[The first chapter, today's fourth chapter]
Jia Lin entered the Giant's Graveyard, but Salin was surrounded by tens of thousands of Parasitic Puppets. His Elemental Magic Tower was left in Liang City, so he could only fight these Parasitic Puppets head-on.
Salin understood Jia Lin's decision. If he were in her position, he would do the same. The problem was that he couldn't judge from Jia Lin's perspective. What Jia Lin did had angered Salin.
Jia Lin didn't do this because she relied on Ebola. Even if she was a nameless Magician, she would still try to take the risk. This was a Magician's natural reaction when they saw an opportunity. Jia Lin saw the hexagonal magic circle and didn't look at the seal on the tombstone.
The level-10 Water Pattern Shield could last for a long time. Salin also knew that the level-8 and level-9 Parasitic Puppets couldn't threaten him for now. He said, "Masters, you don't need to do anything for now. Gusin, protect me. Lawson, come back. "
Salin released twenty-four Primordial Puppets and had the soldiers protect the Magic Shooters. The puppets walked out of the Water Pattern Shield's protection. Salin used up half of his magic string to release the Water Pattern Shield. But in a few minutes, his magic string had recovered. The level-9 Magic Core in his hand continuously provided him with elemental power.
In this environment, although he couldn't use the elemental power in the air, replenishing his magic string with magic core was ten times faster.
The Magic Shooters also watched Salin's actions nervously. Four of them couldn't help but release a level-1 illumination spell to expand their vision a few hundred meters away.
Salin's Water Pattern Shield had been trained to the peak of his level. Looking out from the inside, the Magic Shooters couldn't see the edge of the shield. Looking in from the outside, they could only see blurry water vapor.
The Primordial Puppets were agile. Holding axes and halberds, they quickly killed the approaching Parasitic Puppets. The Parasitic Puppets were not agile. Falling from the sky, they all fell apart. Their newly reassembled bodies weren't strong enough and were still adapting.
The axes and halberds were heavy, and the puppet's strength was even greater than the demon's. These axes and halberds were reversed, and instead of using the blade to attack, the puppet lightly used the heavy metal on the back of the halberd to hit the Parasitic Puppet's head. The Parasitic Puppet's head was harder than metal, but it was a little brittle. It was easy to defend against swords and knives, but against the over two hundred kilograms of axes and halberds, as well as the puppets' immense strength and advanced attack techniques, these puppets' heads were all smashed, and they collapsed to the ground.
Sure enough, the head was the weak point! When Salin saw the result, he was slightly relieved. The Parasitic Puppet's body was very long, about 1.5 meters tall, and it had a tail to control its balance.
The claws of the Parasitic Puppets were somewhat special. They had an extra joint compared to ordinary Magical Beasts, and their length was more than half that of normal Magical Beasts. Furthermore, they could extend and retract. The stiff Parasitic Puppets' heads were smashed by the Desolate Ancient Puppets one by one. The sound of smashing echoed in the spacious cave, allowing Salin to estimate the size of the cave.
The cave was about five kilometers high, and Salin's line of sight was three and a half kilometers away. The echoes gave no indication of anything else in the air. The cave was like a huge egg, sealed shut at the top.
Salin's position was probably at one end of the egg-shaped cave, and the giant's graveyard was at the center of the cave. The giant statue on the ground was probably the entrance to the outer layer of the graveyard. The Glory King built the graveyard to pay homage to his brother, so of course he wouldn't seal it completely.
When he was alive, no one dared to put his words aside.
Salin had deduced a lot of things, but the problem was, how to get out?
Even if he knew this place like the back of his hand, it wouldn't work if there was no way out. The Desolate Ancient Puppets couldn't solve the problem of being surrounded by these Parasitic Puppets. Salin saw that more Parasitic Puppets were becoming more agile, leaping on the ground and pouncing on the Desolate Ancient Puppets.
The Desolate Ancient Puppets swung their axes and halberds in a circle, temporarily protecting themselves. A few Parasitic Puppets pounced on the surface of the Water Pattern Shield and were bounced off, their bodies disintegrating in the air.
The level-ten Water Pattern Shield was no longer a purely defensive spell. The power of its counterattack was just the limit of what the Parasitic Puppets could withstand.
"Salin, let's hurry up and leave." Sica didn't want to take any risks. She didn't care what was in this graveyard, but the whole space was gloomy and devoid of life, which made her uncomfortable.
Salin smiled bitterly. "I can't fly up, can you feel it?"
Sica shook her head. Her body slowly rose up, quickly broke through the protection of the Water Pattern Shield, and then landed back down. The Magic Shooters looked at Sica enviously. They all realized a serious problem, and that was that her flying skill was no longer working.
