The air in the passage is not turbid, and there is no smell of dirt and rot, on the contrary, it is very clean, and even a little fragrant.

It's a lot like the freshness of the birds and flowers that Sean had smelled before.

Sean and Joanna walked all the way down the passage to the underground, and the smell of the fragrance in the air intensified. Both of them were in a slightly better mood, after all, the smell of the Devil's Winged Demon Lizard's lair was too unacceptable.

And after entering this tunnel, Sean is even more sure that this is not Amiz's magic room, because it is completely different from the situation in the game.

Sean lowered Arkham to the ground, then took Joanna's gear back before surveying his surroundings.

At this time, where Sean and Joanna were, was at the bottom of a staircase passage, surrounded by a soft light of light blue, which looked like fluorescent lights embedded in the wall. There is only one passage in front of them, and I don't know where it leads, but it is certain that this is the only way for them, and it is obviously unrealistic to return to the lair of the Ghostwing Lizard at this time, and the Ghostwing Lizard will definitely hide in its lair to recuperate in the next few days after being hit hard by Ruiz and Hams, and will not leave at will.

"You're here to protect Arkham, I'll go ahead and take a look." Sean realized that there was nothing to investigate around him, so he spoke.

Joanna also knew that her physical condition was not particularly good at this time, so she couldn't help much, so she nodded and sat down on the floor. He was originally Arkham's man. Although he didn't spend as much time with Arkham as he did with Snell and Hams, he was a companion who had been working together for several years. In fact, they have formed a fixed team relationship, and they have broken away from the concept of ordinary adventurers. However, they didn't think there was anything wrong with them, so they kept making do with it until they met Ryze.

When she thought of Ruiz, Joanna's face looked a little ugly.

Sean knew what Joanna was thinking, he glanced at Arkham, who was still in a daze, and didn't say anything more, just left some food in case he might encounter something unexpected and not be able to come back in time, and then he began to walk forward.

The passage is spacious.

It can accommodate at least four people walking side by side, and it is even more spacious than the lair above.

Sean inspected the stone walls on both sides. It was discovered that the stone walls were made of a material unknown to him, and that they were not much weaker than the Black King in terms of hardness. Sean took the Black King and swiped on it, leaving only a shallow white mark, although he didn't use any force, but the material was indeed enough to shock Sean.

After testing the condition of the stone wall, Sean also checked the ground a little, and found that the ground was as hard as the stone wall, and it looked like a passage dug out of the huge underground. It's just that Sean knows very well that it is impossible for a natural material with such hardness to exist on the Miracle Continent. It may have been possible before the Age of Ash, but after the Age of Ash, much of the ore material has been excavated, and the walls and floors of this passage are clearly not pure natural materials. Rather, it is a synthetic material.

Sean stepped on.

Only this time, the voice of the call did not sound in his mind again, which made Sean frown slightly.

There is nothing but an aromatic sweetness in the air. There was no other weird smell. However, the smell was not a danger sign, at least Sean did not feel any mental impact on himself. On the contrary, it is better to say that his spirit seems to become more energetic after smelling this sweet smell. This made Sean can't help but speed up his pace, and he suddenly wondered where the scent came from. And he always felt that he should know the scent, but for a moment and a half he couldn't remember where he had smelled it.

The passage seemed like an endless corridor, and no matter how fast Sean went, he never saw any new scenes.

This made Sean a little confused.

He began to wonder if he had fallen for some illusion.

This situation is not impossible. Because in many ruins, there are large illusion magic circles, these magic circles may have been used as a means of blocking in the original era when the gods existed, warning others that they had broken into other powerful realms, and there was no danger in themselves. But with the passage of time, it is no longer easy to easily crack these illusion magic arrays in today's era, and many people are often unable to get out of it because they fall into these illusions, and they lose their lives instead.

Even in the game, there were many players who couldn't break the illusion, and as a result, because of the peak fatigue value and the consumption of hunger, they could only end up dropping the level with hatred. That's why, in the middle and late stages of the game's second expansion, many guilds and teams are starting to take illusionists seriously, as they are the only ones who can dispel them.

