Chapter 1207
Tom immediately said, "No problem."
Then the group continued to go deeper.
...
The Lord of Montilfarli has been excavating and exploring this temple for some time.
Therefore, the dangers on the road ahead have been basically cleared.
Unless you encounter a monster living underground halfway, there will be no danger along the way.
But the process of moving forward is not boring.
In addition to Tom and Jerry always livening up the atmosphere, the special buildings and various mysterious pictures and texts encountered on the road are also very attractive.
Dak recorded and checked while trying to find some inspiration that can be used to improve [Sin IV].
Therefore, they did not rush in a straight line, but tried to detour the places they had explored as much as possible.
Half a day later.
Dak took out his pocket watch and took a look, only to find that it was already half past eleven in the afternoon.
Everyone smiled at each other, and then found a relatively flat open space and camped on the spot.
Aurora took off her oversized backpack from the back of the [Heavy Armored Rhino], and then took out the kitchen utensils one by one, and actually assembled a stove on the spot.
"It's a pity that we didn't encounter the underground monster."
Aurora set up the stove and felt a little regretful.
Oli nodded very much in agreement, and started to boil water and heat the pot with her.
Although... but...
There are indeed two chefs hidden in this small team.
These two are responsible for cooking.
Tom and Jerry will pick up firewood.
Angry is responsible for vigilance.
And Dak and Lily are responsible for tasting.
Everyone has a clear division of labor and is in harmony.
Laughter and joy filled the underground.
...
After eating and drinking, they rested on the spot.
When they set out again, it was already one o'clock in the afternoon.
The group continued to move towards the depths. Although they were still in high spirits, they had a faint sense of laziness.
At about half past one, they finally encountered the first crisis after entering the temple.
It was not an underground monster, but a pattern on a wall that came to life!
…
In the depths of the temple, the surrounding walls could no longer be seen. Some areas were full of houses like in the city, while another area was a wasteland. When you looked up, you could only see the top of the cave.
However, in such a wasteland, there was a wall that looked extremely dilapidated.
Half of the wall collapsed, and the other half was tilted due to the change in the terrain.
The overall wall was less than two meters high and three meters wide, and it was not noticeable at all.
When Dak and others passed by here, Tom and Jerry didn't even mention it.
But with the strategy of sweeping everything without missing a single one, Dak still walked over - after all, there were still some things painted on that wall!
Then the pattern painted on the wall suddenly drilled out of the wall, and the originally messy lines formed a big snake in the process of drilling out.
The moment the big snake was successfully formed, the lines on its body instantly emitted black light, and the body of the big snake was covered with ink, and it suddenly became a giant python!
The giant python was smelly and had a turbid breath. It shrank and expanded its body, and then pounced on Dak.
Fortunately, Dak's reaction was also very fast. He almost instantly drew out the holy sword at his waist and slashed it like lightning... Well, the white light that flashed instantly purified the giant python, and even the broken wall was blasted into slag.
Dak couldn't help but look at the wall fragments on the ground with regret, and hurriedly asked the [Magic Secretary] if there was any record.
It was not until the [Magic Secretary] nodded three times that he recovered.
And Oli, who killed the giant python with one blow, also walked quickly and looked at the fragments scattered on the ground cautiously.
Tom and Jerry hurried over, with incredible faces.
Tom said, "I should have checked this wall."
Dak frowned slightly and asked, "No reaction when checking?"
"Yes." Tom said firmly, "I even climbed up to check, and there was no reaction."
Dak nodded and said, "That should be a trap triggered by certain conditions. It seems that we have to be more cautious in the next exploration... huh?"
He suddenly saw Jerry walking out quickly, picking up a piece of debris from the ground and looking at it carefully, so he couldn't help but walk over to take a closer look.
But he saw that on the fragment in Jerry's hand, there was a complete snake pupil!
But in Dak's impression, there were all messy lines on the wall, and there was no such specific pattern.
He was confused, so he summoned the [Magic Secretary] and turned to the page with the wall pattern.
——There is indeed a snake pupil, but it is located at the corner of the wall.
And except for this snake pupil, the rest of the lines are messy, and there are no formation runes.
After Dak looked carefully, he knew that he could not parse effective information from these lines.
So he took out a bag from his bag, put the fragment with the snake pupils into the bag, sealed it, and stuffed it into the backpack.
"Keep going."
Dak raised his head, not surprised but happy.
Exploring, exploring, the most fearful thing is to have no harvest!
...
After this sudden encounter, the atmosphere of the team became more active.
Professor Lily, who was lazily floating in the air, started jumping up and down again.
Only ten minutes later, they encountered the second crisis.
It was a trap triggered by Aurora's kick when they entered a small path that only allowed three people to walk side by side.
Before today, although Aurora knew a lot about this underground temple, she had never been deep inside. At most, she had walked around the temple before.
