Chapter 332: Open the door and deliver the food! (4.3k)
At the same time, in the dark and slippery underground corridor.
Lorne looked at the lines extending in all directions like a spider web in front of him and the missing heroes, his eyebrows slightly raised.
We are all adults and everyone needs to be responsible for their own actions.
Although he is a shepherd, he is not a nanny, and he cannot be the answer for everyone.
But other divine-blood heroes can be discarded selectively. Heracles and the Spartan twins are related to the [Destiny] that he and Zeus compete for, and cannot be easily compromised here.
Lorne calmed down, and his senses spread like a tide to the surroundings, searching for the aura belonging to the twins of Hercules and Sparta.
Fortunately, they were wearing holy clothes specially made by the Holy Land. Even in the dark underground, Lorne could still vaguely sense the location of the two of them.
However, at this moment, their auras are mixed with a bunch of violent and dark divinities. They have obviously got into hands with the giant spirits underground, and the situation is not optimistic.
Lorne had no time to think about it and immediately activated the divine speed of [Goat] and shot towards the area where the two of them were.
However, as soon as he stepped tens of meters away, the surrounding environment changed instantly.
On the lake where the red and black mud was flowing, an ever-changing jet black cube twisted on its own, and scarlet dark magic lines gradually covered the entire surface of the pitch black container.
The atmosphere of death, gloom, and violence filled the air.
At the same time, a ruined world came into Lorne's eyes: the stars in the sky no longer existed, replaced by a dark, hollow celestial body with red and black mud flowing around the boundary.
The hole continued to pour malice into the devastated land, all the light was swallowed up, the red-black mud in the lake stirred, and countless dead bones and wreckage floated upward.
Among them are nymphs with broken wings, careless Titans and monsters, twisted golden corpses, and bronze giants with severed heads...
"Gee, it seems like a special guest has arrived."
Amidst the laughter like silver bells, a charming girl stood on the lake, blinking her amber eyes, looking at the guests invited to this dead world with interest, and couldn't help but roll her pink tongue , his eyes gradually became intense.
"You smell so good..."
"puff!"
The nameless ax sword slashed through the darkness with a sad light of lightning, cutting off the huge heads of the two giant spirits.
However, the two headless bodies did not fall over. A red-black divine light erupted from the broken necks, automatically pulling the heads that fell to the ground to the incision.
With a burst of flesh and blood, the two giant spirits in the darkness returned to their original state in the blink of an eye. They roared angrily, waved their arms covered with hard stones, and continued to charge towards the powerful enemy who had given them death.
Hercules frowned and relied on his extraordinary intuition to wave the nameless ax sword in his hand one after another to block the fierce attacks of the giant spirits.
Harsh explosions similar to metal collisions exploded one after another in the narrow space, causing gravel to fall and the entire corridor to shake.
The Spartan twins, who were responsible for clearing the way in the opposite direction, looked gloomy when they saw the scene in front of them and the dozen or so divine blood heroes around them who were almost all injured.
In this special home field, the giant spirits with the protection of the earth can continuously absorb the divinity of the earth, making them almost immortal!
On the contrary, heroes on the human side often awakened different bloodlines and possessed different talents, and many were unable to adapt to the dark underground environment. They faced the mysterious attacks of the giant spirits and their extraordinary self-healing. They continued to suffer casualties and were now completely at a disadvantage.
The best way is to withdraw from this dangerous area as soon as possible, return to the ground to regroup, and take advantage of human beings' ability to coordinate arms to reverse the disadvantage.
But it is easy to get in, but difficult to get out.
The passage we came from was closed at some point, and the path we originally took was completely different from what we remembered.
It seems that this dark underground is alive and constantly changing its passages, intending to cooperate with the giant spirits and trap them here.
Now, trouble...
The twin brothers looked at each other, their eyebrows knitted together, and they looked at the cheating teammates around them with some hatred.
The divine blood heroes who had ventured in earlier realized that they were in the wrong and lowered their heads in embarrassment. They gathered around the Spartan twins and Hercules, trying to find a way out.
"There's wind ahead!"
A descendant of Hermes pointed to a dark branch on the left front and reminded excitedly.
If there is air movement, could this be a path to the ground?
The twin brothers hesitated for a moment, then turned around to see more and more djinn gathering in the darkness behind them and Hercules, who was gradually becoming unable to do what he wanted. They gritted their teeth and shouted helplessly.
"The lightly wounded are outside, the seriously wounded are inside. Pay attention to the stone walls on both sides. Don't get too close to these things. Let's go!"
