While walking towards the temple, Ah-Dai whispered; "It's all my fault for bringing you so much trouble, even your own people in the Holy See..."
Xuan Yue said sadly: "This How can I blame you? It can only be said that Brother Babuyi is really pitiful. I don't care what others think of me, as long as you treat me well, we will leave the Holy See and go to the Death Mountain. , all these worries can be thrown away." As he said that, they had walked to the center of the main hall of the Temple of Light. Envoys representing all forces have already gathered here. In front of many elders, Ah-Dai was no longer embarrassed to hold Xuan Yue's hand. He took a few steps forward and saluted the Pope under the angel statue in the front: "Ah-Dai has seen the Pope." He turned around and said to the Pope again. The envoys saluted and said: "I have met all the teachers."
The pope smiled slightly and said: "Savior, you don't have to be polite. I heard from Xuanyue Priest that your skills have been restored, right?"
Dumb nodded and said: "Thank you, the Pope, for your concern. My injuries have completely healed and my skills have returned to normal. Everything before was all Dumb's fault. Please forgive me, the Pope."
The Pope said : "Since it's over, don't mention it again." At this time, Xuan Yue had already walked to the Pope, and stood there respectfully like the other three priests in red. The Pope continued: "I asked the Xuanyue Priest to call you here mainly because I want to discuss the dark forces. The Xuanyue Priest should have already told you. Are you willing to explore the whereabouts of the dark forces on behalf of mankind?"
A'Dai nodded firmly and said: "I am willing, Your Majesty the Pope. For the peace of the mainland and for everyone to live a peaceful and comfortable life, I am willing to find the lair of the dark forces."
The Pope smiled and said: "Ah-Dai, you can be said to have been welcomed by everyone! The teachers and commanders here all recommend you as the leader to go to the Death Mountain. We believe that since you are the savior, you will definitely be able to lead mankind out of the predicament and turn the darkness away. Completely clean up the continent and let the light shine on the world forever. The candidates who will go with you this time are the red priest Xuan Yue of the Holy See, the rock of the Puyan tribe, and the elf brother Zhuo of the Yan tribe. Yun, Magician Keanu from the Tianjin Magician Guild, and Magician Oliveira from the Continental Magician Guild. These should be your familiar friends. I hope you can find out the accurate information about the dark forces in the shortest possible time. Give it to us. Once confirmed, the Holy See will unite the four continental countries and mobilize the most elite warriors and magicians in mankind to completely annihilate the source of the dark forces. "
Dumb said: "My lord, I am. I feel that going to the Death Mountain this time is relatively risky, so it would be better if fewer people go there together.”
The Pope was stunned. He smiled and said: "I know you are concerned about the safety of these friends, so don't worry. I have already made complete preparations. The Xuanyue Priest will tell you when the time comes. They must go because they represent All parties on the continent can only believe in the threat posed by the dark forces if they see it with their own eyes.
Duan looked at Xuan Yue, and Xuan Yue nodded at him. Indicates that what the Pope said is true. "Your Holiness, this action is my duty. However, regardless of whether I have truly explored the lair of the dark forces or not, I must return to the Tiangang Sword Sect within three months, because there is an important thing waiting for me to do. I hope You can understand."
The Pope frowned and said: "What can be more important than exploring the whereabouts of the dark forces? But three months is enough. Dumb, you have to know that it is only more than a year before the Holy Calendar Millennium. It's time. In order to eliminate the dark forces as soon as possible, we must save all our time."
A'Dai nodded and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry. I am returning to Tiangang Mountain to strengthen the fight against the dark forces. But I can’t say what I’m going to do now, please forgive me.” Among everyone present, only Xi Wen and Xuan Yue knew that what Ah-Dai was talking about was the competition held every twenty years.
The Pope nodded and said: "Okay. You will set off early tomorrow morning. After midnight here, the few of you who represent all parties to explore the Death Mountains will stay for a while. I have something to tell you."
Ah-Dai He agreed and stepped aside. The Pope said to the crowd: "It is recorded in the Holy See's classics that when a bloody sun appears in the sky, evildoers will appear, blood will rain on the world, and disaster will occur. A few years ago, the bloody sun appeared once. That time, I united all the priests in the Holy See to I have tried my best to push back this catastrophic day, but when the bloody sun appears for the second time, I am afraid it will not be so easy to deal with. We are all humans living in Tianyuan Continent. I can say that. I have already said it. I hope you can put aside all previous suspicions and unite together with the goal of destroying the dark forces."
