Richard has always been very clear: Wizard Eva will not trust him 100%, so from the moment Wizard Eva handed Teddy and the four people over to him, he guessed that there would be eyes placed among them to monitor him. .
Before, I kept digging and found that although his behavior was a bit weird, it was not out of the ordinary. It is a good thing for Teddy and the four of them to have magic props to pick up. Naturally, An’s eyes won’t jump out and say anything.
But now, the excavation work has finally yielded results. The ultimate treasure of the Black Spirit Empire has been unearthed at the third to last suspicious location, and An's eyes can't help but pop out.
To be honest, it is the duty of the inserted eyes to do this. There is nothing to criticize, but... he doesn't like it.
Yes, he didn't like anyone getting in his way, especially when it was about to figure out the ultimate secret of the Black Spirit King.
Frowning slightly, looking at Bata, Richard said: "Wizard Bata, do you really want to go down with me to have a look? To be honest, I still think it's better for you to stay up here with the others. Yes. Yes, this is a good magic item that can increase the power of spells. It should be very suitable for you. I wanted to give it to you before, so take it now."
As he spoke, Richard threw a ring to the wizard Bata.
Wizard Bata stretched out his hand to catch the ring, looked at it, took it with his hand, then looked over and said with a smile: "Thank you so much to Wizard Richard for your kindness, but I still want to follow you down, Wizard Richard. After all, If you get benefits, you have to help, right?"
As these words fell, the surrounding air suddenly solidified for a moment.
The behavior of the wizard Bata is almost equivalent to breaking one's skin.
Richard gave the ring, which was better than all the magic props given to Bata before. This move was naturally to bribe Bata, which was the most effective and trouble-free way for him.
If Bata was extremely loyal to the jungle hut, he would naturally refuse and insist on going underground. If Bata was not so loyal to the jungle hut and valued his own interests more, he would accept the ring and stay on the ground.
Now Bata has accepted the ring and wants to go underground again.
To put it nicely, this is eating the sugar coating and hitting the cannonball back. To say the least, this is almost equivalent to rogue behavior. It was completely because Bata felt that he could no longer benefit from Richard after his identity was exposed, so he was prepared to get more.
This is really disgusting.
However, Richard was not angry. Instead, he laughed. He looked at Bata for several seconds and said, "Since... Wizard Bata insists so much, then okay, let's explore together, please." As he spoke, Richard made a gesture please action.
"It's a pleasure to cooperate with you, Wizard Richard." Bata said, striding over, his usual hot-tempered look completely gone, and his brows and eyes were full of cunning.
Without saying anything, Richard took the lead and walked towards the passage.
As a result, there was another voice behind him.
"Richard!"
Richard turned his head and saw Teddy looking over.
"Why, are you going to join me?" Richard asked angrily.
Teddy shrank his neck, widened his eyes and said, "Don't scare me. It's better not to take me with you for such a dangerous thing. I'm very weak and I know myself. I'll just wait for you up here."
"Then what did you ask me to do?"
"I... I just want to ask you, what should I do about the decisive battle? Master Eva is urging me, are you going or not?"
"Is this..." Richard thought for a while and said, "Just wait for me for a while. I will give you the answer after I finish exploring the underground."
"What if it's late?"
"It's not too late." Richard said, waving his hand and walking into the passage without looking back.
"How do you know you're not too late..." Teddy wanted to say something else, but saw that Richard and Bata had disappeared, so he had to stop.
Turning to look at Noel and Jenny next to him, Teddy said: "Hey, you two have seen it, I have said everything I need to say. If Richard is really late to discuss the decisive battle, Eva The wizard blames me, but you can’t blame me. When the time comes, you two will have to prove it for me.”
Noel and Jenny shrugged, with different expressions, and turned to look at the entrance of the passage, wondering what they were thinking.
…
underground.
Richard and Bata walked down the passage and soon entered a corridor.
The entire corridor is made of large stones, about four meters high and more than five meters wide, making it very spacious. The four walls of the corridor are inlaid with fluorescent stones the size of pebbles, emitting bright but not dazzling light, illuminating everything in the corridor.
Looking at the corridor, Bata clicked his tongue and sighed: "Isn't this place very nice? It seems that this place hides a lot of secrets. Wizard Richard, am I right?" At the end of the sentence, Bata turned to look at Richard.
Richard ignored it. As soon as he stepped into the corridor, he took out an oxygen mask from the space iron ring and put it on his face, and walked straight towards the depths of the corridor.
Bata asked for trouble, but he was not angry. He took a strange look at what Richard was wearing on his face and followed Richard forward.
"Ta-ta-ta..."
The sound of crisp footsteps echoed in the corridor for a long time. Richard and Bata kept moving forward without encountering any dangers along the way. They successfully reached the door of a hall.
Looking from the outside to the inside of the door, you can see that the entire hall covers an area of more than two hundred square meters. There are no furnishings. It is empty and slightly weird.
Richard stood at the door and scanned the hall carefully, very vigilant.
Bata took a few glances at the door and found that there was really nothing in the hall. He walked into the hall without caring much and turned to Richard: "Wizard Richard, what are you afraid of? There is really nothing in here. , are you still worried about hurting yourself? I’m not even worried."
Richard didn't speak, just tilted his head slightly and looked into the corner.
"Um?"
Bata subconsciously followed Richard's gaze, and then saw a round hole as thick as an arm on the wall in the corner. It seemed to be specially set aside. It was very similar to the entrance of the snake cave dug out during the previous excavation. .
This is
Bata was confused, and the next moment his eyes shrank, a "hissing" sound sounded, and a ray of silver light flew out and shot toward him quickly. Taking a closer look, he saw that it was a long silver snake with gold patterns. The snake's mouth was wide open, and the snake's teeth exuded a cold light, like a knife.
Bata was shocked at first, but after seeing clearly, he quickly regained his composure and looked a little indifferent. After all, he is a first-level intermediate wizard and is not afraid of ordinary snakes at all. With a wave of his hand, there was a faint electric arc flashing on his fingers, and he grabbed the gold-patterned silver snake like an eagle's claws. He accurately pinched the seven inches of the snake. The electric arc exploded, electrocuting the gold-patterned silver snake and causing it to twitch for a while, and then it fell hard to the corner. middle.
"Pop!"
Bata clapped his hands lightly, looked at Richard and said, "Wizard Richard, it's just a snake. Is it easy to solve it?"
"Not necessarily." Richard said at this time.
"Huh?" Bata was stunned and looked towards the corner with awareness. He saw the gold-patterned silver snake that he had obviously "killed" twist its body, fly up like a spring, and bite straight towards his throat, seemingly fine.
this!
