Chapter 168: Enter the Stone Fortress of the World
Click! Rumble!
The heavy and cold ice-stone gate slowly closed behind him, and Xue Hua narrowed his eyes, adjusting to the rapidly dimming light.
He found himself in a passage made of black and red boulders, and not far in front of his predecessor, there was a staircase leading to his body.
Xue Hua, who had successfully advanced to the Legend, was now much more daring as an artist, and he did not directly summon the swarm, but covered it with the skin of the psionic exoskeleton and walked down the stairs alone.
Bear! Bear!
As Xue Hua moved down the stairs, there were flames in the braziers on both sides of the stairs.
These small braziers, embedded in the stone walls of the passages, contain a special wood that has been magically treated, making it resistant to burning but also immortalizing for years.
The firelight stretched downwards, illuminating the space beneath the stairway.
With this light, Xue Hua saw a relatively large stone hall appear at the end of the stairs, and a huge stone brazier was placed in the center of the hall, and a bright golden fire ball hung above the brazier.
Xue Hua walked down the stairs to the brazier in the main hall, looking at the golden fire, his brows couldn't help but wrinkle deeply.
This brazier is one of the barrier nodes that protect the World Stone Fortress from being invaded, this thing itself is a heavenly relic, as long as the flame in the brazier is not extinguished, the barrier of the World Stone Fortress will not have problems.
And if you want to extinguish the flames, you must at least have an extraordinary existence.
Kane had asked him to check the nodes before he came in, and there were three of them, one on each of the two levels of the fortress, and one in the Great Hall of the World Stone, all of which were obvious.
But the characteristics of the nodes that Kane had told him didn't match what he saw now, and Kane said that the stone basin should be a golden pillar of fire attached to the top of each level of the fortress, not just a fireball as it is now......
"Is it another Bal ghost?"
Xue Hua frowned, wanting to help but didn't know where to start.
"Forget it, it's better to catch up with Baal first, as long as you get rid of that guy, peace will naturally return here."
Thinking of this, Xue Hua asked Isha in the mind of the main nest.
"Isha, how is the image analysis of the monitoring king worm, can you find Baal's current location?"
"I'm sorry, Juggernaut, this building has a powerful psionic defense system, and the Monitoring King Worm and the Node King Worm can't break through this system for a while, I'm afraid it's going to be difficult to help you."
Isha said apologetically.
"It's okay, since the Inspector King Worm can't be used, then use the Shadow Worm, there are still a lot of monster projections in this fortress, and the monster projections here are more powerful than the ones outside, so let the Shadow Worms act carefully and help detect Bal's whereabouts and the way to the next level."
Xue Hua ordered.
"Understood, Juggernaut."
Isha agreed, and then the dimensional door beside Xue Hua opened, and countless shadowless and invisible shadow insects flew out from the dimensional gate and surged towards the passages around the main hall.
"Alright, it's time for me to go, since there are no maps available right now, so I can only rely on my instincts."
Xue Hua spread his hands helplessly, and chose one of the four or five passages around the main hall, and then his back shook, and he swooped into it at an extremely fast speed.
As soon as he entered the passage, the surrounding environment immediately darkened, and at the same time, a large group of demonic projections wanted to surround Xue Hua from all directions.
It's a pity that his main task now is not to farm monsters, so he doesn't have time to waste time here with these miscellaneous fish.
As a result, a terrifying and cold aura immediately appeared on Xue Hua's body, but all the demonic projections that came into contact with this aura all trembled and screamed and hid back into the deeper shadows.
Will Deterrence!
The new skill that appeared after Xue Hua's second skill mutation was able to deter those trash fish units whose psionic level was below 1.0 below him, making them afraid to fight him out of fear.
Before, Xue Hua's level was only level 66 in total, and the monster level here had even reached level seventy, so it was naturally impossible for him to be intimidated.
But now, he has entered the legendary level, and his psionic level has reached more than 9.0, which is several psionic levels higher than the monster projections here, so it is naturally no problem to deter them at all.
Spreading his will deterrence skills all the way, Xue Hua effortlessly passed through the various dark passages and halls on the first floor of the fortress.
The Juggernaut Bone Wing behind him made him travel very fast, and no monster dared to come to him for trouble, so that a passage that usually took a professional half a month to open was walked by him in one day.
Unfortunately, however, he did not find a staircase to the next level at the end of the road.
"Hey... Bad luck. ”
Looking at the heavy red and black walls in front of him, Xue Hua sighed helplessly, and a vent-like spiritual energy impact wiped out a bunch of banshees who didn't have time to escape.
"Isa, how's it going, are the Shadow Bugs responding?"
"Not yet, Juggernaut, I'm afraid it will take a little time for the Shadow Worms to explore, but I've received a report from the Overseer King Worm from another direction, and they have discovered that humans have entered the area codenamed 'Mysterious Dune'.
And there is a very familiar aura on the enter. ”
"It's very familiar... Interesting, let me see. Xue Hua said, shifting some of his attention with interest to the field of vision of the Inspector Wang Worm who sent the message.
Through the vision of the surveillance king insect, he saw a guy wrapped in a thick white cloth robe walking in the yellow sand of the Aranok Desert under the scorching sun.
And not far in front of him were the iconic red mesas of the mysterious sand dunes.
Through the monitoring of the biological signals of the king worm, six of the biological signals on this guy's body are from human genes, and four of the biological signals are chaotic, obviously a guy who has undergone some kind of genetic reconstruction surgery.
And although he tried his best to hide his psionic disturbances, the Overseer King Worm still got his approximate psionic level.
This is a legendary pact.
Although this guy didn't know what he was carrying, he was able to prevent the Inspector King Worm from seeing through the spiritual energy camouflage on his face, but it didn't matter, knowing this information, Xue Hua could basically tell who this guy was.
Who could it be if it wasn't his old friend "Number One" - "Butcher Butler" Greck?
"Oh? Is it him? ”
The corners of Xue Hua's mouth twitched.
"It seems that Dhaka's work is not very good, and he actually let that guy run away into the Aranok Desert."
"Juggernaut, Dhaka sent us a communication a few days ago that the main target of his pursuit is likely to have left the Eastern Continent and arrived in the Aranok Desert region of the Western Continent, and that he is leading his troops in pursuit.
Because you were fighting, I didn't report it. ”
Isha spoke up to help Dehaka explain.
"Well, I accept this explanation, let Dehaka stop tracking for the time being, such a good play, you can't let it be messed up, besides, the gift that our phase technician Mr. specially left in the warehouse still needs someone to sign for it!"
Xue Hua smiled and continued to watch No. 1 walk towards the mysterious sand dune, and said with a teasing voice......
