……

Knock knock!

The black thing rolled on the ground until it hit the stone wall on the right hand side of the crowd.

Matthew looked at it, isn't this Edson's head?

"You killed him?"

Combined with the gift that has just arrived, Matthew understands the cause and effect.

Leila nodded heavily:

"My name is Lyra, and I worked for the Scourge Order.

"Now I want to talk to you about a deal, and as a sign of sincerity, I'm the first to send Edson's head.

"He is the Southern Patriarch of the Scourge Order, and there are only six other people at the same level as him in the entire Scourge Order.

"By doing so, I'm completely cutting off my path back to the Scourge Order, and I think that should dispel some of your doubts."

Rhaegar gave Matthew a look:

"Beware of deception!"

As he spoke, he raised the big sword in his hand, ready for battle at any time.

Hearing this, Leila suddenly took a step forward, and everyone was stimulated by this, and they were just about to make a move, but in the next second, the Drow warrior resolutely took off all his clothes.

Silently.

Piece by piece of fabric slipped down her ankles.

Everyone couldn't help but widen their eyes in astonishment, what a shocking body it was—

The skin that had been tightly wrapped in cloth was bare with bruises, branding, blood sores, rotting wounds, and sutures, as well as the half-cut breast on the left breast!

This scene makes people feel chilled to watch.

"This is what the Order's men did to you?"

Matthew asked in a deep voice.

Laila dresses one by one with a blank face:

"If it's not our Order, whether I succeed in cooperating with you or not, I'm no longer a member of the Scourge Order.

"His name is Father, I don't know his name, but his position within the Order is so supreme that even Edson has to keep his voice down in front of him.

"I suspect he's the heir of an evil god, and his perversion terrifies me.

"In the course of the last punishment, he even pulled out my backbone—he told me that perhaps it would be better to be an invertebrate to please the supreme being in his mouth, and he asked me if I would like it, and I was completely broken.

"That's why I'm in front of you now, I don't want to face that pervert anymore."

After looking at the other party's wounds, Rhaegar's originally sharp eyes softened slightly.

Still, he asked:

"What do you want to do with us?"

Leila said calmly:

"I swore allegiance to the gods, and now that I have betrayed his order, he will not let me go, so I want to be a 'broken oath'!

"This ritual requires the help of many people, and I hope you can help me share the wrath of the evil gods in the process.

"All I can provide you with is all the information on the Scourge Order, as well as some news from the Dragon Cult.

"If you want to know about the Dark Regions, Black Dragon City, Deep Bottom City, etc., I will also consider telling you as appropriate."

Rhaegar is pressing step by step:

"What if we ask you to tell us the information first?"

Leila said briskly:

"That's fine!"

Rhaegar wondered:

"Aren't you afraid of our perfidy?"

Leila said calmly:

"I didn't trust any of the Underworldrs when I was in the Dark Places, and almost every single one of them was a treacherous, two-faced character, and it never went wrong.

"But I've always heard legends about the surface that the people of the surface are naïve and kind, that you rarely betray your companions, and that you are willing to keep your oaths.

"I don't know if this information is true or not, but I'm willing to give it a try.

"If you end up killing me, it's a relief for me."

Although the tone of these words is very calm, they are very sincere, and people can't find fault with them.

Rhaegar looked at Leewich, who waved his hand.

So he patted Matthew on the shoulder and took two steps back:

"It's your team, or it's up to you. Personally, I don't want to trust any drow, but she may or may not be an exception. ”

Matthew said in his heart that it is no wonder that you can be the mayor of the town, and you can talk nonsense one by one.

Matthew thinks the collaboration with Leila is worth trying.

He felt that the other party was not lying.

But as Rhaegar said, you have to be careful when dealing with underground creatures.

So Matthew spoke:

"I'd like to believe you, but before we officially cooperate, I want to know more: Why are you here, for example? And what's going on with Edson's head? ”

Leila immediately replied:

"After the last failed sneak attack on Rolling Stone, I returned to the Sanctuary with Edson's head, the self-proclaimed god of Midnight resurrected him with a secret method, but also made him a nondescript monster, Edson has always held a grudge against what happened in Rolling Stone, and he even changed his name to the Avenger just to show that he only wants revenge.

"Three weeks ago, Father claimed to have received an oracle from us to rush here and build an altar in an underground cave.

