The Hidden Knight of Mystra Chapter 271: Ancient Temple
On the mountain road at night.
Roger took the lead and soared straight up.
After killing the man-eating deer.
He increased the intensity of the destruction.
It only took 10 minutes to push from the bottom of the mountain to near the top!
During this period.
A large amount of rolling wood and rubble was ruthlessly destroyed by him, and the broken stones and logs rolled down the mountain like projectiles in war.
The seven-member team in the back seat of the Will-O-W-O can only rely on the special terrain to avoid falling objects.
in this case.
The distance between them and Roger naturally became farther and farther.
But they saw Roger's bravery.
In the process of destroying the roadblocks.
Roger encountered four or five man-eating deer one after another - this kind of monster has the ability to teleport and freeze, making it difficult for ordinary people to deal with it.
But in front of Roger's Taiyi Lihuo Sword.
The weakness of the "man-eating deer" with a long neck was infinitely magnified.
Even if they can avoid damage by teleporting.
But the Wind God Kick that Roger used to remove roadblocks is itself an extremely powerful martial art!
Anyone who can dodge Taiyi Lihuo Knife will most likely not be able to dodge Roger’s sharp kick!
After being kicked in the front by the Wind God's leg.
The man-eating deer showed effects of "disability" and "penetration".
After these monsters struggled for a while.
In the end, he died.
And from beginning to end.
Roger barely even looked at them.
He was concentrating on removing the roadblocks.
Because he was surprised to find that destroying roadblocks gave more XP than destroying man-eating deer!
on the data bar.
…
"You destroyed a set of high-level roadblocks, and you received 200 XP."
…
"Your blessing 'Lord of Destruction' has been extended by 1 hour."
…
Attracted by unexpected rewards.
Roger dismantled the boxes more diligently.
So.
The nature of the battle has subtly changed.
In the opinion of the seven.
Roger was totally focused on troubleshooting when he killed those man-eating deer!
This kind of strength...
The seven people looked at each other, and the remaining hesitation in their hearts had long disappeared.
Now they struggled to keep up.
After a short rest.
Accompanied by a loud bang.
A huge rock was kicked off the cliff by Roger, and the rest of the rocks shattered!
This is a narrow path leading to the top of the mountain.
Finally it's unobstructed!
…
Located near the top of the mountain.
Roger stood on a piece of rubble and looked around.
This mountain is actually not very steep.
But because of the people in Tongma Town, this place was named "New Yuntai Mountain" - this name made him feel quite touched.
It’s a pity that this Yuntai is not that Yuntai.
Otherwise he would have to take some time to check out the frogs in the cave.
At this moment, there is a thin mist on the top of the mountain.
But under the influence of absolute insight and true vision.
Roger had a panoramic view of the new Yuntai Mountain.
This mountainous area is mainly steep at the foothills.
It becomes flatter near the top of the mountain.
Roger noticed.
There are many high mountains nearby. When they reach a certain height, they seem to arch towards the center under the influence of some divine power, forming a protruding platform.
Look at it from this angle.
Rather than calling it the "New Yuntai Mountain", it would be better to call it the "Yuntai Plateau".
There was darkness deep in the highlands.
There are evil forces blocking Roger's vision.
Not far away.
The simple temple of the "Sika Deer God" is already clearly visible.
Roger discovered a large number of man-eating deer near the temple!
That’s not all.
There is actually a "Blood Crow Cave" at the foot of the southern hillside not far from the temple!
The art of looking at qi shows.
This Blood Crow Cave should have been recently formed.
There are many clamoring blood crows active inside.
See here.
A slight smile appeared on Roger's lips.
He waited there for a while.
The group of seven quickly followed.
Roger pointed to a ruin located northwest of the Sika Deer Temple and asked:
"What's that?"
The ruins were very unique, and the remaining landscape was neither the style of Tongma Town, nor the style of Purgatory or the wilderness.
In Roger's perception.
There was a vaguely familiar smell in that place.
It was a pity that the ruins were so dilapidated that weeds and trees grew inside, and Roger couldn't recognize anything for a while.
"That pile of rocks?"
