Chapter 831 The Sudden Attack

In the underground city,

The monsters, having lost their target, lingered in place for a moment, letting out roars of resentment.

Ultimately, they continued to follow that invisible guidance, rushing upwards as if that were their true destination.

Meanwhile, Li Si and the others lurked in the shadows, heading towards the direction from which the monsters were surging.

"Is it because those evil god followers haven't noticed us, or are they too weak to face us directly?"

"Or do you not believe that there are evil god followers causing trouble, as we suspect?"

Uller said softly.

This was also part of Li Si's plan.

They could have quietly infiltrated the underground city without making such a fuss.

However, after discussing it, Li Si and the others decided to take the initiative to attack the underground city first.

If there really is a mastermind behind this, they wouldn't just stand by and watch Li Si and the others enter the underground city.

But now it seems that the plan has fallen through.

Upon hearing what Uller said, Li Si nodded slightly without saying anything more.

He wasn't actually surprised by this outcome.

The others did not respond, seemingly focused on their surroundings.

The walls on both sides of the underground passage flickered with an eerie and faint light, as if the eyes of some unknown creature were watching everything.

Countless magical beasts of various shapes surged forward, roaring and crowding in front of them like a tidal wave.

These monsters were enormous, some with sharp fangs, some with long tails, and others exuding a chilling aura.

Surprisingly, none of the magical beasts discovered where Li Si and his companions were hiding.

They were like a group of ghosts lurking in the darkness, cleverly using the surrounding environment and shadow magic to hide their whereabouts without a trace.

Thanks to the "guidance" of this group of magical beasts, Li Si and the others did not need to waste a single moment searching for directions.

They closely followed the path of the monster horde, skillfully avoiding various dangers.

And so, they arrived directly and smoothly at the depths of the underground city.

The light here was even dimmer, almost pitch black, and the air was filled with a putrid and stale smell.

Upon entering the underground city, Li Si and his companions descended along the passageway, but after an unknown amount of time, they still hadn't found the source of the monsters.

At this moment, Li Si and the others arrived at a corner of the underground city passage to temporarily adjust their condition.

Li Si prepared a new shadow spell, applying a new shadow stealth status to the group.

The others did not stand idly by either; they all made preparations, carefully setting up all sorts of magical restrictions and magical items.

Among these, some are magical beacons that serve as guides, some are communication channels connecting to the outside world, and some are magical arrays that conceal one's presence.
The individuals present were all legendary mages, so their actions were naturally extraordinary.

Many of them were unique methods used by various legendary councilors, and Li Si couldn't help but take a few more glances at them.

This time, venturing deep into the underground city, in addition to the monsters, we may also face attacks from cultists of evil gods.

Uller and the others were naturally fully prepared.

These temporary locations were set up by Uller and his companions every so often they ventured a certain distance into the underground city.

Li Si didn't interfere with these matters; he only needed to cast shadow spells on the group to shield them from the magical beasts' senses.

"We've already ventured quite a distance into the underground city, but haven't found anything yet."

Uller shook his head and looked at the horde of monsters in front of him.

"That's how dungeons are; who knows what problems might arise?"

Li Si said with a smile:

"In this interconnected underground city, no one knows what they might encounter next."

"Just like when I went deep into the dungeon before, I didn't encounter any monsters at all, but when I came out, I found that so many monsters had appeared out of the dungeon."

"That's true, it's good that it was resolved sooner!"

Uller nodded, a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

After a brief rest, the group continued their exploration deeper into the underground city.

The deeper you go into the underground city, the more bizarre and harsh the surrounding environment becomes.

Li Si could even sense the faint abyssal power surrounding the air, and the fungi and moss in the underground passages even showed some abyssal-like characteristics under this environment.

"Let's set up our new base right here!"

Uller stopped and pointed to a hollow not far away.

This is a turning point in the underground passage.

The other direction was the passage the monsters had passed through, while this place was a fork in the road with no trace of monsters passing by.

