Chapter 501: Chapter 501
"So, which way are we going later?"
Tian Ci asked Dongfang Jing who was walking towards him.
Dongfang Jing walked towards the wooden house on her own, and everyone followed her inside.
In this huge wooden house, many alchemical materials that might have been meddled by Farrell before his death were displayed, making the place appear chaotic, almost with no place to set foot.
It was as if Dongfang Jing was very familiar with the place. As soon as she entered, she walked straight to Farrell’s workbench, and then bent down to trigger some mechanism below it.
With the sound of mechanical gears rolling, a secret path leading underground suddenly appeared beneath the stairs to the second floor.
Everyone was taken aback when they saw this:
"Without a mirror, just finding this secret path would have taken quite a bit of time."
After the secret path appeared, as Lin Yi was about to have Tian Ci and Red Eyes scout ahead, Dongfang Jing proactively said:
"Let me lead the way here."
No one had any objection to this, but Lin Yi still instructed Tian Ci and Red Eyes:
"You two stay behind her, just in case."
The two nodded and entered stealth one after the other, following Dongfang Jing into the secret passage.
Next, Lin Yi and the others followed, with Stable as a Mountain holding a shield at the back.
Just as everyone entered the secret path, the wooden board at the exit was suddenly closed, instantly extinguishing the only source of light, plunging the surroundings into pitch darkness.
At the same time, a gigantic toad appeared at the entrance of the passage, speaking in human language:
"I seem to smell someone familiar, is it you?"
Inside the secret path, everyone moved carefully in the dark. Lin Yi immediately held Zhang Xinying’s hand:
Zhang Xinying only symbolically struggled a bit at Lin Yi’s sudden action, allowing him to hold her hand:
A blush appeared on her face, but due to the darkness, no one noticed.
Behind them, Handsome Fragile held Wang Zixin:
"Come, your handsome brother will protect you."
Wang Zixin sweetly said:
"Thank you, handsome brother."
The group walked about ten meters, arriving at a large cavern and an underground river at the exit.
The stalactites above the cavern kept dripping water, clearly audible in the silent space.
There were three paths in front of them, one being a simple stone ’bridge’ across the underground river.
The other two led to the left and right, each path extended into the unknown depths. Dongfang Jing without hesitation chose the left one:
In the cavern, some stones were emitting a faint glow, creating a beautiful scene while providing some light, preventing total darkness.
During this time, Zhang Xinying wanted to pull her hand back to walk on her own, but Lin Yi tightened his grip, causing Zhang Xinying to roll her eyes.
Lin Yi, walking ahead, had a satisfied look on his face, secretly amused.
The group followed the underground river for nearly ten minutes, encountering several branches along the way, leaving the river far behind, indicating this was a man-made tunnel.
After walking another three or four minutes, they saw a cluster of dark red flames from a distance, along with a stone door covered in mysterious runes.
The group stopped in front of the stone door, and Zhang Xinying broke free from Lin Yi’s hand to reach for Wang Zixin.
Handsome Fragile looked at the runes on the stone door, recalling something.
He walked forward in shock, touching the profound runes on the stone door, and said to Lin Yi:
"These patterns look like the ones from the spirit summoning technique array you use."
Lin Yi pretended to be surprised:
"Now that you mention it, they do seem a bit similar!"
Then Tian Ci appeared, pushing the stone door, but it didn’t budge:
This stone door seemed very smooth, with no holes or handles.
Everyone searched around but found no mechanism, having no way to start.
When everyone turned to Dongfang Jing, Lin Yi noticed something on the stone door:
The array patterns should be continuous, but there were apparent flaws, with five gaps. Lin Yi instinctively used his hand to fill in the gaps with his fingers.
With one finger filling each point, the patterns on the stone door suddenly lit up.
Everyone was dumbfounded:
"Is that possible?" Thɪs chapter is updated by novel·fire.net
Following a thunderous rumble, the stone door slowly opened.
"Amazing design, adding such a feature,"
Handsome Fragile exclaimed in amazement, while Dongfang Jing’s eyes showed a hint of sadness.
Once everyone entered through the stone door, they discovered a massive underground palace embedded within the earth, looking quite awe-inspiring.
In front of this nearly eight-meter-tall palace was a vast, open platform, at least seven or eight meters in diameter.
On the side of the platform, a stunning woman in red silk looked at everyone with a charming smile:
"You finally came, Chosen Ones."
Illusionist/Golden BOSS
Life Value: 2800000/2800000
At that moment, Dongfang Jing stared blankly at the enchanting figure, instinctively calling out:
Katrina, hearing someone call her, instinctively looked at Dongfang Jing.
At the moment their eyes met, Katrina suddenly stood up from her chair, her face changing dramatically:
A powerful aura suddenly burst from her, shattering the chair behind her into fragments on the ground.
Tian Ci and the others were startled, stepping back:
"What the hell is this?"
Then everyone noticed Dongfang Jing’s mouth moving, but they couldn’t hear any sound.
Katrina’s aura subsided, returning to its original state.
However, she looked at Lin Yi with an incredibly strange look, making Lin Yi’s hair stand on end.
Handsome Fragile watched the trio, or rather, two people and a Dungeon BOSS, utterly confused:
Beside him, Tian Ci was also puzzled:
"How would I know, I don’t understand lip-reading."
Instead, the Werewolf Prophet Yidra beside Zhang Xinying stroked his beard with a chuckle:
"I see, I see, hehehe~"
Zhang Xinying curiously looked at Yidra, but Yidra shook his head like an old sage:
"Cannot be said, cannot be said."
Among them, only Zhan Chen had a subtle expression, his eyes darting between Dongfang Jing and Lin Yi.
This situation continued for a while, and then Katrina’s expression shifted to a teasing look at Lin Yi:
"Are you the successor of that fool Carl?"
Lin Yi was utterly confused; what did he just hear?
She called the God Carl a fool!
She was the strongest God in the history of Rafam Continent!
And Katrina called her a fool?!
Dongfang Jing’s face darkened, but Katrina didn’t care, beckoning to Lin Yi:
"Come, let me see the strength of the successor."
Lin Yi dumbfoundedly pointed at himself, uncertain:
"You mean me? Alone?"
"Yes, just you, alone!"
Suddenly, a strong aura burst again from Katrina, making her red silk ripple wildly.
Lin Yi looked around, watching Tian Ci and the others quickly retreat, Handsome Fragile saying:
"Boss, go on, we all support you to take her down."
"Yes, I believe Boss can knock her down."
Although everyone was uncertain about the situation, they sensed the BOSS had no hostility, hence their eager expressions waiting to watch the show.
In the end, Lin Yi could only direct his helpless gaze at Zhang Xinying:
"Maybe, give me a buff?"
