Chapter 296 Lava Banshee

……

The song was melodious and clear, with an indescribable sadness.

It seemed to have crossed countless time and space and quietly came to everyone's ears.

The strange thing is.

The song clearly came from the abyss under the mountain.

But the feeling that fell into everyone's ears seemed to be directly ringing in your heart, without any sense of distance, any noise, and even no echo.

Quite clean and transparent.

Against the backdrop of the song, other sounds seemed to become extremely small and completely insignificant.

"It's the voice of Naga."

The first person to speak was still Roland.

His words directly pulled everyone back to reality from the song:

"It has a certain charm, but because the distance is too far, it is very slight, and it's not a big problem."

Carmela looked at Roland with some doubts:

"Are you so sure?"

Roland nodded confidently:

"Because I slept with her."

As soon as this was said, a few surprised eyes were cast beside him.

Fortunately, Matthew and Carmela have long been accustomed to it.

The former asked thoughtfully:

"Is it the Naga Queen? Or the female general?"

Roland smiled and said:

"It must be the Naga Queen. Only she has such a penetrating voice."

"Should I say it, her voice is really good..."

Carmela looked at him with a strange look, but in the end she said nothing.

Roland listened for a while.

Then he began to interpret it seriously:

"This is a ballad used by the Naga to praise the world-destroying twin snakes, Bruch. Rather than a ballad, it is a sacrificial prayer. The original Naga gained power from Bruch, and also obtained the evil ritual of transforming the Naga from Him."

"Generally speaking, this hymn will only be used one to three months before the large-scale transformation ceremony."

"It seems that the Naga Kingdom has been making a lot of trouble these days..."

Matthew understood what Roland meant.

No matter where the sound of this hymn came from, behind the sound of the song, there will definitely be a series of rituals for the transformation of the original Naga.

"So Bruchi is the Dusk Creation? The one sealed in the trench of the Endless Ocean?"

Matthew asked.

Roland nodded:

"He is also the one who is suppressed the most by the gods."

Matthew understood.

He had learned about the Dusk Creation who created the original body Naga through various channels before.

Chen called it the World-Destroying Twin Snakes, and Roland simply reported its name.

It was at this moment that he suddenly realized.

It turned out that this Bruchi had paid special attention to him with Garan a long time ago!

As the one who was in a bad situation among the Dusk Creations.

The World-Destroying Twin Snakes Bruchi was the creator of the original body Naga, and Naga was different from Medusa. The former was a chaotic life created by the Dusk Creation, while the latter was a naturally formed mythical creature.

Perhaps Bruchi had referred to Medusa when creating Naga.

But these two creatures are still far apart in essence.

"Medusa was found in the treasure chest, and the Naga's singing was heard under the suspension bridge. Is it just a coincidence?"

Matthew became more cautious.

He took the time to check his following list.

Wow.

There are only thirteen dusk creatures in total, which is extremely rare in the world of Eindor, but five of them have paid special attention to Matthew!

They are -

Galan, who is sealed in the shadow world, is a bloody slug. His domain is shadow, distortion and killing. He is fanatically pursued by evil monks in the Far East;

The crazy second hand, who is sealed in the arcane wilderness, was formerly the Loa of the God of Luck. His domain is magic, madness and time. This guy has a deep infiltration into the arcane wilderness and the fairy garden. He is also an old lover of Isabel. His strength and purpose are unfathomable;

Then there is the world-destroying twin snakes Bruch. He is not only the creator of the original body Naga, but also suspected of having traded with King Mingdan. He is the source of the curse on the Sioux people and now has a profound influence on the Naga Kingdom;

The fourth dusk creation is a guy named Axitana. You don’t know until you see it. Matthew realized that Axitana was the one he had just paid attention to, and he didn’t know through what channel;

The fifth dusk creation has only three question marks.

This is a sign that Matthew lacks knowledge of it.

In addition to the dusk creation,

There are also a large number of gods and middle and high-level officials from other forces in the outer plane on Matthew's special attention list.

"There should be many who secretly pay attention to me but I haven't discovered it."

"Damn, the mechanism of shielding the outer plane's vision must be further improved, otherwise I have to wear the Star Weaving Robe wherever I go!"

Matthew's eyes withdrew from the data column.

Luo Lan continued to explain:

"We don't need to pay attention to this song. It is very far away from us. The arrival of the song is just an accident in nature-

Have you heard of the Sea Gate?

It is a very strange space-time speed flow that only exists in the ocean.

Creatures recognized by the sea can reach another Sea Gate through one Sea Gate.

