"Are you okay, Jita?"

Fang Yu stopped and made a gesture on his chest. Seeing this, Jita blinked slightly before remembering something and hurriedly patted her left shoulder. Although the communication crystal failed, they had already entered the castle before

The secret code was agreed upon. Seeing that the secret code was correct, Fang Plover breathed a sigh of relief, walked over, half-knelt down, and checked Jita's injury.

It's not that he is too paranoid, it's just that this place is too weird. And during adventures, meticulously executing the originally planned plan is also the only way to increase the survival rate. How many selectors have died because of their carelessness?

Success is a failure.

He may have been a bit careless in the past, but since he became the leader, he has become more careful and meticulous in his actions.

Jita's injury was mainly on her shoulder. It was a scratch. Although it was not serious, it looked scary. Everyone in the team had a recovery potion. She had probably used it. The wound showed signs of healing gradually. It was just a robe.

There was a hole, and the young and weak shoulders were vaguely visible.

Jita blushed a little and lowered her head, but she did not object and let Fang Plover still check her wounds.

Seeing her rosy look, Fang Yu felt a little guilty in his heart. He was still too careless and did not consider that Jita was only at level six and could easily become a target.

"Don't worry, this won't happen again next time." He didn't know how to comfort the girl, so he could only mention it dryly.

If other people were here, they would probably sneer at it. But Jita buried her head and only responded timidly: "Yeah."

"By the way," Fang Plover then remembered something. "How did you get into this place, and where is the vampire?"

Jita then raised her head and glanced at him. "Miss Delise brought me in." She replied in a low voice.

"Dalys?"

Fang Plover suddenly felt something.

He turned around and saw a pair of glowing eyes looking at him in the darkness, as beautiful as sapphires. The owner of the eyes was walking out of the darkness, walking gracefully, shaking the white down on his neck,

There is a little black spot on the pointed ears. Who is it if it's not the cat they picked up before?

"Meow"

It barked softly, as if it was acting coquettishly.

Miss Tata sat on Fang Plover's shoulders, held his neck, looked at him and said, "Good afternoon, Delise."

Ms. Cat walked over with her tail erect, circled Fang Plover, tilted her head and lightly rubbed his trouser legs, and raised her head to look at him curiously. But Fang Plover was not as calm as Miss Fairy, and asked incredulously

Said: "Why are you here, little one?"

Could it be that they had been chasing them all the way to this place? But trekking through knee-deep snow all night was too much for even adults. How could this little thing do it?

He frowned and then suddenly remembered the white shadow he saw before. Now that he thought about it, wasn't it Miss Delise? Could it be that it was around them at that time?

He couldn't help but think of the origin of this cat. It appeared in a snowstorm, which was very strange in itself.

In addition, it appeared twice before, and each time it seemed to lead them deeper into that room. Then they thought of the cat in the arms of the girl in the painting, which was exactly the same as Miss Delise. At this moment, Fang Plover No matter how dull he is, he can't help but become suspicious.

What's more, he is not slow, and is even a little sensitive when it comes to these details and clues. His first thought was whether Delise and the cat in the painting were the same, which might be a bit unbelievable, but after all, Aitalia is a talented person. A world where magic exists.

And Fang Yu firmly believes that after eliminating all possibilities, the remaining possibility, even the most unlikely one, will be the answer to the problem.

Or maybe Delise is a descendant of the cat in the painting, and it has been living in this castle, so it returns to this place? It is not impossible, but it does not explain why it comes over and over again. The ground led them into the room and saw the painting.

It may be a coincidence, but if everything is explained by coincidence, and there are too many coincidences, there is probably an underlying logic behind it.

Fang Plover stared at Dai Lisi's sapphire eyes, as if he wanted to see some emotion in them. He was wondering if they had wisdom and intentions?

But the cat lady just looked at him curiously, then walked to the side, turned around, meowed, and wagged her tail at them.

"Miss Delise asked us to follow it." Jita said suddenly.

Fang Yu was a little surprised. "Do you understand?"

Jita shook her head. "This is how it brought me to this place before. There are some strange things outside... that will attack us, but Miss Delise seems to be able to avoid them."

Fang Plover knew in his heart that she was talking about the shadow monsters outside. The system called them 'Dragon Shadows', although except for the black fragments of cold steel, Fang Plover still didn't understand the relationship between the other party and dragons.

That strange shadow is neither as powerful as Nicol Bolas or Toragothos, nor does it have the appearance of a dragon creature like the Dragon's Minions.

If there was anything similar between them and dragons, it would be that when Fang Plover recalled his battle with the shadow monster, he always had a lingering sense of fear in his heart that made him shudder.

This feeling is far less obvious than when he faced Nicol Bolas and Toragotos, but it does exist. Perhaps it is because the Dragon Fear Dragon, as the highest level of life forms in Aitaria, has a negative impact on lower-level creatures. of suppression.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but touch the fragments in his pocket. The fragments didn't look like fragments of armor or constructs. They were too thick and flat. Besides, there was no alchemist profession among the goblins.

