Chapter 72: Amended
After walking for nearly two full days, Eluman finally approached the eastern side of the Secret Forest, during which he was chased by poisonous bees, attacked by nocturnal timberwolves, and thwarted by various fierce beasts, but with the help of Tango and Finch, he survived.
Passing through a grove of bushes, Elluman stood in front of a towering peak. This bare peak cuts off the passage between Noze and the Secret Forest, and the occasional wind blows and tumbles down the rocks, and if you want to climb the steep peak, you have to take great risks, and even if you do not make it to the top, the high altitude depression and blizzards will easily kill you.
"Damn, there's no signpost here, and I've been walking east and I've come across this kind of ghost terrain. Eluman scratched his head, he knew that behind this peak was the main road to Noze, but the question was, how to get through here?
"By the way, why don't you fly out on your own, and instead want me to take you out?" said Eluman, who had never asked the tango about it, as he observed the terrain at the foot of the mountain.
[Our injuries haven't fully recovered, and besides, the golem has recovered, I don't want to be a prey as soon as I get out," Finch said.
"Golem, I haven't heard of it, this is a more powerful existence than your dragons?"
[It was created by a few bad old men of your human race before the epoch, and it was originally intended to assist our dragon clan in eliminating the evil dragon, but it lost control, and when you see the dragon, you will kill it... It is by him that we have been wounded. γ
"Evil dragons, then you are good dragons?" Elluman was a little surprised, it turned out that dragons are also good and evil like humans.
[Don't interrupt me, our dragons are more advanced and intelligent creatures than you humans, okay!] Well, every time it destroys a creature, it will absorb the energy from it and use it for its own use, and it is precisely because of its loss of control that our dragon clan almost wiped out... In the end, our mother stopped it from going berserk, at the cost of her life...] Finch seemed to recall some bad memories, and the sadness affected Eluman as well.
"Alright, alright, until you recover, allow you to stay inside me. Eluman reassured. The secret forest has come all the way with the help of Vinci's power.
"Maybe before we part, I can use your power to help me kill my father's enemy. Eluman continued, he couldn't forget what his father looked like before he was buried, and avenging his father was the only reason he had sustained until now, "I don't know how my mother is doing, Puo must be the new lord." β
With a wry smile, Eluman continued his investigation, discovering a hidden hole in a weed. The edge of this cave is covered with moss and cobwebs, and if it weren't for the light today, it wouldn't have been possible on a rainy day.
"It looks like no one has been in or out of this hole for a long time. Elluman observed for a moment, and decided to go inside and take a look. Because at the entrance of the cave he found several mainland characters, apparently artificially constructed, if lucky, this would be a shortcut to the outside world.
After removing the barrier from the opening, Eluman cautiously bent down and slipped in. The inside of the cave was so dark that you couldn't see your fingers, the air was very humid, and slowly a peculiar smell crept into Eluman's nose.
"This isβ" Eluman wiped it on the wall and put it on his nose to sniff it carefully.
[Open your mouth, boy.] γ
Before he could react, Ellumin's stomach began to roll hotly again, and a flame of fire erupted from his mouth with a "wow", igniting the entire passage.
[There is a lead made of oil in this hole, this is the smell of crude oil] Tango said casually, as a dragon, the most familiar is the smell of crude oil.
"Please, can you do it next timeβ" Eluman was about to complain when he was shocked by what he saw. I saw that in the passage for only two people, there were several white bones piled up, and the white bones were wearing armor, and the emblem on the armor showed the mark of Silver Shield City!
"The soldiers of Silver Shield City, how could they die here...", Eluman did not feel that he had found a passage, but instead strayed into a soldier's grave. This secret forest seems to be buried with many secrets.
The front of the cavern was still lit, and Eluman was emboldened and determined to continue exploring. After a moment of digging through the pile of bones, the hole became wider, and the temperature became colder and colder, and Elluman shivered.
After walking for a while, a square cave appeared in front of Eluman - in the center of the cave was a heavy ice cube, and in the center of the ice cube was a ring, which was bright in color and flowing with red dark light, and the ring body could have lines, which was very textured in the light. The ice cube is surrounded by three chains, and at the junction of the chains is an ancient book tied to it, which seems to seal it.
[Don't be careless, although this ring is sealed, the smell on its body is very unusual. Tango reminded.
"The sealed ring... Could it be that these white bones have something to do with it?" Elluman didn't know if it was the cold or the cold heart caused by palpitations, and he rubbed his body and stepped back vigilantly. I just want to find a way out, and it's not worth it to take my life.
"Let's get out of here. Bud, who had been silently behind Eluman, whispered, remembering what had happened to him not long ago in Kuishan, the same mess, and then something unusual and strange had happened.
"Well, let's go. Eluman was turning to leave the place when there was a sudden "clanging" of chains behind him.
"Don't go, hey!" Ancient books struggled desperately as if they were alive, shouting, "Help the old man, don't go!"
