The monster that appeared just now left a deep shadow on everyone.

"It's the sentinels, and more of the same kind may be lurking in the shadows. Distribute the Dream Flower and give it to everyone to eat. Guo Jia gave an order with a serious face, "Everyone must eat."

What was sent to everyone's hands was a kind of small petals that had dried up, just like a chrysanthemum that had been put away for a long time, which had a little sweetness and fragrance in the mouth, and it was very obvious to relieve the headache and negative emotions just now.

Xiao Yan looked around while chewing on the free dream flowers, only to see Gao Ran's eyes in a trance and wandering, Yan Liang and Wen Chou's faces mixed with anger and fear, Zhang He polished his spear without a glance, and looked ready to fight desperately.

Unknown places, unknown enemies, maybe the next moment will be surrounded by hundreds or thousands of monsters like that, suffocating in disgusting, slimy tentacles.

"Ugh! No, no, no, no! Jia Ladia, who was beside Xiao Yan, shook her head violently, it seemed that she had just fantasized about something.

After eating the dream flower, Xiao Yan felt that he could still hear bursts of moaning, but the symptoms of the headache were significantly alleviated, and the whispering voice did not seem to be as offensive as before.

Since the monsters did not continue to attack, the survey team left the sentry post to continue to rest in the established shift order.

Xiao Yan found a flat ground and lay down, the faint voice in his head no longer seemed to be a slurred whisper, as if he was saying something, but he couldn't hear it clearly.

After resting like this for a few hours, Guo Jia woke everyone up again, and continued to set off after making simple preparations.

In addition to the five strong men, the other soldiers of this fifty-man investigation team were equipped with muskets and heavy armor, and there was no shortage of various detection and defense equipment. They set up a stealthy Detection Crystal and monitored it at all times every distance they advanced, so that they could be aware of the presence of large groups of enemies in the back road.

The buildings in this majestic underground city are quite old, but because they are underground, the erosion is not too bad, and the frescoes on the walls and ceilings of the building are still visible, providing a lot of information.

"Downward, deep underground."

The more I moved towards the center of Emmanleyer, the more the voice that lingered in my ears became clearer.

Xiao Yan wasn't sure if others could hear it, the only thing he could trust was Galadia, so he quietly asked her, "Did you hear that?" The voice became clear. ”

"Yes," Galadia nodded, "a voice is calling us to the depths of the earth. ”

The temple in the shadows got closer, and as it approached the core of the dungeon, the message conveyed by that voice became richer.

"Sacrifice to the Lord of the Void."

"Surrender to the Lord of the Void."

"The Lord of the Void will bestow you with unimaginable power."

"Go deep underground to find your destiny."

The staccato words reverberated clearly in the brain.

"It's so quiet here!" Yan Liang carried his spear on his shoulder, "That kind of monster is nowhere to be seen, not to mention, other creatures don't even have a shadow, it's really boring." ”

"Is it really good to set up a flag like this......" Galadia, who was following behind, raised her eyebrows, "When monsters of all sizes will spring up from all directions, don't regret it~"

"Hahaha, hahaha!" Yan Liang turned his head to look at her, and laughed embarrassedly twice, "If you are really surrounded by monsters, there is no difference between me saying it and not saying it." ”

……

In the dark underground, you can still barely see through with the light provided by glowing objects such as crystals and crypt mushrooms.

After crossing a stone bridge, Guo Jia's team came to a platform.

"Squire! The temple is in front and we can see the passage. Wen Chou, who was scouting in front, suddenly shouted loudly.

"Very good, Yan Liangwen Chou, take people up, enter that temple, and lay reconnaissance equipment around it. We'll see if we can get some clues here. Guo Jia saw that there were finally some signs of obtaining information, and he also came to the spirit.

From where everyone stood, the silhouette of a large building could be faintly seen, standing in the darkness ahead.

"The crystals are brighter here." The two soldiers who had left the queue for reconnaissance fumbled along the light on the side of the road, "Brighter than we had seen before." ”

"Maybe it's some kind of glowing mushroom." The other soldier covered with him, approaching the light source in front of him.

The glowing body in the darkness is in the shape of a ball, like a streetlamp on the side of the road, emitting a soft and warm white light, which makes people want to get closer to the past.

"Soldier, don't get too far from the queue." Zhang He glanced at the two soldiers and the light.

"Yes, Captain." When the soldier heard the commander's words, he turned his head and prepared to return, but he felt a sense of loss in his heart, as if leaving the light was like leaving a loved one, and he could hardly move his steps.

"Ahh

"Hey, hey!"

The marching queue suddenly became noisy, and the Scout noticed his comrades not far away, their mouths wide open, waving their arms and weapons at them desperately.

"How?"

Before the soldier could speak, darkness fell over his head.

"Spread out! Kill it! Zhang He was also taken aback. Behind the gentle light, a large mouth two people tall suddenly opened, and the white fangs were stacked on top of each other, swallowing the two soldiers in one gulp, and disappearing into the darkness before the others could attack. The warm light also went out at the same time, leaving a blurry shadow in front of the eyes, as if a huge object flashed by.

"Grunt~" With the sound of a piece of rubble rolling down, there was a sound in the darkness like a person swallowing food.

All that left the place where the two soldiers were standing was an endless darkness, as if nothing ever existed.

Everyone in the team was stunned. The huge mouth that appeared just now was completely beyond everyone's comprehension.

Zhang Gaolan raised the torch and threw it out, but the thing that swallowed the soldier had disappeared without a trace. There was only a deep cliff left near where they had stood, and the fire could not reach the bottom at all.

……

The terrified investigation team searched in vain, but found no trace of the missing soldiers and monsters.

As a last resort, the investigation team had no choice but to continue to enter the temple. After passing through the open vestibule with hundreds of huge stone pillars, the group came to a magnificent circular main hall.

In the center of the main hall is an altar with a five-pointed star. Each of the five corners is a large egg-like object. The shell of the egg looks like a rock, very smooth, cold and hard.

"Don't touch, don't come close." Guo Jia stretched out his hand to stop Yan Liang and Wen Chou, who wanted to go up to find out, "Everyone first check the murals and stone slabs around us, let's see if we can find some useful records." ”

The sergeants immediately scattered in all directions, erected the detection and lighting crystals, illuminated the place as if it were daylight, and began to carefully inspect the walls on all sides.

Just then, a familiar hint came.

"Contractor, you have entered the key location of the Lost Ruins, please explore them locally. The outcome of your quest will directly affect the success or failure of your Extreme Breakthrough mission. ”

Xiao Yan's heart was shocked, the hint of space finally came, and it seemed that he had finally come to the right place.

The power after breaking through the extreme value was only experienced once near the end of the previous world, and once you have it, you can't let go of that powerful feeling. Thinking of the possible losses caused by the failure of the mission, Xiao Yan's heart turned up with anxiety and panic.

He tried his best to suppress his restlessness, and explored the surroundings with a few other contractors.

"Right here."

"You will gain unparalleled power......"

"Just pay the price."

The whispers that echo in my head no longer make people feel irritated. Xiao Yan even got used to this feeling a little.

He searched by the wall, thinking to himself that the whisper must have something to do with the mission.

Galadia tugged at his sleeve suddenly. Xiao Yan found that the girl was looking up and staring up, so they looked up together.

In the dim light, the contents of the mural are faintly recognizable.

"You're reading a mural of the Emanleyer civilization."
