The Devil’s Cage

Chapter 257 Impulse

Seeing the surprised expressions of Qin Ran and Pierre, Herbert smiled wryly.

"That 'weapon' is effective against night monsters, but it is even more effective against humans!"

"Whoever uses that 'weapon' will transform himself into a new night-species monster while destroying the night-species monster!"

"Simply put, the night monsters we are facing now were originally human beings, and the original night monster was one of the former guardians of the ancient city of Aesop!"

"And, according to the description on the stone tablet..."

"That 'weapon' was originally manufactured only for the ambition of the emperor of the Nick dynasty to live forever, and the night-species monster is just an inconspicuous companion among them!"

As Herbert said, the wry smile on the corner of his mouth became more intense.

When he saw the words recorded by the guardian of the ancient city on the stone tablet, he didn't want to believe it, but his reason told him that these were all true.

However, these are not important!

The important thing is that the content on the stele, apart from what he said, has even more terrifying content.

Although the terrible content disappeared without a trace as the stele was destroyed, Herbert shuddered when he recalled the content above.

How could that be something a normal human being would do?

The old scholar asked this question more than once.

"In order to live forever, a monster like Yezhong was created?"

"How can this be?"

Pierre shook his head in disbelief.

"Moreover, it's just one of the accompanying creatures..."

"Are there any other accompanying creatures introduced above?"

Kieran caught the point of Herbert's words.

At the same time, the scene in the room of the dark son in Burr appeared in his mind.

The layout and the entrants are familiar with each other.

If both sides are guardians, it makes sense.

As for that package?

It should be the 'weapon' they have been looking for.

"The 'weapon' that fell into the night monster, the stone tablet in front of me..."

"It is absolutely impossible to just introduce some simple history!"

Kieran thought inwardly, looking at Herbert with a questioning look.

He believed that if it was just some historical introduction, the night monster would not have laid out it so carefully.

In other words, the leader of the night monster, who was once one of the guardians, would not go to war for these historical introductions.

Even if there is a gap in the inheritance of the guardians of Aesop's ancient city, Kieran believes that this kind of historical introduction must be passed on by word of mouth.

Therefore, there must be something on the stele.

Herbert opened his mouth, but said nothing.

Looking at Herbert's expression, Kieran knew very well that the other party was undoubtedly hiding something, but Kieran shrugged his shoulders and didn't want to ask further questions.

persecuted a revered elder.

Qin Ran couldn't do such a thing.

Even if the other party is just an aborigine.

What's more, thanks to the other party, his main task was able to be completed so smoothly.

When Herbert narrated part of the contents of the stele before, the system prompt appeared.

[Herbert tells the secrets of the ancient city of Aesop, the exploration speed of the ancient city of Aesop +3%]

[Main task: explore at least 20% of the ancient city of Aesop within four weeks, with a completion rate of 22.5%]

[The main task is completed! 】

[The player will leave the fourth instance in five minutes...]

[Please bring items that you can carry as take-out items! 】

(Note: Items that exceed the upper limit of their own carrying will be automatically recognized as items that cannot be taken out of the dungeon!)

...

Looking at the marked countdown, Kieran looked at the landslide corridor where the sound of excavation kept coming out.

The digging speed of night monsters is much faster than expected.

"Herbert, where did it explode?"

"We have to leave! Those guys are coming in!"

Qin Ran reminded.

"Don't explode, go here!"

"The stele records another way out of here!"

As Herbert said, he quickly walked towards the statue.

Pierre and the big guys followed immediately.

Qin Ran stood still and did not move. His eyes looked towards the collapsed corridor, and the sound of digging became more and more clear.

"2567, hurry up!"

Looking at the exit that appeared after the statue moved, Peel shouted.

"Thank you, Herbert, for inviting me. However, I think our journey together needs to come to an end!"

Qin Ran pointed to the landslide corridor where the soil and rocks were loose.

"If you want to leave here safely, at least someone has to stop them."

"I think I'm the best candidate!"

Qin Ran continued with a smile.

"2567 you..."

Herbert and Pierre were startled.

The big guys looked at Qin Ran for no reason.

"Three, have a good trip!"

"Don't worry, I won't die so easily!"

"Remember to 'close the door'!"

After Qin Ran waved goodbye to the three of them, he turned around directly, his eyes scanned the explosives he had arranged around him, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

"The biggest harvest is coming!"

Qin Ran whispered to himself in his heart.

Herbert and Pierre looked at Kieran's back and froze in place.

The two people who didn't know what Qin Ran said was true, instinctively thought that Qin Ran was sacrificing himself to create a chance for them to escape.

The eye sockets of the two were slightly red, and a warm current rose from their chests and blocked their throats, making them unable to speak a word.

"Walk!"

Finally, Peel, who was a soldier, tapped Herbert on the shoulder.

He has seen too many life and death on the battlefield, and he knows exactly what he should do now.

Can't let 2567 die in vain!

With this in mind, Peel grabbed Herbert and jumped into the secret passage under the statue, and the big guy followed.

boom!

When the figures of the three jumped into the secret passage, Pierre did not forget Qin Ran's instruction, and the statue slowly returned to its original position.

And just when the statue returned to its original position, the night monster broke through the collapsed corridor, pouring in like a tide.

The kerosene lamp in Qin Ran's hand aimed straight at the pile of explosives in the corner and threw it out.

However, the kerosene lamp in mid-air suddenly froze.

It was as if a pair of invisible hands held it.

"Great sacrifice!"

"When I was a guardian, such a sacrifice was respectable, but now?"

"I will also pay my respects - I will taste your flesh and blood!"

The sonorous and powerful words, like metal rubbing, echoed in the underground hall.

A tall figure walked out from among the many night monsters.

It has a tough and resolute face, according to human appearance.

The other party scanned the surroundings with divine eyes.

"Sure enough, there are other secret ways. That damn old guy has never trusted anyone, even if I am his successor!"

"The monument of the sage is broken?"

"It doesn't matter, it's just a little troublesome!"

The other party's eyes only stayed on the blown-up stone tablet for a moment, and then completely stared at Qin Ran who was surrounded by night monsters.

The owner of those eyes had a malicious and sarcastic look on his face.

Then, the other party suddenly showed a joking smile like a cat catching a mouse.

"Do you want to know why I said it doesn't matter?"

"Because the stone tablet of the sage is broken, but there is still a living tablet of the sage. Herbert decided to blow it up after seeing the tablet of the sage, right?"

"That old guy must have written all those appalling things on it, scaring our scholar!"

"But that's the fun!"

"I can dig out more things from his memory little by little. What I like most is this process of unraveling!"

"Are you curious how I read other people's memories?"

The other party snapped their fingers while talking.

Snapped!

Amidst the crisp sound, a palm-sized crystal with colorful rays of light appeared above the opponent's palm out of thin air.

"Because I have it!"

"It gave me strength, allowing me to control humans and night species!"

"With it, I am the king of the world!"

The other party yelled in a maddened manner.

Qin Ran squinted his eyes, looking at the colorful crystal suspended in the air.

There was a sudden impulse in my heart.

He wants this crystal!
