I just want to live a peaceful life in DC world

Chapter 268 Devil's Well
After getting ready, Jacques came to the gathering place of the power of darkness that he had detected before, somewhere in the desert where the Eurasian continents meet.

Seeing the endless desert in front of him, Jie Kun obviously felt that there was something here, but he couldn't see it.

This feeling made him feel inexplicably familiar, as if he had just experienced this situation not long ago.

"Like Paradise Island, is it isolated in a certain aspect? The question is what is the key?"

"Have you forgotten that I exist?"

A frivolous and coquettish voice sounded from behind, and Jacques knew without turning his head that it was the Cheshire Cat, a member of the League of Assassins.

Jacques turned around, and all the trio he met on the mysterious island finally followed, including Starfire, Essens, and the Cheshire Cat.

"Cheshire cat, I still suggest you stay in a safe place"

"But if I don't lead the way, it will take you a long time, right?"

The Cheshire Cat walked up to Jacques, stretched out his arms to wrap around Jacques' shoulders, and a faint charming fragrance entered Jacques' nose.

"Don't worry, if I am really covered by that dark consciousness, I will kill myself even without your hands."

Jacques remained silent. Now that the Cheshire Cat had made such an awareness, he couldn't say anything more.

And more importantly, the strength of the Cheshire Cat is not strong-to put it bluntly, even if she is really occupied by dark forces, it will not pose much threat to Jacques.

The Cheshire Cat rubbed its soft parts on Jacques' body intentionally or unintentionally, then turned and walked towards the endless desert.

Jacques noticed that her footwork was a little weird, as if she was walking deliberately avoiding her own shadow, leaving a winding footprint in the desert.

"Come along, follow my footprints, before they are blown away by the wind and sand."

Jacques and Xinghuo glanced at each other. They are both strong people who can fly in the air, but it seems that the League of Assassins deliberately made it impossible for them to enter by flying. This design is indeed ingenious.

The temperature of the sand in the desert is not low, but for Jacques, this heat has no effect. Instead, it reminds him of Xinghuo's delicate, lubricated and warm skin, and Esens's cool and refreshing jade skin.
Keke, I'm a little bit wrong.

Back to the topic, as Jacques followed the footprints of the Cheshire Cat step by step, he gradually felt that the heat of the sun in the sky seemed to have weakened a lot, and the surrounding scenery gradually began to become blurred and dim.

"Watch your step, we're here."

At the same time as the Cheshire Cat reminded him, Jacques felt a blur in front of his eyes after taking a step forward, and saw that the surrounding scene was completely different. He seemed to be on the natural stone bridge of a cave now, and the bottom was deep. bottomless abyss.

Jacques turned his head and saw that both Xinghuo and Essens were still in the bright sunlight. Looking around again, Jacques soon knew the reason.

It turns out that at the entrance of the cave, the surrounding rock walls are covered with dense lenses, which can intelligently adjust the direction of reflected light.

This creates an illusion that the entrance of the cave is just a desert from the outside, but when entering the entrance of the cave, due to the sunlight and sky reflected by the lens, people cannot realize that they have come to the bottom.

Jacques couldn't help admiring the ingenious design in his heart. The entrance was actually underground, which made the superhumans with the ability to fly unaware of it.

And this kind of optical illusion design uses light and shadow science and psychology, but does not involve magic and magic, so even the most powerful magician is helpless about it.

However, just as Jacques was still sighing, suddenly he felt a biting chill rise up his spine.

It's a crisis alert!
At this moment, from the dark place on the other side of the stone bridge, something huge and full of violence seemed to be approaching rapidly like a cannonball.

"careful!"

Jacques rushed forward, clamped the Cheshire Cat's soft and boneless waist with his arms, and raised his other hand, releasing an amazing thunder and lightning.

Boom!

The dazzling thunder light illuminated the entire cave, and in the lightning light, Jacques also saw the face of the assailant.

This is an unusually burly body, with well-developed muscles and bulging veins, and what is even more eye-catching is that his head is not a human being, but a roaring tiger.

"Bronze Tiger!"

The human-shaped beast-headed monster called the Bronze Tiger by the Cheshire Cat seemed to have completely lost its mind, and rushed towards Jacques with red eyes, but Jacques calmly increased the lightning release power again to suppress it, and then used cunning to suppress it. Light rings hold it aloft.

"Is this an acquaintance of yours, the Cheshire Cat?"

"Let's do the math, alas. Bronze Tiger is also an important figure in the League of Assassins, but with this appearance——"

The Cheshire Cat sighed softly, then swung its jade arm, and hit the bronze tiger with a sharp knife between the eyebrows. After the latter struggled and growled, it remained silent.

"Let them rest in peace, Jacques. As former companions, the best way to commemorate them is to let them die with honor."

The Cheshire Cat's words were indeed touching - if Jacques hadn't seen the gloating smile on her alluring cheeks, he would have thought so.

"Throw him down, we have other things to attend to."

Hearing the merciless words of the Cheshire Cat, Jacques mourned for a second in his heart for the Bronze Tiger, whom he had never met before, and then threw him into the endless abyss.

Jacques walked ahead and walked towards the other end of the stone bridge step by step. He did not encounter another attack along the way, but the ominous atmosphere seemed to be getting stronger and stronger.

Finally, they crossed the stone bridge, and before them was a cavern corridor.

"Be careful, Jacques, the surrounding traps may have been activated—"

"Are the traps here aimed at ordinary people or superhumans?"

The Cheshire Cat shrugged, seeing her expression, Jacques already knew the answer.

"You all come closer to me."

Jacques floated up, and then used the trick lamp ring to create a spherical translucent shield, but left a small entrance for the three women.

And they also obeyed Jacques's arrangement very much-it can even be said that they obeyed a little too much.

I saw Essens hugged Jacques' left arm first, and put his body close to Jacques's body; while Xinghuo appeared on Jacques' right side, his skin was slightly warmer than that of humans, just in line with his body. Eisens on the left stands in stark contrast.

To make matters worse, the Cheshire Cat hugged Jacques from the front, its slender and muscular feet wrapped around Jacques' waist, and its white arms wrapped around the back of his neck.

"This way I can help you see the enemies behind - and haven't you already prepared the bracket for me?"

Is that a bracket, sister? !
