Chapter 477 The Lingering Haze!
The sound of flapping wings became more and more dense and mixed.
Everyone was on high alert, knowing that the deputy captain's worries had come true. There were indeed monsters living in the abyss.
After being stimulated, some creatures living in the dark would choose to retreat, while others would enter a violent state.
They were probably encountering the latter now.
The leading deputy captain raised his hand again and used the lighting technique.
And the illuminated range was limited to within a radius of 300 meters, ensuring that everyone's vision was not affected, but also not stimulating the monsters in deeper depths.
At this time, a black shadow broke into the light, and everyone saw clearly what was flapping its wings.
It turned out to be a head the size of a watermelon, with ears as big as a palm leaf fan, flapping continuously at a frequency of thousands of times per minute!
Everyone's expression froze, including Su Chen and Xiao Ningxue, were shocked by the appearance of this monster.
Originally, they thought it would be a vampire bat-like existence, but now it seems that they were too naive.
Sure enough! There can't be anything normal in a place that has something to do with the devil and the evil cult of Mahakala!
"Get ready for battle!"
The leading deputy captain said in a low voice. Everyone calmly cast buff spells on themselves after hearing this.
The flying head monster tried to sprint to everyone and attack them at a speed close to the speed of sound, but it exploded with a bang just when it was close to 150 meters.
In the team, there was an eighth-stage strongman who put down his hand. It was he who tried to test the strength of the monster.
He said in a relaxed tone: "The speed is about the level of the third or fourth stage, and the physical fitness has reached the hardness of the fifth stage."
"There is nothing special about it. At most, it looks scary."
Everyone heard this, but they didn't relax.
The reason is simple...
As the sound of flapping wings got closer and closer, a large area of darkness submerged the light!
At first glance, it seemed that the darkness had come alive and actively devoured the light.
After a closer look, it turned out that a large number of flying head monsters were crowded together and flew up from the abyss.
Due to the large number and high density, it looked like a whole piece of darkness.
"Welcome to the impact!"
The leading deputy captain roared, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.
Invisibly, blades swarmed down, and dozens of flying head monsters were cut in half in a neat and uniform manner.
The strength of the ninth-level strong man was fully demonstrated at this moment, but this was far from enough!
It was just a few dozen flying head monsters, which was simply a drop in the bucket, and could not even slow down the speed at which the large piece of darkness swallowed the light!
Everyone stopped waiting, and the Eight Immortals showed their magical powers, taking out various long-range attack methods to slaughter the flying head monsters.
In an instant, it was as if the whole darkness was illuminated, flames, ice spikes, flying swords, knife lights...
The various long-range attack methods looked colorful, but in fact they were extremely deadly.
In less than half a breath, nearly a thousand flying head monsters lost their breath of life.
Su Chen also put in some effort, spitting out the golden energy, strangling hundreds of flying head monsters.
It's not that he doesn't know how to save energy, but Xiao Ningxue needs to save her energy to deal with more dangerous situations, so Su Chen has to use this energy.
Otherwise, his teammates will have some opinions.
After all, everyone is here to play for their lives. It's a bit inappropriate for you to slack off and take care of beautiful women, right?
There are a lot of flying head monsters, estimated to be no less than 10,000, but they can't stand such a killing.
After a few breaths, five or six thousand flying head monsters turned into corpses and fell straight into the abyss.
The remaining flying head monsters finally calmed down, with panic in their eyes, and scattered around.
Maybe they have the innate ability to hide in the soil, or the surrounding rock walls are hidden.
Not long after, all the flying head monsters disappeared, and the abyss returned to its original appearance.
Deep, dark, and quiet.
It was as if the fierce battles that had taken place before, or the one-sided massacre, had never existed!
Only the thick, almost indissoluble smell of blood left in the air reminded everyone that everything that had happened before was not a dream!
"You see, these monsters were not born like this."
At this time, a team member held the dismembered monster in his hand and said to everyone with a solemn face:
"This should be some kind of parasitic monster. When it is young, it will parasitize on the corpses of other creatures. When it grows up, it will mainly feed on corpses and become suitable for hunting."
"The reason why these monsters look like human heads is because they parasitized human heads when they were young."
Everyone looked at it and it was indeed consistent with what the team member said.
After the human-headed monster was dissected, the structure inside was very complex, but it can be seen that there are traces of acquired fusion and adaptation.
It just shows that these human-headed monsters should not have looked like this at first. They were adapted to it and eventually became this horrifying appearance.
And this also means that in this abyss, there is a place with many dead people.
Not one or two, not ten or a hundred, but tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands or millions!
After all, there are tens of thousands of these flying head monsters in front of everyone!
It is almost certain that these flying head monsters are at most a part of the monster group, not all of them.
It is conceivable how many corpses are needed to meet their needs...
Everyone looked at each other, and now they were sure that the existence of the abyss cave had little to do with the Mahakala religion.
The reason was simple.
"The Mahakala religion has not existed for a long time."
The leading deputy captain frowned and said, "According to relevant intelligence, their first documented mission was thirty years ago."
"Since then, the scale of the Mahakala religion has remained at a moderate level, which is why it has not attracted the attention of all parties."
"Until some time ago..."
The Mahakala religion broke out completely.
These nobles who were high above discovered that this small evil cult that they did not take seriously actually possessed such terrifying energy.
"In any case, they have existed for at most a few decades."
"A few decades is not enough for them to dig out such a large abyss, let alone kill hundreds of thousands of people and throw them into the abyss to raise monsters without being known by anyone."
Obviously, the trajectory of the Mahakala religion does not match the abyss.
The abyss may have existed before the Mahakala religion, or even before the establishment of Xuande City.
Why are there so many dead people here? What is the purpose of this abyss? How big is it?
Questions shrouded everyone's mind, turning into a lingering haze.
