Around the feathered serpent, the trees were rapidly withering, the weeds were all withered, and countless corpses crawled out of the soil. Uncountable shadows, of unknown origin, clustered around the feathered serpent.
Klein and Alger immediately judged that this was definitely a demigod-level feathered serpent!
The two of them involuntarily took a step back, because the gathered corpses and shadows alone looked difficult to deal with.
As for the feathered serpent itself, their spirituality warned them not to look at the feathered serpent over there, as looking at it could very likely lead to death.
Hobert walked forward unhurriedly. He could feel his life seemingly draining away, so he immediately used the mark Mr. Azik had given him, and the process of life loss immediately stopped.
If it were other demigod-level Beyonder creatures, Hobert would have to consider whether to hunt them, but for Beyonder creatures of the "Death" pathway, with his rapier in hand and the mark Azik gave him, what was there to consider?
The feathered serpent also seemed to sense Hobert's special nature and did not immediately launch an attack, but instead had those corpses and specters launch probing attacks.
Hobert smiled slightly, very dashingly and handsomely waving the sword in his hand, drawing a beautiful arc in the air, cutting open an "Underworld Gate."
The Zombies and specters realized something. Ignoring the feathered serpent's orders, they turned around and ran!
But it was impossible for them to escape. The "Underworld Gate" produced a huge suction force. This suction force was not the normal wind-like suction, but a suction that seemed to be grabbing all spiritual bodies.
The Zombies fell like dominoes, and the specters suddenly seemed to lose all their power and were sucked into the "Underworld Gate."
Klein and Alger were stunned. Did the "Lawyer" pathway have such abilities?
But they quickly guessed that the rapier in Hobert's hand was very likely a Grade 1 Sealed Artifact!
Klein was a little envious because he currently only had one Grade 1 Sealed Artifact, and it could only be used "above the gray fog."
Alger didn't feel much about it, because Grade 1 Sealed Artifacts were too far away for him.
"Hiss~"
As Hobert got closer and closer to the feathered serpent, the feathered serpent began to emit continuous "hissing" sounds.
A sense of fear filled Hobert's heart, causing his spiritual body to not obey his control.
Klein and Alger, on the edge of the battlefield, felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave. They both turned their heads away, not daring to look at the battlefield over there.
They realized that just watching from a distance was dangerous, so they simply took a few steps back to deal with the corpses that were being manipulated by the feathered serpent to build the palace.
As Hobert said, there were also some dead Beyonders or Beyonder creatures among them.
"Magnify!" Hobert "magnified" the "Words of the Dead" on his rapier to counter the "hissing" sound.
The "hissing" sound was of course defeated, so the feathered serpent suddenly swung its tail and lashed towards Hobert.
Hobert poured his spirituality into "1-109": "Slaughtering!"
This was the ability of the "Iron-Blooded Knight" he had just "shepherded". Hobert's fist seemed to be covered with a layer of orange-red light, and he punched the feathered serpent!
If this ability were used on the rapier, it would temporarily cover the rapier's suppression of Beyonder creatures of the "Death" pathway, so Hobert simply used his own fist to attack!
The feathered serpent also did not expect that its probing attack would attract such a powerful blow.
This was also Hobert consciously changing some of his habits. If it were normal, he would be more cautious than the feathered serpent.
Just as Hobert was about to hit the feathered serpent, a bronze door with intricate mystical symbols suddenly appeared in front of him.
This "Underworld Gate" was hit by Hobert's full blow before it even opened.
The bronze door was visibly skewed and made a "creaking" sound, as if the door hinge had been broken.
"Underworld Gate" is just a general term. The strength of the Beyonder's own ability also determines the strength of the "Underworld Gate" they summon.
Like a demigod-level feathered serpent, the "Underworld Gate" it summons is also at the demigod level, so when hit by the demigod-level "Slaughter", it will be "injured."
Hobert bypassed the "Underworld Gate" and stabbed the feathered serpent with his rapier.
Blocked by the "Underworld Gate", the feathered serpent had already prepared to meet the enemy. It spat a black snake letter at Hobert: "Hiss~"
Hobert immediately felt as if he had been hit by an invisible force. His soul and body seemed to immediately become decayed. This was not a simple feeling, but his skin really immediately ulcerated.
"Bestow!" Hobert immediately "bestowed" these negative states to the feathered serpent. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the feathered serpent struck Hobert with its tail, sending him flying into the gap where the "Underworld Gate" opened.