Quick took a look and quickly replied:
"Captain Dorothy asked this question before. Rose, the chief priest of the temple, told us that it was a relic of ancient people..."
"Ancient people?"
Roger was slightly stunned.
Did ancient people also talk about "Purgatory"?
At this moment.
on the data bar.
…
"Hint: You have obtained the clue of the ancient ruins 'Zen Gate'"
…
"Zen Yi Men? Is this the source of the Golden Bell Fall that the tomb owner gave me?"
Roger looked at the ruins with interest.
He kind of wanted to stop by and take a look.
However at this time.
He suddenly noticed a man staggering out of the Blood Crow Cave!
That man was wearing the uniform of the expeditionary force!
Roger used the Wind God Kick without saying a word.
The whole person rushed forward like lightning!
There aren't many monsters in the Blood Crow Cave.
Roger rushed forward very quickly, and when he got close, he flashed away twice in succession, then hugged the man's waist and rescued him from the group of blood crows with another flash!
The Blood Crow nearby was furious.
They rushed over shouting.
Roger took a half step back, thought for half a second, and then his chest swelled violently, and then he opened his mouth and sprayed out!
…
"Reminder: Your specialty 'Breath Weapon' is in effect..."
…
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
A cone-shaped breath was ejected, and the group of blood crows just walked into the trap and entered the attack range of the breath weapon!
At that time.
The blood crows began to show signs of severe peeling and decay.
The venom from the two-headed dragon was unusual in itself.
After a while.
Most of this group of blood crows were wiped out.
The rest barely managed to fly out of the range of the breath weapon.
But under the fierce attack of the "Emerald Trade Wind".
In the end, it can only become the material to add bricks and tiles to Roger's brilliant cause.
…
“You… who are you?”
The person who was rescued was a young man. His face was covered in blood and he looked in very bad condition.
Roger forced several bottles of potion into his mouth.
The young man's complexion improved immediately.
But he still looked at Roger with some hesitation.
Fortunately, the group of seven caught up quickly.
"Kleva, it's us!"
"He is Mr. Roger, the advisor of the expedition team!"
"He was the one who killed the corpse demon. Have you forgotten? Mr. Roger is very powerful. He is here to save people!"
Quick and others spoke at once.
It's messy though.
But I still made it clear.
…
"I see."
"Thank you very much. If you had come a little later, I might have died at the hands of those blood crows."
Kleva breathed a sigh of relief, and then he looked at everyone with some confusion :
"How did you get up here?"
"Many monsters appeared in the temple before. The captain was afraid that these monsters would sneak down the mountain, so he asked us to open the roadblocks that we had secretly prepared before..."
"I went down to check, and the road down the mountain should have been blocked!"
As soon as these words came out.
Everyone was silent.
"The roadblock...was it Captain Dorothy who ordered its release?"
Quick asked with difficulty.
“Yes, yes…”
Clerval nodded unconsciously.
Quick was about to tell him that the roadblocks had been removed.
But Roger said first:
“What’s going on here?”
"Why are you here? Where are the others?"
Cleves hastened to explain:
"The God of Sika Deer betrayed the camp of the God of Wilderness!"
"She turned Priest Rose into a monster. That monster summoned more monsters. Anyway, Yuntai Mountain is now full of terrible monsters!"
"The captain led his men to pursue Priest Rose. They were heading towards the 'Ancestors' Temple'. As for me, my companions and I were responsible for covering our retreat and setting up roadblocks, but we were attacked by a sudden man-eating deer and had no choice but to flee to the Blood Crow Cave for refuge... My companions... are all dead..."
Speaking of this.
His expression was somewhat gloomy.
Roger patted him on the shoulder gently:
"Then live well with their share, try to kill more monsters, and avenge them."
Clevar nodded reluctantly.
Quick looked at Roger:
"So what should we do next?"
"From here to the Ancient Temple, we should encounter a large herd of man-eating deer. I noticed before that there are no more deer in the Sika Deer Wilderness. They should have been summoned here by the Sika Deer God and turned into monsters!"
Roger nodded.
This guy has no problem with observation and analytical skills.
It's just that his strength is a little weak - although he is at level 55, he may not be a match for a man-eating deer if he fights alone!
