Jia Lan was curious whether people of this era knew about the "Underworld" hidden in the deep land under their feet.

  However, for the pre-civilization where Jia Lan came from, the high-risk forbidden areas on the surface were nothing compared to it.

  Although some people always like to say that "hell" is deep in the earth, in fact, the "hell" in people's mouths is just another name for the "Underworld". Although this description is not accurate, using "hell" to describe the "Underworld" also vividly reveals its horror.

  The heavy earth, like a kind mother, accepts those races that cannot gain a foothold on the surface for various reasons.

  For billions of years, no one can tell how many little-known secrets are hidden in the arms of this mother.

  Jia Lan doesn't know how many biological groups in his era were eliminated by nature, and how many groups dived underground to seek the protection of Mother Earth in order to survive.

  Even without considering the underground tribes that were notorious in Jia Lan's time, the parts that survived the destruction of the former civilization are enough to make people shudder.

  This ancient Dragon Worship Temple ruins, which was little known in the pre-civilization period, is not only beyond Jia Lan's imagination, but also constantly refreshes his cognition of its danger.

  It is impossible to know how deep they go underground, but the danger increases with every meter of depth.

  The thieves who went down to the bottom of the collapsed cave first brought shocking news: this fault cave is hundreds of meters deep, and below it is another layer of ruins!

  Jia Lan speculated that perhaps before the "East 4th Hall" collapsed due to geological changes, there was a secret passage connecting the upper and lower floors of the Dragon Worship Temple ruins.

  This is really an incredible underground building.

  Apart from the collapsed and damaged areas, the remaining parts of the Dragon Worship Temple ruins are still shocking.

  However, no one expected that there was another layer of ruins hidden under this layer of ruins!

  Unlike the agile mercenaries, the descent of magicians such as Jia Lan seemed easier.

  The wind magicians cast wind magic and slowly descended with magicians of other factions.

  And Jia Lan's method was even simpler. He only needed to drink another bottle of levitation potion and landed as lightly as a fallen leaf.

  Surprisingly, the exit of this collapsed cave was cleverly blocked by the fallen rubble. From the outside, it was impossible to detect that there was a secret passage leading to the top.

  The mercenaries worked together to move several boulders and expand the exit, so that everyone could enter the lower level of the ruins.

  This is a complex ruins area. From the layout, it can still be seen that this was originally the living area of ??dragon worshippers.

  Public toilets, open dining halls, storage rooms and other densely packed rooms are scattered and orderly, enough to accommodate hundreds of people.

  A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation.

  The thieves found some antique items in the ruins, such as a small number of ancient coins and scattered gems.

  However, most of this place has collapsed and broken, and it is unusable now. If you want to reuse it, cleaning up the rubble will be a difficult task.

  The voices and firelight that Hugo and others heard before obviously came from the depths of this area.

  Everyone moved carefully, and the rubble under their feet made a rustling sound from time to time.

  The mercenaries were surprised by this huge living area, which was like an underground town.

  And farther away from the living area with a more complete layout, there are some large living rooms, which look like a place where lower-status dragon worshippers live together.

  After passing through the large living room area and a deep pit full of bones, Jia Lan and others entered an underground cemetery in a low cave.

  Many simple coffins were densely piled in the branch caves, and there were countless of them.

  Due to the long history, the wood of most coffins has decayed into slag, and the bones inside have been scattered all over the ground.

  The blue phosphorescent fire makes this place even more eerie.

  In the most secret corner of the cemetery, there is a mysterious obsidian altar, on which stand four majestic sarcophagi, like the guardians of history.

  In front of these sarcophagi, there are some small stone platforms, each of which is flickering with candlelight, and there are a few relics scattered around, which seem to still have the breath of the deceased.

  Jia Lan and his party were attracted by the four strange candlelights. After all, this place has been sleeping for thousands of years. What can continue to burn in such a long time?

  Perhaps there are just visitors here to pay tribute, or perhaps there is a long-lasting magic mystery behind the candlelight.

  No matter which possibility it is, it has aroused the curiosity of Jia Lan and others, but they also know that danger may come at any time.

  Jia Lan cast the "Detect Undead" spell, and the result was shocking - the concentration of negative energy here was astonishing, as if it could explode at any time.

  Thinking of the golden skeletons they encountered before, Kenmet and others couldn't help swallowing their saliva. The number of skeletons here was enough to form a terrifying army of undead.

  On the obsidian altar and sarcophagus, there were lifelike dragon patterns carved, and the four candlelights were not real flames, but were blessed by the "Eternal Flame" spell to illuminate this silent place.

  "Look, there seems to be something engraved here." Hugo carefully observed around the altar and found that there were strange words engraved on each stone platform.

  Jia Lan slowly read out: "Tanaa Man Heka Meng...Nai Na Ya...A Zang Gong Ti...Nai Hui Nai...", and explained: "This is dragon language, which means 'guardian of dragon power, summoner of flame, shepherd of dragons under the night, guide of death', which may be the identity symbol of the deceased in the coffin."

  Hugo was not very interested in these words, and his eyes were fixed on the relics on the stone platforms.

  Although Jia Lan did not recommend touching them, he still carefully lifted a stone platform and found that it was a hidden storage box, which contained items such as peridot skeleton dragon statues, jade dragon-shaped glass amulets, rings, scrolls and potions.

  Jia Lan quickly put away these items. Although Hugo cast a resentful look, he knew that these unidentified treasures might cause trouble to the curious Hugo.

  "Now, let's leave quietly and don't touch anything." Jia Lan reminded, but before he finished speaking, the sarcophagus made a harsh friction sound and the lid slowly opened.

  Everyone's eyes were focused on the candle in Hugo's hand. He explained innocently: "I just think Mr. Jia Lan may have missed something... With these candles, we don't have to worry about lighting at night."

  "Run!" Jia Lan shouted, and everyone ran towards the exit of the cemetery, and the bones in the cemetery began to wriggle, splicing each other, trying to stand up.

  "Hugo! You bastard! I'm going to cut off your claws!" Kenmet roared, and Hugo, who ran faster than him, shouted aggrievedly: "Hey! Boss! It's not my fault! My profession is a 'thief'!"

  Jia Lan shouted anxiously: "Throw away the candle in your hand!" Everyone realized that this greedy 'thief' was still holding the candle tightly.

  "No! Never..." Hugo screamed, but was grabbed by the ankle by a skeleton whose upper body had been pieced together. He had no choice but to smash the candle on the skeleton's face, turned over and climbed up to continue running away.

  When they fled to the entrance of the cemetery, the first sarcophagus with "Dragon Power Guardian" written on it had been completely opened, and a knight skeleton wearing heavy armor walked out of it, holding a huge sword in his hand!