Streams of pale arms stretched out and immediately grabbed Hobert.
He felt cold all over, unable to move, and his entire life force was draining away.
Just like that, Hobert was dragged into the "Underworld Gate."
Thump~
The door merged and quickly disappeared.
Only then did the feathered serpent have time to look at its rapidly withering scales. This was the injury that Hobert had just given it. The scales seemed to have ulcerated.
But soon, under the feathered serpent's Beyonder power, the scales returned to their original state.
Just as it looked at the other two Beyonders who had broken into its territory, a large opening was suddenly cut into the air, and Hobert drilled out of the Underworld, punching the feathered serpent at close range! Directly sending the huge feathered serpent flying.
Hobert, like a cannonball being fired, punched the feathered serpent in mid-air again, and then kicked the feathered serpent's head hard, shattering one of its eyes and smashing the eye socket.
This was the "Hunter" pathway's "Fatal Blow", each blow heavier than the last. If he could land five consecutive blows, he could even injure an angel.
It's just that the angel wouldn't honestly stand there and be beaten.
Although Hobert only had time to deliver three blows before the feathered serpent flapped its wings to avoid them.
But the feathered serpent only escaped a short distance before it fell to the ground from mid-air due to its severe injuries.
Hobert was about to rush over to continue the pursuit, but the feathered serpent's skin suddenly cracked, spraying out a large amount of black mist.
This mist had the smell of death, and Hobert quickly avoided it!
Then Hobert summoned dozens of fire crows, just about to fly into the black mist to bomb the feathered serpent, when suddenly a smaller feathered serpent suddenly poked its head out of the black mist, almost biting Hobert.
Under the cover of the fire crows, Hobert escaped in a thrilling manner.
This made him a little strange. Could there be two feathered serpents here?
When the black mist dissipated, Hobert saw a thick layer of snake skin on the ground!
Only then did he understand that the feathered serpent had just shed a layer of skin, as if it had shed all the injuries from before along with that layer of skin.
At this time, the feathered serpent was "lightly armed" and looked more agile than before, constantly attacking with bites and whips.
At the same time, a phantom door appeared on its body, releasing three evil spirits one after another to attack Hobert.
Hobert, however, dodged the attacks while opening a "Underworld Gate" again. The three evil spirits imprisoned in the feathered serpent's body were also very powerful, but under the power of the Underworld, they were immediately suppressed, desperately resisting the suction from the Underworld.
It was at this time that Hobert discovered that bloody tears were flowing from the corners of the feathered serpent's eyes.
He suddenly realized that the injury caused by his most ruthless kick had not been completely "shed" by the feathered serpent along with its molted skin.
Hobert seized the opportunity, stretched out his fist, and used the "1-109's" "Flesh Bomb" ability to detonate the blood flowing from the feathered serpent, blasting its eye again, and the feathered serpent was also blasted to the ground, rolling.
At this time, the feathered serpent did not hesitate and immediately turned to its cave.
For it, this battle was too frustrating. The rapier in Hobert's hand made most of its abilities ineffective. It finally managed to capture Hobert to the Underworld, but after all, that was the Underworld, not the Spirit World. Even an angel would have to spend some effort to return from the Underworld.
Of course, Beyonders of the "Death" pathway are an exception.
What the feathered serpent did not expect was that this guy came back as easily as if he had returned to his own backyard.
As for the "Words of the Dead" and "Withering" attacks, these were the feathered serpent's signature skills, but they were of no use at all!
When the feathered serpent saw that the three evil spirits it had used as its last trump card were also completely controlled by the power from the Underworld, it planned to escape.
How could Hobert let it go: "Disorder!"
He rushed forward, and the rapier suddenly lengthened and pierced the feathered serpent's back.
The severe pain awakened the feathered serpent from its brief state of "disorder". It opened its mouth and spat a mouthful of black mist at Hobert, continuing to crawl towards the cave.
This time, Hobert commanded the fire crows to all hit the feathered serpent. The whistling sound of the fire crows flying past was very similar to a string of rockets being fired, and the power was about the same as a rocket.
The violent explosion dispersed the black mist, and Hobert stepped forward again: "Distortion!"
He "distorted" the feathered serpent's idea of "drilling into the cave and escaping through the underground passage" into "there is no way to escape even if you drill into the cave".
So the injured feathered serpent avoided its cave and flew away to escape.
