The glass dome was split open by a giant axe, and fragments fell down like a flood. Zhuang Yan complained while opening a curtain of fire to block them. The fragments that splashed into the corridor were all melted by the curtain of fire.
Zhuang Yan said: "We can't stay here for long, run!"
Yue Ya ran towards the spiral staircase as fast as he could. The fragile wooden steps creaked and seemed like they would break at any time.
As soon as this thought popped into his mind, there was a sudden "crack" sound under Yue Ya's feet - the stairs were really broken!
Yueya missed a step and broke several steps, falling straight down. He reacted quickly and grabbed the handrail in a flash, and fell in the air nearly three stories high. Perhaps the instinct for survival stimulated the uncontrolled spiritual energy in his body, and green vines grew on his palms and tightly wrapped around the pillars.
Zhuang Yan almost fell down, but he stopped at the broken part. He squatted on the last intact step and reached out to Yue Ya: "Are you okay? I'll pull you up!"
There was another violent tremor, and the stairs where Zhuang Yan was standing could not bear it and cracked. He was caught off guard and fell down!
Yue Ya threw out a vine, wrapped it around Zhuang Yan's waist, and hung him up.
Zhuang Yan's chest rose and fell violently, and he looked at the thick vine in front of him in shock: "This is... the vine of the Wood God? When will you be able to control it?"
"Let's talk about it after we get out." Yue Ya looked up and saw a huge face slowly looking down from the broken sky. Two gray-brown eyes stared at him blankly.
This face is very lifelike. At first glance, it looks like a living giant. In fact, if you look closely, you will find that it is a carved human face. I don’t know what material is used, but this huge statue actually has a soft and fleshy feel.
Zhuang Yan also saw this scene. His hair stood up and his hands and feet were as cold as if his blood had frozen. "It's the statue of the patron saint Ali!"
"It seems that we have seen something extraordinary, and it wants to bury us here." As soon as Yue Ya finished speaking, a sharp giant axe fell towards them!
Lime fell from the giant axe, revealing a sharp blade that shone with cold light. Not to mention being hit, even if it was just touched, Yue Ya and the others would have to die here.
Yue Ya frowned and decisively let go of the pillar. The sudden free fall made Zhuang Yan exclaim: "Fuck, remember to say hello in advance next time!"
"Hold on tight." As the distance shortened, Yue Ya took advantage of the situation to grab Zhuang Yan's arm, and with his other hand he swung out a vine that wrapped around the load-bearing pillars of the central hall, bringing both of them over.
When he landed, Zhuang Yan's back was already soaked with cold sweat: "This is more exciting than riding a roller coaster."
"Bang!" The giant axe split the spiral staircase in half, leaving a deep groove on the ground, and the entire building shook.
Zhuang Yan used the fire curtain to block the flying debris and said anxiously: "If he hits it twice more, the building will collapse!"
"Brother Yueya!" Hongcha's voice came from the other end. Yueya looked over and saw the players who had not appeared before coming out from the passage in the basement.
"Run! We've got a hold of a ghost!"
The players ran towards Yue Ya frantically. Behind them, ghosts with hideous faces rushed out one after another, and their number was even greater than the time when they besieged Yue Ya.
Zhuang Yan was furious when he saw it: "So big? My trypophobia is about to start acting up!"
Abai, who was running at the back, quickly made a magic circle to block the ghosts pouring out and howled: "There are only corpses under this building. These ghosts are not all. My magic circle can only hold out for a while. Let's run out first!"
Ah Bai's eyes nearly popped out of his head when he saw the giant statue above his head. "Oh my god, why is the guardian angel here? I was wondering why there was an earthquake all of a sudden!"
Cracks appeared on the guardian's face, and bright red liquid oozed out. The blood-like liquid spread across its pale face, adding a bit of weirdness to its already terrifying face.
The guardian's stiff eyes suddenly turned, it let out a low roar, pulled out its giant axe and chopped at the players.
Faced with this level of attack, players who are good at close combat are completely helpless and can only run away.
Suddenly, a large number of vines emerged from the ground and wrapped around the descending giant axe. The vines crisscrossed like a huge net, trapping the aggressive giant axe.
When the players saw the vines on Yue Ya's palm, they realized that he had blocked the axe and were no less surprised than Zhuang Yan.
Yue Ya's face turned even paler, but her eyes were firm: "I'll be the last one to leave, you go first."
Seeing his eyes, Zhuang Yan suddenly guessed his thoughts: "Do you want to take the core fragment of the guardian angel here? No, there are so many evil spirits behind it. Abai's magic circle can't hold them off for long. It's too risky to do it here!"
Yue Ya pursed her lips and said, "I know my limits. I will test his strength first and won't fight him head-on here."
Hongcha suddenly whispered, "The reason why we were chased by so many evil spirits is because we found the secret of the patron saint in the basement. Its core fragment is not in the statue, but in the statue's pedestal!"
