The road to the third piece of debris was uneventful.
There were traps and monster ambushes, but under Raven's command, the Grey Dwarf team did not suffer any fatal losses. The good hands were still there, and almost all of the dead were Silver Rank.
For this legendary haunted place where ghosts roam everywhere, it's truly a miracle.
Ordinary grey dwarf warriors were increasingly convinced of Raven, but those legendary ones all guarded against Raven with one hand. Unfortunately, time and again it was proven that Raven was the most correct.
"Maybe this guy is a softie?" Lanni whispered in the gruff, dwarven accent of the stout folk to another legendary warrior.
"After things are successful, we don't mind giving him a few bones either." Another guy sneered.
Leiwen pretended not to hear, and the evil fire in his heart surged up to the top of his head.
It's almost done!
The team walked to a large cave, only to see that the inside was no longer rough rock walls, but the entire cave was paved with smooth metallic plates. A dwarf tried to hit it with a hammer, and almost got hurt by the rebound.
"What's inside?" Hamilton asked Raven.
"Right. Here I suggest we divide our forces."
"Why?"
Lei Wen didn't answer directly, instead saying: "Do you know why our team can't upload the rare Golden Demon image?"
Hamilton narrowed his eyes: "You think it's your credit for leading the way?"
"Of course, I played a part in leading the way, but more importantly, it was the Guardian Spirit of the Setan Labyrinth that determined that ordinary legendary golden golems couldn't annihilate us. The reason should be because of you, right?" Raven smiled slightly.
Hamilton didn't deny it, nodding directly: "Maybe so. I am indeed the chosen one of God, and my Lord Raduge can descend through my body at any time. However, it won't be long."
How terrifying is a moderately powerful god who has descended to play tricks on humans?
Raven, who had experienced the divine war in his previous life, was quite clear about this. As the guardian deity of the gray dwarves, Ladug's ascension to godhood that year could be said to have been a bloody one. From a purely technical standpoint, his combat strength would not be inferior to some non-warrior powerful gods.
Once the gods descend, even if their combat power is suppressed a bit, it's still on a catastrophic level.
"However, if things don't go well later on, we'll have to face six Legendary Golden Demon Statues."
"Six Guardians?" Even the arrogant Langni couldn't help but take a cold breath when he heard the legend of the Six Guardians. Hamilton also fell silent. If this was true, once the battle began, except for the four legends, no one on this team would be able to see tomorrow's sunrise alive.
"So I suggest dividing our troops."
Several legendary gray dwarves looked at me, I looked at them, and in the end we all shook our heads collectively.
"We dwarves are brave, but no matter how brave we are, we cannot hide the slowness of our movements. The smaller the scale of battle, the more obvious our shortcomings become. For thousands and hundreds of years, our way of standing has been in phalanx formation, especially in dangerous places."
Leiwen pondered for a moment, pointing to another fork in front of the cave entrance: "Then I suggest you take off your armor, because when we get the third treasure map fragment later, the legendary magic image guarding the altar will be activated. We need to run out and run about 500 meters to enter the small mountain cave where the legendary magic image cannot chase."
How fast can a grey dwarf in full armor run?
In an unencumbered state, a dwarf's run speed is three meters per second.
He is already the sprint champion among the grey dwarfs.
The legendary golden demon statue's movement speed is not fast, roughly only half of a normal human's movement speed.
Unfortunately, compared to the dwarf, it's still terrifyingly fast.
It's like a turtle robbing a snail, and when the snail reports the crime, all it can do is cry and say "it happened too fast, I couldn't see anything..."
After deliberating for half a day, the dwarves finally came up with a compromise: two legendary dwarves led low-ranking dwarf warriors fully armed at the entrance of the cave.
Hamilton, Ronnie and the twelve golden 'Saint Warriors' took off their armor, holding only their weapons to escort Raven and Bell in to retrieve the treasure map fragments.
The huge cave wall was empty and devoid of any light or decorations.
This won't stump Raven with her dark sight and the Grey Dwarf, only Belle is being led by the hand by Raven.
The further in you go, the more spacious it becomes. When a six-star altar with swaying candlelight appears before your eyes, the gray dwarves are all stunned.
