After bypassing the Castle of the Undead, there was no longer any forest. Everywhere you could see were mountains of different shapes.
Feeling the calls, Elos felt suspicious.
I used to think that the call was made by the lich to lure strangers into his territory, but now it seems that it is obviously not the case. Couldn't the lich hear this sound?
What Iloth didn't know was that Les Frostwhisper had sensed it when he fled to the Central Mountains 300 years ago, but after transforming into a lich, his intuition of death and danger was very keen, far beyond that of ordinary people.
Although he was curious, after the lich smelled the smell of danger, after getting rid of the pursuit, he drove the undead army to build a castle not far away to study undead magic, and he did not want to find out for the time being.
After more than 200 years of research, the Lich decided to go to the human towns on the edge of the Central Mountains to harvest some souls first, and then go to the Land of Calling to explore after growing in strength after thinking that he was well prepared.
Everyone knows what happened next. After being severely injured by Handel, the favored son of heaven, he was severely injured again by his son Eloise 18 years later.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, Elos climbed to a peak in the central mountain range.
The calling sounds went from whispering in my ears to now as clear as someone speaking loudly.
There was a cave at the foot of the mountain, which was as large as a dragon's cave. Elos couldn't help but be more vigilant, lest a giant dragon or a large magical beast suddenly appear.
The answer may be right in front of you. It has been a long journey to get here, even if you have to brave the dragon's pond and the tiger's den.
Turning on his extraordinary perception, Elos plunged into the huge cave.
This cave seemed to have no end. After walking in the large cave for half a day, a majestic stone palace built in the mountain finally appeared in front of Elos. He didn’t know who left such a magnificent building in the mountain.
.
Rather than a palace, Elos feels more like an emperor's tomb.
Even the palace of the dwarf empire built underground is far different in style from this. The human empire cannot build its palace in the mountains.
Elos stood at the gate of the stone palace and looked up along the gate. He looked so small in front of the huge ten-meter-high stone gate.
In the center of the stone gate is carved a huge magic symbol with a radius of several meters. It is unknown which great magician left it. Its function is obviously to seal the stone gate.
It seems that the only way to get in is to break the seal, but magic is not what Ilosu is good at. Looking at this tall and thick stone door, Ilosu is also helpless.
He has scanned it with his extraordinary perception. This stone gate is several meters thick. Because of the seal, it can resist a considerable degree of damage. Just now, Elos gathered his fighting spirit and struck with all his strength, leaving only a shallow mark.
As for such a heavy stone gate that is protected by magic, only the legendary frost giants with infinite strength can push it.
While he was thinking hard, he heard a strange noise, and then noticed that the sound came from countless stone statues densely packed in the upper part of the huge space.
Just now, I focused all my attention on how to enter the stone gate. I thought these stone statues were ordinary carvings, but now it seems that it is not the case.
These stone statues all made a "click-click-click" sound, their bodies and limbs twisted slowly, and they held various weapons in their hands.
It turns out that this is the legendary alchemical creature-gargoyle.
After a while, these gargoyles came to life as if they were alive and jumped down from a height of tens of meters above the cave.
Hundreds of gargoyles crashed in front of Elos, causing a burst of smoke and dust.
These gargoyles are tall, more than 3 meters tall, with extremely vicious faces, their eyes are shining with blood-red light, and their whole body is shimmering like marble.
A gargoyle screamed and rushed towards him. The broken star in Elos's hand turned into a ray of blue light with a strange roar, and suddenly struck the gargoyle!
Eloise was a little surprised!
His sword with all his strength only penetrated more than a foot deep, but failed to cut the stone gargoyle in half! He looked carefully and found that these gargoyles all had faint golden stripes on their bodies. Iroh
Si knows that this kind of mutation will only occur when the alchemy creature becomes powerful enough.
Eloise slowly raised his head and looked at the pair of blood-red eyes in front of him, his face serious.
After killing several gargoyles one after another, Elos' face became increasingly ugly.
In terms of defensive characteristics alone, these gargoyles are simply chasing the dragons. Fortunately, their attack power is average and they have no special magic skills. However, their large number, teeth, and poisonous claws are enough to make up for their weakness in attack.
These gargoyles are just pure alchemical creatures and have no souls, so the power of Iloth's true name is of no use.
Fortunately, there are magic cores in the chests of these gargoyles. After turning on the power of the field to see the weaknesses, Iloth can kill a gargoyle with one sword.
After finding the weak point, these gargoyles were extremely easy to kill, but there were too many of them, and it took a lot of effort for Iloth to eliminate them all. The ground was covered with a large amount of rubble caused by the destruction of the gargoyles.
Just when Elos was about to continue studying how to open the stone door, a sudden change occurred.
A large amount of gravel on the ground disappeared, and the gargoyle carvings above the cave reappeared. The texture was even clearer than before, and the size was larger.
Continuously avoiding the gargoyles falling from the sky, Elos had an unpleasant premonition.
The gargoyle that was resurrected this time was not only larger in size and more powerful in combat, but also had a much stronger body defense. Even with the help of someone who had insight into its weaknesses, it would not be able to kill a gargoyle as easily as before.
After spending a lot of energy, this second wave of gargoyles was finally wiped out.
Looking at the rubble on the ground and above the cave, Elos was ready.
As expected, the third wave of gargoyles is being generated, and its strength is obviously stronger than the second wave.
Eloise no longer hesitated, turned around and ran towards the way he came.
It’s not that this third wave of gargoyles cannot be killed, but after killing them all, who knows whether they will be endlessly produced until they are consumed here.
This is obviously an alchemical protective circle. I don’t know what principle is used to produce unlimited gargoyles, and its strength is getting stronger and stronger. There must be a magic core operating, but the "law-blind" Iloth cannot find it.
The hidden core of magic.
These gargoyles moved relatively slowly, and Iloth was able to get rid of the pursuit after a while.
This time, Elos had a clear understanding. It seems that although he is a saint and can be called a genius at his age, he is not good enough when facing real crises or strong people.
At this moment, I can't even enter the outside of the stone palace, so how can I explore further? No matter how talented and legendary my father was back then, there has been no news from him since!
For a moment, Eloise felt a little disheartened.
After all, he is a young genius with a great heart. It only took a while for Elos to recover from his depression.
Just because you can't get in now doesn't mean you won't be able to get in in the future.
Come visit me again when I become a legend.
He secretly made up his mind.
Just as he was about to get up and return, a voice filled with the resentment of the deceased came to Eloise's mind:
"Don't come here, don't come here..."
"Hurry...quickly...leave..."
This is different from the tempting and unclear call that led Elos here, this is more like a warning.
Maybe it was the ghosts who were unwilling to die here who were warning him.
Suddenly, two tall figures rushed towards him quickly from the direction of the stone palace, and locked onto Elos' Qi machine.
When he rushed in front of him, Elos saw clearly that they were two strange stone statues that looked like cats and dogs. They were more than ten meters tall and were wearing red cloaks. Although they were in the shape of cats or dogs,
, but the expression on his face is the same as that of a human being, it is really weird.
Unlike the clumsy gargoyles, these two tall stone statues are extremely fast. One of them holds a huge two-handed sword, which can be more than ten meters long; the other holds a huge staff.
It seems that one should focus on physical strikes, and the other should focus on magic strikes.
Elos suddenly remembered that this was the tomb guardian recorded in Master Nielas Elam's "Overview of Alchemical Creatures".
This is a type of gargoyle, but it is much more advanced than ordinary gargoyles. It is created by a legendary alchemist and usually has the strength of a holy realm.
