Chapter 64 The Truth and the Second Path

After walking about ten meters along the entrance, everything in front of me suddenly became clear.

It was a basement, with many people sitting or lying on the ground. Most of them were as skinny as the little girl.

After seeing Yu Zhun and Ji Xiaoyu clearly, everyone's eyes showed vigilance and caution.

"They are here to help us!" the little girl said hurriedly, holding the cake in one hand and waving the other hand vigorously.

This action and the fragrance of the cake successfully diverted many people's attention to the cake.

For a moment, the sound of swallowing saliva could be heard one after another, and many people showed eager looks.

They haven't had any proper food for a long time.

"Don't worry, we have everything." Seeing this scene, Ji Xiaoyu already knew what he should do and took out various foods from his backpack.

Soon, the food piled up into a small mountain in front of her.

Yu Zhun: “…”

Is this what you mean by putting "some" in the backpack?
But it is so appropriate to take it out at this time.

Yu Zhun clearly felt that the hostility around him was much less.

Just when the residents of the basement were about to lose their patience, a dull sound came from deep within the basement.

"Tuk-"

"Tuk-"

"Tuk-"

As the voice sounded, the residents who had been agitated a second ago made way for him, revealing an old man walking with a cane.

The old man walked forward step by step, came to the food, was silent for a moment, slowly squatted down, stretched out a finger, dipped some and put it into his mouth.

After a moment, he nodded.

Residents from all around immediately came forward and lined up to receive food.

Anyone who tried to cut in line would be immediately beaten with the old man's cane.

After everyone had received their share of the delicious food, the old man looked at the two of them with complicated eyes and spoke slowly.

"Praise the God of Light."

"You two, come with me."

After saying that, the old man turned and walked deeper into the basement.

Yu Zhun and Ji Xiaoyu hurried to catch up, and soon the three of them stopped at an underground sacrificial temple.

In this temple, Yu Zhun and the other man saw the complete statue of the God of Light. It was a handsome and tall man with a solemn and sacred expression, and he had a pair of featherless flesh wings.

There is a hole in front of the statue, and light keeps coming out of the hole. Although the light is faint, it gives people a feeling of tranquility and peace.

"Old man, where is this?" Yu Zhun asked softly.

"This is the last place blessed by the God of Light." The old man spoke softly, with an unspeakable sense of loss in his voice. "Dragon Burial City is a cursed city, and we are the only ones left standing."

Yu Zhun's eyes were filled with thought.

He always felt that there seemed to be something he had not considered, but it seemed as if there was a layer of fog between them and he could not see clearly.

"Grandpa, why is this the last place of protection of the God of Light?" Ji Xiaoyu didn't think too much about it. She was just a little curious about the old man's wording. "Don't other cities have protection from the God of Light?"

"The God of Light..." The old man's voice was very soft, "He's dead."

Boom! ! !

It was like a thunderbolt exploding in Yu Zhun's mind, instantly clearing away the fog. At the moment when the old man said "the God of Light is dead", everything recorded in the inscription was connected together by Yu Zhun. Dragon slaves were wandering in the ruined city, while the residents were hiding...

The dragon slave who is cursed and afraid of light...

The destroyed statue of the God of Light...

"Evil dragon..." Yu Zhun's voice was a little difficult, "The so-called 'evil dragon' is the God of Light?"

“…Ah???” Ji Xiaoyu on the side was confused.

Is…is that so?
She felt that she could not keep up with Yu Zhun's thinking again.

When the old man heard the word "evil dragon", he suddenly clenched his fists, and then loosened them weakly.

"It seems you have seen the stone tablet carved by Zanhar."

"That is his disguise to cover up the truth. It is a slander and blasphemy against the God of Light."

The old man looked at the statue of the God of Light and said, "Zanhar coveted the power of the God of Light and disguised himself as a devout believer. He created a lot of chaos in Dragon Burial City and claimed that the chaos was caused by the God of Light."

"The power of the God of Light comes from faith. If the faith in the God of Light is questioned, the power of the God of Light will also be tainted. Zamhar killed the God of Light with such despicable means."

"Then..." Extreme anger emerged in the old man's eyes, "In order to obtain the power of the God of Light, he devoured the flesh and blood of the God of Light and distributed the flesh and blood to everyone in Dragon Burial City."

"That is the source of the curse. They have betrayed the God of Light, and the light will betray them."

"However, this bastard still hasn't learned his lesson. Zamhar longs for the last relic left by the God of Light, thinking that once he obtains it, he will be free from the curse and become the new God of Light."

"This despicable coward has been cursed to such an extent that he will be attacked by the power of light even in the moonlight. He dares not crawl out of the dungeon at night, so he can only ask the dragon slave to find the whereabouts of the relic."

"Preventing him from getting the relic is the meaning of our existence."

The old man slowly turned around and looked at Yu Zhun. "Strangers from afar, I don't know you at all, but you are my only hope right now. Please take the relics and stay away from here, the farther the better."

Yu Zhun: “…”

He really couldn't fulfill the old man's request.

The copy has a range, so it is impossible for him, who claims to be from another city, to step out of the range of Dragon Burial City.

I have to change my thinking.

"Well... old man." Yu Zhun coughed lightly, "I think your idea is good, but it's a bit far-fetched."

"Why don't we just take out Zamhar?"

"Kill...Zanhar?" The old man showed a look of astonishment. "That would be the best, but can you do it?"

"He devoured the flesh and blood of the God of Light, turning him into a terrifying monster that is neither human nor dragon. His strength is far beyond the imagination of ordinary people."

"It's OK, trust me." Yu Zhun smiled confidently, "If it doesn't work, I can still run away with the relics, right?"

"This..." The old man hesitated for a moment, his eyes turned firm, "If that's the case, then I'll leave everything to you."

He moved slightly to make room for the hole in the center of the temple.

"Please come in."

Yu Zhun blinked, "What is this?"

"This is the passage to the Dragon's Tomb." The old man showed a look of reverence. "Below is the place where the God of Light rests forever."

"Back then, Zamhar built the underground city on the corpse of the God of Light, attempting to gain supremacy over the God of Light in this way."

"But he would never have imagined that beneath the [Dungeon Palace], there was a relic that even if he sent out countless dragon slaves, he would not be able to find it."
