While walking towards the temple, Duan whispered: "It's all my fault, causing you so much trouble, even your own members of the Holy See..."
Xuan Yue said dejectedly: "How can you blame you? Everything can only be said to be good luck. Brother Babuyi is really pitiful. I don't care what others think of me, as long as you treat me well. Anyway, we will If you want to leave the Holy See and go to the Death Mountain, maybe all these troubles can be thrown away." As they spoke, they had already reached the center of the main hall of the Temple of Light. Envoys representing various forces have already gathered here. In front of many elders, Ah-Dai was no longer embarrassed to hold Xuan Yue's hand, stepped forward a few steps, and saluted the Pope under the angel statue in the front: "Dah-Dai has seen His Excellency the Pope." The envoys saluted and said, "I have met all the teachers."
The pope smiled slightly and said, "You are welcome, the savior. I heard Priest Xuan Yue said that your skills have recovered, right?"
Dumb nodded, and said: "Thank you, Your Excellency, for your concern. My injuries have all healed, and my skills have returned to normal. Everything before was the fault of Dumb, please forgive me, Your Excellency the Pope."
The Pope said: "Since it's over, don't mention it again." At this time, Xuan Yue had already walked to the Pope's side, and stood there respectfully like the other three priests in red. The pope continued: "I asked Priest Xuanyue to call you here, mainly to discuss matters concerning the dark forces. Priest Xuanyue should have already told you. Are you willing to inquire about the whereabouts of the dark forces on behalf of mankind?"
Dumb nodded firmly, and said: "I am willing, Your Excellency. For the peace of the mainland, and for everyone to live a peaceful and comfortable life, I am willing to find the lair of the dark forces."
The Pope smiled and said: "Dumb, you can be said to be the one you are looking forward to! All the teachers present here recommend you as the leader to go to the Death Mountain. We believe that since you are the savior, you will be able to lead mankind out of the predicament and turn the darkness into darkness." Thoroughly clean up from the mainland, and let the light shine on the world forever. The person who will go with you this time has been decided. They are Xuanyue, the red priest of the Holy See, Rock, Brother Yanli from the Puyan tribe, and Zhuo, the elf envoy of the elves. Yun, Mage Keanu from the Tianjin Mage Union, and Mage Oliveira from the Mainland Mage Union. These should be your familiar friends. I hope you can find out the exact situation of the dark forces in the shortest possible time Report back to us, once it is confirmed, the Holy See will unite the four continental countries and mobilize the most elite fighters and magicians of mankind to completely wipe out the source of the dark forces. Do you have any comments?"
Dumb said: "Master Pope, I think it is more dangerous to go to the Death Mountain this time, and it would be better if there are fewer people going. Just let Priest Xuanyue and I go together."
The Pope froze for a moment, then smiled and said: "I know you are concerned about the safety of these friends, don't worry, I have already made full preparations, and Priest Xuanyue will tell you when the time comes. They must go , because they represent all forces on the mainland, and only by seeing them with your own eyes can you convince all parties of the threat posed by the dark forces."
Duan looked at Xuan Yue, and Xuan Yue nodded at him, indicating that what the Pope said was the truth. "My lord pope, I am duty-bound to take this action, but regardless of whether I have actually found the lair of the dark forces, I must return to the Tiangang Sword Sect within three months, because there is an important thing waiting for me to do. Hope You can understand."
The Pope frowned and said, "What can be more important than finding out the whereabouts of the dark forces. But three months are enough. Dumb, you have to know that there is only more than a year before the millennium of the sacred calendar. In order to fight for an early elimination Dark Ones, we must hurry up."
Duan nodded and said: "My lord pope, don't worry, I returned to Tiangang Mountain to strengthen my strength against the dark forces. But I can't say what to do now, please forgive me." Among the people present, only Xi Wen He Xuanyue knew that what Ah-Dai was talking about was the 20-year-old competition between the Four Great Sword Masters.
The Pope nodded and said, "Okay then. You will set off early tomorrow morning. After this place is gone, you guys who are going to explore the Death Mountain on behalf of various parties stay here for a while. I have something to tell you."
