Chapter 58: The Demon Stone
"It's ...... Safe? β
Hao Ren gasped for a long time and finally breathed his breath, and then looked at the quiet rock hall in disbelief, the passage that the three of them ran into before had been completely blocked by the explosion caused by the lightning impact, and the undead knights who chased them all the way were blocked on the opposite side, although those knight armors were amazingly powerful, but they were not to the point where Lily could open the mountain and crack the stone with his bare hands, plus they themselves were made of metal with limited strength, so they probably couldn't dig up those gravel - at least not for a short time.
It seems that I can take a breath and brush up the current situation.
"Probably...... Not yet," Vivian closed her eyes slightly and felt the energy flow of the entire dungeon, "The breath of the necromancer is everywhere, but I don't know what's going on, there is no movement for the time being, and it was only a small part of the ...... that chased us just now"
"Damn, a small part?!" Hao Ren was taken aback, "What did the lord here plan to do back then?" β
Lily was rummaging around the pile of completely shattered armor fragments, rummaging through them with the curiosity of a canine, and then suddenly found something strange on a smashed and deformed breastplate fragment: "Hey, bat, come and see what this is?" Is it also a Leta rune? β
Big dog and bat, it seems that these two are not going to call each other's names properly in their lives.
Vivien went over and kicked Lily in the leg in protest, then bent down to pick up the pieces of the breastplate, and sure enough, she found zigzag lines on the surface of the silver-white metal plate, but this breastplate was broken, and the runes on it were incomplete: "Look to see if there are any other pieces with runes, these things...... It should be able to be deciphered. β
"I'm here to help, too." Hao Ren greeted beside him, and then rummaged through the wreckage of the armor all over the ground with Lily, most of these fragments were frozen and shattered by Vivian's extreme cold impact of dozens of degrees below zero, so there were basically no complete pieces of metal, but after rummaging for a while, Hao Ren still found a situation: 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 their size and form, as if all the knight's armor is "mass-produced".
"I found it!" The first to find the complete piece of armor was Lily, and the wolf girl handed Vivien a metal plate that was about a square foot, and the latter immediately translated the runes on it: "...... Warden, caretaker, sleepless warrior of the Demon Chamber...... Covenant to guard the power of demons and expel the invaders...... No access to the Demon Chamber...... It is a rune that works at the same time as the contract and the infusion. β
Hao Ren has one head and two big: "What do you mean?" β
"It seems that we have made a mistake," Vivien's face became delicate, "At first, we thought that the sealing system in the dungeon was to suppress the undead below, and that these knightly spirits were the objects of suppression, but in fact, the situation was completely opposite: these knights are also part of the dungeon's defense system, they are the guards here, and there is something else that is really suppressed." β
Hao Ren looked down at a piece of metal in his hand, in fact, he had already guessed this: these armors buried in the dungeon were obviously carefully arranged, with complete classes and well-equipped, no matter how you look at it, they don't look like the targets of suppression, and it makes perfect sense to say that they are the guards of the dungeon. And since these undead are not the objects of suppression, then what this dungeon is really suppressing......
"Demons?" Hao Ren heard Vivien mention the word when she was interpreting the rune just now, "This...... It's not fun! Don't tell me that this place is for the suppression of demons - is there really such a creature on Earth? β
"Even a Bloodline like me and a ...... like Lily Well, werewolves have them, so why can't there be demons? Vivian casually threw the armor fragments to the ground, corroding them with blood mist, and her voice sounded a little harsh, "It's just that there are a lot of mistakes and mistakes in your human myths and legends, and many powerful violent fanatics are classified as 'demons', so I'm not sure if the 'demons' mentioned on these runes are real demons or something else, if it's a fake, it's okay to say, if it's the real thing...... Big trouble. β
After a deep sigh, Vivian added: "According to the professional Cheng dΓΉ of those runes on the stone wall before, nine times out of ten, the person who arranged the dungeon is a demon hunter, and the demon hunter is an expert, so they will not make a mistake in classifying...... Nine times out of ten, the real thing is suppressed here. β
Hao Ren's face suddenly twitched: "You might as well not add the latter sentence!" β
Vivian didn't care about Hao Ren's complaints, she just looked more carefully for the remaining runes on those armor fragments, hoping to use these guards to judge what the evil thing they suppressed was, while Lily was a little worried: "Are we beating the guards in the underground palace who are used to suppress demons?" Isn't that tantamount to letting the demons out? We...... Did you do something bad? β
It is really a great fortune in the world to have such a kind-hearted werewolf girl, Hao Ren patted Lily on the shoulder: "It's okay, I just said that the seal of the dungeon has long passed its expiration date, and the remaining bit of tin cans canned food can't control the field, so let's count it as a ...... at most."