Sean's brow furrowed, and he had even begun to prepare to retreat.

But at this moment, the voice that was extremely tired and weak sounded in Sean's mind again: "Keep going!" ”

Sean was shaken all over his body, and then subconsciously began to continue to move forward.

"Who the hell are you?" Sean shouted in his heart.

But I didn't get any reply.

It seems that this time, the voice lost the ability to talk to Sean, and just blindly urged Sean forward. Several times when Sean tried to stop, the voice would become so harsh that Sean felt a strong tingling sensation in his head, which forced him to keep walking.

But even so, after another half an hour of walking, Sean still did not come to the end.

And at this moment, the voice in Sean's head was no longer blindly urging Sean to move forward: "Firmly believe in your goal!" Keep moving! ”

At this moment, in Sean's eyes, he even saw the green field again, and a figure stood in the middle of this green field, looking at Sean with a peaceful face. Sean couldn't see the other party's appearance clearly, there seemed to be a thick fog there, but Sean could clearly feel the other party's eyes full of warm smiles. It's like a kind elder looking at the juniors, looking forward to the growth and prosperity of the juniors.

"Who are you?" Sean asked suddenly.

"A little further on."

There was a nice sound sound, but in any case, it couldn't hide the tiredness in the voice.

It's like an old man in his twilight who finally can't stop the passage of time, and is sitting in a rocking chair at the last moment of his life, waiting for the last visit from his juniors.

At this moment, Sean suddenly dared not move on.

He was afraid that if he really met the other party, the other party would leave peacefully like an old man who could finally breathe his breath with peace of mind.

Sean didn't understand why he felt this way, but at this moment, he really didn't want to move on. His pace slowed down slowly, almost at a pace of one step per second - Sean didn't dare to stop, I don't know why, after hearing the words of this man just now, let him keep going, firmly believe in the goal, Sean was very afraid to stop.

"Don't be afraid." The broad and warm voice sounded again, with an unknown understanding, "We are the world-seekers, and death is not the end for us, because the fire of our will has not been extinguished. …… Come, my son, and go on bravely, for I am waiting for you on the other side of the door, and do not be deceived by the promenade of vanity, for your path should not stop here. ”

The scene in front of Sean's eyes began to gradually blur.

Soon, the bird-singing green field that Sean saw quickly receded from Sean's surroundings like the waters of the ebbing tide. When Sean came back to his senses, the surrounding area had become a corridor that seemed to have no end, the light blue fluorescence was still shining, and the fragrance in the air was still permeating.

Sean, however, finally remembered where he had smelled the scent.

The Flower of Vanity.

This is a very rare plant that can be used as a magic material, and it is also an essential material for high-level alchemy potions, and it is also an auxiliary material for many illusionists to practice illusions. This kind of thing is very rare in the Miracle Continent nowadays, and it is rumored that it is a special plant brought by other planes. It's just that this plant was originally used as an anesthetic, because even when the legendary powerhouse was seriously injured and needed pain relief, this plant could also produce effects. It's just that after being transplanted to the Miracle Continent, it has more of this deceptive nature, which can amplify the sense of the passage of time and various other perceptions of all living beings.

Falling into the fragrance of the flower of vanity, it is easy to lose yourself, and then consume a large amount of your body in vain, and finally starve to death.

Sean was sure that if it weren't for the reminder of that voice, he would have been lost.

Staring at what seemed to be an endless line ahead, Sean closed his eyes, then exhaled softly, and after taking a deep breath, he walked forward with bated breath. This time, Sean no longer sees with his eyes, no longer uses his perception to sense, he just keeps moving forward, stepping, for children who don't know anything about the situation around him, only the mind to move forward has not changed.

He knew that there was a person waiting for him in the depths of this ruin.

Whether this relic exists in the game, Sean doesn't know.

But what he knew was that the only purpose for which this relic existed in this world was to wait for his arrival.

And almost at the moment when Sean realized this, the system also heard a prompt sound of his task being completed at the same time. (To be continued......)
