Chapter 709 Lighting the Way Ahead (3)
After breaking into the second floor of the dungeon, he found that the whole place was covered by the spreading flesh and blood. Before others could react, Lance had already started a sacrifice to the flesh and blood.
If successful, the entire dungeon would become his nutrients, and he would steal all the pension in the ancestor's passbook at once.
But unfortunately, the sacrifice failed.
To be honest, Lance was not surprised, but this means that these deformed flesh and blood that can be seen everywhere have resistance consciousness, they are alive.
But the next second he made a very strange move, raised his hand and a little black flame emerged in an instant, just covering the arm with the burned clothes, and then inserted into the flesh and blood.
When both sides came into contact with the flesh and blood, they began to react and wanted to resist, but Lance was faster, and pulled a piece of flesh and blood off the stone pillar with all his strength.
How could the flesh and blood withstand such a brutal force? The torn gap started from the mouth full of fangs. Half of it remained on the stone pillar and twitched, and the other half, along with a large piece of flesh and blood, fell into Lance's hand.
That thing still wanted to parasitize on Lance's arm, waving its growing tentacles and blood vessels. Unfortunately, the black armor prevented the disgusting climbing. It only took a little force to crush the core, causing its movements to stop and the tentacles to droop.
Then the void swallowed it, and at this moment Lance understood something.
The dungeon was a huge steak, and it was impossible for him to eat it in one bite. He had to keep cutting it into small bites and swallowing it.
But this was only the second floor. How much flesh and blood was in it? If such a small knife was used to cut the meat, I didn't know when it would be cut. It was better to complete the task first.
"Get to work, destroy the ritual first."
After all, after the previous psychological preparation, Baldwin and others quickly adapted to the environment of the second floor.
The main reason was that Lance was too calm, and his leisurely attitude gave everyone confidence.
The complexity of the second floor was greater than that of the first floor, but Lance never cared. He had to sweep it anyway.
Soon they encountered the monster wandering in it.
Two cult priests and one ecstatic cultist.
"Baldwin is responsible for one, Balin and Junia are responsible for one, and the rest are to kill the cultists."
Lance did not charge directly, just to give them a practice, and took out the conch to encourage them.
When the grand conch sounded, everyone felt the blood in their hearts surge, and forgot the fear for a while.
Baldwin was not entangled in the pain now, and with the blessing of the equipment, the legendary power was displayed in the figure that rushed forward quickly.
The moment he approached, the broad-bladed broken sword was already swung in Baldwin's hand. The rapid speed brought a very strong sense of power, which even the priest could not bear.
Fortunately, the priest was also a melee system and very fast. Under the impetus of countless eyeballs, he caught this moment at the last moment, and the flesh and blood that reacted and squirmed on his body was not split in half, but the shoulder position and the tentacles had been cut off, and the tangled flesh and bones could be seen.
The cult priest also felt the pressure, and did not care about the injury and directly used the ultimate move. The sharp blade of the spine was pushed by the flesh and blood all over the body and shot towards Baldwin.
But this move had been explained on the way. Although the distance was very close, how could Baldwin not be prepared?
He did not retreat half a step, turned sideways and raised his hand to raise the sword. The spine brushed against the sword and burst out with a crisp sound, but that was it, and no damage was caused at all.
But don't forget the priest's tentacles, waving at Baldwin.
If it was two tentacles attacking from both sides, even Baldwin would find it difficult to dodge, but the fact that one arm was cut off just now had laid the groundwork, and at this time, it made a gap in its attack. Just move one step and land on the side of the priest and you can easily dodge it.
But just after the spine was shot out, the flesh and blood reaction would take time even if it was fast, and this gave Baldwin an opportunity.
I don't know if the priest can dodge the sword that Baldwin adjusted his position and took the opportunity to slash, but it was over without any accidents.
The broken sword slashed the priest, and half of his body, including the spine, was cut open with an exaggerated wound.
That is, the broken sword, if it was intact, it would probably be cut in two.
But the gap in the waist was too big, and the priest fell down without control. Although he was not completely dead, he was almost dead.
There were no fancy skills, props or spells, just swinging the sword.