Dumb agreed and stepped aside. The pope said to the crowd: "It is recorded in the classics of the Holy See that when the bloody day is in the sky, evildoers will come out, and the blood rain will spread to the world, and the catastrophe will happen. A few years ago, the bloody day appeared once. At that time, I united with all the priests in the Holy See, I tried my best to postpone the day of the catastrophe, but when the blood day appears for the second time, I am afraid it will not be so easy to deal with. Everyone is a human being living on the Tianyuan Continent. It should be said that I I’ve already said it all. I hope you can put aside all previous suspicions and unite together to aim at destroying the dark forces.”
Xi Wen nodded and said: "The Pope is right. We are not only for ourselves, but also for the descendants of generations to come. We must unite and fight against foreign enemies. On behalf of the Tiangang Sword Sect, I announce that I will fully support the Holy See and the dark Against forces, I will never back down. Today, I will immediately return to Tiangang Mountain and wait for news from the Holy See."
The Pope bowed slightly to Xiwen and said, "Thank you for the support of the Tiangang Sword Sect. Please send my regards to the Tiangang Sword Sect."
Fengwen walked up to Xi Wen and said, "On behalf of the Huasheng Empire, I announce that I will support the Holy See together with the Tiangang Sword Sect."... In addition to the Sunset Empire people who were not present, envoys representing all forces in the mainland expressed their support for the Holy See Fight against the forces of darkness. The meeting ended in a happy atmosphere. In order to condense the elites of all parties as soon as possible, after mutual respect, all forces, except for the elves and the head of the Tiangang Sect, Xi Wen, immediately left the holy mountain of the Holy See and returned to their respective territories.
Only the Pope, Xiwen, and the four priests in red are left in the Temple of Light, the Elf Princess Xinger, the Great Elf Envoy Audi, and Dumb, who are going to the Death Mountain to inquire about the dark forces.
The Pope looked around the crowd and said solemnly: "Everyone, if you can completely eliminate the dark forces and save the millennium catastrophe on the mainland, your trip to the Death Mountain will play an extremely important role. Dumb, since a small part of the Death Mountain is in the territory of the Tianyuan Clan Among them, so you have to go together with the elf princess. With the help of the elves, you should be able to enter the Death Mountain relatively smoothly. I heard that the Audi elf envoy said that he once entered the Death Mountain. Now, invite him to come Let me tell you about the specific situation. Grand Elf Envoy, please."
Audi nodded, took a few steps forward, and said: "Back then, to prove my bravery, I rashly entered the Death Mountain. Everything in the Death Mountain is still unforgettable even after decades. The horror there is not at all Anyone can imagine. It is not an exaggeration to call it the Death Mountain. In the Death Mountain, there is a breath of death everywhere, and various undead creatures occupy almost all places. The biggest feature of the undead creatures is, It is not afraid of death, as long as the level is slightly higher, they all have the ability to resurrect."
Oliveira walked to Ah-Dai's side, frowned and said, "The ability to resurrect? Great Elf, can you explain in more detail?"
There was a gleam of fear in Audi's eyes, he sighed, and said: "The ability to resurrect means that those undead creatures can't die at all. I still remember that when I entered the outskirts of the Death Mountain, the first thing I encountered was a dozen or so A skeleton warrior, those skeleton warriors are not considered powerful, with my skill at that time, I defeated them easily, and the skeletons were scattered all over the ground. Just when I was complacent about my achievements, a change happened, The skeletons scattered on the ground were reassembled. In just a few blinks, the skeletons that had been defeated stood in front of me intact and launched a more powerful attack. Among the undead creatures, skeletons are just the most common I have also encountered headless death knights, zombies with green slime flowing from their bodies, and many unnamed creatures. They are not afraid of being destroyed at all, unless they can be reduced to ashes. Otherwise, even if they are knocked down, they can stand up again in the shortest time and continue to attack. For undead creatures, the anger of human beings is their favorite, as long as they can suck the soul and flesh and blood of a human being, Undead creatures can become more powerful. Therefore, as soon as humans are discovered, they will rush forward one after another, desperately attacking. If I am not lucky, I am afraid that I have already become the food of those undead. Hey, no If I'm discouraged, if it wasn't for those undead creatures who couldn't leave the Death Mountain for some reason, I'm afraid they would have already invaded the mainland."
