Chapter 1008: Chapter 108: Ambush Chapter 1008: Chapter 108: Ambush Li Yao’s eyes lit up as he finally found a clue, yet he didn’t rush and explained, “The signs now indicate that several demons have almost entirely freed themselves, and the hellish armies are intensifying their attacks, decimating the barbarians. This place has a city of demons and a massive number of undead sealed beneath it, and hell will sooner or later extend its reach here. Given the temporary stability, the Archangel wants to resolve the troubles in Tristram, otherwise, Rogge Camp could face danger, especially with the blood moon imminent.”
With that, Dandan gave a sigh of relief, “Now that you say that, I can rest easy. Otherwise, we might have really caused trouble.”
“Rest assured, the Justice Angel is not such a simple figure,” Li Yao said with a smile.
After all, the Justice Archangel has always been the last to laugh, and it’s not just about his character.
He was willing to forsake the source of his power and content to be a re mortal. Then he was able to recall his mories when he was powerless.
Moreover, after tens of thousands of years, he gathered the forces of the Neutral Continent and beca their leader. Now, starting the counterattack on heaven was no easy feat.
Of course, what left the deepest impression on Li Yao was the battle in the firmant of heaven from his past life, the ultimate declaration, “I am justice,” which Li Yao envied for a long ti. That battle also earned the Archangel a huge female fanbase.
“See this stone column with inscriptions? We’re going to split up and look for more. If you find one, rember to call out in the team to inform of the coordinates,” Li Yao said as he marked the coordinates and split up with the two won.
Then the trio searched throughout the Stone Forest until nearly noon, identifying a total of nine stone columns.
Subsequently, the three used the teleportation array found in the Stone Forest to travel to the icy plateau, where they eventually found the gno.
“Have you really found the lost city?” the gno asked. “The rumors are true, then. What’s the situation like inside?”
Li Yao shrugged and said, “According to ancient texts, the place is teeming with monsters and possesses endless treasures. It’s rather risky to open the city gates. That’s why I marked the barrier, so I hurried back to share the discovery with you.”
The gno blinked, then said, “Good, good, let’s set off imdiately.”
Li Yao inquired, “What about this place?”
“Heh, don’t worry. With my chanical Guardians, anyone trying to steal sothing here is on a suicide mission,” the gno said as he pressed a button, animating the silent chanical Guardians, which then returned to quietude.
After that, they set off once more, and by nightfall, they returned to the Mother Tree.
“You guys did well to make it through this place,” the gno said appreciatively, not dwelling on why only three remained: “This ti, the chanical Guardians I brought should be sufficient.”
Protected by the chanical Guardians, they quickly arrived at the Stone Forest.
“You have a considerable understanding of engineering and runes. I presu you have so knowledge of barriers too. So, please proceed with breaking this one,” he said, and with those words, the three received the reward for completing this phase of the task, their experience surging significantly.
“Naturally,” Li Yao said as he took out a key and slid his finger over it, speaking, “In fact, I have long since figured out how to open the gate.”
As Li Yao spoke, the key emitted a faint golden glow.
Then, an ethereal portal appeared, growing larger and larger.
“Let’s go.” The gno stepped directly inside, followed by the two won.
After a few steps, the gno suddenly felt that sothing was off, turned around, and found Li Yao outside, smiling at him.
“Why aren’t you coming in? There’s still a role for you to play inside,” the gno asked, puzzled.
“Your acting skills are impressive, truly gno-like. You have a talent for performing, Mimiron,” Li Yao said, unruffled.
“What, you, how could you…” Mimiron’s expression changed, then he said, “You indeed have ill intentions. I am an engineering gno from Gnoregan. What are you, you two, don’t stop him, go out and kill him for , and I’ll reward this little girl with two chanical Guardians.”
Dan, montarily stunned, pretended to be ominous and said, “What are you doing, spouting nonsense?”
“It’s better for you to stay trapped inside with him,” Li Yao said, but whispered privately to Dan, “Hold her down, then find a chance to use Hearthstone, say it’s to pursue .”
While saying this, he touched the key, and the portal began to fluctuate. Mimiron, who was about to step out, was startled; this was the Tristram sealed by a space-folding spell, and the spatial fluctuations were enough to kill him. He could only watch helplessly as the portal shrank smaller and smaller.
“Damn it, boy, just wait, whoever you are, I will surely kill you. I won’t be trapped here,” Mimiron scoffed.
“One of Ulduar’s overseers, the titan creation Mimiron, I’m well aware of your prowess. However, I don’t need to trap you for long. Half a day is enough for . Can you guess why?” Li Yao put the key back into his backpack.
“You, you’re too bold, coveting my laboratory,” Mimiron realized Li Yao’s intentions in an instant.
“Hahaha, exactly! How can the mission rewards compare to your laboratory? Even if it’s just a temporary laboratory, there must be many valuable things inside.” Li Yao was extrely pleased; although his plan was perfect, the actual execution might not have been successful. Now that it was, it was ti to reap the fruits of victory.
Mimiron was so enraged he was nearly going mad. As Li Yao had said, he had been constantly researching, and there were too many valuable items in the laboratory. For others, having chanical Guardians enter the laboratory would be suicide.
But he had witnessed Li Yao’s engineering and rune expertise. Even Mimiron wouldn’t know how long it would take to open the portal, yet Li Yao had done it easily. His temporary laboratory was no joke.
“Damn it, damn it…” In his anger, a beam of identification magic illuminated him.
Everyone saw him transform into a large gno, at least three yards tall, and chanical, without any flesh. This ant that although he was alive, he was a chanical life created by the titans, unaffected by the Curse of Flesh and without flesh and blood. More crucially, his body was covered with a terrifying phantom image that made anyone’s heart palpitate just by looking at it.
“Who…”
As expected, you’ve been controlled by the old gods,” an elderly voice reached everyone’s ears.
With the voice, an old man stood in front of the two won.
“Cain, it’s you, you old geezer,” Mimiron said through gritted teeth.
“It seems the old man still has so reputation. Indeed, it is I,” Cain said, “Send the ssage of my entrapnt back to Rogge Camp, and you will be rewarded handsoly.”
Imdiately, the task for the trio transford. Li Yao smiled, “At last, the real main plotline has been triggered…”
