In the depths of the labyrinth-like cave, the tremors above his head grew louder and louder.
Pasha knew that they were approaching here. They were numerous, huge, and menacing.
She stretched her limbs into the soil, spread to the upper floors, and then "saw" everything that happened outside the mountain—black demonic beasts ran between the mountains, and several entrances to the maze ruins were blocked by sturdy hell beasts. So much so that the hybrids that followed frantically gnawed at the dread beast's body and internal organs until a new passage was opened through it - if they didn't, they would be squeezed to death by other demonic beasts.
It's just that this passage will be blocked again soon, and the method to clear it is to repeat the process of the previous step. The result is that the evil beast has not yet invaded the core area of the ruins, and the scene at the entrance is like a bloody purgatory.
There is also no peace between the strata. The wasteland beasts are walking through them. The mouthparts covered with sharp teeth are the most effective digging tools. A large number of symbiotic hybrid species, once this monster breaks through the defense line, often causes huge casualties to the defender.
There were even mutated flying beasts in the sky, but they couldn't enter the ruins and could only hover and howl in the air.
It was an indescribable experience, and she obviously did not witness it directly, but whether it was the screeching over the mountains, every tremor on the ground, or the sound of friction in the soil, all of them were accurately transmitted into her mind through thousands of tentacles. , and formed countless lifelike pictures.
This is the largest evil beast attack since the beginning of winter.
Pasha withdrew her limbs and sank deeper into the ground.
From time to time, fine pieces of soil fell from the top of the cave, smashing the braziers on both sides of the passage—she didn’t need firelight to see every stone in the ground, but the companions who were transformed into the God’s Punishment Army needed it, just at this moment. Everyone has moved to the labyrinth hall, and she put out the open fire in the basin.
"How about the situation above?"
As soon as he entered the hall, El Xia's voice sounded in his mind.
"The wasteland beast closest to us almost broke through to the third floor," Pasha projected the answer into everyone's consciousness, "What about the situation under the labyrinth?"
"No abnormality was found," El Xia replied, "but I saw a few charred corpses."
Since the replacement of the new body, Pasha's cognition of combat has changed greatly. The original flat world suddenly became three-dimensional. Since the enemy can move freely underground, the survivors must always pay attention to the situation under their feet - as long as they are not standing at the end of the abyss, they should not ignore the threats lurking deeper.
Fortunately, there is a river of magma flowing under the ruins, which seals most of the bottom shell of the labyrinth, saving them a lot of trouble. From the current point of view, there is no evil beast that is not afraid of flames.
"How long will the scourge instrument be ready?" Pasha looked at Celine.
"I don't know, half an hour, or an hour?" The latter's anxious voice came from the magic core, "I have tried my best, but the damaged location in the forty-third area has just been repaired, and Lord Eleanor needs time to come. calculate!"
"Don't worry, they won't come so fast," she reassured. "The large hybrids will get stuck outside the burrows. Let us deal with the smaller demon beasts."
"That's right, consider it a daily practice," Elena said. "With us here, the evil beasts won't be able to attack the hall."
"Actually, I don't think I should take back the relics of the gods so quickly. Wouldn't it be better to let Starfall City consume it for a while?" someone said.
"Then they also have to defend Hermes. Without the God's Punishment Army, those mortals are useless at all!" El Xia retorted.
"The city wall can effectively block the evil beasts, and the kerosene and trebuchet can still give these beasts a head-on attack. We just need to lurk in the secret temple and wait for them to retrieve the relics when they break the city."
"There is a hidden trap under the cathedral. What if the other party triggers a fall trap? It's a trivial matter for us to be buried alive. If the relic falls into the hands of the devil, it will be over. In any case, we can't take this risk."
"Stop arguing," Pasha interrupted. "Since the relics have been brought back, there is no other way to go. Have you forgotten what Natalya-sama said? Arguments only stay before choices, no matter what you do. Whatever decision we make, we should not regret it.”
After she spoke, the consciousness of others did not sound again, apparently tacitly acquiescing to this statement.
In the era of Taquila, such a situation basically did not occur. Lower-level witches had to obey their superiors unconditionally, and those who violated them would be severely punished. One of the most serious disputes in the Federation was the dispute between Nataya and Akalis. Before breaking with Fallen Star City, Nataya said the above words to all her followers, and then launched an attack on the Queen of Meteor Stars. attack.
Since then, Taquila survivors are no longer divided into superiors and subordinates, and disputes have gradually increased. But Pasha didn't mind that at all—she preferred a dynamic organization to a cold system.
Just when everyone changed the subject and discussed how to block the evil beast, Pasha suddenly felt a strange message coming from a tentacle!
Violent tremors echoed in the rock formations, as if something heavy fell down. The speed was as fast as there was no obstacle. It broke through several layers of labyrinths in a row, and after a few breaths, it was already approaching the depths of the hall!
how can that be
The ground is full of dense soil and stones. Even if it is a wasteland beast, it will take several quarters of an hour to dig a layer down. This is not on the surface, so how can it move so quickly
Pasha hurriedly moved more tentacles in the direction of the movement—the more tentacles monitoring an area, the more "pictures" she received.
Then her heart sank suddenly.
At some point in this area, a six- or seven-mile-long crack appeared, dividing the earth in two. At first glance, it looked like a cliff extending from the ground. A wild beast just pierced through the mountain wall, rolled down all the way, and landed right above the hall.
"Prepare to meet the enemy!" Pasha raised her awareness warning to the loudest, "Magic core direction!"
Just when everyone was slightly stunned, the stone slab at the top of the hall shattered, and a long and wild beast slipped down from the crack, and the body covered with scratches and bruises glowed a dark blue light under the reflection of the magic core—obviously The fall caused great damage to it, but even so, it still completed its mission with its last breath.
Just as the giant beast landed, dozens of mixed-species demon beasts tore open its belly and rushed towards Celine who was closest.