Yue Ya immediately changed the subject and spoke quickly, "Zhuang Yan, A Bai, stay with me to hold the Guardian God, and the rest of you go raid his house and get the core fragments. If you get the core fragments, the Guardian God will be useless."
Yueya's words carry a lot of weight in the team. The players have no doubts or opinions and they all do things according to his arrangements tacitly.
With Yueya's support, Hongcha led the players to evacuate the research institute smoothly.
[Search the house! Search the house!]
[Oh my goodness, so that's how it is, there's always light at the end of the tunnel! Now we don't have to fight the guardian deity head-on, just confiscate the house!]
[I was so excited watching this. Wherever Yuezai is, there is a team. The cohesion is amazing!]
[Doesn’t the Wood God have the least amount of core power? He can absorb and utilize this and exert such a huge amount of energy. I have some doubts that the Goldfish Man’s core power will also be transformed, but there is no sign of it yet.]
[Ah, am I the only one who is nervous? Will it be too much for the three of them to fight against a giant and a bunch of ghosts? The building is still shaky...]
The guardian god is the first generation incarnation of god, with overwhelming power, and it is indeed difficult for Yue Ya to contend with him.
No one else could help, so Abai could only use his skills to reinforce the original magic circle to trap the ghosts in the basement and prevent Yue Ya from causing any more trouble.
The ghosts could not break through the magic circle, and their mournful cries were so loud that it made people's scalps numb. Zhuang Yan was so annoyed by the noise that he waved his hand and coated A Bai's magic circle with a layer of ghost fire. These ghosts were afraid of fire and dared not rush in again. He could only watch them anxiously.
Without the wailing of ghosts, the research institute became much quieter.
On the other side, the guardian god was irritated by Yue Ya, and an angry expression appeared on his terrifying face. He pulled the axe a few times and found that he could not break free from the vines, so he simply gave up and used his left hand to pry open the steel bars on the dome and punched down.
The huge fist descended with an oppressive shadow, stirring up gusts of strong wind. The pressure brought by this overwhelming size was so terrifying that it was difficult to experience it unless you were there in person.
Zhuang Yan cursed and threw a fireball to resist, but it didn't last even ten seconds before it was dispersed by the giant's fist. The giant's fingers were charred black, which showed that fire attacks were effective against it, but this attack was far from enough.
Yue Ya wanted to use vines to encircle the fist, but no matter how he mobilized his spiritual energy, he was unable to generate new vines.
Yueya gritted her teeth and said, "Hurry up and leave!"
Zhuang Yan refused to leave and threw a bigger fire: "I can't leave you alone."
This ball of fire was more intense than the last one, and it burned the guardian god so much that he shrank his fist and groaned. But it also made the guardian god even angrier, and his patience finally ran out, and he punched down hard!
The punch was so fast and so hard that the three of them could only try to escape. After Yue Ya escaped, he was knocked against the wall by the strong wind before he could stand firmly. The blow was so hard that he felt his internal organs were shaken. A fishy-sweet taste surged in his throat and blood flowed from the corners of his lips.
Yueya wiped the blood off the corner of his lips with the back of his hand and stood up with the support of the wall.
A huge hand stretched out in front of him at some point, and the upper body of the guardian angel squeezed in from the gap in the dome, trying to grab Yue Ya!
Yue Ya couldn't summon new vines and only had a Wood God's Blade in his hand. Without saying a word, he stabbed the dagger into Shi's hand. Unfortunately, the size of the dagger was too small for the giant. The giant endured the pain and grabbed Yue Ya.
Yue Ya heard the sound of his bones breaking, and the pain hit him. He smiled bitterly, wondering how many bones he had broken. He had always been smooth sailing in this game, but he suffered a lot in this dungeon.
“Crescent Moon!!” Zhuang Yan rushed over to try to stop him, but was knocked away by the giant with the back of his hand and fell heavily.
The giant hand lifted Yue Ya into the air, and the huge statue opened its fang-filled mouth, as if it wanted to swallow Yue Ya alive.
Feifei pounced on the guardian angel and started to bite it, but Feifei had eaten a lot before and now he could not eat anymore.
"Fei Fei, stop biting," Yue Ya estimated that the time was almost up, and used the offline card on the guardian angel: "You are still a little naive if you want to eat me."
The offline card can make any NPC offline for five minutes. There is only one chance to use it in each copy. After Yue Ya used it, the guardian angel disappeared on the spot.
Yueya fell straight down, and Abai was startled and cast a magic circle to hold him up steadily.
[I forgot the anchor had an awesome item like the offline card! I was so scared that I broke out in a cold sweat]
[Wow, wow, wow, let me cry for a while, baby, don’t get hurt again]
[The offline card is only effective for five minutes, right? The host wants to buy more time for Red Tea, so he uses it now?]
[The host must have calculated the time. It is estimated that Red Tea has already arrived at the place. The Guardian is offline at this time, and it is impossible to stop the players from stealing the house.]
[The anchor is so determined that he can calculate every step in this situation]
[Okay, my focus was off. The anchor said that the thousands-year-old guardian god was young with this face, and I was touched by his cuteness... It seems that not only my focus was off, but also my cuteness point was off.]
