Chapter 95: Underground Fortress



At this time, Xi looked at the man who had retreated back into the group of ordinary paladins and restrained his edge, and said lightly:

"I have heard from my teacher before that the Holy Temple also attaches great importance to the training of future talents, and they have a long history, so they have a very standardized process to refer to when it comes to training talents."

"For example, the Holy Hall referred to Nirbas' life experience and summarized a set of effective talent training processes. For example, when Nirbas came into contact with the blood curse, the person being trained would be exposed to it at that time. What kind of great stimulation Nirbas received after the blood curse, what kind of experience did he encounter, all of which were restored as much as possible..."

"Inside the temple, this kind of training is called the Road of Fire. Although this can be said to have a very high death elimination rate, it can also be said that it has achieved obvious results. For example, Helvin, who you met before, is one of the new talents trained by this system."

"And there are more powerful people in the temple than just Nirbas. The experiences and growth of the five famous saints in the history of the temple alone are five roads of fire. The man who took action earlier should also be a powerful person who walked out of another road of fire. The one he walked might be Michel's road, so he can turn decay into magic and defeat the magic sword Apophis with the second-level skill Spear of Victory!"

Hearing Xi say this, Du Yuqi's heart suddenly moved:

"Could this person be Bai? I heard that during the last bet with the Holy Hall, there was a dispute among them, and they finally chose Helven. After Helven lost to me, some people in the Holy Hall raised different opinions, saying that if Bai, who was good at both offense and defense, had fought, he might not have been restrained by me! In this way, this person's strength is at least not inferior to Helven."

After repelling the magic sword Apophis, the situation on the battlefield finally stabilized. Du Yuqi asked Xi to go back and fetch Jet and Duize, while he was looking for news everywhere. He found out that the news was true. The Whip of Redemption had fallen! And he died under the attack of the insect king Lu Gu and the magic sword Apophis.

The situation at that time was that the insect king Lu Gu suddenly broke out of the ground above the cave ceiling and launched a sneak attack, spinning like a top. The poisonous stingers on its body as sharp as steel needles immediately flew everywhere, causing great casualties among the crowd.

Not only that, it can also reflect all kinds of attacks while spinning. This move can be said to be an integrated attack and defense. The Whip of Redemption stepped forward at this time and cast the Holy Light Shield to block the crowd, successfully blocking the next attack from the Insect King Lu Gu.

But at this moment, the invisible Skeleton Kane attacked from behind with the magic sword Apophis, and the Whip of Redemption was caught off guard and cut. The Insect King Lu Gu took the opportunity to pounce on it, and the Whip of Redemption had no choice but to burn its life and use forbidden moves. As a result, it was seriously injured and was exhausted. It only had less than three days left to live and was rushed back to the Temple Headquarters for treatment.

However, even with the most optimistic estimate, the Whip of Redemption can only extend his life for less than half a year, and his power will be completely dissipated, turning him into an old man in his twilight years. Such a loss is also very significant for the Holy Temple. Fortunately, the Holy Temple has always had a very strong training tradition. Although the old three giants have died, the mainstay of the Pope is still there, and the new generation headed by Helvin, Bai, etc. has also grown rapidly, so it can still afford it.

At this time, news came that the offensive of the Violent Search Team was going much more smoothly!

The characteristics of the Holy Hall are that there are a large number of mid-level warriors, a large number of people, and strong endurance, while the characteristics of the Violent Hunting Group are that they rely on their powerful replication ability to be fearless, and have a large number of high-end combat forces and strong explosive power. In this case, the Violent Hunting Group has directly advanced to the deepest part of the Lugu Cave and killed two monsters of the same level as the Insect King Lugu. At the same time, they also entered the territory of the Zero Organization, and the two sides were fighting fiercely.

Not only that, they also discovered the mausoleum of the ancient kingdom. Although it was full of traps and the dead were everywhere, the number of strong men in the violent search team was amazing. The strong men on the 41st floor, Dragon King Cassis, who mastered the powerful "Gagabo Fist", and the strong men on the 64th floor, the soul master Nami, led the attack.

The mechanic Dragon King Cassis was responsible for breaking all kinds of complex mechanisms, while the soul master Nami was responsible for suppressing and subduing the powerful undead inside. They had already advanced to the second floor of the mausoleum. It was conceivable that once the mausoleum was completely captured, the wealth of the ancient kingdom would be occupied by the violent search team. Not only that, even the magic sword Apophis might find a weakness and be controlled by it.

After learning the news, the top leaders of the church did not panic, but ordered to continue to move forward steadily and give full play to their advantages. This decision was undoubtedly correct. With the Pope in charge, the chances of making mistakes on the church side were very small.

