Hao Ren panted for a long time and finally caught his breath, and then looked at the quiet rock hall in disbelief. The passage the three people ran in before had been completely blocked by the big explosion caused by the lightning strike, and the people who chased them all the way
The undead knights were all blocked on the opposite side. Although the knights' armors were incredibly powerful, they were not capable of digging through mountains and rocks with bare hands like Lily. In addition, they were made of metal with limited strength, so they probably couldn't be dug.
Those who dig the gravel - at least they can't dig it out in a short time.
It seems like I can take a breather and sort out the current situation.
"Probably...not yet," Vivian closed her eyes slightly to feel the energy flow in the entire underground palace. "The aura of the undead is everywhere, but for some reason there is no movement for the time being. The ones chasing us just now were only a small part of them.
…”
"What the hell, a small part?!" Hao Ren was startled, "What on earth did the lord here plan to do back then?"
At this time, Lily was lying next to the pile of completely shattered armor fragments, rummaging around, looking for something she was interested in with the strong curiosity that a canine should have, and then suddenly they were smashed together and deformed.
Strange things were found on the fragments of the breastplate: "Hey, bat, come and see what this is? Is it also the Leta rune?"
Big dog and bat, it seems that these two people have no intention of calling each other's name properly in this life.
Vivian went over and kicked Lily's leg in protest, then bent down to pick up the pieces of the breastplate. Sure enough, she found curved lines on the surface of the silver-white metal plate, but the breastplate was seriously damaged.
, the runes on it are incomplete: "Look for any other fragments with runes on them. These things... should be able to be deciphered."
"I'm here to help, too." Hao Ren greeted from the side, and then he and Lily rummaged through the armor remnants on the ground. Most of these fragments were forcibly damaged by Vivian's extreme cold of dozens of degrees below zero.
It was frozen to pieces, so few complete pieces of metal could hardly be found, but after rummaging for a while, Hao Ren still discovered something: it seemed that every undead knight had runes on his body.
Moreover, all the runes are engraved in the same place, and there is no difference in size or form. It seems that all knight armors are "mass-produced goods."
"I found it!" The first one to find the complete armor was Lily. The wolf girl handed a metal plate about a foot square to Vivian, who immediately translated the runes on it: "...the prison of the devil's chamber.
Official, watcher, sleepless warrior...contracted to guard the power of demons and expel intruders...not to enter the demon's chamber...it is a rune that takes effect simultaneously between the contract and the imbuing of demons."
Hao Ren was confused: "What do you mean?"
"It seems that we made a mistake," Vivian's face became subtle. "We initially thought that the sealing system in the underground palace was to suppress the undead below, and thought that these knight ghosts were the ones to be suppressed. In fact, the situation is
Quite the opposite: these knights are also part of the underground palace's defense system, they are the guards here, and there are other things that are really being suppressed."
Hao Ren looked down at a piece of metal fragment in his hand. In fact, he had already guessed this: these armors buried in the underground palace were obviously carefully arranged, with all types of soldiers and well-equipped weapons. They did not look like they had been suppressed.
It makes perfect sense to say that they are the guards of the underground palace. And since these undead souls are not the ones to be suppressed, then what the underground palace is really suppressing...
"Devil?" Hao Ren heard Vivian mention this word when she was interpreting the runes just now, "This... this is not fun! Don't tell me that this place suppresses demons - there really is such a thing on earth.
A living thing?"
"Even vampires like me and people like Lily... well, there are werewolves, why can't there be demons?" Vivian threw the armor fragments to the ground and corroded them with blood mist. Her voice sounded a little serious.
"It's just that there are many mistakes and omissions in your human myths and legends, and many powerful and violent aliens are classified as 'demons', so I'm not sure whether the 'demons' mentioned on these runes are
Are they real demons or something else? If it’s a fake, it’s easy to tell, but if it’s the real thing… it’s going to be big trouble.”
