Mechanical Alchemist Chapter 578: Gorgon Temple
Chapter 578 Gorgon Temple
PS. Cavan is slightly watery.
On the Evernight, everyone in the Dawn Group was paying close attention to their surroundings, always preparing for a battle or evacuation.
Having just witnessed the ability of Frank, the Son of God of that day, to decompose all things [True Solution to All Things], everyone realized that this was an "invincible enemy."
The old sword **** Bartolo and Queen Medusa, one has almost the peak combat power of a physics professional in the alchemy plane, and the other has the bloodline of a mythical curse. The two men's attacks were unable to deal with that man, and the rest of the Dawn Group could no longer think of any method to deal with the Holy Son.
Su Lun had just taken a huge risk and stayed alone to stop the enemy. Everyone thought that there was a high probability that it would only be delayed for some time.
The situation will be reversed only if they have a chance to land on Cocolosi Island.
If not, then we can only think about it in the long term.
However, not long after the battleship sailed, Qianjiao on the mast suddenly felt space fluctuations surging around him.
Her eyes flashed, and the hand that was always on the hilt of the sword was already clenched three points tighter.
The one who can pinpoint her side is naturally Su Lun.
But it may not only be Su Lun who comes here at this time, but may also follow the enemy.
As soon as Qian Jiao's murderous aura was revealed, almost everyone on the deck looked at the twisted space. As soon as he fixed his eyes, he saw a man in tattered robes walking out of the crack in space.
"It's Mr. Sullen!"
"Mr. Sullen is back!"
"."
Seeing that it was Su Lun, and no enemies seemed to be following him, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
But before the joy in everyone's eyes showed on their expressions, their eyes were attracted to Su Lun's empty right leg, and their expressions all froze.
At this moment, Su Lun's right leg has completely disappeared from the knee down. The wound on the knee is **** and bloody, and there are still some remaining blue light spots that are decomposing the wound like a flame.
Qian Tiao helped Su Lun and asked with concern: "How is your injury?"
"Not too bad."
Su Lun shook his head to indicate that it was okay, and reminded: "Be careful, this light can decompose all matter."
Qianjiao frowned as she looked at it, then she supported her carefully, looking at the strange decomposition force on the wound, she muttered again: "How did you get hurt like this?"
The two landed on the deck, and the medical team of the Dawn Regiment also approached.
A group of high-ranking warriors carefully observed their surroundings, and after realizing that no enemy was chasing them, they also gathered around.
Looking at the concerned expressions of everyone, Su Lun responded as usual: "I just had a fight with the Holy Son that day. Although I suffered this injury, I still hit that guy hard, so it's not a loss."
The tone was calm, as if the broken leg didn't hurt at all, but he felt like he had made a lot of money.
After hearing these words, everyone was stunned, as if they had heard an unexpected response: It was not that they were beaten and ran away, but that they severely injured the enemy?
The next moment, even the old sword **** Bartolo cast an incredulous expression.
Everyone just witnessed how powerful the Holy Son Frank McAdam is. Facing such an enemy, not to mention defeat, even being able to escape with serious injuries alive is considered good.
Even Bartolo himself is not sure.
But now, Su Lun actually said that he had severely damaged the enemy?
Lolota's eyes were filled with bright little stars for an instant, and she asked excitedly: "Mr. Su Lun, you mean, you severely injured the holy son of the Celestial Clan?"
A slight smile appeared on the corner of Su Lun's eyebrows, and he said: "Yes. His soul was burned by me with the fire of death, and it should be difficult to recover in a short time."
This was an understatement, but only he knew how thrilling the battle just now was.
It's not an exaggeration to say it's a gamble on life.
If he had not avoided the decomposition beam in the last moment to decide the winner, what would have been decomposed would not have been as simple as just one leg.
When everyone heard this, their faces all showed joy.
Su Lun said it was a serious injury, so it must be a serious injury!
But they still couldn't believe it. He was 100% immune to magic and could decompose all attacks. Or was it that an enemy with no flaws like the Holy Son of God was defeated?
As long as the enemy can be defeated, it will not be feared. It was like the oppressive sky covered by dark clouds was suddenly pierced by the sunshine. The depression in everyone's hearts was swept away and they immediately became excited and started asking questions.
