“The centaurs don’t have any consciousness. Even if they can use magical abilities, they can’t use them now. So the key to defeating them is to break the tortoise shell on its body.” Qin Lun said after pondering for a while.

“Ferrari, do you have any ideas?” Milleras asked cautiously.

They had already tried quite a few methods in the previous battle, but none of them had much effect on the centaurs.

Actually, this was also the limitation of this team. Emily did not have any combat strength in the team, and the Dwarf Lorraine’s combat strength was not comparable to that of a First Grade Apostle. Milleras and Idrea had apostles that surpassed First Grade and were close to Second Grade. However, they were physics combat professions and were restrained by the centaurs.

Only Elistine, who was close to a high-level profession, could deal with the centaurs. Unfortunately, the elven druid was currently in a state of mental backlash, with eighty percent of its combat power gone, which was equivalent to half a cripple.

Although Qin Lun and Milleras were the only ones left, they were much better than before. Even though Qin Lun was only at the First Grade, his current skill system was already roughly mature. He had comprehended the Heart of Hunters from the Ancient Era’s Elven Inheritance, and his true combat strength surpassed that of ordinary Second Grade apostles.

The most rare thing was that Qin Lun was not the same as an ordinary Second Grade apostle. He had several high-level skills in his skill system, as well as physical strikes and spell damage. He had a strong explosive ability and could rely on two summoned beasts for continuous combat.

Thinking of this, Qin Lun nodded. “Before I turned around, I thought about the characteristics of this undead. The frost armor on its surface probably wasn’t formed naturally. Perhaps the Demigod Lich had planted some high-grade props in its body, such as high-quality cold-attribute crystals.”

“It’s not necessarily a cold-attribute gem. If you engrave frost runes in the body of the undead, you can also use other neutral energy stones to achieve this effect.” As his mood relaxed, Milleras’ nimble mind began to show. He turned his eyes and looked at the distant Hellfire Devil Dog. “Feral, don’t you want to … If that’s the case, then this two-headed dog won’t survive!”

“Haha, you underestimate Cyberlas too much!” Qin Lun pointed at the Hellfire Devil Hound and smiled. “Its growth potential is very high. Although it hasn’t reached the Advanced Stage yet, it already possesses all the characteristics of a meat shield. Its speed and strength may not be comparable to the Seventh Stage Dark Shadow Gale Leopard, nor is it able to use its innate magic, but its ability to survive is extremely terrifying!”

“Fire against frost is indeed worth looking forward to!” Milleras’ eyes lit up and he suddenly thought of something. He raised his eyebrows and said, “Feral, you must have already tested the corrosive power of the lava when you broke through the obsidian ceiling in the underground hall, right?”

“Of course! Although obsidian is very brittle, the location here is so important and secret, and the top has been reinforced. If it weren’t for Cyberus, I wouldn’t have been able to arrive in time.” Qin Lun raised his head to look at the opening on the top of the hall and said indifferently, “They should have already left the nearby area. Let’s do it. If we drag them down any longer, the Demigod Lich might come back at any moment!”

…

Cyberus fell from midair and landed heavily on the ground. He couldn’t help but cry out in pain.

Its two heads, the one on the left, had caved in on its eyebrows, and its cheeks had been flattened. Its remaining eyes were tightly closed, drooping to its side, and it seemed to be seriously injured.

However, this was not the most severely injured part of the Hellfire Devil Hound’s body. On its left waist, its dark red lava skin had already shattered, revealing a basin-sized pit. The depth of the pit was almost half the thickness of Cyberus’s body. Even its left hind leg was unable to exert any strength. It was considered crippled.

Cyberus struggled to prop himself up and limped towards Qin Lun, whimpering softly. Fiery red lava flowed out from the wound, leaving behind blazing flames along the way. Strands of white smoke rose from the ground corroded by the lava, and the air was filled with a pungent smell of sulfur.

“It’s been hard!” Qin Lun patted his intact head with admiration. With a flip of his hand, the Hellfire Devil Dog turned into a ray of light and rushed into the soul mark on the back of his hand.

As soon as Cyberus returned to the summoning space, Qin Lun’s face turned pale. He sat down cross-legged and hastily poured down a few bottles of recovery items that he had prepared long ago. If the heavily injured Hellfire Devil Dog stayed in the outside world, it would be in danger of dissipating its soul. However, once it was stored in its body, it would naturally absorb its owner’s energy and HP to repair its injuries.

“Filar, hurry up!” Shouted Milleras, sweating profusely.

Qin Lun opened his eyes and looked helplessly at the Sun Elf Prince riding on Venus’ back. After losing Cyberus, Milleras, who was attacking the centaurs alone, was in danger.

In fact, Milleras was also considered an agile ranger with flexible movements. His melee and shooting skills were quite good, and he could even use some powerful magical arrows. However, the underground hall was empty except for the obelisk and the sarcophagus, and its two legs could not run the four legs of the centaur.

