Chapter 85 The Cage of Hate
In the evening, Lao Meng arrived with his undead army.
The number of the entire undead army is about 800, of which two-thirds are composed of skeleton mages and strengthened zombies. The remaining third is relatively diverse. There are dark skeletons that Shen Yi has seen, and there are bloody, fat and bloated zombies that he has never seen before, as if they were made of pieces of minced meat, and they are still bleeding. There are also some strange ghosts floating in the air.
These ghosts floated back and forth in the air, and from time to time they let out shrill female laughter, crying like crying, which made one's scalp tingle in the desolate and quiet night wilderness.
Seeing this scene, Zongtang and Ambera looked at each other in awe.
Who would have thought that Lao Meng could create such a huge and astonishing army in just over twenty days?
Zongtang blurted out, "Isn't that undead creation scroll too powerful?"
Shen Yi murmured: "This is not the power brought by the scroll, but the power brought by madness."
"Madmen are not necessarily geniuses, but geniuses are often lunatics." This sentence has been best interpreted by Lao Meng.
Whether it's Shen Yi or Lao Meng, they all have a certain kind of strong madness factor in their bones, but it acts on different levels.
Shen Yi's madness lies in the fact that he always likes to challenge those superior beings and enjoys doing the impossible; Lao Meng's madness lies in that he can completely sell everything about himself, including conscience, appearance, Even the human body.
Shen Yi can live life meaninglessly, but he can't make himself human and ghost. Lao Meng would rather make himself a lich, but also make himself strong and survive.
They are identical in madness and diametrically opposite in choice.
Now standing at the forefront of the line is Lao Meng wearing a black hood. When he lifted the hood to reveal his ghostly face, his image shocked Zongtang Ambera and others. .
Compared with sixteen days ago, Lao Meng's appearance has changed again.
The last time I saw him, Lao Meng at least still maintained his human appearance, but now he has become skinny, all the flesh on his face has disappeared, it looks like human skin wrapped around a skull, and he looks extremely weird.
His eyeballs are no longer white, but glowing green like a ghostly fire, like a wolf in the middle of the night, full of evil aura.
"I hope I didn't frighten you... the two captains." Lao Menggan chuckled with a hoarse voice, his voice was as sharp as iron rubbing, and it was indescribably harsh. When he spoke, everyone could even clearly see his mandible opening and closing, forcing out each word abruptly.
"Damn it, why did you make yourself look like this." Zong Tang blurted out.
"Being strong always comes at a price." Lao Meng replied indifferently.
"If you continue like this, you will really become a skeleton." Shen Yi said.
"Isn't that better." Old Meng Youyou replied: "There is no pain, no fatigue, and the negative emotions of human beings will no longer affect me."
Gentle and coldly said: "Those beautiful things are also far away from you, and life has thus become a stagnant pool."
Lao Meng retorted: "For adventurers, we have no life, or the only meaning of life is to fight."
"Enough!" Shen Yi interrupted: "I don't want to discuss this anymore, everyone has their own choice."
"If he's still human." Gentle snorted coldly, turned her head and left.
Shen Yi spread out his hands: "Sorry, that's how she is."
"It doesn't matter, I know she cares about me, and I can tell the difference between good and bad." Lao Meng said with a smile: "Then from now on, we will cooperate again. When are you going to attack the cage of hatred?"
"Rest for one night first, and make an official move tomorrow morning...Although you don't look like you need to rest."
Lao Meng spread his thin hands: "I noticed that there is a big new grave over there, and there should be many corpses in it... Do you need me to help you stand up your summoned soldiers again?"
"Don't even think about it.
"Shen Yi replied.
Lao Meng giggled again, walked past Shen Yi, and slipped a bottle of potion into Shen Yi's palm.
A low voice came into his ears: "20,000 points, a little expensive, but I believe you will accept it, cash is required... If you don't have money, you can also use equipment."
Physique Potion: Use normally, permanently increase constitution by 20 points after use. Inspire the use, increase the physical fitness by 60 points after use, only limited to the world of this mission.
—————————————
The night is as cool as water.
Most people are asleep.
Only Shen Yi, Hong Lang, King Kong, Ivy and the others are still together, and there is also Lyle, a summoned soldier. As for Ivy - she has now officially become a temporary member of the Broken Blade team.