"Ah, Mr. Su Lun, can you tell me what's going on?"
"Yes. That guy with three eyes can decompose everything. How did you deal with him?"
"."
Su Lun listened to everyone's words and shook his head with a smile. He couldn't explain the battle just now in a few words.
And now is not the time to talk about this.
Qianjo looked at everyone and said angrily: "Okay, okay! Didn't you see that he still has a broken leg?"
A mutilated limb is actually a serious injury, but it is nothing in today's Dawn Regiment. Whether it is Dr. Banks' limb regeneration technology, alien limb replacement technology, or Marfa's mechanical prosthetics, they are already very mature technologies. As an alchemist, there is nothing unacceptable if you switch arms to jump legs.
But Senjou is the eldest sister in the group, and everyone has been trained to the point of losing their temper: "Oh."
Su Lun also smiled and said: "Everyone, go and prepare. Soon, we may face a fierce battle."
Before, I planned to check the situation and help Queen Medusa within my ability.
I originally planned to run away if I couldn't beat him.
But now that the Holy Son Frank has been severely injured, a head-on confrontation may be necessary.
An enemy that can be defeated will naturally have to be fought.
Not to mention that the Holy Son was almost killed this time. Those guys from the plane of gods will definitely organize forces to surround and kill them again.
Unless they stop paying attention to the [Mimir's Fountain], they can't hide.
The next time we really come back, I'm afraid it will be a life and death battle.
As soon as Su Lun said this, everyone in the Dawn Regiment realized the seriousness of the problem, and they immediately returned to their respective posts and began to prepare for war.
As soon as the crowd dispersed, only the medical team and Qian Jiao and several Gao Zhan gathered around Su Lun.
While treating their injuries, they discussed the next battle plan.
At this time, a mental message came from Su Lun's mind, but it was Queen Medusa who was staying in the cabin.
Her tone was also full of disbelief: "You actually severely damaged the soul of the Holy Son? How did you do it?"
As far as she is concerned, it is difficult for a human magician like Son Frank to have an opponent in this plane.
The reason why she signed a cooperation agreement with the human being in front of her was that she never felt that the human adventure group was strong enough to be of great help to her.
It's just because this human being helped her succeed in the disaster.
At that time, she knew that this was a human being with a legendary destiny.
Originally I just wanted to give it a try to see if, like the ancient prophecy of her Gorgon clan, a brave man with a legendary fate would not die so easily.
Queen Medusa didn't have much hope at first, so she decided to give it a try.
She didn't see that these people were ready to evacuate at any time.
This is the content of the Covenant of Equality, and there is nothing much to say.
But unexpectedly, something unexpected happened.
When they met face to face, this human actually defeated that magician?
It seems that the situation suddenly opened up.
These humans could really restrain the magician, and she saw hope of success.
Everyone in the Dawn Group knows about the strange secret technique of [Death Fire], but this person doesn’t know about it.
Su Lun did not intend to tell everyone about his trump card. He just responded: "I used a secret technique to severely damage the soul of the Holy Son, but I failed to kill him. And even so, the [nothing] [Shield of Scale] Even if other believers of God get it, they can use it. It’s just that the effect will be slightly worse, and the threat is also not small.”
After this response, Medusa fell into silence for a moment, as if she was thinking.
After a long while, she said: "Since you can severely injure the Holy Son, other people will also be wary of you if they get hold of it."
"."
Su Lun didn’t respond.
This is indeed the truth.
Whether it is the talent [True Interpretation of All Things] or the projection of the artifact, both require divine support, and the threat will be much smaller if it is replaced by someone else.
But correspondingly, Su Lun's trump cards are getting fewer and fewer.
This time the [Philosopher's Stone] and [Death Fire] were exposed and Frank was seriously injured.
Next time we encounter it, the enemy will definitely be on guard. It will not be easy to have another miraculous effect.
At the same time, Queen Medusa sent another spiritual message: "This return to my ancestral land may be my only chance, and I will not have any reservations. If possible, I think you and your team can do their best to help I have completed the final inheritance. But this process may take a long time."
Su Lun heard the meaning of these words.
