Chapter 114:39. Star Monument of Ancient Saint Ichi
The three missing animal trainers and lizards were wrapped in the spider web on the dome. The animal trainers carefully lowered them down with harpoon crossbows under the illumination of the glowing crystals. The Druki on the ground successfully caught the three unlucky guys.
The Black Ark pirates used serrated daggers to cut through the spider web. The trainer's eyes were tightly closed, foaming at the mouth, and his body was twitching, as if he was having a nightmare. The same was true for the two skinks.
"They've been poisoned! We need to find the wound and treat it quickly." Genevieve held up the glowing crystal and observed it for a moment, then made a prompt decision.
While the wounds were being treated in a bustle over there, the other Duruchi began to lay out glowing crystals in the large cave and began to be on guard.
Arriving in this large cavern, Daxus felt that magical feeling again. He lifted the glowing crystal and kicked it, rummaging through the garbage on the ground. The broken and shrunken limbs on the ground gave off a strange feeling. They didn't look like lizardmen at all, but rather some strange, unknown creature. There were also some strange rags on the ground. He had the impression that lizardmen didn't wear clothes. Could they be Amazons?
"Sir, the wound has been treated, the venom has been cleaned up and it's fine." Genevieve came to the sword point behind Daquus and said respectfully.
"Well, let's evacuate first..." Daxus was halfway through his words when he was attracted by the mural behind the slime on the wall.
The mural depicts a hot-blooded elf-like being standing on a combat platform on the back of an ancient triceratops, looking down upon all living beings. He blows a horn and points forward. A large group of Lustria behemoths are fighting fiercely with Chaos demons. In the sky, there are countless swooping pterosaurs and a feathered serpent spewing lightning. The ancient saint Ichi transforms into a shadow in the sky, enveloping and blessing the army.
"? Is this me?"
Daxus stood closer to the wall, wanting to see clearly whether the hot-blooded people on some of the murals were him.
The next second, Daxus' body was hit by a strange energy. A feeling of uneasiness swept over him. An invisible darkness obscured his eyes, and he suppressed a gasp.
It felt like a blunt knife cutting through flesh, peeling back layer by layer. The pain seemed to shatter his back teeth, and he struggled to overcome this strange feeling. He felt like he was about to die, but for some reason he was still alive and conscious.
When Dacius regained consciousness, he found himself standing in a strange hall. The hall's style was extremely bizarre, as if he had returned to the hidden ancient sanctuary of Papagos. However, the hall was empty, save for a tall star monument in the center.
Genevieve sat on the ground in a daze, seemingly still recovering from the shock. Apart from her, the hall was empty.
"Are you okay?" Daquus squatted in front of Genevieve, holding her cold hand, and waved his other hand in front of Genevieve's eyes, asking with concern.
It took Genevieve a long time to come back to her senses. She tried to pull her hand out of Daquus's hand, but when it didn't move after a few tries, she gave up.
"My lord, I'm fine."
"I'm glad you're okay. We might have been teleported away."
While Dacus was still talking, the Druki in the large cavern were already a bit bewildered. This teleportation was completely different from the one they had experienced in Hesiota. Dacus was the core of the Druki team, and the Druki's lives depended on him. They couldn't even imagine the consequences if something happened to him.
Ryan grabbed Chupakoko's shoulders with both hands and shook him madly.
"Qupakoko! Did the honorable Shilan teleport the adults away?! Is that right?!" Ryan asked sternly with red eyes. He hoped to get a positive answer from Chupakoko.
Chupakoko was also a little confused. He was about to talk to Dacus, but Dacus disappeared right in front of him. His eyes suddenly turned blue, and then he slowly shook his head.
"Your Excellency Lord Shilan, do you know where my Lord is?" At this moment, Ryan's expression was grim, and his facial features were horribly distorted.
Chupakoko paused as if he was searching for and thinking about something, and after a moment he shook his head.
"But he is still alive. I seem to be able to feel his breath." Mazdamuddin may have noticed that there was something wrong with the mental state of these Duruchi, so he added.
Bainie and Water now stood where Daquus had just stood, studying the murals. Bainie was okay after all, having seen a lot of storms, but Water was not so lucky. If Bainie hadn't supported him, he would have probably collapsed on the ground.
Franais took deep breaths, trying to calm himself down, but his whole body was shaking and he couldn't calm down at all. He trembled and took out the serrated dagger, hoping to force himself to calm down by hurting himself. His sister reached out her equally trembling hand to support his arm, stopping him.
"My Lord will be fine."
"Come and take a look. The mural seems to depict an adult?" Walter said excitedly in a distorted voice.
The Duruchis all gathered around, holding up the glowing crystals and carefully studying the contents of the mural.
"Was the lord teleported away by this mural?" Alyssa wiped off the disgusting mucus on the mural and stroked the hot-blooded creature carved on the mural. She seemed to want to trigger something, but after waiting for a long time, there was still no result.
"Let's keep looking. We must find you no matter what the cost today!" Franais calmed down now and began to give orders calmly.
Akadan, who was outside, suddenly received some kind of instructions. He began to command the skin lizards and giant lizards to bring weapons, equipment and supplies into the passage.
The monitor lizard Kami also followed the group of monitor lizards in confusion. He couldn't understand why they didn't move the stones and wanted to enter the passage.
"We have to go back quickly. If we wait any longer, they will probably go crazy." Daquus said to Genevieve while studying the stone tablet.
The star monument exudes a mysterious aura, as if a kind of star power is flowing within the star monument.
Daxus originally wanted to find the passage, but there was some mysterious force guiding him to look at the star monument and touch the stone tablet. He couldn't take his eyes off the star monument at all.
"Genevieve, can I trust you?"
Genevieve hesitated. Instead of saying anything immediately, she fell into deep thought.
"Your Excellency, yes," Genevieve said firmly after a moment.
"Okay." After saying that, Daquus directly touched the stone tablet with his hands.
"ah!!!"
This time, Daquus finally couldn't hold back. A strange energy from the Star Monument penetrated his body through his hands. He howled once, then fell silent. The strange energy within the Star Monument seemed to have materialized, gushing out from his eyes, mouth, and nose. His mouth was wide open, but he couldn't shout even if he wanted to.
