The chamber that held the brain monster was located right below the queen's palace. Strictly speaking, it was not a prison, but a sturdy basement. There was no prison in Nasaton. As an immigration spaceship, the city only had detention facilities similar to a detention cell, and the level of security was far from adequate. That was why the Queen of the Sirens had ordered the monster to be locked up in her basement. This was the strongest cage in the entire city — but obviously, it was too close to the queen's bedroom, and this had fatal consequences.
Shaqira was assigned to the team that went to the brain monster's chamber. She and Hao Ren took the lead into the dim tunnel. After confirming that there were no enemies along the way, they called the others down. Vivian looked at the dim and cramped old pipes and the bubbling wall joints around her. She frowned slightly. "This place looks like no one has been here for many years, and the design doesn't look like a normal corridor."
"This is a water pressure regulating pipe, not the entrance to the secret chamber." Shaqira knew a little bit about this place. "The real entrance to the secret chamber should be inside the palace, and this is just a place like a ventilation pipe. After the corpses left here, no one should have come in and out of this place. "
Vivian suddenly felt a little emotional. "Nominally, the brain monster is' imprisoned 'here, but in fact, this place has become the monster's fortress. The ones who have really lost their freedom are the guards outside. Things related to the Plane of Dreams are really hard to guard against. "
While leading the way, Shaqira curiously looked back and asked, "What is the Plane of Dreams?"
"I'll let you have a look if there's a chance," Hao Ren replied casually, and at the same time, he was a little curious. "What did you do in Nasaton before? Why are you so familiar with the queen's palace? "
Shaqira smiled shyly. "I used to be the queen's bodyguard... Err, the peripheral kind, incomparable to the queen's guards. But when I was a bodyguard, I was still allowed to walk inside and outside the palace, so I know a little about this place, and I'm familiar with the sentries nearby. Sorma was a technician responsible for the maintenance of the palace's magic gears, and she was also a high-ranking water mage. "
Lily's ears twitched. "Bodyguard and maintenance worker? How did you choose the messengers who came ashore? "
Shaqira shrugged. "Drawing lots, random roll call, and volunteering. I was confused for a long time after I got ashore because the order I received when I set off was a mess."
Lily said straightforwardly, "To be honest, when your queen decided to draw lots for such an important matter, you should have realized that she was not in her right mind."
Hao Ren scratched his chin and said, "If that's the case, Raven 12345 can do this kind of thing at any time. It is said that when she made the new Aerym planet, she threw the dice and randomly selected it."
"Do you think your God is sane?"
As soon as Lily's voice fell, she immediately hugged her head and hid behind Hao Ren. She was afraid that she would be struck by lightning. However, after waiting for a long time, not even a spark came out. Hao Ren patted her head and said, "Don't be afraid. Stating the facts won't trigger the divine punishment."
This was the glorious tradition of Hao Ren's team: whoever did not diss, that was who.
While this group of people was groping their way through the dark and cramped sewer, another group of people above was blasting their way through the Queen's palace. Their momentum was far more powerful than that of Hao Ren's team underground.
"Boom!" A ball of scorching sulfur fire blasted away the two shrieking sentries and blew open a big hole in the wall. The surrounding water flowed in all directions, filling the air with the pungent smell of sulfur. Y'lisabet held a fireball almost half the size of her body in both hands and swung it out. She shouted, "Fighting in the water is so frustrating! There's not much power left! "
Nangong Sanba stared at Y'lisabet's fireball while using his crossbow to hold back the siren sentinels. "You think that's not powerful enough?!"
Y'lisabet silently released another super large fireball. This time, she simply did not throw it outwards, but held the fireball and rushed directly into the crowd of enemies. She was like a guided missile rampaging through the crowd, smashing everything in sight with a fireball. The fireball created by demonic magic had an extremely hard, scorching iron core inside, and anyone who came into contact with it would die. The power was terrifying. If human mages were to see this kind of fighting style, they would probably be scared out of their wits. Even among the demons, few dared to fight like this. Only Y'lisabet, the "weak and sickly" demon princess, had put all her combat points into magic, and as a result, she had such a strange and powerful spell control!
