The horror of trolls is recorded in many ancient mythological texts, but most of them are extremely primitive records, such as information about totems, tribes, cannibalism, shamans, and rituals, and are also fabricated and subjective by the writers.
Therefore, humans on Earth don’t know much about the monsters of Avalon. They only know that they are creatures with extraordinary powers and their number far exceeds that of humans. Other things such as civilization, social structure, and power system are all vague mysteries.
It was the first time for the senior officials of Luogong City and the outsider Bai Shiying to encounter such a powerful troll who possessed technology beyond that of humans.
Lin Chen and the others were fine, but Bai Shiying had fought against different monsters in Avalon, but this was the first time he encountered a troll that could suppress him.
Whether it was technological means or combat skills, the opponent was extremely sophisticated, representing the wisdom of a higher civilization, which formed a sharp contrast with the seemingly crude weapons and tattered animal skins.
The more she fought, the more frightened she became.
"When a Force user reaches the Netherworld, their soul merges with the realm, becoming virtually immortal. But in reality..."
"The domain is not invincible. When facing an enemy of the same level or even stronger, both the domain and the soul will be gradually worn down."
"When a domain is completely worn out, the soul is completely shattered, leaving no chance for reincarnation. It's a death that can't be further dead. Although I've condensed concepts and my soul is larger than that of an average Netherworld expert, there's a limit to it."
When Bai Shiying's body was smashed for the ninth time, she finally stopped confronting the purple-eyed troll head-on and chose to withdraw.
Her hands emitted a white light, and a large number of white bones and corpses floated between her fingers. Then she suddenly tore forward, and the large area of space around her was torn apart by her, causing the troll's sledgehammer to deflect directly past her.
He tapped his toes back a few times and his body disappeared from where it was.
"Archon Lin Chen, I can't help you protect Fengchuan Palace." Bai Shiying retreated to Lin Chen's side and repelled the other two trolls that were approaching. Then she looked at Lin Chen with great disappointment: "This purple-eyed troll is too powerful. It has a secret amplification treasure on it that can increase its strength for a long time, but my bloodline power cannot maintain it, so..."
"I'm sorry."
She was not a high-ranking official in Luogong City, nor was she even an ordinary legal citizen. At best, she was just an outsider wanted by all mankind.
Having consumed half of her soul, Bai Shiying has become extremely weak. This is a very dangerous threshold. If she continues like this, although she can still hold out against the Purple-Eyed Troll for a while, she will definitely be the one to die in the end.
An outsider was helping Lin Chen for free, without any benefits or gains. It was very rare for him to achieve this.
At this critical moment, Lin Chen and the senior executives around him all had heavy expressions on their faces. The conceptual weapons on them were also severely damaged in the previous battle. When they heard Bai Shiying's words, their expressions turned even more grim.
Although Bai Shiying is a wanted criminal by all mankind, he is definitely among the top ten in terms of combat power among all Force users, and belongs to the second tier of the strongest people on Earth.
Even a second-level Force user like this couldn't do anything to the Purple-Eyed Troll. Instead, he was suppressed and beaten, and his body was smashed several times.
A burly man with a buzz cut frowned. "If you leave, won't the entire Fengchuan Palace fall into the hands of these monsters? If the defense matrix is controlled by these trolls, the humans in the city will have no chance of survival."
"So, Bai Shiying, can you bear to watch millions of people in Luogong City die?"
As a high-ranking official in Luogong City, he originally disliked Bai Shiying, a wanted human criminal, but since he was invited by the Consul this time, he did not express his complaints even if he had any.
But now an emergency has occurred and the city has been invaded by terrifying and powerful trolls, but he doesn't want Bai Shiying to leave. According to his idea, as fellow human beings, at such a critical moment, they should be willing to sacrifice themselves for the people and the city.
If she dies, there will be a chance to save hundreds of thousands of other people.
"Don't say anything at this time!" Lin Chen's expression was a little grim. He berated his men in a low voice, then glanced at the somewhat embarrassed white-haired girl with a complicated look: "Ms. Shiying, you have done your best. Now hurry up and leave. While Fengchuan Hall is not controlled by the trolls, no one will stop you from leaving."
He knew that it was impossible to force Bai Shiying to sacrifice herself. After all, everyone has their own aspirations, and moral kidnapping is useless, so he pointed to a narrow and dark corridor behind him.
This is the escape exit, which can bypass the various defense mechanisms in the hall and lead directly from underground to the surface.
"You guys come run with me." Bai Shiying's eyes flashed, and when she saw the purple-eyed troll rushing over, she quickly grabbed Lin Chen and several senior executives' arms and dragged them into the defense matrix of the core control tower. It was relatively safe here, and it would take some time to completely break through the trolls. "These trolls are stronger than you think. Unless Yan Ziqing takes action personally, we will all die if we continue to drag it out. As long as there is life, there is hope."
"You are at the second level of the Nether Realm, and your subordinates are all at the peak of the Void Realm, the top elites among humans. There are many possibilities in the future, so there is no need to fight to the death here."
“It’s really not worth it.”
She was not a saint, and she had the mission of reviving the Bai family. She couldn't be so foolish as to die for a stranger. But she couldn't bear to see so many powerful people die here in such an unclear way.
In this dark and gloomy era, the number of humans is small, but there are even fewer people with the Force, and even fewer powerful people in the underworld.
Each one is the last line of resistance of mankind, the wealth of earth civilization, and the treasure of hope.
"No." The other men remained silent, but Lin Chen shook his head repeatedly, his eyes gleaming with a brilliance that ordinary people could not understand. "More than twenty years ago, ever since I discovered this Fengchuan Palace and built Luogong City on it, I have anticipated that this day might come."
"The old humanity's intense internal conflicts ultimately led to the current bitter consequences, but the suffering is not over; it is only the beginning."
"A mutated world, twisted flora and fauna, the oceans boiling, the earth scorched, the sky reduced to ash, and alien monsters invading in large numbers."
"The world is on the verge of destruction, but we need someone... who can stand up. Even if I perish and die, at least I won't regret coming here."
When Lin Chen established Luogong City, he had already set his lifelong responsibility, which was to live and die with the entire city and with millions of people.
He could choose to escape from here as a strong man, leaving behind the foundation to make a comeback, but...
In these dark and bleak times, humanity needs heroes even more.
