Something's wrong with my undead

Chapter 572: Stay Awake Fist and Refreshing Palm

The Stream of Contemplation lies beneath the sea between four islands.

From a distance, this place looked like a whirlpool, but as the distraught Buzina slowly approached, the illusion of the whirlpool disappeared, revealing a huge hole obscured by diffuse water vapor.

Although the cave is dark and damp, the rock walls are covered with moss and vines. The deeper you go, the drier it gets. It doesn't look like a path leading to the seabed, but rather like an underground cave somewhere on land.

Along the way, Teacher Xia couldn't find a suitable opportunity to jump out of the car and escape.

Considering the dragon's terribly wide perception range, it would be very difficult to move forward on Dragon Island if one did not advance along a specific route. So he did not act rashly, but tried his best to avoid exposing the three of them.

Fortunately, the barrier left by Buzina had not been eliminated. Therefore, when the barrier was filtered before entering the Canyon of Meditation, the three of them "collectively transformed into things" again, relying on skeleton camouflage and metal camouflage to deceive the magic circle and successfully enter this "prison".

Although Longdao claims that it has no prison, in fact this place is a prison.

Teacher Xia jumped out of the floating city and looked at the familiar scenes around him, feeling a little emotional.

“I didn’t expect that the first stop on Dragon Island would be here.”

Da Huang: "No buddy, why did you come into this place?"

Teacher Xia: "This is a safe zone. If you are being chased, just jump into the sea, and then use Shadow Shuttle to squeeze in by sticking to the side of the whirlpool. I thought this was a bug in the game, but now it seems it is not."

"Oh..." Da Huang suddenly realized: "The illusion is a spell model, and the model density is lower than your Shadow Shuttle level, so it was penetrated, right?"

Teacher Xia: "Is that the truth? It has to be you, Da Huang!"

But now Da Huang was even more puzzled: "That's not right. Isn't Dragon Island's initial reputation neutral? What did you do to be chased?"

Teacher Xia: "You didn't know? Oh, I forgot that you were already playing alone against four people to pursue a broader world. Sigh, I was just too green..."

Da Huang: "??? You haven't finished yet, have you?"

Teacher Xia: "My my... Actually, I didn't do anything. I just brought Brother Yang to help me open the map. Even if Dragon Island's reputation is worshipped, there are still many places guarded by guards and you can't enter. But if your reputation is hostile, you can run around. I got him a set of plate armor from Helm's Keep and let him pretend to be a remnant of the Everlasting Dawn. His reputation is naturally hostile, and then he ran around. I followed him around, and when the situation was not right, I killed him and said I was here to arrest someone."

Da Huang: "Then why is it your turn to be chased?"

Teacher Xia: "I killed the same 'Remnant of the Eternal Dawn' three times in a row in front of the same guard. Even if he was dumb, he knew something was wrong."

rhubarb:"……"

I don't know whether his silence was a reflection of how stupid this was, or that he actually missed out on such a stupid thing.

After entering here, Buzina became completely quiet and didn't respond at all.

Olaf didn't really understand what was going on, but since the two skeletons were not in a hurry, he wasn't in a hurry either.

Sure enough, not long after, Teacher Xia found a spot on the surrounding rock wall.

As he scraped away the top layer of moss and dirt with his dagger, a cuneiform-like rune was revealed underneath.

It was clearly from the claws of some giant beast, and was very similar to the runes on the pillars of the Ring of the Covenant.

Teacher Xia: "Feel the faint vibration of this rune and look around. There should be three more like it."

The other two immediately followed suit, and soon used the same method to expose all four runes to the air.

Then, these four runes, which were positioned in no regular pattern, suddenly glowed faintly, then fell off the rock wall one by one and gathered into a ball of light in the air.

Teacher Xia reached out and picked up the ball of light, waving it back and forth a few times like waving a torch, and then he found the pattern of the light changes.

If you walk in a certain direction, the ball of light will become brighter and brighter.

When he reached the brightest part of the light ball, a circle of magic circle appeared on the ground under his feet.

Then the ball of light dissolved, and the light was injected into the magic circle. A sound of rocks rubbing against each other was heard, and suddenly a circular staircase leading downwards appeared under everyone's feet.

Teacher Xia: "It's okay, it's okay. Although we came early, the road is still there."

Da Huang: "How did you find such a complicated puzzle?"

Teacher Xia: "If you were in this place with a wanted buff that requires you to be online to lose time, you would be bored and lick the wall like me. Although I originally wanted to paint on the rock wall, it can be considered a lucky coincidence."

