Chapter 240: Chapter 159: Siege Battle, the Strange Winged Statue_2
Chichi!
Using rune gemstones and magic, Sherman and Cole effortlessly subdued hundreds of eye demons.
In contrast, the eye demons’ rays aimed at them couldn’t penetrate the four-fold defense consisting of magic pattern armor, protective rings, shield skill, and energy particle barriers.
Shortly, the ground was littered with dozens of eye demon corpses.
At the same time
As two Wizard Apprentices, knight guards, and numerous legendary puppets joined the battlefield, the balance of victory began to tilt toward the attackers.
Giant Eye City’s defensive line retreated step by step, quickly reaching the city’s center.
“Zhee!”
A piercing shriek suddenly erupted from the enemy’s rear.
In an instant, Sherman and Cole felt a moment of dizziness.
But quickly, a sharp voice rang out, jolting them awake.
Sherman instantly regained awareness, eyes cautiously scanning the distance, spotting amidst the dense crowd of eye demons, a unique eye demon floating above with a relatively small size, but with a body connected to hundreds of tentacles—far exceeding the usual count for ordinary eye demons.
The ends of its tentacles connected to eyeballs, all colored a bizarre purple-black.
Locking eyes with those eyeballs, Sherman instantly felt a bit dizzy, hurriedly averting his gaze.
Illusion Technique!
It’s the Nest Mother Eye!
Sherman and Cole quickly realized, hearts tightening.
Beside the Nest Mother Eye were four noticeably larger mutated eye demons.
Aside from eyeballs, their tentacles were also covered with sharp claws, their movements creating sharp tearing sounds through the air.
Additionally, these mutated eye demons rode on monstrous bugs.
“It’s the Director Eye!” Cole said sternly.
Sherman nodded gravely.
He had seen descriptions of the Director Eye’s appearance in books, matching exactly the mutated form of the eye demons before them.
Director Eyes typically appear among eye demons governed by Nest Mother Eye or Warlord Eye and are common mutated eye demons.
Their rays aren’t stronger than ordinary eye demons’, but their close combat abilities far exceed typical eye demons. Skilled at charging deep within enemy lines while riding monstrous bugs and unleashing carnage.
They are among the few melee-oriented eye demons!
Currently, four Director Eyes frantically waved their clawed tentacles, attempting to block the approaching streak of blood.
That blood streak turned out to be the Blood Widow!
A dazzling vampiress wrapped in a dense blood mist of unknown origin, exuding a sinister, cold aura.
With each hand raise, blood mist surged to her palm’s front, forming a blood-red spear, tearing through the air towards the Nest Mother Eye.
The four Director Eyes struggled to fend off her assaults with all their might.
“Zee zee!”
Threatened, the Nest Mother Eye shrieked sharply.
With its echoed wails, nearby eye demons’ aggression intensified, firing continuous rays of gray light, striking the blood mist around the Blood Widow.
The blood mist visibly dimmed at an astonishing speed.
“Annoying beasts!”
The Blood Widow sneered coldly.
Suddenly halting, she supported her right hand in the air, eyes blazing with crimson radiance.
Instantly, the surrounding eye demons encircling her emitted simultaneous screams, countless blood beads oozing from their bodies, spiraling towards her hand to form a blood ball!
Those eye demons drained of blood became shriveled corpses, collapsing to the ground.
Soon after, the blood ball in the Blood Widow’s hand rapidly morphed into a deeper crimson blood spear. With a flick of her wrist, it hurled through the void like lightning, impaling a Director Eye to the ground!
The impaled Director Eye convulsed like being electrocuted, then fell silent.
After executing this attack, the Blood Widow’s face paled considerably, evident that the maneuver took a substantial toll on her.
Nearby eye demons seized the chance to attack the Blood Widow, but unexpectedly, a sudden rumble sounded—an observable distortion descended upon the horde, then explosively fragmented them, instantly shredding dozens into specks.
Shattering Sound Wave!
Bang!
A Refined Gold Golem charged into the eye demon horde, unleashing a blood-drenched onslaught, blasting eye demons into blood mist, advancing quickly within ten meters of the Nest Mother Eye.
