Sylvid extinguished the torches, and darkness plunged them around.

Yongdao was very quiet in the darkness, at first, no one heard the voice that Alyssa said, but soon, a vague voice suddenly came from Fang Yuan's ears. From under their feet, from somewhere underground.

The voice seemed to have penetrated a barrier before reaching everyone's ears, and it was so subtle and indistinct that it was difficult to hear its contents, but it was still possible to tell that someone was speaking.

And it's not self-talking, because self-talk doesn't need to pause in the middle, and it doesn't need to wait for someone to give feedback, so it's easy to tell the difference. This means that there are at least two 'people' below, and it is of course unclear whether they are or not.

By this time, several people had gradually adapted to the dark environment. Red stretched out his paw and pointed ahead, and everyone nodded, in that direction, it was the entrance to the staircase that Alyssa had found earlier.

The sound came from below.

Alyssa gestured to the others, meaning, "Do you want me to go down and have a look?" ”

Fang Yu also forgot about the secret door at this time, and only nodded.

Alyssa bowed her head in response, then silently crept against the wall, disappearing into the staircase entrance. The crowd held their breath in the darkness, listening to the sounds coming from below intermittently, but getting closer.

Just as Fang Yu began to worry, Alyssa's deliberately suppressed voice came from the communicator: "It's safe down there, you can also come over." ”

Fang Yu looked at the others, motioned for the big cat man in heavy armor to stay behind, and then asked Parker to open the way in front and also walked in that direction. The staircase down is not too long, but it is only more than ten steps, and the structure below is somewhat peculiar, it is a square hall.

The hall was pitch black, and it was not clear what the use of the hall was below, and the staircase did not actually lead directly to the hall, but to the cloister above the hall. When Fang Yu and the others came to this place, they understood why Alyssa said that this place was safe.

For the voice came from the hall below—

The other party obviously didn't realize that there was someone overhead, so the conversation continued at this time.

"Rollin, I believe you are faithful to your faith, but some fanatics are not." The voice was hoarse, like something in his throat, slowly and laboriously squeezing out each word with the act of swallowing.

Just the first name that the voice said made Fang Yu increase his attention.

"It is foolish for that man to try to throw aside the power of Lord Deloon and fight Bahamut on his own."

"But there are people who are always blinded by greed, and I even suspect that he didn't tell us the truth from the beginning."

Fang Yu was greatly taken aback.

Who is the person Rollin is talking to? And who is Deloan? Bahamut was the protector of the dragon, he knew that, but listening to the other party's tone, the former seemed to have the power not inferior to that of this dragon god, could it be one of the dark saints?

And who is the person in the other party's mouth who is trying to fight Bahamut with his own strength, not to mention that he can't beat it, but as long as the other party is not arrogant to the point of limitlessness, how can he have some strength to dare to go against a real god?

There was a light in the darkness.

Originally, the square hall below was a cross-shaped intersection, with a passage at each exit in the southeast, northwest, and northwest, and at this moment the light was shining from the south, gradually outlining the rubble and dust in the hall.

The source of the light came from the magic wand in the hand of a rickety old man. And Fang Yu looked at the staggering and trembling old guy, and couldn't help but be surprised, who was that not the master of potions?

How did Kopudra become like this? Fang Yu looked at the other party's pale and aged face in the light, his flabby skin was covered with criss-crossing wrinkles, and compared to his time in Van Rik, it seemed that he had aged at least twenty years in just one month.

And the other party's voice was so unfamiliar that Fang Yu couldn't believe it.

The young man in front of the old man, with the light on his back, Fang Yu couldn't see the other party's appearance clearly. But just looking at his figure, and the conversation between the two of them before, he could also recognize that it was Luo Lin.

But what's going on with the conversation between these two people? It seems that the interior of the Dragon Worship Sect is not as close as imagined - Fang Yu couldn't help but have a thought, could it be that this is where the differences between Nicol Bolas and the Dragon Worship Sect come from?

The light gradually seeped into the hall, and the people in the hanging porch stepped back a little, hiding in the shadow of the railing.

Below Luo Lin stopped and said, "Master Pudra, are you afraid that I will reveal these words when you say this?" ”

"You won't reveal it," Pudra sneered as he looked at the young man, as if he wanted to see through it, "I know the exchange between you and him. But he can't give you what you want, think about it, would you be tied to someone who is doomed? ”

Rollin was silent and did not answer.

Pudra continued: "You have paid so much, how can you trust your success in the hands of an arrogant man? In fact, you know very well that when it's time to abandon the car and jump ship, you won't hesitate. ”

Rollin turned around, and Fang Yu saw his face clearly—the other party had not changed much when he was playing against Van Rick, but he didn't know if it was because of the light, and his face was a little pale.

