Chapter 1278: Monster-opening Devil (I won’t buy the old man’s ring DLC)

After the initial excavation of the ruins, Brian learned some of the history of the ruins. It once belonged to a troll tribe called the Bonebreaker Clan in the Troll Empire 10,000 years ago. At that time, they were defeated by the High Elf Kingdom and fled here, and then settled down.

However, one day, a group of mysterious people descended from the sky and occupied the holy land of the Bone Splitter Clan. The latter naturally tried to expel the invaders, but they were killed by the invaders instead. The survivors were also taken as slaves by the invaders and began to transform their holy land. Although the invaders communicated in a language that the trolls could not understand, one of the trolls was smarter and secretly learned a little bit of the invaders' language.

According to what the troll overheard, the invaders seemed to have stolen something and were being hunted down. In order to avoid being hunted down, they decided to hide the thing on this planet and block its signal. This way, the pursuer would not be able to find it, and they would leave here first, wait for the pursuer to leave, and then secretly return to take the thing away.

The reason for choosing the Troll Holy Land seems to be because there is some kind of energy here that can shield and interfere with the signals sent by that thing.

The trolls were certainly unwilling to be enslaved, and they also made their own plans...

This information was like manna from heaven to Brian, so he decisively issued the order.

  Keep digging!

The dwarves were naturally good at digging holes. After digging for a whole day, they finally dug through the collapsed passage.

What appeared before them was a vast void.

Judging from the decorative style of the surroundings, this place obviously belongs to the trolls, but the most eye-catching thing is something like a metal box located in the center of the entire hall. It is placed on a peculiarly shaped base and is steadily suspended in the air.

Several skeletons could be seen around the hall. Because they were so old, they had almost weathered away, leaving only a few traces. But even so, the scene in front of him still made Brian's eyes light up.

"Oh, come and take a look, this should be the troll."

Walking up to the corpse, Brian identified it and quickly came to the conclusion that trolls were not difficult to identify. Their height and elephant-like tusks were their most obvious features.

Most of the corpses here belonged to trolls, but some of the others were very strange. They were short, looked about the same height as dwarves, had heads more like rats, and wore strange, tattered clothes that were unrecognizable. Obviously, from their appearance, they should be the group of "outsiders" mentioned in the troll records.

"Now it seems obvious."

As an experienced archaeologist, Brian just walked around the hall and was able to almost reconstruct the situation at that time.

"The outsiders were performing a ritual when the trolls suddenly attacked them. The outsiders did not react immediately, perhaps because they were concentrating on the ritual or because they did not expect the trolls to dare to resist. In short, the trolls' sneak attack worked."

Having said that, Brian paused for a moment, looking at the corpse in front of him.

“However, the outsiders were too powerful, and many trolls died here. Perhaps realizing that they could not completely defeat the outsiders, the troll shamans triggered an explosion, completely covering the entrance to the passage and burying them.

"So in the end this outsider died alone in the corner?"

Another dwarf looked curiously at a corpse sitting alone in the corner. He sat cross-legged there and did not look like he was killed. He was completely different from the other skeletons lying on the ground. Upon closer inspection, it seemed that the outsiders had won in the end, but were trapped here and could not get out, and eventually died.

Of course, this tragedy that happened ten thousand years ago is meaningless now. What is meaningful is...

"So, that's the transcriber."

  Staring at the metal block suspended on the platform, Brian's eyes lit up and he walked over eagerly. Although he didn't know what this transcriber was, it must be a good thing if it could make an outsider travel thousands of miles to Azeroth to hide!

As for what good stuff it is, just take it back and study it and you will know!

"is this okay?"

Seeing Brian reaching out his hand towards the strange metal block, another dwarf next to him expressed his opinion.

"Isn't it said that once this thing is taken out, it will attract the attention of some terrifying existence? In order to hide it, those outsiders didn't even bring it back to their own world. Do we really want to open it?"

"It's not a big problem. After all, 10,000 years have passed. Even if there was someone paying attention to this thing at the time, I'm afraid there would be no news from them after so much time has passed."

As he spoke, Brian rubbed his hands.