Da Huang: "So where does this road lead to?"

Teacher Xia: "There is a portal below. If you go in, you will be transported to the hideout of the traitors. That is the real safe zone. The patrolling dragons don't go there."

Da Huang: "Why is there such a thing in prison?"

Teacher Xia: "Isn't it normal for prisons to have escape routes?"

While the two were talking, they had already taken Olaf down the stairs. Da Huang turned around and looked at Buqina.

"Are we just going to leave like this?"

Teacher Xia: "What else, stay here for the New Year?"

Da Huang: "Okay then."

Teacher Xia: "Don't worry, there is no place safer than this place."

Da Huang: "Please don't set this flag."

Teacher Xia: "? I'm not Mr. Sa!"

They walked down the stairs, talking and laughing, and stepped into deep darkness.

In the center of the darkness underground, there was indeed a portal standing quietly just as Teacher Xia said.

In the game "AGE", from the time the player is born until the counterattack on the underworld, there is no two-point portal of the type commonly seen in fantasy works that "decomposes here and regenerates somewhere else".

Most portals are either interplanar—like a hole in a piece of paper connecting the front and back sides.

Or it is really a "send" to the door.

Players who step into it will be wrapped in something unknown and then sent to the other side in one breath like cargo on a high-speed conveyor belt.

Judging from its style and gloss, the door in front of us obviously belongs to the latter.

However, just as the two were about to step in, a pair of eyes suddenly lit up in the darkness.

A pair of huge dragon eyes!

"Oh, I'm going!"

Teacher Xia was so frightened that he dived into the water, then jumped back to the stairs at the speed of light.

His movements were so fast that even the Dragon Hunter Olaf, who was one level higher than him, was not as fast as him in his backward jump.

Da Huang: "No, buddy, what is this?"

He wasn't calm, but he didn't react in time, his mouth was a split second faster than his brain.

By the time he reacted and wanted to run, he had already been intimidated by the dragon's might.

If you are in the game, there will now be an additional description in the status bar: "Your body is stiff and you can't move."

"Dwarves and undead? What a strange combination... No, there is no death energy in you... Are you puppets?"

The dragon spoke, and a hot breath with the smell of sulfur hit his face.

Then there was a clattering sound of chains dragging, as if he had moved forward, and a huge dragon head appeared in front of the three people with the light of the portal.

Olaf clenched his spear tightly in his hand:
"Want to come?"

he asked in a low voice.

For some reason, he had an inexplicable sense of familiarity, as if he had seen the other person somewhere, or heard the voice, or smelled the bad breath.

"No."

Teacher Xia jumped out from behind him and walked forward in surprise.

"Ottonohe?"

——Why does even this name sound familiar?

Olaf wondered.

Da Huang was startled: "Who? That red copper dragon? Isn't it a traitor? Why is it imprisoned in the Valley of Meditation?"

Teacher Xia: "How the hell should I know that..."

The copper dragon Ottonohe, one of the traitors wanted by Dragon Island, is a melee muscular dragon who knows little magic and can transform into a gorilla.

His teeth are one of the most suitable materials for the dragon tooth dagger. Plus, since it's also a close combat dagger, he can defeat the dragon by just dodging the entire time, rather than standing on the ground and letting the magic dragon shoot him as a target. Therefore, he became Teacher Xia's favorite.

To be frank, Mr. Xia knows every inch of Ottonoeh's body!

That's why he dared to move forward so confidently.

Not to mention that the other party was suspected to be locked up by chains. Even if he was released, in such a narrow place, how much power could an orangutan who would hit his head if he jumped up could have?
In short, you can play casually in this wave!
At this moment, the Copper Dragon himself was no less surprised than the two of them.

"Who are you and how come you know me? I thought my name had been deleted from the database by Longdao."

...

Teacher Xia: "Da Huang Da Huang, what should I say?"

Da Huang: "No, you haven't dealt with him in the game?"

Teacher Xia: "But we usually don't talk when we interact with each other!"

Da Huang: "...Then ask him why he was locked up here and what this portal is."

Teacher Xia: “Okay!”

He did so with great pleasure.

Hearing this, Ottonoeh looked upward in confusion.

"You obviously came from there, why don't you know this place? As for me, since you know my name, you know my 'crime'. My teeth are stained with the blood of four companions, and I 'deserve it'."

"So this is the real 'prison'?" asked Teacher Xia.

