The sound of water came suddenly. Although it was not very loud, because they were very close and their hearing was extraordinary, they all heard it very clearly.

Lance's face changed slightly, and he was the first to rush out of the tree hole and rushed to the edge of the lake.

Standing by the mysterious lake, looking around, I saw that the lake water was retreating at a slow and even speed!

The sound of water just now was the slight sound made when the lake water receded.

"What's going on?"

Landry looked at everything in front of him in surprise and couldn't help but ask, "Isn't the summer solstice yet?"

No one can answer him. Because he was right, the real summer solstice is two days later, and it is indeed not time yet today.

Lord Lawrence once said it very clearly that only when the summer solstice comes, the Sivare Castle will open a unique entrance.

But everything in front of him seemed to violate his words.

Everyone stood quietly by the lake, watching the black lake water slowly retreating.

After about ten minutes, the lake water receded halfway and the entire lake shrank a large circle. However, at this time, the trend of the lake water receding was stopped.

"Did it be returned in batches?"

Lance thought so.

At this moment, a dark light shone in front of his eyes.

"What is that?"

He narrowed his eyes and opened the hawk's eyes. Under the faint moonlight, he could see the original appearance of the thing at a glance.

That's...half a coffin!

The veins on Lance's forehead were revealed, and he widened his eyes. He looked carefully at the lake water-

As the lake water was pulled away by unknown forces, the height of the lake surface dropped a lot, so a small piece of black object was exposed in the central area near the island and the eastern mountain walls.

At the beginning, Lance didn't care, but after careful examination, he was almost sure that this was a coffin!

A coffin buried in the soil, half of its body covered under the water, and one-quarter of the corners exposed in the air!

"The Coffin of the Sycamore."

Dora murmured.

Obviously, she also saw this scene. Although her eyesight was not as good as Lance, after blessing a few spells, she could barely see the original appearance of the coffin.

"You guys say, what's there?" Landry shook his head and asked.

Lance shrugged: "This is only known to the people in the coffin, if there is one. We have to find a way to go. The lake is still a long way from the coffin. I bet that this will become a problem that has troubled us for a long time."

As expected, after walking into the lake for a while, the group did encounter difficulties.

They simply couldn't reach the coffin.

The mysterious lake water has terrifying magic power, and the wizard who step into it will definitely die of magic power; even standing on the edge of the lake water, Lance and others can clearly feel that their magic power is suppressed and disturbed. They cannot step into the water.

However, flying over from the sky is not a feasible solution.

There is a no-fly area over the lake. Not to mention that Lance can't control the magic carpet, even when birds from nature fly over this area, they will fall down and be corroded by the lake water.

Before, Lance tried to use a sealing ring to test the strangeness of the lake water. The test results dispelled his idea of ​​trying to cross the mysterious lake. The birds and beasts controlled by him died very miserably, and Lance did not want to be one of them.

“We are about thirty feet away.”

Lance stood by the lake, three feet away, and was the black lake water.

He calculated silently that if he jumped hard, he would probably be able to jump to the coffin... But no one knows what will happen after that.

"Perhaps we should wait," Sacra suggested. "This lake is so scary that we shouldn't take risks easily."

"But this is part of the prophecy." Dora emphasized: "Many parts of the prophecy have been fulfilled one by one, and this is the second to last. I always feel that opening the coffin can solve some mysteries."

"Dora is right."

Lance pondered: "All the way we walked, we passed the witchcraft sword forest. Landry and I heard the sound of crying. This is mostly [Crying Jungle]; then [between the white stone waters, there was once a gorgeous palace from the past]. This sentence should refer to the mysterious lake and the Castle of Sivare on the island; the lurking demon refers to the cave demon, and the dancing death god may be Alfred, the consul of the underworld - of course, it is also possible to be talking about me; only one-sixth of the heroic spirits of the king are left. After all, [Coffin of the Sakura] has been shown before us."

"I think it's an imminent matter to open that coffin. If we wait for the lake to completely retreat, it may lead to delays in the timing. Of course, it may be even more likely to encounter artificial obstacles."

The rest of the people were silent. Of course they knew that the "artificial obstacle" mentioned by Lance was naturally the wizard of the Flower Scorpion Society.

