Chapter 497: The Final Hour (2)

Hiss -

In front of the platform where the Book of Gold was placed, a blood-red, covered with dark spots, with a spike of head and tail gushing out of the ground, and two long tentacle-like whiskers poking out of its vague head organs, and although it was impossible to see exactly where its eyes were, everyone felt that the other was staring at them as if they were treating their prey.

"Death Worm Hazar!"

Someone suddenly screamed when he saw the appearance of the monster in front of him.

Death bugs, also known as sand worms, a legendary ancient and dangerous creature that haunts the desert Gobi, their shape is very strange, the mouthparts densely covered with jagged fangs can not only spray a highly corrosive and poisonous liquid, and even take advantage of the prey when it is unprepared, and the eyes of these huge blood-red bugs can also shoot unknown energy currents to directly hit distant targets, which can instantly make the injured fall into a state of paralysis and unable to move, plus its skin is solid, ordinary blades can not break through its defenses at all, In case of danger, they will sneak into the sand and escape, so it is often extremely difficult to kill the death bugs.

In the historical literature, the Death Bug was mainly active in the period between the Age of the Gods and the New Faith War, and there are very few records of the Death Bug after the Age of the Cataclysm, most scholars believe that the Death Bug has long been extinct, and only a few people believe that there are still traces of the Death Worm in the Great Desert of Sarania, but no one has found it so far.

The Death Worm that appeared in the Land of the Inheritance of the Treasure of the Holy Land was not actually a trap deliberately arranged by the Sarannian royal family, but belonged to an outsider who accidentally broke into the Holy Land, perhaps attracted by the energy of the Book of Gold. Without food supplements, it struggled to survive, and fell into a deep sleep under the platform. If it weren't for Xia Lan, they came. Sooner or later, it will die in its slumber, but the moment Sinosson stepped onto the platform, it woke up to smell the food.

When people are most hungry, everything is food, let alone a terrifying creature that has been hungry for countless years.

Of course, Xia Lan knew about the sleeping Death Worm on the platform, and he didn't tell Sinosson about them, because he had planned to use the Death Worm Pit to kill all the Black Camel Riders present, and although there were some unexpected changes in the process, fortunately the result went smoothly according to his plan.

The moment the Death Worm appeared. He took Winnie and Adrina to escape directly while the guards were stunned, and the black camel knights who found out about the situation actually ignored them, perhaps because of the strong indignation caused by the death of Sinosson, or perhaps under the influence of the Book of Gold, all the black camel knights desperately launched a fight against the death worms.

Escaping from the Golden Corridor and returning to the center of the gladiatorial arena, Xia Lan immediately closed the stone door, and there was one thing he didn't explain, this stone door could only be opened from the outside, and the people inside would never be able to get out.

System: Fully unlock the Legacy of the Sanctuary of Sarania (Required) (88% of current exploration progress)

Glanced at the quest hint. According to the full situation of the Holy Land told by the chief warlock in the second trial, he knew that in addition to the treasure inheritance behind the stone gate, there was another hidden mysterious space. This space was not elsewhere in the Holy Land, but under the platform behind the stone gate where the Book of Gold was placed.

He only needed to wait for the Black Camel Knight and the Death Worm behind the stone gate to be defeated before he entered the Fisherman's Benefit.

Before that, he had one more important thing to do.

"Aderina, your physical condition feels fine, right?" Xia Lan looked concerned and asked tentatively to Adelina who was weak and panting beside her.

"It's a little strange, obviously I've recovered some strength, but I can't mobilize the strength in my body." Adrina wiped the sweat from her forehead and said in distress.

"Really?"

Xia Lan reached out and stroked her little head, a gentle smile on her face.

"Well, you can get some rest."

As soon as the words fell, the hand knife that condensed the strong qi suddenly slashed at the back of Adelinea's head.

Holding on to the last shred of consciousness that was about to fall into darkness, Adelina looked at Xia Lan with a blank and confused look, as if she didn't know why he wanted to knock her unconscious.

Holding Adriana who was limp in her arms and gently placed her on the ground, Xia Lan's face was indifferent from unbuttoning her clothes, revealing the snow-white and delicate skin on her chest and abdomen, her fingers slowly slid on it, her eyes showed a kind of fanaticism and sickness like appreciating a work of art, a snow-bright dagger with cold light appeared in his hand, and the moment the sharp tip pierced Aderina's chest, he instantly put away the dagger.

"What do you want to do to my lord?!"

A voice with majesty and anger suddenly sounded in the gladiatorial arena, and at some point, the figure of Daniochen appeared in front of them.

Bang -

The body only felt a terrifying force full of murderous intent attacking, and Xia Lan, who was hastily defending, was bombarded on the wall of the gladiatorial arena and smashed a big hole, slowly sliding to the ground like a painting.