The remaining three Director Eyes attempted to block but were effortlessly ripped to shreds by the Golem.
Finally, the Nest Mother’s Eye was punched into pulp!
Watching this scene, the Red Widow couldn’t help but click her tongue in amazement.
Each Director’s Eye possessed the power of a Tier One Legend, surrounded by hundreds of Beholder guards. She had struggled to take down one Director’s Eye, but the Refined Gold Golem effortlessly broke through the heavy guards, as easily as chopping vegetables, killing the Nest Mother’s Eye and three Director’s Eyes!
This power is truly terrifying!
“This is the strength of a Tier Three Legendary Puppet.”
The Red Widow was in awe, and her respect for Sunan, who could forge such a powerful puppet, grew even more.
With the death of the Nest Mother’s Eye and the Director’s Eyes, the Beholders soon fell into chaos, fleeing in all directions.
Unfortunately, the Giant Eye City was already heavily surrounded by puppets.
Outside, the puppets blocked their path, while inside, Wizard Apprentices and Demon Pattern Knights hunted them down. The fate of these Beholders was already sealed.
More than an hour later, the sounds of battle gradually faded within Giant Eye City.
Nearly all Beholders were wiped out, and the few survivors were captured by Demon Pattern Knights, imprisoned, and transported back to Ghost Lake City by the golems, intended to be used as experimental materials for the base in the future.
The remaining slaves were imprisoned as well, kept for future labor, responsible for repairing Giant Eye City and mining.
After hastily arranging everything, leaving the knight guard to watch the captives, Red Widow, Sherman, and Cole quickly headed to the Nest Mother’s Eye’s lair.
Upon entering the lair, the three of them headed straight for the warehouse.
When they opened the warehouse, seeing the silver ingots piled up like mountains inside, smiles appeared on all their faces.
“These big-eyed creatures sure have a wealthy fortune,” Sherman laughed.
“After all, they controlled a silver mine.”
Cole’s eyes darted around the warehouse, soon finding a box amid the clutter. Upon opening it, his eyes lit up immediately.
“Mithril!”
Inside the box lay a piece of mithril.
Cole picked it up and weighed it, his smile growing.
“At least three kilograms.”
Sherman and Red Widow were also full of joy.
Before attacking Giant Eye City, Sunan had ordered that after taking the city, they must search for mithril first.
With this piece of mithril, the Master will certainly be very pleased.
After securing the items in the warehouse, the three of them began searching the entire lair.
Moments later, at Sherman’s call, the three gathered again in a spacious cave.
In the center of the cave stood a statue.
The statue’s appearance was extremely bizarre, resembling countless wings clustered together, with a long tail extending from the middle, dragging behind.
“What creature is this?”
Sherman and Cole simultaneously looked at Red Widow.
In terms of underground world creatures, Red Widow’s knowledge was far broader than theirs.
The female vampire pondered for a moment, then shook her head, saying, “I’ve never seen such a creature, nor do I recognize it.”
On hearing this, Cole frowned, scrutinizing the situation in the cave with doubt.
“Speaking of which, why would the Beholders place such a statue in this cave, and why is such a large space occupied by only one statue?”
Sherman surveyed the area momentarily; suddenly, a realization struck him, and he blurted out:
“Worship!”
Seeing Cole and Red Widow cast perplexed glances at him, Sherman quickly explained:
“Do you think this place could be where the Beholders worship?”
“And this statue is whom the Beholders worship.”
Cole and Red Widow were taken aback but considered the possibility that Sherman might be right.
This spacious cave indeed resembles a worship hall.
It’s just never heard that Beholders have a habit of faith.
They pondered for a moment but found no answers; Cole decided not to dwell on it, solemnly saying, “Let’s take the statue back to the Master.”
Sherman and Red Widow had no objections.
Summoning the golems to move the statue, the three of them subsequently left the lair.
The cave where the Beholders lived was spacious enough but the hygiene conditions were beyond words.
After staying inside for a while, all three felt somewhat intolerable.