More than a dozen divine-blood heroes nodded immediately, spontaneously formed a stable formation, followed the footsteps of the Spartan twins, and got into the branch road.
There were originally more than thirty heroes who entered the underground, but after experiencing several sudden attacks by underground giants, they had lost one-third of their number.
Having learned such a painful lesson, even the most arrogant and reckless hero knows what to do at this moment to have a greater chance of survival.
Seeing that the last teammate had also entered the branch, Hercules, who was responsible for breaking up the rear, raised his arm wrapped in golden lightning and punched the stone wall next to him.
"Boom!"
With a dull explosion, the broken stones fell down, filling the passage in an instant, temporarily blocking the pursuit of the giant spirits.
Seeing this, Hercules frowned dissatisfied.
He originally planned to blow up the entire passage, and the divine power he inspired was theoretically sufficient, but the effect achieved was far from what he expected.
It seems that there is some kind of power in this dark underground that blocks the starlight and thunder from the sky, invisibly limiting his performance.
Earth Mother Goddess Gaia, do you want to favor these evil-doing misfortunes?
Hercules murmured and saw the collapsed rubble in front of him begin to squirm and sink. He swung his ax several more times to collapse more rubble to slow down the pursuit of the giant spirits.
Immediately, under the shouts of his companions, he turned to follow the team.
And when this burly figure also jumped into it, the entrance to the forked road quietly closed.
In the darkness, the Spartan twins who believed in Apollo used their divinity as a light source to illuminate the way forward. A descendant of Hermes and a believer of Artemis were responsible for finding the direction and guarding against surrounding dangers.
Hercules, who followed a little later, did his part to organize the gods who were still capable of fighting, guarding the two wings and the rear of the team to prevent a sudden attack by the djinn clan.
Seemingly frightened by the tight formation of the heroes and the bravery of Hercules, the giants in the darkness have not launched an attack.
But as time went by, this strange calm made the twin brothers increasingly uneasy.
"There's light ahead!"
The **** of Hermes who led the way shouted excitedly, and everyone was delighted and followed the sound.
After walking a hundred or ten meters, everyone's vision suddenly became clearer.
A large stretch of continuous wilderness came into view. Eleven hundred-meter temples made of black volcanic stone stood majestically on the wilderness and surrounded the central tower in the form of a ring.
The huge tower seemed to be engraved with the light mark of a sickle, glowing scarlet in the darkness.
Similarly, the eleven surrounding temples are also engraved with similar ancient emblems, including hourglasses representing time, waves representing the ocean, flames representing light, books symbolizing memory and scales upholding justice...
However, some of these coats of arms that contain divinity are vivid scarlet, some are gray and dead, and some are resistant golden.
But no matter what, they are gathered here in this way. Blue-white flames were ignited from the abyss that seemed to lead directly to Hades, and surged around the eleven temples. The eleven emblems of the gods that flickered on and off were like pearls that were forcibly connected in series, and together they formed a burning crown in the dark underground. The appearance is guarding the tall tower in the center.
Invisibly, the ancient, powerful, and violent divine will rushed toward them. The divine-blooded heroes at the entrance felt like they were in the deep sea and the vast starry sky under ten thousand meters. Their breathing was stagnant, and their thoughts and actions were stripped away bit by bit.
"when!"
The dark, nameless axe-sword hit the stone wall on the side, making a harsh explosion.
"Wake up!"
The roar like a lion's roar behind him shocked everyone physically and mentally, and their consciousness returned.
"Something's not right up front, get back!"
Hercules continued to shout warnings, looking at the palace complex with rare fear and awe.
He heard from his teacher Perseus that before the Olympus gods ruled the world, Cronus, the king of the Titans, was the only king who ruled everything. Moreover, unlike today's god-king Zeus, Cronus's dictatorship was more domineering. The sky, earth, Hades and ocean were all theoretically under his jurisdiction.
The remaining eleven Titan gods must obey his control, like the pearls adorning his crown.
Although after the Titan War, Cronus and the system of gods on Mount Othrys that he represented no longer exist, it is still possible for these old masters to return as immortal gods.
Seeing the eleven temples guarding the tower in front of him, as well as the eleven divine emblems that flickered on and off above, Hercules couldn't help but think of some possibility.
The djinns are performing a ritual.
A ceremony to recall the old gods and welcome the Titan King Cronus!
If this is the home of the ceremony, then they...
When Hercules thought of this, he suddenly became excited and his expression changed drastically.
"Go, get out of here!"
"What's wrong?"
"We were fooled! This is not an exit at all, but a sacrificial site!"
Hercules gritted his teeth in response, then took a deep breath and looked gloomily at the towering underground buildings.
