A yin demon circled around and examined every corner of the octagonal ancient magic matrix. Through the yin demon, Han Shuo saw that the octagonal ancient magic matrix was covered with large pieces of sparkling and translucent magic crystal ores. These ores covered every intricate and detailed magical veins of the magic matrix, providing the octagonal magic matrix with a steady flow of energy.
When the earth elite zombie and yin demon emerged from the depths of the earth and approached the enormous creature, the creature with half its body and tail sunk into the center of the ancient magic matrix seemed to sense the existence of the earth elite zombie and the yin demon. A reddish-brown tail that was more than ten meters long was like an enormous iron whip, snaking through the air as it swung down in the earth elite zombie's direction.
The earth elite zombie's body was still half submerged in the ground. When he saw the python like tail swinging down, he hastily hid his entire body in the depths of the earth. A crackling sound came from the top of the earth elite zombie's head, as if the earth itself was shaking.
A strange force entered the ground from his tail and rushed towards the earth elite zombie. The earth elite zombie jumped in fright and prepared to quickly return the way he came. Unfortunately, before the earth elite zombie could return to Han Shuo's side, that strange force fiercely surged into the earth elite zombie's body.
The earth elite zombie's body trembled midway, and he actually rolled in the depths of the earth. When the earth elite zombie landed, he was already dizzy and disoriented. However, the earth elite zombie had been refined by Han Shuo's demonic arts and had absorbed the yuan energy of the place of extreme earth. Now that the earth elite zombie was deep underground, this kind of strange force couldn't harm the earth elite zombie.
After that force passed through the earth, the strange creature seemed to feel that the earth elite zombie was still alive and kicking. The enraged creature's enormous tail repeatedly slapped the earth, and a few more strange forces entered the earth and surged towards the earth elite zombie.
The earth elite zombie, who was also dizzy and disoriented from the attack, was much more sensitive in the earth than on the surface. When he sensed a few more dizzying auras surging towards him, he hastily began to mobilize the power of the earth to protect himself. The earth around the earth elite zombie suddenly began to tremble.
The auras that surged towards the earth elite zombie were weakened bit by bit by the slight tremors of the earth. When the auras truly arrived in front of the earth elite zombie, they seemed to have lost the power that caused the earth elite zombie to fear them. They flowed into the earth elite zombie's body without the slightest bit of reaction.
The first time, the earth elite zombie had been confused by a single aura, that was because he hadn't used his innate ability in time. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been in such a difficult situation at the beginning.
"Eh!" Han Shuo let out a cry of surprise, then muttered to himself thoughtfully, "It seems that the five elite zombies still need to face danger frequently, otherwise they wouldn't be able to use their innate abilities. So this earth elite zombie didn't know that he could use the earth's tremors to defend against this kind of attack, but he magically grasped it when the danger was right in front of him."
While Han Shuo was silently pondering, the strange creature imprisoned by the ancient octagonal magic formation flew into a rage after a long period of futile attacks. Unfortunately, its body was bound by the magic formation and couldn't leave. Facing the earth elite zombie buried deep underground, it couldn't use its strange attacks to attack. For a time, there was nothing it could do.
The enraged creature seemed to have transferred its anger towards the earth elite zombie to the Redbud Knights and dark elves that had entered the gourd mountain. Accompanied by a deafening howl, the entire gourd mountain seemed to shake. Strands of the same strange aura as the one that had attacked the earth elite zombie shot out from the air or underground towards the lowly lifeforms that had dared to offend the creature's dignity like formless flying snakes.
The Redbud Knights and dark elves who were struck by the strange aura felt as if they had suffered a heavy blow. The Redbud Knights were protected by fighting aura and had firm willpower. Only blood flowed out of their noses and mouths, and their movement speed was impaired. However, the weak dark elf archers were caught off guard, and a dozen of them died on the spot. Dozens more were seriously injured.
