Chapter 194: A Cave Littered with Corpses
"Humans, stupid ants, my death is at most nothing more than a return of the soul to the lava sea and merge with the ancestors, and you will bear the consequences, but be mentally prepared?"
"Yes, yes." Lu Xi waved his hand, revealing a disdainful expression: "There is a second-class insect who pretends to be a literary youth in front of us and said, you abyss demons are all superb M, and it is said that you have the ability to torture the souls of mortals for thousands of years to make them immortal, tsk, what a bad taste this is...... It's a pity that I was scared from a young age. At this point, humans and demons are in a state of immortality. Moreover, it is the Atlas Mountains, the sacred mountain of the Nords and the burial place of their ancestors. Just because of this suspicion of tomb robbers, we can't live in peace. β
Seeing that the demon smiled hideously, but suddenly remained silent, Artoria asked loudly, "Let me ask again, how many of you have come?" What are the high-level demons like you? If you don't honestly stay in the lava sea and raise goldfish, what is the intention of appearing here? β
The sheep-headed demon stared at Artoria and said coldly: "Little girl of the Nords, you are very strong. However, it is not strong enough to be empty-eyed, and the despair brought to you by the Abyss Clan, you will soon have the opportunity to experience it. β
"You ...... guy"
Lu Xi spread his hands noncommittally and shrugged helplessly at Artoria: "It looks like a tough guy, and he doesn't seem to want to say anything." β
Sai Xiliu smiled and shook his head, "That's why I think you're doing it too much." It's not so easy to get words out of the devil's mouth. β
Lu Xi tried to use a mind-control technique on the seriously injured and dying sheep-headed demon. But apart from the other party's disdainful looks, he got nothing unexpectedly. His attainments in spiritual magic had allowed him to control a grown man in silence. But it's still a little unsightly in front of the High Demons, even if it's a frequent death.
Of course. Asking for a confession was not Lu Xi's original purpose. He stretched out his left hand with the Angel Hunter bracelet, a milky halo slid across the bright silver metallic lines, and the divine aura gathered in the Angel Hunter's embossed eyes, bringing her to life.
"This ...... This is...... Church lackeys' utensils! At this time, a trace of panic and retreat finally flashed in the eyes of the High Demon.
"It's not interesting. Your soul is no longer in communion with your ancestors, and the Holy Spirit in heaven may need you to do hard labor for them. Lu Xi shrugged his shoulders and stabbed his sword into the opponent's throat, and the "purification" skill was automatically activated at the same time.
"You ant......" The demon's fierce voice was choked by the cold blade that plunged into his throat, and it stopped abruptly.
Its soul has been imprisoned and invisible. The demon's pupils lost focus in an instant, and the reflex nerves in its body made it struggle subconsciously, but it was only a few seconds. Even if he lost his right hand and right foot, his huge body, which was still full of oppression, twitched, but the body that had lost his soul was nothing more than a pile of dead flesh after all. It collapsed in the snow and never moved again.
Lu Xi looked at the Angel Hunting Ring on his left hand, and the number jΓΉ behind the purification skill had become "113/200", that is, the demon soul of this goat-headed demon alone filled the bracelet with more than half of the energy. If only one or two more times. I should have enough energy to trade with Heaven and summon divine creatures such as light spirits and even angels to fight for me.
And, it won't keep you waiting too long.
Although the goat-headed demon seemed to say nothing but ruthless words, everyone could guess it. The number of Abyssal Demons who came to the Atlas Mountains, and even the High Demons, must not be too small.
"What now? Do you move on or go back? Lu Xi looked at Artoria: "Now it's not just a matter of your trial, it's a matter of world peace." I don't want to walk around. was suddenly surrounded by a group of abyss demons. β
"A trial is a trial, no matter what the enemy will face." As expected. Artoria made the most Artorian choice as a matter of course. In terms of this girl's character, even if she is about to start a war with the demon god. She's not going to back down.
Of course, as the imperial daughter of the empire, even if it is natural, there is still common sense. Artoria pondered for a moment, then said, "However, the situation of the demon cannot be ignored, and someone must notify the Heavenly Dome Sanctuary. But who should I send......"
There are only ten people in the entire team, and everyone's combat power is very valuable now.
Artoria was still hesitating, but suddenly saw a faint red light flash around her, and a bird-shaped elf the size of a crow formed by magic had already appeared on Lu Xi's shoulder, flapping her wings, and the feathers she brought out seemed to be the crystallization of energy.
"Artoria, magic isn't just about rubbing fireballs at people."
