The temple was even more dilapidated than when everyone left. Although the previous energy storm did not completely destroy the temple, it obviously still left a lot of damage: a large number of decorative columns broke and collapsed in the vestibule of the temple. Many of the stone roofs above the first promenade have collapsed, cracks are scattered all over the exquisite reliefs on the outer walls of the hall, and some areas that seem to have been impacted by the energy storm can even see melted and solidified glass-like substances.
Heatherana found a big hole in the front of the temple. This was the hole that was opened when the group of people escaped from the temple. This proves that this is indeed the cloud temple that I saw last time, but this time it is not in the sky, but It merged with the mountain range under everyone's feet in a strange state: only the first half of the temple protruded from the mountain, and the second half was completely swallowed up by the rocks. There was no trace of impact or cracking where the two touched, as if It's like growing together naturally.
Hao Ren took the lead and walked in front of the team, looking at the surrounding environment as he walked: "This ruin is really making people more and more confused. The sea of clouds before and the desert now... How did these things appear?"
"Perhaps this is a huge illusion. What we see is a projection made by the illusion," Vivienne said as she walked and released little bats to search for clues in various corners. At the same time, she answered Hao Ren's doubts, " Regardless of the sea of clouds or the desert, the only constant is this temple, and it should be the core of the ruins."
Lily glanced at Nangong Wuyue with concern: "Speaking of which, are you okay?"
Nangong Wuyue was crawling on the ground with a big bump on her head: "...It's okay, it's okay. I'll just treat it later."
If this is the core of the entire relic space, then Besemos should also be hiding in this place, but I don't know if he has learned that someone has broken into this place. Vivienne intuitively judged that Besemos' goal must be the "storage" of the temple, which is the place where everyone searched in the long hall last time but failed to find it. So now everyone is heading in the direction of the long hall, and be careful of the surrounding environment while walking: Shadow Fiend is a cunning race, and they are afraid that Bethemos will set some traps on the only way outside the long hall.
However, Bessemos probably firmly believed that after he destroyed the key, no one would be able to step into this space again. Everyone did not encounter any traps until they saw the entrance of the long hall appear at the end of the corridor.
Hao Ren held up his shield and ran into the long hall first. He found that the place was empty, no different from the last time he left, but soon his sight fell on the end of the long hall: there used to be a mysterious statue of Vivienne, but when the energy storm hit The statue disintegrated, and now there is only a bare base left, and on the circular base, there is a group of light of indeterminate shape twisting and flickering, and there seems to be something in the light.
"That's it!" Hesiana whispered immediately after seeing the light, and ran over first. "This is the entrance!"
"Wait," Vivienne quickly grabbed the reckless girl, she threw a little bat into the light, and then nodded, "Go in."
When everyone stepped into this light, it felt as if they had stepped through a layer of cool water film, and the surrounding environment changed accordingly. An unusually wide and dark space appeared in front of the group of people.
This space seems to be an extremely wide stone room, the surroundings are so dark that the edges cannot be seen clearly, only some stone pillars can be vaguely seen in the distance, and the surrounding air is filled with damp and corrupt atmosphere, I don't know that this place has been sealed how long. And a hundred meters ahead is the only light source here: a three-to-four-meter-high, weird-looking device that seems to be composed of several cylinders and ellipsoids is placed in the center of the space, with a faint light emitting from the whole body, and it is It is this light that keeps this space from being completely dark. As soon as Hao Ren's eyes adjusted to the environment here, he saw a sneaky figure in the dim light around the device: Bethemos!
At the same time, other people also saw that figure, and everyone immediately prepared for battle, and Besemos finally noticed the strange movement behind him, and he turned his head in surprise. After seeing the person coming, he exclaimed: "How did you get in?!"
Hao Ren unexpectedly discovered that Bessemos looked like an ordinary human old man: wearing an ordinary gray cloth robe. With thinning white hair, all around his face, and even a slight hunchback, his human form looks completely harmless. Running to be an extra actor is worth a lunch. This look makes it impossible to imagine that this old guy single-handedly directed the current crisis situation in the shelter. But when Heatherana saw this "human old man", she immediately clenched her weapon: a black and red long whip of unknown material. She sternly asked, "Bethemos! What do you want to do?!"