The dumb people gasped. Although they had thought that the Death Mountain would be very dangerous, they didn't realize until now that it was so terrifying. Immortal undead, how to deal with it! Even with Duan's cultivation base, he couldn't help beating drums secretly in his heart. For a moment, the Temple of Light fell into silence.
After a long while, the rock asked a bit difficultly: "Is there no way to restrain the undead creatures? If it is really immortal, then we probably will not be able to rush to the inside of the Death Mountain no matter what."
Dumb's eyes lit up, and before Audi could answer, he rushed to say: "There is a way. I can use my fighting spirit to fly in the air, as long as I inquire about the situation inside the Death Mountain from the air, wouldn't it be enough?"
Audi glanced at Dumb, shook his head, and said: "It's not as simple as you think. At least half of the undead in the Death Mountain have the ability to fly. Although I have never seen what the strongest undead creature looks like, but I'm afraid you can't fight against those creatures. According to legend, in the Death Mountain, the strongest undead creature is the bone dragon, which is nearly 100 meters long. Just imagine, such a powerful creature has the ability to be immortal , How will we deal with it! Even if there is only one head, I am afraid it is not something you can destroy."
Dumb was silent, yes! Undead creatures may also have the ability to fly. Doesn't the small bone in his dragon's blood (the name Duan gave the bone dragon) have the ability to fly? Its body length is only more than 20 meters, and it already has such a huge ability, a hundred-meter bone dragon? What will be the concept
Audi sighed, and said: "As far as I know, the only thing that can restrain undead creatures is the holy light magic of the Holy See. But to what extent it can be restrained, I don't know."
Duan looked at Xuanyue and said, "If light magic can restrain undead creatures, with Yueyue around, we should be fine."
At that time, he was appointed by the gods to come to the mainland to lead our human resistance. In the end, evil was still unable to defeat justice, and the Dark Demon King was forced to retreat to the current Death Mountain by our human powerhouses. With the ability bestowed by the gods, His Majesty Shen Yu completely defeated the invasion of the Dark Demon Race. In fact, at that time, he wanted to completely wipe out the Dark Demon Race, but he discovered the entrance to the Demon Realm. In order to seal this entrance, His Majesty Shen Yu had to give up killing the Dark Demons. After reaching an agreement with the Dark Demon God, he was completely sealed at the entrance, using his evil body and the power from the gods to completely seal the entrance. sealed. The content of the agreement includes one item, that is, human beings will no longer hunt down and kill the remnants of the Dark Demon Race, and let them live in a corner of the continent. Although the entrance to the Demon Realm was successfully sealed, His Majesty Shenyu discovered that the corpses of the soldiers and various powerful creatures who died in this battle turned into undead creatures under the breath of death emanating from the entrance of the Demon Realm . The power of those undead creatures even surpassed the threat of the dark demons. In order to prevent the already fragile human beings from suffering another blow, His Majesty Shen Yu resolutely decided to use his life for the next fifty years as a guide to summon the powerful power of the gods and completely seal the entire mountain of death. Under the powerful divine power of the gods, undead creatures will never be able to step out of the death mountain. Later, His Majesty Shen Yu's untimely death was due to the consumption of too much vitality. Although the undead creatures cannot leave the Death Mountain, it has also become their territory. His Majesty Shen Yu issued a decree, no matter who it is, without the permission of the Holy See, it is absolutely not allowed to step into the Death Mountain. The reason why such a decree was issued was because he was afraid that more people would die there and become members of the dead creatures. In the few years after saving the continent from catastrophe, His Majesty Shen Yu would rely on his superb cultivation to go to the center of the Death Mountain to inquire whether the seal on the entrance to the Demon Realm was strong. When he went back in the fifth year, he discovered that he could not break through the barrier of undead creatures with his own strength. It can be seen how powerful these undead are. This is the source of the Death Mountain. " The power completely sealed the entrance.

The pope's words not only stunned Duan and the others, but even Xuan Ye, Mang Xiu, Yuma and Xuan Yue were taken aback by the secret of the Holy See, and were extremely surprised. They never expected that there are so many twists and turns in the origin of the Death Mountain. Xuan Yue said: "Master Pope, according to what you said, isn't there no hope for us to enter the Death Mountain? How can we find out whether the dark forces are there? Could the so-called Millennium Calamity be these undead creatures? Once the enchantment set by His Majesty Shenyu is broken and these undead creatures leave the Death Mountain to wreak havoc, it may be really difficult to deal with, and it is very possible that the entire continent will become a world of undead."
