From a distance, Brian found that the complex that appeared in front of him was not sure whether it should be classified as a village or a fortress.

A large area of ​​fallen withered trees surrounded the rough area of ​​the village and covered an area of ​​about 1,000 square meters.

The lizards fill the gaps between the trees with hay and mud. It seems that they have experienced many years to form this strange but very practical building today.

After careful observation through "Hawkeye", Brian found that inside the complex was a maze surrounded by plants. The long-dead branches and bushes covered with branches and leaves were intertwined intricately, forming a dark corridor leading to the depths of the village.

The two people who are used to buildings in the civilized world have a very incongruous feeling about this...

"I'm still wondering why I haven't encountered the Lizardmen from the Dark Scale Tribe in Guangze." Karadna withdrew her gaze and nodded in a sudden sense. "It turns out that these lizardmen have moved to the shadow plane with their clans."

"Hey, Brian, how do they survive in an environment as depressing as the shadow plane?" She played with a strand of hair hanging down on her chest in boredom, and approached Brian's side, curiously raised her doubts.

"If you have time, you will know if you ask the people in Yinhun City." Brian replied casually, his attention falling into the Lizardman's settlement from beginning to end.

He saw that most of the gates of this village were mesh structures woven from small saplings, covered with loopholes, looking shaky and unreliable.

Looking inside, he could clearly sense that the entire village was shrouded in thick shadows. It could be seen that the lizard people living here had little requirements for lighting, and only the light from the shadows was revealed from the inside.

"Let's go." Brian smiled and greeted the angrily sorcerer, signaling her to follow, and walked along a path leading to the village.

As the two approached the village quietly, Brian discovered that the village seemed to have been formed naturally due to a large-scale tree collapse.

The torso of a few living trees still tenaciously grew out of dead stumps and branches. The cracks between the branches were filled with fences made of branches and unprocessed soil.

In front of the two men was a village gate made of willow branches, and two torches made of human heads were hung on both sides of the entrance.

"Why must we pass through this village?" Karadna frowned and asked through his soul.

"Because the end of this village is a large fortress next to a lake shrouded in the darkness." Brian explained to her briefly, then pushed open the willow door that seemed to have no meaning and walked in.

Although the sorcerer behind him was a little instinctively repelled the dirty lizardman village, he complained, but he finally followed without hesitation.

The interior of the Lizardman Village is cold and wet, and the ground is like a dirt road washed by heavy rain. If you step on it, you can get mud, as well as some red, white and black, and many other disgusting things.

A tree stump appears from time to time in the damp soil, affecting the speed of the two people's movement.

When he first encountered a wooden stake hidden in the mud, if Bryan hadn't supported Karadna in time, this delicate warlock lady would have really fallen on the dirty ground.

However, this is just a small episode of Karadna's carelessness. After all, even the harsh environment is not as bad as the two legendary spell casters.

After walking a while in the quiet village, Brian signaled Karadna to stand in place, and took the initiative to push open a nearby door and walked in.

As the smell of smell spread, he saw the roots and branches around the room protruding out from the floor, ceiling and ground irregularly, and only simple corrections were made so that it would not hinder the smooth flow of the passage.

The ceiling of the wooden house is only about 1.5 meters high, and it is very irregular in shape. It is very difficult for people who are slightly taller to walk.

Thick moss grows on every piece of the room with rough pottery, wooden tools, a stone fire pit, and some other furniture, from this point of view, hasn't been used here for quite some time.

After getting the answer in his heart, Brian shook his head slightly and walked out again.

At this moment, the two of them saw the dim yellow light coming from the front, dyeing this dark world a bit color.

They looked along the light and found that there seemed to be a large room in the southeast, where several passages converged.

Immediately afterwards, Brian heard a faint hissing sound from the darkness, and then, more than twenty lizard men covered with black scales rushed out of the dark and low room.

One of the lizardmen also threw a yellow clay jar at Karadna.

As the jar broke at the sorcerer's feet, waves of lingering black smoke emerged. A ghostly snake more than ten meters long condensed from the smoke at an extremely fast speed and bit Karadna angrily.

——"Missile Storm!"

Brian raised his staff and pointed at the group of lizardmen. Hundreds of arcane missiles condensed from magical energy shot out, smashing all the enemies who came from bad luck into sieves.

The roaring and roaring ghost snake was also killed by the deep purple chaotic magic ball thrown out by Karadna.

By effectively solving the group of lizard men, Brian and the others came to a position that emitted dim light.

This is a huge and irregular room, with ancient tree trunks supporting the ceiling wrapped around the head, the ceiling is about 3 meters high, much higher than the previous small room. The ground tilts from south to north, and on the whole north side is a large pool filled with black pool water.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! The moment the two stepped into this huge room, Brian instantly noticed that the water in the pool was slowly rippling.

Accompanied by the sputtering of water, a giant snake covered with thick blue and black scales appeared in the pool.

It has a humanoid head, with several waving tentacles stretching out from its chin, and a milky white needle at the tip of its tail.

"What kind of monster is this?" Karadna looked at the giant snake in the pool in surprise, and instinctively leaned towards Brian.

"I can't see it." Brian frowned slightly and guessed: "It should be a variant of Ghost Naga."

Although he could feel that the giant snake had infinitely close to the legendary level, after seeing the deep black liquid in the pool water, he realized that this was definitely the result of some secret method to encourage growth.

"Human~~" The giant snake curled up in the pool, looking down at Brian and the other two with its dark blue snake eyes, with a long voice unique to snake creatures.

