Worried that the light of the Holy Light Torch would reveal the team's whereabouts, Surdak extinguished the Holy Light Torch, and the surrounding area immediately fell into a cold darkness.
The ground in the cave is not flat. There are protruding stone edges everywhere on the stone walls. Some gravels under the feet are as sharp as knives. The stalactite pillars standing on both sides are like spears in the hands of knights. In the darkness where you can't see your fingers, there is a slight movement.
If you accidentally hit these rocks, the four members of the team will be unable to move forward.
Andrew hit the protruding rock with his head, making a dull sound.
Suldak quickly grabbed Andrew and said, "Wait, this won't work! Before we find the hell dogs, they may have run away. After all, we still can't adapt to the lightless world."
Andrew rubbed his forehead, which had a big bump, with his hands, and said gloomily: "But if you light the torch, we will become a target in the dark."
Surdak squatted down and placed four pottery bowls on the rocky ground, igniting the blue flames inside. A cold light emitted from the cave, and the flames turned everyone's face green, especially the ogre Gulit.
Mu's face looked the most terrifying. This was the first time that Surdak started a sacrificial ceremony in front of the team members.
Although sacrificial rituals have been carried out several times before, the altars were always hidden in tents, and the team members had not seen the complete ceremony.
‘You are the holy essence of light and sound, the most beautiful and harmonious, the most dazzling, the most pure and untainted...'
After Surdak finished reciting this prayer, the face of the two-faced and four-armed demon god turned towards Surdak, and the hollow and deep eyes under the mask looked straight into the distance.
Surdak took out two hell dog heads and placed them on the altar. The two hell dog heads slowly disappeared in the air. Four beams of light fell on the team members. Surdak prayed this time.
is the 'eye of truth'.
The 'Eye of Reality' can not only see the mana fluctuations of the magic patterns in the body of Warcraft, but also has the function of detecting invisibility and night vision. The only disadvantage is that the effect of the Eye of Reality can only last for one or two hours, which is far inferior to that of 'God's Blessing'.
It's so durable.
The ogre rubbed his eyes vigorously and said with surprise: "Hey, Andrew, I can see..."
There was still darkness before everyone's eyes, but the rock walls and gravel beneath their feet suddenly had light outlines in the darkness, like some kind of perspective. Samira reached out to touch the rock wall and touched the cold and hard rock wall.
Obviously those outlines composed of simple lines in the eyes are real.
The half-elf archer suddenly understood why Surdak asked the guards who treated wounds in the treatment room at the edge of the city wall to hand over the corpses of hell dogs, and was very lucky to find magic-marked spirit bones from the bodies of these hell dogs.
, I didn’t see him dissecting all the corpses of hell dogs, but he was able to accurately find the precious spiritual bones.
Samira asked in surprise: "Captain, how did you discover the magic-marked spirit bone in the body of the hell dog?"
Knowing that this matter could not be concealed, Suldak admitted frankly: "That's pretty much it!"
After Andrew possessed the 'Eye of Reality', he also knew what this ability meant. He thought of the hell dogs that were killed on the battlefield outside Wozhimara City, and sighed: "Most of the hell dogs
After the dog's body died, it was carried directly to the corpse pile and burned without even looking at it. I don't know how many precious magic-marked spirit bones were burned."
Samira said flatteringly to Surdak: "Captain, otherwise, after this mission is over, we can go outside the city to help clean up the battlefield after returning to the city. We will definitely gain something by then."
Surdak knew that the half-elf archer would not let go of any good opportunity to make money, especially after possessing the 'Eye of Truth'. The corpses of those hell dogs on the battlefield were like untapped treasures. As long as he found a
You can make a lot of money from the 'Magic Spirit Bones'. If you block Samira's way of making money, the half-elf archer will probably hate him for the rest of his life.
However, the issue of principle still needs to be raised up front. Surdak said to Samira: "The premise is that it cannot affect the dispatch mission of the Helensa Guard Battalion."
“Of course!” Samira agreed readily.
