2639 The monster army of the fourth battle area (1)
The entrance of the nine Mu valley was heavily guarded.
On both sides of the long steps, there were rows of cultivators responsible for guarding. Behind the dense statues, there were also cultivators from Lou Cheng hiding.
They were one with the statue, hiding very cleverly. If they didn’t move, it would be very difficult to be discovered.
Tang Zhen did a rough count. There were close to ten thousand statues at the entrance of the nine tombs Valley. Even if one percent of them were statues, there would still be hundreds of cultivators in the city.
The actual hidden sentries should be far more than this.
Such a tight defense was naturally to prevent the enemy from finding out and to avoid exposing his own trump card.
Tang Zhen was secretly shocked by everything that was displayed in the fourth battle area.
Just by looking at the enemy’s current lineup, it was clear that it would not be easy to win this battle. How were the preparations of the fifth battle area?
There was someone in charge of the battle strategy, and he didn’t need to partic.i.p.ate in it. He just had to do his job well.
After editing and uploading the information, Tang Zhen continued to act.
Tang Zhen used a secret technique to hide his tracks and avoided the hidden sentries. The entire process took a lot of time.
It wasn’t that Tang Zhen didn’t want to increase his speed, but that the warning arrays in this area were too dense. Furthermore, the mental energy of King level cultivators would sweep over from time to time.
From this, it could be confirmed that there were King level cultivators in the 4th battle area!
As for why it wasn’t shown on the ranking list, it was obvious that they had used some special means and were using it as a trump card.
He wondered if the fifth battle area had a similar trump card in their hands, but they just didn’t take it out.
Before he knew it, he had reached the end of the stairs.
When they arrived at the sky Gate at the top of nine tombs Valley, the view before them suddenly opened up, as if they had entered a whole new world.
From the position of the Heaven’s Gate, one could see that the huge mountain peak had been dug out from the middle, and there was a platform higher than the previous one.
Each platform was extremely large, with all kinds of buildings and sculptures on it. There were a total of nine platforms.
These nine platforms were actually nine ancient imperial tombs that extended from the bottom to the top.
These ancient emperors from thousands of years ago had thought of their tombs as heaven, but they did not expect it to turn into h.e.l.l.
A thick demonic Qi filled the air above the mausoleum, like a thick dark cloud that completely sealed off the sky above the mausoleum.
If one were to fly in the air, one would not be able to see the situation within nine tomb Valley. If one were to observe from a distance, one would also be unable to see anything due to the obstruction of the demonic Qi.
There was no need to guess to know that there would be a lot of monsters in this gloomy imperial mausoleum.
Tang Zhen sighed in his heart. The luck of the 4th battle area was not bad. They were actually able to encounter such a treasure land.
In the early stages of the compet.i.tion, they had the advantage.
No wonder the fourth battle area only sent over 20 Prefecture Masters to guard such an important place like the ruins. It gave people the feeling that they didn’t pay enough attention to it.
It turned out that other than the ruins, the fourth battle zone also had the Imperial mausoleum of the nine tombs Valley, which was the most important place.
If they could destroy this place, they would have won half of the compet.i.tion. Even if the fourth place still had a trump card, it would not be able to turn the situation around.
However, it was definitely not an easy task to destroy nine tomb Valley. If a battle were to break out here, it would be equivalent to a decisive battle between two battlefields.
Tang Zhen similarly did not dare to have such thoughts. He would only obediently complete his mission before considering other things.
In fact, it was still unknown whether he could successfully complete the mission. This nine tombs Valley was like a dragon’s pool or a Tiger’s Den, and it was very likely that he would not be able to return.
After uploading the terrain of nine tombs Valley, Tang Zhen walked into it.
The pa.s.sage in the mausoleum was straight and wide. There were sculptures on both sides of the road, and strange-looking plants were also planted.
Due to the demonic Qi’s infection, these plants had mutated. They kept wriggling and trembling, like poisonous snakes twining together.
Whenever a creature pa.s.sed by, these plants would automatically attack it. If it was an ordinary creature like a snake or a rat, it would become a delicious meal for the monster.
Tang Zhen quietly observed his surroundings. He discovered that there was a pitch-black cave entrance not far from him.
Among the nine tombs, five of them had similar entrances, and the last four were safe and sound.
Tang Zhen secretly guessed that the closer to the back of the tomb, the stronger the monsters would be.
That was why only five tombs had been opened up until now, not all of them.
The entrance of the cave must have been forcefully opened, and it led straight to the core of the mausoleum. The howls of monsters could be heard faintly.
Pitch-black demonic Qi gushed out, transforming into all kinds of hideous forms that made people’s scalps numb.
For ordinary people, this was a true forbidden area. Once they got close, illusions would appear, and if they stayed too long, they would be infected by the demonic Qi.
Such dense demonic Qi indicated that there were definitely many monsters inside the tomb.
Just as Tang Zhen was prepared to approach and observe, the sound of footsteps and the roars of monsters were suddenly transmitted from the inside of the cave.
Soon, cultivators from Lou Cheng appeared. They were dragging iron chains, followed by rows of humanoid monsters.
There were special shackles on the monster’s neck. Whenever they struggled, something like an electric current would appear.
When a monster was provoked, it would scream in pain, but it would also become much more obedient.
This kind of special torture device was obviously made by the cultivators of loucheng city, specially made to deal with monsters.
The number of monsters was huge, and they formed a long line. Under the lead of Lou Cheng’s cultivators, they were locked in a specially cleared open s.p.a.ce.
Runic magic circles were arranged on the empty ground, and the dense lines crisscrossed, looking dazzling.
Cultivators from loucheng city floated around the open s.p.a.ce. Their auras seemed to have surpa.s.sed the Lord-level.
The monsters were driven to the center of the open s.p.a.ce, and then they gathered together under the whip of Lou Cheng’s cultivator.
When the last monster was driven in, the cultivators in the surrounding loucheng attacked at the same time, locking on to the roaring monsters.
A series of ” ka ka ” sounds were heard. The rune iron rings on the monster’s neck were attracted to each other like magnets.
The monsters that discovered the abnormality screamed in fear, but the iron rings seemed to be welded together and could not be pulled apart at all.
The surrounding cultivators of loucheng city were chanting something, but the atmosphere became more and more depressing.
The monster’s struggles became weaker and weaker, and its shrieks and roars also became softer and softer. In the end, it was as if it had fallen asleep, and there was no more movement.
The cultivators of loucheng city were wrapped in a light ball, and a light band connected them together, forming a whole.
Soon, another ball of light appeared and floated above the monsters. It extended downwards and connected to the monsters ‘bodies like blood vessels.
A series of obscure spiritual fluctuations spread out with the appearance of the ball of light, and the unconscious monster’s body began to Twitch.
“Brainwashing? That’s a good idea.”
Tang Zhen, who saw this scene, finally understood what the enemy was trying to do. They were clearly trying to erase the monster’s memory. This would make it easier for him to command.
At the same time, he could also create memories and input them into the monster’s mind to create some false past.
Such a method of forcefully erasing memories and then inputting them would cause serious damage to the monster.
It wouldn’t take too long for the monster to develop serious mental problems, and it was likely to die from a mental breakdown.
The problem was, who would pity a monster? it was already kind of them not to kill them directly.
