Chapter 497: The Last Moment (2)
Hiss--
The shrill and strange and unpleasant scream suddenly invaded everyone's eardrums. In front of the platform of the Book of Gold, a blood-red body covered with dark spots, a gut-shaped monster with a head and tail fitted with a spike and a huge mouthpiece gushing out from the ground. Two long whiskers similar to tentacles were poked out and swinging on the blurred head organ. Although it was impossible to see exactly where its eyes were, everyone felt that the other party was staring at themselves as if they were treating prey.
"Death Bug Hazard!"
Someone immediately screamed after seeing the monster in front of him.
Death insects, also known as sandworms, are an ancient and dangerous creatures that appear in the desert Gobi. Their shape is very strange. The mouthpieces covered with serrated fangs can not only spray highly corrosive and highly toxic liquid, but can even swallow them when the prey is unprepared. Moreover, the eyes of these huge blood-red insects can also shoot unknown energy currents and directly hit distant targets, which can instantly cause the injured to fall into a state of paralysis and cannot move. In addition, their skin is solid, and ordinary weapons cannot break their defenses at all. In case of critical situations, they will also drill into the sand to escape. Therefore, it is often extremely difficult to kill the dead insects.
According to historical records, the dead insects are mainly active in the period of the Age of the Gods to the War of New Faith. There are very few records of the dead insects after the Age of Natural Disasters. Most scholars believe that the dead insects have long been extinct. Only a very small number of people firmly believe that the dead insects still remain in the Salanian Desert, but no one has discovered them yet.
This death bug that appeared in the treasure inheritance of the Holy Land was actually not a trap deliberately arranged by the Salanian royal family, but an outsider who accidentally broke into the holy land. Perhaps it was attracted by the energy dispersed by the Book of Gold. If it were not for food to supplement, it would fall into a deep sleep under the platform. If Xia Lan and the others had not arrived, sooner or later it would die in slept in a deep sleep. Unfortunately, when Xinosong walked onto the platform, he woke up by smelling the food.
When people are hungry, everything is food, let alone a terrifying creature that has been hungry for countless years.
Of course, Xia Lan knew about the death worms sleeping on the platform. He did not tell Xinosong and the others, because he originally planned to use the death worms to kill all the black camel knights present. Although some unexpected changes occurred in the process, Fortunately, the result was still smoothly as he planned.
The moment the death worm appeared, he took Winnie and Adrina to escape directly while the guard was stunned. The Black Camel Knight who found out that the situation ignored it. Perhaps it was the death of Cinosong that caused their strong indignation, or perhaps due to the influence of the Book of Gold, all the Black Camel Knights fought desperately against the Death worm.
Escaped from the Golden Gate and returned to the center of the arena, Xia Lan immediately closed the stone door. There was another thing he did not explain. The stone door could only be opened from the outside, and people inside could never go out.
System: Completely open the treasure inheritance of Salania Holy Land (required) (current exploration progress 88%)
After looking at the mission prompts. According to the overall situation of the holy land informed by the chief warlock in the second trial, he knew that in addition to the treasure inheritance behind the stone gate, there was another hidden mysterious space. This space was not in other places in the holy land, but under the platform where the Book of Gold was placed behind the stone gate.
Now he only needs to wait for the Black Camel Knight and the Death Worm behind the Stone Gate to suffer losses before entering the fisherman's benefit.
Before this, he had one more important thing to complete.
"Adelina, you feel okay in your physical condition?" Xia Lan asked tentatively at the weak and breathless Adelina beside her with a caring look.
"It's a bit strange. I have obviously recovered some of my strength, but I can't mobilize the power in my body no matter how I." Adelina wiped the sweat from her forehead and said distressedly.
"Yeah?"
Xia Lan reached out and stroked her little head, and smiled gently on her face.
"Then, you can have a good rest."
As soon as he finished speaking, the hand knife that condensed with a strong aura suddenly slashed on the back of Adrina's head.
With the last trace of consciousness about to fall into darkness, Adrina looked at Xia Lan with a confused look, as if she didn't know why he wanted to knock herself out.
Holding Adelina who was limp in her arms and gently placed it on the ground. Xia Lan's face was coldly untied from her clothes, revealing the white and delicate skin on her chest and abdomen. Her fingers slowly slid on it, and her eyes were filled with a frenzy and sickness like appreciating artworks. A shiny dagger with a cold light appeared in his hand. The moment the sharp tip of the knife pierced into Adelina's chest, he instantly put away the dagger.
"What do you want to do to my Lord?"
A voice with majestic anger suddenly rang out in the arena. At some point, Deniuschen's figure appeared in front of them.
Bang--
Only a terrifying force full of murderous intent was coming, and Xia Lan, who was hastily defended, was bombarded by the wall of the arena, and a large pit was smashed into the ground, slowly sliding down to the ground like a painting.
