Chapter 0728 Abandoned Temple
But what the explorers did not expect was that the gold and silver treasures they found on each floor of the underground maze were either highly poisonous and died immediately after a touch, or the treasures brought out of the maze. In a few days, an unknown plague suddenly began to scatter, causing a large number of humans and livestock to die.≧
When people understand that these treasures cannot be taken out of the huge maze at will, it is too late. The entire Qilie Kingdom, such an extremely powerful and prosperous country, has already perished due to plague and curses.
In order to commemorate the terrible past of the demise of the Qilie Kingdom, the surviving people built a temple on the huge maze.
The temple's house tiles, exterior walls, floor tiles, etc. are all made of stones engraved with patterns of exorcism, in order to suppress the evil spirits in the underground maze to prevent the plague from spreading again. At first, the people of St. Lombun 6 had always devoted themselves to the temple, but after a long time, the temple gradually became deserted because it was unattended.
"But now, the abandoned temple and the underground maze have changed." Guan Heng said, pulling the reins of the snake-necked monster dragon. The mount immediately understood and landed on the flat ground not far ahead.
Guan Heng immediately said to Bori behind him: "Now the temple and this swamp have become St. Lombun's adventurer's paradise, look--"
Borui looked in the direction of Guan Heng's finger and was shocked: "Why is this place so lively like a market?"
"According to Ajin, in recent years, due to the invasion of the Dragon Clan Legion, a 'treasure hunting craze' has emerged."
Guan Hengshun tied the reins of the snake-necked monster dragon to a tree, and then said: "A large number of skilled people, such as magicians, warriors, priests and thieves, formed an expedition team to search for treasures in the underground maze under the abandoned temple."
"Boss, didn't you just say that the treasures of the underground maze are covered with nameless poisons and plagues?" Borui frowned and asked, "Aren't these people afraid of dying in the underground maze?"
"It's like this. I heard that some churches understand the holy water that eliminates evil and poison. The gold, silver and treasures washed with these holy water can be carried with you." Guan Heng explained: "And, there are some special treasure chests sold in the market here that can purify unclean things."
"Hi, dear guests, please pass by, don't miss it."
At this time, shouts rang out from the market along the swamp: "The latest style of the sect's divine water has the best effect of exorcising evil spirits."
"Look, this is a heavy sword and shield created by the skilled craftsmen of the mountain dwarfs. Even the dragon's sharp teeth, claws and dragon breath can be easily resisted. Now you are buying it in bulk and you will also get a fine iron helmet."
Borui was stunned when he looked at the huge grocery market. He whispered to Guan Heng: "Boss, why do these people do business here? This place is so remote, can they make money?"
"Based on my speculation, not only can you make money, but also make a lot of money if you are lucky, because most of the buyers and sellers here should be exploring teams entering and leaving the underground maze."
Guan Heng smiled slightly and took Borui to the market. He said, "Many explorers who came to the outer edge of the maze need to replenish supplies, or sell their excess supplies to others. People who came out of the maze need to take out some of the treasures they found. Over time, a huge market is formed."
"So that's it, I understand." Borui said suddenly: "Weapons and armors are worn out, and they need to be repaired and updated. Drugs and food are also essential for maze adventures. As long as you do business here, there will definitely be no shortage of business."
"Bang!" Guan Heng smiled and snapped his fingers and said, "Original explanation, but we came to the abandoned temple today not to explore treasures, but to the last stone tablet that sealed the soul demon."
"Yabu, stop sleeping!" Guan Heng raised his hand and slapped the soul-sucking beast that was dozing on his shoulder: "Do you know that you have pressed my shoulders sore?"
At this time, Yabu blinked his sleepy eyes and asked in a daze: "Uh?! Guan Heng, is it time to eat?"
"You have no contributions except eating or sleeping!" Guan Heng said angrily: "Hurry up and help me find the last stone tablet, and I will reward you with three dragon soul stones."
A gurgling sound came from his throat, and Yabu swallowed his saliva and said, "Is five pieces OK?"
"Okay, but you have to work harder to find it."
After saying this, Guan Heng turned his head and said to Boruiyan: "Mrs. Django mentioned that the abandoned temple is a radius of hundreds of miles. People from the Dragon Clan and the Demon Realm generally dare not approach it, because there are countless ancient huge evil-exorcist arrays arranged here. People with black air in the Demon Realm will be rejected when they walk to a certain area, and then they will be forcibly teleported to a place far away from the swamp."
Upon hearing this, Borui was overjoyed: "Then, we can feel at ease to find the stone tablet, and we don't have to worry about the people from the Dragon Clan Legion coming to make trouble."
"Don't take it lightly, our time is already very urgent." Guan Heng shook his head slowly and said, "And even if the people of the Dragon Clan Legion enter the swamp range of the abandoned temple, they may be ambushed nearby. Be careful of everything."
At this time, the soul-sucking beast Yabu twitched his nose and suddenly said to Guan Heng in a low voice: "I smell the stone tablet, but it's very far from here, as if it's somewhere underground."
"It seems that the stone tablet was buried in the underground maze, let's go." Guan Heng waved to Borui, and the two of them took big steps and ran directly towards the direction of the abandoned temple.
...
A few minutes later, at the entrance of the abandoned temple, Guan Heng and Borui were blocked by a group of people.
"Hey, what do you want to do?" Borui saw that there were men and women in this group, all with gloomy faces, as if he had bad intentions.
At this time, a tall and burly armored warrior suddenly stepped forward and said, "You want to go to the maze under the abandoned temple, right?"
"So what?" Guan Heng saw that the other party's palms were placed on the handle of the sword weapon and wanted to wait for an opportunity to move. He said coldly: "Let's go, we have to go there. Haven't you ever heard of a good dog not blocking the way?"
"Boy, in this place, no one has spoken like this to our Masim Expedition Team for a long time." The armored warrior glared and said, "It's okay to enter the underground maze. First, give us the 'introduction fee'!"
"What is the entry fee? I haven't heard of it." Borui saw these people acting like rogues and immediately said loudly: "The underground maze here belongs to your family? Why do you still ask us for money?"
"Hehe, you're right."
When the armored warrior heard this, he laughed: "Yes, three years ago, this abandoned temple and underground maze were already the private property of our Masim Expedition Team. Anyone who wants to go to the maze to hunt for treasure must pay us the entry fee, otherwise-"