"We later learned that the purpose of this altar was to work with Blinken, a dragon-worshipping cult.

"Just this evening, Blinken sacrificed a strange ball on the altar, and then the evil god behind the Scourge gave him a few pages of the blasphemous book.

"I don't really know what it is, except that Blinken was excited when he got the profane book, but he was almost killed by the blasphemy book.

"I'm sure that Blinken has become very weak when he gets the blasphemous book that doesn't belong to him, and even if I did, I would have a chance to kill him!

But Edson was reluctant to do so, and he had a small relationship with Blinken, so he let the latter go, and of course, it could have been the behesitation of the evil god.

"Edson has the ability to communicate with the evil god, but unfortunately the evil god is the evil god, he claims to be able to foresee the future, but he can't see my scimitar, hum!"

When it comes to the last sentence.

Lyra's tone was visibly smug.

Matthew couldn't find fault with it.

Curious, he asked Leila:

"Why are you so sure that the god you serve is an evil god?"

Leila asked rhetorically:

"Or else? Is it still the true God? The true god is looking for a sorcerer? That's ridiculous, isn't it?! ”

Matthew had a strange face:

"Is that what everyone in your Order thinks?"

Leila nodded:

"Pretty much, except for a few fanatical guys, no one else believes his claim that his real identity is the "Midnight God"!

"According to the elders of the Dark Lands, when the evil gods used to trick mortals into serving them, they liked to call themselves true gods and have their followers sing their praises by the title of the true gods.

"And the evil god behind the Scourge Order, who claims to be the god of midnight, doesn't dare to let us use the title of the god of midnight!

"Only this little bit of courage still keeps saying that you want to do big things, don't you think it's ridiculous?

"If you want me to see, he's not even a god, he's probably just a big demon!"

The phrase "Big Demon" almost didn't make Matthew laugh out loud.

He really wanted to tell Leila that this was actually a beautiful misunderstanding, and that she was really a true god she had served before, but she was forced to use the demon vest because of the ascension of Tianlun Palace.

If the god of midnight himself heard the two or five boys under his hands comment so sharply on himself, he would probably vomit three liters of blood.

This time, Matthew is a little convinced that Lyla is really abandoning the darkness and turning to the light.

He went back and consulted with a few of them, all planning to look around the altar, both to verify Lyra's account and to destroy it.

An altar of evil gods, if left unchecked, can easily cause disaster to the local ecology.

It's not far from the rainforest floor, and it makes sense that Matthew wants to eradicate it.

"Taking us to that altar is the first step in our collaboration."

Matthew emphasized.

Lyra wasn't surprised, she was mentally prepared to do so when she said that the altar existed.

"I'll lead the way, you don't have to get too close."

"The monsters on this road have been cleaned up by the Scourge Order, so you can walk slowly with torches."

As she spoke, she turned around and walked out into the darkness.

The crowd hurried to follow.

More than twenty minutes later.

The terrain in front of him changed significantly, and the cramped and narrow tunnels suddenly expanded in all directions, and then a huge underground karst cave appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

This cave is more than ten meters high, and there are rows of stalactites hanging upside down like a glacier, and colorful gems are inlaid in it, refracting colorful shimmers in the darkness.

Underneath the stalactites.

A huge square altar stands tall.

The group slowly approached the altar, and when they were halfway there, Li Weiqi suddenly sniffed the air with his nose:

"That's where you killed that Edson just now?"

Layla, who was leading the way ahead, turned around and nodded relaxedly.

However, the next second.

In the horrified eyes of everyone, a purple flame rose from the altar and swooped down on Lyra's back with lightning speed!

In the twinkling of an eye.

Lyra let out a terrible cry, and her whole body burned with that purple flame!

That is, the fire of divine punishment!

"Traitor, repent, in endless burning, and you will burn in the flames for forty-nine days, until your filthy soul is completely gone."

A deep voice came from the altar.

In just a few seconds, all of Lyra's clothes and hair, including her hair, were burned clean!

Purple fire jumped on the surface of her skin and leaped under it!

"She's going to die if she goes on like this, Matthew!"

Li Weiqi shouted.

Matthew made a quick decision:

"Leila! If you still want to live, hold the "Oath Breaker" ceremony now! ”

Lyra was engulfed in purple fire and rolled on the ground in pain.

