Bai Ye and Gilgamesh entered the Hanging Gardens.
This did not mean the battle was over; it meant the battle had just begun.
The courtyard was also densely packed with Dragon Tooth soldiers. The moment Bai Ye and Gilgamesh landed, they lunged towards the two.
Bai Ye wasted no words, directly raising the Xuanyuan Sword and sweeping it forward.
The crescent-shaped golden sword energy reappeared, sweeping forward. Following that, wherever the golden sword energy passed, the Dragon Tooth soldiers exploded.
From head to body, they were completely pulverized, without even a chance to reassemble their bodies.
Bai Ye sighed, "As expected of the Xuanyuan Sword!"
On the other side, Gilgamesh swung the spiral sword in his hand forward, and a large wave of electricity swept out.
Upon hitting the Dragon Tooth soldiers, it formed chain lightning, continuously flickering and crushing the soldiers one by one.
Gilgamesh sneered, "A bunch of grunts."
Bai Ye shrugged. While they were indeed grunts, their intention was clear: attrition.
Even if the Dragon Tooth soldiers couldn't harm them, fighting them would inevitably consume Bai Ye's stamina, and for Gilgamesh, attacking might consume mana.
With continuous accumulation, once they penetrated deeper into the Hanging Gardens, the enemy would undoubtedly hold the advantage.
However, this was an open strategy.
Even though Bai Ye knew the enemy intended to wear them down, there was nothing he could do. The Holy Grail was in the enemy's hands, and there was no other way but to push forward into the depths of the Hanging Gardens.
Thinking this, he continued to advance.
The surrounding Dragon Tooth soldiers, fearless of death, continuously attacked.
Bai Ye flicked his wrist, the Xuanyuan Sword swept out, cleaving a Dragon Tooth soldier's body in half, then he swept a leg forward.
Phoenix Flame!
Blazing flames erupted from Bai Ye's body, and as his leg swept out, a vast expanse of flames spread out like a tide, covering a large area ahead.
However, as Dragon Tooth soldiers were composed only of bones, the effect of the flames was not very good.
The Dragon Tooth soldiers could move freely within the flames. Even if they were reduced to ashes, it would take some time.
But…
"Flame Burst!"
Bai Ye followed up by reaching out and grasping the air in front of him.
Rumble, rumble, rumble!
Within the sea of fire, the sounds of explosions continuously erupted, and then, the Dragon Tooth soldiers within the flames were repeatedly blown into fragments.
Bai Ye and Gilgamesh stepped on the shattered bones, moving forward, swiftly passing through the courtyard and arriving before the ancient castle in the center.
Bai Ye looked up at the magnificent ancient castle before him and said, "Finding someone in such a large castle won't be easy."
Gilgamesh said, "The core of the Hanging Gardens is on the topmost level. If they don't show themselves, hehe…"
The meaning behind Gilgamesh's smile was clear: if they couldn't find the person, they would simply destroy the Hanging Gardens to force them out.
As they spoke, Bai Ye and Gilgamesh entered the castle.
However, the moment they stepped inside, a strong gust of wind swept down towards them.
To the left and right, Bai Ye and Gilgamesh simultaneously leaped aside.
Looking up, it was an extremely large Dragon Tooth soldier, four to five times the size of an ordinary one, appearing very ferocious.
Then…
Bai Ye casually slashed forward.
The Xuanyuan Sword emitted a golden radiance, and the golden sword energy reappeared, sweeping forward.
With a boom!
The Dragon Tooth soldier was split in half by Bai Ye's sword, its body instantly scattering into pieces.
Bai Ye stepped forward, raised his foot, and stomped down forcefully, crushing the Dragon Tooth soldier's head. Then he looked forward.
In the passage behind the entrance, there were densely packed Dragon Tooth soldiers, filling almost the entire passage.
Then…
Gilgamesh proudly tilted his head and looked forward, then extended his hand.
The golden光幕 of the Gate of Babylon reappeared, and within the circles of golden ripples, a large number of weapons appeared, and then…
They were shot out!
Rumble, rumble, rumble!
The weapons continuously fired, followed by continuous booming sounds.
The surrounding walls were constantly pulverized, the bluestone slabs on the ground continuously shattered, and the Dragon Tooth soldiers quickly turned into piles of碎骨, scattered on the ground.
"Unbearable!"
Gilgamesh flicked his cape, and the golden光幕 behind him disappeared.
Bai Ye spread his hands and then walked forward.
Moving forward…
It was as Bai Ye had guessed; the enemy was indeed employing a strategy of attrition.
Those Dragon Tooth soldiers posed no threat to Bai Ye and Gilgamesh. It was likely they wouldn't cause much trouble for other Chosen Ones and their heroic spirits either.
However, the enemy still created a large number of Dragon Tooth soldiers, filling the entire castle, all to keep everyone in continuous combat.
Then…
Turning a corner, Bai Ye and Gilgamesh suddenly stopped.
The passage ahead…
There were no Dragon Tooth soldiers!
However, countless white bones were scattered in the passage. It was clear that there weren't no Dragon Tooth soldiers here; rather, the Dragon Tooth soldiers here had already been eliminated.
Bai Ye and Gilgamesh looked up simultaneously, gazing towards the front of the passage, into the dark shadows.
Tap, tap, tap, tap, tap…
Metal combat boots stepped on the ground, making a clicking sound.
Soon, at the end of the passage, a man and a woman walked out.
The woman wore a blue dress, but over the blue dress, she wore silver armor. Her long golden hair was tied up, with a single strand of hair gently swaying on her forehead. In her hand, she held a silver knight's sword, its hilt engraved with golden runes.
A strong aura!
Bai Ye narrowed his eyes. It was likely another extremely powerful heroic spirit.
As for the Chosen One beside her…
He appeared to be around twenty-five or twenty-six years old, wearing a jacket and jeans, with a baseball cap worn backward, chewing gum in his mouth.
Bai Ye was slightly stunned, then he smiled.
During the wish mission, he really did encounter many acquaintances from his past life.
Cao Mingjin, from the Mythological Civilization World!
In Bai Ye's previous life, he was also one of the strong individuals who survived until the end, disappearing in the final chaotic battle in the central area.
Bai Ye had also participated in that central area chaotic battle, but he had never crossed swords with Cao Mingjin. However, as someone who could survive until the end, even if they hadn't fought, they had met or heard of each other. xxs1
Cao Mingjin stepped forward and said, "Hey, you on the other side, if you are willing to retreat now, we will cease hostilities."
"Huh?" Bai Ye looked at Cao Mingjin and said, "Are you joking?"
Could this guy be that naive?
Or rather, naive people don't survive until the end!
Cao Mingjin spread his hands and said, "This is the request of the Knight King, and also a manifestation of chivalry."
