Chapter 31: The Giant Gecko
Dean and his party had reached the top floor of Elysium at this moment, and everyone had fully imagined this mysterious place that the outside world could not know about. But when they opened the door, they were still startled by what they saw.
In front of everyone's eyes, there is a dark and dim underground cave, except for a slightly flat path in the middle of the cave for people to walk, surrounded by stones of different shapes, including the cave roof is also densely hung with sharp stalagmites. Although there was no gust of wind here, everyone still felt a chill coming from the depths of the cave. The most amazing thing is that the cave, which was supposed to be pitch black, was full of fireflies. These fireflies swarm and bring a glowing green light to the cave.
If it weren't for the words "Go 2" written on the ladder, Dean would have thought that he had not gone up, but had gone deeper underground. Looking at the strangely shaped stones around him and the glowing glow of fireflies, Dean felt like he was in a dream.
Anne on the side almost never played her cards, and did not show any fear of the scene in front of her, but began to catch the fireflies around her with great interest. And Leon, who has always been calm and calm, also showed a little amazement in his eyes.
No matter how strange the decoration taste of this Gangdi is, the financial resources consumed to turn a place in a high-rise pavilion into an impermeable underground cavern are already staggering.
Dean touched his nose and snorted, "Is this the so-called money so much that there is nowhere to squander?" ”
Leon on the side looked into the depths of the dark and damp cave and said calmly: "I think this shouldn't just be a personal hobby, the road ahead is unpredictable, it's better for us to be careful." ”
Dean also thought deeply about this, after all, the characters who could dominate the West City couldn't have built such a place just for fun. With that gentleman's caution, this is probably just a level.
The three of them began to move forward slowly, and the fireflies flew everywhere around them, making the light in the cave become stronger and weaker. The seeping green light shone on the moist strange rocks of various shapes, like terrifying underground creatures.
When it comes to the various functions of the body, Dean, who has been tempered by dragon blood, is definitely beyond ordinary people. Although he can't have the ability to recover from metamorphosis like a Heavenly Martial Artist, when it comes to the sharpness of the five senses, even a martial artist in the Little Heavenly Martial Realm can't compare to it.
Dean's figure paused slightly, then glanced at Leon quietly. Leon was so careful, his heart sank, and he felt something strange around him.
Behind the three of them, there was a slight movement of Suosuo, and it was gradually gathering to the left and right sides with them as the center, forming a semi-circular encirclement. Dean and Leon didn't look back, they just felt that the number of things behind them was increasing, and that it wasn't coming well. The two of them continued to walk forward, not daring to act rashly, for fear of alarming the unknown little things behind them. But it's not a good idea to keep delaying like this, and if you wait for these little things to surround them, then it will be difficult to run away again.
Just as the two of them were about to turn around at the same time to take a look, Anne seemed to notice something strange behind her, so she glanced back. This look really scared her. I don't know when, behind the three of them, there are already dense strange geckos!
These geckos are about four times larger than normal geckos, and each one is covered in a lime-like protective color. One by one, they were huddled together, and the scalps of those who watched were numb. The geckos seemed to notice that they had been spotted by Anne, so they stopped following them carefully, and after a slight pause, they rushed at the same time.
Individually, these little things are just big geckos with a row of sharp teeth, but they attack together in such an astonishing number. Even if it's a first-class martial artist, if you meet it, you have to run away.
Although Dean has rough skin and thick flesh and is not afraid of these sharp teeth, the little girl and Leon around him are fine skin and tender meat that is good for wine, and if he doesn't run, he can only be gnawed to the flesh and blood.
Dean lifted Anne's lithe body onto her back, carried the little girl on her back and began to run wildly. Leon had never figured out how to spell animals, so he had to follow Dean into the depths of the cavern.
The geckos crawled fast, biting at the distance between the three Dean and themselves, not giving them a chance to escape. During this time, Dean once released the coercion of dragon blood in his body. But those little beasts were not afraid, and the situation of dragon blood suppression was not good in the past, only happened to some powerful beasts. Dean wondered in his heart: shouldn't a small thing like this turn a blind eye to the dragon's breath?
Despite their doubts, the two of them did not stop at all, and Dean and Leon soon ran to the end of the cave.
At the end of the cave is a crimson gate with two giant geckos painted on either side of the gate. Dean flipped Anne upwards, freed his hand, and quickly attached the dragon armor. His feet continued to accelerate, and he smashed a punch at the door with his breath like a rainbow!
Bang!
