Chapter 106 Carolina
After deciding to take action, Sunan and Qiangwei no longer hesitated and took action immediately.

The sphinx statue was extremely heavy, and even Sunan, who possessed the strength of a great knight, found it difficult to move it.

Fortunately, he had other options.

Boom!

An elite stone golem appeared out of nowhere, opened its arms and hugged the statue, then suddenly exerted force, lifted the statue up and moved it to the side in front of Rose's surprised gaze.

Is this a stone golem?
Rose looked stunned.

When did the stone golem become so powerful?

Isn't this what a legendary knight is all about?

However, now was not the time to doubt this. Qiangwei suppressed her suspicion and put her hand on the ground.

In an instant, the ground within a radius of ten meters began to ripple like water waves.

Not long after, a fist-sized crystal ball slowly emerged from the ground.

Qiangwei picked up the crystal ball, examined it carefully, and said happily, "This is it."

"Okay, get out of here."

In just a short while, the movement in the central square had attracted the attention of the Sphinx.

At this moment, human-faced lions were rushing towards them from all directions.

Sunan ordered the elite stone golems to stay behind to fend off the pursuers, while he and Qiangwei fled quickly.

The two chose a direction opposite to the city gate they came from.

After all, a large number of sphinxes were gathering at the city gate right now, and running there at this time would be like walking into a trap.

You have to escape in another direction.

Anyway, the island city is surrounded by lakes on all sides, so it doesn't matter which direction you leave the city from.

"Intruder!"

"Get 'em!"

More than ten human-faced sphinxes rushed towards them, waving scimitars and attacking them with ferocious looks.

However, neither Sunan nor Qiangwei took this ordinary human-faced sphinx warrior seriously.

The two men kept moving and just waved their hands. A large amount of lightning swept out like a torrent, instantly turning more than a dozen human-faced lions into charcoal.

Faced with two third-level wizard apprentices, these sphinxes, whose strength was only close to that of a knight, were no match at all. They were killed all the way and had no power to fight back.

Sunan and Qiangwei passed through the city center smoothly.

In order to avoid the towering stone pillar that was obviously the residence of the sphinx nobles, the two of them took a detour and made a big circle from the side.

But at this moment, there was a flash of fire in front of them, and a large flame came towards them. The scorching heat almost made people's hair curl.

Qiangwei subconsciously wanted to stop, but suddenly Su Nan's steady voice came to her ears.

"That's an illusion, charge forward!"

Rose didn't hesitate, activated the protective magic item, and rushed forward.

The result was just as Su Nan had expected. The flames that looked extremely scorching in front of him seemed to be nothing when they touched his body.

The two men passed through the flames unharmed.

Qiangwei looked at Su Nan in surprise.

"The Sphinxes don't have the spell-like ability to control fire, and they can't cast spells either. They only have a few confusing illusions."

Sunan explained without turning his head, then he waved his hand violently, and a bolt of lightning struck an empty space.

Suddenly, a scream of "Ah" was heard, and a figure staggered out from the air. It was a sphinx.

He fell to the ground with his body charred, motionless and silent.

Qiangwei was just one step slower than Su Nan in realizing something was wrong. The ring on her right index finger flashed, and a layer of gray light visible to the naked eye spread out in all directions with her as the center.

Wherever the gray light passed, human-faced sphinxes appeared one after another, with painful expressions on their faces. They fell to their knees, and the scimitars in their hands fell to the ground with a clang.

Chi Chi!

Their skin cracked, but there was no bleeding. Instead, thin gray thorns grew out and gradually spread all over their bodies, covering their entire bodies.

In the blink of an eye, huge gray thorns appeared on the streets.

Whoosh!

However, more sphinxes jumped out of the air, all holding scimitars, roaring deeply, and rushing towards the two men.

These human-faced lions were different from the ones Sunan had encountered before. They were taller and more muscular, with strange patterns tattooed on their upper body skin, which shone with strange light in the dim light.

The scimitars in their hands were also more sophisticated, and without exception they were double-bladed.

It was obvious that these were the elite warriors among the Sphinxes.

Facing the siege of many elite human-faced lions, Sunan and Qiangwei remained calm.

Two elite stone golems appeared out of thin air, one in front and one behind, taking heavy steps towards the sphinx.

