Infinity: Our Zhongzhou team is really amazing!

Chapter 285: The Extermination Team is officially established

He saw himself.

Gunnier felt his neck was being strangled tightly. He opened his mouth to shout, but felt a cold hand grabbing his chin and palate, and no sound came out.

At the same time, a cold and damp breath crept up his back.

The sticky feeling was like the water plants in the river entangled with it.

will die!

If he sees you, you'll die!
Gunnier's eyes were red and his face was bloodshot. Under the pressure of death, he opened the second-level gene lock again.

Even going one step further than the second-order gene lock and approaching the third-order gene lock, a pure mental power continued to spread in his brain.

The power of the gene lock was revealed again. As his mental strength increased rapidly, the cold and drowning feeling subsided again, and his brain regained its composure.

"Ahh." Gunnier gasped for breath, as if he had just escaped from suffocating ice water.

But his high-speed brain allowed him to remain calm even after being attacked.

Legolas pinned him to the ground, drew his bow, and said to him coldly, "What did you see? Is there anything unusual?"

"there!"

"He's over there!"

Gunnir pointed tremblingly down the mountain and looked back again.

At this moment, the forest was empty and there was nothing unusual.

Even on the entire bare hillside, there was nothing.

"I saw it clearly!" Gunnier said palely.

"Gunnier" Neos put his arm around Gunnier's shoulders and whispered in his ear, "If you want to survive in unsolved supernatural horror movies, you must curb your curiosity."

"I guess your team hasn't experienced many supernatural horror movies, so you are so reckless."

"Remember, stay restrained and reduce your curiosity. This will increase your chances of survival and prevent you from killing your teammates."

Neos was right. The North Ice Team had never experienced any unsolvable supernatural horror movies, so Gunnier had no experience in dealing with such things.

Gunnir said with a grim expression: "But."

The Lord of the Rings is clearly a fantasy world, how did it become a horror world?
Legolas put away his bow and arrows and warned coldly: "No matter what you see or hear in the Misty Mountains."

"Don't respond."

"Don't be curious."

"Otherwise, I will kill you before you kill anyone else."

As he spoke, he sneered, like a devil.

"Dark Ghost Diluk is just one of them."

"There are many monsters more terrifying than this one."

Gunnir clenched his fists and said in a deep voice, "I understand."

Neos sensed Gunnir's anger and consoled him, "We must persevere and survive. As long as we're alive, there's still hope of reviving our teammates."

Gunnir forced himself to suppress the fire in his heart. Since coming to this world, his teammates were wiped out and he suffered repeated setbacks. He wished he could die together with these monsters.

If he hadn't held onto the hope of reviving his teammates, he would have fought the monster long ago.

Fortunately, the journey was relatively peaceful. Although I saw many strange things that could not be explained in words, I managed to escape everything safely.

As the sun set, the five people finally arrived at the gate of Moria.

There were dozens of corpses burnt into charcoal, kneeling on the ground, maintaining a posture of worship towards the cave entrance.

A gust of wind blew out of the dark cave, carrying with it a hot breath like magma.

The whole scene was like a sacrificial ceremony, which was really too weird.

"Humans?" Neos couldn't help but cover his nose as he couldn't stand the scorching, fishy air. "Why are there still humans here?"

These were the first humans they saw after entering this world, although they had already been burnt into charcoal.

"Some heretics," Legolas said with disgust. "Those humans who still survive in Rohan and Gondor have completely abandoned the Valar and thrown themselves into the arms of the evil gods."

"Among them is the Bloodfire Cult, which worships the Balrog. They would pour kerosene on themselves and their loved ones, and from there, they would cross the blockade of the Bone Knights and the Army of the Dead, across the Rotten Swamp and the Monster Forest, and use all means to reach Moria."

"And then burn yourself alive here."

"They came here just to commit suicide?!" Hoffer was very puzzled and shocked.

Legolas said with disgust, "The purpose of the Blood and Fire Cult is to endure countless calamities and burn the fragile flesh with flames."

"Intended to die and be reborn as a Balrog beneath Moria."

It was really crazy, Neos even saw the charred body of a child who was only two or three years old.

"What a bunch of lunatics! Their brains are completely broken. They actually believe such nonsense." Gunniel's eyes were cold.

He knew that the Balrog was a Maia, a lesser god in the world of Arda, so how could he be transformed with just a ritual!

"Although they are evil and corrupt and have abandoned their human identity, they are not crazy." Legolas said calmly.

"After the ritual is completed, these dead will indeed be resurrected from the magma beneath the ground as fire demons."

Ok? !

Everyone looked at Legolas in disbelief.

"By praying to the evil god, even the weakest mortal can easily gain supreme power."

