The Mystery:The Witch and the Scourge

The Rhoside Islands are vast and sparsely populated, and some mountains and virgin forests have little development value. They are inaccessible and over time, they have become an activity site for the resistance and even a military base.

Most of them have been over-exploited, leading to the deterioration of the ecological environment, but because the colonization time is still short, there are not many clues.

Under the leadership of "Lucky" Robinson, the two Joyce came to an deserted place.

On Sunday, the sky was clear and the sun was shining brightly.

In front of you is a barren mountain. The gray-yellow earth color is mixed with a little green vegetation, which cannot hide its barren nature.

"Is this the treasure location you're talking about?"

Joyce asked, standing at the foot of the mountain and looking over at a panoramic view, there seemed to be a treasure somewhere, not to mention that the mountain had obviously been mined...

"It's absolutely true." Robinson, who was wearing a cloak for no apparent reason, said in an exaggerated tone: "How dare I lie to you!"

"Why, you haven't found a way to avoid the curse?" Joyce asked deliberately.

Robinson laughed twice: "I believe in your promise that you will return the blood to me after the expedition."

"As long as you don't play tricks..." Joyce commented and then said: "Let's go."

After large-scale mining, the mountains have long been riddled with holes, but there is still a spacious and solid road under the feet, and the surroundings are filled with a desolate, lifeless and oppressive atmosphere.

"Bring the compass."

When he reached the entrance of a mine that was more than two meters high, Robinson spoke out to break the silence.

Joyce took out the compass and handed it to the other party and asked curiously:

"The treasure is hidden in this mine?"

Didn't the miners discover it during the mining process?

Robinson got the compass and quickly turned it a few times. He seemed confused, but soon, the "spoon pointer" on the compass began to rotate.

"That's right!" He cheered. He didn't answer immediately, but said, "You'll find out when you get in. Follow me closely."

With that said, he held the compass in his hand and walked into the dark mine.

Joyce followed closely and found that the pointer on the compass was rotating irregularly, always pointing in different directions, while Robinson did not know how to distinguish the right path, turning left and right, looking confident.

As he walked, he explained: "Once, I accidentally broke into this mine and found that I was lost. In the end, I found an underground palace through 'luck'."

"There was an agate peacock guarding the entrance to the underground palace. I was cautious and left without further exploration."

"However, when I came in for the second time, I was surprised to find that I couldn't find the entrance to the underground palace!"

"After reading many ancient books and doing careful and detailed research, I finally found the clue. This underground palace was built in the Fourth Age and has been hidden underground for countless years... Then I followed the clues and found the compass.

You will understand the matter."

The Fourth Age...Joyce listened to the other party's story and thought to himself at the same time. There are countless strong men in the Fourth Age. The true gods walk on the earth. The kings of angels have their own agendas. It can be called the most chaotic era in human history.

Era.

"Have your research results concluded who the owner of this underground palace is?" Joyce asked... If it is Amon, I will turn around and leave now.

Robinson stared at the compass, turned towards the right fork, and said slightly excitedly:

"I think this place is related to the God of Death... You have personally felt the outer labyrinth. It has not been discovered for so many years. Don't you think it is very similar to the Raging Sea?"

It's too much to compare with the violent sea, which was formed after the fall of the "God of Death Beyond Sequence Zero"... Joyce retorted in his heart, recalling the history he knew well. In the Fourth Age, the God of Death ruled the southern continent, and the Seven Gods occupied the northern continent.

On the mainland, after the "Pale Disaster" broke out, the God of Death fell...

But this maze doesn't look dangerous. Even Robinson, the seventh-level maze, was able to escape unharmed due to his "lucky". It seems that his status is not high...

"We're here." Robinson breathed a sigh of relief.

An irregular hole was exposed on the ground in front of the two of them. It was dark but did not affect Joyce's observation. The hole was not deep, and underneath were simple and neat stone slabs.

"This...is the entrance to the underground palace?" Joyce asked with a frown.

"Um, no..." Robinson said awkwardly: "This is the place where I accidentally collapsed and fell down last time. It is not the real entrance to the underground palace."

"You go down first." Joyce said.

"Okay." Robinson agreed briskly, then jumped up, unloading his strength on the stone wall twice, and landed smoothly.

Joyce followed closely behind, and the stone slabs under his feet gave off a slight chill. There were a lot of gravel and dust in the middle of the road, which proved that what Robinson said was true.

After reaching the bottom, the pointer on the compass stopped shaking and pointed straight ahead because there was only one way.

"Let's go, the real entrance to the underground palace is in front, and the agate peacock is over there."

Robinson said: "That bird can use a black flame that can ignite spirituality and is difficult to extinguish. More importantly, it can fly and likes to attack its prey condescendingly in mid-air..."

Joyce nodded secretly and suggested:

"I need your help. In return, I will return your blood and hair to you after the hunt is successful."

"real?"

Robinson suddenly stopped and looked at the other person with questioning eyes.

"Of course." Joyce said affirmatively, and then took out a necklace:

"This is the 'Nightmare Necklace'. It can pull people into dreams silently. It is very effective against flexible creatures. The side effect is that you will sleep all day after using it. You can do divination for verification."

Another magical item. How rich is this guy? It seems that good luck is not as good as reincarnation!

Robinson sighed sadly, and then raised his own questions:

"Why don't you use it yourself?"

"That's my reason." Joyce didn't want to explain more and said flatly:

"You can choose to accept it or not, I just need the hunting to be completed successfully."

"I have no reason to refuse." Robinson took the "Nightmare Necklace".

…………

The agate peacock is an extraordinary creature that is very good at camouflage. Under normal lighting, its feathers look like colorful and crystal clear agate. But once the surrounding environment changes, it will change the color of its feathers to blend itself into it and find the right spot.

Opportunity to attack the prey.

Just like now...

Joyce and Robinson walked together on this stone road until they saw an open space with a stone door in the middle.

Suddenly, there was a burning sensation from above the head. It was a black flame that blended into the surrounding darkness, making it difficult for people to guard against.

But the two of them were already prepared and jumped away from each other.

The next second, the agate peacock hidden in mid-air showed its traces.

Robinson on the right took out his revolver and rushed forward, as if he wanted to use the gun for close combat.

The agate peacock showed human contempt, waved its wings gently, and fanned out flames again, easily burning the enemy in front of it.
