The country asked you to farm, you planted corn cannons

Chapter 487: Powerful Existence

The group continued to move forward, looking around at the strange and twisted underground world.

From time to time, strange creatures in the shape of plague emerged from the eerie black swamp, but they did not dare to approach easily.

Li Yang and others were cautious and prepared to deal with emergencies at any time.

I don't know how far they went, but a huge black city appeared in front of them.

The city wall was composed of countless coiled plague tentacles, like a monster with bared fangs and claws.

Everyone approached vigilantly and found that it was actually a huge underground capital, shrouded in thick miasma.

"Li Yang... Do you think this place looks familiar?" Demeter asked doubtfully.

Li Yang looked at it carefully and nodded:

"It looks a bit like...the place where we first met Artemis."

"Behind the Gate of Death, I remember...it seems to be a place called the Underworld."

As soon as the voice fell, the city gate opened, and a surging black air wave came, sweeping everyone in.

Everyone hurriedly gathered to resist the enemy and resisted this powerful shock wave.

The black fog dissipated, and the familiar humanoid plague appeared in front of the city gate, with blazing eyes, staring at everyone.

That face was exactly the same face as Li Yang, which everyone was familiar with.

That plague clone...is still alive?

He slowly let out a deafening roar.

But the words were vague, and nothing could be heard at all.

The countless plague tentacles around moved in response, like strange and terrifying tentacles in the dark night, attacking and swooping at everyone.

Li Yang and Oeniri hurriedly slashed out several halos and barely blocked them.

"Hmm... This thing is stronger than expected..."

Demeter said solemnly, and at the same time blasted out a lightning bolt, exploding a small amount of plague energy.

Aphrodite dodged repeatedly, smiling at the humanoid plague:

"Remember you were still very smart two days ago? How did you become like this?"

"Alas... Relying on gnawing others to maintain oneself is too tragic for an intelligent life form."

"Is it because of this that you destroyed your brain and became like this?"

The plague clone seemed to be annoyed by her words, showing its ferocious fangs and roaring.

Then, before the voice fell, a thick black fog suddenly condensed into countless sharp black claws, rushing towards everyone.

Everyone has faced this kind of attack countless times, so naturally they don't take it too seriously.

Then, they easily bounced it off with a wave.

In such a weak state, all the attacks of the plague could hardly cause any harm to Li Yang and his party.

Now the situation between the two sides has been completely reversed.

Seeing that the attacks of the plague clones were difficult to cause substantial damage, Li Yang and others relaxed their vigilance.

Artemis stepped forward and looked at it with some pity:

"Poor guy, you used to be quite wise, but now you have fallen to such a state. Give up, even if you devour us, you can't live for long."

As she said, she waved her hand lightly, and the silver-white moonlight pulled out like a thread, imprisoning the plague clone in place, and no matter how it struggled, it could not move at all.

It roared in anger and tried to resist, but its body gradually twisted and deformed, and finally froze into an ugly shape, completely losing its human form.

Then everyone continued to move forward into the depths of the underground city.

Along the way, sporadic clones of the plague appeared from time to time to block them, but they were quickly suppressed one by one.

After walking for an unknown period of time, they finally arrived at the center of the city - a vast and empty area.

There was endless black fog and fluorescent swamps all around, and only the central area was covered by a faint barrier.

Coincidentally, this barrier was condensed by something similar to the power of authority.

Or, it was a replica of the power of authority.

Now, everyone was more certain that this place was where the clone of the plague outside specifically led them here.

"Is this barrier... is it isolating some kind of power inside?" Demeter walked forward thoughtfully, trying to touch the barrier, but suddenly felt dizzy and quickly retreated.

Oneriyi was idle at the side, so she simply went to poke it, and almost fell to the ground with black eyes.

Fortunately, Aphrodite was quick to pull her back, so nothing went wrong.

"Be careful, who knows what is locked inside." Li Yang said, but he looked at the inside of the barrier with curiosity.

I saw that there seemed to be a faint white mist floating in the barrier, and from time to time it condensed into some vague shapes, and then quickly disappeared.

"So this is... the source of the epidemic?" Li Yang frowned and stepped forward, measuring carefully.

But after seeing that thing, Theresa, who had been silent, suddenly froze in place.

When Li Yang tried to split the barrier with the Sword of Creation, she suddenly reached out and grabbed Li Yang's sleeve:

"No...wait a minute!"

"I recognize that thing!"

"That white mist...that is..."

Theresa looked at the white mist in the barrier with a complicated expression, took a deep breath, and said solemnly:

"That...that white mist is not the source of the plague, but the Holy Spirit!"

"It is...something inside the World Tree."

Everyone was startled when they heard this and looked at each other.

"The inner part of the World Tree, so...you mean..." Li Yang frowned, and an idea flashed in his mind, "That thing is the source of this world?"

Teresa nodded, then shook her head:

"That's not entirely true...because there is still a World Tree in this world."

"Only when the body of the World Tree is dispersed and the Holy Spirit inside is not harmed, can it be liberated."

"Yes, that's right! When I went down the well, I always had an inexplicably familiar feeling, and now I finally remember it."

"That's what this guy is guiding. It's the existence of the plane that created us, the true source of the main world!"

Demeter frowned:

"Why is 녦...녦 being imprisoned here? And it seems that it is suppressed by some kind of force."

"That doesn't make sense." Onirii interjected, "As the source of the plane, how can it be suppressed by any force? Don't forget that even monsters like disease are attached to its power. Just to survive."

Artemis pondered for a moment, and suddenly her eyes lit up: "So... the disease clone who tried to lure us here specifically lured them here because he knew the inside story here?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone suddenly realized.

"That's right. Didn't it lure us here on purpose? It means... that it wants us to unlock this barrier and rescue the source of the world sealed inside?"

Theresa anxiously looked at the white fog ball in the barrier: "Who would do such a thing? What is the purpose of imprisoning the source of the world?"

Everyone looked at each other, no one could tell the reason.

It was Demeter who said quietly: "If you really can't think of the culprit, just blame Wan Da's epidemic."

"After all, that is an existence that can defeat even Li Yang's will."
