With nothing to do, the four of them could only use themselves as bait to finally lure these monsters out.
It’s just that I don’t know how many monsters were killed, but the leader-level monster never showed up.
"This can't go on like this."
Imhotep looked worried: "We have wasted too much time along the way, falling behind step by step."
“Isn’t it bad to be left behind?”
The Headless Horseman couldn't help but argue: "When Fang Cheng, Dracula and the Knights of the Apocalypse decide the winner, we will pick up the heads again, otherwise you still want to intervene in the battle between them?"
"Of course I don't."
Imhotep glanced at him: "I'm afraid of delaying for too long. By the time we arrive at the core area slowly, the competition might be over."
"What you two said makes sense."
Aziz said: "But let's find the key to this area first. These skeletons with no flesh at all are too boring."
"Then how do you find it?"
"How do I know? The heavy fog has obscured my sense of smell. I am now blind."
"Me too, my perception has been severely reduced to less than 1%."
The three of them all turned to look at the lich Apollonius. As the temporary leader of this loose alliance, he should take on the responsibility of guiding the way forward.
If he couldn't do it, the other three might have to pull him down and replace him with another leader.
Apollonius was confident and had obviously thought about it carefully: "Look for the origin of these monsters. They must have a lair in this snowy mountain."
This is nonsense, but it is also the only feasible way at present.
The four of them immediately took action. Aziz summoned a group of ghouls, and the Headless Horseman also sent monsters to follow him.
Apollonius controlled the dead skeletal snow monster and reused it.
It didn't take long for the quick-moving ghoul to find the source of the monster.
It was a cave hidden on a cliff, and many skeleton snow monsters climbed out of it.
Aziz controlled the ghoul to go inside to see what was going on. After stumbling around in the dark cave, he saw clearly what was going on inside through the ghoul.
The interior of the snow-capped mountains is hollow, but it is filled with ice, forming glaciers with complex terrain.
The lair of these skeletal snow monsters is within the glacier.
There was no choice but for the four of them to start drilling into the glacier.
It is not completely dark in the glacier. I don’t know where the light source comes from, reflecting the glacier crystal clear.
Glaciers fill the interior of the mountain, but perhaps due to earthquakes, the glaciers are full of cracks and faults. These cracks and faults are the only passable roads.
The entire glacier was truly a monster's lair, and the four of them were fiercely besieged as soon as they entered.
Countless monsters swarmed out of the cracks and faults, like ants that had been stabbed in their nest.
The four of them were cleaning up the monsters while looking for a way to go down. Occasionally, when they encountered no way to go, they would smash the glacier blocking the way.
Going all the way down in this way, I don’t know how deep I walked, and finally arrived at the bottom level.
The terrain at the bottom is like a large rift valley, with towering cliffs on both sides, covered with thick ice, and many monsters can be seen moving in the cracks.
"Something's not right!"
Since arriving at this place, Imhotep has always seemed very vigilant, and now he reminded him loudly: "I feel the aura of evil."
Not only him, but the other three people also felt it.
This great rift valley is filled with an unsettling atmosphere, as thick as a mire.
"Whatever it is, the key is definitely inside."
Apollonius took the initiative to walk towards the Great Rift Valley. The other three looked at each other and could only follow.
There are not many monsters in the rift, but more, swarming out one after another like a tide.
But no amount of monsters could stop the four of them, and they soon reached the deepest part of the Great Rift Valley.
There is no light source here, and the front is completely dark, just like a crack in the subspace, and it seems that it will be swallowed up if it goes forward.
Out of an intuition of danger, the four of them subconsciously stopped.
Imhotep lit a flame and threw it into the darkness.
The flame flew far away, but the light emitted was suppressed by the darkness, leaving only a hazy point, and then disappeared.
Aziz released a ghoul and ordered the ghoul to run inside.
More than ten meters later, Aziz looked serious: "It's gone, and my control has been disconnected."
The Headless Horseman held his head in his hands with a solemn expression: "My intuition tells me that it's very dangerous inside. Do you want to go in?"
"How can you find the key if you don't go in?"
"We have two disaster levels, do we still need to be afraid?"
The four of them are big shots in the outside world, at the top of the monster food chain, and they don't even know what it means to be afraid.
But today, in this darkness where I couldn't even see my fingers, I did feel a little bit scared.
The Headless Horseman was about to speak when Apollonius suddenly raised his hand to stop him: "Something is coming out!"
The three of them looked into the darkness with vigilant eyes, showing a guarded posture.
Although there was no sound inside, I could definitely feel something approaching.
Imhotep lit another flame, this time larger and brighter, and threw it inside.
Under the light of the fire, the four of them finally saw clearly.
It was a pitch-black figure, with limbs and a head. The whole body was pitch black, except for a section of living flesh on the left arm from the elbow to the shoulder.
The four of them gasped at the same time.
Not only because of the sudden appearance of the black figure, but also not only because of the half of the body on the opponent's arm.
But the black shadow had already arrived ten meters in front of them, and they had only just noticed it.
"That's... mother's body?!"
Apollonius suddenly spoke in shock and pointed at half of the arm of the black shadow.
The other three were shocked. They had long heard Dracula say that their mother's area was within the realm of the undead.
They were all doubtful about this news at first. If they had known such secret information, they would have hidden it tightly and would not have announced it.
But Dracula just said it, no wonder he was suspected.
But now, they actually saw their mother's body appear.
So what the hell is this dark shadow that can use the mother's body?
When the four of them were confused, the black shadow suddenly jumped out and shot towards the four of them quickly.
"Do it!"
Apollonius gave a sharp shout and took the lead in raising his hand to shoot a green death ray.
No matter what this black shadow is, there is nothing wrong with killing it.
The others also took action at the same time. The Headless Horseman waved his bone whip, and Aziz spat out a large mouthful of corrosive liquid.
But these attacks were all penetrated by the black shadow and could not hurt it at all.
boom!
A huge sarcophagus suddenly fell from the sky, turning the black shadow upside down inside.
Everyone was in shock, and Imhotep said: "Don't worry, no one can escape from this sarcophagus except me..."
Before he finished speaking, the black shadow had already emerged from the sarcophagus, and with lightning speed, plunged into Imhotep's body.
Three people: "..."
