252 crystals

Bang!

The huge metal arm collided violently with the sharp horns of the dragon's head, bursting with sparks, and the hard iron armor was slightly dented, but the dragon's howl of pain showed that it had not taken advantage of it.

One of the main advantages of non-living creatures over living creatures is that they are not bothered by pain, and the dragon's wounds are dripping with blood, and the hot liquid leaves flakes of burning blood on the ground like lava, and the dragon roars angrily, but it is difficult to hear any echo except for the cold sound of machinery and the roar of gas turbines.

The tall giant god soldiers are still fierce.

It twisted the dragon's eyeball, and in an earth-shattering roar, one of the dragon's eyeballs exploded into plasma, and Beria Mayil unleashed psionic energy in shock to try to knock out the steel monster or the man on the monster's shoulder, but Penny was clearly not afraid of her methods.

No matter how strange a power is, it is essentially a supernatural force, and no matter what form of spellcaster it is, defending against supernatural power is a basic skill.

With dense spell protection surrounding Penny, it was enough for him to keep an eye on his defenses and break through Belial's psionic blast on the Titan in time.

As for the dragons, no matter how large their flesh and blood were, it turned out that they could not prevail over the same huge steel.

The brute force of the Titan did not suffer, which made Penny very happy, because it showed that his powertrain design was very successful.

The astoners were stunned by the amazing battle, and the two from Serre were fine, after all, they were not strangers to this thing, but Mr. Arnell's heart was extremely shocked.

Although he knew from countless mythical rumors that the wizarding kingdom of the East had created some great creations, he had never seen them with his own eyes, and he certainly could not imagine the power of such creations.

When he saw this huge ancient dragon become bloody and miserable under the ravages of the iron giant, he could only continue to swallow saliva to suppress the heart that almost jumped out of his throat.

He forced himself to turn his attention awayβ€”it was obviously unsafe to be in a daze at this time, but he saw that behind the stone next to him, Nephis was holding a large tube longer than her body, and aimed the mouth of the pipe with one eye at the red dragon entangled with the giant god soldier.

"Hey, what are you going to do, little one?" Arnell's eyelids jumped.

"Shoot it. Nephies muttered muttered, gently moving the barrel of the gun resting in the hollow of the stone, and muttered again, "Kill it." ”

The rough arm armor of the file, which is usually specially polished, slashed across the dragon's neck, and several bloody dragon scales fell from the friction, and the dragon was struck again and again, and the anger boiled over and terrified.

It was covered in blood and panting, and some of the dents in the tin can on the other side didn't seem to interfere with its movements.

The roar of the gas turbine is still harsh.

The dragon leaned down, its only remaining eye staring at its opponent warily and fearfully, its four paws moving backwards step by step.

"This stupid lizard!" said the angry curse of the dragon's master, and Beria looked at the bravado of the steel monster in annoyance, and the shock and anger in his heart still did not subside, let alone give up.

"To continue or to leave, there is no third choice. Noticing that the psyker didn't seem to have the idea of retreating because of the great power of the giant god soldier, Penny spread out his hands indifferently: "I think I've shown you how difficult I am, if you want to go against me, be sure to be mentally prepared." ”

"Yo, I haven't heard of this level of threat for a long time, should I say you're too proud?" A flash of anger flashed in the depths of her pupils, and she changed her eyelids to a smile: "But you don't have the capital to say this kind of language, well, it's just to play with you, this big lizard is just a toy." ”

Her expression gradually became cold, and a dazzling light pattern shone on her body, converging into a beam of light from behind into the dragon's head, and the cowardice in the red dragon's single eye suddenly disappeared in a burst of chaos, and turned into madness, it let out a long howl, a huge dragon breath scented the head of the giant god soldier, and at the same time, half of the giant's upper body was under the splash range of this dragon breath, and the protective shield that was opened did not let the giant god soldier and the wizard on its shoulder suffer any damage, but the next moment, with the footsteps of the shaking hall, the dragon's bloody mouth was already close in front of him。

Ga!

With a loud bang, the giant's arm was around the red dragon's neck, and the other hand removed a huge iron plate as a shield from behind his back, and struck it the red dragon's jaw, successfully stopping the attack, but the red dragon, which had been driven crazy by psionic catalysis, obviously did not give up, it launched another attack, Penny quickly gave the order, the giant's claws grabbed the red dragon's thick neck, and pressed down fiercely, and its head was pressed to the ground with amazing force.

