Chapter 1259 The Killing Angel in the Swamp
"So, we are going to catch up with the Horn of Destruction?"
Tiger King licked his canine teeth, eager to try.
As an inborn top predator, he could of course judge the approximate time of the Lion King's son's death by the degree of decay of the corpse.
Judging from the stiffness of the flesh and the faint smell emanating from the internal organs, this guy will not die for more than half a day, and the time to be buried in the soil will only be shorter.
This shows that there is probably only half an hour's distance between them and the Lion King's exploration team.
As long as they speed up their horses, they will be able to get around in front of the Lion King in minutes.
And the lion king is suffering from the pain of losing his son, and his mental state must be very unstable.
This is the best chance to kill him!
"Jackal" Kanus showed embarrassment.
"Any questions?"
The Tiger King frowned, his needle-like beard curled up and down.
"Yes, there is a small problem."
"Jackal" Kanus bypassed the ancient tree and pointed to the dense forest road ahead, "There are two roads ahead, and there is a space node at the end of the road, which can help us jump to the next correct path.
"If my guess is correct, the Lion King should have taken the path to the left, and was teleported away when the space changed last time."
"Then we will catch up immediately."
Tiger King said, "When the space changes next time, can't we catch up with them and grab the Lion King's tail?"
"It's not that simple."
"Jackal" Kanus bit the bullet and explained, "There are a total of nine changes in the spatial form in the depths of the holy mountain. After many nodes are matched with each other, nine changes are needed. After a cycle, they can be matched again.
"That is to say, if we take the path on the left and go to the space node where the Lion King just stood, after the next space change, we will only be teleported to the wrong path, getting farther and farther away from the Lion King.
"Unless we are patient and wait for the nine changes under this ancient tree to appear once - the space here is still very stable, otherwise this ancient tree will not grow so large and lush.
"But in this way, it is very likely that one or two days will be wasted..."
These words made Tiger King's face darken.
His killing intent slowly squeezed the surrounding air, making everyone including "Jackal" Kanus feel as if they were embedded in a rock, and it was difficult to breathe.
"So, what about the road on the right?"
Fortunately, the bizarre scene around him seemed to make Tiger King understand that this is not a place where all problems can be solved by relying on violent and unparalleled brute force.
He asked coldly, expressionless.
"The road on the right can lead to another space node, and after three consecutive space changes, it coincides with the advance route of the Lion King. In fact, this is the main advance route of the Holy Light Army three thousand years ago."
"Jackal" Kanus hesitated for a moment, glanced at Tiger King's cloud-covered face, and found that his expression hadn't changed much, so he continued, "But, because of this, the route on the right is It became the main battlefield where the army of the Holy Light 3,000 years ago and the guards of the Holy Mountain of Turan fought fiercely.
"On the ruins of this ancient battlefield, fragmented fel puppets can be seen everywhere. They may not have been completely destroyed by the Turan warriors three thousand years ago, and they are very likely to be in a dormant state. The power of the totem permeated from the depths of the holy mountain was collected drop by drop, and transformed into the evil energy known as 'Holy Light'.
"If we take a shortcut from the right, we have to pass through the ruins of the ancient battlefield and the remains of countless fel puppets. With so many of us, it will be troublesome if we wake up the fel puppets.
"You know, the last time we went deep into the holy mountain, we explored the road on the right, but we accidentally awakened three evil puppets. As a result, seventeen experienced temple explorers died. Seventeen!"
Tiger King nodded.
"Have you finished?" He stared at the wolf king.
"Jackal" Kanus was momentarily at a loss for words.
"After finishing speaking, lead the way quickly. Let's go to the right. We must stop and kill him before the Horn of Destruction finds the gate of the Holy Mountain Temple!"
"But……"
"There is no 'but', you cowardly corpse dog, if you are afraid of the broken puppet wreckage three thousand years ago, when the battle of glory is at its fiercest, Turan's army rushes into the Holy Light What should you do if you encounter a fel puppet that has just fallen from the sky and is intact? If this is the case, you might as well die here directly, so as not to go to the Land of Holy Light, where the Turan warriors died face!" =
The tiger king's saliva hit the wolf king's face like a red-hot steel nail.
The wolf king's Adam's apple rolled up and down a few times, and he didn't dare to make any further arguments. He shrank his neck and led the way in a desperate manner.
On both sides of the road leading to the left node, they collected a lot of lion fur and lion clan footprints.