This is the hidden danger of accepting "divine power infusion".
The level is seriously inflated.
“More than just man-eating deer!”
Cleves hastened to say:
"I found traces of the "Purgatory Gray Dwarves" in the Blood Crow Cave."
"The Purgatory Party has bewitched the Sika Deer God, and they must want to turn the New Yuntai Mountain area into their base."
"The captain told me that after she kills Priest Rose, she will go down the northern slope of the ancient temple. Although there are cliffs over there, the members of the expedition team have equipment to go down the mountain..."
His words were interrupted by Roger lightly:
"I see."
"Just follow behind me."
Next second.
Roger looked at the newly created Blood Crow Cave with some reluctance.
Then they launched an attack towards the temple!
After several ups and downs.
He came to the entrance of the temple.
Everyone saw it clearly.
Between those carved stone pillars.
The scarlet eyes lit up faintly.
That’s more than twenty man-eating deer!
They all rushed towards Roger at the same time!
Roger turned on the force shield and magic shield generator.
A dark blue condom and a pink shield appeared on him at the same time.
Face the charge of the man-eating deer.
Roger didn't show any intention of dodging.
Just meet it head on!
whoosh!
A flash of cold light.
When the first streak of scarlet flashed across the night sky of Xin Yuntai Mountain.
The Red Moon’s killing feast began happily.
Wherever the knife goes.
The crocodile head fell to the ground with a sound.
The smell of blood slowly blended into the mountain breeze.
The eight young men not far away watched the scene intently.
At this moment, they were only impressed by Roger's consummate killing skills.
But I never realized——
This was actually just the beginning of the end for the man-eating deer.
Wow!
Wow!
Wow!
Roger's knife was getting faster and faster.
There were more and more corpses inside and outside the temple.
Not long after.
The layers of sword intent required for the creation of all things have already been fully accumulated.
Roger couldn't help but want to summon one of his lord-level brothers to come out and help.
But before he could decide who to favor,
When looking around.
There was not a single living man-eating deer!
on the data bar.
…
"You have killed 1 man-eating deer, and have killed 107 man-eating deer in total."
…
"You have gained a small amount of attack effects: Freeze"
…
"The damage of the freezing effect has exceeded 20%. You have gained the freezing effect's additional effect: deceleration."
…
"Slowdown: All your effective attacks can reduce the target's movement speed by 10%"
…
“Slowing down is a good thing.”
"After all, slowing down the enemy is the same as speeding up yourself..."
"This special effect is very suitable for bows and arrows."
After clearing out the man-eating deer near the temple.
Roger confirmed that there was nothing special in the temple.
He then led everyone to the "Ancestors' Temple" in the northwest.
…
…
The southern gate of the ancient temple.
Beyond the thick darkness.
Dorothy looked at the two sweaty servants on white horses and asked calmly:
"How long will it take?"
One of them replied:
"Priest Rose's level is higher than ours. It will take us more than 6 hours to crack her Dark Labyrinth Technique."
Dorothy nodded helplessly.
The surrounding members of the expedition team all had dejected expressions.
They pursued High Priestess Rose here.
However, the opponent used the dark maze technique to block their subsequent path.
If you just wait like this for 6 hours.
I don't know where Rose has escaped to!
"team leader!"
A long sound came from far away.
It was a ranger with a short bow.
Dorothy arranged for him to observe the situation near the western temple.
Seeing him like this.
Everyone knows that something might be going on!
Dorothy said calmly:
"Don't be impatient, speak slowly!"
“Is that a man-eating deer coming?”
The ranger shook his head and said breathlessly:
"A big devil came down from the bottom of the mountain!"
"I accidentally . He destroyed all our roadblocks by himself. He should be heading towards the temple now!"
Dorothy was also slightly surprised.
"Are you sure it was one person who destroyed all the roadblocks?"
Her tone was serious.
"Yes, it shouldn't be an illusion!"
The ranger recalled carefully:
"The figure's movements were very exaggerated. He kicked the stone one after another, and directly kicked the stone as high as a person into pieces..."
Everyone felt a chill down their spine when they heard this.
This kind of strength...
It's simply impossible for humans to do this!
"That is to say, you only saw one figure."
