Volume 6: Fighting for the World Chapter 209 Return to the Volcano
Once our four great wizard kings can let go, the battle in the Temple of Light will be a foregone conclusion. Two cherubim and one battle angel are suppressed in the defense of the light wall of the Holy Lamp of Light. Facing the all-round attack launched by us relying on our absolute advantage in numbers, they are forced to defend themselves and almost completely lose the power to fight back. In order to prevent the opponent from being trapped in a desperate situation and having the heart of a fish-to-the-net fight, and fighting to the death with us, we have reduced the upper limit of our mental power. We did not launch a full-scale attack, and were eager to end the battle. The undead men summoned by our four great wizard kings rushed to the most dangerous front line. Long Xingtianxia and others cooperated in the attack from the side, with the main purpose of suppressing the opponent and making him unable to fight back. After gathering enough powerful undead, they launched an all-out attack, and with a thunderous force, they broke through the twelve layers of defensive light walls of the Holy Lamp of Light in one fell swoop. Three angels also died tragically on the spot in the chaos - at this time, everyone was really brave and took the lead, wanting to grab the relatively high qualification value of "Servant of God". Poor my Wu Ma rushed forward and forcibly knocked away the two bone dragons blocking the way, and finally occupied a good attack position, and performed a "Bloody Battle in All Directions" on an angel of wisdom. He had just chopped out two axes when two or three spears nearby stabbed him almost at the same time, and Long Xing Tian Xia also activated the "Poison Dragon Spear" and transformed into a poisonous dragon and pounced forward. The angel of wisdom died before he could even finish using a skill.
The Holy Lamp of Light, without protection, naturally could not withstand several rounds of our attacks. With a loud bang, the lamp was shattered into several pieces. The blazing flame above the lamp immediately dimmed, and its size shrank sharply, and finally dissipated into nothingness. The Holy Temple of Light suddenly lost its hazy white light, and the light disappeared, returning to its original color. The oppressive and uncomfortable feeling that had always existed in our hearts also disappeared, as if a stone had been removed, and we felt much more relaxed. The Holy Lamp of Light was destroyed, and we finally completed this "lamp extinguishing mission" with zero casualties in the battle in the temple, and we can regain our nominal headquarters "Mind Castle".
The holy lamp has gone out, and the mission is completed, but we are still in "Heaven" and things are not over yet - after suffering such a great humiliation, the more than a thousand angels on the "Mountain of Light" will definitely not let us go. Fortunately, as long as we die, we can leave "Heaven". Whether we choose to be liberated by our companions or die at the hands of those low-level angels, it is a safe way to die without the danger of reducing the upper limit of our mental power. After a short rest, we got up and walked out of the Temple of Light. We came here uninvited, so we should at least say hello to the owner before leaving.
It was a big scene. The angels on the "Mountain of Light" had probably come out in full force. There were three layers inside and three layers outside, surrounding the Temple of Light. It was impossible to get in or out. If we wanted to leave, we had to force our way in. The first were three eight-winged holy angels, surrounded by two or three hundred six-winged seraphim, and on the periphery were lower-level four-winged angels of light and two-winged archangels. It seemed that the angels who had traveled far away had not returned yet, otherwise the scene of "welcoming" us would have been even more grand. Fortunately, we were standing at the entrance of the temple. Although the holy lamp of light was extinguished, the rules still needed to be followed. These angels did not dare to charge into the Temple of Light and could only wait outside. When they saw us appear, their eyes were filled with endless hatred and anger, and they flapped their wings faster and faster. They leaned forward one by one, ready to attack at any time. As long as we took a few more steps forward and left the restricted area, they would definitely swarm over us, waving their hands and burying us completely.
There are only twelve of us. Even with the dozens of undead men we summoned, we can't hold out for too long. Fighting against hundreds of crazy angels is just a waste of strength. It's impossible to achieve much. If we are killed by the eight-winged holy angels in the melee, it will be dangerous to reduce the upper limit of our mental strength. They looked at each other, stayed at the door, smiled, waved at the angels, greeted them enthusiastically, and then fought to death. They didn't let the good things flow to outsiders, leaving them no chance to vent their anger.