Because the six corners of the hexagram correspond to the six giant legendary secret silver demon statues. These demon statues all face the altar, with amber light flickering in their empty eyes.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense. If Raven was right, these magic images would erupt at the moment they took away the treasure map fragments.
The long-standing tacit understanding allowed the twelve Golden Tier warriors to form pairs, each staring intently at a demonic statue.
Hamilton and Langley stood guard on either side of Raven, while Bell stood a little way off from the altar, waiting in the direction they had come from, ready to make a run for it at any moment.
"Are you ready?" Raven asked the Grey Dwarves with a mock grasping gesture.
All the dwarves nodded in unison.
"I count to three... one... two... three!" At the moment I counted to three, Levin began to chant. This time, there was another small surprise, and the fragment inside was actually from Floating Island No. 25. Gritting his teeth, Levin decisively exchanged it for the fragment of No. 12 he had just obtained, and immediately handed it over to Hamilton.
As soon as they got their hands on it, a group of people immediately took off running wildly.
However, after running for dozens of meters, I suddenly found that something was wrong. Why didn't these legendary silver demon statues show any signs of activation?
"Huh?" Raven and Bell stopped first.
Then came two legendary powerhouses, followed by those twelve Golden Tier warriors.
Was it just an unnecessary fright?
"What kind of ghost thing?" A gray dwarf suddenly shouted.
A strange creature suddenly fell from the top of a mountain cave tens of meters high.
This creature, fluttering in the air, looks like a twisted starfish. Ten long necks stretch out from its winged center. At the end of each neck is an ugly, scaly head that resembles a human being. Its eyes burn with an intense green flame.
This monster was too fast, almost in the blink of an eye it arrived right in front of us.
The golden warriors instinctively swung their weapons and hacked at the monster that was rushing towards them. Unfortunately, the dwarf's powerful movements were too slow for this high-speed monster, and the long neck twisted to avoid the dwarf's attack. Immediately, those heads bit fiercely on the dwarf's unprotected body.
"Ah——"
At least 7 grey dwarves were recruited after a brief moment.
Hamilton struck the monster with a single blow of 【Thunderbolt】, barely sending it flying dozens of meters, and several heads were instantly evaporated by the powerful divine technique.
A terrifying scene unfolded, those charred wounds suddenly began to squirm rapidly, with the aid of dark vision, it was clear that small heads were regenerating from the wounds.
"Good heavens! It's actually ten Ghostly Howls!" Even the strong-willed Langni couldn't conceal the shock on his face.
Screaming Fiend is a mutant creature created by the fusion of Flying Heads and Multi-Headed Lizard under magical power. These nightmare creatures inherited the most hideous appearance from their parents, becoming a powerful multi-headed demon with special attacks of exotic birds.
And yet, the ten-headed wailing ghost is extremely rare in this realm, a legendary creature that should only be heard of in travelers' tales from other planes, and yet it appears here.
Good grief!
Something even more terrifying is yet to come. The dwarves who were bitten earlier let out mournful and ear-piercing wails.
Lanny and Hamilton watched in horror as their century-old companions, one by one, rapidly lost hair, grew leathery wings on their ears at a visible rate, sprouted whiskers on their chins and scalps, and developed long, protruding fangs.
In less than thirty seconds, the dwarf's head suddenly detached from his neck and flew up, turning into a flying head barbarian.
"Bastard!"
Lanny's eyes were all red!
Isn't it said that the slow-moving Secret Silver Magic Image was activated? How did it become ten screaming ghostly howls?
Loni and Hamilton almost simultaneously cast their accusing glances at Raven.
A shocking scene happened again.
They saw that beside Raven, two eight-headed wailing ghosts were floating on either side of him like guards. Sixteen eerie heads stared at the dwarf squad!
At the same moment, a strong shockwave suddenly came from the entrance of the cave.
This vibration can only be possessed by the legendary Golden Demon Statue.
Even Ronnie and Hamilton are smart enough to know this is Raven's doing.
Dozens of murderous gazes were ready to torture Raven to death.
Lei Wen suddenly burst into maniacal laughter: "Hahahaha! I've tolerated you all for a long time! You bunch of idiots, giving me a trashy treasure-hunting skill and thinking I'd be your slave? Let me tell you, I'm rebelling!"