Dannyon snorted coldly, and picked up Adelina, who was in a mess, and no one dared to offend the dignity of my master, would not forgive me. If Xia Lan had not put away the dagger at the critical moment, he would have found that Dannyon had killed Xia Lan with a clench just now.
Yes, Xia Lan did not die, but it was no different from death.
The energy in his body was dispersed, his muscles were severely torn, his internal organs were severely damaged, and he didn't know how many bones were broken. Now he is a useless person, and he can't stand up even if he stands.
The sudden situation shocked Winnie for a long time. The first thing she did after she woke up and came back to her senses was to walk towards Xia Lan. Dannyson, who saw it, did not stop him because he didn't care about this insignificant woman at all.
After checking Adelina's situation, he was sure that his life was safe. Daniochen immediately prepared to perform time and space teleportation. However, the special enclosed space structure of the holy land caused a great obstacle to his teleportation. He would not be successful for a while. He could only pray that the Salanians outside could help them delay the pursuit of the Radiant Temple.
Unfortunately, things often go in the worst direction.
"Danihochen! You can't escape!"
No one was seen, and the sound was heard first. The fierce roar from Allagon made direct interruption of half of the time and space teleportation.
A moment. The light shines above the arena. Allagon and Beves arrive first.
The battle is about to break out.
"Xia Lan..."
In the corner where no one cared, Winnie walked to Xia Lan and whispered.
Xia Lan, who was covered in blood, opened her blurred eyes, and he quietly looked at Winnie without saying a word.
"Are you going to die?"
Winnie squatted down and reached out to stroke his cheek, with an indescribable tenderness in her words.
"Are you happy?" Xia Lan opened her mouth, and her voice was like a mosquito.
"Yes, I'm very happy, because you're the only one now." Winnie smiled. "A normal person like me."
"You want to kill me?" Xia Lan asked again.
"Yes. I want to kill you, but I won't let you die so easily." Winnie said.
"Can you ask for something in the end?" Xia Lan said.
"What's the matter?" said Winnie.
"Help me into that door." Xia Lan's eyes passed over her and looked at the stone gate in the middle of the arena.
"That door..."
Winnie turned her head and looked, and the silent battle had already begun on Allagon and Denioshen.
"It's dangerous there, I may not be able to help you."
"Is there a difference between dying early and dying late?" Xia Lan said.
"No." Winnie opened her arms and put them on his shoulders, and helped Xia Lan up with all her strength.
"Why would you help me?" Xia Lan was puzzled.
"Does it take a reason to love or hate someone?" Winnie moved forward with difficulty.
“…”
Xia Lanmo kept silent. He used to like not asking why, because he didn't want to know. Now, others don't ask why, but he wants to know.
"I'll kill you."
"I know."
The stone gate was getting closer and closer. Winnie turned a deaf ear to him.
“…”
Xia Lan closed her eyes.
A strong wind blew, and Winnie and Xia Lan both blew to the ground.
"Take my Lord with you!"
He noticed that two reinforcements from the Glory Church appeared again in the arena. Dannyonchen, who was protecting Adrina from harm while fighting against Allagon, directly issued an order in the heart of Winnie Shalan!
Is this considered sending a sheep into the tiger's mouth?
Winnie sighed softly as she asked Denioshen to send him to the ground in front of the stone gate, but she still didn't stop her steps supporting Xia Lan.
Finally, they approached the stone gate, pushed open the stone gate, and entered the stone gate.
The golden corridor was messy at this time, with gold bricks and blood everywhere. Winnie dragged Adelina and Xia Lan in and sat on the ground with her back against the closed stone door as if she was exhausted, and looked at Xia Lan.
"Aren't you worried that the monster still alive to eat us?"
"There are no living things here except us." Xia Lan coughed in pain and said several times, "Take us to the Book of Gold."
"I'm afraid it will take a long time." Winnie stared blankly at the endless corridor.
"It's okay, I can wait."
Winnie stood up again. This time she no longer took the method of supporting her. Because the two of them were difficult to support her, she directly grabbed Xia Lan and Adrina's back coat with both hands and started dragging her step by step. However, she was weak and she had to rest and recover her strength every time she dragged her for a distance, otherwise she would not have been able to hold on for the last time.
The incomplete corpses of the Black Camel Knight gradually found on the road in the corridor. The air was filled with strong blood and pungent sulfuric acid. Through the corridor displayed by the weapons and armor, they were about to arrive at the platform where the Book of Gold was placed. The huge blood-red corpse of the dead insect stopped them from moving.
"Leave Adrina behind and find a way to take me over to the platform." Seeing this, Xia Lan made a quick decision.
"What exactly is there worthy of your attention? Even more important than the relics in Adrina's body?" asked Winnie.
"I'm sorry, you can't escape."