Dorothy frowned her pretty eyebrows:
"But the possibility that the one with this destructive power is the Great Devil Commander is very high..."
In fact, she still had something to say in her mind.
In her perception.
Even the Great Demon Warlord doesn't have this ability!
"Could it be one of the four demons?"
Dorothy's heartbeat began to speed up.
Everyone looked at her.
She knows.
You have to make your own decisions.
Her decision not only affects the life and death of this expedition team, but also the fate of Tongma Town, which has barely recovered from the turmoil in the past few years!
"Let's retreat!"
Dorothy calmly ordered:
"Never mind the maze trick."
"Everyone, head to the north slope immediately. Have you arranged for the people to pick you up there?"
The team member in charge nodded confidently.
Immediately.
The monster-hunting team, which had now grown to more than fifty people, retreated to the north in a hurry.
However, just before they were about to reach the north slope.
Things started to go wrong.
Everyone in the expedition team noticed.
There are now a number of dark holes on the originally flat top of the mountain.
In the blink of an eye.
Deafening shouts of killing erupted from the cave entrance, and soon after, monsters poured out like a tide and surrounded them tightly!
…
"It's the Infernal Gray Dwarf!"
“Damn it!”
"All the brothers on the north slope were killed by them..."
There were bursts of exclamations.
At Dorothy's command.
The members of the punitive team stood in a circle with their backs to each other.
Because the incident happened suddenly, their eyes were full of surprise, but they did not have the slightest intention of retreating!
Some team members are full of fighting spirit!
"Kill them all! Then break out!"
Someone uttered a low voice.
Dorothy silently raised her one-handed sword horizontally, indicating that everyone should be patient.
Although there are many gray dwarves in Purgatory.
But their individual combat effectiveness is far inferior to that of a fully elite expeditionary force.
She always felt that something was wrong.
"etc……"
"Pay attention to the direction of the maze!"
Dorothy suddenly shouted.
Less than three seconds after she finished shouting, the mysterious veil of the "maze technique" that prevented them from continuing to pursue Rose was finally lifted.
A rough voice came slowly:
"Your reflexes are sharp."
"It's a pity that I can't escape death today."
"It's too late to join Lord Xuewu's army now."
After the maze disappeared.
A huge monster appeared in front of the eyes of the expedition team.
There is also a proud gray dwarf standing on its shoulder!
Looking at the 6-meter-tall monster.
Their hearts sank to the bottom!
…
"It's a thick-skinned 'giant monster'!"
"That man seems to be one of the three leaders of the Purgatory Gray Dwarves!"
"They were able to cross the barrier of the God of the Wilderness..."
Everyone in the expedition team gnashed their teeth.
They were somewhat desperate.
But still haven't lost the courage to fight!
"Give the order, Captain!"
Someone said:
"Let's fight them to our heart's content. Kill as many as we can!"
Dorothy pursed her lips.
The veins on the back of his hand were throbbing.
This situation was something she had never expected.
The defection of the Sika Deer God overturned her cognition, and a loophole appeared in the wilderness barrier.
This is not just a loss for Tongma Town.
It is also a major crisis for the entire wilderness camp!
"We must get the news out!"
"We must tell the people at the Wilderness Temple!"
Dorothy gritted her teeth.
The confrontation between the two sides became increasingly tense.
Under the command of the gray dwarf leader.
The giant monster walked over slowly.
She knows.
The other side's move was to reduce casualties.
The giant monster is a very stressful opponent for the expedition team!
"perhaps……"
"You can also use these strange things to write articles."
She thinks very quickly.
In the blink of an eye.
A brilliant plan came to her mind.
She was about to speak.
A harsh voice sounded:
"team leader!"
"That big devil is coming!"
As soon as these words came out.
Everyone in the expedition team was startled!
Giant aberrations and armies of gray dwarves are trouble enough.
If another big devil comes...
They simply gave up thinking!
Maybe this battle.
This is their final battle.
Dorothy was also a little confused.
She immediately put the "brilliant plan" aside, made up her mind, and raised her sword high:
"kill!"
"kill!"
The first voice that responded to her came from a distance.
It was a voice that was somewhat familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar.
