(It’s Christmas, I wish you all a happy holiday. The weather is cold, so it’s suitable to stay with my girlfriend to keep warm, hehe.)
From the entrance of the cave, a gloomy wind blows out with bone-chilling ice, wrapped in the smell of carrion. Even if you just stand by the entrance of the cave, the smell is already extremely strong. God knows how much carrion it takes to produce such a smell. For some reason, this reminded Zero of thirty missing corpses.
They were standing by the entrance of the cave, and Zero said solemnly: "Ma Pei's ability is not suitable for use in a complex and narrow place like the crypt, so stay outside the cave and be on guard."
Mapei has no objection to this arrangement. His main ability is the transformation of the armored rhinoceros, which is most suitable for charging in open places, but it is not his strong point to fight small-scale positions. Especially considering that there might be a fifth-level fire elemental user hidden in the cave, if Mapei went in rashly, he might end up being roasted into delicious meat. After listening to Zero, he nodded and agreed to the arrangement.
Ling Chaofeng and Su exchanged glances, and the latter understood, so the three of them burrowed into the dark hole. For this mission, because they never considered entering a crypt-like environment, they did not configure relevant equipment. Such as tactical helmets, oxygen cylinders and searchlights. Fortunately, the crypt is different from the underground base, which is dark without a light source, but there are glowing fungi in the crypt. These small things emit a faint light and dot the dark cave.
The cave was narrow at the front and wide at the back. When we first entered, the cave was only wide enough for two people to walk side by side. But the further you go inside, the wider the road, and there are more and more luminous fungi. They grow on mountain walls, next to stalagmites or directly on the ground. If it weren't for the rotten smell in the air, the cave infested by luminous fungi would be like a sea of light.
Zero had to marvel at the wonder of creation. In the crazy evolution of the whole world, this ancient fungus still exists and maintains the original genetic pattern. Just when the three of them were immersed in this strange sea of light, the corpse of a half-bird man suddenly appeared in the eyes of the three of them. The corpse was half lying next to a stalagmite. The skin and flesh of the left half of the corpse had disappeared, revealing bones still stained with broken flesh. Under the corpse, the dark blue blood stained the ground with spots, and there were still intestines and internal organs that were different from humans.
"It's really a picky eater. It's so rude to throw away half of the food." Feng said to himself, and at the same time took out the Tang knife to stir the corpse.
Tang Dao tapped on the corpse's shoulder bones, and with a little external force, the unbalanced corpse immediately fell to the ground, revealing half of its back. The back of the half-bird man was pitch black, and the vertebrae under the skin were charred to varying degrees. Obviously, this Aaron man was invaded by high heat energy from the back, and most of its bones, nerves and organs were directly roasted. Burnt to death.
Just looking at this broken corpse, no matter whether it was a corpse-eating elemental user or a beast with the power to control flames, Zero couldn't find a suitable target. He shook his head and gestured to move on, so the three of them stepped over the corpse and went deeper into the crypt.
Gradually, more and more branches appeared in the crypt, presenting a complex landform. Fortunately, Lingsan was wearing a sonar gun. The sound waves released by this special gun can draw a complex terrain map within a kilometer, which is helpful for identifying the direction of progress in the current environment. However, Zero is based on the bloodstains, pieces of meat and broken corpses left along the way.
The unidentified thing dragged the body of the Aaronian deep into the complex of crypts, as if some wild animal had begun to store food to survive the winter. But on this frozen land to the west, there is no record of mutant beasts controlling fire in Asgard's data. In fact, the habits and abilities of mutant beasts have a lot to do with the environment in which they live.
The permafrost plateau can produce ice and snow demon wolves like Fenli wolves, but it cannot breed exotic beasts like salamanders. In the new era, although many things can no longer be tested with common sense, the most basic rules still exist.
It is not a pleasant thing to travel through the complex and changeable underground, especially the leftovers along the way, and the occasional one or two Aaronian corpses, making this journey not a sightseeing tour of the underground caves at all. On the contrary, the deeper you go, the more you feel like going to hell.
