Chapter 125
A faint sigh, the voice seemed to come from the abyss of hell: "It's been hundreds of years, and finally someone is coming again......"
The original indifferent face of the vultures was already full of excitement, and he couldn't help but take two steps forward. γReading.comγ
"Aren't you the big snake?" the stone statue glanced at the vultures, cracked its mouth and smiled, "Why are you running here again?"
Vulture glared at the stone statue and said coldly, "Don't talk nonsense! You gatekeeper, open the door!"
The stone statue opened its mouth wide and let out a loud roar, and the wind exhaled, blowing the grass on the ground around it crookedly, and the corners of its vultures fluttered, but its face remained grim.
"I'm so angry, you dare to say that I'm a janitor!" The stone statue opened its mouth wide, revealing a mouth full of sharp fangs, and said loudly: "You big snake with a long tail, you dare to say that about me!"
Vulture glanced at it and said coldly: "Don't talk nonsense, you lion, I have met the conditions to wake you up, hurry up and open the door!"
"Woo......" The stone statue roared, sat down slowly, and said in a deep voice: "Okay! Then, answer my question, and I'll let you in!"
"Question?" vultures frowned, "What question?"
Roddy quietly took a few steps forward, stood far away beside the vultures, and laughed loudly: "Vultures, haven't you read the canons of the Cult of God? β
"What are you talking about?" "What canon is it, you watchdog of the Protoss!"
Sdeckers raised his head and let out another long roar, the sound wave that shook Roddy and couldn't help but cover his ears.
"You big snake, if you dare to insult me again, Master Szincs, I will eat you!" it roared in its throat, and cried out, "All right, stop talking nonsense! Don't disturb my rest again, and whoever can answer my question, I'll let him in!"
The vulture's mouth grown, "No! No! That's not what the Silvermoon Clan's scriptures say!"
"What animal walks on four legs in the morning, two at noon, and three at night?" he cried out. β
As soon as Luo Di heard the first sentence, he chuckled in his heart: "Sure enough, this riddle is still the same as the record in the canon." Hasn't this guy known for hundreds of years?"
According to the description of the sphinoid in the canon of the Cult of God, this is a magical beast, the best person to guard the portal for the gods, and in order to pass through it, it is necessary to answer its riddles - and in the canon, the riddle that Sdex likes to ask is: What animal walks on four legs in the morning, two legs at noon, and three legs at night?
Roddy was confident, and when Snickers' voice had just fallen, and the vultures were still frowning and thinking, he immediately shouted without hesitation: "People! The answer is: people!"
Snickers opened his mouth wide and let out a howl, then whispered indignantly, "That's right! You human, you're in." β
At the end, Roddy felt as if his body was being pulled by the force, and involuntarily rushed towards the shining stone door.
Vulture roared violently, "Bastard! I should have gone in!"
Sdecx let out a loud roar, and before Roddy could see what was going on, he felt a loud bang, and then saw that the vultures had already flown sideways. In the lion's roar, he heard Snickes' voice: "Whoever does not answer the question, do not enter!"
Vultures got up from the ground, their faces full of anger, and roared wildly, and a cloud of white light appeared on their bodies, and in the dazzling white light, Vulture's body suddenly changed-he grew bigger and bigger, and with a last roar, the vultures were gone, and a huge serpent roared at Sdex with a dozen heads held high.
The head of the snake opened its mouth of blood, and a red flame erupted towards Sfenx. Snickers' mouth opened and he let out a roar of rage at the flames. In an invisible sound wave, the flames immediately split apart and dispersed. Szks roared, "You lowly little snake, how dare you be rude to me Lord Szincs! Even the demon dragon must be polite to me!" After saying that, the long mouth roared again, and the big snake flew out sideways like a lightning strike, and smashed down several big trees on the edge of the meadow.
The serpent let out a long roar and took on a human form. Vultures rose from the ground and spurted out a mouthful of blood before they could stand still. Glaring at Szincs, he suddenly grew his mouth and spat out a small, shiny prismatic thing from his mouth.
Roddy's mind immediately heard Andy shouting, "This is it! I felt that powerful aura coming from this thing! Hell, I thought it was the breath from the vultures!"
Snicks' face showed uneasiness: "Dragon's teeth!
Vulture's face was iron-blue, his face was hideous, he was no longer the chief of the Flame Tribe who was at ease, his eyes glared at Sdex, and his palm slowly stretched out to hold the dragon tooth in the palm of his hand, and in a flame, the dragon tooth in his hand transformed into a giant long sword in the shape of a sharp edge!
"Szks, won't you let me in!" cried out vultures, gripping the hilt of her sword with both hands.
