Chapter 176 Underground Palace

Suddenly the space became unstable, and the scenery kept switching between virtuality and reality. Kane hugged Dede tightly, and Ren used the barrier of darkness to protect the three of them.

"Miss, this place is about to disappear. It seems that the guardian beast Resado is no longer here." Ren said in the barrier.

"What will happen if this space disappears?" Dede was a little worried.

"It should return to the original dimension of this world, right?" Renn thought for a while and said, "Didn't Tuscon say that after passing the test of the trial ground, you will go to the place where the Demon Slayer's ring is?

?Presumably after this space disappears, we will find the Demon Slayer’s ring, right?”

"Don't be afraid, miss, I'm here." Kane held Dede's hand tightly.

Dede nodded, feeling inexplicably relieved.

After some spatial overlapping, the three of them found themselves in a desert, with the blazing sun baking the earth and no shade. Occasionally, a few small lizards crawled out of the sand holes and quickly crawled away.

Dede carefully identified it and found that this was the location of the Demon Slayer's ring that Old Tucson had passed into her mind. Pointing to a huge cactus not far ahead, she said: "This is it! Go in this direction.

There is an oasis not far away! The Demon Slayer’s ring is right there!”

"Before that..." Kane pulled Dede, and a brand new set of clothes appeared in his hands, "How can it be that Miss is looking so embarrassed? Hurry up and change into new clothes."

Sure enough, with Kane here, food, clothing, housing and transportation are no problem!

Dede smiled and hugged Kane tightly, and Ren quickly turned around.

"Miss, you have grown taller." Kane let her hold you and gently said in Dede's ear, "You can reach my chin now."

"Then this dress..." De De looked down and looked a little unsure whether it would fit.

"Don't worry, I've prepared sizes for you, from girls to adults." Kane caressed Dede's hair lovingly and kissed her forehead gently.

After changing clothes and being carefully groomed by Kane, Dede once again returned to her cute little lolita appearance. Because she applied the skin care cream specially made by the Adventurer Guild of Moshatila, she did not wear windproof clothing——

Anyway, with Kane here, you don't have to worry about any clothes.

"It's great to have Kane here..." Dede held Kane's hand, put it on her face and rubbed it. The long-lost touch, long-lost taste, and long-lost feeling, her Kane was really back!

"Sorry, I didn't take good care of her." Renne lowered his head slightly and said to Kane apologetically.

"No, thank you for taking care of Miss during my absence." Kane shook his head, "Thank you for taking timely action at that time."

"What's the word "thank you" between you and me?" Renn said with a wry smile.

"Okay, Ren and Kane, you two are different. Ren has also taught me a lot. With you two by my side, I feel very relieved!" Dede said to the two of them with a smile.

"Now, we can move forward." Kane looked at Dede fondly, who nodded and pulled him towards the cactus.

"There is always a familiar feeling here." Ren followed behind Dede and Kane and whispered as he walked.

"What, has Ren been here before?" Dede turned around and asked.

"I'm not sure, but this feeling is very strong." Ren said, shaking his head.

"Perhaps you have been here sometime." Kane smiled and pulled Dede forward.

"Ah, that's right there! I remember it was right after passing the oasis!" Dede excitedly pointed to the oasis road not far ahead.

"Then come over quickly." Kane held Dede's little hand.

"Ah, that's right! Speaking of walking fast in the desert...how could I have forgotten it!" Dede slapped his forehead and took out the mechanical chocobo from the Endless Ring. "This guy is used as a transportation tool.

It couldn't be better! You two should turn into furballs and come up!"

"...But I want to hold Miss's hand tightly." Kane looked aggrieved.

"...I don't like to be cute." Ren's voice was cold.

...These two guys!

"If Miss is tired from walking, I can be used as a means of transportation." After Kane said this, he hugged the princess, and Dede was taken into his arms.

"The holy beast can move freely in the desert, and if Miss needs it, I can appropriately release the pressure of the holy beast to make it difficult for the sand beast to approach us," Ren said.

"...No matter what, it's up to you..." De De lowered his head feebly.

Kane hugged Dede lovingly while walking quickly, while Ren was responsible for holding a parasol for her - Kane's endless ring really has everything.

Soon after entering the oasis, looking at the vibrant scene here, Ren suddenly realized: "So this is it!"

"Why, did Ren remember where this is?" Dede looked at him in surprise.

"This... is the ancient battlefield thousands of years ago... the place where the Holy Beast Legion... faced off against the Demon King..." Renn's voice was slightly trembling.

Dede leaned into Kane's arms, and both of them were silent. Although they had not witnessed that battle with their own eyes, they could already foresee how tragic it would be from Ren's description.

"At that time, I led 90% of the holy beasts in this world to come here. We, who were originally invincible, suffered heavy losses from the devil... I saw them disappear in front of me, turned into the purest energy in this world, and returned.

The earth... No wonder Resado would be willing to stay here for thousands of years... Here, there are his companions and... lovers!" Looking at the plants and trees here, Ren closed his eyes and felt the familiar feeling.

breath.

They are both holy beasts, so the ones that disappeared here are not the companions of Ren and Kane? Dede tightly grasped the clothes on Kane's chest and leaned into his arms. Even without going through the contract, she could feel it.

