Chapter 452: The Disappearing Portal

The harsh cry of the harpy immediately attracted the attention of the leader of the harpy, so a group of harpies chased towards the incident site. When they reached the city wall, they saw more than a dozen burrows lying on the wall. Humans, each of these cavemen still maintained the same posture as when they were standing guard, and they were completely unprepared for the attacks that attacked them.

"A bunch of trash!" The harpy leader just glanced coldly at the dead cavemen.

"What did you find here?" the harpy asked the two harpies that were attacked just now.

"Chief... leader, we were attacked by humans just now. He... they fled over there." The two harpies reported in shock.

"Hmph. The people who killed me still want to run away? How many of them are there?"

"There are... about twenty people."

"Just this few people?" The leader of the Harpy Banshee was very puzzled. It is unimaginable that just this few people could turn such a huge fortress upside down.

"yes!"

"Follow me and we must destroy these intruders!" the harpy leader said coldly.

Then, the harpy leader led hundreds of harpies and quickly chased in the direction where the humans were escaping.

Not long after chasing, I saw twenty figures running fast in front of me. Because the vegetation underground was relatively low, it was impossible to hide the figures of these people.

"Follow me and kill all these intruders!" the harpy leader gritted his teeth.

So the harpies screamed strangely and pressed toward the humans like a dark cloud. Apparently they had sentenced these people to death.

These people did not look back to check the harpy in the sky. Instead, they fled forward faster, completely ignoring the harpy that was flying closer and closer.

Regarding this unreasonable phenomenon, the harpy leader believed that these humans had been scared out of their wits and had lost the desire to fight, so they had no choice but to run away. But the Harpy is flying in the sky, and no matter how fast its two legs run, it can't be as fast as their pair of wings.

Just when the harpies were less than fifty meters away from the humans, they suddenly heard the faint sound of bowstrings, and then a rain of arrows hit them from both sides. The sudden attack caught the harpies on both sides by surprise. Immediately, a dozen harpies were shot and fell headlong.

The other harpies flapped their wings in panic and quickly lifted their bodies to get rid of the arrow rain. But their response was still too slow, and the second wave of attacks came quickly, causing another batch of harpies to be attacked and shot down directly by bows and arrows.

The leader of the harpy was even more furious at this time, and he did not expect that he would be ambushed.

"Counterattack, shoot them to death with crossbows!" The harpy leader took the lead in taking down the crossbows on his back, and began to fight back at the place where the bows and arrows were fired.

Other harpies also took out their crossbows and began to fight back against human attacks. The range of the harpies' crossbows was not far. This was mainly because they generally liked to swoop down from the air to attack with daggers, and the crossbows were too heavy due to their weight. , the number they carry is very limited, so when the enemy does not have long-range attacks, they will try their best to use close combat.

Although the crossbows are not as powerful as human long-term workers, these harpies attack from the air and occupy a geographical advantage. The shooting power of the crossbows coupled with the inertia of falling from the air is quite powerful, but the harpies expected The scene of shooting humans through did not appear. When the crossbow arrows fell, a shield wall appeared in front of the human team. These crossbow arrows were blocked by the human shields, and a "dinging, clanging" sound was heard. The bows and arrows fired by the Harpy fell directly to the ground after hitting the shield.

The harpy would not be so arrogant as to believe that a burst of crossbow arrows could defeat humans, so another wave of crossbow arrows fell from the sky. Although there was protection from the shield, some of the warriors' bodies were still exposed outside the shield, which inevitably caused some parts of the body to be exposed. The soldier was hit by a crossbow arrow, and suddenly there was a sound of crossbow arrows piercing armor and flesh on the battlefield. A dozen human soldiers were injured, but these injuries were not fatal, so these soldiers gritted their teeth and did not even hum.

Of course, humans will not sit still and wait for death. Under the protection of the shield, a burst of magical light is brewing. At a certain moment, these magical lights suddenly bloom and violently attack the harpy in the sky. These magics are not only single attacks, but also It is a large-scale strike magic, such as ice ring, magic arrow array, water dragon, etc. For a time, the battlefield was illuminated by these magical lights, which was bright and even a little dazzling.

Seeing a large amount of magic fluctuations suddenly appearing in the human shield square, the harpies felt bad. They flapped their wings again and planned to raise their height again to avoid the coming magic attack, but it was too late for them to take off again.

Suddenly, half of the harpies' team was shrouded in magical light. Many harpies were frozen into lumps of ice in the air, and fell to the ground and turned into ice slag.

