The evil demon obviously didn't expect that we would actually launch an attack, and since the large army of evil demons hadn't arrived yet, apart from the owl monster, there weren't actually many evil demons lurking at the mouth of the canyon, just dozens of human-wolf beasts.
Under our fierce attack, we were quickly wiped out. As for the owl monsters, they also avoided them because they were afraid of the silver light emitted by the silver dragon's body.
Our team of seven mixed in with the slaves and followed Chen Biao and others, and soon arrived at the mouth of the canyon, which is adjacent to Yin Lake. We walked to the cliff and took a look, and found that the rope that was originally hanging there was still there, so we almost
He immediately climbed down along the rope.
The group of people first went down to the earth and rock pit, and then climbed along the cliff from the earth and rock pit into the cave on the cliff.
In fact, there were still many owl monsters flying on the lake at this time, but the owl monster's attention seemed to be attracted by the silver dragon in mid-air, so we were not discovered until we all got into the cave.
.
Everything went smoothly as planned. Now we only need to return along the original path to the arch cave where we met the old ghost and Long Jiansheng before, and we can approach the Sirius Castle without anyone noticing. However,
Because the terrain in the cave is very complicated, although we have walked it before, no one can remember the specific route, so I summoned Wuchenzi from the stone sign again, and he led us along
Go back the same way.
With Wu Chenzi around, the giant lizards and giant rats lurking in the cave gave way, so our journey was relatively smooth and we encountered almost no obstacles. But everyone was actually very uneasy, mainly because they were worried that the fortress was attacked by evil spirits.
After breaking through, Li Guo tried many times to contact Chen Biao using the intercom device built into his helmet to ask him about the fortress' location.
Although the communication distance of the military intercom equipment they used can reach more than 20 kilometers, due to the complex terrain in the cave, the communication distance is naturally greatly reduced.
And this made everyone feel even more uneasy, and they didn't know whether they could withstand the demon's attack.
We wandered around the intricate cave for three or four hours before we finally emerged from the arched cave where we met Lao Gui and Long Jiansheng before.
The surroundings were dark, but bursts of dragon roars and gunshots could be heard from a distance. Following the sound, a ball of fire could be vaguely seen. It seemed that the evil spirits had launched an attack on the fortress, and a fierce battle was currently taking place.
Li Guo once again called Chen Biao through the intercom device. What people didn't expect was that they were contacted this time, and the signal seemed to be good. But it's not surprising when you think about it. Our current location and the fortress are both located in a huge underworld.
Next to the lake, there is no barrier between them, so they can naturally communicate with each other.
Chen Biao told us through the intercom equipment that the army from Sirius Castle had arrived and launched a fierce attack on the fortress they were defending. Fortunately, with the help of the Silver Dragon, the evil spirits could not attack for a while. However,
It's hard to say how long we can hold it, so I hope we can sneak into Sirius Castle as soon as possible.
After hearing what Chen Biao said, everyone didn't care so much and immediately ran towards the direction of Sirius Castle.
According to our previous speculation, this arched cave entrance is only a few hundred meters away from Sirius Castle, but in order not to expose the target, no one turned on the lights. Wen Qingshan and Li Guo all relied on night vision goggles to check the surrounding situation. However, due to
The visual range of the night vision device was limited, so I couldn't see where Sirius Castle was, so I could only follow Kuroki forward.
Kuroki originally thought that we might encounter the demon's mobile sentry, so everyone was cautious. However, we did not encounter any demon along the way. It seemed that the demon sent most of the troops to the fortress, leaving the city empty of troops.
As for mobile sentries, they had to be cancelled.
We walked forward for about ten minutes, when Kuroki suddenly stopped and motioned for everyone to stop.
At first everyone thought he had discovered the mobile sentry, and they all tightened their grip on the thing in their hands. However, after waiting for a while, there was no movement in front of them.
Wen Qingshan couldn't help but asked in a low voice: "Brother Heimu, what's wrong?"
Kuroki replied in a low voice: "Not far further, there is the end of this cliff plank road. The end is connected to a stone bridge. This stone bridge is the bridge of Tianlang Castle. After the bridge, you will reach Tianlang.
Castle. There are wolf soldiers stationed at the head of this stone bridge. If we go any further, I'm afraid we will be discovered by them."
After listening to what Kuroki said, I looked forward carefully. Although I couldn't see clearly with the help of night vision goggles, I could vaguely see two symmetrically distributed buildings, which must be the bridgehead that Kuroki mentioned.
"Then how are we going to get around now?" Wen Qingshan asked.
Kuroki turned his head and looked at the Yin Lake next to him, and said, "There is only one way now."