The pope shook his head and said, "This possibility is unlikely. If the continent is occupied by undead creatures, it will not benefit the demon world at all. Besides, the intelligence of those undead creatures is very low. For thousands of years, they have already adapted to the environment in the Death Mountain. Life, I am afraid that I may not leave. The enchantment arranged by His Majesty Shen Yu is specially aimed at undead creatures, and it is not so easy to break through. What I am worried about now is that the Dark Holy Church will lift the seal on the entrance of the Demon World. Once the seal is broken, The entrance is very likely to expand. At that time, the demon army will invade the mainland. Not to mention that we have no way to resist, even the gods, I am afraid there is no way. I have never understood how the millennium catastrophe will come Continent, I didn’t realize it until I heard what Luoshui said that day, so I always believed that what she said was true. What we have to do now is to buy time. According to previous judgments, the seal at the entrance of the demon world may be in the blood It will be released when the sun comes, and we must completely wipe out the Dark Sacred Cult in the Death Mountain before that, so as not to give them the chance to open the entrance to the Demon Realm."
Dumb said puzzledly: "Master Pope, I have a question. Even if we find the headquarters of the dark forces in the Death Mountain, what's the use? There are so many undead armies outside the Death Mountain, as you said, then It’s not something we humans can fight against! Once these undead kill our human fighters and absorb their souls, I’m afraid the situation of humans will be even more dangerous.” Dumb’s question also expressed the feelings of Rock and others, Everyone looked at the Pope together, waiting for his answer.
The pope smiled slightly and said, "Since I let you go, I have my reasons. Yes, undead creatures are indeed powerful, but they are not invincible. Under the effect of the sacred light magic, most undead cannot resist. As long as we can confirm that our conjecture is correct, I will lead all the priests of the Holy See to the Death Mountain to completely wipe out the middle and low-level undead creatures there. Of course, this will inevitably arouse the anger of those high-level undead creatures. The armies of various countries are used to Jointly deal with those high-level undead creatures. As long as we can entangle them and rush in to eliminate the dark forces, we can save the catastrophe of the mainland. This time you are going to the Death Mountain, not only to find the dark forces, but also to Let’s find out the number of high-level undead creatures, so that we can be prepared. You all gather around, and I’ll show you something.”
The crowd gathered around the Pope, and with a swipe in the air, the Pope opened his golden space barrier, and a gorgeous colorful bead flew in front of the crowd under the urging of his thoughts. The pope casually pointed, and a golden light shot out. Stimulated by the holy energy, the seven-color light beads emitted a soft light, and the large area of light gradually condensed, showing a somewhat blurred figure.
The pope solemnly said: "I tell you, this map was left by His Majesty Shen Yu back then. It is the only map on the mainland that records the exact topography of the Death Mountain."
In astonishment, everyone looked at the map carefully, and saw that there were many rolling mountains, one after another not very high mountains were closely connected, and the terrain was extremely complicated.
The Pope said: "I will give this map to Priest Xuanyue to carry. In the Death Mountain, it is shrouded in clouds and mists all the year round, and there is no vegetation, so it is difficult to distinguish the direction. This map is very important to you. The Death Mountain occupies The ground is very wide, almost as big as three Tiangang Mountains. Look, this is your destination." The pope pointed to the center of the map, a basin surrounded by mountains. "Here is the place where His Majesty Shen Yu fought against the Dark Demon God and sealed him at the entrance of the Demon Race. If the dark forces were in the Death Mountain, this would definitely become their habitat. You must be careful, the evil aura there is very strong. Nong, don't be affected by your mind. Xuanyue, once you enter the Death Mountain, you must cast God's blessing on everyone at all times, and use the sacred light magic to drive away the evil spirit. Thousands of years have passed, maybe the landscape will change, However, there have been no earthquakes near the Death Mountain, so I don’t think there will be much change. As long as you can explore according to the map, you should be able to find the destination. As for how to deal with the undead and how to enter the Death Mountain, you must It depends on your abilities. However, you have to keep in mind that if you can't do anything, you should immediately withdraw from the Death Mountain. Let's limit it to three months. If you still have no way to reach the central area of the Death Mountain within three months , Then, you return to the Holy See immediately, even if it is a risk, I will mobilize all the forces on the mainland to attack the Death Mountain together."
