"It's time for us to move on!"

As Esther's back disappeared from view with her bag on her back, Bartlett turned back and said to the others. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Hmm. Master Clark nodded first, "The contents of the diary ended in 1226, and now it's 1235, and I'm sure they won't stay here and do nothing." ”

A few people cleaned up and continued towards the opposite passage. After passing through abandoned laboratories with apparently different uses, they found a staircase down a large and separate hall.

This hall is different from the previous one. It is larger, and the surrounding walls are not stone, but heavy iron walls. The floor of the entire hall was a disgusting black, and after stooping down to inspect it, Captain Bartlett confirmed that it was the blood of the demon.

The staircase in the center is different from what was seen earlier. The staircase spirals down the central column, slightly dim but extremely spacious. The outer walls were made entirely of the transparent crystals seen earlier, and the scene outside the staircase happened to be the dense herd of demons that roamed underground.

"Are we going to the demons down there?" asked Miss Julie, looking at the outer wall of the staircase, cautiously. They had just entered the staircase at this time, and they were descending the staircase step by step, and they were also approaching the area where the underground demon was located. As the appearance of the demon below became clearer, the more apprehensive she became.

Miss Julie couldn't help but regret it a little. It would have been nice if he hadn't been hot-headed and chose to stay like a hero. However, now, for the sake of her own face, this girl can't say anything about returning, so she can only follow everyone down.

At this moment, the girl was praying in her heart.

Pray that there is a lower level in this laboratory, and that the spiral staircase she is in has no exit on this level, but just leads to the lower level, so that she can avoid the horde and prevent her dense phobia from attacking.

However, her grandfather apparently did not appreciate her delicate emotions. He opened his mouth, unconsciously erasing all the girl's luck, "Of course. As you can see from the facilities at the entrance to the upper level of this staircase, below is the material section of the lab. ”

The old scholar did not notice that his granddaughter's face had become more and more pale, and began to gush on and on about his inferences.

"The hall that connects to the entrance of the passage is clearly more guarded than the rest, and when I entered the room, I found that the walls around it were made of steel, and the floor was sprinkled with demonic blood. ”

"There is no other reason than the possibility of the experimental materials section as to why they had made the hall above so heavily guarded. ”

"They keep the demons in captivity in this area, enter the material area through this passage, capture the demons they need, and then bring them back to the experimental area to be imprisoned or dissected. ”

"You see, there is probably more such passage than we have found. Speaking of this, the old scholar pointed to the huge underground cavern outside the crystal, and in several other places in this cave, several people immediately saw similar huge round stone pillars.

They are located on both sides of the caverns, and several of them have fractured in the middle, apparently because something happened in the past.

"But grandpa, why do we have to come down through this passage, we can go and find a passage to other areas, can't we?"

"There should be no access to other areas anymore. The old scholar shook his head and pointed to the rock face of the great cavern.

Above the rock face there are three distinctly prominent faults. Each fault is separated by a digital height, and the protruding parts are exactly the same height on the left and right sides of the cavern, as if there should have been a three-story building under the roof, but for some reason it collapsed.

"There was a massive collapse here, and the staircase we are passing through must have been built later. At this, the old scholar's face suddenly became much more serious, "And, if my estimate is correct, one of the epicenters is near here." ”

As soon as the old man's words fell, everyone was shocked.

The body of the natural disaster is hidden in this demon group.

This is undoubtedly what the old man is alluding to.

Looking at the huge cavern infested with demons, and the countless natural underground tunnels connected to the cavern, the group fell silent.

Obviously, it is undoubtedly difficult to find a natural disaster in such a situation.

But they could only continue their downward journey, hoping to find a few more clues in the area below.

Near the end of the spiral staircase, a huge hall comparable to the previous one was gradually revealed.

The entire hall is made of strange crystals, reflecting the glimmer of the lanterns, and it looks like a huge crystal palace. The palace looked so crystal clear, almost like a shining pearl in the dark underworld, that it would make any nobleman who thought he was extravagant feel jealous when he saw this work of art.

Stepping into the "palace", everyone was almost squinted by the glare in the hall at the same time, and when they finally got used to the light and had no time to look at this "luxury", a gentle but alarming voice sounded above their heads.

"Guests from afar, welcome to my master's laboratory. ”

"What man!?"

Bartlett shouted, immediately made a defensive posture, and began to look for the enemy, while Betsy and the others hurriedly drew their weapons and took the lead in protecting Master Clark and Miss Julie.

"I'm just a little slave to my master, and I'm just here to welcome a few uninvited guests. The mysterious man let out a chuckle, but the sound was clearly coming from overhead, but the people who looked up couldn't spot half a figure anyway, as if it was just empty air whispering to them in the first place.

"Are you from the Black Scales Society?" asked Bartley's idiosyncrasies. Of course, he knew that the other party must be a member of the Black Balance Society, and the reason why he asked again was only to hope that the other party would answer again, so that he could find out the enemy's location. However, to his disappointment, the other party's voice still came from the zenith, but except for a few crystal lamps on the zenith, there was still no half a figure on the zenith.

"That said, a few of the guests already knew whose territory they had broken into. The mystery man continued to let out an annoying chuckle, and said slowly in a cat-like tone, "It seems that it is necessary for me to prepare a special gift for the clever guest as a reward." ”

"What?"

Hearing this, Bartlett and the others' hearts suddenly sounded alarms, as if something extremely bad was about to happen.

However, just as the nervous group of people gathered in a circle and strengthened their vigilance, another slightly low, but smiling voice suddenly came from the top of the sky.

"I don't think they'll need this gift, Mr. Lawrence. (To be continued.) )
