Chapter 17 The Man Behind the Incident

The boiling magma proved to Yuhicheng and Esmeralda that he was active and dangerous, and Yuhicheng was deeply puzzled that he hadn't seen a dark saint since he went up the mountain.

You have to know that in the past few years, Yuhi Cheng, who basically pushes these little garbage on Death Queen Island, knows that as the Phoenix Saint Cloth, the volcano that is not a secret secret place on Death Queen Island, usually gathers here to want There are so many dark saints trying their luck that they almost regard this place as a holy place for punching cards.

However, they did not find a single Dark Saint on the way they came today. This is obviously counterintuitive, and in addition to the strange behavior of those Dark Saints in the recent period, he had to be more vigilant. Just in case something weird happens.

"Since we haven't found anything yet, let's leave here first."

In Yuhicheng's mind, the surrounding area of ​​the volcano is obviously different from usual, and they haven't found anything special, so it's better to evacuate here temporarily to prevent any sudden danger from happening, as for the direction to continue to explore.

Yuhicheng felt that he could start the investigation from the sudden appearance of so many dark holy clothes recently.

But what Yuhicheng didn't expect, or what he overlooked, was that how could those dark saints who had been cultivated by the illusion with bad personalities and were also infected by the dark breath like him always like to be steady when things happen?

You know, in the hearts of those lunatics, although sneak attacks and assassinations are possible, as long as they feel that there is a [-]% to [-]% chance, those guys will definitely consider how to act.

"Damn, it really won't be that simple."

In nearly two hours, Yuhicheng, who carried Esmeralda on his back again because he wanted to speed up, came to the edge of the stone he had marked for the fourth time.

Therefore, Yuhicheng, who stopped, was sure that at some point, he had been shrouded in some kind of power. Otherwise, with his perception that could cover the entire volcano, how could he still get lost? Chance.

"Brother Cheng, are we lost?"

Obviously, the clever Esmeralda also noticed the current situation, poked her head out and looked at the huge stone with the mark in front of her, her tone full of worry.

"Obviously, I'm afraid so."

Being able to inexplicably make him fall into an illusion without the slightest notice under his perception, this made Yuhima, who was carrying Esmeralda on his back, suddenly nervous. Guys can trap them here so easily, so it is absolutely easy to kill them.

"Go, I remember that there is a place where I can temporarily settle down in that direction."

As the punch-in sanctuary of Queen of Death Island, there are always some natural or man-made temporary shelter caves on this volcano, but Yuhi Cheng took Esmeralda to find one of them that is considered to be dug. After entering the cave with a small belly, Yuhi Cheng couldn't help but slow down the worries he raised a little bit.

"It seems that we are not being targeted by some powerful guy, but that we don't know what force has sealed the volcano from the halfway up the mountain."

It is a good habit of Yuhicheng to carry a supply bag with him. At this time, the two of them who have already cleaned up the cave are sitting on the ground, and one of them is holding a pear in his hand and gnawing on it.

"Then how do we go down the mountain? We went back and forth several times, and now it seems that even if no one is really watching us as you said, brother Cheng, we still have to find a way."

Taking a bite of the pear in her hand, Esmeralda almost wanted to help Yuhicheng analyze the situation in front of her with a serious face, but her constantly wriggling mouth and the crackling sound in her mouth made Yuhicheng feel uncomfortable. Look, everyone thinks this little girl is making a show.

"So, now our priority is to rest well and wait for the opportunity."

Throwing the leftover pear cores to the corner of the cave, Yuhi Cheng stretched his waist and found a comfortable position on the ground to lie down.

"Chance? What chance?"

The three of them also finished eating the pears in their hands and discarded the cores. Esmeralda, who was wearing a small blanket, leaned forward and looked at Yuhicheng with big eyes full of curiosity.

"Do you think that the volcano that is said to store the Holy Cloth of the Phoenix is ​​really as empty as what we saw today?"

"Just wait, believe me, we are definitely not the only ones here to investigate, and we won't be the only ones."

"When someone comes over again, we just need to follow each other, and we will be safer with those guys as bait."

Patting Esmeralda's small head, Yuhi Cheng briefly explained his plan to her, then urged the little girl to rest quickly, and then closed his eyes.

After a while, with only the sound of Esmeralda's even breathing remaining in the cave, Yuhisari, who had closed his eyes as if he had fallen asleep, opened them.

In fact, if you think about what he said just now, you will find that there are quite a few loopholes in it.

Why did he say he needed bait to try to discover the secret they were trapped here now?

The reason is simple. After carrying Esmeralda down the mountain and confirming that he seemed to have encountered a "ghost hitting the wall", Yuhi Cheng continued to try and noticed the unusual marks on the ground.

Recalling the walking footprints that I saw that seemed to disappear suddenly, and the small universe in my body seemed to throb suddenly at a certain moment along the way.

He felt that maybe what happened here, or the origin of all kinds of weird things that happened on Death Queen Island this time, might be inextricably linked with the queen of the underworld, Persephone, who occupied Hillis's body. Relationship.

At the same time when Yuhicheng was tossing and turning and fell into a deep sleep, in a wide hall at the end of a scorching hot and cold weird interdependent and balanced passage, four figures dressed in black holy clothes were kneeling respectfully. .

"Although I am also very clear that it is really unrealistic to ask you to break the enchantment."

"But now you are only asked to unify those bastards, and you haven't done it until now! Then you say, what's the use of me wanting you? Is it because of the cheap loyalty in your mouth?!"

Accompanied by the angry woman's voice, an incomparably tyrannical cosmic force instantly blew the four people kneeling on the ground into the air and slammed them into the wall.