When it realized that its idea was contrary to its original intention, it needed to turn around to get into the cave, but Hobert was already blocking the entrance of the cave at this time, and reached out to the feathered serpent.
The feathered serpent was about to drill into the other holes that had been reserved, but the place where it had been injured before exploded again.
Hobert detonated the flesh and blood in those injured places again, thus launching a secondary attack on the feathered serpent.
"Magnify!" Hobert magnified the feathered serpent's serious injury into a fatal injury.
The feathered serpent immediately became dying. It was about to shed its skin again, but Hobert had already rushed up, and the rapier in his hand instantly turned into a two-handed greatsword, chopping off the feathered serpent's head.
The feathered serpent's entire body suddenly stiffened, and then the huge body began to struggle violently.
According to common sense, it would not die if its head was chopped off, but Hobert's sword was different, cutting its spiritual body in half as well.
So in the process of struggling, the scales on its body turned white for a while, black for a while, and then returned to dark green.
Hobert realized that this feathered serpent was unwilling to die like this and showed signs of losing control!
He quickly jumped onto the feathered serpent, dug his fingers into the feathered serpent's flesh to avoid being thrown off, and placed his other hand on the feathered serpent's scales, injecting spirituality into "1-109."
"Huh?" Originally, Hobert planned to first "shepherd" the feathered serpent's spiritual body, and then release this spiritual body after leaving the island to obtain its Beyonder characteristics.
Who knew that "1-109" was obviously resisting Hobert's spirituality, and seemed unwilling to shepherd this soul?
Hobert could forcibly "shepherd", but he realized that this was not only "1-109's" warning to himself, but also his own spirituality's warning to himself.
So he let go, jumped aside, and quietly waited for the feathered serpent to die in the loss of control, and the Beyonder characteristics were concentrated on a scale, eventually forming a green domino-like thing.
Hobert put away this domino that always caused everything around it to wither, and opened his leather bag to stuff the feathered serpent's body into the leather bag.
This was given to him by Christian before, that leather bag with space magic.
The space inside was as big as a basement, more than enough to stuff a feathered serpent in.
At this time, it was already far away from the original battlefield. When Hobert found Klein and Alger, their battle was over, and they had harvested five Beyonder characteristics.
Hobert said to them: "Solved, let's continue forward."
Klein and Alger both felt a little unbelievable, after all, the battle just now only lasted two or three minutes.
Hobert seemed to see their thoughts, so he smiled and said: "The rapier in my hand has a suppressive effect on Beyonders or Beyonder creatures of the 'Death' pathway."
Klein and Alger's eyes did not change much, because even so, it was too fast! That feathered serpent was a demigod level! A demigod that is difficult to kill!
A few seconds later, Alger cleared his throat and said: "I hope the battle just now didn't wake up any great existence."
The explosion of the fire crows just now was very loud and should be able to travel a long distance.
Hobert nodded: "I should have 'magnified' the explosion just now. If it awakens other guys, it will make our harvest richer."
Alger opened his mouth: That's not what I meant!
Klein said at this time: "We'd better get to that ruin as soon as possible."
Although he did not fight the feathered serpent head-on just now, he still felt a little frightened until now. This is the impact brought by the demigod-level enemy.
This is not a good experience, so don't encounter this level of enemy again!
Alger had a similar idea, pointing to the forest: "Go inside."
The three continued forward. After walking for a few minutes, Alger suddenly stopped: "If we go forward a little further, there will be a psychedelic wind chime tree. I want to try to deal with it myself first."
Hobert didn't think much: "Okay."
He actually prefers to explore with Alger. This guy always knows when to be honest.
In order to maintain his persona, Klein said coldly and politely: "If you can't deal with it, it's best to ask for help actively, otherwise I will assume that you are still persevering."
Alger quietly took a breath, holding the horse lamp and continued to move forward.
As they walked, they heard the faint tinkling of wind chimes, immediately giving them a sense of returning home and relaxing both body and mind.
After walking a few more steps, the three of them saw a strange tree. Its brownish-green trunk had slender cracks, each appearing to house constantly rotating eyes.
Hanging from the outstretched branches were wind chime-like gray objects that swayed on their own, emitting pleasant sounds.
Near the trunk and at the very top branch was a fist-sized, colorless, translucent fruit.
No matter how much Klein and Alger emphasized and repeated in their minds that they were currently under hypnosis, they still wanted to approach this psychedelic wind chime tree, feeling that there was something extremely precious to them there.