Fortunately, the passage was quite spacious, with several protruding rocks dividing it into a sizable area.

"Row."

Li Si glanced at it, nodded, and said.

Then the others, just like before, went on to set up various methods.

Uller stayed by Li Si's side, exchanging observations about the abyssal beasts:
"Lord Li Si, how exactly were those magical beasts created?"

Uller pointed to the abyssal monsters not far away, each with a different shape than the common monsters.

"You can see some characteristics of dungeon monsters in these monsters, but they seem to be more twisted and chaotic."

Uller said after careful consideration:

"It's like combining the characteristics of several magical beasts together."

"They were probably specially trained by those followers of evil gods."

Li Si nodded, pondered for a moment, and then said:
"It might even be the work of those Abyss Lords; its power is indeed a bit too great."

Although these abyssal monsters are not a big problem for Li Si, let alone a monster horde, even just one of them would be a big problem for an ordinary extraordinary professional.

To this end, the association even had to use powerful magic crystal cannons to suppress the beast tide.

"It must be because he gave up his inherent wisdom and lifespan that he has such power."

"Aside from actively attacking any intelligent life that appears in front of them, I haven't observed any other behavior from these magical beasts."

"Ah."

Li Si nodded, but his gaze swept over the other legendary mages who were setting up magical restrictions and props, his eyes looking far into the distance.

After a while, everyone was ready.

"In that case, let's continue on our journey."

Uller looked around at everyone and then continued.

Immediately, Li Si prepared to use a shadow spell to conceal everyone's whereabouts once again. Just as Li Si was about to cast the spell, a sudden turn of events disrupted his plans.

Ullr, standing not far away, quietly lit up the staff in his hand.

The light was like a shooting star suddenly bursting forth in the night sky, dazzling and brilliant.

Immediately afterwards, an extremely powerful mental shock surged out from the tip of the staff, instantly transforming into an incomparably sharp arrow, which rushed towards Li Lisi with a whistling sound.

The power contained in this spiritual impact seemed capable of penetrating everything, tearing apart any soul, and inspiring awe.

At the same time, several legendary mages who had been standing quietly nearby also attacked Li Si directly.

They coordinated perfectly, each unleashing their most proficient spells to launch a fierce attack on Li.

Natalie, the Ice Queen, muttered incantations and rapidly formed hand seals.

Then, a terrifying icy prison appeared out of nowhere.

The icy cage emanated a bone-chilling cold, instantly sealing Li Lisi tightly within it and restricting his movements.

Li Si tried to break free, but found that the ice was incredibly solid, only trembling slightly under Li Si's immense strength.

A hazy light emanated from Trevor's hand, the "decoder."

The radiance, like a ghost, slowly spread toward Li Si.

Wherever he went, cracks began to appear in the magical shield around Li Si's body, as if it were being eroded little by little by an invisible hand.

The light of the magic shield gradually dimmed, and Li Si could clearly feel that the magic defense that had been solidified around his body was being disintegrated little by little.

The other legendary mages present also launched an attack on Li Si.

And in that instant, a powerful barrier composed of various magical restrictions and magical artifacts appeared in this space.

This barrier was like a giant cage, trapping Li Si inside.

The barrier shimmered with various mysterious runes and emitted powerful magical fluctuations, inspiring awe in all who beheld it.

Li Si felt the surrounding space freeze completely in an instant, as if time had stopped flowing.

He tried to sense the fluctuations in the surrounding space, but found that there was absolutely no movement, as if he were in an absolutely still world.

At the same time, his body felt as if it were under immense pressure, as if an invisible mountain was pressing down on him.

Even with his formidable physique, every step he took felt incredibly strenuous.

Every step seemed to require the utmost effort.

In addition, other powerful restrictions fell on Li Si like a tidal wave.

Some restrictions disrupted the flow of magic within his body, while others directly attacked his mental world, attempting to disrupt his thinking.
Faced with these attacks, Li Si stood quietly in place, showing no surprise whatsoever.

