In the secret room, thousands of black chains covered the ground.

Suddenly, the chains began to shrink at the same time. Shrinking toward the center of the entire chain dispersion.

Rhys shifted his steps, trying not to touch the bloodthirsty things.

When all the chains that covered the ground had almost shrunk, the four vertical chains slowly began to shrink as well.

Looking in the direction of all the chain contractions, Rhys found that the same direction in which these chains contracted ended in Duroc's body.

The chains were wrapped around Duroc's long knife in both hands, and each chain coalesced at the hilt, and the converging chains bit Duroc's hand like a viper.

"Locke!" Rhys called out to Duroc, but Duroc still seemed to be asleep at the moment, and did not respond.

"Hehe.........!" Groot laughed, out of control. Because he had already seen the moment when the plan was successful: "It seems to have succeeded!"

"Locke defeated your so-called monster?" Rhys asked

"No! I don't know any monsters. That's just what she told me!" he said, gesturing at the still unconscious "Suo Lan Qingyin". "But, what is certain... The Soul Eater Lock has been completely unsealed!!"

"Thoroughly?...... Unblocked?" Rhys didn't understand what that meant, but seeing that Groot's expression, it didn't seem like a good look.

Zhifei Xianglan kept staring at Duroc and never took her eyes off. It seems that doing so can help Duroc. Yet her eyes were always moist.

"Locke!" Rhys immediately walked over to the stone platform when he saw all the chains being sucked into Duroc's right arm.

"You'd better not get too close to him!" Groot said leisurely, moving slowly backwards himself.

"What?" Rhys didn't understand what he was going to say, but it didn't take long for him to understand.

When Rhys was still two meters away from the stone platform, a chain suddenly shot out from the direction of Duroc, and it was aimed at Rhys's throat. Fortunately, he has always focused his attention on Duroc. Although the chain was fast, it could even be said that it was caught off guard, but Rhys still avoided it well.

Rhys, who was still frightened, almost stiffened there, and who knew that the chains also weakened instantly, falling to the ground, slowly recovering.

The chain was fired from Duroc's right shoulder, and even Duroc's clothes were shot through a hole. The chains almost looked like they had grown out of Duroc's shoulders.

After the panic, Rhys slowly fell backwards. Then he asked Groot, "What's going on, why did Locke attack me?"

"Attacking you, I'm afraid it's the same result if I throw this girl over now!" Groot smiled sinisterly, "This is where the Soul Eater Lock is really powerful!" He is the only one of all the holy weapons including dragons, demons, and humans that has consciousness and a self-defense system, and you have just entered its defense range. ”

"How do I get it to stop?" Rhys asked

"You have to wait until the person wakes up and control it with his own consciousness, or he will never want to get close!"

After listening to Groot's words, Rhys took a few steps back. Then he shouted Duroc: "Locke, wake up, hurry!!"

As the time passed, about five minutes passed. Duroc's body moved, and slowly his originally bowed back slowly rose too much, and his body slowly stood upright.

His eyes were covered by blonde hair that looked like gold, but at that moment, he could still see the same golden dragon eyes almost if he was careful. But the lights were dim, and now almost no one paid attention to his eyes.

But the dragon's breath has appeared, and the dragon's breath will also appear, and the long-term drug inhibition makes Duroc's current dragon's breath very weak even if the dragon's breath is exposed to the whole of the dragon's eye.

"You, no way!" Even the faint breath of the dragon would be perceived in the senses of the person who was also Groot. But that Groot made up his own guess, and only thought it was the two Groot who were lying on the ground. casually glanced at the two Groot. Then he asked Duroc, "How are you feeling right now?"

"No!" Duroc's voice suddenly became ethereal, and seemed to contain infinite power. "It's painful!"

"How is that possible?" Groot questioned, but soon changed his face to a stalemate and said, "Forget it! I don't care how you feel, now please take that with me!"

"You want it?" Duroc held out his right hand, one end of the chain reaching out from Duroc's palm, and Duroc pointed to the Soul Eater in his right palm.

Rhys looked at the Soul Eater Lock in Duroc's hand, and was almost speechless, because it was a high-level holy weapon of the Terran race after all!

"What do you say?" Groot suddenly recognized as if he thought it was funny, "You probably aren't awake yet! I'll let you sober up!"

He took out a knife from his black robe, only three inches long. He pressed the tip of the knife against Zhifei Xianglan's neck, only a fraction of a minute away from the artery, and lightly slashed the opening.

Bright red blood instantly overflowed from Zhifei Xianglan's neck and the junction of the knife, flowing down her collarbone and reflecting the collar red.

Although she tried her best to hold back, the sudden pain also made Zhifei Xianglan scream.

"Don't!" exclaimed Duroc

Rhys nervously moved towards Groot, but soon noticed a stop.

"What do you want me to do?" Duroc said aloud to Groot in front of him.

"It's easy!

Duroc did as he asked, slowly extending a chain in his right hand, like a man extending an unusually long arm. Don't stop until you reach the other person.

"Good!" the Groot clasped his arms around Zhifei Xianglan's neck, one hand grabbing the dangling chain.

"When I place the Soul Eater Lock in my body, you will release all of the Soul Eater Locks so that I can absorb the Soul Eater Lock. But—" Groot looked at Duroc with a vicious gaze, "If you dare to play tricks, I can kill her at any time!"

Duroc nodded knowingly: "Yes!"

"Alright! Let's get started!" he said as he used the knife that cut Zhifei Xianglan's neck to cut a bloody wound in the palm of his hand.

He placed one end of the chain on top of the bloody mouth, and in an instant the chain burrowed into his body like a yellow eel in a hole, constantly moving from one end of Duroc to the palm of the Groot.

However, to everyone's surprise, the Groot suddenly pulled out, and his entire hand was also withdrawn. Zhifei Xianglan took advantage of his relaxation at the moment, and ran from going out to Rhy's side at once.

"What's the matter!" Duroc asked.

But that Groot was speechless, because he was dead. The appearance of death was extremely terrifying, the entire face was almost completely sunken in just a few seconds, and the eyes were seriously bulging and bloodshot, as if they were about to explode.

Even if it's dead, it's still pumping. Maybe it's because the muscles aren't dead yet, or because Duroc retracts the Soul Eater Lock.

Zhifei Xianglan covered her eyes with her hands, because she didn't want to see the face of Groot in front of her again.

Duroc descended from the stone platform and walked towards Zhifei Xianglan and Reese. Seeing that Duroc was safe and sound, Zhifei Xianglan's tears were like bursting the embankment. The two hugged tightly, and Duroc gently pressed the bleeding spot on Zhifei Xianglan's neck with his hand.

At this moment, even Rhys couldn't help but wipe the tears that suddenly left in the corners of his eyes.

When everyone thinks it's over, the dangers that lurk in the shadows come to the fore.
