In the dark, damp cavern, a group of ragged men were digging in the walls of the cave with rudimentary tools.

The group looked blank, their eyes empty and lifeless, like a group of walking corpses with only skin and no soul, and only mechanically and repeatedly waved their hoes and pickaxes in their hands.

There were a lot of rubble scattered under their feet, and there were some shiny pieces mixed in the rubble, which were clearly fragments of magic crystals!

Two knights in black armor sat on a pile of stones beside them, staring boredly.

"With this kind of digging method, this magic crystal ore will lose at least half..."

A black-armored knight sighed with some pain.

The person sitting next to him obviously had the same idea as him, and muttered: "Who said it wasn't, in fact, this matter is not very urgent, you can find more people to dig slowly, these guys are too clumsy..."

As he spoke, he turned his head and said to a black-armored knight standing with a sword behind him, "Rawls, what do you think? ”

The black-armored knight glanced at him indifferently and said lightly, "If you have any opinions, you can go and ask the Dark Priest." If it's just because you feel sorry for the magic crystal, I don't mind if you do it yourself, and I believe that the Dark Priest will definitely not object. ”

There was a bit of embarrassment in their eyes, and then they stopped talking to him, and stood up and walked together towards the outside of the mine.

The indifferent black-armored knight didn't pay attention to them, but turned and walked to the depths of the other side of the mine.

The black-armored knight soon saw piles of corpses, most of which were the corpses of wild beasts, foxes, rabbits, wild boars, brown bears, and the like.

The carcasses of the animals had all been drained of blood and discarded in a corner, and the blood was contained in a large wooden barrel, which was left open, making the already murky air in the cavern even more disgusting and smelling.

As for the clearing next to the barrel, a huge six-pointed star circle was drawn, and each corner of the circle was inlaid with a fist-sized black magic crystal.

In the center of the circle, a thin figure sits.

This figure was dressed in a black robe, and its long dark purple hair hung down to the ground, because it was facing away from the knight, so it was difficult to see the face, but the black-armored knight who had seen the other party a long time ago knew that the noble dark priest in front of him also looked very good.

"Is Gansel back?"

Pleasant sounds echoed through the mines.

"Not yet."

"When he saw him, he asked him to come to me immediately."

The black-armored knight complied, but his eyes flickered, as if he wanted to stop talking.

At this time, the figure in the center of the circle slowly turned around.

This is a very beautiful woman, no more than twenty-five years old, with a temperament that mixes the youthfulness of a girl with the charm of a mature woman, and is simply a creation of the devil.

"You must be asking what exactly we're preparing?"

The Dark Priest seemed to have read through the Black Knight's inner thoughts.

The black-armored knight nodded hesitantly.

The Dark Priest smiled and pointed behind the Black-Armored Knight, where there was endless darkness, and the sound of "clanging" digging kept coming from the darkness.

"An old monster that has been sealed and buried for nearly 10,000 years, Rivers. Otta, you may not have heard of his name, but in the history of known evil beings on this continent, he can definitely be ranked in the top hundred..."

Although the black-armored knight couldn't see his expression clearly while wearing a mask, his eyes showed that he was shocked.

You must know that the dark priest is not referring to a small Xilin Kingdom, but the entire God-given Continent touched by the forces of the Dark Holy See, no one can figure out how big the God-given Continent is, and the top 100 people in the history of the entire God-given Continent are definitely terrifying existences that can make the Xilin Kingdom turbulent by stomping their feet.

“... If such a guy can be rescued, it will definitely be a great help to the Holy See. ”

As he spoke, there was a hint of frenzy and anticipation in the dark priest's eyes.

The black-armored knight didn't show much excitement, but hesitated to speak: "However, such a powerful and evil being, will we join us because we opened the seal and saved him?" ”

The expression on the dark priest's face froze, and his attitude immediately turned cold.

"That's not something you should be thinking about. You go first, let those guys be honest, and if you're really idle, go around and see if you can catch some more people. ”

The black-armored knight could only nod and turn to leave.

"Found it."

Luo Yu came to the mouth of a hidden cave hidden by snow and trees.

According to the memories of Gansel and the others, this should be the location of the magic crystal mine he had been looking for.

There is no one guarding the entrance of the magic crystal mine, and it is indeed strange that there are people guarding such a wilderness.

Luo Yu jumped off his horse, and behind him, the six black-armored knights, led by Gansel, followed him silently and faithfully.

Luo Yu tried to use his divine sense to probe into the cave, but with the strength of his divine consciousness that was only cultivating the fourth level of qi now, he could only extend to a distance of more than ten meters around at most, and he didn't detect anything.

Luo Yu withdrew his divine sense and decided to proceed with the original plan.

The six Gansel were the first to enter the cave, and Luo Yu's figure disappeared into the darkness and quietly followed them.

The cave was deeper than Luo Yu had imagined, and a light gradually appeared in the darkness in front of him, and there seemed to be a faint scream from afar.

Luo Yu hurriedly urged Gansel and the others to speed up.

At this time, there was a sound of hurried footsteps ahead, and two black-armored knights ran out quickly.

"Is it Lord Gansel?"

Someone asked, and Gansel snorted coldly, and the two men immediately greeted him respectfully, and whispered, "The thing has been dug up, much faster than expected."

Because he didn't wait for the Lord to return, the Dark Priestess took the lead in starting the ceremony. ”

"Rituals? What ritual? ”

"Gansel" asked with difficulty.

The black-armored knight shook his head, apparently unaware of it.

Luo Yu in the back frowned, and couldn't help but scold Gansel in his heart for being an idiot, and he didn't even know the strange things that were happening under his nose, so that even he ignored such important information.

Immediately after that, the group walked briskly to the deepest part of the cave.

Soon, a large space appeared in front of Luo Yu's eyes, and the ground was full of scattered broken stones, as well as some small pieces of magic crystals, scattered all over the place, and no one picked them up at all.

At this time, Luo Yu became more and more sure that the Dark Priest and his party did not come here for the Demon Crystal Mine at all, but for another purpose.

After walking a few more steps, a miserable scream suddenly sounded in his ears, similar to what Luo Yu had heard before, all of them were the painful and desperate sounds of people before they died.

I saw that in the deepest part of the cave, a huge magic circle came into view.

The circle was constructed from ravines dug into the ground, and now all of them were filled with a thick, dark red liquid.

The air was filled with an extremely thick smell of blood, and the circle was surrounded by corpses.

There are animals and there are people.

The blood on the animals had dried up, apparently dead for some time, but the blood stains on those people were still fresh and warm.

When Luo Yu followed, he also happened to see two black-armored knights grabbing a man in ragged clothes with a black miner-like face, and directly cut off his head with a sword.

Blood spurted from the headless corpse, continuing to fill the ravines of the circle.

And next to the circle, a purple-haired woman in a black robe was watching all this excitedly...
