The powerful existence hidden underground takes action. Under the pressure of this will, the human infantry's defense line was also in chaos.
A soldier fired a shot at the attacking insect, shattering its head. He raised his bayonet and was about to stab the struggling torso when he was stabbed by the sharp claws of another insect rushing from the side. They penetrated each other and were quickly torn into pieces by the crazy giant insects around them.
Griffith was only a stone's throw away from Lordes, but the crazy storm in the air made this short distance as close as a chasm.
Although the Arcane Council and their agents have plans that are very likely to be detrimental to Griffith, the situation has clearly turned into a three-way struggle. If the will of the underground is allowed to defeat the wizard, Griffith will have to face a being who is likely to be a demigod alone.
Balance must be maintained!
The war knight's psychic energy roared, forming fierce thunder in the ground. This psychic energy even manifested itself as red lightning falling down, lashing out around Professor Lordes.
In the vast darkness, Amber and the other Extraordinary people only felt an indescribable heavy oppression, and then, blood-red terrifying lightning flashed in the strong wind!
The high-level wizard who was under heavy pressure suddenly suffocated. The extraordinary characteristics of the spellbreaker interrupted his chanting, but it also made the invisible pressure shrink for a moment in surprise.
Griffith's psychic energy quickly converged and he retreated from the two opposing forces.
Lordes, as the leader of this assault force, was strong enough to break free from the oppression. His strength was far greater than before, and he even cast a meaningful look at Griffith, then chanted a high-speed mantra, pointed at a surging dark vortex in the air, and raised the wand in his hand.
A powerful magic power as vast as the starry sky caused an explosion of matter, entangled with the dark vortex.
"Evil, go back to the void!"
It was as if thousands of threads of silk were being torn simultaneously in the air. As Griffith and Lordes joined forces to resist, the powerful will from the darkness also screamed.
Its powerful body has not come here, and the pressure that relies solely on will has its limit.
“Well…you’re very bold, human…
"Also very clever...
"Chizen Iza, the ancient blood god has been waiting for many years, and will continue to wait for you to go to eternity..."
This invisible strong man simply let out a burst of empty echo and gradually faded away. At the same time, the overwhelming tide of insects a few minutes ago also retreated into the darkness. Outside of the insect swarm, some of the monsters that had just attacked Griffith suddenly disappeared.
The battle in the underground temple suddenly subsided, leaving only a few moans of the wounded echoing lowly.
"What is that? It's very powerful..." Griffith turned around and asked Amber for her opinion.
"Hey, as expected of you!" Before Griffith said anything, Amber jumped over happily, "You and the wizard defeated a demigod!"
Demigod, repel? Well, if you look at it this way... Griffith doesn't feel that the being who calls himself the Blood God has been damaged in any way. But everyone else was just as excited as Amber.
Osiris clenched his fists and shouted: "This must be the power Commodus is trying to find. I can't mistake this breath and pressure. This is the ancient demigod hiding in the temple! Its personality, let's think about it again This ruins may very well contain the authority left behind by a certain sacrifice of the Chosen One!"
"Its power can enhance the Hand of God," Jeremia also echoed, "Its body may have collapsed long ago, leaving only a broken soul bound here. This is how little we know about this creature with demigod strength. s reason."
"Its lair has been exposed," the silent clown pointed towards a tunnel, "it can't escape."
Lordes, the commander of the extraordinary commando team, looked very unhappy. The confrontation just now consumed a lot of his magic power and physical strength. However, there are several supernatural beings and many extraordinary beings around him, so it seems not difficult to hunt down the demigod who only has his will left.
"Pursue," Lourdes made his judgment. "Since it is coming to you regardless of life or death, then don't leave. Mr. Flag Captain, please lead some people to pursue it. I will be there soon."
"Yes, let's go and seize all the ancient secrets in the lair!" Bishop Osiris said.
Upon hearing the words "ancient" and "secret", the entire team's eyes and breathing changed. Considering that the insect tide has just retreated, it is normal to pursue and destroy them to avoid being harassed again. In addition, there may be some additional benefits to be found, so the extraordinary commando team is active from top to bottom.
Griffith didn't express his opinion, but he didn't object either. After leaving a portion of the manpower to guard Lordes' recovery, the others advanced several kilometers down the tunnel.
There are tangled bugs everywhere along the way, and you can even find civil strife among them, attacking the same kind crazily. Even when humans passed by nearby, these bugs did not pounce on them.
As an investigator, Amber was familiar with this situation and explained: "Once the superior will that dominates the insect swarm is loosened, there will be civil strife within the group, splitting into multiple small insect nests, or a new ruler will be decided."