The sound was extremely penetrating.
It fell clearly into everyone's ears.
Next second.
Dorothy looked up in disbelief!
Then she saw a scene that she would never forget in her life——
In the chaotic army of gray dwarves.
A nimble figure flew over everyone's heads and came to the feet of a giant monster.
In an instant.
He hugged the strange ankle.
Next second.
He used his waist and feet to lift up the strange creature in a completely unnatural way!
Whoosh!
The mountain-like monster lost its balance in an instant and was lifted high into the air.
With a loud bang!
The monster rose about 10 meters high, then fell down violently, directly into the army of gray dwarves!
“Ahhhhhh!”
Screams continued.
The gray dwarves of Purgatory looked at the scene in front of them at a loss.
Near the place where the strange body landed.
The gray dwarves scattered like birds and beasts.
only.
In their horrified eyes.
The strange body was lifted up high by a strange force again!
Whoosh!
Jump high!
With a loud bang!
Smash it down hard!
Under the shocked and numb gazes of the expedition team.
Roger held the "giant monster" up and down over and over again!
The huge strange figure rises and falls.
The mighty army of gray dwarves was instantly smashed to pieces!
on the data bar.
…
"Break through the formation of the gray dwarf army alone, and you have achieved a new milestone: ten consecutive throws"
"Ten consecutive throws: No one can resist the joy of ups and downs"
"Corresponding title: Wrestling Master (Your speed of mastering wrestling-related martial arts or skills increases by 50%)"
…
"You killed a giant monster."
…
"Your testicle size has increased slightly."
…
"You killed 1 Infernal Gray Dwarf"
…
"Your rumination ability has been slightly improved."
…
“A bunch of rubbish!”
After a moment.
Roger stood on the troll's corpse and cursed in frustration.
The gray dwarves of the swamp can all contribute their toughness, why are they so lame when it comes to you?
This attribute made Roger lose all his killing intent.
His eyes were filled with indifference and disappointment as he looked at the gray dwarf leader who had managed to escape.
"It's Lord Roger!"
"Am I dreaming?"
"He... is still so amazing..."
"That idiot said Lord Roger is the devil?"
Until they saw Roger's face clearly.
The expedition team was in an uproar!
Roger smiled at Dorothy and nodded.
The latter's expression was extremely stiff.
By the time she realized that this was impolite, Roger had already fixed his gaze on the gray dwarf leader again.
The latter managed to keep calm.
It was just the aura around Roger that frightened him.
That is a kind of...
A very special scent.
"Who is he?"
"Why do I always feel that he has a deep connection with us?"
The gray dwarf leader asked a warlock beside him.
The warlock solemnly reached out to Roger in the air.
Activated a very rare specialty!
…
"The Origin of Grudges"
…
Next second.
A dark shadow appeared behind Roger.
The shadow looked like a mountain.
Everyone looked closely.
What mountain is that?
It was clearly a horrifying landscape made up of tens of thousands of gray dwarfs' heads!
"He killed a lot of gray dwarves!"
The warlock screamed with bloodshot eyes:
"I saw a lot... He's a genocide!"
"He is the exterminator of the gray dwarves!"
"It's the Punisher in the prophecy!"
"Why are you doing this to..."
whoosh!
The molten ray blinked past.
The warlock was shot through the throat and lay on the ground with his eyes open.
Roger rolled up his sleeves in a hurry:
"Why so much nonsense?"
"Do I need a reason to kill you? I never saw you guys giving excuses to others when you killed people..."
"You will all die today!"
His action frightened all the gray dwarves.
Not to mention that Roger's ten consecutive takedowns as soon as he appeared on the stage left a very deep impression on them.
The resentful souls of tens of thousands of their compatriots alone were enough to make them weak in the knees!
This intimidating aura is accumulated day and night by the killing aura.
When they met Roger, it was like a small animal meeting its natural enemy.
Running away is the only thing they can do!
Under the threat of ethnic butchers.
The gray dwarf army was defeated without a fight -
The gray dwarf leader was the first to run away.
However, as soon as he turned around, he was killed by Roger's precise molten fire ray.
It’s a pity that there is no expertise.
despite this.