The Dark Council members such as the God of War of the Ganges and Bai Yunjian, who were on the periphery to lure the enemy, had already died in the siege of the angels with a superior number of angels. Naturally, they all escaped the pursuit of the Eight-winged Holy Angels. The fatal blows were all delivered by low-level angels. No one lost their mental strength limit, which can be said to be a very satisfactory ending. Just after we were resurrected, the "Mind Castle" was restored and put into use. Our thirty Dark Council members gathered in the "Mind Castle" and held a celebration meeting. Finally, we washed away the previous shame and had a convenient gathering place. We didn't have to run back and forth anymore, which greatly improved the office efficiency. Whether it was the impact on the outside world or the management of internal affairs, it had a positive effect. Of course, having learned from the bloody lesson, we attach more importance to the safety of the " Mind Castle" and are more strict in the selection and assessment of council members, especially the "political appearance". There must not be any unclear doubts in the personal resume, and we will never allow a second Shahai to appear in the Dark Council. It is said that the shameful traitor got a large sum of money in real life and has not appeared in "Tianxia" since then. Even if he has not given up, he must have "changed his ways and become a new man", making it impossible for us to find a target for revenge.
The corresponding meritorious rewards for participating in the "World Heroes Conference" have also been issued. The first place in a profession is a civil war and is not valued. However, I beat the light profession and the neutral profession and won the honor of "the world's best master" in the individual competition, which is of great value. It can be said to be the most outstanding achievement of the entire resistance alliance. Although the team competition lost to the glory, the Tongxin League is "the second in the world". In addition, I won the rehearsal match of the ultimate battle between light and darkness. As an absolute main force, I naturally cannot do without that merit, so I received a very generous reward. A "magic storage ring" is really a bit unexpected. It gave me an unexpected surprise. It can be said that it is a prop I have always dreamed of. In this way, I can replenish up to 40% of my mental power at one time, and I can still have some mental power after performing "Summoning the Dead" twice in a row, so that it will not be exhausted and I will not have any self-protection power. The system is extremely strict in reviewing the second "magic storage ring" as a meritorious reward, and is unwilling to issue it easily. Qiu Shui Changtian, Qing Wu Fei Yang and other top necromancers only have one "magic storage ring", and I am the first person to have "two rings in hand". If the title of "the world's best master" is not big enough, especially for the necromancer profession, the difficulty coefficient of the honor is extremely high, I am afraid that the system will still be reluctant to give it up, and will probably replace it with a fake artifact. In addition, there is a reward of a "sealing soul card", which is not the "soul collecting finger" I long for, and I am unwilling to let good things come in pairs.
My most urgent task now is to help my pharaohs challenge the Great Pharaoh Geruda and kill him to replace him. As long as I win this precious vote, I can get rid of the extremely unfavorable and oppressive situation, lift the ban on Khufu leaving the Lost Continent, and return to the "Hell Volcano" to accelerate the improvement of my own strength with the help of the abundant fire attribute magma energy. I am definitely unwilling to give up the legendary Pharaoh and strive to fight for it. The method of subduing the pharaoh to challenge the Great Pharaoh and replace them one by one is too inefficient. Facing the powerful Great Pharaohs such as Jefferson, Kurt Hubble, and Villeneuve, it is almost impossible to win. In that case, the new Pharaoh is weaker, and the 10% energy infused into the Pharaoh will naturally not be too high, which will directly affect the Pharaoh's own strength. It is better for Khufu to participate in the challenge between the Great Pharaohs. Subduing them one by one is a way to kill two birds with one stone. Therefore, we must try our best to quickly improve Khufu's strength and strive to join hands with me to compete with Jefferson and others.
