Chapter 167 I wish you a happy new year!
Triss felt the chaotic energy in her body and nodded.
"Okay, the battle ended quickly. Let's take a rest for an hour. Then we will explore the magical ruins under the Temple Island." Lann explained to Triss, "There is a secret laboratory there with many magic notes and magic... Items, and if I remember correctly, there is also a demon-possessed cat-sect witcher." ...
In
the vast night, a crow with royal blue eyes fluttered around the temple island.
The dark night is its best protective color. It soars freely on the rock walls around the Temple Island, and deliberately shuttles between some rock crevices as if it has some purpose.
Suddenly, it found something. It quickly flapped its wings and raised its body, all the way up, and soon returned to a beautiful red-haired sorceress.
Triss opened her palms, and the crow kept waving its wings and hovering in the air. Suddenly, the feathers and flesh all over its body spread out like light dust and turned into chaotic energy and disappeared in the air, leaving only a crystal skull that lost the support of its floating power. Falling into Triss' palm.
This is the crystal bird skull that Triss sold to Lann. Before, Lann had only used it as a low-level illusion-seeing device. After becoming a demon hunter, Lann no longer had use for this thing.
So after establishing a good friendship with Triss, the skull returned to Triss's hands. After all, this kind of magic prop still needs to be in the hands of a warlock to be most effective.
Triss stared at the hole in the eye socket of the Crystal Bird skull for a long time, and said to Lan, "I found the place you described." The
entrance to the laboratory was not under the water, but behind a mountain covered by a huge rock peak. Following a narrow passage filled with moss, weeds and corpses, the two quickly found the cave.
A huge and regular wall appeared in front of the two people. It could clearly feel the artificial traces, which formed a sharp contrast with the surrounding primitive rock walls.
And Lan knew that this wall was more than just "artificial". At this moment, the gryphon badge around his neck was slowly vibrating.
Triss didn't even need to close her eyes to feel the vague chaotic energy in the surrounding air: "This wall is an illusion. There is a cave behind it. This is really a secret laboratory!" Lan asked
: "Can you dispel this illusion?"
Triss shook her head: "I don't know who the warlock is who arranged this illusion, but his level is higher than mine. I need some special props to help me see through the illusion." If it is
in In the game, players already have special props to dispel this illusion, but now...
"Since it is chaotic energy, it is still a magical method after all - do you think this is okay?"
Triss looked at Lan after hearing this. In En's palm, the most direct and efficient anti-magic method appeared: [Magic-blocking Golden Bomb].
The sorceress took two steps back and made a "please" gesture to Lan.
Pulling the tab open, green dust exploded all over the sky.
Immediately afterwards, on the wall where the magic-blocking gold dust had been lifted, bright-colored patches that looked like burned white paper suddenly appeared. These patches quickly spread and eroded the entire rock wall.
The cold, damp air that had not seen light all year round blew from behind the rock wall along with a gust of wind, and a deep and dark cave appeared in front of the two of them.
"The Demon-Resisting Gold is indeed a good thing."
Lann praised.
Then he raised his hand and hit [Alder's Seal] to blow away the remaining metal dust in the air to prevent them from hurting Triss.
Entering the cave, Lan looked around. There are jagged rocks on the rock wall, dense stalactites hanging upside down from the roof of the cave, and cold plants such as blood moss and wall grass can be seen everywhere.
From time to time there were sounds of "Woo-Woo" coming from the deep darkness. It might be the wind, but it also seemed like there was something indescribable and terrifying hidden in the darkness.
Lan raised his head and drank the second bottle of [Cat] potion tonight. It had been some time since he conquered the Toad Prince, and the effect of the potion had long since passed.
Making a silent gesture towards Triss, the two of them entered slowly and quietly. In less than five minutes, the narrow tunnel at the entrance came to an end.
What appeared next was a spacious, flat, and empty land.
There are obvious traces of human construction here. There are several man-made ornate stone pillars not far away. The floor is covered with worn marble slabs, and there is a brazier for lighting at regular intervals.
Of course, these are not the point.
Lann pulled Triss over and pointed to the fountain in the center of the square. A huge figure stood in the darkness next to the fountain.
"It's the Golem!" Triss lowered her excited voice.
The overall shape of the behemoth was more human-like, with distinct and strangely spiky thick limbs. However, the head seemed to be integrated with the neck and chest, leaving only a ferocious bulge.
As combat units created by warlocks, perhaps their makers thought they didn't need heads, as having hands and feet would be enough.