With a flash of brilliance, the bloody emblem sounded:
"You have used a C-level skill improvement scroll, and your skill critical strike has been upgraded to C-level: launch a full attack on the enemy, and after hitting the opponent, it will cause damage equal to the skill level multiplied by 5, and it will produce a 100% stun effect for 2-7 seconds , The stun time is determined according to the skill level, target level and target will. Skill effect priority is 48."
"You have used the conversion token, and the heavy attack has been converted from a melee stun technique to a long-range stun technique. The effect remains the same, and the range of effect is 100 meters."
"Try to hit me." Shen Yi ordered, and stepped back twenty meters away.
King Kong punched Shen Yiyao, the punch was in the air, but Shen Yi's body was shaken, and he fell into a state of dizziness, his eyes were dazzled, and he almost lost the ability to move. King Kong flew up, Shen Yi barely turned his head, dodging his blow to the head, but he was kicked in the chest and flew up.
After falling on the ground and rolling a few times, Shen Yi slowly got up: "Four seconds of dizziness, if it is used to deal with Diablo, half a second would be a great fortune."
King Kong sighed: "If you want to stun an existence like Diablo, you must at least have double A-level skills."
"Fortunately, I didn't expect this." Shen Yi said as he threw the bottle of constitution potion to Hong Lang: "Inspire to use it."
Hong Lang hesitated: "What about 20,000 yuan, just consume it all at once?"
"Use it, we don't have a choice."
Hong Lang sighed and used up the bottle of constitution potion. His constitution rose to 102 and his vitality reached 1224.
"What do you use to pay the bill?" King Kong asked.
"The boots against the wind, I have to think about other things." Shen Yi had a headache. Lao Meng was very cautious, knowing that Shen Yi and the others were going to kill Diablo, he would never accept payment afterwards.
"I still have a fighting specialization scroll here." Ivy took it out and handed it to Shen Yi.
Shen Yi looked at Ivy in surprise, and Ivy shrugged: "Do your best."
After thinking for a while, Shen Yi accepted it bluntly, and threw it to Rourou: "Counting your cotton armor, it should be enough, send it to Lao Meng. By the way, take the extra rocket launcher and Give him the boots of agility, too, on the condition that after the battle of the Hate Cage, he gives us the remaining undead creatures. He will agree, and he can't bring it back to the city anyway. By the way, there is also the fire amulet Come over too."
In order to win Diablo, Shen Yi has already used all the capital he can use, it can be said that he has put all his eggs in one basket. As for the remaining C-level skill scroll, Shen Yi used it for his skill plunder.
"Skill plunder, upgraded from D-level to double-D level."
"Use the plundering skill on the specified target to obtain equipment and other items. You can use two plundering per target per mission world. To use the skill in close quarters, the target's health must be lower than 10% before use, and the skill priority 25. This skill is a special skill, and the success rate depends on the skill level, the opponent's level, will, the priority authority for special skills and the remaining life of the opponent. When this skill is used on a dead target, the success rate of looting is doubled. Time limit , within three seconds after death."
After finishing this matter, Shen Yi took out the explosives from the coat of arms and handed them to Lyle: "This is the last explosive I have left here."
Lyle looked at it and replied, "Not enough, sir."
"I don't need a devastating explosion..." Shen Yi smiled and said: "I just need this explosion to keep the people I want to keep, understand? Lyle."
Lyle quickly gave a military salute: "I see, sir!"
Watching Lyle's leaving back, King Kong asked, "How sure are you?"
Shen Yi thought for a while and replied: "If Diablo's abilities are all as demonstrated by Beria, then my plan is 70% sure. But if he has abilities that Beria can't imitate, or haven't used ability, the probability of success will decrease with the increase of accidents. How sure you are depends on how many accidents there are.”
"So...do you think she will help us?" King Kong finally asked after hesitating for a while.
Of course Shen Yi knew who he was referring to.
He replied sternly: "This matter must be done without her intervention, otherwise it will be meaningless."
—————————————
The next morning, everyone was ready for action.
The location of the Hate Cage is not far away - the entrance is just below Trevank Fortress, as long as you complete the task of Trevank Fortress, you can enter.
For the sake of safety, Lao Meng first sent two dark banshees to scout the way ahead.
He proudly said:
"Although the vitality of the dark banshee is not high, only 220 points, but they have the ability to fly freely, and the speed is very fast. The most rare thing is that they have 80% immunity to normal damage, only elemental damage can really hit them hard .They have three abilities, one is banshee wail, which is group attack damage, the damage is 20 points, ignoring defense. The second is soul attack, which causes 60 points of spiritual damage to individual targets. The last is the ability of elemental self-destruct , when it explodes, it will cause 100 points of area damage. With my dark banshee alone, Shen Yi, you are no longer my opponent."
