Chapter 583: The Dragon Palace Monsters’ Top Priority
On top of the left peak, the battle was intense.
A group of black-clad guards dispersed the scattered cultivators and killed them mercilessly, making this quiet ruins look like a bloody hell or an Asura battlefield.
Except for the exaggerated and domineering mountain guardian beast Ming Snake puppet, and the rare elite five elements puppets, most of the Mohist guard puppets are made very "standardized".
Just the normal body shape.
But each of them was flexible, and the gem-encrusted eyes on their faces showed that they were not living creatures, and were very different from the commonly seen spirit wood puppets.
Each of them was dressed in the same dark black robe, covered with leather armor, and wore a war crown on their head. They were both men and women, holding swords and spears, and moving in an orderly manner, like an earthly army, majestic and awe-inspiring.
There is also spiritual energy intertwined around their bodies, allowing them to move swiftly, and each move can bring about a spiritual killing move. The only flaw is that there is no Mo warrior to control them.
It was just basic slashing back and forth, no need for any agile fighting skills.
But even so, these orthodox military guards are powerful enough.
Not only because they are made of the essence of Mo Wu and are nearly invulnerable to swords and spears, but also because the Mohist sect is almost extravagant, these martial guards are equipped with magical weapons.
He wears leather armor and holds a sharp blade in his hand, both of which are good things full of spiritual light. They can resist the bombardment of spells and form a battle formation to relieve the manic force.
Could it be that Shi Liu was complaining that the cost of the Mohist Immortal Sect to build so many puppet guards on this Zuo Peak alone would be far greater than the value of the local treasures.
This is exactly the real-life version of the joke about using a six-digit password to protect a three-digit deposit.
However, the situation at Zuo Feng is indeed chaotic.
But it is not really that dangerous. Although the guards are strong, they have no Mo warriors to lead them. They can only seek out the nearest monks and attack fiercely when fighting.
The action mode is very rigid.
As long as you don't confront them head-on, use some confusing illusions, teleportation spells, etc., and evacuate with the goodies you have obtained during the chaos. This is not difficult for most casual cultivators.
By now, more than a hundred independent cultivators have left the ruins seeing the bad situation. Those who remain here are all greedy guys who are still thinking about taking more and finding more goodies.
After all, magic weapons and the like are in the surrounding buildings, and as long as you can rush in, you can take them.
This temptation is really too exciting.
As a result, many cultivators failed to control their greed, and as a result, they missed the best opportunity to evacuate during the looting, and were blocked by the guards in the left peak.
When the Ming Snake guardian beast appeared, it suppressed the ground veins of the left peak again. Except for natural spirits like Pomegranate who could still move freely, the magic weapons in the hands of other cultivators, such as the Earth-walking Disk, could no longer be used, which meant they were trapped here to death.
Crying to heaven and earth will get no response.
Although he was carrying all kinds of precious treasures and was about to reach the peak of his life, he could only die tragically under the silent and resolute siege of the Wuwei.
But in addition to this tragedy, the monsters in the Dragon Palace were taking advantage of the chaos.
After rushing into the ruins, these cunning guys did not come to the left peak at all, but hid aside. They waited until the guards were awakened and chaos arose before they started to act.
It was obvious that he had rich experience in exploring Mohist ruins and knew that these treasures were very valuable, so he did not search for them at all, but climbed all the way to the top of the mountain along the remote part of the left peak.
There are not many monsters from the Dragon Palace, less than fifty people, but each of them is elite and a group of monster generals. If these monsters unite, it will not be a problem for them to run rampant in the West Sea.
Led by a giant crab-like General Crab, they quickly rushed to the top of Zuo Peak, but did not go to the shrine where the treasures were hidden. Instead, they followed a secret passage on the top of the mountain and moved into the mountain.
These guys are familiar with this place.
It was like holding a map in hand, looking for the secret door and breaking into the mountain. The whole process was done in one go, and it was obvious that he was well prepared.
However, they did not realize that in the blocked earth veins behind them, there was a little mountain monster peeking out and secretly following them.
