Book 3: Chapter 10.2: Monster
All the disciples of Sky-Forging Castle in the Golden Core stage stayed in place, and some used Divided Mind, manipulating these puppets, keeping up with the steps of brothers and elders in the same door. Elder Liu took disciples who were or above the Nascent Soul stage, holding a variety of powerful magic weapons, flew carefully, approaching the ancient city from the midair to the mountainside.
When they’re above the ancient city, Elder Liu and a group of disciples looked down. The interior of the ancient city was as dark as the description. Even they used illuminate spells, it could not be seen clearly.
Elder Liu pondered for a moment, raised the tool in his hand which looked like a lantern, and poured the powerful energy of the Deity Transformation stage into it. The flame inside the lantern suddenly turned into a sea of fire, spreading for several miles, and from that sea, several fire dragons flew out. Under the control of Elder Liu, they circled and roared and crashed into the ancient city.
Fire dragons’ head crashed into the darkness that enveloped the ancient city, and then, just like a bull sank into a mud swamp, disappeared without any trace.
“It won’t work.”
Elder Liu put away the flames and further heightened his vigilance.
He led his disciples to the gate of the ancient city slowly, and then, just like knowing their arrival, the gate of the ancient city slowly opened toward the inside automatically.
“Charge your energy! Be alert!”
Elder Liu took a deep breath and shouted to the disciples.
At the same time, all the disciples carried out the forging mentality technique to increase the resistance of the mental attack. Sure enough, at the next moment, from inside the ancient city, a bell sounded.
When the bell’s sound came into the ears of the disciples, it turned into a terrible buzz, as if there were hundreds of thousands of people, who were chanting to you incessantly in your ears. The language, as if there are hundreds of heavy hammers, was bombarding your spirit and will one after another, but fortunately, Elder Liu let these disciples exercise their forging mentality technique first to resist, otherwise their minds would be directly destroyed by this mental attack.
But even in this case, some disciples who still lacked in mind training and cultivation were shocked by this attack.
The ancient city seemed to be aware that these comers could not be taken by the bell alone, so it changed the attack type. The darkness in the city surged for a moment like a hard object, then suddenly from the darkness, a group of strange humanoid creatures came out.
These humanoid creatures looked like were directly generated from darkness, and there were white lines on their bodies, forming strange runes.
After walking out of the darkness of the ancient city and seeing Elder Liu and the disciples, these dark creatures’ “head”, which was like a hollow mask, suddenly cracked a large crack with intertwined teeth, which should be their mouths. These dark creatures screamed at them, like a bell. These screams were also mixed with the mental attack, but it was much weaker than the bell.
They screamed and moved towards the crowd. During the charge, black flames were spurted out behind their limbs and body, which gave the disciples a sense of threat.
Elder Liu raised his hand and waved on the lantern, turned the fame into a wall of fire, swept the black creatures that rushed out. After the fire attack, dozens of black monsters fell on the spot, the black shell started to fall off on half of them, revealing the body below.
“Elders, those are the missing sergeants of Dongling Kingdom!”
Someone saw the clothes on several of the dead body and exclaimed suddenly.
“It’s not time to pay attention to these things.”
Elder Liu looked at the remaining half of the black monsters who stood up from the ground. Although he just shot casually just now, after all, it was the flames released by a Deity Transformation stage cultivator, coupled with one of the highest magic weapons of the Sky-Forging Castle. Half of the black monsters were still surviving, and judging from this ability to resist, they were not weaker than Golden Core cultivators.
“Ready to fight!”
Elder Liu took a deep breath, but he still had no idea.
A dozen common Golden Core cultivators were nothing to him, but Elder Liu can remember that there were thousands of people who disappeared with the ancient city, among them there were also some Foundation Establishment cultivators, and even two Golden Core cultivators.
If ordinary people and soldiers, after being reconstructed by the ancient city, can have the strength of Golden Core cultivators, then what kind of strength reconstructed cultivators will have?
Looking at half of the monsters that screamed, Elder Liu’s heart was swaying, like the light of his lantern.
