Duroc pulled out a white wooden stick from the cloth bag he was carrying, a tongue of fire. He lifted the lid of the stick and blew tongues of fire ablaze.

In an instant, the light spread to every corner of the cavern, which Duroc had been completely out of touch since entering, with the ever-increasing flames. The space of the cave is not very large, at most it is only more than 200 square meters, but there are more than 100 people in it. Living or dead.

Everyone was tied to a pillar of stone, and their bodies were weak. These pillars seem to be natural stone pillars, without any traces of carving. But it neatly surrounds the very middle of the entire cave - a stone platform more than a meter high.

The stone platform is diamond-shaped, with each edge pointing in one direction. However, this stone platform is not as rough as the stone pillar that binds people, but is carefully carved.

And on the stone platform lay a man lying flat, this person was not like those who were tied to the stone pillars, covered in wounds, but just lying there peacefully.

Duroc suddenly realized the sound of the water droplets that had just attracted him, and he raised his head to look at the top of the cave.

So, I was shocked. He had never seen anything so cruel in his life, and he almost rushed to the top when he saw it.

At the top of the cave, there were four people, and there was no doubt that they were dead. They were nailed to the roof of the cave. As can be seen from the gentle diamond-shaped part directly above the roof of the cave, the roof of the cave has been carefully carved. And corresponds to the stone platform below.

And the four men were nailed to each edge, and Duroc didn't know who had nailed them so cruelly, let alone the purpose of the other party's actions.

Duroc lifted his arm and wiped away the cold sweat from his temples. Then walked over to one of the men who was tied to a stone pillar, as Duroc had heard the man's slight gasp. A living person can always provide some clues.

But just as Duroc was about to get closer, the surrounding light suddenly became brighter, starting directly above the tunnel that Duroc had just entered, and the small holes neatly arranged in the rock wall became brighter one after another, until they turned back to the starting point.

Duroc suddenly stopped, and there was a stalemate.

"Mr. Locke, you can't do that!" the voice came from behind him, a loud and powerful voice that echoed through the empty cavern.

"Who!" Duroc was very alert, and the moment he turned around, the long knife in his hand was already pointed at the man behind him.

"Who am I?"

"Groot!" Duroc realized that the person in front of him turned out to be a Groot. His dark brown wings fluttered lightly and conspicuously, and his white hair fluttered under the urging of the dragon's wings.

Groot in front of him was very young, almost seventeen or eighteen years old, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and a high nose bridge.

Straightening up, staring at Duroc at the moment.

"Yes! It's Groot!" replied nonchalantly.

"What about my friend?" asked Duroc

"They?" Groot in front of him smiled softly, "You don't have to worry, you will be able to see them soon!"

"What have you done to them!" Duroc roared angrily, his body trembling uncontrollably from his excitement.

"Rest assured, they're safe! because ......," Groot said, raising the corners of his mouth. "I still need my husband's help!"

"What do you want to do! Are you all doing these people?"

"What are you doing?" Groot turned his gaze to the stone platform in the middle of the cave, and then walked over again, and said leisurely as he went, "Do you know the Suolan family of the Terrans?"

Seven hundred years ago, this family, the Terrans, was one of the most prosperous Terrans. But just seven hundred years ago, it disappeared for unknown reasons......" Duroc paused, "Could it be!

"That's right! it's the Suo Lan family of Proud City!"

"How is that possible!"

"But it's true!" said Groot, walking around the diamond-shaped stone platform and over to the man lying flat on the platform. Pointing to the man's head, he said, "Do you know who he is?

Duroc leaned over, and in a brighter light than the fire tongue just now, Duroc finally saw the person in front of him clearly. It is Suo Lan Qingyin's father, Suo Lan Qing!

"These people should all be from the Suo Lan family!" Duroc couldn't help but say

"You guessed it right!

"Why? Why do you do this!" Duroc suppressed the anger in his heart.

"Because of a secret!" Groot shook his hand, gently stroked the edges and corners of the stone platform, and said, "The secret of the Suo Lan family!"

"What's the secret?"

"I'll tell you when you're done with what I told you!

"What do you want me to do?"

"It's easy!" Groot pointed at Suo Lanqing and said, "Kill him with your knife!"

"Why?" Duroc was puzzled, if he wanted to kill the patriarch of the Suo Lan family, in this situation, the other party should be able to do it at any time!

"When you're done, I'll tell you!"

"I don't want to do it?"

"Aren't you worried about your friends?"

"Of course!" replied Duroc, "though you have many things that you don't tell me, I want you to answer me two questions. ”

"What's the problem?"

"First, why do you blame Miss Suo Lan for all these things?"

"Well?" I didn't want to do that at the time, but the rumor of finding her should help me find her faster!"

"Second, how are you sure she'll come to me?"

"That's what he told me!" said Groot, pointing his fingers at a pinned man on the east side of the diamond-shaped corner of the cave roof.

"Good!"

"You can do it, sir!"

"No way!"

"Why?" Groot frowned, puzzled, "Isn't that easy?"

"Because ......"

Just as Groot waited for Duroc to answer, Duroc moved. His knife was drawn almost unbelievably and then pressed against Groot's jaw in front of him.

"I wonder if there's a bargaining price for this?" Duroc asked

However, Groot in front of him did not panic, but calmly replied, "Sir, do you know that you are doing a dangerous thing?"

"I don't know!"

"Then I'll tell you!" Groot raised his voice, "If your knife had come any closer, one of your friends might have died!"

Hearing this, Duroc immediately withdrew his long knife, but his eyes were still fixed on Groot in front of him.

"You're smart!" Groot couldn't help but laugh, "I like to deal with smart people!"

Duroc threw the knife in front of Groot and said, "I'm going to make sure my friend is safe!"

"You don't have the conditions to negotiate!"

"I think I have!" replied Duroc firmly.

At that time, Duroc had no bottom in his heart, but in order to ensure the safety of Xianglan and them, Duroc had to do it. PS: Ask for a review
