The army of the dead lingering in Tartarus is a sight to behold.
No, maybe it shouldn't be called an "army" because Hades, who once ruled this hell, is dead, and the undead people who were originally controlled by him have also lost control. They were originally an army, but after losing their supreme leader, they
After the Queen's death, the countless undead creatures have become leaderless wanderers, wandering aimlessly in the collapsing wasteland of Tartarus, as blind as insects and ants crawling around.
However, the leaderless army of the dead does not mean that the danger is reduced. On the contrary, precisely because they have lost their unified command, the land is filled with scattered undead creatures, and all roads that could have been safely crossed are
Now they are all occupied by wandering corpses.
Hao Ren and his party were on a high ground overlooking the situation below. They saw that the plain leading to the "Copper Palace" was full of rickety skeletons and carrion zombies, as well as translucent soul ghosts appearing and disappearing.
, the number of these seemingly fragile guys can make patients with trypophobia commit suicide on the spot. Hao Ren has no doubt that as long as one undead falls, millions of undead will immediately come after hearing the news. They
If this group of people breaks through forcefully, they can probably break through, but it will undoubtedly consume a lot of physical strength and energy. Now they haven't even seen the gate of Mount Olympus, and they have already suffered eight hundred losses in Tartarus.
, is really not a wise move.
"Haven't you demon hunters swept through this place once?" Hessiana looked at Hasselblad with some dissatisfaction, "You even rushed into the Copper Palace and killed Hades. Why didn't you just clean up these bones on the plain?
shelf?"
"No, my compatriots killed all the undead creatures they encountered," Hasselblad couldn't express his face, but there seemed to be some helplessness in his eyes, "It's just that half of the undead that were killed got up again."
At this time, Hao Ren also noticed some details of the undead creatures: almost all of them were injured, some were missing arms and legs, some were crawling on the ground with only half of their bodies left, and some even had no heads, but a whole body.
There are headless corpses wandering on the ground, and there are also many skeletal undead that are simply pieced together to stand up. The bones on their bodies are of different sizes and slanted. If the dark force hadn't forcibly connected those limbs together,
I'm afraid these joints that have been put together will fall apart before they can move.
This is an army that was wiped out once and then stood up again.
The sacred magic of the demon hunters has excellent lethality against undead dark creatures, and the undead burned to death by the holy flames can never be resurrected. However, the main mission of the demon hunter army that originally attacked Tartarus was to kill Hades.
That's all, so they put all their energy into the Copper Palace. For these undead creatures who were like cannon fodder on the plain, they did not waste precious holy water and magic power. They just used silver weapons to temporarily kill them. The result was that after they left
After that, about half of the corpses on the battlefield of Tartarus got up again.
Moreover, the corpses on the plain outside the Copper Palace are only a small trouble. The bigger trouble is that there are undead of higher "quality" inside the Copper Palace.
Hades' palace in the underworld has a triple wall. Outside the triple copper wall is the corpse plain, and inside the wall is the real residence of the Lord of the Underworld. This space was a failure as a product of the Olympian "gods" to open up their homeland.
But as a "big cemetery" for testing necromancy and collecting soul power, it was successful. Hades was sent to guard this out-of-control laboratory. He naturally had his own way of killing time. Over the course of thousands of years, he
He studied his forbidden spells in the Copper Palace day and night. The corpses and souls of various creatures were his experimental materials. He created countless undead creatures that were either powerful or disgusting, and then used these monsters as guards and placed them in his palace.
Everywhere in the palace.
Outside the triple city wall are ordinary undead with no novelties, but inside the city wall are the "experimental products" created by Hades himself.
Even though those experimental subjects were all killed once by the demon hunters, they were still quite powerful.
But this is still the best way to get to the "godly domain" of Olympus.
"I can use blood magic to temporarily cover the breath of the living," Hesiana looked at everyone, "This way we can at least hide these ordinary undead on the plains. After entering the Copper Palace, there will not be enough undead on the plains outside.
For fear of it, they dare not enter the Temple of Hades even if Hades is dead."
"A good idea, but there is still a problem." Hao Ren spread his hands in confusion, "You can try putting some blood magic on me."
Hesiana didn't know why, but Hao Ren took the initiative to let her "biu" and she was quite happy, so a non-lethal ball of blood condensed from her hand and hit Hao Ren in the face: "This is
You let me smash it yourself...ah?"
The ball of blood dissipated in mid-air without even touching Hao Ren's face.
The little bat spirit was shocked: "Your face is actually possessed?!"
