Chapter 406 The Secret They Don’t Know
Yu Xia stuck his head to look down the cave entrance. The space below was pitch black and bottomless. Even the light from the floodlight could not illuminate any object.

All she saw was a vertical ladder close to the wall, extending into the darkness. It was steep, empty and unknown, which made people feel scared.

She thought the safe spot was probably just an environment the size of a basement, but she didn't expect the area here to be no smaller than Flock's underground kingdom.

Yu Xia stared at Alex's back for a moment, then lay on his back when he turned around to look at her.

"Hold her tight." Alex stood up with her on his back and lifted her up. "It's very high down there, there's no protection."

After hearing this, Yu Xia put her arm around his neck and said, "Don't worry, I won't let go."

Alex paused and said, "I won't let you fall."

"Xia Xia, don't be afraid. If you fall, I will be the first to catch you." Oger picked up the backpack on the ground and threw it on his back. He walked to the entrance of the cave and went down first.

He was carrying a spotlight, and Yu Xia looked down. The dark space was illuminated a lot by the spotlight, but apart from the three of them and the long bottomless ladder under their feet, almost nothing else could be seen. The light from the spotlight seemed to be swallowed up by the darkness.

Yu Xia looked around and said in amazement, "This place is so big."

Her voice echoed in the empty space. Alex carried her on his back and climbed down slowly. "It's about 300 meters high. This used to be an underground mine. It was abandoned after most of the minerals were mined. The rat at the back remodeled it and turned it into its underground residence."

Yu Xia suddenly realized that it was a mine. She said that this place was much bigger than the underground kingdom in Floch.

The place where Flock lives now is full of crisscrossing pipes. Although it is not crowded, all the usable area is utilized, and it does not appear empty like here.

She asked, "Is there a connection between here and Flock's side?"

When Alex heard Flock's name, it took her two seconds to realize that she was talking about the Rat King who had kidnapped her.

"No." Alex said, "But this is what Renault told us. He also said that this leads to the interior of the contaminated area."

Yu Xia heard that Alex didn't seem to believe Renault's words, "Don't you believe him?"

Alex: "Be skeptical. We can only trust him temporarily. We will take you to settle here for a while, but for the rest, we will verify it after the others come back."

Oger looked up and said, "Xia Xia, we know you trust him very much, and we believe in your trust in him, but he has been manipulated before, and we must be vigilant."

Yu Xia: “I understand. He does…” There are secrets that no one knows.

Although the two personalities in Renault's body are both him, their thoughts and behaviors are different.

The Sentinels only knew that he had two spirits, but they didn't know that he had two personalities.

In fact, Yu Xia was also wary of Renault's other White Dragon personality, because that personality was somewhat uncontrollable, even when facing her.

"Really what?" Alex saw that Yu Xia was hesitant to speak, and guessed that she must have hidden something about Renault, and said, "I know you like him very much, and you want to protect him more than anyone else. You are now able to control many sentinels, but no matter how accurate your calculations are or how powerful your abilities are, there will always be times when you fail."

Alex analyzed the situation objectively with her: "We are now close to the contaminated area. None of us have been to this contaminated area before. We are not sure whether Renault has been here before. We don't trust him very much right now, so we must be fully prepared."

"Don't underestimate us because we have dragons. There are many unknown and terrifying things in the contaminated area. We can't guarantee that we can deal with those things, but we must ensure that our team is safe." Alex was placed in a border sentry tower since he was a child. Before returning to his main home, he had never been known as the "Second Young Master of the Snake Family" for a single day. Like those low-level sentinels and mercenaries, he risked his life every day.

He went in and out of the contaminated area countless times, facing not only the life and death challenges from the contaminated area, but also the open and covert fighting between the sentinels, and the occasional harm from the host family.

Alex has been in this high-pressure environment for many years. He is always used to staying highly vigilant and can keenly perceive approaching dangers and things that are wrong with people around him.

Yu Xia leaned her head on his shoulder, looked at his delicate profile for a while, and then said, "I haven't had time to ask you in detail, how did Renault get to the Snake family's sentry tower?"

Alex thought for a moment and told her about Renault's origins. "About five years ago, he appeared in the contaminated area of ​​the border sentry tower where I was. At that time, he killed more than a dozen sentries by himself, and only had one breath left."

Yu Xia: "You rescued him?"

Alex: "It wasn't me. It was Yana who couldn't stand it anymore. She gave him a shot of healing potion and dragged him back with Alan."

Yu Xia: "It turned out that Yana saved him."

Alex tilted his head to look at her and said, "Even if Yana doesn't save him, he won't die."

"You said he only had one breath left. If we didn't save him, he might not survive."

"He has a strong self-healing ability. As long as he is not dead, he can recover no matter how serious the injury is."

Yu Xia: "So, you took him back to the Snake family?"

Alex: "I asked Yana to drop him off at the border sentry tower and left him alone. Later, he decided to come to the Snake Family on his own. He was only a B-rank sentry at the time, but most of the dozen or so sentries he killed were higher level than him. I saw that he had potential, so I agreed to let him join the Snake Family."

After that, Alex added: "We provide him with the best resources and he does things for us. It's fair."

He was actually too lazy to explain anything, but he felt uncomfortable thinking about Yu Xia always protecting Renault.

"He is different from normal sentinels." Alex said, "Although he rarely communicates with us, I know he is very dangerous."

"He's a stable lunatic."

Alex summed up the oxymoron.

At this time, Og also interrupted, "I think I have seen him before, it was a long time ago, I don't remember it very well."

When Yu Xia heard what he said, she looked down at him and thought to herself, you have not only met Renault, you have also met me.

At this time, Oger was very close to the ground. His flashlight could already illuminate the ground. He jumped down from a height of five or six meters and looked up at Yu Xia: "Strange, I just had some memories recently. I don't know if it's an illusion caused by the contaminated area."

Oger suddenly had an idea and said, "Xia Xia, why don't you help me look through my memory later? You can just look through my memory and see if I really know him."

Yu Xia was about to say something when Alex said, "Don't interrupt us. We still have something serious to discuss."

He carried Yu Xia on his back until he reached the last step of the ladder before landing. After putting Yu Xia down from his back, he said to her face to face: "Now, I have told you what I know. Do you also want to tell us what secrets you helped Renault hide?"
