Just as this small black shadow was wrapped around Jiang Yan's hand, Ai Lulu subconsciously wanted to shout, but she still reacted quickly and held back.

Because this dark shadow is not something strange, but a home-bred psychic creature. Shadow Fiend.

Ever since the Shadow Demon came back with Ember, it has made the vicinity of the monastery its home, and it is easy to wander around the forest every day.

This time, when he came to Night Song, Jiang Yan still brought the Shadow Demon with him just in case.

It's not ...... It came in handy on the first night, didn't it.

After gently taking the Shadow Demon in his palm, Jiang Ember smiled slightly and whispered:

"Why, after a night of playing, I was finally willing to come back?"

Actually, he let the Shadow Demon out early last night, but this guy didn't come back until early in the morning.

Judging from the size of this manor, this guy shouldn't have to scout all night to get results, so he must have sneaked around.

Originally, Jiang Yan didn't have any problem with this idea, but after the Shadow Demon returned, he just glanced at Ai Lulu who was sitting opposite strangely, and he whispered:

"Master...... The manor...... It's weird."

The moment he heard this, Jiang Yan said angrily and funny: "Nonsense, I also know that there is something weird, otherwise what would I send you out for?"

"No...... No, I mean there's something weird in this manor."

"Something weird? Where is it, what is it?"

"I don't know what it is, it's so poisonous I can't get close."

Too poisonous? Can't get closer? What do you mean?

Shadow Demon's words can be said to have made Jiang Ember a little inexplicable.

Indeed, this rotten wood manor is full of all kinds of poisonous flowers and poisonous plants, which are indeed extremely poisonous.

But Shadow Demon is not a living creature, but a pure energy creature from the subspace.

Its body itself is made of pure energy, not even flesh and blood, what kind of toxicity are you afraid of?

But according to Shadow Fiend's description, it's not a joke, but it has actually encountered something highly poisonous that even it can't get close to.

"It was indeed in a huge cavity under this manor, and although I found the entrance, I was forced to get too close by the poisonous gas when I went down."

"Poison gas...... Aren't you an energy body? Why are you afraid of poison?"

Hearing what his master said, Shadow Fiend said in the tone of a conversation with a fool:

"Master, you can't help but underestimate poison, how can poison be such an unchanging thing."

「....... You mean there's a poison so strong that it can be eroded by energy?"

"Not only energy, there are countless powerful poisonous creatures in the astral plane, and some of them can even corrode space."

"Well, that's my loneliness."

Now that the Shadow Demon had already talked about this, Jiang Ember had no choice but to nod his head, and at the same time quickly began to think.

What's going on? Why did Bridges raise such a poisonous thing under the headquarters of her own estate?

If it was a poison that even a pure energy body like Shadow Demon couldn't bear, then a normal person would have died long ago when he encountered it.

If such a dangerous thing is placed under the headquarters, if an earthquake suddenly shakes out the poisonous gas or something one day, wouldn't the entire organization be wiped out?

No way...... There was not enough information at hand to understand Bridges' thoughts.

After sighing slightly, Jiang Ash's gaze turned to Ellulu, who was sitting opposite.

But now, although there is no way to understand what Briggis wants to do, Jiang Shen can clearly feel that this matter has something to do with Ellulu.

A highly poisonous creature that ordinary people can't approach, and the invincible constitution on Elulu's body that can convert poison into medicinal properties.

Tie the two

Taken together, it is not difficult to understand why the "Rotten Wood Court" would revere her as a "holy woman".

Because Elulu, who has this kind of physique, is probably the only human who can get close to that poisonous area.

In other words, there should be something or something in the center of the poison zone that is very important to the "Rotten Wood Court".

After understanding this, Jiang Yan nodded secretly, stood up and said to Ailulu:

"I'm sorry, I'm a little sick to my stomach, I have to go to the toilet, you can ...... first"

Before she finished speaking, Ellulu took the initiative to raise her hand and said, "I'm going to talk to Aunt Bridges, I haven't talked to her for a long time, I have to seize this opportunity."

As she spoke, the big smart eyes blinked slightly, and the meaning was clearly self-evident.

