Chapter 812: A Difficult Choice

The ruins of St. Renia – underground waterways

However, the ice wall was never really a wall, and it could not hold back so much groundwater for a long time, probably because of the disrepair, and the dilapidated stone walls on both sides of the space where the nebula was located also began to seep water rapidly.

Just when Nebula was embarrassed by this, a young mage in a brown phantom robe from the Hand of God team instantly struck dozens of rock and iron walls on the wall on the right, and arranged them neatly into a huge stone wall, just like the ice wall released by Nebula, perfectly blocking the continuous flow of water.

The wall on the left was blocked by the young lady in the green phantom robe of the Red Lotus Team using the Wind Barrier.

At this time, the two iron chains sealed by the stone doors of the two main halls had been lifted by Zion Lev III, and only the last one was missing, and Nebula and the others could directly enter the palace deep in the underground ruins.

Just when Nebula and the others felt that they were safe, the skulls floating at the intersection of the light blue chains suddenly turned into a huge summoning magic array, summoning out a steady stream of monsters that were wandering in the ruins outside.

Skeleton Dogs, Mummified Skeleton Dogs, Skeleton Soldiers, Skeleton Sergeants, and even a handful of Skeleton Commanders are monsters unique to the Warrior Tribe Ruins, animals resurrected by the dark power of Erigus, and human bones.

Once asleep with the fall of the city of St. Renia, they have been resurrected by the dark power of Erigus and become soulless beings.

Seeing the endless army of skeletons attacking her and the others, Eliv bit her lip and whispered, "Is this the back hand left by Erigus?" Although the skeleton monsters are not very powerful, now is the critical time, if their disturbance causes the stone door of the ruins hall to not be opened, it will be troublesome.........."

After saying that, Eliv immediately picked up the golden wyvern crossbow and used a wyvern shockwave on the skeleton monsters that appeared one after another from the teleportation array in front of the stone gate, directly knocking back the more than ten skeleton monsters of the vanguard team!

The rest of the team members also spotted the attacking skeleton army, and everyone immediately switched to battle mode and began to release their best moves to the skeleton army one after another.

Due to the low level of the skeleton monsters, the skeleton monsters did not cause effective damage to the Nebula group, not even an obstacle, at most it can only be said to be trouble!

Just when Nebula, who was desperately trying to maintain the ice wall, breathed a sigh of relief, new monsters began to appear in the summoning magic array!!

Huge and powerful skeleton monster - Skeleton Dragon!

Skeleton Dragons are undead monsters formed from the bones of dragons, and they still retain some of their abilities and characteristics after death. Although the dragons lost their powerful senses after turning into skeletal dragons, the beating red light from their eye sockets revealed that the undead creature was still vigorous.

Although the Skeleton Dragon is transformed from the Wurm species, its level is also one hundred and ten, which is a high-level monster, and for low-level adventurers, the mysterious and powerful Skeleton Dragon is even more terrifying than the Bat Demon.

After seeing the skeleton dragon come out, Xingyun and the others suddenly felt a bit of trouble, the skeleton dragon itself was only one hundred and ten and did not belong to the BOSS level, which was not strong.

However, the size of the Skeleton Dragon is very huge, only the height is about ten meters, if you can't destroy the Skeleton Dragon with one blow, and let the Skeleton Dragon destroy the ice wall, rock and iron wall, and wind barrier raised by Nebula and the others, the water will instantly flood this small place, and things will become even more troublesome!

In the face of the sudden appearance of the skeleton dragon, McGonagall, who had accumulated a circle of fighting energy, did not hesitate to use the power of the storm, releasing a strong fighting spirit to forcibly pull the skeleton dragons in front of her.

Immediately after, Ike took out a handful of bright red maple leaves from the spatial ring and threw them into the air, and the moment the maple leaves fell on the skeleton dragon's body, Ike came behind the skeleton dragon from in front of everyone as if teleporting.

When Ike made a gesture to retract the blade, Maple Leaf was slashed in half, and a powerful slash carved a deep mark into the skeleton dragon's hard bones.

Maple Leaf Slash, Ike's masterstroke, attacks enemies at a speed that is imperceptible to the naked eye, and can also stun enemies.

The maple leaf thrown by Ike is not an ordinary maple leaf, but a maple leaf that has been treated with special magic, and the moment the blade cuts the maple leaf, the blade will be attached to the stun effect, because the duration is too short, so this maple leaf can only be used once.

Then, when the skull-dragons were freed from their vertigo and ready to disperse, Anne immediately used the quasi-knight's secret order to forcibly pull the skeletal dragons back again.

Immediately afterward, Ryan applied Retardation to the Skeleton Dragons and also used a Flame Vortex to limit their movement.

After that, everyone began to gather fire on the skeleton dragon that was bound, and the battle situation seemed optimistic for a while.

However, the huge summoning magic array also summoned a steady stream of new skeleton monsters, and this time the summoned monster was also a skeleton dragon, but it was different from the ordinary skeleton dragon.

The skeleton dragon has a very old wound on the forehead of the bones, and even holds a large wooden cane, which looks very old, and the adventurers call such a skeleton dragon the old skeleton dragon.

