Chapter 270: Chapter 270 Was There A Possibility?
At the same time, the aura on the Corpse-limb King’s body seemed to weaken a little, as if the head represented a part of the Corpse-limb King’s power.
Seeing that the attack was useful, the Elemental Elf Queen and the other half-step Saint-tier soldiers around her began to attack the Corpse-limb King’s chest.
The Corpse-limb King’s chest let out a series of angry roars. Then, rays of light began to emanate from the Corpse-limb King’s body.
This light was pitch-black, just like the black fog that covered the body of the tarnished.
The black light soon covered the entire body of the Corpse-limb King, as if it was draped with a layer of light.
The flames and dragon breath spat out by the undying blood phoenix and the dark divine dragon landed on the layer of light, but it did not have any effect. It was as if it was blocked by the layer of black light.
Beside Ren Qi, the soldiers that were supporting the long-range attack also realized that their long-range magic attacks lost any offensive power when they landed on the layer of black light.
However, Ren Qi noticed that the cannonballs fired by the Xuan Ming’s mechanical troops could still cause damage to the other party, even though the damage that a complete Tier-9 mechanical soldier could cause was limited.
“That black light coat can block magic attacks!” Ren Qi quickly discovered this point and directly shouted.
Long Yi and the rest were clearly aware of this point. One after another, they began to fly over and engage in close combat.
Through observation, Ren Qi discovered that this Corpse-limb King’s attacks were basically physical and basically did not have any magic attack methods.
Could it be that it was precisely because of this that this Corpse-limb King developed the ability to defend against magic attacks?
Was it to force the enemy to engage in close-quarters combat with it?
After engaging in close-quarters combat, it could be clearly seen that this Corpse-limb King began to gain the upper hand.
When the Corpse-limb King attacked, large amounts of skeletal hands could be extended from its huge skeletal arms. Even in the face of the attacks of many soldiers, it was still able to deal with them with ease.
A half-step Saint-tier undying blood phoenix was accidentally caught by the Corpse-limb King and was sent to its mouth. It opened its mouth and bit down.
The undying blood phoenix let out a mournful cry. Then, it was devoured by the Corpse-limb King amidst miserable cries.
After devouring the undying blood phoenix, the aura of the Corpse-limb King clearly became denser.
Ren Qi’s expression slightly changed. No wonder these tarnished and Corpse-limb King were so eager to chase after them.
It turned out that flesh and blood would help them increase their strength.
The Elemental Elf Queen continued to attack. The magic staff in her hand continuously flickered with seven-colored light as she directly shot toward the Corpse-limb King in front of her.
Although the Corpse-limb King currently had an outer garment that could block magic attacks, the Elemental Elf Queen was clear that this outer garment that could block magic attacks would not be able to last for too long.
As long as she could reach the limit of this outer garment, she would be able to break it.
Among everyone else, only she possessed the strength of a Saint-tier and was able to quickly wear down this outer garment.
The Corpse-limb King was clearly aware of this matter. He directly targeted the Elemental Elf Queen, hoping to get rid of this big problem first.
However, how could the Elemental Elf Queen allow this Corpse-limb King to touch her?
Rays of seven-colored light gathered in front of the Dark Elf Queen, revealing refracted light.
The Corpse-limb King’s attack was first deflected by the seven-colored light. It simply could not land on the Elemental Elf Queen’s body.
Moreover, after the Elemental Elf Queen had recovered to the Saint-tier, she had used the Elemental Holy Stone to increase her own strength. Now, she had gained some initial control over the power of spatial laws.
The Corpse-limb King’s figure quickly flashed and appeared behind the Elemental Elf Queen. A large number of bone spikes shot out, wanting to turn the Elemental Elf Queen into a sieve.
However, the Elemental Elf Queen’s figure only quickly dissipated under the piercing of the bone spikes.
This was a phantom image!
The Elemental Elf Queen’s figure appeared behind the Corpse-limb King. The magic staff in her hand emitted a seven-colored light, directly condensing into a sharp aura, it quickly pierced into the chest of the Corpse-limb King in front.
This time, the Elemental Elf Queen used most of her strength. Even though the Corpse-limb King tried its best to block it with its hands, the seven-colored light still pierced through its body.
Several miserable cries sounded out. A part of the head on the Corpse-limb King’s chest was directly destroyed.
This also weakened the Corpse-limb King’s aura by quite a bit. Elise and the others around did not hesitate. They took the opportunity to attack and destroyed a few more heads on the Corpse-limb King’s chest.
As the Corpse-limb King continued to scream, more than half of its head was destroyed.
The Corpse-limb King saw that the situation was not good and immediately prepared to escape.
A hole appeared in the ground and the Corpse-limb King wanted to enter.
However, the Dark Elf Queen would not let this guy go so easily.
A large number of black plants emerged from the crack in the ground and directly pushed this Corpse-limb King up.
Another seven-colored light shot out from the magic staff in the Elemental Elf Queen’s hand and quickly shot toward the chest of this Corpse-limb King.