Jiang Shen said that he was going to the toilet, but in fact he was planning to investigate some strange place with the Shadow Fiend.

At such times, Ellulu's best aid was to go over and hold Brigiss in tow, so that the Grand Master would not have time to pay attention to the others' actions.

For Ai Lulu's intimate care and assistance, Jiang Yan patted her little head with satisfaction, and then quickly walked towards the toilet in the corner of the manor not far away.

The toilets in the manor are very secluded, there are not many people around, and there are small yellow flowers planted here and there to ward off odors.

Once inside the restroom, Ember released the Shadow Fiend from his sleeve and nodded at it.

Crash! The next moment, I saw that the body of the Shadow Demon seemed to turn into a huge pool of black cloth! Directly enveloped ginger embers in it!

When the Shadow Demon completely covered Jiang Ember with his body, the two disappeared into the shadows of the toilet together.

Of course, in fact, Jiang Ember and the Shadow Demon did not really disappear, but sneaked into the shadows to get the semi-invisible effect.

With the help of Shadow Fiend's ability called "Fallen Shadow", Ember was able to walk through the shadows with it.

As long as there is a shadow, you can basically touch it silently.

And this rotten wood manor is full of all kinds of plants, so that there are large and small shadows everywhere, and it is completely a paradise for creatures like Shadow Fiend.

When he looked at his palm, he realized that he had completely blended in with the shadows of the wall.

Jiang Yan also carefully pushed open the small window of the toilet and flipped out of the window.

Not long after moving out, Jiang Shen saw a female druid in charge of monitoring him around the corner.

The female druid was staring at the toilet he had just come out of the window, looking very serious.

Hmph, you stare slowly....... I won't accompany you.

After secretly waving his hand at the watcher, Jiang Ember sneaked all the way in the direction indicated by the Shadow Fiend.

The place where the Shadow Fiend spoke of going underground was in a stone house in the deepest part of the manor.

The stone house was obviously very different from the other buildings, and there were as many as seven or eight druids standing guard nearby.

These druids are all shrewd and vigilant, and there is only one entrance to the stone house, so ordinary people will never be able to sneak in.

But fortunately, Jiang Ember is not a mortal now, he is a subspace monster who can fall into the shadows like the Shadow Demon.

After a short time, this person quietly walked around the shadow next to the stone house, and walked into the door with a few people who were transporting goods.

It's also a coincidence, as soon as Jiang Yan arrived, a group of staff members wearing strange costumes came outside the stone house.

The staff members were wearing clothes that were noticeably different from those of ordinary druids, with a very simple style and a white half-face mask on their faces.

The half-face mask covered their noses and mouths, and there seemed to be some cavities in the mask, as if something was in it.

And these strangely dressed staff were transporting batches of goods into the stone chamber, as if they were making some preparations.

And that wasn't all, as they entered the stone chamber

Later, the first thing Jiang Ember saw was a huge glass enclosure.

The glass enclosure is made of clear glass on all sides, and in addition to two beds side by side, there are some very strange-looking amenities.

For the Shadow Fiend who had been to this stone chamber before, there was nothing to worry about in the décor.

But Jiang Ember immediately felt a sense of something wrong after coming in with those staff.

This....... What the hell is the place? Looks like ....... Ward? No, the operating room?

After being stunned at the door for a moment, Jiang Yan reluctantly found a relatively appropriate adjective.

Yes, the ward, although the facilities seem to be very primitive and simple, you can already see the prototype of the ward.

At this moment, the staff wearing face masks were still taking out some strange utensils and potions from the cargo box.

These include blades, towels, chisels, and saws, which are very sharp at first glance...... There are also some weirdly colored infusion bags and utensils that Jiang Ember can't even name.

In this case, if two patients were put in those two beds, it would be a ready-made operating room.

Everything in this glass operating room, although primitive, is very exquisite, and everything is immaculately cleaned.

But it is so spotless, but it makes Jiang Ember have an indescribable weirdness and horror.

What the? Why did Bridges set up such an operating room? Is she going to have some kind of treatment here?

