A gust of cold wind blew, making Reina feel cold. She shivered and wiped her arms.
"Wait! Let me take a good look. Are you saying that you spent so much effort just to let me save you? Are you saying that you have no other plans and are counting on me? "
She looked at Jurgen in surprise, and the latter showed a guilty expression.
"Yes, this is the prophecy of the prophet. This is the only way to save Caldera. In order to stop the attack of the Hybrid Demons, we have done our best. We need a hero, just like the human hero and the Demon Demon King. "
Jurgen lowered his head and said. He avoided Reina's gaze, and his eyes became a little blurred. In his imagination, Linnai should be an existence that could swallow a bull and uproot mountains and rivers, but in the end, he discovered that she was actually an incomparably delicate looking human girl.
He knew that this was too heavy for a human girl in her teens. Even a warrior who had experienced hundreds of battles could not do it.
The fate of Caldera was in her hands. This was wrong. Perhaps the prophecy was wrong. He could not stop this thought from appearing in his mind. This was blasphemy to the Moon God. He should not doubt the prophecy. It was the guidance of the Moon God.
Reina frowned. She wanted to get rid of the curse, but she found that the power of the curse was far beyond her imagination. She had even reached the third level. Was this not what the curse wanted her to do?
"What else did the prophecy say? Did it not say what I should do? "
"No …"
Hearing this, Reina sighed and complained, "If you ask me, this prophecy is even more unreliable than mine. Really, I don't know why you all believe in this nonsense."
"This is not nonsense! This is … fate. As long as we do what the prophecy says, we can achieve the result of the prophecy. This is the secret of Caldera's existence for thousands of years. We have achieved the prophecy hundreds of times. "
Jurgen retorted.
"So magical? If it is so powerful, why not use the prophecy to kill those Hybrid Demons? "
Reina crossed her arms and said unhappily.
"Because this is something we can't do. We applied for it a hundred years ago and paid a huge price. You saw it too. The demon's mouth is a living warning. However, when you appeared, the prophecy changed. This is the first time we have this possibility. We are willing to pay any price for it. Furthermore, this is also your destiny! "
With a buzz, Reina felt a little dizzy.
Destiny.
This word was like a nightmare, causing Reina to feel fear. How did he know?
"Fate, what is fate?"
"This is what you are destined to do. You cannot avoid it."
"Like death?"
"…"
Jurgen was silent. He did not know how to answer. Was death everyone's destiny? Perhaps so.
"I don't believe in fate."
Reina picked up the bow. A haze appeared on her face. She didn't look too good. She seemed to be angry. She did not act like a child now. Instead, she had a dangerous sense of mystery. She was definitely not as innocent as she looked. She hid it very well. Jurgen's heart trembled. He realized that he had been fooled. She could survive on the second level alone. How could she be an ordinary person?
"But I believe in you. Maybe if I pull the bow and shoot an arrow, it will coincidentally kill the big Demon King."
As she said that, she showed that harmless smile again and wiped her nose.
"Uh, that's possible."
Jurgen was stunned. His heart was beating very fast. His hands and feet felt cold. When he recovered and stood up from the ground, he realized that all the hair on his body was standing on end.
…
They did not know where they were. Even if they had a map, they did not know how to get there because this place was blank on the map.
Reina, on the other hand, seemed to be very confident. She swaggered through the fog. According to her, the curse would lead the way for her. She only needed to bravely move forward, and she would be able to reach the deepest part.
With a dubious attitude, Jurgen followed her for a long time. He was worried that they would encounter a Hybrid Demon. What he feared the most was that the Faceless Man of Ruin failed to kill the monster. If they encountered the monster, he would have to sacrifice his life to buy time for Reina to escape.
When Jurgen started to feel the pain in the soles of his feet and was amazed by the amazing endurance of this little girl, all of a sudden, two weird statues more than one meter high appeared in the mist, just like how one would when one met the person one liked at a corner.
They were like monkeys, one on the left, one on the right, one on the left, one on the right, one on the left, one on the right, one on the left, one on the right, one on the left, one on the right, one on the left, one on the right, one on the right, one on the left, one on the right.
Why would there be statues here?
Jurgen's eyes widened as if he had seen a ghost. Could it be that someone had come to such a terrifying place before? Was it the expedition team of the ancestors? But why would these two statues be placed here? Could it be that they were important? Were they used to suppress the evil spirits here?
While Jurgen was still in shock, Reina had already reached out and touched the statue's bald head.
"What an ugly statue."
She even said such shameless words. Yurken was so scared that he almost knelt on the ground and begged for mercy from his ancestors.
But before he could stop her, there was a cracking sound. Lina exerted her strength and broke the statue's head.
"Argh!"
Jurgen screamed. He did not know what to do, but Reina put the statue back to its original position as if nothing had happened. Then, she turned around and walked away.
Just as she took a few steps, the statue's head fell to the ground with a loud thud.
Reina stopped in her tracks. She wanted to run away from the crime scene as fast as she could, but she seemed to have made an incredible discovery.
She turned around and looked at the statue's head on the ground.
Jurgen also became serious. He immediately squatted on the ground and swept the sand and stones on the ground with his hand.
Soon, a slate engraved with ancient totems appeared in the sand. There was no doubt that someone had visited this place! And there were many things left here.
He raised his head and looked at Reina at the same level.
Obviously, an ancient secret was buried here.
The slate was hollow. There might be a secret room under it.
Jurgen continued to clean the ground until he found a gap in the slate. It was between the two statues.
At that moment, Reina let out a scream, which gave Jurgen a fright. She thought of something and stood up. She walked to the statue whose head was broken and gave it a hard push.
From the perspective of strength, it was impossible for her to push it because the statue and the slate were one, and Reina was also standing on the slate.
However, Reina did not give up. She let go of her hand and pushed the other statue. Just as Jurgen was about to persuade her, the statue she was pushing suddenly turned. There was a sound of gears.
Rumble!
The statue looked at the headless statue. Then, the soles of its feet suddenly vibrated. The two of them instantly jumped back and left the slate.
The slate made a loud noise and moved to both sides. The two of them watched as the distance between the two statues slowly increased. Finally, the slate opened up a passage. There was a staircase inside that led to darkness.
