Even the deep caves and the power of magic cannot completely dispel the darkness that has accumulated for hundreds of millions of years. WWw.QuAnBen-XIaoShuo.COm
A mysterious black shadow flickered, and an arrow like a poisonous snake tore through the air silently, shooting out in a weird arc. Lin Qi, who was sitting next to a magic ruby that emitted red light and heat, suddenly raised his hand and grabbed the weird arrow.
The arrow exploded with a 'chila' sound, and a ball of dark slime covered Lin Qi's hands.
The highly corrosive venom burned Lin Qi's skin and made a "chichi" sound. Lin Qi sneered and wiped the mucus on his hands on the ground. The hard rock was immediately corroded to create a hole the size of a human head. He gently patted Yun who was sitting next to him and whispered: "It seems that we are not far from the target. Such a powerful archer has already appeared."
There was a dull crashing sound from the place where the arrow had just been shot, and along with a shrill howl, a large amount of blue-purple blood sprayed out. The sound of low footsteps came, day and night, wearing heavy armor, striding back carrying several twisted corpses.
With the head of a wolf, the body of a dog, and the claws of a chicken, this is the inferior offspring of a hybrid between a dog-headed devil and some kind of monster. They were no more than three feet tall, with a strange-shaped bow and arrow made of old black vines hanging on their body, and a quiver hanging on their waist, with more than a dozen weird-shaped arrows inserted in it.
It has been more than a month since they entered the passage. With the continuous sacrifice of cannon fodder soldiers under Arthur's command, the army found a safe passage to the Fourth Abyss with efficiency beyond everyone's imagination. As for how many soldiers died in the process, this data is only in the hands of Arthur and a group of senior officials from the Temple of Punishment.
They didn't speak, so no one knew how many people were killed or injured for this passage.
Anyway, Arthur himself doesn't know how many soldiers there are under his command now. He himself doesn't know how many people he recruited to enter the passage. So no matter how many people are killed or injured, outsiders can't know what happened for this passage. How many people died.
one million? Two million? Who cares? At least Arthur and Esther wouldn't care.
During the day, he threw several corpses heavily next to Lin Qi. He muttered in a low voice: "It's them again, the sentries we sent out. Three of them were killed by them. They were all killed by their arrows."
Lin Qi nodded silently. This place was already deep underground. It was probably not far from the fourth abyss. This kind of hybrid little devil had already appeared. Their fighting power is not comparable to those of Warcraft and Poisonous Insects. Half a month ago, the family's private army brought by Lin Qi began to suffer casualties. In just half a month, the mercenaries Lin Qi hired from Vyas also suffered hundreds of casualties.
"Tell everyone to be on alert. The most important thing is to keep an eye on Arthur's army." Lin Qi ordered coldly: "When we reach the Fourth Abyss, we have a detailed map there, no matter where they want to go or what they want to do. .We all have to keep an eye on them.”
Lin Qi's voice was very low, so no one could hear him except a few people around him.
Three days later, Lin Qi led a large group of people to a huge underground cave. There actually stood a small walled city about two hundred meters long and wide, garrisoned by hundreds of soldiers. There are tall arrow towers standing at the four corners of the city built of black stone. Several men who are obviously mixed-race black elves are standing on the arrow towers, and arrows are sweeping down like raindrops.
More than 20,000 of Arthur's men surrounded the city, and corpses had been piled up on a layer more than three meters high under the city wall. The soldiers were able to step directly onto the city wall on the corpses. However, these soldiers had thin armor and extremely limited combat effectiveness. Although they continued to attack the city under the coercion of the military judge. But none of them could gain a foothold on the wall. …,
In this small city, apart from a few mixed-blood black elves on the arrow tower, there are only a dozen little two-horned war ghosts on the top of the city who can be considered relatively powerful abyss creatures. In addition, the guards in the city are all mixed-blood little lemures and little devils.
But it was these low-class abyss creatures, hundreds of weak abyss creatures, that gave Arthur's more than 20,000 peasant soldiers a huge advantage. Those little evil demons were jumping around "chirping", making sharp screams and scurrying around like fleas. With a slight wave of the small wooden stick in their hands, a fireball the size of a fist shot out.
The small fireballs exploded on the soldiers who were only wearing leather armor or cotton-padded clothes. The explosive force was enough to knock away a dozen soldiers with little strength. The fire ignited the soldiers' clothing. Their skin and flesh were burned to the point of crackling.
The little devils wore crude leather armor made of monster skins, held crude metal shields, and wielded dozens of kilograms of heavy weapons. They stood on the top of the city and hacked at the soldiers indiscriminately. These little devils are not very strong either, they are probably at the level of mid-level human beings. But their strength is much stronger than these ordinary soldiers, every time they swing their weapons. There would be one, two or three soldiers who would scream miserably and be chopped off and rolled down from the top of the city.
