Part 5 THE RED PRIESTS CHAPTER 167 THE MIGHTY WATCHMEN
The great towering building stood silent in the frozen dusk, and there was not a sound around it, as if it were only a painting.
Walking through such an environment, Derek Berg was actually more tense than exploring other places in the depths of darkness, and the hairs on his back stood on end.
After entering the place covered by dusk, the whole exploration team, including the chief Colin Iliad and the “shepherd” elder Lovia, all inevitably appeared tired and decrepit state, a kind of feeling that they had already stepped into the end of their lives, and as they moved forward, or wandering on the road, or from different buildings rushed out of the rotting giant became more and more numerous and stronger.
After several fierce battles, the Silver City exploration team finally broke through the “blockade” and “interception” of those monsters, and came to an extremely quiet area where there was no sound at all, making people’s heads spin. The team finally broke through the “blockade” and “interception” of the monsters and arrived at an extremely quiet area where there was no sound at all, making people’s scalp numb.
Colin “Demon Hunter” Iliad had to break the silence and reminded:
”This means that we have truly entered the ‘Giant’s Court’, and are about to approach the core part, the level of danger will only go up, not down.”
After hearing these words, a small number of exploration team members were somewhat shaken due to the influence of the “Dusk”, in their opinion, although most of the time in the previous stage, they and the others didn’t dare to stay for fear of being surrounded by the rotting giants, there was a situation where they cleared out all of the monsters in a small place, and were able to rest for a while, gaining Quite a few extraordinary characteristics, magical materials and magic potion formulas, this exploration can be said to have enough harvest, there is no need to continue deeper, the most important thing to do at present is to look for a suitable building to establish a forward camp, in preparation for the second exploration afterward.
In the face of such a proposal, Colin Iliad did not say anything, but only emphasized that the purpose of this exploration was to find out as much as possible about the general situation of the “Giant’s Court”, so as to accumulate enough information for the subsequent actions.
Then, he asked a member of the team called Antina to “calm down” those whose wills were wavering.
As the “shepherd” elder Lovia also supported the chief, the small number of exploration team members quickly adjusted their minds, and followed the chief as they quietly walked forward.
After a while, they saw a huge stone staircase, which was grayish-white in color, but tinted with an orange-yellow light, which was both gorgeous and silent at the same time.
Each level of this staircase was relatively high, in the place of a normal human, it would definitely be very strenuous to walk, fortunately, the shortest Elder Lovia of this exploration squad was also close to one meter nine, and could ride the gale force winds.
Above the huge steps was the city wall that was so majestic that one had to look up to see the top of it, and on it there were many traces of being destroyed and scorched, and in certain places there were arrows that were the thickness of an ordinary tree and up to several meters in length stuck in it, causing some of the stone blocks to collapse down.
In the middle of this wall was a several tens of meters high folio door, it had a more grayish-blue hue with a single golden nail set into it, and outside stood two guards that could create an extremely oppressive feeling just by seeing them.
They were five or six meters tall, wearing delicate and sturdy silver full body armor, one holding a greatsword and the other mortaring a huge axe to the ground, with an orange-red glow presenting itself behind each of their faceplates, as if they were one-eyed.
”Silver Knight ……” “Demon Hunter” Colin raised his right hand and struck his straight sword across the room, stopping the members of the questing squad behind him.
–He had long since drawn the two straight swords on his back and coated them with different drugs.
The Silver Knight …… Derek Berg heard a slight jump in his eyelids and a palpitation.
He only recently came into contact with some information from the Chief that only the top management could know, knew that the “giant” pathway sequence 3 is called “Silver Knight”, also knew that Silver City lacks the correct recipe for magic potion, but has the corresponding extraordinary properties.
What surprised and frightened Derek was that the gatekeepers of the core part of the “Giant’s Court” were actually two Sequence 3 demigods, which was one level higher than the strongest battle force of Silver City!
This was only the main gate area of the royal court, if he could go deeper, he didn’t know what he would meet.
After the fear, Derek could not help but feel a certain amount of anticipation:
Perhaps, within the “Giant’s Court”, the magic potion formula for the “Giant” pathway after Sequence 4 could be found.
In that case, the Chief would be able to become a “Silver Knight”, greatly enhancing the strength of Silver City, and at that time, he would be able to further explore the “Giant’s Court”, find more magical potion formulas, hunt down more monsters, and harvest more and more higher level extraordinary characteristics and magical materials. and magical materials.
Subconsciously, Derek glanced around and found that Joshua, Heim, Antilina and other members of the exploration team had the same reaction as himself, both nervous and fearful, but also with a little bit of hope.
At this moment, the “shepherd” elder Lovia took two steps forward and stood side by side with Colin Iliad, looking up at the gray and blue door and the two “Silver Knights” who were in an unknown state, saying:
”If there’s only one, we have a chance to fix it.”
