Chapter 146: The Labyrinth The airship found the Pyro-Worship camp according to the location given by Vikna, the large area of the military camp looked like it had been through many battles from the sky, some of the holes in the tents were obviously scars from the sword, and there were many red, black, and green blood on the sand that had not had time to be cleaned up.
After Zhao Yannian and Victor got off the airship, they were soon led by the soldiers to the camp of the Duke of Adra.
"Count Rodnik!?
How did you come here?
"Duke Adela had seen Zhao Yannian a few days ago, but he didn't expect a lord from the Northwest Regions to appear in the desert.
"Duke Adela is glad to see you here, here's the thing, a friend of mine is in the executioner army, and this time the ruins of the nobles were found by the team led by my friend, but there is news that the whole team disappeared after they found the ruins, so I rushed over immediately after receiving this news to look for his traces."
After Zhao Yannian saluted Duke Adela and the Duke of Adela and the Deputy Commander of the Penn Legion sitting beside him, he told the story of the incident.
"Count Rodnik, the friendship between you and your friend is truly awe-inspiring, but we have sent troops to search all the places in this vicinity, and it is likely that your friend and his subordinates have befallen misfortune."
Duke Adela said to Zhao Yannian with an embarrassed expression.
Payne, who was sitting next to Duke Adra, was visibly displeased after hearing Duke Adra's words.
Payne's expression Zhao Yannian could naturally see it, so Zhao Yannian immediately guessed that the duke didn't seem to want Zhao Yannian to search, and the biggest possibility in this situation was that Duke Adela didn't want Zhao Yannian to touch the things in that ruin.
"Your Excellency, in fact, according to the information we received, the soldiers who found that the team missing the next day found no signs of battle, and we deduce that my friend may have touched the mechanism of the ruins and was trapped somewhere in the ruins."
Zhao Yannian almost made it clear when he said this, if Duke Adela kept it secret, then the two would probably have a grudge.
"But......"
Duke Adela suddenly hesitated when he heard Zhao Yannian's tough words.
"Ahem, Vic didn't expect you to come too, and you're friends with Austin too?"
Deputy Commander Payne suddenly interjected at this time and asked Vicna, who was standing behind Zhao Yannian.
"Uncle Payne, Austin has saved my life on the battlefield a few times."
With that, Vikna turned his gaze to the Duke of Adra.
"Your Excellency, have you known me after a few years?"
Vikna asked after saluting Duke Adra.
"You are?"
Duke Adela took a closer look at Vikna, but was still a little unsure.
"I'm Vikna Gray, the third son of the Gray family, and my teacher is Buck, the Flame Magister."
Vic didn't sell it, and said his identity bluntly.
"Hiss......"
Hearing this, Duke Adela gasped, the young magician in front of him turned out to be a close person of the two legendary powerhouses, and the Gray family was also a member of the Supreme Council.
"It turned out to be Little Vikna, the last time I saw you was ten years ago when you advanced to a junior magician, Count Rodnik, please don't mind, the reason why this is like this just now is because that ruin is a sacred relic left by the sages of our clan, if I let outsiders in casually, my situation in the clan will become very passive."
Duke Adela shook his beard and said with a guilty expression, because of the color of his skin, the duke's face seemed to be a little purple.
"We are only entering this time to find people, we will not take one of the items in the noble ruins, if necessary, we can bring the nobles' sacrifices to enter together."
Zhao Yannian lowered his posture and asked again.
"It's not good for the Earl to be so reasonable, I'm going to arrange for someone to follow, and you can enter the ruins at any time."
Duke Adela reluctantly agreed to the group's request under the steps given by Zhao Yannian, and soon a fire worshipper priest appeared in the tent, and after introducing each other, Zhao Yannian organized the people who remained on the airship to enter the ruins.
"Your Excellency, these warriors of yours are truly elite."
The priest in charge of monitoring Zhao Yannian's party was heartily amazed when he saw those zealot warriors who looked like moving metal piers, but then the blade dancer priests who came down from the airship just glanced at their exposed service and skipped directly.
"Lord Chehir, you've won the prize."
Zhao Yannian didn't plan to have anything close to the sacrificial set, because this time he was going to find the key that was said to be extremely hard while rescuing Austin, and he didn't think that the set would allow him to take the key.
The priest named Chihir just nodded after hearing Zhao Yannian's words, and then turned around and left to gather his team.
Zhao Yannian entered the underground this time, a total of exactly thirty people, plus the fire worship clan sacrifice Qihir is thirty-one people.
