The Truth of Magic

Chapter 278: Abomination (33)

The moment they heard the sorrow and joy, all the ghoul army that had crowded the passageway for the whole month rushed forward, and many of them jumped up, stepped on the ghouls blocking the way ahead, and forcibly broke through. past.

The entire corridor became a large-scale trampling scene, as if there was a torrent of positive energy that could destroy everything behind them.

Zhao Xu couldn't help but look back at the way he came, but found nothing.

After the undead creature shadow leaves, it has become empty.

And he looked at the way again, and the entrance of the passage, which was several meters high, had been densely packed by ghouls scrambling to get ahead.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Xu let go and jumped off the wall, stepping on an inexplicable puddle with his boots. It's just that at this moment, he has no time to think about it, and his attention is completely on the ghoul in front of him.

Master, shall we follow? Lux suggested.

Yeah. That's why Zhao Xu got off the wall just now, and he immediately hung behind the trailing ghouls, only less than ten meters away.

And those ghouls who were lagging behind kept lying on the ghouls in front, but they could no longer squeeze through.

After Zhao Xu walked for nearly ten minutes, he realized that there was a little light in the corridor ahead, which meant that the entrance to the end was approaching.

And the distance he followed made him, who was limited by his vision at first, estimate that this corridor might not be less than a kilometer.

That is to say, the number of ghouls just now may be as many as tens of thousands.

Needless to say, it's just that the army of ghouls in this corridor was put on the Falling Star Lake battlefield just now, whether the players can win is in between.

And Zhao Xu has been following here, and finally smelled some fresh air, which made his nose feel better.

Slowly as the number of ghouls decreased, the hole that was originally densely blocked began to seep through the light of the outside world.

At this time, Zhao Xu also reached the end of the corridor, and the road ahead was cut off.

He looked at it, and there was an empty field of vision in front of him, and a hundred meters below was a vast and endless underground city.

There are countless ancient buildings with a long history, which are basically designed thousands of years ago. The appearance of many buildings has become dim, revealing the earthy material inside.

Looking at it suddenly like this, Zhao Xu could still feel the grandeur of it, as if it was a witness of history. The only thing missing was the atmosphere of the crowd.

Zhao Xu's current location was in a cliff, and the passageway he was in was just one of the holes dug out of the cliff.

Those ghouls that ran out were rushing down, or rolling down, along the nearly 70 or 80-degree slope of the cliff.

Zhao Xu poked his head out for a while and found that there was not only a hole in this cliff, but also no less than a dozen similar holes, all of which were constantly spewing out a large number of undead creatures, running towards the town below. From zombies and skeletons to mummies, ghouls and more.

However, the world in front of me is still singing the song of mourning for the dead, and the sound seems to come from the gray and monotonous sky, directly penetrating into everyone's heart.

This is Anta, the ancient 'Land of the Sleepers'. When the god of death fell, it was cut away from the main material plane and turned into a floating demiplane. I just didn't expect it to be the same as this 'scavenging beast. Hole' half-planes merged together. Lux said with emotion.

Land of the Sleepers?

Zhao Xu's religious knowledge, historical knowledge, and local knowledge instantly retrieved a piece of content.

The Land of the Sleepers, a legendary kingdom of completely undead creatures. It was once the proving ground of Naraku, the god of death, a city that even the most valiant paladins who worked hard to kill undead creatures would not dare to set foot on it easily.

It was not difficult for Zhao Xu to understand why there were tens of thousands of ghouls crowded in the passage. It turned out that he had come to this town where the residents were all undead creatures.

But Zhao Xu was thinking about the reason.

Anta appeared in this demiplane of death, but the mages of those associations didn't tell him.

It shows that this happened only in the last few days, and naturally it was the work of the man-made god of death. What about the plot?

In order for it to be more able to grasp the godhead of the god of death?

Feeling the danger inside, Zhao Xu crouched lower at this moment. At this moment, he had no scruples about the stench that hadn't dissipated in the passage.

Lax, it was you who helped the man-made god of death before, so that the other party was able to escape from the rituals of the priest Naraku, the god of death. Then since it has already escaped, why do I have to wait until I enter the underground temple before leaving, and then decisively enter this half place? Get the godhead of the god of death? Zhao Xu asked.

What preparations does it still lack?

That's right, master. Lux carefully explained, Actually, it itself is waiting for the day of God's War. At that time, it has no time to pay attention to the gods and Arthur's many plane forces.

