Chapter 456: Portal

The leader of the cavemen sent out a distress signal, and at this time the leader of the harpy was sulking in the house. Today he was ambushed by humans. Although the loss of troops was not many, the humans escaped with almost no damage. This is a great shame. .

It is precisely because of this that when I see the cavemen, I feel that they are laughing at me. In fact, the cavemen have no such idea at all, so the caveman leader becomes a punching bag.

Although she was partly angry, Harpy still felt like a big stone was pressing on her heart. The portal is about to open. How will I explain it to my superiors? If I am held accountable, I will lose my official position in the least case, or my life will be in danger in the worst case. Moreover, the harpy is considering whether to use the leader of the cavemen as a scapegoat.

But at this moment, something seemed to happen downstairs. They were shouting and screaming, and the sounds were very miserable. The sounds were definitely screams caused by torture. This made the upset Harpy The demon is even more irritable.

"What is this caveman doing? Is he dissatisfied with me and taking his subordinates to vent? No, this sound doesn't seem to come from a person?" The harpy was very confused. He even wondered if someone had rushed in. Inside the castle, but thinking about it, I rejected this idea. The gate of the castle, not to mention humans, even the dragon, would not be able to open it for a while.

Just when the harpy was about to send someone to see what was going on below, the door was suddenly pushed open, and a harpy ran in in a panic: "Chief... leader, it's not good, I'm... below." A monster is attacking!"

Upon hearing this, the harpy was confused. What kind of monster was it? Where did it attack?

After asking for a long time, the harpy figured it out. Now the harpy was no longer calm and quickly ordered: "Hurry up and gather the team and go down to support!"

At this time, the Harpy could only put aside its dissatisfaction with the cavemen. Once the castle fell, he could not afford this responsibility.

Soon the Harpy came to the second floor, where he saw the monster, the underage Death Insect.

Ordinary soldiers may feel fear when they see the death bug, but the leader of the harpy is full of greed, because he knows that the death bug is the key to finding the crystal mine. As long as the death bug reaches adulthood, it will protect him otherwise. A crystal mineral vein, so this underage death insect is definitely a priceless treasure. This time he encountered it, and he must not let it go.

"Chief of the cavemen, you deal with the other mutant beasts, and I'll deal with the death bug!" the harpy leader ordered with a somewhat excited tone. At this time, his attention was completely on the death bug. , not even thinking about why this death insect appeared here.

Not only did the Harpy ignore the unreasonable appearance of the Death Worm, but even the leader of the cavemen did not think about this problem. After all, the Death Worm would not run into the castle for no reason. There is no crystal mine here, and it is imprisoned. The death insect's cage is indestructible, and the death insect cannot break it.

Just when the cavemen and harpies began to attack the mutant beasts, a figure quietly walked out from a room on the third floor near the stairs. He turned around and listened to the fight below, and quickly sneaked upstairs quietly. Go, Li Yuanhong has been hiding here until he watched the harpy leader leading his men downstairs through the crack in the door. Only then did Li Yuanhong dare to come out and sneak upstairs quietly.

With the guidance of the map, Li Yuanhong quickly arrived at the room where the stone pillar was. This was the room of the leader of the harpy. However, the harpy was not in the room at this time, and the guards standing guard also followed the harpy. The demon went downstairs to fight.

Li Yuanhong gently pushed the door open. It had to be said that these aliens had really poor awareness of precautions. The doors were not locked, which actually reduced Li Yuanhong's troubles a lot.

After entering the door, it was obvious that this house would be much cleaner and tidier than the caveman's room, but for some reason these aliens like to use hay as a sleeping place, and the sleeping place is like a bird's nest.

Scanning the room, Li Yuanhong saw a treasure box placed in the corner at a glance. It was a magic treasure box one level higher than the caveman's magic treasure box. However, Li Yuanhong suppressed his excitement and quickly looked for the secret passage. Li Yuanhong didn't know that he was downstairs. How long can the underage death bug last? If it is destroyed by the harpy in just two attacks, he will have to seize the time.

The stone pillar was facing the door, with half of the column exposed on the wall. Li Yuanhong carefully searched around the column, and soon found a knob in an inconspicuous place next to it. Li Yuanhong twisted the knob, and the protruding stone pillar turned out to be... It opened, revealing a downward passage. Li Yuanhong quickly stepped in, closed the secret door inside, and began to walk down cautiously.

