The pit Du Yuhan mentioned is actually a shallow groove embedded in the ground, about 20 centimeters long, and three are arranged around a circular step about one meter wide in the middle.

After studying for a long time, several people did not find any mechanism, let alone know the use of these shallow pits.

"Don't know?" Festin smiled coldly, "With your relationship with Kared, can you know?" ”

"Believe it or not?" The explanations over and over again made Du Yuhan annoyed, so he simply didn't bother to say anything.

"Oh, what does it matter if I believe it or not? All I need is for you to open this mechanism. With that, he tightened his arms again, and a groan of pain could be heard from his arms.

"You!"

"Do you want to think about it again?"

Gritted his teeth and glared at that hateful smile, burning anger churning in his chest. But he really didn't know how to open it, so he could only habitually turn his attention to Vic. The latter was strangled with his feet slightly off the ground, and could only try to stand on tiptoe to relieve the pressure on his neck, and had no heart to answer his problem at all.

Just when he was about to be anxious, Kevin, who had been silent, suddenly said lightly, "I know." ”

In the surprised eyes of everyone, Kevin pointed to the ground and said a rough idea.

In fact, the method is very simple, only three people need to stand on the shallow pit, and the teleportation circle will appear on the steps. But unlike the previous ones, this teleportation circle can only be opened once, and the defensive enchantment on the periphery will also be activated at the same time, which means that the three people outside have become cannon fodder.

"How do you know?" Du Yuhan asked quietly.

Immediately recognizing what the other party meant, Kevin smiled and pointed to his side, "They told me." ”

They? Seeing that there was nothing around him, Du Yuhan became more and more confused. Looking at Festin's frowning and thoughtful appearance, his face sank, and he could already guess who the three cannon fodder were.

The presence was divided into two formations, and the number of people on his side was just three, and with Festin's cautious character, this was just the right time to eradicate dissidents at the same time. He'd definitely keep Milne around, or at least push one to his death once he got in.

Just as Du Yuhan was worried about how to break the defensive barrier, Festin, who had finally thought about it, raised his hand and commanded arrogantly, "You go with me." ”

The bloated fingers stopped at his face, Du Yuhan twitched the corners of his mouth in disbelief, and couldn't help but compare his face.

"Me?"

The unexpected choice left the rest stunned. And Milne, who came back to his senses first, reacted particularly violently.

"My lord! That guy is in the same league as the enemy, how can you take him?! Ignoring his fear of Festin, he clutched the other man's robe, "If they join forces, you'll be in danger!" ”

Yes, it's too dangerous.

Whether it's a defensive barrier or a spooky priest......

He was the one who was brought in, how could he stay outside as a substitute for the dead?!

"Don't worry, it's okay." Festin patted him on the shoulder, "Don't you know my abilities?" At his level, it won't hurt me. ”

"So, what about me?" Trembling lips, Milne almost pleaded, "I've been serving you all these years, loyal to you, you, you're leaving me to die like this?" ”

"Don't worry, I understand your concerns very well." As if anticipating Milne's objection, Festin reassured him earnestly, "I have taken all your efforts to heart, and I believe you can feel that I trust you more than others." ”

"Then why are you-"

"I left you out in the hope that you could help me, and this is also a trust in you. When the danger inside is solved, I will meet you as soon as possible. After that, he glanced in Kevin's direction, intentionally or unintentionally, "Besides, that's just an elven priest who has no power to restrain chickens, with your ability, it's not easy to control the other party?" ”

"Nope! I don't want to stay! Unexpectedly, Milne not only did not let down his guard, but his face turned even paler, "I definitely don't want to be with him!" ”

The other party's excitement made Festin stunned, "Why?" He's just a pastor. ”

"He's not!" His face suddenly became as white as paper, and his features were displaced.

No, that guy wasn't a holy priest at all.

When Du Yuhan was devoured by the giant spider, he saw with his own eyes the elven priest who arrived later, and purple-black smoke was churning all around him. Although it was mixed with the smoke in the air at that time, he could not be mistakenly wrong with the cold and suffocating dead air.

