Volume Three Blood and Fire Chapter 191 Difficulty
When entering the gate of the ancient tunnel, the stone door with the magical seal of the high elves stumped Sanguinius and others. There was no magician among them who could break the seal, so they could only use violent means to break the door.
However, the tentacle monster in the lake did not attack Sanguinius and the others because Eloth had already severely wounded it.
The tentacle monster lurking in the lake sensed the strong sacred aura coming from Sanguinius and others, so it lurked at the bottom of the lake and did not dare to emerge.
However, Sanguinius had already discovered that there were a large number of alien dark creatures under the lake. He was already blocked by the stone gate and was in a bad mood, so he launched a purification of the lake.
In this valley, a ball of holy light gradually lit up.
This ball of holy light is getting brighter and brighter, gradually illuminating the surroundings. Even if they are far apart, the dark elves lurking in the distance can clearly feel the power of that ball of holy light.
Two more groups of holy light slowly lit up, forming a "pin" shape with the first group of holy light. These three groups of holy light gradually increased in power and slowly spread to the surroundings.
Countless small, mist-like dark creatures cried out and fled from their hiding places, quickly dispersing in all directions, but in the end they could not escape the speed of the holy light and disappeared into ashes.
Among them was the tentacle monster at the bottom of the lake. It could not leave the bottom of the lake, so it was reduced to ashes in the boiling lake water.
After the howling of ghosts and wolves, the area around the valley temporarily returned to silence.
After a while, the entire valley slowly lit up, like a sun rising in the dark night, and a ray of holy light slowly rose from the horizon!
It's so hot and huge!
The light it emits is like substance. In the distance, a water line composed of holy light appears and begins to cleanse the entire valley.
More than ten strands of black mist emerged again and began to run away with all their strength in the opposite direction from where the holy light was coming.
These black mist are dark elves who are good at lurking. As soon as they appeared, the speed of the holy light suddenly accelerated several times, crossing the entire valley in an instant.
Except for three strong dark elves who ran away early when the opportunity arose, the rest were all involved in the Holy Light!
The dying screams of dark creatures are like sweet carols, which make the Holy Knights and Templars feel happy. What they like most is to torture these dark creatures that are not even heretics.
The tide of holy light passed quickly, but the fear of the three dark elves who were lucky enough to escape only increased.
They were not afraid of the holy light like the rising sun, but the being behind the holy light, Sanguinius.
It's like a black hole there, you can't feel anything, as if nothing exists.
But the dark elves know that there is an absolutely terrifying existence there!
Even the most intense holy light cannot throw light into its range.
This is an instinctive fear that comes from the depths of the soul!
The valley slowly dimmed, and everything gradually returned to its original appearance.
Almost all the dark creatures around the entire valley have been driven out. Now this place is a pure land, and no dark creatures will set foot there again in a short time.
Sanguinius, who had cast such a large-scale purification spell, was also a little tired at the moment. After a short rest, he set out to remove the seal of the stone gate.
Sacred impact spells were continuously released towards the stone gate, shaking the magic seal of the stone gate to the point of collapse.
Finally, after performing no less than thirty sacred impacts, there was a sudden loud bang on the stone door, a blue magical light poured out, and then disappeared.
The magic seal was violently destroyed.
Sanguinius released the sacred chain, which penetrated into the soil under the stone door like a snake, entangled the stone door, and then called on everyone to pull the sacred chain together.
As several holy knights and templar warriors continued to wrestle with the stone gate, the stone gate shook and suddenly spewed out a ball of orange-red fireball!
It turned out to be a double magic seal. What Sanguinius destroyed just now was only the seal that opened the stone door, and this red seal strengthened and aggravated the stone door.
The magic seal left by the ancient high elf great magician came into conflict with the powerful men of the Holy Church.
But the ancient magic seal is no match for these powerful men.