, the sorrow and anger in the hearts of two people.

"Back then, this was not like this." Ren walked in the oasis, touching every plant and tree here, feeling their breath. "Back then, this was a fertile plain, rich and beautiful. Due to the invasion of the demons,

, occupied most of the resources, and the native beasts also began to absorb the power of evil and become demons. I was ordered to lead the Holy Beast Legion to snipe, and just as we were passing through and killing the generals, the Demon King suddenly appeared. Then, I lost them forever...

…So it turns out that their power has turned this place into this?"

"Ren, they are actually... always here..." Dede got down from Kane's arms and walked slowly to Ren, "You said that after the death of the holy beast, the body will turn into the most beautiful thing in the world.

Pure magical elements return to the earth. Although your companions are no longer physically present, they exist in every corner of the world. They have not really left, right? They have always protected the world in their own way. I

I will also do my best to drive the demons completely out of the Nagrath continent and restore the original peace of this land."

"Miss, you are right. They have always been here..." Renn turned his face and looked at Dede, with light spots of different colors gathering in his hands. "You see, these are the power of the holy beasts, the power of this world."

The origin of magic.”

"Yes, Renn, a thousand years ago, your companions sacrificed themselves, but their power made this land that was once poisoned by the demons become vibrant again. I have to sigh at the power of life!" Dede

Smiling, he said, "Master Elshara told me that death and rebirth always go hand in hand, right?"

"Yes, Miss." Ren lowered his eyes and raised the corners of his lips in a slight arc, "The world is constantly alternating and evolving between life and death."

"Let's move on. There is a stone monument in the oasis, which is a mechanism. After entering, there is an underground palace, where the demon slayer's ring is." Dide nodded.

The three of them continued deep into the oasis, which was already the territory of the Northen Kingdom. Due to the sparse population, there were basically no desert natives, and only a few sporadic adventurers could be seen. There were some low-level monsters in the oasis, and some adventurers

Players will form a team and come here to do tasks or obtain Warcraft products.

From the moment she felt someone, Dede signaled Kane and Renn to turn into furballs. She just came here to quietly enter the underground palace, wandering around here with two top-notch beauties, obviously not too low-key. Therefore, although these two extremely

Unwilling to do so, they turned into two balls of fur. One was held on the head by Dede, and the other got into her arms.

Riding on the mechanical chocobo, Dede quickly traveled through the oasis. Although some adventurers also cast curious glances at her, no one paid too much attention to it. After all, it would be very dangerous to be distracted when fighting monsters.

It's easy to suffer losses.

Soon after arriving at the stone tablet at the entrance to the underground palace, Dede put away the chocobo and pressed the button. After a brief rumbling sound, a secret passage appeared.

Dede was about to walk down when he suddenly heard a man's voice behind him: "Girl, don't go down!"

"What?" Dede looked back at him. He was a tall young man with slightly dark skin, about 20 years old. Judging from his clothes, he should be an adventurer from the Northen Kingdom. Behind him were two men and one woman, with ordinary skin color and clothing.

, four people were standing behind her, they looked like adventurers no more than level 15.

The young man blushed when Dede looked at him like this. He paused and explained: "This is a forbidden area of ​​the Northen Kingdom. Legend has it that there are terrible monsters inside. Many adventurers wanted to go inside to find out but never came back. Over time, the adventurers

The guild will no longer issue exploration missions here."

"Oh. I'm not going to explore, I'm just going to get something." Dede stopped looking at them and walked inside without looking back.

"Wait a minute!" the young man stopped her, "Looking at your appearance, you don't seem to be from the Northen Kingdom, right? What's the purpose of coming here?"

"It has nothing to do with you." Dede had no intention of stopping and just kept moving forward.

"You woman! Shaman is asking you something, don't you understand?" said the woman behind the young man.

"I told you that it has nothing to do with you. Since there are terrible monsters living here, you should leave as soon as possible." Dede had already taken several steps, but those few people followed him.

"Girl, we don't mean anything else. It's just that this is not the place for a little girl like you." Shaman took a few steps closer and said.

Dede stopped, turned around, and looked at them displeased: "Sorry, I don't have time to waste in a place like this. If you insist on following me, don't blame me for being rude!"

"Little girl, I advise you not to be ignorant. There are four of us, and you only have one. Do you think you can beat us?" behind Shaman, a man with an afro said.

"Strength has nothing to do with the number of people." Dede said coldly, and just as he was about to drive them away, the passage suddenly began to vibrate.

"Oops, maybe some mechanism has been triggered, let's get out quickly!" Shaman said to everyone, and the four of them began to run outside.

Dede ignored them, turned around and walked inside.

"Girl, come out with us!" Seeing that De De did not follow, Shaman turned around and ran back, holding De De's arm.

"Let go!" Dede warned him.

"There may be danger here, come with me quickly!" Shaman not only did not let go, but said sincerely.

"Hey, boy, let go of your hands!" The two fur balls in Dede's arms and head threatened dissatisfiedly, but due to Dede's order, they could not take action - there was no way, and he had recovered more strength.
