Chapter 343: Confluence
The ground is filthy and icy water, the background is gray and empty crypts, the surrounding is an empty ancient city, full of old and dilapidated houses, but there is not the slightest hint of popularity, and occasionally there are strange black shadows crawling rapidly on the streets and the eaves of houses, and those flying monsters that occasionally fly low from the blue void. Either way, it's really like those scenes in horror movies that pretend to be ghosts, that is, full of visual sense.
Since there is such an eerie foreplay, when I enter the central square again, I see a scene of a group of demons dancing in full swing, in fact, I feel a bit disobedient.
The central square, which can accommodate tens of thousands of people or even hundreds of thousands of people, has naturally become a huge lake, and the underground of the central tower, which has more than ten steps and a two-story pedestal, naturally becomes an island. All the demons who were not killed by the sudden flood were concentrated on this "island" at this time, and it suddenly seemed a little crowded. Perhaps it was because it was too crowded, and the demons really had nothing to do, and they didn't want to jump into the icy sewage for a freestyle, so they simply used the narrow platform under their feet as the basis and continued to perform the original essential work - attacking the Central Tower.
In Lu Xi's sight, dozens of demons of different shapes and sizes were clustering around a demon who was constantly jumping on his feet and looked angry. It was standing on the pedestal, jumping up and down for a moment, and for a moment Ansheng was shouting the commander, as if an adult stallion monkey was about to challenge the Monkey King to snatch the right to mate. Take a closer look, isn't it the iron-blooded real man who used his hands to cut missiles just now? Three hours earlier, he had also been blown off half of his front teeth at close range by a missile. Now it's so energetic and passionate. Indeed, is it true that only roots and perseverance are the source of strength? Even demons are no exception.
Since this iron-blooded true man is now this angry and anxious look. It shows that the attack on the central tower did not go too smoothly. Although these demons managed to control the gate of the Central Tower with great difficulty, Lu Xi could still hear the endless sounds of battle coming from the hall. From time to time, a few demonic screams can be heard. For such a long time, they haven't even completely controlled the first floor, on the one hand, it shows that the flood released by Lu Xi has indeed made this group of demons unclear, most of the cannon fodder has become nourishment for fish and shrimp, and the surviving high-level demons are also all five and seven injured, and their combat power has been greatly affected; On the one hand, it also shows that the puppets in the tower that are not "for police backup" and "cleaning" but are indeed "for war" are indeed very powerful.
All in all, if you continue to fight at this efficiency, it is estimated that the demons will not be able to attack the top of the tower by the time of the Chinese New Year.
Demons are not fools. Naturally, seeing this bad sign, several heads were a little more flexible and quickly changed their thinking. A few high-level demons who were good at climbing showed the fighting spirit of climbing the peak, and moved to the top of the tower little by little by picking at the outer wall of the central tower, seemingly preparing to climb directly to the top floor like this, like a persistent gecko struggling on the glass. But the problem is that the height of this central tower is more than twice the height of the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, and the outer walls are also unknown metal alloy stone that is so smooth that it can almost be used as a mirror, and there is no external wall decoration or steel skeleton, except for the inaudible gaps between the stones.
I really have to climb to the top of the tower step by step. Even if these demons all have sucker feet that are stronger than geckos, they will definitely be exhausted, but at that time, will these guys still have combat effectiveness? Isn't it the equivalent of delivering food to Karin?
Besides, the guardians at the top of the Pivot Tower couldn't have allowed these demons to play a summer camp-style climbing game on the Pivot Tower. Soon a stone tower the size of a millstone rolled down. Hit the bridge of the nose of the demon that climbed the highest with great precision. The roaring demon who smelled foul and looked like a gigantic hairless gorilla, and who was very good at climbing at first glance, fell from the tower wall with an unwilling scream. Rolled headlong into the icy water. It stands to reason that such a blow would not kill a high-ranking demon. But its huge body just lay on its stomach in the icy water for a long time and didn't get up, and I don't know if it was dead or in shock.
Poor this roaring demon has actually climbed more than 100 meters above the ground. If you give him a little more time, he might be able to challenge the world record for climbing a building with his bare hands.
Again, where did the stone come from? The friends on the roof won't just start demolishing the house and use it as a rolling stone, right?
Since the battle under the central tower was so hot, Lu Xi naturally couldn't find a way to approach the central tower and the friends on the top floor without alarming those demons for a while, and he was not ready to ride the mechanical puppet under his crotch to break through again. The reason why they were able to succeed was because the demons were caught off guard, and now they must have taken precautions, and the weapons and energy on the wolf puppets were not as high as they were a few hours ago. Another breakthrough battle that is exactly the same, not only to despise the enemy's IQ, but also to play with one's own life.
