The whole picture is still quite terrifying. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Originally, he had confirmed that it was an empty place, but in a blink of an eye, a dried corpse appeared. At that moment, Benjamin almost thought that he had strayed into some tomb robbery copy.

However, the corpse did not jump up and attack him, and there was no sign of moving. It just fell there quietly, and it looked like it had been there for a while.

So, Benjamin couldn't help but walk over and take a closer look, but the more he looked at it, the more familiar it became. In the end, from the corpse's shriveled face and facial features, he even recognized the corpse.

This is Michelle's body.

“...... the groove. Realizing this, he couldn't help but show a stunned expression.

He knew about Michelle's death before, but what he didn't expect was that she actually died in this place.

But......

Recovering from the initial stunned, Benjamin felt that everything made sense now.

Nine times out of ten, it was Michelle who entered the collection and saw the red crystal. She thought that the red crystal was the treasure left over from the "Soul Flame", so she picked it up, but it turned out to be like Benjamin just now, bleeding all over her body, and she couldn't stop it. It's a pity that she doesn't have such a thing as consciousness space, so she bled to death.

And the blood she flowed out, under the effect of this red crystal or something, condensed into the undead creature that Benjamin later saw.

Thinking about all this, Benjamin couldn't help but sigh.

In a way, Michelle is a hero. She has great ambitions and a meticulous plan. To this end, she took every step of the way, using all means to do anything, however, in the end, she was defeated by a small red crystal.

...... Is this what is called "divine will"?

Benjamin shook his head a little helplessly.

People are dead, and it's useless to think about it. He just suddenly felt that he should bury Michelle. Whether it was buried or burned, in short, he couldn't let her body just leave it here and rot alone.

-- People sacrificed for him.

Most of the ground in this entire cave hall is hard rock and cannot be excavated. Still, in some corners, Benjamin found land. In this way, it took him about an hour or so, using a wooden barrel as a tool, to barely dig a small pit.

He put Michelle's body in a pit, covered it with earth, and buried her. Finally, Benjamin stood on the sidelines, was silent for a moment, nodded, and turned to leave.

Maybe he knew about Michelle's death before, but this time, he didn't feel many complicated emotions, just a little embarrassed, feeling how hasty a person's death can be.

But soon, he broke away from this emotion and continued his journey.

He walked towards the new hole.

During the whole process of digging the pit, he also discussed with the system of the incarnation "fish eggs" what the "mechanism" here was. He had searched the entire cave hall carefully, but found neither Michelle's body nor the entrance to the cave. Now it pops up out of nowhere, it's not normal.

Eventually, he came to the conclusion that it was the moss that had suddenly withered and was doing the trick.

Combined with the dizziness after the moss disappeared, and the system said that when he first entered the cave, there seemed to be a lot of hormone in his body. Therefore, Benjamin estimates that these mosses may have hallucinogenic abilities in addition to emitting light.

The hallucinations blinded Benjamin so that he did not notice these things.

This is probably the trap set by the "Soul Flame" here.

Moss survives on red crystals, and at the same time gives hallucinations to those who enter it. Unless someone can destroy the red crystal, or actually absorb the energy inside, no one else will find a way out.

The person who designed this was also scheming.

Still, Benjamin was a little confused. Why did the "Soul Flame" do this? Benjamin had felt the energy in the red crystals himself, so he didn't think that many people in this world could really bear it.

No one can bear it, so isn't it a pit to leave this thing here?

Thinking about it, Benjamin didn't quite figure it out. So in the end, he could only think that this mage senior's temper must be quite eccentric, at least from the side of the order and evil.

Benjamin thought as he continued along the hole.

He was also a little puzzled about how the light in this cave came from. However, after a while, the answer to this question came out on its own.

He saw a glowing underground river.

Not long after exiting the new opening, the terrain on the right began to collapse. In the sunken groove, a thin curved stream of water came out of which mouth and flowed along the stone trough. At first, it was like a stream. However, as the terrain continues to fall, the whole depression becomes deeper and wider. It didn't take long for the existence of a river that could be called a river to appear in front of Benjamin's eyes.

- It's already quite an amazing underground landscape, not to mention that the river is still glowing.

At first, Benjamin thought it was the river that was special. But when he looked closely, he saw that the river was full of tadpole-like creatures. They have translucent bodies that emit a soft white light. It is the white light they emit that connects together to give the illusion that the river is glowing, like a brilliant underground milky way.

Benjamin was amazed.

What is this? An ordinary creature in this world, or is it the so-called "Warcraft"?

Whether it is Benjamin before the crossing or Benjamin after the crossing, there are very few places that have been there. Therefore, he had never seen what that real magical beast looked like.

In this way, after observing the glowing "tadpoles" in the river for a while, Benjamin still suppressed the idea of fishing for a few, and instead stood up and continued to walk forward.

Don't die, who knows if this thing is dangerous. If he fishes it out and poisons himself, where can he cry?

So, holding back his curiosity, he continued to walk down.

However, after walking for a while, Benjamin inadvertently turned his head and found a large passage on the wall on the left.

His interest was immediately ignited.

The words seem to have been carved with something strange, and they look like they've been around for a long time. The font is not very good-looking, twisted and crooked, but it is better to write it big enough, so it is still easy to read clearly.

As for the content of the words, Benjamin took a cursory look at them and decided that nine times out of ten they were left by the "Soul Flame".

"I hate all the priests, and I don't like them very much. ”

This was the first sentence Benjamin reads.

Then look down, the whole text is very narcissistic, all the time talking about how strong his talent is, saying that he has no one to beat before he is twenty years old, how boring life is, and I really want to find a little excitement. So in the end, the mage decided to seal a part of his strength in the red crystal, and then ran to the church alone.

Seeing this, Benjamin was a little confused.

Good, good swelling of a senior.

However, thinking of the energy intensity in the crystal, he couldn't help but be a little frightened, the strength of the sealed part of it was so terrifying, how strong should the full form be?

That...... What about the results of single-handedly meeting the church?

It's a pity that it is not written on it. This text is estimated to have been left by "Soul Flame" before he ran to single-handedly fight the church, and Benjamin naturally has no way of knowing what happened after that.

However, seeing that the church is still in full swing, this genius mage should not have succeeded.

It's a pity.

After a little regret, Benjamin continued to read. And at the end of the text, he saw something about the red crystal.

"I was hoping to leave something for others, but after I finished it, I realized that even a part of the strength I had sealed up was not something that others could bear. That being the case, whoever reads this passage is either dead or better than me. If you're alive and follow the road, you'll be able to get to the east of the kingdom, but that's not possible. You must have died, this continent, in a few thousand years, there will be no stronger people than me, thank you. ”

“......”

Looking at the entire text, Benjamin was speechless.

What else could he say?

Indeed, he could not find a more appropriate adjective than arrogance.

Regardless of whether the strength of this "soul flame" is really as strong as written above, Benjamin can't quite understand this way of thinking. What is this? Probably only this kind of powerful and boring existence can act so recklessly and treat life as a game.

It was also bitter for Michelle, who kept looking for the relics, but it turned out to be the same thing. I don't know if her undead saw this passage, but if she did, how heartbroken would it be?

Benjamin thought so and looked at it twice. However, he suddenly found that there were a few small words next to the engraved text.

Small characters are not carved, but in some kind of ...... It looks like it was written in blood or something, and it should have been written for a short time, but it's almost gone. Benjamin had to lean in and look very carefully to be able to barely see clearly.

Obviously, the small print was not left by "Soul Flame", but a comment on this passage by another person who had been here.

It reads: "Son of a bitch." ”