While she was thinking, Delise had already walked into the darkness. "Brother Ed?" Jita asked in a low voice.

Fang Plover nodded. He had been in a panic before and had already lost his way in the intricate underground passages. Since the cat lady is willing to lead the way, let's see where it can take them.

In fact, he was also a little curious, why did Delise insist on letting them come to this place? Now that he thought about it, it might not have been a coincidence that the cat appeared on their boat at that time.

But as to why it appeared there, Fang Plover was not sure. He could only guess that it might be because of the blood inheritance of the Logosl family.

However, this reason is a bit far-fetched.

Delise walked in front with her tail erect, not too far but not too close, just at the edge of the light of the lighting crystal. Fang Plover looked at its back, and then asked about the vampire.

He suspected that the vampire had died outside the secret room, and that the attendant emblem was left by it, but how the other party died was at a loss to him.

After hearing his question, Jita replied in a low voice: "I'm not sure either..."

"When the vampire caught me, I was so frightened that I didn't think of anything... I only knew that it took it back to the room and entered the secret passage..."

"When I reacted again, I heard it scream and fall to the ground...and then I saw Miss Delise jump off of it."

"It rolled on the ground. I was very scared at the time, but I couldn't think of any spells to deal with it."

"It was at that time that Miss Delise suddenly circled in front of me and asked me to follow her. Then she suddenly walked to a rock wall and disappeared behind the wall...

"That's how I got into this place...Is the vampire dead?"

Her tone was a bit incredible.

However, although Jita was stammering, Fang Plover still understood. Delise seemed to have some ability to activate the magic on the rock wall, so she brought Jita to this place.

But he was a little curious, because he had the right to inherit the blood of the Logosl family. But what was the reason why this cat lady could enter and exit the rock wall freely.

And how exactly did it kill the vampire?

According to Jita's description, Delise just jumped on the vampire, and the latter screamed and fell to the ground. Although it was not dead at that time, it turned out to be that it died in that place.

Even if the vampire is seriously injured, he won't die if he is touched by a cat. After all, he is an undead creature of more than 20 levels. He may not be able to win one-on-one if both are prepared. Isn't this right?

Doesn't that mean he is worse than a cat?

Fang Plover couldn't help but give the cat lady in front of him a strange look.

But it seems that just as Jita said, the other party has the ability to avoid those strange shadows. During its journey, Fang Plover never heard the strange sound of "ka ka" coming from his magic furnace to indicate that it was nearby.

There are no 'dragon shadows' present.

But Fang Yu suddenly thought of a possibility

Maybe it wasn't that Delise had the ability to avoid those strange shadows, but that those things didn't dare to get close to it. He and Miss Tata had avoided those strange shadows before, and it was also because when they arrived at Ji Ta's place, the other party chose to turn around and leave.

But this possibility is so unbelievable that even just thinking about it, Fang Yu felt a little unbelievable.

The cave became quiet again, leaving only the breathing of the two people.

After asking the previous question, Fang Plover stopped talking, but was filled with doubts. As the two of them walked, Delise suddenly stopped in front.

Fang Yu was stunned and realized that they had arrived in a natural cave.

Like the tunnels in other places, this cave is full of crystals. However, these crystals are empty and dark, with no glimmer of light coming out from inside. It is as if the magic contained in it has been absorbed by something, leaving only an empty crystal in this cave.

place.

But it's not the crystals that are most eye-catching.

Instead, they are dents on the ground inside the cave. These dents and textures are intertwined with each other, and the pattern formed by their extension is somewhat similar to the magic circle outside, but it is much better preserved.

Fang Yu vaguely felt that he had seen this magic circle somewhere, but it was not outside before.

He raised his head and watched the texture extend forward, and all the indentations seemed to be converging in one direction. The two held the lighting crystal and walked towards the center of the cave. The edge of the light extended forward until a stone altar came into view.

eye.

When she saw the altar, Dai Lisi circled around the two of them, nuzzled the square plover lightly, and then walked towards the edge of the stone platform on cat steps. She turned around and looked at the two with sapphire-like eyes.

people.

The moment Fang Yu saw this stone altar, he suddenly remembered where he had seen this magic circle.

That's under the Great Temple of Doriphon.

There was an identical magic circle there, and in the center of the magic circle, there was also an altar like this. On that altar, Sizu's body lay quietly, with a curved dagger stuck in the girl's chest, and blood flowing from the altar.

land.

It's hard for him to forget that scene.

On this altar, there is also a skeleton, but it is no longer clear what it looked like in life, whether it was a man or a woman, whether it was fat or thin.

The skeleton lay quietly on the stone platform, still maintaining the posture of raising its head at the last moment of its life. Time seemed to be frozen at this moment. It clutched a broken sword inserted into its chest with some pain, bent its knees, and stretched its legs slightly.

Separate, like the posture of a woman during childbirth

Fang Yu suddenly felt his heart skip a beat.

He felt three forces rushing forward at the same time.

The first force was the ring of golden flames in his arms, which suddenly became hot, just like when it was shining underground in Fenris.

