The door made of heavy and cold ice stone slowly closed behind him. Xue Hua squinted his eyes, adapting to the rapidly dimming light.
He found that he was now in a passage made of black and red boulders. Not far in front of him, there was a staircase leading to him.
Xue Hua, who had successfully advanced to the legendary level, was now much bolder as an expert. He did not directly summon the insect swarm, but covered it with a psychic exoskeleton skin and walked down the stairs alone.
raging!
As Xue Hua moved down the stairs, firelights lit up from the braziers on both sides of the stairs.
These small braziers embedded in the stone walls of the passage contain a special kind of magically treated wood that is not only very resistant to burning, but also immortal for many years.
The firelight extended all the way down, illuminating the space below the corridor.
With this light, Xue Hua saw a relatively vast stone hall appearing at the end of the stairs. In the center of the hall was a huge stone brazier, with a bright golden fireball hanging above the brazier.
Xue Hua walked along the stairs to the brazier in the main hall. Looking at the golden fire ball, he couldn't help but frown deeply.
This brazier is one of the barrier nodes that protects the World Stone Fortress from being invaded. This thing itself is a sacred object in heaven. As long as the flames in the brazier do not go out, there will be no problem with the barrier of the World Stone Fortress.
And if you want to extinguish the flames, you must at least have an extraordinary being to do it.
Kane had asked him to check these nodes before he came in. There are three such nodes, one on each of the two floors of the fortress, and one in the World Stone Hall, all in very obvious places.
But the characteristics of these nodes that Kane told him were somewhat inconsistent with what he saw now. Kane said that the stone basin should be a golden fire pillar connected to the top of each fortress, instead of just a ball of fire like it is now...
..
"Is it Barr's fault again?"
Xue Hua frowned, wanting to help but not knowing where to start.
"Forget it, it's better to catch up with Barr first. As long as we get rid of that guy, peace will naturally return here."
Thinking of this, Xue Hua asked about Isa in the main nest mind.
"Isa, how is the image analysis of the surveillance king insect going? Can you find Baal's current location?"
"Sorry, Master, this building has a powerful psychic defense system. Neither the Monitoring King Insect nor the Node King Insect can break through the system for a while. I'm afraid it will be difficult to help you."
Isa said apologetically.
"It doesn't matter. Since the Overwatch King Insect can't be used, let's use the Shadow Insect. There are many monster projections in this fortress. The monster projections here are much more powerful than those outside. Let the Shadow Insects move carefully and help detect Baal.
His whereabouts and path to the next level.”
Xue Hua ordered.
"I understand, Lord."
Isa agreed, and then the dimensional door beside Xue Hua opened, and countless shadowless shadow insects flew out from the dimensional door and rushed towards the passages around the hall.
"Okay, it's time for me to leave. Since there is no map available now, I can only rely on intuition."
Xue Hua spread his hands helplessly, and randomly selected one of the four or five passages around the hall. Then he shook the bone wings on his back and dived into it at an extremely fast speed.
As soon as he entered the passage, the surrounding environment immediately became dark, and at the same time, there were large groups of demon projections trying to surround Xue Hua from all directions.
Unfortunately, his main task now is not to kill monsters, so he has no time to waste time here with these miscellaneous fish.
As a result, a terrifying and cold aura immediately appeared on Xue Hua's body, and all demonic projections that came into contact with this aura trembled, screamed, and hid deeper into the shadows.
Deterrence of will!
The new skills that appeared after Xue Hua's second skill mutation can intimidate those miscellaneous fish units whose psychic level is lower than his 1.0, making them afraid to fight him out of fear.
Xue Hua's previous level was only level 66 in total, but the monsters here have even reached level 70, so naturally they cannot be intimidated by him.
But now, he has entered the legendary level, and his psychic level has reached over 9.0, which is several psychic levels higher than the monster projections here, so it is no problem to deter them.
Using his willpower and intimidation skills, Xue Hua effortlessly passed through the dark passages and halls on the first floor of the fortress.
The master bone wings behind him allowed him to move very fast, and no monster dared to trouble him, so that he walked through a passage that usually took professionals half a month to open in one day.
Unfortunately, he did not find the stairs leading to the next level at the end of the road.
"Hey...what bad luck."
Looking at the thick red and black wall in front of him, Xue Hua sighed helplessly, and with a venting psychic attack, he killed a bunch of banshees who had no time to escape.
"Isa, how's it going? Have the shadow bugs responded?"
"Not yet, Lord. I'm afraid it will take some time for the shadow bugs to explore, but I received a report from the supervisory king bug in another direction. They found that humans have entered the area code-named 'Mysterious Sand Dunes'
.
And the person who enters has a very familiar aura.”
"A very familiar smell... interesting, let me take a look." Xue Hua said, turning part of his attention with great interest to the sight of the supervisory king insect who sent the message.
Through the field of vision of this surveillance king insect, he saw a guy wrapped in a thick white cloth robe walking in the sandy Aranok Desert under the scorching sun.
Not far in front of him were the iconic red mesas in the mysterious sand dune area.
Through the monitoring of the biological signals of the King Insect, six percent of this guy's biological signals come from human genes, and the other four percent of the biological signals appear messy. It is obvious that he has undergone some kind of genetic reconstruction surgery.
And although he tried his best to conceal his psychic disturbance, the Overwatch King Insect still got his approximate psychic level.
This is a legendary evil consort.
Although this guy didn't know what he was carrying, which could prevent the Supervisory King Insect from seeing through the psychic disguise on his face, it didn't matter. Knowing this information, Xue Hua could basically determine who this guy was.
Who could it be if it wasn't his old friend "Number One" - "Butcher Butler" Greg?
"Oh? It's actually him?"
Xue Hua curled his lips.
"It seems that Dehaka didn't do his job very well. He actually let that guy come to the Aranok Desert."
"Master, Dehaka sent us a communication a few days ago saying that the main target it is pursuing has probably left the Eastern Continent and arrived in the Aranok Desert area of the Western Continent, and it is leading its troops to pursue it.
Because you were fighting at the time, I did not report this matter."
Isa spoke up to explain to Dehaka.
"Well, I accept this explanation. Let Dehaka stop tracking for a while. Such a good show cannot be disturbed. Besides, the gift our Mr. Phase Technician specially left in the warehouse
Someone still needs to sign for it!”
Xue Hua chuckled while continuing to watch No. 1 walking into the mysterious sand dunes, while saying in a teasing voice... (To be continued)