Therefore, like Dak and others, she was in such a deep place for the first time.
The mechanism she stepped on was not only stepped on by her, but also by Tom and [Heavy Armored Rhino].
However, Tom, who had the ability to sense crisis, did not feel any crisis.
[Heavy Armored Rhino] stepped on it so hard, but it did not trigger the mechanism.
Instead, Aurora walked by, and two big snakes suddenly emerged from both sides of the path, one on the left and one on the right, rushing towards her.
The two big snakes were ejected at a very fast speed, and even Aurora only had time to raise her hands - and then swung them down heavily!
"Bang! Bang!"
Dak was walking in front, and just as he was about to turn around, he heard two loud noises. When he looked again, the two big snakes had lost their heads. They twitched twice on the ground and turned into black smoke and dissipated.
Everyone looked at each other, and then they immediately accelerated, quickly crossed the path, and came back to a more open place.
…
After these two encounters, Dak had already made a guess.
“These two traps are likely to target the elves. To be more precise, they are for the Sun Elf and the Ice Moon Elf.”
“Although I don’t know why there are traps for the favored in the temples of the Sun God and the Moon God, it seems very likely now.”
“So next, I, Aurora, and Professor Lily have to be more careful.”
Aurora nodded seriously.
Professor Lily also nodded desperately.
But when Dak saw her expression, he had a bad feeling.
Sure enough, in the next journey, Professor Lily began her “desperately stepping on traps”.
So one by one, all the traps were activated by her, and the journey became more and more thrilling.
…
Along the way, at nearly three o’clock, they finally met a temple expedition team.
“It’s Captain Katrin of Team Nine.” Tom leaned close to Dak’s ear and said.
Unconsciously, he had changed from reporting to Aurora all the time to reporting to Dak.
Team Nine has more than 30 people.
According to Tom, each member of these expedition teams can take charge of their own affairs and is much more powerful than the gatekeepers.
But the members of this team are in a particularly bad state now. The team leader named "Catlin" ran in the front and began to remind them to flee before they got close.
When they got closer, the team leader probably saw that Dak looked unfamiliar, so he continued to shout: "I don't know who you are, but it's very dangerous here, turn around and evacuate immediately!"
When she got closer, she finally saw Aurora and said in surprise: "Reorganize the defense line and protect the young city lord!"
The more than 30 people immediately adjusted their formation.
Some people spread out to both sides, some turned around instantly, and some stopped immediately.
In a blink of an eye, the more than 30 people formed an arc-shaped defense line in front of Dak and others, facing the rolling dust.
Captain Katrin came running over and asked anxiously, "Aurora, why are you here?"
Aurora was not panicked: "Aunt Katrin, what happened?"
Katrin looked around and her eyes quickly stopped on Professor Lily, but she kept saying, "It's the Sharons! There is a group of Sharons frozen in a valley. We thought they strayed here and were frozen to death. Unexpectedly, as soon as someone approached, the ice began to melt, and at least hundreds of Sharons woke up from the ice. Although we are not afraid of Sharons, if we fight with hundreds of Sharons underground, it will inevitably cause damage, so we chose to avoid it temporarily."
"If it's just Sharons..." Aurora looked at Dak.
Dak smiled and nodded, and then ordered: "Angry, go there, don't let the group of Sharons have a chance to cause damage."
Angry nodded slightly, and walked all the way from the back to the front. Under the astonished gaze of more than 30 people in Team 9, he rushed towards the roaring group of Sharons alone.
...
Two minutes later, more than a hundred sand dragons were chopped into pieces by the flying water blades and buried forever in the sand.
Angry returned silently and retreated to the end of the team.
...
The members of Team 9, who maintained their formation, waited until Angry passed by them, then they suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the ground without any image.
Captain Katrin touched her nose awkwardly and asked Aurora, "Little Rola, don't you want to introduce us?"
Aurora said, "Aunt Katrin, you haven't reported to the mansion these days, otherwise we should have known each other."
Katrin laughed and said, "It's hard to get a few days off, of course I have to seize the time to drink a few more cups, how can I have time to report to the mansion?"
Aurora sighed and said seriously, "Drinking is harmful to the body."
Katrin responded lightly, "Not drinking makes me sad."
Aurora had to change the subject: "Can you take us to the bottom of the valley? I'm interested in the spell that can freeze Sharon but not die."
"Of course there is no problem, but..." Katrin paused, probably wanting to say that they should wait until they have explored, but because of the extraordinary force that Angri just showed, she suddenly couldn't say it.
Aurora took the opportunity to introduce the identities of both parties.
When introducing Dak, Katrin suddenly said, "Are you Dak Dimon?"
Dak glanced at her and smiled: "What's wrong?"
"No, nothing." Katrin smiled and patted Dak's shoulder vigorously, saying with satisfaction, "You are very good."