However, there were at least a thousand Redbud Knights and dark elves that had rushed into the gourd mountain. Unable to leave the ancient magic formation at the bottom of the gourd mountain, this method of attack wasn't enough to completely stop such a large number of invaders.
As the dark elves died, bags of goblin explosives were placed in various areas of the gourd mountain. Under Kassel's leadership, the Redbud Knights took advantage of the opportunity to slaughter all lizardmen they saw in the dark, narrow caves.
The lizardmen, with their powerful bodies and crude weapons, were obviously no match for the regular human knights. Not to mention, there was also Kassel, the traitor druid who had mastered the transformation technique. In just a short while, the lizardmen were retreating in defeat, leaving behind a trail of corpses.
The dark elves were right behind the Redbud Knights, taking advantage of the opportunity to bury goblin explosives in every corner. Together with the Redbud Knights, they followed the lizardmen deeper into the forest towards the location of their "true god".
As the lizardmen died tragically and retreated, the powerful creature at the bottom of the gourd mountain no longer cared about the earth elite zombie. It vented all of its anger in roars, using a series of mysterious attacks to attack the invading enemies. In its rage, the lizardman released several strands of aura, landing on the bodies of the Redbud Knights.
Even the astonishingly powerful Redbud Knights couldn't withstand the strange aura and would die on the spot. The more fragile dark elves were even worse off. Nearly a hundred of them had died before they could even reach the bottom of the mountain.
At this time, Han Shuo was certain that the Redbud Knights and the dark elves were taking great risks. Han Shuo was sure that the strange creature was bound by an ancient magic formation. It looked like it had been suppressed deep underground, with only half of its body exposed.
The Redbud Knights had only seen the upper half of the strange creature's body and the magic crystal ores around it. As for the lower half and the magic formation buried deep underground, they couldn't see them at all.
Once the goblin explosives on the gourd mountain exploded, it would be fine if the strange creature was killed. However, if the creature didn't die in the explosion, the gourd mountain would no longer be able to imprison it. With its incomparably large body and power, Han Shuo believed that the moment it walked out of the magic formation that had imprisoned it for who knew how many years, the Redbud Knights and the dark elves would have to bear its terrifying wrath.
However, this wasn't something that Han Shuo needed to worry about. Han Shuo's goal this time was to kill Celt and obtain as many magic crystal ores as possible. If the strange creature didn't die from the explosion, then it would be ideal if it could come out.
Therefore, Han Shuo thought quickly and immediately came up with a brilliant idea.
Using the tunnel leading deep underground, Han Shuo and the earth elite zombie arrived at the strange creature's location. Just as Han Shuo shot out of the tunnel and arrived at the somewhat spacious ancient octagonal magic formation, the ten meter long tail swept towards Han Shuo like a giant python.
The creature's head was still above, so it was indeed miraculous that it could accurately discover Han Shuo's whereabouts. Han Shuo quickly flew to a remote corner. The ten meter long tail wildly swung seven meters in front of Han Shuo, but it still couldn't reach Han Shuo.
"Hey, I mean no harm, I just wanted to come and help you." Han Shuo didn't care if the strange creature could hear human speech or not. He shouted at the ten meter long tail.
"Despicable little existence, you will pay the price." A message that was purely similar to mental strength suddenly spread through the space where Han Shuo was. It looked like it had been sent by the strange creature.
Generally speaking, the more powerful a creature was, the more intelligent it was. For example, Gilbert, the black dragon, and the gold dragon could speak the human tongue. Even the Lord of the Flames had the ability to directly communicate with the human mind. This creature, whose strength was not inferior to the Lord of the Flames, could naturally communicate with humans.
The reality was just as Han Shuo had expected. When Han Shuo called out loudly, the creature immediately responded. This kind of direct telepathic communication was even clearer than language.
