Chapter 249 Exile Cthulhu!

There are incomprehensible lines engraved on the stone arch, and it emits a dark green brilliance from time to time.

Zhou Ze relied on his ability to read files and his immortal body to remain invincible. Under Cthulhu's non-stop attack, he didn't have time to ponder the meaning of the lines on the arch.

Tentatively walked into the arch.

In the next moment, the world changed.

The twisted coast of Bloody Dusk has turned into a dark green viscous liquid. There are indescribable things in the countless tumbling bubbles, and some understandable but inexplicable things can be vaguely seen hidden in it, such as wild animals or human beings. Faces, and some monster limbs.

Without exception, it is full of madness and distortion.

And right in the middle of this abyss and purgatory-like quagmire, a pure white key was suspended in midair.

No matter how the dark green quagmire churned, it couldn't touch it.

Just like the description of Lian Zhi's out of the mud but not stained.

This key... no?It doesn't seem to be a key at all, it just appears in front of Zhou Ze in the form of a key, because Zhou Ze understands it as a key, and it is actually something more indescribable than Cthulhu's old dominators. The existence of the latter is even more than that.

"found it!"

Zhou Ze was overjoyed, and without hesitation successfully went up to try to take the key away.

But the dark green bubbles surging in the quagmire rushed up to try to prevent him from approaching the key of redemption. Countless gaudy spaces and illusions and nightmares emerged one after another, flashing past his eyes one by one, but they couldn't affect him in any way.

It has the effect of ghosts and ghosts.

He is not afraid of any situation.

Touch the key of redemption with the condensed spiritual arm of the imperial spirit, and try to take it away from the mire.

The pure white key of salvation was taken away by Zhou Ze without any resistance.

This dark green space also changed with the disappearance of the key, and became more manic, as if some suppressed existence was about to break free and wanted to break out.

boom! ! !
The explosion sounded!
The dark green mire seemed to be constantly churning and expanding as if it were boiling hot water, almost submerging the entire space.

Immediately afterwards, there was a more intense and clear humming sound, mixed with indescribable syllables, coming from all directions.

When Zhou Ze escaped from the stone arch with the key of redemption.

He saw an unforgettable scene,
Cthulhu, who was mostly curled up on the bottom of the sea, stood up!
Cthulhu has awakened! ?
What sealed him...couldn't be this key of redemption?I broke the seal?
Zhou Ze was a little confused.

Before he had time to rush over to open the door of exile with the key, Cthulhu, who woke up from his deep sleep, tore a big hole in the space and entered the real world. No matter how Zhou Ze tried to stop him, even It is useless to open the gate of exile at this time.

The gate of exile is there, Cthulhu is not close, unless he can forcibly throw Cthulhu in, how can he be exiled...

Gan!
I didn't expect that there is such a link. Once the key of redemption is taken away, it will unlock Cthulhu's seal. How does this work?
"Actually, it's not impossible."

Zhou Ze thought of a good idea.

Simply read the file for the fourth time.

After loading the file, he did not hesitate to use all the skill card effects again to enter the invincible state, and then used the mirror flower water moon clone to create an intelligent clone with the same status as himself.

Let the avatar go to get the key of exile, while his body is face to face with Cthulhu, waiting for him to wake up.

At some point, Cthulhu gave up and continued to attack him. He seemed to know that doing so was futile, so he quietly stared at him from a distance with a pair of scarlet eyes full of malice.

"What are you looking at? Did you stare at me? Blind your dog eyes."

Zhou Ze didn't have the slightest liking for Mr. Ke's stare. He counted down silently in his heart. When the avatar almost got the key of salvation, when Cthulhu just broke free from the seal and was about to wake up, he threw a sacrificial dart at his eyes .

The dart artifact that is 100% sure to hit has not been affected much even in the face of the old days.

The body of the dart was like a shuttle, and it pierced straight into Cthulhu's huge eyeball, but because the dart artifact was too small compared to Ke Zong's eyeball with a volume of several kilometers, even if it pierced it, it would not have much effect.

That feeling... is probably similar to getting a speck of dust in your eyeball.

No pain at all.

However, the focus is not on dart damage.

It's the old nemesis effect triggered by darts!

