Chapter 170 The powerful monarch’s ambush!
Two spiritual treasures! One piece of forbidden knowledge!
One of the two spiritual treasures is a pure black cross brooch, and the other is a transparent ring, both of which contain mysterious powers.
Viscount Bester put away one of the two spiritual treasures, the "cross brooch", and gave the other, a transparent ring, to Byrne.
The cross brooch was located in the middle of the three treasures. It seemed to be a very important thing. Viscount Best's eyes flashed with an uncontrollable excitement.
He calmed down, looked at everyone and said, "Everyone has no objection, right? I am the one who found and led you in, and Byrne sacrificed his life to open the door."
"As for this forbidden knowledge, it can be known by ten people, and then it will perish... Who among you wants forbidden knowledge?"
There are two types of forbidden knowledge in the spiritual world. One is the weaker forbidden knowledge, which can be spread without restriction, and the mystery it contains is not very powerful.
The other kind of stronger taboo knowledge can only "parasitize" in the minds of a limited number of people. If more than too many people know it, it will naturally disappear, and even those who originally knew it will forget it.
There are fifteen people left. Excluding the other two from the Lion Family, only ten people choose to acquire forbidden knowledge. The other three will receive a mysterious treasure as compensation after leaving the spirit world.
After getting the secret treasure of the spiritual world, Byrne also wanted forbidden knowledge, so he made a deal with another extraordinary person and exchanged the quota for three levels of mysterious treasures in his collection.
He and the other nine people lightly touched a ball of amorphous light, and suddenly new mysterious knowledge emerged in everyone's mind.
It was a very special ritual spell called "Vision of Arnos", which required marking a symbol on the target in advance, and then gathering several sacrifices to unfold the magic circle. As long as the symbol was not erased and the magic circle was not destroyed, the caster could always observe the surrounding things through the target's vision.
The target of the symbol can be a person or an object, and it is very hidden and almost impossible to be discovered.
Unfortunately, this is not a way to prolong your life.
"Oh, Irene..."
Byrne couldn't help but sigh. What he wanted most from participating in this journey into the spirit world was actually to find a way to help Irene live longer.
What a pity! Is there really no way to let Irene live a little longer?
Once, Byrne also asked the president who had the technology to take away life at the Alchemy Council. However, the president said that he could only seize the life and seal it in a container, but had no way to give it to others.
He shook his head and looked at the secret treasure from the spiritual world that he had obtained.
It was a transparent ring that had the function of storing lifeless and soulless objects inside the ring. It could only hold objects weighing no more than one ton, and the things stored inside would never be corroded by the erosion of time.
It is undoubtedly a good thing. Although it is not as good as the forbidden objects, it can be regarded as a top-level item among the treasure-level objects.
"Huh? Be careful!"
Viscount Best raised his head and suddenly issued a warning. Everyone present immediately became alert, and they soon saw a purple light emerging in the underground space.
At this moment, a cheetah monster made of purple crystal gradually appeared out of thin air.
Its body is slender, with obvious muscle lines made of crystal, its gait is elegant and swift, its eyes are deep and sharp, every step is full of power, and its sharp teeth reveal a deadly ferocity.
"It's a monster that's close to a qualitatively superior level of strength. It can be considered a strong enemy. Let's attack together!"
Viscount Best nodded slightly, gave an order, and stood behind everyone.
The next moment, more than a dozen extraordinary people took action. The one leading them, Colonel Abel Rhine, was an extraordinary person who had undergone a qualitative transformation and also possessed the power of a bronze lion. Basically, he could suppress this monster alone.
Although the cheetah monster made of purple crystal was indeed very powerful, it was still defeated and shattered in an instant, and had no way to fight back against such a powerful lineup.
“Success!”
“There’s no pressure at all!”
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and even felt happy.
Only Viscount Best and Byrne still felt uneasy, both staring down at the remains of the cheetah monster.
The two of them looked at each other and nodded, feeling that things might not be that simple and that the power contained in this palace must be even stronger.
The next moment, as expected, problems appeared with the debris. They actually regrouped and gradually rose again. Moreover, more purple crystals emerged from the broken bodies, multiplying by multiples.
Right in front of everyone, two cheetah monsters made of amethyst with exactly the same strength suddenly appeared!
"What's going on?"
They were very surprised and launched another attack. They finally smashed the two terrible monsters. However, everyone was horrified to find that the wreckage on the ground had become active again!
Even though everyone thought of many ways to prevent the resurrection, there was still no way to interrupt the process!
