Chapter 172 Da Hong Pao, doesn't seem that powerful
"I left a magic mark on that guy who was exploring the path. I thought he died in the passage, but I didn't expect him to come underground."
"I thought he was dragged down by the monster, but now it seems that he is still alive and walked down on his own."
"It's really weird... We were so careful, but we still encountered so many dangers and lost many soldiers along the way. That guy is a low-level extraordinary person. How lucky was he to be alive..."
"I guess that guy has some special ability to identify danger. It's good this way. Although I triggered some traps by following his breath, at least I didn't run into that monster again..."
“…”
A few minutes ago.
Several surviving red-robed wizards followed the traces of magic marks all the way down.
It was none other than Kidd Miller and his men who had previously regarded Ryan as a "mine-traversing soldier". They were chased by the tentacle monster and had no choice but to go somewhere else, and then they were in danger again and again.
Finally, the red-robed wizard who released the magic mark on Ryan sensed it and discovered that the boy they thought was dead was still alive.
Moreover, it was running farther and farther, as if it had reached deep underground.
This surprised several mages. They suffered heavy casualties in their various tests, divinations, and research, but they didn't expect that they were worse off than a low-level transcendent who was "unlucky".
Then they naturally knew what to choose, found the traces left by the magic mark, and walked down in fear.
However, the path that Ryan has walked without any problems may not be the same for others.
Then, on the same road, although the group of mages avoided the monsters, they could not avoid the traps. After several encounters, one of them died and two were seriously injured.
This cautious exploration took more than ten hours to complete.
Then, to their surprise, they saw a huge bronze gate.
…
"Master Kidd, look... there really is a temple!"
“There really is a temple in this ruins!”
"Eh... besides that boy, there seems to be another person inside?"
“…”
Together with the five lone red-robed mages they met on the road, a total of ten people formed a group and carefully stepped into the bronze door.
The area of the temple was not too large, and those present were all high-level wizards, as well as spellcasters who were good at perception and could sense coverage in an instant.
Even if Ryan and the other man wanted to hide, it was impossible for them to avoid perception.
Then, the group of people who entered the temple paid no attention to the murals, but directly looked at the "crystal of divine power" on the altar.
"Master Kidd, there really is a 'Divine Power Crystal'!"
The group of ten people all had ecstatic looks in their eyes.
There aren't many things that can make these top wizards jealous, but this "crystal of divine power" has a fatal attraction!
These great wizards were not stupid. The treasure was right in front of them, but no one tried to take it. They must have thought that there might be some trap here. Moreover, there must be some very strange corpses crawling on the steps.
"That's... Canossa, the vice president of the Black Gold Chamber of Commerce."
"She seems injured. Be careful, there seems to be someone else here..."
"Hey, isn't it said that she isn't a transcendent?"
"To be able to show up here alive, she must have some extraordinary means. She probably has some superb aura concealment skills, so we must not be careless."
“…”
The ten red-robed wizards were not in a hurry. In their opinion, everything was already in their pockets.
…
Long before those people entered the door, Canossa put on a robe to cover her body. She protected Ryan behind her and said, "Be careful."
Her injuries had not yet healed, and when she saw these uninvited guests, her eyes were very solemn.
But in fact, even if she was at her peak, she might not be able to gain any advantage from these red-robed wizards when she was outnumbered.
Ryan didn't dare to be careless, so he stood back a little.
He looked at the gargoyles above his head. He was not sure if he could make these alchemical creatures obey his orders.
If not, the situation is a bit bad.
He had experienced the sinister faces of the group of mages on the opposite side before. He knew very well that even if Canossa gave up the "Divine Power Crystal", those guys would never let them leave alive.
After all, this place is perfect for killing people and silencing them.
Rather than killing someone by mistake, I would rather let him go.
…
The group of mages were also very cunning. They walked to the bottom of the altar but did not step onto the stairs.
Instead, it formed a pincer attack, blocking the retreat route of Ryan and the other two.
Kidd Miller looked around and naturally noticed the eight gargoyles.
But since neither Ryan nor the other person triggered it, it should be just a dead sculpture.
But there are obvious signs of fighting on the ground, which means that strong people have fought here before and it caused a lot of noise.
But there were only two living people in the temple. One was a confirmed low-level transcendent, and the other was Canossa J. Klofeller, who outsiders thought was a professional businessman.
Kidd cannot be underestimated at all.
He looked at Canossa expressionlessly and greeted her: "Tsk tsk tsk... Madam Canossa, long time no see. I'm really surprised that you're in the temple..."
But he didn't seem to be interested in any nonsense, nor did he seem to be interested.
