Chapter 45: The Darkness of Exile VII.
The second more, the weather is so cold, everyone pays attention to keeping warm, I really envy girls, the weather is cold, there is a protective Shubao to protect the organs.
"The Stone Chamber of Eternal Life?" everyone said in unison, looking at each other, and saying that they had not heard of it, August was silent for a while, looked at Cohen, and said in a deep voice: "When I was studying in the Lion War Crusader City, I was fortunate to meet an elderly elven bard, and spent almost three years reading various ancient documents about the continent of Noah and even the continent of Arad from him. ”
Cohen didn't sell it, and when August finished speaking, he continued the topic: "The Stone Chamber of Eternal Life and the Dew of the Tree of the World, and the Key of the Vast Epic are also called the glory of Arad, and they are in charge of the three realms of time, life and death, and space. The legends or specific documents about these three vessels were lost long before the time of the gods. Looking at everyone's expressions of disbelief, Cohen cleared his throat and continued: "The underground cave we are in now, if I remember correctly, is the dark labyrinth on the outermost periphery of the Immortal Life Stone Chamber, the labyrinth is sealed with the holy souls of many ancient powerhouses, and the monsters of the labyrinth are ridiculously strong with the help of absorbing the power of the holy souls. For example, the python dragon you encountered took almost six hundred years to reach the six wings, but with the help of the power of the Holy Soul, it may not take a hundred years. ”
Coria suddenly interrupted Cohen and asked, "You just said that this endless underground cavern is the outer labyrinth of the Immortal Life Stone Chamber, so in other words, the Immortal Life Stone Chamber exists?
"It is true, the Life Stone Chamber may be thousands of miles away from here, or it may be a step away, and this legendary vessel that is hard to come by, how much chance it takes, you don't need me to explain the difficulties of it, Koria. A sneer appeared at the corner of Cohen's mouth, and he looked at Coria playfully.
"I think too much!" Coria rubbed her hands awkwardly, but she made up her mind in her heart, if she could get out of the maze alive, she would definitely bring this news out of the herm, under the endless mercenary life offensive, no labyrinth could be impregnable, and it was only a matter of time before the evening was lost, and on the day of breaking the labyrinth, fame and fortune were not rolling in.
August didn't give up yet, and asked, "Cohen, how do you know so many legends about the Immortal Life Stone Chamber, and those holy souls you just said can greatly improve the ability of demonic beasts, can they be used in magic cultivation?"
"I was also fortunate enough to have stumbled upon some information about this place in the ancient historical documents of the elves, and even if it was only a few words, I could guess a rough idea. As for whether the Holy Soul can be used for magic cultivation, I don't know if it can be used, there is no description of this in the literature, if one day you get the permission of the elven patriarch, I can accompany you to read the relevant literature. Cohen smiled modestly after speaking. Xuelu, who was resting not far away, glared at Cohen again, and said in her heart, you just continue to pretend.
If he can't get the answer he wants, Auguste will inevitably be a little depressed, after all, he has not stayed at the level of an intermediate mage for a year or two, if he can't be promoted to a high-level mage, it is estimated that he can only find a mercenary guild to stay in for the rest of his life, guide the newcomers, and receive a meager salary to live.
"It seems that there are too many secrets hidden here, Cohen, we better get out of here as soon as possible, and the danger of staying for one more minute will be one more minute, what do you think?" Duke's mind was not on the epic legend that might be imaginary, let alone the unrealistic ideas of Coria and Auguste, he and Dylan just wanted to get out of here as soon as possible and return to the Lion Crusader City with its warm mattresses, sexy blonde beauties, spicy spirits, and countless delicacies.
Cohen nodded and said, "It's okay, when I go out, I just collect a high-purity flame clesia crystal for you, everyone pack up your things first, I'll explore the road first, and I'll set off when I come back in a while." After saying that, he tightened the dagger and sword blade around his waist, and after blessing the blast, a few ups and downs disappeared into the depths of the dark cavern.
After almost a meal, Cohen's figure reappeared, and after a short rest, he said solemnly: "From here to the exit of the outer part of the dark labyrinth, it will take almost half a day, and on the way, you will pass through a lava pool to collect high-purity flame Clecia crystals, there are no powerful monsters along the way, we mainly avoid it, remember not to cause too much movement, otherwise the six of us will definitely be more auspicious." Coria, you and August go ahead, Xuelu and I will lag behind, Duke and Dylan can go in the middle, August, you pay attention to the flame Manny grass I planted along the way, and go in the direction that Manny grass leads. Did you hear that?"
August and Coria looked at each other, nodded, and looked in the direction Cohen had just returned, and sure enough, there were small lights with dim red lights nailed along the pitch black all around. The two of them drew their weapons and cautiously walked along the dim red light.
"Cohen, tell me honestly, are there any other monsters that can hurt you in this so-called dark labyrinth?" asked softly as Xuelu tugged at Cohen quietly.
Cohen looked at Xuelu helplessly, and said with a wry smile: "There is really nothing that can hurt me at the moment, are you satisfied with this answer?" Xuelu still wanted to continue to ask, but Cohen grabbed his little hand, pressed against her slightly pink face, and whispered: "What's the matter, let's talk about it, there's not much time left!"
Xue Lulen paused for a moment, and a thought suddenly flashed through her heart, and some things that she couldn't understand were answered in Cohen's casual words. But at this time, Xuelu remembered that her little hand was still being held by Cohen to move forward, and she was suddenly at a loss, and tried to break free of Cohen's right hand three times and twice, but each time she hesitated at the last moment, and over time, Xuelu let Cohen take her hand and move forward gradually, and the heart that had been frozen many years ago, a seed called shyness in the defense line that seemed to be frozen for thousands of years actually showed signs of germination.
