Beast Throne

Chapter 791

The passage is pitch black, and you can't see your fingers...

It is true that Hei is nothing to Wu Tong, he is a shining light source.The reason for saying this is because the atmosphere of the earth element in the channel is extremely strong, which makes Wu Tong feel very depressed, as if buried in the sand, and even the energy flow in the body becomes slow.

To be honest, Wu Tong was very surprised when he saw the tunnel appear.It is normal for the Hellstone giant to be able to reach the earth's movement. After all, it is an earth element creature, and it once lay on the ground to absorb energy from the earth, and it can clearly perceive even the slightest movement.

However, the Hellstone Giant is not an ordinary earth elemental creature, it is a rare species among rare species.According to Wu Tong's understanding, since the Hellstone is completely isolated from magic elements, the Hellstone giant, whose whole body is made up of Hellstone, cannot use magic.

However, the facts show that Wu Tong's understanding is wrong. The Hellstone giant can not only use earth magic, but also has extraordinary attainments.It didn't need to chant any incantations, it slapped the tunnel with one slap, and went deep into the ground without knowing where it led.This tunnel is not a product of crude and disorderly construction. The upper, lower, left, and right walls are neat and solid, as if they were artificially built.

As expected of the darling of the earth, this move alone is beyond the reach of human mages, not even great mages.Perhaps compared with magic, it is more appropriate to explain the ability of the Hellstone giant with the magic of escaping from the earth in the Taoism of the Immortals.

Of course, it would be better without this depressing feeling.As Wu Tong thought about it, he went deep underground along the passage.The Hellstone Giant has no reason to deceive himself. Garbo should be somewhere underground at this moment, and there is not much movement yet. She probably hasn't finished what she is doing, and maybe it is the most important moment.Thinking of this, Wu Tong couldn't help speeding up again. It's better to catch up early than to be quick. If he could interrupt her at the last moment, he might be able to hit her hard by the way.

It's a pity that this was just Wu Tong's idea. The tunnel of the Hellstone giant did not directly lead to Jiabao's place, but brought Wu Tong to an unexpected place.

In order to prevent being discovered in advance, Wu Tong deliberately hid his aura, and did not illuminate the surroundings with flames, but only focused on moving forward in the dark.I didn't expect to walk, but suddenly my feet were empty, and the passage stopped abruptly without warning, and a huge underground space was replaced.

Because he was not mentally prepared, Wu Tong was in a hurry for a while, and finally managed to stabilize himself. Before he could figure out where he was, two sharp whistling sounds suddenly came from his ears.

Sneak attack!Wu Tong's heart tightened, and he immediately lay down on the ground, regardless of his image.After so many experiences, Wu Tong's combat experience has been very rich. His subconscious mind told him that the two clones must be the sound of sharp blades cutting through the air, and the speed is extremely fast. The one who shot must be a powerful warrior.

Sure enough, just as Wu Tong lay down, two silver saber lights appeared above his head.Even though it was pitch black and there was no light source, the two intersecting saber glows in the shape of an oblique cross were extremely clear, and even stayed for a while before slowly fading away.

The attack failed, but the assailant didn't hesitate, and immediately changed the cut to chop, and attacked Wu Tong again with the two knives downward.This time, Wu Tong had no way to escape, so he had no choice but to use the shadow of Suzaku, leaving a flame clone to take the knife instead of himself. The body immediately moved to a distance, and at the same time sent a large number of fireballs to the attacker.

Now the sneak attacker was puzzled, he didn't seem to realize that he was attacking a fake body, and he continued to swing the knife several times, chopping the flame clone to pieces.Of course, after cutting, he also found that the situation was a bit wrong. As soon as he turned around, he saw a large number of fireballs overwhelming.However, the sneak attacker did not panic, and the two knives in his hands immediately danced together, smashing all the fireballs into pieces.

Of course, Wu Tong didn't want to rely on these fireballs to kill the attackers, it was just a test.Those fireballs did not disappear after they were broken, but turned into countless small floating flames, illuminating this mysterious underground space.

With just one glance, Wu Tong gasped, and even wondered if he had read it wrong.It is not a secret that the imperial city has an underground palace. Almost everyone knows about it, but not many people are qualified to visit it.But this is definitely not an underground palace, but an underground space that has never been exposed.

The Tianyang Empire has a vast territory, vast land and resources, and there are basically no important things except for frequent fights with the White Ice Empire.Due to the presence of magic, large-scale natural disasters rarely occur.In a word, as long as the nobles don't extort excessively, the people of Tianyang can live a decent life, at least food and clothing will not be a problem.

In such a relatively comfortable environment, the monarchs of the Tianyang Empire had nothing to do on weekdays, so they could only find ways to improve their quality of life.Ever since, there was a problem that made the kings quite uncomfortable.

