"Alger, keep an eye on him," Charning Leidon said. "He didn't panic at all when he saw the Dark Minions. It doesn't look like it's his first time seeing magic creatures."
"Uncle, you suspect that he's with the black witch?"
"That's possible," Charning Leidon said. Charnin Leidon said, "You said that he jumped off the ship before the black witch attacked the pirate ship. I don't think he did it to commit suicide, but to avoid the black witch's attack. Maybe he led the black witch to attack."
Alger felt that Charning Leidon's explanation made sense.
"Take this and get close to him." Charning Leidon gave Alger a ring. There was a spirit stone embedded on it. "If he's a spiritualist, the stone on the ring will light up."
"Okay, got it."
It wasn't Alger's first time using the ring to test someone, so he was familiar with it.
Alger pretended that nothing had happened and casually walked to Chen Zhao's side. He hid his hands in his pants pockets.
However, he didn't see the pocket light up for a moment, but it quickly disappeared.
The spirit stone could indeed test someone's magic power, but if it exceeded the limit, it would self-destruct, just like an electrical short circuit.
Alger took out his hand and secretly glanced at the ring on it.
It didn't light up. It seemed that he wasn't a spiritualist.
Since he wasn't, his threat was greatly reduced.
Even if he was related to the black witch, it didn't matter.
There were many damages along the way, but they weren't from the corrosion of time.
They looked like they'd been damaged by some sharp weapon.
Judging from these traces, a battle had taken place here.
Or maybe it was a massacre.
The team would occasionally encounter a Dark Minions.
"Weird. Is the black witch crazy? Can these Dark Minions be a threat to us if they're released one by one?" Charning Leidon was confused. He turned to Zoron and Emily. "What do you think?"
"I'm confused too. First, how did she know we were in the secret passage?"
"Unless she was the one who arranged for us to enter the secret tunnel …" Chining Leidon's heart skipped a beat. He abruptly turned his head and searched among his subordinates for the one who had sunk into the ground. You are a traitor! "
The man abruptly raised his head to look at Chanin Leidon. Then, with lightning speed, he raised his gun and shot himself in the chin.
"Oh no, it's a trap!" Alger panicked. "Let's go."
"We can't go anymore. We're already in the middle of the secret passage. We can only go forward. There's no turning back."
Just then, Chen Zhao suddenly said, "I see."
Everyone looked at him. "What are you talking about?"
"It's nothing. You guys continue."
Chen Zhao finally figured out why the corpses at the entrance were acting strangely.
…
At this moment, in the center of the island, the Black Witch Ava and her subordinates stood inside a huge ring-shaped altar.
To the left of the ring-shaped altar was a huge lake.
The lake was like a natural sapphire embedded in the center of the island.
"Master, the people from the Althio family and the Leidon family have already entered the secret passage according to plan." A black-clothed woman came to Ai Wa's side and said.
"En, then let's follow the plan." Ai Wa said indifferently.
Adam had been standing beside Ava in silence the whole time.
He hadn't known Ava's plan before.
But gradually, he knew.
The Althio family and the Leidon family probably wouldn't even dream of it.
They'd gotten his mother's whereabouts because his mother had purposely leaked it.
It was to heavily injure them.
Actually, it was a very simple scheme.
But the effect was very good.
That was to directly draw the lake water into the secret passage.
At Ava's command, the barrier between the lake water and the secret passage's exit was immediately opened.
Instantly, the lake water surged into the secret passage.
Other than the lake water, many dark minions also surged into the passage.
Dark minions could adapt to most environments.
On land, their four limbs could run very fast.
In the water, they could swim freely.
He had to admit that his mother's vicious methods were something even he couldn't compare to.
But he was very glad that at least he didn't have to be enemies with his mother.
…
Rumble —
"What's that sound?" Chanin Leidon asked, puzzled.
At the same time, the airflow in the passage became very unstable, blowing toward the team in the passage.
An ominous feeling rose in everyone's heart.
Chen Zhao had already guessed it.
He found a place with a handhold and grabbed the wall.
"What are you doing?"
"There's water surging toward us," Chen Zhao said.
"What?" Everyone paled in fright.
But before they could react, the water was already rushing toward them.
Instantly, the entire passage fell into chaos.
Before it happened, Chen Zhao had already thought it through.
The dark minions from before weren't there to attack the team. They were there to find out where the team was.
If the team was too close to the passage, they would have a chance to retreat.
Thus, he had to find out where the team was.
Along the way, Chen Zhao realized that it was too clean.
He thought of the bones in the deep pit when he'd entered.
They hadn't been thrown down from above. They'd been in the passage when they were alive.
Then, someone had let water wash them into the deep pit.
Just then, something stuck to Chen Zhao's face.
Chen Zhao pulled it down. It was actually a dark minion.
This black witch was really meticulous.
Just letting the lake water flow into the passage was enough to put them in danger.
There were even dark minions mixed in the water.
However, Chen Zhao realized that Chanin Leidon and the others weren't just sitting there waiting for death.
They actually had portable breathing apparatus with them.
Moreover, their weapons could be used freely in the water.
Of course, at least half of them were washed away the moment the lake water rushed over.
The backpacks on their backs could actually spit out strong air currents to push them forward.
"Their equipment is really good," Chen Zhao thought.
Chanin Leidon looked back and saw Chen Zhao clinging to the wall.
But he clearly didn't plan on helping. To him, Chen Zhao would definitely die.
Without underwater thrusters or portable breathing apparatus, Chen Zhao didn't need the dark minions. The lake water alone could kill him.
Therefore, he did not linger any longer and took the lead to rush forward.
Seeing that the people who'd reacted had all left, Chen Zhao also started swimming forward.
