As soon as the obsidian giant door opened, a cool breath rushed towards him, making Lin You, who was sweating profusely, feel refreshed.

Compared to the heat outside, the temperature inside the castle is much lower, and under this temperature difference, the body surface feels much more comfortable.

"Oooh! It's cool! Xiao Lan roared and prepared to sprint.

With a cautious attitude, Lin You stretched out his hand to block the "wild boar" that wanted to rush in.

He uses a notification system and the "Soul Searching Eye" to prepare to monitor his surroundings first.

This is always the enemy's lair, so you should be cautious.

……

This huge castle seems to have been hewn, carried, carved and built from a single piece of obsidian, and its interior is rather crude, with obvious traces of tools on the walls and floor.

Presumably, under the enslavement of the Fire Demon King, the Black Iron Dwarves are not highly motivated to work, their attitude is not very good, and their work is so-so.

The entire castle is a complex structure, divided into several floors up and down, and each floor has a large number of separate rooms, like a labyrinth.

Through the ability of the "Soul Searching Eye", Lin You saw the dwarves in almost the entire castle in large and small rooms and passages.

At the thick base of the castle, a chilling ice-blue crystal absorbs most of the heat and lowers the temperature inside the castle, allowing the dwarves to live their lives normally.

A little upward, Lin You spotted a magic spring, a black iron dwarf was bending his fat body, using a wooden bucket to draw water from the spring, presumably this was the condition for them to survive here.

Then he saw the smelting furnace and forging table at the other end, but there was no one working around, and it was currently in a state of suspension.

I don't know what caused the dwarves, who are good at blacksmithing, to abandon this traditional craft?

Maybe it's simply because the Fire Demon King doesn't need it!

Looking further up, in the upper part of the castle, he saw a huge pool filled with flames, covering almost the entire upper floor.

It is inhabited by fire demons and some strange other types of lava creatures.

He did not discover the so-called "King of the Fire Demons".

But this is normal.,Since it's the final boss.,It must come on the fifteenth day.,That's when you should be able to officially start the strategy!

The general structure of the Fire Demon Castle was like this, with the help of the "Heavenly Eye", Lin You easily incorporated it into his eyes.

……

"It's a nice place, a self-sufficient ecosystem...... If it weren't too big, I really wanted to move back directly, and this volcano and castle could be regarded as a wonder in the 'dungeon'......"

Lin You stood dumbfounded, pondering his "way to make money", and was distracted for a while.

It wasn't until Xiao Lan poked him lightly next to him that he came back to his senses.

"Shall we go in?" Xiao Lan looked at the dark walls around her and asked timidly.

Lin You nodded and reminded: "Of course, remember to speak quietly after you go in." ”

He took the lead while using the Soul Eye to monitor everything around him.

After figuring out the route, he wanted to go to the magic spring to rest for a while.

After all, "sharpening knives and cutting wood", and then upgrading after resting, should get twice the result with half the effort!

So, the two tiptoed and sneaked into the castle.

At the corner of the end of the main hallway, Lin You and the others met the first "Black Iron Dwarf".

[The dwarves of the Black Iron Clan who were enslaved by the King of Fire Demons have a strength level of about two stars, but the equipment on their bodies will make their true combat strength greater than this level.

Dwarves live long, long, long lives, and as long as they are not wiped out, they can live almost forever.

Now, the fire demons are in charge of controlling them, like shepherd dogs that prevent captive creatures from escaping.

They have left the "imprint of the Fire Demon King" in their minds, and they basically have no normal thinking, which is equivalent to the walking dead. 】

……

"I didn't have a sense of self, but it's much easier."

Lin You is worried about the situation like the last time, and this time there is no psychological burden to kill......

He drew his dagger and was about to give the dwarf a knife, but there was a sound of footsteps next to him, and a small group of seven or eight dwarves came out from the other direction.

In order not to cause chaos, Lin You pulled Xiao Lan to hide in the corner of the wall and gave up the kill plan.

They were not exposed, and after a few moments, the dwarves slowly left.

Xiao Lan stroked her chest in shock, her eyes widened, and she asked Lin You worriedly: "Are these dwarfs very powerful?" ”

"Short ......" Lin You couldn't help laughing.

