The sun is high - #437 - Chapter 436 Under the Mountain

Facing this search team composed of Dark Abyss Palace hounds, Shuge behaved quite calmly. For him, the hounds were considered old rivals. During the meeting between Merlinle and the meeting, he solved them with his own hands. There are at least dozens of Dark Abyss hounds.

Theoretically speaking, as long as the person running in front of him is not the owner of the hound, then everything is still under control.

However, for the rat-man hunting team he was a part of, this scene was really scary.

The moment the hounds appeared, fear and panic spread uncontrollably among the rat people.

They have come to the Dark Abyss and settled here from an unpredictable period of time, so they are already extremely familiar with the changes and threats in the Dark Abyss Wasteland. In a series of unexpected events, people from the Dark Abyss Palace came to The pursuit is undoubtedly the most deadly and terrifying.

In terms of their own combat effectiveness, hounds may not be as good as other creatures in the wasteland, but the problem is that these “adult hounds” belonging to the palace often only appear in groups.

The strong will from the owner of the hounds and the court itself will completely control and rule these hunters, so their actions will become efficient and orderly, and all the hunting instincts of the hounds themselves will be suppressed and replaced at this moment There is only the absolute execution of orders and will.

In this case, the hounds of the Dark Abyss will maximize their ability to utilize space. They can easily find the smallest traces of magic around them and track them thoroughly, and the prey are trapped in this situation. , they are doomed to face the never-ending pursuit. No matter where they escape, the hounds can always use their own strength to emerge from any unpredictable corner and carry out ruthless attacks.

Although this rat tribe has been rooted in the Dark Abyss for a long time, it has experienced several crises of extinction in the past, many of which were caused by hounds.

For the members of the rat tribe, “a dog takes a mouse” is definitely not a joke or a metaphor, but a tragic reality that they are least willing to face.

Shuge was clearly aware of the state of the members of the hunting team. Even the old priest, who seemed to be well-informed and experienced, began to tremble uncontrollably when faced with this situation.

As a member of the tribe that can only keep a low profile as much as possible in the Dark Abyss Wasteland, all they can do now is to try their best to evade and dodge.

However, the arrival of the hounds was too sudden.

Even though this rat-man hunting team began to consciously dodge backwards the moment the incident occurred, their magic used to isolate their own traces was obviously not enough in front of the keen hounds, and soon there were several dark ones. The Deep Hounds also captured traces of the Skaven’s magic left in the surrounding environment.

When the first hound began to bark strangely, the entire search team was injected with amazing vitality in an instant. All the scattered Dark Abyss hounds began to gather in this direction, and their figures continued to emerge from the nooks and crannies of those horns. It appeared that one gloomy crack after another was actually blocking the rat people’s retreat.

Next, what they have to do is to conduct the most detailed search in this locked area.

Shuge gently stroked the hair on the back of the running rat with his palm. Faced with these potential threats, Snicki showed some anxiety. Although its body was completely filled with the magic power of the dark abyss, A strong instinct still connects it with the “kinds” around it, which makes Snitch very worried about the next safety of the surrounding rats.

In the metal disc, the part of the magic power injected by Theseus was still beating actively. Xiuge knew that he could mobilize them at any time.

“It seems like you prefer me to give them a hand?”

“The decision is yours.”

Theseus responded: “The reason why I hand over part of my authority to you is just because you now have many methods and magic that cannot be used normally…Compared with the life and death of these mice, I am more worried about your death because your hands and feet are not agile enough.” Cause more trouble.”

The faceless god sighed: “Don’t forget, this is not only my ‘hometown’, but also the territory of that stupid dog. The chase has just begun, so don’t take it lightly.”

After hearing this, Shuge nodded gently.

Although Theseus did not give clear suggestions on whether to help these rat men, the powerful dark abyss magic active in the metal disc was enough to indicate his attitude.

Xiuge turned his head and saw the old rat-man priest from before looking at him helplessly, with a pair of green eyes full of helpless prayers.

Obviously, it very much hopes to get help from the “messenger of the Mother Goddess” in front of it. However, due to various factors such as status, strength, and belief, it does not dare to express its demands directly.

So Shuge raised his hand, and a tiny ball of magic light appeared from his fingertips and floated in front of the old priest.

“Gather your team, don’t expose your whereabouts, and you don’t need to help me, just watch.”

This brief message is full of majesty that cannot be violated or questioned.

This is a categorical imperative issued from the top down.

“Yes Yes!”

The old priest’s eyes flashed violently, and the instructions from Xiuge were quickly conveyed. For a moment, all members of the hunting team began to gather in the direction of the old priest.

The experience of surviving in the dark abyss made the rat people react quite correctly at this moment. They did not hide in the rock walls and gravel areas, but stayed on a relatively flat ground, holding weapons. The rat warriors were on the outside, while the priests responsible for maintaining the magic rituals were protected at the center.

Although the formation is simple, it is also the safest and longest-lasting strategy when facing the attack of hounds.

Xiuge nodded with satisfaction. Then, the gloomy power originating from the kaleidoscopic god was summoned from the inside of the disc, and thick shadows suddenly erupted around Xiuge. At this moment, all the people who entered the dark abyss wasteland were The dependents and creations that were forced into dormancy and dormancy are now rejuvenated.

The running rat neighed with excitement. It followed Shuge’s will and jumped out of the rat people’s magic ritual. The long tail behind it began to change, and sharp serrations and barbs grew out of the long tail. The end of its middle tail even directly evolved into a sharp blade condensed by the magic power of the dark abyss, and the two huge horns on its head also showed a dangerous light at this moment.

