I asked Xu Yu in confusion: "Senior Xu Yu, are you sure that the entrance to the shortcut is in this area?"
He nodded firmly for a moment: "That's right, right at your feet!"
As soon as I heard this, I immediately lowered my head subconsciously and saw that there were clearly solid rocks under my feet.
"Senior Xu Yu, you are not fooling me. There is not even a mouse hole around here, and there is no shortcut entrance anywhere!"
Seeing that I didn't believe it, he didn't say anything. He suddenly flew up and quickly turned into a golden light. The golden light rotated several times in the air. Then, a magical scene appeared. Those strange-shaped pieces
, the seemingly nothing special black stone actually glowed with a faint golden light.
Seeing this situation, I couldn't help but be shocked, what is this!? Could it be that there is an entrance to the barrier here!?
I was muttering in my heart, when suddenly, a circular pattern about a foot in diameter and glowing with golden light appeared where I was standing. I didn't dare to be careless and quickly stepped aside.
The golden light pattern started to rotate clockwise, getting faster and faster. I could hardly see the original appearance of the pattern clearly. I only saw a ball of rotating light.
I observed quietly for a while and found that the ground around the golden light pattern slowly disappeared, and a large hole with a diameter of more than ten feet and a bottomless depth appeared on the originally quite hard rock ground.
After a while, he turned into a human and appeared in front of me. He said, "This is the secret passage leading to the underground Yin Lake!"
I explored the inside of the big cave. Although the cave was completely dark, I was still able to detect some conditions with my current probing ability. I found that the deepest part of the big cave seemed to be a body of water.
From this point of view, this big hole should be located directly above the underground Yin Lake.
"Let's go in quickly! Otherwise, the entrance will be closed again in half a quarter of an hour!" After saying this, he immediately transformed into a dragon body and flew directly into the black hole. I took a deep breath, flew up, and followed.
It flew into the cave behind him.
We flew down the narrow tunnel for about twenty or thirty meters. The space suddenly became extremely spacious and the surroundings were pitch black. I activated my spiritual sense to explore around and found that we were in the underground lake.
directly above.
I was thinking about where to fly when a ball of fire suddenly burst out from the distance. I immediately said, "That's the place where the Balrog is sealed! Let's go and have a look!"
The two of us flew towards the place where the fire was shining, and we soon flew directly above the fortress. I was surprised to find that there were people on the tower of the fortress, and there were many people in the valley below the fortress.
The orange flame beasts were attacking the fortress tower. The orange flame beasts seemed to want to rush out of the valley, but the fortress blocked them.
The fortress tower is more than 20 meters high, and the original stone stairs next to the tower have been destroyed. The Orange Flame Beast cannot fly. Although it has a strong jumping ability, it cannot jump that high. The city gate is used
Many stones were blocked and the Orange Flame Beast couldn't break out, so it had to
Wave after wave of attacks were launched towards the fortress. The orange flame beasts jumped up and sprayed flames towards the city tower, which was still very lethal. The people on the city tower used spears, crossbows and stones to fight back, but it seemed that there was no way.
It didn't have much effect, and I almost couldn't support it anymore.
Seeing this situation, I immediately said to Xu Yu: "Senior Xu Yu, we have to go help them quickly!"
Immediately, there was a deafening roar, and the people on the city tower and the orange flame beasts in the valley were shocked by the dragon roar, and they all raised their heads.
For a moment, it can be said that he is the savior of the slaves in Sirius Castle. Most of the slaves have seen him transform into a blue dragon. Now that they saw the blue dragon again, the people on the tower cheered, while the Orange Flame Beast looked a little panicked and looked up.
Get up and look into the air
Spray flames, but at this moment Qinglong and I are still at an altitude of tens of meters, and the flames they spray are only seven or eight meters high, so it is impossible to hurt us. What they do is not so much attacking.
It is said to be giving us a warning.
Qinglong let out another deafening roar, then swooped down and rushed straight towards the valley, and I quickly followed him.
Qinglong sprayed a cloud of clear white mist towards the orange flame beasts in the valley. The white mist spread rapidly in the valley. As soon as the orange flame beasts with orange flames burning all over their bodies were shrouded in the white mist, the flames all over their bodies immediately erupted.
It was extinguished, and the body was frozen.
Xu Yu is a water-based divine dragon. Water can defeat fire. He was originally the nemesis of the fire-based orange flame beasts. But now that he has fully recovered his vitality, his strength has been greatly enhanced compared to the last time. It is natural to deal with these orange monsters.
Down.
The surviving orange monsters were frightened and retreated one after another, and soon they all retreated into the artificial cave at the end of the valley.
That artificial cave was dug out by the slaves of Sirius Castle after spending decades under the coercion of evil spirits. It leads directly to the place sealed by the Flame Demon.