The pomegranate monster's cultivation progress is very slow, but because of the magical canonization, it is constantly fed back by Old Jiang, whose strength is rising rapidly, and now it has reached the realm of truth.
Moreover, the monsters are born and raised by nature and are not subject to disasters. They can break through when they reach a certain level of strength and do not need to go through the stage of heavenly tribulation. Their growth curve is very stable.
In addition, Pomegranate also has the Ashes precious medicine from the Red Moon Realm, which gives him a lot of strange magical powers. It doesn't improve the little guy's combat power much, but it is quite helpful when he is hiding and stealing.
"What are these monsters looking for?"
Pomegranate hid in the earth veins and followed the silent demon generals towards the interior of Zuofeng Mountain. His heart was like a cat scratching, and he was eager to know the purpose of the monsters from Dragon Palace coming here.
"How come they are so familiar with this place? Could it be that their ancestors came here five hundred years ago, before the Mohist sect was defeated? It seems possible.
I heard from my mother-in-law before that there were many sects in the Western Land before it sank. The Mohist Sect was only the most powerful one, but not the only one.
At that time, Dragon Palace had already taken root in the West Sea, so it was normal for the two sides to have exchanges.
However, Jiang Xia and Shi Yan, the orthodox descendants of the Mohist school, did not know that there was a secret passage in the left peak of the ruins. The leader Mo Jun did not remind them, and perhaps the leader did not know either.
But how did these Dragon Palace monsters know this?"
The more Pomegranate thought about it, the more strange the situation seemed to him. Although there were more than a hundred Eden people lying in ambush on the top of the mountain, their fighting power was too poor.
If a fight really breaks out, I'm afraid we won't be able to stop this group of Dragon Palace demon generals.
The fact that these monsters dare to come here means that they have support outside the ruins and they are sure that they can find something and take it away.
no!
You have to prepare in advance.
Thinking of this, Shi Liu took out a sophisticated watch-like instrument from the ring and wrapped it around his wrist. He then took out a pair of frameless goggles and put them on his head.
He clumsily clicked on the two high-tech items.
The next moment, the scene it saw was completely transmitted to Lao Jiang. After a few breaths, Lao Jiang sent a response:
"Keep following . Don't be afraid. I'll be there to support you as soon as I'm done here. Let those Eden people hold on first. Don't be afraid of casualties. There will be a huge reward!"
After hearing Lao Jiang's response, Shi Liu's courage suddenly grew. He smiled and followed the group of monsters, continuing to move forward in the darkness.
This secret passage in the mountain was obviously dug out with a planned plan.
Although it was dim, the stone walls around it were neatly built in squares, and it was obvious that they were built by the Mo family. Those guys generally had obsessive-compulsive disorder, so even if they were building a toilet, they would build it in accordance with etiquette.
The secret passage went down all the way to the center of the mountain. There were no guard puppets or traps or magic arrays set up around it, and the monsters were also very bold.
They moved very quickly and it took them less than half an incense stick to reach the bottom of the secret passage.
This seems to be a natural cave, which was turned into a huge tool-making workshop by the Mohist monks five hundred years ago. However, they did not build it outside, but had to build it in this secret place, which shows that the things here cannot be seen by the light.
The monsters jumped in one by one and patrolled the surroundings. They did not waste time on the half-made magic weapon embryos, but instead took out magic weapons that looked like crystal pickaxes.
Under the command of the sturdy Crab General with a big shell on his back, they struck at the magic circle in the center of the workshop.
They seemed to have come here just for this magic circle.
Pomegranate poked its head out from the top of the cave, hanging there upside down like a bat, looking down carefully at the strange magic circle that was being dismantled by the monsters.
It is obvious at first glance that this magic array is definitely related to the star array.
It was like a star array disk magnified twenty times, with intricate and complicated ink symbols engraved on it. From the outside to the inside, there were seven nested stone rings.
There are fine scales on it, corresponding to a dazzling star map.
Pomegranate is an unlearned monster.
