The four of them continued to walk forward in the dark tunnel, holding the wall. The sound of water under their feet made people nervous, and the cold water temperature made them tremble and suck their will. Robin even opened a bottle of strong wine from the wine racks found by Joel and took several big mouthfuls to dispel the cold with the help of the wine.

Then when he handed the bottle to Joel, Alps, and even Aleya, they did not refuse. They took the bottle and took a big sip, and then handed it to the next person.

The water temperature was still lowering. Joel didn't know if anyone else noticed it, but his burned skin was extremely sensitive to temperature. This means they were looking for it right. Joel thought to himself that the temperature began to drop because he was close to the target.

During the earthquake, they were collecting wine in the wine cellar. Sand and soil kept falling from their heads. The earthquake caused several wine racks to collapse and many barrels to roll down, which made them spend a lot of effort to leave the stone cellar. However, they did not complain about it. When the earthquake came, almost everyone thought that this time was dead.

It took them a long time after the earthquake that they completely recovered from the terrifying shock just now, and Aleya also began to infer the cause of the earthquake. However, the others obviously did not seem to talk about this topic, so she gave up on continuing the discussion, and everyone also accelerated their pace, trying to complete the task and leave the place before the next scary earthquake came.

But they all know that the so-called mission is not as fatal as an earthquake?

However, the earthquake also brought some other changes. They were no longer as timid as they had just arrived, but instead lit torches and lanterns, boldly dispelling the darkness around them, as if they had been through much more thoroughly after experiencing a crisis.

Joel also reminded them that there were torches on the walls of the corridor, so Robin lit all the torches he could see, but many of them were not lit because they were tide and could not ignite them. So he gave up.

I don't know how long it took, but Joel, who was walking in front, finally let them stop. What they saw was an iron door that looked like it was known to be thick and rusty.

However, in terms of specifications, this is still the door used by people.

"Where is behind this?" Robin asked.

"Lobby." Joel replied lightly, then he reached out and touched the door, saying, "It's right behind the door."

How did you know? The others were about to ask, and then they saw something peeling off the door because of Joel's touch. When they looked closer, they found that a thin layer of ice had formed on the rusty iron door.

Aleya immediately lifted up the lantern to check the surroundings: "Only there is ice on the iron door, the wall is just a little wet, but there is no sign of icing."

"Is it that the door has been frozen?" Robin guessed.

"It's hard to say." Aleya replied: "But for the moment, we have the option to open the door and go inside."

"Do you want to go in?" Robin was obviously a little uneasy, but he also knew that it was not the time to give up.

"Ar," Joel whispered, handing the torch in his hand to Eleya, "Come here and help me open the door."

"good."

The two walked to the door, left and right, but the door was not bolted, but it was not moved because of its heavy weight. "Get back a little, give him the lantern you carry." Joel pointed to Robin, and said, "Put the fire high and pay attention to the water."

"What should I pay attention to?" Robin was stunned, but he still raised the torch and lantern in his hand as usual.

The door creaked open, and the harsh sound of the door shaft was immediately submerged by the sound of water flow. The door that had just opened a crack was immediately pushed open by the water flow. The colder and more icy water poured into the corridor from the dark space behind the iron door, and continued without slowing down for a while.

"Hold the wall!" cried Alps.

Aleya and Robin both consciously leaned against the wall. Alps and Joel hurried over and took the torches and lanterns in their hands so that they could take advantage of their actions to support the wall.

I don’t know how long the cold water flowed, but from the initial level of being less than the waist to the knees, the rapid water flow became more and more gentle. When it finally stopped moving, the four people were almost wet.

"So cold." Aleya let out a breath of white breath and shivered at the same time.

Joel took the lead in going to the dark door. He now looked in the torch, then carefully looked at the wall above the door if there was any danger. Finally, he finally made sure there was no movement around him and walked into the huge underground space.

If anything unexpected happens, Joel, who owns the Snake Ring, is also the one who is most confident of avoiding danger.

After walking through the hall, Joel noticed that the two braziers on both sides of the iron door had been soaked in cold water. However, the water was extremely clear, and Joel could clearly see the pale or black fragments in the brazier.

Then he raised his head. When he came to this place for the second time, he couldn't help but sigh at the spaciousness here again. He seemed to be standing in the dark lake. Except for the walls and iron doors behind him, there was only ripples and ripples on the edge of the fire in other directions, and the rest was just a piece of darkness.

