Fortunately, the paladin Henk did not go too far in hiding the things, nor did he hide them too far or too far away. Therefore, after experiencing the troubles caused by the brain-eating monster, the few of them were safe and sound.

Without encountering any more monsters or dangers, they arrived at their destination—the ruins of the hanging city of Dorumbude.

However, although the underground city here does not have as many monsters and residents in the previous area, the environment is much more dangerous than the previous city where the brain-eating monsters lived!

Everyone looked around and saw the dark red lava everywhere underneath, slowly rolling in the canyon like an underground river, exuding a burning breath and the smell of sulfur, which made people want to vomit from the smell.

The poisonous gas filled the hot air, making several people feel as if they were going to suffocate immediately.

Coupled with the pain caused by the high temperature, almost the moment they arrived here, they felt beads of sweat dripping from their bodies, and they almost didn't want to stay any longer.

Moreover, in addition to the high temperature, poisonous gas and terrible lava, those huge chains were also hanging motionless on the top wall of the huge cave, and the suspended islands were like huge boxes, covered by that

Countless chains were connected to each other, just hanging on the magma, and everyone who had never seen such a sight was dumbfounded.

Because, in that case, if the chain is suddenly broken, or there is some small problem at a certain connection point, I am afraid that all the people staying on the suspended islands will definitely fall and be burned alive.

Bar?

Anyway!

Edkin, Holgay and Simon made a rough estimate. Considering the terrifying temperature of the magma below, if they fell, they could only last for three seconds at most, and really couldn't go any longer.

"Everyone!"

"This is the Hanging City of Dorumbude, the destination of our trip."

"You must have all seen it..."

"In this underground world, life is fragile, and every wrong step may lead to extremely fatal consequences!"

"At the same time, in this endless dark world, life is also tenacious. Some life forms have adapted to this environment. They live among caves and rivers for many years, obtaining energy and food from lava."

"They have the ability to survive poisonous gas and high temperatures, and have mastered the smelting technology of making chains. They also use the chains to connect suspended islands and other tribes, thus forming such a huge suspended transportation network."

"These suspended islands are one of their proudest achievements."

"Each of these islands was once an independent community. They connected the islands with chains and even connected each other with magic bridges, forming a unique cultural and economic system."

"However……"

"Due to various reasons, this city with a splendid civilization eventually perished, leaving only such a lamentable ruin."

Having said this, Paladin Henk couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Because, he remembered their Serbian country.

Now, his hometown has become a dead land. The Ser people have been destroyed by Sazastan. The people and his relatives have all turned into a group of immortal monsters. They are no longer the people who gave birth to and raised him.

Such a beautiful land.

"okay!"

"We are not here to listen to your stories, nor are we here to go sightseeing!"

"Where's the helmet?"

"Where are you hiding?"

Now that he had successfully arrived at his destination, Edkin hurriedly urged him thinking of the monsters he had seen along the way, not wanting to stay any longer.

"there!"

"We'll be there just after crossing this bridge, not far away."

"I hid it in a shrine in the ruins of the suspended island on the far side of this fissure canyon."

It seemed that he was already accustomed to Edkin's attitude, so the paladin didn't care anymore. Instead, he walked to the bridge connecting the suspended islands and pointed to a large suspended island with iron cables visible in the distance.

"What are you waiting for?"

"Let's go!"

After taking a look and realizing that it was indeed not far away, Edkin was ready to be the first to set off.

"stop!"

"If you go up like this, you will die."

However, before Edkin officially stepped onto the bridge, he was frightened by the cold words of the paladin Henk. Then, he had to stop and slowly turned around stiffly, using strange and

Angry eyes glared over.

"Don't you see anything wrong with this bridge?"

"There is an ancient goblin trap above it. You can only get through it with the right method."

"otherwise……"

"You will fall with the bridge!"

Paladin Henk didn't mind Edkin's eyes and just spoke calmly.

"Mechanism trap?"

"interesting!"

"I feel that there is indeed some ancient magic left above..."

“It’s amazing!”

"It's almost a permanent enchantment!"

"Maybe some mechanical and engineering knowledge mixed in?"

Hearing that a bridge was so magical, Simon was of course the first to step forward and study it in amazement.

"what way?"

"Say it!"

Edkin became impatient and urged directly.

“It’s easy!”

"Did you see the symbols on the stones on the bridge deck? It's a number. We have to start from the center stone to get on the bridge, and we have to step on odd-numbered stones!"

"One step forward at a time!"

"Every five steps you take, you must move laterally, either left or right, as long as the next step is equidistant from the previous step."

"If you continue after that, you can only step on odd-numbered blocks!"

"but……"

"When we reach the middle of the bridge, we have to immediately switch to even-numbered blocks, the same as the previous pattern, but we have to move sideways on the fourth step until we reach the third block..."

Click!

However, something happened that made everyone including Paladins Henk, Edkin, Holgai and Doric stunned: before the long-winded Henk explained the rules of the bridge clearly, Simon, the chief warlock in the team,

I accidentally stepped on a stone brick in front of the bridge.

Then……

Rumble, rumble...

The long mechanical magic stone bridge, estimated to be about 100 meters, collapsed instantly while they were stunned.

"that……"

"I thought it only started when we got to the bridge..."

"I think……"

"Its structure and rules are somewhat unreasonable?"

"Is there any other way to get there?"

After seeing that a bridge that was in good condition all fell into the scorching lava lake below in an instant, and it was definitely impossible to salvage it, Simon was also a little dumbfounded. It took a long time to look at the Paladin Henry who showed an angry look for the first time with some embarrassment.

Kepin asked.

But there is no doubt that there is no other way, otherwise, Henk would not choose such a suspended ruins as a storage place for the helmet.

What he is interested in is this bridge that will lead to death if he takes the wrong step!

But fortunately, in the end, when everyone was at a loss and thinking of various ways, Simon finally made up for it and found a cane that Holgay took out from his bag, which was called "Maralamine".

The "cane" thing is actually a rare teleportation staff that Holgai stole from a wizard in Gray Peak Mountain before?

Because the barbarian female warrior Horgai didn't know the goods, neither did the halfling Malamin, so it remained in the dust until the two broke up.

So, the next thing becomes simple.

Although Simon destroyed the bridge and blocked everyone's path, after he activated the teleportation staff and created two teleportation gates at one end and the other of the bridge, he instantly changed from a sinner to a great hero!

because……

Edkin, Doric and Holgai all admitted afterward that if Simon had not destroyed the bridge, they would have used the tongue-twister-like rules and methods mentioned by the paladin Henk.

The IQ that is rejected by the brain-eating monster is definitely incomprehensible.

"etc!"

"What about Annie?"

"look!"

"She's still over there, sleeping on that bear's shoulder!"

Soon, when everyone successfully passed the portal and reached the other side of the bridge in the blink of an eye, and was about to move on, Edkin suddenly noticed that something seemed to be missing behind him, so he hurriedly called out to everyone and pointed to the other side of the collapsed bridge.
To be continued...