Li Weiqi leaned over, but did not dare to approach, but only took two breaths in the middle distance, relieving her some pain.

Moment of truth.

Leila's forehead was almost wrinkled into three layers, she was sweating profusely, gritting her teeth in pain, and slashed her arm thirteen times with a scimitar!

"I have decided to break my vow, even if I sink forever in the sea of fire, even if I dance on the tip of a sword, I am willing to spend the rest of my life to hate my former sect master!

"I will be faithless, I will be merciless, I will be unkind, I will be unjust!

I will fall into endless darkness, and I will not see the light of day;

I will be reduced to a spurned ghost, and it will be difficult to turn back;

But I still curse everything in this world, and I will eventually overthrow all this filth, and I will eventually be reborn from the ashes—

Oathbreaker! ”

She struggled to finish this prayer, and the damage caused to her by the purple fire on her body was suddenly reduced by more than half.

Seeing this, Li Weiqi hurriedly walked over, separated by a distance of half a meter, and used the aura of the divine dragon to suppress the purple fire for her.

Her form gradually stabilized.

However, above the altar, a faint laugh was remembered:

"I know that you hypocritical humans are not willing to give up even a traitor.

I wanted to let you go, but you gave me such a chance.

You know, the oathbreaker will face the punishment of the gods!

This is a legitimate revenge that even a Scourge mage would not object to. ”

Between words.

A multicolored light lit up from the altar.

"The altar must be destroyed immediately!"

Matthew knew that the Oath Breaker Ritual gave the Midnight God an excuse to exert his power on the Nether, and this altar would magnify the influence of the other party exponentially!

He's actually a little tangled right now.

If Leila is left alone, everyone will definitely be able to leave, after all, she is the only target of the Midnight God.

However, Lyra has a lot of crucial information about the Scourge Order.

Matthew didn't want to let her die just like that, but it wasn't that easy to destroy the altar quickly, especially when the Midnight God was in disguise.

"Give me whatever you want, the larger the volume and energy density, the better!"

At the critical moment, Bobo stood up, and she said loudly:

"What we are best at is making bombs!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and they were ready to find a suitable object for her.

But time is running out for now.

Three rays of light exploded on the altar in quick succession.

The first rays of light scattered like meteors, and then a large number of dense vampire bats flew from the distance of the underground cavern!

Vampire bats were constantly circling above the crowd's heads, apparently waiting for an opportunity.

After the second and third lights exploded, a portal appeared in their place.

Out of one of the portals came several burly and muscular demons with horns on their foreheads and blazing flames on their tails.

There is also a group of petty demons behind them.

Oddly enough.

The other portal was empty, as if nothing had been teleported.

"Be careful, it's an invisible unit!"

Matthew and Rhaegar shouted almost at the same time.

Matthew subconsciously took out the lime powder from his bag, and just as he wanted to sprinkle it in that direction, Rhaegar had already taken out several bottles of developing powder, and smashed it towards the ground in front of him as if he didn't want money!

Matthew quietly shoved the lime powder back.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Rhaegar's developer powder is a real high-end product, with the effect of automatically seeking enemies, and it makes the molting gel in that place appear in one fell swoop!

……

"Warning: You and your squad have encountered a large stream of Vampire Bats (Group Level LV9), Molting Gel*300 (Manifested), Horned Demon Warrior (LV15)*7, and a large number of Bad Demon minions!"

……

Rao was already mentally prepared, and when everyone saw the more than 300 molting gels, their scalps were numb.

Lilac developer powder was sprinkled evenly on their wriggling bodies, almost insufficient.

"Damn it!"

Rhaegar jerked down the sword and pulled out two more bottles with his backhand.

"You drag it first, I'll wipe the sword oil!"

Li Weiqi, who was taking care of Leila next to him, scolded angrily:

"Didn't you just wipe it?"

Rhaegar replied as he wiped it:

"The monster type doesn't match, you have to wipe it again!"

At the critical moment, Matthew couldn't care so much.

As soon as the dense molting gel appeared, he ordered two of his Assassin generals to deal with them.

Compared to living creatures, the undead are indeed better at dealing with molting gel.

Especially Ah Piao, she has no body, and the molting gel does not pose a substantial threat to her, as long as she is given enough time, the ghost alone can kill all these monsters!

