The Shota Priest of the Big Sister Adventure Group

However, there was no enemy around the corner, only a lifelike puppet.

Its wooden surface glows with a mysterious light, as if it has some special power.

Sodros walked forward cautiously and observed the puppet carefully, only to find that the puppet was really tight. The eyes on its face and the slightly weird smile made him feel uncomfortable, and he felt that something was wrong with this thing.

"Could this puppet be related to the monsters here? Or is it a way for the monsters to monitor them?" Audrey put forward her own guess.

At this time, Rosaline, who was good at reconnaissance, had been using her abilities to explore the surroundings. She knew more information, so Hanyu expressed his opinions and feelings.

"I didn't notice any direct signs of being monitored," she looked around, a little alert, "It was unusually quiet all around, there was almost no movement, no abnormal energy fluctuations, and no signs of life activities. This silence was disturbing."

Having said that, Rosalind frowned slightly, looking at a wall not far in front of her, as if trying hard to penetrate the invisible barrier and touch the deeper unknown.

"But what's strange is," Rosalin said seriously, looking at the wall, with a hint of doubt in her tone, "there seems to be something strange behind the wall in front, but I can't detect it."

After that, she looked at a few people and asked, "That's all the information I have at the moment. As for what to do, I'll listen to you."

Sodros nodded, his eyes fixed on the puppet in front of him.

For some reason, the more he looked at the puppet, the more he felt something was wrong. It seemed that this guy was not dead, but a living monster!

But if it was a monster, there's no way it could have escaped Rosaline's detection!

He exerted a little force with the tightly gripped axe, and then Sodros chopped it heavily on the puppet!

"Kacha, s~~"

The puppet broke into pieces and fell to the ground, making a creepy sound. Sodros knew that he had guessed correctly. This thing must be related to the monsters here. If he didn't get rid of it, there would definitely be trouble later.

After the puppet broke, something fell to the ground, a key?

Chapter 239: The Suppressed Statue

This key has a warm color and a light golden luster, which makes it look more ancient.

It is not big, but it is heavy. Holding it in your hand, you can feel a weight that does not belong to this size. The surface of the key is not smooth and seamless, but is finely carved with the lines of the city - those lines are simple and profound, like an ancient map formed by the brightest stars in the night sky, guiding the secret path to a forgotten corner.

Upon closer inspection, each mark seems so precise and full of vitality, as if the craftsman had poured countless efforts and emotions into carving it one by one. Although this key looks ordinary and may not attract much attention in the market, once you stop your eyes, you will find its extraordinaryness.

Its refinement does not lie in complicated decoration.

The handle of the key is a little unclear, perhaps because it is slightly worn due to its age.

Sodros fiddled with it for a bit, then put it into his space ring for future use.

You know, everything in the dungeon has its reason for existing.

Now a key appears, which means there is a place here that needs a key to open!

Maybe it's a treasure trove hidden deep inside.

After finishing, Sodros looked at Rosaline who had just discovered something unusual and asked, "Rosaline, where is the abnormality you just discovered? Since you can't detect it, there might be a surprise over there. We have to go and take a look."

Since they had come to take the risk, Sodros felt there was no reason not to go and take a look. The key point was that his strength gave him confidence! There shouldn't be anything that could stop them.

"Well, I only know the approximate range, but as long as we follow this location, we should be able to find it." Rosalyn nodded and repeated.

"Then let's go over there and take a look. Do you have any other ideas?" Sodros asked his teammates.

After everyone else expressed their agreement, Sodros marked the route on the map to avoid forgetting the route and having to repeat the exploration next time.

And when they walked towards that mysterious place, they finally encountered the first group of enemies, powerful enemies!

The first people we encountered were armored soldiers. They were like well-trained iron guards, wearing heavy and majestic armor. Each piece of armor glowed with a cold light, which could basically block most physical attacks.

This armor is not only heavy, but also reveals an inviolable solemnity, like a moving mountain, and every step is accompanied by a dull echo from the ground.

At the same time, there is no flesh and blood inside the armor, as if it is driven by some unknown force, becoming the defender of the royal city, or it may be a former royal city knight who still performs his duties after death. Facing such an enemy, ordinary swords and knives can hardly hurt it, and only with the help of powerful magic can it penetrate its solid defense and kill the opponent.

The second type of monsters encountered were skeletons in robes, with strange shapes, exposed bones, and no heads. Instead, they had a "Spirit Fire Skull" suspended in the air, emitting a faint green light. This light was both a symbol of their life and the source of their powerful magic.

The robe swayed gently in the wind. Although it had no breath of life, it exuded a majesty that should not be underestimated.

The Skeleton Mages' attacks are swift and deadly. They can manipulate the elemental forces around them, whether it is blazing fire or icy ice, and turn them into devastating magic attacks.

Although its defense is weak, its ability to control magic is enough to make opponents who underestimate it pay the price!

When we first encountered the armored soldiers, everyone wanted to rush forward and solve the problem violently.

