Chapter 233: Melee, Infiltration
"This is really troublesome."
With one shot, Tian Mo split the puppet blocking the way in front of him. He looked at the puppets that had formed into a square formation in front of him. Although the number was not particularly large, the feeling he gave was completely different.
Tian Mo is considered to be well-informed. When he was employed before, he encountered many top legions, including even a quasi-seventh-level super legion.
The pressure brought to Him by the soldiers of those legions was not as great as that of the puppet legion in front of Him.
Strong hard power, good order, and no fear of death.
Except for the lack of growth potential, this puppet army already possesses all the capabilities of other top legions.
Moreover, under the suppression of the laws, their physical advantages can be brought into play to the maximum extent, which is extremely terrifying.
"Flame Dragon."
Tian Mo no longer held back, and with a roar, infinite dark flames surged from his body. His entire body was covered in black flames, burning, like an unparalleled demon god.
With his feet lightly stepping on the ground, the hard bricks and stones shattered and collapsed, and Tian Mo flew out instantly. His figure was like black lightning, rushing towards the defense line formed by the puppets with a breath of destruction.
Horrifying black flames surrounded the spear, and then as the right arm thrust out, the space shook, and raging black flames surged out and transformed into a ferocious dragon, which opened its bloody mouth and bit forward fiercely.
The puppets raised their shields to intercept, and the puppets in the front row linked up as a whole. A black curtain wall instantly rose in front of them, surrounding all the puppets.
indestructible.
"Ow—"
The dragon tore at the curtain wall and paused for only a moment before the curtain wall shattered. The black flame dragon rushed into the group of puppets. The puppet heavy infantry in the front quickly melted under the burning of the dark flames and turned into a pool of molten iron.
The black flames rushed forward like a torrent, engulfing all the puppet warriors. The horrifyingly high temperature caused the surrounding air to distort.
Tian Mo's full-strength attack directly opened a large gap in the defense line formed by the puppet warriors. Several people rushed forward through the gap.
In an instant, they tore through the puppet defense line, advanced hundreds of steps, and were about to break through the encirclement and escape.
"Not even close."
Seeing that they were about to escape the encirclement, several people secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Although the strength of these puppets was average compared to them, except for Cole, the other four would have ways to escape even if they were really surrounded, but if they did so, they would probably have to pay a heavy price.
After beheading the last puppet warrior who was resisting, everyone ran out immediately without waiting for other puppets to fill the front line.
"Since things have become chaotic, let's speed up." Zhang Tao pointed into the distance and said in a cold voice.
"it is good."
Naturally, the few people had no objections. Now that they had already mobilized the puppet guards of the city, there was nothing to worry about. They could just do whatever they wanted.
Without the suppression of the puppet magic circle, the five people soared into the sky and flew quickly towards the towering iron tower in the center of the city. As they moved forward, their thinly concealed powerful aura soon attracted the attention of other beings in the city.
There are not only puppet warriors in this city, but also many special monsters and ferocious beasts.
After all, excluding the danger, this city is pretty good. It is a very good place for cultivation and very suitable as a nest for monsters and ferocious beasts. Naturally, it attracts many high-level monsters.
And under the frequent raids by the puppets, those who can still survive in the city are all super creatures of at least level nine without exception.
So when they sensed the undisguised aura of Su Xingyu and the others, the entire city seemed to come alive in an instant.
Along the way, blockers kept appearing and rushing towards the few people. After a while, a large group of monsters followed them.
After flying forward for nearly two hours, they finally saw the tall tower.
The tower is completely black and is forged from an unknown precious metal. It rises high into the clouds and is shaped like a pyramid. Its area becomes smaller as you go up.
As the crowd got closer, the entire tower seemed to sense the crisis and "came alive". Circular platforms unfolded completely and flew around the tower, with sparse magic puppets standing on them. Colorful magic aura enveloped the tower.
Everyone could feel the unusualness of this tower just by looking at it from afar.
This tower is not complete and there are many gaps on the tower body. It is hard to imagine what kind of existence could damage this tower.
