The two arc-shaped corridors more than three meters wide can only charge a dozen monsters at a time, and they have a certain hindering effect on the attacks of long-range monsters. For the defensive force on the terrace at this time, the pressure is not too great. .
However, the scale and duration of the monster attack surprised everyone, and the defensive battle lasted until the evening.
Night is approaching, but the monsters in the courtyard still look like they are determined not to give up. They have been stimulated to the point of madness by the previous blood meal, and they are doubly coveting the human scent on the high platform.
Several fluttering afterimages suddenly appeared from the ground on the terrace. Some job transferees were caught off guard and were attacked by sneak attacks. The mana they had been struggling to maintain was suddenly unsustainable, and defensive formations appeared. There was a moment of confusion.
Monsters like ghosts simply ignored this kind of terrain. As the night deepened, more and more ghosts swarmed from the ground and behind the terrace towards the job-changers on the platform.
Although several more teams came to support from the teleportation array at this time, these ghosts were difficult to guard against, and they were born with the property of burning mana. They posed a great threat in this high-expense defensive battle.
And a greater threat has also appeared in the night.
"Pollution monster! It's a pollution monster! Retreat with low poison resistance!" Waves of nervous reminders erupted from the defending job changers.
"Even the monsters in the core area have gathered here!? This is separated by two walls. How come even the pollution monsters appear here?" Everyone was shocked, and they all looked like they were facing a formidable enemy.
Mo Bei saw the huge fangs and mouth of the pollution monster rushing towards him. They didn't look much different from the crippled monster, and he was still surprised at everyone's reaction.
I saw that those pollution monsters moved very quickly, and their top-heavy body structure seemed to be completely unimpeded. They arrogantly created a path among the monster groups with almost no gaps, and even stepped on other monsters and rushed towards the terrace.
The necromancer behind Mo Bei immediately raised his hand to raise a bone wall, and then suddenly clenched his skinny palms, triggering a corpse explosion on the other side of the bone wall.
Two extremely mana-consuming spells failed to cause much hindrance to several crippled monsters. They climbed up the bone wall and bit into the rugged bones. Bone fragments suddenly flew away, and the mucus in their mouths fell on the bones. On the wall, it quickly penetrated into the gaps between the closely connected bones, corroding bursts of black energy.
So poisonous!
Mo Bei's eyelids twitched. With such a strong bite force and venom, it was like a giant Gila monster.
The Gila monster, which is more than a foot long, can make people run away, and the size of these pollution monsters is almost the same as a bull. No wonder everyone reacted like that before. It is indeed the core monster of the monastery, strengthened by Andariel Became extremely scary.
Under the combined action of biting and corrosion, the bone wall only lasted for a few breaths before completely shattering. The pollution monster opened its ferocious mouth and plunged into the crowd with poisonous saliva.
Facing the ferocious swarm of pollution monsters, the career changers did not dare to show off their abilities, and the defensive formation suddenly became a little more chaotic.
Mo Bei's poison resistance and defense were extremely high, and he seemed relatively calm in dealing with it. However, seeing that other pollution monsters had already rushed into the crowd, and with the ghosts floating in the air, there was no point in guarding this corridor at this time. Immediately guide everyone to gather in the center of the terrace, and the purifying halo covers them indiscriminately.
Feeling that the toxin damage and corrosiveness of the crippled monster were greatly reduced, and the health value was still rising steadily, everyone calmed down and calmly dealt with the monster's siege.
During this time, the number of teams approaching the teleportation station increased greatly. Several teams of career changers who were preparing to go to the teleportation station to spend the night saw the frantic group of monsters from a distance. They immediately stopped and exited to a safe area and immediately tore open the teleportation scroll. , after returning to the camp, he stepped into the teleportation circle again without stopping to support the defense.
Those career changers who used human corpses to attract the monster swarms seemed to have thrown away all the corpses and body parts they carried, and turned around and rushed towards the cathedral spire that shimmered in the night sky.
One of the teams approached the teleportation station in a roundabout way, as if they wanted to use the terrain to see their masterpiece.
He looked coldly at the high platform in the distance where various skills were flashing and the battle was going on. After a moment, he left expressionlessly, as if he was not satisfied with the result.
During the battle, Perona's eyes narrowed, she concentrated on sensing, and then immediately signaled to Mo Bei.
Mo Bei got the warning and glanced in the direction they left with cold eyes.
"No wonder monsters from such a large area have gathered here. Someone is really up to something!"
As more teams joined the defense, the situation on the terrace gradually became clearer. The monsters were blocked in the corridors on both sides again. Some mages even began to use spells to bombard the monsters under the platform.
