Chapter 108 This Place Is Really Huge

"Chirp, chirp~ (Protect yourself and wait for our good news.)"

Noshil, who saw through the crack in the door that Saliva had hidden behind the guards and that the guards did not show any abnormal behavior, immediately made a few short bird calls.

Saliva also responded immediately after hearing the sound.

"Meow~ (Don't worry, I've done this before, don't worry about my safety.)"

Noshil smiled when he heard this, and said no more, but immediately turned around and grabbed Scar.

Because he had already known the specific situation inside from the previous exploration, he grabbed Scar and took off directly, and fell into the tunnel and passed through the illusion wall with a very fast movement.

Scar was a little surprised by this illusion wall, but he still maintained the combat quality of a high-level paladin and did not make any extra sounds, and Noshil returned to the trap door again to pull it down and reset it, and then flew back.

After returning, Noshil made a gesture to Scar to follow, then took off his double axes directly, and walked slowly and carefully in the tunnel.

Seeing this, Scar also took off his shield and hammer, held them tightly in his hands, and followed Noshir silently and slowly forward.

When they reached the first door, Noshir suddenly raised his hand to signal Scar to stop here, while he continued to walk slowly forward.

He wanted to go to the end of the corridor to see what was there. If there was nothing unexpected there, he would turn around and investigate the two rooms, and then slowly explore one room at a time.

He first walked to the end of the corridor, and did not choose to stick his head out rashly, but first calmed down and listened carefully to see if there was any additional movement.

The corridor to the left was very quiet, with no footsteps or talking, but there was a faint buzzing sound from the corridor to the right.

It was not clear what the sound was, but it felt like the vague buzzing conveyed by many people chanting fixed words together in a closed room.

"Damn, did I hear it wrong? Are there so many people underground?"

Noshier seemed a little confused after hearing these voices. He even suspected that he might have heard it wrong. Although the basement seemed a bit large at present, it was impossible for too many creatures to gather here, unless...

Noshier carefully poked his head out. He first looked to the right. The stone passage was about 40 meters long. At the end was a thick stone wall. There was no passage turning to other directions. There was only a thick iron-clad wooden door on the wall on the left side of the end of the passage, which emitted a dim fluorescent light under the door. Those strange buzzing sounds came from that room.

Noshier turned his head to the left again. There was no movement there, just like what he heard. Except for the pale green fluorescent light, no one could be seen. Even the passage itself was very short, only about five meters long. However, the most surprising thing was that the passage on the left was not the end. There was an additional tunnel on the right side of the end of the passage, and no one knew where it led to.

Noshier retracted his head. It was obvious that this place was much bigger than he had imagined. It was very likely that this place was not a basement at all, but a fucking underground city!

This unexpected discovery caught Noshier off guard again. He originally thought that the underground space was not big, so the security force was naturally not strong.

What really made him make this judgment was that in the perception of the helmet, there were only a few devils underground, which made him relax his vigilance. He naturally thought that the security force underground was only these few devils, but now it seems that it is not that simple.

Damn! If things really develop in the direction he originally imagined, they should be able to easily get what they want, and even if a battle occurs, they will not be at all weak. A few devils are not their opponents at all. With the ruling crown on his head, even if there is a high-ranking devil entrenched here, Noshier has a certain degree of confidence in dealing with it, but now...

"The underground of the Duke's Mansion is actually a dungeon, and she has secretly gathered an unknown number of subordinates in the dungeon. This is troublesome."

Noshier fell into thought. The complex situation of the dungeon forced him to reconsider his plan to explore here. The previous easy assumption can be completely abandoned.

"... There is no other way. If I still want to continue this operation, I must capture a devil and dig out some information from his brain to confirm the specific situation here. There is no other way to do this."

Noshier poked his head out again to confirm.

"It seems that we can't go to the right side for the time being. There are too many people over there, and it seems that we have reached the end. So we should go back and search the two rooms according to the original plan. Choose a devil at random, control it directly with the crown, and then obtain information through his brain."

"Oh, it's troublesome. I don't know how big this dungeon is. If I guess correctly, there must be more than one secret exit here. I must not be exposed before I find where Tavis Craig is hiding. Otherwise, this guy will get wind and run away. Then I will have no choice."

Noshier retreated quietly and came to Scar's side. He didn't say anything but shook his head. Then Noshier pointed to the door on the left and indicated to search that room first.

Although Scar didn't know what Noshier saw over there, he didn't think much about it or ask much. He just nodded and continued to follow Noshier.

Noshier stood in front of the door of the room on the left. There was no light coming out of the door. The whole door looked very solid. It was covered with iron sheets and steel nails. The only hole was the iron keyhole.

According to the structure and solidity of the door, whether it was directly demolished or opened with a key, it would alarm the devil inside who was doing something unknown, and then cause a series of vicious chain reactions.

But he has never been a hesitant person. This risk must be taken. No, wait, maybe there is a way to minimize the risk.

His intelligence, which was as high as 16 points after wearing the crown, made him immediately think of a possible way. After confirming the plan, Noshier signaled Scar to go to another door first to guard against any possible intruders, while he himself completely immersed his thoughts in the perception of the crown.

This time, he had only one goal.

He completely connected his thoughts with the devil hidden in that room, took off the gloves on his right hand, and began to slowly pry the thick keyhole with his sharp claws.

He had briefly sensed the mental state of these demons through the crown before, and then he found that all the demons seemed to be asleep, and his plan was to pry open the door while the demons were asleep, and then sneak in to kill or control them.

Of course, it is not as simple as it sounds to achieve this. The noise made during the lock picking process is very easy to wake him up. In order to prevent this from happening, Noshier chose to use the crown to monitor the brain wave activity of the demon inside wholeheartedly while prying the door.

Once his brain shows any signs of wanting to wake up, he will directly sense it. At the moment of fluctuation, he will stop directly, and then continue to act after his brain wave activity calms down.

As for whether it is too difficult to pry open these iron locks with claws?

No, it is not at all. This is actually not difficult for him. The mechanical knowledge exchanged through the panel before allowed him to understand the principle of this simple iron door. Noshier is confident that he can pry open this most basic iron lock with his claws alone.

Well, a perfect plan.

Noshier smiled and slowly put his claws in, fiddling with the keyhole while concentrating on sensing the devil's brainwaves.

His movements were quick, and after just a few seconds the keyhole was pried open with a click. However, the strange thing was that in his perception, the devil's mind was still dead silent, and the click of the door lock opening did not cause any ripples in his thoughts.

This was not normal. Although Noshier had also experienced this kind of very calm thoughts when he detected the thoughts of those little devils before, as long as the perception time was a little longer, their thoughts would also fluctuate a little.

But the devil inside was different. He was too quiet, and there seemed to be no ripples in his heart. This situation would occur either because he had entered a deep sleep or fell into a severe coma.

"... This place is getting more and more weird, but now that we have come this far, we can't retreat no matter what."

Noshier took two steps back, held the bundle of activation ropes in his left hand, gently said the secret words, and quickly made a spell gesture with his right hand.

"Magic, open the door silently."