Facing the defeated gray dwarf army, Roger still pretended to kill them.
Only this way.
Only in this way can we get rid of these annoying flies as soon as possible.
Roger knew.
Even if he had no motivation to kill the Infernal Gray Dwarves, he must never show it.
Otherwise it would lack the deterrent effect just now.
Instead it will only cause more trouble.
…
Half an hour later.
There was no living duergar to be seen on the northern hillside.
The members of the expedition team pursued the enemy and killed many monsters.
But more people evacuated from the tunnel.
Outside the gate of the ancient temple.
Roger and Dorothy stood facing each other.
The latter still seemed a little overwhelmed.
The slight blush on her cheeks spread to her fair ears and neck.
Instead, Roger gave her a hug generously:
"Long time no see...old friend."
Speaking of.
He patted Dorothy's shoulder gently.
That moment.
Dorothy visibly relaxed.
But soon.
Her heart was filled with loss again.
Very quickly.
Roger loosened his grip.
Dorothy forced herself to hold back the tears that were about to burst out of her eyes, and said in a nonchalant manner:
"It's been a long time."
…
The two briefly reminisced about the past.
But both sides are very rational people and know that now is not the time to talk.
Before Roger could ask.
Dorothy took the initiative to talk about the situation here:
"After the Sika Deer God defected, High Priest Rose also fell."
"She took away a treasure from the temple that can affect the "wild barrier."
"Because we discovered her in time, she was forced to flee to the 'Ancient Temple'. In addition to the dense maze, there are also monsters summoned by Rose and the temple's own mechanisms..."
"The good news is -
The ancient temple has only one safe exit:
She can choose to take the risk or wait.
It is also possible that he could sneak out when we are least prepared..."
Speaking of this.
She paused for a moment, then continued:
"The bad news is that the number of monsters on this mountain is increasing, including man-eating deer, gray dwarves, blood crows, as well as "corrosion demons" and "old hags"!"
She said, looking at Roger.
His eyes were full of questions.
Roger asked:
"What level of monsters are the Corrosion Demon and the Old Hag?"
"The Corruption Demon is probably level 70. The old hag is his summoned creature. She is lower level than him, but she can perform sorcery."
Dorothy looked at Roger.
Finally I couldn't help asking:
"Roger, can I know your approximate strength?"
This sounds familiar.
Suddenly.
Roger vaguely remembered the first time Dorothy asked him that.
At that time, he didn't know much about this world.
So it seems overly cautious.
Nowadays.
He finally told her his strength openly:
"Better than you."
"Don't worry, it's just a little bit."
Dorothy stood there in a daze.
Then he rolled his eyes three times in a row.
…
…
After everyone gathered.
Roger and Dorothy discussed the matter and worked out the follow-up strategy.
Most of the people in the expedition team were arranged to go down the mountain.
These people are tasked with monitoring the area around Xin Yuntai Mountain.
As for the trivial matters such as sending people to the Wilderness Temple and Tongma Town to deliver the message, Dorothy had already made arrangements.
Now.
Roger only brought Dorothy and two other elite team members into the "Ancestors' Temple" from the "Southern Gate".
They must take on the task of hunting down "Fallen High Priestess Rose"!
Just walked into the gate made of iron fence.
A desolate and evil aura came to my face.
There is wild grass growing everywhere here.
Severely obstructed vision.
Roger turned on the perspective and looked into the distance without looking away.
Didn't walk long.
Human head sculptures appeared on the ground.
Look at those statues.
The surprise in Roger's eyes became more and more intense.
…
"Hint: You have discovered the ruins of the 'Zen Gate'"
…
"You discovered the 'evil Buddha head'"
…
"You found the 'Ferryman Monument'"
…
Among the weeds.
Roger moved closer to the cracked stone tablet.
I discovered that there was actually a martial arts secret book recorded on it!
He couldn't help but take a closer look.
…
"Hint: You have read the content on the 'Sandwich Monument', and you have obtained a new martial art, the Heaven-Returning Palm (click to view the content)"
…
“I’ll go!”
Roger couldn't help but slap his thigh!
“Ouch…”
Dorothy's suppressed hum was heard from the side.
…
