Crown of Silence

Chapter 356 Chapter 336 Gate of Hades

"..."

Miller hesitated to speak, while Barlow grabbed Ye Qingxuan's shoulders: "Don't go there, who knows what those guys want to do."

"rest assured."

Ye Qingxuan glanced at Colt and laughed: "Mr. Colt is not that kind of person, right?"

Colt smiled and said nothing, his eyes were green, seeming to hide a hint of coldness.

"You guys stay here for now, I'll be back soon."

Ye Qingxuan said to Samuel: "If anything unusual happens, don't worry about me, just go ahead and kill Colt first."

Sammu nodded.

Ye Qingxuan put down the package and walked towards the five people step by step. Colt watched him walking step by step, his expression unchanged. In the silence, Ye Qingxuan's steps suddenly stopped midway.

He looked at Colt and Colt looked at him.

The look in their eyes was meaningful.

In the brief silence, everyone's eyes showed vague hostility, and the atmosphere became tense. But in that suffocating confrontation, Ye Qingxuan's smile remained unchanged.

Until finally, Colt sighed regretfully and took a step back. There was a faint sound in the air, as if something disappeared.

So, Ye Qingxuan continued to step forward, as if nothing had happened, walking past the two musicians with provocative eyes, without any scruples.

"What a pity."

When he passed by Colt, he said softly: "If I were you, I would do it if I was 50% sure."

“A musician of revelation never gambles.”

Colt's expression was still cold: "Ye Qingxuan, you are still far away."

"No, what I mean is: as long as you have 50% in my hands, you will win." Ye Qingxuan smiled slightly and looked back: "But you can't."

Colt didn't seem to hear anything and didn't look at the boy behind him. He just pursed his lips tightly and veins appeared on the fingers holding the wooden stick.

A pair of green eyes were still indifferent.

Regardless of the cold eyes behind him, Ye Qingxuan took his time to look at the door in front of him. The silent eyes in front of him scanned the door carefully inch by inch, and his fingers carefully groped the texture on the door, as if he was looking at precious jewelry. , don’t want to miss any place.

After a long time, he got up and returned.

It wasn't until Ye Qingxuan stepped into the range of Samuel's heartbeat that the three of them breathed a sigh of relief.

"What's going on?" Samuel asked.

Ye Qingxuan took out a handkerchief, wiped the dust off his hands, raised his head and said, "I'm afraid we may be in trouble this time."

——

ten minutes later.

"In short, when you get here, there is only one way to go down. According to the trend of the entire underground palace, all the passages in front will probably lead to here. I am afraid that after a while, when everyone comes down, there will be a It will be very lively.

And next, the problem that everyone needs to face is: compared with the poor civilians and soldiers, the people buried behind the door are probably rich and powerful nobles. Therefore, the burial will never be so casual - my I mean, do you understand? "

Miller's reaction was the fastest: "Is it a barrier or a seal?"

"The trouble is, there are all of them."

Ye Qingxuan tapped the huge stone door with his chin: "In the myth of Romulus, this situation is called the 'Gate of Hades'. It has both the coverage of the barrier and the independence of the seal. It should be a certain A special specialty of the school, with at least five forbidden musicians joining forces."

"Is it done?"

"I can't do it." Ye Qingxuan shook his head decisively: "When I reach the scepter level, I might come here and give it a try. Maybe Colt can't do it either, otherwise he will definitely not stay here."

"How about we try digging a hole again?"

"Are you sure you want to dig a hole on an active volcano?" Ye Qingxuan gave an analogy: "The consequences of digging a hole hastily without removing the alchemy matrix here are not much better than that.

Remember the Romulus phalanx at the door? That's just an appetizer before the meal. Once the 'Gate to Hades' is activated, all the defense facilities in the upper underground palace will be activated together, and a feast will definitely be served..."

Ye Qingxuan looked around the palace, which was empty enough for hundreds of people to come out to practice, and smiled mockingly: "It's so far away, how many clay puppet centurions can be put in this place?"

"..."

Barlow's expression twitched and he cursed: "I knew that those Romulus ghosts must have had bad intentions when they built such a big place!"

"Then what happens next?"

"Cold salad."

Ye Qingxuan shrugged: "There are three ways."

"First, we are wasting our time here to see if the people who come later can solve the problem, but I'm afraid it will be a waste of time. Second, let's go up there and find another way to try, but it's probably impossible..."

"Where's three?"

"three?"

Ye Qingxuan smiled, looked at his watch and said, "It's getting late, and it's useless to waste time. Why don't we all go home and take a nap. Recharge and recharge tomorrow to solve the problem..."

Everyone thought he was joking, but looking at Ye Qingxuan's serious look, they didn't know what to say.

In the end, the three of them were finally convinced by him, packed up their things and left.