However, such a simple battle was decided by swinging two swords, with the priest injured as the result.
Lance originally knew that Baldwin was very strong, but now there is a clear reference.
However, the power of the battle on the other side also attracted his attention.
After receiving the order, Balin rushed towards the cult priest without hesitation, and before he could get close, Junia had already raised the torch, and flames suddenly burst out from it, turning into a lightning and slashing down on his head.
Lance could catch it, but it didn't mean that the priest could, and it didn't even have time to react. When the fierce sacred power was poured into the body, even the flesh transformed by the great blessing could not bear it, and the whole body was out of control and stunned.
Balin also seized this opportunity and rushed forward to swing the axe with all his strength. With the help of brute force, the heavy weapon actually split it in half with one move.
A devastating blow!
Compared to such a strong attack, Lance felt that Junia was different. She was promoted to the champion!
Yes, the power that just burst out was very obvious. It seems that she also snatched some power from the saint.
No wonder the sacrifice just now was not spiritual, now he understands.
The two priests were killed, and the remaining ecstatic cultist who did not resist was just a dead soul under the sword of the personal guard. It can be said that the battle was too easy, and there was no blank space as Lance said. The pressure that had accumulated was inexplicably reduced.
Confidence surged like a tide when the enemy collapsed!
Lance just smiled and urged: "Let's crush these monsters!"
Seizing the opportunity, with Lance as the backing, a group of heroes can wield their weapons without scruples.
Those cultists are indeed terrible, but the current team configuration is much stronger than the last time.
Amanda played as an auxiliary, Audrey was slacking off, and only Lance and Boudica were in the front.
And now? They are all ruthless people, just pick up weapons and do it.
Encounter an ascended witch who wants to cast a spell? Junia is filled with sacred power, and under the blessing of the iron torch, it will become the fuel of the holy flame!
Naturally, there will be all kinds of accidents in battle. Lance will hide behind to add status, reduce pressure, add blood, and take out heavy crossbows or hand cannons to attack the back row.
But in fact, he spends most of his time constantly collecting the flesh and blood along the way. This is his real task. Even if it is just a little weakened, as long as it is accumulated, it will be very considerable.
Where does Lance get so much spirituality to bless and strengthen them? It is to eat the pension saved by the ancestors.
Eat it hard, it will be a waste if you don’t eat it.
Until walking into a room, Lance shouted immediately, "Those without amulets, leave!"
Among the guards, only Balin has one. Although the remaining four are unwilling, they are also aware of the danger under the order of the lord, so they can only turn around and leave the room.
The only thing that can make Lance react like this is the monster guarding the altar on the second floor.
The guardian of the temple!
It can be seen that the monster is exaggerated and weird. The transformation of the great blessing makes it look like a scorpion with a human body.
The upper body still retains the strong muscles similar to those of the ascended priest, as well as the dark gold skull helmet on the head.
The forearms of both hands began to mutate into two dark-colored large pincers, which were even more terrifying than the giant pincers Tide Raiders that Lance had seen, because they were covered with dense black eyeballs that kept blinking.
The lower half could no longer be seen, it was completely a mass of deformed flesh and blood, but strangely, it lacked the tentacles, sharp mouth and eyeballs. Could this prove that its transformation was controllable?
The original abdomen had lost its muscle shape, but it could still be vaguely seen that there was a huge closed eye in the middle.
Further down, two pairs of sharp limbs like scorpions grew out, and the mass of flesh and blood extended back to form a scorpion's tail, but it was covered with a layer of armor like a shell.
The tip of the tail was slightly swollen, and a spike emitting dark green fluorescence grew out, revealing an obvious evil breath, and no one wanted to sting it.
However, the strangeness of the guardian could still be seen as a combination of human and scorpion, and the two monsters floating behind it were hard to describe.
It was like a mass of strange tumors the size of an adult's torso, with two membranes flapping behind it and floating in the air.
There were no facial features such as eyes on the front, only a deformed big mouth with three forks, full of jagged fangs.
What was even more bizarre was that the mouth was separated from the top and bottom when it opened, that is, the bottom circle was full of fangs, and the flesh in the middle was connected like a lantern.