Under the premise that Lance did not use the trump card magic sword Orphe, these people may not be really opponents of the people of the Flower Scorpion Society, but they are scared by Lance and dare not have a conflict with Lance and others for the time being.

However, the conflict of interest between the two sides is inevitable. Once the conflict intensifies to a certain extent, the wizard of the Flower Scorpion Society will definitely take action to test it. If Cowen finds that Lance cannot maintain that powerful combat power for a long time, the outcome will be very obvious...

"But we can't do it!" Landry stressed: "Are you going to take risks with yourself?"

"That's not the case. There is no way now, but I have to think about it."

After Lance said this, he began to think carefully.

...

In this flash, half an hour passed.

Landry had already yawned, Sacra looked serious, Dora was thinking hard, her face was gloomy.

Lance frowned and thought for a long time, but there was no way!

This is different from the past. In the face of this mysterious and mysterious lake, he actually lost all the countermeasures. The feeling of stagnation of thinking has not been felt by Lance for a long time.

He has always had many good ideas, but he was helpless between the thirty-foot lake water.

"It's not a solution for us to stand like this."

Dora sighed: "Maybe Landry is right, when the summer solstice arrives, the lake will naturally recede."

Lance shook his head, but he couldn't say it, so he could only agree to say, "Okay, let's leave here first."

The group had just walked out for a while, a rapid figure suddenly flashed in the jungle ahead!

"Someone!" Landry shouted softly and warned: "Beware of it, everyone."

Without his reminder, Lance had already seen the person coming.

He walked forward with great strides, and the sword of Macon was already stuck behind him.

Whoosh!

A nimble black shadow fell in front of Lance. As soon as he fell, he yelled at Lance.

The rest of the people were stunned for a moment. Only Lance was proficient in the Abyss Speech, but could clearly understand what he was saying.

This person who came is naturally the leader of the cave demon.

"Humans, I am very grateful for your previous help, but there is no long-term friendship between the demons and humans. I am willing to help you to repay the kindness you helped us just now. From then on, we will clear our minds."

Hearing this, Lance showed a look of surprise on his face.

It is not a strange thing for the cave demon to know the Abyss Words; but what is strange is that this guy actually has good intelligence and can speak the Abyss Words so smoothly, and there are a few awkward and profound words. Lance also thought about it for a while before he understood what he meant.

He immediately responded, "How are you going to help us?"

The leader of the cave devil spoke, "I have been observing in the dark for a long time. You seem to be very interested in that piece of wood, aren't you?"

Lance's heart was shocked. This guy's lurking ability was so strong that he had observed his group in the dark for so long that he had no warning at all!

He pondered for a while and it seemed that this guy really had no malice.

So he said, "That's true, if you can get that piece of wood for us, we'll be very grateful."

"This is not very difficult." The leader of the cave devil said this and waved to Lance and others.

The rest showed a look of vigilance.

Lance explained to them, and the few people hesitated for a moment, and followed the cave demon leader to the depths of the jungle.

They ran along the lakeside in the jungle. The Cave Demon Leader significantly slowed down so that they could keep up. Even so, all three except Lance were very difficult to follow. Especially Dora, as a second-level wizard, the dark spells were known for their high movement speed, and she almost didn't keep up with Lance and the Cave Demon Leader, which made her very depressed.

After running around for about half an hour, they returned to the mountain wall to the west.

Pulling open the bushes, the demon leader in the cave skillfully drilled into the cave where they met before.

Lance and others looked at each other, but gritted their teeth and followed in.

The appearance of the cave has not changed. At the corner, the cave demon leader let out a hurry.

The group immediately followed.

The cave demon leader quickly leaned against the stone wall, groped for a long time, and rumbling, a secret passage suddenly appeared on the originally extremely smooth stone wall.

The secret passage is very narrow, and you can only crawl alone.

The leader of the cave devil jumped into the secret passage and said, "Come with me."

At that moment, Lance was the first to follow, and the rest followed closely behind.

They crawled in the narrow secret passage for a while, and after leaving the secret passage, they were already on a cliff platform about fifty feet from the lake.

Standing on this small platform and looking down, there was a dark lake. The coffins in the middle of the lake were also listed. (To be continued...)