Seeing the Pope's resolute expression, Dumb's heart trembled. He knew how heavy the responsibility was on him, and it was related to the safety of the entire continent! He secretly made up his mind, no matter what, he must find a way to enter the Death Mountain to find out accurate information.
Xi Wen said: "You have heard what the Pope said. You have a long way to go, you must be careful. Dumb, do you still remember the scene at the end of the killer headquarters? The leader of the killer union calls himself the first member of the Dark Sacred Church. The Fifth Elder. The form he finally turned into was different from any creature on our mainland. If I guessed right, he was probably the demon creature that sneaked in when the entrance to the demon world was opened. Since he is alone The fifth elders are all demon creatures, and the high-level members of the Dark Sacred Cult are probably all demons. Therefore, you must not only face undead creatures during this trip, but also be vigilant at all times. Don't be fooled by the dark saints formed by dark forces. Teach what to ride."
Ah-Dai recalled the appearance of the leader of the Assassin's Guild back then, that was indeed an evil race that he had never seen before! It actually has the ability to regenerate.
The Pope said: "I discussed it with Head Xi Wen. You must keep in mind that your trip is not to kill the enemy, but to conduct reconnaissance. Try not to get too entangled with powerful enemies. Once you complete the mission of reconnaissance, immediately Leave." Looking around the crowd, he took back the map, handed the colorful light beads to Xuan Yue, and said solemnly: "Children, the safety of the mainland depends on you. Dumb is protected by the blood of the dragon and the true energy of life, evil energy It is not easy to invade, the rest of you are relatively fragile, I personally made a few amulets, and you carry them with you, at critical moments, they can help you resist some evil invasions." He said, he took out a few from his enchantment The golden rings were handed out to everyone. The inner brilliance of the ring, with everyone's cultivation base, can clearly feel the huge sacred energy contained in it.
"Okay, you all go to rest. Tomorrow morning, set off immediately and head to the Death Mountain. If there is any need, just say, the Holy See will do its best to satisfy you."
Duan took a step forward in embarrassment, came to the Pope, first bowed respectfully to the Pope, and then said: "My lord Pope, I have one more thing to ask you."
The pope smiled and said, "If you have anything to say, you are welcome."
Dumb looked at Xi Wen beside him, and said in a low voice: "I, I want to beg you to marry Yueyue to me. Of course, not now, but, I, I want to make a marriage with Yueyue first, and I don't want to make any more troubles." I’m really afraid of losing her again.” This was what Ah-Dai had thought about a long time ago, and the reason why Xi Wen didn’t leave with everyone just now was because he received Ah-Dai’s voice transmission and stayed to make decisions for him.
Xuan Yue didn't expect that Ah-Dai would propose marriage at this time, she was immediately ashamed, lowered her head and played with the corner of the sacrificial robe with her hands, without saying a word.
Xiwen walked up to Ah-Dai, smiled and said, "Master Pope, these two children have experienced too many hardships, so you can help them. Ah-Dai is a member of our Tiangang Sword Sect. As his elder, I can completely Make the decision for him. I assure you, Miss Xuanyue will not be wronged if she marries him. "
At this time, the Pope no longer had the previous majesty, and with a kind smile on his face, he said: "I can't decide this matter. Our Holy See has regulations. Even the Pope is not allowed to intervene in the marriages of clergy. Moon, are you right?"
Xuan Yue knew that the Pope was repaying her backlash when she insisted on marrying Babui, her pretty face blushed even more, she lowered her head and said angrily, "Grandpa, you, just make the decision for me."
The pope laughed and said, "Now you are willing to let grandpa decide? Ye'er, what do you think?" He turned his eyes to his son, asking for his opinion.
Dumb's eyes turned to Xuan Ye as the Pope also turned, and he couldn't help feeling nervous. He knew that Xuan Ye had always had a bad opinion of him, and he was afraid that he would stop him, so he couldn't help showing a pleading look in his eyes.
