Chapter 21

Bai Xiaowen and Gloria walked one after the other in the tunnel. All the zombie rats they encountered along the way were easily killed by Gloria.

Bai Xiaowen felt a little regretful when he saw this. These were all top-grade sandbags that could be used to train one's specialty proficiency. But he also knew that he had no room to bargain, so he could only walk silently.

"We're here."

Bai Xiaowen said as they stood in front of the door of a basement.

"This is the room you hid in at the beginning, right?" Gloria asked suspiciously. "I've already searched the room. Other than a servant's body, there's nothing else. Falca isn't here either."

Bai Xiaowen turned on the searchlight and walked into the basement again.

"Of course Falca isn't in this basement. He's hiding in an even more secluded dark room. It's only a wall away from this basement! Am I right, Lionheart Empire's former chief royal alchemist, Lord Falca?! "

Bai Xiaowen's raised voice echoed in the basement.

Gloria frowned as she looked at the empty basement. Just as she was about to mock Bai Xiaowen, she suddenly heard a dull roar!

One of the walls of the basement cracked open without warning, and a stone door slowly opened. Then, a skinny black shadow slowly walked out of the stone door.

This skinny black shadow had messy hair, and his black robe was already covered in stains and smelled terrible. Amidst his messy hair, his eyes were cold and sharp, causing one's heart to turn cold.

"How did you know I was in the dark room?"

It was obvious that this person was Falca. He spoke slowly and powerfully, giving people the feeling that he was not crazy at all.

"Logically speaking, you and Mr. Malgor are master and servant. You're also gay friends who escaped together. On Earth, you're even considered to be from the same hometown. In this dark Catacombs, if the two of you dug a basement to live, you'd probably need to seek psychological comfort together. Living close to each other is normal. "

"Your feelings for Mr. Malgor are quite contradictory. Even though he deserved to die for betraying you, once he dies, you will truly be all alone. So, you left his corpse in his room next door, and even restrained these crazy rats from eating and destroying it … You have deep feelings for him. That's why I'm more confident now. "

"From a vigilant point of view, Mr. Margao needs to stand guard for you, so when the room is excavated, his room must be set up next to the dark room where you hold the ritual. From what I have said, I infer that your secret chamber is near Margaard's. I just didn't expect you to come out so easily. I thought it would take some time to find a switch or something like that … "

"Margao … That lowly servant. That's right, he betrayed me! So I killed him! "

A trace of confusion and confusion flashed in Falca's cold eyes. He growled, "Anyone who betrays me must die! Margao, Gloria, that treacherous Tolkien, and that blind Tibron III, they all have to die! "

Seeing that Falca was about to go berserk, Bai Xiaowen quickly hid behind the Royal Knight Gloria and sneakily used Insight.

However, all Bai Xiaowen saw was a string of question marks. Other than the name, he couldn't see anything else. It was exactly the same as Gloria's!

Bai Xiaowen thought to himself, "Good job!

"So, Falca's ritual is a success? Gloria, who chased after him like a stray dog, might not be able to win … Very good, Mr. Falca. I'm not afraid of your strength, but I'm afraid that you're too weak! "

Gloria took a step forward and pulled out a greatsword from under the cloak on her back!

"Traitor Falca! I, Gloria, the leader of the Glorious Knights, am ordered by His Majesty to eliminate you on the spot and take back the Sea Demon's Soulstone! Accept the punishment of justice! "

After shouting a grand speech, Gloria took a step forward and slashed at Falca!

"Gloria," Falca said grimly, "I now have the power of the soulstone. I'm different from before!" He whipped out a long whip from his sleeve. It crackled with electricity as it attacked Gloria.

The two powerful question mark level bosses fought fiercely, and it was very intense. However, Bai Xiaowen was not in the mood to watch this. He sneaked along the edge of the basement and sneaked into the secret door behind Falca.

Gloria ignored him. Her target was Falca. Bai Xiaowen was just a small fry, so she didn't care what he did. Falca, on the other hand, kept roaring and trying to rush back, but he was stopped by Gloria's heavy sword.

Seeing Falca's reaction, Bai Xiaowen was even more certain.

"That's right! The Soulstone is definitely not on Falca. It's in his secret chamber! "

Falca broke through the wall and came out. Obviously, his confidence was boosted, and he jumped out to fight Gloria head-on. His tattered robe didn't even have a pocket. How could he keep the Soulstone? Even if there was a pocket, what if it was broken in the fierce battle?

Therefore, Bai Xiaowen guessed that the Soulstone should be in the secret chamber. Falca's frantic eagerness confirmed this point.

That Soulstone was definitely an extremely valuable treasure. How could Bai Xiaowen not be tempted? He took the initiative to bring Gloria to Falca because he wanted to take advantage of the situation when the two bosses were fighting.

Of course, he had to play it by ear.

If Falca was too weak, the battle would end quickly, and Bai Xiaowen would of course stay put. But now, Gloria and Falca were locked in a fierce battle. It was the best chance for Bai Xiaowen to get the Soulstone! Of course, he wouldn't let it go.

There was an oil lamp hanging on the wall of the secret chamber. He could barely see the situation inside.

"Where's the Soulstone?"

Bai Xiaowen's eyes swept across every corner of the dark room, tapping and tapping as he listened carefully. Suddenly, his eyes lit up. In the innermost corner, he found an inconspicuous switch.

He turned the switch, and after a creaking sound, a narrow tunnel that was only as tall as a person and less than a meter wide appeared. Bai Xiaowen shone the searchlight. The tunnel was dark, and there were only two green lights. It was frighteningly bright.

Bai Xiaowen suddenly remembered something. He turned around and ran.

There was a gust of wind behind Bai Xiaowen, followed by a strong force. Bai Xiaowen's body was sent tumbling forward a few times. His face was covered in dirt, and he was in a sorry state.

Bai Xiaowen's waist was almost broken. He groaned, endured the pain, and rolled on the ground like a lazy donkey. This wise move saved his life. Just as he was about to roll away, a black shadow pounced on his original position. Stone fragments flew everywhere!