Hobert was also affected to some extent, but not much. He sat on a rock, as if preparing to enjoy a performance.
Alger brought the 'Mental Whip,' a mystical item with the negative effect of causing headaches, which would allow him to effectively avoid being hypnotized by the psychedelic wind chime tree.
Then he took out a wooden box containing rats he had prepared in advance.
At this moment, Hobert was already laughing unkindly, but because he was sitting behind, Klein and Alger didn't notice.
Klein was secretly nodding: 'The Hanged Man' wants to use rats as bait to attract the psychedelic wind chime tree's attention, a very thorough preparation!
But Alger seemed to notice something. He picked up the rat and shook it with a strange expression, only to find that the rat was already stiff.
Although he didn't directly fight the feathered serpent in the previous battle, the influence emitted by the feathered serpent was enough to kill ordinary creatures like rats.
The corners of Klein's mouth twitched. He wanted to laugh but didn't dare to, afraid of ruining his persona.
Hobert simply laughed and asked, "Need any help?"
"I have backup plans." Alger cleared his throat and, while walking towards the psychedelic wind chime tree, began to sing loudly: "Surge, surge, surge, the sea, crashing against the gray and cold rocks..."
His singing was rough and bold, but completely off-key, full of irritating, nauseating, and headache-inducing power.
The branches of the psychedelic wind chime tree trembled simultaneously, retracting as if to curl up together. The beautiful chimes that rang out slightly diluted the terrible noise.
Even though Klein had restrained his spirituality, at this moment, the veins on his forehead throbbed, and a sudden urge to kill the singer arose in his heart.
Alger continued to sing as he moved forward: "Surge, surge, surge, the sea, breaking at the foot of the rocks!"
"Disorder!" This 'wonderful' singing was interrupted by Hobert's ability.
Klein and Alger both turned to look at the masked demigod.
Hobert had stood up at some point. Although they couldn't see his expression, Klein could guess that he must be frowning or even gritting his teeth.
"I don't mean anything else!" Hobert said, "That fruit is yours. Whoever dares to snatch it from you, I'll beat them to death! But please don't sing anymore!"
Alger seemed to understand something. He first smiled helplessly, then seized the opportunity to summon invisible wind blades, slashing at the very top of the psychedelic wind chime tree where the fruit was.
The fist-sized fruit fell, and a strong wind swept it into Alger's palm.
The branches of the psychedelic wind chime tree drooped simultaneously, losing their vitality.
Hobert and Klein both breathed a sigh of relief. This hunt was finally over.
Alger was a little embarrassed: "Sorry, my singing was a bit off-key."
At the same time, he couldn't help but consider a very serious question: Even the 'Emperor,' who has advanced to a demigod, can't stand my singing. How am I supposed to act as an 'Ocean Songster'?
Hobert thought: No, your singing wasn't just off-key; every single note was wrong. Calling it off-key is an insult to the composer.
He sighed and said, "Actually, I should congratulate you. After becoming the 'Ocean Songster,' you've gained an ability that can irritate even demigods!"
Klein thought: This ability might be innate, perhaps not related to advancing to 'Ocean Songster.'
Alger smiled wryly. Before he could say anything, Hobert added, "Go and pull out that psychedelic wind chime tree. I remember that the 'eyes' on its bark are auxiliary Ingredients for Sequence 6 of the 'Reader' pathway, and the wind chimes on the branches seem to be higher-level supplementary Ingredients, but I'm not sure where exactly they're used."
Alger was slightly taken aback: "Carrying it with us will be very cumbersome."
Hobert took off his satchel: "It won't be cumbersome. I'll carry it."
Alger seemed to realize that it was an item with spatial magic. So, he stepped forward, shook the psychedelic wind chime tree, broke its roots, and easily pulled it out.
With Klein's help, they worked together to stuff the tree into the small satchel.
Hobert closed the satchel: "Alright, let's continue forward."
The three of them continued forward, walking for over half an hour, and the forest began to thin out again.
"After passing through this sparse area, we'll reach the edge of the ancient ruins," Alger broke the silence. "I've previously discovered traces of demigod-level Beyonder creatures around here."
"But the strange thing is that there are no clues of Beyonder creatures active inside the ancient ruins at all."
Klein muttered in his heart that this was likely because there was something even more terrifying inside the ancient ruins.