"Maybe. What about you? What crime have you committed? Wait, when did Dragon Island start cooperating with the dwarves... I'm curious, are you really a puppet?"

"We sneaked in here," Olaf replied in a muffled voice. "Dragon Island has never cooperated with the dwarves. You didn't even tell us what a real 'dragon' is. Instead, you described yourselves as savage and primitive beasts, and together with the Veritas people, you sold the myth of getting rich overnight to deceive the ignorant young dwarves! What on earth are you thinking!"

Teacher Xia couldn't help but look back. How could Olaf say such a thing?!
The dragon hunter blushed and whispered, "Ian taught me that. Let me ask him in person when I get a chance."

Teacher Xia gave him a thumbs-down sign.

As expected of you!

Ottonohe was stunned by this statement. How could someone sneak into Dragon Island?
"I don't understand what you are talking about, dwarves, savage beasts, and myths of wealth... I have never heard of these."

He shook his head. "I don't know how you got down here. Anyway, you and your puppet are very interesting, but—"

Before he even started to turn, the underground suddenly became bright!

It was not that someone turned on the light, but the belly of the copper dragon suddenly became as bright as a burning iron, and the light of the molten iron quickly crawled along his copper body towards his neck!
He's going to spray someone!
Seeing that the dragon's breath was about to spew out of the opponent's mouth, Teacher Xia and Olaf counterattacked without any communication!

The former is because they are too familiar with the other person's hand-raising movements.

The latter didn't know why, but it was very familiar. Although the specific memory of the dream in the underground palace disappeared, the experience of fighting with Ottonohe became a hunter's instinct and was preserved.

Olaf is not the type to be scheming in battle, and most of the time he just follows his feelings.

This time he went the right way!
The spear shining with thunder and the dagger shrouded in shadow hit Ottonoeh's neck in no particular order. Although they were not enough to break the dragon's terrible body, the crucial blow at such a critical moment was enough to unbalance the energy in his body!

With a loud bang, it seemed as if something exploded!
A huge hole was blown in Ottonoeh's neck, and hot semi-finished dragon breath and blood flowed out along with his painful roar. The dragon struggled hard for a few times, but was still unable to lift his neck.

He exploded.

"Did I fight with him?" Olaf asked Teacher Xia in a low voice.

"really."

Olaf smiled brightly.

Now he is truly a dragon hunter!

And one hit will kill!

"He's not dead yet." Teacher Xia reminded.

Olaf immediately tightened his grip on his spear: "Do you want to make up for it?"

"It's okay, let's see what he says."

The two of them just stood there, watching the horrific wound on each other's neck scab over at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Rather than a scab, it was more like molten iron or magma cooling down, and then the ugly scar disappeared little by little as if being swallowed by the surface scales.

Dragons are truly amazing creatures.

For most creatures, if their body exploded like this, the body parts above the neck would be separated from the body, but the body of a copper dragon is very strong.

But he won't be able to take a second sip in the short term.

"Is it time to talk about this door?"

Teacher Xia approached him and asked:
"If this is a prison, why is there a portal?"

"It's none of your business..."

Although Ottonoeh tried his best to roar, it sounded weak.

"Where does it lead to?"

"I do not know."

"Who else is in the shelter?"

"Shelter...what? You..."

The dragon's eyes suddenly widened, revealing an incredible light.

Teacher Xia was too lazy to play along with him:
"I know this door leads to your sanctuary, through the underwater caves behind the Misty Reef. If you don't want to die, tell me the truth, why haven't you been sent away yet, why are you still imprisoned here?"

The fear in Ottonoeh's eyes gradually dissipated, replaced by intense curiosity.

This is their biggest trump card, but the other party knows it clearly.

If that's the case, then they couldn't be sent by Dragon Island to test us.

Because it's already like this, why bother testing me?

The traitors are not a rebel group, but rather hidden people who are as afraid of the light as rats. Any law enforcement team can easily defeat them.

"Because the door is not yet finished," he replied.

Not finished yet?
Teacher Xia was stunned:
"Who is doing the construction? It can't be you, right?"

Ottonoeh was obviously angry. He wasn't that angry even when the barrel exploded just now!

"Why can't it be me?"

"Fuck, you can do this?"

Teacher Xia's mood at this moment was no less than seeing Da Huang pointing at an unsurpassed racing record and proudly saying "This is what I set."

This is a copper dragon, a pure muscular dragon, the kind that acts without thinking, yet it can actually do such a delicate job as setting up a portal...

Suddenly, he thought of a possibility.