And there are at least three Sea Gates in the Arun Sea where the Naga Kingdom is located.

I suspect there is one underneath.

Since the Sea Gate is essentially a time-space velocity flow, its carrier properties are higher than others, so if someone uses these two Sea Gates recently, it is possible that the Naga singing from the Arun Inland Sea can be transmitted down here. .

But these have nothing to do with us.

We just have to wait until the singing ends and then go over there.

The reason for waiting.

Just for safety reasons. "

Stanley looked at the bottom of the cliff with some curiosity.

But there was a faint light of fire under the cliff.

Those firelights were like floating fragments, making it hard to see clearly. Other than that, there was thick and sticky darkness.

Stanley asked thoughtfully:

"I heard that with just one Feather Falling Technique, you have a chance to slowly fall from the upper level of the underground space into the center of the earth."

Lorraine patted him on the shoulder:

"I can add a feather falling technique to you, do you want to try it?"

Look at Luo Lan smiling.

Stanley couldn't help but shudder, and then resolutely refused:

"forget it."

"I'm just hearing about it."

Luo Lan showed a trace of regret:

"If you jump, I can take care of Julie and the kids for you."

Stanley raised his eyebrows.

Luo Lan smiled and said:

"Just kidding, I don't like kids!"

"I just want to tell you that successfully entering the Underdark just by relying on the Feather Falling Technique is something that can only happen under the most ideal circumstances."

"In fact, the situation in the underground space is extremely complicated. If you jump deeper, it is very likely that you will not land until the effect of the Feather Falling Technique disappears, so it is natural for you to fall into a ball of meat."

"The more dangerous thing is that when you go deeper than three hundred meters underground, you may encounter the gaze of the dark ancient god huddled underground. After that, all the laws of time and space you encounter may be slightly affected. If you tamper with it, you may be permanently lost in an underground maze with no way to find the exit, or the period of time you have experienced will be rolled into a loop and then repeated indefinitely.”

"The brutal underground races and harsh natural environment have never been the most dangerous places in the Dark Territory. Ordinary people encounter random events that are bound to escape death."

After listening.

Everyone looked into the abyss with more awe.

In order to reduce the slight impact of Naga's singing, Stanley's two younger brothers even plugged their ears with cloth strips.

In comparison.

Matthew's immortals have shown unique advantages in fighting against these.

The undead are directly immune to Naga's singing.

Only A Bing seemed a little unusual.

He walked around in place, as if he had fallen into some pre-set automatic program, and his movements seemed sluggish and mechanical.

But anyone can feel the violent aura brought by this skeleton.

Seeing this, Matthew could only gently comfort A Bing.

Naga is the natural enemy of Sword Dancer, so it’s no wonder that A Bing looks so proud every time he bumps into Naga.

"Speaking of which, A Bing's advanced mission should really be done, and by the way, Chen's commission can be completed."

"When the work here is over, if the Jade Cangting side has not reached a conclusion, you might as well let Luo Lan lead the way and go to talk to Queen Naga..."

Between thoughts.

Matthew couldn't help but look at everyone in Gemstone Bay again.

There was nothing unusual about Stanley and his two younger brothers;

Linden was hiding in the corner alone, talking to himself.

Matthew took a few steps closer and found that the other party was encouraging himself in Elvish. These words were repeated over and over again, sometimes inconsistent and sometimes unclear--

It's almost like "I am the best!", "Everyone else is wrong!", "Only I am righteous", "It is not shameful to bow my head occasionally", "I will be reborn soon"...

This guy is really crazy.

Matthew noticed that the most unusual thing about Lyndon was his changeable emotions. Sometimes he was passionate and excited, sometimes sensitive and suspicious. Sometimes he was courageous and claimed to be a messenger of justice, and sometimes he was suddenly cowardly and as timid as a mouse. .

It is not unusual to isolate these strange qualities.

But blended into one person.

It seems very fragmented.

"There are no other souls in his body, and there are no signs of schizophrenia. Apart from the brand of Aether Abandoned, he looks like a normal person..."

Matthew composed himself.

It seems that most of the anomalies in Linden still fall on this etheric abandoned disciple.

When he subconsciously shifted his gaze from Lyndon to Daisy.

But suddenly I noticed that Daisy's lips were also moving!

More importantly.

The opening and closing of her lips seemed to be in sync with the distant singing coming from underground!

Matthew narrowed his eyes but said nothing.

On the contrary, Daisy seemed to sense his gaze and suddenly turned her head to look at Matthew.