The breath that erupted from the dragon's nostrils blew dust from the ground like an astonishing storm, and it spread its claws and roared incessantly, resisting the pressure of the giant soldiers.

The psionics had already broken away from the bumpy dragon's back and floated aside, the light around her fading under her gaze of meditation, apparently channeling powerful spells.

At this moment, a huge explosion and smoke came from behind the stone in the corner of the hall, and as soon as the light erupted from the center of a huge tube, the psyker opened her eyes suddenly, and she caught the essence of the inverted lightβ€”a sharpened Adamantite Shuttle, which was pushed to a very high speed by some kind of power, and flew towards the side of the dragon's back, and the sharp shuttle broke through the dragon's scales and heavy dragon skin without hindrance, and spun into it, and the red dragon's body trembled at this moment, and let out a desperate roar.

Belia's forehead was bruised, and she could see a huge nugget of adamantite gold rolling inside the dragon's body, churning its entrails into minced flesh, and drilling a hole on the other side of the dragon's spine that was ten times larger than the entrance, spurting out with an astonishing stream of blood, staining the roof of a small cave a blood-red.

Her gaze fell behind the stone, and she realized how undeserved it was to underestimate a small child.

But it was clearly not the right time for her to hesitate, as the giant claws of the Titan Soldier had already grabbed at her body at an extremely fast speed.

Since there has been friction with this mysterious guy, it has become an enemy, and if the enemy of this level is not decisively eradicated, it will definitely leave a lot of trouble.

After the training of the first half of her life, the current wizard is very conscious in this regard, although she is curious about many things in her, but as a wizard, Penny does not lack the means to dig up information from the mouths of dead people.

The huge steel arm was heavy, but it was definitely not slow, and when Beria reacted, the giant hand was already close in front of her, she let out a scream, and her body retreated a few feet, the giant hand did not fall short, two huge fingers bounced on her body, she let out a scream, spitting a large amount of blood and tumbling and falling to the side of the wall.

The Titan spread his claws and crushed her body into the wall like a fly.

She opened her eyes, and through the cracks between the titan soldiers' fingers, a turquoise gaze fell on Penny's face, and a smile bloomed on her lips again.

"It's not that easy, wizard, but I remember you, we'll see. ”

As this passage entered Penny's ears, Belial's body gradually disappeared in place, and a familiar small box fell from her hand, Penny's eyelids jumped violently, and he hurriedly jumped off the giant god soldier with flying magic, and when he passed the boulder, he scooped up Nephies and Lanny, and ran towards the entrance of the cave quickly.

Although he didn't know what was coming, he also knew that the catastrophe was coming, Arnell scolded angrily, and followed Penny into the entrance of the corridor, a darkness filled the space behind him shortly after he arrived at the entrance, he shuddered, and crawled to Penny's side with his hands and feet: "Oh my God, it turns out that this is what destroyed the Waterdeep City Association." ”

Nephies and Lannie's faces turned pale, and Penny took two deep breaths, "Don't be stunned, I feel something is wrong." ”

"What's wrong?" Lannie wiped her forehead.

"My lord, we can't go back through the one-way teleportation array, but the hall ahead has been destroyed, how do we continue to go down?" Nephies thought for a moment, a hint of panic on her face.

At this moment, the darkness from the black hole bomb dispersed, and several people looked blankly at the broken tunnel in front of them, which was already a hollow in front of them, and below, sporadic lights appeared intermittently, and several people cautiously leaned over, and the expressions on their faces were suddenly replaced by amazement.

A huge labyrinth.

The ground on this floor was blown through, and a deeper layer appeared in the field of vision of several people.

The glittering walls illuminated the general outline of the labyrinth, and countless bones and treasures could be seen scattered among them, and Arnell sighed like a mountain of precious metals and precious stones: "The reptilian reigns supreme, and it attracts so many adventurers every year, and it is not for nothing, I have to be glad that I still remember the monsters here." ”

He shrugged his shoulders, as far as he could see, next to the eye-catching treasures and dead corpses, there were the same number of monsters, undead creatures, elemental creatures, aquatic creatures, wurms, and in a labyrinth that was not very large, you could see almost all kinds of monsters in the multiverse, and there were some monsters that did not exist in the multiverse - you must know that Lord Helast's favorite thing to do is to go in and out of other planes of the multiverse and collect all kinds of monsters to fill his lair.