"Oh, it looks like I've underestimated you guys," Bessemos looked at a group of people staring at him, but he didn't look nervous at all. He just pointed back at the strange device behind him that was emitting light as if talking about the weather, " You may not understand, but I am researching the ultimate knowledge and answers in this world, so can you please be quiet?"
As Besemos's voice fell, there was a gloomy fluctuation from the surrounding darkness, and huge shadow demons emerged from the shadows one by one!
"I didn't run in here alone." Bethemos shrugged.
Heather Anna clenched her long whip, first confirmed the number of enemies, and then looked at Bethemos: "Do you think these scumbags are enough? Do you know that your troops outside have been cleaned up by us? Your The castle, your family, all the forces you have accumulated over the past few thousand years have been wiped out!"
The shadow fiends standing in front of everyone seemed a little shaken when they heard this, but Besemos just looked at the device next to him in ecstasy: "Small problems... are all small problems, compared to what I'm studying It's not worth mentioning... But you probably can't understand this kind of thing, so go to hell."
After Besemos finished speaking, the Shadow Fiends suddenly launched an attack!
"Full firepower!" Hao Ren saw that Besemos was fiddling with the device, and the latter was also emitting more and more intense light. He immediately knew that a quick decision must be made, so he did not care that his right hand had not fully recovered. He took out his own gun, shouted loudly—then kept a safe distance from the enemy and began to shoot coldly.
The scene immediately became a group. The shadow demons they encountered this time were obviously not comparable to the waves of miscellaneous soldiers they encountered before. Those brought in by Bethemos were the elite of the shadow demon family. Feeling the pressure suddenly increase, Bessemos watched with satisfaction that everyone was entangled by his subordinates, muttered something in a low voice, then turned around and continued to play with that strange device.
Y'zaks saw this scene out of the corner of his eye, and this big, gentle man finally couldn't help shouting loudly: "Everyone get out of the way!"
The astonishingly high temperature rose from Yizaks' body with the roar. Needless to say, the others subconsciously backed away under the impact of the high temperature. The grand flames and splashing lava slammed at Yizaks' feet. Then it exploded, and with a heart-piercing roar, the five or six-meter-tall lava demon stood up from the sea of flames!
The Shadow Fiends were dumbfounded when they saw this unimaginable change. Although Yizaks looks like a demon at first glance, there is actually no type of demon that is exactly the same as his image in this world, so these Shadow Fiends followed He suddenly saw a little green man in a space suit firing a laser at him on the street and didn't even react. How could Y'zaks give up such a good opportunity? With a wave of his hand, the lava lake under his feet spread to the surroundings at a frenzied speed, and the few shadow demons closest to him were almost swallowed by the magma.
Only then did the other shadow demons react, and immediately poured all their firepower on Y'zaks. However, after the full combat power, could the demon king be defeated by numbers alone
The battle actually lasted only a few minutes, and the last Shadow Fiend was turned into a high-carbon compound in the hands of Y'zaks.
Bessemos stared dumbfounded at all this, Hao Ren put away his gun and walked in front of him: "So—didn't your mother teach you not to mess with those guys whose style of painting is different from yours?"
Besemos' eyes stayed on Y'zaks for a long time. The powerful power of this weird demon in front of him made his face full of greed, and Y'zaks even felt a wave of pain on his body Layers of goosebumps—if his body structure still has the function of goosebumps.
But just when everyone felt that the farce was about to end, a low beep suddenly came from the device behind Besemos.
A beam of light appeared out of thin air, completely protecting Besemos and the device itself inside!
"Aha! Fate finally favored the old man!" Besemos suddenly burst into a loud laugh, and then he stared at Y'zaks, "It's very interesting, you are all very interesting guys, especially There are also demon powers that have never been seen before... I will come back, and when I find a stronger power in the land of origin, I will come back and dissect these interesting samples of yours... Haha!" (to be continued~^~)