At least thirty harpies were directly killed in this attack, and sixty or seventy harpies were injured. Such a huge loss made the leader of the harpies extremely sad. This was because he underestimated human beings. the consequences caused.

This completely made the harpy leader go crazy, howling and desperately ordering the banshees to fire crossbows. Since the banshees had increased their height, human bows and arrows and magic could no longer hurt them. In this case , human beings can only be beaten passively, which only increases casualties.

The humans did not fight to the death with the harpies. The entire team suddenly moved and quickly retreated deep into the cave. It was a cave that was regarded as a forbidden area by cavemen. The harpies chased for a distance and then stopped. After all, There were carnivorous bats there, and the limited height of the cave limited their air superiority. Although the harpy leader was angry, he did not lose his mind.

"Cunning humans, don't think you can escape like this. When you enter the forbidden area, you will die without a body!" the harpy said through gritted teeth.

"You guys stay here and keep an eye on those humans. If they come out of the cave, report them to me in time!" the harpy leader deployed reluctantly.

Just when humans and harpies were attacking each other, a figure emerged from a weed in the city. Then the figure carefully avoided the harpies and cavemen patrolling the streets, and quickly Approach the castle gate.

At this time, the castle gate was busy. Due to the human sneak attack just now, several cavemen and harpies were killed. Several cavemen were carrying the corpses and walking into the castle. These corpses will be disposed of in the castle. Later, they were buried in a unified way. Although the status of the cavemen was not high, those who died in battle could still get a cemetery to rest in.

However, these cavemen did not notice that a person mixed in with the teams carrying corpses and entered the castle. After entering the castle, Li Yuanhong directly activated the invisibility function of the armor. After all, those harpies could see him. In this castle But there are many harpies patrolling.

This castle is a bit like a European fortress, with a large hall in the middle and rooms for various purposes distributed around it. The first and second floors are warehouses and rooms where cavemen soldiers live respectively. The third floor is heavily guarded. Obviously, the upper floors are That's what's more important.

But Li Yuanhong does not think that the portal will be above the third floor, because the portal existed tens of thousands of years ago and will not be moved easily. Once moved, it is likely to shake the foundation of the portal or even cause it to be damaged. , these cavemen will definitely not do this kind of thing. In this case, the teleportation door is either in a separate room on the first floor, or you are underground. But Li Yuanhong walked around on the first floor for a long time, not only did he not find the teleportation The door, not even the passage leading to the underground, was not found.

"Isn't the portal in this castle?"

Li Yuanhong couldn't help but wonder if he was looking in the wrong place, but after thinking about it carefully, this possibility was unlikely. After all, these cavemen couldn't leave such an important device like the portal unattended and leave it in the wild. There is only one possibility. There is a secret door hidden in this castle, a secret door leading to the teleportation gate.

Think about it, if a castle doesn't have a secret door, it wouldn't be called a castle. Not to mention that many castle owners are afraid of death and will dig some secret passages to give themselves a way to escape. There are also many romantic castles. The owner also left some secret doors in order to meet his lover, which has become a standard feature of the castle.

However, this standard configuration, for Li Yuanhong, means absolute privacy. He does not know the structure of the castle. To find this secret passage, he can only take a blind eye.

However, Li Yuanhong had no choice but to do it many times. He didn't know it, but it didn't mean that the people in the castle didn't know it. Generally, there will be architectural drawings when building a castle. This castle was obviously newly built not long ago, and these drawings must exist in it, and these drawings may be stored in it. The location is on the third floor.

So Li Yuanhong started to go upwards. Due to the presence of invisibility, as long as he was careful not to touch other things along the way, these blind cavemen would not be able to find him.

When he arrived on the third floor, Li Yuanhong saw a room. The reason why this room attracted Li Yuanhong's attention was mainly because there were two cavemen standing guard at the door of the room. Li Yuanhong was below, even in the corresponding and more important warehouse, he did not find any. The caveman stood guard. It was obvious that the people or things inside were unusual.

This made Li Yuanhong a little bit embarrassed. The door was closed, and he couldn't break in directly. There was no wind in the castle. If the wind blew the door open, the people inside wouldn't believe it. Likely to be exposed.

But it won't work if you don't go in. It's very likely that the castle drawings you need are inside.

This made Li Yuanhong stare at the door for a long time, as if there was a treasure at his fingertips, but in front of him was an impenetrable high wall. That feeling was really heartbreaking.

At this moment, a caveman soldier ran over in a hurry, without knocking, and broke into the door. Looking at the door that was knocked open, Li Yuanhong was excited for a while, without thinking about anything, he ducked out of the way and was about to enter the door slowly. The closed door entered the room.
