Chapter 561 Explorer: Can you be a little thicker-skinned?

Chapter 561 Explorer: Can you be a little thicker-skinned?

After receiving the message from Sebastian, Lu Li was also a little surprised. He didn't expect that Bone King didn't take the bait, but someone else did.

Although he felt that the explorers of the ancient space should be well prepared, Lu Li would not sit back and watch them operate. He would go over and take a look to find out what new tricks they had.

So Lu Li ordered Shalltear to return to the Kingdom of Theocracy, and he activated his own teleportation skill, directly locating himself in the direction of the Elf Forest.

At this time, in the Elf Forest, Sebastian, Albedo and Juesijieming were surrounded by ten masters, and they were on guard with serious expressions.

"I can't let you kill him like this. He is the king's son after all."

The panda man who descended from the sky city spoke and looked at the body of the Elf King on the ground. This was the son of the elf among the Eight Desire Kings.

If compared to the Great Tomb of Nazarick, the Elf King is similar to Pandora created by the Bone King. Both of them are in the status of young masters, but the internal relationships among the Eight Desire Kings are complicated. The Sky City has been silent for many years after the death of the Eight Desire Kings, and basically has no concern for worldly affairs.

The chief magician of the Bahas Empire once had the honor of visiting the Sky City. It is said that there are 30 guardians inside the Sky City, and there may even be full-level guardians among them.

At present, part of the information has been confirmed. At least among the five suspected guardians who have descended, two are at the maximum level, and the others are above level 90.

Depending on the racial characteristics and equipment, a level 90 guardian may not necessarily be weaker than a normal max-level creature.

At least Sebastian felt that everyone present was very strong, and he didn't dare to say that he could defeat them even in a one-on-one fight. And those mysterious strong men from the Council Country were even more unpredictable.

After all, they had seen it last time in the Theocracy, where several powerful men from the Council Nation who had arrived easily suppressed him, Albedo, and Shalltear. However, when facing the God of War, they were no different from them and all knelt in an instant.

"According to the agreement, we will help you finish this battle, but after the battle in the Great Forest, you must give us the things."

The plump lady who was suspected to be of the dark elf race had an alluring voice and looked at the five explorers as she spoke. She was one of the two full-level guardians who had descended this time.

The floating city has been silent for many years, and it certainly would not act without a purpose. This time they came here with the explorers, not by coincidence, but for the world-class props promised by the other party.

Some of the Eight Desire Kings died in the long river of history because of their short lifespan, while others were killed by the primordial magic of the ancient Dragon King.

Origin magic has similar properties to world-class items. If the Eight Desire Kings die in a normal battle, they will only lose a few levels after being resurrected. However, if they are killed by the Origin magic of the True Dragon King, there is no way to resurrect them except with world-class items or Origin-level resurrection magic.

The Eight Desire Kings won the ancient war and polluted the world with high-level magic in order to block the original magic of this world that was very threatening to them.

The behavior of the Eight Desire Kings has resulted in the newborn dragons in this world being unable to learn primordial magic, and they can only practice positional magic, which in effect extinguished the flame of the dragon race's fighting power.

Although the Eight Desire Kings had the advantage in the ancient battle, there were also many casualties. Some were killed by the original magic, and some died of old age.

They can't do anything about the Eight Desire Kings who died of old age, but those who were killed still have a chance to be resurrected. As long as they use world-class resurrection props, they can resurrect several of the Eight Desire Kings, and then the era of Sky City will come again.

In the eyes of the guardians of the Sky City, the dragon clan is now weak and no one in the world can be called the king. As long as the overlords among the Eight Desire Kings are resurrected, they will be able to truly conquer the world and complete the great cause they have not completed.

"Don't worry, we won't breach the contract."

An explorer from the ancient space said, and added in his heart, "Only if you are still alive after today."

They did find world-class items that could revive the Eight Desire Kings, but they didn't want to give them to Sky City.

If they really want to revive the Eight Desire Kings, they can just give them to the Guardians. After all, the Eight Desire Kings are very powerful, and if they can help deal with Lu Li, they will also be a force to be reckoned with.

