In a dark passage in the underground palace.
AG held a burning cane and walked forward slowly with a sullen face. There was no one around him, and Nessra, who had been with him, seemed to have separated from him, leaving him alone.
"Something feels wrong here." He whispered. "I'm divided, it's some kind of space force that seems to be here."
He looked around with vigilance and thought.
The red flames reflected a slight redness on one side of his face.
He lightly touched something in his pocket with his free hand, and his heart immediately calmed down.
"It will definitely succeed this time, just one step away. The last step."
Resoluteness appeared on his face again, and he strode forward.
*******************
in another dark place
Nessera holds a torch, behind him is Manas in heavy armor, and the thousand-legged snake witch. Both of them looked around vigilantly from time to time.
"I feel a huge evil force entrenched here." The thousand-legged snake's braids shook slightly, twisting faintly like a living thing.
The three of them walked in the passage, and there was endless darkness in front and behind. Only the torch could illuminate the place within a few meters. Where the flames did not reach, there were occasional silhouettes of beast heads.
"Every Dead Apostle's eternal garden is different. Be careful. We only need to contain the power of the garden in the underground palace to achieve our goal. As long as AG can successfully achieve his goal, we can completely destroy this garden."
Nessela whispered.
The blue fire in Manas' eyes jumped a few times.
"It seems that this is Wellington's real hole card. I have prepared some special methods against it, which can just come in handy."
The three of them were on alert, quickened their pace, and walked towards the depths of the underground palace.
I don't know how long it took, the passage of the underground palace gradually widened, and some deep scratches began to appear on the ground. Some tiny text-like things also began to emerge on the wall.
"There seems to be writing on the wall."
The thousand-legged snake walked over and gently stroked the wall.
"Wellington Piersstandovich." She read out softly following the stroked words.
"Pirstandovich?" Nessera frowned suddenly, the name gave him a bad feeling, as if he had heard it somewhere.
"There are still words on the back." The thousand-legged snake continued to stroke the back. Touching it with his fingers, he also whispered the writing on it. "Anil's Garden."
Anil Gardens? !
Nessera's complexion suddenly changed.
"It's been tricked!! Anil's Garden! This place is...!!" Even with her status and strength, she couldn't help but feel a deep chill at this moment.
There are many unsolved mysteries in the world, and Anil Garden is one of them. Rumor has it that it was an underground garden built for a man named Anil, but it is actually a catacomb, an underground mausoleum.
No one knows who Anil is, and no one has found any records of this mausoleum in history. It is just that people accidentally discovered the existence of this Anil Garden underground in a certain lost relic.
But as a well-known taboo place in the extraordinary world, it is famous for its ability to enter but not to exit.
"Shouldn't Anil Garden be in Australia! How could it appear here!!?" Nessera felt her heart beating wildly, and a sense of loss of control beyond the scope of the plan filled her heart.
"We probably haven't gone deep yet. It's too late to quit now!" Manas was not very nervous. He was originally a semi-magic man who transformed humans, and he had never heard of how powerful Anil Garden was.
Nessela shook her head slightly.
"It's too late. If this is really Anil Garden, then the space should be distorted, and the way back will definitely not be found. The time here is even distorted. Be careful."
She took out a small wooden bird and tossed it lightly, and the bird flew back immediately.
"Look."
Manas and Thousand-legged Snake looked along, suddenly a little stunned.
I saw the wooden bird vibrating its wings and flying backwards, but it could only retreat a little distance, and then it could only fly in the air on the spot, unable to move back at all, leaving the sight range of several people.
"The space here can only move forward and not backward. I have studied the three major secret places, and this place is no exception. The only way is to move forward." Nessera said solemnly.
The other two were high-ranking wizards, so they naturally had their own self-confidence and pride, and soon calmed down.
"Let's keep going, maybe we can find some clues to get out of here." Nessera whispered.
The three of them continued to move toward the depths of the underground palace together.
*******************
In a dark space of the Wellington family
"They finally went in." The old shadow whispered. Withdrawing his hand from the side of the blood basin, there was a hint of fatigue in his voice.
"Is that Anil's Garden? The underground cemetery in Australia that has been said to move like a living thing?" The lazy woman's voice seemed to have finally gained a little interest.
