Troll men and women began to assemble, armed with throwing spears, stone axes, and wooden shields. Their only metal weapons were a few scimitars and machetes. Elder Jilapakasa pointed to the carvings and murals on the temple walls and told about the dangers that might be hidden here.
According to them, the Sons of Domon in the darkness will capture lone warriors. No one knows where they are hiding or when they will appear.
The dangers in the ruins don't end there.
There used to be some swamp beasts and monitor lizards entrenched near the reservoir, hunting each other with the trolls. But that was a long time ago. The cistern is now the lair of a terrifying beast. It devoured and expelled other monitor lizards, wandering among deep underground rivers and pools. The troll didn't know which tunnel it entered the ruins from or why it couldn't leave. The most powerful warrior in the clan investigates its movements every year. Most of the time, they only see the terrifying huge shadow it casts on the rocks and ruins from a distance. No troll has ever seen its full sight up close. Come back alive.
To sum it up, there are dangerous monsters near another part of the ancient stone slab. As for the specific abilities of these monsters, they have no idea what they look like.
Galadia listened to the troll's statement calmly, tapping the pendant between her collars from time to time. Finally, she nodded to Griffith, indicating that she had gained insight into whether the troll was deceiving through the mysterious object, and found no signs of lies.
But that doesn’t mean trolls can be trusted. Griffith meditated for a moment and ordered the troll to pile the corpses of his slain compatriots and Professor Bell into a pile.
Twelve mutilated corpses were quickly gathered together. Griffith stepped back and began to pour spiritual energy into the psychic crystal in his hand.
A low voice echoed from the void and was transmitted to Griffith's mind through the crystal:
"The powerful death knight, Suture Monster Gulatoni is at your disposal. Shape into shape and fight for you."
The pile of corpses began to squirm and tumble, gathering like crawlers. The severed hands and feet were entangled with each other, and the pieces of flesh and internal organs were sewn together by hair, and they were entangled like meat balls.
This shocking and disgusting sight was enveloped in a black light.
The fat and ugly Stitch Monster was reborn and appeared in front of Griffith, its cloudy eyes looking through the flesh. The huge pale bones formed bone sickles and chains in its hands, dragging on the ground, making a tooth-itching friction sound.
"Follow me, Stitch Monster, you will be the vanguard," Griffith led his servants out of the hall and said to his companions and trolls who stared at the Stitch Monster in amazement, "Gulatoni is my warrior, set out , heading to the reservoir.”
…
The five-man team and their army of servants carefully advanced towards the reservoir through the large broken and toppled ruins of the Bellomont ruins. A few rays of sunlight passed through the cracks in the dome high above, illuminating the ground near the edge of the rock wall.
"That is the reservoir, the territory of the terrifying giant beast," Elder Jirapakasa said in a low voice, for fear of disturbing the missing creature. "Legend has it that it was blessed by the great power of the god Domon, and it also Therefore, we are attracted by his holy relics, wandering in our territory and sucking the power of darkness. It comes and goes without a trace, and our ancestors respected it as——
"The Hidden One Mordosos."
Except for the sound of the marching team, there was no movement in this desolate place. However, the deeper everyone goes into the ruins, the more they feel something is wrong.
If the Bellomont ruins are a desolate ancient ruin, then this is a haunted mass grave. An extremely chaotic magical aura lingers among the ruins, exuding indescribable chaotic energy.
However, there is no trace of giant beasts here. Apart from the dead ruins along the way, there were no remains of food or footprints of giant beasts, making one wonder if the owner here had moved away.
Under a tall stone wall that blocked his view, Griffith suddenly felt his skin tingling, as if countless fine needles were about to penetrate. Others also experienced varying degrees of discomfort.
Fiona immediately took over the Eternal Patriarch and pointed upward, and a delicate barrier covered everyone like a canopy, shielding the strange needle-pricking feeling.
However, her power was not enough to protect the trolls that followed. Soon, the trolls were vomiting one after another, showing symptoms of skin peeling and bleeding, and the whole group fell into panic and chaos.