Rose took out a handful of seeds and threw them forward. The seeds quickly burst after falling to the ground, and strands of vines grew out of them, interweaving to form a human figure.

Soon, there were dozens of humanoid creatures made entirely of green vines on the street.

They waved their thick arms made of vines and roared as they rushed towards the sphinx.

The two sides soon engaged in a fight.

Su Nan and Qiangwei didn't pay attention to these human-faced lions, but turned to look at the roof of a house not far away.

There stood a strange lion-like figure.

Unlike the other lion-faced creatures that were fighting, its upper body looked like a human female, with sharp features and slanted eyebrows. It had a silver-white collar on its snow-white neck and long dark blue hair, which made it look even more charming.

He was also wearing a black leather armor that bulged high on his chest.

To be honest, if you only look at her upper body, she is undoubtedly a beauty who can arouse a man's heart at a glance.

But if you shift your gaze to the lower body and see the green snake tail as thick as a bucket swaying back and forth on the ground, all evil thoughts will be dispelled.

"Is that also a human-faced sphinx?" A hint of doubt flashed in Qiangwei's eyes.

"That's the noble among the sphinxes." Sunan said calmly, "Most of the sphinxes are half human and half lion, but the noble is half human and half snake, and most of them are women. That guy should be a member of the upper ruling class of this city-state."

"The illusion just now must have been cast by her."

The Sphinx nobles are not only good at close combat, but also have magic-like spell abilities. Each of them is a legendary powerhouse who practices both magic and martial arts.

Rose looked at the nobleman with a human-faced sphinx, and found that in addition to a curved black snake-shaped dagger hanging from her waist, she also held a long staff inlaid with silver snake-shaped ornaments in her hand.

Qiangwei looked at Su Nan in surprise and couldn't help asking, "How do you know so much?"

"I read it in a book." Su Nan said casually.

Qiangwei was dubious.

At this time, the nobleman with the human-faced lion suddenly spoke.

"That's amazing. If I'm not mistaken, both of you are wizards."

She smiled charmingly, her face flowing with smoke, not at all like she was facing a life-and-death opponent, but rather like she was seeing a lover she hadn't seen for many years.

"Let me introduce myself, my name is Carolina."

"It has been many years since a wizard has visited our city-state. It is really rare to see two of them come today."

"But you broke into our territory for no reason and killed so many of my people. Isn't that a bit unreasonable? Even if you are a wizard, you can't act so recklessly, right?" Rose sneered and said, "It's really disgusting to hear such words coming from your mouth. Didn't you just invade the surface a while ago and massacred an entire village of civilians? Why didn't you act so reasonably at that time?"

Carolina suddenly realized: "You are from the Principality of Jinghua."

Su Nan's expression changed and he glanced at Qiangwei.

It seems that Rose found the entrance to the underground world probably because of this incident.

Could it be that she is from Jinghua Principality?

"So you're here for revenge."

Carolina giggled, her voice as clear as a silver bell.

"Then there's nothing more to say. Don't even think about it today, both of you."

Before she could finish her words, Sunan and Qiangwei attacked at the same time, and more than ten magic missiles flew towards Carolina, interrupting her next words.

Carolina's face darkened, and her snake tail swung flexibly, avoiding most of the missiles.

The remaining missiles hit her, but they were like leaves falling on the lake, causing a few ripples before disappearing.

Carolina, unharmed, jumped down from the roof and landed steadily on the ground.

She sneered, swung her staff, and hit the ground hard.

In an instant, several illusory shadows appeared around all the sphinxes present, and then instantly separated, condensed into entities, and pounced forward together.

Suddenly, the number of enemies increased several times.

This was obviously some kind of illusion. It was impossible for Carolina to summon so many tribesmen in an instant.

However, under normal circumstances, the opponent does not have time to carefully distinguish which are illusions and which are entities.

Carolina has used this move to defeat many powerful opponents.

But this time she was destined to be disappointed.

Because she was facing a wizard apprentice whose methods were more flexible and varied.

Sunan activated the ice necklace without hesitation, and in an instant, an icy shock wave that almost froze his bones exploded with him as the center!
Wherever the shock wave passed, the illusions disappeared like popped bubbles, and the real Sphinx froze into ice with a crackling sound!
In the blink of an eye, dozens of ice sculptures appeared on the street.

