Chapter 498: Doubts in My Heart
Bang, bang......
The sound of metal rubbing against the ground came from inside the passageway, and it grew tighter and tighter, getting closer and closer to where the three men were.
"Sounds like footsteps!" Jia Zhengjin whispered to James and Angela as he hid behind them, "Shouldn't the forbidden spell wipe out all the people here?"
"I don't feel any life," Angela looked back at him, "I'm afraid it's an undead!"
"Undead?" Jia Zhengjin was taken aback, "You didn't say there are undead here!"
"So what?" James looked at him indifferently, "We protect you until you get the secondary artifact and leave, that's all!"
"That's right!" Jia Zhengjin thought about it, he had two ninth-order powerhouses to protect him, and he was afraid of a ball.
Bang, bang......
As they spoke, a humanoid creature dressed in a tattered animal skin suit appeared at the intersection in the light. The humanoid creature was dry, as if all the water on its body had evaporated, like a mummy, its hands were handcuffed by heavy iron chains, and its feet were also dragged by cold iron chains and a large iron ball weighing at least a hundred pounds.
It's a complete undead that you can tell by its appearance that it's some kind of undead!
"James!" Angela whispered.
"Leave it to me!" James strode forward, the kind of goods that was so vulnerable to him.
"Hey, can you form a team first?" Jia Zhengjin hurriedly shouted when he saw this, "You guys kill monsters and I'll get experience points!"
"Huh?" Hearing this, James and Angela turned around at the same time and looked at him with a confused expression.
These two ninth-order demonic beasts didn't understand what Jia Zhengjin meant at all.
"Team up! That's if you promise to team up with me!" Jia Zhengjin said again, "Hurry up!"
"Whatever, promise him first!" Angela said helplessly when she saw James looking at her with inquiring eyes. Although the husband and wife actually couldn't figure out what he meant.
James nodded in agreement, and Jia Zhengjin suddenly showed joy.
It's just the next hint that makes him a little confused.
【System】Failed to match party members!
What does it mean? Jia Zhengjin frowned slightly, unable to figure out the meaning of this sentence. Either the team succeeds or the team fails, or you simply don't give any hints!
Is it because James and Angela are not their own men, so they can't match?
Speaking of Jia Zhengjin's own subordinates, they don't even need to match, they are on the same team by default. So the experience points are also directly shared, so it's not so troublesome!
James didn't care so much, when Jia Zhengjin was confused, he had already raised his hand and sent out a lightning ball, directly turning the undead in front of him into charcoal.
Sure enough, Jia Zhengjin didn't get any experience points, and he felt depressed in his heart.
"Hurry up!" James killed the undead and turned his head to urge, "The burial ground is huge, we must find a place to fight for in the limited time!"
"OK! you guys go ahead, I'm behind!" Jia Zhengjin asked James and Angela to go first, and quickly ran over to grope for a while on the charred corpse.
According to the system prompt, this thing is called [Wandering Prisoner Corpse], and it belongs to some kind of mid-level undead that has been resurrected for some unknown reason.
To be honest, this kind of undead fighting power is not weak, if Jia Zhengjin encounters it alone, I am afraid it will be difficult to defeat. But in front of James and Angela, it is true that ants can be crushed to death casually.
【System】You have obtained the prisoner's shackles!
【System】You have obtained the Big Iron Ball!
【System】You've got the stone inscription of Jean!
【System】You have obtained the wine recipe!
【System】You have obtained the ale recipe!
【System】You have obtained the long knife of the Beikui guest!
【System】You have obtained the hat of the North Kui guest!
【System】You have obtained the Wooden Wine Cup!
【System】You've got rotten meat!
The prisoner's shackles, large iron balls, and wooden wine glasses are all useless sundries, and the long knives and hats of the Beikui guests are exactly the same as those found before, and even the attributes are exactly the same!
Of course, the rotten meat is thrown away, although this thing can be used to make fertilizer, but Jia Zhengjin does not need it.
【Wine Recipe】Makes delicious wine or grape juice. Recipe: 5 grapes, 1 empty bottle. Prerequisite: Barrels.
【Ale Recipe】Make delicious ale liquor. Brewing recipe: 10 malts, 1 empty bottle. Prerequisite: Barrels.
The recipes of the two wines are okay, especially the current grape production in Shenglong City is not small, and it can't be sold as fruit alone, and many of them are spoiled in the freezer, which is a pity.
Although some villagers try to make various fruit wines in the old way, they can't make real mellow wine. With this recipe, everything is very simple!
And what Jia Zhengjin cared about the most and felt strange was the second stone he got engraved with words.
【Jean's Stone Inscription】Damn Danny Lock Me Next to the Dark!
This looks a little awkward, what does it mean to be locked next to the darkness? Who is Danniu? Darkness, darkness! The stone just now also mentions darkness. How do flames and thunder merge with darkness? How can people be locked away from darkness?
Is this a special metaphor, or is darkness a personal name?
Apart from this, Jia Zhengjin couldn't think of any other possibility.
Fire, thunder, darkness, danyu...... Age and Jean are supposed to be the names of the prisoners who wrote down the words, so what is the special connection between the first four words? It should not be a simple, meaningless connection, right?
Just as Jia Zhengjin was thinking as he walked, James killed another undead.
He hurriedly went over and groped around with the undead, and sure enough, he found some messy and useless miscellaneous items, as well as a piece of [Orr's stone inscription].
[Orr's stone inscription]: Daniel can't protect us!
Daniel Protection?Jia Zhengjin suddenly stopped, looking at the stone with words in the virtual backpack in a daze.
"Why didn't you leave all of a sudden?" Angela said, turning back, "Hurry up!"
Daniel, could it be the human that James and Angela said scared the dragon? Daniel can't protect us? Does this sentence mean that the human named Daniel was responsible for protecting the prisoners?
Then there is a contradiction!
Jia Zhengjin frowned slightly. Because what James said just now was that Daniel transferred the dragon's forbidden spell to the underground palace, which led to the destruction of everyone!
But according to the prisoner's written record, why did Daniel deliberately move the forbidden spell underground if he wanted to protect them, and why didn't he simply transfer the forbidden spell to the air, or to the vast ocean?
Why did he do it? What reason did he have for doing it?
Or is it that the person who recorded the text made a mistake in writing it, which changed the meaning of the whole sentence?
Or......
He looked up at James and Angela, and a hint of doubt slowly appeared in his heart.
"What's the matter? Catch up!" Angela looked at him quizzically, "What are you doing?"
Jia Zhengjin immediately showed a smile: "I'm sorry! I suddenly had some strange thoughts in my head, so I was distracted!"
"Hurry up and get your stuff and leave, we don't care how long you want to be distracted!" Angela shook her head, "Keep up, okay?"
“OK!”