All the corpses scattered throughout the labyrinth are the work of these monsters.

"We have to stay hidden. Arnell took a breath and touched the talisman on his chest, his body disappearing into the darkness, and Penny nodded, turning on invisibility as well.

"My lord, where shall we go next?" Nephies looked across the corridor - as the hall collapsed, the opposite corridor had been buried in a cloud of dust and rubble, and it was clear that Lady Beria did not want her pursuers to follow her along the way, and the little girl looked at Penny, and then at the labyrinth on the next floor: "Do you want to fly down?"

This seems to be the only remaining solution that works.

"Wait, don't worry, I've found out. Penny squinted, his eyes kept wandering around the next layer of the labyrinth, as if he noticed something, and the atmosphere became quiet for a while, as the only wizard in the team, in the work of cracking a ** master maze, he was obviously a professional, and the other three did not dare to disturb him, but this silence lasted for about half an hour, and finally someone waited impatiently.

"Hey, what the hell did you see?" Lanny frowned and poked the wizard in the ribs, "If you go a little slower, that woman will get there first, you know, she has the same purpose as you." ”

"Circle. Penny muttered, and seeing the puzzled gaze cast from the left and right, he gestured along the outline of the labyrinth below: "It's a very old ritual circle, arranged in the labyrinth by the builders here, and there are some special walls, which are molded with special materials, you see, those places that glow. ”

Lannie, Nephes, and Arnell stared intently at the glowing walls, still puzzled.

"Pay attention to those walls that are not too bright or too dark, but which shine very evenly throughout the wall, and especially to see that the inconspicuous stone pillars near such walls, through the perpendicular lines of the walls of these stone pillars, all point to a point in this labyrinth. When he said this, several people realized it and suddenly realized.

"My lord, what is the function of this circle?"

"Wait, I'll take another look. Penny looked at the line pointing, a very large pillar, swarthy with no light, "It's too far away, we should get closer." ”

A few people nodded, and the wizard cast a group flight spell and quietly approached the past.

Noticing a few Nightshades wandering around the pillar, they suddenly extinguished the idea of getting closer.

This kind of shadow creature is definitely not easy to deal with, especially among those few lurking night shadows, there is also a huge giant insect night shadow, this is a very terrifying shadow creature, occasionally such monsters cross the shadow plane to reach the main material realm, will cause amazing disasters.

They constantly emitted ethereal and creepy sounds, causing several people to completely lose their approach, but fortunately, this distance was enough for wizards to see the magic contained in this huge stone pillar.

"Their role is to absorb the source of life. Penny's eyes flickered for a while: "Absorb the life force of these monsters here, as well as the lives of the guys killed by these monsters, this entire layer of the underground palace is a huge source force field, a very hidden and insidious setting." ”

"So, the dead people or monsters in here......" Arnell seemed to understand something.

Penny raised his chin at the pillar, "The life force has been sucked away, and through this thing, transported somewhere, I guess, most of the labyrinths here have such devices." ”

"Huh?" Arnell said, "Why is Helast set up like this?"

"How do I know?" Penny spread his hands, "These designs don't seem to be very old, like this stone pillar, which is only a dozen years old at most, so it can be seen that the master has only recently set up things." ”

Arnell nodded suddenly, and a trace of anger appeared on his face: "Ah, this crazy old man, even if he dies, he will not forget to harm others." ”

"Maybe it's for some other purpose, but I feel that by following this root, maybe we can find our way to the true lair of Helast. The wizard raised a finger: "The passage through which these stone pillars carry the source power of life will definitely lead to a place in the end, and Helast may collect and use these source power in that place, which is likely to be his real lair." ”

Several people thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

"That's a good word. Arnell asked, "But how do we get there? Drill through the ground? It's a bit too stupid, we don't have the woman's power." ”

Panny held his chin, "But that's enough for us to know that we might be in the right direction and not run around like headless flies, huh?"

