through the dark road

Chapter 96 Morse code of the ashes

The two arc-shaped corridors with a width of more than three meters can only rush up a dozen monsters at a time, and they have a certain hindering effect on the attacks of long-range monsters. For the defensive forces on the terrace at this time, the pressure is not too great .

But the scale and duration of the monster attack caught everyone by surprise, and the defensive battle lasted until the evening.

Night was approaching, but the monsters in the courtyard were still determined not to give up. They had been stimulated by the previous blood meal, and they coveted the human breath on the high platform even more.

Several erratic afterimages suddenly emerged from the ground of the terrace, and some job-changers were caught off guard by a sneak attack, and the mana value that they were struggling to maintain suddenly became unsustainable, and appeared in the defensive formation. There was confusion.

Monsters like ghosts simply ignored this terrain. As the night deepened, more and more ghosts flocked to the job-changers on the platform from the ground and behind the terrace.

At this time, although several teams came to support from the teleportation formation, these ghosts were hard to defend against, and they were born with the attribute of burning mana. They posed a great threat in this kind of high-consumption defensive battle.

And a bigger threat has also appeared in the night.

"Pollution monster! It's a pollution monster! If you have low poison resistance, back off!" There were bursts of nervous reminders from the defensive job changers.

"Even the monsters from the most core area have surrounded here!? There are two walls separated by two walls, how come even the pollution monsters appear here?" Everyone was horrified, and they all looked like they were facing a big enemy.

Mo Bei saw the huge fangs and mouth of the pollution monster rushing forward, which looked not much different from the crippled monster, and was still surprised by everyone's reactions.

I saw that the pollution monsters moved very quickly, and their top-heavy body structure seemed to be completely unhindered. They pretended to be a path between the monsters with almost no gaps, and even trampled on other monsters, rushing towards the terrace.

The necromancer behind Mo Bei immediately raised his hand to raise a bone wall, and then clenched his thin palms suddenly, triggering a corpse explosion on the other side of the bone wall.

The two extremely mana-consuming spells failed to hinder the disabled monsters too much. They climbed up the bone wall and bit on the jagged bones, and the bone fragments burst into the air, and the mucus in their mouths fell on the bones. On the wall, it quickly penetrated into the gaps between the closely connected bones, corroding bursts of black air.

It's so poisonous!
Mo Bei's eyelids twitched. With such a strong bite force and extremely poisonous, it was like a giant Gila monster.

The one-foot-long poisonous lizard can make people run away, and the size of these pollution monsters is almost the same as a bull. No wonder everyone reacted like that before. It really is the core monster of the monastery. Under the strengthening of Andariel become extremely scary.

Under the joint action of biting and corrosion, the bone wall collapsed after only holding on for a few breaths. The pollution monster opened its ferocious mouth, and flung itself into the crowd.

Facing the ferocious swarm of pollution monsters, the job-changers did not dare to show their strength, and the defensive situation suddenly became a bit chaotic.

Mo Bei's poison resistance and defense are extremely high, and he seems relatively calm in dealing with it, but seeing that other pollution monsters have already rushed into the crowd, plus ghosts floating in the air, it is meaningless to stick to this corridor at this time.Immediately guide everyone to gather in the center of the terrace, and the purification halo will cover without distinction.

Feeling that the toxin damage and corrosiveness of the crippled monster had been greatly reduced, and the health value was still rising steadily, everyone settled down and calmly dealt with the monster's siege.

During this period of time, the number of teams approaching the teleportation station increased greatly. Several teams of job changers who were about to go to the teleportation station to spend the night saw the frenzied monster group from a distance, and immediately stopped their steps, and immediately tore the teleportation scroll after exiting the safe range. , After returning to the camp, he stepped into the teleportation circle again non-stop, and went to support the defense.

Those job-changers who used human corpses to lure the strange group seemed to have thrown away all the corpses and stumps they were carrying, and turned around and rushed towards the spire of the cathedral, which shimmered in the night sky.

One of the teams approached the teleportation station in a detour, and seemed to want to take advantage of the terrain to see its masterpiece.

He looked coldly at the high platform where various skills were flashing in the distance, and the battle was in full swing, and he left expressionlessly after a while, as if he was not satisfied with the result.

Perona's eyes were fixed in the battle, she concentrated her energy to sense it, and immediately signaled to Mo Bei.

Mo Bei was warned, and glanced in the direction they were leaving with cold eyes.

"No wonder all the monsters gathered in such a large area, it really is someone's trick!"

As more teams joined the defense, the situation on the terrace gradually became clear. The monsters were blocked in the corridors on both sides again, and some mages even began to use spells to bombard the monsters under the high terrace.