The content of the previous covenant was to help each other within the scope of ability. If we really couldn't defeat them, the worst we could do was break up.
But what Queen Medusa is saying now is deep cooperation.
Although it is not a life-and-death covenant, the risks have skyrocketed.
He was weighing the pros and cons, when Queen Medusa said again: "Accordingly, if I can complete the inheritance this time, I will definitely help you with all my strength in the future."
When Su Lun heard this, he thought for a moment and then agreed: "Okay!"
What he saw was not just the present, but the future.
The plane war has just begun, and with the arrival of top masters from the plane of gods, the situation will become increasingly difficult.
It would be very difficult to resist a higher plane with the strength of the two empires of Dawn Regiment and Malfaruying alone.
As Mr. Mirror said, they need allies to fight together, especially allies with top combat capabilities.
If Queen Medusa can succeed this time, she may be a "demigod" in the true sense, and her combat power is extremely exaggerated.
Elsewhere in the alchemical plane, even if there are other semi-god-level intelligent beings, they may not pay attention to the covenant requests of some weak ones. Not to mention the extremely risky choice of going against a powerful higher plane.
This is a decision that puts your destiny on the line.
Su Lun decided to take the current risks to reduce some of the pressure of a full-scale war in the future.
Besides, if we don’t help, the situation of the Dawn Regiment will not be better. If they face those from the plane of gods alone, their chances of winning will be even smaller.
He briefly explained the situation to Queen Medusa, who also responded decisively.
Su Lun discussed this covenant with the senior leaders of the Dawn Regiment again, and everyone unanimously agreed with his decision.
No one is immune to the current situation in the Alchemy Plane. If we cannot deal with the vanguards of the current invasion, the situation will be even worse in the face of a full-scale invasion later.
The covenant was successfully signed.
The Evernight continued to sail rapidly on the sea.
Because he had taken a shortcut to avoid the sea of snakes, Su Lun severely injured the Holy Son Frank who came to pursue him. It seemed that the threat was gone all of a sudden.
But Su Lun had no intention of sailing away slowly.
Without the restraint of the [Pure Mirror], Queen Medusa would have no opponent in this sea area.
Su Lun led several Gao Zhan of the Dawn Regiment, and then took Queen Medusa one step ahead and teleported to Cocolosi Island.
The Yongye then deployed mines along the way and chose another direction. Their destination was another desert island dozens of nautical miles away from Cocolosi Island.
When the war breaks out, Cocolosi Island will definitely be the core battlefield, and it will probably be a purgatory-like scene.
If all members of the Dawn Regiment stayed there, they would be in danger.
The advantage of the Evernight is long-range fire support, so it would be better to separate the battlefield.
In this way, if the enemy mainly attacks Cocolosi Island, then the Dawn Regiment can maximize its fire support advantage; if the enemy mainly attacks the Evernight, the old sword **** Bartolo will be waiting on the ship for a while. It’s harder to lose, and it’s easier to evacuate.
What's more, Su Lun can always support him.
Those guys in the plane of gods only have a few tens of thousands of people in this sea area, and Holy Son Frank was severely injured. Su Lun didn't think the enemy had much chance of winning with a full-scale charge.
As long as he can find the [Innocent Shield], he will go wherever it is.
Not to mention that we will definitely win, until Queen Medusa succeeds in inheriting the inheritance, the overall situation will be decided.
In this way, Su Lun successfully arrived at the ancestral homeland of the Gorgon clan - Cocolosi Island.
"Kokolosi" translated from the ancient language of the Kingdom of Dragon means: the island of endless poisonous snakes.
This is a huge, lush island.
As soon as he teleported near the island, Su Lun sensed dense soul fluctuations in the primeval forest.
He didn't dare to be careless.
Although he is strong now, he is still 50-50 equal to the high-level Gorgon.
Both sides have the ability to kill each other instantly.
Su Lun raised his hand and a spatial vortex appeared in front of him.
The cloaked Queen Medusa walked out of the small void world with Qian Jiao and several other members of the Dawn Regiment.
The poisonous snakes also instantly smelled the approaching humans, and all raised their necks, like duck necks appearing densely throughout the jungle.
Looking closely, there are colorful venomous snakes hanging everywhere in the grass, in the cracks of rocks, and on the treetops.
