Believe it or not!
The curse issued by the old man in red echoed in everyone's ears.
If this is an illusion, what else is real?
and--
The old man said he was a god, so I'm afraid he wasn't lying.
Regardless of whether the magic power in this area is blocked, even if there is no impact, who can transform into a meteor on the ground, soar into the sky as soon as it flies, until it disappears behind the white clouds?
Such combat skills are unheard of!
Even the strongest person in the fifteenth realm in legend may not have such strength, right?
Furthermore, there are real gods in the upgraded world.
Like a god.
Gods have no religion, which means that no religion is "orthodox" that is recognized by Gods.
In fact?
There are no fewer than ten sects that believe in the gods that have risen to a large scale in the world, and each of them claims that they are the orthodox "Celestial God Sect".
Even if 99% of the believers are excluded, using only the base number of "1%", the number of people who believe in God wholeheartedly easily exceeds 100 million.
Imagine this.
If the gods say to them: "Keep going, I curse you to a bad death!"
What will those believers do?
Of course I dare not move forward!
Right now, this is the situation.
The royal army retreated beyond the reach of the divine power and temporarily regained its strength. Compared with their previous majesty, these one hundred royal troops were like eggplants beaten by frost, with each one wilting one by one.
Even the general, who was always confident, hesitated.
He was wearing a single garment and pacing around his armor. From time to time, he looked at Zuo Chang: "Adventurers, did you meet this old man when you came here before?"
Zuo Chang nodded: "We met."
"Met?"
"if not?"
oh……
The general hesitated again and asked again: "Then - did that old gentleman just now curse you or prohibit you from entering?"
Zuo Chang smiled and said: "Of course there is, but what he said doesn't count. General, you don't have to pay attention to his curses. Only the incompetent curse. If the old gentleman just now was really capable, wouldn't it be nice to just beat us down?" Why bother to curse us in a roundabout way?"
The War Demon sneered: "That's absolutely correct. Cursing is actually the highest level of praise, because only when you completely defeat it and there is nothing he can do to you, will he choose to bark like crazy."
"...Adventurers are adventurers. There is no honor, no responsibility, just a group of lunatics who don't know what to call."
In front of Zuo Chang, the general muttered something.
Zuo Chang was really unconvinced.
He slowly clenched his fists, a mean smile on his lips.
The war demon noticed the change in his mentality and said quickly: "Calm down. Lord Heavenly King, calm down. I don't know what is going on inside the ruins. If the mana is also sealed inside, then we really need the help of these humans in front of us. If nothing else, they are quite strong. strong."
Zuo Chang said angrily: "I didn't provoke him, did I?"
"This is the superficiality and short-sightedness created by the times. Isn't it normal for the generals in the feudal era to look down on adventurers? This is not the age of gods. There are no dungeons with highly concentrated resources. Adventurers are basically the same as beggars, robbers and thieves. Difference, it is natural that we should not be respected.”
The scene fell silent.
The general stood with his arms crossed, completely confused. The soldiers he brought were given instructions to take a break and were sitting in twos and threes, waiting for instructions from their leader.
What's the next step?
As the most elite force of the Golden Empire, it is impossible to say that the Royal Army has no loyalty and no honor.
To obey the king's orders is to be loyal;
Achieving a goal against all odds is honor.
Right now, it was their duty to explore the ruins and take out the treasures and present them to the king.
But……
Is it possible to just ignore God’s warning?
After thinking about it, the general made a decision.
He first arranged for a few people to form a small team and quickly returned to the capital to report the intelligence. Then he asked the remaining soldiers to stay where they were and wait for further instructions.
Finally, he walked up to Zuo Chang and said, "Adventurers, you and I will enter the ruins and explore what's inside."
Zuo Chang asked: "Are you alone?"
"I alone am enough!"
The general kicked his toes, kicked his sword into his hand, and held a sword flower in his hand.
He looked resolute and continued: "From the bottom of my heart, I don't want to enter the ruins. I must obey God's warning, but the king's life is on my side... Even if I have to pay the price for it, I must accept it calmly!"
Oops...
Zuo Chang looked at the general in front of him with his flaxen curly hair combed straight, and said, "You can send one of your men in."
"That's not in line with my morality! Let's go! Anyway, you two adventurers will die, so it's not a pity to die!"
The general led the way towards the ruins.
Zuo Chang and the War Demon have been impatient for a long time. Although there is only one general and the manpower may be stretched thin, it is still better than the two of them going in.
…
…
The two people and the dog walked around the stones blocking the road and passed through an extremely narrow gap.
A sense of coolness hit them, and there was a musty smell in the air. They walked through the half-collapsed gate of the ruins and entered it.
Zuo Chang squinted his eyes and found a thin stream of gold on the ground, guiding the way forward.
Exactly the same as in the game.
The general looked around vigilantly and subconsciously clenched the hilt of his sword. The next moment, he noticed that Zuo Chang had a relaxed look on his face, without the slightest hint of nervousness. He showed full sophistication and calmness, and he immediately compared him to the general.
How does this work?
The general forced himself to relax and asked, "Adventurer, you seem to be very relaxed."
"I've been here once."
"……makes sense."
A place where even an adventurer can easily control it, couldn't he, a general, adapt to it?
Thinking of this, he relaxed: "The 'Immortal Pot' you presented is indeed an amazing treasure... What is in this ruins? Well, I'm not talking about treasure, but... danger, or... enemy."
There was a pause.
The general added: "Of course, I am not afraid of any danger, and I don't think anything can defeat me. I just... you know, I am a general, and I must have a general understanding of the situation in order to make corresponding deployments. If I know Whatever I may face, I think I will perform better."
Oh--
This flaxen-haired general seems to be much more cautious than Zuo Chang imagined!
But Zuo Chang came here for the first time too.
He didn't know what was here, so he could only say based on the "myth" he had heard before: "There is a dragon in here."
"What?"
The general stopped.
He smiled, showing his white teeth: "——Dragon? What dragon?"
"Abyss Demonic Dragon?"
"...Is it the kind of abyss dragon I know?"
Zuo Chang spread his hands: "Hmm?"
The general looked solemn and said immediately: "Everyone is here! Adventurers, we will return to the original route immediately. We must re-strategize!"
You’ve come, but you still want to leave?
Zuo Chang said quickly: "I'm just kidding, General. How could there be an abyss dragon here? If there was, could I have come out alive last time? There is nothing here, only treasures. We can explore boldly with confidence. There’s no chance of an accident!”