This elf is a Shadowcultist!

With just one move, the insect beast was trapped in place, and the other members of the team were too busy to pay attention to these details, but they could see clearly in the rear. Later, the wounds on the giant spider's body also confirmed this - even with the cover of divine magic, the corrosive properties of the shadow elemental still corroded the hard shell beyond recognition.

Recalling the horrific images of that time, Milne felt the stench of rancid acid once again fill his nose, especially against the pair of black mist pupils, and his throat seemed to be tightly clasped by a pair of invisible hands, and his lungs were stinging like burning.

He shouldn't have followed.

When Fesdin killed the priest without blinking, he should have stayed and followed the leader to safety. Even if you have to endure the abuse and exclusion of others, you should not continue to follow this cold-blooded president.

No matter how much he paid before, he still couldn't escape the fate of an abandoned son in the end.

The screams drew sideways glances from others, and Du Yuhan was a little surprised by Milne's fear.

"What's wrong with him?" Looking at the facial features that were almost collapsed, an inexplicable uneasiness flooded my heart.

What kind of enchantment could make a high-level modeler so frightened? Could it be the "town spirit" that Kevin calls it? Thinking of his lover who also stayed on the periphery, Du Yuhan faintly had a sense of foreboding.

"I don't know, maybe I'm scared." With a casual glance, Kevin hooked the corners of his mouth at Milne with a smirk.

Milne, who came into contact with that smile, instantly breathed a little bit, and he staggered back in a panic, "No...... No! ”

"Are you alright?" Festin frowned, and impatience began to appear in his eyes.

"I'm not staying! I'm leaving! ”

"Calm down."

"Please! For the sake of my many years of service......"

"Don't panic, it's going to be fine—"

"Nope! You can't do this to me! I don't want to die! ”

Seeing that all the good words could not change the other party's mind, Festin suppressed his anger and sighed softly.

"That can't be helped."

"What?"

"I didn't want to be so rude."

Milne was stunned, his face changed suddenly, and he hurriedly urged his fighting spirit, and suddenly the bracelet was blue and bright.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

But seeing Milne, who was still frightened one moment ago, the next moment he moved all over his body, the tense muscles on his face completely relaxed, and his godless pupils quickly diverged, and he only stood there stiffly, like a puppet.

Puppet nodes!

The sudden change shocked people on the spot, and Du Yuhan's expression was even more serious.

In order to get the artifact, this person can kill the subordinates who have followed him for many years regardless of the consequences without even blinking an eyelid. Such a person will be a scourge sooner or later if he stays, so it is better to take advantage of the gap between the substitutions......

"Hmph, toast and don't drink penalty wine." With a cold snort, Festin's sluggish Milne stepped on one of the grooves. After settling down, he turned his head to look at a few people, "You, come here." ”

After quickly exchanging glances with Kevin, Du Yuhan walked over with a good flow, and the left wrist behind him emitted a faint black light.

It's a pity that Festin is not a fuel-efficient lamp, he squinted his eyes and arced a sneer, "Young people are impulsive, and they don't look at the actual situation. ”

What the?

Du Yuhan was stunned, and before he could react, he was pulled by the sharp-eyed Kevin.

"What's wrong?"

Kevin didn't answer, just stared straight ahead.

Following the other party's gaze, Du Yuhan suddenly found that Festin's left hand was holding a small object, faintly revealing a dark red, and he chuckled in his heart.

it! Could this be...... His node, right?!

"Young man, your eyes are quite sharp." Sensing the sight of the two, Festin grinned, simply stopped hiding, and turned over his hand to take out the object in his palm. But I saw a small round bead resting on it, glowing bright red.

Playing with the node carelessly, although Festin didn't do anything, Du Yuhan already felt a nameless pressure fall in his throat, and he panicked.

"Very well, since everyone has no objection to my decision, let's make a quick decision." Pushing Vic, who was no longer useful, forward, Festin frowned slightly impatiently.