Luo Lin smiled slightly: "Well, I really don't care who I take refuge into." But how can I believe that you are the ones who will win? ”

"You don't have to believe it," replied Pudra, "we are not in a hurry to ask you to do anything, you just have to watch, I believe that you are a smart man, Lorraine, and will make your right choice then." ”

Rollin looked at the old guy and asked word by word, "What do I need to give?" ”

Pudra put his hand to his mouth, coughed heavily, looked up, and replied, "You know what you need to give, but this matter is risk-free for you, isn't it?" ”

"There's nothing risky in this world," Rollin said lightly, "Well, I see what you mean—"

As he said this, he raised his hand, put his right hand on his heart, and maintained this motion, and said, "If you want to see if it is true, then I will show you." ”

A black light shone through the space between his palm and chest.

For a moment, it seemed that even the light of the magic wand in Pudra's hand was suppressed.

Fang Yu stared at Luo Lin's eyes tightly, and when Luo Lin lowered his eyelids and opened them again, a pair of golden eyes appeared in the darkness.

Just like the rehearsal at the Earl of Sirin-Sbicca Manor, Fang Yu suddenly felt his heart jump heavily, and a scorching sting pain came from the Ring of Golden Flame.

It was like a burn in the chest and a hole was burned.

The feeling was fleeting, and he didn't even have time to tear it open with his hands, and the next moment, everything was like an illusion—the ring of golden flames was still cold against his chest.

It's just that at this time, Luo Lin below stopped suddenly.

He looked back in one direction—not the direction where Fang Yu and the others were—and the black light in his hand disappeared, and his pupils returned to their original color. He looked into the darkness in that direction and asked with some confusion:

"Did you hear anything?"

Pudra apparently heard it too.

The old man turned slowly, pointing in that direction with the light of his wand.

Next, Fang Yu also heard it—it was a rustling sound, like countless tiny creatures crawling on the ground, the sound from small to loud, from far to near, and soon became clear.

Under the light of the magic wand in Pudra's hand, a shallow layer of black liquid oozed from the southwest corner of the square hall, under the square tiles of the floor that should have been tightly sealed.

The liquid was growing more and more, occupying more and more space, accompanied by a louder and louder rustling sound—like a swarm of ants, black and overwhelming, and soon filled a corner of the hall.

Before Fang Yu could recognize what it was, he heard Luo Lin's somewhat surprised voice below: "Ashes? ”

“…… How did they end up here? ”

Before he could finish speaking, there was a loud bang from under the floor of the hall, like a purple flame bursting out from under the stone bricks. In the purple light of the fire, a huge shadow swooped down towards Rollin and Pudra.

Pudra bore the brunt of the blow, and was swooped down by the shadow. He screamed, and his entire upper body burned, and the temperature of the purple flame seemed to be extremely high, and in an instant, the Potions Master was reduced to ashes.

Rollin obviously didn't expect this to happen, but he reacted quickly, only glancing at Pudra, who still had a few bones left—immediately backing away, then turning and fleeing the way he came.

The purple flames swept through the Potions Master and then turned towards Rollin, but Rollin retreated just in time, and it only slammed headfirst into the entrance of the square hall. Its sheer size was much larger than the entrance to the underground hall, and what looked like a flame-like energy form seemed to have a physical form.

The collision shook the hall and sand and gravel tumbled, but the other party failed to catch Rollin.

Fang Yu could see it clearly from the hanging corridor, and the flame monster below seemed to be familiar, except that it was not in human form, it was somewhat similar to the flame figures he had seen fighting with Lady Lya.

How terrifying that thing was, he had seen it with his own eyes, and Lady Léa, as a dragon knight, was still beaten by three flame humanoids and could barely fight back. What's more, the current 'flame monster' is at least several times the size of the three flame humanoids in terms of size.

Not to mention that when this flame monster appeared, the black liquid that Luo Lin called 'ashes' under the ground did not disappear, in fact, they were gushing out like a black fountain from the place where the flame monster appeared.

And they actually 'buzzed', and suddenly flapped their wings and flew up, and the target came straight to Fang Yu and his party.

Fang Yu was horrified in his heart, it turned out that those tiny black 'liquids' were actually countless insects that were so fine and dense that they couldn't be counted, as for what they were doing here? Certainly not to welcome them.

Fang Yu immediately didn't think about it, summoned the energy angel, and made it open the blue absolute shield.

Black insects swooped down all over the sky, crashing into the blue shield like sand, and the indestructible light blue absolute shield actually flashed a blazing white light almost like lightning and thunder under this impact.

Fang Yu only saw that his core mana was descending like a cliff in a straight line.

"What the hell is this!" Parker's voice changed in fright—because he was in a line, the others could clearly see the current state of the Angel.