He shook his head and replied, "No, they are weak, but now I don't want to mess up this place, what we need now is to eat something, drink some water, and then get some sleep, have a good rest, and until then, no war for the time being." ”

"Sleeping here?" Xiao Lan looked around and shrunk her neck.

Sleeping in the enemy's lair, I'm afraid it's crazy - she would love to say that.

But all the previous experiences made her convinced of Lin You's judgment.

As a "life-saving straw" in danger, Lin You is quite reliable, and this "reliable" degree even makes Xiao Lan begin to wonder if she has hugged her thighs.

Otherwise, why is the alien realm on the verge of life and death for others, but for Lin You, it is a game of upgrading and fighting monsters?

Unpredictable prophets, predicting dangers, outstanding strength, and bizarre skills emerge one after another...... She has completely seen the power of Lin You!

Therefore, she dispelled the doubts in her heart, once she came, she would be safe, and simply follow Lin You to the end!

"What else! It's all coming! Get out! ”

With such determination, she closed her mouth and continued to move forward after Lin You.

Lin You quickly found the nearest way to the next floor, and the "Soul Searching Eye" allowed him to skillfully avoid all kinds of enemies, saving him a lot of trouble.

When he came to the next floor, the temperature suddenly dropped a lot, but even so, the sweat on Lin You's body never stopped.

This is a crater, after all.

With such a fire baking underneath, even if there is a magic hedron that cools down, it can't completely withstand the heat.

It's just that the current temperature is acceptable......

……

"The magic spring is in the room in front of me, and I feel that except for the dwarves who fetch water, there are almost no other dwarves here, so it's safe!"

Bypassing several huge stone pillars and passing through the maze, Lin You successfully reached his destination.

In the finishing room, a magical statue appeared in front of the two.

The statue is different from its surroundings in that it is carved out of pure white rock and looks like a griffon - not an earth dragon, but a real "griffon".

The clear spring water is slowly flowing out of its mouth and converging into a small pool in front of it, which is called "magic spring water".

"Water! It's water! Xiao Lan shouted in surprise.

"How did you know there was water here?" She asked curiously.

Looking at Lin You's eyes again, they became even hotter and full of admiration.

Lin You didn't answer - he didn't bother to make up reasons.

He stepped forward, ready to check if the water was drinkable.

But at this time, the long-lost broadcast sounded-

[Congratulations, you have obtained the hidden quest "Wrath of the Water Beast"!] 】

"Task? Over here? Lin You was slightly stunned and continued to check.

[Hidden Quest "Wrath of the Water Beast": Defeat the Fire Demon King and destroy the Fire Demon Castle!]

Quest Tip: This is a water beast's revenge, use all your strength to help "Water" defeat "Fire"!

Reward: "Griffon's Bell". 】

……

"It's actually a task to kill the boss......"

Lin You glanced back at Xiao Lan and found that the other party was staring at him intently, unaware, and didn't seem to have received the same task.

"Come, come here!"

Lin You beckoned to her and pulled Xiao Lan, who was puzzled, to the griffin statue.

After a while, he asked Xiao Lan, "Now, have you received the hidden mission?" ”

"What did you say?" Xiao Lan tilted her head and asked.

It could be seen from her expression that she really did not receive this task.

"Didn't receive ...... It turns out that the hidden quest can only be triggered when the first person approaches? Lin You pinched his chin and muttered to himself.

"What the hell are you talking about, why don't I understand?"

"Oh!" Lin You shook his head, "You don't have to understand...... Aren't you thirsty? Drink water! ”

"It's okay with the water, that's great......"

Xiao Lan immediately knelt on the ground, leaned down, and took a sip of Qingquan with both hands, "Ah! It's so sweet! ”

She was excited for a moment, and then held the cool spring water on her face...... The whole face is instantly cool!

"Ah, that's amazing! I want to jump in and take a shower! ”

She played greedily with the water, and her long-thirsty skin was finally satisfied at this moment.

Because there was enough water in the waterhole and there was a steady stream of spring water flowing out of the statue, Lin You did not stop her wasteful behavior.

His gaze was on the statue in front of him, lingering for a long time.