However, he wasn't too worried because he had done a corresponding divination 'above the gray fog' beforehand. The revelation he received was: there is danger, there are twists and turns, but the possibility of leaving safely is not small.
The three of them continued forward. After walking only a few dozen meters, Hobert said seemingly casually, "There's a Beyonder creature ahead."
Hobert was about to unleash his demigod's aura, but considering that it would likely scare the creature away, he only gave a warning.
Klein was slightly stunned. His spirituality didn't sense anything related: Is this the difference between a demigod and Sequence 5?
Sure enough, a few seconds later, they saw a pair of ghostly blue eyes.
It was a black baboon squatting on a branch. Its fur had natural curls, and a patch of black crystals grew out of its head. These crystals grew upwards, clustering irregularly into a strange crown.
Hobert thought: True curly-haired baboon!
As soon as they saw the black baboon, Klein and Alger had the urge to lower their heads, as if they dared not look directly at it.
According to the order, it was Klein's turn to act this time. Hobert and Alger both stepped back, watching Klein unleash his attacks. First, he used 'Travel' to approach the target, then used 'Wraith' to control it, and finally, the fatal blow of 'Dirge'.
This Beyonder creature with Sequence 5 power was easily killed.
Hobert nodded slowly: Klein, with the support of his marionette and mystical items, is definitely among the top of Sequence 5.
Then he couldn't help but simulate the tactics of fighting against Klein in his mind: This curly-haired baboon suffered because of its low intelligence. If I were fighting Klein, I would love for these very fast 'Seers' to get close to me. While 'Distorting' his 'Possession' ability, a slap would be enough to make him doubt his life.
In close combat, the 'Marionettist' is no match for the 'Mentor of Disorder.'
Hobert also thought: It's just that Klein probably wouldn't use such tactics when facing me. His most likely tactic would be to use 'Wraith' and his ranged skills to wear me down, and then patiently wait for an opportunity to manipulate the 'Spirit Threads.'
The manipulation of 'Spirit Body Threads' is not like 'Possession,' which can be 'Distorted' this second but not the next.
Faced with such tactics, the only option is to attack proactively, using 'Travel' to get close, and then continuously using 'Arrogance' and 'Disorder.' No matter which ability hits the main body, it can create good conditions for close combat.
Just as Hobert was thinking about this, he suddenly sensed the approach of danger.
He threw the satchel to Klein: "Put the corpse in the satchel, quickly hide inside the ruins!"
Alger was still surprised that Klein had so easily hunted down a Beyonder creature at Sequence 5, and Klein was also waiting for the Beyonder characteristics to separate.
But after hearing the 'Emperor's' warning, they immediately took action, stuffing the curly-haired baboon, whose Beyonder characteristics had not yet separated, into the satchel.
Just as they finished packing, they felt a huge sense of oppression.
This sense of oppression was several times stronger than that of the curly-haired baboon just now. At this time, they not only couldn't lift their heads, but also had a strong urge to kneel.
Hobert stood in front of them, also releasing his own demigod's aura.
Klein and Alger felt as if a huge rock pressing on their chests had suddenly been removed. While still feeling lingering fear, the two quickly ran towards the ruins.
At this time, Klein, who had the danger prediction ability of 'The Fool,' saw in his mind a large, curly-haired baboon running quickly towards them!
In addition to being much larger than the black baboon just now, its black fur seemed to emit a black light, and the crystals on its head were deep black, forming what looked like a solemn crown.
This was definitely a demigod-level curly-haired baboon, and Klein seriously suspected that it might be in a mythical creature state. Fortunately, they ran fast; otherwise, the consequences of witnessing it would have been unimaginable.
Hobert, who had already drawn his thin sword, wondered if he had stirred up a baboon's nest today. How did another baboon come?
Then he began to think about a very serious question: Could the mythical creature state of the 'Lawyer' pathway be a curly-haired baboon?
He shook his head: "Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
At this time, the demigod-level curly-haired baboon roared at Hobert and was about to charge when Hobert reached out first: "Weaken!"
The curly-haired baboon didn't seem to be affected much, and charged head-on. At the same time, Hobert's surroundings immediately fell into a state of chaos, and he himself felt dazed.
He found that when he wanted to raise his left hand, he raised his right hand instead, and when he wanted to lift his left foot, he turned around in circles.
"Distort!" Hobert 'Distorted' his position with a tree, appearing outside the 'Disordered' area.
