Heroes' Prison-Chapter 1460 - 1388: Hundreds of Demigods
Next, the group encountered multiple resurrected Divine Domain corpses in the swamp. Upholding the principle of traveling as quickly as possible, they avoided fighting unless necessary, and only fought when they had no other choice.
And so, three days passed.
During this time, aside from going offline to eat, drink, and take short breaks, they were mostly battling online. The other four teams were in the same situation.
On the third day, Huang Yi finally led his team out of the vast swamp, approaching their destination.
Ahead stood a towering high mountain, with the coordinates of the formation eye located within its belly.
In front of this mountain was a large flat area, where many giant corpses wandered, hunched and staggering.
Numerous skeleton dragons circled in the sky, their skin and flesh long decayed, leaving only their bones.
With such a dense group of monsters, brute force was the only way to break through.
"Everyone, form up and push through!" Huang Yi shouted loudly.
The group immediately changed their formation, with knights and warrior class players at the front, steadily advancing forward.
At this time, three troll corpses discovered the arrival of Huang Yi and the others, charging towards them rapidly.
The three troll corpses were burly and strong, their running causing the ground to tremble slightly, exuding an overwhelming aura, having possessed Divine Domain strength in life.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!" Dense spells and arrows flew towards the three troll corpses, completely engulfing them and slowing their advance.
Several heavily armored knight players charged towards the trolls on their high-rank mounts, forming a shield wall with their heavy shields to block their path.
The ranged class players at the back maintained a high-frequency attack, illuminating the area with various skill radiances.
"Woosh! Woosh! Woosh!" Just then, the sky suddenly darkened, and a strong gale blew from above!
A giant skeleton dragon swooped down from the sky, its massive wings blotting out the sun, its sinister frame flickering with a bloody glow.
"Swoosh~" Riding the Ink Kirin, Huang Yi soared into the sky towards the skeleton dragon like a black lightning bolt.
The skeleton dragon extended its massive claw, viciously aiming for Huang Yi!
But the Ink Kirin was faster, dodging the dragon’s claw with a flick of its body, slipping beneath the skeleton dragon’s wing and rising above it!
Huang Yi seized the moment, swinging the Wrath of the Godslayer down hard onto the skeleton dragon’s head!
"Boom~" A torrent of Divine Domain power poured out, crushing down on the skeleton dragon.
The skeleton dragon could no longer withstand it, plummeting towards the ground, desperately flapping its wings, trying to rise again.
The Ink Kirin leaped with all its might, crashing down with great force on the skeleton dragon’s back, pressing it further down!
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" Huang Yi repeatedly struck with the Wrath of the Godslayer, hacking heavily onto the skeleton dragon, producing a series of dull bone-shattering sounds, scattering fragments of bone in every direction.
"Boom!" Finally, the skeleton dragon could no longer withstand the continuous attacks, crashing down to the earth, with Huang Yi relentlessly pursuing, never allowing it to rise.
The skeleton dragon could only flail chaotically on the ground like a chicken, unable to pose any threat.
Some team members redirected their firepower, beginning to besiege the skeleton dragon, and after a series of attacks, its dragon head was cleaved off by Huang Yi, completely dead.
Meanwhile, the three trolls were also slain under the attacks of the skilled players.
...
Thus, the group slaughtered their way through, advancing until they finally reached the foot of the mountain.
"Look over there, there’s a cave!" At this moment, a sharp-eyed hunter player pointed to a spot halfway up the mountain.
The group immediately headed in that direction, indeed discovering a cave.
Around the cave were some destroyed trees, with relatively fresh breaks, suggesting they had fallen within the past few months.
Moreover, the cave did not seem naturally formed but rather forcibly carved out by someone.
"Someone’s been here before!" Seeing this scene, everyone speculated.
Huang Yi thought for a moment, then took out several Energy Stones, spending a few minutes to refill his Energy Value.
Then, he activated the Eye of Time, looking into the past of the cave’s region.
The time in this area began to flow backward, with past scenes rapidly coming into view, and after a period of rewinding, the people who carved out this cave finally appeared in the images—
Miyamoto Musashi and T.N.T.
This matched his previous speculations; indeed, Miyamoto Musashi and T.N.T had come to the Fallen God Continent and taken the five Heroic Auras.
