Lord of War

The air in the tunnel is not turbid, and it doesn't have the smell of wet and rotted soil. On the contrary, it is very clean, and even has a little fragrance.

It was very similar to the freshness of singing birds and flowers that Sean had smelled before.

Sean and Joanna walked all the way down the passage to the ground, and the fragrant smell in the air became stronger. Both of them were in a slightly better mood, after all, the smell of the Ghost Winged Demon Lizard's lair was too unacceptable.

And after entering this tunnel, Sean is even more sure that this is not Amiz's magic laboratory, because it is completely different from the situation in the game.

Sean first put Arkham on the ground, then took out Joanna's equipment again, and then began to look at the surrounding environment.

At this time, Sean and Joanna were at the bottom of a stair passage, surrounded by soft light of light blue, which looked like fluorescent lights embedded in the wall. There is only one passage in front of them, and they don't know where it leads, but it can be confirmed that this is their only way. At this time, it is obviously unrealistic to return to the lair of the ghost winged lizard. After the Winged Demon Lizard suffered a series of heavy injuries from Ryze and Hams, it will definitely hide in its lair to recuperate in the next few days, and will not leave at will.

"You are here to protect Arkham, I'll go ahead and have a look." Sean found that there was nothing to investigate around, so he said.

Joanna also knew that her physical condition was not particularly good at this time, so she couldn't help much, so she nodded and sat on the ground. He was originally from Arkham. Although the time with Arkham is not as long as Snell and Hams, they are also partners who have worked together for several years. In fact, they have already formed a fixed team relationship like them, which has broken away from the concept of ordinary adventurers. But they themselves didn't think there was any problem, so they just made do with it until they met Ryze.

Thinking of Ryze, Joanna's expression turned ugly.

Sean knew what Joanna was thinking. He glanced at Arkham, who was still in a daze, and didn't say anything. He just left some food in case he might encounter any accidents and couldn't come back in time, and then he started towards Go forward.

The passage is spacious.

It can accommodate at least four people walking side by side, which is even more spacious than the lair above.

Sean checked the stone walls on both sides. It was discovered that these stone walls were made of a material he didn't know, and it was not much weaker than the Black King in terms of hardness. Sean took the Black King and stroked it, leaving only a light white mark. Although he didn't use much force, the material was indeed enough to shock Sean.

After testing the condition of the stone wall, Xiao En also checked the ground a little bit, and found that the ground was as hard as the stone wall, and it looked like a passage dug out of a huge underground. It's just that Sean is very clear that such hard natural materials cannot exist on the Miracle Continent. Maybe it was possible before the Age of Ashes, but after the Age of Ashes, many ore materials have been excavated, and the stone walls and floors of this passage are obviously not pure natural materials. It is a synthetic material.

Sean stepped forward.

Only this time, there was no voice calling again in his mind, which made Sean frown slightly.

In addition to an aromatic sweetness in the air. And no other weird smells. But this smell is not a dangerous signal, at least Sean didn't feel his spirit was affected in any way. On the contrary, it is better to say that my spirit seems to become more energetic after smelling this sweet smell. This made Sean couldn't help speeding up his pace, and he suddenly wondered where the scent came from. And he always felt that he should know this fragrance, but he couldn't remember where he had smelled it before.

The passage seems like an endless corridor, no matter how fast Sean moves forward, he has never seen any new scenes.

This made Sean feel a little confused.

He began to wonder if he had been under some illusion.

This situation is not impossible. Because in many ruins, there are large-scale illusion magic circles. Perhaps these magic circles were only used as a means of blocking in the era when the gods existed, warning others that they have broken into other powerful realms Among them, there is no danger in itself. But with the passage of time, it is no longer an easy task to easily decipher these illusion magic circles in today's era. Many people are often unable to escape after falling into these illusions. Life was lost.

Even in the game at the beginning, many players were unable to break through the illusion, and as a result, because of the exhaustion value and the consumption of hunger, they could only lose the level with hatred. This is why in the middle and late stages of the second expansion of the game, many guilds and teams began to pay attention to illusionists, because only they can easily dispel these illusions.