Hobert's dazed feeling disappeared, but his body was still a little uncoordinated.
This was the first time he felt that his 'Chaos' could bring so much inconvenience to the enemy.
The curly-haired baboon seemed to anticipate Hobert's movement and slapped him.
"Bestow!" Hobert 'Bestowed' the remaining 'Disordered' state to the curly-haired baboon, and punched the curly-haired baboon head-on in a contest of strength.
As a result, the curly-haired baboon's slap sent Hobert back more than ten meters, and it followed up with another punch.
"Ha!" Hobert shouted as if to cheer himself up, and also punched the curly-haired baboon head-on again in a contest.
Hobert took two steps back, his back hitting a towering tree.
Crack~
The clearly mutated tree on the island was directly broken and flew out vertically.
Crack, crack~
It knocked down two more towering trees before the force of the punch was completely dissipated.
The curly-haired baboon's attacks came like a storm. Although it was in a 'Weakened' state, it didn't look weak at all.
Hobert, who had a further understanding of his own strength and physique, decided to end this battle as soon as possible.
"Charm!" Hobert had planned to use his mental attacks to control the enemy when he used 'Weaken' and 'Grant' in succession.
Because the curly-haired baboon's flaws were too obvious. Like the previous black-haired baboon, they seemed to have put all their talents into 'Strength.'
Even though this guy was in a 'Weakened' state, Hobert was no match for it in terms of strength.
But 'Weaken' not only weakens strength, but also weakens intelligence, spirituality, and other aspects.
The curly-haired baboon's already meager intelligence was weakened again, and under the 'Bestowed' state, 'Charm' and other abilities would be greatly enhanced.
Sure enough, the curly-haired baboon couldn't bring down its raised fist. It suddenly felt that the two-legged beast in front of it looked quite cute.
Hobert certainly wouldn't be polite with it: "Slaughter!"
A punch hit the curly-haired baboon's chest, and the punch went directly into its flesh and bones. He even felt the curly-haired baboon's soft internal organs!
The curly-haired baboon roared angrily, recovered from the 'Charm' state, and then ran away.
"Magnify!" Hobert then magnified the opponent's serious injury into a fatal injury!
At the same time, he thought: 'Slaughter' + 'Magnify' is a perfect match!
The curly-haired baboon staggered, almost falling, but its physique was strong. Even with such a serious chest injury, it could still continue to escape.
Just as it was preparing to 'Bestow' its own injuries to the person behind it, Hobert had already raised his hand first: "Connection!"
The curly-haired baboon looked in the direction of the black baboon that had just been killed by Klein. There was still the other party's brains and blood on the ground.
While the other party was feeling emotional, Hobert's second wave of attacks had already arrived, directly piercing the curly-haired baboon's head with a thin sword, nailing it to a large tree.
The curly-haired baboon struggled desperately, and its surroundings suddenly became chaotic. Whether it was Beyonder abilities or physical attacks, it was difficult to penetrate this chaotic area.
Hobert's sword was still stuck in the opponent's head, but he couldn't grasp the hilt. It was right in front of him, but his outstretched hand kept reaching in other directions.
Hobert had already thought of a way to deal with this situation: "Disorder!"
This method was to "confuse" the opponent's "confusion." Although it wouldn't have a "negative times negative equals positive" effect, Hobert's attacks would have a certain probability of hitting the target.
So Hobert began to use "Fatal Attack." The first strike hit a tree to the side, sending the towering tree flying. The second strike hit a nearby rock, shattering it into pieces.
The third strike hit the woolly baboon, directly breaking its spine. The fourth strike hit it again, shattering the scapula of its left shoulder. The broken bone pierced through the flesh, turning outwards.
The surrounding "disordered" state gradually disappeared, and the woolly baboon's breathing became weaker.
Hobert stepped forward, grasped the hilt, and the rapier instantly transformed into a two-handed greatsword, splitting the woolly baboon's head.
Sheathing his sword, Hobert was about to wait for the woolly baboon's Beyonder characteristics to separate when he suddenly looked up towards the ruins: "So many demigod-level Beyonder creatures?"
...
Klein and Alger quickly headed towards the ruins. As they walked, Klein suddenly felt something. He raised his hand and saw his fingernails gradually losing their luster.
Then his knees stiffened, and his muscles solidified.
Only then did he and Alger's spirituality realize the extreme danger. Klein immediately grabbed Alger's shoulder and entered the richly colored spirit world, preparing to quickly traverse to the ancient ruins.
