Chapter 164 Corpse Magic
"The commander of the army has gone out to patrol the island and has not said when he will be back. The magic circle here has been repaired. Please follow me back to the camp to rest."
Nonoia extended her hand to invite him in, and Jin Baili followed first.
But at this moment, a burst of fire suddenly appeared in the jungle in the distance, and a huge fireball rushed into the sky and smashed towards the abyss sea!
The sudden and loud noise startled the birds and beasts on the Nether Island, causing them to roar and fly away.
Nonoko, who was about to step onto the magic circle, looked back, stopped, and his expression suddenly changed.
"Someone has activated the legion's giant flame cannon magic array! Impossible! How can the giant flame cannon be fired without an order? Everyone, do as you please. I'll go back and take a look!"
After Nonokia finished speaking, he didn't wait for others to go up. He hurriedly activated the teleportation array and disappeared into the array.
The people in the remaining two teams looked at each other, not knowing what was going on.
"The flame cannon magic circle is the one we saw before!" Goda said, looking at the fire in the distance.
"Should we go check it out?" Ace asked.
"Our team wants to go and take a look. Master Lin Feng, we will not accompany you anymore!" Jin Baili snorted at Lin Feng, called a few teammates, and stood on the teleportation array.
As a flash of light appeared, Jin Baili's team disappeared.
The flame cannon magic array was activated for no reason, and judging from Nono's expression, it was obviously very unexpected.
Lin Feng cast his gaze towards the point where the giant flaming cannon landed. That place was already shrouded in the darkness of the abyss sea, and no scene could be seen clearly.
"No, it's still early. Let's go get some more points." Lin Feng looked into the distance, thinking in his heart.
"By the way, Brother Feng, the mice you released before haven't come back yet?" Ace asked at this time.
Lin Feng was also finding it strange. He had previously sent a mouse to find Franky. According to the mouse's sense of smell, it could find the other party even if they were thousands of miles away. But now the mouse was still motionless. Could it have been bitten?
After leaving Shadowmoon City, Lin Feng also signed a contract with the mouse, so he could always sense the general direction of the mouse, but as for its exact location, he was not sure.
However, the direction of the mouse was the same as that of the flame cannon magic circle, and now it seemed to be moving quickly in another direction.
"The mouse is fine. Let me go and help you guys with low scores get some points first." Lin Feng retracted his gaze and walked towards the teleportation array.
Several people followed Lin Feng's lead and did whatever Lin Feng said.
Time flies and another 15 hours have passed.
The location of the S2 Legion on Nether Island has also been discovered by more and more teams.
When Lin Feng's team came back from outside with points earned, there were already more than 2 teams participating in the assessment in the entire S500 Legion.
It seems that the existence of the S2 Legion is not a secret mechanism in this assessment, and the purpose of the assessment seems to be to allow the assessment team to participate in the upcoming Nether Island Battle.
Just as the S2 Legion was assigning tasks to each team, deep underground in Nether Island, two figures had been descending in the cold and damp soil, wrapped in magical energy, for nearly two days.
The two of them stopped only when they encountered an extremely hard piece of metal about the size of a room of more than ten square meters.
"Where is this? Is this Yaheng?"
Brady Xingyue placed his hand on the huge block of metal and looked at Gunara who was observing the block.
Ever since Gunara said that she could find S2 Legion Commander Yaheng, he followed Gunara all the way here. The more he came into contact with Gunara, the more he felt that Gunara had many secrets.
Including how the other party knew the assessment mechanism set up by the Magic Tower, how familiar he was with the Nether Island, and even what was underground hundreds or thousands of meters away, the other party seemed to have expected it.
"Who said we are here to find Yaheng?" At this time, Gunara curled the corners of her mouth, and her eyes changed from surprise to certainty in a short time.
But her words made Brady Xingyue feel like he was being fooled: "Didn't you say before that you would bring me to find Yaheng and help him kill the Lord of the Abyss!"
"That's what we said before, but now the plan has changed," Gunara said.
"What's changed? What do you want to do?" Brady Xingyue was a little annoyed. As a prince of the Xingyue Empire, he was led by the nose by a woman of unknown origin.