Robin was the second person to enter the space, followed by the Alps and finally Eléa.

They were obviously all shocked by this vast underground space.

"What is this?" Aleya asked subconsciously.

Joel also subconsciously replied: "The Hall of Meetings."

As if in response to Joel's answer, he saw the ghost's fog beginning to flow in the darkness in the distance, above the calm water surface, which he had never seen when he came here for the first time. The fog flowed, as if it would disappear at any time. Joel saw a person's outline, staring at the outlines and continuing to walk forward.

When he approached the ghosts, he found that they could not see their faces clearly. As long as he stared at them for a long time, he would find that they were the faces of skeletons. These people were not wearing armor, but were wearing gorgeous cloaks. They were nobles or something, but it was certain that these ghosts were extremely ancient.

Joel remembered the statues in the darkness.

When Joel approached a certain level, the phantoms disappeared like collapsed sand sculptures.

"Joel? What are you looking at?" Aleya, who was following behind Joel, asked in a low voice. The four of them now formed a circular formation, and were alert to different directions.

"Ghost." Joel replied briefly, "they are... arguing about something."

Joel saw a controversy scene, with three ghosts in total, and two left angrily, one of whom pulled out his sword to threaten, and the other threw the wine glass in his hand to the ground, leaving only an elderly ghost wearing a heavy cloak standing there.

When Joel thought that the ghost wanted to disappear like other phantoms, the ghost suddenly turned his head and looked at Joel. This time it was not a skeleton face, but a calm and sophisticated, wide face with a beard. He stared at Joel, and then he raised his hand. Joel noticed that at this time, he began to collapse like other phantoms, and his face began to wither, turning into a skeleton, and eventually disappeared.

Joel looked at the ceiling where he raised his hand to point, where there were several small white balls of pale white in the darkness.

At this time, Robin suddenly asked, "Did you hear any strange sound?"

Joel suddenly reacted: "Disassist!"

The four of them hurriedly hid towards the different people, and for a moment they could only hear the sound of water.

After a few breaths, the place they had just stood suddenly exploded, and Joel noticed that it was because the white balls in the dark fell.

The white air spread together with the ripples, and the temperature of the water suddenly dropped. The large splash of water seemed to emit a pale light, and then it was fixed in the air without falling. The bursting splash was frozen into a barbaric ice sculpture, and the air conditioner and ice chips fell from above. No one else had yet to come back to his senses from the attack that broke into the attack.

At this time, Joel noticed that something was falling into the water from the darkness not far away, like a stone or something.

"Fuck, what the hell was that just now?!" Robin shouted in a daze, his torch had been extinguished by water at this moment.

"It's the boss!" Aleya replied loudly, "The boss is on the ceiling! Pay attention to the white light ball!"

Joel tried his best to move and found that in addition to the lantern that Aleya was holding, the Alpine lantern was also immersed in water. "Al?!" Joel shouted, responding to him was a sound of water.

The Alps were wearing iron armor. Joel realized that once it was poured into the water, the water poured into the armor would greatly restrict his movements.

"Aleya! Run!" Joel shouted in a hoarse voice, "Robin! Go and help Al up! Let him take off his armor!"

"Al?!" Robin also reacted from the shock at this moment, and he quickly leaned towards the sound of water struggling in the darkness.

Joel deliberately bypassed the large splash ice sculpture and struggled to light a torch in the darkness, while also guarding against whether there was a white ball of light in the darkness above his head.

Joel and the others had already learned that the monster was sensitive to light sources, so the monster in the darkness was naturally aimed at Eleya, who was moving hard in the water that was not far behind her knees with a lantern. Eleya herself knew the most. She decisively removed the cloak and cloth equipment on her body to avoid slowing down her speed.

Almost as soon as Joel lit the torch and raised it above his head, several white balls emitting pale light appeared again in the darkness above his head.

Everyone was sure that the white ball was aiming at Eleya this time, but Joel also noticed that the position of the white ball appeared also changed from before.

"Aleya, be careful! It's coming again!" Robin shouted in the darkness, and the sound of Alps struggling in the water disappeared.

"I know!" Aleya replied yelling, and Joel could see that she was getting farther and farther away.

Without having time to think about anything, Joel immediately took out the crossbow from his "backpack", held the torch hand and held Ke's bow body, raised it upwards, aiming at the light balls.

And just the moment before Joel pulled the trigger, the light balls moved quickly and smashed towards Aleya in the distance.