The journey finally came to an end after going deep into the crypt for 3,000 meters. Walking out of the complicated branch roads, what everyone saw was a relatively spacious and flat ground. It’s just that the sense of space here is very narrow. The lichen above the head is less than five meters from the ground, which makes the whole space appear flat. An uncomfortable spatial shape makes Ling few people feel depressed.
What is rare is that there is a ground lake hundreds of meters wide in the middle of the ground. The water in the Earth Lake is in a very pure state, the bottom of the lake is covered with luminescent fungi, and the hazy light penetrates the water from the lake, making the entire Earth Lake sparkle like a bright gem.
Undoubtedly, the scenery of Dihu Lake is beautiful. But the picture on the other side of the lake is far from beautiful, and even disgusting. At least twenty or so corpses were piled up in a pile, forming a not too high corpse mountain. These are the corpses of the Aaronians, and they are now randomly stored beside the ground lake like dried meat, so that they can be eaten at any time.
Near the mountain of corpses, a figure was lying on top of one of the corpses. The maddening sound of chewing kept ringing, amplified several times in the special environment of the crypt, and pierced into Ling San's ears from all directions. What was even more unbelievable was that this figure was wearing a dark red leather robe. From the looks of it, it looked like the murderer who had wiped out the entire Aaronian village.
It's just that a few people didn't expect that this ability user would have the habit of eating corpses. Although it is said that there are many eccentrics among those with abilities, there are probably very few who feed on corpses. And the footsteps of the Zero people obviously alarmed the ability user who was enjoying the corpse meal, he jumped up vigilantly, and quickly turned his body to face the Zero people.
Zero was shocked suddenly, his pupils narrowed slightly, and he called out a person's name: "Sauron?"
That's right! Although this person's face was covered with dark blue blood, although his eyes were completely black, there were circles of red circles all over them. But all of this did not prevent Zero from recognizing him. Sauron, the former heir of the Parklan chaebol, the man who had been entangled with Zero but died under Zero's hands, now appeared on the frozen plateau behind Asgard.
"What's the matter, Zero. This is your friend?" Feng asked in surprise.
Zero shook his head and said, "I don't have friends like ghouls..."
"Stop talking nonsense, you two, he doesn't look very happy!" Su reminded, she clenched the epee with both hands, and put on a posture ready to attack at any time.
On the other side, Su Lun, who was like a ghoul, roared. He let out a strange roar like a wild beast, his mouth was opened to the limit, and the teeth that had become sharp were exposed from his lips.
Sauron, who has been transformed into a disorderly one, was once very close to zero under the drive of instinct. But at that time, the aura of Valkyrie fighting with the other two ability users frightened Sauron back. After that, the huge aura produced by the Dawn Shield and the large number of alien creatures that escaped from the Cossacks base made Sauron even more Len runs away.
Since then, Sauron has been wandering in the wilderness. Driven by instinct, he came to the dense frosty forest full of life, and found the Aaron family. At the beginning, Sauron only hunted and killed the Aaron tribe for food. But after eating the flesh and blood of the Aaronians, Sauron fell in love with this food. It's just that Sauron didn't know that the Aaron's heart and brain greatly increased his upper limit of ability, allowing him to gradually climb from the fourth level to the fifth level.
After that, what happened was naturally the massacre of the village. The Aaron clan was killed by Sauron with his own power, and Sauron even selected the corpse of the most powerful member of the clan with a beast-like intuition, and dragged it to this naturally formed crypt to store food . It's just that even Sauron didn't expect that his deeds would attract Zero.
The moment he saw Zero, Sauron's instinct to kill Zero was activated. Immediately, the red light wheels in his eyes kept changing, so the air in the crypt kept rising, which was because the fire element in the space became active.
It took only two seconds for the ground lake to glow with red light until the entire lake surface boiled. The next moment, the Earth Lake erupted, spraying a tall water curtain, and at the same time, the water mist formed by the high temperature evaporation of the Earth Water rolled out, making the entire crypt hot and humid, and at the same time reducing the visibility of everyone.
