This was the first time that the [Demon] team saw the legendary Ancestral Temple. Although they had heard of the name of the Ancestral God many times in the Night Watch meeting room before, it was not until they saw this mythical relic from prehistoric times with their own eyes that they realized how narrow and conservative their previous imaginations were.
Even though it is just the simplest stones stacked together, it always exudes an indescribable sense of oppression. Standing in front of this magnificent stone city, the accumulation of history and culture is like a flood, washing away every thinking soul.
As the [Demon] team stepped off the plane, the eleven Golden Immortal agents behind them followed closely behind. Everyone gathered at the entrance of the stone city, and the atmosphere was a bit depressing.
Fang Mo turned around and looked at Luan Lie and the others, who nodded slightly.
“… Let’s go in.”
Fang Mo took the lead and walked into the ancestral temple, followed by everyone else.
As soon as they stepped into the stone city, a majestic and deep voice came from a distance:
"Who has set foot in the Ancestral Temple?"
These few short sentences shocked everyone to the point of being frozen in place. An unprecedented sense of oppression enveloped their hearts, making it impossible for them to move forward even a single step.
At this moment, Fang Mo took a deep breath and spoke calmly:
"Junior Fang Mo, I am here to respect the order of Monk Su Ming."
Upon hearing these words, there was silence for a moment in the Ancestral Temple. The stones blocking the crowd slowly moved away, revealing a path leading into the depths.
Everyone looked at each other in astonishment, followed Fang Mo, passed through one tall stone after another, and finally arrived at the towering stone platform.
The moment they saw the statues of the Twelve Ancestral Gods, they couldn't help but feel like paying homage to them.
"Is that it..." Luan Lie sighed.
"Captain, have we completed the mission that Monk Fate mentioned?" Su Yuan asked in confusion, "What's next? It shouldn't be that simple?"
Fang Mo nodded slightly, with a complicated expression.
"Next, I will issue the next mission as the captain of the [Devil] for the last time..."
Hearing the words "the last time as the captain of the [Devil] team", everyone was stunned. Before they could figure out the meaning of this sentence, Fang Mo's voice sounded again.
"The next mission... to lure Chaos into hiding!"
Trapping [Chaos]? ! !
As soon as these four words came out, everyone in the [Devil] team was stunned, and then a look of disbelief appeared on their faces!
"Kill Chaos? How is that possible?" Su Yuan was the first to shake his head. "We haven't even reached the ceiling of humanity, how can we possibly fight against Chaos? That's the Pillar God of the Ksitigarbha that even Commander Lin can't kill!"
"Of course we can't kill Chaos, but here is a way to kill Him." Fang Mo pointed to the ground beneath his feet and spoke seriously.
"Method? What method?"
"... This, you don't need to know for now." Fang Mo was silent for a moment and replied.
Everyone looked at each other, their faces still full of confusion. Lu Baoyou, who had always been aloof from the crowd, suddenly spoke:
"What do you need us to do?"
Fang Mo organized his words and said, "In this ancestral temple, there is a method that can wipe out [Chaos]... But there are two problems in realizing this method. One is how to activate it stably under the premise that [Chaos] has no time to interrupt it; the other is how to lure [Chaos] into the ancestral temple...
We will take care of the former, but we may need your help with the latter.
A few minutes later, the ancestral gods will hide the ancestral temple in the void, and then use their space magic to forcibly drag [Chaos] into the long-distance transmission track, and the destination of the transmission is here... But [Chaos] is very powerful, and he may have the ability to interrupt the space transmission midway.
Once He does this, He will forcibly break away from the orbit. According to calculations, His landing point after breaking away from the orbit will be any point within fifty kilometers around the Ancestral Temple.
And your mission is to complete the last fifty kilometers of enticement and bring Him here."
Fang Mo paused, "Of course, this is only the worst case scenario... Maybe [Chaos] can't break free of the power of space teleportation and is directly trapped in the Ancestral Temple. In that case, there is no need for you to take action."
Li Zhenzhen pondered for a moment.
"You mean... we're like a safety measure?"
"That's right." Fang Mo nodded. "Inside this ancestral temple, there is something called 'Earth Anchor', which has a natural suppressive effect on the aura of Cthulhu creatures. Once an excessive amount of 'Earth Anchor' is carried in a short period of time, the aura emitted will cause extreme disgust to all Cthulhu creatures."
"Is this a provocation to the life of the K-type?"
"right."
"So, if [Chaos] breaks free from the constraints of space teleportation and lands outside the Ancestral Temple, our task is to use ourselves to carry this aura and then become the bait to lure and kill [Chaos] in the last fifty kilometers?" Lu Baoyou understood Fang Mo's meaning.
"… right."
Everyone in the [Demon] team fell silent.
Using oneself as bait to lure Chaos to death... This is the real mission that Monk Fate has given to the Demonic Team.
No wonder the fatalistic monk repeatedly emphasized the danger and the extremely high mortality rate before setting off... What they are about to do next is to provoke Chaos with their own lives!
The huge gap in strength between the two sides meant that the [Demon] team could only flee, and among the remaining six members, how many of them could survive after angering [Chaos]?
"Since I have to complete the final preparations in the Ancestral Temple with the other Golden Immortal agents... so this final mission will be fully handed over to Vice Captain Lu Baoyou for command."
Fang Mo's gaze fell on Lu Baoyou at the edge, and the latter frowned slightly.
"Lu Baoyou, haven't you always wanted to compete with me for the position of captain? This time, the [Devil] is handed over to you... Whether you can lure [Chaos] here is related to the survival of the entire Daxia. No matter what method you use, you must complete the task!"
Fang Mo's tone was extremely solemn when he spoke the last few words. He stared into Lu Baoyou's eyes, as if he wanted to convey something.
Lu Baoyou glanced at him calmly, and after a moment of silence, nodded:
"I see."
After he finished speaking, Lu Baoyou looked at the remaining four members of the [Devil] team and said calmly: "Now, I will command the [Devil] team. Before we start the mission, if anyone does not want to carry out this mission... you can apply to me to withdraw from the [Devil] team."
Hearing this, Fang Mo was stunned.
He looked at Lu Baoyou's calm face with a complicated expression...
Lu Baoyou's eyes swept across the remaining people one by one, and finally stayed on Li Zhenzhen the longest, as if waiting for their replies.
Li Zhenzhen turned around and looked at Fang Mo for a moment, pursed her lips, and said firmly: "I won't retreat!"
"I won't retreat either!" Su Yuan spoke immediately.
"No retreat!" Han Chuang shook his head.
"I won't retreat either... If I can risk my life to kill a [Chaos], then this life will be worth it!" Liu Jun's eyes sparkled.
…
…
Ahem, originally I planned to finish it in May, but I underestimated the amount of plot at the end... Judging from the current progress, the official completion will most likely be delayed until June.
The rest of the plot has a lot of ups and downs, and the content is quite large. Sanjiu needs to slow down and reorganize the outline to put a perfect end to this story. In addition, I have to go to Hangzhou for a meeting in the next two days, so I will probably only update twice in the next few days~~(〃'▽'〃)
