Chapter 209: Pitted by the Empire
The Golden Stone Giant is a monster at the pinnacle of the seventh order.
Being able to block the siege of two eighth-order masters mainly relied on its super defense. That layer of hard gold rock shell can effectively absorb fighting energy and magic. This is the characteristic of the Golem series of monsters, plus Sean and Lan Fengyue have reservations, and they have not used their hole cards, so the Golden Golem can stalemate the battle.
If there are no accidents, the next plot that should be staged is that the two eighth-order masters fought hard and finally defeated this golden stone giant. Then, they were able to open a passage to the upper echelons of Sky City.
But the reality is that the Golem played a little joke on them.
After more than a dozen punches in a row, he was always unable to hurt the two people around him, and the Golden Stone Giant was a little embarrassed. With a flick of its thick upper arms, it summoned three destructive spurs in front of it. After avoiding Lan Fengyue, its body flashed with golden light, and its upper arm slapped the ground hard, and its whole body seemed to have turned on a rocket booster, and it slammed into Sean on the other side.
In front of its huge size, even a building is estimated to be blown down.
As a mage, Sean certainly wouldn't resist. The moment the Golden Golem turned around, his body floated slightly, and then quickly moved five meters, calmly dodging the collision. However, the unexpected happened at this moment.
The body of the Golden Golem was too heavy, and the speed of the collision was extremely fast, and it was very troublesome to stop under the action of inertia. With this rush, he rushed out of dozens of meters, and even crashed directly into the dragon crowd besieging the black-armored guards. Under the sheer disparity in size and strength, the unsuspecting dragons were knocked out like hairballs. The other monsters in the vicinity were also startled by the Golden Golem and subconsciously got out of the way.
By this time, the goldstone giant barely stopped his body, turned around and took heavy footwork, and rushed towards Sean again.
However, the dragonmen who surrounded the black-armored guards left a big gap because of this.
Lan Fengyue only brought twenty black-armored guards, and there were obviously smart people among the other four companions. Seeing a rare opportunity appear, he made a decision in an instant and greeted him. The next moment, Lu Chengfeng saw that twenty well-trained guards were covering each other and forcibly rushing out from the gap. Under the cover of several stronger black-armored guards, they fought and retreated, and rushed towards the golden gate as quickly as possible.
They're going to get rid of the Mage Guild people!
Lu Chengfeng saw their thoughts at a glance, but he was helpless. The Goldstone Golem's inadvertent collision created a perfect opportunity for the black-armored guards. Instead, the Overseers of the Mage's Guild were trapped and couldn't stop them.
In just a dozen seconds, the black-armored guards rushed to the golden gate.
At this time, Lan Fengyue didn't bother to pay attention to the Golden Stone Giant. He did his best to strike a ten-zhang long sword qi to forcibly force the Golden Stone Giant back, and then turned around and flew away, throwing this mess to Sean!
Anyway, the Golden Stone Giant is just a seventh-order peak monster, and Sean is an eighth-order, as long as he is willing to work hard, he can win it even if he goes head-to-head, and the most difficult breakthrough can always be done. As long as he is not dead, Lan Fengyue has the support of the Lanwu Empire behind him, and he is not afraid of the Autumn Queen's account of the Mage Guild at all.
"Let's go first, you guys can have some fun with these guys!"
Seeing Sean, who was furious but didn't dare to really turn his face, Lan Fengyue laughed, waved his hand vigorously at him, and then entered the light curtain behind the golden gate with his subordinates. Having lost their target, the monsters chasing them only stopped for a moment, then reversed their target and surrounded them towards Lu Chengfeng.
"Damn Imperial lackeys!"
Seeing that the previously stable situation suddenly became critical, Sean scolded angrily, but he was helpless.
Behind Lan Fengyue is the Lan Wu Empire, and Sean is just an eighth-order mage, so he really doesn't dare to do anything to him. Even if he wanted to chase after him, he was pinned down by the Golden Golem and more than a dozen of his colleagues who were trapped. Depressed, he could only scold a few times, and then vent all the anger in his heart on this golden stone giant.
Lan Fengyue is gone, so that while he has one less powerful help, he can also let go and do it without scruples.
It's been a long battle.
Perhaps it was because Lan Fengyue and they attracted their attention, and then there were no new monsters pouring out from behind the golden gate, which was probably the only good news. On the basis that the monsters had no reinforcements, Lu Chengfeng and the others fought hard for nearly half an hour, and finally eliminated these monsters one by one. At this time, some low-strength mages had already emptied their magic power and had to sit on the ground to meditate and recover.
On the other side, after a long magical bombardment, the Golden Golem was finally scarred and finally defeated.
In this battle, Sean finally showed his strength as an eighth-order mage, and all kinds of powerful magic bombarded back and forth. Even though he was superior in strength, he had to stop his actions with a pale face and meditate with the other mages.