The founding emperor of Tianyang is a person who is very strict with himself.In order not to let oneself be greedy for comfort, the scale of Tianyang Palace is very small, not even as good as the lord's mansion of some great lords.But the thinking of the children and grandchildren is different from that of the ancestors. Seeing that the back gardens of those great nobles are bigger than their own palaces, it is almost impossible to sleep.

The Tianyang Empire did not stipulate that the buildings of the subjects' homes could not be higher than the palace, and the courtyards could not be bigger than the palace.In theory, as long as you have money and land, and you can pay taxes, you can do whatever you want.I think the palace is not rich enough, just renovate and expand it.But this is the problem. No matter how rich the kings of Tianyang Empire are, they can't improve their living environment.This is not a rule set by the founding emperor, but because of the palace magic defense array.

At that time, Emperor Tianyang had a lot of talents under his command, and there were many magicians with extraordinary achievements.While building the palace, these magicians thought hard, thought hard, and finally made an unprecedented feat.They perfectly integrated the magic materials into the building materials, which is equivalent to drawing the magic circle while building the palace.Although it seems very simple, this is actually a very clever approach.

If you want to enter the palace, you must first destroy the magic circle, otherwise even if you enter, you will be trapped inside and cannot get out.And just because the magic circle is integrated into the buildings of the palace, destroying the magic circle is equivalent to destroying the buildings of the palace.But attacking the buildings of the palace will be blocked by the magic defense shield, making it impossible for the attackers to attack.In this way, unless you have the ability to consume all the energy of the magic circle, there is no other way to disarm the magic defense shield.

It's a pity that because of the existence of the magic circle, it became a luxury for the later emperors to want to expand the palace, unless they could make up their minds to abandon such a solid defense.Not only can it not be expanded, but even in-depth decoration is not possible. What if an important part is damaged and the magic circle fails?
Let the court magician solve it?Or not.First of all, these court magicians are very professional. They have great admiration for the feats of their predecessors, and they would rather lose their positions in the court than change them.Furthermore, the days of peace have been too long, and the magic level of the magicians is not as good as before, and they have no ability to make changes.

Helpless, the emperors of Tianyang could only give up.However, it is not enough to expand around, and it is always possible to extend downward.A group of excavators appeared in Tianyang Palace. They didn't dig treasures or find relics, they built underground palaces specially for emperors.After nearly a thousand years, Tianyang's underground palace has become quite large, and it has also become the most mysterious area in the empire.There are very few people who can enter the underground palace, and they have also been given a password, and no rumors are allowed.

Wu Tong had been in the underground palace before, and although he didn't know much about it, he was not ignorant of it, so as soon as he entered this mysterious underground space, Wu Tong judged that it was definitely not an underground palace.

First of all, it is much deeper here, hundreds of meters underground, and the underground palace is definitely not so deep.In addition, when the flames illuminated the surroundings, Wu Tong saw that the decoration here was very simple, it was just tamping the soil and then strengthening it with magic, which did not conform to Tianyang's aesthetic concept at all.

If it was another time, Wu Tong might regard this place as the treasure house of the imperial palace.Not to mention enough privacy, the space is also large enough.In addition, there are mysterious strongmen guarding here, who will kill the intruders without hesitation without asking, completely looking like a treasure house guard.

But what Wu Tong saw told him that this was definitely not a royal treasure house.The underground space is very large, nearly [-] meters high, and the length and width are unknown.Because the flames couldn't fully illuminate it, the distance was still pitch black, almost equivalent to an underground football field.It's just that what's laid underneath is not grass, but a lot of remains.

Through the light of the fire, one can see that there are many types of these remains, including human corpses, remnants of monsters, and even demons. There are countless types.Not only that, but the degree of "freshness" of these remains is also different. Some of them have already turned into a pile of white bones, while others can still see the flesh, as if they have just been thrown down for two days.

Such a miserable place, but very "clean".It stands to reason that so much flesh and blood should spawn a large number of scavengers, such as cockroaches and flies, but there is nothing here except corpses, and Wu Tong doesn't even know how those corpses rotted.

For a moment, Wu Tong suddenly understood something.The Hellstone Giant did not perfunctory Wu Tong, Jiabao must be here, or just left.Garbo is a puppet master, not only can perfectly manipulate puppets, but also has the ability to make puppets.For example, the "rotten meat" that Wu Tong and Nan Na jointly made into the teppanyaki before was made by Jia Bao himself. It was so weird that it couldn't be beaten to death.

In this place, there are a large number of corpses, and there is also Garbo's breath. There is no doubt that this is not a corpse dump, but a laboratory.This is where Garbo is, using the corpses to make the puppets she wants.

If these are just Wu Tong's inferences and not enough to prove, then the unknown swordsman who just attacked Wu Tong is obviously the best example.

This mysterious nameless strong man is not a living creature.
