85. Mutation
Suddenly, Liam seemed to be in a hurry, there was a flaw under his feet, and he was tripped by Zhao Yuanyi's hooked foot, Zhao Yuan was carried by him and fell down, the next moment, Zhao Yuan only felt a familiar touch from the dagger, just like he pierced those eyes just now, and then a hot liquid splashed on his face, Liam's body stiffened, slowly did not move, and completely lost his breath.
Zhao Yuan's eyes widened in disbelief, staring at Liam, who was already motionless, even his breathing was stagnant, he slowly sat down on the ground, surrounded by Aiden and the others who had been scorched, the smell of roasted meat mixed with the smell of blood, which was extremely disgusting.
Zhao Yuan grabbed his hair with both hands, and his body trembled uncontrollably. He actually killed Liam, no, he didn't want him to die! he just wanted to restrain him, how could it all be like this?
At this moment, there was a sudden strange sound behind Zhao Yuan, and then a fire suddenly appeared in the darkness, Zhao Yuan's body trembled, and he turned his head a little stiffly, but saw Mason who should not have appeared here.
"Zhao Yuan! you—you actually killed them!" Mason screamed, his eyes reflecting the light of a throbbing fire, just as he was in a rage at this moment.
"Mason, I, I didn't mean to ......" Zhao Yuan wanted to explain, but Mason didn't listen at all, and directly reached out and grabbed Zhao Yuan's neck and lifted him up.
"Zhao Yuan, don't be cowardly, you're a villain, a hypocrite, a despicable and shameless Terran!" Mason roared, his eyes full of hatred.
Zhao Yuan lowered his eyes with great guilt and shame, not daring to look directly at Mason, his lips trembled, and he couldn't say a word.
Mason roared at Zhao Yuan, and the hand on Zhao Yuan's neck became tighter and tighter, seeing Zhao Yuan's appearance of being killed, a trace of triumphant smile faintly appeared on the corner of Mason's mouth.
Just when Zhao Yuan's entire face, which had been pinched, turned purple and was about to suffocate to death, Mason suddenly shook his body.
"You-" He looked at Zhao Yuan in disbelief, then slowly lowered his head, only to see a dagger stuck in his heart, and holding the dagger was a pale and thin hand.
"Heh!" Zhao Yuan, who was originally guilty and drooping his eyes, raised his eyes, his eyes were full of sarcasm: "Your Excellency Yingling, have you had enough?" As he spoke, his hand holding the dagger rotated left and right, forcing "Mason" to spit out another mouthful of blood.
"You, how do you know...... It's impossible for my illusion to be recognized......", Mason said in disbelief, he pinched Zhao Yuan's hand and let go weakly, and desperately covered his chest with both hands, trying to plug the wound that was gushing blood.
Zhao Yuan rubbed his slightly reddened neck that was pinched, shook his head and said, "Your Excellency Heroic Spirit, it's only because you have too much revenge, and you have to design me to "kill" Liam by piercing your eyes." And—do you really think I'm the kind of person who is willing to die for my life?"
"Mason" listened to what Zhao Yuan said, and another mouthful of blood spurted out, he opened his mouth, and wanted to say something more, but he saw Zhao Yuan make a gesture at him, and his eyes suddenly darkened, and he completely lost consciousness.
The next moment, the environment in front of Zhao Yuan's eyes suddenly changed drastically, and the smell of barbecue and blood that originally lingered on the tip of his nose suddenly disappeared, only the smell of burning torches remained.
At his feet, Liam lay on the ground intact, his chest heaving slightly, but the black qi on his body was heavier.
Zhao Yuan hurriedly took out the small transparent bottle that Mason handed him, and dropped the Bright Holy Water that was no less precious than the same volume of eighth-order crystal nuclei on Liam's chest, and the black qi that seemed to be a living thing suddenly retreated slightly, and Liam's face also improved slightly.
"Hmm...... What just happened?" Aiden's face was a little painful, and he got up from the ground with his head covered, he only remembered that after Zhao Yuan pierced those weird glasses just now, he suddenly fainted, and now he has a terrible headache. The other lion clan also woke up leisurely and looked at Zhao Yuan blankly.
Zhao Yuan smiled slightly and said, "That thing has been solved by me, let's go find Mason and them now." ”
Aiden and the other leon suddenly looked relieved, they carried Liam and another leon who had fainted, and then simply cremated the dead lion, took away his personal relics, and set off again.
Nothing happened to Mason's side, and the group met smoothly and began to search for the exit of the Netherworld Bronze Serpent.
Probably because of the loss of the master's control, the exit of the Netherworld Bronze Serpent was easily found, it was a huge mouth of a three-person snake, motionless and wide-open, as if the snake was about to bite its prey.
"It seems that our aqua regia is useless. Zhao Yuan said lightly, and took the lead in holding the torch and walked out.
