When Anthony stood in front of the stone gate, he couldn't help but breathe. The stone gate is indeed very large, as spacious as the city gate, and is several times taller than the low city gate. It has edges and corners, and there are incomprehensible spiral reliefs on it. The border of the door is carved with some hieroglyphs. If you look closely, you will see some twisted characters, such as vortexes, octopus or other soft creatures.

"As the size of this door, it should be no problem to stuff the 'King of Trolls' in it." Orson said, touching his chin.

"Something was wrong." Anthony reached out and touched the stone door, and felt a hint of dampness. He also noticed that the closer he got to the door, the more he could smell a scent of rotten smell. Anthony realized that this door was as old as this dungeon and was not something that people later built.

"What's wrong?" Vader asked in confusion, but Anthony ignored him.

Orson, who was next to him, reached out and patted the stone door, then looked at Anthony and asked, "How to open this door?"

"It would probably take a lot of time to smash open such a thick stone door?" Vader said, touching his chin.

"Smash? Are you serious?" Anthony looked at Vader suspiciously.

Vader waved his hand disapprovingly: "What, I haven't done it before! I took the No. 5 man to steal it back then - uh, ahem, in short, it's just a pile of stones, and it's harder than iron? Just smash it with a hammer!"

"No, no! Don't!" Anthony quickly stopped, "This is a cultural relic. It may not be accompanied by magic or connected to some mechanism! What if you smash the place and it collapses?"

"Where is so fragile?" Vader obviously didn't believe it, but instead glared at Anthony.

"Anyway, be honest with me-"

"Hey! Drake!"

Orson's scream pulled Anthony's attention back from Vader. The moment he turned his head, he found a blue light from the corner of his eyes. He quickly looked at the place where the light was emitted. It was the light emitted by the hieroglyphs on the edge of the door, and those were becoming increasingly intense, becoming brighter and brighter from bottom to top.

"Hey! Something is wrong!" Even Vader, who advocated smashing the door, realized the situation was strange: "I'll say it first! I did nothing!"

"Shut up!" Anthony quickly retreated and shouted, "Everyone, retreat!!!"

As the ancient hieroglyphs began to shine, subtle dust and sand peeled off the door, and the slight tremor made everyone panic.

"Is there an earthquake?!"

"Damn it! We're underground!!"

"Calm down!!! Calm down down!!!" Anthony shouted at the top of his throat: "This is normal! We triggered something! So it caused an earthquake! But it will never collapse! Otherwise, this map design will be meaningless! Calm down! Hold on!"

"What the hell happened?!" Orson shouted anxiously and walked towards Anthony.

"Calm down!" Vader pressed Orson's shoulder and blocked between him and Anthony, but instead of looking at Orson, he raised his head and shouted at the others: "Everyone pulls out their weapons! Be prepared for battle! If it is really part of the map design, as Drake said, we may have triggered the boss fight! Repeat and be prepared for battle!"

"Torch!" Anthony immediately ordered, "Throw the torch! Light up twenty meters around! Take out all those with shields! Pay attention to the light in the dark!"

The No. 20 people moved in a hurry, rotating the torch flying out, reflecting the flames of the shield and weapons, the No. 20 people turned their backs to the huge stone door to form a semicircle. The earthquake continued, and the dark ceiling above their heads began to fall, falling on their helmets and cloaks, filling the air, and sucking them into their mouths while they shouted.

"Ph!" Anthony spat. He held the iron sword in one hand and held the round little iron shield in the other hand.

The earthquake lasted for nearly twenty seconds, and suddenly stopped when everyone was terrified.

"Stop, stop?" someone asked in shock.

Vad swallowed, then nodded: "It seems--"

Paji-

Everyone heard a sticky sound from a soft thing falling on the ground. Everyone knew what it was. They had seen, chopped, and burned too many similar things. However, this time the sound was mixed with some other sounds.

Click. It is the sound of metal collision.

"What, what?" Harvey looked in the direction where the sound came, and then two more sounds came.

"Three." Cold sweat began to seep from Anthony's forehead, and his body trembled since the earthquake just now, but no one noticed him at this moment, and everyone was watching the darkness ahead.

Then something "climbed" into the range of the fire. A black shadow, which was almost twelve feet, slowly appeared from the edge of the fire. The flame on the torch that fell on the ground shook a few times, and the light suddenly weakened. But before that, the mercenaries had roughly seen the outline of the thing.

Like all the monsters I encountered before, the lower body was soft and swollen insect body, while the upper body was human. However, unlike all the human figures I encountered before, these monsters were covered with heavy armor. The outline of the armor was soft curves, and the metal reflected a little fire. When they approached the weakened fire again, Anthony saw the dim gold-plated and streamlined cumbersome patterns on the edge of the armor; the monster held a long spear in his hand, and the tip of the spear was hidden in the darkness, beyond the fire, so that the mercenaries could not know its exact length and attack range.

Then the light of the torch on the ground weakened again.

As the monster moved, the flames finally went out.

