Dark passages, scarlet walls, cold ancient tombs, plus the terrifying howls that sounded from time to time.
The scenes, atmosphere, sound effects, and background stories are all there. When combined together, it really feels like a real version of Huangquan Road.
Or perhaps, in a sense, the place this leads to is even more desperate than the real Nine Netherworld.
Zhang Xiaoman paid attention to the situation below all the way, but according to his psychic perception, he never saw the shadow of a foreign species within 50 meters.
What he was passing now was a spiral staircase going down. He had been walking for an unknown amount of time, and it felt like it had reached nearly a hundred meters.
This scene with no end in sight gave him the illusion that this staircase would be endless.
Of course, no end is impossible.
Even illusions can't fascinate him. He has the ability of the Spirit Star Ring and is immune to all mental attacks.
The surrounding environment finally changed after he walked more than a hundred meters down. The first thing that entered his ears was the sparse sound of underground water flowing.
“What a big space!”
When Zhang Xiaoman left the winding staircase, he was shocked by the vast underground space in front of him.
I saw a collapsed wall on the edge of an artificial tomb, and behind the wall, a huge space with no end appeared here.
"Puff puff puff~"
Suddenly, there was a sound of flapping wings. Before Zhang Xiaoman had time to observe the situation in the tombs around him, he saw a large group of dark energy waves coming towards him rapidly from a place not far away.
"He's the kind of guy who looks like a bat!"
He reacted immediately, and the dozen or so star guards around him all followed suit. They raised the long bows that had been prepared in advance, pointed it in the direction of the monster's attack, and fired.
"Swish swish!"
Dozens of shots pierced the air, and arrows condensed from dark energy shot into the group of monsters, accurately piercing their bodies. Some of the unlucky ones were shot directly in the head and died.
However, compared to the huge number of monsters, this loss was nothing. Zhang Xiaoman only saw the dense army of flying bats rushing towards him, and he became a little nervous in his heart.
There was no way around it. There were indeed too many monsters. At a glance, there were at least fifty of them. This was the first time he had faced such a large group of aliens at the same time.
Fortunately, he is not fighting alone. Although the number on his side is only one-fifth of theirs, his individual strength is far better than that of his opponent.
Pointing to the ground with his hand, the Shanhe swords in the sword boxes behind him were unsheathed one after another, streaks of cold light flashed through the air, and then fell one after another around him and the Star Guards.
In this kind of team battle lineup, Zhang Xiaoman did not hesitate to use the sword formation skills he had learned to strengthen his own overall strength.
Now after several upgrades, although his sword formation skills have not yet reached the purple level, the attributes have also improved a lot.
For example, Broken Star, which increases physical attack, has been upgraded to the fifth level. It now has a coverage area comparable to an entire small football field, and can also increase the attack power of friendly forces by 25%.
This level of strengthening can already play a considerable role, especially after its range is increased, its effect on one's own units is greatly improved.
Now, combined with the attribute halo of the Star Paladin, Zhang Xiaoman's combat power suddenly increased greatly. He even felt that he could kill them all with one punch.
Next, as the Star Guards' second wave of bows and arrows shot out, the group of monsters also rushed closer.
"Roar!"
A flying bat flying at the front screamed and pounced on a star guard. The sharp claws on its four arms stretched out and the target was clearly aimed at the opponent's head.
Zhang Xiaoman's eyes saw this scene, and a smile appeared on his face, as if he was a hunter who had laid a trap and was waiting for his prey to come to him.
The next second, when the monster came close to a certain range, the body that was originally maintaining a flying posture suddenly seemed to have lost its balance, and its wide wings were so stiff that it was uncontrollable, and it was difficult to incite it.
"Squeak!"
The panicked flying bat monster instantly let out a series of screams, and then its body fell uncontrollably along with the inertia, and was instantly pierced by several spears below.
Seeing this, Zhang Xiaoman's smile deepened, and he was very satisfied with the skill he just used.
The reason why this flying bat monster appeared in this situation was due to the sword formation present - Swallowing the Sun and the Moon.
Swallowing the Sun and the Moon is a blue-level skill. After being upgraded several times, it does not have other additional attributes, but only expands its range. Compared with other abilities, this is a bit of a disadvantage.
However, just like the control-free Tai Chi, it itself possesses an irreplaceable special ability, and this ability cannot fly!
Within the scope of Swallowing the Sun and Moon, all enemy units are unable to fly!
At this moment, something strange happened.
A large group of flying bat monsters roared and rushed towards Zhang Xiaoman. However, after entering a certain range, each of them suddenly seemed to have lost power and fell to the ground screaming.
Some of the unlucky ones were pierced by the Star Guard's two-meter long spear at the first opportunity.
Although the others did not die directly, they were also stunned by the sudden fall. A few were even lucky enough to run out of the range of the sword formation, but when they flew over again, they were hit by another one. The move was banned and fell down again.
Zhang Xiaoman naturally couldn't let go of such a good opportunity, so he immediately led a group of star guards to make up for it.
These flying bats were extremely fierce when they were in the sky, but when they landed on the ground, they were like eggplants beaten by frost. Their combat effectiveness was greatly reduced. The star guards launched melee attacks and easily gained the upper hand.
However, although the monsters were caught off guard by the air ban effect, and lost their best air combat capabilities.
However, due to the large number, it was difficult for Zhang Xiaoman to capture them for a while, and the battle turned into the most brutal stage of fighting.
"boom!"
Zhang Xiaoman spotted a place where monsters gathered and threw a fireball at it.
Suddenly, there was a fire all around, and with a huge explosion, the group of monsters howled in the flames.
At this time, Zhang Xiaoman didn't care to observe the specific results of the battle over there. He turned around and carried the Shanhe Sword to kill another guy who was preparing for a sneak attack.
