The first floor of the Statue Pavilion. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Jörmungård wrapped its body around the statue of Admiral Alathor, its front half tensed, its pupils fixed on the closed door. There was a sound of footsteps coming from far and near outside the door.

This is definitely the most difficult task it has ever received since following Lin Qiu. Out of the monster's instinct, it sensed how powerful this uninvited guest was, and the other party had no intention of restraining its own strength, and the wild and impactful notching force made its little heart flutter and beat non-stop.

The basiosaur species are mostly quiet and lazy creatures, and when their hearts are pounding, they are in a state of restlessness.

It's just a young snake, so why fight against powerful and cunning humans?

Jörmungard tilted his head and hesitated. However, it thought about it, since following Lin Qiu, it had basically not made any efforts, but the master had been providing him with good food and drink, and it could also see that the master attached great importance to this place, otherwise it would not have left it a snake here.

This is the only order of the master.

Jörmungård heard the door slammed, and as it did, the feeling of oppression rose to its peak—it instinctively bounced itself out, swooping down on the man who pushed the door in. It hoped that its imfully developed venom glands would produce enough venom to stun the other.

The person who pushed the door in obviously did not expect Jörmungård's lightning attack, but unfortunately Jörmungård's strength was limited, and its wide open mouth ended up biting the other man's shoulder.

"Ouch!"

Then, it heard a woman's exclamation.

"What are you doing, what are you doing here?" Helena painedly parted Jörmungård's teeth with her hand, and Jörmungård wrapped it around her arm, settling in a 'I won't listen, I'm going to bite you to death' stance. It only after hearing the familiar voice that it looked up in confusion and stared at Helena.

In fact, with Helena's skills, it would have been easy to take out the attackers who had ambushed her, but her thinking changed three times when she entered. At a glance, she recognized that it was Lin Qiu's pet who pounced on her, and just as she wondered why Jörmungad, who had always been inseparable from Lin Qiu, was here, the little guy had already bitten her on the shoulder.

Compared to Helena, Jörmungård's mind was undoubtedly much simpler. When it pounced, it didn't even see who was intruder.

"Sure enough, that guy did it!" Helena sighed helplessly when she saw that Jörmunga was wrapped around her hand as if she had found a belonging. She should have thought that there would be someone who would leave a 'sea monster inside' on the door number, who else could there be besides Lin Qiu. She estimated that Lin Qiu had left Ye Mengjia here to scare off the servants and guards who were overly curious: "Say, what did he leave you here for?"

Jörmungader's two big eyes spun around in a daze, and immediately bowed half of his body in a flattering manner, and poked his head into the middle of the statue pavilion to spin the staircase. In its opinion, this "big sister" named Helena is responsible for the combat effectiveness of the Big Three along with its owner and Alyssa, and now that it has such a strong backer, it is not afraid of getting dark!

"Oh, there's still a place like this?"

Helena blinked, it was clearly a secret passage leading nowhere. She had to admire Lin Qiu's luck, she had only been away for such a short time, and the other party had found such a secret place. This sudden progress made her forget the unhappiness of meeting Maran Fuyin for a while, and she walked to the door of the statue hall, and with a slight slide of her index finger on the door, the gap between the two doors suddenly closed, and within three seconds, the door of the statue hall became an impregnable wall.

After doing these things, Helena patted Jörmungård's head: "Don't worry, so that no one will come in." ”

......

The dim glow of the fire, the ancient castle located underground, such a scene satisfies the fantasy of any archaeologist. Helena walked up the stone steps with interest, and the footprints in the dust proved that someone had been here not long ago.

She followed the fresh footsteps to the room at the end of the first floor of the castle.

There was a woman in the room with her back to her. The woman sat calmly in a chair, her long black hair falling down her fiery red dress. She was holding a thick book in her hand and reading it with relish.

Ever since King Ryan built the underground castle for her, these books have been Phoenix's staple of relieving boredom. Thanks to these various books, she gradually calmed down when she was tyrannical and abnormal. And her prejudice against human beings has gradually changed.

Human life is so short and small compared to high-level monsters. But the more she tries to understand humanity, the more surprising she becomes, the vast majority of whom have used their short decades of life to create experiences that Phoenix could not have imagined. In particular, there is a profession among humans called bards, who write sentences that create a world that makes Phoenix staggering.

In the eyes of monsters, the definition of "food" is the source of satisfying their energy needs, and when they enter the level of high-level monsters, food becomes dispensable. But what an incredible imagination that humans can write books on "food" and associate them with the rise and fall of a kingdom!

At the end of the Akalando civilization, some humans had gradually broken away from the boundaries of lifespan and possessed near-eternal vitality similar to high-level monsters.

Phoenix could feel that the woman standing behind her at the moment was one of them.

Close friends and powerful enemies are often the most memorable for monsters. Helena clearly falls into the latter category, with Aze Terres, Maranferin, Cervera, and Helena Murphy...... When these humans were active, it was when the last wave of demons swept across the continent.

"You seem to have changed a lot. Helena was the first to speak.

The last time she saw Phoenix, the other party was a fierce beast soaring in the sky, and the flaming wings that almost obscured half of the sky were enough to make most knights have nightmares. Just a change in "form" doesn't change the essence of Phoenix.

That's why Phoenix didn't have to look back to recognize Helena.

But Helena could never have imagined that the bird of prey, who once tried to destroy humanity's last line of defense, would one day read human books with relish in an ancient castle.

"And, what's your power?" asked Helena. Although the breath has not changed, the energy in the other party's body is extremely thin.

Phoenix closed the book and turned his head to look at the former formidable enemy: "So...... Are you an enemy or a friend?"
