The passage to the palace stretched out in front of them. This was the heart of Nasaton, a place that should have been brightly lit, but now it was shrouded in darkness. The huge pipes and gates seemed to be shrouded in shadows, as if they grew out of a dark abyss, showing them an unpredictable path.
Y 'zaks looked back at the two old uniforms on the ground and said, "We'll have to rely on ourselves if we go any further."
Shaqira nodded silently and swam in front of them.
A series of pipes and isolation doors flew past them, and the strange and oppressive atmosphere became more and more obvious. The gigantic brain had been here for too long, and it had even changed the atmosphere in the palace. Everyone who entered the palace felt like they were being watched by countless hostile eyes, and it was like they were being stared at by countless people. The faint sound of sirens could be heard from afar. The sentries everywhere in the palace had already realized that there were intruders here. The outer passageways were being sealed off one by one. Soon, they would find this place, and an encounter was inevitable.
Hao Ren followed Shaqira through the last door, and a magnificent domed hall appeared in front of them. It was a magnificent hall built of white metal and pale green crystal. The high dome was inlaid with huge luminous pearls, and a wonderful ribbon of light hung from the stained glass in the center of the hall, like a rainbow falling from heaven, gently floating in the water.
But they did not have time to marvel at the magnificent hall because the fan-shaped door behind them closed heavily. The next second, a group of siren warriors suddenly poured out from the dome of the hall!
The siren warriors swayed their long tails in the water like snakes, forming a fan-shaped encirclement as they closed in on them. Behind these sea snake warriors were mermaid soldiers. They quickly stopped after forming the encirclement, and then raised the magical trident in their hands high, letting out a burst of soul-piercing shriek!
Vivian was brewing an Ice Blast, but the moment the shriek sounded, she felt her mind go blank. The spell was forcibly interrupted, and a ring of ice spread out around them. Y 'lisabet and Teuton were also interrupted at the same time. Y 'zaks was the only one who could withstand the mental screams of hundreds of sirens and hurled a lava fireball with a diameter of two to three meters. The fireball dragged thick smoke in the water as it smashed towards the sirens. It blew up a bunch of enemies and smashed through the dome of the hall.
But that was just the beginning. Just as Hao Ren raised his silver spear and was about to fight his way out, there was a sudden, heavy and strange sound of friction coming from all over the hall. Then, the green crystals around the hall sank into the ground, and in came a new group of enemies. These enemies were covered in heavy shells, and each of them was the size of a main battle tank. Their limbs glowed with magic, and their forelimbs were raised high in the air, glinting with cold light.
Hao Ren saw the situation and was stunned. He turned to Shaqira and asked, "What is this?!"
Shaqira tried hard to open up a barrier to block the shriek of the siren sentinels, and answered loudly, "Mantis shrimp form! And sea crabs! "
Lily raised her Frostfire Claws, her eyes dull. "You call these tank-like sea monsters... mantis shrimp?"
Hao Ren stared around and was relieved to find that the giant sea monsters at least did not really have a human face, which made 'them' just look powerful. He then turned to Wuyue and shouted, "From now on, no matter what, you are not allowed to become like this! When you guys get serious, the whole scene changes! "
Wuyue bravely huddled into a ball at the back of the team to help maintain the barrier. She shouted, "Is this the time to talk about this?!"
After the three sirens on her side barely resisted the maddening shriek, Vivian immediately seized the opportunity to fight back. A large group of bats wrapped in cold light rushed towards the encirclement in the air. The bats spread out a few meters away from the siren sentinels and turned into a cold wind that swept through the enemy formation. Suddenly, a huge ice cube fell from the air, and seven or eight sirens were frozen in it. And Lily also waved her Frostfire Claws and rushed towards the swaggering... mantis shrimp. Well, although they were mantis shrimp, they were as big as tanks! That size was no laughing matter!
Everyone at the scene was strong, even Rollie could use the Golden Apple to transform her body to fight the trident wielding sirens, but fighting in the water was still a little difficult. Many spells were not as easy to cast due to the interference of the water. They had to be more careful to avoid accidentally hurting themselves. So, it was a little frustrating for them to fight. But in any case, after a little adaptation to the environment, they still firmly suppressed the attacks of the ordinary sentinels.
It was a chaotic battle. Even Y'lisabet had to cast a powerful demonic spell to join the battle. No one had seen the little girl fight before. Only now did they believe that the saying 'like father, like daughter' was also true for the little girl. She cast spells with her bare hands, without the need for incantations. The powerful sulphuric fire and shadow bolts rained down on the enemy like a storm. And looking at the excited red glow on her face, it was obvious that the demon girl was enjoying this moment.
But, they could not afford to waste time on the sentinels. Based on the intelligence of the undead soldiers, this hall was the last barrier before the Queen's chamber. The Queen was behind the door opposite the hall. In order to maintain the connection with the energy source of Nasaton, the Queen could not go too far away from her chamber. So, their target was right in front of them.
"Charge!" Hao Ren threw a graviton bomb and blew up the armored sea monsters and mermaid mages in front of them. He then led the team forward. "Capture the Queen and it's all over!"
Two sea snake-like sentinels wielded their tridents and charged forward. Y'zaks grabbed their tails and tied them together before throwing them out like a meteor hammer. He then turned and pointed to the other side of the hall. "Based on what Ivan said, that should be the entrance to the underground chamber. Split up and go to the brain monster's cell."
"You two, lead the demon hunters and the Nangong siblings to deal with the Queen. The rest of you, follow me to deal with the brain monster. Shaqira, Sorma, you two pick a team each and follow me!" Hao Ren quickly assigned the men. Although it seemed to be a little hasty, it was actually planned from the beginning. He was the only one among them who had experience in dealing with the giant brain, so naturally, he had to go in person. The siren queen was said to be extremely powerful, so Y 'zaks, who was the best among them, and the three expert demon hunters would be there to hold the fort. The rest of the team would balance the combat power of the two teams.
Shaqira and Sorma were still the guides. Even if they did not know the exact route, they were at least familiar with the environment.
As for how to deal with the brain monster, although Hasse had suggested a sneak attack, Hao Ren still decided to wait for a head-on battle. He was doubtful about the success rate of a sneak attack against a monster with telepathic abilities.
No one had any objections to this arrangement. Y 'zaks then smashed the palace gate with a ball of sulfur fire. The heavy alloy gate was immediately shaken, and the powerful shockwave even made people's eardrums burst. The second sulfuric flame from Y'lisabet came just in time as the gate began to shake, and finally blew the gate open completely.
At this time, the surrounding sentinels had been wiped out, and the remaining siren mages and sea monsters could not stop the invaders. Hasse killed the remaining enemies with a crossbow and sealed their souls with a few holy words to delay the resurrection of the sirens. After that, he and Y'zaks strode into the palace of the Queen of the Sirens.
Hao Ren led his group of people to another entrance in the hall.
A fan-shaped sluice was slanting out of the ground in front of them. Rollie was about to go forward and scratch it, but Hao Ren quickly pulled the dumb cat up. "You've got guts now. Lily, go!"
Lily howled to indicate that she understood. She grabbed the alloy frame at the edge of the sluice and pulled it up. As her feet sank a few inches into the ground, the entire sluice was easily torn down by her.
Hao Ren covered his ears. He found that the movement was not small either...
Below the sluice, a dark passage sloped into the distance. There was only a very faint yellow light illuminating the road. It seemed to be an abandoned sewer. According to the information provided by Ivan, this was a shortcut from the outside of the palace to the underground chamber. There were no forks in the road. As long as they killed a few sentinels, they would be able to reach the secret chamber where the brain monster was hiding.