Looking far away, the formation on the opposite side was a little flustered. Colt's eyes flashed with a trace of astonishment. He opened his mouth to speak, but saw a trace of ridicule in Ye Qingxuan's eyes.

collapse!

With his cane on the ground, Ye Qingxuan picked up his hat, bowed and saluted, and then turned around and left without hesitation - since he didn't know what conspiracy this guy had prepared, but as long as he didn't follow the opponent's pace, he wouldn't be afraid of getting hit. trick.

Anyway, the ruins are just here, and they won’t grow legs and run away.

Guys, just keep squatting. Let’s go home and sleep. Goodbye~

The four of them turned around and left.

While climbing silently on the stairs, Barlow suddenly stopped and grabbed Ye Qingxuan in front of him.

His eyes had transformed into animalistic vertical pupils at some point - the hair on his palms stood on end, as if a wild beast was about to go crazy, exuding a frenzied aura.

It seems to have sensed a natural enemy.

"Something damn is coming."

He gritted his teeth and stared ahead: "Very strong animal nature, very strong..."

Ye Qingxuan was stunned. He didn't know how strong the animal nature was to frighten the inheritors of the Dragon Stone School - you know, after seeing behemoths like the giant worm, Ye Qingxuan himself was completely numb to the existence of fantasy beasts. , it’s hard to imagine anything that would surprise me.

Soon, the sound of footsteps was heard on the revolving stone stairs.

two.

One after the other.

When the person in front takes a step, the person behind will follow. Follow the rules, as if you are serious about stepping on the footsteps in front of you, rigid and careful.

"Casper…Casper Hauser."

Barlow's sharpened nails drew a sad crack on the wall, and the sand fell, and his whole body tensed: "Here are the Hauser brothers, Torre and his monster brother."

Before he finished speaking, a gray and black figure appeared in front.

The man in gray clothes stood tall and straight, his face was cold and serious, and his pupils were like amber in the dim light.

Behind him, a rickety figure looked like a monkey, wearing an old, dirty black dress in tatters.

His face was covered with a scarf, making it difficult to see his face, and his waist-length hair seemed to be greasy and knotted together, turning into strands, like the stiff mane of some kind of beast.

But for some reason, his eyes showed no trace of the summoned musician's beast form, they were just dull.

Casper.

Caspar Hauser.

The legendary Summoning Musician was raised by the Summoning Musician and the Summoning Musician according to the ‘Optimization Theory’.

——Monster level monster.

The encounter between the two sides caused a stalemate in the atmosphere for a moment.

Immediately afterwards, the brother in front, Torre, first nodded slightly to a few people, without saying hello, and made way for the upward passage.

After the two sides were silent for a moment, they passed each other on the not-so-narrow stairs.

The stairs were five meters wide, but they were too narrow at the moment.

It's so narrow that when they miss each other, it's suffocating.

Just as he was passing by, Ye Qingxuan saw a vague coat of arms on Casper's dark cloak out of the corner of his sight - a totem that had faded due to exposure to wind, sun, rain and wear and tear.

That was the pitch-black hound badge. It lurked in the darkness of the background of the robe, but revealed its faint outline.

Grinding teeth and sucking blood, waiting for the kill.

…

The moment of intertwining, until they were far away, Ye Qingxuan could still hear the violent heartbeat coming from Barlow's chest, like the violent breathing that had not subsided after the battle.

His eyes were dark, and he was chewing on his nails subconsciously, making an irritated sound.

"Is that legend true?"

Miller asked softly: "Is the 'Heritage of Beastiality' completed?"

"Mostly."

Barlow said in a muffled voice: "Before I saw that guy, I was still skeptical about it, but after seeing it, I knew that it was probably true - compared with such stage results, our school's research was finally one step behind. "

"Beastiality inheritance? What is that?" Ye Qingxuan asked.

"——Crooked ways!"

Barlow spat and looked back at him: "Do you know how a 'hound breed' was born?"

How did the hound breed come about?

Of course, from thousands of ferocious dogs, select the most violent, most aggressive, fastest, and strongest among them, then mate their excellent bloodlines with each other, continue to observe the offspring, and then select the strongest among them. , constantly nurturing, training, strengthening, and multiplying... until finally, the bloodlines of countless strong ancestors converged on the same fierce dog.

Fierce, powerful, fast, full of aggression and yet tamed by the strong...all the advantages combined into one body.

Thus, a new hound was born.

"Some schools of thought believe that since hounds can do it, why can't they summon musicians? Anyway, aren't humans just beasts that look a little advanced?"

That's all Barlow said, and he didn't go any further.

Ye Qingxuan was silent for a long time, looking back at the darkness behind him.

The darkness swayed, as if the dark hound had never gone away.

That is the Summoning Musician and the Summoning Musician raised by the Summoning Musician.

Monster level monster.

"I see."

I'm going to take a day off tomorrow. I'm extremely sorry.
