The weightless feeling of teleportation faded away, and Gao Xu and his party had arrived at Cui Fanke, the city of temples.
If the seaport of Kurast still retains more or less some vitality due to the existence of surviving plot characters, Cui Fank is a real dead city.
The first thing that catches the eye is an ancient temple in the middle, towering and majestic. If it weren't for the twisted and spreading black-red aura, it would definitely be a temple of light worthy of worship. Now, it is a genuine temple of darkness.
!
Except for the temple, which is still intact, the rest of the place is in ruins and dilapidation. The thick moss on the ground and the tangled vines on the walls prove the baptism of time. There are piles of debris on the dry riverbed next to the left and right banks.
The white bones of humans and beasts were blowing with gusts of sinister wind, like the cries of the dead souls. The groups of berserkers, fanatics and singers were obviously patrolling and protecting, but there was no sound of footsteps.
Come on, it's like a ghost soldier in hell...
Sure enough, the cruelty of the real world cannot be reflected in the game's graphics. Even Tuoba Yu'er and the girls who have seen many big scenes unconsciously feel panicked. The main thing is to sneak in in disguise. They have never experienced it before. What if they are caught?
What to do if the enemy exposes you?
Speaking of fear, everyone just stepped out of the teleportation array when another priest wearing a red sacrificial robe walked up and asked in a face-to-face manner: "Why did it take so long to come back?"
Tuoba Yu'er and the other girls instantly became nervous, and their bodies tightened unconsciously. Tatum replied calmly: "A group of monsters who don't know whether to live or die have attacked the fortress. In order to ensure the smooth flow of the teleportation array, we must
They clean it up!"
The monsters around Cui Fank are not monolithic. The bone dwarves and the thornwood demon clan all surrendered to Mephisto. Some simple-minded monsters began to go crazy after gaining strength, attacking all external creatures, including Zakarum.
Member of the sect!
This little accident was not the first time. The priest took a sniff, and sure enough, he smelled the smell of fresh blood from the berserker following Tatum. There was a look of enjoyment on his brows, and there was no doubt that he was there.
He waved his hand and said: "Send him to the liberation cage quickly, Lord Ismail is impatient to wait!"
Tatum nodded. He led the team towards the direction of the Dark Temple. The Cage of Hatred that sealed Mephisto was at the core of the temple. However, when everyone entered, they did not go towards the Cage of Hatred in the north. Instead, they went directly to the left.
Hui. It seems that the prison of liberation is not inside the prison of hatred.
This is quite good news. You must know that Cui Fanke is Mephisto's base camp, and the Hatred Cage is Mephisto's home. It is like a city and the city lord's palace. The guard strength of the two is completely different. It is difficult to exploit loopholes.
The degree is also very different!
Along the way, Gao Xu kept scanning with the corner of his eyes. He kept Cui Fanke's internal defense layout and the guard positions of the sect personnel in mind, thinking about where the Tianxing team should start from when they formally attack, so as to achieve the best results.
.
The hordes of members of the Zakarum sect are not afraid of forming a different kind of army. They are fighting one after another. They are not afraid of death and have no morale flaws. If the elite troops who are good at battlefield battles are here, it may be easier to deal with it. Tian Xing
Not good at this.
In fact, most reincarnations hate the war mode. Because individuals are powerful and can easily be overwhelmed by sheer numbers. One person against an army sounds majestic, but the price paid behind it is quite high.
, no one would be willing to do it if they had a choice!
The key is that there is no choice now. Cui Fanke in the temple city must be captured before he can face Mephisto, a model worker who is a treasure. This cannot be avoided. The Tianxing team can use the purifying heart of the legendary hero and the transformation potion.
It is not easy to sneak into Cui Fanke and obtain first-hand valuable information. It is impossible to expect more.
The release from the cage arrived quickly. It was not much different from an ordinary prison. It was just that the four walls were covered with mysterious patterns and strange energy flowed. It was obviously a magic circle arranged by the Zakarum sect to monitor the movements in the cage.
, hindering outside rescue.
Taking advantage of the moment to drag the two mercenaries in, Gao Xu glanced around and found that there were more than forty mercenaries serving Iron Wolf. You must know that the entire Iron Wolf mercenary group only numbered more than 200 people, close to five.
One of the personnel is missing, no wonder Asila is so anxious!
These mercenaries were not tortured, they just fell into a coma, with a dark demonic energy lingering on their bodies. Presumably in Mephisto's view, these people quickly became his loyal men, so naturally
You won’t torture yourself and damage your strength!
In addition to mercenaries, many primitive tribe members and characteristic creatures around Cui Fanke also attracted Gao Xu's attention.
The primitive tribe members were the ones Jiang Yufeng pretended to be not long ago. These people living in the swamps and jungles were persecuted by both monsters and the Zakarum sect, and were almost extinct. The people here are all strong and have extraordinary strength.
Yes, the fate of demonization cannot be avoided either.
The featured creatures are dwarves, tree men, etc., and even creatures with long ears similar to elves. If you add a hobbit together, you can play the Lord of the Rings. These creatures that can resist the invasion of hell's evil spirit are obviously extraordinary, but it is a pity.
Under the siege of the Zakarum sect, he finally became a prisoner.
The number of prisoners of all kinds was much greater than that of mercenaries, which made Tianxing and the others, who originally thought that Mephisto could demonize dozens of people at most, feel their hearts sinking. Once the demonization was successful, at least more than a hundred leaders and dozens of bosses would be affected.
