The silence of the night gave everyone a chance to rest. But the thought of the horrific scene of last night's beast attack made everyone's hearts tremble. Unconsciously, they all slowed down their travel. Although nothing unusual was found, there was not even a single birdsong in the surrounding jungle, which still made people feel abnormal.

When everyone had tensed their nerves for half a day, Op was a little overwhelmed, and he handed over his double-edged axe to his squire, and followed behind the group with a stick, without the majesty of the grizzly bear he had slain yesterday.

Frank looked at Op's panting appearance and wanted to stop and let him rest, but so far no new clues have been found, which really makes him a little unwilling.

Suddenly, several dark shadows sprang out of the trees. Rushing into the ranks at great speed, before Frank could react, screams and the sound of beasts began to appear in the crowd.

Haight, who was originally walking in the crowd, saw the soldier in front of him being thrown to the ground in an instant. In the blink of an eye, the beast opened its bloody jaw and bit down on the soldier's neck, and with a scream, the beast raised its head with its mouth full of blood.

When the beast's blood-red eyes met Haight's eyes, Haiter immediately recognized the beast as the kind of ferocious monster that had appeared last night. But his whole body seemed to be frozen, and he was completely out of his control from head to toe.

For a moment, Haight was stunned when the beast pounced. Haiter could clearly see the beast's bloody teeth, and just as he closed his eyes, a sword slashed the beast's head from the bottom up.

With a thud, the beast's body and head landed beside Haight's side. Haidt opened his eyes and saw the Brown Knight standing beside him. The sword in his hand had turned red, and blood was falling from the grooves of the sword.

Haight looked at the blood on the ground and shouted, "It's a beast!" He felt his heart begin to beat faster and his body regained control.

And his voice also pulled Frank back from his state of daze. For a time, all the people entered into a battle with the beast. It's just that there are far more beasts than expected, and after killing one batch, a new batch will swarm up.

After a while, the beasts surrounded Frank and the others.

Seeing that the situation was getting worse and worse, Frank yelled loudly: "Get out of the way." I saw Frank take out the red feather bow and pull it away with all his strength. The entire bow emitted blue flames, slowly forming a huge bow and arrow.

Frank kept yelling and pulling his bow, and the arrow grew bigger and bigger. When it was big enough, Frank let go of the beast in front of him.

Haidt only felt a flash of dazzling light in front of him, and then saw that there was only a scorched earth within a few hundred meters in front of him. The beasts, along with the surrounding trees, were gone.

"Go to the front and get out of the way. As he spoke, Frank shifted his hand from side to side and towards his back. All the people hurriedly retreated to the side of the scorched earth. Frank took advantage of the situation and burned the entire jungle out of a clearing with another arrow. After shooting in both directions, all the beasts were wiped out.

Frank hurriedly dropped the Red Feather Bow in his hand and sat down on the ground by himself. The Brown Knight hurriedly walked up to Frank and said, "Duke, are you all right?"

Frank gasped and said, "Brown, you and Op take everyone to find a safe place." I need to take a break. We'll go back when we're rested. ”

Knight Brown nodded, and hurriedly called the soldiers to lift Frank. When Op walked up to Frank, he was already asleep. Brown glanced up at Op. At this time, Op was also embarrassed, and his armor had been torn and tattered by the beast.

The Brown Knight told him what Frank meant, and Op nodded and looked around. At this time, the jungle was full of jungle trees except for the black scorched earth where they were. There is no place to defend against the beast.

Just as Op and Brown were in a dilemma, a soldier shouted, "Hey, look. Look in front of you, there are towers! There are a lot of them! It's in the woods. ”

Haight followed the group and looked in the direction the soldier was pointing. Sure enough, in the jungle ahead, there were buildings that looked like stone towers. Because the power of the Red Feather Bow burned down the dense jungle just now, people saw this building in the jungle.

Op and Brown looked at each other and hurried towards the jungle. As we get closer to the tower, the true face of the building is revealed.

Everyone was stunned by the huge building in front of them, and the tall tower they had seen was only a small part of the entire building. The twenty-metre-high stone tower is the highest point of the complex, and behind it there are countless buildings standing in the jungle.

When all the people came to the group of buildings, they found that all the buildings were made of stone. The buildings that still exist show that this was once a city, a city that was once glorious.

Op couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "The scale of this place is not smaller than my giant forest city! What kind of era is this? I didn't expect that there are such ruins in the thorny jungle, this is a great discovery!"

"yes! Let's go in and have a look. Look for any clues. Find a place for everyone to take a break first. Duke: He needs to recuperate. Brown said, sword in hand, and was the first to enter the old building.

Everyone entered this ancient city only to find that by this time various plants had taken over the entire city. The traces of the city wall are still faintly visible, and Opple, who was originally in high spirits, put away his smile after seeing the situation here.

He realizes that this is not a good place to rest, and that the complex terrain and uncharted buildings can add to the danger, and they will be more passive if attacked.

So Opple hurriedly sent a part of the people to various parts of the city to investigate. Leave some people to stock up on torches and prepare food for the evening. Frank was placed in a corner to rest, protected by the Brown Knights.

After everything was assigned, Op sat on the stone steps next to the corner and waited for news. Soon people from all walks of life returned. Everywhere the soldiers found bones and some scattered gold coins, which looked the same as those found on the corpses outside.

"Looks like this is the place we're looking for. Brown, I think when the Duke regains consciousness, we should get out of here first, and it would be better to lead the army here next time. Op said as he wiped his wounds.

