Chapter 24: Race against time
In the dense jungle, Xue Hua rode on the back of a cockroach and quickly rushed in the direction of the third altar.
The altar he had just destroyed was a primordial deity called the Frog Ancestor, and the other primordial deity altar closest to the Frog Ancestor was in a jungle that was denser than the average rainforest.
This primordial deity is called "Bloodeater", and its body is a terrifying giant mosquito.
It is one of the two primordial gods among the five primordial gods who have come into contact with the primordial form.
Xue Hua was now racing against time to make his way to the altar, he knew that his time was getting shorter and shorter, and if he couldn't destroy the rituals in the remaining three altars as soon as possible, the evil pact who felt threatened would probably take the initiative to interrupt the ritual and hide the remaining jade statues.
Once they did, Xue Hua would lose the best opportunity to sabotage the ritual, as he couldn't have been wandering through the jungle all the time, and sooner or later he would have to go to Ji Kul to make peace with the Legion of the Council Guard.
And when he leaves, the rituals of the Evil Pact will be difficult to stop anymore.
This means that the already unoptimistic situation for professionals will soon become even more sinister.
Cockroaches have a fast footpath, especially when there is radar navigation in the high altitude to guide them in the direction of their progress at all times - many monsters have been discovered in advance by the monitoring king insects and notified them to avoid them, and occasionally a few cannot be avoided, and the shadow insects that have been following around Xue Hua will also take the lead in helping them solve these problems.
Now that the other party has made it clear that he is destroying the altar, there is no point in covering it up.
Xue Hua simply killed all the way through, and under the invincible penetration ability of the insect swarm, although the demon guards at the third altar tried their best to stop it, it still didn't have any effect.
However, Xue Hua could clearly feel that the number of monsters was increasing rapidly, and almost all the monsters in the entire area were surging in the direction of his location.
Xue Hua glanced back at the jungle behind him, where the psionic signals of two very powerful humanoid creatures were rapidly approaching him.
"It's a high-level evil pact!
No need to clean up the battlefield! Let's go! ”
Xue Hua grabbed the jade mosquito statue from the stone platform in front of him and stuffed it into his backpack, jumped directly on the back of the cockroach without saying a word, and forcibly rushed out of the encirclement formed by the monsters with the help of the jumping insects and exterminators in the front row.
His front feet had just escaped the tracking range of the monsters, and the two high-level evil pacters followed him to the third altar.
Looking at the tragic scene of the shattered corpses of monsters and the empty stone pillar altar in front of him, even the Evil Pact Commander, who had been very calm in front of him, couldn't help but be angry.
"Damn bastards! Don't let me catch you! ”
He half-knelt down and grabbed a broken dwarf knife from the side of the stone altar, and crumpled it into a ball of scrap metal with a fierce face.
"Commander, that guy doesn't seem to have gone underground this time?"
The other evil pact person frowned and observed beside him, but he didn't find the hole in the ground he had seen before, and suddenly looked up and asked a little strangely.
"Idiot! He must have known that we were looking for him, and he certainly wouldn't be digging any tunnels in such a situation!
This guy has now gone from a sneak attack to a blatant hard break!
Inform the remaining two altars to prepare to interrupt the ceremony, and the jade statue will be handed over to the dwarf wizard for safekeeping, so that the other demons can immediately escort the dwarf wizards back to the fortress of Trivank! ”
"What? Want to interrupt the ritual? Wasn't it in vain that so many baby corpses that had been invested before?
These things are not easy to find, and if it weren't for the previous breach of Curast City, the number of rituals this time might not be enough......"
As soon as the other Evil Pact heard that the ritual was to be interrupted, a look of utter displeasure immediately appeared on his face.
You must know that the people who really go to collect the corpses of these babies are the low-level evil deeds, and this kind of dirty work is not even willing to be touched by their unconscionable guys.
They had done this with ease in the city of Curast before, and of course, there was no shortage of evil in the process.
But now that the ceremony is halfway through, it is suddenly said that it will be interrupted, and the corpses collected before will be in vain!
This means that they are likely to have to go around looking for dead babies or simply living babies, which of course makes him complain.
However, the commander of the Evil Pact didn't bother to listen to his complaints, and directly turned his head and glared at him viciously, and immediately glared back at this guy's stomach full of grievances.
The evil pact is not as severe as the professional, and it can even be said that it is a harsh anti-infighting punishment, and his commander is now on fire, and it is entirely possible to really provoke him to vent his anger.
He was alive and well, but he didn't want to die so early, and no matter how hard and tiring the task was, it was much better than turning into a corpse.
So the evil pact wisely shut his mouth, and simply turned around neatly to convey the order.
Seeing that his subordinates were still familiar with each other, the commander of the Evil Pact ignored him, and just began to think about his next move.
The third altar was located on the edge of the vast wetland, and the remaining two altars were almost as far away from here, and he didn't dare to determine which altar the destroyer had gone to until the demon in front of him had reported Xue Hua's specific whereabouts.
And so far, the guy's accuracy in finding his target is unusually high, and he is completely heading straight for the altar.
But the plan to awaken and pollute the primordial gods should only be known to a limited number of people and the dwarf wizards who carry out the commands.
Dwarf wizards are clones, but they are pure-blooded demons, and they will never reveal the location of the altar.
Where did that guy get the information to find the location of one altar after another with such precision?
The Evil Pact Commander frowned deeply, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
Just when the evil pact was guessing which altar Xue Hua was going to attack, Xue Hua, who was shuttling through the forest, had no worries about this at all.
When he finished destroying the third altar, he directly divided his troops into two ways at Isha's suggestion, one of which he led directly to the middle of the Skinning Forest to destroy the altar of the "Coiled Serpent Giant Tree".
On the other hand, the two insect mothers led the team to find the altar of the "Plague Python" in the direction of the eastern jungle.
The Node King Worm had just intercepted the order from the Commander of the Evil Pact, and as expected, after three altars were destroyed, the Commander of the Evil Pact chose to temporarily suspend the ceremony.
This means that Xue Hua only has enough time to destroy one of the two altars, and the remaining two altars are almost far away from the third altar.
Under Isha's reminder, Xue Hua decided to hand over one of the altars to the Worm Mothers, and whether it could succeed or not could only depend on luck.
After all, they have now become the public enemy of almost all the monsters in this rainforest, although the main force of the demon army has not yet been dispatched to encircle them, but the monsters and demon patrols in this rainforest alone are enough to delay their footsteps.