Seeing this, Matthew simply asked:

"What are you doing?"

Daisy pulled her hair draped over her shoulders, and then smiled softly:

"When I was working in the Free Islands, I heard some sailors singing Naga songs."

"This is one of them."

"I thought this song was very nice, and I couldn't help but sing along for a short while."

"What's wrong?"

Matthew looked at her deeply.

I don't know if it was a coincidence or other reasons, but after Daisy spoke, the Naga singing from underground also disappeared.

But in Daisy's case.

Matthew couldn't find anything unusual——

Neither insight, perception, nor clairvoyance found any flaws in her.

As for the final balanced perception of trump cards.

Since it could only be used twice a day, and it was in a place like a tomb, Matthew didn't want to use it casually.

But nevertheless.

Deep down in his heart, he had already marked Daisy and Lyndon together as a suspicious unit.

These two people.

It's definitely not as simple as prostitutes and clients!

And just when Matthew and Daisy were talking.

Carmela and Lorraine also looked at the latter with different eyes, which made Matthew more determined.

However, the three of them all had an unexpected tacit understanding and did not continue to inquire further.

After waiting in place for a few minutes.

Naga's song never sounded again.

Stanley said:

"How are you going to get there?"

Lorraine shrugged:

"Everyone depends on their ability."

While talking, everyone heard the rumble of footsteps——

The bone dragon Philolius, who was originally holding the battle at the back, came to the front.

He leaned down on the cliff, and with his huge body, he easily blocked both sides of the bank, forming a stable and strong bone bridge!

Matthew walked across the Bone Bridge calmly.

Death Knight 47 also wanted to follow, but Philolius swung him away with his tail!

"Only the master can trample on my body!"

Xiao Bo's low roar echoed on the cliff.

Paige shrugged her shoulders indifferently, took a quick step to the edge of the cliff, and then kicked hard. Her figure drew a graceful arc in mid-air, and then landed steadily on the opposite side;

A Bing lowered his head, and his figure disappeared from the spot. When he reappeared, he was already on the other side;

47 took out a javelin from nowhere, tied a rope to its tail, and then threw it towards the cliff ahead.

There was a snap.

The javelin got stuck in the gap in the rock on the opposite side. With this rope, the death knight also successfully reached the other side;

As for the other undead, Matthew temporarily planned to leave them on the opposite side.

If necessary, he will erect another teleportation tombstone.

But consider the cost.

He planned to scout first and then teleport.

Anyway, it is enough to have elite units to help in the fight. These zombies are purely coolies.

Loren took out his piccolo and played it for a while, then blessed himself with a flying technique and flew over lightly;

Carmela whispered "I can walk on the air!".

Then he walked over in a majestic manner.

The trio looked back at Stanley and the others.

It was beyond their expectations.

Stanley hesitated for a moment, and then said:

"Let's not go there."

"Originally, I planned to come here to try my luck and see if I could find the Guilty Crown, but since you are also interested in this, I might as well quit."

"Let's go our separate ways next."

As he spoke, he looked at Linden.

Linden also jumped up immediately:

"That's great. I've told you a long time ago that finding the Guilty Crown is the most meaningless thing. You should fulfill your promise and escort me to the core of the Emerald King City!"

Stanley nodded.

The three people on the other side looked at each other. Although they were a little surprised, the other party's statement was very true, and they had no reason not to let him go.

So he nodded and let them leave.

Watching Stanley and his group return to the second floor of the underground palace.

Luo Lan couldn't help complaining:

"Look, did you scare people away?!"

"It must be because your bald head looks too vicious!"

Carmela stepped forward:

"Maybe people think your chest hair is irritating."

Matthew ignored the quarrel between the two.

Stanley suddenly made the request to leave after the three of him came over, which showed that he was actually prepared to leave resolutely.

After the three of them arrived on the other side, they only added a buffer zone.

"He seems to be ready to fall out..."

Matthew couldn't help but reflect on himself:

"Is it because the way you look when you are searching for things is too scary?"

"But I clearly promised that I would give him a share of the spoils when things are done..."

He couldn't help but look back a few more times.

"Don't worry, I have tracking powder on each of them. I can find them at any time."

"Just now when you were busy making love to Medusa, I noticed Stanley and Lyndon whispering next to each other."

"After all, they don't trust us and are even a little afraid of us. It's normal for them to leave now."

Lorraine put his arm around Matthew's shoulders and walked forward. As he walked, he asked:

"So besides planting trees, do you have any other daily hobbies?"