"Well, there are a lot of dead people here. I saw a skeleton that should only look like a few years. There's a good chance those beasts are moving around here a lot. Children like Haight are vulnerable to danger here. I also feel like we should leave as soon as possible. Brown said.

"Well, we have to get out of here as soon as possible. Or maybe it's just to get out of the jungle. Op said that he wanted to stand up, but he didn't know why he suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart.

It was at this time that some of the soldiers noticed that Haight was missing and reported it to Brown. The Brown Knight immediately got up and walked around, but there was no sign of him, and he hurriedly ordered the soldiers to look carefully. But the soldiers searched everywhere but found nothing. Now Op and the Brown Knights are in a hurry.

Haight was in a temple on the north side of the ancient city when he saw everyone looking around for clues. Haight also came to his senses, and plunged headlong into the unfettered north temple.

Haight was still a little scared when he first saw a lot of corpses everywhere, but he thought that he was happy to see a lot of interesting things and things when he traveled with his father, while Winter must have been bored alone in Dragonclaw City, so he wanted to find a fun treasure to give him. When you think about it, you don't have to be scared anymore.

The dimly lit room was littered with dust and cobwebs, and Haight saw a stone seat in the distance by the faint light of the fire. When he got to the front of the chair, he noticed that there was noticeably less dust here. Haight felt strange and muttered to himself, "Strange, why do you think this place is different from other places?

So Haight looked around the chair, but couldn't see anything wrong. Suddenly, Haight thought of all sorts of bizarre episodes he had read in the book. "Could it be that there is some hidden mechanism in this chair?"

He searched for a while in his chair, and just as Haight got up and wanted to give up, his hand pressed to the handle on the left side of the chair, and suddenly the ground he was on began to move. Soon a large hole appeared near the seat, and the broken staircase could be faintly seen descending.

Haight stood at the entrance of the cave and shone down with a torch, but nothing could be seen from the outside. At the entrance of the cave, he hesitated whether he wanted to go down or not.

But I thought that if I went back and asked the Brown Knight and other adults to help, they might take the contents away. His desire to find a gift for Winter was frustrated, and he made up his mind to go down and see what was going on.

So Haidt took off the backpack he had been carrying and pulled out an iron ball from it. As I threw down the stairs, I heard the sound of bells, bells, iron balls, and stone stairs colliding. After a while, there was no sound.

Haidt waited a little longer, and thinking that there should be no other danger below, he cautiously walked down the stairs with a torch in one hand and a dagger in the other.

The fire shone on the ancient steps, and after a long time, Haight accidentally hit his head against something, and screamed in fright. Hurriedly shone it with a torch, only to find that there was a stone wall in front of him.

Thinking that there might be a mechanism, Haidt tapped every stone brick around him, and finally found a stone brick with a hollow sound. So Haight pushed the stone bricks hard, and sure enough, the stone door in front of him gradually moved open. After rounding a few more long winding steps, we finally came to the end.

At the end of the stairs is a large underground room. The whole room was empty, and there was no trace of any treasure in sight, but white bones everywhere, piled up everywhere.

Seeing mountains of white bones made Haight shudder. "How many people are dying here! Haight thought as he walked deeper into the room.

This room is surprisingly large, and it's hard to imagine how people built it in ancient times. Haight was amazed, but also a little lost in his heart. After walking around for a long time, I finally saw a closed door in the corner of the wall.

Seeing that there were many animal images carved on the gate, Haight kicked it without thinking much to see what was going on at the stone gate. Unexpectedly, he kicked open the stone door with this kick.

But when the stone door was opened, Haight found that there was still no sign of treasure inside. Walking into this room, there are several white bones neatly displayed in the room, but the white bones here are not only neat but also different from the outside. In addition to human bones, there are also bones of various other animals.

Just as Haight was carefully observing every skeleton in the room, he suddenly spotted a huge skeleton beside him.

Haight couldn't believe his eyes, he rubbed them and looked at them carefully, and his heart shook. It turned out that this huge skeleton was the bones of a dragon. This was the first time Haight had seen it, and although he had seen the corpse of the red dragon, the keel was obviously much larger than the one that had been slain by his brother Walter.

Haight held the torch and looked at each bone, imagining what the dragon would have been like when it was alive. Just as he was looking at it, he bumped into something.

Looking at it again with the help of the firelight, it turned out that behind the keel, there was a skeleton wearing armor. "This is something that has never been seen before, only this skeleton is wearing armor. Haight thought, looking at the skeleton with curiosity.

I saw this armored skeleton holding a sword in one hand and one hand on his lap, sitting cross-legged on the ground. "This person must have the consciousness of death, and sitting here in such a posture is really imposing. Haidt muttered to himself.

Haidt glanced at the sword a few times, then at the bones around him. I thought to myself, "It's taken so long, and this sword is the only one here that can be regarded as a gift that can be taken out." But isn't it a bit unreasonable to take away the deceased's things?"

Seeing that his torches had darkened a little, Haight made up his mind. Bow to the armored skeleton and say, "Sir, I know this sword is your treasure. I am willing to exchange this sword in my hand with you. It's a gift from my father and it's important to me, but I want my brother to be happier, so I think you can understand me. Thank you. ”

With that, Haight took the sword from the armoured skeleton's hand, and just as Haidt took the sword, there was a loud noise in the room. Suddenly, the door to the room slammed shut. From underneath the remains of the armor rose a pillar of stone.