A group of six people walked in the dark underground cavern marked by the flame manny grass, and as time passed, the temperature around them gradually increased, and from time to time there were bursts of heart-rending screams in the depths of the dark cavern.
The closest one to everyone was less than 100 meters, only to see a behemoth covered with dark purple tentacles entangled in a prey the size of a war elephant, and the prey was eaten in less than a meal Only a white bone remained, when August and Coria held Duke and Dylan to death, and waited until the unknown behemoth was full of food and drink and disappeared, and the group was even more shocked to sweat with white hair, during which Xuelu quietly asked Cohen, and learned that Cohen could still easily deal with such fierce beasts, and only then did a heart fall back into his stomach.
At this time, there is basically only one thought left in Koria's mind just now, just the fierce beast just now, no matter how much the ordinary mercenary union comes, it is estimated that it will not be able to fill this pit, not to mention that this damn dark labyrinth seems to have no edge, if it weren't for the flame Manny grass left by Cohen's previous exploration as a guide, think about the fierce beasts lured out by headless flies like flying here, the six people are estimated to be just a dessert after a meal for the beasts, right? The first time I encountered the python dragon, the high-level fighters were bound to lose alone, and the entire Lion Warrior Crusader City had a mercenary union with high-level fighters and above, and they could be counted on one hand. It seems that the so-called exploration of the dark labyrinth is whimsical, and Coria has finally accepted this reality.
"Look, lava lake!" Duke's soft exclamation interrupted Korya's thoughts.
The five people except Cohen were completely shocked by the sight in front of them, and at the feet of everyone, a cliff as smooth as a knife gradually came into view, and below the cliff, the boiling lava continued to lap against the cliff, and from time to time the gravel could not withstand the beating and fell into the boiling lava. What's even more palpitating is that you can't see the edge of the lava lake with your eyes alone.
"What the hell is this place, how can it be so outrageous?" Auguste looked at the lava gushing under his feet, but couldn't help but complain.
Cohen walked up to August, patted him on the shoulder, shook his head and said, "I guess you won't be able to bear it for a while!" After speaking, he looked at Xuelu and continued: "To bless you with Clear Sky Wings, we need to fly over the lava lake for a while. ”
Everyone looked at Cohen in amazement, and Duke stood on the edge of the cliff, stretched out his fat right hand, pointed to the endless lava lake and said to Cohen, "You mean we're going to fly over this lake?"
"Yes, the exit is on the other side of the lava lake, and this lake is too big, we need to take a break somewhere in the lake, the temperature there is about 100 degrees, you should be glad that Xuelu is an auxiliary priest, and can give you blessings and purifications to filter the heat, otherwise we will be roasted in a while, hahaha!" Cohen replied with a grin as he looked at Duke.
Duke looked at Cohen expressionlessly and said, "Your joke is not funny at all, Cohen, are you kidding us, although the atmosphere here is very depressing, is it?"
Cohen shook his head and said, "I also hope it's a joke, but alas, we have to fly over this lava lake, and the only collection point for the High Purity Flame Clythia Crystal is right where we stay, so, Snow Dew, you know what I mean?"
Xuelu looked at Duke and Dylan, who were like frosted eggplants, thought about it for a moment, and said, "Don't worry, two captains, I have a way to ensure your safety." After saying that, he quickly blessed the wings of the sky for everyone, and then walked over to Duke, two pale cyan bands of light looming around Duke and Dylan's shoulders. "It's traction magic, and it ensures that your flying magic trajectory is exactly the same as mine, so you can rest assured, right?" explained with a smile on Duke's face.
Duke and Dylan looked at Xuelu gratefully, and were about to say something, but Cohen yelled violently: "Hurry up, something is moving at high speed behind you!" After speaking, regardless of the three-seven-twenty-one, he picked up Xuelu and quickly lifted off with the wings of the clear sky, and Duke and Dylan also rose rapidly under the effect of traction magic.
August and Klya, who fell to the ground the last, felt a violent tremor on the surface in the next second, and saw countless small beasts rushing towards the lava lake like a tide, and the two of them jumped out of the cliff and flew towards the four Cohen with the help of the feather of the clear sky.
In the next moment, a large mouth of blood basin with a diameter of more than 100 meters, full of fangs and emitting a pungent fishy smell suddenly appeared in the lava, and the countless small fierce beasts jumped down one after another as if they were evil, and in a few moments they filled the mouth of the blood basin, and bursts of piercing hiss and wails continued to come from it.
"Smack!!!!!!
A dull sound came from inside the lava, and the mouth of the blood basin full of fangs slammed shut, and the splashes of blood and the dark red lava instantly came into contact, and streams of fishy blood mist floated into the air.
"Everyone, Snowdew, release the Purifying Enchantment!!!" Cohen exclaimed.
Knowing that they were in danger, everyone hurriedly flew around Xuelu according to Cohen's instructions, and as Xuelu chanted the last rune in a low voice, a huge six-pointed star circle that flashed with golden light instantly surrounded the six people. In the next second, the surging blood mist and the purification enchantment came into contact violently, like ice water poured into a boiling oil pot, and violent and piercing explosions continued to be heard.
And Xue Lu, who was at the core of the magic circle, suddenly felt that the magic power in her body was frantically drained by the magic circle, and her originally pink little face instantly turned pale. "Cohen, I can't hold it anymore!" shouted Xuelu anxiously.
It was too late, but it was too late, Cohen's right hand gently pressed against Xuelu's back, and said softly, "Don't resist my strength!"
A life source force like the revival of everything in spring slowly washed Xuelu's body, and the magic power that was about to dry up suddenly came out in a steady stream, Xuelu glanced at Cohen in surprise, but he knew the priorities of the Dao, and hurriedly concentrated on maintaining the purification enchantment.
