Tianjin people will never lose SAN

Chapter 482: Enemies don’t get together

Grand Duke Zahir really wanted to kill him.

In terms of ruthlessness and decisiveness, he indeed exceeded Liu Yonglu's imagination. At the same time, Grand Duke Zahir also had the capital to do things to the extreme.

Lewis and Token before, although they were cruel, they were just evil cult leaders who dominated a certain area after all.

Although Aksomama and the Holy See's Bishop of Lorraine are powerful, they are a bit overconfident and cautious.

The only person who really wants to kill someone is Grand Duke Zahir, and he has the ability to do so.

In his opinion, Ricky was difficult to control. The people he brought with him this time were both his relatives and mysterious scholars who were well versed in ancient books, and it was obvious that he came prepared.

And he seemed to have noticed that something was wrong with Soraya, so he made excuses and refused to move forward with the engagement.

If this kind of person cannot be used for one's own benefit, then he must not be kept. According to his plan, he will take Liu Yonglu to see the stone slab today. If he is sensible, he will let himself be kept as a hostage and let him do whatever he wants.

If he doesn't know what's best for him, he wouldn't mind using the stone slate to create another obedient "Ricky".

From the moment he planned to take Liu Yonglu to see the stone slab, Zahir had sentenced Liu Yonglu to death in his heart.

Thinking of this, Grand Duke Zahir on the camel turned his head to look at the cart following the soldiers, and then looked at Liu Yonglu.

As for Liu Yonglu... he was also anxious now. He could only hope that Mi Li'er and Yasmine would have finished exploring the cave and come out quickly.

If he hadn't come out, Liu Yonglu would have turned around and just happened to make eye contact with Zahir.

You old bastard, you're going to be in trouble today. Liu Yonglu has also thought about how it will end if he kills you later.

Mi Li'er, what's going on over there now?
……

At this time in the dungeon, Millie Tang and Yasmine were holding torches and hesitating in front of a huge stone door, wondering whether to leave or try again.

This cave was indeed hard to find. After entering, Millie Tang felt relieved. From the outside, the cave was hidden on the back slope of an inconspicuous sand dune. From a distance, it was no different from the vast yellow sand between the sky and the earth, and it was completely integrated into one.

Even Yasmine walked around for a long time, until dusk was approaching and the stars in the sky became gradually clear, Yasmine finally determined the direction.

Both of them had brought tools such as short-handled shovels, and they started digging as soon as they got off the camels.

Ten minutes later, the ruins of a collapsed, tilted tower building buried in the sand appeared at their feet.

“Found it. This was originally a temple of a local tribal clan. More than a hundred years ago, this clan was destroyed by our family in a war, and the temple collapsed along with it.

Bah…"

The wind and sand were too strong, so Yasmine spat out two mouthfuls of sand and took two sips from her water bag.

"We'll go in later. Will the dug hole and the camel reveal our location?"

Although there was only monotonous yellow sand in the sky as far as the eye could see, Millie Tang still raised the question cautiously.

“No, this is a downwind entrance. Soon after we enter, the strong wind will completely cover up the traces of our entry, just like what we saw at the beginning.

As for how we get out? Didn't I ask you to prepare the tools and oilcloth cape? I will find a way to get out when the time comes.

And... I feel that the space inside the dungeon is not a real space in the strict sense, otherwise these brick walls would not be able to block the sand above my head.

Anyway, you will understand once you go in. We Kurts also have ways to deal with camels, so you don’t have to worry.”

The two dug for another half an hour and finally found a small round hole. The sand outside the hole seemed to be disturbed by the internal space and spread and shook outward consciously, like magnetic fragments at the mercy of repulsive forces.

"right here."

Standing outside the cave, Yasmine thought about it and decided not to fix the rope to the protrusion of the building outside the cave. Although this is not very safe, if someone comes in, the position of the two will be exposed. It is better to be cautious after weighing the two evils.

As the name suggests, the crypt is a deep downward passage. Yasmine was in front, and Millie Tang was behind. They slid in along the round hole one after another and finally fell into a sand pit.

"You follow me. Actually... I've only been here once, when I was a kid. My memory of the place is very vague, and I was very scared when I came in, so it's very likely that I'll be in danger."

