Deep in the metal pillar forest, the three of them temporarily settled in one of the thickest giant pillars, the interior of which had been eroded by some force. Cesar set up several layers of simple shadow concealment barriers. Although they could not completely isolate them from detection, combined with the chaotic energy environment here, they were enough to provide a temporary respite.
In the silence, there were only suppressed gasps and weak fluctuations of divine healing power.
Dylan's wound has stopped bleeding, but the remaining alien energy is extremely stubborn, like tarsal maggots, constantly eating away at his Destruction Divine Power, making his face continue to pale. Cesar looks like a skin injury, but in fact it has been scratched by several magics, and the energy flow in his body has also been somewhat stagnant. Lin Qin is in relatively good condition, but it consumes a huge amount of divine power, especially the last two punches that forcibly resisted the combined attack of the twelve puppets, which almost drained most of his divine power.
Time passed by in silent breath adjustment. I don't know how long it took, but Lin Qin was the first to open his eyes. The fatigue in his eyes was slightly gone, and he returned to his usual calmness. He looked at Dylan: "How is your injury?"
Dylan closed his eyes, frowned, and said with a hint of suppressed pain in his voice, "Trouble. That energy is mixed with multiple attributes and is extremely difficult to deal with. My divine power expels it very slowly."
Lin Qin stood up, walked in front of Dylan, stretched out his palm, and an earth-yellow light of divine power emerged from the palm. However, this light was not used for attacking, but with a strange, peaceful and heavy rhythm, it slowly approached the wound on Dylan's arm.
"Maybe my power can help you neutralize some of it." Lin Qin said. His fused power combines the tolerance and stability of the earth, and has a unique effect on dispersing and calming alien energy.
Dylan hesitated slightly, but nodded.
The earth-yellow light shrouded the wound, and the stubborn alien energy was indeed affected by this peaceful and righteous force. The erosion rate was significantly slowed down, and it even began to be slowly "smoothed" and assimilated. Although it could not be eradicated immediately, it greatly reduced the burden on Dylan, allowing him to concentrate his divine power to eliminate it.
Cesar also came over and marveled. "Brother Lin Qin, your power is really a panacea."
Lin Qin did not respond and focused on healing Dylan. He only stopped after Dylan's complexion improved and his divine power was able to suppress the remaining alien energy.
"Thank you." Dylan opened his eyes, his tone was stiff, but the meaning was clear.
Lin Qin nodded slightly and sat down again. Cesar also stopped laughing, and the three of them sat around and began to discuss countermeasures.
"Twelve Lowgod pinnacles, with perfect cooperation, as well as platform barrier blessings, complete remote and melee control." Cesar clapped his fingers and frowned, "For a frontal attack, unless we are all mid-level gods, there is no chance."
Dylan said in a deep voice, "We must break their coordination or weaken their numbers. They seem to be unable to leave the platform range. This is our opportunity."
Lin Qin moved his fingers unconsciously on the cold ground, deducing quickly in his mind. "The pattern of the platform is the key. Those golden light patterns provide energy and barrier. The twelve pillars and the crystals on the top are like nodes. If a few nodes can be destroyed, it may weaken the barrier and even affect the energy supply of the puppet."
"How to get close?" Cesar spread his hands, "As soon as you get close, you will be set on fire."
"You need bait, you need timing." Lin Qin glanced at the two of them, "My defense is the strongest, and I can try to attract most of the firepower head-on and create chaos. Dylan, your speed is about the same as me, your attack power is strong, and you are responsible for taking the opportunity to destroy the nodes. Cesar, you have the weirdest movement skills. You are responsible for containing and interfering with remote and control puppets, and covering for Dylan."
The plan is simple and direct. The core is to use the strong defense and power of Lin Qin to create a breakthrough, Dylan to perform key damage, and Cesar to check for leaks and fill in the gaps.
Dylan and Cesar thought for a moment and nodded. This is the most feasible method at present.
"But the node material must be strong and may be protected." Dylan raised doubts.
Lin Qin thought, and the slightly worn Earth Divine Sword appeared in his hand. "Use this and concentrate. Your Destruction Divine Power is also very destructive. In addition, we need to observe first to find out the rhythm of their attacks and the defense strength of those node crystals."
The plan was initially drawn up, and what followed was a long period of observation and waiting. The three of them took turns to sneak back to the platform, hiding their auras, and observed from a distance the twelve Metal Puppets that were stationary on the platform like sculptures, as well as the energy flow patterns of the platform's lines.
They discovered that when no outsiders are approaching, the Twelve Puppetes will enter a low-energy "standby" state, but the energy connection between them is not interrupted and can explode at any time. The energy flow of the platform pattern has subtle periodic fluctuations. Every about a quarter of an hour, there will be a weak "tide" phenomenon, and the light of the node crystal will change accordingly. Perhaps it is a gap in energy conversion.
The two pillars and the transparent crystal at the top appear to be exposed, but are actually protected by an invisible energy field of unknown strength.
After observing for several cycles, the three returned to the hiding place to perfect the plan.
