After entering the dim underground tunnel, everyone found that it was not as dirty or full of rancid smell as they imagined, but was cleaned clean, and in some places there were even some small light purple flowers that could adapt to the dark environment, although it was difficult to distinguish the specific species, but the faint fragrance filled the entire underground.

There is no doubt that the snake people have been cleaning up the place, and they have put a lot of effort into decorating it beautifully, with large frescoes and reliefs clearly visible, showing no signs of moss and mushroom infestation.

"It's strange that they don't live underground, so why bother to make this place so clean?" Ashley said to herself with a frown.

For adventurers, any anomaly needs to be carefully considered, otherwise they are likely to find themselves in danger.

All kinds of conspiracies are brewing on the continent of Faeron all the time, maybe from the demons of the bottomless abyss, maybe from the demons of Bato's hell, maybe from some evil god, maybe from some evil dragon, maybe from evil organizations such as the red-robed mage, the Santarin Society, the Dragon Lich Cult, and so on.

In this world of strife, no one is completely safe, and if you feel like you're in control, be careful, because it's likely to be an illusion created by some terrible enemy to lower your vigilance.

Obviously, Karan is a careful enough person, otherwise he would not be able to stand out among countless adventurers, and the fact that he lived past the age of thirty is the best proof of this. With the help of the light spell blessed on his shield, he carefully observed his surroundings in an attempt to find some useful information.

It's a pity, though. With his pitiful level of education, he couldn't even read a single letter. Those beautiful fancy characters are not lingua franca at all. It's some kind of very old writing, which no one would be able to recognize without the power of magic.

"Something is wrong, I smell a conspiracy, the employer must be hiding something, she probably knew this was the territory of the lizardman tribe......" Demps whispered as he pulled out a clean bandage and wrapped it around his arm, and it didn't take long for the bandaging to be completed. The bleeding finally stopped.

The half-elf poet also tore open her pants to reveal her snow-white thighs, and after cleaning the wound, she wrapped the bandage a few times, without squirming in the slightest because of the men around her.

Ensuring that the wound would not crack again due to intense activity, Ashley's slightly pale and tense face due to excessive blood loss finally relaxed, and then pointed to the mural on the wall and explained: "Don't look at it, these are the words of the ancient elves, ordinary people can't understand them at all, and only by using reading magic can they know the meaning." However, I didn't memorize this zero-level spell today, so I really can't do anything about it. ”

"Okay. There are always problems at critical moments, and I'm starting to get used to it. Maybe there's even more trouble waiting for us......" Kahlan said with a sad face.

He now finally understood what it meant to be a disaster, first when he was sneaking in, he happened to meet the snake man coming out of the cave, and then when he needed to read magic the most, the poet was not prepared, as if all the bad luck was coming together, and it was not over until everyone was played alive.

"Uncle! Uncle! Come and see this picture! Liv, who had been in a state of high spirits, waved loudly at everyone.

Now these two little Lori, who have no idea how dangerous the situation is, have the heart to run around, arguing about the murals and reliefs, and arguing about the stories told above from time to time, completely unaware that the whole team has fallen into a desperate situation.

Looking at the little ones who were full of interest, Karan's eyes showed a complicated look, and then he lowered his voice and said to his teammates next to him: "I regret it a little now, I shouldn't have dragged the two children in at all, if something happens to them, even if I die, my soul will not be able to rest in peace." ”

"Don't be discouraged, we can escape, no one will die here, and don't forget that you have a beautiful wife to support. The God of Suffering has taught me that the more painful and desperate I am, the more I have to be faithful, and if the moment really comes when someone needs to sacrifice, I think I am the best choice. As he spoke, Demps looked at him with indifference and determination, as if death was not terrible to him, but a glorious thing.

As a warrior monk who believes in the teachings of Ilmat, protecting underage children, standing up against evil, and stopping an unjust atrocity are all things that must be done whenever you see them, even if you die for them.

Especially the two girls, there must be no accidents. The god of suffering could not bear to see underage children being mutilated, and for this reason he did not hesitate to show his extremely violent and cruel side, and his order of knights and warrior monks often fought against slave traders who smuggled and sold children, leaving almost no one alive.

Karan knew very well the character and beliefs of his teammate, so he didn't say anything, just gently patted the other party's shoulder as he passed by, after so many battles, they have become very tacit between them, a movement or a look is enough to express a thousand words.