“Fuck, this is also considered a tower?” After actually seeing the tower and feeling its power, Tian Mo’s face suddenly darkened and his eyes widened, “So many cannons, and magic puppets controlling them, this thing is even more outrageous than a war fortress!” He even suspected that the complete form of this tower possessed the combat power of a true god.
"Don't ask me, I don't know what's going on. Last time I just took a look from a distance and then was driven away. This is also the first time I saw the attack form of this tower." Facing Tian Mo's questioning, Zhang Tao spread his hands and explained helplessly.
"Do you have a way to get in?" After seeing the tower's attack pattern, Leah was a little worried about whether Zhang Tao could get in smoothly, so she said, "If not, retreat first, and then find a way to get in later."
There are a bunch of monsters behind and a "war fortress" in front. A forceful attack will only lead to death.
Although His current body is not His original body but just an incarnation, it can be said that He has put a lot of effort into creating an incarnation that is as powerful as a demigod, and it is still very important to Him.
If possible, Leah still hopes to bring this incarnation back intact.
"Things are indeed beyond my expectations, but don't worry, it will be no problem to sneak in. Don't forget what my abilities are..." Zhang Tao replied confidently.
As he was speaking, four streams of light shot out from the tall tower in the distance. They exuded a powerful aura and were all demigod-level beings.
"In that case, let's separate here. We will help you attract their attention, and you can take advantage of the chaos to sneak in and get the things." Looking at the demigod monster flying towards him, Su Xingyu remained calm and said softly to Zhang Tao.
"Okay, then you guys be careful and retreat if things get impossible. Don't try to hold on." Zhang Tao felt the monster approaching rapidly from behind, then glanced at the demigod puppet in front of him, his face looking a little solemn.
"Don't worry, we are not stupid. We will run away if we can't win. You go quickly and take this kid with you. We won't be able to take care of him when the fight starts." Tian Mo glanced at Cole, waved his hand and said with a smile.
After saying that, the three of them rushed forward and fought with the four attacking demigods. Zhang Tao flew downwards with Cole and then dived directly into the space rift.
The army of monsters chasing from behind soon joined the battlefield, and a huge melee broke out.
These native creatures all wanted to kill the three people, but their brains destined them to be unable to cooperate well.
The only ones who would cooperate and surround and kill the three people were the puppet warriors, but they were not the same as the other monsters. Even though they had a common enemy, they would still fight among themselves.
"Fight on their own." After Zhang Tao and the other two left, facing the attacks of high-level monsters and groups of puppets, Su Xingyu and the other two very tacitly chose to disperse and fight on their own.
The three of them have relatively "independent" personalities. In the past, due to their relatively strong strength, they rarely had the experience of cooperating with others.
Plus, they had only known each other for a short time, and although they had some time to get used to each other on the way here, it wouldn't be to say that their cooperation was very good.
When encountering a super strong single enemy, the battle area is relatively wide and they can still cooperate. But when they are surrounded by a large number of powerful individuals like now, there is really no need to force cooperation.
Otherwise, not only will it not improve combat effectiveness, it may also weaken one's own strength.
After all, the fighting power of gods mostly relies on the law of authority. If they are too close, even if the two authorities do not conflict with each other, there will still be interference.
Instead of doing this, it would be better for them to disperse and engage in a melee mode.
There were more than two hundred ninth-level warriors on the scene, and the number of demigods reached double digits. Moreover, unlike those counterfeit demigods in the void, these demigods at least possessed the strength of high-level demigods.
Fortunately, they were even more confused and unable to cooperate in a unified manner, otherwise, even if Su Xingyu and the other two were very powerful, they would have been directly defeated this time.
But even so, the battle scenes are very exaggerated.
Due to the suppression of the laws, the strong men present were unable to display their full strength, but even so, the celestial phenomena here were still reversed.
The sky collapsed and the earth split, and the sun and the moon appeared in the same sky.
All kinds of terrifying energies were surging wildly, like a powder keg placed on magma, which could explode at any time.
"die."
Su Xingyu's body has now shrunk to the size of a normal person, and he exudes an even more surging power of death, like a volcano that is about to erupt. He moves among the monsters like a ghost, waving his sword, and the sword energy of death is everywhere, constantly reaping the lives of his enemies.