"Do you know about Nether Island?" Gunara asked, changing the subject.
"You're asking even though you already know the answer. Didn't you tell me that this is the Abyss Netherworld Island? What do you want?" Brady's temper gradually became worse.
Gunara was unmoved and continued, "It is rumored that the Abyss Demon Lord Azeri controls the ten islands and eight swamps east of the Abyss Sea. He has nine demigod-level Abyss Lords, 9 legendary Abyss Lords, and countless elite soldiers and generals under his command. This Nether Island is a sea fortress controlled by Azeri.
However, in the decades of fighting with the Abyss Army, only legendary Abyss Lords have appeared on the strategically important Nether Island, and the nine demigod-level Abyss Lords have never appeared. The Abyss Lord Azeri is well aware of the importance of this place, but why didn't he arrange a demigod-level Abyss Lord to take charge, but watched the island fall a year ago and didn't take it back? "
"Maybe Azri is afraid of the power of the Magic Legion. It is rumored that Azri was beaten half to death by a strong man from the Magic Tower a hundred years ago. He can't even take care of himself, so how can he care about this small island?" Brady said disdainfully.
"You are wrong. The geographical location of Nether Island is the best springboard for the Abyss Army to enter the Magic Continent. Azeri will not give up this place. Not long ago, we got some news that the body of a demigod-level Abyss Lord has always existed in Nether Island, and it has been sealed and its breath has been hidden. Therefore, the people of the Magic Legion have never found any trace of it." Gunara said.
Brady stared at Gunara in a daze, shocked by the information she said. At the same time, he felt creepy and his eyes involuntarily glanced at the block of metal.
"It's just a corpse, what's there to be afraid of?" Brady laughed awkwardly.
"You are wrong. Do you know what conditions are required for the Abyss Lord to be promoted to the Abyss Demon King?" Gunara asked.
"What are the requirements?"
"Need to become a god."
"Of course I know this. The Abyss Demon King is at the level of the God of Magic. What does this have to do with the corpse you mentioned?"
"The Abyss Demon Clan has a kind of magic called Corpse God Magic. If a demigod-level Abyss Lord wants to be promoted to an Abyss Demon King, he can do so through Corpse God Magic. Any Abyss Demon that uses Corpse God Magic on him will die completely for a long time, and when he is resurrected, he will be promoted to god-level."
"There is such magic?"
"Yes, but using the Corpse God Technique to become a god is not the orthodox way for the Abyss Demons to advance. This is an extremely dangerous Abyss Magic that Demigod-level Abyss Demons will choose to use when they have no hope of advancement. Once the body is destroyed during the death process, he will never be able to be resurrected; even if the Corpse God Technique succeeds and he is promoted to a god, his strength will never be able to advance any further."
"One more step? It's already good enough to become a god. Wait, you mean, there is a corpse of a demigod-level Abyss Lord inside this piece of metal?"
"Because it's a rumor, it may not be true. But now, I'm afraid we have found the box containing the body of the Abyss Lord." Gunara looked at the block of metal with an unfriendly tone.
Brady retracted his hand from the metal block and said, "What do you want to do? Our purpose is to conduct an assessment. How do you know there must be a corpse in there? If it's still alive, we're all finished!"
Gunara glanced at Brady with disdain. She didn't expect him to be so timid. She had already made it very clear, but he still hesitated.
"Don't you think about it, if we find this corpse and hand it over to the Magic Tower, then this assessment will be dispensable to us? Killing a demigod-level Abyss Lord completely is enough to be a great achievement in any magic legion!" Gunara said.
"Then we can tell the news directly to the Magic Legion and let them deal with the body!" Brady held a different idea.
"I didn't expect that the eldest prince of the Star-Moon Empire would be such a coward." Gunara's disdain grew stronger. "I've said before that this is the Nether Island in the time mirror one year ago. This body hasn't woken up in this year. Now that we open it, the body is still dead. There's nothing to worry about.
Besides, don't you want to know what else is sealed with the body? If the magic army intervenes, no matter what is inside, it will have nothing to do with you. "
Brady's eyes flickered, and he had to admit that Gunara's last sentence pierced him.
