Chapter 215
"Who are you?" Dentures asked.

There was a moment of silence on the other side, and a series of words suddenly burst out:

"Hahaha! Why do you know human language?"

"—are you a human being?"

"Dog, come and save me, if you save me, I will do my best to help you get out of here."

"By the way, who am I?"

The voice on the other side became tense:
"We can't talk about this question. If we talk about it, my enemies will search for it."

"Come and find me quickly."

"Please, come and save me!"

Huoya put his ears to the back of his head, and narrowed his eyes by the way.

——The other party is too noisy.

As a dog with good hearing, it was a bit overwhelming.

But Huo Ya still opened his mouth dedicatedly, waiting for Dentures to make a decision.

It didn't take long.

The dentures spoke:
"You should have seen it too, I don't need your help to get out of here."

"If you want me to save you..."

"At least show some real sincerity."

The voice asked:

"What do you want, dog?"

False teeth said: "I don't know what I want, but if I don't see your sincerity, I will leave this city in 3 minutes."

The voice was not angry, but said with a smile: "What a smart dog, the smarter you are, the more confident I am, so let's do it—"

A blank card appeared quietly and landed on the ground in front of Huo Ya.

Fire Fang looked down.

I saw lines of small characters quickly appearing on the card:

"Eternal Night Contract."

"1. Both parties shall never attack each other;"

"2. Both parties must try their best to escape from this place together;"

"3. When the proposer of the contract is successfully rescued, he will do his best to give the rescuer a reasonable reward."

Huo Ya read it quickly, but didn't respond.

Is the other party sincere enough?
——Only the master can judge this kind of thing.

It squatted in place and waited quietly.

Take a breath.

Two breaths.

Three breaths.

Huoya got the answer.

It opened its mouth, bent down, put the card in its mouth, and bit it lightly with its dentures.

Bang!
The card disappears.

——The contract is established!

The voice sounded immediately:

"Hurry up, the magic ants are trying to break the seal, you must enter the palace before them!"

"Imperial Palace?" Huoya said in a human voice, "Hasn't the Imperial Palace been occupied by them yet?"

"The devils just left, so they only had time to occupy the city, and they haven't completely captured the palace yet!" said the voice.

Huo Ya got up and turned around, looking in the direction of the palace from the tower.

I saw ants around the palace piled up like a mountain, but they couldn't enter it as if they were blocked by some invisible thing.

Only a few ants could pass through the transparent barrier and wander aimlessly in the palace.

Huo Ya tilted the dog's head, looked at it carefully for a while, and opened his mouth to call:
"Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"

"Do you know the layout of this palace?" Dentures asked in surprise.

Huo Ya nodded, then shook his head and said, "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"

"You said that in such a noble place, there must be small doors specially reserved for all kinds of pets to enter and exit?"

"Wang!"

"Then hurry up, let's go!"

Huoya ran down the steps, and soon left the tower.

The streets are full of magic ants.

Huoya kept his mouth open, letting that false tooth keep reciting knowledge about ants.

All the magic ants stopped in place and listened quietly.

This place is already very close to the imperial palace, and the size and strength of the magic ants are completely different from those on the streets outside.

There is a kind of magic ant that exudes a faint mist full of corrosive power, so that Fire Fang can't get close at all, and can only keep detours.

It took three hours and finally found a place in front of a palace wall.

——It was a hole half the height of a person.

A group of smaller magic ants were stuck here, trying to pass through the hole, but every time they approached, they were pushed out by an invisible force.

Huoya burrowed under the long limbs of the magic ants, came to the hole, and let out a series of barking sounds.

—this time it was its own voice.

A line of small characters quickly appeared in the void:
"You have cast the spell of your familiar, which allows you to pass through this hole."

Huo Ya turned his head and glanced at those magic ants, with a look of disdain in his eyes.

——They can’t even enter the special passage for advanced pets. These creatures of Evernight are really a bunch of bumpkins.

It turned around and got into the hole with its head held high.

Pass through a passage that is not too long, and it is very narrow at the beginning, so you can pass through the dog.Go back dozens of steps, suddenly see the light.

- Already entered the palace!

The voice sounded immediately: "Great, you're here! Come to the southeast, there's a vacant side hall here, I'll wait for you here!"

Huoya figured out the direction, ran quickly, and soon passed through row upon row of gorgeous buildings, and arrived at the side hall in the southeast direction.

