Chapter 178 Black Knife
The corrosive gas inside the temple became thicker and thicker, but it was a hundred thousand times better than outside the bronze door.
If you want to rush to the core of the giant flower above, you will definitely be in danger of death.
It can be said that extraordinary people below the third level have almost no chance of survival in front of those tentacles.
Although these one or two hundred Coleman warriors are strong, not many of them can survive if the door is really opened.
Moreover, a large force advancing would have no advantage at all in the face of the "tentacles", and would instead slow down the speed of the advance.
Therefore, it was finally decided that only the Great Priest Mafa, Bazel and Canossa would lead Ryan to rush out.
Originally, Ryan planned to take the eight immortal gargoyles out with him, but he found that they would only obey the orders of the Guardian Temple, so he had to give up.
It is just right to leave them in the temple, and they can also help close the door after opening it.
The temple had begun to partially collapse. Before leaving, Mafa thought about it and took down the stone slabs engraved with the seventy-two secret spells of the [Mighty Demon] and put them into the storage ring.
The statue of the god Morogos is too big, otherwise I would have taken it away with me.
As long as they can survive, God's will is still there. If they cannot survive this trip, this temple will surely be corroded into a thick soup by monster acid.
…
The three legends took half a day to adjust their breathing and restore their condition to the best, and then they really discussed some possible emergencies.
Magic cores for recovery, magic equipment, protective gear... almost everything that needs to be prepared has been prepared.
It just so happened that the things left behind by the Great Red Robes of Glory City came in handy. Whether it was potion supplies or something else, there were enough for a hundred people, which was more than enough for the three of them to sustain for a few days.
Ryan himself took out Irubek's research report and studied it himself.
The technical theory of "xenogeneic limb grafting and transplantation" was too profound for him, but the general medicines and other things were prepared, so it shouldn't be a problem to follow them.
Ryan didn't have the Dou Qi armor to protect his body, and he couldn't withstand the monster's "mouthparts". So, he also put on a set of soft armor and a set of heavy armor.
For defense purposes, and also so that the big guys can use him as a "baton", the armor has good grips.
Then, everything was ready, and Marfa prepared to open the door of the temple.
The bronze door blocked the breath of the living people in the temple, and the tentacles outside the door were probably not active yet. But it was conceivable that once the door was opened and the breath was exposed, it would surely boil and explode like cold water dripping into an oil pan.
After opening the door, they had no choice but to rush forward, with no way to retreat.
As an old legend, it is impossible for Basel to hide behind a woman.
He had transformed into a white wolf, and said to Canossa in a muffled voice: "Miss Canossa, after the door is opened, old man Mafa and I will be responsible for clearing the way. You just take the kid with you, and don't let him be taken away by that monster..."
Although it seemed like he was looked down upon, Canossa didn't say anything, "Yeah."
This was a life-or-death mission for the three legends. There was no room for shortcuts and the only option was to fight to the death.
The High Priest of Mafa did not say anything, nor did he make any exaggerated violent movements, but his skin began to glow with a bronze luster, and he had obviously entered a combat state.
Canossa's eye twitched when he saw the old man's complexion.
Although she knew that the [Mighty Demon God] technique was a secret technique passed down by the Kalman clan, and guessed that someone among the Kalman people might have practiced it, she was still shocked when she saw Marfa's bronze skin.
She knew very well how many magic cores she had absorbed over the years, but she could barely make it to the "Godly Realm". How did this old man Coleman practice?
However, she did not say much, and her fighting spirit burst out, and her entire skin glowed with a dazzling pure gold luster.
Mafa glanced at her with a slightly strange look in her eyes.
Bazel, who was standing by, narrowed his eyes in surprise, but said without hesitation, "Oh... It turns out that the president of the 'Black Gold Chamber of Commerce', Canossa, who is rumored to be extraordinary, actually has such an amazing body-refining method."
"Thank you for the compliment."
Kanosa responded calmly. Now that she was furious, her strength could not be hidden.
With Basel's vision, how could he not see that her body of steel was not simple?
But it was just surprise.
At this time, the stronger the teammates are, the better it is.
…
Everything is ready.
Everyone stared at the huge bronze gate with bated breath, their hearts in their throats.
The moment of life and death has arrived.
A low ancient demon language uttered from Mafa's mouth, and bursts of mechanical sounds were heard in the empty temple.
At this moment, the huge bronze door slowly opened!
Everyone looked out through the gap and saw that outside the gate of the temple it looked like countless giant pythons were overlapping and intertwined, forming a wall of tentacles that blocked the gate tightly.
"Hey!"
As soon as the bronze door opened, Basel roared, and then his muscles swelled like a dragon. With the naked eye, it was visible that his right arm was accumulating a vortex of fighting spirit that distorted vision.
And at the moment the bronze door opened a crack, the original "mouthparts" outside sensed the temperature of living people, and like snakes awakening from hibernation, they rushed into the crack in the door.
At this moment, the gap in the door was already as wide as a fist.
At this moment, the cyclone accumulated in Bazel's right arm had already crackled and reached its peak. With a blast of wind, he punched forward with the force of thunder.
It felt like a fist-sized shell had hit the target and then exploded in a targeted manner, exploding with a thousand times the power.