The monsters in the monastery were not low in IQ. Seeing that the high platform could not be attacked for a long time, the madness gradually subsided. At this time, they were bombarded by spells. Some monsters without long-range attack ability gave up the siege first and left the courtyard below.

The retreat of monsters can always cause a chain reaction, and the desire of the monsters behind to attack suddenly drops sharply, and gradually they stop rushing into the corridor.

The job-changers took advantage of the victory to pursue and formed a formation to counterattack under the high platform, completely killed the monster group, and then immediately retreated to the terrace.

Seeing that the battle was finally over, Granbell immediately looked for Mo Bei in the crowd, but after some searching, he sighed in disappointment.When I came to the edge of the terrace and looked into the depths of the night, I still found nothing.

"Where did the three-person team go?" Some job transferees nearby noticed that the three of Mo Bei seemed to have left, and began to ask each other.

"That... seems to be Perona from the Mage Guild." A mage said uncertainly, gesturing a height with his hand on his chest.

"It's very similar! But how long has it been since she changed jobs?"

"It should be them! Many camp guards are spreading rumors that they have killed more than one wizarding team from Lu Gaoyin. Looking at their strength now, it shouldn't be nonsense."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was in an uproar. Most of them hadn't experienced fighting among fellow job changers, let alone with those teams that could cross the Aranoch Desert.

They also had some contact with the mercenary teams that followed the caravan in the camp. Most of them were brave and stoic guys, which one was easy to deal with.

The three of Mo Bei had indeed escaped from the crowd during the counterattack just now, and chased in the direction where the four left.

Due to the containment of the battle, Perona has been unable to perceive their existence.

But he judged that the other party should be going to the cathedral in the core area of ​​the monastery. The relationship between the two parties was endless, and they were almost cheated. How could they let them get away like this.

After crossing the two walls in the core area, sporadic monsters began to appear around them. Although there were not many of them, they still made Mo Bei puzzled.

Which way did the other party go, and why the distribution of these monsters looked like no one passed by.

He wondered if he was chasing in the wrong direction, but at this moment, he had no way of perceiving the other party's whereabouts. Even changing the direction would not help, so he could only continue towards the cathedral.

The cathedral, which has been continuously expanded and heightened for several centuries, appeared in front of the three of them. Although it was dilapidated and withered, the spiers that seemed to go straight to the sky, and the towers lined with spearmen and phalanxes still looked extremely magnificent.

After approaching the cathedral, Perona suddenly felt another sense, but it was fleeting.

It seemed that they were not chasing in the wrong direction, and the three of them stepped into the cathedral decisively.

Looking up at the huge dome, he felt dizzy like the world was turned upside down. Mo Bei couldn't help but sigh, without the support of the magic circle, it would be impossible to create such a miracle anyway.

Although there is no lighting equipment such as torches and lamps, the light here is still enough to see things. It seems that some materials that can produce weak light were used during construction.Under this kind of light, the entire main hall looks extremely solemn and quiet.

The ground ahead was covered with a heavy poisonous mist, which only settled an inch or so above the ground, looking like a green swamp.

The three of them all had high poison resistance, so they tentatively stepped into the poisonous mist. The air flow brought by their footsteps stirred up the poisonous mist, but it seemed that something was awakened. On the guarded pulpit, there was a light "click" sound suddenly.

Only then did they notice that on the podium, wisps of poisonous mist slowly flowed down along the edges of the steps and handrails.After the soft sound, the poisonous mist began to surge like aroused dust, and then was suddenly sucked back to the pulpit.

"boom!"

A turbulent wave of poisonous gas centered on the pulpit, spread out like a shock wave, engulfing the three of them irresistibly.

The poisonous gas instantly enveloped the main hall, which can accommodate thousands of people, and even rolled up the dome.

At this time, on the pulpit, slowly stood a skeleton made of jasper.There seemed to be a trace of cold emotion in the empty eye sockets, quietly watching the three people who were swallowed by the poisonous mist.

That is the leader-level monster sitting in the cathedral, the ashes.

"I said...were you lazy just now?"

Suddenly, a voice came out of the thick poisonous gas. Mo Bei waved the shield in his hand like a fan, trying to disperse the poisonous fog around him with disgust.

"Did someone pass by before? Why didn't you stop it?"

The ashes were silent for a moment, two dark green flames gradually ignited on the two withered palms, and then the jaws opened and closed, making a "click, click" sound.

"What did it say?" Mo Bei tilted his head and asked Perona.

Perona almost exploded, do you think this is like some language! ?

Mo Bei rolled his eyes at Perona, and when he spoke to the ashes again, his tone was quite harsh.

"Hurry up and stop for a while! We have never learned Morse code!"