"It doesn't have to be the demon's body, but the rune says the Demon Stone," Vivien picked up another piece of armor, "The leg armor, there is another part of the rune on it, mentioning that there is a place called the 'Demon Chamber' in the dungeon, and the secret room stores the Demon Stone instead of the Demon Body, if it was just a stone, it wouldn't be so bad." β
Hao Ren felt like he was listening to the Book of Heaven: "What is the Demon Stone?" β
"Demons excel at spatial power, and the Demon Stone is their teleportation locator, as well as the long-range medium they use to corrupt the human world, just like a clone of demonic power. The material of the Demon Stone is very special, and it is difficult for even the Demon Hunter to destroy them, so the usual way to deal with it is to suppress it, and if it is suppressed for hundreds of years, it is basically safe. β
"Oh, the power of the Demon Stone will be exhausted in a few hundred years, right?" Hao Ren said assumedly.
"No, it's just that you can't get in touch for hundreds of years, and the demon usually changes to a new one - you can't get through after losing your phone for two months, why don't you get a new one?"
Hao Ren: "......" is quite plausible, but why does he just feel that a groove is stuck in his throat and can't go up and down!
"That is to say, the demon stone in this dungeon is still there, and it can still be used," Lily swallowed, she was a bit second, but she was not stupid, "I can only hope that the demon behind it has changed its name, then if the movement in the dungeon stimulates the demon stone......"
Vivien thought for a moment: "Nine times out of ten, I'll come over to check on the situation, even if you lose your mobile phone number for two years, you have to be a little impressed if you suddenly send a text message, the devil's memory has always been very good." β
Hao Ren pressed his temples hard: "The most important point: can you two beat a demon?" β
"I don't know," Vivien's expression was a little embarrassed, "Theoretically, we are all equal-level 'aliens', and there are also types of demons that are not strong in combat, but you don't know, I have always been a pacifist, and I rarely fight with people, and the largest battle I participated in was when I was about to die of poverty, I went to help the Trojans fight the Greeks for five years, and helped the Greeks fight the Trojans for five years......"
Hao Ren: "......" In this case, he no longer has the strength to complain about Vivian's magnificent black history.
At this time, Lily finally had an idea, and she suddenly realized something: "By the way, bat, what do you mean when you said that the rune says: Guards are not allowed to enter the Demon Chamber?" β
"Although the undead guards are easy to use, the techniques they use are derived from demons, so they can only be used to guard the area of the dungeon, and cannot be too close to the secret room where the demon stone is stored."
"Do you think this hall is ...... Not a single guard? β
Lily's voice fell, and silence fell in the hall.
The three of them all felt a gust of cold air blowing in from all directions, Hao Ren cautiously looked around the entire stone room, and asked with a bitter face, "Vivian, what does the Demon Stone look like?" β
The vampire girl recalled: "Basically, they are irregular slender black crystals, ranging from half a meter to one meter long, and they look like smoked glass, and the tips will be a little red......"
Hao Ren's tears were about to fall: "...... Is it the one hanging from the roof? β
(Sanjiang is finally number one, and holding out until the last day is victory, well, in theory.) οΌ