After the team was assembled, everyone came to the stone gate together, and Qihir opened his mouth at this time to introduce the situation inside the stone gate to Zhao Yannian.
"According to our exploration, this underground labyrinth is very huge, there are many teleportation points that can enter and exit, and the location of this door teleportation will change every once in a while, but you can return here at any time through the teleportation point, sometimes we will face just an ordinary maze when we enter, and sometimes after entering, it will be like entering the lair of Warcraft will encounter all kinds of ferocious Warcraft, so please be prepared for battle before entering."
After listening to the words of the Qihir sacrifice, Zhao Yannian immediately ordered everyone to be on guard, and then the group of people who opened the way by the fanatics carefully stepped into the stone gate that had been kept open.
After passing through the light and feeling a familiar feeling of vertigo, when Zhao Yannian opened his eyes again, he was already in a labyrinth, and the fanatics who entered first were guarding around with the weapons in their hands, but the surroundings seemed to be safe, and the dark elves who entered one after another also immediately guarded Zhao Yannian's side after getting rid of the vertigo.
"You're going to be blessed."
After Vikena teleported, he saw Zhao Yannian, who was surrounded by a group of bewitching women, whistled and said.

"Vikna!
As your fiancée, I can't allow you to learn from such a guy anymore.
Joan of Arc, who came in closely, twisted the ears of Vicna, who was looking at the dark elves in a daze, and then glared at Zhao Yannian fiercely.
"Hey, don't wronged the good guys, the bad student in your family didn't learn from me, he has been a mercenary mage for several years."
Zhao Yannian complained to Joan of Arc with an innocent look.
"But I've never heard of mercenaries using magic potions to harm people."
Joan of Arc looked at Zhao Yannian as if he was a thief.
"That bottle of medicine isn't for you to drink, but I can't explain it anyway."
Thinking that if he opened his mouth to explain, he would be involved in more messy things, Zhao Yannian could only shrug his shoulders helplessly, and no longer paid attention to the awkward unmarried couple, but began to concentrate on studying the surrounding environment.
"I didn't expect it to be a labyrinth here."
Touching the ancient-looking walls around it, and looking at the few black passages without any signs, this underground labyrinth is as standard as it is described in a knight's novel.
"Brunette, is that stinky boy of mine trapped here?"
A loud voice came from behind Zhao Yannian, and Bob Fury and Luna also teleported in at this time.
"I don't know how they got here before the portal was excavated, but they must have been here."
Zhao Yannian pushed his glasses and said affirmatively to the old barbarian whose beard had turned gray.
"Oh?
How do you know for sure?
Bob was very surprised to hear Zhao Yannian's answer so affirmatively.
"Look there."
Zhao Yannian stretched out his hand and pointed to a passage not far from the teleportation array, where the magic light shone, some black metal scales were inserted in the masonry gap of the wall on the side of the passage.
It was not uncommon for a metal scale to stick to the wall, but if it was a lot of brand new metal scales with almost no rust in an orderly manner in a dungeon that no one had visited for thousands of years.
The only possibility, then, is that someone is using the metal flakes as a signpost.
And Austin's choice to leave this teleportation point to explore the labyrinth is also very easy to explain, after all, they were inexplicably teleported in, and then the teleportation array was not activated for a few days, in order to find a way out and food, these soldiers will inevitably choose to explore this labyrinth, so these scale armor pieces left in order to record the direction are easy to explain.
"We seem so lucky, don't we?"
After listening to Zhao Yannian's explanation, Bob said a little incredulously.
"I've always been so lucky."
Zhao Yannian smiled and beckoned everyone to gather, and then explored along the road signs left by Austin under the escort of his own soldiers.
Deep in the labyrinth, Austin was shirtless slicing through pieces of flesh from a massive maggot-like bug, while the soldiers around him watched with disgust as puffs of yellow-green juice erupted as axes slashed.
"See, this thing has no toxins, and it is rich in protein, as long as the head is cut off, you can eat it raw, and it is said that it tastes similar to chicken."
Austin approached the soldiers with the white pieces of flesh and presented them to him as a TV commercial host.
"Vomit~" The soldiers finally couldn't help but spit out when they saw the fresh piece of meat in Austin's hand that seemed to be still twitching.
"Hey!
You don't give me face, why don't you take a bite and taste it!
Austin grumbled to his men as he shoved the pieces of meat into his mouth and munched on them.
"Sure enough, it smelled of chicken, crunchy."
Austin, with his mouth full of oil, muttered to himself.
