Chapter 1620 Tamed

Praying to gods and Buddhas is mostly just psychological comfort and has no practical effect.

Even in the multiverse, prayers to God often go unanswered. After all, God has too many believers and it is impossible for Him to pay attention to any one believer all the time.

But on the other hand, when a God pays attention to you and you ask Him for help, most of the time you will get a response.

Almost as soon as Orday put down the holy emblem, a golden light appeared in the air and pointed towards the door like a finger.

Just like popping a bubble, the door suddenly lit up with brilliant magical light, and then the light exploded.

Without the protection of magic, this oversized door is decaying at a speed visible to the naked eye. It looked as if it had just been carved a moment ago, but now it looks weathered.

Zora then cast the Dragon Power spell on himself. Just looking at the name of this spell, you can tell that it is a super-strong increase in strength. After all, the dragon is the embodiment of strength, and anything named after a dragon cannot be weak.

Along with the subtle sound of stones rubbing against each other, the heavy door was pushed open little by little. Fortunately, the door axis had mechanical assistance, otherwise Zora would not be able to push it. In that case, he would have to ask Li Chengxi for help again.

Just push the door open to create a gap that is big enough for someone to enter sideways. Nemia went in first, followed closely by the other two.

A huge underground cavity about thirty meters high and more than five hundred meters wide appeared in front of the three people. They could not see what was in the distance through the dark vision, and could only roughly judge that it was an elliptical space.

Alde squatted down, put one hand on the ground, and gently shook the staff with the other hand.

A wave that was almost imperceptible to the naked eye spread out and extended to the end.

"No monsters have been found yet."

"The Lord also said that he didn't see any monsters."

"But it's strange. This place doesn't look like it was repaired by the elven wizard. Instead, it looks more like it was dug out by some monster."

The three of them were now like standing on the edge of a big pit. If it was a natural cave, there would definitely be stalactites and the like. Besides, the road was so difficult to walk on, and the wizard who built the underground palace would definitely make improvements.

But now there is no trace of artificiality, which is fucked up.

If things are not normal, there must be something wrong. Orde cast a defensive spell on herself and everyone slowly went down the slope.

The slope is not too steep, and you can even see some slopes that are convenient for moving up and down. It feels like this room is like an open-pit coal mine that is dug downwards in circles.

But the further they went down, the stranger it felt. The prophecy spell on Orday sent out a faint alarm, making Orday feel as if something was nearby spying on them, but Li Chengxi saw nothing.

God's vision is not completely reliable. As mentioned before, God's observation will be blocked by gold, lead plates and heavy rocks. If they rely entirely on Li Chengxi, they will suffer a great loss.

Not long after, the three of them arrived at the bottom of the pit. If they looked up, they could see a deep passage right in front of them. There were still some traces of artificial repairs near the entrance.

It feels like this place was originally repaired by someone, but a monster came and dug out the artificially repaired part, so it became what it is now.

As the three of them moved closer in that direction, this feeling became stronger and stronger.

Nemia, who was in front, suddenly stopped while walking and fell to the ground without any warning.

She pressed her ear to the gravel ground and listened carefully.

After a moment, Nemea jumped up again and shouted:
"Scatter! There's something down there!"

The three of them jumped in different directions, and almost at the same time, the ground seemed to explode, and countless stones flew everywhere.

Aurdai raised her hand and used the defensive spell she had prepared in advance to block the stone. Then, with the help of dark vision, the three of them saw a strange creature that did not seem to be from the mortal world crawling out from the ground. It had three legs and three arms, growing on a broad, stone-like body.

She is not tall, just over one meter, not even as tall as the shortest one, Audrey.

But this thing made a low roar like the friction of stones, and when it turned the part that looked like a head, it could be seen that it had three eyes and a mouth big enough to swallow a living person in one gulp.

Nemia had obviously never seen such a valuable item. She was so frightened that her first reaction was to throw the sneezing powder in her hand at it.

"Don't do it!"

Orday quickly stopped Nimya. Zora had already raised the holy emblem at this time. If Orday had not stopped her, she would have fired a scorching light at her.

The monster was just roaring and swaying its body left and right at the three people.

As Alday spoke, he turned visibly toward her.

But Alday did not cast an attacking spell, but pinched her throat and uttered a few strange syllables.

After hearing that, the monster gradually quieted down and made a similar sound.

The two sides seemed to be having a simple conversation. After a moment, Oldey explained:
"This is a Xol, a monster that can communicate. Try not to fight it."

The Xor is a very disgusting monster that can move freely in the rocks as if swimming. Mages created the Xor Stonewalking spell based on it.

Although it is not very strong, this thing knows that if it cannot win, it will run away. By then, it will burrow into the ground and you will have no way to deal with it. Moreover, you will have to worry about being attacked by it for a long time afterwards.

So it’s more reliable to talk first than to fight.

After giving a casual explanation, Alde began to communicate with the Xor again.

This monster can speak the native language. It is not a product of the mortal world, but comes from the earth elemental plane and is a kind of alien creature.

After chatting for a while, Oldie reached out and opened his pocket trick, took out a bag of gold coins and threw it to the Thor.

The latter actually looked like a dog catching a Frisbee. It caught the bag quite happily and took a bite out of it, scattering the gold coins all over the floor.

Xorn is a monster that feeds on precious metals such as gold and silver, as well as gems. Rich mineral veins can usually be found in areas where Xorn is active.

The easiest way to negotiate with them is to throw a bag of gold coins over to them. The Xor will immediately lose its hostility and may even help you with something.

This Thor stone monster seemed to have been hungry for a long time. It almost swallowed all the gold coins into its mouth, and then lay on the ground to pick up the missed parts.

After it finished eating, Aldea continued to talk to it in a pinched voice, and then said:
"This Xol has lived here for about 30 years. It said it smelled food down there, but there was something scary down there and it didn't dare get close."

As if to support Alde's words, the Xor raised three arms and pointed at the entrance of the passage.

"Didn't it say what it was?"

"Don't expect the Xol's brain to remember the Monster Manual."

As he spoke, Olde talked to the Xor again. After the latter ate the gold coins, he dived into the ground, revealing his bulging back like a shark, and waved to the three people.

"It said it would help lead the way and asked us to follow."

Why does it feel like being tamed?
