The Record of Unusual Creatures

Chapter 59: Not doing enough

Views:

On the high stone ceiling of the hall, there are four thick black iron chains hanging. These four iron chains extend from the four corners and are cast together in the center of the ceiling. Some kind of metal structure like ghost claws. These claw-like twisted metals formed a cage, firmly holding a black crystal that seemed to be more than one meter long. Just as Vivienne described: half a meter to one meter in length, slender and irregular in shape, with a black texture like smoked glass, and a faint red light can be seen at the end of the crystal.

When the three rushed in before, they didn't have time to care about what was hanging on the roof of the hall. Lily looked up, but the werewolf girl didn't know this thing, and thought it was just an ordinary decoration, but now she and Hao Everyone knows what it is: the Demon Stone.

Hao Ren felt his data terminal vibrate, and then a flat and emotionless voice sounded in his head: "This machine is really sad..." "Hehe, shut up."

"It can't be so unlucky..." Lily sat down on the ground immediately, and after thinking for a while, she said the same thing, "I'm just a little wolf cub, I haven't even talked to someone yet..." "Don't make trouble," Hao said. Ren stretched out his hand and knocked on Lily's head, "It's just a rock right now! It won't necessarily turn the devil..."

Vivian's neutral voice came from the side: "Why do you think the defenses in the underground palace suddenly activated? Why did those armors wake up?"

Hao Ren's forehead was sweating immediately: Need I say that? Obviously, there is movement in the Devil's Stone!

"Tell me, does this count as a huge crisis beyond human capabilities?" Hao Ren finally remembered that he still had a backstage, and called his own data terminal in his mind, "I'm asking for support at this time. is that OK?"

"It's not the time yet, and you asked for reinforcements without even seeing the real enemy? You don't feel ashamed."

Hao Ren jumped to his feet and scolded the street: "Then the fuck is it true that I can only ask for help when I am about to be beaten to death?!"

"My employees of the Great Time and Space Administration basically only ask for support when they are about to be killed."

Hao Ren almost passed out after his breath got stuck in his bronchus, but what happened next made him know that he must not faint, because something more exciting had just begun: a deep rumbling sound came faintly from directly above Come, and then he felt that the entire underground hall began to vibrate! Countless dust and gravel fell from the rocky roof that had been in disrepair for a long time as if it was raining. It started to shake, and the four huge iron chains on the top of the head also "squeaked" and shook randomly, and the black iron claws that fixed the devil's stone, which should look very strong, were dragged by the four heavy chains... Can you believe that they loosened one by one? !

When the underground hall started to shake, Hao Ren had the urge to run out, at least find a corner to stay and maybe survive, but when he saw the movement of the pile of iron chains on the roof, he ran They all forgot to run away. Including Vivian and Lily, the eyes of the three people were all firmly fixed by the demon stone hanging above their heads at that moment. The small stone seemed to be tied directly to everyone's heart. Every time it shakes, people's heart twitches, but even Vivienne didn't dare to fly over to catch it, they could only watch the black iron claws that fixed the Demon Stone move at a speed visible to the naked eye. It was slowly loosened, and then the first iron chain finally couldn't support the accumulated ailments accumulated by hundreds of years of weathering, and broke away from the intersection of the four iron chains with a "crash"...

The heavy iron chain slid soundlessly through an arc in the air, and in the eyes of the three of them, it slammed into the stone wall in the corner of the hall as if in slow motion, and finally made a deafening bang: bang—

The black iron claws that fixed the Devil's Stone also fell apart under the action of the last straw. With the collapse of all the chains, the one-meter-long black crystal finally fell down and glowed a dazzling red light the moment it touched the ground. Light.

Hao Ren had a thousand words in his heart that he could say in one sentence: So when making such an important thing, he still pays attention to the gothic aesthetics of woolen wool! It's all fucking used to fix the devil's stone. Honestly, if you build a stupid and thick iron cage, will you die? ! Which bastard designer made that bunch of black claws that look dangling!

"Run!" The fluff on Lily's ears and tail blew up the moment the Devil's Stone hit the ground, and then she screamed and rushed to the nearest passage. The stone spread out in all directions, sweeping the entire hall in the blink of an eye. Hao Ren saw countless Leta runes suddenly appear on the walls of the hall, but within a short while, these ancient runes faded one by one. , There were bursts of cracking sounds like shattering glass from all directions.

The seal of the devil's secret room itself lasted only a few seconds before it was completely finished!

And when these Leta runes shattered and dissipated one by one, Hao Ren heard the familiar voice again: Wow, wow...

Except for the passage that had been completely collapsed and blocked, there were still three exits in the hall, and now the sound of armor rubbing and colliding was coming from those exits. Lily only had time to run a few meters before she stopped abruptly: Countless pairs of blood-red red lights emerged from the darkness, and more terrifying armored undead than before were pouring into the hall from three directions staggeringly!

When the rune of the Devil's Chamber expires, these Necromancers can also enter the Chamber.

Moreover, the undead armor that appeared this time is obviously different from the previous ones: they are wrapped with layers of gray mist, and the red light behind the helmet visor as eyes is brighter. Obviously, the power of the devil stone has affected The guards in this underground palace - as Vivienne said, these armored heroic souls claim to be holy guardians, but they are still obsessive-driven resentful spirits in essence, and the techniques used to cast them are inextricably linked with demons. Contact, originally there would be no problems when the seal of the underground palace was intact, but now that the Devil's Stone is completely out of control, these guards have turned into another disaster in the blink of an eye.

"Those demon hunters who want to die." Vivienne cursed angrily, but before she could take any action, there was another louder rumble than before from above the hall!

More earth, stone and gravel fell from the four corners of the hall, and even a huge stone slab broke away from the ceiling and hit Lily impartially. The werewolf girl didn't even have time to look up when she heard the wind, and a vicious dog pounced on her. It was only by throwing to the side that she narrowly escaped the fatal blow - but the slab was still slightly caught by her tail, and Hao Ren only heard the scream of a dog being stepped on its tail resounding all around.

"What's going on up here?" Hao Ren felt that the continuous rumbling sound didn't sound like a normal collapse of the underground palace at all, but a bit like an explosion. "Why do I sound like a bomb?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a cracking sound of Kerala from the roof in the center of the hall, followed by a large pile of slate soil crashing down, and after a cloud of dust flew up, a clear and bright moonlight appeared in front of the three of them: A big hole was opened in the center of the hall.

This earth-shattering movement seemed to frighten the surrounding tin cans. It might also be the sudden moonlight that threw these guards into chaos. In short, all the hollow armors stopped moving in a short time, and Hao Ren and the three of them took advantage of this gap to cast their gazes at the big hole in the center of the hall at the same time: What's the matter with this suddenly appeared hole? And it leads directly to the ground

"Will we be able to go up this time?" Lily grinned and jumped to the side of Hao Ren, her tail twitching and trembling. She looked at the hole above the hall, her golden eyes were full of curiosity.

"Wait a minute, the situation is weird." Vivienne used the strong wind to blow away the dust in front of her eyes, and waved her hand to signal Lily not to act rashly. At the same time, Hao Ren saw a rope suddenly hanging down from the big hole.

What happened next made him especially want to scold the street.

That "demon hunter" Nangong slid down the rope...
