The moment the gravel rolled down, [Tian Ce]'s brain was already operating like a precision instrument, instantly cutting the entire refuge floor into three pieces.
What he feared most was that the enemy would jump over the wall and take advantage of the chaos to destroy the sacrificial well, the "living information" all over the ground, and the secret old road that had just emerged. If they succeeded, this trip would be in vain.
"Pomelo Watch the back row, trap those alive, don't let them die in the chaos. Old Lei, seal the wellhead and the upper shadow. Maniac, cut off the spiritual synchronization of the acolyte. Hadron is stuck in the middle line, Lao Zhao and I will take down the left side - Chen Feng, wait for him to open the well, and kill him with one blow."
The moment the order was issued in [Mind Network], everyone moved at the same time like a perfectly coordinated killing machine.
Above the shaft, seven or eight ghost-like black shadows slid rapidly down the broken shaft wall. The leader, Darkling, was wearing a black and gray robe sewn with slender, pale bone fragments. When he landed, there was not even a trace of wind. Behind him were two huge Stitching Guards and several elite soldiers. Half of them stared at the sacrificial well, while the other half glanced at the group of Darkling refugees behind the curtain with murderous eyes.
"Seal the well." The attendant's voice didn't have a trace of human warmth. "Take away whatever you can, and destroy whatever you can't take away."
Luoxin's face suddenly turned pale.
However, before he could squeeze out a desperate warning from his withered throat, the broken pillar above the wellhead had already erupted with dazzling blue lightning!
[Thunder King] The Thunder Mark deployed in advance was as if it was instantly ignited by an invisible lead! The manic arcs ran wildly along the broken metal, stone bones and damp well walls, intertwining directly at low altitude into A dense mine net of death was formed. The two soldiers who were just about to use the shadow to cut into the back row to clear out the living people just settled down. With a "pop", the whole person was instantly illuminated by the blue light, and even Shadow was nailed to the wall of the well!
"I want to borrow Shadow for walking, that's fine." [Thunder King] didn't even raise his eyelids, "You asked me about this network first."
The expression of the well sealing priest suddenly changed, and he raised his hand to light up the detonation mark on the well wall.
But [Data Maniac]'s invisible spiritual spikes had already penetrated his mind like a poisonous snake!
This attack was extremely accurate, extremely narrow, and did not hurt anyone. It was specifically designed to cut through the mental control line between the attendant and the two Stitching Guard. The guard's huge body stiffened suddenly, and his movements were chaotic at the same time. The tactical formation originally prepared to attack the sacrificial well fell apart on the spot.
The next second, [Brute Force Yields Miracles] was like a mad rhino, colliding head-on!
"Boom!" Lava Shield closed it arrogantly, directly knocking the frontmost Stitching Guard away, and then his whole body was nailed to the center line like an iron tower. The already narrow terrain was in his hands, and it was like an extra section of Wall of Sighs appeared out of thin air that would never collapse.
[Dragon Fighting in the Wild] cut out from the edge of the shield like a ghost, completely giving up on defense and charging in with a bone claw that tore flesh and blood! A bloody gash was torn open on his waist. Instead of retreating, he used [Boiling Blood]'s madness to increase his speed by a whole level.
"Get out of here!"
With a heavy Brute Force chop, the giant ax directly chopped into the shoulder and neck of another Stitching Guard. He twisted his waist and exerted force, picked up the monster and slammed it against the stone wall on the left!
Bang - the stone wall cracked on the spot with half a cobweb-like crack.
Several joint team Tier Two players in the back row had just raised their weapons, and everyone was dumbfounded. The front line that was supposed to be the most dangerous had been torn to pieces by this seven-man team in the blink of an eye. All that was left for them was to last up the damage and keep an eye on the fish that slipped through the net.
A complete tactical crushing.
But Well-Sealing Squad is obviously also a bunch of complete lunatics.
Seeing that the situation was out of control, a fierce look flashed in the eyes of the black-gray robed priest, and he slammed a pale bone nail into the palm of his hand with his backhand! Dirty black blood flowed along the nail body and dripped crazily into the broken mark on the edge of the well. It was obvious that he had realized that he could not get back this person, so he simply gave up all defenses, forcibly sealed the well, and dragged everyone in the audience to be buried with him!