What she really means is that there are now two Silver Knights, and even if we are willing to take huge casualties, there is no way we can clear out the enemy. After all, even if the Chief could harness the Mythic Biomorphs and fight Sequence 3 normally, the environment here does not allow him to make similar attempts… -The shroud of dusk brought decay, and what could have been tolerated might not be tolerated now.
Colin Iliad nodded, glancing at Lovia and Derek Berg respectively, and observed the front for a while:
”So far it looks like the two guards won’t attack us as long as we don’t go near that gate.”
”Maybe try to lure one of the ‘Silver Knights’ away and do a separate cleanup?” The female warrior called Antilna weighed in with a suggestion.
She had medium-length burgundy hair, and her features weren’t refined, but the combination was extremely atmospheric and bright.
In this exploration operation, her main task was to rely on a seal that she was in charge of to cure the psychological problems of the team members, and to fight against enemies with mental domain abilities.
An Tierna’s specific idea was that she and the other members would distract one of the “Silver Knights” and rely on the terrain and coordination to maneuver around, while the Chief and Elder Lovia would team up to deal with the remaining one and try to solve the problem as soon as possible.
This was Silver City’s textbook method of handling similar situations.
”Even if there’s only one ‘Silver Knight’, it’s going to be tough, and there’s no guarantee that the one you lured away won’t just reveal its Mythic Bioform.” “Demon Hunter” Colin stoically dismissed Antirna’s suggestion.
Not to mention that the “Silver Knight” itself had powerful extraordinary abilities, as long as it revealed its mythological creature form, most of the members of the Silver City Exploration Team would not be able to see straight, and would be so affected that it would be impossible for them to deal with it.
Without waiting for the rest of the team to speak, Colin Iliad looked back and said:
”Go the other way.
”Derek found some information in the afternoon town’s reflection world, which recorded a passageway in the rear area of the ‘Giant’s Court’.”
”Shepherd” Elder Lovia’s gaze then turned to Derek Berg, indifferent, calm, and not containing a single emotion.
Derek subconsciously raised the “Darknessless Cross” in his hand a little higher, restraining an unspeakable shudder.
”Good.” Lovia agreed with Colin Iliad’s proposal.
And so, the questing squad exited the massive stone staircase and circled to the left.
It wasn’t long before they saw a rugged path, with towering cliffs on the right and an invisible bottom to the left, tainted by clouds of dusky light.
Of course, the path was only relative to the giants, and was still relatively spacious for all the members of the Silver City Exploration Team.
As they took a step forward, Derek and the others were struck by inspiration at the same time, and subconsciously looked to the side.
At the edge of the cliff, a gray and blue swollen palm reached out from the orange and red cloudy air and grasped there, so dense that it was hard to count.
If these were all giants, even if they were only Sequence 7 Sequence 6 giants, relying on this number would be enough to wipe out the Silver City exploration squad here.
Colin Iliad was about to swing his sword, Derek suddenly had a subtle feeling, busy hand “no dark cross” raised a little higher, and pressed a finger on a thorn spike, seeping out bright red blood.
The twilight rays from the Cross of Purity suddenly brightened and seemed to return to the midday state, and they surged fiercely to the edge of the cliff, enveloping the gray and blue giants who tried to climb up.
These giants froze there at the same time, their bodies fading away inch by inch, quickly dissolving away.
They were not real giants, but the ghosts of those giants left behind after their tragic deaths, so the “Darknessless Cross” sensed them.
It was a holy seal of the “Sun” domain, and was the nemesis of ghosts, phantoms and evil spirits.
After easily disposing of these monsters, the Silver City exploration team continued to move forward vigilantly, and after a while, they finally bypassed the mountain walls and cliffs and saw a gray forest.
Within that forest, the trees were dozens of meters tall and extremely thick, but the skin was peeling off, the trunks were rotting, and the branches and leaves were withering, intuitively giving off a feeling of decay.
Those branches and leaves should have been entangled together, forming a cover in mid-air, blocking the light of dusk and making the interior dull, but at this moment, due to the large number of trees collapsing and breaking, the orange-red light had already been sprinkled all over most of the places inside the forest that could be seen by the naked eye.
”This is the ‘Forest of Decay’ where the Giant Patriarchs, the Giant King’s parents, are buried.” Derek looked in front of his eyes, mulled over how long he had left to use his Darknessless Cross, and spoke to Chief and his teammates.
Colin Iliad gazed at the forest for a while and said:
”It’s been destroyed, and even if there’s still a lingering danger, it won’t be too strong, so we can try exploring it.”
”Yes, Lord Chief.” Derek responded without hesitation, “My cross can combat the environment here, I’ll go ahead.”
He remembered that Mr. World had reminded him that there might be some kind of pollution lurking within that forest, and that the “Darknessless Cross” could provide an effective warning.
The gray-haired Colin nodded gently:
”Be careful around.”
Derek took a silent breath and walked towards the Forest of Decay.
At the same time, he took advantage of the convenience of walking in front of him and whispered the name of Mr. Fool.
Then, Kraven, who was blinded by the dusk and had been offline for some time, was finally able to see the concrete situation, but was unable to expand his vision too much.