It's just that the owner's entry into the underground temple has also attracted the attention of the Mage Association and the Temple of the Goddess. Naturally, it can no longer hide.

Zhao Xu couldn't help sighing when he heard it. It turned out that he had waited a hundred years for the opportunity of the chaos, but he didn't expect to be interrupted by him.

Master, if you can get a godhead, let alone a thousand years, so what if it's ten thousand years. Lacus seems to have seen too many cases of competition for the godhead. I've been doing infiltration work slowly.

Even this time the man-made god of death entered inside, they treated it calmly, just waiting for orders like legendary mages. Because time and patience will allow them to defeat all enemies, even if the man-made god of death fails to deal with it well, it is just for the mage association to cultivate a man who can become a god. opportunity.

So, merging this 'Land of Sleepers' is the way that man-made Death God responds.

Suddenly, the song of the dead resounded more and more across the sky, so much so that it affected Zhao Xu's thoughts and made him soak in the sentimental atmosphere.

And in the entire Land of the Dead, countless undead creatures walking blindly are also kneeling in one direction at this moment.

The sense of fear stemming from a higher personality in nature made these skeletal zombies, even without consciousness and intelligence, kneel down on the ground, not daring to move at all.

At this moment, Zhao Xu was still thinking about what happened, but the corner of his eye immediately reminded him of the source of the strange situation.

At the edge of the pale sky, an amber coffin was slowly flying in the air. There were countless silver chains on the coffin, each connected to another flying creature.

A total of twenty-four huge flying creatures, each locked by chains, wandered in the sky with amber coffins hanging, accepting the worship of countless undead creatures.

These flying creatures are like gigantic bats, their wings are more than ten meters long, and their whole bodies are shrouded in shadows.

And around the sarcophagus, there are more than ten clusters of black energy clusters, which can barely be distinguished as black human shapes. And they didn't hold the amber coffin, they just seemed to be on guard outside, and their flying posture was also very slow and clumsy.

Only then did Zhao Xu notice that there was a mummy sitting on one of the bat-like flying creatures.

For a while, Zhao Xu couldn't think of how a low-level monster like a mummy could be related to these unusual undead creatures.

However, as soon as Zhao Xu took a look, he immediately felt a chill all over his body, and the fear deep in his heart gushed out directly, filling his whole body and mind.

[Adventurer Zhong Xia, you are affected by the effect of 'despair', and you are in a state of paralysis because of fear, which lasts for 3 rounds (1D4 rounds)]

Zhao Xu couldn't move and fell into a frozen state.

The former dragon flew over his head, swooping and roaring at their team, causing them to be affected by the effect of the dragon's power.

That is the state of fear.

Who would have thought that Zhao Xu's mere glance from hundreds of meters away would directly cause him to be paralyzed, the immobility effect.

Master, it's a demigod mummy. At this time, the opponent's immunity is as high as the 48th-level 'despair' effect. As long as you see it, you need to perform an immunity resistance.

Lux's tone also became serious at this time. She had never paid so much attention to the challenge level of the deep hell demon that was close to legend.

Ordinary mummies are formed after human death.

But the demigod mummies mean that the person in front of them is a demigod. Lux said.

Next to the amber coffin is the undead creature 'Night Shadow'. They are powerful undead creatures composed of equal parts darkness and pure evil. The bat-like Night Shadow locked in a chain is a Challenge Level 14 The 'Flying Wing Yeying'. And the guarding human-shaped Yeying is the 'Fuxing Yeying' with a challenge level of 16.

Only then did Zhao Xu notice that behind the amber coffin, there were other undead creatures coming out of the void, all following the coffin.

It's just that Zhao Xu's eyes were fixed on one of the large undead creatures immediately, and he looked confused at the baby-like appearance.

That's the abomination, the stillbirth of the gods - the shrunken one. Lux noticed Zhao Xu's vision, and then introduced it.

It's just that she was a little more careful about this existence.

The atrophied one will kill all the lives present. In fact, many kingdoms of undead creatures are controlled by the atrophied one. It is the owner of this 'Land of Sleepers', but I didn't expect it to still exist.

Master, you have to be very careful, no matter the abominable shrunken person or the demigod mummy, they are all legendary creatures, and they may also have divine power.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Xu also knew that this was the most dangerous moment he had encountered since entering the game. He restrained his trembling body and stepped back a little into the passage, as if the darkness behind him could protect him better.

Then what's in the amber coffin they escorted? Zhao Xu asked.

Well, it's the godhead of the god of death, our goal this time. Lux said briskly and joyfully as if she had caught a prey.
