Chapter 785: Not afraid of opponents who are like gods, but afraid of teammates who are like pigs
Before entering the Shadow Realm, Sharlayan heard the barrage discussing the Venthyr, a species unique to Revendreth.
In their words, the so-called Venthyr are actually a group of species similar to vampires.
Revendreth is the place of redemption in the Shadowlands.
Anyone who has committed sins during his lifetime will be sent to Revendreth to atone for his sins, as long as he is not so heinous in the arbiter's trial that he must be thrown into the abyss. The time for atonement varies from person to person.
.
Venthyr's duty is to supervise these sinful spirits and guide them on their journey of atonement.
Many souls who have redeemed their sins in Revendreth will choose to stay in Revendreth, which they are already familiar with, and become a member of the Venthyr. They will transform from redeemers to overseers, passing on the suffering they have experienced.
to those who came after.
Generally speaking, the Venthyr, who are arrogant and good at conspiracy, are a rather twisted race. They are one of the children created by Emperor Denathrius based on himself.
What? Other children? Aren't there even more twisted Nasrezim?
Compared with the Dreadlord, who naturally likes to see rivers of blood, Venthyr is relatively gentle.
In barrage terms, almost all Nasrezim members are from the chaotic evil camp.
The composition of the Venthyr is more complicated, ranging from chaotic good to chaotic neutral to chaotic evil. Each camp has their people, but they are all chaos anyway. After all, their root is the Great Emperor Denathrius.
Well.
Under normal circumstances, the Venthyr would not leave Revendreth. After all, their duty is to supervise the evil spirits, and other countries do not have their goals for fun.
Under the secret attention of Sarlayan and others, in order to show courtesy, the mysterious man of unknown origin temporarily lifted his hood, revealing a skull head wearing a gorgeous crown.
Stellagosa's eyes flashed: "Lich...is it?"
"Um."
Sarlayan nodded thoughtfully: "It should be someone from the Ritual Secret Academy. Judging from the strength of the death power emanating from his body, he is probably not an important person."
Due to the distance, the four Sarlayans could not hear the conversation between the lich and the Venthyr.
The conversation between the two only lasted about half a minute. After explaining the matter, the Venthyr entered the space channel again.
Sarlayan turned to Onyxia for advice: "Onyxia, what do you think? Do you want to take him down now?"
"No, don't worry yet."
Onyxia said calmly: "This lich should be just a minion responsible for the first level of communication. He will definitely pass the message up, and we will follow."
After Venthyr left, the lich looked around for a while before putting on his hood again and sneaking towards the southeast of the Sharp Eyes Secret Courtyard.
Among the five major mysteries of Maldraxxus, the Mystery of the Sharp Eyes is located to the north, the Mystery of Soulselect is to the southwest, and the Mystery of the Blight is to the southeast.
To the northwest and northeast are the Creation Chamber and the Ritual Chamber respectively, which means that the Ritual Chamber is right between the Withering Chamber and the Sharp-Eye Chamber.
In order to avoid the battlefield in the center of Maldraxxus, on the way from the Court of the Sharp Eye to the Court of Withering, you will inevitably pass by the door of the Court of Ritual.
As a result, Sarlayan and others discovered a major secret on the way, confirming the collusion between the Ritual Chamber and Denathrius.
But this was also thanks to the information provided by Bwonsamdi, otherwise Sarlayan would not have paid special attention to meeting the hooded man on the road.
The plan was temporarily changed, and the four of them hung far behind the lich who was circling back and forth.
"Tsk~" Onyxia smacked her lips in displeasure: "This guy is quite alert. Regardless of whether there is anyone following him or not, we need to stun the possible stalker first."
"However, there are no eggs."
Sarlayan looked up into the sky. An inconspicuous black crow was circling in the sky, its dark eyes fixed on the lich that kept circling.
No matter how he circles on the ground, as long as he can look down from the sky with a clear view, all the Lich's efforts are destined to be in vain.