The door of the side hall was wide open, and there were various boxes and utensils inside, all of which were empty.

"Wow - ouch -" Huo Ya whispered.

"Is it the treasure room... I know." Dentures also whispered.

Huo Ya rushed into the hall at once, and ran back and forth in the hall.

— and found nothing.

"Oh?" Huo Ya questioned.

The voice said again: "Well, you must find me—I can go with you."

"Woo! Aww! Aww!" Huo Ya roared angrily.

The voice said helplessly: "I know it's not the time to hide and seek, but you must find me before I can show up—this is the rule of the mysterious side, and I can't help it."

"Oh?" Huoya asked in surprise.

"Yes, I have been hiding here for a long time, even the devils don't know my existence, but as soon as they left yesterday, all kinds of concealment measures shrouded in the palace were revoked - my enemies immediately sensed me, It's here to kill me!" the voice said bitterly.

"If I take you away, won't your enemies be able to sense you all the way? Then we won't be able to escape." Dentures said.

"No - it is very difficult for it to sense me once, at least it is unlikely in the near future." The voice said.

It suddenly became anxious and urged: "Find me quickly! The magic ants are about to break through the defense of the palace!"

Huoya panicked.

It ran around the entire side hall again, but still didn't find anything, so it simply found a high place, jumped on it, grinned wide, and spun around on the spot.

In this way, that denture can see the situation in the entire hall.

—but dentures don’t gain anything either.

The entire hall was in a mess, and no valuable clues could be found at all.

The voice suddenly said "Huh".

"Doggie, you have a tooth in your mouth—how can this tooth have the name of a polymath?"

"Aww!" Huo Ya said solemnly.

"Is it your master? Tsk tsk tsk, actually, I can't read people's names, but this name has some affinity with me, so I can find it." The voice said in an erratic tone.

There was a silence all around.

False Tooth suddenly said: "So that's it, Huo Ya, look for it immediately to see if there are any books or the like in this hall."

"Wang!"

Huoya cheered up, jumped down from a high place, and searched around again.

Not in the box.

Not in the container.

Not on the shelf either.

Everywhere is empty, let alone books, there is not even a hair.

boom--

Suddenly there was a violent tremor outside.

The defense of the palace has been breached!
"Wang Wang Wang-"

Huoya became anxious.

In its limited dog life, it has never encountered such an urgent and unsolvable matter.

At this time, the dentures calmed down, and said slowly: "Don't worry, Huo Ya, the places you have looked for are all right, think about it again, there are other places you haven't looked for."

Huo Ya was stunned for a moment, then suddenly raised his head.

I saw gorgeous chandeliers hanging above the main hall.

Is it...

Huoya charged and jumped to his feet.

It's a pity that those chandeliers are too high, even if Huo Ya tried his best, he couldn't see what was on the chandeliers.

"It's over, dog, we're too late."

The voice regretted.

I saw a few magic ants appearing at the door of this side hall——

In the blink of an eye, a false tooth fell out of the mouth of the level 3 pastoral dog.

It turned into a silhouette soaring into the sky, and landed lightly on a chandelier.

Liu Ping.

Liu Ping looked around, and immediately saw something on another chandelier not far away.

"Libertas!"

He drew a card and shouted.

bang——

Holding a dagger and a dagger, Libertas flew down, kicked the magic ants out of the door, and shouted:

"Quick, I can't last long!"

He untied a few bombs from his waist, threw them with all his strength, and then slammed the door shut.

boom!
There was a deafening explosion outside.

Although this successfully blocked the magic ants, it also attracted more magic ants.

——It’s really running out of time!
Liu Ping jumped, landed on the piece of chandelier, and quickly inspected it.

There are clusters of chandeliers here, which are really beautiful, and there seems to be something on one of them.

——It was a girl the size of a palm.

She has a pair of deep black pupils and ponytails, making her look playful and cute.

In this desperate moment, she clutches the chain of the chandelier with one hand and wipes away tears with the other, as if grieving her impending fate.

When Liu Ping squatted in front of her, she raised her head blankly.

"Huh? You found me!"

The girl laughed through her tears and stood up happily.

"Yes, I found you—quick, we have to escape immediately." Liu Ping urged.

"Ah, okay."

The girl stood up, saluted seriously, and said:

"Hi, first time meeting, I'm Lilith."

Liu Ping looked at her, only to see a line of small characters appear above her head:
"The Idol of the Dead, Book Spirit, Lilith."