While they were talking in a low voice, the rock wall next to them suddenly shook, with a loud noise, a huge monster poked out of the rock wall, our adventurers were surprised, the wizard hurriedly indulged in witchcraft and climbed to the height, the smoke and dust of the rock layer dissipated, and the monster that showed its true face was actually a huge insect, its body was incredibly huge, only two big yellow-orange-orange eyes could fit half a person, a head could fill half a house, and the jagged pincer-like mouthparts were stained with slimy liquid, which could easily swallow people alive in one bite。

There is no doubt that this is a giant worm of destruction that appeared in Faeron in the wilderness era, I don't know which wild plane the black-robed ** master found such a monster from, the adventurers looked at its body, they were both frightened and disgusted, even Lanny stuffed her head into the wizard's arms, sour water kept surging in her throat, and the little girl shrunk her body between the body of the wizard and Lanny, and she was constantly trembling.

They can't be blamed for their exaggerated reactions, just because the giant bug is even more exaggerated, and Penny himself is a little dumbfounded.

The moment the big insect appeared, the wandering night shadows let out a sharp chirp, the monster worm's head jumped, and the mouthparts were clamped, and a giant insect night shadow was put into the mouth, the night shadow was struggling, and the spirit was constantly decomposed under the alien digestive juice secreted by the strange worm's mouthparts, and the chirping became more and more sharp, but in a few seconds, this shadow monster that could cause a large-scale disaster was eaten clean by this wild monster worm.

The monster worm was obviously not satisfied, and after eating several monsters in a row, it let out a satisfied chirp, and the strange sound of 'quack' was like a dragon's roar, and it burrowed into the ground in a series of echoes.

Goodo...... The mage and Arnell invariably made a saliva-throating sound.

"It's disgusting, my lord, Helast's black robe is a pervert. Nephies said with a sad face.

"Damn, why did we come here with you when we knew there was such a thing?Wait, what kind of eyes are you looking at?" Lannie continued to retch, grumbling and watching with trepidation as the monster burrowed into the ground, only to notice the wizard's gaze staring at it motionlessly.

"Pan, you don't want to ......" Anel also noticed Penny's eyes, a large amount of cold sweat broke out at once, and his finger pointed to the big hole, and asked in disbelief.

β€œ...... There seems to be nothing wrong with it. Penny said, he looked away from the big hole, and met the mad eyes of the people next to him: "You think, that big worm has lived here for hundreds of years, and must have dug the labyrinth almost underground, there must be a lot of passages, and it must be much safer inside than the outer labyrinth." ”

"Much safer? That big bug is going to swallow you in one bite. Lanny sneered.

"I've read a few things about the Giant Worm of Destruction. Penny shook his head, "They go to sleep immediately after they're full, and it's a long time, so we're still safe." ”

"How do you know there's only one down there?"

Nephes's little face darkened.

"Don't worry, don't be afraid, if there are two, we will have time to evacuate. Penny sniffled, the important thing was that just now with the appearance of this strange worm, he felt something on his body move again.

Those two knots belonged to the crystals of Isil Aaron.

After some debate, several people reluctantly agreed with the mage, because it was obviously not a good idea to wander around the dungeon like a headless fly, and the passage dug by the giant worm was not unbearable except for a somewhat disgusting smell and slimy walls.

As Penny thought, the passage dug by the giant worm was indeed much safer than the labyrinth outside.

Penny guided the direction, occasionally went out to test, calculated the distance, and finally after walking for a long time, when several people were almost tired to break their legs, Penny knocked on the moving wall on one side and started the wall piercing technique: "It's here." ”

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, and at the same time raised their guard even more, and after a long distance, they reached a platform.

This is also the place where Penny calculated, where the life source power of the underground palace gathers.

The platform was dilapidated and barren, smelling of death everywhere, and all that remained of the original building was a few ruins, which was obviously not quite what Penny had expected.

He frowned, but his attention was more focused on the air in the middle of the platform.

There, a short green crystal floated in the air, emitting an even more dazzling green light with Penny's arrival, and at the same time, the two crystals that the mage had hidden close to him also began to agitate.

Penny's eyes lit up.

A new crystal.

"My lord!" At this moment, Nephie pointed to the bottom of the crystal block and exclaimed, "Look at that person!"

The exclamation undoubtedly caught Penny's attention, and he saw that underneath the crystal, illuminated by the green light, a small platform propped up by a stone pillar was suspended there, and above it was a coffin-shaped transparent crystal lattice, in which a man with a body covered with a black cloth was lying on his back.

Surprisingly, however, this man was a little shorter than Nephis, with soft curly hair, and when the wizard focused his attention, it was a little boy no more than ten years old, with fine skin and tender flesh, and very cute.

Penny's heart suddenly became suspicious.
