Heroes' Prison-Chapter 1466 - 1394: Pharaoh’s Crisis
Just at this moment, everyone suddenly received a distress message from Pharaoh.
Earlier, Pharaoh led another team to investigate the formation eye on the left leg of the Giant Formation.
They too had a very tough journey, encountering many resurrected Divine Domain corpses, but under Pharaoh’s leadership, they overcame all dangers without harm and finally reached the area where the formation eye was located today.
In that formation eye, they made some discoveries, but they didn’t have time to study them before an undead mage suddenly appeared.
The undead mage was extremely powerful and was a Void God in life, slaughtering most of the squad in just a few strikes, leaving only Pharaoh and a few others alive thanks to the Divine Artifact, the Bible of Faith.
However, they couldn’t completely escape, because that undead mage had already cursed them, and if they left a certain distance from the mage, they would automatically die.
So they had no choice but to send a distress message to Huang Yi and the others.
Huang Yi immediately replied: "Quickly lure that undead mage to me, I’ll help you deal with it!"
After receiving Huang Yi’s message, Pharaoh and others quickly withdrew from that formation eye and began to flee at full speed towards Huang Yi, with the undead mage hot on their heels.
Whenever the undead mage was about to catch up with them, Pharaoh’s Divine Artifact, the Bible of Faith, could always timely resist and slow down the mage’s speed.
Pharaoh and the others flew at full speed, only needing more than an hour to reach the formation eye where Huang Yi was located.
Previously, they spent several days to reach the formation eye area mainly because they encountered too many Divine Domain powerhouses on the way, wasting most of the time on combat.
Now with the undead mage chasing them, it also unintentionally exerted a daunting presence, forcing all Divine Domain powerhouses to clear the way and not dare to obstruct, allowing them to focus on rushing down the path.
After more than an hour, Pharaoh and others finally arrived at the mountain where Huang Yi was, entered the cave, and rushed along the tunnel, soon reaching the Stone Chamber where hundreds of Demigod Soldiers were.
Seeing so many demigods startled them!
"You all go into that Stone Chamber and shut the Stone Gate. I’ll deal with the undead mage here!" Huang Yi shook his massive Dragon Head and said to Pharaoh and the others.
Upon hearing Huang Yi’s voice, Pharaoh and the others calmed down, entered the Stone Chamber with the gigantic heart, met up with the Pope, Ganges, and others, and then closed the Stone Gate.
Soon after, the undead mage finally chased them into the hall.
In an instant, Huang Yi controlled hundreds of demigods to attack the undead mage, pouring out a torrent of divine power that engulfed the undead mage.
These demigods were resurrected corpses from the Fallen God Continent, unrestricted by the "NPC cannot deal damage" rule, capable of harming the undead mage.
The undead mage barely had time to react before being bombarded fiercely, but at the last moment, he activated a Magic Shield to block most of the attacks, only being blasted away without receiving fatal damage.
After the undead mage stood back up, he waved his hand, unleashing an endless barrage of massive hail over the entire hall, the temperature dropped to the extreme, greatly slowing down the movement of the hundreds of Demigod Soldiers.
His decaying eyes seemed to identify Huang Yi as the leader of the Demigod Soldiers, and he raised his hand to shoot a large Ice Spear towards Huang Yi!
Huang Yi flapped his Sun-Chasing Dragon’s Wings, his figure blinked elsewhere, dodging the Ice Spear.
Then he unleashed the formation ability of the Dark Demon Dragon—
"Formation Copy!"
This ability could duplicate any formation seen before, and now he replicated the formation just used by the Minotaur General.
Immediately, hundreds of Divine Domain Soldiers moved swiftly, forming the circular troop formation just witnessed.
A continuous stream of black aura surged from each soldier, reinforcing Huang Yi’s strength while forming a black barrier over him that blocked incoming damage!
From now on, Huang Yi was in an invincible state, as long as these soldiers didn’t die, he could maintain the black barrier, preventing the undead mage from killing him.
Thus, Huang Yi calmly controlled the hundreds of Demigod Soldiers in a war of attrition against the undead mage with the black barrier.
Meanwhile, the Kiss of Death Poison continuously secreted...
The team inside the stone chamber could only hear the earth-shaking sounds from outside the door, but they couldn’t see what was happening.
Half an hour later, all the commotion finally ended, and the stone gate opened once more, revealing the silhouette of Huang Yi.
