Chapter Seventy-Four: The Passage

"Really?"

Caesar answered, the end of the tail closed into a tail ling, shook the tail, and pumped directly towards the standing ancient orc statue.

"Bang."

The sound of the collision was not harsh, but rather a little dull, and the tail cone that the black dragon drew over did not destroy the sculpture, nor did it suffer from the expected reaction force and rebound from the collision.

The stone statue is still intact.

Of course, this is not normal, not to mention how an ordinary stone statue can withstand the blow of a dragon like Caesar, just its shell that has stood for thousands of years but is still shiny is enough to make people suspicious.

Looking around, everything else in the ruins has long since weathered into slag, and even well-preserved buildings are like papier-mâché that shatter at the touch of a papier-mâché, but this stone sculpture is as fresh as it is cast, hard and immortal.

"It seems to have magic spreading."

Luna flapped her wings and circled around the black dragon's head, she was a little unsure, and said tentatively, "Caesar, you ...... Try again? ”

So the black dragon flicked his tail and smacked it again, during which he noticed that his orc dependents' faces were not very good, and their green faces were slightly reddened.

This is normal and reasonable, if it were Caesar and found that other creatures were destroying their sculptures like this, they would probably be directly furious, and the Stone Crow Clan was already quite enduring, and they were indeed sincerely loyal to him.

Luna's eyes widened, staring at the behemoth sculpture the size of a mountain to her, concentrating.

As before, when Caesar's tail swept against the sculpture, he did not feel a noticeable collision, as if the power had been absorbed and dissolved.

This feeling is a bit like the elemental barrier facing the mage before, but the feedback given to him by the stone statue is much softer than that of the elemental barrier.

"Sure enough."

Luna exclaimed, "Caesar, this sculpture is ...... A hidden magic item! ”

Caesar's eyes flashed, and the greedy nature of dragons came back to him, and after hearing the little guy say that it was a magical curiosity, the black dragon horse rose to covet it.

However, you don't have to think about it to know that this is a related item.

In the guidance given to him by Sifu, the "Immortal Statue" was followed by the "Burning Flame" and the "Hidden Gate", and it was impossible for the Black Dragon to hesitate here in order to find what the old wizard had really prepared for him.

Pushing back the rising greed, the black dragon flapped its wings and flew into the sky, opening its mouth wide above the sculpture.

The orcs and gnolls hurriedly stepped back.

The next moment, roaring flames roared out, completely sweeping the area, igniting all combustibles, causing the place to rise in flames and black smoke.

After more than ten seconds, the lifelike majestic sculpture began to melt gradually.

Caesar was quite self-aware, knowing that to melt such a huge granite statue, it would take at least thousands of degrees of heat to continuously burn, not to mention ten seconds, even if he was given a day, he would not be able to do it himself, and his current spit weapon did not have such power.

The sculpture melts on its own after exposure to a large area of searing.

It now does not seem to be stone, but rather a wax figure, which has been burned by the flames and turned into hot stone, slimy and falling down, being absorbed by the ground.

The magic began to unfold in earnest, and as Caesar watched, a seal with runes inscribed on it appeared on the surface of the ground where the statue stood, and when the stone statue was completely melted away from the flames, a rusty iron door appeared.

Behind the stone statues, there is a hidden door, and the steel door faces the dome and lies across the ground.

The black dragon folded its wings and landed slowly.

The gate was unbelievably wide, large enough to accommodate dragons larger than Caesar's, and the black dragon tapped lightly on the iron door, and the steel carried the residual heat of the flames, and there was a hollow echo from inside.

The steel gate was empty underneath, not filled with dirt.

Caesar couldn't help but wonder what a gate of steel that had been carefully hidden by the orcs meant.

Perhaps thousands of years ago, when the Orc Imperial Fortress Lord was about to leave, he decided to hide his vast wealth and disguise it, and possibly drew up a map for posterity. Unfortunately, over the long years, the treasure map went through several rounds and finally came to the lucky black dragon......

That's enough! This is not the Count of Monte Cristo! Besides, if it is really a treasure, when the Stone Crow Clan can't even eat, the old wizard has already led the orcs to dig it, how can it be his turn?

"Hidden doors connect the world."

Caesar cautiously examined the steel gate beneath his feet, and the annotation left by Sifu ended there, and the black dragon was unsure of what this so-called "world" was and whether it was dangerous.

The bottomless abyss? Bartow Hell?

It shouldn't be, no matter how high the wisdom and ability of the old wizard is, due to the strength limitations of his own archmage, he should not be able to touch things at that level.

Moreover, Caesar also led the orcs of the Crow Clan, and if there was really a great danger hidden in them, Sifu would never let them go, or even guide them there.

Thinking about it, the black dragon gently pushed.

Without effort, and without thinking about sacrifices and other rituals, in the hoarse sound of metal rubbing, the steel door suddenly opened, and the fine wind immediately blew on Caesar, and there was a dull darkness below, and the smell of decay filled the black dragon's nostrils,

There is air flowing, and it seems that there is more than one exit inside.

"Caesar, the magic is escaping."

Luna blinked, "That magical artifact was destroyed and disappeared." ”

The black dragon was a little distressed, but this emotion only flashed in his heart, he didn't know the specific purpose of that magic item, and if he wasn't familiar with it, he naturally wouldn't care too much.

The darkness overwhelmed them, and Caesar was the first to burrow into the great hole.

In the dark vision of the black dragon, the passage was wider than the entrance of the cave, enough for him to turn around. The two walls and the ground were carved and polished directly in the limestone, and although the texture of the stone is rough, the flatness is surprisingly high, and it seems that the original excavators took great pains to find this place.

In some places, there are still reliefs carved on the rock walls, but most of them are shoddy and the images are ugly, and it seems that the passages are also from the hands of orcs

- Human dwarves and elves would not allow such a humble skill.

The terrain of the passage is getting lower and lower, with the foot of the black dragon, he walked for nearly ten minutes without seeing the end, at first he was cautious, guarding against the traps that might appear in the tunnel, but later found that it was a complete waste of time, and the orcs with a tendon could not think of doing such a thing at all.

"In this case, I'm afraid I have to go to the bottom of the earth, is Eladia round? Drill out from the other end? ”

The black dragons from the New World were whimsical, the passages were steep, and they were constantly descending, but the air was still full, and the gnolls and orcs didn't seem to be uncomfortable.
