Release that Witch

Chapter 1053 Source of Glory

The guide and the liaison officer immediately declined the invitation, especially the former, who had unknowingly moved away from the entrance. If he hadn't been stared at by the soldiers, he would have fled long ago.

Rosser did not choose to wear that weird outfit, "I don't have to, just keep one as a backup."

"Are you sure?" Sean frowned.

"The resistance and self-healing abilities of the Divine Punishment Warrior are much stronger than those of mortals. Ordinary evil diseases and poisons are ineffective against us. I don't think a disease that can last mortals ten years can threaten the Divine Punishment Body. And this is also the most common thing in the ruins." She shrugged, "On the contrary, this jumpsuit will make me move inconveniently and my perception will decrease. Wearing it in an unknown situation will undoubtedly tie up my hands and feet, so I don't want to do it. Besides, if we really encounter a dilemma, it would be better to have a spare set of clothes so that someone from the outside can come to the rescue - although such a situation is extremely unlikely."

This is a very good reason. The God's Punishment Witch can only rely on vision and hearing to perceive the environment, so she is particularly dependent on them. Hundreds of years of training have allowed them to even judge the moisture and flexibility of the soil through the sound of footsteps on the ground. Akima had already seen this on the road.

Because of this, protective clothing that only slightly covers the ears and eyes for ordinary people may have a much more serious impact on the God's Punishment Witch.

"But what if... it's really a curse from the gods?" Akima asked worriedly.

Rosser laughed - it was the same smile as before, with a ferocious look on his lips, "Let's not talk about whether a leather coat can resist the gods. If it does, just let it come towards me. I would like to see it. , when millions of Taqilais are buried on the fertile plains, what else can the gods curse us with!"

"I understand," Sean nodded after a moment of silence, "Then let's go."

Akima took a deep breath and followed the guards into the stone door.

The interior of the ruins was not as moist as expected. The mud that seeped in from the entrance occupied most of the passage. At first, everyone could only hunch forward, but as they gradually deepened, the passage became wider. Although it was still going down, the slope was much gentler.

Within the scope of the torch, it can be seen that the stone walls on both sides have been severely damaged. Tree roots and plant vines have pried open the cracks in the bricks and extended in from the outside, blocking the passage in various directions. Rosser, who was walking at the front, used an ax to chop and slash, clearing the way forward for everyone. If it hadn't been for the Divine Punishment Witch to clear the way, this downhill journey alone would have taken most of the day.

"This place has indeed been abandoned for a long time, but it was not completely closed because the team was cursed, as Naf said," Sean said suddenly, "At least for a period of time, it should have been visited by people. "

"What did you see?" Rosser asked curiously.

"There are torch slots on the wall." He pointed to the waist of the wall. "The texture on the hole surface is much clearer than that on the wall, which shows that the two were formed very far apart. If it is just a temporary shelter from the rain, they don't need to do it every ten or so Step, just leave a torch on the wall?"

There is no doubt that digging a torch trough is only necessary if people are required to come in and out of the place frequently and for a long time.

"Heh, let me tell you, as long as there is a treasure, how could the local lord not be interested?" Rosser sneered twice, "That mortal guide is not necessarily lying, but the rumor itself has been processed."

"What I'm worried about is whether the thing His Majesty asked us to look for is the treasure he talks about..." Sean muttered, "If there are many sources, how many have been transported away and transported again in the past hundred years? Where? According to His Majesty, that is the key to creating the Glory of the Sun, and we must not let it fall into the hands of others."

"These questions can only be concluded after Miss Akima leads us to find the first source." Rosser's body suddenly paused slightly, "...I think we should not be far from the goal."

The soil underfoot finally receded, revealing the stone steps buried underneath.

The group's forward speed suddenly accelerated a lot.

About two-quarters of an hour later, the ground illuminated by firelight in front was suddenly swallowed up by darkness, as if there was a black wall cutting off everything there.

"That's..." Akima said in surprise.

"Big hole," Rosser walked into the darkness holding a torch and disappeared without a trace.

Next up is Sean.

"Please watch your step," warned the soldier guarding the rear.

"Well," Akima took a deep breath and walked towards the darkness - before agreeing to His Majesty Roland, she always thought that she was not lacking in courage, but now it seems that she is much stronger than Sean and Rosser. difference. Perhaps it was this gap that kept her from making up her mind to leave Sleeping Island.

"To put it bluntly, it's just cowardice."

The nightingale's words echoed in my ears again.

But this time, it is no longer simple satire, but has a different meaning.

Darkness enveloped her.

After about a few breaths, her eyes adjusted to the incomprehensibly thick darkness again. The torches of the two people in front of her also came into her eyes again, but the firelight seemed to have shrunk a lot, leaving only a dim orange circle. red.

"Is this the bottom floor of the ruins?" Rosser looked around, while a faint echo came from above his head, "It's not very big, no more than two hundred steps in length."

"Can you see the border?" Sean asked.

"This is nothing to us. As long as we stay underground for a hundred years, we will either adapt to the environment or become completely blind."

Only then did Azima understand what the other party meant by reminding her of the "big hole". After entering this place from the passage, as the space suddenly expanded, the firelight lost its reflection from the stone wall, so it appeared much dimmer. In addition, there is a certain angle between the crossing and the cave, so the person walking in front seems to have suddenly disappeared.

"How far is the source from us?" Rosser looked back at her.

Akima quickly took out the coins from her pocket, and the green light instantly occupied her entire field of vision! From the dome to the feet, countless emerald green light spots flow happily, depicting the outline of the entire ruins. It seemed to be a fictional world, and the originally invisible dark ground became clear and clear. Under the outline of the light spots, she could even see the shape of each floor tile!

The surrounding walls were covered with grotesque fluorescent murals. It was a scene that she could not describe in words. Its content seemed crazy and chaotic, and it was definitely not made by human hands. Under the mural, there are rows of iron cages with mountains of bones inside. It is unknown how many lives were imprisoned here and then died in despair.

About a hundred steps away from them, the ground sank, forming a huge pit. A bright beam of light rose from the pit, reflecting the coin in her hand, but it was many times brighter.

This was the first time she had seen such a spectacle!

"Aqima?" Seeing that she didn't answer, Sean turned around and said, "Are you okay?"

Akima couldn't help feeling that her throat was a little dry. She licked her lips and replied with difficulty, "We...are already here."

"Ah? Are you saying that the source has been found?" Rosser spread his hands, "Where is it?"

"We are now...in the source."

The witch murmured softly.