"Start when the energy tide is at its lowest." Lin Qin made the decision, "At that time, the node defense may be the weakest, and the platform's energy supply has also dropped slightly. I will go up first and directly attack the platform to attract the attention of all the puppets. Dylan, you see the opportunity for me to create chaos, and destroy at least three Node Pillar as quickly as possible, preferably to destroy the crystal."
Cesar, you must entangle those two archers and at least one legal puppet to reduce the threat to Dylan."
"Understood." Dylan's eyes were sharp.
"Leave it to me." Cesar licked his lips, eyes flashing with excitement.
After resting for a few days, after the condition returned to 80% or 90%, the three of them quietly came to the edge of the metal pillar forest again, hid in the dark, and waited quietly.
Time passed little by little. On the platform, the light golden lines alternated between light and dark like breathing.
That's it now!
Lin Qin's eyes flashed, he no longer hid, he rushed out of his hiding place like a cannonball, and rushed straight to the suspended platform! He no longer held back, Fused Divine Power fully exploded in his body, and the earthy yellow light enveloped his whole body, like a meteorite, with an indomitable momentum!
Buzz--!
The texture of the platform suddenly brightened up, and the eyes of the twelve stationary Metal Puppet simultaneously lit up with scarlet light!
"Enemy attack! Annihilation!"
Silent fluctuations of thoughts swept out. The twelve puppets were activated instantly, with clear division of labor. Like sophisticated killing machines, the torrent of attacks poured into Lin Qin again!
"Come!" Lin Qin roared, without dodging or dodging, he waved his fists, and the fusion power containing high-frequency vibration and extreme penetration exploded, turning into a twisted force field to protect him. At the same time, Earth Divine Power was faintly connected to the void under his feet, trying his best to stabilize his body.
"Boom-!!"
Attacks that were denser and more violent than the last time overwhelmed him. The slashing of giant swords and battle axes, the thrusts of spears and sickles, the bursts of energy arrows, and the bombardment of various magics - it was as if a Destruction sun had risen from the edge of the platform.
Lin Qin was like a rock in the raging waves. His body was constantly trembling under the violent attacks. The earthy yellow light on his body flashed violently, flickering on and off. However, he stayed firmly on the spot and waved his fists, defeating or deflecting the fatal attacks., or resist forcefully! Blood began to bleed from the corners of his mouth, and fine cracks began to appear in his strong body, but his eyes were fierce and he did not retreat even half a step. He even took the initiative to attack, knocking the two Heavy Puppet that were closest to him and staggering back to create space behind him!
Now! The low of the energy tide!
Dylan's figure flashed from the other side like a ghost! He increased his speed to the extreme, almost turning into a blurred gray line, aiming directly at the three node metal pillars on the edge of the platform! On his claws, Destruction's characteristic gray airflow condensed into an unparalleled sharp blade, with the will to tear everything apart!
"Stop him!" The puppet's command thoughts fluctuated.
The two bow and arrow puppets immediately turned their arrows, and the two legal puppets also waved their staffs, and the binding vines and Gravity Field enveloped Dylan.
"Your opponent is me!" Cesar screamed, and the figure suddenly divided into dozens, it was difficult to tell whether they were real or fake, like black bats flying in the sky, instantly filling the area! Not only did he interfere with the locking of long-range attacks, but a phantom rushed towards the legal puppets fearlessly, attracting some of their attention.
"Tsk!"
Dylan's claw of Destruction grabbed hard on the force field shield of a node metal pillar! The shield fluctuated violently, making a harsh friction sound, and actually blocked this long-awaited blow! But the light of the shield obviously dimmed for a moment.
"Broken!" Dylan's eyes were filled with fierceness. Ignoring the energy arrows coming from the other side, his other claw carried all his strength and clawed at the same point again!
"Crack!"
The force field shield was finally broken! Dylan's claws clawed hard at the metal column body, and Destruction air flow rushed in crazily!
"Boom!" The metal pillar trembled violently, the transparent crystal on the top cracked with a "pop" sound, and the light suddenly dimmed!
Got one! Dylan didn't stop and jumped on the second one!
Due to Dylan's surprise attack and Lin Qin's crazy containment, the torrent of attacks on the platform suddenly became chaotic.
However, the puppets responded very quickly and immediately separated three melee puppets to turn around and intercept Dylan. At the same time, the long-range attacks enveloped the area where Cesar's real body was more densely, forcing him to be in danger.
Lin Qin The pressure was slightly reduced, but he was still in the center of the siege. He was covered in blood, but his eyes were still calm. He saw the opportunity and punched the ground. A strong shock wave spread along the lines of the platform. Although it failed to destroy the lines, it caused the entire platform and the puppets on it to stagnate slightly!
Just this slight stagnation!
Dylan endured a tomahawk chop, and both claws came out, ruthlessly tearing apart the force field of the second Node Pillar, grabbing the cylinder until it was twisted and deformed, and the crystal shattered!
Two nodes were destroyed! The golden pattern on the platform dimmed significantly, and the flow became stagnant! The movements of the twelve puppets also appeared a little uncoordinated, and the energy connection seemed to be a little weaker!
