Chapter 1220

Amidst the difficult metal friction sound, Goss disappeared from Su Xiao's line of sight again. As for why it was said "again," because a minute ago, Goss had disappeared from Su Xiao's line of sight in a free-fall manner.

At this moment, Su Xiao was hanging a string of people. Alisa Herbert, who was grabbed in Amu's hand, became a genuine pendant, and the group descended at a leisurely pace.

About dozens of seconds later.

Boom!

A loud bang came from below; it should be Goss reaching the bottom.

Soon, Su Xiao and his party reached the bottom of the metal shaft. Goss wasn't injured. Just before landing, he imitated Su Xiao's previous method, stabbing the knight sword at his waist into the metal wall to land safely.

After reaching the bottom of the shaft, Su Xiao looked around. There was a metal door at the bottom of the shaft. This metal door was carved with patterns of unknown meaning. There was no rust on the metal door, and there was a round hole in the center.

Su Xiao checked the situation inside the round hole with the light of the military glow stick. The round hole was about fifty centimeters deep, and there was a metal rod inside. This should be the mechanism to open the metal door.

Su Xiao drew the Zhan Checking Zhan Long Shan from his waist and stabbed the metal door with one strike.

Ding.

Sparks flew, and a shallow dent was stabbed into the metal door. This thing was very sturdy. To be precise, there was some kind of energy protecting this metal door.

It wasn't that Su Xiao couldn't destroy this metal door. If he used brute force to dismantle it, he would need at least a few hours, or even longer.

After hesitating for a moment, Su Xiao's left hand, wrapped in a metal bracer, reached into the round hole of the metal door. At the same time, he held the Zhan Checking Zhan Long Shan against his left arm. As long as the situation was slightly wrong, he would cut off his left arm. As for why he didn't let Goss test it, the reason was that Su Xiao didn't trust the other party.

Su Xiao's hand grabbed the iron rod inside the round hole, and a burst of energy wrapped around Su Xiao's hand.

Bang!

The unknown energy inside the round hole surged, forcibly pushing Su Xiao's left arm out of the round hole.

Su Xiao moved his somewhat numb left arm. He knew that this door should be a mechanism that required royal blood to open, so his gaze turned to Alisa Herbert.

Alisa Herbert noticed Su Xiao's gaze. She first looked at Su Xiao, then looked at the metal round hole. After pacing back and forth several times, she shook her head rapidly, her small head almost shaking into a rattle.

"Open it."

"I won't."

"You have no right to refuse."

"I just won't."

A few seconds later, Su Xiao, holding the Zhan Checking Zhan Long Shan, blocked Goss's path, while Amu carried Alisa Herbert toward the metal door.

"Your Highness the Princess!"

Goss roared, his face changing one after another. Although he wanted to stop Amu, he was helpless. His strength wasn't as strong as Su Xiao's, and he didn't dare to defy the royal family.

Su Xiao looked at Alisa Herbert, who was "struggling hard." He felt that if this continued, it wouldn't be a way. Later, there might be many mechanisms that needed this silly sweet princess to open.

Su Xiao signaled Amu to let go of Alisa Herbert and let Amu and Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang block Goss's sight. He came to Alisa's side, his gaze looking straight into Alisa Herbert's eyes. Alisa's gaze began to dodge.

Su Xiao grabbed Alisa's fair chin. Alisa's skin was very smooth. Su Xiao spoke: "Look into my eyes."

"T-the light is too dim, I can't see."

It had to be said that Alisa Herbert was not only very useless, but she was also very cheeky.

"We need your help now."

For a master of psychological interrogation like Su Xiao, he certainly had ways to make Alisa Herbert obedient.

"R-really?"

Alisa Herbert's cheeks were slightly red and very nervous. She had never experienced the feeling of being needed, and the "skin-to-skin contact" with a male made her a bit unaccustomed.

"Of course."

