According to the leader of the Lizard Demons, Lituy, they are the chosen ones mentioned in the prophecy. However, everyone expressed that they had no way to solve the situation here, because the information they had was not more than that of the Lizard Demons, and they were not as familiar with this area as the Lizard Demons were.
But just after Sophia explained, Lituy shook his head.
"The chosen ones mentioned in the prophecy are not a group of people, but one person. However, the more specific information is unknown. The Great Seer said that the chosen ones are too mysterious to be understood, and he cannot see their true identity. But it is certain that one of you is the chosen one."
Lituy said with conviction.
The crowd looked at each other, and eventually all their eyes fell on Green. However, Green did not pay attention to the leader of the Lizard Demons' words. Instead, he was investigating the direction of the line and did not notice the reaction of the crowd.
"Are you the leader?" Lituy asked Green, breaking the silence.
Green immediately denied Lituy's assumption.
"She is the leader. Sophia. I am a member of the team."
"Oh, I see."
Lituy looked at Sophia next to him and nodded thoughtfully.
Actually, he was curious why everyone had looked at Green earlier, making him mistakenly think that Green was the leader of this group. After all, the leader is often the strongest, and the probability of being the chosen one would be higher as well.
"Never mind, let's just believe in the prophecy of the Great Seer."
Lituy silently shook his head in his heart and then greeted the crowd to welcome Green and the others.
It was the first time for Green and the others to taste the food prepared by the Warcraft, and the appearance was acceptable. However, even though Lituy was friendly, the crowd only dared to eat after testing for poison.
During the meal, the group explained in detail the purpose of this operation to Lituy.
After listening, Lituy pondered for a moment and then called a Lizard Demon soldier by the door, saying, "Soldier, how is the situation with the secret treasure?"
"There are no problems at the moment. We can access it anytime."
"Okay, let's go and take a look later."
The conversation between the two naturally aroused the curiosity of the crowd. Lituy wasn't keeping them in suspense and explained immediately.
"The Largslang stone you mentioned is actually the treasure of our clan. Our Lizard Demon clan has been guarding the 'Largslang stone' deep underground for thousands of years."
"Thousands of years?!"
Not only Sophia was shocked, but Green was also astonished. The Largslang stone, buried for thousands of years, was just discovered now. Wouldn't there be more stones like this all over the world? And initially, Rom said that the Largslang stone seemed to be a meteorite that fell from the sky.
Although they were puzzled, Green didn't rush to ask questions and continued listening to Lituy's explanation.
"That's right, it has been thousands of years. Those are stones that emit light and are constantly growing. However, recently, there have been some abnormalities with a particular stone. We also suspect that this stone may be the real culprit behind the Warcraft's abnormal behavior, but there is very little information about that stone, and we have no idea where to start researching."
"Abnormalities? What kind of abnormalities?"
"Well... it just feels brighter than before?"
After listening to Lituy's description, the group looked at each other, all wearing expressions that said they didn't know what was going on.
Soon, the group finished their meal and, led by Lituy, entered a hidden passage.
Since the route was indeed without any problems, Green did not remind the others about anything along the way. He only asked a few questions out of curiosity and Lituy's answers were concise.
"In the past, we would never allow outsiders to see our clan's treasure, but the situation is completely different now. Besides, we don't know much about the clan's treasure, we only know that it is something our ancestors entrusted us to guard. If it can be helpful to you and can save our people, then it's even better."
Apart from that, Green didn't ask any more questions.
Although Green himself did not make any statement, the gaze of the crowd occasionally fell on him. Green noticed this, but when asked, the others shook their heads indicating it was nothing.
Green did not pay much attention to it, but in fact, everyone had already regarded Green as the chosen one in Logut's mouth.
Before long, they crossed this dark tunnel and came to a vast underground space.
Compared to the previous place, this space was filled with fluorescent stones and many weeds emitting a faint glow.
Everyone could clearly feel that the air here was filled with strong magic, just breathing it was enjoyable.
After moving forward for a while, Logut signaled everyone to stop and then said something unexpected.
"All the fluorescent stones you can see in this space are the Larggrand stones you mentioned, and they are also the treasure guarded by our clan."
Sophia was stunned after hearing Logut's description.
The scene was completely different from what she had imagined. She thought the Larggrand stone that could be found would be like the first time, a meteorite-like rock, but now as she carefully observed the ground and walls around her, she found that they were all Larggrand stones.
