Chapter 498 Doubts in My Heart

Wow, wow...

The sound of metal rubbing against the ground came from the passage, and it became tighter and tighter, a little closer to where the three of them were.

"It sounds like footsteps!" Jia Zhengjin hid behind James and Angela, and said softly to them, "Shouldn't the forbidden curse wipe out all the people here? And after hundreds of years, even if there are survivors, they would have died long ago." right?"

"I don't feel any vitality," Angela looked back at him, "I'm afraid it's an undead!"

"Undead?" Jia Zhengjin was taken aback, "You never said that there are undead here!"

"So what?" James looked at him indifferently, "We will protect you until you get the sub-artifact and leave, that's all!"

"That's right!" Jia Zhengjin thought for a second, he was protected by two ninth-level powerhouses, so he was afraid of a ball? Now completely relieved.

Wow, wow...

While they were talking, a humanoid creature wearing a torn animal skin appeared at the intersection under the light. This humanoid creature is dry, as if all the water in its body has evaporated, like a mummy, its hands are bound by heavy iron chains, and its feet are dragging cold iron chains plus a large iron chain weighing at least a hundred catties. ball.

This is an undead through and through, and it can be seen from its appearance that it is some kind of undead creature!

"James!" Angela said softly.

"Leave it to me!" James strode forward, this kind of thing is simply vulnerable to him.

"Hey! Can you form a team first?" Seeing this, Jia Zhengjin hurriedly shouted, "I'll get experience points for killing monsters!"

"Huh?" Hearing this, James and Angela turned their heads at the same time, looking at him in confusion.

All right! These two ninth-order monsters couldn't understand Jia Zhengjin's meaning at all.

"Form a team! You promised to form a team with me!" Jia Zhengjin said again, "Hurry up!"

"Whatever, just promise him first!" Angela said helplessly when she saw James looking at herself with questioning eyes. Although the husband and wife actually didn't understand what he meant.

James nodded in agreement, and Jia Zhengjin immediately showed joy.

It was just the next hint that made him a little confused.

[System] Team member matching failed!

What's the meaning? Jia Zhengjin frowned slightly, unable to figure out the meaning of this sentence. Either the team formation is successful, or the team formation fails, or you simply don't give any hints! What does team member matching failure mean?

Is it because James and Angela are not under their own hands, so they can't match?

Speaking of which, Jia Zhengjin's own subordinates don't even need to be matched, they are on the same team by default. So the experience points are also directly distributed, not so troublesome!

James didn't care that much. When Jia Zhengjin was confused, he had already raised his hand and sent out a lightning ball, which directly turned the undead in front of him into coke.

Sure enough, Jia Zhengjin didn't get any experience points, and felt depressed.

"Hurry up and keep up!" James killed the undead, turned his head and urged, "The burial ground is huge, we must find a place to fight for within a limited time!"

"OK! You lead the way ahead, and I'm right behind!" Jia Zhengjin let James and Angela go first, and ran quickly to grope on the charred corpse.

From the system prompt, I learned that this thing is called [Wandering Prisoner Corpse], and it belongs to some kind of mid-level undead that was resurrected for some unknown reason.

To be honest, this kind of undead's fighting power is not weak. If Jia Zhengjin encounters it alone, it may be difficult to defeat. But in front of James and Angela, there were indeed ants that could be easily crushed to death.

[System] You got the prisoner's shackles!

[System] You got a big iron ball!

[System] You have obtained the stone inscription of Jean!

[System] You got the wine formula!

[System] You got the malt wine formula!

[System] You got the long knife from Bei Kui's guest!

[System] You got the hat of Beikui guest!

[System] You got a wooden wine glass!

[System] You got rotten meat!

The prisoner's shackles, big iron balls, and wooden wine glasses are all useless sundries.

Beikui's long knife and hat are exactly the same as the ones found before, even the attributes are exactly the same!

Of course, the rotten meat is thrown away directly. Although this thing can be used as fertilizer, Jia Zhengjin doesn't need it.

【Wine Recipe】Create delicious wine or grape juice. Brewing recipe: 5 grapes, 1 empty bottle. Brewing premise: wine barrel.

【Wort Wine Recipe】Create delicious malt wine. Brewing recipe: 10 malts, 1 empty bottle. Brewing premise: wine barrel.

The recipes of the two wines are not bad, especially since the production of grapes in Shenglongcheng is not small, and it can't be sold as fruit alone, and many of them have been destroyed in the freezer, which is a pity.

Although some villagers tried to brew various fruit wines with the old method, they couldn't make really mellow wine. With this recipe, it's so easy!

What bothered and surprised Jia Zhengjin the most was the second stone with words engraved on it.

[Jean's stone inscriptions] Damn Dan Niu locked me beside the darkness!

These words seem a bit awkward, what do you mean by being locked in the darkness? Who is Daniel? Dark, dark! The stone just now also mentioned darkness. How do fire and lightning merge into darkness? How could it be possible to lock people in the darkness?

Is this a special metaphor, or is Darkness a personal name?

Apart from this, Jia Zhengjin couldn't think of any other possibility.

Flame, Thunder, Darkness, Danu... Ai Ji and Jean should be the names of the prisoners who wrote the text, so what is the special connection between the first four words? It shouldn't be a simple, meaningless connection, right?

Just as Jia Zhengjin was walking and thinking, James killed another undead.

He hurried over to grope for the undead, and sure enough, he got some messy and useless sundries, as well as a piece of [Auer's stone inscription].

[Auer's stone inscriptions]: Daniel can't protect us!

Daniel? Protect? Jia Zhengjin stopped suddenly, staring at the stone with text in the virtual backpack in a daze.

"Why didn't you leave all of a sudden?" Angela turned her head and said, "Hurry up!"

Daniel, could it be that the human that James and Angela said scares the dragon? Daniel can't protect us? Does this sentence mean that the duty of the human named Daniel was to protect these prisoners?

Then there is a contradiction!

Jia Zhengjin frowned slightly. Because what James said just now, it was Daniel who transferred the forbidden spell of the dragon to the underground palace, which led to the destruction of everyone!

But according to the prisoner's written records, since Daniel wanted to protect them, why did he deliberately move the curse underground? Why didn't he just transfer the curse to the air, or the vast ocean? Wouldn't everyone be able to survive this way?

Why did he do this? What reason does he have to do this?

In other words, the person who recorded these words made a typo, which changed the meaning of the whole sentence?

or……

He looked up at James and Angela, and a trace of doubt slowly emerged in his heart.

"What's the matter? Follow up!" Angela looked at him suspiciously, "What are you dawdling for?"

Jia Zhengjin immediately showed a smile on his face: "Sorry! I suddenly had some strange thoughts in my head, so I was in a trance!"

"Hurry up and take your things and leave. We don't care how long you want to be in a trance!" Angela shook her head and said, "Follow closely, okay?"

"OK!"