Sean frowned, and he was even about to retreat.

But at this moment, that extremely tired and weak voice sounded in Sean's mind again: "Keep going!"

Sean shuddered all over, and then subconsciously began to move forward.

"Who the hell are you?" Sean shouted in his heart.

But did not get any reply.

It seemed that this time, that voice lost the ability to talk to Sean, and just kept urging Sean to move forward. Several times when Sean wanted to stop, the voice would become harsh, so that Sean felt a strong tingling in his head, which made him have to keep going.

But even so, after walking forward for another half an hour, Sean still didn't come to the end.

And at this moment, the voice in Sean's mind was no longer blindly urging Sean to move forward: "Believe in your goal! Keep going!"

At this moment, in Sean's eyes, he even saw the green field again, and a figure stood in this green field, looking at Sean peacefully. Sean couldn't see the other person's face clearly, as if there was a thick fog covering it, but Sean could clearly feel the warm smile in the other's eyes. It's like a kind elder is looking at the younger generation, looking forward to the growth and future of the younger generation.

"Who are you?" Sean asked suddenly.

"A little further forward."

There was a nice clear voice, but no matter what, it couldn't hide the tiredness in the voice.

It was as if an old man could not hold back the passage of time at last, and was sitting in a rocking chair at the last moment of his life, waiting for the last visit from his younger generation.

At this moment, Sean suddenly felt a little afraid to move on.

He was afraid that if he really met the other party, the other party would leave peacefully like an old man who could finally die in peace.

Sean didn't understand why he felt this way, but at this moment, he really didn't want to move on. His footsteps also slowly slowed down, moving forward almost at the speed of one step per second—Sean didn't dare to stop, for some reason, he heard the words of this man who told him to keep moving forward and firmly believe in his goal After that, Sean was terrified of standing still.

"Don't be afraid." The generous and gentle voice sounded again, with an unknown understanding, "We are people involved in the world, and death is not the end for us, because the fire of our will has not been extinguished ...My son, come here, bravely move on, I am waiting for you on the other side of the door, don't be fooled by the false corridor, your path should not stop here."

The scene in front of Sean began to gradually become blurred.

Then soon, the green field with singing birds and flowers that Sean saw quickly receded from Sean's surroundings like the ebbing sea water. When Xiao En came back to his senses again, the surroundings had returned to the long corridor that seemed to never end, the light blue fluorescence was still shining, and the fragrance in the air was still permeating.

But Sean finally remembered where he had smelled this fragrance.

The flower of falsehood.

This is a very rare plant that can be used as a magic material. It is also a necessary material for advanced alchemy potions, and it is also an auxiliary material for many illusionists to practice illusion. This kind of thing is very rare in the Miracle Continent today. According to legend, it is a special plant brought by other planes. It's just that this plant was originally used as an anesthetic, because even when the legendary strong man was seriously injured and needed pain relief, this plant could also produce effects. It's just that after it was transplanted to the Miracle Continent, it has the property of confusing others. It can amplify the sense of time passing and other various perceptions of all creatures.

Falling into the scent of illusory flowers, it is easy to lose yourself, and then consume a lot of energy for no reason, and eventually starve to death.

Xiao En is sure that if it wasn't for the reminder from that voice, he might have fallen into a lost state.

Staring at the seemingly endless front, Sean closed his eyes, then exhaled lightly, took a deep breath, and then walked forward holding his breath. This time, Sean no longer used his eyes to see, nor did he use his senses to sense. He just kept moving forward, walking like a child who knew nothing about the surrounding situation, only his mind of moving forward remained unchanged.

He knew that there was someone waiting for him in the depths of this ruins.

Sean doesn't know whether this relic exists in the game.

But what he knew was that the only purpose of this ruin in this world was to wait for his own arrival.

And almost the moment Xiao Enming realized this, the system also sent a reminder that his task was completed at the same moment. (To be continued..)