[The old nemesis activates!Cthulhu was suppressed by the will of the earth and fell into a forced coma state, which lasted for 60 seconds. 】

With that 60 seconds of forced stun, it's enough to banish it to the other side of the door.

The avatar got the key and escaped immediately, and handed the key of exile to Zhou Ze. The whole process didn't even take ten seconds.

And Zhou Ze didn't delay at all, taking advantage of the gap when Cthulhu fell into a coma, he rushed forward and threw this small pure white key into the huge keyhole in the middle of the door of exile, like a faint The point of light fell into the endless abyss.

The light spot was not swallowed by the darkness.

Instead, it is gradually expanding and blooming.

Within a few seconds, the light from the Key of Salvation expanded exponentially, filling the keyhole-shaped abyss.

Immediately below Cthulhu's body, the two huge doors that were several kilometers long, the light from the keyhole spread to the crack of the door. The door was pushed open little by little.

When the whole door was fully opened, Cthulhu, who was in a coma, completely disappeared in the pure white light.

[Cthulhu was exiled, the game cleared! 】

The sound of mechanical sounds reached his ears, and the next moment his consciousness was brought back to the real world.

Open your eyes, in front of you is the TV screen.

On the screen is the customs clearance and settlement page.

[Exile Cthulhu: Protecting human civilization in the shadows of the old days - 100 points;]

[Pure white space: enter the pure white space, even though you don't know what it is - 10 points;]

[Score for this mission: 110 points (perfect clearance). 】

"The speed of clearing the level this time was much faster than expected, and I really couldn't get a high score."

Zhou Ze was thoughtful, and was not surprised at all. He was even satisfied with the evaluation of perfect clearance.

Click to hide bonus items.

[Hidden bonus points ①: Find the core of the city of R'lyeh, and consume a certain amount of merit to merge the different space where this twisted city is located into the secret territory of Sumeru, replacing Cthulhu's control of the city of R'lyeh. (Unlock score 'Lord of R'lyeh')]

[Hidden bonus item ②: Eliminate Cthulhu. (Unlock the special achievement 'God Slayer', directly get the full score clearance evaluation, and the reward will increase the player's authority by level 1.)]

"Are there only two bonus items? How come the second one can't be achieved?"

Zhou Ze has some doubts. He still has six free file reading opportunities left, so it's not that he can't try to achieve hidden bonus points.

The first item is easy to understand. Consuming the meritorious service to merge the city of R'lyeh into the secret realm of Sumeru should not require him to worry too much except to find the core of the city. Although this is a distorted city, it can increase the power of the secret realm. Size is still a good thing.

But destroy Cthulhu...

There were no hints and no clues.

There are a lot of rewards, which are obviously mentioned casually, without any consideration for players to achieve them.

Zhou Ze also didn't have any hope for this.

Unless he can get the Broken Demon Eye experience card when the meteorite shattered, it is impossible to threaten Cthulhu's life at all.

To be honest, he was not sure whether the Broken Eye could destroy Cthulhu, so he just mentioned it casually.

Load the file for the fifth time and enter the game.

This time he didn't face Cthulhu head-on. He threw a dart and let Cthulhu fall into a coma. It can prolong the time a little bit. When Cthulhu wakes up, he can use the 15 minutes of Shengui Yiyi experience.

After searching and searching, ten minutes passed in the blink of an eye.

Just looking around in this distorted city makes people feel irritable. Perhaps it has been infected by the breath of Cthulhu all the year round. The whole city also has a strong strange atmosphere, and the illusions that arise from time to time make people crazy .

"Huh? Why is there a stone sculpture here?"

When Zhou Ze walked into a palace, he unexpectedly found an indescribably complex stone sculpture inside. The simple description of the stone sculpture looked like a bunch of tangled silk threads, and there were countless protruding eyes on the surface of each thread.

What the hell, it's a bit scary to look at it carefully.

He tentatively touched the sculpture with his saber.

Click!

The sculpture suddenly moved.

Slowly moving away, showing a bottomless straight passage below.

That's right, it's a straight downward passage.

"This area, if I remember correctly, should be inside the stone pillar?"

The city of R'lyye is at the top of the stone pillar, and the inside of the stone pillar that looks like a mountain is very likely to be hollow at this moment.

Zhou Ze went straight to the inside of the passage without hesitation, maybe the core of the city of R'lyeh referred to by the hidden bonus item is here.

