In front of the towering pyramids.

When Neil Khloe and Molly Gershwin stepped into the pyramid area, Neil Kohler suddenly felt an aura that made his heart palpitate.

"Wait!"

Neil Kohler reached out to stop a group of mercenaries who wanted to venture into the pyramids, where a large number of mercenaries and civilians had looted their fortunes when the Aztec Empire fell.

More than a hundred years have passed, but over the years, Neil Kohler knows that this legend has been circulating in the upper and lower echelons of the Iberian Empire.

Many Iberian settlers came to the land with their fortunes and slaughtered the indigenous Madians, in search of gold and treasure, and thus became the greedy nature of these mercenaries.

"Boss, what's the matter?"

Ames Moghredy stood not far away, looking back at Neil Kohler with a puzzled look in his eyes.

This time I followed the Governor's Palm Pearl to this jungle expedition, not only for the high commission, but also for the large extent that everyone hoped to be able to find some hidden treasures left over from the Aztec Empire.

Many people have heard the legend among the Madian people that this land built a huge civilization as early as 3,000 years ago, when the population exceeded tens of millions at its peak, think of such a prosperous era, and the stories of many adventurers who made their fortunes, everyone is ready to move.

Most crucially, we all know that Molly Gershwin, although she is the most beautiful daughter of the Governor, is also a well-read and intelligent person, and she initiates expeditions that will not leave everyone empty-handed.

At this moment, Molly Gershwin also turned her head in confusion, her hood obscuring her delicate countenance, but Neil Khloe could know the other party's inquiry.

Neil Kohler didn't speak, just stared at the massive structure in front of him calmly, he had never seen such a towering and majestic structure in the Iberian Empire, at least so far, not to mention that the pyramid in front of him might have survived for more than thousands of years.

As he stepped into the realm near the pyramids, he sensed at least instinctively a sense of danger, a gut he had honed over his long time serving the Temple.

"Take your guns off your shoulders and load them."

Eventually, Neil Kohler gave a command to a group of mercenaries watching him, and then looked at Molly Gershwin again, and said softly, "I feel something is wrong. ”

For Neil Kohler, he would not care if the mercenaries present were killed, but Molly Gershwin, the daughter of the current governor of the Olmec region, who was second only to the king and crown prince in power in the Iberian Empire.

And in this land, the Olmec regional governor was the true emperor, ruling more than ten times larger than the Iberian Empire.

However, Neil Kohler also understands that the Old World is not the same as this wild land.

"I'll be careful." Molly Gershwin replied in a low voice, though she was the initiator of this expedition, but she was not as ignorant as ordinary ladies from wealthy families, and she knew why her father had sent his most trusted knight to protect her.

She would follow Neil Kohler's advice on these matters, but, for some reason—

Under Molly Gershwin's wide hood, a pair of eyes looked at the pyramid in front of her, shining with a strange light.

"Shocked, I thought I had found something!"

The mercenary Ameth Mogredy was a little puzzled by the sudden command of Neil Kohler, the leader of the team this time, but none of the mercenaries present, including him, dared to squeak.

To be able to call Neil Kohler the head is actually an honor for many people present. It was a knight, and they had to kneel down and salute when they saw them in the Old World.

The quest for the pyramid continued, presumably with Neil Kohler's reminder, and this time the crowd was visibly more vigilant. Many of the mercenaries present had actually encountered the Mardi, and among them, old fritters like Emmes Moghredy had left footprints in the New World, Africa and other regions.

He said that he didn't care about Neil Kohler's words, but he was very careful inside.

Removing the rifle from his shoulder, he had not only loaded the bullet, but even inserted a bayonet in the muzzle. This is the experience of an old mercenary, if you face a sudden danger, sometimes there is only one bullet, and it is not safe, but with a bayonet, even in the face of a fierce beast such as a roe deer (jaguar), there is a fight.

The huge pyramid building is in everyone's field of vision, as if it is like a huge mountain, majestic, full of traces of time.

Outside the mottled masonry tower, the green vines and plants are entwined, lush and lush, if you don't see the whole picture of this pyramid from a distance, when you look at it up close, it will make people mistakenly think it is a mountain.

"It seems that there should be no danger!"

Ameth-Moghredi had already seen a small gate in front of the pyramid hidden among the many vegetation, and as he walked this way, his hanging heart seemed to relax a little.

The expressions of the other mercenaries were also much more relaxed, after all, it is impossible for people to be vigilant all the time, and besides, there are more than thirty people here, all of them have weapons in their hands, even if they face one or two hundred primitive Madians, they can win, not to mention that there is a knight in the team.

But just as everyone had reached the foot of the pyramid and relaxed their vigilance a little, Ames Moghredi stood in the middle of the line and suddenly noticed that the vines in front of him that were entwined around the pyramid seemed to move.

"Be careful—"

Ames-Mogredi shouted, but it was too late, and at the moment when his voice sounded, suddenly a thumb-thick vine on the ground suddenly jumped up, and suddenly wrapped itself around the ankles of the two mercenaries walking in front, and then the vine moved quickly, dragging the two directly towards the top of the pyramid.

This change made everyone in the expedition team nervous to the extreme for a while.

Ameth-Mogrady looked at his companion who was being entangled in the vines and quickly dragged them away, and immediately chased after them quickly, but the masonry at each step of the pyramid was more than a meter high, and he couldn't keep up with the speed at which the vines dragged the two upwards.

"Cut with a knife!"

Someone in the crowd shouted loudly, most of the mercenaries would have a knife on their shoes to defend themselves, as soon as they were reminded, the two mercenaries who were quickly dragged up by the vines towards the outer vines of the pyramid suddenly came to their senses, and quickly pulled out the knives inserted in the calves, and cut hard at those vines.

Surprisingly, these vines were incredibly tough, and the sharp edge of the knife cut through them tightly, only scratching a little of the epidermis, and what flowed out of the epidermis was not some green and milky white plant liquid, but red blood.

"Help!"

"Help me!"

The two mercenaries were headed down and feet up, and they were quickly separated from the vines, and in the blink of an eye, they were already seven or eight meters high from the ground, and the daggers in their hands could not cut off the vines, and they suddenly screamed in great horror.

"Uncle Khloe-" Molly Gershwin, who was wearing a hood, was also frightened by this upheaval, and hurriedly asked Neil Khloe beside her for help, she knew that the other party had strength beyond mortals, and it should not be a problem to save the two mercenaries.

But Neil Kohler didn't seem to hear Molly Gershwin's words at all, and his gaze kept sweeping to the bottom of the pyramid.

At some point, wisps of gray mist drifted around, at first faint as morning mist, but gradually became more and more dense.

"What is this?!"

Suddenly, one of the mercenaries yelled hysterically and fired a shot from the rifle in his hand into the gray mist.

The crisp sound of gunfire echoed, and at the same time, a painful wail seemed to be heard from the gray mist.
