Chapter 266 Portal

The beasts and monsters in the forest are actually very sensitive. They can feel that Aoerdai is not easy to mess with. As long as they don't touch the bottom line, they generally won't come to cause trouble.

But the long-term tension is still tiring, and the physical consumption of walking through the forest should not be underestimated.

As the person with the most adventure experience, the dwarf Drerg saw that the others were already a little exhausted, and even Aoerdai herself was using physical recovery potions.

He was about to suggest taking a break, but saw Aoerdai made a stop gesture.

Then she raised her staff inlaid with a huge blue gem, and a layer of magical aura that was as lively as breathing continued to shrink.

"What is the professor doing?"

"Probably confirming the location."

"Shh, don't talk."

The whispering of the three people did not affect Aoerdai. After a few seconds, she put down the staff:

"We are almost there."

This is good news. The three people have long been tired of the unchanging trees around them. I don't know why, Aoerdai suddenly rubbed her ears, as if someone had just shouted loudly in her ears.

Aoerde had been to this forest for field research, so she could use mass teleportation to bring people here, but she didn't go too deep at that time.

She waved her staff, and a ball of light floated in front of her, as if leading the way.

Everyone followed the ball of light and walked for about ten minutes. They heard the sound of water splashing, and continued to walk forward. A small waterfall about ten meters high appeared in front of them.

A group of glowing fireflies dispersed after sensing everyone approaching, and Aoerde pointed to the waterfall.

"The place we are looking for is behind the waterfall. Bring the necessities."

The three of them immediately untied their backpacks, threw down all the heavy baggage and hid it, carrying only the necessary supplies.

After a little preparation, they followed the wet rock wall on one side of the waterfall and rubbed behind the waterfall little by little.

Under the water curtain, you can see a dark cave entrance. When the cold light of magic shines on it, a few frogs croak and run away.

The cave is not very deep. It is about seven or eight meters ahead to the end.

There were several large holes on the left and right sides leading to the surface. The moon, which had already reached the west, cast its cold moonlight into the cave.

"There is no treasure in here."

"Mud, rotten leaves and animal remains, only these."

The halfling priest Perrin and the tiefling wanderer Nimya were disappointed.

"Don't worry, look at Professor Orday, she has not given up."

Following the finger of Drager, which was as thick as a small carrot, Orday stood in the center of the cave. She looked at the position of the moon from time to time, and knocked the ground with her staff from time to time.

"Found it, here."

Orday waved her staff, and a whirlwind suddenly appeared, sweeping away the dead branches and debris on the ground.

At this time, with the help of the moonlight, everyone could see clearly that there was a very regular round stone slab on the ground, so regular that it didn't look like a natural product at all.

Several blurred lines were looming on the stone slab, and it was difficult to see them even if you were lying on the stone slab.

"Stand beside me, we are going in."

Nemia had just stood still, and when she heard this, she wondered:

"Go in? Where?"

At this time, Ordai knocked the stone slab with her staff, and the three were surprised to find that a layer of fine blue spiritual light was moving quickly along the blurred lines on the stone slab, as if it was repainted and outlined, and in a blink of an eye it covered the entire stone slab.

Then several people felt a flash in front of their eyes, and they couldn't help but close their eyes.

A slight dizziness appeared in everyone's head. This feeling was not unfamiliar. It was a side effect of teleportation.

About two or three seconds later, everyone who closed their eyes suddenly felt their skin tighten, and a strange whirring sound of strong wind blew in their ears, and the shrill cold wind cut through their skin like a knife.

At this time, when they opened their eyes, they saw an almost endless snowfield.

"What is this place?"

The snowfield shrouded in darkness was quiet and terrifying, but it gave people an extremely unreal feeling. Most of the sky was covered by dark clouds, but the floating aurora could be seen supporting everyone's upper and lower eyelids.

"Don't let your eyes deceive you. We are underground. We are in an area that is not recorded on the map."

Aurda rubbed her ears again, and her ice-blue pupils looked around:

"Next we are going to enter the ruins that have existed since the mythological era. I know nothing about the dangers ahead, but I know that we should move towards the aurora."

Tiflin Nemia shrank her neck and suddenly felt that she should not accept this commission...

–-——---——

"Really... Oh my god, I can't listen to advice!"

Aurda's actions were all shown on the screen. Li Chengxi asked Aurda to go back, but the girl acted as if she didn't hear anything and said she had to come in and see it.

Although the Demon King's Ring is very important to the Demon King God, it is very dangerous to run over rashly.

The last time Aurda came, Li Chengxi said not to look for the Demon King's Ring before ensuring safety, at least until Viola restored the country and had more sufficient human and financial resources and other support.

According to the legend, the Demon King's Ring was stolen by the seven apostles of the Demon King at that time and sealed separately.

Also, Aldea noticed that there was a mysterious organization or individual behind the Demon Kingdom, who might be the descendants of the seven apostles.

In order to prevent the Demon King from regaining his power, they will definitely set up strict defenses at the place where the Demon King's Ring is kept.

Now that the enemy is in the dark and we are in the light, it is unwise to rush over.

As a result, Auldai actually ran over quietly, and Li Chengxi felt his blood pressure soar.

I kind of understand why Viola often says that Auldai's research desire is too strong. She knows that there are clues to the Demon King's Ring but doesn't look for it. Auldai's heart is like being scratched by a cat, and she can't hold it back at all.

"What happened?"

Aidas couldn't see the situation on the screen. She only saw Li Chengxi pick up the microphone and say a few words excitedly.

"In short, there is a believer who is disobedient."

"There is nothing we can do about it. Even if we are gods, we can't control the free will of mortals."

This is different from playing a simulation business game, where you can let the NPC do whatever you want. Everyone has different ideas.

"You should guide the behavior of believers, not control them."

"I just feel my blood pressure rising..."

I really want to pull Auldai out and pinch her face hard.

"It's useless to be angry. For example, I often tell believers that life is precious and peace is the most important, but other gods' believers say that my believers are a bunch of cowards. I'm also very angry."

In addition to the priesthood of the spring, Aidas is also the goddess of peace.

So her believers, except for the druids, are a bunch of pacifists.

"There will always be a time when you can't escape, right? Like the time with the Plague Goddess."

Aidas scratched her head embarrassedly:

"In fact, if you hadn't helped me in the Spring Forest, I was going to help the believers find a place to settle down."

"Have you ever considered getting back at me?"

"I'm also the goddess of peace. I'm willing to use all means to protect my believers, but..."

"Don't dare to confront the Plague Goddess head-on?"

"Uh... almost."

Aidas was timid at a speed visible to the naked eye.
