The army of the undead that roams Tartarus is mind-numbing to look at.
No, maybe it shouldn't be called the "big army"—because Hades, who once ruled this hell, is dead, and the undead who were originally under his control have also lost control. They were originally a legion, but after losing the highest After domination, the countless undead creatures have become leaderless rogues, wandering aimlessly across the collapsing wastes of Tartarus, as blind as ants crawling around.
However, such an army of the dead without leadership does not mean that the danger is reduced. On the contrary, just because they have lost a unified command, the land is full of scattered undead creatures, and the roads that could have passed safely Now they are all occupied by wandering corpses.
Hao Ren and his party were on a high ground looking down at the situation below. They saw that the plain leading to the "Bronze Palace" was full of rickety skeletons and carrion zombies, as well as translucent phantoms of souls lurking around. , These seemingly fragile guys have the number of people with intensive phobia to commit suicide on the spot. Hao Ren has no doubt that as long as one undead falls down, millions of undead will come immediately after hearing the news. If the group of them breaks through forcefully, they will probably be able to break through, but it will undoubtedly consume a lot of physical strength and energy—now they have not even seen the gate of Mount Olympus, and they are self-defeating in Tartarus. Eight hundred, is really not a wise move.
"Haven't you demon hunters already swept across this place?" Heatherana looked at Hasu with dissatisfaction, "You even rushed into the Copper Palace and killed Hades—why didn't you clean up these things on the plain? skeleton?"
"No, my compatriots killed all the undead creatures they encountered," Hasselblad couldn't make an expression on his face, but there seemed to be some helplessness in his eyes, "It's just that half of the undead who were killed got up again."
Hao Ren also noticed some details of the undead creatures at this time: almost all of them were wounded, some were missing arms and legs, some were crawling around on the ground with only half of their bodies left, some didn't even have heads, but a A headless corpse swaying on the ground, and many skeletal undead simply stand up together. The bones on their bodies are of different sizes and crooked. If it weren't for the dark force to forcibly connect those limbs together, I am afraid that these joints that have been put together by force will fall apart before they can move.
This is an army that was wiped out once and then rose again.
The holy magic of the demon hunter has excellent lethality against undead dark creatures, and the undead burned to death by the holy flame can never be resurrected, but the main task of the demon hunter army that attacked Tartarus was to kill Hades That's all, so they put all their energy into the copper palace. For these cannon fodder-like undead creatures on the plain, they didn't waste precious holy water and magic power, but temporarily killed them with silver weapons. After that, about half of the corpses on the battlefield of Tartarus crawled up again.
Moreover, the corpses on the plain outside the Copper Palace are just minor troubles, and the bigger trouble is inside the Copper Palace—there are undead with higher "quality".
Hades' palace of the underworld has a triple city wall. Outside the triple copper city wall is the plain of corpses, and inside the city wall is the real residence of the Lord of the Underworld. This space failed as a product of Olympus "gods" to open up their homes, but it was successful as a "big cemetery" for experimenting with undead spells and collecting soul power. Hades was sent to guard this out-of-control space. In the laboratory, he naturally has his own way of spending time. For thousands of years, he has been studying his forbidden spells day and night in the Copper Palace. The corpses and souls of various creatures are his experimental materials. He has created countless powerful or disgusting undead creatures, and then transformed these monsters As guards, they were placed throughout his palace.
Outside the triple city walls are ordinary undead, but inside the city walls are the "experiments" created by Hades himself.
Even if those experimental subjects were killed by the demon hunter once, their strength is still quite powerful.
But this is still the best way to go to the "God's Domain" of Olympus.
"I can use blood magic to temporarily cover the breath of the living," Heatherana looked at everyone, "so that we can at least hide the common undead on the plain. After entering the Copper Palace, there will not be enough undead on the plain outside." For fear, they dare not enter the Temple of Hades—even if Hades is dead."
"Good idea, but there is still a problem," Hao Ren spread his hands dumbfounded, "You try to put blood magic on me."
Heather Anna didn't know why, but Hao Ren offered her to "biu" and of course she was quite happy, so a non-lethal ball of blood condensed out of her hand and hit Hao Ren's face with a slap: You let me smash... huh?"
The ball of blood dissipated in mid-air without even touching Hao Ren's face.
The little bat spirit was shocked: "Your face is actually enchanted?!"
