Chapter 1083 - 1083 The Pursuit
1083 The Pursuit
“Brothers, it’s that one.”
Mo Jiawei furrowed his brows and gestured to the back of the hall.
As they looked in the direction that Mo Jiawei was pointing at, many of them noticed that there was a huge greenish-gray human-shaped stone statue standing close to the wall behind the circular hall.
It was over five meters tall and was carved out of hard gray stone.
!!
The stone statue’s overall carving was relatively rough, and only its outline could be seen, let alone its facial expression. It was in a posture of lowering its head, giving off the feeling that it was looking down on everyone from high above, making people feel a strong sense of oppression from the bottom of their hearts.
Whoosh!
Two rays of azure blue light suddenly appeared in the pupils of the stone statue’s face. It looked extremely strange in the dark catacombs.
“Ka, ka ka ka ka…”
With the sound of a mechanism being activated, the stone statue started to shake slightly in front of everyone.
The ground under everyone’s feet also shook slightly.
The layer of sand and rock that had been attached to the stone statue fell off in large chunks, revealing the dark metallic l.u.s.ter beneath.
Sensing that the situation was not good, everyone on the team immediately backed away for a distance.
“Not good!” Mo Jiawei’s heart skipped a beat and he shouted, “It’s going to move!”
The stone statue’s movements were a little stiff and it stepped forward with one foot.
“Retreat!”
“Chi Chi! Chi Chi Chi!”
The elites from the Empire immediately retaliated, and a dense rain of arrows fell on the giant stone statue.
“Ding Ding Ding…”
The arrows that landed on the stone statue bounced off one after another, even letting out the sound of metal colliding.
The arrows specially made by the Empire could easily penetrate the skin of the horned dragon beast, but they could not break the defense of the stone statue!
“Thump!!!”
The giant stone statue stomped heavily on the floor, causing the entire circular hall to shake and leaving a ma.s.sive footprint on the ground.
“Use fire spells!”
“Boom! Boom Boom!!!”
Several fireb.a.l.l.s smashed into the stone statue, and after a few sparks, they completely dissipated.
Magic was not effective against it.
How should they fight this battle?
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and a cold sweat broke out on their foreheads.
Mo Jiawei covered his left eye with one hand and said in a deep voice, “The legendary creature, Udaram, is a powerful life form created by the cave-dwelling beasts through the fusion of alchemy and soul sacrifice. It is powered by the core of its body. It has been a guardian of the cave-dwelling beasts for generations and has the special ability to devour.”
Upon hearing the words “legendary creature”, everyone’s expression changed.
These creatures were either extremely powerful or had some very special abilities.
Evidently, the alchemy giant in front of them was a combat type and would be very difficult to deal with.
“What’s its weakness?”
As he spoke, Mikhael had already rushed toward the giant and shouted, “Weakness!”
“No, there’s no weakness in the description…”
“BOOM!!!”
The long sword in Mikhael’s hand struck out, and a dark blade light streaked across the air.
A slight distortion appeared in the s.p.a.ce.
“Bang!!!”
There was a metallic explosion, and Mikhael was sent flying backward.
The alchemy giant only paused for a moment, and a layer of stones fell from the place where it was. .h.i.t by Mikhael. Then, it continued to chase after the crowd.
It was like seeing a ghost.
Mikhael stepped back and looked at the detailed game log. His face was gloomy.
He had been training in the intermediate game world and had been practicing his swordsmanship. He believed that he was not inferior to anyone in a head-on battle. He did not expect that this mediated move only took out 400 HP from the other party.
It was far from what he had expected!
“Its movement speed isn’t fast, and its attack power is limited. Think of a way to retreat and slowly grind it down.”
Wei Tao knew how terrifying Mikhael’s swordsmanship was. Seeing that Mikhael was also helpless, he immediately gave up on the frontal attack and signaled the team to start retreating.
The people on the team were all elites. After receiving the order, they immediately lined up and retreated through the tunnel behind them while attacking the alchemy giant.
In fact, due to its huge size, even though the alchemy giant Udaram’s movements were stiff, it was able to cover three to four meters with every step it took.
The team had no choice but to run forward, occasionally turning back to launch a symbolic attack.
This could not go on!
Everyone ran along the tunnel with all their might and in fact, they had to keep on accelerating!
Fang Heng frowned.
Not to mention the Empire’s elite teams, the team’s physical fitness was limited, and they could not maintain high-speed running for long periods of time.
He wasn’t afraid. He could probably escape even if he transformed into a bat and flew into the sky. But what about the others?
He had to think of a way.
“Whoosh…”
Eh?
Everyone was stunned.
It stopped?
Udaram, who was halfway behind them, raised its fist and punched the ground.
“BOOM!!!”
Everyone’s feet trembled violently!
“Be careful!”
“Chi! Chi Chi Chi!”
Suddenly, dozens of sharp spikes shot out from the stone floor under everyone’s feet, and the team fell into chaos.
The ground in front of them quickly bulged, and a large rock blocked their way.
“Thump! Thump Thump!!”
The alchemy body continued to catch up from behind.
“F*ck!”
Mikhael’s pupils shrank. He leaned forward and rushed forward, drawing his sword and slashing forward.
Whoosh!
A slight spatial distortion appeared in the area where the sword blade had pa.s.sed through.
“BOOM!!!”
Crushed stones flew in all directions.
The rock wall was blasted open by the sword!
“Let’s go!”
Seeing that Mikhael’s attack had succeeded, the players’ morale was greatly boosted, and they immediately continued to run forward along the broken rock wall.
After running for more than five minutes, everyone’s physical fitness began to decline.
Mo Jiawei also felt tired. He furrowed his brows and said, “Brothers, we’ll be caught if this continues. Quickly think of a way.”
“Yes, there’s something wrong with this pa.s.sage as well.”
They had been running for more than five minutes. According to the players’ abilities, they had moved forward for at least two kilometers. However, the straight pa.s.sage in front of them seemed to be endless, which made Fang Heng feel uneasy.
Why would the cave-dwelling beasts set up a pa.s.sage here?
Wouldn’t it be better to trap them on the spot and fight with the alchemy body?
Fang Heng had a strange feeling that the cave-dwelling beasts were trying to drive them away somewhere.
Fortunately, the pa.s.sage was long enough, or the players would not know what to do.
Every time Udaram stopped casting a skill, the players would be in a state of shock.
As their physical strength decreased, the team’s escape speed began to slow down.
While he was thinking, a few players were injured by magic attacks and chose to quit the game.
The team started to lose members.
“Don’t worry, let’s think of a way to escape, there surely must be something.”
There must be a way, there must be!
Wei Tao concentrated on thinking of a way out.
The trial game was just a test. As long as the player’s ability reached a certain limit, they would definitely not face a certain death situation.
Suddenly, Wei Tao saw Fang Heng nodding to him.
“Wei Tao, I have an idea.”
