Something's wrong with my undead

The Stream of Contemplation lies beneath the sea between four islands.

From a distance, this place looked like a whirlpool, but as the distraught Buzina slowly approached, the illusion of the whirlpool disappeared, revealing a huge hole obscured by diffuse water vapor.

Although the cave is dark and damp, the rock walls are covered with moss and vines. The deeper you go, the drier it gets. It doesn't look like a path leading to the seabed, but rather like an underground cave somewhere on land.

Along the way, Teacher Xia couldn't find a suitable opportunity to jump out of the car and escape.

Considering the dragon's terribly wide perception range, it would be very difficult to move forward on Dragon Island if one did not advance along a specific route. So he did not act rashly, but tried his best to avoid exposing the three of them.

Fortunately, the barrier left by Buzina had not been eliminated. Therefore, when the barrier was filtered before entering the Canyon of Meditation, the three of them "collectively transformed into things" again, relying on skeleton camouflage and metal camouflage to deceive the magic circle and successfully enter this "prison".

Although Longdao claims that it has no prison, in fact this place is a prison.

Teacher Xia jumped out of the floating city and looked at the familiar scenes around him, feeling a little emotional.

“I didn’t expect that the first stop on Dragon Island would be here.”

Da Huang: "No buddy, why did you come into this place?"

Teacher Xia: "This is a safe zone. If you are being chased, just jump into the sea, and then use Shadow Shuttle to squeeze in by sticking to the side of the whirlpool. I thought this was a bug in the game, but now it seems it is not."

"Oh..." Da Huang suddenly realized: "The illusion is a spell model, and the model density is lower than your Shadow Shuttle level, so it was penetrated, right?"

Teacher Xia: "Is that the truth? It has to be you, Da Huang!"

But now Da Huang was even more puzzled: "That's not right. Isn't Dragon Island's initial reputation neutral? What did you do to be chased?"

Teacher Xia: "You didn't know? Oh, I forgot that you were already playing alone against four people to pursue a broader world. Sigh, I was just too green..."

Da Huang: "??? You haven't finished yet, have you?"

Teacher Xia: "My my... Actually, I didn't do anything. I just brought Brother Yang to help me open the map. Even if Dragon Island's reputation is worshipped, there are still many places guarded by guards and you can't enter. But if your reputation is hostile, you can run around. I got him a set of plate armor from Helm's Keep and let him pretend to be a remnant of the Everlasting Dawn. His reputation is naturally hostile, and then he ran around. I followed him around, and when the situation was not right, I killed him and said I was here to arrest someone."

Da Huang: "Then why is it your turn to be chased?"

Teacher Xia: "I killed the same 'Remnant of the Eternal Dawn' three times in a row in front of the same guard. Even if he was dumb, he knew something was wrong."

rhubarb:"……"

I don't know whether his silence was a reflection of how stupid this was, or that he actually missed out on such a stupid thing.

After entering here, Buzina became completely quiet and didn't respond at all.

Olaf didn't really understand what was going on, but since the two skeletons were not in a hurry, he wasn't in a hurry either.

Sure enough, not long after, Teacher Xia found a spot on the surrounding rock wall.

As he scraped away the top layer of moss and dirt with his dagger, a cuneiform-like rune was revealed underneath.

It was clearly from the claws of some giant beast, and was very similar to the runes on the pillars of the Ring of the Covenant.

Teacher Xia: "Feel the faint vibration of this rune and look around. There should be three more like it."

The other two immediately followed suit, and soon used the same method to expose all four runes to the air.

Then, these four runes, which were positioned in no regular pattern, suddenly glowed faintly, then fell off the rock wall one by one and gathered into a ball of light in the air.

Teacher Xia reached out and picked up the ball of light, waving it back and forth a few times like waving a torch, and then he found the pattern of the light changes.

If you walk in a certain direction, the ball of light will become brighter and brighter.

When he reached the brightest part of the light ball, a circle of magic circle appeared on the ground under his feet.

Then the ball of light dissolved, and the light was injected into the magic circle. A sound of rocks rubbing against each other was heard, and suddenly a circular staircase leading downwards appeared under everyone's feet.

Teacher Xia: "It's okay, it's okay. Although we came early, the road is still there."

Da Huang: "How did you find such a complicated puzzle?"

Teacher Xia: "If you were in this place with a wanted buff that requires you to be online to lose time, you would be bored and lick the wall like me. Although I originally wanted to paint on the rock wall, it can be considered a lucky coincidence."

Da Huang: "So where does this road lead to?"

Teacher Xia: "There is a portal below. If you go in, you will be transported to the hideout of the traitors. That is the real safe zone. The patrolling dragons don't go there."

Da Huang: "Why is there such a thing in prison?"

Teacher Xia: "Isn't it normal for prisons to have escape routes?"

While the two were talking, they had already taken Olaf down the stairs. Da Huang turned around and looked at Buqina.

"Are we just going to leave like this?"

Teacher Xia: "What else, stay here for the New Year?"

Da Huang: "Okay then."

Teacher Xia: "Don't worry, there is no place safer than this place."

Da Huang: "Please don't set this flag."

Teacher Xia: "? I'm not Mr. Sa!"

They walked down the stairs, talking and laughing, and stepped into deep darkness.

