Chapter 1222

Could it be that Goss was really unlucky? Just happened to draw the red slip of paper? How could that be? There was no such coincidence in the world. Moreover, Su Xiao wouldn't kill Goss by chance.

In fact, all four slips of paper were red inside. Before this, Su Xiao had prepared many similar slips of paper, just to deal with the current situation. He didn't expect to really use them today.

Before opening the slips of paper, Su Xiao had already swapped his and Amu's slips of paper. It was done using the storage space. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang was the same. This was also why Amu couldn't open the slip of paper. It wasn't that its fingers were too thick, but that it didn't have a storage space.

A very simple method, but because of the information asymmetry, Goss couldn't find any problems.

Goss's face changed constantly. He looked at Alisa Herbert on the side. Alisa Herbert's eyes were full of worry, but she nodded hard at Goss. That meaning clearly was... encouragement?

Goss's mouth opened and closed. He was stimulated by Alisa's encouragement. Goss's heart was collapsing, but encountering such a thing, he could only accept his fate.

"I can scout the path, but Her Highness the Princess's safety..."

Just as Goss finished speaking, Su Xiao pressed one hand on Alisa Herbert's head.

"You just go scout the path. I'll be responsible for her safety."

"Take your hand off!"

Seeing Su Xiao press his hand on Alisa Herbert's head, Goss's expression was a bit twisted.

"Hmm?"

Su Xiao's hand rested on Alisa Herbert's delicate neck. Alisa's body stiffened, and her breathing was slightly rapid.

Goss clenched his fists. After a moment, he seemed to understand the principle that an arm couldn't twist a thigh. If the situation intensified further, Su Xiao's hand might even reach into Alisa Herbert's clothes. With Alisa's silly sweet personality, she would at most "struggle hard."

Goss actually misunderstood Su Xiao's meaning. He put his hand on Alisa's neck to tell Goss that if he didn't listen, he would break Alisa Herbert's neck. If they hadn't gone deep into the tomb yet, he wouldn't mind wasting some time to change to another royal descendant.

Clang.

Goss drew the knight sword at his waist. He took a deep breath and walked slowly toward the front.

The knocking sound got closer and closer. The straight stone corridor appeared with a turn, and the knocking sound came from behind the turn.

When arriving before the turn, Su Xiao had already felt the temperature around him continue to climb, and Alisa Herbert was even sweating all over her face from the heat.

Goss leaned against the rock wall, standing at the edge of the turn. He probed the long sword in his hand out of the turn to observe the situation behind the turn using the reflection of the long sword.

The reflection of the long sword certainly couldn't be compared with a mirror, but he could vaguely see the situation behind the turn. There was nothing behind the turn, just another stone corridor that wasn't long.

Goss walked past the turn first. He found that the knocking sound didn't come from the end of the turn, but from a door hole on the stone wall on the side.

The knocking sound was close at hand. Goss approached the door hole, while Su Xiao stood at the turn observing the situation, actually mainly observing the changes in Goss's expression.

Goss came to the door hole. This door hole was about two meters high and one meter wide, and the crisp knocking sound continued.

Goss looked into the door hole. After seeing the situation inside, he was clearly stunned, and the knocking sound inside the door hole stopped abruptly.

"It seems... there's no danger."

Goss's expression was very puzzled, as if he saw some unexpected situation. Su Xiao signaled Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Amu to wait in place, and he came to the door hole.

Just as Su Xiao came to the door hole, waves of heat hit his face, which made him subconsciously block his face with his left arm.

Inside the door hole was a space of dozens of square meters, fire-red everywhere inside. Inside was a forging table and a very old furnace. Beside the furnace were some burning materials similar to coal.

A figure about 1.5 meters tall with a sturdy build stood in front of the forging table, and a semi-finished horse-chopping sword was placed on the forging table.

This sturdy figure wore iron armor—no, it should be that his body was embedded with iron armor. His form was no different from a human, except there were no eyeballs at his eyes, but two probes instead. These two probes looked very much like old-fashioned binoculars, covered in rust.

The most peculiar place about the sturdy figure wasn't his eyes, but his head. The top of his brain seemed to have been split into three sections, and then fixed together with rivets + large staples.

"Kuona? (Necrotic language: Human?)"

The sturdy figure spoke. He was illuminated into dark red by the surrounding fire-red. Seeming to realize that it was inappropriate to speak Necrotic language to Su Xiao and others, he first put down the hammer in his hand and grabbed his head with both hands.

Crack.

The sturdy figure pulled off the positions on both sides of his head, shaped like two pieces of cut watermelon. The brain tissue at the fracture was clearly visible. He swapped the positions of the two head parts and pressed hard.

Another crack, and the sturdy figure shook his head.

"Human?"

This time he spoke human language. This series of operations stunned Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, and Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang subconsciously touched its own skull with its dog paw.

Su Xiao's gaze was fixed on the sturdy figure. This guy gave him the feeling of being horrifying. He quietly took out the Apostle's Eye to detect the sturdy figure's attributes.

Seeing the data of Tomb Guardian Reed, Su Xiao's eyes twitched. According to his judgment, he might be able to take three hammer strikes from the other party—no, taking two hammer strikes might lead to death.

As for killing Tomb Guardian Reed, stop joking. Tomb Guardian Reed gave people a feeling of being very sturdy. His entire body looked like it was made of diamond, unbreakable.

After seeing Tomb Guardian Reed, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's body shivered slightly. If Dunk Nick of the Necrotic race were to fight Tomb Guardian Reed, Dunk Nick would be hammered into a pile of minced meat in no more than two hammer strikes.