When this Corpse-limb King saw this, he did not hesitate at all and directly stretched his body. His body suddenly exploded.
The entire Corpse-limb King instantly turned into small corpse limb warriors. Following the explosion of his body, they quickly scattered and fled in all directions!
Ren Qi and the rest were stunned for a moment. Then, they hurriedly ordered the soldiers around them to surround and chase after him.
When this Corpse-limb King gathered together, he possessed the strength to advance. Therefore, he was naturally extremely powerful.
However, now that the entire Corpse-limb King’s body had exploded, the small corpse limbs that had appeared were only an ordinary corpse limbs. Its aura was only at tier nine, and the surrounding soldiers were able to take action.
However, these corpse limb borrowed the strength of the Corpse-limb King’s explosion to fly far away. Moreover, once they landed on the ground, these corpse limb directly drilled into the ground and quickly disappeared.
Therefore, in the end, Ren Qi and the others only killed fifty to sixty corpse limbs.
However, each corpse limb had a soul orb in its body!
The probability of a corpse limb having a soul orb in its body was much higher than that of a tarnished. At the very least, the corpse limbs Ren Qi had killed now basically all contained soul orb in their bodies.
After killing most of the small corpse limbs, Long Yi continued to lead Ren Qi and the others forward, moving forward quickly.
Although the corpse limbs around them had been killed, this place was still quite dangerous. It was best not to stay here for too long.
Following behind Long Yi, Ren Qi and the others continued forward for ten minutes. However, they did not encounter a large group of tarnished.
They encountered small groups of tarnished along the way, as if there were very few tarnished here.
Soon, Ren Qi and the others saw a faint blue light spreading out in front of them. They knew that they had already arrived at the location of the dark fire.
The third sealing door should be not far in front of them.
As expected, after walking for five minutes, Ren Qi and the others had already seen the huge faint blue flame and the huge door that stood between heaven and earth behind the faint blue flame.
This time, the dark divine dragons guarding this place did not go out. Instead, they were all standing guard in front of the huge door.
Ren Qi took a look. There were around four hundred dark divine dragons here, and there were nearly a hundred half-step Saint-tier dark divine dragons among them.
With so many dark divine dragons, it was still very intimidating.
Soon, Long Yi brought everyone to the huge door and began to repair the surroundings of the dark fire.
With their previous experience, everyone began to work in an orderly manner. Some of the soldiers had already begun to set up tents.
To be honest, passing through the area behind the second sealing door was much faster than passing through the first sealing door.
It was just that the Corpse-limb King that they encountered at the back was somewhat unexpected. The others were similar to what they encountered after passing through the first sealing door.
“Hey, what do you guys think that Corpse-limb King is? Could it be a monster formed from a large number of corpse limb?” Tian Jizi was the first to speak after the few of them gathered together.
Li Tianlan nodded and said, “From the looks of it, it does indeed look like this. A large number of corpse limb are entangled together, forming the Corpse-limb King. The head on the chest of the Corpse-limb King should represent the number of corpse limbs.”
Ren Qi also nodded. From the current situation, it seemed that this was indeed the case.
“There are a total of six sealing gates. We have already arrived at the third sealing gate. In other words, we will be able to reach the sixth sealing gate after passing through three more such regions.”
“At that time, we will be able to enter the forbidden land. Although the benefits should be in the forbidden land, we don’t even know what is inside the forbidden land. We also don’t know if we will end up with nothing.”
Guo Feiyang thought about what he had experienced before. He frowned and said worriedly.
Ren Qi said, “Long Yi said before that he made a bet with someone to protect this place for a hundred years. After that, he will receive a reward.”
“From the current situation, the reward that they agreed on should be in the forbidden land.”
“To be able to let Long Yi lead the Dark Divine Dragon clan to protect this place for a hundred years, the reward should be quite rich. The Holy Stone is one of the most important.”
Zhao Yuheng also opened her mouth and said, “That’s right. From the looks of it, our decision to come here was not wrong. Moreover, it is not a loss for us to know about the soul orb.”
Everyone nodded upon hearing this. The news that one could obtain a pure soul orb after burning the soul orb was indeed very beneficial to everyone.
“That’s right, we have already arrived at the dark fire. It can be considered relatively safe. Should we go out and hunt the tarnished to obtain the soul orb?”
Li Linan looked at the few of them at this moment and asked.
Ren Qi and the few of them exchanged glances before nodding.
“We did not exhaust too much energy passing through this place. We can go out and hunt the tarnished. However, we should not be too far away from the dark fire. Additionally, everyone should not send out all of your troops. Leave at least one-third of your troops behind to face any unexpected situations.”
Ren Qi looked at the few of them and directly opened his mouth to speak.
After all, this was the area behind the sealed door. Although dragon one said that the tarnished would not approach the area where the dark fire was located, who knew if there would be other dangers? It was best to be careful.
Moreover, when Ren Qi had ignited the soul orb earlier and wanted to use the netherworld fire to scare away the surrounding tarnished, it did not have much effect. This caused Ren Qi to have some doubts about the effect of the Netherworld fire.
