Chapter 51: The Knife Man

In this way, Liu Xianyu and his party walked down with more than a dozen soldiers, Jade held the ball of light and Ikatriis walked in front, and they didn't go far before they came to the stone gate with all kinds of magical beasts painted again, Liu Xianyu took out the golden eagle coat of arms and opened the stone door, as the stone door slowly opened, a strange fishy smell came from inside, and when the stone door was fully opened, the soldiers standing in front were stunned by the scene in front of them.

There were several corpses lying in the wide hall, blood was flowing all over the ground, several soldiers rushed in to check the corpses, Liu Xianyu and they also followed into the stone gate, looking at the corpses on the ground Liu Xianyu felt a chill down his spine, and most of the expressions of these corpses were full of surprise and panic.

[They were all killed by those skeleton soldiers?] 】

Jade asked in surprise.

[No, these wounds are definitely not what those skeleton soldiers can do with broken copper and iron, you see that these wounds are basically one-hit kills, either in the throat or directly through the chest, they should be caused by sharp and thin weapons. 】

A soldier said to Emerald after observing the corpse.

Liu Xianyu, who was next to him, couldn't help but think of what the system said before after listening to the soldier's analysis.

[Are these all made by that knife man? 】

[Hey, there's still a road here!] 】

A soldier stood at the small door on the side of the hall and shouted, and in an instant all the people walked over, behind the small door was a long passage, and there were torches lit at intervals on both sides of the passage, and a group of people followed the passage through a passage of less than ten meters before coming to a dimly lit hall. The size of the hall is so large that it is impossible to see the whole picture with the torches alone.

[Look at me!] 】

Jade raised her hands to increase the brightness and volume of the light technique, and the ball of light in her hand instantly became like an incandescent lamp illuminating the entire hall, and the first thing that caught Liu Xianyu's eyes in the hall was a tall statue, and the statue shone with golden light under the light.

【…… Statues made of gold? 】

Jade looked at the statue in front of her in disbelief, the statue more than two meters tall exuded a charming light, Jade could guarantee that she would never mistake the luster of gold.

Unlike her, Icatelis focused on the surrounding walls, which were carved out of hundreds of holes like honeycombs, each with a white skeleton lying inside, and many of the holes were empty, I don't know if they didn't exist in the first place or had been knocked out by Icatelis outside.

[Is this a grave? 】

Looking at the statue in front of him, Liu Xianyu heard a prompt sound from the system in his mind.

Ding Ding Ding Dong ~ Complete the real-time quest Golden Eagle Emblem to get the reward protagonist points x10.

Liu Xianyu looked at the statue in front of him and couldn't help but think of the story that the old man had told him and the Jade General before, the heroic prince and his army.

[Stupid Jade, do you remember the story that the old man told us before? 】

Liu Xianyu secretly touched Jade's side and said to her.

[Hehehe...... As long as you bring this statue back, you can live without working for the rest of your life......]

Jade was still immersed in her own obscenity, and she didn't hear what Liu Xianyu said at all, until Liu Xianyu stretched out his hand and shook it in front of her eyes, and she suddenly woke up.

[I definitely didn't think about secretly putting the statue into the space props! 】

In a silent and empty space, Jade's words were particularly loud, and everyone around them fell on Jade's body for a moment. Feeling the needle-like eyes of everyone, Jade said curtly:

[Just telling a joke...... Ease the mood...... Ease the atmosphere. 】

【…… Please, wipe the saliva off the corners of your mouth before you say that. 】

Liu Xianyu reached out and pressed his slightly painful temple and pointed at the corner of Jade's mouth, Jade quickly stretched out his hand and wiped the corner of his mouth twice, but there was still a covetous expression on his face, and his eyes still drifted to the statue from time to time.

Liu Xianyu told Jade what he had just said again, and Jade thought for a while after listening to it, and then nodded:

[So that's the case, it's very likely that this is the grave of the soldiers who died in the battle to defend Black Mo City, so the statue in the middle is the black prince? 】

Jade glanced at the statue's face and muttered in a low voice:

[It turns out that the princes are not all handsome...... It's better to be Captain Salted Fish. 】

Liu Xianyu next to him couldn't help but say in his heart after hearing it, "Actually, I am also a prince in a sense."

Just as a group of people were exploring the huge room little by little, a soldier suddenly clutched his throat and fell, and soon his companion next to him also fell, until three people fell in a row, and finally someone noticed the problem.

[Someone has fallen, everyone is on alert!] 】

The sound echoed in the wide room, and Liu Xianyu and the four of them also heard this warning, only to see a soldier opposite them suddenly holding his neck and struggling to fall, and Liu Xianyu didn't even see the enemy during the whole process.

【What's ......】

[I can't see anything!] 】

[Hmm! 】

In just half a minute, more than a dozen soldiers all fell, and only four people were left in the spacious room.

[How...... What's going on? 】

Jade was still thinking about how to secretly take the statue away for a while, even if it was to knock a piece down secretly, when she suddenly found that all the soldiers around her were dead.

[I'm afraid what kind of long-range weapon the enemy used, Jade quickly add a shield!] 】

Jade listened to Liu Xianyu's words, and hurriedly brushed a layer of earth protection for each of the four people, at this time, the ears on the top of Tangerine's head suddenly trembled, and then the bowstring in Tangerine's hand loosened, and a feather arrow shot out like the air opposite, and the air that should have been nothing suddenly flashed a ripple, only to hear the sound of "bell", and the feather arrow was blocked by something.

Liu Xianyu saw this scene and knew that the thing blocking the feather arrow must be the culprit who slaughtered the soldiers, but unfortunately his movements were still a little slower, and nothing hit when the wind blade swept by.

[Beautiful reaction, but I didn't expect that there would be a member of the demon clan in your team, and you would be able to find me. 】

Liu Xianyu looked in the direction from which the voice came, and a vague figure gradually appeared from the top of the statue, with a simple cloth coat and sharp eyes, it was the Taidao man who gave them the Golden Eagle statue as a reward before.

[Is that you?] 】

Jade looked at the man in surprise and said.

[Wait a minute, we don't have to fight, we healed your eyes a few days ago!] You can't take revenge! 】

Jade said as she waved her hand.

[I didn't want to kill you, otherwise I would have done it a long time ago, and I wouldn't have left you ......]

Before the man could finish speaking, an invisible wind blade slashed through the statue's head, interrupting the man's words, and the man rolled over and jumped off the statue, landing steadily on the ground.

Jade looked at Liu Xianyu who was still swinging his sword in surprise, he didn't expect Liu Xianyu to take the initiative to attack the man.

[We have accepted the task of protecting them, and since we have failed to protect them, we must at least avenge them!] 】

This is the first time Liu Xianyu has seen someone die in front of him, he has been protected by the Queen of the Spirit Clan for 18 years, and so far his worldview is still stuck in the legal society of the previous life, and he is really angry in the face of the man who kills people in front of him without blinking.