Polyp!
Lance didn't know what this thing had to do with polyps, but he popped up the moment he saw it.
Lance and the others didn't have much time at all, and the battle started the moment they stepped in.
The guardian of the temple opened his claws towards Lance and others, and of course the huge eyes slowly opened in his lower abdomen.
Revelation!
Balin's body was the most threatening, so he was chosen by the guardian. The indescribable terrifying aura locked on him and descended instantly, and he didn't even have time to react.
Balin instantly felt that he fell into the void, and a strange purple-black eye kept enlarging in his mind. The more he spied on those details, the more his brain seemed to explode.
"Ah!"
Fortunately, the burning amulet worked, and a force protected Balin's soul, but even so, he could still be heard wailing.
But he soon shook his head and woke up, but the impact was still somewhat there.
"Balin and Baldwin, you two entangle the temple guardian, and Junia and I will quickly deal with the two polyps and come to help you."
Lance shouted and rushed up, and this shout also woke up Baldwin and Junia.
Lance ran over first and startled them. Those polyps actually made a move that normal people could not understand. It was not the weird mouth that launched the attack, but the flesh on the forehead that actually split open and squeezed out a green poison sac like a brain, squeezing and spitting out a mouthful of pale green thick liquid.
Poisonous phlegm!
But Lance's attention was not distracted, and he easily dodged it with his reaction speed. The poisonous phlegm fell on the ground and directly dissolved a ball of flesh attached to the ground. You can imagine how terrible it would be if it fell on a person.
You know, what Lance can't stand the most is this kind of disgusting thing, so he immediately raised his hand and shot it.
Accurate shooting!
The bullet instantly hit the head of the polyp, and the poison sac that didn't have time to retract was directly exploded. You can imagine what a sharpshooter is.
The pale green venom exploded and almost covered itself. Unexpectedly, the polyp itself was also corroded.
Bahrain and Baldwin had already set off, and at the same time, Junia raised her hand and summoned a lightning bolt.
Judgment!
The hot lightning bolt filled with divine power struck the polyp, which was still flying, but instantly overheated and fell directly to the ground, and even white smoke like burning could be seen.
"Switch one!"
Lance shouted, and raised his hand to sacrifice the fallen polyp. If it was possible, he really didn't want to get close to that thing, let alone touch it.
Void Devouring erased the traces of the polyp's existence, and Junia's next lightning bolt also killed the one that was crippled by Lance.
It looked too strong, and those polyps didn't even have time to show their strength, and they were killed after spitting saliva.
But the other side was not so simple. The guardian of the temple wielded his double pincers and poison needles and fought with Balin and Baldwin.
The giant pincers, the axe and the broken sword were not at a disadvantage in the head-on collision. They even had to be careful not to be caught by the pincers, otherwise the needle would pierce them.
Lance observed for a while and rushed up, but he did not intend to go to the front, but went around and gave a command at the same time.
"Junia, interfere with it!"
Along with the shout, Junia raised a torch, and the flames rose in it, turning into a beam of light. The temple guardian raised a large pincer to block the beam of light, but Lance had already rushed up and took advantage of the situation to swing out the wolf fang.
Tail cut!
An arc of light suddenly appeared, and the temple guardian's tail, which was as thick as a waist, was directly broken, and a large section of the tail fell off. It can be seen that the flesh and blood on the cut was not torn, but a completely broken plane under the blade.
┗|`O′|┛Ah~~
Even the temple guardian couldn't help but let out a wail, abandoning the enemy in front, and swung the pincers towards Lance.
Lance didn't confront the guardian head-on. He turned with it when it turned. After losing the stinger in its tail, its back was defenseless, and it was forced to circle around Lance.
But the other two were not decorations, how could they let go of this flaw?
Balin roared, mobilized all his strength and chopped with an axe, which landed right on the scorpion that turned and left.
Wherever the axe passed, the carapace was broken, blood and flesh were blurred, as if it was bitten by some steel beast, causing exaggerated wounds.
At the same time, Baldwin also swung his sword, and the wide blade swept past, but unfortunately the guardian had reacted and clamped the broken sword with a giant pincer. (End of this chapter)