"So, this is the fundamental reason why the light has weakened to the point of being extinct, isn't it?" Legolas said in a very calm tone.

When he said this, it was as if he was stating a fact that he had already known. A deep sense of helplessness and sadness, yet despair that was powerless to change, quietly spread in this calmness.

"How could this be?" Gunnier's face turned pale. He looked back at the land at the entrance of the cave. There were only a dozen charred corpses and layers of charred substance on the ground.

An extremely absurd idea came to my mind.

If the transformation could be so simple, how many Balrogs would there be in Moria after all these years!

"Is there any living person alive here?" Hoffer said in despair.

"Legolas, are you sure your companion hasn't fallen as well?"

Legolas glared coldly, "Dwarves are the kings of the caves. Moria is a masterpiece the Dwarves have meticulously crafted over thousands of years. Even a Balrog could not possibly understand the underground tunnels as well as the Dwarves do."

Boom!
Like the sound of metal falling to the ground.

Neos and his companions became nervous instantly and took out their weapons and aimed them at the cave entrance.

Legolas also narrowed his eyes and grabbed the longbow.

As the sound of metal clashing got closer and closer, in the dim sunset.

A dwarf man, whose right arm and legs were made entirely of metal prosthetics, walked out of the darkness.

Whoosh, a big axe flew through the air.

boom!
Hoffer was knocked to the ground by the huge axe and couldn't get up for a long time.

Gunnir quickly stabbed the opponent with two ice spikes, and the high-speed rotating ice spikes bounced the dwarf to the ground.

He looked at Legolas and said coldly, "What do you mean?"

"It's his habit to confirm whether we are monsters in disguise." Legolas grinned, and the scars on his face seemed to relax a lot.

He walked forward and pulled the dwarf up.

"Gimli, it's great to see you're still alive." Legolas smiled sincerely for the first time.

"Legolas, you are late." The dwarf muttered and climbed to his feet.

He touched the armor on his chest that was pierced by the ice spike, and a trace of anger flashed across his face, but he suppressed it.

He looked at Gunnier and the others and asked bluntly, "Are these stupid humans the ones you brought this time?"

"They can be considered as companions. After all, there are not many normal humans in this world." Legolas said helplessly.

Neos looked at the dwarf carefully. In the original book, Gimli was the dwarf who formed the core of the Fellowship of the Ring with Legolas and Aragorn.

Now he looks miserable with broken arms and legs, and can only move around by relying on metal prosthetic limbs made by the dwarves.

Gunnir was obviously not so good-tempered. He said in a cold tone: "Dwarf, if you do it again, my icicles will pierce your head!"

"Hey!" Jinli knocked on his broken breastplate and said provocatively, "Mage, my axe will only go towards your head."

"Stop, Gimli." Legolas patted Gimli's tangled hair. "You have been affected by this place. This is not a good trend."

Gungnir was also startled. He had just been overcome by a sudden surge of inexplicable rage, desperate to kill the impertinent dwarf. Legolas explained, "This is the Blood God's domain. The Balrogs are his minions. Every normal creature that enters here will, over time, become violent, irritable, and murderous."

"This kind of influence on the mind requires a strong will to suppress."

"Jinli has been lurking here for a year."

Gunnir looked at the dwarf in surprise. Being able to survive in such a hellish place for five years was really extraordinary in some sense.

Jin Li said in a muffled voice, "I've lived here for a year, and every day I could be killed by the Balrog or some other monster."

"By Durin, I am alive. I know the way to go much better than those Balrogs underground."

Neos glanced at Xue Ling'er, who was still autistic. If she could turn on the mental scan, perhaps she wouldn't have to rely entirely on Jin Li's experience.

unfortunately
Hoffer rubbed his chest and said cautiously, "Are we just going in like this?"

His voice was a little shaky, and standing here now made him feel a bit caught in a dilemma.

Going in, there was no telling how many terrifying fire demons were waiting for them in the dark mine.

As the sun sets, the misty mountains become a paradise for ghosts.

Jin Li saw his fear and sneered, "Coward, it's not the time yet. Wait until night."

"Why?" Neos looked at the pale sun in the sky.

It might take more than an hour before the sun sets.

A group of six people hiding at the entrance of the cave would make them too conspicuous and would likely be targeted by some passing monster.

And now that they have arrived here, no matter how many fire demons are in front of them, they can only grit their teeth and rush in.

Nan Yan and Bei Bing no longer have any way out. Their only choice is to be killed by monsters or wiped out by the Lord God.

Gimli sat down on the ground and adjusted his armor. "Only after nightfall will the terrifying monsters in the Misty Mountains come out. However, the extremely low temperature will make the Balrog disgusted by this environment."

"They will instinctively return to the magma underground."