After pondering for a moment, Vivian added: "Based on the professionalism of the runes on the stone wall, the person who arranged the underground palace is most likely a demon hunter. Demon hunters are experts, and they will not make mistakes in classification...Here
Nine times out of ten, it suppresses the real thing."
Hao Ren's face suddenly twitched: "It's better if you don't add the last sentence!"
Vivian didn't pay attention to Hao Ren's complaints. She just looked more carefully for the remaining runes on the armor fragments, hoping to use these guards to determine what the evil beings they suppressed were like. Lily was a little worried.
: "Are we beating the guards in the underground palace who are used to suppress the demons? Doesn't this mean that we are releasing the demons? Are we... doing something bad?"
The world is really lucky to have such a kind-hearted werewolf girl. Hao Ren patted Lily on the shoulder: "It's okay. The data terminal just said that the seal of the underground palace has long expired, and the remaining tin cans can't suppress it.
If we stay here, the best we can do is help the tyrants..."
"It's not necessarily the body of the devil. The runes say it's the devil's stone." Vivian picked up another armor fragment. "The leg armor has another part of runes on it, which mentions that there is a demon in the underground palace."
In the secret room, what is stored in the secret room is the devil's stone instead of the devil's body. If it were just a stone, the situation wouldn't be so bad."
Hao Ren felt like he was listening to the Book of Heaven: "What is the Devil's Stone?"
"Demons are good at the power of space. The Demon Stone is their locator for teleportation, and it is also the long-range medium they use when corrupting the world. It is like a clone of the demon's power. The material of the Demon Stone is very special, even if the demon hunter
It is difficult to destroy them, so the usual method is to suppress them. If they are suppressed for hundreds of years, they will basically be safe."
"Oh, the power of the Demon Stone will be exhausted in a few hundred years, right?" Hao Ren said matter-of-factly.
"No, it's just that if we can't contact you after hundreds of years, the devil usually replaces it with a new one - if you lose your phone and can't get through to it for two months, why don't you just get a new one?"
Hao Ren: "..." This explanation is quite reasonable, but why does he feel like there is a hole stuck in his throat that won't go up or down?
"That is to say, the Demon Stone in this underground palace is still there, and it can still be used," Lily swallowed. She was a bit naive, but she was not stupid. "We can only hope that the demon behind it has been replaced."
New account, if the movement in the underground palace stimulates the Demon Stone..."
Vivian thought for a while: "Nine times out of ten, you will come over to check on the situation. Even if you lost your mobile phone number for two years and suddenly sent a text message, you still have to have some impression. The devil always has a good memory.
"
Hao Ren pressed his temples hard: "The most important point is: can you two defeat a demon?"
"I don't know," Vivian looked a little embarrassed, "Theoretically, we are all equal 'heterogeneous', and there are also types of demons that are not strong in combat. But it's not that you don't know, I have always been a pacifist.
I rarely fight with others. The biggest battle I participated in was when I was almost dying of poverty and helped the Trojans fight the Greeks for five years, and then helped the Greeks fight the Trojans for five years..."
Hao Ren: "..." Under this situation, he no longer had the energy to complain about Vivian's magnificent dark history.
At this time, Lily finally had an idea. She suddenly realized something: "By the way, Bat, you just said that the rune said: Guards are not allowed to enter the devil's chamber. What does this mean?"
"Although the Undead Guards are useful, the techniques they use come from demons, so they can only be used to guard the surroundings of the underground palace, and cannot be too close to the secret room where the Demon Stone is stored."
"Then do you think this hall... doesn't have a single guard?"
After Lily finished speaking, there was silence in the hall.
All three of them felt a gust of cold air blowing from all directions. Hao Ren carefully looked around the entire stone room and asked with a grimace: "Vivian, what does the Devil's Stone look like?"
The vampire girl recalled: "They are basically irregular, slender black crystals, ranging from half a meter to one meter long. They look like smoked glass, and the tips will be a little red..."
Hao Ren was almost in tears: "...Is it the one hanging from the roof?"
(Sanjiang is finally in first place. If you persist until the last day, you will win. Well, that’s the theory.)