"Leave those devils to me!"

Lumière volunteered, Matthew naturally would not veto, and it is not difficult to see from his sprinting posture that this guy has held a lot of breath today and is about to take out his anger on this group of devils!

Call!

Lumière leaped high, jumped over the molting gel underneath, and stepped directly on the edge of the altar.

He rushed to the front of the devil in one lunge and put his hands on the other's chest.

Horned Demon Warriors are also known for their strength in purgatory, and naturally they will not retreat in the face of the provocation of the little human.

He greeted him.

A few horned demons in the back also giggled and watched the excitement.

Then they were pushed by Lumière like a train onto the stone pillars of the altar!

Rumble!

The stone pillar suddenly broke off a corner and smashed on the heads of the horned demons, a few of the horned demons were stunned by the smashing, and the remaining few were very angry.

They reached for Lumière, trying to take him down.

However, the children of the rainforest finally showed their terrifying hand-to-hand combat prowess.

But seeing that his hands were spread out and his claws were waving like cheetahs, after a few breaths, almost all of the horned demons had a big cut in their throats.

Blood gurgling out!

However, the devil was physically strong and incredibly strong, and they just touched their throats and launched a siege on Lumière!

Lumière did not dodge or dodge, roaring and pounced, like a humanoid beast, completely scuffling with the devils!

Behind, vampire bats saw an opportunity and swarmed down.

But they don't know that Matthew has been waiting for them for a long time!

Just as they swooped.

Matthew quickly completed a spell blend with a standard spell move.

……

"Hint: You used a spell to reconcile the targets of "Wild Form (Anemo Pterodactyl)" and "Death Blaster";

After the blend is completed, the "Wild Form (Aeolus Pterodactyl)" will be enhanced to the "Wild Form (Death Pterodactyl)".

Expect your Anemo pterosaur to increase in size, gain +2 intelligence, and have the ability to breath from death!"

……

Although it was not reconciled in advance, the final effect was similar to what Matthew had expected.

Previously, he used ravens and rotten sac control as materials to arrive at a basic template.

Now, although the effect of spell blending is random, there is a certain pattern.

For example, if the wilderness form plus a certain spell type ability can probably give the wilderness form a similar spell ability.

The next moment.

A ray of moonlight lit up on Matthew's body, and in the face of the impact of the vampire bats, he quickly turned into the enemy's natural enemy-

Death Pterodactyl!

Compared to the normal Aeolian Pterodactyl, the color of the skin and feathers of the Death Pterodactyl has all changed to gray, which symbolizes negative energy.

Matthew shook his hand, and a large cloud of ashes fell.

The pterodactyl opened its mouth and breathed death at the bats!

Whew!

The terrifying negative energy spit out from his mouth, and the original death shockwave's critical injury judgment not only inherited the original serious injury judgment when it arrived at the death breath, but also added a trace amount of summary death judgment.

The level of vampire bats is not low, but it is a group level, their individual life is weak and pitiful, and they are sprayed by Matthew, and the bats with teeth and claws are like mosquitoes sprayed with powerful insecticides, crashing one after another.

Matthew snorted into the sky, still dissatisfied, and swept around the ground again.

As an undead creature, the molting gel is not very afraid of death breath, but the continuous severe injury determination still affects the rhythm of their wriggling.

Ah Piao took this opportunity to step forward and harvest frantically.

At this time, a few more rays of light lit up on the altar, and it was seen that there were new monsters to help.

Matthew knew it wasn't the way to go.

So he looked back at Bobo:

"Did you find the right thing?"

Bobo had already put her backpack on the ground and pulled out all the contents at this time, and she said to Matthew with some dejected heads:

"The energy density of the things I carry with me is not enough, and it is difficult to blow up the core of the altar completely!"

Matthew's gaze swept nearby.

Suddenly.

He saw something and flew over to grab it and threw it in front of Bobo.

"What do you think of this thing? Looking at the energy density is not low, this once belonged to a high-level evil magician! ”

He said with his paw pointing to Edson's head.

Bobo was stunned for a moment:

"But I've never tried to infuse people's heads?"

Matthew asked:

"Do you have a better option?"

Bobo looked at Rhaeggar's great sword.