But the idiots in the development department have their own ideas. They think that the Eight Desire Kings are "redundant data" in this world. If the Eight Desire Kings are resurrected, there will be some trouble in debugging in the future.

Unlike the explorers, the status of the Development Department is much higher, and they really only regard this world as a development project and do not bring in personal subjective emotions.

They actually don't care whether Lu Li caused trouble in this world, how many people he killed, how many races he slaughtered, and how it affected the balance.

What they cared about was that they couldn't find the source of Lu Li's abnormal data, so they wanted to eliminate Lu Li, not that Lu Li himself had done something that caused their disgust.

According to the development department, they had already agreed to the test department's request, and asking them to operate on the old data would be a bit too much.

Therefore, borrowing the power of Sky City is actually just fooling the guardians of Sky City. At least for now, the explorers of the ancient space cannot resurrect the Eight Desire Kings.

If they go against the development department's wishes, they might be dealt with in the opposite way, and might even be wiped out in the mysterious world and all be subjected to chemical bliss.

"Better so."

The dark elf lady spoke in a low voice, as if she had always been skeptical of the explorers.

After all, in her opinion, the explorers represent the Council Nation, their former enemy, a country founded by the True Dragon King. Now they want to cooperate with them, and no one knows what their intentions are.

After a brief negotiation, a war was about to break out.

The attack of the ten strong men was massive, and colorful lights gathered together and hit Sebastian and the other two in the center.

The attacks of the Sky City guardians are okay. As a game setting, they generally have high health and low attack. The battles between players often take a long time to determine the winner. Just like super-level magic can only hit a fraction of the blood, it takes a lot of skills for the guardians to kill each other.

So even if there were five guardians of the Sky City attacking, Sebastian and the others would be able to withstand it.

But the problem was that it was not only the Guardians who attacked them at this time. The explorers' attack multipliers were obviously higher than those of the Guardians. A lizardman explorer holding a spear directly penetrated the weakest Juesijieming with his weapon and pinned her to a big tree.

The others joined forces to attack Albedo. Because Albedo's previous defensive artifact was shattered by Lu Li, her defense was not as strong as before. Under the joint attack of the four explorers, she was severely injured in an instant, and her whole body was dismembered by the sword light of the weapons.

“Lord Ainz…”

Albedo's voice was filled with sorrow as her body was dismembered but her consciousness remained. "Even so, I can't escape this eternal shackles..."

She found that she had been attacked in a way that theoretically would kill her, but in reality she was not dead. Instead, her body was constantly reuniting, with confetti-like matter flying and gathering to reconstruct her body. Not only was she not dying, she had to fight a battle that she was reluctant to fight, using her body to serve the man.

boom--

Sebastian was also badly beaten by the joint attack of five guardians. He was a level 100 dragon monk with strong comprehensive combat ability, but he could not withstand the large number of opponents.

As the Sky City Guardians and Explorers launched a fierce attack, the earth began to tremble. Trees swayed and collapsed in the cracks on the surface. The earth became as turbulent as the water, and beneath the water, something huge seemed to be rising in the undercurrent.

The next moment, the entire earth bulged up, rising like a dome, and then exploded under the extreme force.

Everyone was stunned by this sudden change. People standing on the ground jumped up one after another to avoid the shock wave that spread over dozens of kilometers.

The elves in the Elf Forest fled in all directions, crying in horror for their destroyed homes, wondering what they had done wrong to deserve such treatment.

The guardians and explorers of the Sky City all used their own abilities to avoid this huge shock wave, looking in confusion at the Elf Forest that seemed to have been turned upside down.

"What the hell?"

The explorers looked at each other, not knowing what was going on. If they used a high-powered magic bombardment, it would indeed produce a similar effect, but the problem was that no one present used this kind of magic that could destroy the scene.

Moreover, they could not sense the magical fluctuations in this world, which did not seem to be a phenomenon caused by magic.

When the smoke and dust settled a little, everyone looked towards the center of the protruding point on the ground and saw a figure standing on top of the mound, wearing black clothes and a black knife, and slapping the dirt off his body.

Because of the different horizontal heights caused by the transmission error, Lu Li was teleported directly underground.