Su Xiao prepared a series of rhetoric, but this silly cute princess was too easy to deceive, and his rhetoric wasn't used at all.

Now Su Xiao experienced the feeling the old King once had. Princes and princesses were mostly dragons and phoenixes among people. Even if they didn't have unique talents, they knew how to manage fiefdoms. Suddenly, a thing like Alisa Herbert popped up, which was indeed very unaccustomed, just like a husky mixed into a group of police dogs.

After the old King learned about the situation in the fiefdom managed by Alisa Herbert, the old King's first reaction was: "Is this thing really my seed? How could my daughter be such a waste? Could it be that the Queen had an affair? Perhaps the fetus's head was hit during the Queen's pregnancy?"

"T-then, why are we here."

Alisa was always in a state of being stunned. Now she only knew that she was underground in the palace.

"We are here... uh~"

Su Xiao couldn't say he was here to find the 【Stone of Extinction】. Although this was indeed his purpose, it didn't sound very bright, great, and righteous.

"Your father the King is dead."

As soon as Su Xiao finished speaking, Alisa Herbert and Goss were already stunned.

"Before he died, he entrusted me with one thing, which is to find a certain thing under the throne. The matter is of great importance. I can't explain the details, but you only need to know one point: your father the King trusted you very much, so he specifically named me to bring you under the throne."

Before the old King died, he did entrust Su Xiao with one thing and specifically named Alisa Herbert to enter under the throne. As for the old King's trust, let's spare this silly sweet princess; the old King was just simply making use of waste.

"R-really?"

Alisa Herbert clearly believed it, but Goss on the side didn't believe it. He really wanted to roar: Princess, don't believe the lies of this "devil."

"Since that's the case... then there's no other way."

Alisa Herbert's fair little fist clenched, and a sense of responsibility surged in her heart. Seeing this scene, Goss showed despair. His mouth opened and closed. If he weren't Alisa Herbert's guardian knight, he would definitely roar now: 'Are you a retard? You actually believe such suspicious words?'

Su Xiao, with a smile, turned his head to look at Goss. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Amu also looked at Goss at the same time. The expressions of the man, dog, and cow began to be cold. The meaning was very obvious: 'If you dare to talk nonsense, I'll slaughter you'.

A few seconds later, the man, dog, and cow turned their heads back to look at Alisa Herbert, their expressions very gentle. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's gaze clearly was... encouragement?

"I can do it."

Alisa Herbert took a few deep breaths. Her trembling little hand reached into the round hole of the metal door and grasped the iron rod inside.

Energy surged inside the round hole, and a stinging sensation came from Alisa Herbert's hand.

Crack, crack...

The mechanism behind the metal door began to run, and Alisa Herbert hurriedly withdrew her arm.

Boom, the metal door rose, and a pitch-black corridor appeared in front.

"Well done."

Su Xiao patted Alisa Herbert on the shoulder. Alisa had a mournful face. Although she was filled with a sense of responsibility, it hurt a bit when opening this mechanism. Unfortunately, this silly sweet princess was very afraid of pain.

Su Xiao threw the military glow stick in his hand into the pitch-black corridor, and the darkness was dispelled a bit. This corridor was built with a dark red rock, leading straight forward. Although it was deep underground, the oxygen here wasn't thin.

Clang, clang, clang...

There was a faint knocking sound coming from the front, and the knocking sound was very far away.

Su Xiao walked into the corridor first. Just as he entered the corridor, the prompt of Reincarnation Paradise appeared.

【Prompt: The Hunter has entered the hidden area, Sia Temple / Undead Tomb.】

【Sia Temple is a highly dangerous area, rewards such as treasure chests and World Source are increased by 20%.】

【Because Sia Temple is a hidden area, if you need to enter Sia Temple (outer perimeter), the Hunter needs to consume 600 Paradise Coins per hour. If Paradise Coins are insufficient, the Hunter will be forcibly teleported to the entrance of Sia Temple.】