Holding the Holy Light Torch in his hand, Suldak stood next to the stone wall and said to Samira and Andrew: "I will help you bless the effect of the 'Eye of Truth' when the time comes. As for who can pick up the spiritual bones, it all depends on
It’s personal luck, you can handle these magic-patterned spirit bones on your own so that you can supplement your family income.”
Samira and Andrew did not expect that Surdak would be so generous and directly gave them all the money they got from searching for the spiritual bones. Both of them were overjoyed.
The half-elf girl held her right arm with one hand, stood beside Suldak, and said to Suldak excitedly: "Captain, I want to hear your story about the city of Halanza!"
Perhaps in her heart, she believed that Helensa City was a prosperous city, otherwise how could there be such generous people.
Surdak didn't know how to speak for a moment, so he had to organize some words before saying: "Well, it is still a cold winter in Helensa City. There have been three heavy snowfalls this winter. It is a very beautiful building.
Mountain town, the people in the city are very enthusiastic, just like Captain Karl..."
He recalled the scene when he came to the city of Halanza alone on horseback. Before he could finish describing the city of Halanza, Samira, who was walking beside Surdak, stopped and put her finger on her lips.
He lowered his voice to everyone in the team and said:
“Hush! There’s a hell dog ahead...”
Everyone in the team no longer chatted in low voices, but followed Samira's footsteps and moved forward.
In fact, Hellhounds are also very unadapted to extremely dark environments, and they rarely attack a city at night unless there are enough firelights on top of the city.
The hell dog is at the fork in front of the cave. You can see the burning lava flow on it from a distance. This hell dog is like a moving flame in the darkness. It is in this section of the cave.
It was swimming back and forth, but since it was the only light source in the cave, it could not see the space outside the surrounding light. It lowered its head and kept sniffing around with its sensitive nose and listened with its ears.
The movement around you.
Maybe it had heard the conversation of the Surdak team, but in this cave full of echoes, he still needed to carefully identify the source of the sound. It was precisely at this fork in the road that the target suddenly became silent, and the hell dog could not
Know which way to go.
Suddenly it smelled a strange smell, and it rushed towards the darkness,
Even too late to mourn, he was chopped from a large ax that appeared from the darkness. The sound of the hell evil dog sobbing did not have time, so he fell on the rock.
There was a gash on its forehead that had been struck by a sharp axe, its brains were shattered, and it died almost instantly.
Even though its head bones are the hardest part of the body, they are a bit fragile compared to a big ax mixed with magic black iron.
Unfortunately, this hell dog did not have the precious demon-patterned spirit bone on its body. Andrew quickly chopped off the head of the hell dog. The ogre squatting aside was a little hesitant. He had been eating marching rations for the past two days.
When I saw such a big hell dog, even though I knew that eating too much meat from the hell dog would cause stomachache, I still felt reluctant to part with it.
Surdak walked up to the ogre, reached out and patted the ogre's broad shoulder, and said to him: "This food is not delicious. When we complete the mission this time, I promise you, we will stay in Wozhimala."
The city will buy you a whole cow and roast it. You may have never eaten that kind of whole roast cow. There will also be a sheep wrapped in its belly, and there will be a fat chicken in the sheep's belly. These meats will
Marinate it with spices and salt for a day and night, and there is nothing more delicious than that."
“Well, Surdak, I know you will take me to eat such delicious food, right?” The ogre swallowed his saliva and asked with anticipation.
“Of course, I will definitely do what I promised.” Surdak patted his chest and said to the ogre.
“I can’t wait! How long do we have to stay in this damn place?” The ogre complained with a depressed look on his face as he was eager to return home.
Samira walked in the front. She followed the path that the hell dog had taken and walked into the cave.
“When we find out the secret here, we will find a way to get out of here!” Surdak said to the ogre Grettum.
After walking for nearly a kilometer along the path that the Hell Hounds had taken, a faint howling sound could be heard in the distance. It was unknown how many Hell Hounds there were in front of them, but the team did not stop because of this.
The combat team walked to a stone door that was nearly ten meters high. Through the 'Eye of Reality' Suldak saw that the stone door was carved with simple patterns, but could not understand the specific meaning of the patterns on it. From a distance, it looked like a book.
