Noble Emblem

The leader of the White Bear Mercenary was very regretful now, but his regret only lasted less than twenty seconds. Then he was attracted by the huge pyramid altar in front of him, which was obviously a landmark building in the ruins.

Those thieves who came here must know that this place contains items of great value, otherwise they would not have to work so hard. However, the mercenary captain did not understand why the other party was so familiar with this place. Their White Bear Mercenary Group occupied it. This place has not been able to explore the inner circle of the footprints for so long, but these people were able to simply avoid the group of magic beasts, and no battles occurred along the way.

The last time they only explored the periphery of the ruins, they encountered several battles and suffered heavy losses.

"There must be very precious things in this building." The mercenary leader said with a stern expression on his face: "Locke, if you continue to track them, you must not let them take away the things."

At this time, Upur, who was observing the surroundings, came over and said, "Father, the light element here is very strong. I feel something is wrong. Maybe there will be very powerful monsters in that building."

"The more this happens, it means that the things inside are very valuable." The mercenary leader took a deep breath, with a look of greed and excitement on his face: "Let's go in, kill those intruders, and then After searching this building, I don’t believe we can’t find better ancient relics this time.”

Wu Puer felt that his father was a little too excited, but he just frowned and did not persuade him. Because the father is the leader after all, if his orders are questioned too much, his prestige will be reduced. As a son, Upur felt that if he needed to maintain his father's reputation in the mercenary group, and if something happened, he would have to put in more effort. After all, there are many things that a spellcaster can do. Especially in terms of combat rhythm control.

The leader of the White Bear mercenary waved his hand and pointed at the dark entrance of the pyramid altar. As a scout, Locke naturally took the lead. He entered the altar quietly and saw that it was too dark inside. Not far ahead, there seemed to be strips of white fluorescent objects slowly twisting.

He has no special dark vision abilities. Things farther away cannot be seen clearly. In unknown places, it is most taboo to rush forward without knowing what is true or false. He lit up the fire stick he was carrying, and then he saw several white streaks more than ten meters ahead. The big bug was eating some strange minced meat, and then he clearly saw a bug chewing half of the white meat.

Are they eating the corpses of their own kind? Cuckold Locke quickly saw clearly what these bugs were chewing. Just when he was wondering, the bugs seemed to feel the light. They all twisted their bodies, facing Locke, and swayed left and right for less than two seconds. Then they arched their bodies and shot up from the ground like springs, flying directly towards Locke's face.

Fortunately, Locke reacted very quickly. He ran back and those bugs were ejected more than four meters away. And it was very fast, curling up when it landed. It rolled twice like a wheel, and then ejected with the help of force. At the same time, the mouthparts full of sharp teeth made a disgusting hissing sound.

Locke is a scout, and his combat effectiveness is not too strong. A dozen bugs don't sound like much. But when attacking a target at the same time, it will give people the illusion of rushing towards them. He was so frightened that his heart was beating wildly. He held up the fire folding bag and ran faster, just running out of the gate. When he saw his friendly troops, he shouted: "Captain, there are a lot of bugs behind us."

The mercenary captain rushed over first, followed closely by the others. Three of the dozens of bugs were shot in mid-air and flew backwards. When the other bugs were about to hit the ground, the mercenary captain swung a huge hammer and struck seven bugs into mincemeat with one sweeping blow. They flew to the side, while the other bugs were cut into pieces by another captain. Count off.

The mercenary leader looked at the white bugs on the ground and asked, "Locke, what's going on inside."

"As soon as I entered, I saw these bugs eating their own kind. Then they spotted me and chased me."

"Insect corpses?" The mercenary leader thought for a while and said: "Those uninvited thieves in front must have fought with these strange things. Since they can kill these insects, we can too. Everyone, do your best. Get ready for battle, let's attack in, Upur, you will do your lighting magic and be responsible for assisting us in the battle."

"Okay, Father."

Upur nodded, waved his hand, and several soft and bright light balls appeared around everyone. The mercenary leader wiped his face and was the first to walk into the altar carrying a hammer. Upur was the one who entered next, followed by everyone. Because of the lighting technique, as soon as they entered, they illuminated a large area of ​​the empty hall on the first floor of the altar, and then there was a sound of brushing all around. Looking from the light to the dark, it was usually There was nothing visible, so they didn't see it at all. There were many bugs nearby that were squirming rapidly in their direction, but they could hear the creepy swishing sounds as the bugs moved.

Although the members of the White Bear Mercenary Group are very experienced in combat, they do not know the living habits of these insect-shaped monsters. Naturally, they do not know that these insects have phototropism and will go crazy when they see a bright light source.

Liang Lidong and others did not know that a group of mercenaries were chasing behind them. They were sleeping soundly in the only safe spot in the pyramid. About three hours later, they almost woke up at the same time. Generally speaking, three hours of rest time is not enough for people, but these people are professionals, so naturally it is not a big problem. Three hours is enough for them to restore a lot of energy.

After everyone woke up one by one, Liang Lidong retrieved the tents one by one into his backpack, and then continued up with Catalina and others.

Catalina stood at the entrance of the stairs and paused for a while. She vaguely seemed to hear a sound from below the floor, but after thinking for a while, she thought it might be the sound of a fight between insects, so she didn't pay much attention to it, and then Keep going up.

The higher you go, the stronger the insect becomes, and this is when the effect of the sharp arrow array comes into play. Catalina walked in the front, followed by two subordinates, then three more, forming a triangle shape, and Liang Lidong was at the end.

As soon as they encountered an insect, the two rogues on the left and right wings at the rear fired first with their crossbows. This round of volley can usually kill two or three bugs. Because Liang Lidong and others did not use a light source and relied entirely on their own eyesight to walk, they did not attract many bugs, usually only two or three. One shot from two rogues will do the job.