The dim light at the bottom of the well suddenly surged upward like boiling water, and even the sealing box in Engineer Star Spirit's arms trembled violently.
"He's forcing the well!" Luoxin roared in despair.
"This outer layer of rotten meat belongs to me!" [Hannibal] laughed strangely, and the scarlet humus film instantly spread to the outer edge of the well mouth, strangulating the layer of squirming Flesh Wall that had just been brought to life by the sacrifice like gangrene attached to the bone.
"The rocks that collapsed above belong to me!" [Bi Ren Liang Mou] took action almost at the same time. With a harsh friction sound, he hammered several thick load-bearing long bones into the space between the side beams and the ground. The skeletons clicked together, holding on to the crack at the edge of the refuge floor that had begun to collapse and sink.
The well-sealing priest's eyes were red, and he wanted to pull out the second bone nail.
And in [Mind Network], the cold command of [Tian Ce] just fell:
"Now."
[Vanguard Across the Realm] It has been dormant like a poisonous snake, waiting for this fatal moment.
The lightning net on the upper level cut the shadows around the wellhead into pieces, but he himself was able to use these broken shadow lines to complete the jump! With a flash of blue light, his whole body was like a Ghost, appearing out of thin air behind the well sealing priest.
[Origin Fang] Without making any sound, it cut across the opponent's nail-holding wrist as smoothly as cutting tofu.
Pfft.
The second bone nail and the palm with bulging veins all fell to the ground. The manic dark light at the bottom of the well that had just raised its head was also stuck in the air.
[Thunder King] snorted coldly, raised his hand and fired a precise small Thunderstorm. Instead of blowing up the well, he focused on blasting the bone shard robe on the back of the attendant. The bone shard was conductive, and the Berserk's lightning flashed along the gap, causing the opponent to twitch and stagger back on the spot.
It wasn't until this moment that the players of the United Team in the back row really understood that the most terrifying thing about this seven-man team was not how high the output was. Ordinary players were still thinking about how to fight monsters with bayonets to exchange blood, but this group of people, like a surgical operation, had peeled off all the opponent's trump cards that could make a comeback, layer by layer!
At this time, [Cloud Pomelo] calmly took over the task of protecting the market.
She first threw Life Link steadily to Brute Force and Dragon War who were in the front row, then raised her hand, and the star blue shield expanded layer by layer., like a cage, tightly locking the Darkling refugees in the entire back section of the refuge floor. Two shadow blades that escaped through the chaos hit the shield hard, causing a weak ripple.
"Please be quiet and squat." [Cloud Pomelo] didn't even look back, and spoke as if he was counting valuable goods, "Don't run around and cause trouble. It's not easy to get a bunch of living enemy samples. If you die, you will lose."
The war situation completely collapsed.
Well-Sealing Squad fell into a deadlock. Stitching Guard was stuck in the middle line by Brute Force and Dragon War and used as sandbags to beat; every time the remaining soldiers tried to use the well wall to get around, they would be Thunder King's thunder net was roasted into coke. And the top commander, the well sealing priest, was so mentally strangled by Data Maniac and Vanguard Across the Realm's leaping assassination that he couldn't even lift his head. He couldn't spare a second to complete the sacrificial ceremony of the well.
However, at the moment when he was forced to retreat to the edge of the well and fell into a desperate situation, he still did the craziest thing.
He used his only remaining hand to stab the remaining half of the bone nail, together with half of his arm, directly into the deepest circle of remnants of the well wall!
The person cannot be taken away, and the well cannot be snatched back. Even if he dies, he must completely destroy this secret passage and all the living information below!
Boom--!
The extremely suppressed dark light at the bottom of the well suddenly surged up!
The fragments in the storage box instantly burst out with dazzling light, and [Eternal Night Erosion Mark] quickly swam along the cracks in the stone slab like living creatures. At the same time, from the deepest part of the sacrificial well, an extremely dull and distant echo suddenly came...
The sound was like an empty old road buried deep underground, being forcibly awakened in the darkness.
