I don't know where the whining sound came from, but the wisps of heat rose from Raymond's feet, and while dispelling the cold, it quickly condensed into a white mist, which blurred Raymond's vision in an instant.

From the extreme cold to the warmth in vain, the body that had been on guard before naturally relaxed, and the onset of sleepiness also made him feel comfortable and comfortable, as if it came from the sleepiness in his heart, which also made him want to fall asleep.

Raymond's vision was already blurry, his eyes couldn't help but close slowly, his body relaxed and at the same time, the tiredness swept in like a tide, and the softness around his body seemed to make him in the warm and comfortable duvet, just need to sleep and rest at ease!

The corners of his mouth slowly turned up and pulled out the arc of laughter, like a sign before falling asleep, and soon Raymond completely relaxed and entered the dream, his breath gradually calmed down and grew at the same time, everything around his body became erratic and relaxed......

In the quiet passage of the stone steps, the spiral stone steps are gradually changing, the original solid stone steps become soft, and Raymond, who leans against the wall and falls into a deep sleep with a smile, slowly sinks, his feet are actually submerged in the stone steps, as if there is soft quicksand under him, and the invisible suction is trying to swallow him.

And on the wall behind him, with the ripples of the corrugated board, a thin slit suddenly appeared, and at the same time as the gap gradually expanded, a pair of eyes that seemed to be closed and closed were revealed, and the pupils facing Raymond's back contained inexplicable love.

Time seemed to be delayed at this moment. The perimeter of Raymond, whose part below the knee was engulfed by the stone steps, began to twist and deform, and the stone steps began to converge and merge with each other. The seemingly straight walls of the passage softened, squirming and twisting to close the entire passage, eventually forming a closed space.

But just when there was a hint of joy in the pupils of the eyes that were peeking at Raymond from behind, Raymond, who was slowly engulfed by the stone steps, touched the surface of the stone steps, and a circle of red light flashed on his right wrist, making every qiē in this enclosed space shine.

Raymond's eyes, which were smiling at the corners of his mouth, opened in vain, and the upper body of the stone stairs suddenly twisted. His gaze immediately focused on the gap in the wall, and saw the pupils hidden within!

The joy in those eyes was replaced by astonishment, but it didn't wait for the gap in the wall to close. The tentacles formed by the disintegration of Raymond's left hand, who turned around, quickly reached into the gap, and suddenly pulled the gap that was trying to close open!

The hissing sound of pain echoed in the confined space, and a trace of pain appeared in the pupils of the eyes that were hidden in the slits, followed by the old voice in Raymond's mind. "Don't, don't, don't hold up......"

Raymond who heard the voice. The smile on the corner of his mouth grew. The legs that had fallen into the stone steps shook slightly, and then they pulled out of them, and opened their mouths when they looked at the eyes that contained frustration. "Who are you?"

When he spoke, the tentacles that held up the gap in the wall stopped, and Raymond, who felt that the power of closure had not been strengthened by this, finally let go.

He had realized that he had fallen into a strange illusion, but because he did not have a sense of crisis, it caused him to lose consciousness.

Therefore, when the inexplicable feeling of tiredness and comfort rose in his heart, he simply relaxed, shielded himself from the outside world, and let the chip take over the control of his body.

Approximately after giving up one's own consciousness, the invisible influence is rapidly amplified. After the sensory of his body was fed back by the chip, he noticed that the Shanzhu bracelet on his wrist burst out of Raymond with red glow. He decisively regained control of his body and reacted appropriately.

And at this time, the perception released by him can finally detect the qiē around his body.

The completely enclosed space appears to be a spindle-shaped shape, in the center of which what appears to be a stone staircase and a wall is in fact a thick diaphragm with a flexible liquid mixed with wisps of flexible fibers.

"Cell-like tissues? Could it be that this is the environment we are in today?"

Raymond, who had doubts in his heart, had already locked the pupils in the gap at this moment, but his expression did not show it, but stared at the pupils and waited patiently.

The pain in those eyes disappeared, and the old voice sounded directly in Raymond's mind. "A powerful outsider, the old man is Ariel, a subordinate of the Great Lich Lord Vernal......"

As he spoke, the gap in the wall slowly widened, revealing a wrinkled face.

The expression on the face of some vicissitudes of life is a little strange, not timid or panicked, but like confusion and incomprehension, and there is also a little suspicion.

After the gap had stabilized, Raymond asked. "You are the guardian of the Soul Fruit Tree?"

"Guardians, what Guardians?" he repeated Raymond's words in a daze, his eyebrows furrowed for a moment as if he couldn't understand Ariel before he said angrily. "The old man is the soul fruit tree! Where does the old man need any guardians! You can't be talking about those moths that are entrenched around the old man, right?"

Raymond, who was a little surprised when he heard this, said strangely. "Moths?"

"Yes, these are the guys who are entrenched around the old man and devouring the old man's nutrients! They are greedy and lazy, and they even delusionally want to make the old man fall into a deep sleep forever! These damn maggots, miscellaneous ......"

As if Raymond's inquiry had brought back bad memories, Ariel began to roar in vain.

Ariel, who began to roar in the Astaya, the lich spoke, grew out of control.

This situation is a bit of a headache for Raymond, because his mastery of the Estyan language is not as proficient as it is dù, so although it can be used for communication and exchange, he cannot understand the meaning of the special words in its language when it is used a lot.

Therefore, after making sure that the old face in front of him was the projection of the soul fruit tree Ariel, he awakened the girl Becky who was staying in the picture of the girl's stream, and asked her to act as an interpreter.

But the girl Becky condensed her body, as if she was frightened, Ariel actually let out a strange scream, and then disappeared into the gap in vain, so that Raymond, who was caught off guard, had no time to stop it!

The slit held up by the tentacles became hard as if solidified, and the pupils that contained anger that could be seen before also lost their luster as if they were solidified.

It's just that the space that was closed before, but a passage has quietly formed on Raymond's side, and there is a faint cold wind gushing out of it.

After listening to Ariel's roar and roar provided by Raymond, the girl Becky laughed out loud.

"This old guy was regarded as a hostel by those guardians, and almost became an unconscious energy provider, so he regarded these 'guardians' as moths, and when he woke up, he killed all of them......

Such a clarification made Raymond extremely speechless.

The power of what the Phantom Butterfly Himala calls the 'Guardian' is a parasite for Ariel, who is most likely a Soul Fruit Tree, not only robbing it of its energy but also trying to put it to sleep forever.

"Raymond, you said this is the underground of the ruins of the city, and this Ariel claims to be a subordinate of the Lich Vernal?"

"That seems to be the case, Uru said before that the city was created by an extremely powerful lich......"

Thinking back to the tone in which Uru had told the legend, Raymond couldn't help but feel a stir in his heart. "If this Ariel is really a subordinate of the lich who built this city, then it should know what was going on back then......" (to be continued......