It was still dormant at the moment, standing in the darkness like a hill, but the two knowledgeable people knew that the silent body contained earth-shattering power.
Lann silently took out the [Construct Bio-Oil] sword oil from the [Inventory], added a hazy halo to the runes of the Sword of the Lake Lady, and then started to pinch the seal with his hand and let Kun En get up.
This is no joke. If you take one punch from this guy, your armor will probably be deformed, scrapped, and remade.
Finally, Lan took out the [Thunder] potion that can strengthen muscle strength and drank it on his back.
Suddenly, he felt an electric shock-like numbness all over his body, and then a steady stream of power was squeezed out of every muscle fiber and nerve.
His dark golden lion eyes were darker now, and the black blood vessels on his face were bulging, making him look hideous and terrifying.
The golem has excellent magic resistance and has no will of its own, so [Igni Sign] and [Alder Sign] have very limited attack power against it, and [Axxi Sign] is completely ineffective. Now Lan En can rely on the sword in his hand.
However, the witcher's coping methods are stretched thin, but the sorceress's response methods are not necessarily limited.
"Golems are driven by magic, but they also have the power of lightning in their bodies to provide energy. Wait for a while, I will use lightning to destroy its internal energy system, and then you can go up. You will get twice the result with half the effort." Lan nodded in agreement
. Liz's plan was to lower her body, like a lion charging up to hunt.
At the same time, the sound of unspeakable and rapid mantras also came from behind Lan.
The chaotic energy in the air suddenly became thicker, and crackling static sounds could be heard from time to time.
The golem in the darkness sensed all this, and its originally plain body suddenly lit up with fluorescent ribbons, densely engraved with unfamiliar and profound magic runes.
The golem is like a robot that can automatically sense. At this moment, it is activated because of Triss's magic.
"Aolong..." As if countless rocks were rolling and breaking in the mountains, a dull sound came from the huge body. Every step of the demon statue can cause a tremor on the ground, and as it gradually wakes up , the footsteps also began to become dense and fast.
Golem charges!
Lan faced the huge creature head-on, and the pressure felt like a city wall with its foundation smashed down towards him. He couldn't see anything else as far as he could see.
Lan took a deep breath, but he didn't move because the sorceress behind him had just stopped spelling.
Accompanied by the last scream-like spell, the slightly trembling tail note merged with the "sizzling" sound of lightning, and a lightning bolt as thick as an arm suddenly flashed from Triss's hand, spanning across the sky in an instant. The battlefield struck the golem.
The golem's thick body smashed the lightning into pieces without any hindrance, and there wasn't even a trace of scorch marks on the surface.
But then you can see tiny arcs of electricity beating on the surface of its body, and the runes on the outside of the golem's skin begin to flash as if there is a short circuit.
Lann picked up Triss and rushed aside.
Behind him, the huge demon statue suddenly became uncoordinated in its hands and feet. He quickly stepped on the air and rolled out in mid-air, hitting the rock wall with a loud bang.
A large number of stalactites fell down like raindrops, and the splash of gravel and smoke could be as high as a person.
This demon statue was actually embedded in the rock wall and couldn't be pulled out for a while!
Triss jumped out of Lann's arms and patted the demon hunter on the back: "Go quickly!" The
purple magic circle rose into the sky, and the light of [Arden's Seal] flickered on the demon statue, although The effect is small, but for the golem, which is already short-circuited in energy supply, it makes things worse.
Easily dodging the fist that looked like a stop-motion animation, the majestic hammer hit cracked the ground, but it couldn't hurt Lan at all.
The rune sword shone with light, and Lan raised his hands high above his head and began to briefly accumulate power.
In this situation, there is no need to use the sword dance anymore, but some more powerful sword moves are needed.
[Outbreak of anger]!
"I wish you... a happy birthday!"
The arc of the rune sword drew a half-moon-like trajectory in mid-air, illuminating the dark chamber for a brief moment.
The current slash of the Sword of the Lake Girl can no longer be described as "sharp". The thin blade of the sword easily tore through the armor composed of rocks and clay on the surface of the golem like broken wood and cloth.
At this moment, half of the golem's body was embedded in the rock wall. Although it was inconvenient to move, it would not be killed by its neck and began to struggle violently.
Lann put his left palm against the enemy's leg without any hesitation, [Alder Seal·Explosion]!
With a bang, the powerful wind pressure and telekinesis impact tilted towards the monster's legs. Although it failed to shake the opponent's armor at all, the shock wave still made the opponent's body embedded in the rock wall lose its balance again.
Then, Lann raised the rune sword high again.
