Game of the World Tree - Chapter 745

745. Chapter 742 The Ambush of the Abyss Myth!
Black clouds rolled continuously, and pale white lightning flashed from time to time.
On the hillside, a towering demon fortress stood tall, surrounded by patrolling demon armies.
They formed teams of ten, holding torches, and wandered around the fortress.
Outside the fortress, behind a huge rock under the hillside.
Several demons were hiding behind the boulder and looking around.
They were wearing demon-style armor made of the scales of the Abyss Scaled Beast, exuding a strong evil aura. Their bodies were relatively petite among demons, but they looked very tall.
They didn’t look like the demons that evolved from the Abyss Mother Nest, but rather like some demons that were transformed from sub-human creatures in the material world.
The demon in the front glanced at the fortress on the hillside, turned around and said to his companions:
“Everyone, the demon fortress in the big sister mission is in front.”
After that, he looked at one of the demons and asked:
“Cyber, what should we do next?”
The demon who was called was silent for a few seconds, as if checking something, and then said:
“Brother Mu, the mission has been updated… It is to sneak into the fortress, find the door to the plane, and then cover at least one player to successfully enter, and don’t be discovered throughout the whole process.”
“What if you are discovered?”
“Then the reward will be halved, and also, tear open the golden scroll given by the big sister.”
Cyber said.
After saying that, he thought for a moment, glanced at the other demons behind him, and said to the leading demon:
“Brother Mu, we are going to sneak into the fortress. You should be the one to command from now on. I have not led a group much, and I am afraid something might go wrong.”
The leading demon listened, thought for a while, and then exhaled:
“Okay then…”
After saying that, he looked at the others:
“Everyone, check your equipment carefully, don’t reveal any flaws, and also… see how long the magic of camouflage breath will last. If it is not enough, I have a few scrolls of camouflage breath given by the big sister.”
After hearing his words, the other demons nodded and began to check their bodies.
A demon took off the hideous helmet on his head, revealing a sweaty face.
It was not a demon, but an elf.
However, the breath seemed to be covered by some magic, disguised as a demon.
He fanned himself and stuck out his tongue:
“Ha… This demon’s armor is so hot, it’s suffocating me. I’m so tired after running all the way.”
The leading demon frowned and looked at him, saying:
“Put on your helmet, Dema, don’t make any mistakes at the critical moment.”
“Uh… OK, Brother Mu.”
The scolded “demon” put on his helmet awkwardly.
“Okay, everyone take a break first, recharge your energy, and then we will continue to move forward.”
The leading demon retracted his gaze and said.
After speaking, the group sat down and began to rest, drinking water and checking their equipment.
The elves who sneaked into the vicinity of the fortress were none other than the players who received the mission from Eve.
After a day of desperate running, they finally arrived at the mission location.
And now, the exploration mission is about to begin.
After a short rest, the players adjusted their status to the best.
“Are you ready?”
Li Mu asked.
The other nine people nodded.
“Then let’s go, let’s follow the other demons and sneak in from the main gate…”
Li Mu said.
“The main gate? Is there no other way?”
asked Xiao Xian Miao.
“I’m afraid not. I observed that the fortress is very heavily guarded.”
Li Mu shook his head.
Then, he changed the subject:
“But… the patrol teams are all ten-man teams, and no one checked when entering the fortress. I think we can also pretend to be a patrol team.”
“No wonder Ling insisted that we form a ten-man team.”
Zhu Zhu nodded thoughtfully.
“Okay, let’s go! I’ll lead the way, and those with higher combat power will walk behind me, in order to prevent emergencies… Wait! Miao Miao, don’t come up! You walk behind, let Hefan and Dema walk in front.”
Li Mu said.
“Tsk… My combat power is the first among mages…”
Xiao Xian Miao complained.
But in the end, she still walked to the back of the team honestly.
High output does not mean strong reaction ability in battle.
“And… Dema, you must not commit suicide.”
Li Mu reminded someone again.
Demacia was somewhat resentful:
“Don’t worry, Brother Mu, am I really that untrustworthy?”
“Not worthy.”
Zhu Zhu and Xiao Xian Miao said in unison.
