Dark Shadow Shrine

Because the contest is scheduled for the autumn harvest, this year's date is from September 11th.

It's only the beginning of August, and there's plenty of time. Taking advantage of the time, Lei Wen decided to get out the treasure of the devil Gargos, the cruel official, first.

Raven knows the strategy for the treasure cave of Gargos, but he has never been there himself. Facing the treasure of a fallen god, one cannot be too careful.

Gargos was deeply entangled with the Nine Hells, even though Lei Wen didn't think there would be a demigod-level devil coming out, out of insurance, Lei Wen decided to bring the paralyzed girl Sainz with him.

With Sainz taken away, there will be emptiness on the side of Colin Pais.

Raven wrote letters one by one, and asked the old man Jacob of the Golden City Adventurer's Guild to forward them to see if the group of legendary powerhouses who hung out with him at the beginning were willing to help. There is no exit.

The end result was that Paros still didn't come out, but two legendary powerhouses were invited to help instead. It's not to join Corinthians, it's purely to help sit in town for a while. The two are the legendary barbarian Baru and the middle-aged legendary mage Monterey.

For Baru, Raven was not surprised, this guy is a guy who is good at eating, drinking, and having fun. After saving a group of beautiful girls back then, they are now all pregnant by him. This guy didn't have enough rent money to spend, so he came to work as a mercenary.

On the contrary, in Monterey, Raven was more surprised.

"I have already passed the best time to attack the sanctuary. I was forcibly promoted to the legendary level in the early years, which left me with a lot of hidden injuries. Unless I am willing to become a lich in this life, otherwise this is my limit. Compared with I'd rather be quiet and do some research. I'll be in Colin Pais for a few months, I can't say for sure. But for now I'd like to do you a favor. After all, I feel like I'm witnessing a Rise of the Miracle Man."

Very honest words, without arrogance or deliberate flattery, the middle-aged legendary mage really purely regards Lei Wen as a friend worthy of association.

Raven thanked him too.

In this way, on August 5th, Lei Wen took Sainz and Baimao and embarked on a treasure hunt.

The treasure of Gargauth is not far from the City of Gold. An earldom located not far from the Gold Merchant Road. On the bright side, Gargos's alias was Gust, and he was a real earl of the Erwin Empire. I'm getting older, and I've been reclusive in recent years.

No one ever knew that Count Gust was an evil god.

With so little manpower on hand, Raven certainly wouldn't choose to attack an earldom. Even if you can win, you will be in trouble. Especially not long after the eldest prince of the Erwin Empire was killed by Tinos, the entire empire was like a mad dog. Look around for someone to vent your anger on.

oh. That's right, Tinos is playing games with the ancient shadow dragon Xinli on the shadow plane. I don't know if I'm playing a crashing quiz game or counting ants.

Raven didn't need to attack the Earl's Territory, as there was a secret passage in the back mountain where the Earl's castle was located. Through the deep and dense jungle, Lei Wen easily found the entrance to the treasure on the steep and treacherous back mountain. A rock carved with seemingly ordinary but mysterious inscriptions.

"Let all the hypocritical and loyal people in the world die."

Well, Gargauth's secret language is so painful.

The boulder in front of him turned into a phantom, which no longer had substance, and Raven entered it with Baimao and Sainz.

The passage inside spirals downwards. After walking for about fifteen minutes, Lei Wen and his party came to a circular platform.

On the platform, twelve strange gemstones are floating above the platform at the twelve o'clock position, and at the bottom of the channel is a huge blood-red energy pool. The obvious hell breath escaped from the pool, making people very uncomfortable. I always feel that there will be a devil suddenly jumping out of the pool.

Raven stopped Bell's plan to summon Thunder ahead of time, but made Sainz and the Shadow Killer hiding in Raven's shadow ready to attack any monster that rushed towards the team.

There are four passages beside the energy pool, leading to the four directions of east, west, north and south respectively, but in front of the passage, Raven sensitively discovered the problem.

This is a typical magic trap for alarm. Any living thing walks by and its heat is felt. In order to notify the people inside.

The point is, the alarm trap was installed only recently.

"Have Gargauth's followers not broken up?" Sainz asked in a low voice.

"Not only didn't it. It was forwarded instead." Lei Wen nodded his head because he heard the faint hell language coming from the end of at least two passages. Only mid-level or above devils have such a standard hell language.

Devils are cunning and insidious. Under the command of Asmodeus, the pearl of hell, each hell king has a different secret sect. Gargos, known as the tenth king of the Nine Hells, fell, and it was absolutely normal for his terrified followers to throw themselves into the arms of other great devils.

Raven hesitated.

