Chapter 90: The Dark Prison

From the entrance, the width of the Soul Narrow has become narrower and narrower, and it is near the end of the tunnel, and it can only accommodate two or three players at the same time. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Fortunately, in this kind of place, the frequency of monsters has been greatly reduced, and it is no longer necessary to rush all the way to pass safely as before, the only thing that is more unacceptable is that the increasingly clamped rock wall renders the sense of suffocation more and more intense, and the uneasiness and tension become clearer.

However, this situation did not last long-when the narrow passage of the souls came to an end, and the abrupt rock wall appeared in front of them like a man-made passage to the top of the mountain, but this steep slope passage was enveloped by a haunting black shadow less than halfway up the mountain, and the world on the other side of the mountain was completely cut off from the world where the undead lived.

"Here we are."

Although Huang Tianzaixia, who was in the same company, had been shouting and shouting since just now, in the face of such a strange scene, Yu Zhihan did not show any unexpected emotions from beginning to end. Just when everyone was wondering what to do next, the mage had already taken out one strange prop after another from his backpack and was busy with himself.

… Remember the items you got in the cold rain at the grave of the deceased at the Cross Hill?

In addition to the Spiral Staff of Annihilation and the many spell-casting materials he now held in his hand, he had also received a strange thing from the last altar at that time, well, to be exact, a strange special item - a dragon egg that had been turned into a fossil!

If you are an ordinary player, I am afraid that you will already be unable to extricate yourself when you see the word "dragon"... In the world of "Eternity", anything that can be associated with a legendary creature like a dragon is generally not too low, let alone a dragon egg that is recognized by the system!

However, Yu Zhihan never relied on this thing to hatch a dragon as a pet.

Mages who have read through "Vortex of Roots" know very well that in the game's setting, the content about dragons, whether they are bosses or not, will only appear in the far future, or they are legends like "Nightmare Claw Marks", if there is such a completely subversive setting in the game at this stage, allowing a single player to summon a dangerous pet like a dragon, then the only possibility is that it will directly swallow the player who caused the trouble alive as soon as it turns around... As for things like becoming a dragon knight and killing people, such as abusing pigs, don't even think about it.

But since it was a prop obtained in the tomb of the deceased, this dragon egg naturally could not be as simple as an ornament. In the end, after careful investigation and synthesis of the records in "The Vortex of Roots", he finally confirmed the most reliable explanation.

- Chapter 1, "The Madeira Line", Section 2, "Prison of Darkness"

The use of a dungeon's name as a chapter name is usually only seen in the later stages of the world, and as a dungeon that can be accessed in the early game, the Dark Prison also has this kind of treatment, naturally because it involves the special position of the expansion box related to the Madeira Line.

It can be said that everything from the causes of the dark prison, to the various strange designs existing in the dungeon, to the magical background stories of the NPCs in the dungeon, is recorded in great detail, so that even if it is regarded as a strategy article, there is nothing wrong with it.

And how can such a detailed historical document be missing the key to opening the dark prison?

… As a sealed place to block the territory of the undead and the human race, it is not a problem to think of this as the entrance to the underworld, according to the words that players can accept. Legend has it that the Dark Prison is a forbidden magic array arranged by a powerful human mage at the end of the last joint war with a high-level lich's life box as a material, using the magic power of the lich, the entire circle is composed of death, curse-shaped magic energy that fits with the undead, and when the seven abyss lords are all asleep, the remaining undead are powerless to break the barrier formed by the high-level necromantic magic, and the world of humans and the undead is completely isolated.

Thousands of years have passed, and the immortal lich is still passively extracted death energy from the body by the magic circle to maintain the operation of the seal, but the mage who set up the entire seal back then did not expect that in an extremely coincidental situation, the descendants of the dragon who had devoured the magic of the same origin were brought into this forbidden land, and the seal related to the rise and fall of the entire continent gradually collapsed.

According to the information in the Vortex of Roots, Yu Ruhan finally locked his eyes on the dragon egg he found from the grave of the deceased, and what prompted him to make this judgment was not only the description of the "descendants of the dragon" in the Vortex of Roots, but also the spell that summoned the dragon egg on the altar at that time.

According to the translation of the undead lingua franca, the spell printed at that time should be to the effect of "the key to the land of the dead" or something like that, coupled with the slight undead magic fluctuations remaining on the dragon egg, Yu Yuhan has reason to believe that this thing is probably the key to opening the "dark prison".

And as he used the magic crystals and spell seal documents and other spell casting materials he carried with him to simply sketch out a magic power activation scroll, and pasted it on the dragon egg, the black ** force barrier shrouded in the middle of the Demon Breath Mountain really began to fluctuate!

From the direction of the rain and the cold, the dark clouds that shrouded the Devil's Breath Mountain like a canopy of heaven suddenly began to change because of the loosening of the seal of the dark prison, and the terrifying thunder in the clouds seemed to cause a precursor to the apocalyptic change, sending out bursts of explosions, and it was against this background that the black magic barrier gradually cracked a small gap in front of them from the rain and cold, and in the middle of it, there was a dim passage that did not know where to go.

"Enter!"