The reason why he came to participate in the assessment of the Magic Tower was mainly to get information about the last magic god of the Star-Moon Empire from the Magic Tower, and to tie the Star-Moon Empire to the Magic Tower. Regardless of whether the Magic Tower chooses to be neutral or not, he will always stand on the side of the Star-Moon Empire. Even if one day he has to choose between the two, he will quit the Magic Tower.
In this case, all the contributions he once made to the Magic Tower would become a thing of the past. Even if he gained benefits from it, the Magic Tower would not necessarily let him take it away.
At the moment, this block of metal is most likely the place where the demigod-level Abyss Lord is sealed. How could there be no good things in a place where the Abyss Lord is buried?
If the Magic Tower gets involved, then he will have no share in anything.
"What if we are discovered?" Brady couldn't help but be tempted, but still worried. This was an assessment under the nose of the Magic Tower, and he couldn't help feeling guilty about doing such a thing secretly.
"What are you afraid of? We haven't done anything bad. Besides, do you really think you're my only companion?"
"You have accomplices here?"
Brady became more and more curious about Gunara's identity, but Gunara gave him an inexpressible look and said nothing more.
After circling the metal block, Gunara stopped at a bulge.
She placed her hand on the bulge, and the dark magic element penetrated into the metal block. In a blink of an eye, countless black runes appeared on the metal block.
Gunara grinned, took out a golden cone from her body, and smashed it at the runes on the metal block.
The golden cone seemed to be able to destroy the runes on the surface of the metal block, but the dense runes required a lot of work, and Gunara got tired after a while.
She threw the golden cone to Brady: "Take turns!"
……
Second round of assessment, 20 hours remaining.
In more than two days, Lin Feng's team was not idle and raised everyone's points to 10 points.
Personal points:
Team points: ([No. 9941]:, [No. 9525]:, [No. 9526]:, [No. 9527]:, [No. 9940]:)
Team total points ranking: 1
With a total score of over 56, Lin Feng's team was far ahead in the second round of assessment.
He didn't know much about the current points rankings of other teams, but he knew that Jin Baili's team's points had not exceeded 5.
The 10-fold gap also temporarily put Lin Feng at ease.
"Brother Feng, the meat is ready, you can come and eat." At this time, Lin Feng and others were sitting on a high peak close to the coastline. From here they could see the situation of the abyss sea in the distance, and it was also a good place for camping.
Before Lin Feng sat down, Goda and Mirabelle strode to Ace's grill and started to feast on the food.
"Brother Ace, this tastes good today!"
"The Abyss is black, or it's because of the good ingredients."
"Reno, don't just stand there like an idiot, come and eat!"
"I will not eat."
Renault turned his head away, leaned against a tree and looked into the distance, but his Adam's apple gurgled up and down, betraying his true thoughts.
"It doesn't matter if he doesn't want to eat. We'll eat ours."
"By the way, no one has found the legion commander Yaheng yet. Where is he hiding?"
"Brother Feng, do you know?"
"do not know."
Lin Feng shook his head. The final battle of Nether Island was approaching, but no one had discovered Yaheng's hidden mechanism yet, and even he had no clue.
If no one finds Yaheng in the end, who will deal with the legendary Lord of the Abyss?
"Renault, what did you find out?" Lin Feng had been paying attention to Renault who was alone not far away, and noticed that the other party suddenly frowned.
"I have a feeling of uneasiness." Renault folded his hands, turned his head and said to Lin Feng.
Gotha walked over and said, "Stop talking nonsense and eat some skewers first!"
"I don't want to eat it." Renault took a look at the skewers of meat handed over by Gotha and turned his head away.
"Goda, don't give it to him if he doesn't want to eat. I also feel something is wrong. Eat it quickly. The army from the abyss may be coming soon." Lin Feng stood up.
Groups of birds and animals began to make sharp cries and flew into the air in fright from the woods.
At this moment, a deafening alarm suddenly sounded!
A huge magic barrier rose from the coastline, covering the entire island!
The voice of the magic army captain Nonokia spread throughout the island!
"The Abyss Army has been spotted 50 miles ahead! All units prepare for battle!"
