Chapter 517 Farewell

The ancient magic emperors obviously didn't know how to effectively suppress the eldest son, because until they were completely defeated and the eldest son was forced to sleep under the action of the safety device, they had never really found a way to kill this primordial creature. Therefore, after the eldest son fell asleep, the suppressive measures they took were basically a matter of chance: each magic emperor chose a different form of seal in the hope that they would work.

The mountain barriers and lifeless rock giants in the Dragon's Back Mountains have proven to be ineffective. The giant tree of life is said to have withered long ago. Now it seems that only the Sunset Volcano remains as a seal that remains in normal operation and seems to be powerful.

This volcano is pressing on the eldest son. The werewolf wizard king Sanur created a dragnet of lava rivers and magma pillars under the volcano, making them pierce around the eldest son's organs like criss-crossing steel nails. The world deep underground here is far more complicated than the Beinz underground. Deep rock cracks and magma lakes form a fragile but stable balance. As soon as the eldest son wakes up, it will touch the elemental flames on the Sunset Volcano, and then this The entire region will collapse, and the eldest son will be pushed into the magma deep in the mantle.

However, Sanur did not try to directly kill the sleeping eldest son in this way, indicating that he knew that simply pushing into the magma was not enough to kill the monster, which could only cause it to wake up early. Therefore, Hao Ren guessed that the suppressive measures under the Sunset Volcano were just a delaying thing. In the end, what the Magic Emperor was counting on were the "allies of stars" that were destined to never come.

After collecting the tissue samples and signal frequency from the holy coffin, Hao Ren decided to go deep into the place where the eldest son was sleeping to see what was going on. Going forward is already an area that ordinary people cannot enter. Even if you hold the amulet of the church, you may be affected by the dream of the eldest son at any time, so this time he only brought Vivian, Ofra and Archbishop Auburn. Everyone else stayed in the cave and waited.

Originally, Betsy wanted to follow: her professional habits as a mercenary made her feel that she should go deeper, and her spiritual power was no less than that of a high-level knight or monk, and she could move freely in the deep caves. But Hao Ren felt that there was no need to bring too many people, so he asked her to stay with Lily and others.

The four people crawled through the large crack in the rock barrier into the secret room where one of the eldest sons, "sarcoma", was sleeping, and then groped their way through the cave system that extended in all directions. The environment in the deep cave is several times worse than outside. There is unbearable high temperature here, and the air is filled with the pungent smell of sulfur. It is obvious that the magma column is very close. Moreover, when walking here, you will "hear" some strange sounds from time to time, and some chaotic scenes always appear in your mind. This is the eldest son who is talking in his sleep, and anyone who steps in it can't help but be affected.

"This guy seems to be more 'mature' than the one in the Dragon's Back Mountain Range, maybe he is close to 'adult'," Hao Ren made a judgment, "I remember that the eldest son in the Dragon's Back Mountain Range is not as mentally disturbed as this one here. I only have it occasionally. You’ll hear it.”

Ofra nodded: "People have long circulated rumors that the evil spirit of the Magic Emperor sleeps in the Sunset Volcano. The soldiers of the Gray Stone Fortress often hear strange sounds from deep underground in their dreams, but they did not expect this. It was caused by the eldest son’s activities.”

After advancing for a long time, a huge underground rift appeared in front of the four people.

This black rift extends to both sides to the end of sight. The exit of the cave where Hao Ren and the others are located is in the middle of the rift. Huge tentacles can be seen crossing the cliffs of the rift valley like bridges, while dark red magma can be seen slowly flowing below the rift valley. There is even a magma waterfall a few hundred meters away from the cave exit. It hung down from high in the sky, forming a fiery pillar of fire. The red light from the magma illuminated this hellish underground world. Hao Ren looked up and could only see a hazy shadow: it was a roof made of more tentacles intertwined, holding up the rock above. layer.

The air was filled with an unbearable smell, and every breath was so hot that it seemed to set the internal organs on fire. Vivian summoned a burst of frost breath to barely resist the bad air around her, and then released a small bat. The little bat circled around the opposite cliff several times, and when it flew back, its body was as limp as dried meat.

Vivian patted the little bat into her body and frowned: "There is no road ahead. There is only one tentacle connecting the opposite slope like a bridge, but the road is not easy to walk, and the tentacle is a bit thin. .”

"This is a malicious place," Archbishop Auburn took a deep breath, the runes on his skin glistening, "hostility is in the air."

