The Ancient Magical Emperors apparently didn't know how to effectively suppress the eldest son, because until they were all defeated, the eldest son was forced into a deep sleep under the effect of the safety device, and they had not really found a way to kill the primordial creature.As a result, after the eldest son fell asleep, the repression they took was basically a matter of luck: each Magic Emperor chose a different form of seal in the hope that they would work.The mountain barriers and lifeless rock giants of the Dragonspine Mountains have proven ineffective, and the Living Giant Tree is said to have withered long ago, and now the only seemingly functional and seemingly powerful seal is the Sunset Volcano.The volcano weighed down on the eldest son, and the werewolf witch king Sanur interspersed the various organs of the eldest son like steel nails crisscrossing the volcano.The world deep underground here is far more intricate than Beinz's, with deep rock fissures and lava lakes forming a fragile but stable balance, and as soon as the eldest son awakens, it will trigger the elemental flames of the sunset volcano, and then the entire area will collapse, and the eldest son will be pushed into the magma deep in the mantle.However, Sanur did not try to kill the sleeping eldest son directly in this way, indicating that he knew that simply pushing in the lava was not enough to kill the monster, which only caused it to wake up prematurely.So Hao Ren guessed that Sunset Volcano was still those "star allies" who were already destined to never come.After collecting tissue samples and signal frequencies from the holy coffin, Hao Ren decided to go deep into the sleeping place of the eldest son's body to see the situation.Beyond that, it was already a realm that ordinary people would never be able to set foot in, and even holding the amulet of the church could be affected by the dream of the eldest son at any time, so this time he only brought Vivien, Ophra and Archbishop Auburn.Everyone else remained in the cave and stood by.Originally, Betsy also wanted to follow: her professional habits as a mercenary made her feel that she should go deeper, and her mental strength was no less than that of a high-ranking knight or a monk, and she could move freely in the deep caves.But Hao Ren didn't feel the need to bring too many people, so he let her stay with Lily and the others.The four of them slipped through a large crack in the rock barrier into the sleeping chamber of one of the eldest sons, one of the "sarcomas", and then groped their way through the extensive cave system.The conditions in the deep cavern were several times worse than outside, with unbearable heat, a pungent smell of sulfur in the air, and apparently close to the magma column.And walking in it from time to time will "hear" some strange sounds, and some chaotic scenes always appear in my mind, which is the eldest son is dreaming, and the people who set foot in it are involuntarily affected."
This guy seems to be more 'mature' than the one in the Dragonspine Mountains, maybe he is already close to 'adulthood'," Hao Ren judged, "I remember that the eldest son of the Dragonspine Mountains is not as strong as this one here, and I only occasionally hear its voice." ”Ovra nodded: "For a long time, there have been rumors that there is a demon spirit of the Magic Emperor sleeping in the Sunset Volcano, and the soldiers of the Limestone Fortress often hear strange noises coming from the depths of the underground in their dreams, but they didn't expect it to be caused by the activities of the eldest son. ”After advancing for a long time, a huge underground rift appeared in front of the four of them.The black rift stretched to the end of the line of sight, and the exit of the cave where Hao Ren and the others were located was in the middle of the rift.Huge tentacles can be seen across the cliffs of the rift valley like bridges, and there is even a lava waterfall hanging down from the sky at the point of the rift valley, forming a blazing pillar of fire.The red glow from the magma illuminated the hellish underworld, and when Hao Ren looked up, he could only see a hazy shadow: it was a roof of more tentacles that held up the layers of rock above.The air was filled with an unbearable smell, and every breath was as hot as if it were about to set the entrails on fire.Vivien summoned a burst of frost that barely resisted the harsh air around her, and then released a small bat.The little bat circled around the opposite cliff a few times, and when it flew back, it was wilted like jerky.Vivian slapped the little bat into her body and frowned: "There is no road ahead, only a tentacle connects to a ramp on the opposite side like a bridge, but the road is very difficult to walk, and that tentacle is a little thin." ”"This is a place of malice," Archbishop Auburn took a deep breath, the runes on his skin glistening, "and there was hostility in the air. ”"There's no need to go deeper, this is roughly the core area," Hao Ren shook his head and released the data terminal, "How is the structure map scanned?"
