Accompanied by spatial fluctuations, the players arrived one after another.
They were already prepared for battle. As soon as they entered the battlefield, they found the "resurrected" statues and fought with them.
At this moment, these statues that had come to life also underwent a strange change.
Black smoke began to swirl around their bodies, and strange patterns began to appear one after another. Their auras and strength increased by another level.
If it weren't for the fact that they seemed to have no consciousness and could only fight by instinct, the players might not be able to hold on any longer.
And with the first batch of statues "resurrected," more and more statues came to life.
Those were the statues that were further away. There were more of them than the first batch.
Previously, the players didn't notice them. But as the battle escalated, the light of magic illuminated the darkness, and at the same time, revealed their astonishing number.
These statues … there were probably thousands of them!
They started to move and joined in the siege of the players.
For a moment, the players and the resurrected statues were engaged in a chaotic battle outside the palace.
"I see. Are these statues the elves who have passed away? I'm afraid there are also the pious believers of the Church of Creation who have passed away … "
In the kingdom of the World Tree, Eve watched the battle from the players' perspective. She was deep in thought.
She had already recognized the identities of these statues.
"It seems that they didn't become petitioners. Instead, their bodies were preserved and turned into statues. They relied on the power of the abyss to demonize and obtain a different kind of new life."
"It can be said that they are almost the same as the undead."
Eve secretly shook her head.
This also meant another problem.
That was, these guardians' souls had probably been eroded by the power of the abyss.
They had lost themselves and the opportunity to be reborn. They could only fight forever as puppets of evil …
For intelligent life, this was even more tragic than becoming an undead.
With a sigh, Eve looked at the players again.
These experienced guys had gradually gotten into their roles.
The summoned players formed combat squads in groups of three and five and began to fight around the palace guardians.
The sound of swords, arrows flying, magic explosions, and the players' exclamations and laughter intertwined. It was extremely chaotic.
The weak guardians were directly besieged by the players, slashed in half, or drowned in magic.
The Guardian's body was also made of flesh, but its blood was a strange black.
Their vitality was incomparably tenacious. As long as their bodies were not completely destroyed, even if they lost their heads, their combat strength would not be reduced by much.
At first glance, they looked like terrifying specters.
Such an existence was enough to strike fear into the hearts of every Professionist.
Unfortunately, they were facing players.
Not only did the difficulty of the guardians not dampen the fighting spirit of the players, but it also stimulated the enthusiasm of the players.
The players who entered the scenario were all at least Black-Iron Upper tier players.
Among them, even the fourth beta testers were no longer the same as before. They were veterans with rich combat experience.
Their teamwork was perfect. They did not panic and tenaciously withstood the guardian's attacks.
Although there were some unlucky fellows who were careless and lost their lives to the enemy's attacks, new players were quickly summoned to join the battle.
On the whole, the number of players was increasing …
"If I'm not mistaken, there should be more than ten thousand Iron-ranked players. With the addition of more than a hundred Silver-ranked players, it shouldn't be difficult to deal with these unconscious guardians."
"The key is that such a battle is likely to awaken the sleeping demigod. We have to get the fragment of the Scepter of Life as soon as possible."
With a thought, Eve once again sent a voice transmission to Boxed Lunch and the other players.
"Don't fight. Quickly enter the palace and get the Heart of Life!"
The crisp and decisive voice rang in their minds, extinguishing the enthusiasm of the players to fight the guardians instantly.
They looked at each other, nodded, and gave up the battle. Instead, they took advantage of the other players' entanglement with the guardians to run into the palace …
Without any hindrances, the five players entered the palace smoothly.
The palace was much larger than they had imagined, and much more majestic and luxurious.
There were countless steps in the middle of the palace that went up step by step.
At the top of the steps, there was a crystal coffin that shone with a beautiful light.
Behind the crystal coffin was a huge mural. The mural depicted a hooded figure that was very similar to the statue of the God of Creation that the players had seen at Elder Rueg's place.
Above the crystal coffin, there was a dazzling diamond-shaped crystal that kept flashing.
That crystal seemed to be the center of the whole world, shining with a bright light.
In a daze, the players seemed to see an illusory network with the crystal as the center, spreading out in all directions.
At this moment, they had some kind of understanding in their hearts.
This crystal must be the target that they were looking for!
"The Heart of Life! That diamond-shaped crystal must be the Heart of Life! "
Looking at the dazzling crystal ball in Boxed Lunch's hand, Calabash said in surprise.
"Let's go together!"
Boxed Lunch's eyes flashed.
The five players nodded and rushed up the steps together.
Calabash and Chopin waved their staffs and chanted as they charged.
The former used [Mage Hand], while the latter used [Vine].
They cast their spells in the same direction, aiming at the Heart of Life in midair. They planned to cooperate to get it.
However, just as the two spells were about to hit each other, they seemed to hit an invisible barrier, and all the effects disappeared.
The two magic class players were stunned for a moment. Not believing it, they cast several more spells.
However, the Heart of Life seemed to be protected by an invisible barrier. Every time they got within half a meter of it, all the attacks would disappear.
"This is … magic immunity?"
The two players opened their mouths in shock.
The Heart of Life was suspended high in the air, at least ten meters away from the crystal coffin below. At this height, the players couldn't reach it without using magic.
At this moment, Zero's voice sounded in the players' ears again.
"It's the crystal coffin! That crystal coffin has a magic array engraved on it, and it's protecting the Heart of Life.
"If you want to get the Heart of Life, you have to destroy the magic array on the crystal coffin!
"The magic array on the crystal coffin is one with the crystal coffin. As long as the crystal coffin is opened, the magic array will be destroyed!
"So, we have to open the crystal coffin first!
"In addition, the body in the crystal coffin is also our target, and it's related to our victory.
"While getting the Heart of Life, you have to get the body in the crystal coffin!
This is the key to defeating the God of Creation! "
The body in the crystal coffin?
The players were slightly stunned.
The tank warrior at the front, Optimist, nodded and said, "Let's do it!
I'll do it! "
After saying that, he jumped up and slashed at the lid of the crystal coffin.
The light of a skill flashed, and the greatsword hit the crystal coffin, creating a series of sparks. However, the crystal coffin was undamaged.
Optimist didn't believe it and jumped up again, intending to slash down from the top of the crystal coffin.
However, just as he leaped up, raised his greatsword, and was about to slash down, he saw through the crystal coffin that the sleeping existence inside was clearly seen …
In an instant, the tank warrior's eyes widened as if he had seen a ghost, and he couldn't help but curse.
"F * ck?!"
"D-Goddess?!"
