"You really surprised me! Master!" Colonde looked at the dark passage and showed a carefree smile. He was really surprised, and there was no other meaning.

"Lu Xi, have you been here before?" Artoria also showed a curious look, but soon she shook her head: "But you also said that it was your first time to come to Vigia, so naturally it was impossible to climb Mount Atlas."

In the mind of the Knight Princess, there seemed to be no concept of Lu Xi fooling herself, and the latter was immediately moved.

In such a crystal-like transparent mood, his dark and decadent heart suddenly appeared. In order to alleviate such entanglement, Lu Xi could only hold his smile and said, "What should we do now? Do we need to keep moving forward?"

"Not only demons appeared on the holy mountain of Nord, but also the altar of the demon god appeared. Finally, such a suspicious secret passage came. You must not leave it alone. Of course, you must continue to move forward!" Artoria said without hesitation, "I am the Queen Nord and I have the obligation to find out the truth."

Isn’t your obligation to find the Valhalla and go to Songjiade to pass the Nord Ancestor Trial?

Lu Xi showed a laughing and crying expression.

"Lu Xi, don't you think so?"

"If you want to ask me... I would suggest that you wait here for a while and wait until the Sky Sanctuary and the Marquis' reinforcements arrive. Things are getting weirder now. We only have a few people, and if we really encounter an emergency, we can't deal with it."

"Every northern man can deal with ten sanctuaries, five orcs, and three demons!" Faos said suddenly.

"It's enough to leave such words to cheer yourself up, but don't use them as a basis for judgment." Lu Xi responded casually, then looked at Artoria again: "But it's still you who made the decision. I said I will follow you to the end."

"This..." Artoria looked at Lu Xi, looking a little hesitant. Finally, she nodded with an inaudible amplitude. Just as she was about to say something, a trembling roar suddenly rushed out of the passage. The sound of wind passing through the secret passage should be cold, but the roar was like flames in the abyss, turning the cold air into a heat wave on the sea, sweeping out, making everyone's skin hurt.

This feeling lasted for less than a second, and soon the entire stone hall returned to normal coldness, but everyone knows that this is by no means an illusion.

"The cry of the snow monster would not be this sound!" Cologne said.

"It can't be a white ghost!" The mercenary tomboy had already taken the shield and javelin behind her. She could be said to be the person with the most hunting experience among the people present: "No beast or monster on the snow would have such a roar!"

"Let's keep moving forward! I can't let these demons disturb the ancestors' rest!" Artoria looked at Lu Xi with hopeful eyes, but her unquestionable tone had actually made a decision.

Lu Xi shrugged helplessly, but did not object. His right hand subconsciously placed it on the leather hood of the armed belt around his waist, and his heart finally became more stable, and his left hand made a forward gesture: "Then it's still the same, Anji explores the way! Everyone is also ready, we may need to fight at any time!"

Sure enough, as everyone walked into this passage with a warning level that was one-story high and could accommodate several people side by side, the surrounding scenery gradually changed from natural to artificial. The shape of the passage forward was becoming more and more regular, and the four walls were inlaid with blurred stone, which was almost weathered so that it was hard to see clearly, but it could still be seen. There were no candlesticks or oil lamps around the walls, but the gaps between the stone bricks emitted silver blue light, which gave the ancient road hidden deep among the mountains a layer of dreamy color.

That's moonmoss.

If it were the dark elves from the underground, they would not be surprised by such a scene. In the dark, humid and cold underground world, only such inconspicuous small plants are the only opportunity for underground residents to obtain natural light sources.

"Look carefully, the architectural styles in this passage ruins have many Drow Elves styles." Lu Xi looked at a stone pillar that was poured on the ground. The carvings on it were eroded by time and could not be seen clearly, but he could still feel the strong Drow's weird Gothic aesthetic style.

To put it bluntly, only dark elves who live in the underground with barren living supplies, cannot see the sunshine all year round, and even their basic right to survive is threatened at any time, can have such a tendency to self-destruct, and only a nation with such a tendency to self-destruct can create an aesthetic style that is so similar to the Gothic style of another world.

"Can you say that this ruin was built by the Drow Elves?" Cologne said in a slight voice.

"How is this possible? The literature of the Empire Library has never recorded such a thing." The person who spoke was Fran. As Artoria's personal female official, not only took care of the princess' daily life, but naturally there were many business tasks that needed to be handled, and it seemed that she had received a very systematic education.

