237. The Truth of the Temple
After the billowing smoke and dust dissipated, the entrance to the passage had completely collapsed. Gao Jin only got up from the ground at this time, and his heart was at a loss, not knowing why the monster possessed by Lance still controlled the rest of the people, let alone why they asked why they were in such a hurry to leave.
"Damn! It's all your fault! Aurora had already regained her original appearance, and with one hand, she ripped off the human skin mask on her face, and her body turned into a cloud of black mist, which disappeared from the spot in an instant.
Gao Jin suddenly knew that it was not good, but it was too late to explain. I saw a figure flashing in front of me, and the dagger in Aurora's left hand had been slashed in front of him. Almost instinctively, he cast a spirit walk, dodging to the right back.
The black dagger swept over Gao Jin's head, but the dagger in his right hand followed.
While dodging the first attack, Gao Jin had already taken out the Ice Spirit Blade from the storage space. There was no time to think, the body reacted instinctively.
"Bell!" There was a crunch. The two daggers, one black and one white, briefly collided, and Gao Jin and Aurora jumped backwards at the same time.
Aurora suddenly turned into a cloud of black mist in the middle of the leap and disappeared again. In the next moment, she appeared on Gao Jin's left side, brandishing her dagger and attacking Gao Jin again.
"Stop, listen to me!" Gao Jin shouted loudly while scrambling to deal with it.
However, Aurora's attack was quite fierce, and his figure flashed and disappeared from time to time, and Gao Jin did not fight back. Therefore, for a while, Gao Jin was in danger everywhere, and several times the dagger was swept through the vital part of the neck, and he was almost in danger of dying on the spot.
Fortunately, Aurora didn't really want to kill Gao Jin, so when the dagger was blocked again, she suddenly crouched down and swept out.
Gao Jin was caught off guard at all, and suddenly fell to the ground with an unstable footing. Before he could roll over and get up, a dagger in Aurora's right hand was already in his heart. It only takes a little force to pierce the heart and kill him instantly.
"I really didn't expect your strength to improve so quickly!" Aurora put away the dagger and reached out again to pull Gao Jin up from the ground.
Gao Jin gasped for a moment, relieved his mind, and then complained, "Is there a mistake!" I can't stand the way you greet me. ”
"Make no mistake. Let me ask you, how did you get here? What is the purpose? Did you send you here? Say, be honest! Aurora looked serious, but it looked like she was pretending.
Gao Jin patted the dust on his face and said, "What purpose can I have, this time it's pure coincidence!" Do you know Han Mei, the eldest lady of the Han family? She asked me to come here. ”
"Han Mei? She asked you to come? Aurora blinked, looked Gao Jin up and down, and said suspiciously, "When you picked her up just now, she seemed to be intoxicated, and she didn't have the slightest fear at all." Could it be that you and her? But isn't your girlfriend that Zhang Min? ”
"Where did you go? I can't say anything about Han Mei in a sentence or two, but it will definitely not be what you imagined. Gao Jin said angrily.
Aurora showed a look of disdain and said, "I hate flowery men the most, especially men like you who are not very handsome. ”
"I ......" Gao Jin almost jumped up and scolded, but he still held back, sighed lightly and said, "Actually, this is how it happened......"
Gao Jin explained simply, saying that he didn't know Han Mei's identity, and began to think that she was just an ordinary co-tenant, and the two happened to rent the same apartment in Lingjiang City. Later, she recognized her identity for some reason, and she has been entangled by her since then.
Not long ago, Han Mei came to him again. At that time, Han Mei said that her family was about to have an expedition and needed a powerful bodyguard, so she thought of Gao Jin.
Originally, Gao Jin didn't want to agree to Han Mei, but he was afraid that she would continue to pester herself, and Han Mei also said that as long as she helped her this time, she would not appear in Lingjiang City again in the future, and she would not continue to pester him.
"That's why I'm here." After Gao Jin finished speaking, he looked at Aurora and then asked, "Now you can tell me how you ended up here, right?" Is it to deal with those flying snake monsters? ”
Aurora nodded slightly, she clasped her hands on her chest, and said, "Although I don't believe that the eldest lady of the Han family will take a fancy to such a kid as you, I can't ask her now, so I can only listen to you for the time being." ”
She looked at the watch in her hand and said, "Anyway, there is still a little time, so I'll make it clear to you." Since they have encountered each other, they must work together to destroy the monster first, and then talk about other issues. ”
This place is not actually an underground temple, and there is no kind of life fruit that can increase lifespan. It's actually an underground bunker, an underground city built during the Cold War to prevent a nuclear attack.