In the face of the reinforcements of the old skeleton dragon, the members of the Law God Squad, the Red Lotus Squad, and the Demon King Crusade Team also began to fight hard.

Even Michelle, who was lazy along the way, began to use Dou Qi Concentration, accumulate Dou Qi Circle, use the Dark Sword and the Qi Absolute Sword, inflict darkness and stun abnormalities on the old skull dragon, and from time to time used the power of the storm to forcibly pull the enemy in front of him.

However, no matter how weak the old skull dragon is, it is always a monster of more than one hundred and ten levels, and because the hatred attracts too much, Michelle is unknowingly surrounded by nearly ten old skull dragons.

Although Michelle tried to use the monster spirit he obtained, the Earth Giant Bear, to solve this crisis, his meowing bear roar was only able to cause a small amount of damage and a large group of defences, but this did not change much of his dangerous situation of being surrounded.

After using Bear Roar to de-guard the surrounding Skeleton Dragons, Michelle tried to use Dash to force his way through the Skeleton Dragons' encirclement.

However, with the deep physical strength of the old skeleton dragon, which was already extremely hard, it did not suffer much damage after being attacked by the rush.

As Michelle's momentum slowed down, the old skull dragon began to attack Michelle in succession. Although Michelle released the damage reflex and holy armor in time, the attacks of the old skeleton dragons were all magic attacks, and the strong magic impact directly hit Michelle, knocking Michelle out of the air.

Michelle's physical strength was suddenly reduced to an endangered state, and if she was hit by a magic shock or hit by a normal physical attack, Michelle would be declared over here.

In the face of the old skeletal dragons attacking him, Michelle clutched his painful abdomen, bowed his head in frustration, the sacrifice of his companions, the help of that guy Lua, all this is useless!? Did you end up in such a place?

At this critical moment, Yuta, who was closer to Michelle, did not hesitate to use the leap, came directly to Michelle, and placed a stand-in scarecrow in front of the two, and stood behind the scarecrow, continuously releasing piercing arrows at the old skull dragon.

Stand-in is a necessary skill for archers and crossbow archers, and can summon a scarecrow clone with the same breath as oneself to attract the opponent's attack, as long as the scarecrow does not disappear, the opponent will regard the scarecrow as the deity.

After seeing Juta come to him, attracting and blocking the attacks of the old skeleton dragons, Michelle scratched his head a little awkwardly and said to Juta gratefully, "Thank you......... Thank you! If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I'd ......."

"Uncle Michelle, anyway, we are all members of the ruins expedition team, and we should help each other!! To be able to dedicate your meager strength to the team is a qualified teammate!! Juta rubbed her nose and chuckled to Michelle.

At this time, Zion Lev III broke the seal, and the summoning magic array disappeared, and with the breaking of the chains, Zion Lev III's soul slowly dissipated with a smile on his face..........

Seeing that the entrance to the main hall was opened, Xingyun hurriedly shouted to everyone, "Everyone!! After destroying the remaining monsters, you will go to the next level first, and Dimi and Funia and I will first find a way to stabilize the barrier here and isolate the underground river.

After hearing what Xingyun said, everyone quickly eliminated the remaining skeleton monsters and directly entered the stone gate leading to the main hall!

After passing through a dilapidated and long corridor, the nineteen members of the Nebula Squad, four members of the Hand of the Law God, three members of the Red Lotus Squad, two members of the Demon King Raid Squad, and Michelle of the Dragon Slayer Team all gathered in front of the door of the main hall.

The stone gate in front of the main hall was surrounded by a thin layer of black mist for some reason, and it was impossible to approach at all.

And the stele in front of the stone gate is engraved with such a passage -

"Brave descendants, the only way to enter the stone gate of this turbid hall is to offer sacrifices! Those who are strong in their beliefs use their blood to pave a path called hope for their companions behind them........."

After seeing that the stone tablet said that sacrifices were required to enter the stone door of the main hall, Eliv was very embarrassed and whispered, "Sacrifices are too much......... How can we be sacrificed!? ”

"In other words, we Magisters are the treasures of humanity, how can we give up such a precious opportunity to open the door!?" Ke Ao of the Law God Team also shook his head and said in a deep voice to everyone.

The two members of the Demon King's crusade team also looked at each other awkwardly, although the exploration of the ruins was not their goal, but the exploration of the ruins was related to the qualification of Zakun to challenge, and the two of them could not do the great thing of sacrificing themselves to pave the way for their companions.

A tenacious guy like Michelle naturally wouldn't think of sacrificing himself to fulfill everyone.

It is also difficult for the members of the Nebula team to make self-sacrifices, if only the members of the Nebula team are okay, it is not a big deal to sacrifice for their companions, after all, with a VIP amulet, they can be resurrected and teleported out after death, and the danger is not too great.

However, there are other team members here, and it is always a little uncomfortable to sacrifice themselves for them.

At this point, everyone couldn't help but start to fall silent..........

(People are selfish, and it's not realistic to sacrifice yourself for the sake of others if you are not a trusted companion.......... ).
