Chapter 688 Duke Enkins
After receiving Lin Tian's reply, "Atina" was stunned for a moment, and then quickly extended her hand to Lin Tian.
call! ! ! !
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew up, and a strange energy enveloped his body before quickly leaving. In the process, the unfamiliar power that had been clinging to him was also stripped away. Freed from the burden, Lin Tian felt refreshed and invigorated.
However, Lin Tian's furrowed brows did not relax; instead, his expression became even more wary, and his body passively assumed a defensive stance...
"Don't be nervous, I pose no threat to you right now."
"I know you have many questions. Come with me, and I'll answer them for you slowly..."
The man opposite Lin Tian didn't seem to have any intention of fighting him.
"Walk?"
"Where?"
Even so, Lin Tian did not let his guard down.
"My laboratory."
..........
Phew! ! !
With a powerful slash, the giant toothed worm was instantly split in two, killed cruelly before it could even let out a wail.
"Continue the cleanup!!"
After shaking the black blood off his knife, the Black Hand Taoist twisted his arm and then ordered the insect demons behind him to sweep away all the toothed insects near the forbidden area.
After Lin Tian left this place, a huge change occurred. Various tooth-toothed insects fought over the remnants of Merus, resulting in a large-scale battle.
Those who survived this battle were mostly powerful tooth worms. After devouring the remnants, their strength was further enhanced, transforming them into beings that the original Sweethearts could not have imagined.
But no matter how strong it is, it can't be stronger than the previous Merust. With the Black Hand Taoist in charge, Lin Tian can completely entrust these things to his subordinates.
He and "Atina" arrived at the center of this forbidden area, where the black mud had been completely removed, revealing the dark stone slabs.
"This is the entrance."
"Atina" walked to a specially marked location, then half-squatted down and gently placed her hand in the center of the mark.
call! ! !
A strange gust of wind blew again, accompanied by a tremor in the ground. A blinding light emanated from the marked location. Lin Tian, having taken a step back beforehand, was not enveloped by the light, but it still forced him to squint.
buzzing~
As a series of buzzing sounds rang out, the light began to fade gradually. When Lin Tian looked over again, "Atina" was already standing at the edge of a cave entrance, gazing deeply downwards.
"Come with me."
"Atina" did not explain the previous situation, but after informing the others, she jumped down first.
Lin Tian only pondered this for a moment before quickly following. He had many ways to protect himself and wasn't afraid of any ambushes. Most importantly, he already had a certain guess...
Boom! ! !
The two landed on the ground one after the other without any dramatic falls. The moment they landed, Lin Tian quickly observed his surroundings.
The cave was pitch black, so dark you couldn't see your hand in front of your face. Just as Lin Tian was wondering what the middle of the cave was like, Atina, who was standing in front of him, suddenly snapped her fingers.
Snapped!
call! ! ! !
With a soft sound, a gust of wind blew by, and a large number of fires lit up on both sides. Under the illumination of the fires, a straight and wide passage quickly appeared in front of Lin Tian.
keep going?
Lin Tian looked at "Atina," and she seemed to have anticipated his thoughts, nodding before walking towards the passage ahead of him.
Lin Tian followed slowly, and what followed was a silent walk.
The passage was long, and it would take a while to walk through if one wasn't in a hurry. During this time, both sides remained silent, seemingly neither intending to speak.
Just as they were about to reach the end, Lin Tian suddenly spoke tentatively, asking:
"You are... Duke Enkins?"
Upon hearing this, "Atina," who was walking in front, suddenly stopped and turned back to look at him with a surprised expression.
“That’s right, I am Duke Enkins.”
Instead of continuing to hide their identity as before, the other party readily admitted it.
"Aren't you surprised that I know your name?"
Seeing Duke Enkins's nonchalant expression, Lin Tian was the one who felt strange this time.
"It was a bit of a surprise, but not entirely unexpected."
“Since you were able to find the relics I placed in the outside world and overcome the many obstacles I set up to learn the name Duke Enkins, you must be a smart, kind and brave person.”
"Under these circumstances, it's not too surprising that they were able to deduce my identity through a series of clues."
Relics, checkpoints, clues?
Upon hearing these words, Lin Tian's face, hidden behind the mask, twitched, revealing a strange sense of embarrassment.
He didn't find any relics or challenges, and he didn't get the name Duke Enkins from those things. He only knew the name because of the information displayed in the system task.
Perhaps Duke Enkins did set up certain tasks and challenges in the outside world so that future generations on the continent could find this place, but Lin Tian did not come here in this way.
If the tasks and clues left by Duke Enkins were a straight line, then Lin Tian had clearly taken a detour and a shortcut. And now the other party seems unaware of this, and subconsciously believes that he is following his clues.
"I see."
Lin Tian did not tell Duke Enkins the truth. It was better to let the other party continue to misunderstand, saving him the time of explanation.
During their conversation, the two arrived in front of a huge stone gate. Duke Enkins used the same fingerprint unlocking method as before to unlock this closed stone gate.
Of course, although that's how it appears on the surface, the reality might not be so. After all, when he opened the door, Lin Tian could clearly see his lips moving slightly up and down, as if he were chanting some kind of spell.
Boom! ! !
This time, there was no blinding light when the door opened. Accompanied by a series of loud noises, the huge stone door slowly opened, revealing a special secret chamber to the two of them.