After a loud bang, the dark red door was directly smashed open by Dean! Dean rushed headlong through the door, Leon following closely behind. The two didn't have time to close the broken gate and continued to run. After the two of them ran a few feet away in shock, they found that the giant geckos behind them were gone.
Dean didn't put Anne down immediately, but cautiously looked at the gate not far away. Although the door had been smashed by Dean and left wide open. But the geckos stopped in front of the door one by one, and the geckos that had not had time to stop behind were huddled together with the same kind in front. As if the door wasn't shut, it shut them out.
After waiting for a while, Dean realized that the geckos really couldn't climb in, and finally put Anne down. When she was running for her life just now, Anne was a little dizzy from the bumps, and squatted on the ground looking uncomfortable that she wanted to vomit but couldn't.
Leon stayed where she was to take care of Anne, while Dean slowly walked through the door.
Countless geckos crowded the door in front of them, but the first few never dared to cross the dark red door. These geckos looked at Dean in front of them, not only did they all grow their mouths showing rows of oozing sharp teeth, but they also kept making "huh" sounds from their mouths.
Dean crouched down and held a hand out the door. The stone-gray geckos immediately jumped up and opened their mouths to bite them. However, these gecko teeth were clearly not sharp enough for Dean's arm. But even if they couldn't succeed, these guys kept biting Dean's arm like starving ghosts who hadn't eaten for hundreds of years, which showed how fierce they were.
Dean jerked his hand and grabbed a giant gecko, then pulled it back into the door. The other geckos who were still biting Dean's arm released their mouths at the same time and hurriedly retreated. The gecko that was pulled in let out a scream, and its body writhed violently. But just after tossing for a while, his neck was crooked and he died.
As the gecko was caught inside the door, Dean noticed that the gecko pattern on the dark red door was shining slightly, and turned his head to look at Leon behind him.
Leon frowned and said, "The pattern on the door should be some kind of formation, and the gecko that passes through the door will withstand the force of the formation and die." This kind of formation against a certain creature is much more mysterious, and I don't know where Emperor Gangdi got it. ”
Dean poked the dead gecko's corpse with his hand, picked it up and threw it out the door. He clapped his hands and said, "I've never seen this creature, its skin is as hard as a stone." It's so treacherous, it's no wonder there's so much dust on this cable ladder. If I were that female assassin, I wouldn't be happy to come up every day to greet Emperor Gang. ”
Leon nodded and said, "Well, that woman's identity is secret, and it is estimated that she rarely comes up." ”
The two of them looked around and noticed that the scene inside the door was much more normal than outside. It is a square space made of smooth stone bricks on all sides, and the remaining three walls are lit by firelight except for the entrance.
Dean walked over to the wall and touched the smooth stone bricks on the wall, revealing that they were all made of the hardest basalt. Leon also began to wander around the house, looking east and west, hoping to find a little doorway.
But the two tossed for a long time, but still found nothing. Now Dean finally knew why the geckos at the door, although they were afraid to enter, still tirelessly piled up at the door and waited. It was a confined space, and Dean knocked on all the bricks, but still didn't find anything like a secret door.
Just when they were both at a loss, Anne, who was sitting in the corner, suddenly screamed.
Dean and Leon quickly turned their heads to look at Annie, who had already left the corner, and Nieko was covering her mouth and looking at the corner in surprise. Soon, Dean and Leon understood what was going on, and it turned out that the wall was starting to move inward.
…………
In the depths of the top floor of Elysium, a middle-aged man who was not tall walked slowly towards an empty hall with one hand in his hand. This man is very ordinary-looking, with short hair, and the humble smile he always wears on his face is enough to make people think that he is a very kind person. But he was obviously a kind-looking man, but he wore a pair of very reckless riding boots, and the sound of heavy footsteps kept echoing in the empty hall.
The middle-aged man walked to the center of the empty hall and slowly looked up at the giant gecko statue in front of him, which was more than ten zhang long. There was a large golden seat on it, on which a tall man about his age was sitting, drinking wine.
The tall man in the seat looked condescendingly at the faithful servant who was bowing to him, and did not speak.
The middle-aged man, who was not tall but was feared by all the residents of Izna City, said calmly: "Master, according to your orders, I have just seriously injured the leader of the Mountain Eagle Gang, Max Kenchi. Then deliberately let him go and brought this back. With that, the middle-aged man stretched out the hand behind him.
In that hand was a severed arm, the cuffs of which were embroidered with the motif of six mountain eagles.
The tall man nodded and looked at the red wine in the glass with a drunken look. The corners of his mouth hooked an arc: "It's going to be very lively tonight." ”