Hearing Ren Qi’s words, the few of them nodded. After which, they began to distribute their forces and gathered together to hunt.
After Ren Qi asked Long Yi if there was anything that they needed to pay attention to, the entire team set off and headed outside.
At this moment, Ren Qi also came to Long Yi’s side. After thinking for a moment, he asked directly, “Senior Long Yi, didn’t you say that the dark fire can drive away the tarnished?”
“When I was besieged by the tarnished just now, I ignited the soul orb. However, when the light of the dark fire shone out, it didn’t have any effect on the tarnished. It just made their attacks a little stiff.”
Hearing Ren Qi’s words, Long Yi replied, “If the dark fire wants to have the effect of driving away the tarnished, it must be burned to a large enough extent. It must at least be one-third of the dark fire.”
Looking at the enormous netherworld fire flames that Long Yi pointed at, Ren Qi’s eyes revealed a hint of understanding.
So it was because they did not have enough fuel.
The remaining troops began to reorganize themselves while Ren Qi, Zhao Yuheng, and the others gathered the soul orbs they had obtained together.
There were more than 300 soul orbs in total.
Most of them still contained impurities. However, Ren Qi and the others did not directly burn these soul orbs and then burn the impurities out of them.
They could keep these soul orbs and burn them when they encountered the tarnished.
On one hand, they could remove the impurities in the soul orbs. On the other hand, they could also cause a negative impact on the tarnished.
Even if they slowed down their attack speed, it was considered extremely good.
After chatting for a short while, Ren Qi turned on the communication device and began to check the messages in the chat group.
Although they were here, they still needed to understand the news from the outside world.
It had been two days since Ren Qi and the others arrived here. They had spent a day in the lost zone and a day in the two sealed doors.
This place was very strange. There was no sun rising or setting, only the thickness of the black fog. Moreover, it was just that the place was different, so the thickness of the black fog was different.
It was not because the thickness of the black fog was different because the time was different.
Therefore, in this place, it was still very difficult for Ren Qi and the others to form a concept of time. They could only rely on their communication devices to check the time.
[ Is there anyone who wants to buy demon meat? The seventh-tier demon meat is sold. A unit of demon meat only requires half an energy crystal. ]
[ Is there anyone who wants to sell Holy Stones? I will offer 50,000 energy crystals and 300 demon crystals. The Big Bosses, can you give me one holy stone? ]
[ What the F * ck are you thinking about? You Want Holy Stones with such a small amount of resources? If you can give me 10,000 magic crystals, I can consider it. ]
[ What the F * ck are you thinking about? 10,000 energy crystals? Why Don’t You F * cking Rob Them? ]
[ Turn off the engine upstairs, or else the chat group will be blocked. What? Our chat group is not controlled. Oh, then it’s fine. ]
[ F*ck! I found a monster faction today. I was just about to go in and check it out, but I didn’t expect a lot of people who were covered in black fog to run out. Those who didn’t want to die nearly wiped out all my troops. ]
[ This isn’t strange anymore. Many people have encountered it. There are still a lot of them. The Black Fog didn’t change again. Why is there such a ‘New Thing’? ]
[ Maybe it’s something triggered by the black fog. Everyone should be careful. ]
[ Brothers and sisters, I have a feeling that the black fog will mutate again in the near future. No one knows what will happen then. ]
[ Upstairs, shut up! Damn it, if you don’t speak, no one will take you for a mute. ]
[ That’s right, don’t Jinx it. Every time the Black Fog mutates, don’t the new lords suffer heavy casualties? ]
[ Sigh, don’t talk about it. Although every time the black fog changes, many of our new lords suffer heavy casualties, there are also many beneficial things that appear. ]
[ As for the holy stone, we have never heard of it outside. It is a divine weapon that can help the military to upgrade. ]
[ Do you think that we are experimenting with new things in the experimental bases that have been jointly established by several large countries? weren’t we still investing resources from the air previously? Are the people outside observing us like mice? ]
[ The person upstairs has a big imagination, but don’t think about it next time. ]
...
Ren Qi and the others looked at the messages in the chat group and fell silent.
From the messages in the chat group, it seemed that the number of tarnished appearing outside was increasing.
“The tarnished escaped through the sealed door. In other words, there are not only six sealed doors here, but there are also tarnished in other places. That’s why there are tarnished in other places in the black fog?” Xuan Ming thought for a while and said.
If the sealed doors were very large, the six sealed doors here would be protected by the dark divine dragons. It would not be a big problem.
However, if the other sealed doors were not protected at all, once they were completely opened, the defilers would pour into the black fog, and the new Lord would suffer.
After all, everyone had witnessed the combat power of the defilers. The most terrifying thing was their numbers and their indomitable attacks.
It was like a demon wave formed by a large number of high-level monsters.
Moreover, there was still time for the demon wave to retreat. However, if these defilers locked onto their targets, they would not rest until one of them was dead.
At this moment, Xu Xinghe frowned and said.
“If, I mean if, is there a possibility that there are only these six sealed doors, and the defilers outside did not go through the sealed doors, but through other means?”