As expected, in order to avoid being ruined, the lich who conveyed the message did not enter the gate of the ceremonial courtyard, but turned to the eastern mountainous area, speeding up his pace and walking back and forth among the barren mountains in the rugged area.
Through the surveillance of the crow familiar released by Sarlayan, the four of them followed the Lich Messenger who was as powerful as a tiger, and watched him enter a hidden cave with no corners.
Sarlayan put his two fingers together and pointed at the crow familiar that was swooping down at high speed.
"Change."
The familiar crow, made of pure power of death, turned into a squirrel with strangely colored fur.
The squirrel, half of its body dyed green, grabbed the tree trunk and ran down. It soon landed on the ground and carefully approached the cave with a very hidden entrance.
The entrance to the cave is very narrow, and can only accommodate one person squeezing through.
After confirming that there was no one guarding near the entrance of the cave, Sarlayan controlled his familiar to get into the cave, and was shocked to find that there was something else going on inside the cave.
A long and narrow passage leading to the ground continues forward, and you can faintly hear the crisp footsteps of the lich walking in front.
Why is it crisp?
Isn't the sound of bones hitting the ground crisp and clear, or is it a dull sound?
Controlling the little squirrel to stay inside the cave entrance for the time being, Sarlayan frowned slightly and said to the three girls who were waiting for news: "There is a tunnel in the cave that leads deeper underground. I am afraid that this place is left outside the core area by the Ritual Secret Academy.
A secret base."
Onyxia thoughtfully analyzed: "If this secret base has only one entrance, as long as we block the space transfer ability in the cave in advance and block the entrance from the main entrance, we can successfully catch turtles in the jar, but..."
"Hmm." Sarlayan rubbed his temples with a headache: "We can't be sure if there are other entrances to the secret base. Let's just assume that it exists."
"So……"
Onyxia turned her attention to Valeera: "This kind of infiltration mission can only be completed by Valeera. At least we must first understand the detailed internal structure to ensure that the enemy has no way to escape."
This chapter is not over yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Valeera nodded solemnly: "Leave it to me. This is not the first time I have carried out the task of sneaking into the enemy's stronghold. I have
I am confident that no one will find out and I will successfully bring back the information you need."
Although Sarlayan can also sneak, his sneaking skills are still too poor compared to professional thieves.
Unlike before when he sneaked into the Sharp-Eye Secret Courtyard, in order to ensure sufficient combat effectiveness, Sarlayan had to follow Valeela.
This time is different. Valeera only sneaked into the cave to detect intelligence and would try to avoid fighting. Bringing Sarlayan with her as a scumbag would easily reveal her flaws.
After a brief discussion between the four of them, it was finally decided that Valeela would sneak in alone, with Sarlayan controlling the familiar to follow her from a distance, which was an extra layer of insurance.
If Valeera encounters a problem that is difficult to solve in the cave, Sarlayan, who is monitoring in real time, can immediately lead Little Star and Oni to forcefully break in.
…
The slender Valeera easily passed through the narrow hole and officially entered the stealth state.
As a member of the undead, the Lich does not need light to assist his vision. It is pitch black inside the cave. The deeper you go, the darker the light transmitted from the cave entrance becomes.
After carrying out a large number of tasks given by the Backlight Blade, Valeela has long been accustomed to operating in the dark, and the changes in light do not cause much hindrance to her.
There were no forks around the descending passage in the cave. Valeela silently arrived at a hall deep underground, followed by the squirrel familiar controlled by Sarlayan.
"This is... a laboratory?"
Through the various lights that flashed from time to time in the hall, Sarlayan roughly saw the purpose of this secret base.
While Sarlayan was busy observing the environment in the laboratory, Valeela, who had never let down her vigilance, trembled slightly with her long elf ears, and she captured the faint sounds of words coming from the distance.
The intermittent words made Valeera's beautiful eyebrows frown, and the information revealed in these words made her a little uneasy.
"Ascension to Fortress?"
There was a look of contemplation in Valeela's eyes: "Did something happen to the Ascension Fortress? Why did Denathrius's people get the news earlier than us?"
