Entering the underground passage, the atmosphere became more and more strange.
With his extraordinary hearing, Tang Shidao sensed that the vibration underground was getting stronger and stronger, and it was an extremely rhythmic vibration. It felt like some kind of giant machine was slowly running, not one set, but hundreds or even thousands of sets of machines running non-stop. It was not hard to imagine that there must be a mechanism array or a secret palace under his feet, and its range must be extremely large.
Following the smell of blood, Tang Shidao kept running quickly.
Strange.
Although he was not running at full speed, he still could not catch up with the five enemies after running for so long. As he ran, Tang Shidao did not miss the strange traces around him. The smell of blood was heavier, and there were fewer battles. It seemed that the outcome was about to be decided. There were no traces of magic along the way, which also proved that these five people were not Inverse Mages, and they did not have a trump card of innate magic.
Not long after.
Tang Shidao found the bodies of a lizard man and a minotaur.
They were not beast soldiers, but 'heroic' powerhouses with more elite armor. Comparing the smell of the lizard killed earlier, Tang Shidao was sure that these were two of the five enemies. Looking at the dozens of armored insects' corpses, the result of this battle was self-evident. There were indeed strange beasts guarding the underground passage, and there were quite a number of them.
He continued to go down.
Soon, he encountered the bodies of a lion-man and a rotary-horned monster.
At this point, there was only one enemy left.
At this point, the vibration from the ground was even stronger, and he could already hear the ticking of a mechanical spring. The stench in the air faded, and it was replaced by the fragrance of dozens of flowers that slowly drifted into his nose. In this kind of underground passage full of rust and the smell of blood, the fragrance of flowers was simply an incredible thing.
After walking for about a few thousand meters. A bloody battle was coming to an end.
"Help me … These black-helmeted insects will call for their companions, hurry up and kill them as soon as possible, or you won't have it easy," in the battle, a wood-skinned weirdo shouted.
At this time, it was waving its one-handed hammer hard, trying to beat back the black-helmeted insects that were besieging it.
Tang Shidao ignored it and just watched quietly.
In his opinion.
The wood-skinned weirdo's attack movements were too big, and it wasted too much energy. His aim was also wrong. He didn't aim at the Black Helmeted Worm's weak point. If its breathing was messed up, its dodging was messed up, and its rhythm was messed up. In less than two to three minutes, it would be defeated and killed by the Black Helmeted Worm, which was not very agile.
Tang Shidao concealed his aura so that the Black Helmeted Worm could not detect him.
They were arrogantly beating up the green-skinned monsters, like a group of rhinoceroses teasing a wild dog.
"Help me … They … I beg you, save me!" The wood-skinned monster was unwilling to beg at first, but when it saw Tang Shidao ignoring it, it couldn't help but become anxious.
"You're already dead," Tang Shidao said calmly.
"What?" The wood-skinned freak was stunned. Before it could react, it felt a chill at its waist. A scythe flashed past, and it was immediately split into two.
At this moment.
A strange praying mantis that was several times larger appeared. It stepped on the wood-skinned monster that only had its upper body left. It nailed a black-helmeted worm to death with its sickle. The other sickle was ready, and its eyes were fixed on Tang Shidao. In its eyes, this creature with no aura was even more dangerous.
Seeing the strange mantis appear.
A group of Black-helmeted Worms hurriedly fled. They didn't even have the will to fight.
They rushed toward Tang Shidao. In their hearts, they didn't take this small creature seriously, thinking that they could send him flying with a single collision. However, when the large Black-helmeted Worms collided, Tang Shidao only threw a punch forward, and the Black-helmeted Worms that rushed at the front were smashed … The remaining power of the fragments scattered like cannonballs, injuring or knocking over the Black-helmeted Worms behind.
This punch was extraordinarily powerful.
The Black-helmeted Worms were also scared. They wanted to retreat, but unfortunately, the strange mantis was behind them. For a moment, the Black-helmeted Worms trembled like children. They didn't even dare to cry for help. In front of a real powerhouse, they were really just a group of worms.
At this moment.
Unexpectedly, the strange mantis stretched out a scythe and pointed in a certain direction.
It was as if it was pointing the way.
