Chapter 20: The Mysterious Seal
"Ah~~ Pain, pain, pain" Millie touched the back of her head and sat up and said.
Everyone sat up, looked around, and looked up at the cave where they had fallen, and it was pitch black except for a glimmer of moonlight at the entrance.
In the darkness, Yuan Cheng's voice sounded: "Fourth sister and fifth brother, use lighting techniques to see what kind of environment is around us?"
Millie and Ian's voices rang out at the same time, "Yes, big brother." β
Two glowing spheres popped up in the palms of Millie and Ian's hands, instantly illuminating the surroundings.
It looked like a man-made room, made of stone bricks on all sides, a circular space, a square stone door, I don't know where it leads, and the passage is pitch black.
"The environment is safe, no one is hurt, right?" asked Yuan Cheng
"Well, it's all right," everyone responded.
Yuan Cheng glanced at Millie and said, "It's okay," and then turned to Qiang Feng and reproached, "Second brother, why are you always so reckless, fortunately, this hole is not deep, we are a team, think more about the team, don't be so impulsive next time." β
Qiang Feng also knew that he was often so reckless, and this problem was difficult to change, so he touched his head and admitted his mistake to Yuan Cheng: "Big brother, I was wrong." β
Yuan Cheng sighed and said: "Alas, your problem, the eldest brother knows best, forget it, be less impulsive in the future" After speaking, he looked at everyone and continued: "Since everything is fine, then we will continue to track the two-headed monitor lizard, fifth brother, you go ahead of me, use illumination to explore the way, I will follow you, the fourth sister will use illumination to follow me, and the rest of the people will follow." β
Maybe it's because of Millie's safety, so Millie wasn't allowed to light at the end.
Ian looked at the dark passage, he was a little scared, but the eldest brother's order made him reluctantly move forward.
In the dark passage, a crisp footstep sounded continuously, and in a vast space, the illumination technique gradually illuminated from a small tunnel, and the Hades Emperor and the others walked to the end of the tunnel and walked into this vast space, because of the vastness of the space, Ian and Millie's illumination can only make people's eyes blur to see the general shape of this space.
One by one, there are large stone pillars, and at every distance there is a stone pillar erected, and the illumination cannot see the scenery opposite them, except for the Emperor of Hades and Sirimu, the Emperor of Hades can see the opposite, some rooms and some tunnels that do not know where they lead, and there is a long red carpet in the stone pillars, which looks very old, and it is filled with dust and some dust, and the bright red color has long been dimmed.
Ian said softly to Yuan Cheng, "Big brother, look at that." β
The Hades Emperor looked towards the place that Ian said, a trace of moonlight shone down from the top of this space, and the place that hit it was an old royal throne, on the wide throne, except for the original stone body of the throne, the other luxuries that used to cover the throne no longer existed, but it can be seen that there is not a single cobweb, nor a trace of sand and dust on the throne, which makes people a little puzzled.
After seeing this, everyone understood in their hearts that this should be the palace of a certain race in the past.
Yuan Cheng swallowed, looked around and said, "In such a palace, it is really not easy to find a two-headed monitor lizard. β
At this time, the taciturn Xilimu said to Yuan Cheng: "Big brother, we are blindly looking for it, is it right, the two-headed lizard we saw before is only the size of my two feet, can it be called a monitor lizard?"
Yuan Cheng touched his chin and sighed: "Third brother, none of us have ever seen this two-headed monitor lizard, and there is no specific information about the two-headed monitor lizard in the mission, only that the two-headed monitor lizard is a monster in the desert, and the two heads don't know what level they are, otherwise the employer will not pay a high price to hire a mercenary in the mercenary club, we can only see similar ones, so we have to catch them, otherwise how can we figure out whether it is a two-headed monitor lizard." β
Qiang Feng interjected: "Third brother, now we are also clueless, just listen to the eldest brother's search, who let us not encounter a suitable task in the past few months, so we took the risk to find a black task, I hope that the two-headed monitor lizard is not a high-level monster, if the two-headed lizard just now is what the employer is looking for, then we can return early." β
Yuan Cheng said: "Yes, let's look for it, third brother, you lurk around to see, if there is any situation, contact immediately, let's go to the other side to have a look." β
"Okay big brother" said Sirimu and disappeared into the darkness.