[Wow wow wow, I’m so heartbroken, I’m giving the kid 1,000 painkillers and 1,000 of your favorite gems as a reward. Next time you enter a dungeon, remember to bring the painkillers your mom gave you!]
Yueya fell to the ground, and Abai and Zhuang Yan hurriedly surrounded her.
Zhuang Yan's eyes were red: "Are your internal organs injured?"
Yue Ya shook his head: "A few ribs were broken, let's evacuate first."
Zhuang Yan supported Yue Ya, and the three of them quickly evacuated the research institute. As soon as they walked outside, a part of the dome of the institute collapsed.
Ah Bai was shocked and felt a little scared: "Fortunately we retreated quickly."
Yue Ya slowed down and used the resurrection technique to heal himself, but he consumed too much energy and the healing process became very slow.
Ah Bai handed him a painkiller and a small energy-recharging cookie. "Take these and you'll feel better. Did Hongcha succeed? Why did the guardian suddenly disappear?"
"They are not that fast," Zhuang Yan looked at Yue Ya, "Is it Yue Ya who solved it?"
Yue Ya took some painkillers and energy-recharging biscuits, and his expression eased a little: "I used the props, and the guardian angel is offline temporarily. He will be online again in five minutes."
Abai and Zhuang Yan were both stunned when they heard of such a powerful prop for the first time. Then they heard Yue Ya chuckle.
"If everything goes well with Red Tea, the Guardian Angel may not be able to go online."
Feifei was probably frightened by Yueya's injury. He curled up beside him, hugged his wrist, and made the whimpering sound of a young animal.
Yue Ya comforted it softly while slowly healing its wounds, while Abai and Zhuang Yan watched the research institute vigilantly to prevent ghosts from rushing out or guardians from coming online.
Time passed minute by minute, and Yueya's broken bones were connected, recovering 70%.
At this moment, the phones of the three people vibrated. Yue Ya saw the message that Hong Cha sent to the group:
[Got it.]
Yue Ya curled the corners of his lips and sent a message to everyone to gather at the hotel: "No need to wait, the guardian angel is offline forever."
Zhuang Yan and Abai became excited belatedly, with light flashing in their eyes.
"We have collected all the God Cores! Four pieces, not one missing!"
Zhuang Yan said: "Not only that, you haven't read the notes left by the historian we found, so you don't know. We now know the conspiracy of the Lost Island and the location of the underwater door!"
Ah Bai was itching to go back. "Then let's go back. I've had enough of this damn place. Let's get through and leave!"
Zhuang Yan laughed and looked at Yue Ya: "Can you still walk? Let me carry you."
Yueya waved her hand: "Not that fragile."
When they returned to the hotel, Hongcha and the others were already waiting. When Hongcha saw Yueya, she quickly came over and said, "You look so bad."
Yueya said, "It's okay."
"What do you mean he's fine? He was injured again!" Zhuang Yan recounted what happened in the research institute, still a little scared: "I didn't know he had such a prop at the time. I was scared to death."
After hearing about the dangerous experience, the players all looked at Yue Ya.
Hongcha said: "No wonder our operation went so smoothly, it turns out you were the ones who carried it all."
Xuecha: "You don't have to hide it from us. Are you seriously injured?"
Yue Ya's face turned red as a group of people looked at her with loving eyes: "Zhuang Yan is exaggerating. I'm just a little sleepy now."
His wish now is very simple, he just wants to have a good sleep.
"You always say it's okay." Hongcha sighed, stretched out his palm, and showed Yueya the diamond-shaped fragment inside: "But I had anticipated this time, so I didn't absorb the power in this god core. See if you can use it."
The core of the god was a transparent red color, and Yue Ya could feel the majestic spiritual energy hidden in it. Yue Ya took the fragment, and the spiritual energy poured into his body, sweeping away his accumulated fatigue. His wounds healed faster, and his face became more rosy.
Feeling that Yue Ya's condition had improved, the players felt relieved and a faint smile appeared on their faces.
[Why do I feel like these players are looking at Yuezai with more loving eyes? Are they also Yuezai’s dad and mom fans?]
[I feel the same way. Who can not love a beautiful and capable kid?]
[It’s great to see Yuezai recover. I’m relieved. I’m giving Yuezai a reward to celebrate his recovery!]
Yue Ya did not delay and fused the four pieces of the god core under the expectant gazes of the players.
In about a minute, the complete god core transformed in Yueya's hands into a black diamond-shaped gem.
[Congratulations to the player "Crescent Moon" for obtaining the Heart of the God. It can restrain the main god. The method of using it is recorded in the ancient book. ]
Yueya relayed the news and took out the notes found in the research institute. After the players figured out the whole story, they became excited again.
The man in black said, "We have all the equipment now. Victory is just around the corner!"
Abai nodded: "The ancient book is in the hands of the professor. Let's go ask him now, and then look for the underwater door."