Soon, they entered a giant cave again.
The clown seemed to have found some traces, pointed at a place and said:
"There's a big guy down here."
The Extraordinaries and soldiers present took action according to the Extraordinary's instructions, and soon dug out a large hole with the engineering shovels in their hands.
Griffith was alert to the surroundings and found that there were no bugs here. Some kind of aura entrenched here prevented them from approaching. Above the head is a towering dome and darkness that cannot be seen. There is a huge crack in the ground not far away. It is so deep that it is unknown where it leads, and people dare not approach it.
There seemed to be bats flapping their wings there, making a slight sound.
"Bang!"
The soldier's shovel hit something and made a muffled sound. They immediately extended the excavation pit in all directions, and before long, what was buried underground was revealed.
A giant skull!
The bones were so big that even a southern war elephant could easily swallow them. There are jagged undulations on the gray bones, and the big snake-like lizard-like mouth is densely covered with fangs, and the ferocity is ready to come out.
This is the skull of some kind of giant snake. The Extraordinary who went up to inspect it saw this huge skeleton, and the empty eye sockets were faintly flashing with unspeakable illusory fire, which made people fall into fits of madness and confusion.
Such a giant is more dangerous than the alien dragon in the southern jungle. It was unknown how many years it had been buried underground, and its flesh and skin had long since withered and withered, but the barbaric and ferocious aura remaining in the bones still made people feel uncontrollably frightened.
If this thing were still alive and in its prime, what a powerful monster it would be. Even a look or a breath is enough to arouse the instinctive fear of human beings.
This is an ancient monster! The horror at the height of mystery!
Griffith didn't recognize this thing, but he clearly understood that if what had just arrived was a will with a complete body, it would definitely not be something that he and Lourdes, the two extraordinary beings, could compete with.
"Is this a snake?" Bishop Osiris asked.
"To be precise, it is an ancient flying snake." Amber looked at the skull for a long time and expressed his judgment. "Its body is still buried underground, but the bulges on the back half of the skull are connected to the wings. According to records, The ancient flying snake is a mythical creature on the same level as the dragon and Behemoth. It uses its extremely long throat to prey on elephants and rhinos, and the poisonous cloud it spits out can kill people in a town."
"The era of these ancient monsters has long passed," the bishop chuckled. "Come on, boys, since this thing's will can drive away swarms of insects, it must also have the characteristics of an Extraordinary to gather spiritual energy. This is what we are looking for. s things!"
The Beyonders and soldiers continued to dig. Amber was also curious and wanted to help. However, Griffith took her arm and retreated further away.
Such an important biological nest, without the active attack of the insect swarm, we would not have found it easily. It is as if we were guided here...
Griffith felt wrong. He turned his head and saw an indescribable feeling in Bishop Osiris's eyes, which was mixed with shock and ecstasy, and was quickly covered up by a forced calmness. However, it was still captured by Griffith's eyes.
This guy knows what this is...
At this moment, a pinprick-like sense of crisis suddenly came. Griffith and Amber, who were standing side by side, turned their gazes at the same time and saw Jeremiah, the "Sword Master" who was watching nearby, suddenly raised his head. He was mumbling something, as if he was talking to someone.
The two swords in his hands sparkled like gems in the dim light, and the blue sword light suddenly swept towards Amber without warning.
"clang!"
Amber subconsciously raised her head to block it. The adamantine gauntlet blocked the approaching sword edge, making her jump back in shock.
"What's going on?" Bishop Osiris exclaimed.
At this moment, Griffith found that his vision suddenly became hazy. The sword master in front of him is like an oil painting immersed in water, rippling with the waves, and then it will completely melt and disappear in a ripple!
"Time waits for no one, then there is no need to hide your strength..."
Jeremiah's voice also became ethereal. His face faded, revealing messy light yellow fluffy curly hair and handsome appearance, and the temperament between his eyebrows became as lazy, dissipated and elegant as a cheetah:
"Nice to see you again, Level 2 Captain."
Griffith instantly remembered this person's name - Lanthanis.
He once fought against Griffith during the Verona Rebellion, and his true identity was a spy for the Senate.
After the last word was spoken, everyone present was immersed in a confused glare at this moment! It felt like being suddenly hit by dazzling sunlight in the dark! After his eyesight recovered, the crypt in front of him was still a crypt, the commandos were still surrounding the skeleton, and everything around him had not changed. The only difference was that there were four Lancenis holding double swords in front of him!
In front of Griffith, Amber, Joker and Osiris, there was a Lanthanis! !
Four sword masters armed with sharp double blades!
They raised their heads together and said to the darkness above their heads:
"Son of the Night, take action!"