As long as he is not one of the "Top Ten Legends", he is not worth their fear.
The treasure was right in front of him. He seemed to have no intention of pretending. His greedy nature was exposed. He ordered: "Now go and take down the 'Divine Power Crystal' and give it to me."
As he spoke, the magic fireballs in the red-robed wizard's hands had already condensed, like ten loaded muskets, aiming at Ryan and the other man on the altar.
Kanosa narrowed his eyes at those guys who were obviously murderous, and responded coldly: "Lord Kidd, it was my Black Gold Chamber of Commerce that first discovered the temple here. What do you mean by this?"
She wanted to find opportunities.
While speaking, he was already accumulating strength.
She thought that although the other party might have guessed that she was a transcendent, they didn't know that she was a high-explosive power transcendent. If she attacked suddenly, she would have a chance to break through the siege.
Ryan saw her back twitching slightly and knew that the wound was torn.
It is hard to say whether Canossa can use half of his strength now.
Ryan looked at everything on the field and his eyes turned.
All the red-robed mages focused their attention on Canossa, and no one paid attention to him, a rookie who was confirmed to be a second-level [Advancer].
Because there is no threat at all.
He was being stared at by a group of high-level wizards and did not dare to move. He just opened his mouth and uttered a low and hoarse sound, like a devil's mumbling in his sleep.
"*%фRRё￥..."
Canossa was the closest to Ryan. She heard the terrifying words that made her hair stand on end. She thought she had triggered some dangerous restriction again, and she said in her heart, "Oh no!"
Then I listened again, and it was true!
The eight gargoyles squatting on top of the eight stone pillars suddenly moved again.
The pairs of red eyes looked particularly terrifying in this dark temple, making people feel as if they were being locked by a poisonous snake and facing a death crisis.
The group of red-robed wizards didn't understand what happened, but Canossa still remembered it clearly!
Seeing this scene, she felt a chill in her heart.
The horrific memory of being nearly beaten to death on the spot by these indestructible alchemical monsters is still vivid in my mind.
Still coming now?!
“Damn it!”
Canossa cursed inwardly, and just as she was about to attack in anger, she suddenly felt a warmth behind her.
With a glance, she saw that Lei was already close to her.
Then, this guy expressed his "fear of death" idea in a fresh and refined way, saying: "Madam, please take me with you when you dodge."
"???"
Canossa was stunned.
If you don't stay away, I won't be able to take care of you when a fight breaks out!
But she reacted instantly. The devilish voice just now seemed a little familiar.
"You said that just now?"
She blurted out, then felt like she was asking a stupid question.
There are only two people here, who else could it be but Ryan!
Suddenly, she realized that after talking for so long, she seemed to have overlooked this most crucial issue.
Why on earth did the gargoyle go back? !
Now, no matter how slow-witted Canossa was, he should have guessed that the young doctor named Ryan behind him seemed to know how to control those gargoyles?
In just a moment, the four gargoyles flapped their wings, leaped up, and disappeared on the top of the stone pillar.
Ryan looked at Canossa's nervous expression and said, "Those gargoyles won't attack us, so just ignore them."
The underlying message is obvious: Please protect me!
When Canossa heard Ryan admit it himself, the feeling of despair that was suffocating her suddenly disappeared.
Her eyes were filled with joy, and she couldn't help but ask curiously, "What did you just say? Those gargoyles actually listened to you?"
Ryan also looked a little strange, and said: "I said in 'ancient demon language': close the door and kill some red robe wizards."
Originally he just wanted to try it out.
If he failed, at most he would be regarded as a trickster, and those red-robed mages would not care about a low-level transcendent like him;
Of course, you have to take action in the end anyway.
But he didn't expect that the gargoyles would actually listen to him.
Then, these guys are dead!
Now that "closing the door and beating the dog" is a foregone conclusion, the only thing he has to do is to protect himself from being affected by the spell.
He is very self-aware. He can probably fight off a third-level extraordinary person, but the opponents are all fourth- and fifth-level red-robed wizards, so he'd better forget it.
The most reasonable choice is to hold on to the thighs of your wife.
…
Hearing this, Canossa was shocked again: "You can also speak 'ancient demon language'?"
It’s okay that he can speak that “Coleman language” and “Ancient Monkkel language”...but can he also speak the legendary language of the devil?
Didn't that kind of advanced ancient language disappear from this world along with the gods, and its inheritance was completely cut off?
Only then did she recall that the words just now had indeed made her soul tremble, and it was definitely not an ordinary spell.