"They..." Harvey stared at the darkness and found his gums trembling, "pulling the light away."

"Take out the tar pot!!!" Anthony's roar made everyone come to their senses, "Be ready to throw! Listen to my order-" Another "pa" sound, Anthony paused for a moment, and shouted in a louder voice: "Listen to my order! Throw together!"

"I'll be responsible for lighting the fire!" Orson volunteered to pick up the bow and lit the arrows with the torches and oil pots from the people next to him.

Paji-

"Stay!" Anthony shouted, "Stay!"

Paji-

"Stay! Stay--"

Paji-

"leave!!!"

...

"Hey, hey!" Coria wanted to push Ding Ke away, who was holding her waist with a stern face, but the people in front of her dared not relax at all. She was almost knocked down by Ding Ke during the earthquake. The woman who had just almost killed a strong man with a big sword threw away her weapon the moment the earthquake came and almost knocked down Coria beside her.

"I'm going to die, I'm going to die..." Ding Ke buried his face in her and kept muttering in a low voice.

In order not to let the people ahead notice her embarrassment and mobility difficulties, she pretended to forcefully yelled at the men in the tunnel ahead, "Do you still want to fight?"

Then Coria heard a man shouting, "Hey! Marcus and the others have not come yet?!"

"They are entangled by monsters!"

"Damn it! We can't stop these crazy women anymore! Tell them to deal with the monsters as soon as possible!"

"No! The monster seems to be suddenly crazy! Damn it! Marcus's staff is starting to lose its staff!!!"

"What?!"

"Tsk! Don't worry about these crazy women! Go and support Marcus!"

"Ah, escape." Mai lowered his crossbow and watched the flames in the tunnel ahead disappear.

"Hey, hey! Don't leave me behind!" But there were still wounded people shouting in despair in the darkness.

"Mo Zi." Meka called softly, and the exotic girl who was dragging the big blade followed her silently. Meka held a lantern in one hand and a staff made of ancient branches in the other. Every step he took, he used a staff to hit the ground with a staff. The sound of struggle crawling came from the darkness.

"Don't, don't come over!" The man begged for mercy in a panic, "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Don't kill me! Don't kill me! Damn it! I've finally been at level 27! Don't kill me! Don't kill me!"

Then before Meka reacted, Mozi had already danced the big sword and picked out the weapon flying from the darkness. It was a short sword, but it just threw it towards Meka.

"Damn it! Damn it!" the man cursed excitedly, and continued to struggle and crawl.

"If you don't want to die, don't move around." Mai's unchanged voice came from behind, and the voice of struggling in the dark suddenly stopped.

Then Ding Ke's shocked voice came from behind: "Am I not dead?"

"Gu." The man in the dark swallowed, "No, will he not die if he doesn't move?"

"See how you perform." Meka said as she tapped the ground with her staff, then the man's lower body appeared in the fire, followed by his upper body and an uneasy face. His thighs were shot through by Mai's crossbow arrows, and the blood was dragged out as he struggled to crawl.

"Hi, hi." The man raised one hand awkwardly and said hello.

Meka sighed, then looked at the man helplessly and asked, "Why are you attacking us?"

"It was obviously your move first!" the man shouted innocently.

"Looking." Mo Zi, who had no expression on his face, lowered the blade of the Da Tai Dao, and the cold blade reflecting the fire made the man shudder.

"Wait, wait! I was wrong! I'm sorry!" the man shouted with his head in horror.

"I'll ask again, why did you attack us?" Meka asked again helplessly.

"Because, because..." The man slowly put down his hands holding his head, and a blank look appeared on his face, "Because... you attacked us first?"

"Oh." Meka sighed, then covered her forehead. It was so difficult to communicate.

At this time, Mozi took a step forward and slowly raised the big sword in his hand.

"Wait, wait!" The man seemed to realize that there was something wrong with what he said. He shouted in panic, "It was really you who attacked us first!!"

"Mozi, wait." Meka reached out to stop Mozi, who was expressionless, and then looked at the man's panicked face, as if he understood something.

"Did you attack the people of the Iron Chain Knights first? They fled to tell us that you attacked them! Are I wrong?!" the man shouted excitedly.

"Knights of the Iron Chain?" Ding Ke's voice came from behind, and she obviously had slowed down. "Did someone mention the Iron Chain Knights of the Iron Chain just now?"

"Coria, let Ding Ke be honest." Meka ordered coldly, then she looked down at the man, "Where are the two people from the Iron Chain Knights?"

"With, with our captain." The man swallowed, and then he seemed to realize something, "There are any problems with those two men?"

However, Meka did not answer his question, but looked at the darkness ahead. A scream of fighting came from the tunnel in the distance: "Is it right there?"

"Yes, yes..." the man replied without confidence.

"May, Lianda," Meka turned his head and shouted behind her, "Come here to help this man bandage the wound. Dingke, Coria and Mozi, come with me. After May and Lianda have been treated, come here immediately!"