Then Fang Plover felt a strong will impacting his mind, seeming to urge him forward. He immediately realized that it was the man in his thinking world who was born between Nicol Bolas, Toragothos and the Lizardmen.

A strange existence in the power of gods.

It seemed to have an urgent plea, making him involuntarily want to get closer to the stone platform.

The last one is Cang Zhihui

Fang Yu felt the back of his hand feel slightly hot, and subconsciously raised his hand in that direction.

When he raised his hand, there was no reaction from the bones on the altar. Instead, the broken sword trembled, and suddenly it was pulled out from the stone platform with a clang, and hung in the air.

Only then did Fang Plover realize that this broken sword was very strange.

Its broken blade was as black as ink, almost like black crystal. The guard was not connected to the hilt, but was suspended around the hilt, consisting of a circle of long fangs.

This sword was so unique that Fang Plover recognized its identity as soon as he saw it.

In fact, Jita also recognized it.

"Dragon Slayer Maya"

"It...isn't it the head of the Five Holy Swords forged by goblins? Why is it here, and why is it broken..." Miss Naturalist couldn't help but murmur to herself in disbelief.

Only Miss Tata, sitting on Fang Plover's shoulder, watched this scene quietly, as if she had expected it.

Fang Yu was also filled with shock.

Until he heard Tata calmly reminding him in his heart: "Be careful, Mr. Knight, this sword is contaminated."

"What?"

Fang Plover was walking towards the altar. But when he heard these words, he stopped involuntarily. At this moment, a warning sign suddenly occurred in his heart, and he subconsciously looked in one direction.

In the darkness there, a purple light suddenly lit up. Fang Plover heard one or two hoarse and low spells, and then a ray shot in the direction of him and Jita.

At that moment, Fang Yu didn't even think about it, turned around and flew towards Jita, hugging the latter and rolling to the side. The purple ray passed through the position where the two were standing before, and hit the rock wall behind.

Just hearing a "crash" sound, the rock formation there collapsed.

Amidst the smoke and dust, Fang Plover heard a sigh coming from the previous direction, and then a more lengthy and obscure spell came from that direction. Knowing that something was wrong, he raised his hand and shot out the flying claw.

The spell ended abruptly.

But Fang Yu heard a sound of wind, and something seemed to hit his flying claw, knocking it aside. Then he heard a whistling sound, like a horse Xiao.

He raised his head. The smoke and dust in front of him suddenly rolled to both sides. Fang Plover actually saw a tall black knight wearing armor and riding a skeletal horse. He jumped out from behind and slashed at the two of them with a sword.

Miss Naturalist let out a scream.

"Where did this ghost thing come from!?" Fang Plover also shouted in his heart. This is the black knight, an undead creature of more than thirty levels. How did this thing appear in this place?

However, his movements were obviously faster than his brain reaction, and he immediately rolled to the side while holding Jita under him.

The black knight slashed the ground with his sword, and the sword edge almost brushed past the two bodies. Fang Pulver also broke out in a cold sweat. With the black knight's attack power, if this sword was a solid blow, no matter what kind of shield it was,

Regardless of whether he was dodging or blocking, with his level of protection, he would definitely be killed on the spot.

He also had to go to the Resurrection Temple with Jita and him to report.

Although the nearby temple is not a temple for Roman believers who are desperate for money, Ms. Amaya is extremely indifferent to outsiders, and the resurrection experience and equipment losses in her temple are often the heaviest.

Of course, Fang Piao didn't want to hang around in this place. Facing enemies above level 30, he no longer cared about caves and underground environments, so he took out the efreet with his backhand and threw it in the direction of the black knight.

The ground shook slightly, and bright flames and shock waves swept over. Because the distance was too close, he and Jita were almost blown away, and their shields and lives plummeted at the same time.

However, Fang Yu carefully protected Miss Naturalist and allowed himself to hit the altar first, groaning. He looked up and found with some despair that the explosion of the efreet was quite threatening to creatures around level 20, but

For black knights above level 30, it is not worth mentioning at all.

The sweeping sea of ​​​​fire only reduced the skeletal mount it sat on to ashes, but the latter half-knelt down on the ground, then straightened up and ripped away the flames, just like tearing away a windbreaker wrapped in flames on its body,

He walked straight out of the sea of ​​fire.

At best, the explosion left only a few traces on its cold iron heavy armor.

The black knight raised his head and looked at him. A cold red light flashed under his helmet. He actually raised his sword and swung his sword. An air blade spanned a distance of seven or eight meters and hit Fang Plover in the chest.

Fang Plover's last move was just enough time to push Jita away.

Then he felt a tearing pain, and his vision almost went dark. In his ears, he could only hear the sharp screams of Miss Naturalist, which seemed to be accompanied by a trace of crying.

It's doomed now

Fang Plover thought.

After receiving a blow from the level 30 black knight, Fang Plover felt that he should go to Ms. Amaya to report. It was a pity that he could not save Kita. Ms. Naturalist would probably die here like him.

place.

He also didn't expect that his second resurrection would be delivered to this place.