Hao Ren almost choked on his bronchus with a mouthful of blood: "It's your face that's enchanted! I'm just physically immune to magic, at least to Vivian's series of magic, not to mention your blood magic, even Vivian's
The ultimate move that I suppressed by reading it myself is of no use to me. So far, the only thing about her power that I can't completely resist is the red moon, and all the magic with levels below the red moon are useless."
The little bat spirit was immediately confused: "Where did your setting like the Son of Noodles come from?!"
Hao Ren had an innocent look on his face: "Can you blame me for the talent points you were born with?"
Hesiana was confused: "Then we can only rush through the sea of the dead... There may be a chance if the pig advances suddenly..."
However, Hao Ren thought about it and had another plan: "No, I have a better plan."
Suddenly, even little Hesiana, who had been following the adults obediently and being a good baby, cast curious eyes over.
"You used shadow magic to cover up and sneaked into the Copper Palace. I couldn't hide anyway, so I ran directly to the plains to attract hatred and help you distract as many skeletons and zombies as possible. Finally, we met at the main entrance of the Copper Palace."
Hesiana never expected that Hao Ren would have this plan. Her eyes suddenly widened and she looked at Hao Ren as if she were an alien: "You actually have such courage?"
Hao Ren was choked up by the little bat spirit's words asking for beatings and rolled his eyes. However, Lily still had some conscience: "No, landlord, this is too dangerous! You alone are no match for so many undead. They are swarming up to you."
You have to kneel down too!”
Hao Ren chuckled and waved his hand: "Don't worry, I have my own arrangements."
Seeing that Lily's face was still full of worry, Hao Ren could only explain with a serious expression: "I do have a way to break through, but I can't do it with you. I'll make it clear, I can't get through alone.
This plain is simply like being in an uninhabited land, but you may not be able to bear my method..."
Seeing the confident expression on Hao Ren's face, Lily and Hasselblad couldn't help but believe it, while Hesiana curled her lips: "Tch, it sounds like the real thing when you blow it."
Although he said this, the expression on the little bat spirit's face clearly showed that he believed it.
The plan was finalized.
Hasselblad, Hessiana and others quickly made preparations, and the four of them gathered together. Then the little bat spirit chanted a spell, and a black-red light curtain suddenly rose out of thin air, covering the four of them, and then gradually disappeared.
.
There seemed to be no change, but in Hao Ren's perception, everyone's heartbeat, body temperature, and breathing had become invisible, and even the inexplicable "breath of life" had become ethereal.
He shuddered. Before, it was okay to have his friends standing around him, but now the four friends have turned into "fake undead". When he closed his eyes, he felt like he was standing in a morgue...
"How's the effect?" Hesiana looked at Hao Ren proudly.
Under the cover of blood magic, the four people carefully walked down the high ground and headed towards the plain filled with undead.
Under Hao Ren's nervous gaze, the undead actually ignored the few "living people" who came to them, allowing Hesiana and her party to walk through the territory of skeletons and zombies.
Hao Ren nodded, took a deep breath, turned his head and looked in another direction, and at the same time took out two plasma hand cannons from his portable space.
Looking at this dark world filled with dead souls and bones, which represented the end of the mythical era, he sighed with emotion:
"Grandchildren!!"
"boom!!"
Hearing the earth-shattering explosion from behind, the four people under the cover of the "Blood Canopy" spell couldn't help but stop. Hesiana looked back in the direction she came from, but only saw a small flower.
A small mushroom cloud was rising into the sky, and the mushroom cloud was filled with countless rotten limbs and skeletal fragments that had been blown away.
The entire sea of undead on the plain was startled by the sudden movement. After a moment, countless undead groups gathered and began to stagger towards the direction of the explosion.
Hesiana frowned. Although her relationship with Hao Ren was never good, at this time she couldn't help but worry that maybe Hao Ren's heroic act of "luring the enemy alone" finally made this paranoid little bat spirit suffer.
Feeling touched, she finally spoke: "Is that guy sure he's okay?"
This time, Lily, who was very worried before, was not worried at all: "It's okay, it's okay, the landlord is great."
"Then you tried hard to stop him just now?"
"Oh, but if the landlord says it's okay, then it must be okay."
Hesiana was dumbfounded and speechless at this husky spirit's simple and straightforward thinking process.
What a happy guy with a simple mind.
Suppressing all the thoughts in her heart, Hesiana once again focused on the matter in front of her. She carefully maintained the effect of the blood canopy and led the team towards the pure copper palace standing at the highest point of Tartarus.