In the center of the darkness underground, there was indeed a portal standing quietly just as Teacher Xia said.

In the game "AGE", from the time the player is born until the counterattack on the underworld, there is no two-point portal of the type commonly seen in fantasy works that "decomposes here and regenerates somewhere else".

Most portals are either interplanar—like a hole in a piece of paper connecting the front and back sides.

Or it is really a "send" to the door.

Players who step into it will be wrapped in something unknown and then sent to the other side in one breath like cargo on a high-speed conveyor belt.

Judging from its style and gloss, the door in front of us obviously belongs to the latter.

However, just as the two were about to step in, a pair of eyes suddenly lit up in the darkness.

A pair of huge dragon eyes!

"Oh, I'm going!"

Teacher Xia was so frightened that he dived into the water, then jumped back to the stairs at the speed of light.

His movements were so fast that even the Dragon Hunter Olaf, who was one level higher than him, was not as fast as him in his backward jump.

Da Huang: "No, buddy, what is this?"

He wasn't calm, but he didn't react in time, his mouth was a split second faster than his brain.

By the time he reacted and wanted to run, he had already been intimidated by the dragon's might.

If you are in the game, there will now be an additional description in the status bar: "Your body is stiff and you can't move."

"Dwarves and undead? What a strange combination... No, there is no death energy in you... Are you puppets?"

The dragon spoke, and a hot breath with the smell of sulfur hit his face.

Then there was a clattering sound of chains dragging, as if he had moved forward, and a huge dragon head appeared in front of the three people with the light of the portal.

Olaf clenched his spear tightly in his hand:

"Want to come?"

he asked in a low voice.

For some reason, he had an inexplicable sense of familiarity, as if he had seen the other person somewhere, or heard the voice, or smelled the bad breath.

"No."

Teacher Xia jumped out from behind him and walked forward in surprise.

"Ottonohe?"

——Why does even this name sound familiar?

Olaf wondered.

Da Huang was startled: "Who? That red copper dragon? Isn't it a traitor? Why is it imprisoned in the Valley of Meditation?"

Teacher Xia: "How the hell should I know that..."

The copper dragon Ottonohe, one of the traitors wanted by Dragon Island, is a melee muscular dragon who knows little magic and can transform into a gorilla.

His teeth are one of the most suitable materials for the dragon tooth dagger. Plus, since it's also a close combat dagger, he can defeat the dragon by just dodging the entire time, rather than standing on the ground and letting the magic dragon shoot him as a target. Therefore, he became Teacher Xia's favorite.

To be frank, Mr. Xia knows every inch of Ottonoeh's body!

That's why he dared to move forward so confidently.

Not to mention that the other party was suspected to be locked up by chains. Even if he was released, in such a narrow place, how much power could an orangutan who would hit his head if he jumped up could have?

In short, you can play casually in this wave!

At this moment, the Copper Dragon himself was no less surprised than the two of them.

"Who are you and how come you know me? I thought my name had been deleted from the database by Longdao."

...

Teacher Xia: "Da Huang Da Huang, what should I say?"

Da Huang: "No, you haven't dealt with him in the game?"

Teacher Xia: "But we usually don't talk when we interact with each other!"

Da Huang: "...Then ask him why he was locked up here and what this portal is."

Teacher Xia: “Okay!”

He did so with great pleasure.

Hearing this, Ottonoeh looked upward in confusion.

"You obviously came from there, why don't you know this place? As for me, since you know my name, you know my 'crime'. My teeth are stained with the blood of four companions, and I 'deserve it'."

"So this is the real 'prison'?" asked Teacher Xia.

"Maybe. What about you? What crime have you committed? Wait, when did Dragon Island start cooperating with the dwarves... I'm curious, are you really a puppet?"

"We sneaked in here," Olaf replied in a muffled voice. "Dragon Island has never cooperated with the dwarves. You didn't even tell us what a real 'dragon' is. Instead, you described yourselves as savage and primitive beasts, and together with the Veritas people, you sold the myth of getting rich overnight to deceive the ignorant young dwarves! What on earth are you thinking!"

Teacher Xia couldn't help but look back. How could Olaf say such a thing?!

The dragon hunter blushed and whispered, "Ian taught me that. Let me ask him in person when I get a chance."

Teacher Xia gave him a thumbs-down sign.

As expected of you!

Ottonohe was stunned by this statement. How could someone sneak into Dragon Island?

"I don't understand what you are talking about, dwarves, savage beasts, and myths of wealth... I have never heard of these."

He shook his head. "I don't know how you got down here. Anyway, you and your puppet are very interesting, but—"

Before he even started to turn, the underground suddenly became bright!

It was not that someone turned on the light, but the belly of the copper dragon suddenly became as bright as a burning iron, and the light of the molten iron quickly crawled along his copper body towards his neck!

He's going to spray someone!

Seeing that the dragon's breath was about to spew out of the opponent's mouth, Teacher Xia and Olaf counterattacked without any communication!

The former is because they are too familiar with the other person's hand-raising movements.

The latter didn't know why, but it felt very familiar.

Although the specific memory of the dream in the underground palace has disappeared, the experience of fighting with Ottonoeh has become a hunter's instinct and has been preserved.