Xi Wen nodded and said: "The Pope is right, we are not only doing this for ourselves. , and for the sake of future generations, we must unite and fight against foreign enemies. On behalf of the Tiangang Sword Sect, I declare that I will fully support the Holy See and fight against the dark forces. Today, I will return to Tiangang Mountain immediately and wait for news from the Holy See. .”
The Pope bowed slightly to Xi Wen and said: "Thank you very much for the support of the Tiangang Sword Sect. Please send my regards to the Tiangang Sword Master for me."
Feng Wen walked to Xi Wen and said: "On behalf of the Huasheng Empire, I announce , and support the Holy See together with the Tiangang Sword Sect. "…, Except for the Sunset Empire people who were not present, envoys representing all forces in the mainland expressed their support for the Holy See to fight against the dark forces. The meeting ended in pleasant exasperation. In order to gather the elites of all parties as soon as possible, after cherishing each other, all the forces except the Elf Tribe and Xi Wen, the head of the Tiangang Sect, immediately left the Holy Mountain of the Holy See and returned to their respective territories.
Only the Pope, Xi Wen, four red priests, the elf princess Xing'er, the great elf envoy Audi and A'Dai are left in the Temple of Light, who are preparing to go to the Death Mountain to explore the dark forces.
The Pope looked around at everyone and said solemnly: "Everyone, if you can completely eliminate the dark forces and save the continent from the millennium catastrophe, your group going to the Death Mountain will play an extremely important role. Dumb, because a small part of the Death Mountain is in the Tianyuan Clan. territory, so you have to go with the elf princess and her party. With the help of the elves, you should be able to enter the Death Mountains more smoothly. I heard from the great elf envoy Audi that he has entered the death mountains before. Please ask him now. Let me tell you the specific situation, please."
Audi nodded. He took a few steps forward and said: "Back then, in order to prove my bravery, I rashly entered the Death Mountains. Even after decades, I still can't forget everything in the Death Mountains. The horror there is beyond anyone's imagination. . It is not an exaggeration to call it the Death Mountain. Everywhere in the Death Mountain is full of death, and all kinds of undead creatures occupy almost all places. The biggest characteristic of the undead creatures is that they are not afraid of death. Anyone with a slightly higher level has the ability to be resurrected."
Oriviera walked up to Ah-Dai. He frowned and said: "The ability to resurrect? Great Elf Envoy, can you explain it in more detail?"
Audi's eyes showed a hint of fear and he sighed. Said: "The ability to resurrect means that those undead creatures cannot die at all. I still remember that when I entered the outskirts of the Death Mountain, the first thing I encountered was a dozen skeleton warriors. Those skeleton warriors were not very powerful. With my skill at that time, I defeated them easily, and the skeletons were scattered all over the ground. Just when I was complacent about my results, something happened, and the skeletons scattered on the ground were reassembled. In the blink of an eye, the defeated skeletons stood in front of me intact again, and launched more powerful attacks. Among undead creatures, skeletons are only the most common ones, and I have also encountered headless ones. Death knights, zombies with green mucus flowing all over their bodies and smelly smells, and many unnamed creatures are not afraid of being destroyed at all. Unless they can be reduced to ashes, otherwise, even if they are knocked down hard, they will be able to survive in the shortest time. Within a certain period of time, they can stand up again and continue to attack. For undead creatures, human anger is their favorite. As long as they can absorb the soul and flesh of a human being, the undead creatures can become more powerful. As soon as humans are discovered, they will rush forward one after another and attack desperately. If it weren't for my luck, I might have become the food of the undead. I'm not saying I'm discouraged. If it weren't for those undead creatures. If they couldn't leave the Death Mountains for some reason, they might have invaded the mainland already. "
Everyone in Dumb gasped. Although they had thought that the Death Mountains would be very dangerous, they didn't realize until now that it was actually there. So terrifying. How to deal with the immortal undead! Even with Ah-Dai's cultivation level, he couldn't help but beat his heart secretly. For a moment, the Temple of Light fell into silence.
After a while, the rock asked with some difficulty: "Is there no way to restrain the undead creatures? If they are really immortal, then we may not be able to rush into the Death Mountain anyway."
< br>
Dumb's eyes lit up, and before Audi could answer, he rushed to say: "There is a way. I can use my fighting spirit to fly in the air, and I just need to explore the situation inside the Death Mountain from the air."
Audi looked He glanced at Dumb, shook his head, and said: "It's not as simple as you think. At least half of the undead in the Death Mountain have the ability to fly. Although I have never seen what the strongest undead creatures look like, I'm afraid those creatures Even you can't fight against it. According to legend, the strongest undead creature in the Death Mountain is the Bone Dragon, which is nearly a hundred meters long. Imagine that such a powerful creature also has the ability to die. How to deal with it! Even if there is only one, I’m afraid it’s not something you can destroy.”