Seeing this scene, not only Carolina, but also Rose was shocked.

"A glimmer-level magic item!"

Qiangwei took a deep breath, her eyes filled with envy and surprise.

It is extremely difficult to obtain a glimmer-level magic item these days, let alone making one by yourself.

She has accumulated more than ten magical items over the years, but not even one is of Glimmer Grade. All of them are of Alchemical Grade without exception.

Seeing the amazing power of the glimmer-level magic items at this moment, I can’t help but be envious!

“I didn’t expect that players would even have such good stuff.”

Qiangwei had a new understanding of the wealth of the players.

With one strike, Carolina's illusion was broken. While the Sphinx was in panic, Sunan snapped his fingers and a sparkling gem shot out like a bullet.

Boom!

In mid-air, the gem burst into a dazzling blue-green light, and turned into an extremely thick thunder that suddenly fell towards Carolina, submerging it in an instant.

"go!"

Su Nan shouted in a deep voice, leaving two elite stone golems to block the enemy, while he and Qiangwei fled quickly.

After all, this is the enemy's base camp. We can't delay too long and must leave quickly.

In the blink of an eye, the two disappeared at the end of the street.

At the same time, a shrill scream suddenly sounded.

The strong wind blew away the smoke and dust, revealing Carolina's figure.

Her body was covered with charred scars, and most of the scales on her snake tail had fallen off. She had completely lost the enchanting beauty she had just a moment ago, and looked extremely disheveled.

"Damn wizard!"

"Damn humans!"

Carolina stared with resentment in the direction where Sunan and the other man left. Realizing that it was too late for her to catch up with them, she angrily poked the ground hard with her long staff.

"Lady Carolina."

A group of sphinxes came running from a distance, led by a tall one.

He looked at the injured Carolina in shock.

As far as he could remember, the powerful Lady Carolina had never been in such a mess.

Where did the invader come from that could have injured Lady Carolina so badly?

Carolina glanced at him and said grimly, "Angus, what's going on at the city gate?"

Angus lowered his eyes and said respectfully: "All the enemies have been dealt with!"

After a pause, he hesitated and said, "It's just that, Lady Carolina, those enemies are very strange. They don't seem to be real intelligent creatures."

Carolina said coldly: "That's a golem, a kind of puppet created by wizards."

"wizard!"

Aengus was surprised.

It was actually wizards who attacked the city-state. No wonder even Lady Carolina was injured like this.

In the vast underground world, many legends about wizards are still circulating.

It is an existence more terrifying than dragon demons, dark elves and frost corpses!
"Carry the injured down for treatment, and send someone to watch over the slaves in the lower city to prevent any fools from causing a riot. I'm going to report this incident to the city lord."

"Yes, Lady Carolina!"

After watching Carolina disappear, Angus looked back at the devastated street. His gaze stayed on the two golems that had been torn into pieces for a moment, and his brows furrowed.

"Someone, clean up the things!"

After successfully breaking through, Sunan and Qiangwei immediately used the invisibility technique and disappeared again.

The pursuers were stopped by two elite stone golems. On the rest of the way, apart from encountering a few sporadic sphinxes, they did not encounter any other obstacles and escaped from the city smoothly.

Only when they returned to the original cave did Sunan and Qiangwei relax.

"Thanks to you this time." Qiangwei smiled at Su Nan.

This time, we were able to retrieve the key from the Sphinx city-state so smoothly, all thanks to Sunan.

If he hadn't used golems to attack the city gate, involving a large army of sphinxes, and finally severely damaged the sphinx noble with the force of thunder, they would not have been able to escape so smoothly.

Sunan’s strength is even stronger than she imagined!
Especially the blow that just now severely injured the Sphinx noble, which was somewhat like an energy rune, but much more powerful than an energy rune. Even Rose was secretly shocked.

Su Nan shook his head and said nothing.

It's mainly physical pain.

The three elite stone golems and one hundred stone golems left in the city-state have a total value of more than ten thousand gold coins!
It’s equivalent to one month’s profit of the mining area!
In order to get the key to unlock the wizard's legacy, he paid a heavy price this time.

"I hope the things in the wizard's heritage can make up for my loss."

Su Nan pondered silently.