"There's no need to go deeper. This is roughly the core area." Hao Ren shook his head and released the data terminal. "How is the scan of the structural diagram?"

"Complete," the data terminal projected a complex scan of the underground world, showing an ellipsoid-shaped area intertwined with lava, rifts, tentacles, caves, and weird large pieces of biological tissue. It was as twisted and weird as a nightmare, " We’d better get back and think of a solid course of action.”

Hao Ren sighed: "Withdraw."

The expedition team returned to the gray stone fortress and then teleported directly back to the royal capital.

They did not go to the Giant Tree of Life because the situation in the Giant Tree of Life was not complicated and was much easier to solve than the Sunset Volcano. And in one of Hao Ren's action plans, as long as the eldest son under the Sunset Volcano can be eliminated, the cave under the Giant Tree of Life is not a problem at all.

Of course, Hao Ren still asked for some information from Ofra for reference. They were the structural diagrams that the monks of the Huiyao Sect had discovered under the giant tree of life in the past two months, as well as historical documents about the giant tree. No matter if you need it or not... there is never too much information anyway.

Several other accompanying ministers and bishops returned to their respective places. Each had their own situation and needed to report to their boss, while Ofra returned to Betsy's manor with Hao Ren and the others. The female marshal looked a little worried: "How should I report it?"

"Let the king relax, I have a solution," Hao Ren said confidently, "In fact, I had several plans when we were in the cave... But any plan has certain risks, and the situation at Sunset Volcano is very serious. It’s complicated, I have to prevent the magma from erupting.”

"Let's go back and do research, and come back as soon as we have the results. Next time we come back, the problem of eldest sons on this planet should be completely solved," Lily also supported next to Hao Ren with an expert look on her face, "Anyway, the landlord is sure There is a way, he has high technology."

"Are you leaving now?" Ofra glanced at the group of people, and finally her eyes fell on Betsy, "Is she staying?"

"She can't bear to part with the manor real estate here," Hao Ren shrugged, "But for us, traveling through time and space is not much different from going out to make soy sauce. Anyway, Betsy, please look after you more when we are away. Yes, you know this girl has a bit of a brain..."

Betsy glared at him before he finished speaking, and Lily next to her immediately raised her tail and let out a threatening sound of Ulu Ulu in her throat. Hao Ren looked at Lily dumbfounded: "I didn't tell you this time..."

Lily bared her teeth: "But I know you will definitely use me as an example in your next sentence! Who doesn't know your mouth? A dog can't spit out ivory..."

The surroundings suddenly fell silent, and Vivian patted Lily on the shoulder: "You have vomited ivory."

Lily hadn't reacted yet: "Woof?"

Hao Ren pinched Lily's ear and looked at Ofra with a smile: "Also, I would like you to help me keep an eye on the evil cult. I heard that no clues about them have been found yet?"

"They are a loose sect, most likely made up of a dozen small gangs," Ofra shook her head. "I can only confirm that they are still operating in some areas, but they have never been able to catch anyone."

"Keep me alive after you find it," Hao Ren nodded. "I want to study the giant brain they summoned."

"Also remember to forward that letter to the Pope and the King," Vivian reminded at the side, "In it is the real reason we have about the death of the eldest son - the Magic Emperors have been blamed for ten thousand years. , now you want to clean them up. Regardless of whether the big shots above believe it or not, the Magic Emperors are indeed innocent."

Ofra nodded slightly: "I understand."

Ofra cleverly said goodbye before Hao Ren and the others took the initiative to see off the guests, leaving Hao Ren and the others to say goodbye to Betsy. The mercenary girl is still a little reluctant to leave her friends at this time. After all, they have lived together for so long. Even the money-grubbing mercenary has feelings: "You should visit me often, just to resolve the matter of the eldest son. I will come here after I come here - and if there are any exciting and interesting things to do in the future, I will also take me with me. I also want to go on an adventure on a spaceship! Also, bring me some potato chips and Coke when you come next time... "

Hao Ren saw that this girl rarely showed such an appearance, and immediately felt very interesting: "If you are so reluctant, then just come back to Earth with us."

Betsy jumped back more than a meter and hugged the doorpost without letting go: "Be careful and safe on the road and have a good trip. Don't send her away - I'd better be a wealthy person here."

Hao Ren: "..."

After everyone left Betsy's manor, Vivian asked: "Should we go back to Andre Castle directly from the Allamanda portal? Take a spaceship or teleport there?"

"No, there is one more thing." Hao Ren raised his head slightly and looked at the sky. "There is a more important ruin that I haven't seen yet."
