Chapter 1294 The Darkest Night (Part 2)
The Kingdom of the Dead was once a silver-white land built on bone sand.
But now, it has changed beyond recognition...
The raging demonic energy turned every grain of white sand on this land black, and the sky became muddy and gloomy.
This place... seems to have become the border of "chaos and scorched earth", waiting to be "assimilated" and "engulfed"...
Buzz buzz——
On the scorched earth, a set of magic circle runes were buzzing.
Next to the formation, stood a strange man wearing a black robe and a gorgeous cape, with pure white skin and two pupils in each eye.
His name... is Taliom, one of the two current popes of the Phantom Demon Church (there were originally three, but after the death of the soul-stealer, only Taliom and Samodil remained).
scold--
After the beeping continued for a while, along with the sound of energy surging, three figures appeared in the formation.
"Huh... we finally succeeded." When he saw the three people, Taliom let out a long breath and shook his body unconsciously, as if he was about to lose all his strength.
"Taliom?" After the players gained the ability to move, Xiaoling recognized this guy immediately and called out his name.
"Ah..." Taliom also raised his eyes and looked at Ruoyu, Xiaoling and Huajiandao, "Long time no see... the 'Three Knights of the Undead'."
"Where is this?" Ruoyu observed the surrounding situation and then asked, "Did you summon us here?"
"You don't recognize it..." Taliom smiled bitterly, "Ha... this is the Kingdom of the Dead to which you swore allegiance."
"What?" Huajian asked in shock, "This is..." She did not finish her sentence, but looked around at the surrounding scene and asked directly, "What happened during this time?"
"It's a long story..." Taliom said, "It's not suitable to stay here for a long time. Please three of you follow me to see the Spirit King first. When we get to her, she will explain it to you."
"Wait a minute." At this time, Xiao Ling continued vigilantly, "When did your Phantom Demon Church... become a subordinate of the Spirit King?"
"Haha..." Taliom smiled sinisterly, "Not a subordinate, but an ally..." He paused and glanced at the sky in the distance, "You don't know something... about 'that matter' After what happened, there are almost no forces left to fight alone in the main universe. Even if we just want to survive, we need to form alliances with multiple parties."
At this point, he withdrew his gaze, sighed softly, and then said: "Anyway, you just follow me... I must have attracted their attention by activating the magic circle just now. It won't take long for them to be there." The 'Redundant Soldiers' are here to patrol, and it will be troublesome if they are held back by those guys..."
The players only understood part of Taliom's words, and there were many questions that arose. To solve these problems, they could only take one step at a time.
So, Ruoyu and the other three followed Taliom into action. The four of them entered a magical dimensional passage through a hidden entrance, and gradually walked into the underground of the Kingdom of the Dead...
…………
The words are divided into two parts, let’s talk about Feng Bujue and their side.
These few people who were on the real chaotic scorched earth also ran with Lao Wang and Brother Zun to a place similar to an underground cave.
All the barriers here are composed of rocks that emit high temperatures. Except that there is no smoke, the feeling after entering is similar to that of a sauna.
Brother Jue and Xiao Tan had not gone far when they were already sweating profusely and were so hot that they almost stuck out their tongues.
However, Xu Huaishang didn't seem to be hot at all. Judging from her calm look and not even a drop of sweat on her face, she must have some way to escape the heat.
"I said... Xiao Shang, why did you..." Feng Bujue asked this, but instead of continuing the words, he inexplicably stopped mid-sentence.
"Why what?" Xu Huaishang asked.
"You know...it's..." Feng Bujue said, holding the wall with one hand, making a very charming gesture, and then started a "Magic Mike"-style performance. He was pulling his collar while Sticking out his tongue, he slowly stroked the sweat off his skin with his hands.
"Hahahaha..." Xu Huaishang burst out laughing at that time.
Xiao Tan twitched the corners of his mouth, and complained with empty eyes: "Are you going to make a living out of this craft if you don't write books anymore..."
"Unless 'academic lap dances' become popular in the future, I'm afraid I won't be able to make a living from this..." Feng Bujue said, stopped his very amateurish striptease twist, and said to Xu Huaishang, "But do you understand what I mean?"
"Ha..." Xu Huaishang slowly suppressed his smile and continued, "I probably understand..." She paused and explained, "Actually, this is not complicated, it is just an advanced method of using energy. One... is similar to the technical principle I used when dealing with [Sashimi]'s 'Audio Detection', of course... 'Isolation Temperature' is much easier and less laborious than 'Resonance'."
They had communicated before about what happened in Linlu Town, so when she said this now, Brother Jue and Xiaotan basically understood.
"Oh, but then again, no matter how hot I am... I won't..." Xu Huaishang said, holding on to the wall with one hand, but she didn't do what Brother Jue did, she just He stuck out his tongue and made a face.
"Tch~ I just want to liven up the atmosphere." Feng Bujue shrugged and continued.
"Next time you want to liven up the atmosphere with a similar method, can you say hello to me first..." Unexpectedly, King Dianli, who was walking in front of them, complained, "Give me a few seconds to dig out my eyes first."
"You are so annoying, are you in the rebellious period?" Brother Jue also retorted without showing any weakness, "Are you feeling lonely and confused, and are you confused and afraid that some parts of your body are starting to grow hair?"
Old Wang did not continue to argue with Brother Jue, because he knew he was not his opponent, so he just continued to move forward silently and raised his middle finger to Brother Jue.
Although players cannot do this kind of action, NPCs have no such restrictions. In a sense, this is also a kind of preferential treatment...
The crowd walked for a few more minutes and went deeper into the underground cave. After passing through several winding and dangerous paths where magma can be seen, finally, a huge space with a very high dome appeared, and the players' eyes were suddenly clear.
"It's us, Feng Bujue and the others are here." After entering that space, King Dianli shouted loudly.
His words echoed in the empty cave, and then a heavy sound of rock friction sounded.
Along with the sound, there was a distortion of space...
A few seconds later, in a piece of empty land, a large area of something that looked like optical camouflage "opened". It was not until the "invisible stone door" was pushed open by one-third that Xiao Tan and Xu Huaishang realized that there was another "entrance" there (Jue Ge discovered it from the data perspective as soon as he arrived here); if someone hadn't opened it from the inside, the stone door would not be visible from any angle.
"Finally, you are here..." Billy's voice sounded before the door was fully opened.
But...his voice sounded strange, as if he was talking in a jar, a little muffled.
The players immediately looked there, and saw...a giant armored puppet about two meters and five meters tall, with a huge body, pushing open the stone door and walking out of it, and Billy's voice came from the puppet's "body".
When the armored puppet completely walked out of the stone door, Jue Ge and the others took another look and suddenly found that... there was a large, broken hole on the left rib of the puppet that went through from front to back; the irregular shape of the edge of the hole looked as if it had been "punched through" by something.
At this moment, both sides of the hole were sealed with glass, and inside the glass... Billy's head was actually placed.
"Hey, hey... what's going on?" Jue Ge said immediately, "You and your brother merged?"
Feng Bujue certainly recognized that the armored puppet was Billy's brother Bill.
Beep beep beep --
Before Jue Ge finished speaking, Bill's square "display face" made a :( emoji.
"Heh..." Billy smiled bitterly, "You can say that..." He added, "To sum it up in two sentences... in a battle, I lost my limbs except my head, and my brother lost his power source and the ability to speak." He paused again, "Well... on the bright side, his 'emoji' is much more functional now."
