A hundred years later, it was not without reason that the Holy Book of the Dead chose that underground temple as its base. Firstly, that temple was the most suitable for holding the ceremony to awaken the goddess of the dead. Secondly, this place was indeed very secretive, because Lily had been searching nearby for three days.
, because this area will be basically a deserted land a hundred years later, and there will not be so many trees, so the parts of the ruins exposed in the valley can still be easily seen, but now, although it is autumn and the weather is very cool, the trees here seem
Most of them are evergreen trees, and they don't wither in autumn. Now everything you look at is lush and lush, and you can't even find the location of the ruins.
"Are you sure you're near here?" Chris frowned and looked at the apparently uninhabited jungle around her. "Although this kind of place is indeed suitable for doing some secretive things, it's too much..."
Before that, Chrissy had ridden the griffin and circled around many times, but could not find the ruins Lily mentioned except trees.
Lily was also a little surprised. Logically speaking, her group had searched the entire area, but there was still no trace of the ruins. Unless she remembered the place wrong, it would have been impossible for her to search for three days and still find nothing.
"But there is another possibility." Elaine had an idea and said to Chris, "My father once told me that there are many ancient ruins that can only appear in the world under specific conditions. In normal times, most of them are
Hidden, I’m afraid the same is true for the underground temple Lily mentioned.”
Chris shook her shoulders and said: "It is indeed possible, but in this case, that person cannot be in the temple. Because only unactivated ancient ruins will be in a hidden state. If that person is really
If you sneak into it, the temple must have appeared."
Lily didn't express any opinion because she still didn't understand what kind of black technology Garsain had in ancient times. It controlled the weather, was completely invisible, and the sky was falling... But both Elaine and Chris thought that the ruins
If you become invisible, there is nothing you can do about it... It seems like you can only go to Bartlea?
While Lily was meditating, little Aurelia timidly pulled the corner of Lily's clothes. Lily turned around and looked at her. The rather cold look in her eyes made little Aurelia take a step back in fright, and then she said weakly: "
It seems like there are many people approaching us..."
"Huh?" Lily's ears trembled, but she didn't hear any unusual movement. Then Lily's eyes flashed red, and the whole world instantly became dark. However, in this darkness, there were many objects emitting red light.
...Some are humanoid--those are Eleven and the others, and some are animal-like--those are animals and monsters in the forest, but apart from that, there is nothing else.
Lily lowered her head again and asked as gently as possible: "Aurelia, are you sure you heard someone approaching?"
Little Aurelia nodded seriously, then closed her eyes tightly and tried to distinguish, and then answered: "There are many people coming, at least twenty or more, from all directions."
"What?!" Little Aurelia's words made everyone nervous - does that mysterious man have any subordinates? But think about it, how could such an obviously big boss character not have a few subordinates?
However, Lily thought for a while and comforted everyone: "I didn't find any biological activity around me, which means that all the things that come are dead." Only dead things can avoid the detection of the vampires. It can be said that as long as they are
No living thing can escape Lily's detection!
"Is it a dead thing?" Chris was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted, "Are you talking about Erebus from the Principality of Dix?"
"But why did they come to us?" Elaine didn't think that these people came to him to drink tea, otherwise it would be impossible to ambush them secretly.
"I don't know, but it's definitely not a good thing." Lily thought for a while and then said, "Now we have three ways to go. One is to ask Gayna to take us directly out of the encirclement. However, Gayna's size is difficult to hide.
There is a high probability that we will be discovered by them. The second is to ask Miliya to teleport us out directly, but because we don’t know why they are looking for us, if we run away rashly, I am afraid it will cause even greater trouble."
"Is there another way?" Prince Mitt asked eagerly, "Is it to fight with them? There are quite a few of us!"
"Miltut, I really doubt you have ever heard of the organization Erebus..." Soy sighed, covered his face and said, "They are a super elite organization with all members at master level or above! Listen!
There are even dozens of legendary strong men, so we might as well just surrender and capture them."