They had spent too much time on the road, and they didn't know how many traps were waiting after this hurdle. Just now he forcibly activated the fighting qi, the tingling pain in his waist, and the sore muscles, all reminded him of his poor physical condition. The reason why he has been able to hold on until now is all due to his extraordinary will, and he must obtain the artifact as soon as possible.

Catching Vic who fell forward, Du Yuhan asked with concern, "How are you?" ”

Holding down the strangled neck, Vic coughed and his face turned red, and he could only wave his hand in embarrassment to show that it was okay.

But it is not Du Yuhan who is willing to be controlled by others. Although Festin is holding his node hostage, judging from his behavior along the way, the other party should want to use him to do something, and should not really take his life. If you give it a go, you can't ......

But just as he was about to make a move, he was grabbed tightly by the person behind him.

"Don't!"

There was a burst of pain in the wrist, and the force was so great that the whole arm suddenly became numb and weak. Du Yuhan looked at Kevin puzzled, and instantly met a pair of frightened blue eyes, "Kevin? ”

"Can't go, absolutely can't go." Contrary to the calm and calm of the past, Kevin's face at this time was quite pale, even if he deliberately concealed it, he still couldn't hide the panic on his face.

Du Yuhan was stunned for a moment, chuckled and tried to comfort, "Don't be afraid, I'll be very careful-"

"No way!" With a grim face, he refused, and suddenly found that Du Yuhan was stunned, and Kevin exhaled again, "Your node is in his hands, it's not time yet, don't be reckless." ”

"But you ......"

"I'm fine, really okay, trust me, don't be impulsive."

Seeing that the other party wrinkled his eyebrows and didn't say a word, Kevin sighed lightly, leaned over Du Yuhan, buried his forehead in the warm neck, and felt a strong and powerful pulse.

"Don't risk it, please ......"

The trembling tail sound made his throat sour for a while, Du Yuhan's eyes glowed with soft light, and he pressed Jin Can's head with one hand and rubbed it vigorously.

"Good, good, I believe I do."

"Huh?"

"But if I come out and see that you are missing a hair......" Du Yuhan narrowed his eyes dangerously and did not elaborate.

"I'm absolutely going to be unscathed." With the messy chicken nest head, Kevin was extremely serious, and almost swore to the sky, "Then you-"

"Don't worry, I haven't lived long enough." Du Yuhan muttered quietly, "With you, how can I be willing to die." ”

Hearing this, Kevin smiled softly. I was about to open my lips and give a careful instruction, but was interrupted by a mocking male voice.

"So, are you all done saying goodbye?" Festin stared at the two of them coldly.

Glancing at the other party, Du Yuhan raised his eyebrows, turned around and imprinted a light kiss on the corner of Kevin's lips.

"Wait for me."

With that, he walked towards Festeen without looking back.

At Festin's signal, several people stood in the designated position, while Du Yuhan stood on the circular steps with Festin. Seeing that everyone was ready, Festin gave an order and let Kevin step into the shallow pit.

When his feet stood in the groove, a huge magic circle appeared in the center, and his breath shone and disappeared several times. There was a loud bang, and a blinding glare erupted from the center of the steps.

Du Yuhan only felt that the heat around him was extremely hot, and his body was light, and he disappeared into the stone room in a blink of an eye. At the same time as the figure on the steps disappeared, the magic array quickly floated into the air, and in a few moments, it shattered into a room full of starlight.

In the next moment, the scattered beams of light that were originally wandering on the stone wall were rapidly converging on the ground, and soon, they were covered with flickering light and darkness. The terrifying faces were mottled and gradually blurred and distorted.

Although he had been mentally prepared, Vic was still scared and stiffened. He hurriedly stepped out of the shallow pit and grabbed the corner of Kevin's clothes. "Hey! What are you doing coldly? Find a way! ”

Raising his hand and rubbing the corners of his lips, Du Yuhan's temperature seemed to remain on his skin, and Kevin smiled unconsciously and closed his eyes to reminisce. When he opened his eyes again, his ice-blue eyes showed no hesitation, and a layer of thick black mist instantly filled the entire pair of eyes.
