After searching all the rooms and buildings on the surface level of the temple, the group followed a moldy staircase from the upper to the basement, the staircase descended into the darkness, water dripping through the cracks in the stone carvings, sinkholes on the floor were everywhere on this level, and the walls were seeping water everywhere. As you go down the stairs, the smell of rotten eggs (biogas) gets stronger the further you go.

At the bottom of the stairs, thumb-sized cockroaches spread out and disappeared into the gaps in the steps. Sump-filled floors and 7-foot-high ceilings stretch to the west. The stone door is set in a cylindrical frame from which the damp corridor exits, along the southern wall of which there are three large alcoves.

There were no lizardmen and treasures in the alcoves, and in each alcove there was a four-foot-high stone shelf. The westernmost and easternmost shelves each support a marble figurine with a 5-inch diameter disc at the base. The figurines depict humans or elves wearing pale blue robes and decorated with sun motifs.

The statues are not peaceful, and inside each statue is a soul sealed inside, who were originally the priests who presided over the Sun Temple to bind their souls to the figurines to preserve their knowledge and wisdom for the next generation of sun worshippers. However, the ritual magic they use is flawed, and after so many years of captivity, these souls have been driven insane.

When Shi Ji tried to remove the figurine from the shelf, she lifted it up and immediately came to life, and let out a piercing scream. In this regard, Dugufeng did not hesitate to break her and overtook this pathetic soul.

There are no six reincarnations in the world of Faeron, and dead souls are either bound to the present world by magic or other powers, or go to the underworld to report to the god of death, or are directly taken to the kingdom of God by his gods, or fall into the abyss or hell, or reincarnate in other worlds on the outer plane.

Dugu Feng is not a demon or devil who harvests souls, and her way of killing does not need to devour souls to increase her power, so Dugu Feng simply slashed with a sword, breaking the boundary between reality and the underworld, and threw this pathetic soul to the underworld.

And seeing that Dugufeng smashed the first sculpture, the other statues suddenly came to life. A priest of the human sun god spoke to the crowd in a skilful lingua franca, telling the history of the temple's founding, promising and flattering the power of the people, and offering the little-known "truths" about the temple and about the future.

It even claims that he knows that the sun god Amanata has not fallen, and that the current Lord of the Dawn, Loshanda, is the former sun god Amanata...... He begged Dugu Feng to give him the same relief, and for this he promised that he would have the power to cast a protective spell on the people, and it would be free. Of course, its "spells" do not provide any protection.

Compared to the first statue of a human priest, the second dwarven statuette was completely deranged, and the statue clasped its hands in prayer, and its gibberish made no sense at all. After about a minute, the dwarf patted it on the forehead and said in the dwarven language, "The key is hidden under the midday sun!" ”

This is the only useful information, because the only key of the four elemental keys that Dugu Feng is looking for that has not been stolen is hidden in this ruin, and it is hidden in a mural nested in the noon sun - it's just that this key has been taken down by Shi Ji under Dugu Feng's guidance, and there is no need to look back at all.

The last elven figurine greets the crowd hostilely, denouncing the team in Elven language as a gang of thieves and infidels. Then it began to smoke and curse, becoming more and more annoying and arrogant. In this regard, Dugufeng did not hesitate to ask her to shut up completely.

After liberating these tragic souls, Dugu Feng and the others continued on their way, descending from a ten-foot-wide tunnel with clay brick walls and moldy stone floors to the south, where there was a faint light, and from that direction, the sound of water and the echo of drumming in the distance could be heard.

After walking a long staircase, they came to a large underground cavern complex that had been washed out by the current. A long portico protrudes into a natural cavern. An underground spring spills out of a wide hole in the east wall and falls into a fog-shrouded pool, flowing continuously down a naturally formed tunnel to the southwest. On the other side of the river, a measuring hole is open. To the west, the walls have been roughly hewn to form a temple, and the ceiling is supported by four tiny stone pillars decorated with snake carvings.

Standing in the alcove at the back of the temple is a 10-foot-tall statue of a crouching lizardman, but modified to look like a black dragon, bound wings made of wood and gray canvas, large horns made of clay, and glittering eyes.

Standing with her back to the statue and playing a small drum, is an infected lizardman wearing a delicate turban decorated with feathers. Seven similar corrupt lizardmen sat on the floor in front of her, looking up at the statue, rattling the rattle bell and chanting "ThosFyurnen" over and over again. All lizardmen have fire beetle glands hanging from vines tied around their waists.

This is the Lizard Queen and her last followers, who have spent most of her time here, praying for the safe return of the Suneater's lost eggs, and summoning the goddess Talona to give her a signal - any signal - a sign that the time of war is coming or where the dragon eggs are going, but so far, the goddess has not answered the lizard queen's prayers.