Among the people present, the only one who still has combat power is Lu Chengfeng.
The strength of the Infinite Frost Fighting Qi, coupled with the assistance of the Song of Spiritual Energy, allowed Lu Chengfeng to fight almost infinitely. As long as there is physical strength and energy, vindictiveness is never a problem. However, in this case, he did not stand out, but sat down with him. After resting for about two or three hours, everyone gradually regained their combat strength and regrouped.
Sean, who was ordered to keep an eye on him, couldn't wait and began to urge his men to go.
was put in such a way by Lan Fengyue, which made them at least three hours late. Sean, who was eager to prove himself, couldn't tolerate failure, so without waiting for all his magic to recover, he took the lead and walked into the golden gate early. This was the first time they had set foot in Sky City since the Mage Guild took over.
Through that light curtain, Lu Chengfeng and the Liu family sisters appeared on the one hundred and first floor.
It's a very different world.
There were no large monsters or corpses as I imagined, and there was no wide space, but instead there were three identical forks in the road. A mage summoned a flying beast to investigate, and found that the fork in the road was very long, and it might not lead to the same road in the end.
This made Sean and the mages worried.
Lan Fengyue didn't leave any traces, and from here, it seemed that they couldn't find anything useful. Sean hesitated for a moment, and finally made the decision to split up and pursue. If you find a dead end in any way, you can go back the way you came, and start the pursuit from here.
There was no way around it, and the other mages didn't have any opinions.
However, there was a bit of disagreement among the mages on how to group them. Everyone knows that following an eighth-order mage Sean in a group is theoretically the safest. Therefore, most of the mages took the initiative to look at him, hoping that Sean would call his name. However, after Sean chose the two of them at random, he looked at Lu Chengfeng.
Still thinking about my brother?
Lu Chengfeng frowned and immediately responded. Without waiting for Sean to speak, he took the initiative to take the hands of the Liu family sisters and said, "Let's go to the fork on the right in a group." ”
Lu Chengfeng spoke first, allowing Sean to swallow back the words that came to his mouth. His face was impassive, but his heart was a little annoyed. However, he couldn't think of any reason for Lu Chengfeng to follow him, so he could only point to the two of them at random and walked into the fork in the middle.
A few mages who were not selected let out a faint sigh of disappointment.
Now that Sean is gone, it doesn't matter if the rest of the people are grouped. Soon, Lu Chengfeng and the sisters of the Liu family took two mages and walked into the fork on the right side together.
I don't know if there are no monsters here, or if Lan Fengyue and they took this fork in the road, in short, Lu Chengfeng and the Liu family sisters went all the way without seeing any traces of battle, and they were not blocked. After advancing for about a thousand meters, they roughly reached the center of this level, and the vision of several people suddenly brightened.
It's a patio-like place.
In front of them, side by side, stood a row of Optimus pillars. The two men hugged the thick pillars, starting at the level beneath their feet and spreading all the way to the endless zenith. On top of this pillar, there is also a stone platform that is large enough for more than ten people to stand side by side and move up and down freely. On the stone platform, there are also two dazzling manipulation magic arrays.
Lu Chengfeng looked at it for a moment and figured out its purpose, which was a ladder that allowed them to be sent vertically to the higher levels of Sky City.
Next to this row of columns, there is a long inclined folding stone staircase. If you don't want to make a ladder, you can climb up from here little by little. Lu Chengfeng and the sisters of the Liu family obviously didn't want to be so troublesome, and after looking at it for a while, they felt that there was no danger, and then walked up to the stone platform leaning on the pillar.
After the five of them stood firmly, Lu Chengfeng activated the magic array, and the stone platform ran steadily and lightly along the pillar.
This speed is much faster than under the 100th floor!
Feeling the rapid rise in height, Lu Chengfeng and the sisters of the Liu family had some expectations. The goal of everyone is to reach the top of the castle in the sky. If you can avoid pointless battles, it's best of luck. Lan Fengyue, who went towards the gravityless fragments, would inevitably choose to climb it directly if he also found this stone ladder.
Five minutes passed quickly.
The operation of the stone elevator is very stable, according to Lu Chengfeng's estimate, it can lift at least 300 meters per minute. At this time, standing on the stone platform and looking down, there was already a small piece under his feet, and he was bottomless. There was still no end in sight to the words on the head, which made several people guess the true height of Sky City. Looking to the sides, you can see the layers of trestles that have been thrown at your feet, and the monsters that exist on those layers. If it weren't for the stone ladder, they would have to talk for at least a few more days if they wanted to defeat the monsters on the road! However, the stone ladder was not completely safe. Occasionally, flying monsters such as pterosaur monster birds will be bold enough to chase after them and attack them.
