Chapter 1202 Face to Face
After rushing into the main hall, the first thing that caught Lei Xiao's eyes was the dark red branches that were getting thicker and thicker, almost blocking out the sky and the sun.
I saw that these branches, which even a few people could not wrap around together, were extremely lush, criss-crossing like spider webs, and spread throughout every corner of the hall.
And what broke through the wall just now was indeed only an insignificant part.
The most shocking thing is that every branch is still expanding and spreading, growing at an extremely fast speed.
As far as the eye can see, there will be a scene of crazy growth of squirming and expansion, and no trace of the depth can be seen at all.
"Sir, I can feel that we are very close to our goal."
Bing Lao's solemn voice sounded, and he said sternly to Lei Xiao: "The 'root' and the opponent are in the deepest part of the hall! "
"Yes, I can feel it too."
Yoniel nodded heavily and said, "It's finally time to confront the mysterious existence head-on."
"It's time for that guy to pay the price for everything."
The gray old face was also full of solemnity, and the two swords in his hands were shining.
Seeing that everyone was boiling with fighting spirit, Lei Xiao refocused his attention on the front.
These dark red branches have reached an extremely dense level, squeezing and entangled with each other, apparently forming an airtight natural barrier.
"But how are we going to get there?"
Louise's fair face was full of eagerness and she couldn't help blurting out.
Hearing the sound, Hui Lao, Yoniel and others also looked at each other.
They just tried it on the way, and these branches were much stronger than ordinary roots. Even they couldn't cut them off. In other words, this barrier was undoubtedly insurmountable.
Jiang Li also frowned tightly, and she could clearly feel it.
Due to the continuous accumulation of a large number of strange energy fluctuations, the space in the area ahead has begun to distort.
This undoubtedly means that even the teleportation technique cannot reach the depths of the hall through the dark red branches.
"Leave it to the old man. After all, this forbidden tree has the characteristics of certain plants, and is also mixed with the disgusting forbidden power."
Bing Lao's old eyes narrowed slightly, and he said thoughtfully: "Then, with the purification effect of the power of the gods and the dispersion of ice, maybe there will be a miraculous effect."
Having said that, with Lei Xiao's approval, Bing Lao immediately began to use his magic.
After a short spell of chanting, a beam of cold ice rays instantly shot out from the magic array in front of Bing Lao, shooting straight towards the dense dark red branches in front.
Sure enough, just as Bing Lao said, wherever the ice rays hit, the dark red branches that were originally densely packed trembled, obviously being greatly stimulated.
After being frozen for a few seconds, these thick dark red branches bent out of the way like soft vines, and soon formed a road that was large enough for one person to pass.
For a moment, the road that shimmered with blood was hazy in the depths, and continued to exude a pungent smell. It was like a devil's bloody mouth, full of mystery and unknown, and daunting.
"Set off!"
Looking at the long and deep passage, Lei Xiao did not hesitate and led the team to fly towards it.
After Bing Lao opened the road, the group of people galloped along the deep passage. Wherever they passed, the dark red branches quickly returned to their original shape, blocking our retreat again.
After noticing this scene, everyone's faces showed no fluctuations, and they didn't care at all. Just like what Lei Xiao said, the group had no room to retreat.
As he moved forward, Lei Xiao felt that his breathing began to become more rapid.
The extremely strong fishy smell permeated the surroundings, and even with the energy shield blocking it, it was even to the point of irritating the eyes.
In addition, although these dark red branches and roots are the same, they all emit energy fluctuations with strange rhythms, which greatly affects the ability to perceive.
But Lei Xiao could still feel that at the end of the passage, there was a powerful and majestic momentum that he had never felt before, which was obviously a mysterious existence.
"Your Excellency, the end of the passage has arrived!"
As Bing Lao's solemn words fell, Lei Xiao and his group flew out of the passage, and their eyes suddenly opened up.
The view here is wide, and the criss-crossing dark red branches only spread near the walls, and piles of burned-out white candles are scattered on the ground.
At the end of the space, there is a towering platform with stairs, on which is a giant throne hidden in the shadows.
This is not the most striking thing.
Including half of the throne, the entire second half of the towering platform has been completely integrated into the giant cylindrical object filled with darkness and blood.
At first glance, it looks like it is embedded in the dark red cylindrical object.
It is not difficult to tell from the thick dark red branches extending from the dark red cylindrical object that it is the trunk of the forbidden tree.
Due to the limited space, although everyone could only see part of the tree trunk, it can be inferred from the partial part that it has obviously reached an extremely terrifying size. According to Lei Xiao's estimation, the entire tree trunk is probably at least 30 stories high. .
"Your Highness, this is the deepest part of the main prayer hall!"
Lorenz's old eyes were full of surprise and he spoke to Lei Xiao.
The bloody and dark scene in front of him obviously had a great impact on the old bishop's heart, which was very different from the sacred temple in his memory.
"Sir, the "root" is behind the throne!"
The stern voice of Bing Lao also reached Lei Xiao's ears.
"However, if you want to destroy the "root", you must first kill the source of evil. "
Yoniel held his staff horizontally, surrounded by a visible green energy barrier, and was obviously ready to go.
After saying that, the old alchemist narrowed his eyes and stared at the large throne half embedded in the giant tree trunk.
I saw a human figure sitting there diagonally, emitting a dangerous and strange dark aura.
The darkness was so deep that even if our guiding light ball approached, it would soon be swallowed by the darkness.
Although the other party was completely shrouded in shadows and his specific appearance could not be seen, it was obvious from the appearance that it was the mysterious existence that had appeared above the inner city.
"You are still shamelessly sitting on the throne of the master of the temple."
Looking at the figure that was once so familiar, Lorenz's old eyes were full of anger, and he said sternly: "Although you have occupied everything of His Majesty, the violent aura emanating from your body cannot be concealed. Who are you? !"