When we left before, the entrance to the cave was frozen for a moment with the freezing technique, but now it has been broken through by the orange monster.
Xu Yu and I did not immediately chase into the cave, but landed on the fortress tower.
As soon as my feet hit the ground, many soldiers holding crossbows and wearing leather armor immediately gathered around me. I took a glance and found that there were several familiar faces among them, and the leader among them was very familiar to me. He was no one else.
It's Lao Wutou!
When I saw Old Wutou, I was about to greet him, but Old Wutou led all the soldiers to kneel on the ground and kowtowed to me and Xu for a moment.
I didn't expect them to pay such a big gift to us. I was completely unprepared and felt flattered. However, I was stunned for a moment and then came back to my senses. In their minds, Xu Yu and I were not only theirs.
The savior is a god-like figure, so it is reasonable for them to kowtow and worship us.
However, I couldn't stand being worshiped by a large group of people like a Bodhisattva, so I hurriedly stepped forward and stretched out my hand to help Old Wutou up.
"Brother Wutou, what are you doing! Why are you still worshiping me? Get up!"
Old Wutou said tremblingly: "These two benefactors are great gods who can subjugate demons and eliminate demons. I... When ordinary people see them, I should kowtow three times and bow nine times."
Looking at the respectful expressions of Old Wutou and the soldiers behind him, I knew that it would be difficult to convince them for a while, so I didn't bother to say anything more to him. Instead, I hurriedly asked him: "Brother Wutou, what on earth is going on?"
What's the matter? Wasn't that cave sealed by Senior Xuyu with the ice sealing technique? When was it broken through by those orange flame beasts?"
Old Wutou calmed down and told me: "This happened more than ten days ago. When my benefactor and his party left, he repeatedly told us to pay attention to the movement in that cave. We did not dare to take it lightly.
, dispatched nearly 3,000 warriors, stationed in this fortress for a long time, and have been
The cave was closely monitored. Just a dozen days ago, the demon soldiers hidden in the underground cave suddenly launched an attack on the fortress. The warriors fought to the death with the demon soldiers and finally repelled the onslaught of the demon soldiers. But only later did we
I discovered that the real purpose of the magic soldiers is actually that cave!"
When Old Wutou said this, I immediately asked, "How do you say this?"
"The demon soldiers concentrated their forces to launch a fierce attack on the fortress. Although this fortress is easy to defend and difficult to attack, our troops are limited after all, so we had to put almost all our troops on the fortress for defense. However, we never thought that some owl monsters would fall from the sky and attack the seal.
The ice in the cave attacked. They smashed the ice with rocks. Although the ice was very hard, it still cracked.
By the time we discovered it, it was already too late. We were worried that the fire monster sealed in the cave would break out, so we sealed the fortress gate with stones and destroyed the stone steps leading to the fortress tower.
This temporarily blocked the swarming fire monsters. However, we also suffered heavy losses. We are the only ones left among the 3,000 warriors."
When Old Wutou said this, he raised his hand to wipe the tears that overflowed from the corners of his eyes. I raised my head and looked around. Looking around, there were at most seventy or eighty people left, and everyone was injured and had already died.
It's exhausting.
Only a few dozen of the three thousand people were left. You can imagine how brutal the battle was. I took a deep breath and said to Old Wutou: "Now that Senior Xunyu and I are here, we are going to solve this matter completely! You guys!
Just rest first and leave the rest to us."
Old Wutou immediately nodded and said: "Then there is Mr. Lao En. Please ask your benefactor to re-seal the cave. We will do our best to guard it and never let the evil spirits come to destroy it again."
I waved my hand and said, "No! Freezing the entrance is just a temporary measure, but this method treats the symptoms rather than the root cause. If we want to prevent future troubles forever, we still have to cure them from the source!"
"What does my benefactor plan to do?"
"You don't have to worry about this! In addition, I have another thing to ask you."
"If you have something to say, please speak up!"
"There have been frequent earthquakes in this area recently. Does Brother Wutou know what's going on?" I asked.
Old Wutou shook his head and said: "In the past ten days, we have been fighting to the death with evil spirits every day. How can we care about other things. However, earthquakes have indeed been quite frequent during this period, and this time
The attack by the demon soldiers on the fortress seems to be related to the earthquake!"
"What!? Is it related to earthquakes!?" I couldn't help being surprised and asked quickly: "Brother Wutou, why do you think so?"
"Ever since our benefactor helped us defeat the evil spirits, although there are still some stragglers inevitably appearing, they have never formed a large scale. This time, the evil soldiers suddenly gathered in large numbers and launched a fierce attack on the fortress. It was during a battle of considerable intensity.