Danny Ochen snorted coldly, and hugged the disheveled and unconscious Adrina, anyone who dared to offend the dignity of our lord could not forgive, if it wasn't for Xia Lan who put away the dagger in a few moments, otherwise Danny Ochen, who found something strange, killed Xia Lan with one palm just now.

Yes, Charan is not dead, but it is no different from death.

The qi in his body was dispersed, his muscles were severely torn, his internal organs were severely damaged, and he didn't know how many bones were broken.

The sudden situation made Winnie stunned for a long time, and the first thing she did after she came to her senses was to walk towards Xia Lan, and Danny Ochen, who saw it in his eyes, did not stop him, because he didn't care about this insignificant woman at all.

After checking Aderina's condition and confirming that her life was safe, Danny Osin immediately prepared to cast a space-time teleportation, but the special enclosed space structure of the Holy Land caused a great delay in his teleportation, and he could not succeed for a while, so he could only pray that the Saranians outside could help them slow down the pace of the pursuit of the "Radiant Sanctuary".

Unfortunately, things often go in the worst direction.

"Danny Ochen! You can't escape! ”

If you don't see a human figure, you hear it first. An Ragon's menacing roar directly interrupted half of Daniosin's space-time teleportation.

Moment. Brilliance shone in the sky above the gladiatorial arena. Angel and Beavis arrived first.

The battle is on the verge of breaking out.

"Charan......

In the corner where no one cared, Winnie walked up to Xia Lan and whispered.

Xia Lan, who was covered in blood and spilled out, opened her blurred eyes, and he quietly looked at Winnie without saying a word.

"Are you going to die?"

Winnie crouched down and reached out to stroke his cheek, and there was an indescribable tenderness in her words.

"Are you happy?" Xia Lan opened her mouth, and her voice was like a mosquito.

"Yes, I'm happy, because only now are you like a normal person." Winnie smiled. "Normal people like me."

"You want to kill me?" Xia Lan asked again.

"Yes. I want to kill you, but I'm not going to let you die so easily. Winnie said.

"Can I ask you one last thing?" Charland Road.

"What's the matter?" Winnie said.

"Help me in the door." Xia Lan's eyes looked past her to the stone gate in the center of the arena.

"That Gate ......"

Winnie turned her head to see that the silent battle had already begun between Angel and Daniochen.

"It's dangerous, and I probably won't be able to help you."

"Is there a difference between dying early and dying late?" Charland Road.

"Nope." Winnie put her arms around his shoulders and lifted Charan up with all her strength.

"Why would you help me?" Xia Lan was puzzled.

"Do you need a reason to love someone or hate someone?" Winnie struggled to move forward.

“……”

Xia Lanmo was silent, he used to like not to ask for reasons because he didn't want to know, but now, others don't ask for reasons, he wants to know.

"I'll kill you."

"I know."

The stone gate is getting closer and closer. Winnie turned a deaf ear to him.

“……”

Xia Lan closed her eyes.

A strong gust of wind blew, and Winnie and Charan both fell to the ground.

"Take my lord and leave!"

Noticed that two reinforcements from the "Radiant Sanctuary" had reappeared in the gladiatorial arena. While protecting Adelina from harm, Danny Orchen, who fought hard against Angelagon, issued an order directly in Winnie Shalan's heart!

Does this count as sending sheep into the tiger's mouth?

Winnie looked at Adrina who let Danny Orchen lightly send her to the ground in front of the stone gate, but she still didn't stop supporting Xia Lan's footsteps.

Finally, they approached the stone gate, pushed it open, and entered the stone gate.

The golden corridor was a mess at this time, with gold bricks and blood stains scattered everywhere, and Winnie dragged Adrina and Xia Lan in and sat on the ground with her back against the closed stone door as if she collapsed, looking sideways at Xia Lan.

"You're not worried that monster is still alive and eating us?"

"There's no living thing left here but us." Xia Lan coughed painfully and said, "Take us to the Book of Gold." ”

"I'm afraid it's going to take a long time." Winnie stared blankly at the endless corridor.

"It's okay, I can wait."

Winnie stood up again, this time she no longer took the method of support, because it was difficult for the two of them to support at all, so she directly grabbed Xia Lan and Adlina by the back collar with both hands and began to drag step by step, but she was weak and had to rest and recover her strength every time she dragged a distance, otherwise she would not be able to hold on to the end.

The mutilated corpse of the Black Camel Knight was gradually found on the road of the long corridor, the air was filled with a strong smell of blood and pungent sulfuric acid, and through the corridor where the blades and armor were displayed, they were about to reach the platform where the Book of Gold was placed, and the huge blood-red corpse of the Death Worm stopped their progress.

"Leave Adelina behind and find a way to take me to the platform." Seeing this, Xia Lan immediately decided.

"What is there that is important to you? Even more important than the relics in Adelinea's body? Winnie asked.

"Unfortunately, you can't escape."

Without waiting for Xia Lan to answer, an unfamiliar voice came from afar. (To be continued......)