If Venus hadn’t been clever enough to mount him, the Sun Elf Prince wouldn’t have been able to last even 10 seconds under the charge of the centaur.

Qin Lun’s gaze turned to the centaurs. The guardian of the undead in the underground hall had finally lost its perfect form. The price of severely wounding Cyberus was that its body was filled with corrosive lava.

The ice armor on the centaur’s body had completely disappeared, revealing the gray and rotting body of the undead. At this moment, the undead centaur’s body was black and white, and there were traces of magma corroding everywhere. Some parts of his body could still see a thick fiery red color. Occasionally, a blazing flame would erupt from the wound.

Perhaps the undead centaur’s frost power was still working. Its body was slowly recovering, but the fire poison that hadn’t dissipated had infinitely prolonged its recovery time.

This is probably the most vulnerable time yet. Even though the defenses of the Undead were still terrifying, Milleras had only been able to penetrate half an inch of his armor before and could finally pierce through its body.

However, the centaurs with more than a dozen arrows stabbed into their bodies did not seem to be affected at all. Their impact was so strong that they drove Milleras and Venus to the ground.

Most importantly, the centaurs instinctively recognized the situation and chose the latter of the two missions of protecting the obelisk and killing the invaders. Instead of moving back and forth between Venus and Milleras, he focused on hunting down the intruders.

Perhaps the only one that had been ignored was Qin Lun. Other than when he first entered the hall, he had been patient until now. He had only allowed the two summoned beasts and Milleras to attack, deliberately making the Undead Centaurs minimize his threat.

“The luck of this team is truly extraordinary. Could it be that people like Milleras have the so-called protagonist halo during their adventures?” Qin Lun shook his head and smiled bitterly. He took out something from his storage space and held it in his hand.

Ever since they met Milleras, this team had been in a desperate situation several times, but Milleras was always in danger. Even if he had Qin Lun’s subjective consciousness this time, no one could really explain the hidden arrangements.

From Lake Naga to Iron Star Fort, to the Undead Valley, and finally to the Tower of Durag. If the Ancient Road succeeded, their deeds would sooner or later become the epic stories of the continental bards.

Qin Lun lowered his head to look at the Scarlet Eye in his hand. The pair of eyes he had obtained from the Hunter’s World had already been used up by Lake Naga, and only this one was left.

Although the first “Star Black Hole” had given Qin Lun the Eye of the Clock, it was still a waste. One had to know that [Scarlet Eye] could have greatly increased the ability of [Blood of Dissection].

From the looks of it, the remaining one had to be used. Otherwise, relying on the [Descending Tree Realm] of [B] class, they would only be able to trap the centaurs for a moment at most and would not be able to kill them.

Qin Lun sighed and stuck the scarlet eye to his right eye. The scarlet eye turned into a streak of red light that merged into his right eye like water. Qin Lun’s pupils dilated slightly, and four slender hands appeared in his silver-white clock pupils. They slowly began to rotate.

The hand was spinning faster and faster. In the end, it could no longer be distinguished. The silver-white eyes of the clock showed a black shadow. The shadows grew thicker and thicker until they turned pitch black, as if they could absorb a person’s mind.

The centaur who was chasing Milleras sensed danger from afar. He let out a loud roar and abandoned the enemy in front of him. He turned around and sprinted towards Qin Lun. The sound of horse hooves sounded like a war drum.

“Unconscious creatures, no matter how powerful they are, what can they do?” Qin Lun’s expression was indifferent. He let go of his hand that was covering his right eye, revealing a pitch black eye that was as black as ink, unable to distinguish between his pupils and his eyes.

After receiving the power of the Scarlet Eye, even though the energy in the youth’s body was still being absorbed by Cyberlus, the [Clock’s Eye] still temporarily increased, and it even surpassed the original power of the [Star Black Hole].

“This kind of battle is really boring!” Qin Lun heaved a sigh of relief. With a slight breathing sound, his terrifying black eyes suddenly caved in, and a small black funnel vortex appeared in the center of his eyes.

Unlike that time by Lake Naga, this enhanced version of the Star Black Hole was no longer an invisible beam of space-time formed from perceptual lines. Instead, it transformed into a black beam of light that swept through space like a deathly light, instantly arriving and bombarding the undead centaurs’ seals.

The beam of light merged into the forehead of the centaur. Although the undead’s body was completely unharmed, in the next second, the soul flames in his eyes seemed to have been poured with a bucket of gasoline. In an instant, a fierce dark blue soul flame sprayed out from his eyes. It was half a foot away.

“Bang!” At the same time as the soul flames erupted, the head of the undead also exploded, and its enormous body couldn’t help but kneel on its front hooves and roll to the ground. Driven by its inertia, it continued to slide towards Qin Lun and finally stopped a meter in front of him.

…

An hour and a half later, a black figure suddenly appeared in the empty underground hall.

Seeing the centaur lose its head, the corpse of a large hole in its chest, and the obelisk base in the middle of the hall, a furious roar rang out from the Tower of Dulag.