The Hades Emperor sensed Xilimu's qi and had already infiltrated the other tunnels, so he said to Yuan Cheng: "Brother, you go, Red Wing and I will look elsewhere, and I will inform you if there is a situation of a two-headed monitor lizard." β
Yuan Cheng said with some disbelief: "Then the Emperor of the Underworld, can you see the way clearly?"
The Immortal Emperor smiled: "Don't worry, I can also illuminate the arts, it's okay, I can see the way clearly." β
"Hehe, okay, then you two should be more careful, and notify us if there is a situation of a two-headed monitor lizard" Yuan Cheng said with a smile and took the others away.
In the dark, the Hades Emperor's pupils turned blood red, watching Yuan Cheng and the others disappear into a room, Red Wing asked the Hades Emperor: "Brother, why don't you go all the way with Yuan Cheng and them, after all, we don't know what level of monster the two-headed monitor lizard is, in case it is a high-level monster, and it is encountered by the two of us, wouldn't it be very dangerous?"
The Immortal Emperor gently took Red Wing's hand and said, "You dragons are in the dark and your eyesight is not good, let me lead you away, using illumination will cause some unnecessary trouble." β
Red Wing replied, "Okay brother".
The Immortal Emperor pulled the red wings and walked towards a tunnel opposite, and said: "As soon as we entered this palace just now, I felt that something was calling me, and this thing made me feel that he was in pain, and it seemed that he wanted me to rescue him, but I don't know what it was, so I want to go and see it now." β
Red Wing suddenly became worried: "Brother, you don't know what to go, if it's a two-headed monitor lizard, what should I do?" It's a low-level monster, but if it's a high-level monster, with our current strength, wouldn't it be difficult to save my life." β
"It won't be a two-headed monitor lizard," the Hades Emperor replied with certainty, "because after entering the tunnel, I already felt a powerful energy, greater than the qi possessed by a high-level monster." β
Saying that, Red Wing also felt a strong qi, but suddenly disappeared again, Red Wing asked, "I also felt a strong qi, but why did it suddenly disappear again?"
The Hades Emperor pulled the red wings and walked all the way, and said: "Yes, this qi is very strange, obviously very powerful, but it disappears in an instant, and it also makes me feel his pain, such a strong breath, what can make him painful?"
Red Wing also had a hint of curiosity and said, "Brother, let's go faster and see what's going on." β
The Immortal responded, "Hmm".
At the end of the tunnel, an iron door was locked, but unfortunately time was like an arrow, so that the iron door and the lock on the iron door were rusty, and the Emperor pushed hard to push the iron door open.
The Hades Emperor used the illumination technique, and when Red Wing saw it, there was nothing around, a small room, only a sealing circle was drawn on the ground, and in the circle, there was a crystal ball, and a powerful qi could occasionally be felt in the room.
The Hades slowly approached the crystal ball, feeling that it was this thing calling him, the Hades Emperor was hesitating, and he followed the call of this powerful qi to this small room, right or wrong, but in the end, the Hades still chose to pick up the crystal ball.
At this moment, the sealing circle in the room began to emit a blue light to talk about, slowly disappearing, and the crystal ball in the hands of the Hades Emperor suddenly cracked, and then the detection stone on the wrists of the Hades and Red Wings emitted a bright light, and a string of numbers flashed on the detection stone, and before the Hades and Red Wings could see what the numbers were, the detection stone suddenly burst open and fell to the ground, and then, without the Hades and Red Wings noticing, a black shadow ran out of the cracked crystal ball, along the soles of the Hades Emperor's feet, climbed onto the body of the Hades Emperor, attached to the back of the Hades Emperor, and a paw print that had been scratched by three claws appeared on the back of the Hades Emperorγ
It turned out that the powerful qi in the room had also disappeared, and when the Immortal Emperor and Red Wing were puzzled, they suddenly heard Ian's voice shouting, "Two-headed monitor lizard."