Tang Shidao wasn't too surprised. There were obvious man-made traces on the strange mantis' body. It wasn't man-made. Instead, it seemed to be some kind of mechanical egg. Under its feet, the green-skinned monster moaned and cried, "Save me … Save me, I'm willing to be your slave. Please, save me. "
The strange mantis moved aside. Did it mean that it wanted to snatch this' food '?
Tang Shidao only said, "You're poisoned and can't be saved. The mantis' scythe claws are poisonous. Can't you smell it? Forget it, tell me who you are, and I'll give you a quick death. Otherwise, your whole body will soon be paralyzed. The poison will slowly cool down, making you hard, brittle, and limp. I guess the mantis won't eat you, but will bring you back for its children to eat. When they eat you, you'll probably still feel pain. "
Hearing this, the green-skinned monster was completely stunned.
It imagined a group of small mantids slowly eating its flesh. It couldn't move and could only feel pain.
"Apostle … I'm the messenger of Reverse Sorcerer. The place above is presided over by Lord Evil Bone and Lord Evil Blood. They are brothers and are very talented blacksmiths. Because they want to find Lord Evil Eye's treasure, they have worked hard here for decades. What else do you want to know? I beg you, kill me. "The green-skinned monster only wanted to die now.
"Are Evil Bone and Evil Blood the descendants of Evil Eye?" Tang Shidao walked forward, ignoring the strange mantis, and pointed his spear at the green-skinned monster's forehead.
The green-skinned monster sighed in relief.
The other party's promise was still valid. He was going to give it a quick death. "No, Lord Evil Eye is an ancient person. No one knows when he died, so he has no descendants. Lord Evil Bone and Lord Evil Blood have a similar nickname because of their talent in blacksmithing. You have to be careful. Even if Lord Evil Eye is dead, it's still not something a living person can underestimate. "
"Thank you." Tang Shidao waved his spear. The green-skinned monster didn't have time to say anything, and died with a smile.
Seeing Tang Shidao's action, the strange mantis also got into position.
However.
Seeing that Tang Shidao didn't want to snatch the food, it relaxed again. Although it couldn't understand the two people's words, the strange mantis' intelligence wasn't bad. It wouldn't provoke a strong person like Tang Shidao for no reason.
Following the strange mantis' instructions in the underground passage.
Soon.
Tang Shidao came to a huge cliff.
Under the cliff, countless super-large steel pipes were connected in all directions. In the middle, there was a metal object that looked like a 'heart', comparable to the imagined alien mothership. There were also a large number of strange beasts in this steel world, including multi-armed apes, bat-winged tigers, horned lizards, bison with bestial feet, scorpion-tailed giant spiders, and strange birds with arms.
The monsters nearby weren't too surprised to see Tang Shidao.
Surprisingly.
Some of the monsters with arms even stretched out their hands and pointed at the entrance of a steel pipe in the distance.
This action seemed to be very natural and habitual.
There was a feeling.
A certain existence had been teaching them: When you see a creature like this or a very strong creature, you should guide them to this place. Therefore, when they found that Tang Shidao was very mysterious and dangerous, they immediately made this guiding action reflexively.
Tang Shidao didn't hesitate.
He strode into this underground world full of the fragrance of flowers.
He walked into the pipe.
It didn't take long for Tang Shidao to arrive at a city-like area. There were different monster lairs here, and there were also orderly roads. The monsters were surprised when they saw Tang Shidao, but they didn't attack. They seemed to be used to getting along peacefully. Similarly, some of the smarter monsters also stretched out their hands and pointed in a direction.
Tang Shidao found that this place was growing and was about to become a 'bazaar-like' trading point.
The monsters exchanged meat for bones and bones for horns and teeth.
Although they were dissatisfied with the trade and fought, they didn't fight desperately. They just roared at each other or bumped into each other a few times, then took their things and ran away. This was very similar to the civilization of primitive societies. The difference was that these monsters were very strong and followed some kind of rules.
Following the guidance.
Tang Shidao walked step by step to a steel gate.
Without hesitation.
Even if the steel gate was extremely thick, Tang Shidao wasn't worried that this was a trap. With strength came confidence. So what if the steel palace was a prison? He strode through the gate. In the blink of an eye, the lights around him lit up. The gate behind him slowly closed, and the entire space became a secret room.
"Eh, someone else is here?"
Before Tang Shidao could look around, a dark voice came from the left. The lights that were deliberately turned off lit up, and a large group of people quickly showed themselves.