"Gu Xin, how about you?" Salin asked the Golden Sword Saint. Gu Xin nodded. "Master, I can still fly, but my flying ability is restricted. I'm probably a little stronger than a level-eight Silver Sword Saint."
Salin heard this and knew that Gu Xin couldn't fly up now either. This eggshell was ten miles high. He really didn't understand how there could be such a huge space underground. If this space was real, once it collapsed, the whole of Great Liang City would be finished.
His flying skill was also restricted, but Salin wasn't worried. Because he could still use Cloud Walking to fly up slowly, but it would be difficult to carry others.
He, Sica, and Gu Xin could escape from the entrance above. As long as there were no enemies at that entrance, it would be fine. But what about the rest? These twelve level-nine Magic Shooters brought more than twenty Great Mages with them. These Mages weren't unimportant to him, especially when he planned to build the magic network. Before he trained Controller, these Mages were the main fighting force.
Salin thought for a moment, then slowly walked forward while releasing more Desolate Puppets at the same time. The Water Pattern Shield moved forward as Salin walked. The Mages didn't know what was going on until the tombstone appeared in their sight.
"Everyone, Jialin has entered the tomb. Everyone, look at the words on the tombstone and make your own decision." Salin closed his eyes and began to calculate.
In the space, the warning voice had stopped. It seemed that the real attack was about to begin.
The Magic Shooters saw the words on the tombstone and had different reactions. Only a few Mages who didn't know the seal were eager to try, while the rest of the Magic Shooters looked worried.
"Your Highness, the tomb is here, and it won't leave. Why don't we go up and find some information to study which giant's tomb this is, and what kind of battle took place here? This must be the remains of a battlefield. After the giants died, they didn't move their bodies, but buried them directly. The enemies of the giants are probably dead too. If we want to reap benefits, we don't necessarily have to enter the tomb. Looking for the remains of the giants' enemies is the same. "
The oldest level-nine Magic Shooter said to Salin, who had his eyes closed. Salin opened his eyes and nodded at the Magic Shooter. "What you said makes sense, but Jialin has entered. Shouldn't we go and save her?"
"Your Highness, you didn't let Jialin enter alone. We can testify for you," the Magic Shooters said in unison. After knowing what Jialin was doing, they hated Jialin just like Salin.
This tomb couldn't be safe. If Jialin died in there, everyone would have to bear the wrath of Ebola. But if they went in to help Jialin, everyone would have to bear the curse of the King of Glory.
Salin was especially sensitive to this curse. His astrology had been upgraded to level-nine, and Salin had begun to understand the rules of fate. If he went in himself, even if he wouldn't be hurt, his luck would become very bad, even worse than when he was young.
Fate was illusory, but it was reflected in everyone.
A person's fate wasn't always the same. For example, a person's fate seemed to be very smooth, better than most people's. Under normal circumstances, if such a person became a professional, he would advance much faster than others. Also, people with good fate would live longer than others.
But no matter how good their fate was, if they insisted on doing certain things, such as making an enemy of a level-18 powerhouse, they would be killed immediately.
Astrologers said that fate could be controlled. In essence, they were telling humans not to do stupid things and know how to avoid harm.
"Since it's everyone's decision, let's leave." Salin sighed. He definitely wouldn't go and save Jialin. It was even more unnecessary, especially since this kind of rescue would have to risk being cursed by a level-18 powerhouse.
As for Ebola, Salin no longer considered the consequences.
"Do a headcount!" Salin had the soldiers adjust the magic lights to the brightest level. The Magic Shooters began to do a headcount.
There were only eight people on Salin's side. Five of them were Sword Saints, Gu Xin's subordinates. These people couldn't fly at all. There were 101 Magic Shooters who survived. Salin said, "My Elemental Creature can provide wind elemental power for at least an hour. Everyone, try your best to bring as many people as you can. I can't see the exit above clearly, but the puppets can land, which means the exit is very big."
The Magic Shooters nodded. They didn't have any objections to Salin's suggestion. Without Salin's Elemental Creature, they could only look for the edge of the cave and climb upwards to find the exit.
"Humph, no one can leave!" The loud voice sounded again, and a strong light shone down from above. The people in the darkness weren't used to it. Salin pushed up his mask and looked through it. At the top of the eggshell, a large number of magic arrays lit up, brightly illuminating the entire space.
Salin's vision had also recovered. He felt that the elements in the space weren't so thin anymore. Although magic power couldn't be restored, the Elemental Eye could see up to five miles. However, after Salin put on the Star Patterned Mask, he realized that the Thunder Dragon Eye on the Star Patterned Mask could provide him with a vision of more than fifteen miles.
