"die……"

Koizumi Hongzi stared blankly, unable to believe her ears.

Hasaji's Indian had a groaning smile on his face, "I remember that there were three people, an old man, a woman, and the woman's servant."

"The old man was the first to die. He didn't pass the review of the council. The aborigines in this land can't provide us with much useful knowledge, but it's best to use it as a slave."

"The woman wanted to go to Enkai. Her servant fled towards the exit alone in order to lure us away, but was caught by us when he was about to escape to the ground. He was chopped off hands and feet, and imposed the most severe punishment. "

"As for that woman, although she entered Enkai, she never came out again..."

Hasaji's words revealed the fate of Koizumi Hongko's mother, servants and old Gray Eagle 15 years ago.

This reminded Qin Zhibo that on the mound, the corpse without hands and feet that Minase Yangmeng saw through the underground tunnel might be the servant of Koizumi Hongko's mother.

There is Koizumi Hongzi's mother, she really entered Enkai.

"Okay, having said so much, you should also know that no one can get out alive after entering Kunyang, right?"

"Don't worry, as long as you go back with us with peace of mind and teach us the method of summoning the unspeakable, we will not treat you badly."

The surrounding Kunyang people all returned to normal, pulled out the long swords around their waists, and approached Qin Zhibo and Koizumi Hongzi.

But at this moment, countless light green slender shadows walked out of the stone wall of the canyon, and surrounded the sentry team of the Kunyang people.

Qin Zhibo took a closer look and found that these slender shadows turned out to be snake people.

The shadows of a group of snake men surrounded these Kunyang people, and Hasaji and his sentry team immediately became confused, waving their long swords indiscriminately towards the surroundings.

But these swords don't seem to be able to cause any damage to the snake-man shadow, and all attacks pass through the green shadow.

Before Qin Zhibo and Koizumi Hongzi understood what happened, a shadow of a snake man stood in front of them.

"We are the snake people cursed by Yige. You already know our history in the temple, right?"

Qin Zhibo and Koizumi Hongzi remembered what they saw in the Nameless City, and nodded in unison.

The snake-man shadow continued: "We are viciously and eternally cursed for deserting Yig."

"Although our bodies have degenerated and died, our souls are forever imprisoned, unable to leave this desolate place."

"So we would like to invite you to enter Enkai, tell the toad god Satogua about our tragic experience, and ask him to lend a hand to save his miserable and devout believers."

The snake man's flattened facial features, which seemed to grow on the wings of the cobra's neck, did not open his mouth, but Qin Zhibo and Koizumi Hongzi already understood what he was saying.

"Get in! We can't hold them off for too long!"

"Go in! Enkai's entrance is over there!"

The snake man raised his finger to the darkness deep in the canyon, where the metal coin was pointing.

Qin Zhibo glanced at the shadow of the snake man and the Kunyang people who were still entangled with each other, and immediately understood that the snake man had no fighting power at all, and was just constantly scaring and disturbing the sight of the Kunyang people.

"let's go!"

Qin Zhibo made up his mind and dragged away Koizumi Hongzi who still wanted to settle accounts with the Kunyang people.

The two got into the darkness and disappeared from the sight of the snake man and the Kunyang man.

……

After running for a while, Koizumi Hongzi broke free from Qin Zhibo and asked, "Why did you let them go?"

"That's the best chance to kill them!"

After what Hasaji said just now, Koizumi Hongzi's hatred for the Kunyang people has become overwhelming.

She wanted to kill the Kunyang people to avenge her mother and the unknown servants of the Red Magic Clan.

But Qin Zhibo was more rational than her at this time, knowing that it was pointless to do so.

"Even if we kill them now, it will only attract more Kunyang people."

"But if they choose to escape at this time, they will think that we have no other means, so they will relax their vigilance."

During his contact with Hasaji, Qin Zhibo could feel his arrogance as a Kunyang native, and his disregard for everything about the people on the ground.

And this kind of arrogance will make him disdain to ask for help, and insist on eliminating the threat of outsiders with the power of their sentinel.

In other words, when he came out of Enkai, there was still only one sentry guarding outside the canyon.