No matter whether it is a "non-living" puppet or a monster beast, none of them dare to take the death sword energy head-on. It carries the law of death and is extremely corrosive.
The law of death can not only corrode the body, but also the spiritual will.
Ordinary puppets have no spiritual will. They are more like tools. They are either controlled by the operator or operate according to edited programs and can only perform simple and rigid actions.
But high-level puppets are different, they have their own spiritual will.
The spiritual will of a puppet is different from that of a normal creature. It does not have as many thoughts, but it is also one of the core of the puppet. Once it is destroyed, the puppet will completely become a tool.
Therefore, when faced with the sword energy blessed by the power of death, they all dodged very actively.
Su Xingyu moved quickly among the many enemies, his figure like a ghostly phantom, so fast that even a demigod could not catch his figure for a while.
Four demigods followed behind him, launching powerful attacks one after another, but not only did they fail to hit Su Xingyu, they sometimes also hit other monsters and puppets that surrounded him, thus triggering a new round of melee.
In the situation where the enemy outnumbers us, Su Xingyu has no desire to engage in a head-on confrontation, as it makes no sense.
Anyway, his goal is not to deal with these guys, just to delay them.
The same is true for Leah on the other side. As a believer in a deity, the power she holds is elemental, and she has too many means at her disposal.
If we fight, we may not be able to win.
But if you just avoid the fight and run away, that would be too easy.
Leia created countless ice-blue clones. As the wind and snow drifted, the clones blended into the snowflakes, making it difficult to distinguish the real ones from the fake ones.
When you think this is fake, He will instantly burst out with terrifying power and kill you with one blow. When you think this is real and attack with all your strength, He will instantly shatter and turn into a pile of snowflakes.
The local creatures did not have very high spiritual intelligence. Even though they were much stronger than Su Xingyu and the other two, they not only failed to defeat them in a short period of time, but they also suffered considerable losses themselves, with more than a dozen ninth-level powerhouses falling one after another.
But if you want to say that the situation is good, it is not.
Su Xingyu and Leah could run around, but Tian Mo, who lacked the corresponding means, was in great pain. As a pure warrior, he did not come here in his real body, so he lacked the corresponding means of escape and was beaten and fled in panic by a group of powerful enemies.
Fortunately, he had an extremely strong physique, good defense, and was able to withstand beatings. Otherwise, if he were a normal demigod, he would have been seriously injured after being beaten like this.
The three of them ran around everywhere, not giving the enemy a chance to surround them, and the entire battlefield was in extreme chaos.
Some enemies cannot distinguish between friend and foe and can only attack randomly.
On the other side, Zhang Tao took Cole into the tower.
The entire tower is divided into 32 floors, covers a very large area, and has space expansion technology inside, making it much larger than what appears from the outside.
The interior was decorated as magnificently as a palace, with all kinds of powerful inscriptions engraved on the walls and energy flowing through them.
The two people in normal form standing in it were like two ants entering a room inhabited by humans, which was extremely shocking.
"Brother Tao, where are we going?" Cole asked in confusion.
"Just follow me, we'll go to the top." Zhang Tao replied softly.
Cole nodded. "Okay, but do you know the way? This place looks quite complicated, and there are puppets patrolling. It would be terrible if we are discovered by them!"
Not far away, groups of elite puppet warriors were patrolling. Even if enemies from outside approached, it would not affect their operations at all.
Zhang Tao looked at him and said softly, "Follow me and don't talk."
Carefully feeling the fluctuations in space, Zhang Tao led Cole to sneak all the way, avoiding the searches of the puppet warriors, and soon arrived at the center of the tower.
"Is this the energy source of the tower? It's amazing. They actually directly moved a spiritual vein to serve as an energy source." Looking at the sky-high energy column connected to the spiritual stone vein not far away, Cole exclaimed.
“It’s really a big deal.”
Zhang Tao also sighed.
Using a giant vein of spirit stone as their energy core, perhaps only these ancient divine forces could be so arrogant.