"How long have you spent on it so far?"

"I do not remember."

Ottonohe looked away.

Teacher Xia flashed before his eyes:

"How long?"

"I really don't remember."

The Red Copper Dragon continued to dodge, and Teacher Xia continued to chase it, always keeping a straight face.

"Will you tell me?"

"…about three to five hundred years."

"Pfft-"

The first one to give in was Olaf.

Ottonohe said angrily: "Dwarf, what are you laughing at!"

"It would be my turn to finish the painting," Olaf said sincerely.

"What do you know! The sophistication of this magic circle is far beyond your imagination, and I am almost..."

"So why are you trapped here? Who put the chains on you?" Teacher Xia interrupted again.

Ottonohe calmed down, thought about it, and told everything.

"I can tell you everything, but you must first tell me why the dragon above was imprisoned in the Valley of Meditation and who you are."

...

Teacher Xia: "How do you say that?"

Da Huang: "Let's chat. I think this is becoming more and more interesting."

...

So Teacher Xia gave a brief introduction of McCalla.

He compared the Veritas to villains and described the Novice Village as a place similar to a "Rebel base camp."

This naturally led to the introduction of the dwarves and the Nice people who were allies, as well as Buzina who was imprisoned for no reason.

Unconsciously, he had already classified Dragon Island into the camp of villains.

After listening to this, Ottonohe's eyes flashed with strong disbelief, and he finally sighed.

"It's too complicated, I can't understand it..."

"Ha, you're not as good as me!" Olaf commented sharply.

The copper dragon ignored the dwarf's ridicule and said, "In fact, this is not a 'real prison', and I am not a prisoner, but I am indeed a traitor wanted by Dragon Island, and this is a node for us to infiltrate Dragon Island.

"The portal in front of you is one-way. Its starting point is located in the shelter under the Misty Reef. I was teleported here to improve the portal here and help other potential allies who were imprisoned in the Canyon of Contemplation escape."

"Are you really out of money?" Teacher Xia asked, "Wouldn't it have been completed three or five hundred years ago if we replaced the magic dragon?"

"But she would be discovered." Ottonohe said, "The more skilled a dragon is at magic, the more dazzling its soul is. Even if it hides in a place like this, even underground, it is as conspicuous as a light in the dark. But I am different. My body is like a thick rock, which can isolate most of the fluctuations of the soul. In an emergency, I can transform into a steel-backed war ape and filter out the perception of dragons in the form of a beast. So for safety reasons, I am the most suitable person."

"Not having brains has become an advantage." Da Huang complained.

Teacher Xia asked again, "What about the chain?"

"It's for deceiving people."

Ottonohe pulled casually and a chain fell off the wall.

Teacher Xia's eyelids twitched (if he had any).

Damn, I almost got tricked by this guy...

Fortunately, the opponent trusted the instinct of dragon breath at the critical moment, which gave him the opportunity to make a precise attack.

"So, weren't you just fooled by me?"

Ottonoë looked at Olaf triumphantly, as if he had turned the tables.

Olaf gave him a disdainful thumbs-up.

But the Copper Dragon didn't know the customs of the dwarves and was still happy there.

Although the conflict was resolved, the doubts were not cleared up, and more problems arose.

What kind of people are the traitors to Dragon Island?

Both players were very curious, so Teacher Xia asked:

"Can you remove the dragon power shock from Alunas?"

"completely fine!"

The Red Copper Dragon said confidently, and as he spoke he transformed into the appearance of a Steelback War Ape. The more than two-meter-tall gorilla brother walked up the stairs using his hands and feet, and the three of them and the monkey quickly returned to the Stream of Meditation.

"Floating city? What a creative idea!" Ottonoeh's eyes lit up.

Then he pounded his chest twice, rushed forward while roaring, and punched the floating city!

Everyone was dumbfounded, and Teacher Xia was not much better.

In order to adapt to the size here, Buzina's appearance has shrunk to about five meters in height. Although it is not huge, it is still a behemoth.

However, at this moment, it was being hit like a sandbag by a gorilla less than three meters tall, shaking back and forth, and the surface metal was falling off with a rustling sound.

But to be honest, the effect is excellent!
Only half a minute later, Buzina woke up.

"Who is hitting me!"

She let out a scream, then suddenly flashed behind the three people and completed the transformation in mid-air.

Unfortunately, Buzina's "big break" version did not reveal any spring scenery, but only had disheveled hair and a bruised face.

"See, I told you it's okay!" Ottonoeh said with a smile.
