That thing is a ball of energy, and I don't know what color it is, but after Roland's mental net is entangled, he will feel sick and want to vomit. What's even more outrageous is that this thing seems to be able to suck his mental power.
It's slow, but it's really sucking.
So Roland quickly took back his spiritual thread.
"That should be the gatekeeper left by the brave ancestor." Cage looked at the rocky beach ahead: "It seems that it will be very troublesome to clean up these things. The worst thing is that when we are about to clean up, the things below will Will the gatekeeper launch a surprise attack on us?"
Cage's concerns are justified.
As a former mercenary, although he has not fought for almost ten years, Cage is still alert enough.
He knew exactly what would happen if he was attacked while working.
I have suffered losses in this regard.
Just when he was in trouble, Roland took the initiative to stand up and snap his fingers.
The rocks in front of me were like ice cubes encountering the scorching sun, 'melting' into ** and turning into a swamp. Finally, a small vortex appeared, and the swamp mud began to flow downwards.
"It's amazing!" Cage exclaimed in amazement: "It can cast large-scale magic instantly, and it's also a second-level magic like turning fossils into mud. At your age, you have surpassed the term genius."
Andonara smiled happily. She liked Roland being praised by others.
Roland smiled modestly.
But then Cage frowned: "These swamps have sunk into the secret room. What if three blood bottles are buried?"
"Don't worry. I just explored it with my mental power, and the secret room is quite big." Roland looked at the bubbling vortex: "Even if this small swamp is poured in from the entrance, at most it can only be on the ground of the secret room. Just put a layer of mud less than ten centimeters high on top."
Cage relaxed a lot after hearing this.
Soon most of the swamp flowed away from the whirlpool, and a dark entrance appeared in front of the three people.
Roland flicked his fingers, and the remaining mud turned into rocks again.
Cage glanced at Roland again, then shook his head in admiration.
The three of them came together to the black hole... There were originally stone steps here, but after being filled with mud and water, it was almost impossible to see the appearance of the stone steps. There was only a faint sloping slide with regular undulations.
Cage and Andonara both looked at Roland.
Roland flicked his fingers again, and the slide made of mud became a rock slide.
At this time, a cold breath came up from below the cave entrance, and the surrounding air dropped at an extremely fast speed. The breaths of the three people were instantly filled with white water vapor.
"It's a bit cold." Cage drew out his long sword and touched the sword with his left hand. Blue flames immediately filled the sword, and the cold atmosphere around him immediately disappeared. He continued: "I will go down first, and you will follow later."
After that, he jumped right in.
Because the levitation technique still lasts for most of the time, Cage is not worried that he will be thrown. He falls very slowly.
Roland immediately fired three lighting balls and threw them down, and jumped down at the same time.
Andonara immediately followed Roland.
The three people staggered and fell into the secret room from above, and the three light balls reached the center of the secret room first.
Under the illumination of the light ball, the three of them could clearly see the entire secret room.
The floor of the secret room is covered with a rock layer about ten centimeters thick, and the rock layer is particularly thick and uneven in front of the entrance.
Roland glanced at Cage at this time. The latter had just jumped down without the lighting ball, and he was not afraid at all.
There are only two possibilities, either Cage is actually familiar with this secret room... but this is unlikely.
Another more likely reason is that Cage has dark vision.
Generally, this kind of special ability mostly appears in people of different races...such as kobolds, drows, or night-type monsters.
There are not many races with dark vision in the main plane, only six or seven.
But the demons are different. It is said that the world where the demons live is very dark. In order to survive, all races in the demon world have dark vision per capita.
Combined with the demon world articles last night, Roland had a special guess in his mind.
But this thought only circulated in his mind for a moment, and then his attention was immediately attracted to what was in front of him.
There is a large bluestone platform in the middle of the secret room, similar to a sacrificial altar, and above the platform is a red copper box with a white key hanging on it.
What really caught their attention was a mass of black energy rolling above the red copper box, like a boiling black cloud before a summer thunderstorm.
In the middle of the energy group, there are two red light balls, like a pair of eyes. Looking at the three of them, they are motionless, and they seem to have no intelligence.
Andonara drew her sword and subconsciously blocked Roland's body.
"Is this the gatekeeper?" Cage looked around, waved the long sword with blue flames, and said with a smile: "It turns out that our family is naturally restrained from dark creatures. No wonder our ancestors said that this thing is harmful to us." It’s not difficult for us.”
"But I find it a bit difficult." Andonara pursed her bright red lips and said rather uncomfortably: "I am a great swordsman, and I am naturally incapable of dealing with such insubstantial things."