The procedure for a pharaoh to challenge a great pharaoh is too complicated, but I can't be impatient. It won't take ten days or half a month to severely injure Geruda and replace him. I can only proceed step by step. Moreover, other great pharaohs such as Jefferson seem to be secretly supporting it, sending pharaohs under their control to participate in the competition and unite against me. Therefore, although I was cruel and couldn't kill him, I gave each pharaoh who went to the battle a severe blow, which could not be recovered in a short time, but I have never been able to consume Geruda's men. Every time I challenge, there are always other pharaohs who stand up to participate in the competition, delaying time, allowing Geruda to take the opportunity to recover some of his status. I can only implement the strategy of protracted war and war of attrition, and patiently wear it down.
During this period, I also subdued a group of giant magicians who went to the holy land "Karamayi" to worship, but there were still only two generations of four-armed and six-armed giant magicians, and there were no level 10 eight-armed giant magicians among them. Wuji also received good news, and finally found an immortal ghost phoenix. The unremitting efforts have not been in vain. Although it is only at the upper level of level nine, it can be summoned to the human world by me to fight. It is also a scarce high-level air combat force at this stage, and it can also play a significant role. When it is eliminated in the future, it will be given to Wu Ma to kill and devour, and reserve "immortality ability", which can be regarded as making the best use of it and dying in due time. It's a pity that the "King of Hundred Victories" Black Dragon King has been missing. Every time he sent his men to invade the territory of the black bone dragon, he provoked ordinary black bone dragons. He could only hold back his temper and use his spare time to slowly investigate one by one.
At the same time, I also put a small amount of energy into completing mercenary tasks to upgrade the level of "Tianxia Card" and strive to exchange virtual gold coins for more real euros. At the beginning, I won 400,000 gold coins from Hua Mantian through gambling. In addition to the winning rewards of previous "Tianxia Hero Conferences", the income from equipment sales from cooperating with Bai Yunjian to challenge the sacred beast Xuanwu, and the dividends from Tongxin League... I have accumulated a considerable fortune. I don’t have much to spend in "Tianxia". I have three artifacts in hand, and the equipment props are basically enough. At most, I can use some benefits in the "Dead Soul Space" to exchange, without spending money directly. Seeing that the gold coins are accumulating more and more, I still have to exchange them into real currency as soon as possible to bring me a better life.
Afeng and I spent hundreds of thousands of RMB to buy houses in Shenzhen. We bought two adjacent units in a building. We ended our cohabitation and became close neighbors. Afeng chose the place because of its beautiful scenery, complete supporting service facilities, convenient transportation, and excellent living environment. He then urged me to buy it together. Even if I may not choose to settle here in the future, it is definitely a sure win as an investment. Besides, having a house of my own means that I have truly settled down in the city, which can also make my parents who are thousands of miles away feel more at ease. He whispered in my ear every day, and finally moved me. I paid . After the decoration is completed, we can bid farewell to the wandering life of "living under someone else's roof" and move into the new house together.
Since the end of the "World Heroes Conference" more than two months ago, there is not much room for players to improve their levels. In order to further enhance their strength, various forces or individuals have increasingly focused on equipment, especially artifacts, and have increased their investment, even going so far as to challenge the stronger and more likely to drop artifacts from the sacred beasts in the Central Continent. After all, the players are still level eight professions, and the relevant professional skills have reached a high level of proficiency. It is the best time to challenge the sacred beasts. Otherwise, once a player is promoted to level nine professions, the probability of dropping artifacts will inevitably decrease further, and the chance will definitely not be as good as it is now. Under the crazy hunting of many forces, many sacred beasts are killed every day, and a lot of equipment is dropped. Four more artifacts have been released in "World", reaching as many as twenty. Real Madrid has obtained a bright artifact "Prayer Heart", which is probably able to pray to higher-level angels, or shorten the prayer time, etc. It is an auxiliary artifact. Long Xing Tianxia's worry was not unnecessary. Desert Eagle actually got a dark artifact "Ghost Crying Horn" before him. It was a long-range attack artifact. His declining momentum was completely changed. Although he was not as good as me, he had enough strength to compete with Long Xing Tianxia, and consolidated his position among the dark professional players. It is said that both artifacts were obtained by the treasure hunting teams hired or closely connected by the two of them. I don't know how many light or dark holy beasts were killed. At least Desert Eagle's investment was higher than Long Xing Tianxia, which can be said to be at great expense. Long Xing Tianxia's attempt to secretly deprive him of his position failed. If Long Teng had not become the first super mercenary group in "Tianxia", I am afraid he would have to worry about being deprived of the position of speaker.
