The sound of the water came suddenly, although not very loud, but because they were very close to each other, and their hearing was extraordinary, they could hear very clearly.

Lance's face changed slightly, and he was the first to rush out of the tree hole and to the edge of the lake.

Standing on the shore of the mysterious lake, I saw that the lake was receding at a slow and even speed!

The sound of the water just now was the subtle sound of the lake receding.

"What's going on?"

Landry looked at everything in front of him in amazement, and couldn't help asking, "Isn't it yet the summer solstice?"

No one could answer him. Because he was right, the real summer solstice is two days away, and today is indeed not yet time.

Lord Lawrence had made it clear that only when the day of the summer solstice arrived, the castle would open a single entrance.

But all this in front of him seemed to violate his words.

Everyone stood quietly by the lake, watching its black waters slowly reced.

After about ten minutes, half of the lake receded, and the whole lake shrank in a large circle. By this time, however, the lake's receding trend had been stopped.

"Is it going to be withdrawn in batches?"

Lance thought to himself.

At this moment, a dark light flickered in front of his eyes.

"What's that?"

He narrowed his eyes and opened his eagle eye. In the faint moonlight, he could see the thing as it was.

Is that...... Half a coffin!

The veins on Lance's forehead were revealed, and his eyes widened. Carefully inspect the lake—

As the water was dragged away by an unknown force, the level of the lake had dropped considerably, so that in the middle of the area near the island and the eastern mountain wall, a small black object was exposed.

At first, Lance didn't care, but after a closer look, he was almost certain that it was a coffin!

A coffin buried in the dirt, half covered under the water, with a quarter of the corners exposed to the air!

"The coffin of the sycamore. ”

Dora muttered.

Obviously, she saw this scene too. Her vision is not as good as that of Lance. But after blessing a few spells. I can barely see the original appearance of the coffin.

"What's in there, you say?" asked Landry, shaking his head.

Lance shrugged: "This is only known to the people in the coffin, if there is one." We'll have to find a way to get there, the lake is still a long way from the coffin. I bet. This will be a problem that will bother us for a long time. ”

Sure enough. After walking into the lake for a while, the group did encounter a problem.

They couldn't reach the coffin.

The mysterious waters of the lake have terrifying magical powers, and the wizard who steps into it is bound to die of demonic disorder, even if he stands at the edge of the lake. Lance and the others could also clearly feel that their magic was suppressed and interfered with. There is no way they can set foot in the water.

However, flying through the sky is not a viable solution.

There is a no-fly zone above the lake, not to mention that Lance can't control the magic carpet, even if the birds of nature fly over this sky, they will fall and be corroded by the lake.

In the previous days, Lance had tried to seal several birds and beasts in nature with the Seal Ring to test the strangeness of the lake, and the results of the test dispeld his idea of trying to cross the mysterious lake. The birds and beasts under his control all died miserably, and Lance didn't want to be one of them.

"There was about thirty feet between us. ”

Lance stood on the edge of the lake, three feet away, and the black water was there.

He silently calculated that if he jumped hard, he should be able to jump onto the coffin...... But what will happen after that, I'm afraid no one knows.

"Maybe we should wait. Sacra advises: "The water is too scary for us to take any chances." ”

But that's part of the prophetic poem. Dora emphasized: "This is the penultimate that many parts of the prophetic poem have been fulfilled one by one, and I always feel that by opening the coffin, some mysteries can be solved." ”

Dora was right. ”

Lance muttered, "We have traveled all the way, passing through the witchcraft sword glades, and Landry and I have heard the sound of crying, which is most likely the [Weeping Jungle], and then [Between the White Stones and Evil Waters, there used to be a beautiful palace in the past], this sentence should refer to the mysterious lake and the castle of Sivaret on the island, the lurking demon refers to the caveman, and the dancing Grim Reaper may be Alfred, the Archon of the Underworld—of course, it may also be talking about me, and only one-sixth of the king's spirits are left." After all, the [Sycamore Coffin] has been displayed in front of our eyes. ”

"Opening that coffin, I think it's imminent. If we wait for the lake to recede completely, it can lead to delays and, of course, more likely human obstacles. ”

The rest of the people were silent. Of course, they knew that the "artificial obstruction" in Lance's mouth was naturally the wizard of the Flower Scorpion Society.