At the exit, there was still the huge burial pit, and several ropeways still hung over their heads.
"Why don't we go and see what's on the other side of the snake?" said Mason.
Zhao Yuan nodded, now that they are pressed for time, they don't know what other guards there are in other directions, so it is better to walk through this road.
So the group turned around and entered the snake's mouth again, Zhao Yuan fell at the back of the line, and looked back at the burial pit seemingly unintentionally, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and his expression was inexplicable.
It wasn't until everyone's figures disappeared that a petite gray shadow faintly emerged from a pile of white bones.
"That Terran is terrible...... I was almost discovered...... "A young girl's voice sounded faintly from the gray shadow, and soon, the gray shadow fluttered out of the burial pit, far behind Zhao Yuan and the others, and also entered the huge snake's mouth.
"This is the farthest point from the entrance. Thiel said, his sense of direction and distance beyond the average person's acumen, almost like a human radar.
So without saying a word, they took out the royal water and threw it on the bronze wall. Like the previous stone gate, the invulnerable copper wall met the aqua regia, and it was instantly dissolved, revealing the situation behind the copper snake.
To the surprise of Zhao Yuan and others, there was not darkness behind the wall, on the contrary, what caught everyone's eyes was a golden and brilliant situation.
The gold coins and magic crystals piled up into a hill, countless weapons with intricate inscriptions, and the vials of Shengdan medicine made of the best white jade all exuded an alluring luster. The walls are adorned with exquisite wall lamps made of glazed and inlaid with sumptuous ornaments such as hawksbill turtles, pearls, and precious stones, but even so, they are not as valuable as the objects that can be found everywhere on the ground.
"Will there be a Quenching Pill in this?" said Tyre's eyes lit up.
Mason scoffed, "Even if the treasures here are real, how can we take them out?"
Tyre was stunned for a moment, and then received, "We can throw away some of the contents of the package." ”
"If you do that, you're going to be in trouble. Zhao Yuan shook his head and said. "It's best not to take the things here, whether it's true or not, if it's just fake, and you want us to lose the package, it's okay, if there's something bad on it, that's the big drop. ”
Mason nodded approvingly, only a little hesitation on Tyre's face.
"Let's just walk straight through the middle of the road, and don't take anything, don't touch anything. Zhao Yuan emphasized it again, and walked out with Mason first.
The rest of the leonins followed them, still vigilant, looking around with weapons in hand, keeping an eye on the movements.
"That's the Quenching Pill!" Suddenly, Tyre, who was at the end, shouted, and before Zhao Yuan and the others could react, he rushed to the pile of treasures on the side, and picked up a transparent crystal bottle, which contained three pills that were as red as coral, with thread-like lines on the pills, and a faint halo around them, which was not ordinary at first glance.
When everyone saw the elixir in his hand, their eyes couldn't help but burst into a scorching light, and even Mason, who had always been calm and self-controlled, showed a slightly excited expression, it was really hard to find a place to break through the iron shoes!
But what everyone never expected was that Tyre actually opened the bottle directly and swallowed three quenching pills in one gulp.
"Hahahahaha! I can finally become a berserker!I will be the lion, no, the strongest in the entire Cold Beast Continent!hahahahahaha!" Tyre raised his head and let out a rampant laugh, Mason and the others finally realized that something was wrong, and they all raised their weapons when they were about to step forward, and took a step back to show a defensive stance.
Tyre turned around, and everyone saw that his face was covered with blue-black vein lines at some point, his two eyes were bloodshot red, the black pupils shrunk into a small pinhole, the muscles on his body were bursting, and the muscles were full of muscles, and his appearance was extremely terrifying!
"Kill him!" Mason gritted his teeth and ordered, Aiden and another lion clan were about to step forward with weapons, but they were directly stopped by Zhao Yuan's long arm.
"Let's go, let's go!" Zhao Yuan said in a cold tone. Mason couldn't help but look sideways, seeing Zhao Yuan's gloomy face, he was silent for a moment. "Let's withdraw!"
The other two leonins were momentarily overwhelmed by Mason's diametrically opposed orders, but they faithfully carried out the orders, each carrying an unconscious leonin on their backs, and striding forward.
"Your Excellency Zhao Yuan, you-" Mason turned around, only to see that Zhao Yuan was still standing motionless.
"You go first, I'll stop him. Zhao Yuan's voice was extremely calm, like the water before a storm, undisturbed.
"Then please leave it to Your Excellency Zhao Yuan. Mason didn't know why Zhao Yuan would let them withdraw, but it was the first time he saw Zhao Yuan's serious face, and he knew that this time Tyre might have caused a big disaster.
"Remember, don't touch anything here!" Zhao Yuan warned for the last time.
Mason nodded heavily, then ran away with Aiden.