When you attack a demon, you are only hostile to a single creature. But when you attack one devil, you are challenging them all.

Devils like Gargos who leave their bodies on the main plane of Ultron Continent are rare after all, and more devils will only come to a projection. Killing him on the main plane is not the end at all, but a beginning.

The killed devil will gather more companions to carry out a grander conspiracy against you.

In fact, for devils, property is a means to achieve their goals, and under normal circumstances, they have no special preference for money. While treasures can come in handy in a devilish plot, devils are quick to give up their treasures if trouble arises.

Lei Wen once considered whether to use coercive means to show his strength and force the devils here to give up the treasure. After thinking about it, don't do it.

Devils are very vindictive, and to be stalked by them is endless.

In fact, Lei Wen's behavior is also very similar to that of the devil. He often weighs the pros and cons, and likes to deceive people. He also has his own bottom line. He will fight to the end at all costs for the things he wants to protect.

It's just that Raven's bottom line and integrity are much higher than the devil's.

In theory, yes.

Lei Wen led the people back out the same way.

One day later, Bai Mao, who had been struggling for a long time, finally got a break.

"Boom——" Bell slapped open the castle gate of the Earldom with a bear paw with the power of lightning. Behind him, there are countless roaring paladins rushing in with their weapons raised angrily.

"Men on the left and women on the right, kneel down for me! The devil stands in the middle waiting to die!" Bell laughed and stood at the city gate with his hips akimbo.

"Stay out of the way!" A paladin ignored Bai Mao and rushed from the side.

"Your ass is too big... Keep out of the drawbridge." Another paladin rushed over.

"..."

Baimao felt bored for a while, so he had to follow and charged into the castle. On the first floor of the basement of the castle, he encountered a chain demon, and immediately started fighting with that guy.

"Evil will be purified!" When facing demons or devils, paladins will always look like they have been beaten. This time, also benefiting from someone's detailed information, the paladin rarely caught the Devil's Cult by surprise.

Under normal circumstances, once they are warned, the devil residents of this base will first enter their respective combat positions, go to those terrains that are easy to defend and difficult to attack, and can launch a surprise attack on the invaders. They are then dispatched in order of increasing importance to repel the invaders.

Thralls and squires are used to wear down the enemy and drain their resources, while stronger defenders are ready to strike down the remaining invaders and wipe them out.

Leaders of the organization retreat to safety, monitoring developments on the battlefield through divination tools or verbal reports from couriers.

Normally, it does.

But the shameless Lei Wen used his gorgeous infiltration and memories of this place to figure out almost all the traps and alarm systems. Another classic move [fossils into mud] allowed the paladin troops in charge of the raid to directly enter the core area of ​​the treasure cave, and the first time they met, they entangled the three most powerful high-ranking devils: two horned demons. Demon, a hama demon.

Bell's attack outside the castle was actually an encirclement and suppression of the devil's servants and attendants.

Just as the paladins and devils in the castle and underground palace were having a fight, Raven sneaked into the underground palace again with Sainz.

Since there were already a large number of paladins who had opened the way ahead, these guys in heavy armor were running like a herd of elephants, and almost all alarm traps were triggered by them.

Raven and Sainz didn't run into any trouble.

But when he walked to an inconspicuous dark corner full of sundries, Lei Wen pointed to his feet. Sains heard it instantly. There was a trap door under the two of them, and if you listen carefully, you can hear a soft scraping sound coming from under the door, like many daggers being dragged across the floor.

Chain devil!

In addition, many light footsteps could be heard, which was different from any high-level devil that Raven knew.

The two looked at each other, and at the same time activated the magic spell [Mist Deception] bestowed on them by Laila.

A seemingly light mist wrapped around them, but in fact, this mist combined a series of concealed functions such as fog, light refraction, smell masking, and isolation detection.

Gently opening the trapdoor, the two entered a deeper level.

The two teams looked like imps, but shadowy creatures were busy here, and another cloaked female figure was watching over them. They're working on a batch of boxes. Not far away, two chain demons are guarding.

The pale white glass balls hanging high around the room emanated dim light. After a while of shaking, the chain devil and the little devil fell to the ground at the same time. These devils killed by Raven and Sainz turned into a pool of foam , Sneaky moving ooze, the pulsating evil magic of this soul residue is disgusting.

Suddenly two Assassin Demon Elites rushed out of the room, and Sainz swung his knife on the top, and the three guys fought fiercely. Unknowingly, the battlefield was far away from the room.

A woman stood there, looking up at Raven in amazement, the Black Moon Blade at her throat.

"Hi! Beauty, can you give me that thing you secretly hid in your waist?" (to be continued~^~)