In this piece of water mist, an invisible wave suddenly swept out.
Zero's whole body tightened, feeling an extremely strong sense of crisis.
"spread!"
He yelled and rolled forward suddenly. And Su and Feng also moved left and right at the same time, just in front of the three of them, there was a red light flashing under the ground where they were before, followed by a three-meter-wide pillar of fire spewing out. If the three of them hadn't flashed so fast, they would probably be burned into roast pigs now.
Feng snorted coldly, leaned forward, exerted force on his toes, and immediately pulled out a black line into the water mist. Seeing him attacking, he was afraid that he might make a mistake, so he rushed straight to where Sauron was just now in the mist. She deliberately released her breath to attract Sauron's attention.
Zero also took down the intruder who was fixed under the carrying tool with a pendant at the same time, and Sauron's strength had advanced to the fifth level, which surprised him. And he didn't understand why Sauron, who was killed by himself, came back to life. What made Ling even more disturbed was that Sauron's special eyes reminded him of Hans!
After the invader is taken down by Zero, it immediately enters the charging mode. Before reaching the launch equivalent, Zero suddenly saw a red light flash deep in the water mist, followed by a column of flowing flames, piercing out of the water mist, and blasting towards Su!
Su's heavy sword was raised flat, barely resisting the Yan Zhu. Immediately, the violent impact knocked her into the air. And Su's alloy epee turned red in an instant.
Landing, rolling, and when Su bounced up again, the temperature of the epee dropped slightly.
And the pillar of flame that hit her didn't disappear, instead it was flattened and swept towards the left of the cave like a raging flame. The mist was immediately dispersed by the pillar of flames, and in the light of the fire, Feng's figure leaning forward was reflected.
Yanzhu chased after Feng's back, but he didn't seem to notice it. Just as Su was about to call out the police, she saw Feng suddenly flipped forward, causing Yanzhu to swipe across his back. Feng bounced again, and the speed increased again, and he had come to Sauron in an instant.
Tang Dao disappeared in Feng's hand, and in an instant, three sword lights fell towards Sauron like hooks and claws.
Talon!
Sauron smiled instead of being startled, and suddenly a red spot flashed from under his feet, followed by another pillar of fire shooting into the sky. In the firelight, Feng Mo's expression changed. Tang Dao withdrew his shield in front of him, and was knocked flying by the impact of the sudden burst of fire.
This pillar of fire had a high temperature of 500 degrees, Feng didn't expect that Sauron would put it under his feet. However, in the flames, Sauron didn't even burn a hair. Instead, the flames burned away some stains on his body, making him look much cleaner.
Sauron closed his smile again, followed by a violent shout, and opened his hands, about to fall in the direction of Feng to add another blow of flames. Suddenly, a dark green light appeared in the corner of his eyes.
He immediately looked in the direction of the light, and saw a mass of emerald green energy bombs skimming across the lake, setting off a pool of lake water behind him, and blasting towards him with an even momentum.
The flame impact changed its target and landed on the energy bomb. Flame ripples visible to the naked eye appeared from the void, and then wrapped around the energy bomb's body layer by layer. The speed of the energy bomb immediately decreased greatly, and when it was about ten meters away from Sauron, a flash of flame quietly appeared near the acid energy bomb fired by the invader.
As soon as the flames appeared, the explosion happened immediately. The energy hedging in the local space of the fire element formed a violent explosion, which successfully detonated the acid energy bomb. Two kinds of energies with different attributes bloomed with red and white blazing rays of light. The rays of light expanded and contracted, and then formed a huge fireball that appeared above the earth lake! The shock wave of the explosion swept away in circles, Sauron who was closest to the explosion point was immediately knocked into the air, and Zero, who was farthest away, was also suffocated by the strong wind carried by the shock wave.
The violent impact of the two energies also caused thrilling cracks to appear on the rock wall above the crypt, and countless silts were continuously sprinkled down, like a shower of sand.