Even if something slips through the net occasionally, it doesn't matter much. It was very simple for Katarina and the two wanderers behind her to deal with a bug. The three of them rushed forward at the same time. After a dazzling metallic afterglow passed by, the bug they attacked would change. Several pieces fell to the ground.

Although the journey was easy, it took them about three hours to climb the dozen or so stairs. On the penultimate floor, the bugs they encountered were generally more than three meters long. At this time, the small dagger in the assassin's hand no longer had much lethality. After all, the dagger was short. And the bugs are too big, even if they sting the bugs, they can also cause fatal damage.

But after all, they are professionals. Although there is no way to kill the bugs with one blow, it is not too difficult to kill a bug with a few stabs.

Now they were at the stairwell of the penultimate floor, on the ceiling five meters above their heads. From time to time, there was a heavy vibration, and Catalina looked up. He couldn't help but say: "It sounds like he's a big guy. Our weapons are all daggers and hand crossbows. It's not very convenient to deal with big guys."

Liang Lidong took out several long swords and scimitars from his space backpack, threw them to them, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I have been prepared."

Catalina chose a machete. She smiled and said: "It turns out that Mr. Beta has already considered everything. It is really comfortable to cooperate with someone like you."

"Both each other!" Liang Lidong took out a few scrolls from his space backpack to supplement himself and others with status magic that enhanced their physical strength. Then he walked up: "This is the last level. As long as we get rid of the fat bug on the top, we can go home happily."

So everyone followed the stairs and appeared on the top floor of the altar.

The top floor is a large platform. In the middle of the platform, there is a stone table used for ceremonies. On the stone table is a container that looks like a wellhead, and the container emits a soft light.

Next to this window, there is a very large insect. Its length is about seven meters and its height should be about one and a half meters.

Liang Lidong and others couldn't help but swallowed when they saw this big insect.

Catalina said angrily: "Your Excellency Beta, didn't you say that the bug above should only be four meters long? This shape is much more exaggerated than what you described."

Liang Lidong was also a little embarrassed. Then he looked at the bug carefully and was a little surprised. This bug was very similar to the one they dealt with in the game, because there was a scar on the right eye of this bug, which he used with his long Caused by the sword.

He remembered that this bug should be dead. After all, according to Gritton, people or things that die in the game will die in the same way after a period of time in reality, but this bug Not only is he still alive, but his body has actually grown by about three meters.

When the insect saw Liang Lidong and others, he immediately straightened up half of his body, and then bright light began to gather in his mouth.

Get out of the way!

Liang Lidong shouted and then jumped to the side. After all, they were assassins. Catalina and her subordinates reacted quickly and made the same move. Less than half a second after they jumped away, a pure white ray shone on the place where they were just now. Then there was a huge sound, and a large hole was blown open in the stone slab on the top of the pyramid, which was about three meters thick.

What a powerful attack! Stronger than before.

Liang Lidong's body was still in the air. He marveled, then took out a copper coin from his space backpack and ejected it with his thumb.

The bronze-colored beam energy attack hit Zaozi's body and was bounced away. Then Liang Lidong, who landed on the ground, found that the insect's body actually had a faint white film of light, as ripples appeared from his attack.渏.

Light magic barrier? Warcraft actually knows this kind of advanced defensive magic?

Liang Lidong felt a little incredible.

At this time, everyone in the assassination union also adjusted their body weight in mid-air and landed on the ground. As soon as the two wanderers landed, they quickly fired their crossbows at the insect's eyes. As a result, the crossbow bolts were bounced aside as soon as they hit the insect's eyes.

The eyes are actually protected by light barrier magic?

Because the vital parts were attacked, although no real damage was caused, the bug was obviously irritated. It opened its mouth, exposed its dense teeth, and rushed towards one of the wanderers. Because the bug's body is too big, it is impossible for it to launch a projectile attack, but its moving speed is not slow. It makes huge vibrations when running, just like a Type 59 tank going down the mountain.

However, the wanderer was faster. The person being chased by the bug turned around and ran away. After the bug chased him for a few steps, he found that he could not catch up. He stopped in place for a while, then opened his mouth and sprayed out a white ray. , when he was about to hit the wanderer, the latter crouched down and actually used a sliding shovel to glide on the ground for several meters to avoid the attack. Then he got up at an extremely fast speed and continued running.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Catalina and the other two assassins escaped into the shadows and appeared next to the insect like ghosts. The long thorns in the hands of the three of them stabbed the insect's body with all their strength. Unfortunately, the sword was struck by the insect's side. The white light film bounced to the side.

The front half of the insect's body remained motionless, but the back half of its body suddenly swung towards Catalina, because it felt that Catalina was the greatest threat to it at this time.

"Physical attacks are useless."

When Qian Jun was about to attack, Katarina turned into a shadow to avoid the insect's attack, and she shouted: "Your Excellency Beta, please think of a way quickly."

Liang Lidong closed his eyes and thought for a second, then shouted: "This bug is much stronger than us and it is impossible to kill. You drag it first, and wait until I find a chance to collect the Guangming Well water into the space backpack." , you jump under the altar immediately, I have a way to prevent you from falling to death."

"There is a height of several hundred meters here. It would be strange if you don't die if you jump."

"I have a scroll of levitation!" Liang Lidong shouted while running towards the water in Guangming Well: "There are enough, you will definitely not die."

Hearing this, Catalina gritted her teeth and said: "Fight, the others, while ensuring their own lives, will attack this fat insect with all their strength, attract its attention, and try their best to create opportunities for Lord Beta."

As soon as the order was given, the two wanderers drew out two crossbows at the same time, and then the crossbow arrows shot into the big insect's eyes like raindrops. (To be continued...)
