Chapter 104: Iron Golem
Thor Monsters have an unmatched affinity for dirt and rock. And although it couldn't take Ryan and his party through the underground to that place by directly "opening the way" in front, with its familiarity with the environment where it lived all year round, it was still easy to take Ryan and them through an extremely hidden path to the place where the worm walker Kevos rested.
It was a terrifying monster made up of a mixture of maggots and worms, and the only thing that could look like a human was its deformed head that barely stood as a combination of a man and a monster.
Although Kaivos was dead, and his dense feet and shells had lost their vitality, the sight of this spectacular scene still made everyone feel a strong sense of shock.
It lay on a wide clearing surrounded by mud and stone, and as the Thor Stone Monster recounted, there was a community of about fifty humans and Tieflin gathered around the massive worm carcass.
Dressed in strange robes, they prayed around the large insect.
There were even many priests who allowed insects to crawl all over their bodies.
But for them, it is definitely not a torture but a pleasure.
Because if Kevos were still alive, these Kaivos worshippers would often even actively devour the maggots of the larvae of Kevos as part of their prayers.
"It's funny," Catherine said, looking at the corpse of the huge worm as if she were looking at a treasure, "who would have thought that this worm would be so ugly if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes." However, if this worm really possessed powers that were beyond the reach of mortals in the past, it was understandable for these believers to worship it. ”
Ann shrugged, "Well, just by looking, I really can't imagine that this giant worm can cast spells and be as powerful as Ryan said. ”
"No, you're wrong, young warrior monk, when you have enough knowledge to wonder if its past is as Lane said," Catherine's tone sounded excited, "and I've decided to tell my father about it when I get back!" Kavos is dead, but there's still something to study in this body! ”
"If all goes well, this is definitely a huge event that can cause a sensation for us, nay, and even the entire City of Wealth!"
This made the Thor Stone Monster on the side shake his head when he heard it: "I still can't understand you humans. This big bug was sick the first time I saw it. Not to mention that after learning that it is still an 'ancient evil', I want to stay away from them. And what else do you want to do with it? ”
"It's normal, just like these followers want to help Caworth get back now," Althea said, glancing back at the Thor Stone, "I'm not suggesting Catherine to have such a dangerous thought, but I can understand her feelings. Because for us teachers, knowledge is truth. ”
"Okay, so I'm still the same old saying - the more I deal with you humans, the more I like stones. Oh, the stone is on top, can we go back now? ”
"Wait, look at these people and Tieflin," Ann clasped her hands to her chest, "tsk, the pedestrian they're doing is disgusting. ”
As Ann said, the prayers of these followers of Kevos to the Wormwalker had entered a feverish phase.
A human and a Tieflin each took a step forward, and then each cast a spell, each casting a spell on the other, allowing the filthy bugs to crawl all over the other's body, while shouting, "The great 'worm walker' Kevos will finally return and open a new era for their followers!" ”
"See? Athea, Amy," Ann looked sarcastically at the believers, then turned back and half-jokingly, "Mages are after truth and knowledge, but I don't want you to be like them. ”
"Don't worry, Ann," Amy pouted dissatisfiedly, "I don't have faith in such an ugly bastard!" I just think...... It's just more interesting. ”
That's right, interesting.
If Kaivos were still alive, I am afraid that no one would find it "interesting", because Kaivos not only has great magical abilities but also has an extremely terrifying body, but it is now dead.
Killed by a strange mage who may have died or become another being, along with others.
But who did all this at that time, killing an ancient evil creature was definitely an act that was powerful enough to alarm the entire continent, why had he never seen a relevant record in the classics?
Thinking of this, Ryan couldn't help but shake his head with some regret and looked at the sorceress, "I think, Miss Catherine, this thing we saw today should be worth a lot of money, right?" ”
Catherine nodded, and followed the convention to say a relatively low price as a test, "If you measure it with gold coins, it can be worth at least more than 100,000 gold coins, and if you measure it with items......"
But it was at this point that Catherine spoke.
Suddenly!
Below, there was a violent thud in the mud walls around the ground where Kevos's body was lying, and then several places opened from the bottom up like doors, and a humanoid colossus of what appeared to be made of steel stepped out of it.
Iron Golem!
Ryan's pupils shrank suddenly, this thing has a full challenge level of 16, and theoretically its challenge level may be about 1-2 levels more than 16, because the Iron Golem is a magical creation, and they are more like robots that abide by their duties and are not afraid of pain than simple monsters like Thor Stone!
"What the hell is that?"
"How do I know? Hell, they look like they're pretty good, and we've them off! ”
"Don't panic, it's just a moving piece of iron at best, nothing can stop us from bringing back the great 'Worm Walker' Kevos!"
The believers regrouped.
But the Iron Golem was devastating to these Kevos believers, with a full 16 challenge levels, high magical immunity, and heavy punches and greatswords that could be considered magical attacks.
And there is more than one of them.
With the weak magical abilities and physical attacks of these mere believers, it is impossible to do any damage to them.
I saw that these steel golems didn't even make a defense, and let these spells bombard themselves, rushing into the crowd and launching an annihilation in the form of an almost dimensionality reduction strike.
"No wonder there's almost no magic trap here."
"Because these steel golems alone are enough to deal a devastating blow to any intruder!"
"But who killed Kevos and made these Steel Golems in the first place?"
Ryan thought to himself.
But at this very moment.
Ryan suddenly heard a voice behind him.
"Who are you and what are you doing here?"