Ah-Dai sank, yes! Undead creatures may also possess the ability to fly. Don’t the small bones in his dragon’s blood (the name Dui gave the bone dragon) have the ability to fly? Its body length is only more than twenty meters, but it already has such huge abilities. A hundred-meter bone dragon? What concept will it be?
Audi sighed and said: "As far as I know, the only thing that can restrain undead creatures is the holy light magic of the Holy See. But to what extent it can be restrained, I don't know."
A-Dai looked at Xuan Yue and said: "If light magic can restrain undead creatures, we should be fine as long as Yue Yue is here."
The Pope slowly walked up to A-Dai and said: "Don't be too optimistic. The Audi elf just said that in the center of the Death Mountains, there will be undead creatures with huge strength. Although those undead creatures are powerful, they lost part of their souls when they died and were eroded by evil, so It is very likely that they have been controlled by the dark forces. You must know that powerful undead creatures are immune to sacred light magic. If necessary, only you can cause a fatal blow to them by activating the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder. Strength You all know that a large part of the reason why I am so worried about the dark forces is because of the undead creatures in the Death Mountain. Now, I will tell you the origin of the Death Mountain. This is the highest secret of the Holy See. Don't spread it." After receiving affirmative answers from Dumb and others, the Pope pondered for a moment. Then he said: "Perhaps you have guessed that the formation of the Death Mountains is related to the disaster suffered by mankind thousands of years ago. This guess is correct. Thousands of years ago, His Majesty Shen Yu, the great savior and the first pope of the Holy See, and his wife He led many powerful people on the continent to constantly fight against the Dark Demon Clan. After more than ten years of concerted efforts, most of the Dark Demon Clan were finally wiped out. At that time, His Majesty Shen Yu discovered that, The dark demons themselves are not a race on the mainland. They come from the evil demon world. His Majesty also deduced that the world is divided into three parts, one is the place where the gods we respect live, and the other is the world where we live. The Tianyuan Continent where we live can also be said to be the human world, and the last one is the demon world where infinite evil condenses. Among the three realms, we humans are the most vulnerable, but for some reasons, neither the gods nor the demon world can easily reach humans. Although we humans are weak, we have powerful souls that are not weaker than the gods and demons. In order to win more human souls, the gods and demons both regard the human world as their goal. The gods use their kindness to help us humans develop, while the demon world is always thinking about coming to the human world, completely occupying our Tianyuan Continent, and making human beings forever surrender to their demonic power. If it were not for the gods and demons, The two realms are not connected, and they may have been fighting for a long time. Because of these reasons, the human realm has become a battlefield between the gods and demons. Thousands of years ago, the demon realm finally successfully opened the entrance to our human realm. , but the entrance is too small, and only the weaker races can pass through. This is how the dark demons came to the human world. In just a few years, these powerful creatures from the demon world have been reduced with their cruelty and evil. Nearly half of our human population. It was at that time that His Majesty Shen Yu was appointed by the gods to come to the continent to lead us humans to resist. In the end, the evil was never able to overcome the controversy, and the Dark Demon King was forced back by the strong men of us humans until now. Mountain of Death. His Majesty Shen Yu relied on the ability given by the gods to completely defeat the invasion of the Dark Demon Clan. In fact, at that time, he wanted to completely eliminate the Dark Demon Clan, but he found the entrance to the Demon World. In order to seal this entrance, His Majesty Shen Yu had to give up killing the Dark Demon Tribe. After reaching an agreement with the Dark Demon God, he completely sealed him at the entrance, using his evil body and the power from the God to completely seal the entrance. Sealed. One of the contents of the agreement is that humans will no longer hunt down the remnants of the Dark Demon Clan and let them live in a corner of the continent. Although the entrance to the Demon World was successfully sealed, His Majesty Shen Yu discovered that in this situation. The corpses of the soldiers and various powerful creatures who died in the battle turned into undead creatures under the aura of death emanating from the entrance to the demon world. The power of those undead creatures even exceeded the threat of the dark demons. The already fragile human beings suffered another blow. His Majesty Shen Yu resolutely decided to use the next fifty years of his life as a guide to attract the powerful power of the gods and completely seal the entire mountain of death under the influence of the powerful divine power of the gods. Under this, undead creatures will never be able to take a step out of the Death Mountain. Later, His Majesty Shenyu's untimely death was officially caused by spending too much life force. Although the undead creatures cannot leave the Death Mountains, it has also become their territory. His Majesty Shenyu issued a decree that no matter who they are, they are absolutely not allowed to step into the Death Mountains without the permission of the Holy See. The reason why he issued such a decree was because he was afraid that more people would die there and become one of the dead creatures. In the few years after saving the mainland from the catastrophe, His Majesty Shen Yu would rely on his superb cultivation to go to the center of the Death Mountain to inquire whether the seal on the entrance to the demon world was strong. When he went back in the fifth year, he discovered that he could not break through the barrier of the undead creatures with his own strength. This shows how powerful these undead are. This is where Death Mountain comes from. ”.