"Of course, there's also the possibility that some scattered fire demons can't sleep and are wandering around in the mines."

Hoffer's face was pale, and he was obviously frightened again.

Wandering Fire Demon.
Neos looked at the Misty Mountains, which had begun to fog up.

He still thought the Misty Mountains were more dangerous at night.

At least, no matter how terrifying the Fire Demon is, it is just a Fire Demon.

As the sun gradually set, thick fog gradually spread.

The misty fog kept moving in the mountains, as if it was moved by something in it, making the surroundings hazy.

"Aren't we going to light a bonfire?" Hoffer said as he moved closer to Gunnier, his throat rolling.

The strongest member of this team is undoubtedly Gunnir, who has opened the second-level gene lock and has double B-level enhancement.

Although Hoffer opened the second-level gene lock, his strength and fighting spirit were really disappointing.

Legolas' scarred face showed a mocking smile: "If you don't want to die, don't make any noise and attract those monsters."

"The Misty Mountains are much more terrifying at night than during the day."

Ever since what happened during the day, Gunnier has been feeling dazed and uneasy.

He seemed to feel that there was something watching him in the fog around him.

But after he opened the gene lock, he found that it was an illusion.

This illusion of a cold feeling on his back made him a little nervous.

"Gunnier." Neos reminded softly, waking Gunnier up.

"What?" Gunnier asked in confusion.

Neos handed him a rune-drawn talisman and gently patted his shoulder. "This is the talisman we obtained in the reincarnation world."

"It has a certain resistance to negative energy monsters like ghosts and demons."

"Once you encounter those things, the talisman will burn. As long as the talisman is not completely burned out, you are generally safe."

Gunnier took the talisman in his hand, and immediately the feeling of being spied on disappeared.

He felt much more awake and quickly thanked her, "Thank you, I'm much better now."

Neos sighed softly, "It's a pity that I didn't prepare more tools to deal with demons and ghosts."

"Otherwise we wouldn't be so passive."

Gunnir also sighed.

After all, everyone knew in advance that the next world would be the Lord of the Rings, so they wouldn't prepare too many expensive supernatural props.

Unexpectedly, the Lord God did not play by the rules. I didn’t see the ring, but I saw a lot of various monsters.

“This is the first time such a situation has occurred. We have never encountered it before.”

Neos understood what Gunnir meant.

It is impossible for a world to shift too much, but this time the Lord God really harmed them all.

He already had the answer in his mind; the root of the problem lay with the Zhongzhou team.

Are only the strongest teams qualified to deal with this mutated world?
"Legolas, are we the only ones left?" Hofer asked cautiously.

Legolas nodded and said, "Indeed, we will have no more help and support from now on."

"Even normal humans wouldn't see a few of them."

"Now, in this world, there are only a few of us who can complete the task of destroying the ring."

"Are these the only few people in the Fellowship of the Ring?" he whispered.

Jin Li heard this and said dissatisfiedly: "Protecting the Rings? What kind of protecting the rings is this? They should be called the Ring Destroying Squad!"

"Our feat will surely be sung by the bards."

Jin Li's optimistic words made Hoffer lower his head in even greater despair.

He accidentally glanced at the task prompt on the Lord God's Watch. Now, there was less than an hour before the Zhongzhou team arrived.

Can they hold on?
Moreover, is the Zhongzhou team really here to rescue them instead of killing them?

Just as he was daydreaming, the talisman in his arms emitted bursts of heat.

Gunnir stood up suddenly and looked behind him.

He seemed to see someone standing in the thick fog.

Wuwuwu——

A biting cold wind blew over, like a complaint and a cry, making people's hair stand on end, but it blew away some of the fog.

The talismans on Neos and Xue Ling'er began to burn fiercely.

Xue Ling'er suddenly raised her head, which had been lowered, and screamed in fear, "He's coming! He's coming!"

Neos looked up and saw a figure standing in the mist in front of him, who knew when it had appeared.

Half of the man's head was deflated and half of his body was covered in blood.

The right sleeve of his shirt was empty, swaying back and forth in the night wind.

One of his feet was on the ground, and the other foot disappeared from the thigh, and blood was dripping from it.

However, even if it only stood on one foot, it still stood very steadily.

"Damn it!" Legolas's face changed: "He's caught up with me after all!"

Jin Li quickly picked up the axe and said, "How did you get involved with this guy?"

"I finally found you." The pair of red eyes stared at them.

As he spoke, he moved his one leg, hopping towards the people.

Behind him, the surging gray fog followed closely behind him, like a sea wave, overturning towards the few people!

The talisman burned out instantly.

"Run!" Gunnier yelled and turned around quickly.

But I found that there was no one behind.

Neos and the others seemed to have never existed.