There are two artifacts for neutral professions, one is the "Ice Soul Staff" for the ice magician profession, and the other is the "Mountain Axe" for the warrior profession. The two players who obtained the artifacts immediately doubled their value. They were originally just ordinary members of the neutral alliance and were immediately absorbed into the joint meeting by the fearless warriors and served as councilors. Under the leadership of the fearless warriors, the neutral alliance has gathered many top masters of neutral professions, and its power has developed rapidly. After all, neutral players are still the majority in "Tianxia", and the trend of the three parties has become increasingly clear.
After nearly two months of unremitting efforts and continuous Pharaoh challenges, the Great Pharaoh Geruda finally couldn't hold on. Although he killed the Pharaohs who challenged him again and again, he was inevitably injured in the challenges and didn't have enough time to recover. His injuries accumulated and seriously affected his condition. I took the opportunity to dispatch the stronger elite Pharaohs to defeat those Pharaohs who participated in the competition for the challenge qualification and intended to delay time in the shortest time, so as not to give Geruda more time to recuperate. Finally, I succeeded and killed him. The Pharaoh I conquered replaced him and became the new Great Pharaoh. After merging with the "Pyramid", it was named Pharaoh Etori by the system. Its level was the normal upper level of level nine, with dark attributes, half a level lower than Khufu of fire attributes. Its basic ability was similar to that of Khufu. With its strength as a newly promoted Pharaoh, and without a Feng Shui treasure land with a particularly concentrated dark attribute for it to madly absorb energy to accelerate its growth, it was estimated that it could only do some small things like voting and expressing opinions. It was probably impossible to count on it to help in the fight for the Pharaoh.
Finally, the day came and the second Great Pharaoh was under his command. Khufu immediately proposed to convene a meeting of the twelve great pharaohs to re-discuss the issue of not allowing it to leave the Lost Continent. This was Khufu's legitimate rights and interests. Jefferson and other great pharaohs naturally had no excuse and had to hold a general meeting as scheduled. With Etori's objection, the eleven great pharaohs were unable to reach a consensus. The ban on Khufu was immediately declared invalid. Through unremitting struggle, he finally won his freedom. Although I did not attend the meeting in person, I stayed nearby and listened to the meeting through Khufu and Etori. The three giants, Jefferson, Kurt Harper, and Villeneuve, looked gloomy and kept whispering, but I didn't know what kind of strategy they would come up with to destroy Khufu's development.
With his movements no longer restricted, Khufu naturally needed to return to the "Hell Volcano" as soon as possible to absorb the magma energy to improve his strength, which had been delayed for several months and had not made any significant progress. I had already developed a considerable force in the "Dragon Bone Mountain". As long as I did not arouse public anger, I would not take three or five bone dragons seriously. I could easily kill them with just a random order. I no longer had to be as cautious as when I sneaked here. I took Khufu all the way and successfully crossed the "Dragon Bone Mountain" and arrived at the area on the other side where I first grew up.
He hurried back to the "Hell Volcano" to enjoy the long-lost magma bath. At the same time, he applied to Hades, the Hell Dragon King, to participate in the "Hell Dragon Challenge" held on November 15th, hoping to hold on for a longer time and strive for the right to soak in the central area of the full-term "Hell Magma Pool".