"To be precise, that is the biggest secret of our family. Everyone knows that there is an Anil Garden in Australia, but no one knows that there is a passage leading to the second Anil Garden in our family's underground palace. "The third shadow, the neutral voice explained.
"The second one? You know it so well, have you ever gone in?" the lazy female voice asked curiously.
"No. Even the Patriarch has never gone in, don't mention me, the Patriarch once warned me strictly not to try to go in, otherwise it will be very troublesome."
"Even the Patriarch didn't go in?" The other two were surprised.
"To be precise, no one has ever gone in. The entrance to that passage has always been there, and I don't know what's inside. Even the head of the family just heard the precepts from the ancestors, so don't go in. No one knows The reason, anyway, has been passed down from generation to generation." The neutral voice explained. "So I don't know what's in it, so don't ask me."
At this time, the scene of several people from AG entering the underground palace is being replayed continuously in the blood basin.
Strangely, the entrance to the underground palace they entered was not the normal entrance of the family at all. The blood basin shows that the entrance of the family is still hidden underground and motionless, but the entrance hole activated by that prop emerges from nowhere.
Then I watched AG and others jump into the entrance of the underground palace one by one, and quickly disappeared.
Just after they all entered, the entrance gate of the burrow quickly changed from an old appearance to a brand new appearance. On the walls on both sides of the entrance, the mottled traces of time and the surface of some worn-out stone bricks have quietly faded away and turned into a brand new piece. The hound-like statues at the entrances on both sides have also been renewed. It suddenly changed from an unknown dilapidated entrance to the real entrance of the underground palace that the Wellington family is currently using.
"Every time I see this, I feel goosebumps all over my body!" The lazy female voice finally showed a trace of dignity. "Where did this entrance come from?"
"I don't know." The neutral voice replied, "I only know that the Patriarch activated something that I don't know, and then told me about the plan."
"They probably won't be able to come out again. Let's think about other things. One of the two senior elders of the other two families has fallen to us. This matter may be very troublesome!"
The old man said in a low voice, "How much benefit do we need to pay to satisfy the other party?"
"Most of the cores were extracted in advance. As long as the blood essence is enough, it can still be revived. It's not a big problem. It's just that it takes a certain amount of time to recover our strength. We may be bleeding." Lazy voice replied.
"Tu Lan, it may be your turn to negotiate with them this time. We were the ones who negotiated with them this time." The old voice suggested.
"I know, it's really annoying."
*******************
"There are words here." Manas said in a low voice, stroking the wall.
"What word?" Nessera stood up from the ground a little irritatedly.
"Everyone who enters the underground palace... will become the prey of the Deathstroke. This is an inescapable... curse." Manas whispered the writing on the wall.
"Playing tricks!" Nessera flicked the ashes on her fingers, just now she squatted down to check a certain scratch on the ground, but found nothing.
"Go ahead." She said coldly, seemingly calming down quickly, "It's best to find AG and Garen as soon as possible. The sudden appearance of this strange underground palace here is beyond our expectations."
The three of them continued to move forward along the passage. The fire seemed to be moving in the endless darkness. The passage in front became wider and wider, gradually forming a sloping slope downward.
Soon the three of them heard the slight sound of water coming from the bottom of the slope below.
"It's a river." Thousand-legged snake said in a low voice, holding a torch and walking over, taking a look at it from a distance, you can see a piece of sparkling light below, and there is a swift underground river at the bottom. The river was four or five meters wide, and it straddled in front of the three of them.
They had to cross the creek if they wanted to move on.
Looking to the left and right sides, there are blocked walls on the left and right sides, and there is a big hole at the bottom of the wall, and the river flows in and out from there.
A small river suddenly appeared in the passage. Nessera has a special energy-absorbing physique, which can nullify all extraordinary powers. At this time, she took the initiative to come out, walked quickly to the edge of the river below the slope, and gently scooped it up with her hands. A bucket of water.
The water was a little black, and even had a faint smell. Nessera threw it away immediately after smelling it.
"This water is poisonous, be careful." She stood up and looked at the rushing river in front of her.
The rung of the entire small river is in the middle of the channel, and it is seven or eight meters long from left to right.
Nessela took a slight step back, then jumped forward. The body immediately flew forward lightly, and landed on the opposite shore with a slap.
The two behind them also used their strength to jump over and landed firmly on the opposite shore.
Unlike the channel here, the opposite bank is a rough rocky ground without any man-made facilities.