The latter covered himself vigilantly:

"This is not good, this is my family heirloom, and it will be passed on to my grandson and grandson or grandson in the future!"

Matthew also persuaded:

"If there's nothing else better, just try it with this."

"If we really can't destroy the altar, we'll have to retreat."

It is irrational to fight a protracted battle with a true god at the altar.

Even if this god pulls now.

Matthew had made up his mind, and once Bobo's perfusion failed, he ordered a retreat.

He cares more about the lives of the rest of the team than Layla.

Bobo hugged Edson's head and looked left and right.

In the end, he said helplessly:

"Then I'll try, although it's easy for a mechanic to turn everything into explosives, but this, I don't think I can really do."

As she spoke, she pressed her hand on Edson's head and began to use the unique abilities of the Strange Mechanic-

Item Infusion!

Zizizizi!

There was a burst of blue light like electric welding.

Edson's eyes began to flutter out, and strange filth came out of his ears.

A few seconds later.

Rhaegar stood up and said with high spirits, "I'm ready, let those vampire bats come over!" ”

Who knew that before he could raise the big sword, he was pushed behind his back, and when he looked back, it was a panicked Bobo!

The latter also holds a bright head like daylight in his hand!

"Matthew Matthew! I felt that something was wrong, I was staring at it, and it felt like it was going to explode! ”

Bobo shouted a little uncalmly:

"I can't delay the explosion of this head like I can with a normal object!"

Matthew, who was destroying the monster in the air, hurriedly flew back and landed in human form.

"We need someone to drop this bomb on the altar!"

Bobo showed a rare look of nervousness.

"Leave it to me!"

At some point, Lumière had already dealt with the group of horned demons and returned to the crowd covered in blood.

Rhaegar decisively stopped him:

"Leave it to me, this thing looks dangerous, I don't seem to be able to help, just let me come!"

At this time, Matthew walked over quickly:

"Don't play this game in front of me in the future, is there a necromancer in the team who is still rushing to do cannon fodder work?"

As he spoke, Matthew summoned the corpse of a horned demon warrior and made him hold the bomb and walk quickly in the direction of the altar.

The others quickly dodged after clearing the Horned Demon Zombies of the monsters in their path.

Even Li Weiqi followed with the weakened Drow warrior in his arms.

"Are you sure that thing is going to explode?"

The people who quickly withdrew stood in the distance, looking out at the altar.

Rhaegar pointed at the horned zombie:

"Don't you think he's so stupid that he might not even be able to walk to the core of the altar?"

"And there's no way this evil god can watch us blow up the altar without any action."

As soon as he finished speaking, a flock of Infernal Firebirds flew out of the portal, and they went straight to the Horned Demon Zombie, with the obvious purpose of taking Edson's head away from the altar.

However, without warning, a circle of blue light burst out of Edson's skull.

The people who consciously stood far enough only felt a buzz in their ears!

And then there was a whirlwind!

When everyone screamed and fell in all directions, they could vaguely see the stalactites above their heads showing signs of crumbling!

An explosion fell.

The tremor was so violent that the soles of everyone's feet tingled.

Falling rocks caused a cloud of dust.

The ground shook for several minutes before it barely quieted down.

When the dust falls.

Matthew, who was under the protection of Ah Bing and Ah Piao, patted the dirt on his body unharmed.

"Are you all okay?"

He asked, holding out his head.

Bobo, who was covered in dust, was the first to jump out of the corner and respond:

"Good news, Matthew, we managed to blow up the altar!"

Matthew hadn't had time to share Bobo's joy yet.

The next second.

Rhaegar coughed and said:

"The bad news is that the explosion just now caused a massive underground landslide, and our way back was blocked by a pile of falling rocks."

Bobo jumped for joy when he heard this:

"It's okay, it's okay, you can just find me another high-density thing!"

"I'm sure I'll be able to blow you up!"

Matthew hurriedly stopped Bobo's urge to score a brace.

The underground cave is already crumbling, and it is difficult to say whether it will be born or ascended to heaven again.

Matthew first went to check on some of the others, and after making sure that everyone was okay, he was ready to re-explore the surrounding area.

It's just that he didn't take a few steps.

In a pile of rubble, a corner of wood was found.

Matthew bent down to push the rubble away.

The thing immediately revealed its true face.

……

"Hint: You found an "unlocked Atlas Chest"