"Then I'll kill it first." Cage held the blue flaming sword and was about to move forward.
"Wait!" Andonara suddenly stopped him: "Uncle, unless you plan to take the blood of Phoenix home in the future, this thing should stay as a gatekeeper. Let people break in at will from now on. Come on, it’s easy to take away the remaining blood of Phoenix.”
Cage retracted his stepped foot: "What you said does make sense."
"Then what should we do?" Cage looked at the black energy mass: "If we don't kill it, we will probably be attacked by it as soon as we step forward."
"Use your blue flame to protect your whole body, go over and open the box, and then come back, okay?" Roland thought for a while with a mage's mind and said, "Anyway, your family's blue flame can restrain this thing, there is no such thing. If it's smart, it shouldn't dare to attack you with blue protective flames."
Cage looked at Roland with a speechless expression, making the latter a little confused.
"Did I say something wrong?"
Looking at Roland's innocent expression, Cage said depressedly: "We are warriors, not magicians. It is impossible to control magic power as accurately as you mages can and use it at will. I can attach flames to the sword. It took more than ten years to do it without letting them burn everywhere... You let the flames spread all over my body? Although this thing does not hurt the owner, it will burn all the clothes and hair, and I also It’s simply impossible to do such a delicate operation.”
"Then it seems the only option is to destroy it." Roland spread his hands.
Cage took a step forward with his sword, but at this moment, the two red balls in the energy mass suddenly became very bright, and more than doubled in size. They were now the size of an apple instead of an apricot.
At the same time, a very strange sound sounded in the secret room, which was very unpleasant and made people extremely uncomfortable.
It was a scratchy, scalp-numbing voice, a bit like scratching nails on an iron blackboard.
Cage subconsciously took a step back and assumed a defensive posture, while Roland immediately summoned two blue magic shield-holding dolls in front of Andonara.
Moreover, the Rainbow Jet Magic is ready and can be cast immediately.
"The descendants of the Phoenix family are so weak."
A sharp sound sounded in the secret room, and all three of them felt extremely uncomfortable in their eardrums.
And there's also a pretty intense mental attack that's starting to appear.
Cage has the blood of a brave man and comes with the 'Brave' specialty. Normal mental attacks have no effect on him at all.
Roland's mental power is extremely high, and he has a magic shield to protect his whole body. The mental attacks he receives are not big and have almost no impact.
The only one who has a greater impact is Andonara. She is a pure warrior and is naturally less resistant to mental attacks. Fortunately, the Great Swordsman itself has specialized defense capabilities against all magic attacks, including mental attacks. , so she is also more resistant to magic attacks than ordinary warriors.
Although she felt very uncomfortable in her head and always felt a little stinging, that was all.
Cage looked at this black energy in surprise: "You actually have a will. Didn't the manuscript say... you are just a simple pale soul."
"Hahaha!" The voice of the black energy group buzzed in the secret room, full of ridicule: "I have been here for almost a hundred years, and there is nothing strange about rebirthing my own consciousness."
Cage's expression is a little ugly. There is a huge gap in strength between a self-aware soul and an unconscious soul. The brave blood in him is not too obvious. He can deal with ordinary evil monsters, but he can't deal with this kind of one that has been around for more than a hundred years. It may be a bit difficult for a soul that has not dissipated and still has self-awareness.
Then he looked at Roland and felt a little relieved. Fortunately, a magician followed him.
When it comes to 'energy' creatures, spellcasters are the best.
"So, you have your own name and past?" Roland had secretly mobilized his magic power and was ready to attack.
"Of course." The shape of the black energy mass began to change, expand, and deform, and finally turned into a giant humanoid monster with two horns.
He is about three meters tall and looks very powerful.
This look looked familiar to Roland, and he narrowed his eyes slightly.
As for Cage and Andonara, their expressions changed drastically and became ugly.
"It seems that you remember me, the descendants of demon traitors, the descendants of Demon King Phoenix." The giant black horned monster laughed furiously: "A pitiful little man who betrayed his own people and tried to kneel down and lick the human race. . A demon king actually abandoned the demon world that gave birth to him and wanted to become a dog in the main plane. He is your ancestor and ruined our best chance to conquer the human world. Phoenix, you will always be affected by everything. The common curse of the demons, you will sleep in pain for half of your life, and your descendants will always lose their loved ones in the happiest time. I saw... I saw the pain in both of your bodies. The curse is growing and screaming, hahahahahaha!”
The confusing language, full of malice and schadenfreude, made dust fall in the secret room.
As for Cage and Andonara, their faces turned pale, with no trace of blood left.