But after Audrey and Sodross chopped a few times with their knives and axes, they realized something was wrong.

Because the attacks of the two men fell on it, it was like hitting a stone and did not cause much damage to the armored soldier.

After Margaret, who specialized in magic, took action, there was a very significant effect. Sodros also used light-attribute attacks and it took some time to defeat the opponent.

The skeleton mage is more troublesome. He uses long-range attacks and can only be killed by Margaret or Rosalind by hiding here and there.

But after finding the opponent's weakness, it became easier to fight, and since it has extremely weak light properties, Sodros's spear of light can basically kill instantly!

But the problem was that it was too far away, and Sodros couldn't lock on to it, so he could only throw the light spear based on his feeling.

Although the accuracy is still not good enough, I believe it will improve after a few more times.

But unfortunately, these monsters did not drop any items, which is quite a pity.

Sodros found the armored soldier's equipment very cool. If he could get a set, he would definitely be the focus of everyone.

We continued to move forward, passing through a bunch of forks and twists and turns, and finally arrived at the place that could not be explored.

"Yes, it's here. If there is no problem, this room is the place that cannot be explored." Rosalin said, pointing to this place very clearly.

"Well, get ready and go in and take a look." Sodros looked serious and prepared.

Then, Audrey took the lead with her shield raised, and slowly pushed the dusty door.

But for some reason, the door couldn't be opened.

"I can't open it. I don't know if it's blocked from inside." Audrey said.

"Can't open?" Sodros went over and pushed it, but it didn't move at all.

So he looked around and saw an inconspicuous keyhole next to the gate. If nothing unexpected happened, it must be the one that Sodros and the others had just picked up.

After the key was inserted, the door was indeed unlocked, but the location of the keyhole was too remote, on the lower right corner of the door frame.

Who designed this? Come out and get beaten!

Without saying too much, after opening the door and entering, a wave of spiritual energy suddenly spread out, making several people feel uncomfortable.

The main thing is that this room feels a bit depressing and doesn't have the same sense of openness as before.

In the dark hall, countless sculptures are arranged in an orderly manner.

These sculptures have different shapes and postures, some majestic and some graceful, but there is one thing that makes people feel chilled: their faces are all hollowed out, leaving behind dark abysses, as if they are the remnants of some forbidden ritual.

There was no light entering the room, making it even more eerie.

The black hole on the statue's head was not empty, but rather faintly visible with dense and complex shadows. Sometimes they looked like sharp fangs, flashing ominously in the dim light, and sometimes they looked like twisted fleshy tentacles, slowly wriggling.

The air was filled with a stale smell that made people involuntarily slow down their breathing.

"What are these? They are too weird and spooky!" Audrey looked away, not daring to look at the weird head any longer, and then complained.

The other two women were the same, not daring to look any further, especially Rosalind, whose face turned a little pale. Ordinary people really couldn't stand this kind of mental oppression.

Sodros raised the giant axe in his hand, and suddenly a ball of light hung above his head, dispelling the darkness and bringing light.

"Don't be afraid. If you feel pressured, just wait outside. If there is no problem, just investigate. This place is definitely not simple!" After saying this, Sodros took the lead and walked in, starting to explore this not very big house.

Others did not choose to leave either. Although they were afraid, they could still overcome it.

After walking around the house a few times, it seemed that I really didn't find any problems. There was no information at all and I had no idea what this room was used for.

Sodros didn't believe that there was such a strange place with nothing in it, so he walked back and forth several times and rechecked the places he had not seen.

Walking under a statue, Sodros discovered a strange symbol. It was more like words than symbols. They were words from the demon world!

So, this ghost thing is related to the demon world?

Looking closely at the symbol, it says [I need light, but I don’t see hope]

If the first one had words written on it, then the second one must have words as well, so I checked them one by one.

The second one says [Light is important, but I don’t need it]

The fourth one reads [How long has it been? When was the last time you drank water?]

The last one says [All of them are mine! ]

Chapter 240: Reward eyeballs?

[I need light, but there is no hope][Light is important, but I don't need it][How long has it been? When was the last time you drank water?][All of it is mine! ]

After receiving these four pieces of information, Sodro (Líng Yier 6) (Qilings) immediately called together all his teammates, told them the meaning of the words, and began to discuss the answer.

In the dimly lit room, the only source of light was the ball of light that Sodros had just released.

The light illuminated Sodros's face. He had just written down the question with the pen and paper he carried with him. He also wrote down a few demonic characters engraved on it so that he could explain them to his teammates later.

"Come here, everyone. I think I found the problem." Sodros' voice echoed and spread in the house. Four teammates responded and stood beside him, their eyes flashing with curiosity and expectation.

"I got four puzzles, and they may be the key to solving our current predicament." Sodross handed the paper to everyone, and his fingertips gently ran over the distorted words. "The first one is, [I need light, but I don't see hope]. In my opinion, this statue needs the light to activate."