There are also orc warriors who like to chew the most, to refresh and calm the mood, the mandala leaves that have been repeatedly soaked and baked in spices and secret medicines, and the dregs that are spit out after chewing.
These clues all prove that what the wolf king said is true.
It also strengthened Tiger King's determination to take a shortcut and catch up.
It's just that when they passed the node at the end of the road on the right, went through another space change, and came to a completely unfamiliar area, they discovered that the really difficult problem had just appeared.
This is a valley between two steep mountains.
Perhaps because of the unpredictable topography, waterfalls and streams are often introduced into the valley. The entire valley is blocked by silt, and there are blisters and swamps between the silt. After three thousand years of fermentation, it emits a strong and pungent smell. .
As far as the eye can see, the remains of fel puppets are scattered everywhere in the swamp, like a pair of metal and spar cast, with gears instead of joints, pipes instead of tendons, huge strange-shaped skeletons, quietly sleeping.
Many fel puppets were completely sunk in the depths of the swamp, with only the tip of the iceberg's head or limbs exposed.
But it is hard to see whether they have been completely destroyed, and how many soul-stirring and deadly weapons are still embedded in their bodies.
Around the fel puppets, there were also scattered the skeletons of Turan warriors ten times more numerous.
Judging from the dull luster of most of the bones, they should be the brave and fearless victims of the vigorous decisive battle to defend the holy mountain temple three thousand years ago.
The orc skeleton, which is a hundred times more distorted and broken than the remains of the fel puppet, silently tells the horror of the ultimate weapon that the Holy Light camp honorably calls "The Angel of Killing".
Many Turanian warriors had been wiped out even three thousand years ago, leaving only empty armor and twisted weapons, eroded by the years into a part of the swamp.
Among the dusty remains of the ancient battlefield, there are only a few relatively fresh corpses.
——To say "fresh" is also compared with the time scale of three thousand years.
In fact, these corpses were all fragmented, highly decomposed, and even before being highly decomposed, they were burned into coke that could be broken at the touch of a touch.
They are all explorers who followed "Jackal" Kanus deep into the holy mountain last time.
Although the fighting power is not as good as the Tiger Warrior behind "Blade of Fury".
But they are all experienced temple explorers, who are best at digging three feet into the ground and adapting to the situation. They once followed "Jackal" Kanus to break through countless temple ruins, many traps, and escaped death.
But they didn't seem to have even crossed half of this swampy valley before they were torn into pieces and burned to charcoal by the revived fel puppets.
Tiger King's face became extremely ugly.
"How come there are so many fel puppets?"
Known as the "Blade of Fury", he didn't even feel "happy to see the hunter".
Fel puppets, like Turanze's original warriors, are the ultimate weapons of both races.
It is different from the origin warriors that can be "manufactured" by the crazy Turan warriors, the powerful witch doctor's secret medicine, and the out-of-control totem armor.
Fel puppets are not something that the Holy Light Temple can make on its own.
At best, the Holy Light Temple can only create the body of a fel puppet—those dense pipes, intricate gears, and limbs inlaid with sharp blades, forming a colossus.
As for the "brain" of the fel puppets, those shining crystals must rely on the prayers of the priest of the Holy Light to fall from the sky, and then install them in the metal body, so that the cold dead thing can continue to fight until it is completely destroyed. ability to destroy.
It is precisely because the birth of fel puppets is so difficult.
The Holy Light Temple has always been very cautious about the use of fel puppets. In a normal-scale battle, the number of fel puppets used is often no more than a few dozen. Moreover, even if the fel puppets are destroyed, the fragmented wreckage must be destroyed. Tow it back for repairs and rebuilds to get the most out of it.
The Tiger King did not expect that the Holy Light Army three thousand years ago would be willing to leave so many remains of evil puppets in this small mountain depression in one go.
It really is the "Great Extermination Order Era", the most powerful era of the Holy Light camp in the past ten thousand years!
"These fel puppets are intentionally left here to serve as 'seals'."
"Jackal" Kanus explained with a gloomy expression, "Although the Holy Light Army three thousand years ago failed to find the remains of the Holy Mountain Temple and the fireball, they had to retreat because they ran out of ammunition and food.
"But before retreating, they left behind a large number of fel puppets, blocking most of the correct roads leading to the holy mountain temple. The possibility of the Holy Mountain Temple, at least try to create as much trouble as possible for us.
"Because they were left on purpose, the internal structures of many evil puppets have not suffered much damage. In addition, they have silently collected and transformed evil energy for three thousand years. Fel energy puppets, how much difference is there?"