"Powerful creature, I'm not with the people above. I've come to help you. I can help you use the power of those people and dispel the magic formation without harming you. I only want the magic crystal mines at the bottom of the gourd mountain. What do you think of this deal? "Han Shuo immediately proposed his idea when he discovered that he could communicate with the creature.
"Haha, lowly creature. Even without your help, those idiots will still help me blow up the gourd mountain. I've given them the wrong message that I'm afraid of fire and bombs, and they're helping me destroy the gourd mountain according to my plan. No one can stop me from doing this. Since you aren't with them, even if you inform them now, no one will believe you. Your suggestion is worthless. "Contrary to Han Shuo's expectations, the creature actually laughed heartily and complacently.
Han Shuo's expression changed slightly when he heard this. He hadn't expected this creature to be so cunning. It seemed that it wasn't as afraid of fire and bombs as Celt had guessed. The reason it had displayed such a disadvantage in the previous battle was because it had a purpose.
Suddenly, Han Shuo's expression froze. He asked, "If that's the case, why don't you let the lizardmen get you out? I don't think it'll be hard for them to get their hands on goblin bombs. Wouldn't it be faster if you let them, who worship you as their 'true god', help you? Why use this method to get the enemy to help you?"
"If they could communicate with me like this, I would've left this damned place a long time ago. They've been cursed by the gods to never know how to use power outside of their physical bodies before they break through their shackles. They can't communicate with me without any obstacles.
Pitiful creatures, they can only use the stupidest method. They plan to remove all the ores around me. They think that's the only way to get me out of this damned cage. " This creature seemed to have been imprisoned for far too long a period of time. It kept on explaining to Han Shuo.
After hearing this, Han Shuo suddenly remembered that the lizardmen could indeed only use their physical strength. Their soul force and intelligence were still very weak. He didn't know if this was the reason why they couldn't obtain information from this creature's powerful consciousness that enveloped the entire space. Perhaps it was because of this that they could only rely on the foolish old man to move the mountain in an attempt to remove the ores.
It seemed that the lizardmen occupied this gourd mountain and tirelessly mined ores not for the value of the magic crystal ores themselves, but for the sake of freeing their so-called "true god" from the shackles of their shackles! It made sense. They didn't even know how to forge some complicated weapons, so how could they understand the true value of the magic crystal ores and how to use them?
With this strange creature's explanation, Han Shuo knew that there was no way to stop him from leaving this ancient magic formation. Celt and the others would definitely blow up the gourd mountain. When that happened, as long as a corner of the magic formation was damaged, he would be able to walk out of this cage that had existed for who knew how long.
Han Shuo's mind raced for a moment. He could tell from the creature's tone that it was protective of the lizardmen. He looked at the reddish-brown tail that was more than ten meters long and connected it to what Arlen had said about the lizardmen's "true god" being nothing more than a giant "lizard". An idea suddenly formed in his mind.
"Powerful existence, there are still several hundred lizardmen who worship you in this gourd mountain. If the gourd mountain really explodes, you might be able to walk out of this cage, but those pitiful lizardmen will all die." Han Shuo paused, noticeably sensing the creature's uneasiness from the surrounding presence. He then continued, "I can help the lizardmen survive. As long as you promise to give me the rocks in the mine, I will move the lizardmen who are still alive to a safe location before the explosion occurs."
"Lowly and weak existence, I, the great Ancient Lizard King Dagassi, agree to your request. As long as you can guarantee their safety, you can take as many of those magic crystal ores as you can." Dagassi immediately conveyed his promise to Han Shuo after a moment of silence.
After receiving the giant Ancient Lizard King Dagassi's message, Han Shuo didn't linger here. He immediately had the earth elite zombie dig a tunnel to the surface, but halfway through, the earth elite zombie suddenly transmitted a helpless message. Han Shuo's mind raced. He already knew where the problem was and quickly shot towards the half-dug tunnel.
From the outside of the gourd mountain to the Ancient Lizard King Dagassi's enormous tail, there was only soil. Then, he arrived at the spacious ancient magic formation. From there, he dug upwards, but found magic crystal ores that were even harder than iron and stone.