Hao Ren almost choked blood into his bronchi: "Your face is enchanted! I am only physically immune to magic, at least to Vivian's magic, not to mention your blood magic, even Vivian The big moves I read personally are useless to me - so far the only thing I can't completely resist in her power is the red moon, and all the magic below the red moon are useless."
The little bat spirit was stunned immediately: "I'll go—where did you come up with such a face-like setting?!"
Hao Ren had an innocent look on his face: "Is it my fault for the talent that comes with birth?"
Hesiana struggled: "Then we can only rush through the sea of undead... If the pig advances suddenly, there may be a chance..."
However, after thinking about it, Hao Ren had another plan: "No, I have a better plan."
Immediately, even the little Hessiana, who had been obediently following behind the adults as a good baby, turned her curious gaze over.
"You used shadow magic to sneak into the Copper Palace. I couldn't hide anyway, so I ran directly to the Great Plains to attract hatred and help you distract as many skeletons and zombies as possible—and finally we met at the main entrance of the Copper Palace. "
Heather Anna never expected that Hao Ren would come up with this plan, her eyes widened immediately, she looked at Hao Ren as if she were looking at an alien: "How dare you have such a vigor?"
Hao Ren immediately rolled his eyes at the little bat spirit's beating speech, but Lily had a bit of conscience: "No, landlord, this is too dangerous! You alone are no match for so many undead—they swarmed up You have to kneel too!"
Hao Ren chuckled and waved his hand: "Don't worry, I have my own arrangements."
Seeing that Lily's face was still full of worry, Hao Ren had no choice but to explain with a serious expression: "I do have a way to break through—but I can't do it with you. Let me make it clear. Crossing this plain is like entering the land of no one, but you may not be able to bear my method... "
Seeing the confident expression on Hao Ren's face, Lily and Hasu couldn't help believing it, but Heather Anna curled her lips: "Cut, it sounds like it's real."
Even though he said so, the expression on the little bat spirit's face clearly believed it.
The plan was thus finalized.
Hasselblad, Heatherana and the others quickly made preparations. The four of them gathered together, and then the little bat chanted a spell, and a black and red light curtain suddenly rose out of thin air, covering the four of them, and then gradually disappeared. .
It seemed that there was no change, but in Hao Ren's perception, everyone's heartbeat, body temperature, and breathing disappeared without a trace, and even the inexplicable "life breath" became ethereal.
He shivered. It was okay to stand beside his friends before, but now the four friends have become "fake undead". He closed his eyes and felt as if he was standing in a mortuary...
"How's the effect?" Heatherana glanced at Hao Ren complacently.
Hao Ren nodded, convinced: "Too dead."
Heather Anna: "..."
Under the cover of blood magic, the four of them carefully walked down the high ground, heading towards the plain full of undead.
Under Hao Ren's nervous gaze, the undead actually ignored the few "living people" who walked up to them, and let Hesiana and her party swagger through the territory of skeletons and zombies.
Hao Ren nodded, took a deep breath, turned his head to look in another direction, and at the same time took out two plasma hand cannons from the portable space.
Looking at this dark world full of dead souls and bones, which represented the end of the age of mythology, he sighed deeply:
"Grandchildren!!"
"boom!!"
Hearing the earth-shattering explosion coming from behind, the four people under the cover of the "Blood Sky Curtain" spell couldn't help but stop. Heatherana looked back at the direction she came from, but only saw a small flower A small mushroom cloud is rising into the sky, and the mushroom cloud is mixed with countless rotting limbs and bone fragments blown out.
The sea of undead on the entire plain was startled by this sudden movement. After a while, countless undead groups gathered and began to charge towards the direction of the explosion.
Heather Anna frowned. Although her relationship with Hao Ren was never good, she couldn't help worrying at this time—it was probably because Hao Ren's heroic behavior of "luting the enemy alone" finally made this paranoid little bat spirit After being touched, she said in a word: "Is that guy sure he's okay?"
This time, Lily, who was very worried before, was not worried at all: "It's okay, it's okay, the landlord is amazing."
"Then you were trying to stop him just now?"
"Oh, but if the landlord says it's okay, then it must be okay."
Heather Anna was dumbfounded at the husky elf's simple and straightforward thinking process, and was speechless.
Simple-minded guys are so happy.
Suppressing all the thoughts in her heart, Heatherana once again focused on the matter in front of her. She carefully maintained the effect of the bloody sky, and led the team to the pure copper palace standing on the highest point of Tartarus. .
