Strange Recovery was turned into an online game by me

Chapter 281
Yu Xiao suspected that Mei Lin might have something to do with the ancient god Luo Nan.

Could this guy be the big boss of this dungeon?
For example, Merlin wanted to awaken the ancient god of Luonan, so he established the Truth Cult, but what is the motivation for doing so, is there any benefit for him to awaken an ancient god of the catacombs?

Regardless of the truth.

The answer will be revealed soon.

Yu Xiao successfully obtained the help of the dark goblins through the relationship of completing this branch task.

Dark goblin commander Tavis will continue to lead twenty of the most powerful alchemy mech monsters to assist Yu Xiao to complete the next mission.

Because the dark goblins have dealt with the followers of the Truth Cult, and because the dark goblins have lived here for a long time, they are very familiar with the surrounding environment, and they will soon arrive near the destination under their leadership.

"grown ups!"

"Ahead is the Black Crystal Cave."

"The secret stronghold of the Black Truth is in this black crystal cave!"

Travis faced a cave entrance ahead.

Has it finally arrived?
Yu Xiao looked at the entrance of the cave in front of him. The reason why this cave is called the Black Crystal Cave is mainly because there are a lot of black crystals in this cave.

This kind of black spar should be a very old age, influenced by some kind of chaotic and evil energy, and finally formed a mineral with high material value.

But it doesn't matter.

Yu Xiaodao: "Finally found it, everyone is ready, we may have to fight a tough battle next."

Although I don't know if Merlin, the founder of the teaching, will be encountered here, the Black Truth Cult itself is not weak, otherwise Luo Nan would not need to mobilize an army to encircle and suppress it.

this action.

Although it is mainly reconnaissance.

But also be prepared to fight.

Of course, if conditions permit or if it is possible, Yu Xiao still hopes to win the Black Truth Cult in one go, so as to gain more experience and rewards.

But just as everyone walked into the cave.

The picture in front of me is completely different from what I imagined.

A huge city wall pass appeared directly in front of the field of vision.

This city wall obviously took a lot of resources to build, and all kinds of magical energy and light shone on it.

It's just surprising that this pass is not guarded, not only is it unguarded, but more than half of it has collapsed, completely defenseless.

Yu Xiao released a few scout bats.

He can be seen by scouting the bat.

The space and area in this cave are not small.

There are also several mountain ranges criss-crossing among them.

There are no weeds or other plants in these mountains, only crimson squirming numbers and towering black crystal damage, and several mountains are in the shape of a vortex, and there is a large-scale settlement in the most central area.

If you are not wrong.

The settlement at the center of the Whirlpool Mountains is the headquarters of the Black Truth.

It's just that if you look at it from a distance at this moment, you will find that it has become a ruin and has been severely damaged. It is obvious that it has experienced a tragic war
"what happened?"

"It's under attack!"

"We seem to be one step too late!"

After everyone walked into the burrow, they all discovered the abnormality here.

All the passes showed signs of damage, and the magic towers had collapsed. Traces of fierce battles could be found everywhere, and many corpses buried under the ruins could be seen.

Although it has not yet reached the center of the whirlpool mountain range.

But judging from the traces at the scene, the battle did not happen recently, and it was not caused by foreign enemies.

Tavis judged through observation: "Master Investigator, judging from the battle scene, there should be an internal war, and the Black Truth probably had internal fighting and cannibalism leading to the current result."

Everyone looked at each other.

How can you fight among yourself?

At this time, Yu Xiao felt a trace of murderous intent.

He then discovered through scouting bats that a group of targets appeared in front of him, all of which were red signals.

"Notice."

"Someone is approaching."

Almost at the same time, countless fireballs, lightning, and wind blades, like a storm, hit everyone's location from a distance.

Lancelot raised the knight sword, opened the defensive barrier, and easily defended against these attacks.

Whoosh whoosh!

Tavis and the alchemy mecha quickly launched a counterattack, and hundreds of alchemy missiles were shot out with lightning speed, causing a violent explosion in the distance.

"Roar!"

There was a roar.

Came from the explosion.

Yu Xiao saw several deformed and distorted black priests survived the powerful attack of the dark goblins, and they bravely charged to everyone's position.

Gabriel immediately said: "It's a cultist!"