The three of them looked down and discussed, but they didn't find any constructive proposals. Just when everyone began to get anxious, a cold but familiar voice suddenly came from Lu Xi's ears: "Master, I found you." ”
This is the voice of Anji, the Star Spirit Assassin who has been disconnected for a long time.
When it was time to get off the dungeon, Anji naturally took the first step to explore the way under Lu Xi's arrangement. However, when the entire team entered the main body of the dungeon, the psychic chain between the Star Spirit and Lu Xi, the Summoner of the Contract, was once again in the middle of the end, exactly the same as what happened in the underground tomb of Atlas Mountain. Lu Xi can only cheat through the guò system to judge whether Anji is safe. Of course, he was also able to provide a steady stream of magic to the Star Spirit Assassin through the magic contract he had signed at the beginning, but he was never able to communicate with him. Lu Xi even began to suspect that there might also be leyline nodes like zài and tombs in this city of ancient giants, and the flow of magic emitted would interfere with or even interrupt the operation of long-range psychic magic and spatial magic.
Anyway, being able to merge with Anji is finally the first good news that Lu Xi encountered today.
"This ...... It should be your summoner, right? Hey, it's the first time I've seen such a popular summoning spirit. "If it's an ordinary person, you can't tell the difference between Anji and a real person at all, but Miss Legi Lori is a veteran after all, and she is a master of elven magic, and she can smell the rich magical aura of the Star Spirit Assassin with a shrug of her nose.
"It's not a summoning spirit, it's a star spirit, a cute and versatile servent. Be sure to understand the difference between the two, Miss Witch, or my loving two-dimensional people won't give up with you. Lu Xi smacked Miss Witch with the two-dimensional persistent worldview and aesthetics, and then turned his head and looked at the Star Spirit Assassin who appeared from the shadow of the alley between the two houses, and couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that it is not easy for you during this time." ”
There were no obvious scars or blood stains on Angie's body, but the tight-fitting assassin soft armor that was the color of night was covered with dust and stains, and it looked somewhat dusty. She still wore a headscarf covering her face, revealing only those big piercing eyes, but it was difficult to hide the obvious tiredness in them. It can be seen that even if this Star Spirit Assassin has not experienced high-intensity battles, he has at least run two or three marathons in one go, otherwise it would be difficult to show such a flawed physiological condition. Fortunately, there is nothing wrong with her psychological condition, although her eyes are tired, she still looks smart and sharp, and there is no sign of letting her guard down.
"Since you're here, it seems like you're trying to get back to the Central Tower and make peace with us. Right? ”
"Yes, master, but we've found it impossible to break through the plaza directly." The Star Spirit Assassin nodded, but his tone did not express the joy of meeting his master, nor the chagrin that his way out was blocked.
"It was impossible to suddenly get from the square...... That is, you have found other ways? Lu Xi looked at Anji with hopeful eyes.
"Please come with me, master." The assassin replied in a low voice, and then before the other party could agree to the form, he had already taken the lead. Lu Xi could only shrug his shoulders at Miss Witch and the female swordsman, and stepped to follow.
The place where Anji brought everyone to was not a very hidden secret room with black technology or treasures, but just a relatively remote house. Judging from the flat and impersonal appearance of the house, this should be just an ordinary giant two-story house. Even so, it's not much smaller than the human "edifices" with more than a dozen floors.
Floor-to-ceiling windows open on the second floor of the house, allowing you to take in the scenery around the square and the central tower, making it a hiding place with a wide view and not easy to be noticed.
To Lu Xi's surprise, in addition to Anji, there were two other people here. They also wore stealthy leather armor and gray-black cloaks, and carried discordant items such as poison bags, daggers, crossbows, ziplines, hooks, and lockpicking kits, all of which were the two scouts in Karin's team who set off first.
Of course, at this time, these two human scouts were obviously not as professional as the Star Spirit Assassins, and they had already removed the covering on their faces, revealing two featureless faces of men who looked like they were playing tricks, but one was an uncle in his forties and the other was a young man in his twenty-five or sixteen.
It is a pity that the young man is still in good condition, but the upper half of the forty-year-old uncle's body is wrapped in thick gauze, and there are already a lot of shocking blood marks, his face is pale, his pupils are dilated, and his breathing is heavy, and he is obviously a seriously injured person who can swallow his breath at any time.
"Ahh Master of Belencaster? The uncle assassin who was about to get the bento looked at Lu Xi, squeezed out a smile on his face with difficulty, and said slowly: "I really want to thank you...... If it weren't for your subordinate Miss Anji, my disciple and I wouldn't be alive now. (To be continued......)