Demacia: …
“Puff…”
Looking at the bickering big guys in the server, Cyber couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
“Okay, be quiet from now on. If you have something to say, type in the chat box, don’t talk.”
Li Mu said.
The other players nodded one after another.
Then the group followed the example of other demon patrols, lit torches made of grease and devil vines, and walked towards the fortress.
As they approached the fortress, more and more demon patrols appeared nearby, and the players’ attention became more and more focused, and at the same time, they became more and more uneasy.
However, what made everyone feel fortunate was that the disguise technique from the big sister was really powerful. Until they swaggered to the door of the fortress, they were not stopped by the demons.
At the door of the fortress stood two tall demons guarding the gate, and they exuded an aura that made several people feel terrified.
These were two demons with strength reaching the gold level.
A demon of this strength was already a demon lord in the minds of several people, but here he was just a goalkeeper.
After seeing the group of people, two tall demons instantly cast their sights over.
Locked by the powerful aura, the players’ nerves were stretched to the limit in an instant, ready to fight or run away at any time.
However, the demons just glanced at them and retracted their gazes without interest.
The players breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.
“Passed! You can sneak in now, everyone be vigilant and don’t be exposed!”
Li Mu typed.
Then, he took nine people and officially sneaked into the fortress…
Entering the tall walls of the fortress, the vision suddenly opened up.
What came into view was a demon tent, and demons could be seen coming in and out from time to time.
And farther away, in the center surrounded by the tents, there were pieces of meat composed of black and red tumors and dendritic membranes that flickered and flashed dark red light, and the tumor in the center was beating like a heart.
From time to time, you can see abyss worms being spewed out by the “heart”, collected by the inferior demons, and then taken to a huge deep pit on the side.
There were several huge pits. Players even saw some inferior demons with slime all over their bodies crawling out of them, and then being driven into another pit by some big demons.
“Abyss Mother Nest…”
Hefan typed in the chat channel.
Seeing his message, everyone was shocked.
The Abyss Mother Nest is a “machine” for producing demons, which can produce a large number of Abyss worms.
The Abyss worms devour each other and evolve into low-level small demons, that is, inferior demons, with strength at the Black Iron level. The inferior demons
continue to devour each other and will evolve into big demons with silver strength.
Big demons are the main force of the demon army.
This… is one of the main ways for the Abyss to replenish the blood of the demon army.
After playing for so long, players have long known this information. There is no doubt that the fortress in front of them is the base for the demons to produce a large army.
“Cyber, share the location of the mission.”
Li Mu typed.
“Okay.”
Cyber controlled the game system.
Looking at the highlighted location on the small map, Li Mu nodded secretly, and then led the team to continue to move forward carefully.
The few of them were lucky. There were quite a few demons patrolling in the fortress, and they were all operating in units of ten.
That was why their disguise did not attract much attention.
After bypassing several abyssal nests, they finally came to the highlighted location on the map.
It was a rotating plane gate.
From time to time, you could see demons with strong auras walking out of it.
There were no demons guarding the plane gate, but there was a three-headed dog of hell with a black body, lying beside the plane gate, snoring.
With its breath, you could see red sparks constantly spraying out of its nostrils, and the terrifying and powerful pressure made every demon passing by unconsciously become cautious, looking at it with fear.
Feeling the terrifying pressure that made people unable to have the slightest thought of resistance, the players’ hearts were raised to their throats.
Abyss myth…
Such a thought came to their minds at the same time.
“Cyber, there are too many plane gates here, which one is it talking about in the mission?”
Li Mu typed.
Cyber swallowed his saliva and marked the target on the small map.
Looking at the target he marked, everyone felt their scalps tingling.
The marked plane gate was none other than the one closest to the hell three-headed dog that was dozens of meters tall.
It was right under him.
“Oh my god… I knew this mission couldn’t be that simple.”
Demacia complained in the chat channel.
Li Mu looked at the sleeping three-headed dog, and then looked at the other players.
After a moment of silence, he typed:
“Everyone, approach carefully, don’t wake him up.”
“When we get close to the plane gate, I’ll say jump, then don’t hesitate, jump in directly!”