Without much effort, Dugu Feng and the others were able to deal with the Lizard Queen and her last guard, and did not alarm the black dragon in the depths of the cave group at all.

Buried beneath the Lizard Queen's "bed" is a rotten, unlocked wooden chest containing 600 gold coins, a leather bag containing six pink pearls, and a silver hand mirror with an elven design. This mirror is covered in dry mud.

A faint illusion aura is on the mirror, which is actually a secondary curiosity called the "Mirror of Flattery". Once the dirt has been cleared, any humanoid creature gazing at the reflective side of the mirror will see itself younger than it actually is, the most pleasing of all angles. It looks a bit like the Magic Mirror in Snow White's story, but without the Magic Mirror's omniscient abilities.

After collecting the treasure, now Dugufeng and the others can prepare to face the final boss of this adventure. After walking about three miles down an underground river and over a waterfall, the group finally reached the dragon's lair.

The ceiling of this natural cave is 30 feet high and covered with drooping stalactites. An underground river pours into a deep pool shrouded in mist from a tunnel in the northeast. To the north of the pool was a sandy beach, and to the southeast was a huge alcove with a pile of treasures in the middle of the alcove, and a narrow path led from the alcove against the edge of the pool to a deep hole in the south wall.

However, when everyone arrived at the dragon's lair, they couldn't help but smile.

"Boom Rumble......

Huge tremors came from the dragon's lair like an earthquake, the trembling cave walls, the falling rubble, accompanied by the violent impact of heavy objects falling to the ground, and from time to time there was a low or high-pitched dragon roar.

In the superhuman eyes of Dugu Feng, Lady Silver Dragon, Vilia Roland and others, it can be clearly seen that the two bodies are huge black dragons, and they are fiercely scuffling together...... Well, it can't be said to be a scuffle, more precisely, one black dragon unilaterally beats another black dragon.

Wing strikes, grappling, tail vertebrae, head mallets...... One black dragon mercilessly beat the other black dragon with a skillful attack that was obviously incompatible with the dragon's huge size, and the two behemoths weighing dozens of tons collided violently, as if a small earthquake had been set off in the entire cavern.

"Boom Rumble......

There was another loud bang, and the beaten black dragon smashed a stalactite that was thick and thick in a double hug, and the broken stones flew everywhere, like a landslide, and set off a cloud of flying stone smoke.

"What's going on?"

Shi Ji couldn't help but widen his eyes as he watched the two terrifying beasts scuffle together in disbelief, and couldn't help but ask, "Could it be that they are fighting among themselves?" ”

"No, it's not a war between dragons, it's just ordinary domestic violence!"

Looking at the poor black dragon who was beaten unilaterally, Dugu Feng couldn't help but smile, bowed a sympathetic smile, and then told the truth mercilessly.

“……”

However, just when Shi Ji felt speechless, the black dragon that was being beaten violently suddenly let out a short and rapid dragon roar, which was particularly interesting to listen to in the ears of everyone who knew dragon language.

"Don't fight, don't fight, honey, I surrender ......"

The black dragon, who was unilaterally beaten, shouted his partner's name numbly, and at the same time protected his head with his wings and forelimbs, begging for mercy without caring about face.

It's just that his useless ugliness of holding his head suddenly made his partner even more angry, and the dragon claws, dragon tails, and dragon wings attacked repeatedly, and all kinds of ruthless heavy hands directly greeted the black dragon's skeleton-like dragon head.

"Don't, don't slap ...... face"

Faced with his partner's anger, the black dragon, who was unilaterally beaten, hurriedly hugged his head and begged for a string while dodging.

"You softass, you shit, you goblin!"

The black dragon's dodge aroused her partner's anger even more, and she raised her dragon claws and attacked more ruthlessly, while roaring angrily: "You model egg who is not even as good as a pig!" I asked you to watch the house, and you could even lose a dragon egg—you useless waste! ”

The storm-like attack fell on the black dragon solidly, and the fight between the dragons was no joke, and the angry female black dragon did not use the dragon's breath and magic abilities at all, but there was no water under her hands. This angry beating is really a scale armor flying wildly, dragon blood is flowing wildly, and it is a truly merciless domestic violence......

"It's miserable!"

The black dragon who was beaten unilaterally was really miserable, there was no intact part of the huge body, there were deep and shallow claw marks and blood marks everywhere, and Shi Ji, who was watching from the sidelines, couldn't help but feel a little unbearable.

"Is the domestic violence of the dragons so intense?"

Seeing the scene in front of him, not only Shi Ji, but even Dugufeng and Vilia Roland couldn't help but look sideways slightly, looking at Ms. Yinlong, and the wordless eyes unabashedly revealed this question.