The earth elite zombie's innate ability was powerless in the face of the magic crystal ores. He didn't know where to start when he was halfway through mining. The earth elite zombie was the earth elite zombie after all. He naturally couldn't possess the ability of the metal elite zombie, which allowed him to pierce through mountains and split rocks to traverse unhindered within the mountains.
"My pitiful children are still dying. You puny human, hurry up and do it." Ancient Lizard King Dagassi's urgent message repeatedly flowed into Han Shuo's mind.
The indestructible Demonslayer Edge spun in Han Shuo's hand, bursting upwards like a drill. Large pieces of sparkling and translucent magic crystal ores disappeared into Han Shuo's space ring before they even hit the ground. Han Shuo, who was digging the tunnel with all his might, had the help of the Demonslayer Edge. Although it was a bit slower than the earth elite zombie's innate ability, it was still a speed of several meters per second.
Under the Ancient Lizard King's urging, the Demonslayer Edge spun a large piece of magic crystal ores into Han Shuo's space ring. Afterwards, Han Shuo arrived at the location of the Ancient Lizard King's upper body and head from the ancient magic formation.
Raising his head to look at Han Shuo, he couldn't help but exclaim in his heart. This Ancient Lizard King really was an enormous lizard, but there were some differences. His ugly head had a single sharp horn, and from the horn to his back was a row of sharp red sword-like spikes.
The Ancient Lizard King was even larger than the green dragon that Han Shuo had seen before. He looked like a towering reddish-brown mountain of flesh. Just his height alone was over twenty meters. His enormous body was like a thick reddish-brown rock, looking extremely sturdy.
At this moment, his dark red eyes were like two lanterns hanging high in the air. Looking at the ant-like Han Shuo beneath him, he once again sent out a strong message.
"I know, I know. I will make sure your children survive." Han Shuo replied impatiently to the Ancient Lizard King's garrulous words. While marveling at the Ancient Lizard King's size, he quickly rushed into the complex cave.
"I am the emissary of your 'true god'. In accordance with your 'true god's' orders, I have come to welcome you. I will bring you to a safe place." Han Shuo's loud shout suddenly came from behind the lizardmen who were desperately resisting the Redbud Knights' invasion and retreating towards the Ancient Lizard King.
"Despicable human, why are you here?" The lizardman leader with the giant tail suddenly shouted in the awkward-sounding common language in a panic. He pointed at Han Shuo and was about to attack.
"I am here to help you. I am the emissary of your 'true god'. You will understand once you come down." Han Shuo explained, then immediately shouted, "Don't waste your time. They have placed goblin explosives in this gourd mountain. All you need to do is hurry and get to your 'true god's' side."
Han Shuo didn't care whether they believed him or not. He flew straight towards the depths of the Ancient Lizard King's cave. When the retreating lizardmen heard Han Shuo's words, they didn't stay to tangle with the Redbud Knights any longer. It was unknown whether it was because they believed Han Shuo's words, or because they were worried about the safety of their "true god", but they didn't continue to tangle with the Redbud Knights. They quickly returned to the Ancient Lizard King's area.
When the remaining few hundred lizardmen saw that Han Shuo hadn't been attacked by their 'true god', they couldn't help but believe Han Shuo's words. The few hundred lizardmen first kowtowed towards the Ancient Lizard King. The lizardman leader stood up and looked at the Ancient Lizard King, speaking humbly, "True god, what should we do? The enemy has already invaded. "
The Ancient Lizard King's gigantic body twisted and roared towards the sky. The sound of an explosion echoed throughout the entire space, and the gourd mountain began to shake violently again under the influence of its gigantic body.
"Humans, hurry and let them in. I know we don't have much time." The Ancient Lizard King's consciousness filled the entire space. Unfortunately, the lizardmen couldn't receive this message.