After the powerful men of the Holy Church exerted their strength more than ten times, the huge stone gate finally slowly collapsed, and a lot of the stones above the stone gate also collapsed.
Sanguinius snorted, looked at the dark and deep tunnel, and finally walked slowly into it.
Sanguinius seemed to be walking in front easily, but in fact he was extremely alert, scanning the surrounding environment with his divine perception.
No creature can hide from his perception.
He slowly opened a door and led everyone into a large, empty room.
Sanguinius suddenly reached out and pointed at the corner of the wall, then flew out and threw several purification spells. More than ten small light gray monsters suddenly appeared. They screamed and rolled all over the ground, trying to attack the holy fire burning on their bodies.
But after struggling for a while, there was no sound at all and turned into ashes.
Elos pointed toward the ceiling again and released another wave of flames composed of holy fire.
Then there were bursts of shrill screams from the high ceiling, and dozens of huge green bats were on fire and fell one by one.
Sanguinius stood quietly in front of a stone door for a moment, then stretched out his hand and pointed three meters away from the door. This was a space that Elos and others had not discovered.
The two holy knights rushed forward, swung their giant hammers, and smashed them hard against the stone wall. Amidst the flying smoke and dust, a large one-meter-square hole was smashed into the wall, and a loud squeaking sound came from the stone chamber.
Sanguinius paid no attention to what kind of monster was in the stone chamber. He waved his hand, and one after another purification spells were generated in his hands and thrown into the stone chamber.
Waves of flames repeatedly plowed through every inch of space in the stone chamber, and even the caves on the walls sprayed tongues of fire more than one meter long.
After seven or eight purification spells, the stone room finally became quiet.
After the smoke and dust dispersed, Sanguinius entered the stone chamber. A charred corpse as tall as half a man was lying on the floor. It looked like it was a goblin. The four walls of the stone chamber were covered with weapon racks and rusty weapons.
Traces of weapons.
Sanguinius Rogg's preparations this time are not complete. He lacks the most critical person who is good at stealth investigation, the scout.
However, Sanguinius relied on his strength and was arrogant, so he naturally needed to wait for scouts and directly explore the tunnel.
It's just that unlike Elos, his extraordinary perception can also detect the complex topography in the tunnel to find the best route.
Sanguinius's divine perception spell can only perceive the existence of living creatures, so in the complex ancient tunnels, he can only rely on finding dark creatures to move forward. After all, as long as there are living creatures, there will be a way to enter.
.
After going back and forth and spending most of the day, Sanguinius and the others finally approached the center of the ancient tunnel.
There are more dark creatures here and they are more powerful. Most of them are goblins and kobolds, and there are also a small number of large goblins.
What troubled Sanguinius the most was that although these dark creatures were weak, there were too many of them. He really didn't know how Eloth could get through this tunnel.
After taking a short rest, Sanguinius led his men into a hall while avoiding the harassment of goblins.
There are countless stone statues in this hall with a radius of nearly 1,000 meters. Sanguinius knew that these stone statues would turn into monster gargoyles, so as soon as they entered the hall, all the Holy Knights and Templars came under Sanguinius's command.
Get down, rush forward at full speed, raise the weapon strengthened by Sanguinius' holy light and swing it down.
Amidst the roaring sound, more than ten stone statues were smashed to pieces before they could be activated.
But there are still nearly a hundred stone statues that have been successfully revitalized.
No matter how many gargoyles there were, Sanguinius didn't care. He reached out and took the long sword handed over by his subordinates, and walked towards the densely packed gargoyles.
A gargoyle screamed and rushed towards him. Sanguinius roared, and with a strange whistling sound, the sword in his hand turned into a ray of golden light and slashed at the gargoyle!
Sanguinius' smile suddenly froze!
His sword with all his strength only penetrated a little more than a foot deep, but failed to cut the seemingly thin gargoyle in half!
Although he is only a priest and not good at close combat, the power of his sword is not something that anyone can resist.