……

[This statue is the "King of Water" Griffin, who was originally a griffin - a living griffin!]

Dwarves and griffins seem to be a very common combination.

As the king of griffins, Griffin has the "wings of an eagle", dominates the sky, has the "body of a lion king", and dominates the land.

The only thing it is not good at is "water".

So in order to overcome its weaknesses, it took the initiative to practice, whether it was water combat or water magic, it did not let go.

After many years, Griffin's power of "water power" finally became stronger and stronger, even surpassing other aspects, and earned him the reputation of "Lord of Water".

But the good times were short-lived, and the greed of the Black Iron Dwarves hurt themselves and Griffin.

The Fire Demon King allowed the lava to flood the dwarven city-states, enslaving the Black Iron Dwarves.

It stripped the griffons of their original powers, giving them the ability to use fire, and became what is now known as the Earth Dragon.

And the most powerful griffon, named "Griffin", was solidified by the Fire Demon King using magic and turned into a statue.

After many years, Griffin's "water power" is still not exhausted, and it is making a final resistance to the Fire Demon King in this form. 】

……

"A griffin who is good at using water magic...... It's weird, but a statue that can give a hidden mission is a good statue. ”

Lin You stretched out his hand and knocked on Griffin, "Don't worry, I'll take revenge for you...... But I hope you don't make any resurrection drama then, I just want to move you home as a fountain......"

Naturally, the statue would not respond to him.

Hearing Lin You's words, Xiao Lan raised her face and asked curiously, "Who are you talking to?" ”

"With you." Lin You replied casually.

"Nonsense, how can I be a fountain?" Xiao Lan frowned, pretending to be angry.

She repeated silently, the more she pondered it, the more wrong it became, and her already red face became even more beautiful.

"Stinky rascal!" She scolded coquettishly.

“？？？”

The pure Lin You looked innocent.

He sat directly on the ground, took out a few boxes of simple cans from his backpack, and handed them to Xiao Lan.

"Eat and drink first, then get some sleep."

He ate the food and looked at the time, "There are still two hours before the elite monster appears, and I don't know what the situation will be when the time comes, you hurry up and rest!" ”

"It's only two hours, where is enough!"

Xiao Lan pouted and complained, "Besides, what should I do if I can't sleep in such a terrible place?" ”

She asked this question, and no one answered after a while.

Looking back, Lin You nestled in the dark in the corner of the wall, with his eyes closed, and had already begun to fall asleep.

"I really eat and sleep, I have no heart and no lungs!"

Xiao Lan opened the can hatefully and devoured it.

Ten minutes later, she patted her bulging little belly, satisfied.

"Finally, I can eat to my heart's content! Woo, I'm so miserable! ”

After that, she looked at the corner of the wall where Lin You was, and turned her head to look around, except for the dim light on the wall, she couldn't see anything in the darkness around her.

The existential crisis was lifted, and she finally had time to be afraid.

"This dead pig ......"

She crawled up to Lin You and poked it.

No response.

Xiao Lan was ruthless in her heart, so she leaned towards Lin You's side, drilling around like a slippery loach, and finally succeeded in getting into Lin You's arms.

Lin You had already been woken up.

He frowned and shrugged his nose, "Hmm, you stink! ”

"You have to take care of it! It's like you're fragrant! Xiao Lan immediately fought back.

With so much sweat, how can you keep it tidy!

She scolded Lin You angrily in her heart for "not knowing the current affairs", but instead buried her face in his arms and sniffed the smell of him.

"Stinky man! It stinks...... This time, he's really become a 'stinky man'! The whimsy in her mind began again.

"Anyway, it's the first time I've smelled such a stinky guy...... is not polite, does not know how to pity the fragrance and cherishes the jade, and is a standard straight man...... But it's very secure. ”

"There are so many oily noodles with cologne spray and neat hair! The outside is neatly dressed, and the inside is full of filthy things, disgusting......"

She thought about it, and suddenly a flash of inspiration occurred in her heart.

"Oh! No wonder I haven't felt much for them all the time, but is this one the one that really attracts me? ”

So, with a big brain, she finally "woke up" and came to such a strange conclusion.