"Hmm...... It's really right to ask Lu Xi to come along, but why do I always feel stupid sometimes? Artoria's expression was particularly complicated and frustrated.
Nature is also one of your biggest cuteness, but don't give up casually!
Lu Xi tied the parchment written by Artoria and a piece of the horn of the Sheephorn Demon to the body of the Bird-shaped Demon, and then made a gesture. The crow-sized demon fluttered its wings and soared into the air, hovering for half a week before flying towards the southwestern sky.
"If there is no accident, within half a day, the Heavenly Dome Sanctuary will be able to get the news."
"Well, as long as they know what's going on here, just be careful. I don't want the Marquis of Hector to send reinforcements. The Atlas Mountain is so big, even if 100,000 troops enter the mountain, it will not have any effect, and maybe it will make the enemy flee when they hear the wind, but it is not beautiful. So, it's still up to us. β
"Uh, you mean that we're going to wipe out all these demons that have entered the mountains?"
"Isn't that how it should be? This is the sacred mountain of the Nord people, the resting place of our ancestors' heroic spirits! Artoria remained in a serious tone, and her awe-inspiring expression did not waver at all as if she was narrating the objective truth: "Of course, we have the responsibility and obligation to give due judgment and punishment to the abyssal demons that disturbed the sleep of our ancestors and blasphemed the god Atlas!" β
Artoria hesitated for a moment, and said in a somewhat deep voice: "Of course, these are the responsibilities of our Nords, and theoretically have nothing to do with Lu Xi. So there's no problem for you and your people to leave now. Of course, I personally hope you can stand side by side with me......"
It's really troublesome for a girl who is naturally stupid and full of knights to get into the tip of the horns, and you said so, can I really pat my ass and leave?
"Don't say such hurtful words, I said that I would follow you to the end, so naturally there is no reason to quit. Either way, we need to be careful. Anji, you just said that a large number of corpses of snow-capped mountain monsters and demons were found in the cave in front of you, right? Take us there! β
The astral spirits naturally do what they are told. Under Anji's leadership, everyone cautiously, preoccupiedly, and carefully guarded, and after walking along the small mountain path for about three or four minutes, they finally found the entrance to a cave on the side of the mountain wall.
The moment he entered the cave, Lu Xi could clearly feel the hesitation of the knight of Faos. He groaned for a moment, and took a somewhat rude step forward, walking in front of Artoria, as if he was ready to defend the Lord's gun at any moment.
Lu Xi sneered in his heart, and after Anji entered the cave, he also took the lead in walking in and walked in the first place in the line.
The entrance to the cave outside looks quite large, but the path inside is getting narrower and narrower. After walking for a while, Lu Xi had to lower his head and continue to move forward, which was naturally very uncomfortable. His height can only be regarded as a male standard, and as for the Nord men and Minotaur teenagers in the back, it is estimated that they are even more miserable.
After a few more steps, the little sunlight was no longer shining. Lu Xi took out the Dragon Sacrifice Staff and released an illumination technique. The gem on the end of the staff suddenly shone like a searchlight.
"Lu Xi......" Artoria stretched out her hand and dragged Lu Xi, reminding her in a low voice. She feared that such a move would expose her own goals.
"Rest assured, Angie didn't send an alert...... In fact, there are no living enemies in this cave. "He really didn't feel any signs of life. Of course, just in case, the Star Spirit Assassin even ran to the front early to explore the way.
After taking two more steps, the acupuncture tunnel finally came to an end, and the scenery in front of him suddenly opened up.
Lu Xi cautiously poked his head out and looked around, then raised his head and walked out, finally making his neck more comfortable.
This is a huge cave, well, or rather, this is a stone hall formed by nature's magic, about four or five stories high, and the length and width are also tens of meters, enough for hundreds of people to open a party here.
Although it is a cave deep into the mountain, and there is no artificial lighting such as torches and candles, it is not gloomy. That's because there is a wide crack at the top of the stone hall, almost enough for a person to pass through there. In this way, sunlight spills through the cracks, and then reflects through the snow and ice around GuΓ², and dissolves into colorful rainbow light that sprinkles into the stone hall, like a natural chandelier.
Of course, the dreamlike rainbow light spilled into the hall, but the reflection was not dreamy and exquisite.
That is, as Anji just described, the corpses of multiple demons and a large number of snow-capped mountain demonic beasts were lying in the stone hall in a messy mess. The smell of brimstone and blood permeated the hall, suffocating to the point of gigaming. (To be continued.) )