After a few steps to the side of the two little Lori, the solemn expression on Kalan's face was gradually replaced by a smile, and then he squatted down and asked, "Tell me, what did you find?" Maybe it's an important clue. ”

Pointing to the reliefs on the walls, Elenia explained, "We have just looked at all the carvings and frescoes, and we see that they all tell a story, as if in ancient times, the elves who lived here discovered that there was a powerful monster hidden in the mountains, and it did all kinds of evil, often raiding villages and devouring the inhabitants, so the mages came up with a way, they used some magical ritual to lure this monster into the ground, and then sealed it completely, and finally this painting is the original face of the monster, A giant monstrous snake. ”

Following the direction of Elf Lori's finger, Kahlan saw a huge relief two meters high and four meters wide, and in the center was a serpentine creature with huge wings, especially the head covered with spikes that made people feel their scalps tingle after looking at it, inferred from the size of the surrounding elf mages. This monster is also at least twelve to fifteen meters.

"Oh my God. What exactly is this snake breed? It can grow so big, it can't be right under our feet, and still alive, right? Karan's voice trembled as he spoke, he couldn't imagine what would happen to his team if they encountered such a monster, let alone kill them, and even the possibility of escaping alive was unlikely.

"It's not clear, but one thing is certain." Liv raised her hands excitedly as she spoke. "We can finally have a big adventure! An evil tribe of snake people, a lost underground labyrinth. The terrifying monster that has been sealed is even more perfect if there is a lot of treasure at the end. ”

"Uh-huh, hmm, come on! We can surely become heroes that everyone admires. Elenia nodded vigorously and echoed.

Perhaps it was the battle just now that made the two of them feel that the enemy was nothing more than that, and their self-confidence exploded instantly, as if the giant serpent was nothing more than a lamb to the slaughter.

However, Karan was not so optimistic, and after taking a closer look at the carving, he suddenly noticed that there was a relatively new-looking inscription next to the serpent, which was obviously not quite like its ancient elven language.

"This is the text? Can you read it? He hurriedly turned around and asked everyone.

Ashley, the most literate poet, ran over and took a look. Immediately explained in a low voice: "It's the snake man's words, I can barely read a little." That's probably what it means......"

"Great Mersauk, you will surely awaken from your slumber, and your descendants will soon be able to break free from the seal, and when it reappears in this world, those fragile warm-blooded creatures will be destroyed......

As the last syllable fell, everyone present felt that something was wrong, because there were not many creatures that could be called annihilation, and basically none of them were much worse than adult dragons, and they would be stronger.

"Who is Mersauk? Demon? Devil? Or is it some powerful evil dragon? Karan asked, frowning

In the years he has traveled from south to north, it seems that he has never remembered that anyone has mentioned this name, otherwise he would never have had no impression at all.

Demps, who had some theological foundation, recalled for a while, and finally shook his head: "Sorry, I haven't heard of it either, but there are not any Demon Lords and Devil Dukes who need to be noticed called Mersauk. ”

"Me too." Ashley spread her hands helplessly.

As for the "rice bucket" that can't even speak, forget it, in addition to eating and sleeping, he can only fight, and it is estimated that he doesn't even understand what this word means.

Elf Lori blinked innocently, she didn't need to ask and knew that she had definitely not heard of it, but Liv held her chin and thought about it, while muttering to herself: "Strange...... I think I've seen it in that book...... Why can't you remember it all of a sudden......"

Seeing that the important clue of the hand was broken like this, Karan showed a helpless wry smile on his face, this is not the first time he has suffered a loss of culture, so he quickly adjusted his mentality, and just when he wanted to comfort the team members, a large number of snake people suddenly appeared behind him.

Since they had no legs at all, they relied on their snake-like bodies to writhe and move forward, so they didn't make a sound, and before they knew it, they caught up.

"Damn! Come on! Don't dwell on them, there are so many of them that even being tired can exhaust us to death. ”

Without any hesitation, Karan, as the leader of the team, immediately gave the order to retreat. Liv shot a fireball that slightly hindered the snake man's pursuit, and Elenia collapsed a stone pillar with an explosive arrow, and the group fled deeper in a hurry.

Although they all know very well that there are probably terrifying monsters sealed inside, they can only take one step at a time when they are forced to do so, and the outcome can only be left to fate......

At the same time, Tyrantiel, who was far away in the Baldur's Gate Mage Tower, looked at the image in the crystal ball, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly and said with a smile: "Interesting, is it a descendant of the sleeping snake god Mershok?" It seems that I have done some preparation, and this level of enemy is not an enemy that they can deal with......"