"What can Brother Kuroki do?" Wen Qingshan asked hurriedly.
Kuroki replied: "The entrance to the secret passage is located under the city bridge ahead. We can swim there!"
When Wen Qingshan heard this, he couldn't help being surprised: "What did you say!? Swim over?"
I was also shocked, because Old Wutou had told us before that we should not go into the water no matter what, because there were terrifying man-eating water monsters in the water, and Heimu was also born and raised here. It is impossible not to know this, but why did he
He also offered to swim there? Thinking of this, I asked him curiously: "Brother Kuroki, you should know that there is a man-eating water monster in this Yin Lake, right?"
Kuroki nodded: "Of course I know!"
"Since there is a man-eating water monster in this lake, aren't we afraid of being attacked by the water monster when we swim in the lake?" I asked.
Kuroki replied: "You don't know that although there are many water monsters in this Yin Lake, there are no water monsters in this area?"
Kuroki's answer surprised all of us. Wen Qingshan quickly asked: "Why are there no water monsters in this area?"
"I don't know that."
"Then how do you dare to conclude that there are no water monsters in this area?" Wen Qingshan asked.
Kuroki was silent for a moment and replied: "Because I once fell into the lake here, but I didn't encounter a water monster, and I was lucky enough to survive."
"There is such a thing!?"
Kuroki nodded and told us: "One time when we were returning to the castle from work outside and passing the city bridge, a wolf soldier whipped my father with a whip in his hand. At that time, I was furious.
A fight broke out with him, and the wolf soldier was stoned by me.
My head was smashed to death, and I was also chased by the wolf soldiers who came for reinforcements. With no way out, I jumped into the lake. Originally, I thought that I would definitely be dragged to the bottom of the lake by the lake monster.
But what I didn’t expect was that I was not attacked by a water monster.”
Hearing Kuroki say this, the old ghost said from the side: "Maybe you were lucky and didn't encounter the water monster."
"No! At first I thought I was lucky, so I swam desperately to the shore. When I swam to the shore, I actually found a corpse, and it was also a highly decomposed corpse."
"Corpse?"
"That's right! This corpse must be that of a slave who died accidentally. This is not surprising. In this place, people die accidentally almost every day, but in this Yin Lake, there is almost never a corpse. Because as long as there are people
If you fall into the water, regardless of whether you are dead or alive, you will be immediately dragged to the bottom of the lake by the water monster. This body is highly decomposed and must have been dead for a long time, but it is still floating on the water, which is enough to prove that there are no water monsters in this area."
Everyone was a little surprised when Kuroki said this.
Wen Qingshan said very puzzledly: "Since there are water monsters in this Yin Lake, why are there no water monsters in this area?"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was suddenly an extremely powerful groan, accompanied by a "gurgling" sound that sounded like bubbling, and everyone was startled.
Li Guo asked nervously: "What was the sound just now!?"
And this roar sounded a bit familiar to me. It felt like a dragon's roar, but it was not as high-pitched as a dragon's roar. I calmed down and answered: "It seems to be a dragon's roar, but the sound is not as high-pitched as the dragon's roar."
It looks a little strange."
"I think it's a dragon's roar. The reason why it sounds a little strange is because it comes from underwater!" Wen Qingshan said.
"You mean there's a dragon underwater?"
Wen Qingshan glanced at Heimu and said: "The ancestors of Brother Heimu said that there is a demon dragon locked in the underground prison. If the secret entrance to the underground prison is under the water not far away, then the dragon sound just now
I’m afraid that the moan is coming from the demon dragon locked in the underground prison!”
Hearing what Wen Qingshan said, something suddenly flashed in my mind. I remembered that when we encountered water monkeys in Shenzhang Bay, Wen Qingshan and I were able to swim smoothly in Huanglong Cave under the protection of the silver dragon. The silver dragon was in the water.
When diving and swimming, the water monkeys didn't even dare to approach, which meant that the water monkeys were very afraid of dragons. Thinking of this, I immediately said, "I know why there are no water monsters in this area. I'm afraid it's because there are
That’s why this dragon exists!”
"It makes sense. The water monster is very afraid of the dragon. Although the dragon is locked in the water prison, it moans from time to time, which makes the water monster dare not approach."
After hearing what we both said, Kuroki was surprised and happy: "So, what our ancestors said is true!?"
Wen Qingshan nodded: "It should be true! And if there is really a dragon locked in the water prison, it in turn means that the entrance to the underground prison is indeed nearby, and that passage is still open.
." Having said this, Wen Qingshan turned to Kuromu and asked: "Brother Kuromu, do you know the exact location of the entrance to the passage?"
