicable harlequin who has provoked himself countless times and provoked the entire Abyss Court.

However, as in the past, the other party once again left easily after committing a provocative act, and all traces were completely destroyed, even the Lord of the Abyss Courtyard had no way to accurately locate the other party's tracks.

Here, all he could feel was the mark of despair left by his weak sons and dependents.

……

In the distance, the dull whistling of the desire to kill and hunt turned into a magical madness and swept across the surface of the wasteland.

The impotent fury from the "old friend" clearly brought some pleasure to Theseus, so he let out two strange laughs, and then disappeared from Shuge's perception, needless to say, Shuge could guess that this guy had slipped back to experience life with his mentor's shadow.

Of course, it is not easy to ask about the specific details, and it must be himself who is unlucky to ask too much.

Although Theseus likes to spy on other people's secrets the most, if it is his turn to be snooped on, then he will definitely turn his face in a second.

After witnessing the miracle of the "messenger", the mood of these nezumi became extremely excited and excited, as if they had been rewarded and encouraged by the supreme highest, they began to actively probe the way forward, one of the priests organized a special team, and rushed to the tribal settlement, they were ready to pass the good news of "the arrival of the messenger, the fulfillment of the prophecy".

In this way, Shuge continued to move in the direction of the mountain as the rats moved towards the mountain, and as the distance shortened, more details that he had not been able to see before finally came into his view.

The moment he saw the appearance of this mountain peak, Xiuge couldn't help but widen his eyes.

He found that his previous conjecture about this mountain peak was eighty percent correct.

It is indeed not a normal mountain, but an incomparably huge dilapidated building.

Although the surface of the massive structure has now been severely eroded by the magic of the Abyss and covered in a thick layer of white bone remains, some of the smooth surfaces that are exposed, and the strange textures that appear to be some kind of sculpture, still reveal its original identity.

Shug looked up, and he looked at the central area of the triangular building.

There, there was a huge crack that was incomparably conspicuous, and the kind of light that had been guiding Xiuge forward before was slowly flowing from the inside of these cracks, and this bright light was really ...... in this desolate and treacherous gloomy world

Not quite true anymore.