And judging from the size of this space, the quality of these stones far exceeded her expectations.
"All of these... are they all?"
"That's right."
Looking at the amount of Larggrand stones that far exceeded her expectations, Sophia instantly realized how trashy her detector invention was. It could barely detect so many Larggrand stones gathered together, but if it was the same amount as the last time, it wouldn't be detectable at all.
Sophia couldn't believe it and approached to observe carefully. However, the texture and appearance of these stones were exactly the same as the Larggrand stones she had discovered before.
Moreover, they were even better than what she had found earlier.
But soon Sophia noticed something strange. If all of these were Larggrand stones, then what was the huge round stone in the middle?
"You mean this giant round stone? It seems to have appeared recently, but it looks similar to the surrounding stones, so I didn't pay much attention to it."
Logut answered Sophia's question like this.
In addition to the fluorescent stones scattered around, there was also a huge object in the center that looked like an egg.
This object was mostly black in color, with a smooth surface, resembling some kind of extremely high-quality material.
Green also noticed this egg. He approached and touched it a few times. It felt cold, but there was nothing particularly noteworthy about it.
Using perception to detect the internal structure, he couldn't find anything unusual, only sensing pure energy contained inside.
Just when Sophia and the others wanted to ask Logut if they could take some of the stones, a panicked voice suddenly came from outside.
"Lord Logut, other monsters have invaded our territory!"
"What?!"
Not long ago, in the outside world.
Several creatures with minotaur bodies were floating in the air in this area without any external force, with a ferocious smile on their faces.
They were one of the members of the Skeleton Demon King's followers, the minotaur.
"This is the last native habitat. If we destroy the creatures here as well, the rest of the work will be much easier, hahaha!"
"Moreover, my intuition tells me that the Heart of the Universe is beneath us."
"Is that so? If that's the case, then it's great!"
Below, countless irrational monsters invaded this area, and a large number of ice elemental monsters died in the battle. In a short time, most of the monsters died here.
The lizardman guards immediately launched a counterattack with the nearby monsters, but faced with these mindless creatures, they had no room to resist.
Especially since lizardman's combat power was not very strong.
Watching the monsters fighting below, the minotaurs showed a satisfied smile. But at this moment, they suddenly noticed a petite figure passing through their field of vision.
"It's Elsa."
"Elsa? Is she still alive?"
"Well, not only is she alive, but she also sensed the presence of the Heart of the Universe just like us."
"In that case, we can only..."
The minotaurs glanced at each other and then revealed sinister smiles.
In the underground space at this moment, everyone's faces changed after hearing the soldier's report. They didn't expect to be fighting the demons so soon, and it seemed that the numbers were not small.
"What should we do? Should we help them?"
"It's really a bit guilty if we don't help after taking other people's things. Besides, those demons will eventually attack us too, right?"
"You're right. I think it's better to listen to Green's opinion."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's gaze turned to Green. However, Green didn't respond to their question but said something that puzzled them.
"They're here."
"They're here... Who's here?"
Just as everyone was confused, there was a sudden vibration from above the stone surface. Then, there was a loud explosion, and the stones above were directly blown apart, raising a cloud of dust.
At the same time, a dark figure shot down from above and flew towards Green.
Green vaguely felt that the flying object was somewhat familiar. As the rapidly moving object approached, Green's face changed, and he immediately reached out and caught the unidentified object.
The others also noticed the presence of the object and looked towards Green. However, when they saw what Green received, everyone was stunned.
"A person?"
"A girl?"
"Appearing in a place like this?"
At this moment, several tall figures descended from the broken hole above.
After seeing the appearance of the other party, the astonishment in everyone's eyes deepened.
"A minotaur...with a human body?"
"I've never seen this kind of demi-human before..."
The eyes of several minotaur demons shimmered with a sinister red light. After landing, they directly ignored the people around them and focused their gaze on the girl in Green's hands.
"Saloius's servant - Elsa. It was our mistake that you managed to escape from our hands before, but this time, you won't have the same chance!"
Indeed, what hit Green was not some suspicious object, but Saloius's granddaughter, Elsa.
However, just as the minotaur demons were about to ignore Green's actions towards Elsa and make their move, they suddenly noticed a large round stone resembling an egg on the side. The expression on their faces suddenly became delighted.
"We found it! The Heart of the Universe!"