For Lao Meng's provocative words, Shen Yi just smiled: "The stronger they are, the happier I will be."
Lao Meng's provocation was like a punch in the air, without the joy of victory.
Walking down the long stone steps, the deeper you go, the darker it becomes.
Undead creatures all have the characteristic of ignoring darkness, but it is not good for adventurers. An adventurer walking in the front lit a torch, and by the light of the fire, one could see that this was a vast underground space.
You can vaguely see the tall dome, and every other section of the road is a room separated by iron fences, and you can hear the shrill howling in the distance. It is said to be a cage here, but in fact, like the Temple of Death, it is simply a huge underground labyrinth.
After walking a little further, I saw the torches between the two walls, and the faint light shone around, making the place even more gloomy and gloomy. If you are timid, just walking in this atmosphere will scare you to death.
Lao Meng's undead creatures rushed forward first, advancing from various intersections. They swarmed densely in this dark dungeon, like a large number of ants rushing towards the food to be devoured.
Soon there was the sound of fighting ahead.
The flames diffused and danced in the underground palace, mixed with the roar of thunder, the whistling of sharp wind, the whistling of ice and snow, and gusts of dark wind.
The Hate Cage was originally a huge labyrinth. You have to go through many traps along the way. There are hidden monster killers everywhere. At the same time, it is difficult to distinguish the path and direction.
However, all of this lost its effect before the huge legion attack. The mechanism traps are induced by undead creatures that are used as cannon fodder. Once the hidden monster killers appear, they will be violently killed by the adventurers mixed in. The complex labyrinth roads couldn't stand the multitude of wolves. Every road and intersection was occupied by an army of undead creatures, and a complete road map was drawn under the action of the electronic bees.
Shen Yi and the others walked through the first floor of the maze almost unimpeded all the way, and there were corpses everywhere. Although the smoke of the battle was fierce, compared to the fierce fight that was once surrounded by heavy siege, this should have been the most difficult sixth mission, but instead it became the easiest mission.
One of the most important reasons for this is that Lao Meng really used undead creatures as cannon fodder, but Shen Yi absolutely could not do so, because the role of cannon fodder in summoning soldiers could not be fully exerted, instead he was delayed in the battle. , only six people from Cuifanke Fortress died in battle.
After all, for Lao Meng, the army of undead creatures he made could not be brought back to the city, so he didn't feel sorry for the loss.
Of course, another important reason is that the final boss of the sixth mission is Azmodan, the Lord of Sin, the leader of the four demon kings of hell. This means that this guy's strength will far exceed the leader in the previous missions.
The embodiment of combat difficulty has once again changed from legion-style difficulty to boss-style difficulty.
From this point of view, Azmodan will undoubtedly be a terrifying opponent they have never seen before.
When all the adventurers hoped that Azmodan would not be as powerful as in the legend, it was Shen Yi Honglang and others who prayed in their hearts that the stronger the strength of Azmodan, the better—the stronger its strength, the better. Stronger, the greater the chances of success in killing Diablo.
From this point, we can see the peculiarity of human nature - when egoism develops to the extreme, its external manifestations are extremely abnormal, and give birth to all kinds of unreasonable things in the eyes of others.
Thirty minutes later, the two floors of the Hate Cage were completely wiped out. For safety's sake, Shen Yi left his soldiers on the second floor, and everyone marched towards the third floor of the Hate Cage.
Entering the third floor, the eyes are no longer an underground labyrinth with intricate roads, but a spacious hall, which looks more like a temple for sacrifices. The hall is divided into upper and lower floors. There are doors on both sides of the hall on the first floor, which should be the passage leading to other parts of the maze. On the second floor, there are forts like Cuifanke Fortress. There are several golems in each fort.
In the center of the deepest part of the hall stands a tall golem.
The golem is about three feet high and is sitting in the center of the hall. The body is slightly bent forward, the face is facing down, the lower jaw is supported by the left arm, in a state of thinking, and the giant sword is held in the right hand and inserted straight into the ground.
The golem was fully armored, and a large flag was planted behind it. The flag was shrouded in black air, and a door loomed, and a fire burst out of the door.
The whole golem is majestic, tall and mighty, making it daunting.
The moment the adventurer rushed into the hall, the golem actually moved.
It slowly raised its head, and a thick and majestic voice echoed around the hall:
"Who... disturbed my deep sleep?!"