Fang Yu didn't look back, and pushed Sylvid behind him hard with his backhand, only shouting: "Run——! ”

The light blue shield flashed, then vanished.

The black insects in the sky pounced on the Angel, and a purple-black flame immediately erupted from its body, and the solid alloy flowed down from the Angel like molten wax.

In the blink of an eye, an expensive alien sword-wielder was reduced to a broken part.

When Fang Yu saw this scene, he dared to slacken, and immediately summoned the second energy angel and opened his shield again.

He didn't dare to look back, not knowing if the others had obeyed his orders and had escaped the hall. But after he opened his shield, he was about to turn around and evacuate, and even took out a fire djinn on the side, preparing to blow up the passage.

But just after taking a step back and entering the closed-loop command in the Fire Giant Spirit, all of a sudden, Fang Yu felt a purple light flash from the corner of his eye.

A huge force came from behind him, and the hanging corridor made a loud noise of disintegration in an instant, and it collapsed. Fang Yu only felt that under the impact of this huge force, the whole person flew up at once.

In the midst of the whirlwind, he seemed to faintly hear two exclamations coming from that direction, including Sylvid's voice.

Fang Yu reacted at this time—it was the purple flame monster, and his attention was completely focused on the black bugs, but he forgot that the monster had turned its target to him after pursuing Luo Lin.

Then he slammed to the ground, the clockwork fairy in his hand unsteady, and flew out.

The closed-loop command in the falling fire djinn automatically took effect, and the moment it touched the first object, the bright light of fire exploded. And the purple light was falling from mid-air, just swept up by the flames.

The shockwave from the explosion once again blew Fang Plover out - Fang Yu activated the unstable mode of his newly acquired shield device at the last moment, and a shallow arc of light saved his life at the last moment.

He only felt himself bump into something, but the cushioning of the shield made it seem like he had fallen into a ball of fluffy cotton. Then it bounced back again, and it came into contact with the ground.

But this contact, at most, only made him bruise and swollen, and it didn't kill him.

He looked up just in time to see the purple flames in the smoke and dust turning in the direction of Attila and Sylvid again. He didn't think about it, so he immediately took out a fire djinn and threw it at the other party.

Another explosion.

In the enclosed environment underground, the explosion shook Fang Yuan's internal organs and turned the river and the sea for a while, and his ears were buzzing, and his eyes were straight. But it was all worth it, for he saw that after the smoke of the explosion, the purple flame monster finally turned towards him.

Fang Yu didn't think about it, got up and staggered and fled in one direction. He had already fallen into the hall below, and as for the loss of his sense of direction in the explosion, he couldn't tell the direction for a while, so he could only flee in the direction he thought was safest.

But before he could take two steps, he couldn't help but cry out bitterly.

Because behind the smoke and dust ahead, it turned out to be a dead end.

Fang Yu immediately turned around, but as soon as he turned around, he froze in place, and it turned out that the purple flame monster had already chased after him, blocking his path from behind. The other party is huge, and he does not give him room to escape from the left and right at all.

Fang Yu could only retreat, and after a while, his back was against the cold wall. He looked up a little nervously, and then he realized the true appearance of the flame troll not far away—

It was a dragon.

Or rather, a dragon that has shrunk in size. But there was a big difference from his impression of Nicol Bolas, Torragotos, and even Milleusmis—the biggest difference being that the other had seven horns and three eyes.

The one in the middle of it, in the case of the changing flames, opens and closes from time to time, giving people a sense of uncertainty.

But Fang Yu didn't know why he encountered the same monster in this place as he had seen in the Hall of a Thousand Gates, and what this purple flame was, and An Luoser was also vague about him at that time.

All he said was that they were nightmares.

But what the nightmare is, Fang Yu didn't know.

The dragon-shaped monster was approaching, its heavy steps striking at his heart. But the monster didn't seem to be in a hurry to kill him, otherwise with the agility of the other party, he had already followed in Pudra's footsteps on the aisle.

Fang Yu swallowed a mouthful of saliva, subconsciously picked up the crystal, and said in a low voice: "I can't escape, don't look back, minimize the loss...... See you on board. ”

"Ed."

It was Sylvid's voice.

But Fang Yu didn't dare to answer, in fact he was holding his breath so nervously that his throat was gurgling. The flaming dragon-like monster suddenly lowered its head and approached his chest—the same place near the Golden Flame Ring, to be exact.

Fang Yu subconsciously took a step back, although he was already stuck to the wall, there was almost no way to retreat. But as soon as he strained his back, he heard a soft 'click'.

The voice was so clear in the dark underground.

In that instant, Fang Yu realized what was behind him—he had found the secret door on the map that they had found before, as if he had been blessed with a blessing to his soul.

It turned out to be here.
