To be fair, Vivian was very happy to "help" Lily in this situation. This was a rare opportunity to kick the other party openly. Anyway, the idiot werewolf took the initiative to ask for it, and the vampire girl was of course not ambiguous. She knew that her strength was not as good as that of the werewolf, so she ran for more than 30 meters. The kick was so powerful that it could be said that the leg broke the air, and the sound was like a torn silk. Kevin felt panic watching from the side.
After Lily finally got up, the two of them started to fight.
"The pit is so deep and like a vertical shaft. How can you jump in a parabola!" Lily's focus was obviously a bit wrong.
"When you jump to the hole, can't you just use the force to push on the side? Even if you can't react, you can adjust the angle slightly when you jump, right! You act like an idiot all day long. I feel ashamed to live under the same roof with you!" Vivian's focus was not right at all.
"Can you two be quiet for a while?!" Finally, Kevin showed his authority as a landlord (actually, he didn't have much authority, but he pointed at the two supergirls and made them have good tempers), and finally let the two girls focus on the business with a loud shout, "The matter here is not yet resolved - what about the pile of tin cans below? What about the malfunctioning seals and runes in the underground palace? More importantly: what about this stone?" Kevin pointed at the Demon Stone that Lily had thrown aside. This one-meter-long black crystal was still the same as when it just "woke up", slowly flashing red light in the night. Kevin relied on his strong nerves and backing to carefully knock on the thing a few times, and found that it was not as cold as ordinary rocks. It had temperature and was always trembling slightly. When he put his ear close to it, he could even hear a series of hoarse whispers coming from the crystal. This demon stone was like a restless tuning fork, giving people the feeling that it was constantly releasing some information - but no one knew how to stop it.
Kevin thought he should make a quick decision and run away, which was in line with his usual "safety first" philosophy of life, but when he said this idea, Vivian told him that demons were creatures that were extremely good at spreading their power through media. When the demon stone began to pulsate, all those who were exposed to the red light had been "marked" by it. The owner of the demon stone had the ability to track all those who approached the stone. Running away was useless - it might make the demon interested in hunting.
"When you are targeted by a demon, you only have two choices," Vivian reminded Kevin (and Lily, who was also half-baked) so seriously, "either hope that the demon is not interested in you, or confront him head-on. There is no third way. Those guys will spread their power everywhere, and few people can escape under the demon's nose."
No matter what the demon seen in the vision looks like, the "genuine demon" that Vivian knows is indeed like this.
So Kevin can only stay by the stone and see what Vivian, an old...professional who has dealt with demons before, can do to cut off the connection between the stone and the demon.
"If the opponent is a low-level demon, my blood can cover the breath of the stone, and after the breath of the stone is blocked, the dead guards in the underground palace should also calm down, at least it will become easy to deal with," Vivian has circled the demon stone several times and is now hesitant, "but if it is a high-level demon, not only will this not block the signal, but it will let the owner of the stone know that there is "fun" here-those fighting maniacs love to fight with people, but there are very few creatures that can beat them. High-level vampires are just their provocation targets: they are evenly matched and can fight for a long time." Lily limped around in circles beside her: "You can just indirectly say that you are also very powerful." "Now is not the time to joke," Vivian glared at Lily, "What do you know as a little girl who hasn't even grown all her hair? It is definitely not a good thing to get entangled with demons. They are stubborn and will chase their targets until they die. I hate fighting-I don't know why, anyway, I just hate fighting and killing. No one wants to have anything to do with those crazy people." Kevin looked at Lily and said, "Why are you walking like this?"
Lily showed her tail pitifully. One third of the hair on it had fallen off, and the whole shape was a little crooked. "It was hit by a rock just now. It looks like it will hurt for several days."
Kevin looked up at the sky: being hit by a granite ceiling weighing dozens of tons, it only caused some hair to fall off and some skin to be broken. What's there to be dissatisfied about?
"Never mind, let's give it a try," Vivian seemed to have finally made up her mind. She looked up at the sky, "The moon is about to set, I have to take advantage of it to get this stone. If time passes, even the slowest demon will react. Big Dog, you stay by the side. I feel that many undead are approaching the surface. They may be heading for the stone. You help block them."
Lily smiled confidently: "Okay! Just block them, right?"
Vivian nodded and stopped talking. She just stood quietly a few meters away from the Demon Stone, with her hands slightly open, and a wisp of blood-red mist began to spread around her.
Almost at the same time, Lily heard the familiar clattering sound approaching here.
The undead guards were still underground, but they were about to reach the surface.
This underground palace originally had a very strict sealing system, and key places such as the Demon Chamber and the Knight's Tomb were actually hidden. The innkeeper Angus had not discovered these amazing secrets buried deep underground in the early years. He just walked through a few shallow tunnels and did not actually destroy or touch the layout of the underground palace. However, hundreds of years have passed, and time itself is enough to destroy the seal of this underground palace. Everything just happened to reach the critical point in the past few days.
A large number of Leta runes have failed, the confinement of the Demon Chamber has weakened, and a large number of spiritual enthusiasts have gathered around the castle. Their random detection has become the last straw that broke the camel's back: the Demon Stone has moved slightly, activating the defense mechanism of the underground palace, awakening the sleeping guards, and triggering everything today.
As for the scene where the demon stone fell to the ground and glowed red, it was just a development from slight activity to full awakening. In fact, the thing had begun to be restless long before Kevin and others entered the underground palace, otherwise how could Angus be blocked by the rune wall that suddenly appeared?
Originally, there were mechanical devices in the underground palace to deal with this situation: when the demon chamber was triggered and the undead guards could not control the situation, all the entrances and exits of the entire underground palace would be blocked by huge enchanted rocks, which not only suppressed the demons, but also prevented those hollow armors that were essentially vengeful spirits from running out to hurt others. But unfortunately, these settings have been disintegrated by time. Now the passages leading to the ground in the entire underground palace are all wide open, and those undead knights are coming to the ground in an organized manner.
clatter, clatter...
The familiar sound of armor colliding suddenly became clear. Under the moonlight, the first armor suddenly appeared on a collapsed stone pillar not far away!
Lily was already prepared. This brute girl held a huge granite block half a meter wide and more than a meter long in both hands, her face full of excitement. When she saw the first armor popping out, she threw a stone at it: "I don't know why the bricks here are so big... but my Pegasus Meteor Bricks are compatible with all rectangular ammunition!" The granite block weighing tons burst into the air with a sound of breaking through the air, and then it smashed into the first armor that popped out with a bang, and suddenly there was only a plain in that place - no matter how strong the armor's resurrection ability was, it was impossible for it to stand up this time. No longer concerned about the environment of the underground palace, and with an inexhaustible supply of "ammunition" at hand, Brick Superman Lily felt that she was invincible. She was convinced that she would use the huge bricks that could be found everywhere in the castle to smash every tin can that appeared in front of her. Thinking of this, Lily felt a little excited, so she took advantage of the moon before it completely sank and quickly opened her throat to the moon and howled: This is her signature, and she must howl when she feels that she is invincible.
And just when Lily's howl scared Kevin, something even more frightening happened:
Not far away, Vivian's ongoing ritual suddenly went out of control, and the Demon Stone suddenly burst into an unprecedented red light. A terrifying voice rumbled from the top of the three people's heads:
"##￥%￥#￥@￥%#@?"
Oh, demon language, I didn't understand.
Kevin knew at that time that Vivian's bad luck that she had never been able to get rid of in her life had done something amazing again...