Flew some distance downwards.

Sure enough, there is a hole in the tunnel.

It's like being transported to a sealed place full of dark green liquid after entering the stone arch.

After flying through this passage, the scenery in front of me suddenly brightened, turning into an open and barren land of nearly ten kilometers, and some strange life forms could be vaguely seen gathering together on the land.

Although these twisted and weird life forms are close to human form, they combine the characteristics of many weird monsters, such as tentacles, sharp claws, wings and many indescribable special limbs.

They dance strangely on the vast and desolate land.

Zhou Ze ignored these strange unknown creatures, his eyes were attracted by a magic circle in the middle of the barren land.

The lines drawn by this magic circle almost violated his understanding of mathematics. The length of the three sides of a triangle is no longer that the sum of the two sides is greater than the third side, and the line segments of a square are no longer only four. The polygons are constantly changing in even weirder shapes.

"core?"

Zhou Ze frowned and guessed.

[Discover the core of the city of R'lyeh, do you want to consume 500 meritorious service to plunder? 】

World Games has been really in a hurry recently, so he announced the answer directly... Although the difficulty of the game has dropped, he has nothing to complain about, but he always feels that things are going too smoothly.

Loot it.

500 meritorious service is exchanged for a large piece of secret land expansion, which is very worthwhile.

【Plundering...】

[Plundering progress paused! 】

[Plundering is blocked by Cthulhu, you need to complete the main story first, exile or eliminate Cthulhu. 】

"Certainly not."

Zhou Ze didn't think that by finding the core, he could directly take the city of R'lyeh away from the old man, Cthulhu.

No matter how the other party is sealed and severely injured, he is still an old man after all. If the control is taken from his hands casually, wouldn't it be as unreasonable as snatching a lollipop from a child?He no longer needs to be a ruler.

"Go through the process again."

Zhou Ze simply reloaded the file, and played an exile scene with Mr. Ke in the sixth week.

Things are going more smoothly than expected.

The location of the Gate of Exile and the Key of Redemption has been known for a long time, and it is unbelievably fast. It took less than a minute to exile Cthulhu, and it only took 1 minutes to enter the core and plunder the city Not enough.

【Plundering in progress...】

[Bordering and merging with Xumi Secret Realm]

[The fusion countdown is estimated to be a quarter of an hour, please wait patiently]

Plundering the city's core still needs to wait... The twisted city of La'lyeh and the entire stone pillar are faintly shrouded in a pure white light, which means that this area will be merged into the secret realm of Sumeru.

Zhou Ze could only watch quietly from the sidelines. Only when the matter is completely over can the game be considered as cleared.

And the remaining time of the skill card is extremely long.

It's too painful to waste the remaining 10 minutes on the gods and ghosts. No matter what, you have to make the best use of it. Take a look around this city of R'lyeh to look for any missing details.

Anyway, this is also the lair of Cthulhu.

Even if there is no so-called wealth in the world, at least there should be some other collections, right?

Such as holy artifacts, letters, mysterious materials, or some rare treasures that even the old rulers would be tempted by?
You must know that although the city of R'lyeh will be integrated with the secret realm, there is still a large area that has not been included by the white light, such as some areas such as the ring building and the stone arch, and the Gate of Exile has not been included.

Therefore, there are still many places worth searching in advance.

Taking advantage of the last 9 minutes of Shengui Biyi, Zhou Ze chose to leave the area covered by white light and search for treasures in buildings he had never been to.

9 minute is fleeting.

Needless to say, his search wasted no time.

In a shrine-like building, there is a sculpture of Cthulhu himself.

In the center of the sculpture's forehead is inlaid a small bead that emits a strange red light. This bead is nothing ordinary at first glance. Zhou Ze's gaze with the breath of the abyss can't defeat the effect of this bead.

He simply buckled the beads and took them away.

There is also a long sword and shield hanging on a certain stone wall that do not look ordinary.

As long as you get close to them, they will emit a dark green faint light, as if your own consciousness is eager to let Zhou Ze take them away.

Similarly, Breath of the Abyss has no way to figure out the origin of these two things. Zhou Ze suspects that they may be high-level holy artifacts contaminated with Cthulhu's breath, but he can only store them until he is not sure what their effects and curses are. It cannot be taken out of the inventory.