Swinging roots kept coming out of the Dark Abyss Wasteland.

As a clan that directly believed in Theseus, the Destiny Roots reacted even more directly to this magic power and authority. At this moment, Shuge completely took over the control of the entire Destiny Roots group. They were like Dark Abyss. The native products of the wasteland began to roam freely around.

A huge magical illusion that can cover the entire area is generated in an instant. These illusions that directly act on the magic level not only isolate the connection between the inside and outside, but also seriously interfere with the judgment of every Dark Abyss hound.

“You have to be fast. This approach will easily arouse the alert of that stupid dog… and resolve the battle before it comes over in person.”

Theseus’s warning came into his mind, so Xiuge no longer delayed. He jumped off the back of the running rat, liberating its own fighting power. Then, accompanied by the trembling of the thick mist, the hound Teeth and black swords appeared silently from Shuge’s left and right hands. Behind Shuge, the figure of the messenger in the mirror slowly walked out. In its hands, it was clearly holding a huge magic book made of black mist. In this book, all the magic memorized by Xiuge is recorded.

“Here Mel, where the hell is this?”

A familiar voice reached Xiuge’s ears.

That was the voice of General Bernhardt. Not only it, but the will of the rest of the Ernst family that had previously fallen into slumber also revived at this moment. However, before these old guys had time to figure out the situation in front of them, they were forced to take over. He passed the control of all the magic rats and hurriedly threw himself into the battle in front of him.

This is obviously a “rich battle”, so Shuge doesn’t even need to use too many skills. Just relying on these dependents who have gained magic power and the abundant magic power, Shuge is enough to kill these hounds trapped in the illusion. They were all wiped out.

However, it was this rough fighting method that stunned the “rats” who were busy watching nearby.

After witnessing with their own eyes the running rats chasing and killing the hounds, as well as the massive siege launched by the sudden appearance of a huge group of rats, the rat people’s original emotions of surprise, fear, confusion and many other emotions changed in an instant. It has become a strong yearning and admiration.

The predictions of the “prophet” within the tribe were most perfectly confirmed at this moment.

All members of the hunting team are now convinced that what they encountered was definitely the important messenger mentioned in the prophet’s prophecy!

Soon, the killing directed against the search team came to an end. As the last two cowards who tried to cross the edge of the illusion and escape to the outside world were hooked out of the space gap by sharp clawed spider limbs, the battle became complete. Declare the end.

The rat people immediately became active. After getting Shuge’s permission, they began to clean up the battlefield as quickly as possible. Just like before, the priests squeezed the dark abyss magic from the remains of the hounds. came out and compressed into large and small crystals.

Soon, these crystals filled the containers carried by the rat people.

In order not to waste it, a considerable number of ratmen swallowed the extra crystals on the spot, and this behavior caused their own strength to increase rapidly. Among them, there was a relatively weak member of the hunting team who could not bear too much. The body exploded due to the magic power and turned into a ball of miserable flesh and blood on the spot.

The priests had no choice but to stop this stupid behavior. On the other hand, with the issuance of Shuge’s order, the rat people could only bear the pain and destroy all the remaining trophies. After using magic to destroy all traces of the scene, the team resumed. Set off and rush towards the original destination.

Not long after Xiuge and the Ratman team left, a huge exaggerated crack suddenly appeared in the sky above the area where the battle had taken place. Behind this crack, countless dark purple eyes flashed continuously.

He has already sensed the target’s aura.

The aura of that despicable buffoon who provoked himself and the entire Dark Abyss Palace countless times.

However, just like in the past, the other party once again left easily after committing a provocative act, and all traces were completely destroyed. Even the Lord of the Dark Abyss Courtyard was unable to accurately locate the opponent’s traces.

Here, all he could feel was the mark of despair left by his weak descendants and dependents.

…

In the distant sky, the dull roar filled with the desire for killing and hunting turned into a magical mist, sweeping across the surface of the wasteland.

The incompetent rage from the “old friend” obviously brought some joy to Theseus, so he let out two strange laughs, and then disappeared from Shuge’s perception. Needless to say, Shuge could guess that , this guy has slipped back to experience life with his mentor’s shadow.

Of course it was not easy for Xiuge to ask for specific details. If he asked too many questions, he would definitely be the unlucky one.

Although Theseus usually likes to spy on other people’s secrets, if it is his turn to be spied on, he will definitely turn his back in a second.

After witnessing the miracles brought by the “Messenger”, these rat men became extremely excited and excited. As if they had received the supreme reward and encouragement, they began to actively explore the situation ahead. One of them The priest specially organized a small team and rushed to the tribal settlement first. They were already ready to deliver the good news that “the messenger has arrived and the prophecy has been fulfilled”.

In this way, Xiuge continued to move forward with the rat people in the direction of the mountain. As the distance shortened, more details that could not be seen before finally entered his field of vision.

The moment he saw the appearance of this mountain clearly, Xiuge couldn’t help but widen his eyes.

He discovered that his previous guess about this mountain peak was actually 80% correct.

It is indeed not a normal mountain, but an extremely huge dilapidated building.

Although the surface of this huge building has now been severely eroded by the magic in the dark abyss and covered with a thick layer of white bone remains, some exposed smooth surfaces and strange textures that seem to be some kind of sculptures are still there. Its original identity was exposed.

Shuge raised his head and looked at the central area of ​​the triangular building.

There, there is an extremely conspicuous huge crack, and the light that has been guiding Xiuge forward is now slowly flowing out from inside these cracks. In this desolate and strange gloomy world, this bright light The light is really a bit…

Not quite real anymore.
