"Squeak! Creak! Seeing that the master was angry, the dog also nested on the top of his head and danced his teeth and claws at Fishin, as if he wanted to breathe a sigh of relief for him. But this action of protecting the lord was fiercely despised by Du Yuhan.

"You're called a hairy scream! I haven't said you yet! As soon as he pinched up the fluffy white fur ball, Du Yuhan split his head and covered his face with disgust, and he expressed his dissatisfaction with the dog egg dropping the chain at the critical moment, "Illusion!" Where's your transfiguration? You haven't transformed once since Mao entered this enchantment?! Wasn't it majestic before? It's not good to get here! ”

For some reason, from the moment he entered the stone gate, the dog's spell was a little out of order. Except in the empty space of the giant spider, the transfiguration of any race and any body type cannot be used. The dogs who can't be transformed, in addition to selling cuteness on the side, can only add to the chaos, and the lack of this powerful help directly leads to their combat difficulty increasing by several levels.

"Squeak!" The dog narrowed his mouth, hummed aggrievedly, and looked at each other pitifully.

Again, you can't blame it. Every time it receives the will of its master and prepares to transform, an inexplicable powerful coercion will emerge out of nowhere, and all movements will be shackled brutally. However, the language barrier made it impossible to inform Du Yuhan about this, so it could only squeak and scream in a hurry.

"Shut up, I'm killing you." Throwing his hand away, the dog rolled to the corner, and Du Yuhan scratched the top of his head irritably.

Tut! If it weren't for this annoying president, how could there be so many things in life?

As if not paying attention to the cannibalistic gaze, Festin patted Milne on the shoulder with a smile, "I've been working hard for you lately, and I want you to accompany my injured person around." ”

"Your Excellency, you are serious." Milne was taken aback, stammered a few dry chuckles, and took a few steps back without a trace, "It's just a gesture, I'm just doing my part." ”

"Haha, don't worry." Only when the other party was a little restrained by the compliment, Festin clapped his hands and laughed, "Your loyalty has stood the test, and you have done a great job in this operation." When I return to the royal city, I will definitely report this matter to the city lord, and you will not shirk it again if you have a reward. ”

"No, I didn't mean that......" Milne was speechless.

If he had encountered such a much-asked opportunity before, he would have been ecstatic and thanked him repeatedly. But now, whenever he smiles kindly at the president, he involuntarily thinks of the unbelievable face of the pastor before she dies.

The unreserved trust that was once buried in the collapsed space along with the flesh and blood in the memory. At this moment, he only felt like a prey targeted by a snake, and a cold breath seeped through his body from his heels. This sense of crisis comes not only from Festin, but more importantly......

Swallowing hard, Milne stole a glance to his side.

Compared with Du Yuhan's resentment, Kevin next door was quite calm, not only carefully healing Du Yuhan's injuries, but also smoothing the aggrieved dog's hair. The hostages held in his hands didn't seem to have any effect on him, he still talked and laughed, and still went his own way. It feels like...... It's like—

It's like everything is under the control of the other party.

This strange thought flashed through him, and Milne shuddered with start, and involuntarily recalled some horrific images, and his expression became terrified. Festin's sympathetic smile paled in comparison.

Not bothering to pay attention to Milne's complicated thoughts, the two rested for a while, and then continued on their way, urged by Festin's chatter.

*****

The twisted corridor trembled, and the ash above the head continued to fall down, as if it was in danger of collapsing at any moment. Fortunately, the passage of this link was not too long, and after solving two or three traps one after another, a faint light appeared at the end of the road.

"Here we are." Du Yuhan breathed a sigh of relief.

From the moment I entered this corridor, my heart seemed to be pressed by some kind of heavy net, depressed and dull. He vaguely felt that this should be the coercion generated by the leaking energy, even if it was not strong, but the extremely unstable factors had been burning his nerves, and he was always worried that something would happen. Now it's finally coming out......

But even if there is only one last stretch left, it must not be taken lightly.

Just as he was thinking, a cold breeze blew through his pores, and before he could react, he saw a figure suddenly pass him and walk forward. Du Yuhan was stunned, only to realize that it was his lover who had been protected behind him.

"Kevin!" Three or two steps stepped up to grab the other party, Du Yuhan's tone was a little anxious, "Don't be careless, if there is any ambush, just-"

"Don't worry, it'll be fine." Leaving a light smile on his side, Kevin's expression returned to solemnity, reversing his previous caution and walking forward without hesitation.

was stunned by the sudden change in his lover's mood, even though Du Yuhan was still in the water, he still followed.

Strange to say, they didn't encounter any more traps along the way, I don't know if it wasn't set up in the first place, or because it wasn't triggered for other reasons. The group marched quite smoothly and soon came to the small stone gate.