The Pope's words not only shocked Ah-Dai and others, but also Xuan Ye, Mang Xiu, Yu Jian and Xuan Yue were startled and surprised by the secret of the Holy See. They never expected that the origin of the Death Mountains would have so many twists and turns. Xuan Yue said: "My Lord Pope. According to what you said, don't we have no hope of entering the Death Mountain? How can we find out whether the dark forces are there? Could the so-called thousand-year catastrophe be these undead creatures? Once the barrier set by His Majesty Shenyu is broken and these undead creatures leave the Death Mountain and wreak havoc everywhere, it is very likely that the entire continent will become a world of the undead." br>
The Pope shook his head and said: "This possibility is unlikely. If the continent is occupied by undead creatures, it will not be of any benefit to the demon world. Moreover, the intelligence of those undead creatures is very low. They have adapted to it for thousands of years. Life in the Death Mountain may not be possible. The barrier set up by His Majesty Shenyu is specifically for undead creatures, and it is not easy to break through. What I am worried about now is that once the Dark Saint Church lifts the seal on the entrance to the demon world. The seal is broken and the entrance is likely to be expanded. At that time, the demonic army will attack the mainland. Not to mention that we have no way to resist, even the gods, I am afraid, I have never understood how the thousand-year catastrophe will happen. It wasn't until I heard Luo Shui's words that day that I suddenly realized what kind of situation it was coming to the mainland. So what we have to do now is to buy time. According to previous judgments, it is possible to seal the entrance to the devil world. It will be lifted when the Blood Sun comes. We must completely eliminate the Dark Holy Cult in the Death Mountain before then, and not give them the chance to open the entrance to the demon world."
A'Dai said doubtfully: "My Lord Pope, I have a question. Even if we find the headquarters of the dark forces in the Death Mountains, what is the use? There are so many undead armies outside the Death Mountains. You also said that they are not what we humans are. Those who can fight! Once our human warriors are killed by these undead and their souls are absorbed, the situation of mankind will be even more dangerous." Dui's question also expressed the thoughts of Shi Yan and others, and everyone watched together. The Pope, awaiting his answer.
The Pope smiled slightly and said: "Since I let you go, I have my reasons. Yes, the undead creatures are indeed powerful, but they are not invincible. Under the influence of sacred light magic, most undead creatures cannot resist. As long as we can confirm that our guess is correct, I will lead all the priests of the Holy See to the Death Mountain to completely eliminate the middle and low-level undead creatures there. Of course, this will inevitably arouse the anger of those high-level undead creatures, and the armies of various countries will be used to do so. Let's jointly deal with those high-level undead creatures. As long as we can entangle them and rush in to eliminate the dark forces, we can save the continent from disaster. This time you go to the Death Mountains, not only to find the dark forces, but also to investigate as much as possible. The number of high-level undead creatures can also help us prepare. Come around, I will show you something."
Everyone gathered around the Pope. The Pope made a stroke in the air and opened his golden door. In the space barrier, a gorgeous colorful bead flew in front of everyone under the influence of his thoughts. The pope pointed his finger, and a golden light shot out. Under the stimulation of the sacred energy, the colorful beads of light emitted a soft light. The large rays of light gradually condensed, showing a somewhat blurry figure.
The Pope solemnly said: "Let me tell you, this map was left by His Majesty Shen Yu back then. It is the only map on the mainland that records the accurate topography of the Death Mountains."
In surprise, everyone looked at the map carefully and saw that it was a series of rolling mountains. One small mountain after another was closely connected, and the terrain was extremely complex.