Under the premise that Lance does not use the hole card magic sword Aofei, these people may not really be the opponents of the people of the Scorpion Society, but they are now frightened by Lance, and they dare not conflict with Lance and others for the time being.

It's just that the conflict of interest between the two sides is inevitable, and once the conflict intensifies to a certain extent, the wizards of the Flower Scorpion Society will definitely still try it. If Curvin finds that Lance can't maintain that kind of strong combat power for a long time, the end will be very obvious......

"But we can't help it!" Landry emphasized, "Are you going to risk your life?"

"That's not true, there is no way now, but you have to think about it. ”

Lance said this, and began to ponder carefully.

......

Half an hour passed.

Landry was already yawning, Sacra was serious, and Dora was deep in thought, her face gloomy.

Lance frowned, and after thinking for a long time, there was no way!

This was different from the past, in front of this mysterious and mysterious lake, he had lost all countermeasures, and this feeling of mental stagnation Lance had not felt for a long time.

He had always had a lot of good ideas, but he couldn't help anything between the thirty-foot lake.

"It's not a way for us to stand like that. ”

Dora sighed: "Maybe Landry is right, when the summer solstice comes, the lake will naturally recede." ”

Lance shook his head, but he couldn't say why, so he could only agree, "Okay, let's get out of here first." ”

The group had just walked out of the road for a while, and in the jungle ahead, a rapid figure suddenly flashed!

"Someone!" Landry snorted, warning "Everyone. ”

He didn't need to be reminded that Lance had already seen the coming.

He strode forward, the sword of Macon already clasped behind his back.

Sou!

A nimble black shadow landed in front of Lance, and as soon as he fell, he shouted at Lance.

The rest of the people were stunned for a moment, but only Lance, who was proficient in Abyssal Language, could clearly understand what he was saying.

This person is naturally the leader of the caveman.

"Human, I am grateful for your help before, but there can be no long-term friendship between demons and humans, and I am willing to help you as a way to repay you for helping us just now. From then on, we were both clear. ”

Hearing this, a look of surprise appeared on Lance's face.

It's not uncommon for cavemen to speak abyssal language, but it's strange that this guy actually has a good intelligence, and can speak abyssal language so fluently, mixed with a few jerky and advanced words, Lance also pondered for a while before he understood the meaning of his words.

He immediately responded, "How are you going to help us?"

The caveman leader spoke, "I've been observing in the shadows for a long time, and you seem to be interested in that piece of wood, aren't you?"

Lance felt a pang in his heart, this guy's latent ability is too strong, he actually observed his group in the dark for so long, and he didn't have any warning at all!

He groaned for a moment, this guy really didn't seem to have any malicious intent.

So he said, "Yes, and we would be very grateful if you could help us get that piece of wood." ”

"It's not very difficult. After saying this, the troglodyte leader beckoned to Lance and the others.

The rest of the people all looked wary.

Lance explained to them, and several of them hesitated, but followed the caveman leader deeper into the jungle.

They galloped along the shore of the lake, in the jungle. The Caveman Leader had noticeably slowed down so that they could keep up, and Rao had a hard time following all three except Lance. Especially Dora, as a second-level wizard, the dark matter spell is known for its high movement speed, and she almost didn't keep up with Lance and the caveman leader, which made her very depressed.

After about half an hour, they revisited the western side of the mountain.

Cutting through the bushes, the caveman leader skilfully burrowed into the cave where they had met.

Lance and the others looked at each other, but gritted their teeth and followed.

The appearance of the cave did not change, and around the corner, the troglodyte leader let out a rapid cry.

The group immediately followed.

The leader of the caveman quickly leaned against the stone wall, groped for a long time, and with a bang, a dark passage suddenly appeared on the originally smooth stone wall.

The dark passage is very narrow, and you can only crawl on your stomach alone.

The caveman leader jumped into the tunnels and said, "Follow me." ”

Lance was the first to follow, followed by the rest.

They crawled through the narrow tunnel, and when they left it, they were on a cragy platform about fifty feet from the lake.

Standing on this small platform and looking down, there is a dark lake. The coffin in the center of the lake is also impressively listed. (To be continued......)
