Chapter 416: The Lost Dungeon (Part I)
Although this black-haired and white-bellied mouse is very cute, with big ears and anthropomorphic movements and demeanor that look very similar to Jerry in the cartoon, I have to say that it is ...... As it rubbed its hands together and laughed grossly, everyone felt an indescribable obscenity.
"This rat is so greasy." Yan Que couldn't help but complain, and said with a look of disgust, "I don't think it's definitely a good mouse." ”
"How can you judge a rat by its appearance......"
Kui Nan stretched out her hand and gently poked its belly, it felt like poking it on a cotton ball, and it suddenly felt very fun.
"I think this little cub is pretty cute haha."
"You know what those monsters are doing in the wasteland?" Chen Bofu asked coldly.
The black-haired mouse nodded cautiously.
Although it was afraid of the old man in front of it, it had to know about the wasteland...... It dares to admit the second, but no one dares to admit the first!
"I've been here before, but I've never seen you." Chen Bofu walked to the side and sat down, lit a cigarette for himself again, and stared at the black-haired mouse with an expressionless face, "When did you come to settle here?" ”
"A year ago." The black-haired mouse said truthfully, and then hurriedly added, "I used to live in the depths of the wasteland because I liked the tranquility there, but now that it's getting more and more lively, I moved here." ”
"What the hell can this place be lively?" Chen Bofu was stunned.
"Oh, you know, although this place is called a biological forbidden area, there are still many old descendants and polluted species who don't have long brains, and they either want to settle here to survive, or just to find a dungeon......"
Hearing the words of the black-haired mouse, Qiao Youning, who was standing on the side, couldn't help but nodded, indicating that the temple did have a lot of actions about the dungeon.
"Three thousand six hundred years ago, there was a fairly prosperous human settlement in the Western Continent, and because the Western Continent was always shrouded in extreme weather at that time, that settlement was built underground, which is the so-called 'Elysium City'."
"Elysium...... Right! It seems to be called that name! Chen Bofu patted his thigh lightly and suddenly said, "Although Randolph and I didn't find the entrance to the ruins of the dungeon, we did see the engraved stone tablets in many places, and the ancient text on it was translated by Hazard, which is the Elysium City!" ”
After that, Chen Bofu seemed to have thought of something, and hurriedly looked at the black-haired mouse.
"Little cub, do you know where the dungeon is?"
The black-haired mouse didn't say anything, and his face hesitated, obviously knowing the answer, but he didn't want to say it for some reason.
"If you don't want to say it, Lao Tzu is ......"
Before Chen Bofu's threat could be spoken, the black-haired mouse scratched his head and began to pace back and forth very tangledly, his round white belly also swaying, like a balloon filled with water.
"I just don't want to kill you......" said the black-haired mouse, "that place is dangerous...... The people who ever found it there are dead...... Including the monks of the Hanging City and the monks of the monasteries...... In fact, every few years someone finds ......"
As soon as she heard this, Qiao Youning's face suddenly changed.
"The monk who was sent by your temple to the Western Continent to find the dungeon has any disappearance record?" Chen Bofu turned around and asked.
"Yes...... It's not a small ......," Qiao Youning said in a low voice.
"Actually, the monks of the Eternal Night City have also been here, but they come much less often than the people of the other two sects, and they have been unlucky enough to find the dungeon...... But this can also be regarded as their fate, right? The black-haired mouse said.
"Damn, then we didn't find it last time, can it be considered our fate?" Chen Bofu didn't like to listen to the mouse, so he glared at it angrily.
"That place depends on luck." The black-haired mouse didn't see the anger on Chen Bofu's face, and said to himself, "The dungeon is suspended in the River Styx, and only when it floats up will it be discovered." ”
"Styx??"
Qiao Youning was stunned again, only to find that many of the information said by the black-haired mouse could correspond to the records in the temple.
"What Styx?" Chen Bofu looked puzzled.
Although the old man once personally led a team to the Western Continent to look for the dungeon, that treasure hunting experience can only be described by the word "miserable" with a capital letter.
Not only did he not find anything, but he was also "chopped" by the ancient gods of the Western Continent, if he hadn't run fast, he would probably have to explain it here.
So afterwards, he also gave up the exploration of the Western Continent, and after a long time, he lost interest here, and he did not continue to understand the affairs of the Western Continent.
And Qiao Youning, she is from the monastery.
Due to the proximity of the religious mission to the Western Continent, the frequency of the monastery's exploration of the Western Continent is far greater than that of the Hermitage and the Hanging City.
The monastery should have received the most useful information and clues over the years......
"According to legend, the 'City of Elysium', which was built under the Western Continent, was destroyed by the ancient gods who inhabited the Western Continent."
"Yes." Chen Bofu nodded with a cigarette in his mouth, "Anyway, I heard that this is the case, and no one knows what the specific situation is." ”
"Grandpa Chen, in those legends you've heard, did the ancient gods always inhabit this continent?" Qiao Youning looked at the old man and asked curiously, "Is it before the appearance of 'Elysium City' that the ancient gods already existed?" ”
"Seems to be...... Chen Bofu muttered, "I also thought it was strange at the beginning, since the temper of the ancient gods of the Western Continent was so bad, how could they still tolerate the existence of the dungeon for five or six hundred years. ”
"You're right."
Qiao Youning said in a low voice, regardless of the confidentiality level of this information, and directly explained it to the people present.
"Originally, the Western Continent, like the rest of the wasteland, was a polluted death zone, but because of the heavy pollution left over from the old wars, the natural climate here has become very extreme, and the air is filled with invisible remnants of the past."
As soon as the words fell, Qiao Youning drew with her fingers on the ground.
"The initial filth only gathered in the depths of the wasteland, but then it spread for unknown reasons, which also led to the fact that for thousands of years, the Western Continent had the largest number of polluted species and the strongest strength."
"Later, a powerful group of old people appeared here, and they united with all the tribes and wanderers of the Western Continent to wage a protracted war of extermination against the local polluted species......
"The war lasted for hundreds of years, until 3,600 years ago, when the war ended with the victory of the old people, and the 'Elysium' they built under the mainland was completed in the same year."
Speaking of this, Qiao Youning paused slightly, and her tone became more and more solemn.
"That city built underground is actually the cradle of the Old Gods!"