If yes, why...... Why are there two beds next to each other in the operating room?

Before Jiang Ember could figure out what was happening here and what might happen in the future.

The Shadow Fiend whispered in his ear, "The way to that underground cavity is ahead, you have to get in from here."

As soon as it said this, Jiang Ember realized that there was a path at the end of this stone chamber.

Forget it, this time I'm mainly here to investigate the underground poison, so let's pay attention to that side first.

After secretly jotting down the situation in this strange operating room, Jiang Ember followed the instructions of the Shadow Demon and walked into the depths.

This stone room is not big, but the passage inside is tortuous, especially the path that spirals down in front of it is like there is no end, and it is pitch black when you look down.

And just when he started to walk out of the underground passage of the stone chamber for a distance, Jiang Ember realized that the underground of the manor was actually a natural stalactite cave.

Crossing the narrow entrance of the cave, the space in the cave suddenly opened up, and even divided into many forks, making this underground stone cave like a labyrinth, completely unable to distinguish between the upper and lower directions.

But fortunately, the Shadow Demon had been here for a long time before, and he had already figured out the path of this underground stone cave.

So Jiang Ember followed its instructions while observing the rare beauty in the cave.

The light underneath is already very dim, and many of the landscapes look hazy, adding a bit of mystery and fantasy.

But the more he walked forward, the more Jiang Yan felt that the cold air in this underground space became more and more obvious.

Hiss...... What's going on? Why does it feel so cold?

He couldn't help but hug his arms, his brow furrowed slightly, and asked in a low voice, "Shadow Demon, how long will it take to get to where you said?"

"Well, it's coming soon....... Oh, look over there."

Suddenly, Jiang Ember looked in the direction that the shadow demon said, and he couldn't see it, and he was directly stunned.

Originally, there were all kinds of stalactites everywhere in this underground cave, and the main component of stalactites was calcium carbonate, which should look gray.

But just above the cave in front of him, the stalactites that Jiang Shen saw showed a crystal-like texture and luster for some reason!

This...... What is this? Why is it ...... Will it turn out like this?

With a stomach full of doubts, Jiang Ember couldn't help but walk towards the crystal glittering

Glow, and the surface is smooth as a mirror stalactite, want to find out.

But before he could get over, the Shadow Fiend stopped, "Wait, master, these crystals are highly poisonous, I think it's better not to come near them."

"What? Are crystals highly toxic? That's what you're talking about......."

"yes, I accidentally touched these crystals before, and this part became like this."

Shadow Fiend said as he placed a small piece of his body in front of Ember for him to see.

At this glance, Jiang Ember realized that the area of the Shadow Demon seemed to be frostbitten, and it was still emitting a strange smell.

"All of these crystals are very toxic, so poisonous that I have never seen them before, and further on, there are such crystals everywhere, so I said there is no way to get close."

Seeing that the master understood the ferocity of this place, the shadow demon conjured a finger and pointed to the area ahead, meaning that there was an impassable minefield.

Looking at the large crystalline stalactites that appeared densely in front of him, Jiang Ember also roughly understood the meaning of the shadow demon.

If all the crystals here are highly poisonous, then the deepest part of this underground cavern is simply a forbidden area for the living, and whoever goes is dead.

Of course....... This probably doesn't include Ellulu, who has almost a natural body that is immune to poison.

From this point of view, it is likely that the Rotten Wood Court is trying to use Elulu to get something into the crystal cave...... In that case, let's give it a try.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ember took a deep breath, a pomegranate-colored flame oozed from the palm of his right hand, and grabbed at a small piece of crystal nearby.

"Huh? Master? You're ........"

"It's okay, if this thing is poisonous if it comes into direct contact, it should be able to take it down if it is wrapped in flames...... It's done."

Under the surprised gaze of the Shadow Demon, Jiang Ember wrapped his palm in the fire of love and forcibly broke off a small piece of crystal clock***.

After wrapping the fast crystal with flames, Jiang Ember couldn't help but have an extremely bold idea in his heart.

Let's take it back and see if Ellulu is immune to this toxicity, if she can...... Let's start first.