Tang Shidao didn't care.
He turned around and found that they were not in the same secret palace.
There was a thick layer of transparent crystal between the two secret palaces. Seeing a few bloody fist prints on the opposite side, Tang Shidao knew that the crystal wall was very hard. A normal fist wouldn't be able to break it. He looked to the right. It was a completely dark space. There were no shadows of people or monsters.
"A triangle, three secret palaces. We're still missing a group of people." A bronze-skinned monster stepped forward and snorted with a smile.
"The walls have wheels, the ground trembles, and there's a hole under our feet." A bronze-skinned monster also stepped forward and spoke with a smile as if he was an expert.
"Are you a mage or a mage outside the net? Although you're tattered and don't have any armor, you're definitely not a soldier from the war fortress. To be able to come here, you must be very strong. "The bronze-skinned monster asked.
Tang Shidao was very calm. "Before you ask others, don't you want to introduce yourselves?"
The bronze-skinned monster laughed. "Hehehe, you really want to know? Then stand there and listen. Don't be scared. We're all Inverse Mages. I'm Rotten Bones. "
"Wicked Blood." The bronze-skinned Wicked Blood followed with two words.
"I'm scared. I'm Owl, a member of the Hunter Mage Tower. I'm glad to see you, Inverse Mages. " Tang Shidao calmly said his name. The group of Inverse Mages and Apostles heard the word Hunter and subconsciously took a step back.
Who scared who?
It went without saying.
"Hmph, so what if you're a Hunter. You hypocritical Mages, your companions are still in our hands. "Rotten Bones stepped aside to make way for them.
Behind him were dozens of corpses piled up.
It wasn't hard to imagine.
These were the Mages they captured. They were now unconscious or in a state of suspended animation. Because Mages had innate spells, they didn't dare to keep any conscious Mages. As long as they weren't completely dead and were sent back to a certain plane, they had plenty of ways to deal with these Mages. Even if they didn't want to surrender, they could still squeeze out their knowledge or skills.
Tang Shidao ignored them. They wanted to provoke him on purpose.
The armor on their bodies already showed that they were very skilled refiners … People like them wouldn't get angry easily, unless they were faking it.
Seeing that Tang Shidao wasn't moved, Rotten Bones and Wicked Blood also had a higher opinion of them.
Both sides were silent.
After a while, a third of the dark secret palace lit up. A woman with a curvy figure slowly walked in.
Her whole body was hidden in a cloth robe. Her face couldn't be seen clearly.
The three secret palaces lit up and closed their doors. The machines rumbled. Soon, the three huge secret palaces separated by crystal walls slowly sank. After about ten meters, the three palaces stopped. At this time, some refining tools and a furnace slowly moved out from the surrounding steel walls. There were also a lot of materials with some dust on them, as if they had been stored for a long time.
"Newcomer, don't you want to sign up?" Rotten Bones shouted, pretending to be frivolous.
"I'm Wicked Blood, this is my brother Rotten Bones, we're both Inverse Mages. The little brother on the other side is called Owl, a member of the Hunter Mage Tower. Newcomer, what's your name? Can you give me a code name? "Wicked Blood introduced on behalf of everyone, as if they were getting along well.
Tang Shidao didn't respond.
When the cloth-robed woman heard the three words' Owl ', she glanced at Tang Shidao slightly. However, it was just a little bit of interest.
After that, there was no more reaction.
From the steel walls of the three secret palaces, refining materials poured out little by little.
When the sound of the mechanism stopped, a sign hung down in the end.
It said: I'm Evil Eye. Maybe you've heard of it, maybe you haven't, it's not important. Now you've entered a competition called the Life and Death Competition. Follow my instructions and refine the equipment I ask for. The two teams that finish first will get food, the team that doesn't finish will starve. There are nine stages in the competition, there's no time limit. Once you finish, you can go down and get my gift. If you don't know how to refine equipment, then wait for death!
It was a simple sentence.
No one was surprised. Even if they didn't know who Evil Eye was, they didn't expect to end well after entering this' prison '.
Competition?
This could only be considered the best treatment.
On the other hand, when they heard that they could get Evil Eye's gift, Rotten Bones and Wicked Blood's eyes lit up.
Even if they were tricked by the dead.
