This assassin is upright

Chapter 65: The minions of the evil dragon, die!
I jumped down from the pit, but the expected sharp fall did not occur.

The light in the pit gathered into a pillar of light filled with a holy atmosphere. Yu Zhun and Ji Xiaoyu, who were in the pillar of light, seemed to be lifted up by an invisible force, falling downwards at a constant speed.

After an unknown amount of time, the narrow pit suddenly became clear, revealing a huge underground space that made Yu Zhun and Ji Xiaoyu stare with their eyes wide open.

They saw the dragon.

In other words, it is the skeleton of a dragon that is nearly 100 meters in size.

Only the white bones of a dragon were left lying in a pit underground. Countless white spots of light were surging around the dragon's corpse.

The two people who were suspended in the air and slowly falling from the hole at the top of the space were watching this scene from a bird's eye view and were extremely shocked.

"This is... the God of Light?" Ji Xiaoyu murmured softly, "Is the God... actually a dragon?"

Yu Zhun did not speak. His eyes searched the dragon skeleton carefully and soon saw a gem located between the dragon skeleton's eyebrows.

The gem that was shining with brilliant golden light continuously spewed out light spots. If one looked closely, one could find that all the light spots in the entire space were produced by this palm-sized gem.

With such a miraculous scene, it is not difficult to guess that this gem is the relic that the old man just mentioned.

Yu Zhun slowly landed on the ground, then leaped up onto the head of the dragon skeleton nimbly, took off the gem and returned to Ji Xiaoyu's side.

"President, according to that old man, the [Dungeon Palace] is right above our heads." Ji Xiaoyu raised his head and looked above his head.

I don’t know if it was a coincidence, but the long tail of the dragon skeleton lying on the ground curled up, forming a staircase to the top.

"Are we the first to discover this road?"

According to the strategy provided by the Hanlong Guild, the dungeon [Under the Dragon Burial City] has three plots, namely [City of Ruins], [Corridor of Life and Death] and [Dungeon Palace].

The dragon slaves who would lose blood and die without taking any action in [City of Ruins] will not lose blood in a dark environment, but will have the ability to automatically recover blood, which will become particularly troublesome in the last two plots.

The dungeon boss in the third plot [Dungeon Palace] is much more powerful than the boss in the normal Lv20 dungeon.

But now, Yu Zhun and Ji Xiaoyu have embarked on a completely different path.

Instead of passing through the dangerous [Corridor of Life and Death], they were only one step away from the [Dungeon Palace] in another lossless way.

"Not necessarily." Commander Yu put the relic gem into his backpack and shook his head. "Hanlong Guild's progress in the dungeon [Under the Burial Dragon City] is not very high. There are many guilds with higher progress than them."

"In theory, other attack teams may also be able to see clues from the inscriptions or dig deep into the [Ruins City] and eventually find the basement where the surviving residents live."

"In this way, they may also come into contact with the old man and take the same second path as us."

"Are you overestimating them?" Ji Xiaoyu looked surprised. "If that's the case, why is the clearance rate of the "Dragon Burial City" dungeon so low? No guild can pass it consistently?"

In her opinion, there was no doubt that the two of them were on the right path to clear the level. If other teams were taking the same route as them, how could they not be able to clear the level?

Is it a question of strength?
After hearing Ji Xiaoyu's words, Yu Zhun was silent for a moment, and then slowly spoke, "Because..."

"There's something wrong with what the old man said just now."

"Huh?" Ji Xiaoyu widened her eyes.

"Think carefully about the stone tablet we saw." Yu Zhun said slowly, "It was actually carved from a broken wall and connected to the foundation."

"That's right." Ji Xiaoyu nodded, "Any questions?"

"It's a big problem." Yu Zhun lowered his voice a little. "Since it is a stone tablet carved from a broken wall, it is impossible that the words were carved somewhere else and then moved to the location of the stone tablet." "Now think about it again. According to the description of the inscription, the inscription should have been carved before the construction of the underground city, or after the construction of the underground city?"

"Of course after it is established..." Ji Xiaoyu spoke subconsciously, and then suddenly widened his eyes with a look of astonishment.

According to the old man, after the dungeon was built, the city lord Zanhar could no longer return to the ground.

The only way he could carve the inscription was to move the stone tablet to the surface and place it next to the tunnel after carving it in the underground city.

However, the conditions of the stone tablet are not met.

Therefore, the person who engraved the inscription could not have been Zanhar, let alone a dragon slave who had lost his mind.

A chill ran up Ji Xiaoyu's back, causing her to shudder. "So which one is right, the inscription or the old man's words?"

"Who carved the inscription?"

Yu Zhun remained silent, just looking at the huge dragon skeleton beside him.

As the relics disappeared, the holy light and countless white spots in the space were rapidly dimming.

Without the contrast of those light spots, the dragon skeleton also lost that soul-stirring sense of sacredness.

"The old man's words made me believe that the God of Light is the evil dragon described in the inscription."

"But what if it's not?"

"No..." Ji Xiaoyu was stunned, "So what you mean is that the inscription records the truth?"

"No." Yu Zhun shook his head. "I don't completely believe the inscription, nor do I completely believe the old man's words."

"The real truth lies in two versions of the story."

"So, now it's time for us to meet the other protagonist of this story." Yu Zhun raised his head and looked up into the sky along the long tail of the dragon skeleton.

"Maybe he can give us the answer."

City Lord Zanhar?
When Ji Xiaoyu came to her senses, Yu Zhun had already climbed up the stairs along the huge joints of the long tail.

"Wait for me!"

With a loud shout, Ji Xiaoyu trotted to catch up. After climbing for a while, they arrived at the end of the dragon skeleton's long tail. Standing here, they could easily reach the top of this space by just stretching out their hands.

A glowing teleportation array quietly appeared above the two people's heads, erupting with a powerful suction force. Yu Zhun and Ji Xiaoyu did not resist and let the suction drag them away.

After a dizzying spin, the two found themselves in a dark and depressing palace.

Yu Zhun turned and looked towards the center of the hall, and then his pupils shrank slightly.

A huge monster, as big as a snake or a dragon, with a twisted body and covered with scales, was sleeping in the center of the hall.

It opened its mouth and spit out hot gas, slowly lowered its ferocious head, opened its scarlet eyes and looked at him and Ji Xiaoyu.

"The minions of the evil dragon dared to break into the dungeon and cause trouble."

"Deserves to be killed!!!"