"Who are you? What are you doing here?" A touch of playfulness floated in its cold snake eyes, "It's interesting... You must be my lord's enemy."

As soon as the words were finished, a dark gray cone spurted out from the giant snake's mouth, covering the two of them with a suffocating negative energy and a disgusting odor.

Karadna flashed and avoided the giant snake's negative energy spurt, and Brian supported a wall-like energy protection barrier, isolating all the attacks from two meters away.

Seeing that the energy wall was corroded by spitting attacks at a speed visible to the naked eye, Brian quickly recited a spell and pointed his staff towards the pool.

——"Ice cone!"

A cold air gushed out from the top of the staff, quickly covering the entire black pool, and an extremely cold area emerged instantly.

In an instant, with the sound of crisp freezing, the entire pool, along with the giant snakes entrenched here, were frozen in place.

Karadna, who was beside her, also condensed a basin-sized chaotic magic ball from her palm in time. At the moment when the giant snake relied on its fierce force to break free from the freezing bond, it burst out with a deep purple energy that even the air was slightly distorted.

Accompanied by the giant snake's shrill roar, the blue and black scales on its body peeled off layer by layer under the soaking of chaotic energy, revealing a bloody body.

Brian pulled out the star sword that was leaping with blue and white curse fire, and drew a sword light like a flash of stars. The twisted head of the giant snake, like a human creature, soared into the sky and rolled to the ground, and its stiff body floated on the water.

Seeing that the enemy had completely died, Brian and Karadna no longer delayed their time and continued to move towards the depths.

After they solved five waves in a row, with a total number of more than a hundred lizard men, they found a muddy and wet room.

This dirty room was one person lower than the other rooms, like a big pit, two unfortunate lizard men were lying on the ground with their hands tied back in a mixture of wet mud and feces.

"Hiss~ Save us. Hiss, we are not shadow scales, we are sharp teeth." Seeing Brian appear, one of the lizard men seemed to have seen the savior and hurriedly said in the dragon language: "Please save us."

Brian waved his hand and unshackled the two lizard men, ignored them, led Karadna toward a road deep in the village leading to the fortress.

According to the news he once had in the game world, let him know that the destination they were heading was a lost monastery.

A long time ago, a group of Shar's Dark Moon monks built an introverted monastery here in order to explore the secrets of the dark cracks.

Although these monks have long been destroyed in the corner of history, Shar protected the secrets and security of this monastery.

When the ancient black dragon Despier decided to hold a ceremony to tear the magic net and began to recruit believers and guards, he was taken here.

The monastery is on the top of a small hill, only a few hundred meters from the pier at the end of the eastern part.

Here you can overlook the depths of the shadows in the eastern part of the canyon, and from the pier you can lead to the walls that have already collapsed in the monastery.

Since Despier performed rituals with their men in the depths of the canyon, they would hardly use this abandoned monastery.

So the people of Shar Church did not live here, and the people who used this monastery were followers of the murder god Cirick.

The people of Shar Church do not trust this group of followers, so naturally they do not allow them to enter the ceremony of the Dark Grand Canyon without permission.

However, believers of the murder god Cirick are satisfied that they can stay near the ceremony and provide arcane support for the black dragon Despier to grasp the current status of the ceremony.

Their leader is Ethel, the skeleton waiter, and her deputy is Zesamas, a demonic race who jointly guards the lost monastery.

After the long trip, Brian finally saw a small pier on the east side of the river berth in the dark illumination emitted by the road sign lanterns.

The dock looks deserted for a long time and has no one to take care of, making people wonder whether it can be used normally.

However, looking forward, you can find that there are no longer any other signs flashing in front of you, and it seems that this should be the end of this journey.

A closer look can also be seen that behind the pier there is a path leading to a steep cliff in the depths of the darkness, with ferns and plants that seem to be algae extending up the slope from the river bay.

"Brian, do you have an illusion?" As he walked, Karadna's voice echoed in Brian's mind, "I always feel that someone is secretly peeking at us."

"That's true." Brian looked around thoughtfully and said to her, "Ignore it for the time being before we reach the Dark Grand Canyon."

With doubts in their hearts, the two walked along the path to the cliff. The mountain was very steep, and the sides of the road were covered with dense bushes. The dim and hazy vision made the night road in this section of the mountain more and more profound.

Along the way, they saw no guards from the pier to the mountain road.

To be precise, any biological activity.

This even made Brian wonder whether he had taken the wrong path or was facing a huge challenge soon.

Even so, in addition to being vigilant, he could only walk on the ground with his teeth.

Following this mountain road, a vague shadow of a huge building gradually appeared in front of them.

If you look closely, you can see that in front of the two people was a guard room, with a faint torch burning in front of the door, and an iron bell was hanging on a rope and hung in front of the door.

Under the light of the fire, the windows of the guard room, half hidden in the darkness, were staring at them like eyes full of malicious intentions.

Through careful detection, Brian found that the floor of the guard room had long disappeared, and the room was covered with swamp plants.

From this we can see that this building has been abandoned for a long time.

And the bell hanging on a rope seemed to be just a tool to symbolically inform him of his arrival when Pastor Shahr visited here.

The two of them hid their breath as much as possible, walked through the guard room carefully, and successfully arrived at the inner courtyard of the fortress.

This vibrant courtyard is surrounded by ancient stone walls. From the inside, the complex really looks like a traditional monastery.