"I needed more details to flesh out the origin story."

Matthew thought for a while:

"No, if you have to say it, it's about casting spells?"

"But this shouldn't be considered a daily hobby, right?"

Luo Lan rolled his eyes:

"Then what is your most commonly used spell?"

Matthew said with some uncertainty:

"Mage's Hand?"

As he recalled, he couldn't help but look in the direction of Luo Lan.

The latter grabbed a quill and wrote in his notebook.

Matthew quickly caught a glimpse of a corner——

…

"Character Details 69: Likes to cast spells with the hands of a mage!"

…

Matthew's vision went dark.

He was about to argue with Loran, but some unusual scenery appeared on the ground in front of him.

The three walked forward along the uneven ground.

They could clearly feel that the terrain was sloping down.

A huge underground plain formed in front of them.

The place they walked on was a path that could barely be distinguished by the naked eye. It was opened up a long time ago.

And blank tombstones appeared on both sides of the road!

The shape of these tombstones was very simple. Although the workmanship was rough, the stone texture was excellent.

They stood quietly on both sides of the road.

It gave people the illusion of coming to a mass grave.

"Why are there so many tombstones here?"

Matthew couldn't help asking.

"It seems that Prince Philip prepared them for his descendants. According to the tradition of the trolls, only direct heirs and their families are qualified to be buried in the Eternal Underground Palace. These blank tombstones are prepared for later heirs. Unfortunately, not long after Philip's death, the Troll Empire fell apart..."

Loran said.

Carmela looked around and looked disappointed.

Obviously.

She did not find the ancient atmosphere he wanted in these tombstones.

Then she looked at Matthew:

"What did you find?"

"From the beginning, your eyes have been looking back and forth between these tombstones, and you seem to be muttering something?"

Matthew was stunned for a moment, then laughed softly:

"I'm just calculating how many zombies are needed to carry these blank tombstones back in one breath."

"You don't need this stuff, right?"

"If not, I'll take them all away..."

Carmela was silent.

Matthew was in a very good mood.

These blank tombstones can be used to provide shelter for zombies.

They can also be processed a little.

They can become tombstones with various special functions.

Unlike the tombstones made by Matthew himself.

The stones here are more exquisite, and accordingly, the tombstones made will be much better in terms of effect.

Matthew even suspected.

Some of the tombstones here may have the ability to carry the "Domain Covenant"!

This is not something that ordinary stones can do.

Matthew's cemetery is actually very short of stones now.

Rolling Stone Town once had many fine stones, but that was in the past.

Ever since the mining industry disappeared overnight.

Rolling Stone Town has become very short of stones.

Especially good stones.

The stones that Matthew dug out from the ground are not comparable to these tombstones in terms of material!

He counted them.

There are almost more than 3,000 blank tombstones here!

"The total value of these tombstones is definitely more than 300,000 gold coins!"

"After moving these back home, I can directly build a special ritual field for the zombies, so that more high-quality zombies can be quickly bred, thereby obtaining more high-quality labor!"

Snap!

Matthew erected a teleportation tombstone on the side of the road and began to prepare to pull people.

It was similar to the situation on the first floor.

The teleportation here was more seriously disturbed, and it was estimated that it would take longer to activate.

He was not in a hurry.

The three of them continued to walk towards the dark front.

As they walked.

The air became vaguely moist.

A light breeze blew in front.

Although it was all dark.

But the darkness not far away had some fluctuations.

The light of the fire demon hit the mirror in front.

The deep darkness was quickly dispelled, as if it had turned into liquid, and it rose and fell slightly with the breeze.

The water surface was sparkling.

"It's the underground lake!"

"There's a dock in front!"

"There are footprints here. The people from Jiandong City left from here. They went to the center of the lake!"

The underground lake port.

A dock that had been abandoned for an unknown period of time.

Loran pointed to the footprints on the dock and the traces on the piles next to it and said:

"There should be two ships moored here, but they were all driven away."

At this time, Carmela also pointed to the depths of the underground lake and said:

"There!"

"There is an island there!"

"The burial place of the troll prince is on the island."

Although Matthew could not see what Carmela was pointing to.

But the legendary priest's eyes were obviously unquestionable.

He threw away the magic carpet at the moment.

The three of them got on it, and then flew slowly in the direction Carmela pointed.

About fifteen minutes later.

Some fire appeared on the lake in front.

A huge shadow was cast in the center of the lake.

The shadow was darker than the darkness next to it.

But Matthew's eyes were not on the shadow, but on the sky above the lake!