A chill seeped through the crack in the door, and when he was wondering why the desert could be so cold, the stone door in front of him slowly opened to both sides without any external force.

Click......

The rough stone surface made a hoarse grinding sound, and several people couldn't help but speed up their pace and bent over to walk in.

Once you enter the stone room, it is like falling into an ice cave. An icy chill poured in from all directions, almost drowning people. A cold wind crept through the cracks in the clothing, and no amount of thick armor helped.

Rubbing his arms vigorously, Du Yuhan couldn't help but let out a sigh of white air. Looking around, a mysterious and familiar space reminded him of the cave of the Devil's Eye, the abnormal cold, the gloomy atmosphere, which were seven or eight points similar to here, but not the same.

Not to mention the bright purple incantations carved all over the walls, the sharp stone cones hanging overhead, what kind of thing is this human face carved on the floor tiles?!

If it's just a simple artistic decoration, you can look at the twisted and hideous expression, how terrifying it is, as if it was tortured and frozen in the moment before death. Stepping on the soles of his feet, he unexpectedly found that the touch was a little uneven and undulating, like stepping on a living human face......

Trembling hard, Du Yuhan's footsteps became cautious.

The characters on the stone wall flickered on and off, and occasionally a slender beam of energy swam by, and after a few quick laps, castration crept under the floor. Spots of light loomed, and seeping faces shone with fragmentary light. I don't know if it's an illusion, he always thinks that every time his face lights up, even the frozen eyes will always twitch and move slightly.

"What is this?" Forcefully pressing the pimple on his arm, Du Yuhan stood on tiptoe to narrow the contact with the ground.

What he didn't expect was that Kevin didn't answer immediately. I saw him close his eyes and meditate for a moment, as if he was listening. After a long time, he slowly raised his eyes and whispered, "Zhen Ling." ”

Spirits? Du Yuhan's sword eyebrows tightened.

He didn't know exactly what it was, but it didn't sound like a good thing.

Festin and Milne, who arrived later, were also speechless by the sight before them. But he finally remembered the purpose of this trip, quickly settled down, and immediately instructed a few people to find the link point of the space.

And Vic, who had been firmly controlled, suddenly stagnated his breath after seeing the environment clearly, and his wide-eyed eyes showed confusion, stunned, and understanding, and finally turned into a thick sadness.

You're actually ......

He tried to bend down and touch the face on the ground, but was strangled by Festin.

"Children, next time you move your head, you may not be able to find a home." Festin smiled kindly, his eyes cold.

After a deep look at the other party, Vic was very cooperative and quiet, only staring down at the floor, not knowing what he was thinking.

Seeing that the child was well-behaved, Festin hooked the corners of his mouth sarcastically.

That's the good thing for children, although there are occasional noises, but after a little scare, he becomes obedient, and it seems that his decision to hold Vic hostage at the beginning is quite correct.

He gestured to Milne, who was cowering behind him, "Please help find it." ”

"W-I'm going too?" Before he could recover from the visual impact, Milne's face turned white with horror when he heard the order.

"Don't worry, these are just some souls that have been drained of energy, and it seems that they have been dead for a long time, and they will never come back to harm people." There was almost inaudible disdain hidden in the thoughtful and comforting tone, and Festin smiled and patted the other party's shoulder and encouraged: "It looks scary, and it won't be too dangerous." ”

Glancing down, Milne cowered in fear. However, Festin's burning gaze made him even more creepy, and after weighing it again, he had to walk away tremblingly.

"Cut, waste." Secretly snorting coldly, Festin also lowered his eyes and looked at his feet, and suddenly felt a chill. With a hard crush under his feet, the inexplicable disgust was slightly suppressed.

Heading into a dark corner, Kevin crouched down, his eyes fixed on one of the faces. It was a young face, with half-length curls spread out, blocking the distorted features, but from the corners of the eyebrows and eyes, it must have been a delicate girl before her death.

"This is you?" With a soft light flashing in his eyes, Kevin stroked the forehead of the stone statue, "I followed my father out fishing that day, but I encountered a storm, and when I woke up, I found myself trapped here...... Is it? ”

No one responded to the murmuring murmur, but the beam of light from the ground just floated under the face, and the girl's wide round eyes flashed, and at first glance it looked like a thin mist of water.

Lowering his eyes and being silent for a long time, Kevin slowly stood up straight, and the moment his white fingertips left the stone statue, a wisp of black light escaped, "...... I understand. ”

"Who are you talking to?" Du Yuhan frowned, vaguely uneasy.

"It's okay, just talk to yourself." With a reassuring smile, Kevin changed the subject without a trace, "What about you?" Did you find any clues? ”

"There are no clues, this hellish place is closed on all sides, and there is not even a rat hole to be found, let alone a door." Du Yuhan pouted in discouragement, "But I found a few pits over there." ”

Kevin blinked.

"Pit?"
