Chapter 105 A Day Trip to the Dungeon
Fortunately, as long as they have enough to attract the attention of those bigwigs, they can easily complete their mission this time.
Moreover, the moment it arrived, it had already checked all the information on this plane, and it immediately set its sights on the Time Stone.
Although the Time Stone's energy is running low, anything that can turn back time is an invaluable treasure.
Therefore, it is certain that this Time Stone will definitely attract the attention of those powerful figures. If they help out, the mission can be completed.
Thinking about it this way, it instantly became excited again and said to Gu Xinyan and the others:
[Host, the big bosses generally don't accept simple tasks, which is why these urgent tasks fall to us smaller systems.]
But don't worry, host, with the Time Stone, we'll definitely be able to complete this mission. And once we level up, we'll be able to do what those top-tier commanders do.
We can accept these urgent tasks if we want, and we can refuse if we don't. Anyway, if those smaller systems can't complete the tasks, they'll naturally come to us for help, hehe!
Hearing Xiaobai's words, Gu Xinyan and the other three were speechless. It turned out that the reason this urgent mission was assigned to them was because the big shots wouldn't take it.
However, although they were speechless, they didn't dwell on it too much. After all, their current level was indeed not high, and their strength was indeed weak. They certainly couldn't compare to those powerful leaders.
But I believe that they will definitely be able to reach that position in the future. It is this Time Stone. According to what Xiaobai just said, the reason why this island has not sunk yet is because the priest is using the Time Stone to turn back time.
Although I was shocked, I was relieved when I thought about where I was, since even later generations didn't have many records about the country of Atlantis.
Most of what's recorded is speculation, so it's not surprising that they knew they used the Time Stone to protect their home from sinking.
"Alright, stop being so cocky. You're still just a level two minor leader. It's too early to think about those things. Hurry up and find out where this high priest is."
Seeing Xiaobai's lewd expression, Gu Xinyan couldn't help but pour cold water on it.
After all, time is of the essence; they need to complete this task within three days. If they fail to do so, they will have no choice but to leave in disgrace.
Little White, who had just been splashed with cold water, snapped out of her reverie and quickly replied.
"Yes, host. The priest is currently inside the temple, but it's quite far from here. We wouldn't have enough time to walk there."
The area we are currently in falls under the jurisdiction of Itonia, and the biannual sacrificial ceremony is the day after tomorrow, a prayer for the protection of the sea god.
We can hitch a ride to the temple together, but you need to hurry, hosts. They're setting off this afternoon. If we miss it, we'll have to find another way.
Hearing Xiaobai's words, Gu Xinyan couldn't help but roll her eyes at it. This thing didn't even know to teleport them directly to the vicinity of the temple when it teleported. Now, walking there is definitely not an option.
They figured the entire island would sink before they even reached the temple, and they'd have to slink away. So they should see if they could hitch a ride together.
The idea was nice, but what they didn't expect was that as soon as they arrived at the place and expressed their thoughts, they were arrested as foreigners.
Of course, they didn't even get to see Itonia, let alone go to the temple with her; she's probably already far away by now.
Their protective shield would only be activated when they encountered danger, but these people did not harbor any ill will towards them. They were only afraid that the few of them would disturb their monarch, so they captured them.
In the dimly lit cell, the four men sat in a row, speechless for a moment, probably because they hadn't expected things to turn out this way.
"Speak quickly, who are you? What is your purpose in wanting to go to the temple?"
The armored soldier at the cell door asked again, somewhat blankly.
God knows how many times he had asked this question, but these people were like rocks in a stinking ditch, both smelly and hard, insisting that they were there to help them.
Ha! They have a high priest, why would they need these people's help? These people must have ulterior motives and are deliberately coming to cause trouble.
He had to keep a close eye on these people and make sure nothing went wrong during the sacrificial ceremony the day after tomorrow.
Hearing the same question again, Gu Xinyan and the other three were already reluctant to answer, after all, this person was really too stubborn.
She wouldn't listen to anything we said, she had her own ideas, and she kept asking us questions until our ears were ringing.
Gu Xinyan sighed helplessly, rubbed her slightly dizzy temples, and said in as calm a tone as possible:
“You wouldn’t believe me even if I told you. We really are here to help you. If you don’t let us leave soon, it might be too late.”
“Exactly, I was wondering why you guys are so stubborn, you wouldn’t believe me even after I told you.” Li Chendong echoed, speechless.
Upon hearing this, the soldier outside frowned, clearly still not believing it. He thought these men were trying to trick him. However, seeing that he couldn't get any information out of them, he simply snorted and turned to leave.
The four of them were left looking at each other in bewilderment, and it was Li Chendong who broke the silence first.
"What do we do now? Force our way out?"
"It's too late to force our way out. If we walk to the temple, it'll probably be too late by then," Gu Xinya said helplessly, rolling her eyes.
After these words, the dungeon fell into a brief silence again. Gu Xinyan thought for a while, but still couldn't come up with a good solution.
Just as she was racking her brains, she heard Lu Yunting's voice.
"I remember back in interstellar times, the royal family gifted us spaceships! In a bit, take out the laser gun and blast a hole in this dungeon wall!"
"We'll set off in the aircraft, but first, take it out so we can take a look at it," Lu Yunting said after a moment's thought.