"Great Warrior of the Ability God, this is the breath of the God of Shadows. We, we can no longer move forward!" Gilapakasa vomited on the ground and couldn't get up. "Please let us retreat for a while."
His expression was frightened and sincere, and the trolls around him were also in a panic.
Griffith looked at the servant army that was already in chaos and asked sharply: "Where is the stone slab?"
"Right ahead, behind those pillars and walls, there is a huge square and pool. There is an altar there, where the sacred stone slabs are hidden, and it is also the lair of the giant beast."
Galadia looked at the elder and said after a while: "He didn't lie, on the surface. In addition, I performed divination again, and the results showed that the way to safely leave the ruins is ahead. No matter what these trolls are planning, We all have to go in once.”
Griffith waved the troll back, turned around and made suggestions to everyone:
"This old and cunning guy must have some conspiracy if he didn't tell you earlier that there was a strange smell here. I'll take the Stitch Monster in, and you guys wait for me behind."
"Objection," Rana said first. "There may be huge dangers hidden here. It would be safer if we all join forces."
Others also had the same opinion and did not agree to let Griffith go in alone.
In this case, the investigation team continued to move forward behind the suture monster. After passing through some arched buildings, they saw a strange open space.
It's an empty square with a calm pool at the end. From the entrance to the square to the pool, there are statues of trolls stacked on both sides. Their postures were distorted, their faces were wailing to the sky in agony, and they stretched out their hands to grab something. Others were sitting on the ground, with their hands on the ground and kicking their legs, trying their best to break free from some kind of terror.
The stone statues here are exquisite beyond imagination. Although many have been damaged by the erosion of time, the remaining parts are lifelike, presenting almost real fear and despair on the cold stone. If you look directly into the eyes of the stone statues, you will even feel an eerie feeling, as if they are also looking at you.
"This smooth arc, no, this is not a stone statue, it is a petrified curse," Sonia carefully looked at it for a while and said with a serious expression, "Be careful, the monsters here are likely to have extraordinary abilities in similar fields. If it is really favored by the gods, then we will be facing a mythical creature."
Galadia looked uneasily at the silent darkness around her: "I feel like something is staring at us. But I can't catch its trace."
She immediately performed a divination to explore "the location of the ancient stone slab", and the divination result clearly pointed forward. At the end of the pool not far away was a low, collapsed altar with a huge stone table in the middle. The slate may be there.
"Then let's get through here as quickly as possible." Griffith looked around and found no trace of the monster. "Let's get the stone slab and leave."
Everyone was convinced and ran forward as quickly as possible.
Before he ran a few steps, Griffith heard a "pop" from behind. He turned around and saw that Sonia had fallen on the flat ground with nothing, and her face was slapped firmly on the ground.
"I, I tripped over something." Sonia said, covering her face.
Fiona went to help her up with a smile: "Falled on the ground, Sonia, you are getting more and more terrible..."
"thump."
Fiona fell to the ground before she could say anything. She raised her head in surprise and looked at her feet:
"Something just touched me!"
Everyone was frightened, and their vigilant eyes swept around their feet and the ground around them. But the cold stone slab was empty.
"You guys get out!" Griffith whispered, "I'll get the slate."
As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding scenery suddenly began to squirm like living creatures.
Illusory ripples appeared in the air, and the ground, gravel, and those stiff troll stone statues were all twisting and pulling indescribably, like rough frosted glass passing in front of everyone, and the scenery in front of them became blurred.
An astonishing terrifying momentum suddenly surged in the air. In the originally empty reservoir square, a vague and vague phantom like a hill is gradually becoming clear.
The mythical creature known as the Hidden One Modosus emerges from the silence and concealment that blends in with the environment.
Its whole body was covered with shield-like hard scales. Its huge body was entangled on the platform. Its upper limbs that were lowered into the pool slowly rose up. Its eight giant feet made a roar that shook the earth. Its huge long tail was right next to everyone's feet. The python usually rolls over.
Its body is like a monitor lizard enlarged ten times, but it has three heads raised high like a cobra. It opens a pair of blue, gold and red vertical pupils from left to right, like a noble king. Look down on your territory.