Huge magic book.
This door is half-open, and the sound of the hell dogs is coming from inside the door.

Suldak could vaguely see the precise gear mechanism hidden in the stone door shaft. He knew that the Green Empire did not have such exquisite mechanical craftsmanship.
As the battle team passed through this huge stone door, they felt a cool breeze blowing out through the stone door, and at the same time, there was a faint light coming from inside the stone door.
Surdak stood at the entrance of the stone gate, and under his feet was a huge cave that could accommodate nearly an entire city. There were some dim moonstones on the top of the cave like stars in the sky. This was the source of all the light in this underground ruins.
Hidden in the cave are the ruins of an ancient city as far as the eye can see. Although most of the buildings are dilapidated and only a pile of gravel and gravel are left, there are still some standing stone buildings among these gravel and gravel.
It's just that most buildings lack complete roofs.
At this time, he looked at the team's position carefully and carefully.
He found that the team had actually arrived at a long stone platform, where they could almost overlook the extremely vast arched space in front of them. The stone platform where the team was sitting looked like a huge window sill, maybe only
Only a giant can build such a tall building, and this ten-meter-high stone door doesn't look like a stone door at all. This stone door opens in mid-air, with no stairs leading down on both sides. It looks more like a huge space.
The ventilation window inside.
Obviously Samira and Andrew didn't know that there was such a large area of ancient ruins hidden here. A group of hell dogs with dark red lava flowing from their bodies shuttled through the ruins at their feet, and in front of them a group of ghost monkeys were scattering.
Running, under the dim light, these huge hell dogs were running rampant in this building complex, and there would always be some slow-running ghost monkeys who fell under the claws of the hell dogs.
Those hell dogs will bite a lively ghost monkey, then leave the hunting team, and walk along a wide road with the prey in their mouths toward the depths of the ruins.
This ruins is much larger than the small town of Meijin, and is almost as big as the city of Wozhimala. Although the city is so dilapidated that only ruins are left, the orderly streets and the buildings turned into gravel are said to be
The layout it possesses is incomparable to that of Wozhimala City today.
“There was once a group of underground giants living in the plane of Maca?” Surdak asked the half-elf archer in a low voice.
Although the half-elf archer Samira was once the guide of Wozhimara City, she did not know the history of the Maca plane, so she was unable to answer Surdak's question for the time being.
She set her sights on Andrew, who explained in the lowest voice: "I am just a native of the Nanai tribe, and the civilization inherited by our tribe is not as long as you think..."
Suldak squatted on the stone platform, observing the underground ruins below.
This stone platform is dozens of meters high. God knows how the hell dog climbed up. However, if the team members want to get down from here, they need a strong rope. Surdak brought a rope in his magic waist bag.
, but when he originally bought this rope, he only considered the weight of ordinary knights. It is not yet known whether this rope can withstand the weight of the ogre.
Suldak said to Andrew and Samira: "Those hell dogs have occupied this underground ruins. Maybe the devil's door or hell passage that the command is looking for is here. We have to find a way to sneak in."
The head said to the ogre again: "Gritm will stay here to guard our last retreat. Don't worry, I will leave enough food for you to ensure that you will not be hungry."
When the ogre heard that there was food, he naturally had no objection.
Andrew sighed at this time: "It would be great if there was a secondary invisibility potion like the one in Meijin Town."
Surdak thought of being among a pile of scrolls in the magic grocery store with Karl in Bena City. At that time, he thought of the battle at Ice Lake Manor. Surdak spent a lot of money and actually bought a few.
Secondary invisibility scroll, he said to Andrew: "Wait, it seems that I really brought a few bottles with me. This kind of secondary invisibility potion is not rare in the Green Empire..."
As he spoke, he rummaged through his magic pocket for a long time before finding five bottles of secondary invisibility potion from a pile of scrolls.
“Shall we drink it now?” Andrew asked.
Samira quickly stopped Andrew's suggestion. She said: "In fact, you can drink when you are in danger. There is nothing more interesting than disappearing under the eyes of those hell dogs... and no one knows
How big is this ruins, how long should we walk here!"