Feng shouted with an ugly face: "Zero, don't use that girl's weapon, unless you want to bury us all alive here!"
Zero put away the attacker without a word, and took down the Spear II sniper rifle instead. The magazine is already full of sniper bullets, ready for Zero to shoot at any time. On the other side, Feng had already rushed towards Sauron, yelling "In the end, I still have to rely on my own words", Feng launched a storm combo towards Sauron. This is a unique skill of a fencer. When the ability is activated, Feng is as fast as a gust of wind. He circles Sauron, and the sword in his hand keeps attacking from various tricky angles. At the same time, there is a layer of strange force field attached to the Tang knife, which also belongs to the fencer's ability "defense disintegration", which can reduce the opponent's various defenses to a certain extent.
Sauron had already consciously spread a layer of elemental force field on himself when Feng rushed close. This is almost a panacea skill for dealing with long-distance and melee combat, providing a certain amount of defensive shock absorption. But this layer of defensive power was gradually reduced under Feng's targeted abilities, but Sauron added skills from time to time, but he always maintained his elemental position so as not to collapse.
As for Feng's storm combo, Sauron didn't seem to take it seriously. He no longer belongs to the category of ordinary humans. Strictly speaking, the current Sauron is closer to a living corpse. Therefore, he had no defense at all against most of Feng's attacks, and let the Tang knife with energy greet him. Except for the more important parts such as the head and chest, Sauron almost let Feng beat him violently.
However, his counterattack often made Feng complain endlessly. For Sauron, the first-order fireball is almost a whim. Moreover, the power of the fireball exploding at close range was enough to push Feng away. So from time to time, under the attack of a fireball, and occasionally a pillar of fire, Feng repeated the action of being pushed away, and then jumped into the fight.
"Step aside!"
While Feng was entangled with Sauron, Su had already bypassed the lake and approached. Her speed is not high, but she is powerful while running. The energy ripples of the naked eye scattered from Su's body to the space. It seems that since the Cossacks and his party, Su's strength has also improved. At least, before that, she couldn't reach the point of overflowing energy.
Now, Su's alloy epee was wrapped in layers of surging energy ripples. When approaching Sauron, Su stomped on the ground with both feet.
The ground immediately cracked, causing Su to jump high. Raising the epee high above his head, Su let out a loud shout, and the epee wrapped in energy ripples set off a violent howl and slashed towards Sauron head-on.
Crazy Crazy! The usual skills of the Berserkers reappeared, just one sword, but it made people feel like a mountain is falling.
Under the violent wind pressure, Feng's face changed slightly, and he withdrew back, he didn't want to be affected by the power of this cut.
As Sauron, who was always regarded as the target, the pressure from the energy ripples fell heavily on him, making it difficult for him to escape like Feng. Seeing that he couldn't dodge, Sauron shouted loudly and pushed his hands forward violently, but countless red lights whizzed and converged, instantly forming a red light shield between the two. In the middle of the light shield, there is a pattern of flames, which is the symbol of the flame shield.
Elemental force fields and elemental shields are common skills for those with abilities in the elemental domain. And according to the different elements that the ability user is good at, the power and effect of these two skills are also different. Like the Indians who faced Valkyrie before, the dark shield used has the effect of absorbing energy. However, Su Lun's flaming shield displayed the full characteristics of the fire element, purely attacking against attack.
Su's epee slashed fiercely on the elemental shield, and the shield instantly shattered. But when the shield disintegrated, the fire element in it released terrifying energy. Sensing the change, Su only had time to put the epee upright in front of him in a defensive posture, and the explosion followed.
With a bang, the high heat generated by the energy explosion rubbed against the air, creating a ball of fire. The shock wave from the explosion of the fireball caused Su to fly upside down. When Su landed, he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood, obviously injured.
The flames spread on Sauron's head, he let out a triumphant roar, and wanted to pounce on Su. But he moved quickly, but stopped instantly, and then turned his head violently in the direction of Zero. In that direction, Sauron first saw Zero's face, and then it was blocked by the flames!