Byrne took a deep breath.
“Oh no!”
Resurrected again, three cheetah monsters that were close to qualitative transformation, their bodies made of purple crystals, they stared fiercely at the many extraordinary people present, ready to rush up at any time.
Viscount Best said calmly.
"Run away."
"We cannot defeat those monsters completely, and their numbers will increase. The best option is to escape."
Since Viscount Best had given the order, everyone stopped thinking about other things and turned around to escape through the passage, while the three amethyst cheetah monsters rushed forward together.
"hehe."
Viscount Best did not leave first, but stayed here alone at the end, as if to cover everyone else.
"According to the contract, entangle them!"
He stretched out a finger calmly and pointed at the three cheetah monsters. Suddenly, in the dark shadows under his feet, more than a dozen terrifying monsters with completely black bodies and various shapes emerged.
They were like shadows from hell, full of a weird atmosphere. Viscount Best stood in the dark shadows, his face blurry and dark, his eyes devoid of any human emotion.
That old finger was like the baton of death, directing the real evil monsters to easily entangle several amethyst "cheetahs".
"Three corpses of metamorphosis transcendents as sacrifices should be enough to satisfy your recent appetite... This is really a good deal!"
Viscount Best shook his head and turned away.
Byrne had already arrived at the palace with a dozen other extraordinary people. However, they suddenly felt that there was a very terrifying aura just outside the palace!
"Monarch! He is a transcendent being at the monarch level!"
"Why is there the aura of a powerful monarch here?"
Everyone in the palace was extremely shocked. They were so scared that they could hardly move. Soon, the extraordinary people who walked outside the palace saw it.
Standing outside the Amethyst Palace were five unknown extraordinary beings.
The extraordinary being in the lead was a middle-aged man wearing a blue robe with six symmetrical lines painted on his face, and blue flames bursting from his eyes.
what to do?
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. Byrne wanted to step forward to negotiate, but Lieutenant Colonel Abel Rhine took the lead.
“Sir, may I ask where you are from, which country, and are you from Oden Continent? Things in the palace are a bit complicated, maybe we can communicate and cooperate…”
Colonel Abel asked the question with a pale face, and immediately he felt a strong sense of suffocation. Pure murderous intent burst out from the middle-aged man's body!
Instantly, Byrne understood the thoughts of the powerful monarch.
He wants to kill everyone here!
“…”
The deputy leader of the Spirit Clothes Hermitage remained silent. He just stretched out his hand and put on the "spiritual clothes" that were completely invisible and intangible, as if they did not exist in the first place.
He transformed into the appearance of an elderly woman, wearing a black robe and holding an old bronze pendulum in his hand.
"She" just shook the bronze pendulum gently, and an extraordinary person in the Lion Family's team died instantly and turned into a blue light spot. Everyone else was stunned and didn't even know how the extraordinary person died!
Byrne took a deep breath. It seemed that the other party had already prepared to kill, otherwise he would not have given him even a chance to negotiate.
Viscount Best walked out of the palace with an uneasy look on his face. Originally, he still had a glimmer of hope, but when he actually saw the man who was blocking everyone outside, his expression finally changed completely.
He shouted, "Let's scatter and escape!"
Of course he had to run. Byrne immediately used teleportation to exchange his position with the rubble in the distance.
The hunting of the monarch superhumans also began. He stared at the many superhumans who were fleeing in all directions, switched his "spiritual clothes" again, and turned into a bald middle-aged man. Then he muttered something, closed his eyes, and the ground beneath his feet gradually appeared a rotten black light, and he summoned many powerful undead creatures out of thin air!
A large number of undead creatures began to chase the fleeing extraordinary people. In a blink of an eye, two extraordinary people who had undergone qualitative changes were surrounded by the undead creatures and were quickly killed.
At this moment, three cheetah monsters made of amethyst ran out of the palace. They immediately launched a fierce attack on the nearest monarch and bit him.
"Um?"
The deputy leader of the Spirit Clothes Hermitage was stunned for a moment, then changed his "spiritual clothes" again, turning into an orc, and then transformed into a giant beast with infinite power. In a short period of time, he crushed the three "cheetahs" whose strength was close to a qualitative change.
But soon they were resurrected and transformed into four "cheetahs" made of amethysts, which made the deputy leader fall into deep thought.
The fleeing Byrne looked back and saw two knights in black armor riding ghost horses, coming towards him at an extremely fast speed. The strength of each of them was equivalent to the middle level of qualitative change.