"Let’s go in!" Huang Yi said, taking the lead to walk into the cave.
After walking some distance in the dark cave, the group entered a Stone Chamber. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂
This Stone Chamber was left by ancient times, connected by the newly excavated cave.
Within the Stone Chamber, a neat corridor continued deep into the mountain, with burning braziers hanging on the walls on either side, evidently placed there since ancient times.
The group continued along the ancient tunnel.
"Huff, huff, huff!" At that moment, a rhythmic breathing sound suddenly emanated from deep within the tunnel, heavy as bellows.
Everyone in the group was among the world’s top professionals, with incredibly high perception attributes. All could sense an extremely dangerous presence at the tunnel’s end!
Everyone gripped their weapons tightly, heightened their alertness to the utmost level, slowed their pace, and continued forward.
Gradually, the breathing grew heavier, sending chills up spines and causing goosebumps and palpitations.
The tunnel’s air began to flow faster; each inhalation of the sound pulled air toward the tomb’s depths, forming a gust of wind.
Each exhalation blew air from the tunnel’s depths, carrying a heavy stench of decay.
The air seemed to have been breathed by the malevolent presence at the tunnel’s end, thus acquiring a strong odor.
Yet the curving tunnel prevented sight of what lay at the end.
The group continued forward until they turned a corner and encountered a massive stone gate!
Above this stone gate, a line of bloody characters in universal language read—
"He who dares intrude through this gate—dies!"
Streams of blood flowed from the words, becoming terrifying bloodstains that warned off all intruders!
The stone gate wasn’t fully closed, instead leaving a half-meter gap that allowed the breathing-induced air circulation.
Peering through the gate crack, they saw a spacious underground hall filled with rows upon rows of soldiers, numbering in the hundreds.
Each soldier wore purple armor, with parts of bone visible. Those bones, pristine and of ivory-like texture, resisted the erosion of countless ages, seemingly sturdier than their armor.
More crucially, each soldier emitted a divine aura!
Hundreds of demigods assembled here, forming an army!
At the army’s end stood a massive throne, upon which sat a towering minotaur, akin to a small mountain.
Clad in hefty armor, the minotaur’s exposed arms were not white bones like the soldiers but rather covered in blood-red, purple skin.
Its hands gripped a massive long spear, grounded like a pillar supporting the ceiling, laden with rust and spiderwebs, untouched for countless years.
A thick helmet crowned its head, enveloping its skull, with two menacing bull horns protruding.
Swathed in steel armor, it exuded a warlike, ironclad aura, undoubtedly a victorious great general in ancient battles.
Regularly breathing, its mighty frame rose and fell rhythmically, emanating a powerful aura of oppression.
The breathing sound heard earlier came from it!
In harmony with its breathing, the demigod legion flawlessly marched, lined up, turned, and performed various maneuvers, flawlessly synchronized.
Its breathing seemed a military order that effortlessly commanded the demigod legion without a single spoken word.
This was a Void God!
Only a Void God could possess such boundless momentum!
Only a Void God could command this demigod legion!
"Damn it! This is a demigod army!"
"I’ve never seen such a grand scene in my life!"
"Oh my God! Why are hundreds of demigods gathered here?"
"So many divine domains! What’s the point of fighting?!"
...
The group marveled at the scene inside the Stone Chamber, exclaiming in astonishment.
Their party’s current strength wouldn’t last a minute in the hall, being utterly annihilated!
This was beyond any player’s ability to handle! Only the Hero Empire’s Guardians could contend with them. However, the System Prompt had earlier clarified that these resurrected corpses on the Fallen God Continent were immune to NPC attacks. Even if all the Hero Empire’s Guardians arrived, they would be of no use.
"God of Slaughter, what do we do now?" The Pope quietly asked Huang Yi beside him.
The others also fixed their eyes on Huang Yi, knowing none could handle the situation without him finding a solution.
After contemplating, Huang Yi realized that since Miyamoto Musashi and T.N.T had been here before, they must have crossed this hall, facing these demigod powerhouses!
How did they manage it back then?
Huang Yi reopened the Eye of Time, studying the hall’s past.
Soon, time reversed, returning to when Miyamoto Musashi and T.N.T had arrived, replaying their entrance into the hall!