Although Roddy stood behind the stone statue, he felt an invisible aura rushing over his face, and that evil aura seemed to carry an incomparably violent aura, piercing his exposed skin to pain.
Szincs raised his head to the sky and roared, "Do you think that a dragon's tooth can make me Sdecx-striking!
Vulture gritted his teeth and shouted, "Anyway, I must go in today! You go to die!" Before he could move, his figure suddenly disappeared in place, and after a white light, he had already appeared in front of Sdecx, and the giant dragon tooth sword in his hand slashed his head.
In the midst of Sz's roar, there was an earth-shattering loud bang, and a milky white light curtain appeared in front of Szincs, which covered the entire tree, and also covered Sznicks and Roddy inside.
The giant dragon tooth sword swirling with flames slashed hard at the light curtain, causing a strong vibration. But I can't cut even half an inch again!
Sdex roared wildly, the vultures had already taken a few steps back, gasped, spurted out another mouthful of blood, twisted and pounced, and with another loud bang, the long sword slashed on the light curtain again, and Sfenx's roar was even more violent, but the light curtain seemed to be faintly dimmed. The vultures didn't back down this time, but their mouths opened and they spurted out a mouthful of blood again.
His face turned pale, as if the blood vessels under his skin could be clearly seen, and his face was hideous.
"Boy, what else are you looking at!Get in!" Andy's voice reminded Roddy. Roddy immediately walked to the shining stone door, the stone door opened automatically, only to hear another loud bang behind him, Roddy didn't dare to look back again, and rushed in stride.
As soon as Roddy took a step forward, the stone door behind him had suddenly closed, and there was no light in the tree hole, but he could still faintly feel the vibration coming from outside, and the vultures and Sdex were still fighting.
Since he couldn't see with his eyes, Luo Di had to reach out and touch it, where did he know that there were walls on the left and right, and when he touched it, he felt empty, his body lost his balance, and he couldn't help but take a step forward - this step went out, but he stepped into the air, and the person fell headlong.
There is a passage in this tree hole, all the way down, the slope is also very steep, Luo Di is like a gourd like a bone rolling down, all the way to hit him all over the body in severe pain, his brain is also full of meat, his body is already very weak, although he grabbed two dead vines in a hurry, but his hands are weak but he can't grasp it at all, and he still keeps rolling down with a long breath.
With a bang, Roddy seemed to have fallen into the water. He was caught off guard and choked on a few mouthfuls of water before he could barely stand up. The water didn't seem to be deep, and it didn't reach his thighs when he stood up, but the water was frighteningly cold. It was as if the wind was blowing faintly again, and Roddy was soaking wet, and he shivered from the cold.
In the dark, he walked slowly forward in the direction of the wind, but this time he was full of energy, and moved forward step by step, for fear that there would be any downhill road to roll down.
After a few steps, I walked out of the pool and stepped onto the ground. Strange to say, the water on Roddy's body dried up very quickly, and several wounds on his body in the forest today, after being soaked in this water, immediately felt comfortable, and those wounds were no longer painful, they all became itchy. Roddy didn't hurry forward, so he squatted on the edge of the pool and picked up the water to practice. There was still sludge in the mud in his mouth and nose, and he quickly cleaned it to feel much more comfortable. There's no disgusting taste in my mouth anymore.
I just felt a sudden coolness in my head, as if the bones in my body were a little lighter, and Shu Tai seemed to be about to fly.
"This water is a little strange......" As soon as Roddy thought of this thought, he heard Andy's voice sound: "Boy, this seems to be holy water, you bathe in holy water, but what a blessing, even His Majesty the Pope is not as extravagant as you." β
"Holy water?" Luo Di was stunned for a moment, his heart moved, and he quickly pulled open his clothes and carefully touched a few wounds on his body, only to feel that the skin was smooth to the touch, and those wounds had actually healed!
"Sure enough, it's holy water. Roddy sighed. He had used holy water to treat his injuries in the army, but holy water was a very precious thing, and ordinary people could not afford to use it. Holy water not only has the ability to heal wounds, but also magicians and warlocks can drink it, and it can also replenish the mana consumed.
Luo Di sighed and said with a wry smile: "It's a pity that I'm not a warlock or a magician, and this holy water can't supplement the warrior's fighting spirit." After saying that, he stood up, shook his head slightly, and continued to walk forward.
"Yi?" As soon as he took a few steps, he felt a faint light in front of him, and Luo Di said in a low voice: "What's something? It can't be the magic dragon, right?"
Andy's voice sounded in his head, "What do you say? You've already made up your mind to come in before the vultures, right? Do you want to slay the dragon?"
Roddy sighed: "I don't know either. Don't be kidding, who am I, I can also kill dragons? That's the magic dragon that challenges the gods in legends and myths, not to mention the magic dragon, even if it's a vulture, it can easily kill me. β
"Hmph, you're still a little self-aware!Boy, what did you think about when you broke in like this?"
