In all fairness, Vivian was more than happy to "help" Lily under such circumstances. It was a rare opportunity for her to openly kick the werewolf. Since the stupid werewolf had asked for it, the vampire lady did not hesitate. She knew that she was not as strong as the werewolf, so she ran for more than thirty meters. Her kick was so powerful that it broke through the air. The sound was like silk ripping. Hao Ren was panicking as he watched from the side.
When Lily finally got up, the two of them began to fight.
"That pit is so deep, and it looks like a vertical well. How do you jump in a parabola?" Lily's focus was obviously not right.
"Can't you just use the momentum from the side to jump when you reach the hole? Even if you can't react in time, you can adjust the angle when you take off, right? You're like an idiot all the time. It's embarrassing to live under the same roof as you! "Vivian's focus was not right either.
"Can you two keep quiet for a while?!" In the end, it was Hao Ren who unleashed his authority as the landlord (actually, it was not much of an authority, it was just that the two superwomen had a good temper). His loud voice finally got the two ladies to focus on the matter at hand. "We haven't finished here yet. What about the tin cans down there? What about the runes and seals in the crypt that are malfunctioning? More importantly, what about the stone? "
Hao Ren pointed at the Demon Stone that Lily had tossed aside. The one-meter-long black crystal was still the same as when it first "awakened". It glowed red under the night sky. Hao Ren relied on his thick nerves and powerful background to carefully knock on the thing a few times. He realized that it was not as cold as ordinary rocks. It was warm and vibrating slightly. When he put his ear close to it, he could even hear a hoarse whisper coming from the crystal. The Demon Stone was like a restless tuning fork. It felt like it was constantly releasing some kind of message. However, no one knew how to stop it.
At first, Hao Ren felt that he should run away immediately. This was in line with his philosophy of "safety first". However, when he expressed this idea, Vivian told him that the devil was a creature that was extremely good at spreading its power through a medium. When the Demon Stone began to pulse, everyone who came into contact with the red light would be "marked" by it. The owner of the Demon Stone had the ability to track anyone who came close to the stone. Running away would be useless. Instead, it might even make the devil more interested in hunting.
"When you're targeted by the devil, you only have two choices," Vivian reminded Hao Ren (and Lily, who was also a dabbler next to her) solemnly. "You can either hope that the devil isn't interested in you, or you can fight it head-on. There's no third option. Those guys will spread their power everywhere. Very few people can escape from the devil's eyes."
No matter what the devil was like in novels and television, the "real" devil that Vivian knew was like that.
So, Hao Ren could only bite the bullet and stay next to the stone. He wanted to see if Vivian, the old … professional who had dealt with the devil before, could cut off the connection between the stone and the devil.
"If the other party is a low-level devil, my blood can cover the stone's aura. Once the aura of the stone is covered, the dead guards in the crypt will calm down. At least, they will be easier to deal with." Vivian had already circled the Demon Stone a few times. She was now hesitant. "But if it's a high-level devil, not only will it not block the signal, but it will also let the owner of the stone know that there's something 'fun' here. Those battle maniacs love to fight, but there are very few creatures that can defeat them. High-level Blood Breeds are the perfect target for them to provoke. They are evenly matched, and they can fight for a long time."
Lily limped and walked around in circles. "You can just say that you are very powerful."
"Now is not the time to joke," Vivian glared at Lily. "What do you know, a little girl who hasn't even grown her hair yet? It's not a good thing to get involved with a devil. They are one-track minded, and they will chase their target until they die. I hate fighting. I don't know why, but I just hate fighting and killing. Only a ghost would want to be associated with those lunatics. "
Hao Ren looked at Lily and asked, "Why are you walking like that?"
Lily pitifully formed her tail. A third of the hair on it was gone, and the shape was a little crooked. "I was hit by the stone just now. Looks like it's going to hurt for a few days."
Hao Ren looked up at the sky. A few dozen tons of granite had hit me, and I only lost some hair and some skin. What's there to be dissatisfied about? "
"Who cares, let's give it a try first." Vivian seemed to have made up her mind. She looked up at the sky. "The moon is about to set. I have to get rid of this stone while I can. I'm afraid that even the slowest of devils will react in time. Doggie, stand guard here. I can sense a lot of undead approaching the surface. They might be coming for the stone. Help me block them."
Lily replied with a confident smile. "Alright! I just need to block them, right? "
Vivian nodded and did not say anything else. She stood quietly a few meters away from the Demon Stone. She opened her arms slightly, and a blood-red mist began to spread from her body.
Almost at the same time, Lily heard a familiar crashing sound approaching.
The undead guards were still underground, but they were about to reach the surface.
The underground palace originally had a very tight seal system, and key places such as the demonic chamber and the knight's tomb were actually hidden. Angus, the owner of the inn, did not discover these shocking secrets buried deep underground years ago. He only walked a few shallow tunnels, and did not actually destroy or trigger the layout of the underground palace. However, hundreds of years had passed, and time itself was enough to destroy the seal of the underground palace. Everything that happened these few days just happened to reach the critical point.
A large number of Letta runes had failed, the confinement of the demonic chamber had weakened, and a large number of paranormal enthusiasts had gathered around the castle. Their blind probing was the last straw that broke the crypt. The Demon Stone was slightly activated, activating the defense mechanism of the crypt, awakening the sleeping guards, and triggering everything that happened today.
As for the scene where the Demon Stone fell to the ground and glowed red, it was just a slight activation to a full-blown awakening. In fact, long before Hao Ren and the rest entered the crypt, the thing was already restless. Otherwise, how could Angus be blocked by the runic wall that suddenly appeared?
Originally, there was a mechanism in the underground palace to deal with such a situation. When the demonic chamber was triggered, and the undead guards could not control the situation, all the entrances and exits of the underground palace would be blocked by huge enchanted rocks. This was to suppress the demons and prevent the vengeful spirits from escaping and harming others. Unfortunately, these mechanisms had been destroyed by time. Now, the passageways leading to the surface of the underground palace were wide open, and the undead knights were coming to the surface in an organized formation.
Clatter clatter, clatter clatter …
The familiar sound of armor clashing suddenly became clear. Under the moonlight, the first armor suddenly appeared on a collapsed stone pillar not far away!
Lily was already prepared. The brute force girl was holding a huge granite block that was half a meter wide and more than a meter long. Her face was full of excitement. When the first armor appeared, she immediately threw the stone at it. "Although I don't know why the bricks here are so big... My Pegasus Meteor Brick is compatible with all cuboid ammunition!"
The granite block, which weighed a ton, exploded in the air and smashed into the first armor. Suddenly, the place was flat. No matter how strong the resurrection ability of the armor was, it was impossible for it to stand up this time.
Without worrying about the environment of the crypt, and with an inexhaustible supply of "ammunition" at hand, Lily, the Brick Superman, felt that she was invincible. She believed that she could use the super-huge bricks that could be found everywhere in the ancient castle to smash every tin can that appeared in front of her. Thinking of this, Lily felt a little excited. Before the moon had completely set, she quickly howled at the moon. This was her trademark. When she felt that she was invincible, she would howl at the moon.
Just when Lily's howl scared Hao Ren, something even more frightening happened.
Not far away, Vivian's ritual suddenly went out of control. The Demon Stone suddenly burst into an unprecedented red light, and a terrifying voice rumbled above the three of them.
"# # ¥% ¥# ¥@ ¥% # @?"
Oh, I don't understand the demonic language.
At that moment, Hao Ren knew that Vivian's unshakable bad luck had worked its magic once again …