The monsters in the monastery were very intelligent. Seeing that the high platform could not be attacked for a long time, the madness gradually subsided. At this time, they were bombarded by spells. Some monsters without long-range attack capabilities gave up the siege first and left the courtyard below.
The retreat of monsters always causes a chain reaction. The desire of the monsters behind to attack suddenly decreases sharply, and they gradually stop rushing into the corridor.
The job-changers took advantage of the victory to pursue them, formed a formation to counterattack under the high platform, completely killed the monster group, and then immediately retreated to the terrace.
When Granber saw that the battle was finally over, he immediately looked for Mo Bei in the crowd. However, after a search, he sighed in disappointment. When I came to the edge of the terrace and looked into the depths of the night, I found nothing.
"Where did the three-person team just go?" Some career changers nearby noticed that Mo Bei and the others seemed to have left, and began to ask each other.
"That... seems to be Perona from the Mage Guild." A mage gestured with his hand to indicate a height on his chest and said uncertainly.
"It's very similar! But how long has it been since she changed jobs?"
"It should be them! Many camp guards are spreading the news that they have killed more than one wizard team from Lu Gaoyin. Looking at their strength now, it should not be nonsense."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was in an uproar. Most of them had never experienced a fight between fellow job transfers, let alone a team that could cross the Aranok Desert.
They also had some contact with the mercenary teams that followed the caravans in the camp. Most of them were brave and stoic guys, and no one was easy to deal with.
The three Mo Bei men had indeed separated from the crowd during the counterattack just now and chased in the direction where the four people left.
Due to the constraints of the battle, Perona could no longer sense their existence.
But he judged that the other party was probably going to the cathedral in the core area of the monastery. The two parties had a life-or-death relationship, and they were almost tricked. How could they let them escape like this.
After crossing the two walls in the core area, sporadic monsters began to appear around them. Although they were not many in number, they still made Mo Bei suspicious.
Which path did the other party take? Why are these monsters distributed as if no one has passed by?
He had some doubts about whether he was following the wrong direction, but at this time, he could no longer sense the other party's whereabouts. Even if he changed the direction, it would be of no use. He could only continue to move towards the cathedral.
The cathedral, which had been continuously expanded and raised over the centuries, appeared in front of the three of them. Although it was dilapidated and dilapidated, the spiers that seemed to reach the sky and the towers that stood like a phalanx of spearmen still looked extremely majestic.
After approaching the cathedral, Perona suddenly felt another feeling, but it was fleeting.
It seemed that they were not pursuing the wrong direction, and the three of them stepped into the cathedral decisively.
Looking up at the huge dome, he felt dizzy, as if the world was upside down. Mo Bei couldn't help but sigh, without the support of the magic circle, such a miracle would not have been possible.
Although there are no lighting equipment such as torches and lamps, the light here is still enough to see things. It seems that some materials that can produce weak light were used during construction. Under this kind of light, the entire main hall looks extremely solemn and quiet.
The ground ahead was covered with a heavy poisonous mist, which only settled about an inch above the ground. It looked like a green swamp.
The three of them all had high poison resistance, so they tentatively stepped into the poisonous mist. The air flow brought by their footsteps stirred up the poisonous mist, but it seemed to wake something up. The statue in front of them was composed of layers of On the guard's pulpit, there was a sudden "click" sound.
Only then did they notice that on the pulpit, wisps of poisonous mist were slowly flowing down along the edges of the steps and handrails. After the soft sound, the poisonous mist began to surge like stirred up dust, and then was suddenly sucked back onto the pulpit.
"boom!"
A raging wave of poisonous gas centered on the pulpit, spread out like a shock wave, and swallowed up the three people unstoppably.
The poisonous gas instantly enveloped the main hall, which could accommodate thousands of people, and even rolled up to the dome.
At this time, a skeleton like jade slowly stood up on the pulpit. There seemed to be a hint of cold emotion in the empty eyes, quietly watching the three people swallowed by the poisonous mist.
That was clearly the leader-level monster sitting in the cathedral, Ashes.
"I said...were you lazy just now?"
A voice suddenly came from the thick poisonous gas. Mo Bei waved the shield in his hand like a fan, trying to disperse the poisonous mist around him with a look of disgust.
"Did someone pass by before? Why didn't you stop him?"
The ashes were silent for a moment, then two groups of green flames gradually ignited on the two skeletal palms, and then the jaws opened and closed, making a "click-click" sound.
"What does it say?" Mo Bei tilted his head and asked Perona.
Perona almost exploded. What kind of language do you think this is? ?
Mo Bei received a roll of his eyes from Perona, and when he spoke to the ashes again, his tone was very harsh.
“Can you fucking stop sending Morse code!”