They were breaking through the last line of defense of the queen's guards. After the alarm sounded, countless of the queen's guards swarmed to protect the queen. They did not know how many enemies they had killed, nor how many of them had resurrected to fight again. Only Hasse and White Flame could deal with the resurrection of these siren guards to a certain extent. The former was proficient in the skill of quickly applying seals in battle, and the latter's talent of Sacred Flame could damage the soul.
But in any case, Y'zaks's overwhelming combat power was still effective here. In the simple and brutal assault, the queen's room was right in front of them. Hasse could almost feel the terrible pressure coming from behind the door in front of him. It was not a tangible magic wave or anything else, but simply the vigilance of an old demon hunter.
Finally, as Y'zaks punched the last door in front of the bedroom, the surrounding siren guards suddenly scattered as if they had suddenly received some order. In the blink of an eye, they were all gone.
"Why did they run away?" Nangong Sanba gasped. After confirming that the guards had really run away, he suddenly became arrogant. He put the big crossbow on his shoulder and said, "Pfft, I thought they were strong, but they are just a bunch of stragglers."
Nangong Sanba was treating the injury on his arm as she said, "Can you stop pretending now? Look at your injury! "
Y'zaks was also stunned when he saw the guards retreating. He immediately warned everyone, "Everyone, be careful. Something may not be right."
Hasse silently chanted a few spells in front of the cracked palace door. After confirming that there were no traps or ambushes behind it, he carefully pushed the door open.
The heavy door of the palace shattered into pieces and slowly fell down. Everyone immediately raised their weapons or prepared their magic and rushed into the palace, fully prepared.
The inner chamber was quiet. Under the dim light, they could see that it was a gorgeous and spacious room, furnished with all kinds of unknown furniture. The fierce battle that broke out just now did not seem to affect the inside at all. It was as quiet as usual as if it was isolated from the world.
A figure emerged from the shadow of the dim light. Hasse immediately raised his crossbow and said, "Attention!"
"You … are here …"
A hissing voice came from all around, and the figure swam out from the shadows and appeared in front of everyone. She was a siren in the form of a mermaid, with a graceful appearance and bright eyes.
While maintaining the water enchantment around everyone, Sorma subconsciously called out, "Your Majesty …"
The siren queen floated quietly in the water, her posture was a little strange and stiff. She tilted her head and looked at the enemies in front of her. There was no hostility, but pure curiosity. "You … are abnormal, there is an unrecognizable breath …"
She stiffly raised her arm and pointed at Y'zaks and his daughter. "You two, what are you?"
Hasse frowned and said, "Wait a minute … Why do I feel that this siren queen is different from the other controlled sirens?"
At the same time, in the underground space hundreds of meters below the queen's bedroom, Hao Ren was also approaching the last isolation door.
A huge block of ice was slowly falling beside them, and inside it were two siren guards with dark eyes. Vivian clapped her hands and said, "I feel that my ice is quite effective against the sirens: at least they won't be able to resurrect for a while."
"The living conditions here are worse than expected." Hao Ren touched the heavy and dilapidated alloy isolation door in front of him and looked around. It was a cramped and depressing place, normal people would never like to live here. "After the brain monster took control of Nasaton, it didn't know to change to a better room. Looking at this place, I really feel like it's being held captive."
"Different worldview," Lily wagged her tail. "Hurry up, hurry up, open it."
"Y 'zaks and the rest don't have to worry about mental attacks when they deal with the queen," Hao Ren smiled and reached out to the door. "We have to be vigilant."
After the cutting beam passed through, the door of the secret chamber silently split in half.
Hao Ren saw the gigantic brain again: it curled up on the ground in the middle of the circular chamber, its skin slightly undulating in the water. The moment the door opened, the gigantic brain reacted and immediately floated up, all tentacles in front of it, on guard against everyone.
Hao Ren frowned. "Wait a minute … Why do I feel that this gigantic brain is different from the one I've seen before?"