It is conceivable that Cui Fanke's defensive power has improved greatly!
"When you have accumulated a certain amount, will you do another large-scale demonization? It seems that demonization is also a big burden for Mephisto. It is not advisable to do more during the period of recovery?" Gao Xu thought of this.
On the other hand, the creatures in this liberation cage obviously cannot be gathered in a day or two, but may be accumulated over months or even years. During this process, if Mephisto wants to be demonized,
It must have been done a long time ago, there is no need to wait until now, space is not a game. There will be no stupid thing like having the hostages tied up and letting the villain drag his feet without killing them, and only regretting it after the heroes of the protagonist team rescue them!
So what is the reason why Mephisto was not immediately demonized?
After thinking about it, there seems to be only one possibility - Mephisto is in the stage of recovering his strength. If he continues to demonize creatures, it will hinder his recovery of strength. In order not to put the cart before the horse, he has to gather a certain number of people.
, demonize it all at once and lighten your burden!
"Hey. A weakness has been found. If we can make good use of this demonization, capturing Cui Fanke may not be as difficult as imagined!" Gao Xu's mind flashed to the fact that he was killed by the Tianhua Divine Sword in the battle with Diavolo.
One blow destroyed the original demonic energy, which he never dared to use again. A sharp edge flashed across his lowered eyes. It was full of evil energy.
Just as they were thinking, everyone was already walking towards the outside of the temple. Except for the archbishop and his close members of the council, all members of Zakarum, including priests, lived around the temple. Now the Tianxing team is heading towards Tatum.
Walk to your residence and prepare to implement the next step of your plan.
The next plan is not to save people, but to expand the purification team. Gao Xu's previous promise to Tatum was to use his purifying heart to help more priests escape and return to the light.
Note that these priests are not the parallel imports that were later expanded, but the original first-level bosses of the Grand Inquisitor. Deceive them one by one, purify them one by one, and then continue to weaken Mephisto's guards and enhance your own strength.
.Under the circumstances, Cui Fanke’s difficulty must have dropped significantly!
Of course, this is something that is easier said than done. The boss-level Zakarum priests don't often go out, so take a step back. Even if they do, every time they go out, they are surrounded by a large number of subordinates. This time
Tatum brought with him very few confidants. He probably thought he was just transporting prisoners of war and did not mobilize any troops.
Then comes a problem that cannot be ignored. This time, the Tianxing team can disguise themselves as Tatum's confidant berserkers to make up for the losses in the previous battle and pass the test. When they purify the second and third priests, they will inevitably
After cleaning up the little monsters around them, how can those little monsters be transformed back? Is it possible to use the Purifying Heart to purify them all? But it is extremely uneconomical!
If the transformation fails, once the priest returns to Cui Fanke alone, he will be interrogated by the archbishop. It is hard to say whether the transformation potion can still be concealed!
Even Gao Xu had no solution to these difficulties for a while. He had to go back to Tatum's residence first, collect the information, and then make a long-term plan.
Along the way, everyone lowered their eyebrows and walked carefully, trying not to attract the attention of others. Unexpectedly, a crucial change occurred during what was supposed to be a peaceful journey.
The start of the change was something Lin Yueru accidentally saw. She scanned it first, then froze for a moment, looked over again, her fingers trembled, and she said hurriedly in the team channel: "Gao Xu, Gao Xu
, you look to the southwest, the man four hundred meters away... No, it doesn't look like a human, it should be a demon, a real hell demon. Is the hammer hanging on his waist a Horadric hammer?
"
As soon as these words came out, Gao Xu immediately looked in the direction pointed by Lin Yueru, and couldn't help but be startled by this look.
The target Lin Yueru mentioned was indeed a demon from hell. Not to mention the towering figure that was nearly three feet tall, the purple-red face and the horns on his head also intuitively revealed this. There would never be humans in the dark world.
If you have too much time, go cosplay the demon clan...
While the three hell demons were plundering the human world, many hell demons also came to the human world, not only Andariel and Duriel, so it is not surprising that a hell demon appears. As long as it is not the level of the four demon kings, it is harmless.
, the key is that the hammer hanging on his lower back surprised Gao Xu!
To be precise, it is the special mark on the handle of the hammer, which is exactly the same as the mark on the bottom of the Horadric cube, representing the Horadrim sect!
Although it is not 100% confirmed, since there is a hammer with the unique symbol of the Horadrim sect, it is most likely the Horadric hammer that appears in the main plot of the first act? Mallus!
If the Horadric Cube is the most valuable item in the second act, the Horadric Hammer is the most valuable item in the first act. Unfortunately, it is also a non-appraisal item and cannot bring out the plot world. It can even be compared with anyone else.
The requirements for the Horadric cubes and Horadric hammers used are much higher, and only a blacksmith with extraordinary skills can use it. Therefore, the purpose of most reincarnations to obtain the hammer is to give it to the blacksmith Qiaxi in Rogge camp.
, get a chance to strengthen your equipment!
So, why did the Horadric Hammer, which obviously appeared in the first scene, appear on a hell demon?
Although Gao Xu was full of questions, he knew that now was not the time to stir up trouble. Under his care, everyone tried their best not to show any signs of confusion and continued to move forward. Unexpectedly, this small disturbance seemed to be noticed by the other party. That person
The hell demon stopped talking with a member of the parliament and walked over quickly, staring straight at...