“So strong!”
It was the first time that Ryan saw Basel use his full strength.
This powerful punch directly blasted a two-meter diameter hole in the tentacle wall dozens of meters away, penetrating dozens of meters.
The broken limbs of the tentacles were scattered all over the ground.
However, there were too many tentacles outside. After this punch opened a path, dozens of new tentacles surged in from the end of the field of vision.
"rush!"
Basel shouted loudly and rushed in without hesitation.
The high priest Mafa also followed.
Ryan only saw two figures, one white and one bronze, disappear in front of his eyes before he heard the sound of "rush".
At almost the same time, his own body was pulled by a huge force and rushed into the big hole.
It felt like riding a roller coaster, with a sudden peak that stimulated the adrenaline to burst through the roof.
Fortunately, he was wearing armor, otherwise the pull would have broken his old waist.
Ryan felt like a tourist on a roller coaster fixed by steel fences. In his field of vision, the scene was rapidly flowing backwards, the wind was whistling, and the various sharp turns were so fast that it felt like his soul could hardly keep up with his body.
Then, he rushed upwards at an incredible speed. The overweight state made him feel dizzy due to insufficient blood supply to his head.
The field of vision was filled with yellow-green liquid flowing everywhere. The strong acid flowed on the ancient city ruins on the rock wall, corroding grooves like melted ice cream.
The air was filled with a strong, pungent smell like ammonia, and even through the gas mask I could feel the burning sensation in my respiratory tract.
More and more scarlet tentacles joined the pursuit, but although those tentacles were fast, they were still far behind the three legends who were good at close combat.
This time, since the monster has awakened, there is no need to hide anymore.
They didn't have to go through those complicated passages. The three legends chose to climb the outer wall and rushed directly up to the predetermined target location...
Whoosh~whoosh~whoosh~
I could hear the sound of wind whistling in my ears and saw broken tentacles flying across the sky.
It felt like pushing a lawn mower, with the grass breaking in my field of vision...
Basel led the way in front. He was unstoppable like a sharp knife. His pair of wolf claws were like sharp five-clawed blades. He grabbed down with a flash of cold light, and everything within the field of vision of dozens of meters was cut off.
The great witch priest Mafa was even more violent. Even when he was entangled by tentacles, he was not afraid at all. He just pulled and tugged, forcibly breaking them apart.
Snap! Snap! Snap!
The sound of something snapping, like the sound of a musket exploding, echoed in the underground ruins filled with yellow-green corrosive poisonous gas.
Ryan was sleepwalking the entire time, because the speed was so fast that he could only perceive passively and had lost the energy to actively observe.
…
Ryan's group of four broke through, making a huge noise.
At this time, a group of about 20 to 30 survivors in a closed stone chamber also discovered the movement outside. Most of these people were wearing dark red robes, and a few were wearing strange clothes, but all of them were top-level masters.
"One group replaces the other two, and the ones who are replaced must recover their magic power as soon as possible!"
Inside the room, a group of eight great wizards were taking turns reinforcing the earth elemental barriers of the stone chamber where they were hiding, in order to prevent it from being corroded by the monster's acid.
At this moment, a perception mage suddenly sensed something and shouted to everyone in the room.
"Sir, there are three legendary masters trying to break through outside!"
"Three?"
"Besides the old barbarian and Bazel, who else?"
"I'm not sure. But from what I sense, that person's fighting spirit is also very huge. He should also be a melee-type extraordinary person! But I'm sure he is not any other one of the 'Ten Legends'..."
"He must be a hidden expert among the barbarians. It's strange, why didn't he show up before?"
"Don't worry about them! Even if there are three legends, they can't get out of this monster..."
"No, we need to sense their movements in detail. It's a good opportunity to let them step on the mines. If we can inflict some damage on the monster, we'll have a better chance..."
“…”
No one cared about the people outside. Everyone knew that in the current situation, even three legendary transcendents would not be able to break out of this monster's belly.
At this time, a great wizard in a dark red robe spoke: "Mr. Carlo..."
This man had thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a thick face. He was Sefa Rosas, the patriarch of the "Rosas Family", one of the five major families in Glory City.
He looked at the "Top Ten Legends" [Frost Moon Swordsman] Carlo Gracie not far away and asked, "Mr. Carlo, how long will it take for your sword's 'momentum' to accumulate?"
"Five days."
Carlo responded calmly.
At this moment, what he held in his hand was not either of his swords [Frost Flower] or [Blue Oni], but a large black sword with a unique canine-tooth shape.
The knife was shining with a cold light, but what was even more strange was that a raging black fire was flowing on the blade, and as the fighting spirit continued to flow in, the flames became more and more intense.
But Carlo seemed not to be recognized by the knife. The more fighting spirit he poured into it, the more the big black knife tried to escape his control, making a clanging sound.
Sefa looked at the strange black knife and his eyelids jumped. He felt it was very dangerous. "What are the chances of breaking through the flesh of this monster?"
Carlo firmly held down the restless hilt of the knife and said in a deep voice, "One percent."
Sefa sighed slightly: "Forget it, when the time comes, we will concentrate our firepower and make one last charge..."