These venomous snakes are as small as the thickness of a finger, and the largest ones are hundreds of meters long.
Looking at the humans who broke into the forest, these venomous snakes opened their scarlet mouths one after another, revealing their sharp fangs, and gathered in a surging force.
There were "rustling" sounds everywhere in the forest, and a friction sound that sent chills down people's spines.
Su Lun had noticed it a long time ago, so it didn’t hurt to watch.
The Qiantiao people around them all had slightly different expressions on their faces. Apparently, they were not very sensitive to this group of snakes that made people with trypophobia appear.
However, before these poisonous snakes had time to show off their evil, Queen Medusa on the side sneered and lifted the cloak on her head.
In an instant, her head of snake hair was no longer covered, and she roared ferociously toward the snakes.
It was as if the king was declaring sovereignty to her people again, so domineering that even Su Lun and the others did not dare to look away.
As soon as this snake-haired head appeared, the densely packed venomous snakes and fierce flames in the primeval forest all withered.
Just like the natural disaster of the Sea of Snakes that had besieged the Evernight before, the group of snakes seemed to be forced back by an invisible force, and a passage immediately appeared in front of everyone.
When Queen Medusa saw this scene, she narrowed her eyes and sneered: "Huh! Those good sisters who betrayed me, without the support of outsiders, they don't even have the confidence to stay on the island and meet me face to face."
Hearing this, Su Lun's expression relaxed, and he thought it was a good thing.
At that moment, he also sensed several powerful souls fleeing as quickly as Queen Medusa exposed her presence.
The high-level Gorgon on the island has chosen to escape, which at least will save her a lot of trouble for now.
The group of people did not delay where they were, and followed Queen Medusa, rushing towards the center of the island.
While rushing on the road, Su Lun also left spatial coordinates throughout the forest.
And along the way, he also discovered traces of ancient buildings everywhere in the forest.
Those "foreign objects" covered with green moss turned out to be the ruins of ancient buildings that were carefully crafted everywhere.
Su Lun and Mr. Hei looked at each other, not realizing that the entire island was probably the ruins of an ancient city.
Looking at the scale, it is not even smaller than Atlantis in the cursed space before.
And it’s not just buildings, there are also many stone carvings of humans, monsters, and various creatures, most of which are incomplete. These are obviously outsiders who have broken into Cocolosi Island and been petrified for countless years.
But now is not the time for archaeological treasure hunting. Everyone continued in the dense forest without stopping.
Because there was no obstruction, they quickly reached the depths of the island.
After Su Lun arrived, he was instantly shocked.
He never expected that the ancestral home of the Gorgon clan would turn out to be a magnificent palace!
Huge stone pillars hundreds of meters high support a quaint palace. Endless years have caused most of the palace's ground buildings to collapse. Green moss has grown everywhere, and the reliefs that seem to record mythological stories have also been destroyed. erosion blur
However, such an ancient scene does not make people feel that the palace is decadent, but instead gives people a strong sense of history.
This does not look like the primitive Gorgon clan, but rather like a magnificent palace left behind by the glorious civilization of mankind, but hidden on such an inconspicuous island. The better it is preserved, the older the inheritance.
Su Lun clearly sensed that there was a lot of space inside the palace and underground.
The palace itself obviously holds countless secrets.
In front of the palace, there was a pool of black water that was identified as highly toxic. The group of people stopped in front of the pool.
Queen Medusa said: "You are the first humans to see the 'Temple of Gorgon' in countless years. However, you cannot enter the temple, because it will bring you bad luck."
Su Lun nodded, expressing understanding.
The Gorgons are a mythical race of demigods. It is normal to have secrets. They do not need to be allies to know everything.
What's more, this palace is not a good place at first glance. If you can, don't go there.
Queen Medusa did not explain any more.
But after signing the second covenant, her tone became obviously much friendlier, and she added one more sentence: "I'll leave it to you after I go in."
Su Lun and others nodded: "Yes."
Not long after Su Lun and the others arrived at Cocolosi Island, news came from the sentries left by the Dawn Regiment at various places on the sea: "Mr. Su Lun, the fleet of magicians from the plane of the gods is coming towards you!"