And those two-horned little war ghosts are even more ferocious. They all have mid-level or above combat prowess, and their strength is far beyond that of ordinary people. They wore fine metal armor and held long two-handed swords, running back and forth on the city wall like lawnmowers.
They waved their long knives, and the arc-shaped blade stretched several meters long. Often, when the knives fell, more than a dozen soldiers were cut in half. The soldiers who were cut in half were unable to die for a while. Their upper bodies were squirming and struggling crazily, and screams were coming from their mouths. This horrific scene made the soldiers feel depressed, and they no longer had the ability to fight at all.
There were also several thin harpies in the air. These evil creatures that exuded a foul odor emitted sharp laughter, and various negative states fell like raindrops, constantly blessing the attacking soldiers. Unfortunately, the strength of these soldiers is extremely low. In addition, their fighting spirit is constantly weakened. Negative states such as paralysis, fear, blindness, and confusion make them even more vulnerable.
Not long after Lin Qi and others arrived, the morale of the more than 20,000 soldiers in front of them had completely collapsed. They screamed in terror and ran around like headless wasps.
But there are five or six other passages leading to this cave, and Arthur's troops are constantly pouring out of each passage. Several of the armies were peasant soldiers who were exactly the same as the soldiers who had been frustrated in the siege. The only one who came out of one passage was a heavily armored crossbow unit belonging to the Snow Fox Legion, one of Arthur's elite legions. .
Facing these frantically escaping soldiers, a cold voice from the Snow Fox Legion's brigade rang out: "All deserters will be killed on the spot!"
More than two thousand heavy-armored crossbowmen who entered the cave simultaneously raised the magic crossbows in their hands. They fired the crossbow arrows at the running troops with expressionless faces. More than eight thousand pure steel arrows brought out harsh sounds. Strange whistles broke into the crowd of running soldiers crazily.
The distance was too close and the power of the magic crossbow was too strong. The defeated soldiers had no armor at all, and more than 8,000 lasing crossbow bolts penetrated the soldiers' bodies easily. One, two, three, dozens of crossbow arrows even penetrated the chests of five people in a row before finally stopping due to exhaustion.
With a single salvo, more than 3,000 defeated soldiers fell to the ground spurting blood. Some of them had their lungs pierced by arrows but were still alive for a while. They opened their mouths and screamed in pain like a broken windmill. Large sheets of blood mist continued to pour from them. Spouting out of his mouth, the scene was really indescribably sad. …,
Lin Qi looked at the soldiers of the Snow Fox Legion with cold eyes, and he shouted in a low voice: "Bilibili, destroy that walled city!"
Crouching on Lin Qi's body, Bilibili, who was sneaking out through the gap between Lin Qi's thighs, sprang up. He let out a proud smile, and then pushed hard with both hands towards Swing forward.
A harsh sound broke through the air, and dozens of black fireballs the size of water tanks emitted a dull roar of wind and fire. They shot out from the top of the cave like meteors and fell heavily into the small walled city. When the first fireball exploded, a section of the wall of the walled city instantly disappeared without a trace in the black firelight. Several two-horned war ghosts showing off their power on the top of the city also followed a large number of little evil demons and little war ghosts at the same time. Turn into blue smoke.
The fireballs continued to fall, and the walled city was engulfed in a terrible fire. The air waves from the explosion swept across. The defeated soldiers fell to the ground one after another, and some were knocked over several times by the air waves.
In just a few breaths, the small walled city had disappeared without a trace, leaving a deep pit in its place.
Lin Qi didn't even look at the people of the Snow Fox Legion. He just shouted loudly: "A battle fortress of abyssal creatures has appeared here. It seems that we are close to our destination! All soldiers are on alert, the enemy may appear at any time. Well, we Keep going, keep going!”
The Longshan Family's army rushed past the Snow Fox Legion's troops like an iron stream. The Snow Fox Legion's faces turned ugly, but they no longer dared to take action against those defeated troops.
The defeated soldiers who thought they were certain to die looked at each other in horror, and then wisely followed behind the Longshan family's large group of troops.
The mighty army continued to pour into the cave from several passages, and then simultaneously went down the only passage behind the walled city.
After passing this walled city, there was a smooth road ahead. After traveling for dozens of miles, a vast underground space suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
A warm and moist wind blew against my face, and at the exit of the passage was a vast plain covered with huge mushrooms and lichen moss.
More than ten miles away, there is a large lake with a radius of several hundred miles. Beside the lake stands a castle covering an area of more than ten miles. A black devil flag is flying on the highest tower of the castle.
The fourth abyssal world has arrived! (You are welcome to come. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
