Chapter 1724 Traps

Fully prepared, Cato led the way, followed by Joan, Cosette and Patty, and walked carefully into the bedroom of the "Sultan of the Lake".

Through the wet fog, they came to the bedroom of Sanluar, a huge bath inlaid with pearls and precious stones.

There is a golden cage on the left side of the bath, about five feet high, the cage is empty, presumably it was originally used to imprison Patty.

On the right side of the bath is a smaller silver cage, in which a creature resembling a jellyfish is imprisoned, with a pair of tentacles-like eyestalks erected on the top of its head, holding up two big black eyes.

Joan noticed a faint magical aura emanating from the silver cage, and after a little identification, he recognized the magic alarm. However, the guards in the palace had either heard the news and fled, or had been transformed into "human bombs" by him, even if the alarm was triggered, it would have no effect.

In addition, Fu Lu was also given some kind of ability to block telepathy. Joan's understanding of psychic abilities was far less profound than arcane art, and he couldn't recognize what kind of ability it was.

Patty saw furu being locked in a cage from a distance, and hurriedly called out loudly.

Fu Lu heard the movement and turned around in the air. Two eye stalks came out from the gap in the cage. He widened his eyes and looked at Patty through a layer of mist, chirping and cheering in surprise.

Cato strode forward, held up the pincers, and was about to smash the silver cage to release Fulu, but Patty's face suddenly changed, and he quickly hugged the crab monk's arm to prevent him from destroying the cage.

"Don't go there yet!"

"Patty, what's the matter?" Cosette asked in surprise.

"Dangerous!" Patty replied eagerly.

"Danger?" Cosette looked around, seeing nothing unusual, "Where is the danger?"

"I don't know either..." Patty hesitated for a moment, then added in a low voice, "But Fulu did warn us like this!"

Cosette and Cato looked at each other, and looked up at the cage, but they couldn't understand the meaning of furu chirping.

"Can you understand what Fu Lu is saying?" Joan asked the underworld girl.

Patty shook his head, and replied with a bitter face: "Fulu can't speak, and usually uses telepathy to communicate with me, but it doesn't send telepathy to me at this moment..."

"Then how do you know she's warning us?"

"Look at her color," Patty pointed at the little monster circling around in the cage, "Look! Fulu's skin color keeps changing, from red representing anger to blue representing sadness, and then red again . . . such a loop, with a distinct beat."

"This seems to be a string of codes..." Joan frowned and pondered.

"I don't know any codes, but Fulu should be happy to see us, but she hasn't shown a pink complexion that represents happiness so far, not even once, which is very abnormal!"

Patty trembled slightly with excitement, tears welling up in her eyes.

"Fu Lu's abnormal behavior is probably implying that there is a trap here, warning us to leave quickly!"

Mythological Induction: Discover Tier 5 Mythical Creatures!

...

The palm of Joan's left hand was slightly hot, and the sudden "mythical induction" aroused his vigilance. He turned his head to look at the place where the induction came from, but his sight was blocked by a wall.

"Dr. Vader! Look here, something seems wrong!"

Cosette tugged at Joan's sleeve, reminding him to focus on the silver cage ahead.

Behind the cage, in the jewel-encrusted bath, a large cloud of gray fog rises, and a strange figure gradually emerges in it, with red lights on its head from bottom to top, like three lanterns arranged vertically.

Under the light of this red light, the figure in the mist gradually became clear. It was 30 feet long from head to tail. It looked like a huge mutated catfish. Its gray-green skin had no scales, and it shone because it was covered with a layer of transparent mucus. .

Four long tentacles extended from both sides of this strange fish's body, twisting and wriggling, and three huge monocular eyes were arranged vertically on the face, shining with a strange red light.

Joan looked at this strange fish curiously, and found that it was similar to the aboleth illustrations he had read in books. It seems that this ancient race not only inherited memory, but also inherited physical characteristics from generation to generation. almost no change at all.

"Patty, this ugly fish is Shanruyal?" Cosette asked in a low voice.

The underworld girl's face was pale, and she nodded her head suppressing her fear.

Cosette showed confusion: "But, why..."

"Moth, what you're going to say next is, 'Why did Shanruyal, who went on a long journey, suddenly return to its palace', isn't it?"

The mythical aboleth spoke suddenly, and its three eyes were fixed on Cosette, revealing a sense of mockery.

Although this monster looks hideous and terrifying, everyone has to admit that its voice is clear and elegant, very beautiful.

This indistinguishable voice made Joann recall that when he accompanied the countess to the opera theater not long ago, the eunuch singer from the Seablue Kingdom sang in this tone.

"You, how did you guess what I wanted to say?"

Cosette covered her mouth in astonishment.

Shanruyal smiled coldly.

"Actually, I have never left this palace. You must still have doubts. Why do I pretend to be out when I am in the palace?"

Patty also couldn't help covering her mouth tightly, trying to hide the thoughts that Shanruyal just said.

"This question, I will tell you the answer later, but before that, I have to take back something."

Shanruyar turned his head to look at the Crabman monk, with a strange silver light in his eyes, as if he was showing some kind of psychic power.

"Cato, my loyal chief guard, you have completed the task I entrusted you with, now take my 'Little Nightingale' and come back to me."

Cato looked dull, and his burly body couldn't help shaking violently.

"Cato! Are you okay?" Patty asked with concern.

Cato didn't make a sound, and suddenly stretched out his left hand, grabbed Patty, and dragged her to Sanluar forcibly.

"Cato! Wake up! Don't be fooled by that monster!"

Cosette tried to wake up the Crab Monk who was behaving strangely, but was pushed away by him with a rough wave of his arm.

Patty cried out anxiously, trying to dissuade Cato from returning to Shanruyar, but the crab monk was indifferent.

"Who do you want to 'wake up' again? In fact, Cato was in a state of being 'bewitched' these days when he was walking with you, and he was not awakened by me until now. Recalling his loyalty to me, of course he will Come back to me." Shanruyar sneered and mocked the two goblin girls, "The next thing you want to ask is... who bewitched Cato, turned him from a loyal guard into a traitor, and dared to break open Cage, steal my pets."
