The sun is high - #124 - Chapter 123 The “Garden” of the Gods

Wei Lin is forcing herself to adapt to Shuge’s abnormal thinking methods and habits as quickly as possible. Of course, she is also trying to adapt to the many possibilities brought by those lost and strange spells.

After witnessing a series of phenomena that violated the common sense of Van En spellcasters, she made up her mind to quickly adjust her thoughts and mentality before her understanding of the rules of magic collapsed. Otherwise, she would not have to wait for the “black sun” to come. His pursuit of magic was about to be completely destroyed by his “student”.

After walking into this dim passage and stepping on the heavy metal door that fell to the ground, Wei Lin’s expression became more and more confused.

She didn’t understand why Xiuge obviously used “magical means” when dealing with these problems, but he was very non-magical.

Something must be wrong.

Or there is something wrong with your own thinking.

However, Weilin didn’t know what Xiuge was thinking about now.

After personally verifying the “wonderful use” of the Hound’s Fang, Shuge’s brain was filled with many unrealistic ideas: “It’s a pity that the number of Hound’s Fang bullets is too small, and the time to recharge the energy is too short.” It’s very long…otherwise I should be able to dig through the entire ground with it, right?”

“After I get out, I should probably find a large-scale protective ritual to further test its effectiveness. If the power of the hound’s teeth is enough to destroy the best and most stable protective rituals among Van En, it means that the current protection rituals used by humans Is it difficult for magic protection methods to be effective in the face of the system of ‘Dark Abyss’?”

Thinking of this, Shuge couldn’t help but recall some of the speculations and details about Prince Havid’s death that he heard from the young officer Alfred on the way to Bolden.

“According to Alfred, the secret instrument carried on Prince Havid’s car should be the best and most reliable type of protective secret instrument in the entire Votel and even the entire Vann, but in the end, he used this kind of secret instrument. He was assassinated under the protection of the highest level.”

Xiuge touched the wolf fang tattoo on his wrist: “In other words, the methods or weapons used by the assassins can directly restrain and destroy the existing magic protection rituals to a certain extent.”

“Theseus called the things summoned by the Black Sun Society in Salem City the Children of the Dark Abyss. This shows that even if that thing is a defective product among the families of the ancient gods, its power and existence must be the same as the so-called There is a connection with the Dark Abyss Palace.”

Thinking of this, Xiuge asked questions in the spiritual world towards the messenger in the mirror sitting behind the desk “doing nothing” and the hound resting on the ground after finishing chewing the soil: “It seems that your so-called Dark Abyss Palace , isn’t it very friendly to Van En’s existing magic system? How about it, can you provide any clues or clues?”

Fortunately, the hound was unable to communicate with Shuge in the first place, so it didn’t even raise its head and continued to rest quietly.

As for the messenger in the mirror, he was in need of a beating as always. After hearing this question, he huddled behind the grooved desk and shrugged his shoulders, with a very classic “I’m not good” attitude, which made Xiuge want to give him a hard blow. A hard punch.

At this time, there was a commotion in Snitch’s mouse hole, and then, the voices of Alexandra, Bernhardt and other family souls came towards Shuge.

“This is the passage! We were here before during that time of loss of control and resistance!”

These family souls said: “Although that memory is very vague to us, we still remember the scene when we were marching here!”

“What’s at the end of the passage?”

“Garden, huge underground garden!”

Alexandra’s voice stood out, and her voice was very determined: “We couldn’t see things at that time, we could only smell, hear and perceive things… I clearly remember that at the end of this passage, there were many Plants, and a very strong smell of…well, flowers.”

“Plant? Flower?”

Xiuge was a little confused: “In a place like this?”

“There is no mistake. Many of our members smelled it, and indeed touched the leaves and roots of many plants. However, at that time, everyone was focused on the enemy and the movements of the secret ceremony, so for the environment I didn’t pay too much attention to it.”

While listening to Alexandra’s description, Shuge carefully observed his surroundings.

The running rats had already been summoned by him. Snicki led the group of rats he had “collected” as the vanguard, and had reached the end of this gentle downward passage first. Before Xiuge could give the next order, The two sudden attacks directly hit the advancing rats, and the vibrations were even transmitted along this passage.

That was the guardian of the “Garden” and the figure that Shuge and Weilin had seen through the window of Room 203 before.

They used to be casters who belonged to the Black Sun Society and were assigned to guard and maintain the mysterious ritual of Mother Earth, but now they have all been completely transformed under the influence of the power of the mysterious ritual. The guardians of these mysterious rituals have obviously Knowing what happened in the five underground floors, they immediately launched an attack the moment the rats appeared.

Two fireballs shining with dark green light exploded like alchemical bombs in the densest place of the rat swarm. The scene looked like someone had thrown a huge rock high into the dark lake water, and dark water splashed everywhere, but Before it hit the ground, it vanished into nothing in the weird dark green fire.

Snitch once again smelled the aura of blessing that was extremely tempting to him. He immediately let out a harsh hiss, and all the blind mice that he had collected immediately poured out of the narrow passage and entered. In the wider space in front of it, although its wisdom is limited and not enough to understand how complicated the tactics are, it also knows that gathering in one place at this moment will only suffer unlimited bombardment from the opponent’s magic. .

“be careful!”

Alexandra reminded Shuge in a low voice: “When we evacuated, many family members were forcibly left behind by their magic and the power of the secret ritual… But we did not see these members again afterwards. I’m worried that the association is using them to do something… I’m sorry, I don’t really know how to describe it.”

“No need, I probably understand.”