Then he continued, "The second one is, [Light is important, but I don't need it]. This sentence seems contradictory, but it may actually mean that it needs the illumination of light, but it is not the main thing. Maybe it means that a little light is enough?"

"And the third puzzle, [How long has it been? When was the last time you drank water?] is like a reminder for us to drink water, but does it mean that it also needs to drink water, or something like that?"

"And the last one, [All mine!] is the most direct, but also the most complicated. It is very vague. It does not contain the content required for the puzzle. It only has five words, and it is impossible to understand what it means."

The four teammates fell into deep thought after hearing this. The air was filled with tension and excitement. They were happy to have found the puzzle, but were troubled by not knowing how to solve it.

So, the four of them sat closer together and began to analyze each puzzle one by one, discussing the directions they might point to.

Margaret and Audrey were not very impressed by the fact that Sodros knew some of the demonic language, because he had been to the demonic world, and Sodros was indeed very smart, so it seemed reasonable for him to know some words? It could also be that they believed in Sodros unconditionally.

The fox Rosalin, on the other hand, was a little confused. She didn't understand why Sodros knew the language of the demon world.

You know, there are not many demonic languages known in the world, and there are still a large number that have not been deciphered. Some places even offer high prices to hire deciphering experts, and there will be huge rewards for deciphering the meaning of the text!

The adventure was suddenly suspended some time ago. Rosalin was curious, but no one said anything and seemed to be in a low mood. Finally, Sodros disappeared, and she suspected that it might be related to Sodros.

But there was no point for her to think so much, because she couldn't guess the answer, so she simply gave up guessing and just watched and guessed the puzzle with the others.

No one spoke immediately, thinking about the possibilities in their hearts, but after thinking about it, it seemed that Sodros's statement was more appropriate and closer to the answer.

"Sodros, I think your idea is very good, but how to solve it?" Audrey raised an objection. "If you want a light source, you have already released the light source, but it has no effect. Is there something wrong?"

Audrey looked up at the sculptures in front of her that were more than 2 meters high, but she couldn't see the whole picture.

"You are right. There must be some mechanism in this statue, right? Maybe the light must be placed in these mechanisms to have an effect?" Sodros also looked at the tall statue and expressed his opinion.

"Sister Audrey, could you please lift me up so I can see what's inside."

"Okay." Audrey didn't say anything more. She just squatted on the ground. After Sodros came up, she held Sodros steadily and began to observe the situation inside.

With Audrey's help, Sodros approached the sculpture and felt an inexplicable chill in his heart.

With the help of the not very bright light, he slowly approached the empty black hole, peeking as if from the abyss. At first glance, there was nothing inside but a depressing darkness, so dark that it made people's heart palpitate.

Looking deeper into the darkness, one can find that there are densely packed tiny sharp teeth inside, which are irregularly interlaced. Each one is extremely sharp, reflecting the faint light and flashing a cold luster. These sharp teeth are so dense that it makes people's scalps numb. Even someone as knowledgeable as Sodros can't help but feel his heart tighten, as if even the air has become sticky and difficult to breathe.

What's even more disgusting is that there is a sticky liquid flowing between those sharp teeth. It is a kind of faint, transparent, strange-colored mucus that slowly wriggles, and occasionally a slight "click" sound can be heard, which is the sound of mucus dripping or touching other objects.

Deep in this disgusting scene, several slender tentacles of flesh and blood can be seen. They twist slowly and irregularly, as if they are exploring something with life. The surface of those tentacles is covered with a moist film, revealing a faint blood color. Every wriggling pulls on Sodros's nerves, causing him to lean back involuntarily, trying to escape from this horrific scene.

If Audrey hadn't been holding him firmly, he would have fallen.

"What's wrong with Sodros? Should we put you down?" Audrey, who noticed that something was wrong with Sodros, asked with concern, intending to put him down to avoid any accidents.

Sodros shook his head and refused, "It's okay, it's just the first time I've seen it, and the shock is a bit too great. I just need to get used to it." As he said that, he took a deep breath and forced down the nausea and fear in his heart. Then he clenched his teeth and continued to endure the strong discomfort that surged from the bottom of his heart, and observed the inside of this disgusting yet tempting head more carefully, little by little.

After a careful observation, Sodros' face turned pale, but he also discovered something. Inside this dark head, there was a not very large round cylinder with a disk-like thing on the top. He thought this might be the place where light was received?

So, he used his ability to manipulate the light, turning it into a ray, and then slowly aimed it at that place and continued to emit it.

And the moment the light shone on it, changes occurred inside this dark head.

The densely packed teeth began to shrink, but still left disgusting and dense tooth marks.

An Xie's flesh and blood tentacles also retracted, and after 30 seconds, a pair of eyeballs fell from an unknown place above.

It is called an eyeball, but in fact it just looks like an eyeball, so we just call it that.

Then, he suppressed his nausea and took the eyeballs out of the mucus-filled hole. He then hurriedly asked Audrey to put him down and wash his hands with water...