After Du Yuqi sent Jet to the wounded camp set up by the temple, he continued to move forward with Duize and Xi into the team. At the same time, he asked around about the current situation of the Xuzu Anti-Demon Group, wanting to find Lin's whereabouts first.

Although the attack on the Sorrow Cave was still carried out separately, there were ways for the major organizations to communicate with each other, and exchanging information about the enemy was also very important. For example, the previous attack on the Whip of Redemption had already been made public. Then, after the rest of the people knew that the magic sword Apophis had a powerful stealth ability, they would of course be doubly careful in this regard.

At the same time, the Temple will also announce the intelligence shared by friendly forces in real time. For example, the Violent Search Team encountered a two-headed giant Killing Gu Insect, which looked like a monster transformed by the Zero Organization. Although it only retained the burrowing ability of the Killing Gu Insect King, its new ability was still very difficult to deal with.

The left head can actually spit out ice mist, which can greatly reduce the mobility of enemies within range, while the right head can actually spit out acid poison, which is extremely corrosive. Not only can it quickly reduce the durability of the enemy's armor and weapons, but even their health will slowly decrease. More importantly, it is the upper limit of health that decreases. Even after the toxins are expelled, the lowered upper limit of health cannot be eliminated, and it can only be restored through long-term rest!

Perhaps it was because the attention of the killing insects and undead creatures was attracted to the Violent Hunting Group - after all, the Violent Hunting Group had already divided its forces and entered the ancient mausoleum, which was the lair of the magic sword Apophis - so the advancement speed of the temple was also very fast. In just about half a day, they had arrived at the entrance of the underground base of the Zero Organization.

At this time, the group had completely left the underground cave and had completely arrived in the underground world. Thousands of meters above their heads were rock layers, and the surrounding area was incredibly vast. There were even towering and long underground mountains, deep and dark underground abysses, and gurgling underground rivers.

At this time, Du Yuqi and the others were on a high ground. There were sparsely scattered stalagmites more than ten meters high on the high ground, and more of them were a large number of giant lavender mushrooms. The white roots of the mushrooms were as thick as buckets, and the lavender caps were as small as 20 to 30 square meters and as large as 200 to 300 square meters. When people walked by, a large number of luminous spores fell from the caps and then sparkled in the air.

A unique ecosystem has been formed around these giant lavender mushrooms underground, with many fat worms as long as chopsticks greedily gnawing on them. After pupating, these fat worms become giant moths the size of a palm. Therefore, there are two-meter-long black slugs that hunt these insects for food, and there are also a large number of large bats that hunt the giant ghost-faced moths for a living - these bats are subject to very strict hunting, because some people have been attacked by this kind of large bats before, and it is not known whether it is the transformation of the Zero Organization or its hunting nature.

Not only that, there were gusts of wind blowing underground, and there was a chilly smell in the wind. The coldness seemed to be drilling into the gaps between bones. There seemed to be whistling and whimpering sounds, but they disappeared when listening carefully.

Soon, a wide stone platform appeared in front of them. The stone platform was about the size of a football field and had obviously been cleared by the vanguard. When Du Yuqi came to the top of the stone platform and looked down, he finally saw the situation of this underground world. He took a breath and understood why the Zero Organization would build its underground base in this place.

To put it simply, there are three high grounds standing in the nearby dozens of square kilometers of terrain, forming a "品" shape. The "口" character above the "品" character is where Du Yuqi is at the moment, and the two "口" characters on the left and right below are the locations of the Zero Organization's underground base and the ancient mausoleum of that year respectively!

It can be seen that the high ground of the Zero Organization is the highest at this time, and it can even overlook the surroundings. It looks like it should have been a large altar of the ancient kingdom's tomb, similar to the Mayan pyramid used for sacrifices. However, it has been completely transformed by the Zero Organization into an extremely solid fortress!

The ancient mausoleum on the right has the lowest terrain, and its main function is to seal Apophis, so the mausoleum looks very hastily built. There are four extremely ferocious statues of strange beasts in front of the tomb to suppress it. Each of them is more than ten meters high. At this time, two of the four stone statues have been destroyed, and the remaining two are still showing their fangs and claws, lifelike.

It is conceivable that thousands of years ago, when this mausoleum was just built, the altar on the left stood majestically like a mountain, echoing the four statues of strange beasts on the right, just like the pyramid and the Sphinx statue illuminated by the setting sun. The two were originally one, witnessing the bygone civilization and glory.

Looking closely at this moment, in order to attack the gate of the Zero Organization's underground base, one has to follow the mountain path carved out from the cliff, with a cliff on one side and a cliff on the other! In this case, even a stone thrown from above would have enough lethality, not to mention the Zero Organization who were ready for battle?

Not only that, Du Yuqi suddenly thought of the two modified bodies of the Eye of Sin that he had encountered before. It can be imagined that there should be no shortage of such modified bodies within the Zero Organization, otherwise they would not have sent them out to set an ambush.