Xiuge responded in his heart, and then he grabbed Wei Lin, who had taken out the magic book and was ready for battle, and said: “A considerable number of family members who have been transformed by the secret ritual are controlled by the association. It is very possible that they will be used for some experiments, or the secret instrument will be used for further transformation, so be careful.”

…

Alexandra’s description is indeed correct.

This underground space that can be called a “square” is indeed a huge garden, but none of the plants planted here are normal.

After following the attacking rats, Xiuge first saw a large number of roots and vines that were intertwined, fused, and growing wantonly.

The boundaries between animals and plants become somewhat blurred here.

In Xiuge’s past understanding of the concept of “Earth Mother Goddess” or “Earth Mother Goddess”, most gods with such names carry people’s blessings and desires for life, reproduction, sowing, and reincarnation.

It is universal.

It is also an important god that every race and tribe that can be called a civilization will begin to worship in the earliest stages.

However, here, Xiuge felt that the favor of the Earth Mother Goddess of Van En seemed a little… confused.

In other words, the power He represents and carries is actually a vigorous vitality that pays no attention to any margins and boundaries.

Wei Lin’s complexion began to turn pale, and the magic disturbance that had interfered with her before appeared again, but this time, she was fully prepared. That terrible interference did not prevent her from casting spells, but with the magic With a flash of light, the chaotic wonders in the Garden of the Mother Earth came into her sight one after another.

It is obviously a tree, but its bark shows the texture of animal fur. There are even some fur patterns on it that belong to deer or sheep. The branches that should be stretched out are as specific and sharp as the sharp claws of animals. The tips of their claw-like branches were so sharp that they could even cut open the flesh of living creatures. The so-called leaves became as flexible and powerful as tongues. Weilin even saw them trying to roll up some blind mice that were close to her…

Even the craziest writers and poets among Van En could not describe the bizarre scene Weilin saw now. For a moment, she even felt that the vines with sharp barbs were heading towards her. Roll up, tear open your own flesh, and draw your own blood.

Chaotic lights and shadows and horrific images impacted Wei Lin’s spirit one after another. She had to stop the use of offensive magic, and instead tore off two pages of magic books that could stabilize her mind and spirit, and forcibly pulled her brain that was about to go out of control. Back on track.

There are quite a few members of the Black Sun Society staying here. Those members who followed the rat tide to attack the fifth underground floor were only a few of them. The moment Xiuge stepped into this place, he already knew that this was destined to be an extremely difficult battle. A fierce battle!

He saw that at the other end of the garden square, there was a huge cave. It looked somewhat similar to the “mobilization cave” he had stayed in in the dream of the rats. There seemed to be some erected on both sides of the cave. There is a huge statue, and now, groups of rats that have not yet been controlled and transformed by Snitch are constantly pouring out of it. Among them, there are also figures one after another holding different weapons.

The collision between the rat tides created unprecedented chaos. Shuge decisively blocked the sensory connection between himself and Snitch from the mental level, because there were too many rats that he needed to control and win over now. As for its thinking, it has begun to become extremely disordered. If there are sane and crazy among the rat community, then Snitch must be the craziest one now. Shuge, who could clearly feel its thoughts, now understands it at all. He couldn’t understand the many fragments of information passed by his summons.

Those former Black Sun Society mages have now been transformed into their own priests by the power of the Mother Earth Goddess. These rickety figures are hiding in the shadows of plants and buildings, constantly performing magic mutated by the power of the gods. Or maybe you’re trying to compete with the stampeding rats for control of the rat tide.

Xiuge’s reaction was extremely quick. With the help of the magical vision provided by the messenger in the mirror, he accurately identified these vulnerable priests who were hiding. Before they started to use magic to protect themselves, the “Magic Bow and Arrow” was launched immediately. A total of nine magic bullets with high power and mutated by magic appeared in Shuge’s hands.

Empty the magazine, reload, and attach a trick to silence the sound…

This whole set of action training has become extremely proficient.

He immediately started shooting. With consistent operations, these corrosive magic bullets that were enough to directly explode the flesh of living creatures when they hit began to shoot out continuously with a slight muffled sound. As the magic steam escaped, they hid in hiding places. The priests were quickly found. Although their bodies had been transformed by the power of the Mother Earth, their heads were still fragile. When the bullets penetrated from their eye sockets into the deformed and twisted heads, the explosive force generated still succeeded. Blast these guys’ heads open.

The priests did not notice Shuge’s actions for a while. Their energy was attracted by Weilin who was casting spells – she deliberately selected some magic that she did not commonly use, but was able to create amazing sounds and lights, and used it to cast spells. They were thrown directly next to the enemies closest to the battle line.

The silent cooperation between the two produced very good results. When the fourth rat priest fell to the ground and died during Shuge’s hidden shooting, they finally reacted and Shuge’s fifth target was successfully set. He went through the protection ceremony, but then, three consecutive magic bullets flew quickly. The first two successfully broke through the temporary protection, and the third one hit the target’s chest and knocked him to the ground.

But that’s about it.

Because Shuge saw a large number of burly figures rushing out of the “cave” in the rear. These guards who had obviously taken a large number of potions in the past and received magical transformations immediately formed a solid defensive front. , they set up their own Demonic Silver Shields to block the front of their own kind, and then began to advance steadily.

“Tsk…”

Xiuge regretfully put down the revolver rifle in his hand. He took the weapon off his body and put it aside. The magic power in his body began to mobilize. Those oceans that had fought fierce battles with the dependents of the Mother Goddess of the Earth in the distant past. Tentacles of the gods emerged one after another, and the claws of Charron’s Touch kept swaying in the dimness of the magic lamp, making Shuge look like a strange ocean beast standing in the shadows, preparing to attack the people of the Earth Mother Goddess.