“Xiao Xian Miao, take the golden scroll given by the big sister, and tear it up immediately if we are discovered.”
The players typed “OK” expressions in the chat channel, and then followed Li Mu and continued to approach carefully.
They tiptoed, their hearts pounding with the breathing of the three-headed dog of hell.
However, the good luck along the way finally came to an end.
“Hey! You guys! Why don’t you patrol properly! Go and disturb Lord Sebrus?!” (Demon language)
Behind them, there was a roar of a demon.
I saw a demon lord standing more than 200 meters away, looking at everyone with unfriendly eyes.
The next second, the snoring of the three-headed dog of hell stopped.
Damn!
This thought came to several people at the same time.
“Run! Dash and jump into the plane gate!”
Li Mu stopped typing and spoke quickly.
After speaking, the players did not hesitate and ran towards the plane gate under the three-headed dog.
However, before they could get close to the plane gate, the three-headed dog of hell opened its eyes.
Three pairs of scarlet eyes looked at the players. In an instant, several players felt an extremely evil aura locking on them, and an unprecedented fear arose in their hearts.
This fear was so real that even the lunch box with the strongest psychological ability stopped running.
They… couldn’t move.
It was not physical control, but fear.
[Fear shock]
“Roar–!”
The three-headed dog of hell roared at them, and the fishy breath spewed out of its mouth, almost suffocating several people…
A cold light flashed in the eyes of the three-headed dog, waving its claws and slapping at everyone.
There is no escape!
Such a thought came to the minds of the players.
“Xiao Xian Miao!”
Li Mu trembled and roared.
Xiao Xian Miao gritted his teeth and struggled to tear the golden scroll in his hand.
The golden light bloomed in the scroll, and then, before the huge claws of the hellhound could hit it, a white arm suddenly blocked it from the depths of the void…
There was not much holy light, nor were there any fancy special effects like before.
In the players’ astonished eyes, the void in front of them twisted and a beautiful figure emerged.
Demacia’s eyes instantly widened and her mouth opened into an “O” shape:
“Fuck… Goddess?” The
one who appeared in front of the players was none other than the goddess of life, Eve, who was dressed in divine clothes.
And this time, his appearance was unprecedentedly low-key.
He lightly tapped the claws of the hellhound, and a faint ripple spread out, and the body of the three-headed dog stiffened instantly.
A trace of red light flashed across the hellhound, which was the withered heart activated by Eve.
The next second, this abyss myth actually trembled slightly and turned directly into ashes.
At this time, most of the demons in the fortress had not noticed what was happening here. Only the demon lord not far away had his eyes wide open and looked terrified.
Instant kill…
The players were refreshed.
However, before they could catch their breath, thirteen powerful auras suddenly rose from all directions of the fortress.
In the shocked eyes of the players, one after another appeared in the sky, and their auras were more terrifying than the three-headed dog of hell that was just killed by the goddess…
They formed a circle and surrounded the entire demon fortress.
The dark power of the abyss continued to gather, dyeing the dark clouds in the sky into ink.
Looking at the more than ten abyss myths that suddenly appeared around, Eve’s expression was not panicked at all.
He did not hesitate, while he used a divine power to throw several players into the plane gate, and summoned the reversal gate to escape.
However, after the summoning, the reversal gate that appeared in front of him did not successfully open the space channel.
At the same time, those players who were thrown into the plane gate by him actually fell out again.
The rotating plane gate suddenly shattered and turned into nothingness.
Seeing this scene, Eve frowned slightly.
The next moment, four purple light pillars shot up into the sky, forming a huge cage that enveloped the entire demon fortress.
Then, the most powerful of the thirteen auras came out.
An octopus-like head, blue-black scales, and a wide robe…
It was Leviathan, the abyss demon god with powerful divine power.
However, the aura on his body was not so strong that it made people despair.
It was obvious that he came here not as his original body, but as an incarnation.
But even so, he had the power of the peak of medium divine power.
He sneered at the beautiful figure surrounded and said,
“Your Majesty the Goddess of Life, we finally meet.”
“How about this gift we prepared, do you like it?”