"No matter what, it's just a possibility after all, but the ancient relic in front of us is real! We can't give up our goal for that illusory threat!"

Of course, Brian spoke very righteously, but he was still very cautious. As an archaeologist who has been excavating ruins for many years, Brian certainly knew what traps or alarms these things usually had. So he quickly used various methods to measure them.

The result made Brian somewhat relieved. Perhaps because the ceremony did not end successfully, there was only one alarm device here, and its energy had been almost exhausted over the long years. The reason why this thing was still suspended here was entirely due to the magic power collected by this device.

After making sure there was no danger, Brian reached out without hesitation, grabbed the metal block, and took it down.

However, just as Brian took down the metal block, a strong light suddenly burst out from the surface of the metal block, scaring the others to retreat and look for cover. Fortunately, the strong light only appeared for a moment and then disappeared.

"call……………"

At this time, Brian, who was holding the metal cube, also breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at his companions.

"What do you think? See what I said was right, hahahaha... Quick, let's go back to the camp immediately and study carefully what this thing is!"

Just as Brian excitedly returned to the archaeological camp with the transcriber, Duanmu Huai also received a report from Lumiel.

"An unknown signal reaction was discovered in Azeroth?"

Duanmu Huai frowned when he heard Liumi'er's report.

"Send someone to investigate immediately and find out what the signal is..."

However, at this moment, Aikote also spoke hurriedly.

"Report to uncle, there are abnormal biological reactions approaching this galaxy rapidly!"

"Abnormal biological reaction? Damn, could it be the Tyranid swarm?"

Duanmu Huai was shocked when he heard the report.

  "All fleets prepare for battle immediately!

At the moment when Duanmu Huai finished speaking, a huge beast suddenly appeared from the void, hissing and circling. It looked almost as big as the battleship of the Tribunal, with a snake-like head and body, and on both sides of its body, there were crystal clear wings like insects.

"Ether dragon? How did this thing appear here?"

Duanmu Huai was shocked when he saw this monster.

In the Star Game, there are countless powerful and terrifying creatures in the universe, generally called Leviathan or Star Beasts.

The Leviathan-class creatures in the game are almost equivalent to world bosses. They are characterized by their huge size, fierce firepower, and extremely strong attack.

There are also many Leviathan creatures that players have encountered, including the Ether Dragon, the Star Eater, the Planar Nightmare, the Ghost, the Void Spawn, the Hatched Spirit, and so on.

These Leviathan creatures are powerful, and it is easy for them to destroy a planet, but they are very rare, and their respawning is purely a matter of chance. Duanmu Huai has only seen them a few times in the game, and in reality, he is even less interested in them. He will not find trouble with these guys out of boredom. Besides, the Milky Way is so big, who knows where these world bosses are. In Duanmu Huai's opinion, if you encounter them, just kill them, if you don't encounter them... if you don't encounter them, then you don't encounter them, what else can you do?

But what Duanmu Huai didn't expect was that even though he didn't go looking for trouble with the other party, the other party actually came to him on their own initiative?

At the same time, a dull, loud, murderous voice, accompanied by the roar of a giant dragon, rang out and echoed in everyone's mind.

"How dare you steal my transcriber, you despicable little thieves! I'm going to eat all of you little troublemakers!"

"What is a transcriber? Could it be related to the strange signal just now..."

Duanmu Huai is not a fool. Lumiel had just reported that Azeroth had an unknown signal reaction, and then the Aether Dragon came to kill them. He would never believe that the two had nothing to do with each other.

But no matter what, the other party has come to the door, how can the court tolerate this?

Just kidding, of course not!

"The plan remains unchanged. Lumiel, send a group of people to the location where the signal was generated to see what happened. As for this side... Ecot, go ahead! Activate the void shield and charge forward!"

As a world boss, the Ether Dragon is not so easy to fight, but that is for the players. Duanmu Huai is the God of Destruction, and he has a subordinate like Revatiel who specializes in chanting to buff warships. The fleet of the Inquisition is no less powerful than this Ether Dragon.

Soon, the two sides were confronting each other and fighting each other!