This stone pillar leads directly to the underground, just on the other side of the dungeon. When you reach the underground exit, there is a magic door with a very high level. Fortunately, Li Yuanhong prepared a lot of magic detection scrolls in advance. After releasing the magic detection scrolls, the magic door appears. The magic fluctuations can be seen at a glance. It is said that the magic runes on it are very complicated, but for people like Li Yuanhong who have learned thieves skills, these fancy magic runes are actually easy to crack as long as the magic nodes are found.

In the thief skills, the difficulty of opening a magic lock is determined by the magic node and the correlation between the magic node. For a magic door with only one magic node in front of you, it is simply a matter of effort.

Li Yuanhong opened the magic door smoothly and stepped into a very large underground hall. In this underground hall, there were no complicated furnishings, it was just empty. In the center of the hall, there was a complex rune array. Magic, in the center of the rune formation, there are two semicircular frames, standing there alone. Li Yuanhong knew that it was the portal. As long as the time is up, the power of time and space will be injected into the magic formation, and then the magic formation will absorb the energy. , the feedback said that on the two semicircular metals, the portal will appear on them.

Li Yuanhong wanted to destroy these magic circles directly, but his reason told Li Yuanhong that not only was this useless, but it would also expose his whereabouts. So Li Yuanhong took out the crystal that Naga had given him and started looking for a place to place it. Soon, Li Yuanhong found a groove at the connection between two metals, and the crystal happened to match the groove.

Li Yuanhong then placed the crystal in the groove. Just after the crystal was placed in, the entire magic array flashed with magic light, but it soon subsided. Li Yuanhong knew that this was the crystal stone that worked.

Li Yuanhong checked it carefully again and felt that there was no problem, so he began to look for other passages around him. After all, it was too risky to return from the original route.

Li Yuanhong searched carefully and found that there was only one passage here. However, opposite the entrance of the castle, Li Yuanhong found signs of collapse. However, this collapsed place took too long. If he did not observe carefully, he would not be able to tell the difference. differences elsewhere.

So Li Yuanhong put his hand on the collapsed earth wall and instantly collected the collapsed rocks into the space. Fortunately, Li Yuanhong had a large space, otherwise it would be difficult to move hundreds of cubic meters of sand and soil at once.

When Li Yuanhong moved the sand away, a tunnel was exposed, with tracks inside and mine cars on it. However, Li Yuanhong also saw many bones nearby, as well as some rusted AK47 submachine guns. Obviously, this is the passage that was originally dug by humans, but it was later blown up by humans.

Li Yuanhong quickly piled the sand and stones from the space into the collapsed passage to prevent the cavemen and harpies from seeing the clues. However, when laying it back, Li Yuanhong left an observation space so that he could observe the movement of the portal at any time.

Just when Li Yuanhong was manipulating the portal, the leader of the harpy was fighting the death insect. It must be said that the death insect was worthy of being a monster. It attacked the harpy one after another with swarm lightning strikes and deadly corrosive bombs. Come. If the harpies hadn't been able to fly and were relatively fast, I'm afraid all the nearly one hundred harpies brought by the harpies would have died here.

Even if the harpies relied on their flexibility to dodge most of the attacks, some harpies were still unfortunately hit, especially those hit by corrosive bombs. Even if they were not in fatal positions, they would instantly rot all over the harpies. And die.

Of course, the harpy's casualties are also related to the harpy's order: "Catch him alive, don't kill him, try to use up his magic, so that he can be captured alive."

The reason why the Harpy issued such an order was entirely to let the Death Insect help her find a crystal mine. Once he has a crystal mine, he can exchange the mineral vein for credit, and all his previous mistakes will be written off, and Will also be promoted.

Of course, the harpy believes that the death of its subordinates is a price that should be paid. After all, compared with the crystal mine, the death of a few subordinates is nothing.

The battle lasted for more than an hour before the Death Insect's magic was exhausted. The other mutated beasts were also dead and injured, and had lost their fighting power. At this time, the Harpy took the weapon from her breast pocket. He took out a scroll and tore it open. A magic cage appeared next to the Death Insect and imprisoned it directly.

At this time, the Death Worm is exhausted and has no ability to resist at all. If he has a little magic value, just a simple lightning magic can split the cage open before it takes shape. This is why the Harpy is so late. The reason why the cage magic scroll was not released.

The battle was over, but the entire castle hall was in a mess. Broken corpses were mixed with blood, making the hall a hellish scene. This time, the cavemen lost more than fifty soldiers, which made the caveman leader heartbroken. , in fact, his bigger loss was those mutated beasts and death insects. His dream of changing the fate of his race was shattered all at once.