It's just that the city was destroyed many years ago, when there was a very powerful monster - Hydra. It took over the place and transformed the city into its old nest. Most of the workers involved in the construction were killed, and the military was forced to abandon the area through the constant killing.
Later, the Western Spirit Realm discovered the situation here and sent detectives to eliminate the Hydra. But the hydra is very difficult to entangle, because it has nine heads, and all nine heads must be cut off in order to possibly kill the monster.
At that time, it took a lot of effort for the spirit detectives to cut off all nine heads of the hydra. But the snake body without a head has actually become an immortal body, and its head has been able to recover automatically.
In desperation, the immortals of the spirit world could only make a move and use the Five Elements Demon Extermination Seal to seal the body of the hydra in this place. And a large number of electric energy laser killing arrays were arranged in various passages leading to the underground city, making it impossible for outsiders to enter here.
But thirteen years ago, an earthquake struck this place, and a crack appeared on the outside, and then it attracted many curious explorers. Of course, they can't enter this place, and the light net at the entrance will kill the intruder in an instant.
I don't know when, the secret of this place was learned by the five major families. They sent a large number of people to explore, but they didn't find anything and didn't pay much attention to it.
Until a year ago, the rules of the optical network at the entrance were somehow changed. The conditions for the trigger of the optical network have been changed, so that the original order prohibiting one person from entering has become a ban on eleven people from entering. And the five major families don't know how to hear what kind of temple is in this and what kind of fruit of life there is.
The leaders of these big families own almost everything in the world. But they can't have a long lifespan, and prosperity and wealth are just a passing thing. As soon as I heard that I could have nine times the lifespan, I was crazy, and there were many consecutive explorations and data collections.
By the time the Western Spirit Realm got the situation here, the Five Great Families had completely sealed off an area of fifty kilometers from here, forbidding anyone to approach it. Heavy troops were also placed at the entrance, and all unknown people who approached were killed.
In order not to cause unnecessary trouble, the Western Spirit World sent Aurora to become the personal guard of Miss Miranda of the Gandhian family. Then take the opportunity of this expedition to sneak in and check the seal. And also set up an illusion to make the people of the five major families think that the fruit of life has disappeared, and this place is worthless to them.
"I saw you here, but since you don't recognize me, I don't intend to ruin my plans. Unexpectedly, the sudden earthquake triggered the light network, and the flying snake monster appeared again. After that, everything is no longer my previous arrangement, and I can only take one step at a time. Aurora pointed to the last remaining exit from the stone chamber and said, "The reason why the monster didn't blow up this passage is because it was full of murderous inside. ”
Gao Jin obviously heard that Aurora didn't tell the truth, so naturally he didn't want to get to the bottom of it. Because some things did concern the secrets of their respective spiritual realms, he knew that Aurora could not tell them directly.
However, there was still a question in his heart that he had to figure out, so he asked, "Aurora, what is the Five Elements Demon Slayer Seal you just talked about?" Isn't it amazing? Did the monster capture the five of them just to open the Five Elements Demon Slayer Seal? ”
"If I said no, would you believe it?" Aurora said with a pout.
"I don't believe it." Gao Jin shook his head.
Aurora ignored Gao Jin and raised her left hand to herself. I saw the rings of Saturn on my wrist shining brightly, and suddenly a square light curtain came out of it.
"What is this?" Gao Jin stared at it, and exclaimed, "You have a map, why didn't you take it out earlier?" ”
"Don't make a fuss, okay, can this thing be taken out casually?" Aurora rolled her eyes, not bothering to pay attention to Gao Jin's surprised gaze.
I saw that in the light curtain was a map of the entire underground city, but it was just a simple three-dimensional line drawing, outlining the structure of the entire underground city with green lines. It even indicates the four directions of southeast, northwest, and northwest, as well as the height of the horizontal position.
And in the lower left corner of the city in the light curtain, there is a red point of light flickering. Looking at the style of the outer lines, it is the stone room where the two of them are currently located.
The two passages to the east and west of the stone chamber have been blocked and are not shown in the lines of the map. But at the end of the passage to the west, there is a small red photoelectric that is moving rapidly, and has now left the passage area and seems to be moving through the city.
"What's the deal with the little red dot?" Gao Jin knew that it might be a monster, but he couldn't help but ask.
Aurora saw the path of the passage to the south, put away the light curtain, and replied casually, "I put a tracker on Miranda." Don't tell me, you didn't put one on Han Mei. ”
"This ......" Gao Jin felt a huge chill in his heart, and his face became very embarrassed.
"What a daredevil. Alas......" Aurora rubbed her forehead and made a look of headache.