”"Complete," the computer projected a complex scan of the subterranean world, showing an ellipsoidal area of lava, rifts, tentacles, caverns, and strange chunks of biological tissue, twisted and grotesque like a nightmare, "We'd better go back and think about a safe course of action." ”Hao Ren sighed: "Withdraw." ”The expedition team returned to the limestone fortress and then teleported directly back to the royal capital.They didn't go to the Tree of Life, because the situation of the Tree of Life was not complicated, and it was much easier to solve than the Sunset Volcano.And in one of Hao Ren's action plans, as long as the Sunset Volcano can be solved, of course, Hao Ren still asked for some materials from Ofhra for reference, which is the structural diagram that the monks of the Radiant Sect have discovered under the Giant Tree of Life in the past two months, as well as historical documents about the giant tree.It doesn't matter if you don't use it......
There's never too much information anyway.The other ministers and bishops returned to their respective places, each with their own situation to report to their boss, while Ophra returned to Betsy's manor with Hao Ren.The marshal looked a little worried: "How can I report?"
”"Let the king relax, I have a way," Hao Ren said confidently, "In fact, I had a few plans when I was in the cave......
It's just that any option has some risks, and the situation of Sunset Volcano is complicated, and I have to prevent those magma from erupting. ”"Let's go back and study it, and come back as soon as we have the results, and the next time we come back, the problem of the eldest son on this planet should be completely solved," Lily also looked like an expert next to Hao Ren, "Anyway, the landlord must have a way, he is high-tech." ”"You're leaving?"
Ophra glanced at the group, and finally her gaze fell on Betsy, "She stayed?"
”"She can't bear to have the manor property here," Hao Ren shrugged, "but for us, traveling through time and space is not much different from going out to get soy sauce."
Anyway, Betsy bothered you to take care of it while we weren't there, you know this girl has a bit of a ...... brain," he glared at Becky before he could finish speaking, and Lily next to her immediately raised her tail and let out a threatening sound of Ulu Ulu in her throat.Hao Ren looked at Lily with a smile: "I didn't say you ...... this time" Lily gritted her teeth: "But I know that you will definitely use me as an example in your next sentence!"
Who doesn't know your mouth, a dog can't spit out ivory in his mouth......"
There was silence around them, and Vivien patted Lily on the shoulder: "You can count it as spitting out an ivory." ”Lily hadn't reacted yet: "Wang?
”Hao Ren pinched Lily's ears and looked at Aufra with a smile: "In addition, about that evil.
I would like to ask you to help keep an eye on the Order's affairs.I heard that I haven't found any clues about them yet?
”"They're a loose order, most likely a dozen small gangs put together," Opra shook her head, "I'm sure they're still operating in some areas, but they've never been able to catch anyone." ”"I'll leave some alive when I find it," Hao Ren nodded, "I'm going to study the kind of giant brain they summoned." ”"Also, remember to pass that letter on to the Pope and the King," Vivien reminded her, "and that is the real reason we know about the death of the eldest son—the Black Cauldron that the Magic Emperors have carried for 10,000 years, and now you want to wash them."
Believe it or not, the Magic Emperors are indeed innocent. ”Ophora nodded slightly: "I understand." ”Aufra was smart enough to say goodbye to Hao Ren before they could take the initiative to send them off, leaving Hao Ren and them to say goodbye to Betsy.The mercenary girl was still a little reluctant to her friends at this time, after all, they had lived together for so long, even the greedy mercenary had feelings: "You have to come to see me often, even after the matter of the eldest son is settled, you will also come - in addition, if there are any exciting and interesting things in the future, you will also have to take me, and I still want to go on an adventure in a spaceship!"
In addition, bring me some potato chips and Coke next time you come......"
Hao Ren saw that this girl rarely showed such a look, and suddenly felt very interesting: "Since you are so reluctant, then just go back to Earth with us." ”Betsy jumped more than a meter after a while, hugging the door post and not letting go: "Be careful on the road, pay attention to safety, have a good journey, and don't send it away - it's better for me to be a local tyrant here." ”Hao Ren: "......"
Everyone left Betsy's manor, and Vivien asked, "Shall we go directly from the Allamanda portal back to André's Castle?"
Go in a spaceship or teleport over?
”"No, there's one more thing," Hao Ren looked up at the sky slightly, "there's a more important ruin to be seen." ”(To be continued.) )
