"Is this... safe?" Hao Ren finally got his breath out after panting for a long time, and then looked at the quiet rock hall with disbelief. All the undead knights who chased them were blocked on the opposite side. Although those knight armors were amazingly powerful, they were not at the level of Lily's ability to open mountains and crack rocks with bare hands. In addition, they were made of metal with limited strength. made, so it probably won't be possible to dig out the rubble—at least not for a short time.
It seems that I can take a little breath and sort out the current situation.
"Probably...not yet," Vivienne closed her eyes slightly to feel the energy flow of the entire underground palace, "the aura of undead spirits is everywhere, but for some reason there is no movement for a while, only a small part of them were chasing us just now... "
"Fuck, a small part?!" Hao Ren was taken aback, "What did the lord here plan to do back then?"
At this time, Lily was lying on the side of the pile of armor fragments that had been completely shattered, rummaging through them with the exuberant curiosity that a canine should have, and then suddenly smashed and deformed in one piece. Something strange was found on the breastplate fragment: "Hey, bat, come and see what this is? Is it also a Leta rune?" The big dog and the bat, it seems that they don't plan to be good in this life. Call each other's name.
Vivienne kicked Lily's leg in the past to protest, then bent down to pick up the pieces of the breastplate, and sure enough, she found crooked lines on the surface of the silver-white metal plate, but the breastplate was severely damaged , the runes on it are incomplete: "Look for other fragments with runes, these things... should be able to be deciphered."
"I'll help too." Hao Ren greeted from the side, and together with Lily, they rummaged through the armor wreckage all over the floor. Most of these fragments were hardened by Vivian's extreme cold of tens of degrees below zero. It was frozen and shattered, so there were basically no complete pieces of metal, but after searching for a while, Hao Ren still found something: it seemed that every undead knight had runes on them.
Moreover, all the runes are engraved in the same place, and there is no difference in their size and form. It seems that all knight armors are "mass-produced".
"I found it!" Lily was the first to find the complete armor piece, and the wolf girl handed a metal plate about one foot square to Vivienne, who immediately translated the runes on it: "... the warden of the devil's secret room , the guardian, the sleepless warrior... contracted to guard the power of the demons, expel the intruders... do not enter the devil's secret chamber... it is a rune that takes effect at the same time as the contract and the infusion." Hao Ren raised his head and said, "What do you mean?"
"It seems that we made a mistake." Vivienne's face turned subtle. "At first we thought that the sealing system in the underground palace was to suppress the undead down here, and thought that these knight spirits were the targets of suppression. In fact, the situation Quite the opposite: these knights are also part of the defense system of the dungeon, they are the guards here, and there is something else that is really suppressed."
Hao Ren looked down at a piece of metal in his hand. In fact, he had already guessed this point: These armors buried in the underground palace were obviously well-arranged. The troops were complete and well-equipped, and they didn't look like they were suppressed. Subject, it makes perfect sense to say that they are the guards of the dungeon. And since these undead are not the targets of suppression, then what this underground palace is really suppressing...
"Demon?" Hao Ren heard Vivienne mention the word when she interpreted the rune just now, "This... this is not fun! Don't tell me that this place suppresses demons—there are such creatures on Earth ?”
"Even vampires like me and Lily... well, there are werewolves, why can't there be demons?" Vivienne threw the armor fragments on the ground, corroded them with blood mist, and her voice sounded serious, " It’s just that your human myths and legends have many mistakes, omissions and mistakes, and many powerful violent monsters are classified as ‘demons’, so I’m not sure that the ‘demons’ mentioned in these runes are real. The Demon Race or something else, if it’s a fake, it’s okay to say, if it’s real...it’s going to be a big trouble.”…
After pondering for a while, Vivienne added: "According to the professionalism of the runes on the stone wall before, nine out of ten people who arranged the underground palace were demon hunters. Demon hunters are experts, and they will not mistake the classification... Here are ten Eighty-nine are suppressing the real thing."
Hao Ren's face twitched suddenly: "You might as well stop adding the last sentence!"
Vivienne didn't care about Hao Ren's complaints. She just searched more carefully for the remaining runes on the armor fragments, hoping to use these guards to judge the situation of the evil thing they suppressed, while Lily was a little worried : "Are we beating up the guards used to suppress the demons in the underground palace? Isn't that the same as releasing the demons? We... Did we do something bad?"
It is a great fortune for the world to have such a kind-hearted werewolf girl, Hao Ren patted Lily on the shoulder: "It's okay, the data terminal said just now, the seal of the underground palace has long passed the expiration date, and the remaining tin cans can't hold it back." If we live in a place, we can at most count as helping the evildoers..."
"It doesn't have to be the devil's body, the rune says it's the devil's stone," Vivienne picked up another armor fragment, "the leg armor, there is another part of the rune on it, it is mentioned that there is a devil in the underground palace." In the Chamber of Secrets, where the Demon Stone is stored instead of the Demon itself, the situation would not be so bad if it was just a stone."
Hao Ren felt like he was listening to a scripture: "What is the Devil's Stone?"
"Demons are good at power in space. The devil stone is their locator for teleportation, and it is also the remote medium they use when they corrupt the world, just like the clone of the devil power. The material of the devil stone is very special, even if the demon hunter It is very difficult to destroy them, so the usual way to deal with them is to suppress them, and after hundreds of years of suppression, they are basically safe.”
"Oh, the power of the Devil's Stone will be exhausted in a few hundred years, right?" Hao Ren said as a matter of course.
"No, it's just that you can't get in touch for hundreds of years, and the devil usually replaces it with a new one—you lost your phone for two months and couldn't get through, so why don't you just get a new one?"
Hao Ren: "..." This explanation is quite reasonable, but why does he just feel that a slot is stuck in his throat and he can't get it up or down!
"In other words, the demon stone in the dungeon is still there, and it can still be used," Lily swallowed, she was a little bit stupid, but she was not stupid, "I can only hope that the demon behind it has changed. Xinhao, if the movement in the underground palace stimulates the Devil's Stone..."
Vivienne thought for a while: "Nine times out of ten, I will come over to check the situation. Even if you lost your mobile phone number for two years and suddenly sent a text message, you still have to remember it. Devils have always had a good memory. "
Hao Ren pressed his temples hard: "The most important point: Can the two of you defeat a demon?"
"I don't know," Vivienne said with a slightly embarrassed expression, "Theoretically, we are all 'heterogeneous' at the same level, and there are also types of demons that are not strong in combat, but you don't know that I have always been a peaceful faction. The biggest battle I participated in was when I was dying of poverty, I helped the Trojans fight the Greeks for five years, and I helped the Greeks fight the Trojans for five years... "
Hao Ren: "..." In this situation, he no longer has the energy to complain about Vivienne's magnificent dark history.
At this time, Lily finally had an idea, and she suddenly realized something: "By the way, Bat, you just said that the rune says: Guards are not allowed to enter the devil's chamber. What does that mean?"
"Although the undead guards are easy to use, the techniques they use come from demons, so they can only be used to guard the surroundings of the underground palace, and they cannot be too close to the secret room where the demon stone is stored."
"Then do you feel that this hall...doesn't have a single guard?"
Lily's voice fell, and there was silence in the hall.
All three of them felt a gust of cold air blowing from all directions. Hao Ren carefully looked around the entire stone room, and asked with a bitter face, "Vivian, what does the Devil's Stone look like?"
The vampire girl recalled: "Basically, they are irregular slender black crystals, ranging from half a meter to one meter long. They look like smoked glass, and the tip will be a little red..."
Hao Ren was about to burst into tears: "...is that the one hanging from the roof?"