Everyone in the entire refuge floor was shaken at their feet.
"Kaka... kaka..."
Below the well wall, a black stone wall that was originally tightly connected and looked like a dead thing slowly and heavily staggered in the vibration.
An extremely cold air spurted out, revealing behind the wall a long and narrow passage that snaked deeper into the ground. On both sides of the passage, rusty iron hooks, pale tow rails, and long-blackened traction carvings were looming in the faint dim light. The width was just enough for a standard team to bend Stealth.
Luoxin stared at the underworld passage that suddenly appeared, as if there was a handful of broken glass stuck in his throat.
"[Ash Prayer Corridor]..."
The name sounds mysterious, but after seeing its true appearance at this moment, everyone understood - this is the underground artery that leads directly from the bottom of the well to the enemy's hinterland, specially used to transport bones and resources!
As soon as this road was exposed, the madness on the face of the well sealing priest froze instantly. He obviously never expected that his last desperate struggle would actually open this core passage that must not be exposed to light directly in front of this group of terrifying outsiders!
His eyes widened in horror, he raised his remaining arm, and wanted to completely detonate the entire well wall.
But [Tian Ce] didn't give him this chance at all. The rhythm of the counter-attack had already been accurately delivered to everyone's mind through [Mind Network].
Lightning lights block the road.
Mental strangulation.
Cut throat with a sharp knife.
It flows smoothly without any unnecessary movement.
The black-gray robed priest didn't even have time to scream, before he fell onto his back and fell into the edge of the sacrificial well. The last detonation mark stayed halfway forever.
The remaining soldiers originally wanted to rush towards the entrance of the corridor with all their might, but one of them was knocked over by Dragon Fighting in the Wild with an axe, one was smashed by Brute Force Yields Miracles with his shield, and the last one was directly nailed to the side wall by the pale bone spear thrown by Liang. He twitched twice and then stopped moving.
The turbulent battle finally came to an abrupt end here.
[Hannibal] still maintained the output of the humic membrane, staring coldly at the living body Flesh Wall that had settled down on the layer at the wellhead. "The outer layer of living flesh is temporarily suppressing it, but it won't last long. If you dare to mess around, this damn place will still collapse."
[Bi Ren Liang Mou] raised his head and glanced at the bearing point above his head that had serious cracks, and said in a solemn tone, "You can see that corridor now, but you can't rush into it. If you want to pursue it, you have to wait for the next batch of engineering teams with professional support equipment and road signs to arrive."
Engineer Star Spirit hugged the storage box in his arms tightly, with suppressed excitement in his voice. "The reaction of the fragment just now was much stronger than when we tested it on the surface! It is unmistakable, the old node of Shadow City is indeed still connected to this underground network!"
[Tian Ce] nodded slightly.
His seasoned eyes first glanced at the long and narrow passage that had just been exposed, and then, like looking at the goods on the shelves, he cast his gaze on the group of hundreds of trembling Darkling refugees behind the curtain.
In this wave, they not only won the encounter, but also got an excellent trump card.
A secret old road that leads directly to the core of the enemy; a living well-guarding priest at the grassroots level; a whole floor of "living information library" that has not had time to be destroyed by the opponent; and... first-hand combat data of Darkling's remnant army when dealing with exposed nodes!
Great harvest.
Luoxin leaned against the wall of the well with no strength left, panting heavily for a long time, and then finally recovered a little. He looked at this group of outsiders whose behavior was more ruthless than the regular army, and his voice trembled.
"Which way do you... want to pursue?" he asked.
"I will chase." [Tian Ce]'s answer was not sloppy at all.
He turned around and swept the whole place with a stern gaze. "But the road is right here, it can't grow legs and run away. If we throw away the wellhead, this whole layer of living clues, and the enemy samples for a broken passage with unknown depth now, we would be a complete fool. Wait until we drain the foundation here and revitalize the position before pursuing it!"
At this time.
The deepest part of the sacrificial well.
The [Ash Prayer Corridor], which had just been forcibly revealed, was still quietly extending towards the heart of the enemy in the suffocating darkness.
This huge network deep underground has not been disconnected at all.