Looking at the fifth demon god who dominated the third layer of hell, Eve’s expression gradually became solemn.
The worst situation finally happened.
This is really a conspiracy against him, and the other party has a way to seal the ability of the reversal gate!
Eve did not hesitate and instantly burned the divine power in her incarnation. The strength of the True God incarnation soared from the peak of weak divine power to the peak of medium divine power consistent with the original body!
This was a new ability that He had acquired after His soul was completely solidified and He inherited everything from His predecessor. It could temporarily increase the power of the incarnation to the same level as the original body.
Not only that, this True God incarnation could also have some kind of connection with His original body, and could borrow 30% of the original body’s divine power to a certain extent!
This was also the trump card that Eve knew might be a conspiracy, and she also planned to come and investigate.
Of course, there was a price to pay for exerting power like this.
The price is that the longer the peak power and weakened divine domain last, the greater the damage to the incarnation.
In the most serious case, it may even cause the incarnation to collapse directly.
But now, He can’t care about anything.
Eve’s divine power surged, and golden light bloomed. Light golden and light green photons flew, forming a sacred domain.
Within the domain, flowers bloomed and grass grew.
It was the weakened version of the divine domain of life and nature.
The double divine domain superposition, even the weakened version, is stronger than the average true god!
Feeling the powerful power of Him, a trace of fear flashed in the expressions of the dozen Abyss Myths who surrounded him.
Even Leviathan’s eyes floated with a touch of solemnity.
And this solemnity turned into shock and anger after Eve summoned the Sword of Damocles:
“Sword of Damocles?!”
Sword of Damocles!
As an ancient demon god, Leviathan also recognized this famous true artifact with the ability of [Absolute Severance].
Eve did not hesitate, swung the sword, and slashed at the four light pillars that formed the cage…
He could sense that it was this cage that was imprisoning the power of the Gate of Reversal!
As long as he cut off this cage, he could restart the Gate of Reversal.
The golden sword slashed down and hit the purple light pillar.
Then, the purple light pillar suddenly collapsed.
However, before Eve could breathe a sigh of relief, he saw a flash of mockery in Leviathan’s eyes.
Oops…
Eve’s heart sank slightly.
The next moment, the light pillar that Eve cut off suddenly exploded, and the other three light pillars also exploded at the same time.
The space suddenly twisted, and the exploded light pillars gathered in the center, forming a huge vortex above the fortress, sucking everything around it in…
Even Eve, because she was too close to the vortex, was directly dragged in.
A moment later, the world returned to peace.
At this moment, the demon fortress on the ground had disappeared.
What was left was only a terrifying giant pit with a radius of one kilometer.
“Your Majesty Leviathan, how is it? We have locked up the goddess of life with only the loss of some demons and a three-headed hellhound.”
An old voice sounded behind Leviathan.
Leviathan looked back at the other party and snorted:
“He is just locked up first. If we had acted together just now, maybe we could have kept him here.”
The old voice continued:
“But in that case, the seal will be difficult to maintain in the aftermath of the battle, and he will have a chance to break the seal and escape.”
“Even if we really win, how many myths here will be alive? Your Majesty Leviathan, you don’t want to lose too many people, right? After all… you still have to attack the world of Segos.”
“So… it is better to just seal the Goddess of Life in…”
“Once entering the world you sealed, all his artifacts will be ineffective, and he will become your prisoner.”
“If you destroy the source of his faith, he will completely become a sourceless water.”
“When his power is exhausted, you can easily take everything from him… you don’t even need to fight.”
“Moreover, his appearance can also impact the faith of those creatures you want to conquer…”
Hearing this, Leviathan’s expression gradually relaxed.
But soon, His brows slightly frowned again:
“What if He conquered the creatures in the plane?”
“Do you think it’s possible?”
The old voice asked back.
Leviathan chuckled and sneered:
“Of course it’s impossible. Just because He is in charge of the priesthood of life and nature, it’s impossible. Rather… I’m looking forward to what choice He will make after seeing his own people…”
As He said, He looked to the north.
There, it was the direction of the player’s base.
Leviathan’s eyes suddenly became ferocious:
“After waiting for so long, it’s time to launch an attack…”