"Roar!" The puppets seemed to be enraged and attacked even more crazily.
Lin Qin was spitting blood and suffered injuries in many places on his body, but he gritted his teeth and held on, fighting for the last time for Dylan.
Dylan, covered in blood and looking like a madman, pounced on the third Node Pillar. This time, there were more puppets blocking him and the attack was more fierce.
"Dylan! Lower your head!" Cesar shouted loudly.
I saw that Cesar actually gave up all phantoms and dodges, and in an almost suicidal manner, he forced himself to rush to the most threatening magic puppet. The black dagger, with a strange wave specially designed to destroy the energy structure, pierced the core of its staff!
"Boom!" The staff exploded, and the puppet's movements froze. At the same time, several energy arrows and magic blasted hard on Cesar, blowing him to pieces and causing him to fly backwards. He was not sure whether he was alive or dead!
But this time, an excellent opportunity was created for Dylan!
"Death!" Dylan roared, ignoring the attack coming from behind, pouring all the Destruction Divine Power, and even a trace of the original power of the innate magical power, into both claws, and the wolf slammed the third Node Pillar!
"Bang!!!"
Node Pillar and the crystals on it were completely blown to pieces!
Three nodes were destroyed! The platform barrier shook violently, and the golden lines dimmed over a large area! The remaining nine Node Pillar lights also became unstable. The movements of the twelve puppets were obviously stiff and laggy, the energy connection between them was almost interrupted, and the attack power was greatly reduced!
"Now! Lin Qin!" Dylan roared, and he himself was at the end of his strength.
Lin Qin's eyes burst with cold light! He knew that this was the only chance!
He no longer defended, and concentrated all the remaining divine power in his body, together with the last strength squeezed out of his powerful body, into his right fist! This time, the edge of the fist was no longer an earthy yellow light, but showed a dark and chaotic color, as if the weight of the entire earth and Destruction were condensed!
He took one step forward, and the platform beneath his feet cracked! He slammed his fist down on the group of puppets whose nodes were destroyed and their formation was in chaos!
"Earth Return to Ruins!"
After punching out, the space seemed to freeze. There was no huge momentum, only a dark force field that continued to spread and swallow everything, descending with Lin Qin's fist as the center!
Within the force field, gravity is chaotic, space is distorted, and all energy structures are disintegrated and collapsed from the smallest detail by the ultimate vibration and penetrating power contained in it!
The three Heavy Puppet that bore the brunt were unable to even scream, and were annihilated like sand sculptures in the force field! The surrounding puppets were also affected by the edge of the force field, their movements were completely stiff, countless cracks appeared on the body surface, and the energy light quickly dimmed!
This punch almost drained everything from Lin Qin. He was half-kneeling on the ground, panting violently, and blood was oozing from all his orifices.
Dylan held on, seizing the opportunity when the group of puppets were completely in chaos and their defenses were greatly reduced. He jumped into the remaining puppets like a wounded beast, tearing wildly with his claws, tearing each puppet with stiff movements into pieces!
When the last puppet's head was torn apart by Dylan and turned into a pile of scrap metal, deathly silence finally returned to the platform.
Only the damaged lines, the broken Node Pillar, the metal debris on the ground, and the Godhead and artifact in the center that still exuded alluring fluctuations, told of the brutality of the battle just now.
Cesar fell not far away, with a terrifying big hole in his chest. His breath was extremely weak, but he still seemed to be breathing heavily. Dylan staggered to his side, checked it out, and said with an ugly face, "Severely injured, his soul was also injured, but----still alive." He fed Cesar a treasured life-saving elixir, temporarily stabilizing his injury.
Lin Qin stood up with difficulty, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and looked at the treasure in the center of the platform. After paying such a heavy price, finally----
However, just at the moment when the three of them relaxed a little!
Mutation, again!
In the center of the platform, a deep hole opened in the ground beneath the three Godhead bases without any warning.
A cold, evil, terrifying pressure with a thick smell of death rose from the entrance of the cave into the sky like a volcano erupting!
"Hiss--!"
A scream that froze the soul sounded.
A sharp arthropod covered with a thick black carapace and edged with barbs slowly poked out of the hole and grabbed the edge. Then came the second and the third - a total of eight black arthropods like giant scythes, supporting a huge oval body covered with strange dark purple patterns, crawled out of the hole!
That was a spider! A black spider-like mythical beast that was as big as a small house! In front of its head, there were eight compound eyes shining with dark red light. Each compound eye seemed to reflect a painful and struggling soul. Between the opening and closing of its mouthparts, there were shining fangs exposed, dripping with extremely corrosive dark green poisonous saliva.
The energy fluctuations emitted by it have surpassed the scope of ordinary Lowgod!
Its eight dark red compound eyes coldly and mercilessly scanned the three seriously injured people on the platform.
Lin Qin, Dylan's hearts instantly sank to the bottom.
After a lot of hard work and almost risking his life, he managed to eliminate the twelve Lowgod pinnacle puppets. But now, an even more terrifying mythical beast spider has appeared!
There is treasure in the front, but there is a desperate situation in the back?
