Chapter 2629: Chapter 1447: Unexpected Situation (Part

“Judging from the bite marks, it definitely wasn’t a case of Medusas killing each other.”

Lannis shook his head and negated, “These teeth marks are small and densely packed, something unheard of.”

Hearing the words of Lannis and the others, Leo Ray furrowed his brows even tighter.

This was indeed a barbaric manner of attack nobody had seen before, practically horrifying to behold.

Originally, he thought that this suddenly emerged third-party force might likely be a Lord from another sector, inadvertently arriving here through a variant dimensional storm and encountering Belinda and others. But from the current situation, it seems this wasn’t done by any other sector’s Lord either.

“Could it really be some kind of Demon Beast that broke in here? Something like a Blood Red Sandworm?”

The one-eared middle-aged Catman expert steadied his mind and spoke again.

“Absolutely impossible. This is the Holy Land of Medusas. Apart from that special secret passage we just used, the area is covered with extremely powerful Magic Restrictions. Even if several Tier 6 magical beasts attacked simultaneously, they couldn’t break this—Spatial Magic included.”

The gray-armored Catman expert took a deep breath of the bloody air and responded, “I have checked earlier, and there’s no damage to the Magic Restrictions here. So it seems this third-party force appeared out of nowhere, leaving the minions here no time to react.”

“Appear out of nowhere? How could that be possible?”

The Catman experts exchanged glances again, with cold sweat unknowingly dripping from their foreheads.

You have to say, the current situation is becoming more perplexing, what exactly is this ruthless third-party force?

“Alright, everyone, pull yourself together. Our Lord Leader’s life is uncertain. Now is not the time to be suspicious and fearful.”

Lannis went to the front of the group and began reorganizing the formation.

“Indeed, we should be within reach of their coronation site now. Although the situation has grown more complex, our goal remains unchanged.”

Leo Ray composed himself once more and began advancing with the Catman experts.

As expected, after passing through several more areas with scenes of carnage identical to before, they soon arrived at a grand hall.

It still featured the strange white natural structure, but with numerous additional human elements, such as rows of Medusa statues, a giant altar, and the golden throne at the hall’s end.

The entire hall was decked out in colorful decorations, with battle flags hoisted high, exhibiting a scene of celebratory ceremony.

But most striking were the ground strewn with the broken bodies of Medusas, in complete disarray, mirroring the earlier scene. The rich iron smell in the air rushed into their nostrils, making one feel a sudden chill.

“Your Majesty of the Humans, it appears that Belinda was in the midst of the coronation ceremony when suddenly attacked by that mysterious third-party force. Those deploying Magic Traps and attempting an ambush heard the commotion and hastily came to assist, which explains the situation just now where things were left half-done.”

After directing other Catman experts to search and keep watch, Lannis nodded towards Leo Ray, saying, “And judging from the current situation, it appears the Battle ended not too long ago.”

“The urgent task now is to find the Desert Leader as soon as possible, hoping she is still alive.”

Leo Ray looked at the myriad of bodies surrounding him and immediately joined the search party with two Stone Spirits.

However, after a thorough investigation, there was no trace of Sina or Belinda here, nor any sign of that mysterious third-party force.

It’s worth noting that Lannis and the others identified many of the fallen as Tier 6 Medusa experts, yet they couldn’t deal with that mysterious third-party force in the least.

This couldn’t help but remind Leo Ray of “Corrosion,” but “Corrosion” either turns targets into a pool of black water or directly parasitizes, which is evidently different from the scene before them.

“But it must be acknowledged, this mysterious third-party force is indeed extremely bizarre and difficult to deal with.”

Just as Leo Ray was thinking about this, the aged voice of the gray-armored Catman elder suddenly rang out, “There’s a survivor here!”

Upon hearing this, Leo Ray and Lannis quickly rushed over and found a barely-breathing Medusa in a dark corner.

She was not dressed in Magic Robes like most minions but wore a maid outfit, indicating she was likely a maid.

“Wake up, what exactly happened here?”

Lannis instructed a Catman Shaman to apply the Healing Technique while asking the maid.

“Those creatures suddenly emerged from the walls and devoured everything without mercy!”

With fear etched into her face, the pale maid opened her eyes slowly and spoke incoherently, “Even the energy barrier of Tier 6 experts couldn’t withstand those creatures’ devouring. No attacks could affect them. They were cruel and ruthless demons! Nightmares of the most horrifying kind!”

After hearing the maid’s words, everyone, including Leo Ray, exchanged glances once more.

Especially Leo Ray, whose face turned even graver. It must be said, what she described seemed to get closer and closer to “Corrosion.”

“But though we’re deep underground here, there’s no sign of Magical Ley Lines erupting, and according to the maid, those things emerged from the strange white walls.”

“Could it be that ‘Corrosion’ has other variants, or is it a creature similar to ‘Corrosion’? But what is certain is that these things are extremely aggressive.”

As Leo Ray considered this, several sharp, miserable cries suddenly emanated faintly from another passage on the far side of the hall, an area they had not yet explored.

“What about the Lord Leader?”

Hearing this, Lannis hurriedly inquired of the maid again.

“Lady Belinda took Her Majesty Sina that way…”

The maid lifted her hand to point towards the passage from where the cries had emanated, then rolled her eyes and fainted again.

“Your Majesty of the Humans, it seems we must go there!”

Lannis nodded to Leo Ray, and the two of them, leading other Catman experts, swiftly headed toward that passage.

Although the earlier cries did not apparently come from Sina, since Sina was there, it was clear she was in a dangerous situation too.

They raced down the passage that emitted a strange white glow, and when Leo Ray’s view broadened again, they had already arrived at another underground hall.

Several strong Medusas in a corner were desperately firing Petrification Light and other Spells at a round white floating object, to no effect, as the object edged closer and closer.

And then, the stifling event occurred.

The once-fist-sized white floating object suddenly swelled up, enveloping one strong Medusa and her surrounding Energy Barrier, with only a massive snake tail left thrashing around.

Subsequently, with the crisp sound of bones snapping, the engulfed Medusa was left with just a massive snake tail, splattering red all around.

Witnessing this, everyone on their side, including Leo Ray, widened their eyes involuntarily.

From the back, it appeared that the white floating object engulfed the Medusa expert, but more accurately, it seemed to have directly devoured her.

“So this is the source of those earlier scenes, what exactly is that thing?”

Leo Ray fixed his gaze on the white floating object, which had shrunk back to the size of a fist, frowning tightly.

Judging by its size, it was considerably smaller than “Corrosion,” and its sudden swelling attack method was particularly unique, yet its invincibility was very similar to “Corrosion.”

Just as Leo Ray pondered this, the white floating object seemed to become aware of their presence and suddenly turned, directly shooting towards them like a bullet.
