I wondered and asked, "Senior Su, are you sure that the entrance to the shortcut is in this area?" ”

Xu Yu nodded affirmatively: "That's right, it's right at your feet!" ”

As soon as I heard this, I immediately subconsciously looked down and saw that there were hard rocks under my feet.

"Senior Xu, you won't be fooling me, there is not even a rat hole around here, where will there be any shortcuts!"

Seeing that I didn't believe it, I didn't say anything, but suddenly flew up, and soon turned into a golden light, which spun a few times in mid-air, and then, a magical scene appeared, those few strange shapes, black stones that didn't seem to have anything special actually glowed with a faint golden light.

Seeing this, I couldn't help but be shocked, what is the situation!? Could it be that there is an enchantment entrance here!?

I was muttering in my heart, when suddenly, a circular pattern with a diameter of about a foot and a golden light appeared in the place where I was standing, and I did not dare to be careless, so I hurriedly stepped aside.

The golden light pattern rotated clockwise, faster and faster, and I could barely see the original appearance of the pattern, only a cloud of light that was spinning rapidly.

I quietly observed for a while, and found that the ground around the golden light pattern had slowly disappeared, and a large hole with a diameter of more than a foot and a bottomless depth appeared in the originally quite solid rocky ground.

Xu suddenly appeared in front of me in human form, and he spoke, "This is the secret passage to that underground yin lake!" ”

I probed into the big cave, and although it was pitch black, I was still able to detect some conditions with my current ability to explore, and I found that the deepest part of the cave seemed to be a body of water.

From this point of view, this large hole should be located directly above the underground yin lake.

"Let's get inside! Otherwise, after half an hour, the entrance will close again! After Xu Yu finished speaking, he immediately turned into a dragon body and flew directly into the black hole, I took a deep breath, flew up, and flew into the cave after him.

We flew down the narrow tunnel for about twenty or thirty meters, and suddenly the space became extremely spacious, and it was pitch black all around, and I urged my spiritual sense to look around, and found that we were directly above the underground yin lake.

I was wondering where to fly when a flash of fire erupted in the distance. Xu Yu immediately said, "That is the place where the Fire Demon is sealed!" Let's go check it out! ”

We flew towards the firelight, and we soon flew directly above the fortress, and I was surprised to find that there were people on the fortress tower, and in the valley below the fortress, there were many orange beasts, attacking the fortress tower, and the orange beasts seemed to want to break out of the valley, but the fortress just blocked them.

The fortress tower is more than twenty meters high, and the stone staircase next to the original tower has been destroyed, the orange flame beast can't fly, although it has a strong jumping ability, but it can't jump that high, and the city gate is blocked with many stones, and the orange flame beast can't rush out, so it can only attack the fortress in waves. The orange flames jumped up and spewed flames at the tower, still with sharp lethality, and the people on the tower fought back with spears, bows, and stones, but it didn't seem to have much effect, and they were about to lose their support.

Seeing this, I immediately said to Xu Yu: "Senior Xu Yan, we have to hurry up and help them!" ”

Xu Yu immediately let out a deafening groan, and the people on the city tower and the orange flame beasts in the valley were all shocked by this dragon groan, and they all raised their heads.

Xu Yu can be said to be the savior of the slaves of the Sky Wolf Castle, most of the slaves have seen him incarnate as a green dragon, and now when he sees the green dragon again, the people on the city tower cheered, and the orange flame beast looked a little panicked, raised his head one after another, and sprayed flames into the air, but at this time I and the green dragon were still at a height of tens of meters, and the flames they spewed out were only seven or eight meters high, and it was impossible to hurt us at all. In doing so, they are not so much attacking as warning us.

The green dragon let out another deafening groan, and then swooped down and rushed straight towards the valley, and I hurried after him.

The green dragon spewed out a cloud of clear white mist towards the orange flame beasts in the valley, and the white mist quickly spread in the valley, and as soon as the orange flame beasts burning around their bodies were shrouded in the white mist, the flames around them were immediately extinguished, and their bodies were also frozen.

Xu Yu is a water-based divine dragon, water can overcome fire, he is the nemesis of the fire-based orange flame beast, and now he has completely recovered his vitality, and his strength has been greatly enhanced compared to last time, so it is naturally easy to deal with these orange monsters.

The surviving orange beasts were terrified and retreated, and soon they all retreated to the artificial cave at the end of the valley.

That artificial cave was excavated by the slaves of the Sky Wolf Castle for decades under the coercion of demons, and it went straight to the place where the fire demons were sealed.