Lily glanced at Mitte and Soy lightly, and then continued: "The other way is for Chris and I to hide, Gayna, you and the others stay, and negotiate with the people of Erebus. If they
We might be able to talk to them if they are willing to tell us why they came to us, but if they attack as soon as they come up, Chris and I will ambush them from behind, and then buy time for Melia to send us out.
"
"Then I have to choose the third option, but how can I hide? I have never learned stealth." Chris said that there is no stealth skill in her skill tree, but Lily pointed to the gryphon that was preening its feathers.
Said, "You ride on it, fly to a tree and hide. The trees here are relatively dense, and you both have legendary level strength. If you want to hide deliberately, it will be difficult for the other party to find it."
"What about you?" Although Chris had seen Lily's pair of little wings, she didn't think that those little wings could help Lily fly.
Lily raised her eyebrows, walked to a tree, and then walked up vertically, stepping on the branches upside down! This completely anti-gravity phenomenon was enough to make Newton crawl out of his grave in anger...
"Vampires are born masters of concealment..." Lily looked at the surprised people with a blank expression, "So you don't have to worry about me at all." After saying that, Lily turned into a small bat with a pop.
There seemed to be a trace of disdain flashing in the red eyes - what's all the fuss about? I can also turn into a wolf!
But even if Lily and Chris were hiding as backup, Elaine and the others still had to make some arrangements. Mira had an idea and ordered Elaine, Soy and Mitt to clean up all the dead leaves and weeds around them.
He had to go out, so that if there was a fight, Mira could set fire to the forest immediately.
Then Mira, little Aurelia and little Qianyu were protected in the middle. Although little Aurelia was eager to go forward and fight, she became honest after being knocked a chestnut by Lily. But everyone forgot to confirm one thing -
—That is whether Miria is there or not. Many times, this elusive witch responds to the call, so everyone thinks that Miria is still in the spectator mode, but they don’t know that Miria has changed her mind after the last encounter.
, learned from the pain and went into retreat to develop new magic.
Soon the members of Erebus appeared in everyone's sight. It seemed that they also had a way to detect Lily and others, so after finding that they were no longer moving, they simply surrounded them openly.
"Excuse me, what's the matter with you?" Elaine felt inexplicably frightened when he saw these high-level undead that looked no different from living people, but he still took out the Erebus emblem that Rhine gave him and said, "
We have no ill intentions, this is the emblem given to us by His Excellency Rhine Imbert, if there is any misunderstanding, we can sit down and talk slowly."
"Your counter-reconnaissance capabilities are good." The leader was a woman with a stiff expression. She just glanced at the emblem and stopped paying attention, as if the Rhine emblem was just a useless decoration. "I have to say that you can
Staying in this forbidden area for so long is a dereliction of our work. Come with us honestly. If it is just a misunderstanding as you said, you don't have to worry. Let the two people hiding aside and
When the gryphon comes out, the leader will naturally let you go after understanding the situation. But your insincere behavior will not win my trust at all... If you want to resist, don't blame us for being rude!"
Lily's pupils shrank... Oops! I forgot that Dix people can sense the undead!
However, the other party's words made Elaine very angry: "We are not sincere? It was obviously you who secretly prepared to surround us first, right? If we hadn't discovered it, I'm afraid we would have been attacked by you now, right?"
"It's useless to talk...do it! Remember to live!" The woman stiffened her face and immediately gave the order. The members of Erebus launched attacks at the same time! And many of them were directly aimed at Lily and Chris.
Yes, it seems they really have a way to detect enemies.
Mira's expression changed, and she immediately used Pyroblast to ignite the surrounding withered grass. Chris and Lily were also forced to fight. Elaine drew his sword and stepped forward, shouting: "Miss Milia! Please send it to me."
Let’s leave!”
However, Milia did not respond. The Erebus members who were initially on alert because of Elaven's shout also sneered and continued to attack Lily and the others! What was even more frightening was that six of them were actually
legend!