"There is a passage here. Hide in it and you will be safe even if the explosion happens. Your 'true god' said that the explosives can't harm him. He will take care of the rest. " Han Shuo hastily shouted, seeing that the Redbud Knights were about to enter and more explosives were about to be placed at the entrance.
The lizardman leader looked at Han Shuo, who was safe and sound under their 'true god', and seemed to believe Han Shuo's words. The lizardman leader mumbled something in the lizardman language to the remaining lizardmen behind him. The remaining few hundred lizardmen no longer hesitated and followed behind the lizardman leader, heading deeper into the tunnel that Han Shuo had dug.
When all the lizardmen had entered the tunnel, the entire space was once again filled with the Ancient Lizard King's thoughts. "Humans, don't let those damned invaders fill this space with explosives. Although I won't die from the explosion, it will definitely injure me a little. Besides, I also hate that unpleasant smell. "
There were seven caves that led from the gourd mountain to this space. The invading Redbud Knights and dark elves seemed to be afraid of the mountainous Ancient Lizard King, and didn't dare to directly enter through the caves. Instead, they hid at the cave entrances and threw down explosives.
Han Shuo had summoned a hundred dark creatures after receiving the Ancient Lizard King's message. Whenever a goblin explosive was thrown into this space, the omnipresent dark creatures would throw it out from below. The Redbud Knights and dark elves hiding in the caves outside were enraged when they saw the bags of explosives being thrown out from below.
However, after receiving Han Shuo's orders, the simple-minded skeletal warriors naturally didn't understand the anger of the people in the caves above. They dutifully threw out the bags of explosives one after another. For a time, the situation in this area was a bit ridiculous.
The last remaining yin demon had already drifted into the midst of the Redbud Knights. After observing for a while, Han Shuo suddenly sneered, "Since you've come, don't think of leaving. You and the gourd mountain will suffer the craziness of the goblin explosives."
Chanting another incantation, several large hate warriors appeared. Together with the zombie Little Skull, they brought the explosives and charged into the caves. The enormous hate warriors and zombies forcibly blocked the caves. The remaining goblin explosives were also thrown into the space ring by Han Shuo.
When all the caves were blocked by the hate warriors, the Redbud Knights and dark elves madly attacked the dark creatures that had suddenly appeared. They cursed the damned dark creatures as they picked up the goblin explosives from the ground, preparing to stuff them into the Ancient Lizard King's space below.
The goblin explosives were exquisitely made. They wouldn't explode unless they were burned by a raging fire. However, once they did explode, they would create a torrential inferno. The goblin explosives had been placed in a reasonable location. A single explosion could ignite all of them, and the mountain would inevitably collapse under the weight of so many goblin explosives.
This time, the Ancient Lizard King was the main target. They should have placed more goblin explosives in his area to maximize the effect. That was why the Redbud Knights were so diligent in getting close to the dark creatures.
When all the lizardmen had retreated into the tunnels below and the caves were blocked by the undead creatures, the Ancient Lizard King impatiently transmitted his message even more than Han Shuo. "That's enough. Help me ignite the fire and drown all the Redbud Knights inside."
"Happy to be of service!" Han Shuo chuckled coldly as a red flame shot out from his hand. A zombie suddenly moved to the side, creating a gap for the red flame to pass through.
"Fire, it's fire! Attack it!" The Redbud Knights who were still fighting the undead creatures were suddenly scared out of their wits. Their screams were laced with sobs. They knew exactly how many goblin explosives had been thrown into the gourd-shaped mountain. If one of them exploded, what kind of fate would await them?
Several more flames shot out from Han Shuo's hands, piercing through the gaps between the zombie warriors like arrows. They landed among the Redbud Knights and dark elves, who were howling like ghosts and howling like wolves even before they exploded.
Han Shuo shot towards the tunnel like a bolt of lightning. With a thought, a flame flew towards the goblin explosives on a hate warrior's body.