"Lorenz, the former chief of the cardinals and the guardian of the Temple of Light. "
A gloomy and dark voice sounded, and the mysterious existence's turbid dark red eyes moved and fell on the old bishop's skinny body.
The other party did not answer the old bishop's question, but joked: "Back then, I wanted to turn you into the first batch of nutrients, but the plan went too smoothly and the nutrients were endless, so I forgot about you, an old waste. Today, you can still jump in front of me."
"Even if I die, I will drag you down with me!"
Lorenz's body was also full of energy, and he gritted his teeth and said: "How can the reputation and dignity of the Temple of Light be trampled by a guy of unknown origin like you?"
"If you want to blame someone, blame your former master. It was Ganelon IX who woke me up in person!"
The mysterious existence began to laugh grimly, and said unscrupulously: "It is because of his stupidity that I can see the light of day again and implement this great sacred plan!"
"Stop talking to yourself there. "
Lei Xiao's calm voice interrupted the other party's laughter, and said lightly: "Because you will soon be reduced to ashes."
"Despicable alien, I didn't expect you to really come to me."
The mysterious existence cast a cold gaze on Lei Xiao, and said playfully: "But so what? You have also felt the power of this seat, right? Even if this seat has not yet absorbed nutrients, but with the blessing of the "Blood Dark Tree", you still can't compete with this seat. "
After that, a vast and majestic energy wave suddenly surged out from the mysterious existence, and instantly swept over our people.
For a moment, the vast power of hostility and murderous intent filled the world, and while people's hearts were trembling, it was almost difficult to stand firm.
"A sixth-level peak powerhouse? "
Feeling this majestic energy fluctuation, Joniel and Gray Old looked at each other in bewilderment.
Although both of them have entered the sixth level, they are only at the sixth level and one star, and it is difficult to improve any further.
In other words, every time a sixth-level strongman upgrades his star, it is a huge improvement for himself, and the difference in strength is by no means comparable to other levels.
Those with strengths higher than two stars can crush low-star people of the same level, and those with strengths higher than three stars can even compete with two low-star people of the same level. This shows that.
This means that the peak of the sixth level and the sixth level and one star are undoubtedly a world of difference, enough to deal with four sixth-level low-star strongmen at the same time.
As for Bing Lao, he also frowned.
At present, his strength is at the sixth level and two stars. Although he is one level higher than Joniel and Gray Old, he is just That's all.
In addition, after fighting all the way, most of the energy in our bodies has been consumed. Even with the blessing of various magic scrolls and the supplement of magic potions, it is difficult to recover in a short time, while the opponent is in a state of rest and is in full strength.
Under such a comparison of strength, even if he, Joniel and Gray Old work together, plus Diana, Louise and Lorenz, three half-step sixth-level strongmen, if everyone is in their prime, there is still a chance to fight, but now, there is absolutely no hope of defeating the opponent.
The most important thing is that Bing Lao can feel it.
Although the opponent has not yet officially absorbed nutrients, it has been connected to the so-called "Blood Dark Tree" to a certain extent, and can directly replenish energy through the latter, and is always in a state of energy.
In other words, even if we use a round-robin battle, we must not let the opponent weaken in the slightest.
Seeing the three sixth-level masters all showing an uncontrollable solemnity, the other masters including Lei Xiao, although they could not directly feel the difference in strength between themselves and the other side, they also realized that this would be an arduous battle.
"You are just a group of ants at the end of their strength. Do you know the difference in strength between you and me?"
The mysterious existence's cold voice sounded again, shaking everyone's ears, sneering: "You must die today, no one can stop me from returning to the peak state!"
"Whether you are an opponent or not, we will know after the fight!"
Louise's eyebrows were raised, and she immediately summoned a row of shining guiding light balls, which shot straight at the other party.
Louise showed her fangs and snorted, "You have been playing tricks from the beginning. Let me see your true face first!"
After that, the whole row of guiding light balls suddenly shone brightly and quickly enveloped the other party.
Seeing this, Joniel and Lorenz also shot out rows of guiding light balls to help Louise illuminate.
The other party is already very powerful. If they continue to hide in a shadow, it will be extremely disadvantageous to us.
With the joint efforts of the three, the dazzling light finally dispelled the deep darkness, revealing the true face of the mysterious existence in front of everyone.
On the shining golden throne, a pale young man sat lazily, although at first glance, he was wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, like a gentle young scholar.
But if you look closely, you can see that his cloudy eyes are emitting a deep dark red, and his mouth is also grinning in a strange arc, revealing a row of white teeth, which looks extremely dangerous.
Lei Xiao is not unfamiliar with the other party's appearance, which is exactly the same as Ganelon IX in the magic portrait.
Except for the appearance, the temperament and form are very different, which also confirms the words of Xiao Jie and Lorenz from the side. The other party is just wearing the appearance of Ganelon IX.
The old bishop who also saw this scene was full of grief and anger, and clenched his old fists tightly.
The wise and kind master of the temple has been completely replaced. How can this not make him sad?
After the magic light ball dispelled the darkness around him, the face of the mysterious existence suddenly became hideous, and it was obviously in a state of rage.
I saw that blood-colored black mist suddenly rose around him, and the majestic breath that was so cold that it was outrageous was stirred up.
"How dare you, a tiny ant, look directly at the gods?"
Accompanied by a sharp and sinister roar, the opponent rushed out and attacked us directly.
The constant surge of hostility and murderous intent was enough to throw dozens of legions into chaos in an instant.
"God?!"
Hearing this extremely special word, whether it was Lei Xiao, Bing Lao or other powerful men on our side, they were all surprised.
And at this moment, the opponent with a monstrous murderous intent was already close to us.