"But the empire has only been established for a few hundred years, and this remains seems to have been around for a thousand years."

I have to admit that the words that rough people say are very reasonable in many cases, and Fran was speechless.

Why did an ancient altar in the style of Drow'er's elves appear on Mount Atlas? In fact, there was no room for everyone to continue to be troubled by such problems. As the end of the passage gradually approached, another roar suddenly sounded, very close to everyone. The lava-like hot wave came again, and a burst of hot and bright fire exploded at the corner of the passage, which instantly covered the dim silver light of the moonlight moss.

Prepare for the fight! Artoria's face was unmoved, but without saying a word, she directed with gestures.

As soon as everyone held the weapon in their hands, a huge shadow flew out from the corner...or rather, it fell out.

The thing has a head and limbs. At first glance, it should be a giant human man with a wide body and fat body. But when he hit the ground, he made a loud "bang" sound. The metal parts suddenly splashed and scattered. After a closer look, it was clearly a hook-mounted puppet that had been broken up. A small nut flew very far away and rolled in front of Lu Xi. He picked it up, and the texture he bought was as light as feathers. Looking at the silver and beautiful luster, Lu Xi immediately judged its material.

Mithril...

It seems that a long time ago, Lu Xi once said that his biggest dream is to have four puppets, one with mitral, one with gold, one with iron, one with iron, and one with steel... Of course, he himself knew that it was a joke that was particularly funny.

But the problem now is that there are really big dogs who use such precious sacred metals as cannon fodder troops like puppets!

The more important question is that such an expensive puppet flew out like this and fell to pieces in front of him.

If it were normal times, Lu Xi would have collected the parts of the puppet without hesitation. Even if it was sold as scrap iron, it would be enough to buy a townhouse within the first link of Elichar. But is there such a living allowance now?

Artoria raised the sword of victory in front of her as if facing a great enemy, and her dark green pupils were staring at the corner, showing a nervous look for the first time since she went up the mountain.

Not only her, Lu Xi could also feel the terrifying and oppressive feeling of Yuanxi Yuezhi coming from the other side of the passage. The aura should belong to an individual whose strength is far greater than that of himself, and he is a strong person even among the higher demons.

Moreover, there is more than one...

"I thought there was only one Barolo Flame Demon. If there was only one, there was still a way, but I never expected it..." Lu Xi shook his head with a wry smile and took a deep breath. His nose was filled with not only cold air, but also pungent sulfur heat.

"It turns out that the visitors here are not just our family!" The first one was a charming female voice. Judging from the tone alone, it should be a peerless demon who could make a dozen and a half-otaku die with one look, but the sound didn't sound loud, but it instantly resounded through the entire passage, as if he was putting his red lips in front of everyone's ear and whispering.

For this reason, when a young woman with red lips and white teeth, a smart smile, peach blossoms on her face, spring with apricot eyes and proud peaks, a personal breathing became rapid, not because of the granting of the soul, but because of fear and tension, she held the weapons in her hand tighter.

The woman seemed very distressed about everyone's unfamiliarity with her expression, and shook her head with a helpless smile: "Oh, it turns out that it's not a visitor, but a host."

The woman suddenly bent down and swam forward in a strange posture, revealing her black, thick, snake-shaped lower body covered with fine scales, and eight snow-white and elegant arms. Unfortunately, these slender arms that made all the women envious and jealous were holding murderous black gold weapons.

The ultimate evolutionary form among snake demons, it is said that only every thousand headed snake demons can have one eight-armed snake demon!

Of course, just like all bosses will appear at the finale. When the snake demon climbed around the four walls of the passage with a playful smile and looked at everyone at zero, a dark red skin with a huge body with bat wings on its back appeared in front of everyone with great strides compared to the Abyss Refining Demon, the face of this huge monster could still vaguely see the human-style facial features, but the pupils seemed to have been covered with lava. The breathing from the nostrils was not air but hot flames, and the sheep-style plate was engraved with golden and red demon patterns.

This is the messenger of the abyss, the spreader of disasters, the harvester of the soul, and the real nightmare of the creatures in the Qiming war. Ordinary people just feel the breath of each other from afar, and they cannot resist the tremor and fear coming from the depths of their souls.