Suddenly, the colors before Klein's eyes uniformly turned deep black, and presented fine textures, like a head of dark hair!
A chill filled his heart. Klein didn't hesitate to leave the spirit world and return to the real world.
The close contact with the "long hair" had already started to petrify them from their feet, and now they couldn't move their legs.
At this moment, the two saw Hobert dragging the corpse of a three-to-four-meter-long, sturdy woolly baboon, rushing towards them.
His "running" was interesting, as if he was moving forward in fits and starts.
This reminded Klein of some horror movies he had seen before. In the first half of the second, Hobert was still seven or eight meters away, and in the second half of the second, he had appeared in front of them as if he had jumped through space.
Half a second later, he advanced another seven or eight meters.
This "running" speed was very fast. Just as they saw Hobert appear in the sparse forest, he was very close in the blink of an eye. In another blink of an eye, Hobert had already punched out, hitting a lithe body from the air not far from them. Whether it was her or its hair was very long, like a curtain, and once again hid in the air.
Hobert threw the woolly baboon in his other hand into the nearby ruins, and then, with one arm around each of Klein and Alger, quickly entered the ruins using the "distorted" distance method.
As soon as they entered the ruins, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief, and their spiritual warning disappeared.
However, Klein and Alger's petrification had already reached their thighs, and Hobert's fist was also petrified.
Fortunately, the gray-white petrification was gradually fading, and their bodies were rapidly recovering.
Hobert laughed: "This island is a treasure. In such a short period of time, I've already encountered the third demigod-level mythical creature."
"It's a pity that my spirituality has been consumed a lot, and I don't have any miraculous items that can restrain the opponent's abilities, otherwise I could try hunting it."
Klein and Alger were sweating profusely at this time. They had already made up their minds that they must never come to such a dangerous place again before becoming demigods.
At this time, Alger looked at the woolly baboon's corpse that Hobert had thrown in earlier, and he couldn't help but sigh: These two teammates, one at Sequence 5, so easily solved an Beyonder creature of Sequence 5. One at the demigod level, so easily solved an Beyonder creature at the demigod level.
The time they were apart was only a little over half a minute, and "Emperor" had already killed the opponent and chased after them.
Hobert, who recovered first, put the huge woolly baboon into his leather bag in a good mood.
This leather bag with space magic was already full, and it could barely hold the outer buckle.
Hobert sighed in his heart: I really hope Fors can become a demigod soon, so that I will have endless space magic equipment to use.
At this time, Alger, who had also recovered, asked: "What kind of creature attacked us just now?"
If it wasn't for the lithe figure that "Emperor" had punched out of the air, he would have thought that the area was petrifying them.
"That should be an Beyonder creature corresponding to Sequence 3 'Demoness of Unaging'," Hobert said: "I remember that 'Demoness of Unaging' has the ability to petrify."
Then he explained casually: "The Beyonder creatures on these islands are very strange. Many of them have complete Beyonder characteristics of a certain Sequence."
Alger nodded as if he had learned something.
But Klein recalled the "Demoness of Unaging" he encountered on the "Vice Admiral Ailment's" ship.
Then, the three of them looked together at the ruins in front of them. Alger said, "I came here during the day. This looks like a church."
After resting for a while, he led the way into a relatively intact hall: "I explored inward from here last time."
Entering the interior of the building, you could see the outer towers and bell towers from some collapsed places.
Alger continued to explain: "After leaving here last time, I consulted some information. This is the architectural style of the Fourth Epoch."
"Its biggest feature is the upper temple and lower tomb, uniting life and death together, but I cannot be sure of the internal structure of this church, because I didn't explore deeply enough last time."
"Ahead is the mural area, which is the basis for my judgment that there are extremely important things here."
As he spoke, they came to an area with murals on the walls. The first mural contained crosses that emitted layers of light.
In front of the cross was a majestic figure, surrounded by two-winged, four-winged, and six-winged angels.
Hobert simply glanced at it and continued forward, but Klein clearly paused. He had seen similar murals in Amon's mausoleum.
But he quickly found the difference. There was no description of Adam and Amon in it. The majestic divine figure held a simple and unadorned stone slab in both hands.
That stone slab was painted extremely vaguely, but it had a feeling of being ancient and young, sacred and evil.
Klein's pupils dilated slightly, and he immediately realized what it was: "Blasphemy Slate!"
