Chapter 175 Ryan's Circle of Friends
Now, the only one who can open the bronze door is someone who knows the "ancient demon language".
So Ryan could guess that the person coming outside the door must be the Great Priest of Marfa.
Before, when Ryan saw him fighting to the death with a group of top masters from Glory City, he felt a little sorry for this top master.
Now a giant flower suddenly appeared and swallowed everyone, but Marfa survived, which was a blessing in disguise.
It makes sense. Mafa will master the [Divine Healing Technique]. As long as you have enough fighting spirit, you will be almost immortal.
…
Seeing that Basel survived, Ryan was relieved, but he was not too surprised either.
All the silver needles in this legend's body have been pulled out, and his strength is ridiculously strong.
Although the "tentacle monster" was a red-robed wizard, Ryan felt that a few tentacles could not kill a legendary physics wizard like Bazel.
He had thought before that as long as that guy was lucky enough and didn't fall directly into the bottomless pit leading to "hell", he should be able to survive.
Now seeing that, it is indeed true.
And it wasn't just Marfa and Bazel who survived, they were also followed by one or two hundred Coleman warriors.
The old, the weak, women and children were almost all killed or injured in the previous battles, and were swallowed by the "giant flower monster". Those who survived were almost all high-level warriors in the tribe.
One by one, they were injured and rushed into the temple quickly.
"Quick! Close the door!"
Before the two sides had time to reminisce about the past, the bronze door had already closed.
Ryan looked out through the crack in the door and saw scarlet tentacles as densely packed as a snake cave, surging in like a tide, countless and making one's scalp tingle.
At the same time, he was also very curious about what had happened outside.
Clearly, those tentacle monsters only seemed to be active in specific areas, and there were only one or two of them... Why did they suddenly pour into the bottom of the temple, and in so many numbers?
…
call……
After the door closed, a collective sigh of relief could be heard in the empty hall.
Bazel took a look at the environment in the temple, breathed a sigh of relief, and walked quickly towards Ryan: "Haha, Ryan boy, I knew you were not dead!"
As he walked over, he glanced at Canossa beside Ryan and suddenly felt that she looked familiar.
Then he suddenly remembered and asked in surprise, "Are you Canossa J. Klofeller from the Black Gold Chamber of Commerce?"
As the former leader of the great thieves, how could he not know this top business tycoon?
In the past, they, the "White Wolf Phantom Thieves", had robbed the Black Gold Chamber of Commerce many times. The two of them did not have a big grudge, but it was definitely not a small grudge.
When the two met, they naturally became alert to each other.
Canossa had never expected to run into the thief leader [White Wolf] Bazel from the "Ten Legends" here, and was startled: "This guy is here too..."
What she didn't expect was that Ryan beside her actually knew the bandit leader!
Basel was also very surprised. To be able to survive in the temple, the means must have been extraordinary.
Although the four priests and guards of the "Black Gold Chamber of Commerce" are very powerful, I have never heard that this beautiful vice-president is a transcendent.
But now, although the other party's aura has been completely restrained, whether judging from her expression or momentum, she is a top-level extraordinary person.
He even felt a vague sense of threat.
The legend also began to ponder over it.
Could it be that Ryan was kidnapped by this woman?
That’s not right…
This woman was protecting Ryan, so it seemed like their relationship wasn't simple.
Oh shit... Could she be this guy’s mistress again?
Thinking of this, Basel's expression became strange.
…
Ryan also noticed that the atmosphere between the two men was not right. He took the initiative to step forward and introduced to Bazel: "This is Madam Canossa, my friend and ally."
Then he paused and introduced to Canossa: "This is Mr. Bazel, also my friend."
"Another ally?"
Bazel didn't know why, but he always felt something was strange when Ryan said the word "ally".
For this kid, I’m afraid being a doctor is just a side job, and his main job is Aquaman?
There is an "ally" who is the eldest princess, and there is also a little Coleman girl, and now there is also an "ally" who is the black gold beauty vice president.
This werewolf with a head full of muscles wouldn't think too much. Since Ryan said he was a friend, he didn't have much hostility and greeted him, "It's our first meeting. I'm honored to meet the beautiful Miss Canossa, the president of the Black Gold Chamber of Commerce."
In the eyes of the Phantom Thief, there are only two types of people who are worthy of attention, either top-level extraordinary people or extremely wealthy people.
Now, the woman in front of me has both.
Although Canossa's expression was not very good, he responded: " Hello , Mr. Bazel, it's an honor to meet you."
Bazere is a rough man to begin with, and it was good enough for him to just say "Hey, girl, give me a smile" without any greeting.
After exchanging a few polite words to establish their acquaintance, he ignored Canossa again.
He walked over quickly and patted Ryan on the shoulder, "Ryan boy, how come you are hiding in this temple?"
The door is closed, it is dark, and there is only one man and one woman...
The first thing that came to his mind was naturally those unspeakable events. He winked and said, "You are really good... I was worried about you before and looked for you all over the ruins. I didn't expect you to be so happy here."
The two of them were already very familiar with each other, and Ryan was not polite, and said quietly: "You are afraid that I will die and no one will pull out the remaining silver needles for you, right?"
There were only a few of them left in his body now, but it would become harder and harder to pull them out the closer it got to the end.
It can be said that except for Ryan, even if the Great Shaman of Mafa learned [Threading the Needle], it would be impossible for him to pull out those remaining silver needles before he could condense dozens of "Gang lines".
Basel didn't explain much and just laughed.
…
At this time, the Marfa High Priest also came over with the group of Coleman warriors.
They did not speak first, but knelt down at the foot of the steps with a pious look on their faces, and kowtowed to the sculpture of the god Morogos on the altar.