Luo Di shook his head, but he didn't watch out for knocking on a wall next to him, touched his head with a wry smile, and said in a low voice: "I said, I don't know." You can't let the vultures in anyway. If he wakes up that dragon, will everyone have a better life? Haven't you read the canons of the Cult of God? Hmph, the demon dragon, with the word 'demon' in its name, probably not a good thing...... Do you think, if a dragon runs into the human world, it won't be messed up?"
"Hahahaha......" Andy burst out laughing: "You kid has a very noble mind, but what do you do now?
Luo Di shook his head: "Whatever, let's go and have a look first, maybe while the dragon is asleep, I will go up and kill it with a sword." β
"I think you're looking for death. β
Luo Di said lightly: "If you are looking for death, you can find death, anyway, as long as the vultures can't get in." You can't really resurrect any demon dragon, right?"
Andy's voice was silent for a moment before he whispered, "Boy, are you really here?"
"Hmph. Luo Di didn't stop and said in a low voice: "Who doesn't want life? It's really not going to work, if you lose a life, you lose it. In short, if I were to stand aside and watch this vulture wake up the demon dragon and do nothing on its own, then I can't do it!"
"I really don't know if you're great or stupid. Andy muttered.
The light in front of him was getting closer and closer, and Roddy's steps were getting lighter and lighter, and after taking a few steps, he was stunned......
The passage in front of you is full of all kinds of brilliant brilliance!
The walls on both sides, on the ground, and on the top of the head, were all inlaid with all kinds of colorful gemstones, all of which radiated a dazzling brilliance, each one the size of an egg.
Roddy opened his mouth wide and sighed for a long time: "Good fellow! β
Reaching out and gently caressing the unevenness on the wall, I couldn't help but grab a gemstone with my hand and gently pick it out. The gem was immediately snatched out by him.
Luo Di snorted, pinched the gem and looked left and right, and smiled: "Andy, it's rich now, how can this gem be worth one or two thousand gold coins, right?"
Andy sneered: "You are now the Duke of Tulip, and you can take out one or two thousand gold coins at your fingertips." β
Roddy rolled his eyes: "What duke, it's all fake." In the future, when I am no longer a duke, this gem will be worth a lot!"
Luo Di thought for a while, put the gem into his arms, and casually wanted to pick out the gems on the wall, took a few pieces, and suddenly laughed: "I'm really stupid, I don't know if I have a life or not! What is the use of taking these things." He smiled, stopped glancing at the colorful things on the wall, and walked forward.
After walking for a while, Luo Di suddenly couldn't help but say, "Andy, why do you say there are so many gems here?"
"I heard that dragons are greedy for money, and they like shiny things, such as diamonds, gold, and precious stones, all of which they like to collect the most. This place is the place where the dragon is sealed - well, the so-called imprisonment, which means putting the dragon here and letting it sleep...... Haven't you ever seen how people put a child to sleep, always holding a child's favorite toy to lull him to sleep? These gems are just for the sake of coaxing that dragon......"
Roddy took a breath and said with a wry smile: "Then I just took a few gems, and I hope that dragon won't think of me as someone who is stealing toys from it...... I know that children are absolutely merciless when it comes to fighting people who grab toys from them. β
The passage went further and further down, and the more and more gems appeared on the walls on both sides, until finally the front walls seemed to be covered with gems, and the further you went inside, the bigger the gems became, and the more dazzling the brilliance became, so that people couldn't open their eyes.
Luo Di suddenly paused and suddenly shouted, "No!!"
Andy was taken aback by him and said angrily, "What are you crazy about?"
Roddy stopped, his face was a little pale, and said in a low voice: "I suddenly remembered a sentence from Sdeckers, I don't know if you noticed ......"
"What's that? The human-faced lion said a lot. β
Roddy took a deep breath: "First sentence...... The first thing he said when he woke up ......"
Andy said coldly: "What's wrong with that sentence? I remember what he said was: It's been hundreds of years, and finally someone is here again." Is there anything wrong with that?"
Roddy's eyes flashed with a strange look, and his tone was a little strange: "Didn't you think of it? Andy? The first few words: hundreds of years......
Andy was silent for a while, and his voice was a little strange: "By the way...... According to the legend of the Demon Dragon, it should have been sealed here for at least a thousand years...... It's been a thousand years since the Silver Moon Clan was tasked with guarding this valley...... But what Snickers said......"
Roddy whispered silently: "It's been hundreds of years, and someone finally came...... with a complicated smile on his face: "That is, hundreds of years ago...... Over here...... Has anyone come in?"