While being swept by the sight of this abnormal giant beast, everyone felt that their bodies became raw, as if they were about to be petrified.
Galadia's long hair did not move in the wind. Her thoughts spread out like threads, and illusory particles enveloped everyone present.
"The eternal starlight connects our hearts and saves us from confusion and blindness."
At this moment, Griffith found that his mind had become stable and his thoughts were clearer. The unusual rawness also temporarily disappeared. He seemed to hear the ethereal words of the elf praying, but he did not see her speak.
Griffith immediately realized that Galadia was growing towards Sequence 6, and that she had touched the threshold of the "field" of extraordinary abilities.
At the same time, he also gained some knowledge about the monster before him.
This is the mythical creature "Three Demonic Dragons", a twisted and mutated subspecies of the dragon, with powerful vitality and hidden powers. In addition, each of its heads possesses independent thoughts and powerful magic.
The dragon head with blue vertical pupils controls the magic of frost, and the dragon head with red vertical pupils has the power to breathe out flames. When fighting against it, one must remain mobile at all times, otherwise they will be devoured by the crossfire of ice and fire.
Its strongest ability comes from the golden vertical pupil in the middle of its head. It can transform into magic spells to play with its prey wantonly, and even understand their fears and exploit them.
The three demonic dragons feed on magical energy, and their large mouths full of fangs can bite, but they do not need to live on flesh and blood. It emits astonishing evil energy all the time, and the sanity of all intelligent creatures within a 40-yard radius around it will continue to decline. Once their sanity slips to the unsustainable limit, their souls and psychic powers will become food for the three dragons, leaving only useless petrified bodies.
"Spread out and attack it!" Griffith was the first to attack. He threw an ice spear at the mythical creature. The impact on the stiff scales was shattered, but it attracted its attention.
The middle head of Modosus immediately bit him, blocking the shield.
This heavy blow knocked him back, but Lana and Fiona immediately surrounded him from both sides and chopped at the long neck together. The thick, shield-like scales were shattered on the spot, leaving deep wounds.
A chill gathered in the air, the right side of Modosos's head was raised high, and a blizzard condensed in the dark mouth.
At the same time, a clear jet trajectory was outlined in everyone's mind. Galadia predicted Modosos's spit and informed everyone of the jet's trajectory.
"dodge!"
Everyone ran towards the right side of Modosos, and the frost storm swept through the place where they stood, leaving a certain ice path.
"Continue to attack!" This time it was Rana who faced the enemy. He waved his swords to restrain the head on the right side, buying time for his companions to maneuver.
The left head of Modosus could not reach the humans running around, and it was raised high and began to brew flames.
Sonia had retreated to a distance, closely watching the movements of this giant beast. When she saw the flames flowing, she waved her wand: "Expand Arcane Configuration 19, counterattack!"
Judging from the available information, this monster does not have strong magic resistance, and the magic spell will have excellent control capabilities.
The terrifying lava-like fire flow was blocked in the ferocious mouth. Modosos's flame breathing was suddenly interrupted, and he even lost the ability to use magic of the same attribute in a short period of time. Its left head shook violently, spitting out the magma in its mouth like vomiting.
Under successive heavy blows, Modosus gave up his magic attack and pounced at him with three heads at the same time. Griffith, Lana and Fiona immediately rushed forward to resist its attack with shields, anti-swords and magic shields.
Modosos is huge and terrifying, but it is not very powerful as it is accustomed to magic attacks. For a while, it was even unable to break Fiona's defense.
It finally fell into a rage, and its golden vertical pupils suddenly bloomed with a captivating light.
"Garadia, are you ready for your invincible full blow?" Griffith noticed this strange threat and shouted hurriedly. The brief stalemate just now bought some time, and Galadia should have taken the opportunity to complete the preparations for casting the spell.
As long as Galadia launches an attack...
“Quah!
"Quack~"
The elf girl didn't answer him. Where she stood, a frog was hopping at the feet of a stunned Sonia.