Yasmine took several deep breaths before she finished speaking. It was obviously an experience she couldn't bear to look back on. Millie Tang walked over and held her hand.

"Don't worry. In the past six months, that guy and I have been to dangerous places like this many times. We are considered experts."

Millie Tang rarely showed her considerate side and made a face at Yasmine. Just as Yasmine said, this was a strange space that was difficult to explain with common sense. Not only did the temperature drop as she went deeper, but Millie Tang even heard a clear sound of dripping water!

But where could there be water in the arid desert? She waved the torch and shone it above her head and under her feet, but there was no trace of an underground river. The sound of dripping water was intermittent, and after listening for a long time, Millie Tang actually found some patterns in it.

Some existence seemed to be sending a message to the intruder through the sound of dripping water.

"Stop your ears."

Millie Tang was quite cautious. She took out two cotton balls and handed them to Yasmine, and then took out the prepared potion. There were complicated passages in the crypt, and Yasmine could not remember the whole path she had taken more than ten years ago.

According to her, those unknown passages contained dangers that Zaheer was not aware of, which was why she was able to escape in the first place. When she hid in a passage, even Zaheer was unwilling to take the risk of chasing her.

Gradually, the sound of dripping water was mixed with the sound of some stones rolling. When Milly Tang looked back, she saw bright eyes in the darkness more than once.

The eyes were quite large but not positioned high, so they should be some kind of creature hiding underground.

Millie Tang sprinkled magic potions along the way to warn the followers that she would attack them if they caught up with her. However, until she walked into an open space, the necklace around her neck did not move.

Perhaps they are a clan of monsters like the Sand Diving Monster, cruel and cunning, but these guys will not take action before establishing a large enough numerical advantage, but choose to follow from a distance.

"Here we are, right in front."

Yasmine confirmed again and again that this was the right place. There were relief carvings on the huge stone gate and a strange device in front of it.

The installation consists of two parts. The first part is a huge metal cage suspended above the space.

Under the metal cage was a huge stone bowl, and under the stone bowl was an obsidian statue of a deformed meat hammer slug. Millie Tang's nasal cavity began to feel uncomfortable.

She could clearly smell the smell of blood, and there must be some extremely powerful forbidden existence hidden behind the stone door.

"Why don't you try... Only Zaheer can open the gate."

Yasmine's teeth chattered unconsciously as the bloody scene reappeared in her mind. She had never thought that one day she would return to the stone gate again.

"kindness."

As an investigator's habit, Millie Tang first observed the space where the stone door was located. It was an irregular dungeon in the shape of a bull's horn, with two narrow corridors extending forward on the left and right, but there was no exit and it was a dead end.

The stone gate is located right in the center of the bull's head.

"Does Zahir know the origin of the mural?"

“I’m not sure. In the war a hundred years ago, the tribe guarding the crypt fought until the last man fell. Zahir himself also brought down several of his mystics.

But when Zaheer discovered that these men also could not understand the ancient writing on the gate, he killed them."

Yasmine pointed to the skeleton in the far corner.

What followed was a long period of deciphering. Even Millie Tang had to admit that she could not open the door without the cocoon, but she was able to infer some information through the reliefs and text on the stone door.

Those tribesmen once believed in the cat god Bastit, and at some point in the past, very long time ago, Bastit must have found... the information on the stone tablet.

There is another god in the Western Continent who also knows the location of the stone slab, but Millitang is unable to determine his identity.

But in the murals, the deity is represented by the symbol of a male sculpture.

As for the relationship between the cat god and this god, Militang was a little confused. Now there are two ways to open the stone door, one is to steal Zaxier's cocoon, and the other is to find the unknown god.

Millie Tang was standing in front of the door thinking, when she suddenly heard footsteps and voices coming from the dark corridor behind her.

"Grand Duke, if you're going to come here, bring more people with you! What do you mean? Do you love the people like your own children? Do you not want your subordinates to suffer hardships?

If that's the case, I admire you from the bottom of my heart..."

It was Liu Yonglu's voice. He raised his voice deliberately for no other reason than to alert Millie Tang and Yasmine who might be hiding inside.

The real boss is here! You two should hide first!