It can be said that it has some astronomy skills, but it is only at a very low level and can only recognize the Big Dipper. Seeing the star map in front of it, which is so complex that it almost includes the entire starry sky, the little mountain monster is completely bored.
But the goggles on its eyes transmitted the entire picture to Lao Jiang. After a few breaths, Jiang Xia's voice rang in Shi Liu's ears.
"I don't know what this thing is, but it looks like the culmination of all the star array disks. It must be very important!"
"Let the Eden people prepare for annihilation. We must stop these monsters! I will report this to the headmaster. Pomegranate, you must leave the ruins immediately and go outside to tell my master and senior sister.
This thing cannot be taken away by the Dragon Palace!"
"Then come here quickly."
Pomegranate whispered:
"Don't you have the Xuantian Sword in your hand? Use that magic weapon to suppress it . These monsters will definitely not be able to take it away."
"I want to go there too, but I've also discovered something incredible here."
Lao Jiang said helplessly:
"It's more important than what you have. The master left something in the weapon storage pavilion. I'm trying to crack it now and can't spare the time. I'll ask the people around me to go and provide support.
This magic circle is too large, and the monsters can't take it away intact.
Go tell my master that the monster must have support outside, and maybe the three dragon kings will show up. If you can't stop them, try your best to grab one or two pieces."
"receive!"
Pomegranate responded and disappeared into the rock cave. When it reappeared, it had arrived in front of the Eden people who were blocking the secret passage.
It flicked its tail, flapped its wings, and called out to the Edain:
"The situation has changed! The boss has ordered that even if we have to fight to the last man, we must stop the monsters from the Dragon Palace and take away the Mo family's secret treasure! Soon there will be monks coming to help, you must hold on!"
Following Shi Liu's call, a task prompt popped up in the game system of all Eden players:
"Players, please note that the main mission of the DLC Exploration Operation has entered the final stage. Once the mission is completed, the Disaster Node: World of Nations area will be fully unlocked.
Mission objective: Delay the actions of the monsters from the West Sea Dragon Palace to take away the Mo family's secret treasure, fight together with the Mo family disciples, and hold on until Mo Jun comes to help.
Task Tips:
This mission is extremely difficult, so players should be prepared for total defeat.
The storage permission has been enabled. Players are requested to hand over important items to Mohist disciples for safekeeping.
The personal life support module has been granted permission. If you enter a near-death state, please temporarily evacuate the battlefield, find shelter and wait for treatment.
For the glory of the Edenites, sirs, fight!"
The mission reminder sounded, and the Eden people looked at each other in bewilderment.
But soon, they were ready to try, showing no fear at all, and no one ran away. Instead, under the command of their respective team leaders, they quickly began to set up blocking positions.
"Shit! This is going to be a big deal."
The high-level player Mao Maotou waved his spiritual sword and said to Lao Qu who was sharpening his spear beside him:
"This is much more exciting than the Red Moon Battlefield. Anything here can easily crush us to death..."
"Isn't that better?"
Lao Qu took out the note that the regiment commander had left for him from his bosom, opened it and read it. He snorted and said:
"Only in such a world can I become strong."
"Hey, you're getting too into the role."
Cathead grinned and patted Lao Qu on the shoulder, saying:
"It's just a game..."
"Do you really think so?"
Lao Qu glanced at the cat's head and said:
"Let me ask you, how long has it been since you quit the game and went back to reality to have a good sleep? Admit it, compared to this place, our beautiful reality is not attractive at all.
To be honest, I've begun to confuse the difference between reality and games. When I fight here, I feel like I'm fighting in the real world. It's more real than reality.
You slut, I know you like it too, you just don't want to admit it.
You guys in the Heroic Spirit Group are all a bunch of sluts.
Your leader A-Zu is the most coquettish..."
"You keep cursing? Believe it or not, I'll get someone to beat you up! Let me tell you, our leader just broke through to the middle stage of Qi training yesterday, he's very powerful!"
"Tsk, let Ah Zhu come! A weak spellcaster wants to fight against a great body cultivator like me? I'll punch his brains out. Hey, the monsters are coming out!
Get your weapons ready, guys! Fuck him!