Sariel took a look and said: "Their souls and spirits have been completely eroded. This is a group of irrational monsters!"

Don't wait for others to make a move.

Yu Xiao released the flying sword and quickly completed the harvest.

[You killed the "Distorted Black Priest", experience +14000, gold coins +30000, you got the "Black Priest Robe"! 】

[You killed the "Distorted Black Priest", experience +23000, gold coins +42000, you got the "Black Priest Necklace"! 】

【…】

what happened?

Yu Xiao was puzzled.

This is completely different from the imagined situation.

"Some kind of mutation must have occurred here." The dark goblin Tavis said: "However, there are many members of the Truth Church. I think there should be survivors, and they have moved to other areas of this cave with a high probability."

Yu Xiao nodded: "Find it out!"

Now in this situation.

If you still want to find out the truth of the matter.

Then we must find sober members of Shinrikyo.

Yu Xiao then led the team to the depths of the Black Crystal Cave.

Along the way, he encountered several waves of completely crazy and deformed believers.

Although the strength of these deformed believers is not bad, facing the dozens of troops led by Yu Xiao, it can be said that there is no room for resistance, and they are easily eliminated.

Just at this time.

Through the detection of the dark golden magic pupil, Yu Xiao found that there are a large number of defensive barriers near a canyon in front, which should be left by the retreating Shinrikyo believers, so he led the team to walk in this direction.

Just when everyone was approaching the canyon.

A team of at least a hundred people appeared in front of them, everyone was ready to fight, and the leader was a blond girl.

[The acting leader of the Black Truth Church: Helena], level 20... Introduction: Although the acting leader of the Black Truth Church is very young, his strength should not be underestimated.

"stop!"

"Prohibition is one step ahead!"

Helena said solemnly, "Or die!"

Gabriel dismissed this threat, and directly summoned a Spear of Judgment, throwing it towards the opponent's location.

boom!
The Spear of Judgment was blocked by a barrier!
The violent energy bursts out with intense light and heat!

Yu Xiao knew very well how powerful Gabriel's Spear of Judgment was, and it was generally not inferior to the attack of his own giant sword spirit. However, such a powerful attack did not break through the barrier.

It can only be said that the defense of this place is very ingenious.

When the enchantment was attacked, the enchantment dispersed the energy through the terrain of the whirlpool mountain range.

Gabriel frowned slightly.

Getting ready to do it again.

Yu Xiao said: "Don't do anything yet!"

Although members of the Black Truth Cult including Helena were marked with red signals on the map, he realized that he could not act recklessly and had to figure out the situation.

Not to say.

This person can pose a threat.

The main thing is that this mission seems to have a big problem.

Yu Xiao stood up and said, "You are Helena, the leader of the Black Truth Sect!"

Helena frowned: "Who are you?"

Yu Xiao replied: "I'm a catacomb investigator, and I came here specifically to investigate the ancient gods in the Luonan area. I want to know what happened in this place."

Everyone else paled slightly.

Before this, Yu Xiao had never revealed the purpose of going to the Luonan area, and this was the first time that he had spoken publicly.

Helena's complexion changed drastically: "What did you say?"

Yu Xiaodao: "Our organization has received important information and detected many anomalies. At present, it is preliminarily judged that an ancient god who has been sleeping for many years in the Luonan area is waking up."

"The power of this ancient god is very powerful. Once it wakes up, not only will the entire Luonan be completely destroyed, but other nearby cave areas and dungeons will also be threatened."

"Organizationally there is a lot of focus on this matter."

"Specially sent me to investigate."

Yu Xiao observed Helena's expression and continued: "I want to know whether the Truth Cult is related to the awakening of the ancient gods, and whether you are offering sacrifices and worshiping the ancient gods!"

Without waiting for Helena to answer.

A high priest beside her laughed.

Yu Xiao asked: "What are you laughing at?"

The high priest said: "Of course I am laughing at you for being blind. The Black Truth has been working hard to prevent the awakening of the ancient gods. On the contrary, some people in Luonan City covet the power of the ancient gods."

The other priests were also outraged.

"That's right!"

"Without us!"

"This ancient god has already woken up!"

"The city lord of Luo Nan is the black hand behind all this!"

"We have paid a huge price to stop this!"

"..."