His eyes were deep and calm, as if none of the world's disturbances could shake him in the slightest.

The mental blades that attacked him seemed to slice through the air, emitting a sharp whistling sound.

However, Li Si's expression remained unchanged in the face of this menacing spiritual weapon.

His gaze remained calm, as if he had already seen through everything.

Just as the power of that mental blade invaded his mind like a surging tide, attempting to disrupt his mind, it seemed to have crashed into an indestructible wall.

The powerful impact shattered like a bubble the moment it touched Li Si's mind, turning into fragments of his spirit that vanished without a trace.

In that breathtaking moment, the ordinary-looking staff in Li Si's hand suddenly burst forth with dazzling light.

Within the light, the staff began to undergo wondrous changes, its shape gradually twisting and stretching, eventually transforming into a longbow burning with golden flames.

This longbow is exquisitely designed, with mysterious runes carved on its body. Golden flames leap among the runes, radiating a scorching and powerful aura.

As the longbow appeared, the icy cage that had been firmly imprisoning Li Si began to show signs of abnormality.

The icy cage was formed from powerful magical energy, seemingly capable of freezing everything.

But under the light of the golden, blazing longbow, the icy prison began to melt rapidly, like snow meeting the scorching sun.

Fine cracks appeared on the ice, and the cracks continued to widen until the entire ice cage completely melted away, turning into a pool of ice water that spilled onto the ground.

At the same time, an extremely dense emerald green domain quietly unfolded around Li Si's body.

This verdant area is like a vibrant forest, exuding a fresh yet powerful aura.

Within the realm, verdant light flowed, seemingly containing boundless vitality.

All kinds of attacks and restrictions, once they come into contact with this verdant domain, are like mud oxen sinking into the sea, directly blocked.

Li Si held the Eclipse Longbow, which had been conjured from the magic ring, and looked at Ullr, saying:
"I thought you guys would wait a little longer, but you couldn't resist anymore?"

Uller and the others were preparing to continue their attack when they heard Li Si's words, and the spells they were about to cast involuntarily paused for a moment.

what's the situation?
Did Li Si know we were going to attack him?

Why did he come here?

For some reason, Uller couldn't help but feel a moment of panic.

However, considering the preparations he and his backers had made for this situation, he quickly composed himself and said:
"Lord Li Si, I didn't expect you to be able to react."

"But your choice to come here with us has sealed your fate."

In fact, during his time at the Pan-Continental Mage Association, Li Si would occasionally take the initiative to exchange ideas with some of the association's legendary councilors.

Although it is unknown why Li Si was so devoted to this matter, many people did not refuse.

After all, as the disciple of the Third Speaker and a chosen one of the World Tree, others were also very curious about Li Si's strength.

The association's legendary councilors vary in strength, but each time Li Si sparred with them, he displayed different levels of skill.

Most importantly, sometimes Li Si didn't even use magic; instead, he fought like a warrior or assassin.

Other professional skills appear even more frequently.

Within the Pan-Continental Mage Association, there are individuals who simultaneously pursue different extraordinary paths.

But there was no one else like Li Si who had explored almost every possible path.

Even if one starts cultivating from the womb, how could they learn so many abilities?

Moreover, even the legendary councilors could see that what Li Si was using was not just for show, but was genuinely capable of defeating enemies of the same level.

This also shocked the association's legendary members, some of whom were minor figures like Li Si.

Therefore, some people believe that Li Si is very likely to become the fourth Speaker of the Association in the future.

Uller didn't care whether he was the Speaker or not.

However, the strength that Li Si displayed was indeed terrifying.

Even the leader of the Cocoon of Lies didn't put this much pressure on him.

However, the stronger Li Si is, the greater the benefits he will receive for completing the mission!

Uller couldn't believe that six legendary mages were involved in his plan!
There are also backup plans prepared in advance in the dungeon.

Uller refused to believe that he couldn't defeat Li Si, who was fighting alone!