Ryan and the other two didn't dare to stand in front of them, so they quickly made way and retreated down the stairs.
After the high priest finished his worship, Ryan took the initiative to step forward and greeted Marfa in Coleman: "Master priest, I'm glad you are safe."
Mafa was also quite emotional, but it was obvious that she didn't look very happy that she was able to survive.
Once the seal was broken, the beliefs that the Coleman clan had upheld for generations were shattered.
And just as Ryan was greeting those acquaintances of the Coleman clan.
Although Canossa's face looked normal, he was so surprised that he couldn't speak.
She had heard before that Ryan had a good relationship with the barbarian tribe, but now seeing him greeting these barbarians warmly like family members with her own eyes, she found it hard to believe.
Before, she was a little worried that there would be trouble in cooperating with the "barbarians".
After all, she had personally experienced how ferocious these people were before. They would kill as soon as they met, and they couldn't speak the same language, so there was no room for communication at all.
Although I didn’t understand what they were saying, it now seemed that these “Colemans” also had a friendly side.
Canossa was also curious, how did Ryan make friends with these primitive civilized humans living in the forest?
Moreover, when she looked closely at Marfa, the skinny and dark old man, a hint of face.
She has now advanced to the "Legend" level. Logically speaking, she would not be afraid at all even if she faced Basel head-on.
But the higher your realm, the more you can appreciate the power of this state when you see this old man who has returned to nature.
Moreover, Canossa himself is good at controlling his fighting spirit and preventing it from leaking out.
When I looked at the old man again, I immediately understood that he seemed to be taking the same path as me!
When she looked at the old man again, the old man seemed to glance at her out of the corner of his eye. At that moment, his wise eyes seemed to penetrate people's hearts.
This made Kanosa even more certain that this skinny old man was absolutely ridiculously strong, and he exclaimed in his heart: "Top powerhouse!"
This also made her feel that her understanding of Ryan had been refreshed once again.
It would be fine if my ally had all sorts of strange abilities, but what kind of people are around him?
He is on good terms with White Wolf Bazel, one of the “Ten Legends”, and has a deep friendship with the “Coleman Tribe” which is headed by a top-level warrior...
At this moment, Canossa suddenly felt a little confused.
Personally, the two have a very close relationship.
But for the sake of justice, she felt that it was time to re-examine their previous covenant. If she could get out alive, the Black Gold Chamber of Commerce would probably increase the price of the contract.
However, those who came in brought shocking news!
…
Ryan and Bazel briefly discussed the situation and immediately realized how bad the situation outside was.
"So... the tentacles outside are actually the 'mouthparts' of the giant flower? And we, including this temple, are actually in its belly?"
Ryan thought it was the root or tentacle of some monster, but he didn't expect it to be the mouthparts inside the body.
"Um."
Mafa nodded and continued, "That is the 'Morocad Flower', a legendary creature from hell. I found some records about this creature in the ruins above. It should have been specially fed here by our ancestors to guard the temple and the seal. It is called 'Bichna'. And over the countless years, with the nourishment of the 'demon energy of the abyss', it has grown to an incredible degree..."
After a pause, he continued, "Before it was not awake, it was just hunting instinctively. Now that it has awakened, it will kill all the creatures it swallowed..."
“…”
Ryan's scalp tingled when he heard this.
It turned out that it had not yet awakened, so only one or two tentacles were used to hunt instinctively.
Now that it has awakened, its tentacles have become conscious and will attack all living things in the ruins.
And many years ago, when it was still in its "infancy", it had already grown so big that there were channels all over the city to feed it.
How big is it now?
As for combat power...
We can't just talk about its "rank and combat power". Its size has already exceeded the scope of normal creatures.
It was able to force Bazel and Mafa to retreat to the temple for refuge, which shows how ferocious this monster was.
At this time, Marfa said again: "It's not that those tentacles cannot be dealt with, but there are too many of them. It's impossible to kill them all."
Ryan also understood and had a vague idea of the monster's strength.
Simply put, it partially has the combat power of a fifth-level monster, but as a whole, it is roughly the combat power of 10,000 fifth-level monsters stitched together!
No matter how strong a person is, it is impossible to kill 10,000 level 5 monsters at the same time.
At this time, a high priest named Coleman said, "We tried to rush out before, but we found that the higher we went, the denser the tentacles became, and there were a lot of spikes and mucus. It was impossible to escape..."
Ryan's scalp tingled after hearing this, and he suggested, "Can we go underground? For example, dig a tunnel, or break through horizontally?"
The Great Priest shook his head, as if he was the only one who knew the monster's body structure. He said, "Conservatively speaking, the thickness of this monster's body is several hundred meters. It is extremely tough and has a strong healing ability... My ability can only break through thirty to fifty meters, but it will heal in the blink of an eye. If you want to rush out, you still have a long way to go. And once it feels pain, those 'mouthparts' will gather together, and there will be no chance for any living creature to escape."
With a slight sigh, Marfa continued, "And, what's worse is that now that it has awakened, after a large-scale meal, it will begin to release corrosive acid to digest the food. That liquid will digest everything in its stomach. Living things, rocks and soil, trees, and even temples..."
Ryan's face grew darker as he listened.
They now seem to have fallen into a sealed "bottle of sulfuric acid", and they will die anyway?
As if to confirm what Mafa had just said, as soon as he finished speaking, suddenly, a series of "crunching" sounds of broken stones were heard above the temple.
As if squeezed by some huge external force, spider-web-like cracks appeared everywhere around the temple, and the rustling sound of sand and gravel falling could be clearly heard in the empty temple.
Hearing this voice, everyone in the temple turned pale at the same time.