When we left before, Su Yu had frozen the entrance of the cave with the technique of freezing, but now it has been broken by the orange demonic beast.

Instead of immediately chasing into the cave, Su Yu and I landed on the tower of the fortress.

As soon as my feet hit the ground, many soldiers in leather armor with bows and crossbows surrounded me, and I glanced at them, and found that there were several familiar faces among them, and the leader of them was all too familiar to me, none other than the old aconite!

When I saw the old aconite, I was about to meet him, but the old aconite led the soldiers to kneel on the ground and kowtowed to me and Xu Yu.

I didn't expect them to make such a big gift to us, and I felt flattered at once, but I was stunned for a moment and came back to my senses, in their minds, Xu Yu and I were not only their saviors, but also god-like figures, and it was reasonable for them to bow down to us.

But I couldn't stand being bowed down like a bodhisattva by a large group of people, so I hurriedly stepped forward and stretched out my hand to help the old aconitum up.

"Brother Aconite, what are you doing here! Why are you still worshipping! Get up! ”

The old aconite said tremblingly: "The two Engongs are the Daluo Immortals who can subdue demons and eliminate demons, I ...... I waited for ordinary people to see it, and I should bow three times and bow nine times. ”

I saw the respectful appearance of the old aconitum and the soldiers behind him, and knew that it would be difficult to convince them for a while, and I didn't bother to say anything more to him, but hurriedly asked him, "Brother Aconite, what is going on?" Wasn't that cave sealed by the Elder with the Freezing Technique, when was it broken through by those Orange Flame Beasts? ”

The old aconitum settled down and told me: "This is what happened more than ten days ago, when Engong and his party left, they repeatedly told us to pay attention to the movement of that cave, and we did not dare to take it lightly, and sent nearly 3,000 warriors to be stationed in this fortress for a long time, and have been closely monitoring the cave. Just ten days ago, the demon soldiers hidden in the underground cave suddenly launched an attack on the fortress, and the warriors fought to the death with the demon soldiers, and finally repelled the onslaught of the demon soldiers. But then we found out that the real purpose of the demon soldiers was actually that cave! ”

Hearing the old aconitum say this, I immediately asked, "How do you say this?" ”

"The demon soldiers concentrated their forces to launch a fierce attack on the fortress, although this fortress is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but after all, we have limited troops, so we have to put almost all our forces in the fortress for defense, but we never thought that some owl monsters fell from the sky and launched an attack on the cold ice that sealed the cave, they smashed the cold ice with stones, although the ice was very hard, but it still cracked. By the time we found out, it was already too late, and we were worried that the fire monsters that were sealed in the cave would rush out, so we sealed the fortress gate with stones and destroyed the stone steps leading to the fortress tower, which temporarily blocked the swarming fire monsters. But we have suffered heavy losses, and now we are left with 3,000 warriors. ”

When the old aconite said this, he raised his hand to wipe the tears that overflowed from the corners of his eyes. I looked up, and as far as I could see, there were at most seventy or eighty people left, and all of them were wounded and exhausted.

Of the 3,000 people, only a few dozen remained, and one can imagine how tragic the battle was. I took a deep breath and said to the old aconite: "Now that I and my predecessors are here, we want to solve this matter completely!" Rest first, and we'll take care of the rest. ”

The old black head immediately nodded and said, "Then there is Lao Engong, and please ask Engong to reseal the cave, we will definitely do our best to garrison it, and never let the evil demons come to destroy it again." ”

I waved my hand and said, "No! Freezing the entrance is only an expedient measure, but this method treats the symptoms but not the root cause, and if you want to eliminate future troubles forever, you still have to cure them from the source! ”

"What is Eungong going to do?"

"You don't have to worry about that! Also, I have one more thing I want to ask you. ”

"If you have something to say, you might as well speak up!"

"Recently, there have been frequent earthquakes in this area, does Brother Aconitum know what's going on?" I asked.

The old aconite shook his head and said, "In the past ten days, we have been fighting to the death against the evil demons every day, so where can we care about other things. However, earthquakes have indeed been quite frequent during this period of time, and this time the demon soldiers launched an attack on the fortress, which seems to have something to do with the earthquake! ”

"What!? Something to do with an earthquake!? I couldn't help but be taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "Brother Aconite, why do you think so?" ”

"Since Engong helped us defeat the demons, although it is inevitable that there will still be stragglers, but they have not formed a scale, and this time the demon soldiers suddenly gathered on a large scale and launched a fierce attack on the fortress, it was after an earthquake of considerable intensity."