As long as they can get rid of Hasaji and his sentries, and then find the entrance to Sin's Tomb in Snakeman City, they can return safely.

"no!"

"I'm going back to find them! I'm going to avenge my mother!"

Saying that, Koizumi Hongzi was about to turn around and go back desperately.

Snapped!
At this time, a crisp applause echoed in the silent space, Koizumi Hongzi's face immediately turned red.

This is a palm from Qin Zhibo, used to help her regain her sanity.

"So what if you fight them all now? Will your mother be happy about it?"

"Don't forget, what is the purpose of your trip?"

"It is to fulfill the long-cherished wish of the Red Magic Clan and obtain the legendary ultimate magic!"

Koizumi Hongzi looked up at Qin Zhibo, a trace of red appeared on the white of his eyes.

But she finally controlled her tear ducts and didn't shed a single tear.

The witch's principle is that as long as she sheds tears, she will lose her magic power, no matter who she sheds them for.

"Calm down?"

Qin Zhibo turned around to the darkness in front of him, "Then let's hurry up, we still have a long way to go..."

……

The two continued to move forward and finally reached the foot of the cliff at the top of the mountain.

There is no flat road ahead, only a cave that slopes down, which seems to be a road leading to the ground again.

Qin Zhibo and Koizumi Hongzi entered successively by the light of the searchlight, and the slope here was steeper than the previous section.

And below the kilometer-long slope is a dark underground hall.

There is no difference between day and night here, and the glow emanating from the rock dome illuminates this place just right, just like the moonlight from the outside world.

On the edge of the underground hall, there are still several unmarked passages, or branch roads, spreading deep into the depths.

Just when Qin Zhibo was confused about how to go next, a figure walked over from an inconspicuous position.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time..."

It was Mr. clock who came.

Qin Zhibo and Koizumi Hongzi have gone through ups and downs along the way. Whether it is their mental outlook or their clothes, they can be described as dusty.

On the other hand, Mr. Clock is the same as what he saw on the ground, except for the fact that his face is naturally expressionless, he is still in good spirits.

Qin Zhibo asked, "Did you come down directly?"

Mr. Clock replied blankly: "Yes, the seismic mining machine can transfer the target to the ground or underground several miles away."

Qin Zhibo looked around, but did not see the seismic mining machine.

"You are underground now, can you also control the machine on the ground?"

Mr. Clock shook his head, "I can't."

"Then how do you go back?"

"How did you come here, how do I go back."

"Going back from Kunyang?"

"Yes, go back from Kunyang."

Qin Zhibo was taken aback for a moment, wondering if Mr. Clock knew that there were degenerate and xenophobic Kunyang people living in Kunyang.

Or is there any way Mr. clock can deal with the Kunyang people?
"All right……"

Mr. Clock turned to several passages on the edge of the underground hall, "We should move on, Enkai is waiting for us ahead."

Mr. Clock led Qin Zhibo and Koizumi Hongzi into a passage in the middle, but in Qin Zhibo's eyes, this passage was no different from other passages.

"Why did you choose this path?" Qin Zhibo asked.

Mr. Clock, who was walking in front, stopped and turned back, and explained in a stiff tone: "Because the other roads are not leading to Enkai, but to other places..."

"Here is the way to the god of spiders—Atrak Nakya."

"Here lies the way to Abhoth, the source of the unclean."

"There is a road leading to the Womi people's lair..."

"Whichever road you choose, they do not lead to Enkai."

"Because this is the only way to Enkai."

"Om..."

After Weng Ming's voice fell, Mr. Clock walked forward on his own, and walked into the dark tunnel.

Qin Zhibo and Koizumi Hongzi looked at each other, and felt that Mr. Clock should not be cheating in the general direction.

But Mr. clock also knows more about the underground than he imagined, and he knows everything about the underground.

In this case, he should also know the existence of the Kunyang people.

"Mr. clock, do you know people from Kunyang?"

"Kunyang people?" Mr. clock paused, "Yes, I know those Kunyang people. They are a group of fanatical believers and have a long history."

Qin Zhibo continued: "We met Kunyang people on the way here. They are very dangerous. Do you have any way to deal with them?"