As the magic carpet kept getting closer.

He finally realized that the island that Carmela pointed to was not floating on the underground lake.

But it was suspended in the air above the underground lake!

Yes.

The underground space here began to greedily expand upward.

Formed an extremely spectacular underground space layer.

Around the suspended island.

There was a cliff in one direction, and a large amount of magma left from the cliff and poured into the underground lake.

There was still rolling magma on top.

It became a misty white gas when it hit the lake.

The suspended island is about 50 to 80 meters above the water.

The island is very small.

It can only accommodate a dozen people standing.

In the center of the island.

There is a familiar column rising into the sky.

Above the column is the equally familiar mushroom head and the suspended ring.

Matthew raised the height of the magic carpet.

The lava flowing down illuminated his face, and he clearly saw three coffins placed on the ring.

And on the narrow platform above the mushroom head.

There are mountains of dazzling treasures!

Gold, silver, jade, gems... and many dazzling treasures.

They are piled up on the platform.

It seems that they are waiting for the visit of outsiders.

And the three sarcophagi are no different from the coffins used for the burials on the upper two floors.

The only thing that Matthew cares about is.

He observed that one of the sarcophagi seemed to have been opened.

And on the small island at the root of the ring.

At this moment, two groups of people have gathered, namely the turban team of Jiandong City and the dog-headed warlock Will and his clone!

When Matthew and the other two approached.

The dog-headed man was issuing a stern warning to the people of Jiandong City:

"Don't get close to those treasures!"

"That's a huge trap!"

"I'm not reminding you not to be stupid out of kindness. If anyone touches the treasures on it, the entire island will automatically peel off, and everything around us, including the entire underground palace, will fall irreversibly into the astral world!"

"Even if you want to take these treasures away, you must first break this trap, otherwise you will be courting death!"

Among the people of Jiandong City.

The young man with the black turban was obviously a little unconvinced.

The leader of the red turban seemed much more stable.

He pondered:

"We are not here to find the Crown of Sin entrusted by the Green Dragon, but for other purposes."

"We don't care about the treasure here. I just want to take away the one thing our employer wants us to take away."

The dog-headed man Will snorted coldly:

"I don't care what you want to take away. Before cracking this trap, no one is allowed to act rashly!"

The red turban frowned and said:

"But I didn't sense the trap you said."

The dog-headed man sneered:

"That's your problem."

"But I can advise you that if you can't even see such an obvious trap, you'd better consider changing your career."

The people in Jiandong City were very angry.

But the dog-headed man said it seriously, and they didn't dare to act rashly.

And at this time.

They also saw Matthew and the other two approaching, and their faces were different.

The people in Jiandong City were instinctively a little alert.

And the dog-headed man seemed a little irritable... and a little panic?

Matthew quickly glanced at the platform.

The next second.

He saw a shadowy figure pulling a bag and frantically filling the treasure pile!

The figure was short and ugly, didn't it look like a dog-headed man?

...

"Hint: You have seen through the "bluff" of the dog-headed man Will!"

...

Matthew was about to speak up.

But at this moment.

The magma on the other side of the cliff suddenly stirred up!

Then.

In the horrified eyes of the crowd.

A huge woman, whose whole body was made of magma and black smoke, climbed out of the magma!

Hula la!

The giantess stepped on the underground lake with her feet.

It immediately stirred up a storm.

Her upper body was flowing with blazing flames, and the hot feeling made the people on the island a little breathless.

"I said..."

"Those who trespass into the underground palace will die!"

A hideous smile appeared on the giantess's face. She bent down and opened her mouth, spraying at the island--

Hula la!

The lava covered the island directly!

In the chaos.

Matthew quickly adjusted the height of the magic carpet.

Xiao Fei, who was originally following behind, stepped forward and blocked Matthew in front of him with his flying skills!

But at this moment.

The giantess's eyes suddenly locked on Matthew:

"What a cute bone dragon!"

"Now..."

"He's mine!"

At that moment.

Matthew was horrified to find that a huge force was tearing his soul apart!

...

"Hint: You encountered "Lava Banshee Brianta" (Death Banshee variant/lord)

You realize that the Death Banshee Brianta used "disguise" and "deception" on you before. She did not escape, but was just dormant temporarily...

Warning: Brianta used "rebellion" on your undead!

Your ability "strict defense" is taking effect!

Your bone dragon is exempt from "rebellion"..."

...

Matthew looked at the huge banshee in shock, his eyes gradually became sharper.

Recommend a similar work, Qi Miao is also well-received