The hall was in disarray, with the undead mage lying motionless on the ground. Additionally, dozens of demigod soldiers were scattered across the floor.
This undead mage was not a true void god but merely a resurrected corpse without the soul of a void god. Even if Huang Yi killed him, he couldn’t absorb his soul to upgrade the Sun-Chasing Dragon’s Wings. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖
"Thank you, God of Slaughter, for your rescue!" The Pharaoh stepped forward.
Huang Yi shook the massive dragon head and said in a rumbling voice, "No need for thanks! I didn’t do much; it was mainly due to the efforts of those hundreds of demigod soldiers."
"By the way! We discovered these things at the formation eye!" At this moment, the Pharaoh waved his hand, releasing a dozen white items from the storage ring, placing them on the ground.
They were some weathered skulls, covered with fine holes like sponges, but felt very hard to the touch.
"These skulls are extremely hard. Even when I attacked with all my might, I couldn’t break them! This indicates that their owner was undoubtedly a very powerful individual during their lifetime," the Pharaoh said, staring at the skulls.
"These skulls seem like they can be pieced together!" Just then, Qianye Fengwu, the head of the Hunter Hall from the Hero Guild, exclaimed in surprise as he began piecing the skulls together.
In no time, the dozen skulls were joined together, forming a segmented structure resembling a centipede.
"It’s a segment of a snake bone, specifically the tail part," Qianye Fengwu stated as he eyed the structure.
"To be more precise, it’s Nashash’s tail bone!" Huang Yi added.
"How do you know it’s Nashash and not the Nagas or some other snake-like creature?" the Pope asked.
Huang Yi stroked the snake bones, his fingers tracing over the fine holes, and explained, "To my knowledge, among all the snake races, only the Nagas and Nashash possess bones filled with such fine holes. Among them, Nashash’s tail is longer, with more bones, usually over ten pieces. The Nagas have shorter tails with fewer than eight bones. So this tail made of over ten pieces must belong to Nashash."
"Let me analyze this further! If it is Nashash, then it definitely contains the Kiss of Death poison within." At this point, Ganges stepped forward, taking out the previously concocted potion, pouring it over one of the bones, and then casting a few small spells to stick a sapling of the World Tree onto the bone.
The sapling’s roots immediately drilled into the bone through the small holes, deeply absorbing its contents.
Ganges watched the changing patterns on the sapling’s leaves closely.
After a while, he nodded, saying, "Indeed, the snake bones contain the Kiss of Death poison, and its intensity matches exactly with what I found in the heart just now, indicating it’s a deification level Kiss of Death. This shows that Nashash was a powerful being capable of divine enthronement during his lifetime! I suspect that Bloodhoof the Ascendant was killed by this Nashash, which is why Bloodhoof’s heart contains Nashash’s poison."
"It seems that Nashash and Lord Bloodhoof perished together? Otherwise, why would Nashash’s bones be here?" King Nitrel of the Crimson Sea Demon speculated.
The Pope nodded, "I guess that’s the case! Only someone like Bloodhoof the Ascendant could kill a Nashash capable of divine enthronement!"
"Wait, something’s off!" Suddenly, a player’s voice of confusion arose from the crowd.
Everyone quickly turned to look; the player who spoke was the one who had just extracted the sky-blue glass-like item from the massive heart.
His name was Liu Yi, a master from the Styx Sect Guild, an eccentric class player with a few peculiar experiences and mysterious techniques.
Liu Yi stepped forward, waved his hand to produce an odd semi-transparent glove, and donned it on his right hand.
Instantly, his right hand became semi-transparent, even revealing the blood vessels inside!
Then, Liu Yi’s gloved right hand slowly advanced, astonishingly penetrating into the snake bone, yet the bone left no opening, as if his hand was no longer hindered by physical matter, allowing it to enter and exit an object’s interior unhindered.
In no time, his hand retracted, and he drew out an object from the snake bone—
A sky-blue, glass-like thin shard.
"Huh? It’s the same thing again!" Everyone exclaimed in surprise.
Holding the sky-blue shard, Liu Yi said, "I just pulled out a similar shard from Bloodhoof’s heart. So, I suspect that Bloodhoof the Ascendant and Nashash weren’t killed together, but rather by these sky-blue shards!"
Huang Yi frowned, "If they were killed by these shards, then when the shard entered the snake bone, it surely would have cut a path to penetrate inside. But there’s no cut on this bone, so how did it get in?"