Hongzi Koizumi, who was walking beside her, also lifted her spirits and listened carefully to the answer to this question.

But Mr. clock was silent for a long time, and did not answer this question directly.

"Kunyang people are crazy. Crazy has been written into their genes since 6500 million years ago."

"This madness will eventually destroy themselves, and the only thing that can completely destroy them is their hearts..."

Mr. Clock's words seemed to explain a method, but the riddle-like narration prevented the other two from understanding what he was talking about.

Qin Zhibo could feel that Mr. Clock had a way to defeat the Kunyang people, but he just didn't want to tell them.

This made Qin Zhibo a little bit difficult. If Mr. Clock had a way to deal with the Kunyang people, he had to know this way if he wanted to leave here.

But the alliance between Mr. Clock and himself has been secretly broken, and both sides will try to kill each other during Enkai's trip.

... It seems that we can only take one step at a time.

……

In the dark passage, Qin Zhibo and Koizumi Hongzi, led by Mr. clock, walked all the way, and finally came to a circular abyss.

The diameter of this abyss is about ten meters, and there are raised irregular stone steps on the vertically downward stone wall for walking.

And below the abyss is a darkness that even the most powerful searchlights can't penetrate.

"Come with me, next is Enkai."

Mr. clock walked up the steps first, walking towards the road leading to the abyss.

Qin Zhibo and Koizumi Hongzi confirmed the reliability of the stone steps, and followed them up one by one.

In order to prevent Mr. Clock from setting a trap on a certain stone step in advance, Qin Zhibo secretly held [Flying Claw] in one hand, ready to fall at any time.

But what was surprising was that all the stone steps were intact, and the three of them walked about [-] steps to the bottom of the abyss.

At the very bottom of the abyss, there was only one passage ahead. The evil aura emanating from the passage made Koizumi Hongzi, who had a strong sixth sense, stop in his tracks.

As a witch who often accepts the hidden existence, she has never felt such a powerful evil aura.

Whether it is the legendary demon "Lucifer" or a ghoul, the evil aura emanating from them is less than one ten-thousandth of the passage ahead.

There is something extremely terrifying hidden there, which is a taboo that humans cannot touch.

"Then... what is that?"

Qin Zhibo, who was walking in front, turned his head, looked at Koizumi Hongzi who was muttering behind him, walked back and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

"There's something in front of it... a terrible smell..."

Qin Zhibo sniffed his nose, except for a faint stench in the air, there was no other smell.

Of course, the presence of such a smell in such a deep cave is not normal enough in itself.

At this time, Mr. Clock, who was walking in the front, turned his head and asked behind with a blank expression.

"You two, can you still go?"

"This is the last section of the road, as long as you walk in, you will be in Enkai."

"Don't you want to experience the ultimate 'reality'?"

Of course Qin Zhibo had to go in, but Koizumi Hongzi was already trembling and holding her arms.

"How about you stay here?"

Asked by Qin Zhibo, Koizumi Hongzi seemed to regain her senses and came out of her sixth sense of foreboding.

"No, I'm going to keep going!"

"This is the last chance to turn back, are you sure?"

"yes, I'm sure."

Seeing Koizumi Hongzi's firm eyes, Qin Zhibo couldn't say anything more, and went back to Mr. clock waiting with her.

Mr. clock glanced at Hongzi Koizumi, with some disdain in his tone.

"It seems that not all humans can reach here, there is a reason."

"Then let's move on..."

Mr. clock, Qin Zhibo, and Koizumi Hongzi walked to the deepest part of the cave in order.

During this period, Qin Zhibo had to look back many times to see if Koizumi Hongzi had fallen behind.

But until the deepest part of the cave, Koizumi Hongzi did not show any flinching.

At the end of the cave, the field of vision suddenly opened up.

This is a huge cave like a temple.

The bones of countless unknown creatures were piled up on the floor of the cave. The bones were covered with indigestible fur, and it was they that gave off bursts of stench.

And beside the pile of bones, there are two stone troughs flowing with some kind of living things.

The stone trough leads directly to the deepest darkness of the Forbidden Temple—a place completely cut off from the human world.