Legend has it that among the higher languages, languages like "Dragon Language", "Ancient Demon Language" and "Ancient God Language" originally conform to certain higher-level rules.
This simple sentence is actually like chanting a complex magic spell in the common language.
When words are spoken, the law follows.
Only the "ancient demon language" can explain why Ryan can control those gargoyles.
As if to prove what Ryan said, just as the surprise on Canossa's pretty face had not yet faded, suddenly!
The sound of "clicking" and "clicking" of gears came from the huge bronze gate in the distance again...
Just when the group of red-robed wizards had no time to react, the bronze door slammed shut with a despairing speed.
"The bronze door is closed!"
"Damn it! They must have used some tricks!"
"Oh no, that gargoyle is coming towards us!"
“…”
The despair that Canossa and Ryan had experienced before was now borne by the group of great magicians on the opposite side.
Eight gargoyles versus ten red-robed wizards. The battle didn't give anyone any time to prepare, and it started right away.
Is a fifth-level magician powerful?
Very awesome!
In terms of group damage ability, perhaps more than ten times the number of extraordinary people of the same level are not as good as them; in terms of single-target damage, various elemental spells can restrain almost any extraordinary ability.
The ten red-robed wizards in front of them were forming a formation. It could be said that even the “Ten Legends” would have to avoid them if they came.
But they have a fatal weakness, that is, their physical bodies are weak!
But these gargoyles are originally alchemical monsters, and they have extremely high physical and magical defense.
If they cannot be broken, they will fight to the death.
Canossa had already verified this with his life.
…
The moment the gargoyle disappeared, the group of red-haired wizards reacted extremely quickly.
"Area attack spell, [Hell Black Flame]!"
"yes!"
A group of great wizards listened to Kidd's command and instantly chanted instant spells.
In the blink of an eye, they were surrounded by a blazing wall of fire that looked like a flowing fuel oil fire. The extremely high temperature made the outer flames of the flames faintly black.
This is the most reasonable way to deal with it. This layer of black flames is enough to burn the tentacle monster outside to a crisp, and ordinary high-level extraordinary people would never dare to force their way in.
Now the flames formed a defensive circle, and they each chanted their own signature spells.
[Light of Annihilation], [Ice Cone], [Slow Ray], [Thorny Entanglement]...
There is control, damage, a sure kill, and good coordination.
However, an unexpected scene happened!
Those gargoyles were not afraid of the black fire wall at all and easily broke free from the controlling spell. They rushed in viciously despite the spells that were hitting them on their heads.
Moreover, there are not only some on the ground, but also in the sky!
These gargoyles can fly!
Once the magic attack fails to break the defense, the most important reliance of these mages for survival will be completely useless!
The moment they came into contact, the group of red-robed wizards were frightened to death and instantly understood the situation.
Earth, wind, water, fire, light, dark, thunder, metal, wood... immune to all spells!
"Damn it, these alchemical monsters are immune to magic!"
"careful!"
"ah……"
“…”
And there was no time to react, the gargoyle was too fast!
After just one encounter, the battle formation of ten magicians was torn into pieces.
[Resist Fire Ring], [Mirror Distortion], [Teleport]...
The red-robed wizards retracted their attack spells and could only use their weak and powerless self-protection spells to flee.
As for the body protection [Magic Shield]?
It can only delay the time of death.
If one punch can't break it, then use a hundred punches.
The gargoyles were tireless and pounced on the group of wizards who were running around in the temple to escape like wolves.
…
Ryan was twisted by Canossa, avoiding the core battle group and watching the battle from a distance.
But he was a little surprised when he saw the almost one-sided battle. He muttered, "It seems... the Red Robe Master is not that powerful..."
The lady next to you has been holding on for so long, but two of you ten were killed in an instant?
Kanossa rolled her eyes at him unhappily and responded, "It's not that they are not powerful, but those gargoyles are almost completely immune to magic. If you can't hurt them, you can only take the beating. Those great wizards have weak physical fitness, so it's good enough that they can hold on for a few rounds..."
Only she could truly understand how desperate these red-robed wizards must be at this moment.
I can't kill him even if I hit him, and I can't escape even if I run away...
All I could do was watch him being exhausted to death.
The physics-based superhuman could also use his great strength to repel the gargoyles and fight them off for a while. So Canossa fought one against eight and lasted for a quarter of an hour.
However, once the magician's attack skills posed no threat to these gargoyles, it was expected that he would be defeated in the blink of an eye.
What was originally a danger to Ryan and the other two suddenly turned into a nightmare for the enemies.
Canossa looked at Ryan beside him, his eyes becoming more and more complicated: How many surprises can this guy give people...