"We are the sacrifices prepared by the djinn to liberate the old gods of Titan!"
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but be shocked.
The Titan gods were defeated and sealed by the Olympus gods, and as divine-blooded heroes, most of them had the blood of the Olympus gods flowing through them, so they were obviously the best sacrifices to break the seal.
Through the dim light at the entrance of the cave, several sharp-eyed gods saw a dozen human corpses whose blood had been drained in front of the Titan Temple, and cold sweat suddenly broke out on their foreheads.
"It's those people who died in the battle and were lost before!"
Seeing the tragic situation of their dead comrades, there was a sound of swallowing among the heroes. They no longer dared to stay here and quickly turned around and retreated.
But after walking a few steps, everyone discovered that the path they came from had turned into an icy rock wall at some point.
What's even more terrible is that the trembling of the earth can be heard from the underground wilderness behind, and dozens of taller and burlier giant spirits emerge from the ground, carrying weapons such as stone knives and giant hammers, and approach with a sinister smile.
"O great **** Zeus, your mighty light protects me!"
Seeing the giants approaching, Hercules, who had retreated as usual, solemnly chanted a blessing, arousing the divinity and divine power in his body to the extreme. At the same time, he raised the nameless ax and sword in his hand high, and wrapped his right arm with thunder. Swing out nine times in an instant.
Heavy afterimages tore through the air, tore through the earth, and slashed at the incoming giant spirits.
"Dang-dang-dang!"
However, with the explosions of gold and iron clashing, the incoming giants only staggered back a few steps, and then stood back up in the horrified eyes of the heroes. The shallow wounds on their bodies and limbs healed in the blink of an eye. He once again stepped towards the cave where everyone was.
Seeing the streaks of scarlet majesty covering the giants and the simultaneity of the emblems of the gods above the Titan Temple, Hercules' heart sank to the bottom.
With divine protection, these giant spirits have received a response from the Titan God.
"immortal!"
"immortal!"
"immortal!!"
Under the illumination of the heraldry, the giant spirits were gaining momentum, making fanatical and high-pitched shouts, and rushed forward together, preparing to drag out the lambs hiding in the cave and sacrifice them to the gods they served.
In desperate situations, the heroes look hideous.
"If we don't have an easy time, these **** won't have a good life either!"
"That's right, left and right are dead, fight them!"
"Come together!"
Amidst the shouts and shouts, the crowd heard the sound of weapons being unsheathed, and divine light patterns lit up, as small as fireflies, but as bright as stars.
As heroes, they can be reckless, arrogant, and morally inferior, but they will never allow cowardice to grow in their hearts.
In this cruel era, crises are everywhere and human lives are as insignificant as dust.
But those who fight hard will be rewarded!
Throwing spears flew out, light arrows shot, and daggers slashed. None of the heroes flinched, and they all burst out with all their courage and strength.
However, after a jingling sound, the giant spirits were unharmed.
The courage of the weak cannot bridge the gap in strength.
Seeing the heavy hammers falling in front of the cave entrance and the stone knives being swung, everyone was in despair and burst out in despair. They all chose to go upstream, following the footsteps of Hercules and the twin brothers, and rushed to the Temple of Titan in the wilderness.
Since those old gods want to use them as snacks, let's smash their teeth first!
The giant spirits were stunned for a moment, then became furious, raising their weapons and smashing them at the group of sheep on the ground who were trying to offend the divine power.
And at the moment when the overwhelming shadow fell on the sheep, a low and ethereal voice came from the darkness.
"Finally found you..."
The next moment, the dome above the Titan Temple was torn apart, blazing pure white flames poured down, and the majestic ether surged forward.
The red light on the three giant spirits that bore the brunt was annihilated, and their bodies were instantly reduced to ashes. Even the floc that remained after burning was decomposed in an instant, completely losing the possibility of regeneration.
Peng! Peng! Peng!
Immediately afterwards, blazing white flames shot out in all directions, hitting the nearby giants like meteors.
"Ahhhhh..."
The underground monsters hit by the blazing white flame burned violently like firewood poured with hot oil. In a blink of an eye, their skin and flesh were torn apart, and they lay on the ground screaming and rolling wildly, trying to extinguish the terrible flames.
"Why don't you leave quickly?!"
Carrying golden wings on his back and holding a dead branch-like spear in his hand, he pointed at the big hole above his head and shouted a reminder.
Seeing that the hole leading straight to the surface seemed to be shrinking, the madness in everyone's eyes faded away, and their hearts trembled. They hurriedly picked up their teammates and flew out of this strange underground wilderness.