Hear what these people have to say.

Coker was furious and said: "Nonsense! The words of these thugs are unscientific! How could the city lord let the ancient gods be born and destroy Luonan?"

"I have my own judgment!" Yu Xiao looked at Helena again, "My mission here this time is to prevent the ancient god from awakening. If what you said is true, please open the defense and let me in."

"Master!"

"Don't listen to him!"

"This guy is a running dog of Luo Nan City!"

"He must be trying to trick us into opening our defenses!"

Helena hesitated.

She obviously didn't believe Yu Xiao.

But he was a little uncertain about his identity and position.

Coker said to Yu Xiao at this time: "Master Investigator, why should we waste time, these cultists have done a lot of evil in Luonan, even if someone in Luonan is really colluding with the evil god, it can only be these guys."

Gabriel nodded: "I think what Captain Coker said makes sense. From the power they use, it can be seen that they must have had contact with the ancient gods, otherwise how could they be polluted."

Yu Xiao still didn't make a move.

He could see that although for some reason, there were problems within the Shinrikyo, resulting in the loss of a large number of manpower and a significant reduction in strength, the overall strength was still not weak.

This shelter was not built temporarily.

The defense in it is far stronger than imagined.

It is not an easy task for Yu Xiao to join forces with Gabriel and others to break through the defense line in front of them.

After thinking for a while, he said, "If Hierarch Helena has any doubts, maybe there is someone who can prove my identity."

between speeches.

Take out the summoning runestone.

In the next second, as the runestone was activated, a figure was teleported in front of him.

This is a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old, with golden hair, who appeared in the crowd with a blank face at this moment.

"Thorn!"

Helena recognized the blond youth.

This person is none other than her brother.

Thorne was also taken aback, "Why did I appear here, Mr. Investigator, what's going on?"

Yu Xiao told Thorne the situation.

Then let Thorn go to negotiate with Helena.

In order to represent sincerity, Yu Xiao took the others and temporarily exited the area, retreated outside the cave and waited.

About a quarter of an hour passed.

Thorn came out of the cave.

He obviously understood what happened: "Master Investigator, thank you for giving sister Helena the opportunity!"

Yu Xiao asked: "Can we go in?"

Thorn hesitated a little and said, "Sister Helena still doesn't trust other people, and only agrees to let the investigator enter alone."

Coker stopped immediately: "This is too dangerous!"

Gabriel also frowned: "I also don't think it's necessary to take risks. It's better to unite our forces to capture this place, so that no matter what secrets there are, the truth can be revealed."

"It's okay, even if there is a conspiracy, I can deal with it!"

Yu Xiao had a calm face and was very confident in her own strength.

Even if it was a trap, it was impossible for Helena and the others to pose a threat to him.

If they could take this opportunity to enter the canyon refuge, it would be much easier to break down their defenses from the inside with the ring of evil gods in their hands than from the outside.

Once hit.

You can cooperate with the inside and outside.

Taking this place shouldn't be difficult.

After Yu Xiao made the arrangements, he asked the others to stay outside to wait for orders, and then followed Thorne into it. Soon after, he passed through the barrier smoothly and finally met the acting leader Helena.

not difficult to see.

Priests of the church including Helena.

At this moment, Yu Xiao is full of vigilance and vigilance.

Yu Xiao didn't trust this: "Okay, please tell me in detail next, the relationship between your Black Truth Sect, or the relationship between Merlin and the ancient god of Luo Nan!"

Helena said: "Merlin is the founder of our Black Truth Sect. I think it should be easy to find out with your identity and means."

Yu Xiao nodded.

Helena continued: "Mr. Merlin did not leave Luo Nan. In order to stabilize the sleeping ancient god, he personally entered the sealed cave to sit in command."

Yu Xiao was slightly stunned: "You mean, instead of releasing the ancient god, Merlin is maintaining the seal of the ancient god?"

"That's right! If there was no Mentor Merlin! The ancient gods would have awakened decades ago!" Helena said with a solemn expression: "But now the situation has changed! If you really want to save Luo Nan! One thing must be done!"

"what?"

"Kill Mentor Merlin!"

Yu Xiao was taken aback: "What did you say?"

Helena said with a serious face: "He has been corrupted by the power of the ancient god!"