The Pope said: "I will give this map to Xuanyue Priest to carry. In the Death Mountains, it is shrouded in clouds and fog all year round and there is no vegetation, so it is difficult to identify the direction. This map is for you Very important. The Death Mountains cover an extremely large area, almost as big as three Tiangang Mountains. Look, this is your destination." The Pope pointed to the center of the map, a basin surrounded by mountains. "This is the place where His Majesty Shen Yu fought against the Dark Demon God and sealed him at the entrance of the Demon Clan. If the dark forces are in the Death Mountains, this place will inevitably become their habitat. You must be careful, the evil atmosphere there is very strong. Nong, don't let your mind be affected. Xuan Yue, as soon as you enter the Death Mountain, you must always cast God's blessing on everyone and use sacred light magic to drive away the evil atmosphere. Maybe the landscape will change after a thousand years. But there have been no earthquakes near the Death Mountain, so I don’t think the change will be big. As long as you can follow the map, you should have a good chance of finding the destination. As for how to deal with the undead and how to enter the interior of death, it depends. You have the ability. However, you must remember to withdraw from the Death Mountain immediately. We will limit it to three months. If you still cannot reach the central area of the Death Mountain. , you will return to the Holy See immediately, even if it is a risk, I will mobilize all the forces in the mainland to attack the Crippled Mountains."
Looking at the Pope's determined look, Ah-Dai's heart trembled, he knew what was being done to him. What a great responsibility. This is related to the safety of the entire continent! He secretly made up his mind to find a way to enter the Death Mountain to get accurate information no matter what.
Xi Wen said: "You have heard what the Pope said. You have a long way to go on this trip. You must be careful. Dumb, do you still remember the last scene at the killer headquarters? The president of the killer union calls himself the third member of the Dark Holy Religion. Fifth Elder. But the shape he transformed into is different from any other creature on our continent. If my guess is correct, he is probably the demon creature that sneaked over when the entrance to the demon world opened. The fifth elders are all demons, and the top leaders of the Dark Saint Religion are likely to be demons. Therefore, you will not only have to face the undead creatures on this trip, but you must also be vigilant at all times, and do not be caught by the time difference saints composed of dark forces. "
Ah-Dai recalled the appearance of the leader of the Killer Guild that day. It was indeed an evil race that he had never seen before! It actually has the ability to regenerate. .
The Pope said: "I have discussed it with Head Xi Wen. You must remember that your trip is not to kill the enemy, but to conduct reconnaissance. Try not to get too entangled with powerful enemies. Once After completing the reconnaissance mission, leave." After looking around at everyone, he took back the map, handed the colorful light beads to Xuan Yue, and said sternly: "Children, the safety of the mainland depends on you. Qi protection, evil Qi cannot easily invade, and the rest of you are relatively fragile. I have personally made a few amulets for you to wear with you. They can help you resist some evil intrusions at critical moments." As he said this, he started from himself. He took out several golden rings from the barrier and handed them to everyone. The ring contains brilliance, and with everyone’s cultivation, they can clearly feel the huge sacred energy contained in it.
"Okay, you all go to rest. Tomorrow morning, set off immediately to the Death Mountain. If you need anything else, just ask, the Holy See will do its best to satisfy you."
A'Dai stepped forward with some embarrassment. He took a step forward and came to the Pope. He bowed respectfully to the Pope and then said, "Your Holiness, I have one more thing to beg you for."
The Pope smiled and said, "If you have any questions, just ask Say, you’re welcome.”
Duan looked at Xi Wen beside him and murmured: "I, I want to beg you to marry Yueyue to me. Of course, not now, but, I, I want to get married to Yueyue first, and I don't want to cause any further complications. "I'm offside and I'm afraid of losing her again." This was what Ah-Dai had thought about a long time ago. The reason why Xi Wen didn't leave with everyone just now was because he received a message from Ah-Dai and stayed to make the decision for him.
Xuan Yue did not expect that Ah-Dai would propose marriage at this time, and was immediately ashamed. She lowered her head and fondled the corners of the sacrificial robe with both hands, without saying a word.
Xi Wen walked to Ah-Dai and smiled: "Sir Pope, these two children have gone through too many hardships, please help them. Ah-Dai is a member of our Tiangang Sword Sect, as his Elder, I can make the decision for him. I guarantee you that Miss Xuan Yue will not be wronged if she marries him.”
At this time, the Pope no longer had the previous majesty, with a kind smile on his face, and said: "I can't make the decision on this matter. Our Holy See has regulations. Even the Pope is not allowed to interfere in the marriages of clergy. Yue, are you right?”
Xuan Yue knew that the Pope was repaying her for the backlash when she insisted on marrying Ba Buyi, so her pretty face turned redder, lowered her head and said: “Grandpa, You, just make the decision for me."
The pope laughed and said, "Are you willing to let grandpa make the decision now? Ye'er, what do you think?" He turned to his son and asked him. opinions. Duan's eyes followed the Pope and turned to Xuan Ye, and he couldn't help but feel nervous. He knew that Xuan Ye had always had a bad opinion of him, and he was deeply afraid that he would stop him, and his eyes could not help but show pleading. .
