Volume Dragon: Start by obtaining the Infinity Gems

Chapter 257 Shadow Mystic Book

"Hey, what are you looking at? Don't waste our time!" Seeing that the employer who insisted on coming over was standing in front of a picture in a daze, Cade couldn't help but urge him impatiently.

Nemesis looked back at him with an indifferent look. Cade felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, his whole body stiffened, and he felt a pressure as deep as the sea falling on his shoulders, making him want to kneel down.

The pressure disappeared in an instant, as if it had never happened. Hammeril and Ebis, who were standing nearby, felt a little strange when they saw that Cade stood still with pale faces after he finished speaking.

"What's wrong with you?" Hammerl asked with concern.

Cade looked at the two of them suddenly and found that they looked normal, as if nothing had happened. He pursed his lips and forced a smile, "Nothing, nothing."

At this moment, he was full of doubts. What on earth was going on? He was actually frightened by a mortal without any talent. Was it the sequelae of being frightened by the dragon just now?

Moreover, he didn't know if it was an illusion. He felt that just a moment ago, he seemed to see the other person's gem-like purple pupils turn into vertical pupils for a moment.
Nemesis smiled and explained, "Sorry, I just want to see if there are any clues related to my brother. Please wait for a minute."

After saying that, he walked over to the altar and started searching.

Seeing that the other party looked normal, Kaide could only attribute everything to his own illusion. He couldn't help but feel angry.

It’s all because of this ungrateful guy. He almost made me look bad!
He glared at the other person fiercely, then stomped his feet in annoyance.

Nemesis searched for about a minute and found a black book in a grid on the altar.

He flipped through it for a few times and found that it was filled with various spells written in the ancient Shadow Underworld language, as well as various complex rune pictures.

Nemesis laughed and put the book into the space bag.

It seems that this trip was not in vain.

Although Nemesis did not read the book carefully, based on his current attainments in the arcane, he thought it should be a spell notebook.

However, unlike the arcane spells written in Dragon Language and Elvish, the spells in the book are written in the ancient language of the Shadowfell Underworld.

He guessed in his heart that the content of this book was probably the secret art of shadow.

He did not think this was a coincidence. After all, this cemetery was full of shadow energy. It was obvious that the owner of the cemetery was a shadow secret agent who studied this field during his lifetime. It was expected to find a spell book about the shadow secret art in such a place.

"Okay, let's go." Nemesis walked up to the three people and said with a smile.

Seeing this, Hammerler said, "Before you go in, I need to explain it to you in advance."

He looked at Nemesis with a serious expression: "Behind this door, there is a bridge full of traps. You must walk at specific steps. Once the trap is triggered, you will be swallowed by the Shadow Prison."

"Last time, we also stopped here. Even my teammates were left here." When he said this, Hammerl's expression looked a little gloomy.

"I don't know what will happen next. For your safety, I suggest you stay here and wait for us to come back."

Nemesis smiled and shook his head, saying, "No need, I'll go with you."

Seeing his firm attitude, Chuilil didn't know what to say. He just wanted to take care of him if he encountered danger. If he couldn't save him, he could only blame him for not listening to his advice.

Several people walked into the black fog in the archway, and the next moment, they arrived at a dark space with no visible boundaries.

Under their feet was a three-meter-long and wide bluestone platform, and in front of them was a long and narrow stone bridge suspended in the dark sky.

The stone slab seemed to be unaffected by gravity, floating in the air, connected to the far distance. The end of the stone slab could be vaguely seen, which was a place like a pavilion. "Three steps jump one square, six steps jump two squares, nine steps back one square, and then start over. Remember to follow this order." Hammerl warned.

Nemesis listened to Hammerir's words and glanced at Cade with a strange expression on his face.

Doesn't this wizard know how to fly?

Cade seemed to see what Nemesis was thinking. His face turned red with anger and he asked, "What are you thinking about? Are you trying to say that I can't even fly?"

"Do you think the trap here is that simple? I tried it when we first came here, but the mechanism was triggered immediately. That's how Moreno was imprisoned!"

Nemesis understood that cheating didn't work.

At this time, Ebisi said anxiously: "Chiller, what do you think we should do next? Where is the shadow prison where Moreno is imprisoned? Will it be..."

She leaned over to look at the endless abyss under the stone slab, and a trace of fear flashed in her eyes.

Hammeril sighed and said, "I don't know either. We have to take it one step at a time. The shadow prison that imprisoned Moreno flew into the sky. Let's cross the bridge and take a look."

Several people then stepped onto the stone bridge. The seemingly fragile and rootless stone slabs were actually extremely solid. They strictly followed the rules that Hammerir had said and did not encounter any danger.

Halfway through her walk, Erbis suddenly stopped, causing Cade behind her to almost bump into her.

"Why don't you leave!" Cade shook his body, stabilized his balance, and shouted at Ebis in fear.

Erbis gestured for him to be quiet and whispered, "Didn't you hear something nearby?"

Hammeril in front of him stopped immediately after hearing this. Ebis listened alertly for a while, then drew out his dagger and said, "It came from below!"

The sound was not obvious at first, but it grew louder and louder until even Cade could hear it. It was like the sound of a large number of birds flapping their wings, very noisy.

The three of them quickly raised their weapons to prepare for defense, and Cade began to cast spells continuously to cast protective spells for everyone.

"Damn it, what the hell is this? This isn't a good place to fight."

Ebis gritted her teeth. They were in the middle of a stone bridge with no doors on either side. They couldn't walk freely and had to follow a specific pace. Once a fight broke out, everyone would become sitting ducks.

"Rustle, rustle"

The sound became louder and louder, and a large group of black shadows suddenly appeared from the left and right sides of the crowd and flew high into the sky.

"My God, what is this?!" Cade screamed.

I saw a large number of bat-shaped monsters gathering in the air like black clouds. The bodies of those monsters were like condensed shadows, shrouded in thick black fog, and their eyes emitted scarlet light.

Countless red lights in the black clouds stared at them coldly, making people feel creepy.

Cade was nervous at first, but after a while, he saw that the monsters didn't move, so he swallowed and said, "They don't seem to be planning to attack? Let's hurry."

Before he could finish his words, the black clouds in the sky dispersed with a "boom" and rushed towards everyone like a swirling tornado!