So, how much of this mountain road is real, and how much is an illusion? Not to mention that even if you rush to the gate of the Zero Organization, you may face several or even dozens of Sin Eyes modified bodies firing at you with their giant pupil cannons. The power of that is so strong that even a behemoth like the Iron Fortress will be destroyed in one blow.

Not to mention that above the gate of the Zero Organization, there are densely packed shooting holes like a honeycomb, and a large number of laser dragon cannons can be vaguely seen moving inside. Even ordinary laser dragon cannons are quite troublesome when they have the advantage of distance. Moreover, it is easy to guess that these powerful machines must have been improved by the Zero Organization in various ways, and they are probably added with many powerful powers.

Such a terrain really makes people think of the eight words "one man guarding the pass against ten thousand men". Just looking at it a few more times can successfully dispel anyone's idea of ​​attacking by force.

The members of the Violent Hunting Group obviously backed off after arriving here. They probably felt that the terrain was too dangerous and that if they charged in force, they might not be able to get through, and might even suffer heavy losses. So they divided their forces to explore the mausoleum of the ancient kingdom first. On the surface, it could be said that they were trying to find other attack routes, but in reality, they were also trying to plunder the wealth there.

To be honest, the Allied forces are really in a dilemma now. Facing such a solid fortress, the best way is not to attack it head-on, but to directly besiege it and cut off its water and food supplies. The worst thing is that time is not on the Allied side, and the Zero Organization is really eager to waste time with it.

After witnessing such a fortress, Du Yuqi originally thought that the previous actions of the Zero Organization were either blinded by greed or so crazy that they were unwise to make enemies with the entire Arad continent. But now Du Yuqi suddenly felt that Mixia really had the strength to match her ambition. Just from this underground fortress that was armed to the teeth, one could see how powerful her hidden strength was!

At this time, someone has started to organize the summoners. It seems that they are planning to gather all the summoners together, and then use the vast number of summoned creatures to charge the front line, and then test the strength of the enemy. The advantage of the Allied side is that they have more people, so they can maximize their advantages. As the saying goes, many ants can kill an elephant. Zero organization will either waste energy in vain, expose traps to attack summoned creatures, or just sit there and take the beating.

However, when the summoners began to summon, they were surprised to find that most of their summoning spells had failed, and the occasional successful summoning had extremely poor results. Obviously, Mixia had anticipated this and launched targeted countermeasures.

Not only that, just as these summoners were panicking and noisy, the side of the underground fortress suddenly looked like ripples, and it was actually covered by an illusion! On the wall that originally seemed to be made of extremely solid rocks, four huge gates suddenly rose up quickly, and inside were the four evil eye transformations that Du Yuqi had fought with.

These four huge monsters seemed to have accumulated enough power long ago. After the gates were raised, they immediately fired four giant pupil cannons at the same time, directly covering the open space where the summoners gathered!

Obviously, even this open space where the summoners gathered was probably deliberately leveled by Zero Organization, because after summoning the summoned creatures here, they can send them to attack the Zero Organization's gate, which is very convenient. And it seems to be in the blind spot of the underground fortress. Who knows that this seemingly safe area is actually a killing trap set by Mixia.

Four huge blood-red beams blasted out in an instant, cutting through the sky and shining so brightly that people could not open their eyes. There was a sudden loud bang in the center of the open space where the summoners gathered, and then a huge explosion occurred. A horrifying mushroom cloud rose from the ground, and the powerful shock wave even affected the surrounding four hundred to five hundred meters.

Those giant mushrooms that were as high as two stories were torn into pieces effortlessly by the violent shock wave. After a long time, a large amount of spores slowly fell down, sparkling in the air, as if a rain of light was slowly falling.

Even after more than ten seconds, there was still violent and chaotic energy conflicting at the core of the explosion, but one could vaguely see a translucent light shield covering the ground. This light shield covered an area of ​​about 20 to 30 square meters and looked similar to a qigong master's energy shield, except that the color was different.

In the light shield, the Pope of the temple stood upright with a solemn expression and fluttering white robes, with a tiny golden staff in his left hand shining with a faint light. It can be seen that the light shield protects about thirty or forty summoners, and they are all safe and sound. However, with the edge of the light shield as the boundary, even the hard rock ground has been vaporized by more than a foot. Originally this was a flat land, but now it has turned into a large depression with a very regular circular highland!

Seeing this scene, Xi's face became extremely solemn. She whispered to Du Yuqi:

"The move used by the Pope should be just a second-level skill, Holy Light Guardian. However, ordinary paladins can only protect themselves with this move and are immune to physical damage. However, in the hands of the Pope, this skill can protect people in a large area after being used, and it seems that they are immune to all damage... It's really powerful!"