After sensing the urgency of the situation above, Lu Li burst out with strength, reversing gravity from deep underground and forcefully creating an upward tide of mud and sand.

The result was the scene before us. It seemed that in a panic, he accidentally turned over the ground of the Elf Forest.

His outstanding observation Haki allowed him to sense the cries of the elves as they fled in all directions, as if they were mourning the loss of their homes. This made Lu Li a little embarrassed, as he remembered that he had originally wanted to ask people from the Church to establish diplomatic relations with the elves.

However, the embarrassment on his face was refreshed in a moment, and he put on a serious face. He glanced at the guardians and explorers of the sky city and said in a loud voice with anger in his majesty, "You are the ones who destroyed the Elf Forest like this!?"

Those explorers were all stunned. Looking at the entire forest that had been turned into a pile of mud, they thought to themselves, could you be a little more shameless?
Who did this? Don’t you have any idea?
But they did come here as invaders to cause trouble, so there was not much room for rebuttal.

Just look at the fearful and hateful eyes of the elves in the distance and you will know that many of these naive elves really believed Lu Li's words. After all, no one can see clearly what is happening with the earth turbulent this time.

As Lu Li spoke, he also opened up a halo of fear, and his domineering aura spread out, shocking the guardians and explorers of the Sky City.

While they were stunned, he came to the center of the battlefield in an instant, first pulled up Juesijieming with Huidao, and then restored Albedo.

"Master Wushen, there are many people on the other side. One side comes from the Council Country, and the other side comes from the Sky City above."

Sebastian reported faithfully that although he was not able to defeat the enemy, he had been compiling intelligence.

Lu Li affirmed Sebastian's work attitude and nodded with satisfaction. "You are responsible for leading the elves to evacuate to a safe area. Remember that we are here to engage in peaceful diplomacy. What's the point of destroying someone else's country?"

Albedo had a strange look on her face when she heard Lu Li's words. She wondered how come the God of War was even more pretentious than Lord Ainz in this regard, talking about peaceful diplomacy one moment and a big forest the next.

However, Lu Li was sincere in saying this. He destroyed the forest unintentionally. The main reason was that he had no idea how far he had deviated from the teleportation and felt uncomfortable underground. In addition, he sensed that Sebastian and his companions were under siege, so he rushed up.

He thought he was at the edge of the forest, but he was right in the center, and the whole land was turned upside down.

Fortunately, he still has a way to make up for it, but the most urgent task is to deal with the opponent in front of him first.

"Then you will take over the battlefield."

After saluting respectfully, Sebastian signaled Albedo and Juesi Jueming to follow him to evacuate and be responsible for guiding the elves out.

He never questioned Lu Li's orders, and believed in the strength of this Martial God. Even if the other party had ten masters, they would definitely not be a match for the Martial God.

"Just to kill him?"

The dark elf of the Sky City slowly descended from the sky and stepped on the branch of a fallen tree. Her long chocolate-colored legs were clearly visible from under her high-slit cheongsam, and the high heels on her feet made her look even more slender.

She looked at Lu Li with confusion in her eyes. In her opinion, Lu Li was just a max-level warrior. Was it necessary for so many people to fight him? He was not the world boss in the World Tree game.

"Don't underestimate him, or you'll die."

An explorer reminded them that they were the outpost for entering the world, and their job was not to attack and kill Lu Li, but only to delay time and create a situation where they could win.

The same goes for the guardians of Sky City, they are all part of the layout of this ancient space.

The strength of a level 100 guardian should not be underestimated. Although their explosive power in attack may not be as good as that of a specialized explorer, they are generally tankier and have some unique skills that are magical and can serve as a buffer for them.

"What an ominous aura! It reminds me of the kings."

The panda man looked at Lu Li with a nostalgic look. He pointed the street lamp-like weapon in his hand at Lu Li and said, "Let me try him first. You should feel honored to be the sacrifice for the king's revival."

"Although the aura is a bit scary, the face is handsome, making people want to pick it."

A magic staff appeared in the dark elf's hand. She didn't seem to be affected much by the domineering color and the aura of fear. She should have the corresponding resistance.
