Chris sneaked into a courtyard.
If the dragon wasn't mistaken, this should be the place.
He reached out to touch the door, but it was locked, so he simply climbed over the wall and went inside.
They searched every nook and cranny of the yard but found nothing unusual.
Could it be that the dragon made a mistake?
The idea popped into his head, but he felt it was unlikely.
After observing carefully once more, his gaze finally settled on a well.
It looks ordinary, and there's no heavy object used to suppress it. It looks like just an ordinary well. But if there's any place in the yard where someone could tamper with something, it's this well.
Instead of rushing in, he went out of the courtyard, grabbed a black dog, and threw it into the well.
Use a burst of fighting spirit to pull the dog to prevent it from falling to its death.
After a moment, I felt the dog hit the bottom and heard an angry bark.
Woof woof woof!
Chris felt slightly relieved and jumped down as well.
As soon as he landed, the black dog bit his calf.
Chris kicked the black dog aside, looked around, and quickly found the hidden compartment. He gently touched it, and a door appeared and slowly opened.
It was pitch black behind the door, so Chris took out a luminous pearl to provide light.
Then he noticed that there were circular inlays on both sides of the passage, where something seemed to have been inlaid before.
In fact, some luminous pearls were once inlaid here, but they were removed after the black dragon came once.
Chris had no idea that the black dragon had ever been there. He just found it strange that there were places with luminous pearls embedded in them, so why weren't some luminous pearls placed there for lighting? Had this place become so poor?
He didn't understand and kept walking forward, and perhaps because there were no other passages, the black dog followed behind him with its tail between its legs.
The man and his dog walked forward for a while.
The passage gradually widened until it became a room. An old man was hanging on a wall, his wrists, ankles, and neck bound by iron chains that shimmered with an eerie light, imprisoning the fighting spirit within him.
Chris's entrance startled the old man, who opened his eyes and was somewhat surprised to see a man and a dog. But then a glint of light flashed in his eyes.
Who are you?
Chris paused for a moment, then said, "My name is Long Dazhuang. I was sent by Lily Territory to rescue you!"
As soon as he spoke, the old man was extremely excited: "I knew the lord wouldn't abandon me, he would definitely find a way to send someone to rescue me! Quick, help me unlock the chains, I want to go out and kill that rebellious son!"
The old man's voice was deep and resonant. Even though his fighting spirit was suppressed, it still carried a faint sound of wind and thunder, suggesting his previous power.
Chris narrowed his eyes. He was cautious because it had been too easy to walk from the entrance of the yard all the way here.
Although the old city lord was imprisoned in a very ordinary courtyard without any external arrangements, it would be difficult for others to discover it.
However, some precautions should also be taken into account in this secret room underground.
To prevent anyone from accidentally wandering into this place.
Chris took out a pebble and threw it forward. It rolled down to the old man's feet without causing any change.
Instead of feeling relieved, Chris frowned, and the old man seemed to sense something and shut his mouth.
Given the character of my unfilial son, there must be some hidden trick up his sleeve.
The old man saw that the boy looked at him, then at the black dog following behind him, and the black dog was also looking at him.
Its fur was filthy; it was a stray dog.
Chris felt it was unfair and unbecoming of a knight to send such an innocent black dog ahead to scout the way.
He thought of what the black dragon had done, hesitated for a moment, and then placed his arm in front of the black dog.
The black dog looked at the fair, white arm in front of it and thought that this human was really polite. It would be a disservice not to bite the human.
Click!
As the black dog's teeth landed on his wrist
Chris's face lit up with a smile: "You stupid dog, how dare you bite me!"
He grabbed the black dog by the scruff of its neck and threw it forward, heading towards the old man.
The old man was speechless for a moment as he watched the young man's outrageous antics.
But the next moment, he saw the black dog barking and flying toward him.
But in mid-air, it seemed to have bumped into a layer of light, and the whole dog lay on top of it.
Then, beams of light appeared, followed by crackling lightning, as if finding an outlet, and surged into the black dog's body.
As lightning crackled across its body, the black dog's fur stood on end and turned charred black. It collapsed to the ground, exhaling several breaths of black smoke, but it didn't seem to be dead.
This dog is quite unusual, Chris thought with a hint of surprise, but he didn't pay it any mind. Instead, he looked at the lightning shield in front of him.
It turned out to be a rare lightning-based magic array. Its power wasn't particularly great, but it would be difficult to break through in a short time without causing a major disturbance.
If a major commotion is caused, the new city lord's subordinates will arrive quickly. His cultivation level has not yet reached the peak of Glory, and he will find it difficult to deal with a group of experts of the same level.
Headache!
The tasks that the dragon assigned him were indeed not easy to handle.
He looked at the old man helplessly: "Do you have any ideas?"
The old city lord in front of me is knowledgeable and experienced; he should have some solutions.
But the old city lord only frowned slightly and thought for a while before offering a few methods: "I don't have any good methods either. Either use your profound magic array skills to break it directly, or exhaust the magic array's energy, or break it by force, or find the core of the array."
There were many options, but only the second and last ones were truly feasible: exhausting the magic circle's energy. Chris estimated that, with his abilities, it would take at least a day, and finding the circle's core...
This method might also work!
However, it requires constantly triggering the formation to observe it.
Chris looked at the black dog and stretched out his wrist, but the black dog looked at him with an expression as if he were an idiot and stretched out its paw as well.
Chris was taken aback. This dog was really a genius. However, he smiled slightly. Having followed that dragon for a long time, he had accumulated a lot of bad ideas. He grabbed the dog's paw, gave it a hard shake, and threw the dog directly onto the array light screen.
The lightning crackled again, and Chris quickly took the opportunity to observe.
Soon, the black dog fell down, and the whole dog was almost ruined.
But Chris was not satisfied because he had not yet observed the core position.
They threw the black dog up twice more, and finally found the core.
He stretched out his fist and punched out, creating a crack in the array. Taking advantage of the moment, he reached out and took out a high-level lightning magic crystal buried in the ground.
As the crystal was taken out, the light of the array gradually dimmed and disappeared completely.
Chris stepped forward and used his knife to cut the iron chains binding the old man, freeing him. The old man's surging battle qi erupted within him, its terrifying aura reaching the eighth level of the Brilliant Realm.
This was a magnificent, high-level display, now unleashing a roar that shook the entire city.
"You unfilial son, I'm going to kill you!"
