After fiddling with it for so long, they were still at their wit's end. Li Mo began to think about the remaining knockout powder on Angela.
He had been paying attention to Angela for a long time. In this dragon-slaying squad, she was the kindest and most easily affected by emotions. In the Saka continent, the strong were the most respected, as a mage, she was the most powerful of the five.
But so what if she was powerful? Seeing that even the steel armor could not restrain her proud breasts, Li Mo thought that she was just a big-breasted and brainless girl.
As long as he put in a little effort, she would take the bait and said everything she knew.
Thinking of this, he moved closer to Angela, he said softly, "Miss Angela, I have never been outside the Dragon Palace. You said that those knockout drugs were made by the elves. You are so powerful to mingle with the elves."
After hearing that, Angela put on a proud face. She puffed out her chest and said, "Of course! On this continent, the humans are not the only ones who have a problem with the dragons. The other races have long been ready to make a move."
"However, we can not openly collude with the other races, so sometimes we will get drugs or weapons from other races through the black market."
Li Mo nodded and continued, "Then, you didn't just bring knockout drugs into the Dragon Cave, right? Didn't you bring some stronger drugs?"
Angela naively thought that Li Mo was worried about their safety, so she took out a few glass bottles from her bag without thinking too much.
"To be honest, not many people are sure about the true strength of the dragon race, but this knockout drug is the only drug that can make them fall into a coma quickly. Look, the amount in each bottle is actually very small, but it's enough."
As she said that, she handed a bottle to Li Mo. Li Mo looked at the glass bottle in his hand that was slightly blue. There was a wooden stopper at the mouth of the bottle. He raised it above his head and looked into it under the weak light.
Angela was right. There was not much in the glass bottle. When he heard that such a small amount of drug could knock down two dragon guards, Li Mo was also very surprised.
Seeing that Li Mo was about to open the stopper, Angela immediately stretched out her hand to stop him. She screamed, "You're crazy. This drug is very strong. Humans will faint as soon as they smell it."
Li Mo's hand trembled when he heard that. He almost dropped the glass bottle on the ground. Fortunately, Angela reacted quickly and immediately reached out to catch it.
"Let me tell you, many drugs can not be opened and smelled directly. For example, this is made especially for the dragon race and can not even be smelled by humans."
As she explained, she put all the knockout drugs back into the bag. "Because the dragon race's resistance is very strong, the drugs have to be sent to the eyes of the dragon using magic, because their eyes are very fragile and sensitive."
Li Mo said, "Thank you, I almost made a big mistake just now!"
"It's okay, you just don't know it. Just be careful in the future!"
Li Mo blinked, and suddenly said, "I think, I know how to open the secret door."
The air suddenly became quiet. Everyone was stunned when they heard Li Mo's words. They looked at him in disbelief.
But at the same time, they were also very suspicious. After all, Li Mo had said that he knew nothing about this secret door. How could he know how to open the secret door after just a few glances?
The swordsman began to mock Li MO and said, "How could a lowly slave open the secret door of the dragons? Are you kidding me?"
After all, all five of them had unique skills. How could a slave of the Dragon Kingdom open the secret door if they could not do it.
Phil said disdainfully, "How can a slave like you open the secret door of the Dragon Kingdom?"
Alizi also looked at Li Mo. "We've been working for hours. Are we worse than a lowly slave like you?"
Angela only looked at him suspiciously and did not say anything.
Mace thought that Li Mo was just trying to be useful, so she said, "Li Mo, even if you can't help us, it's okay. We won't blame you. Besides, we really don't have much time left. We can't waste any more time."
Vintine completely ignored him and continued to try to open the secret door using her own method.
The few of them were not in the mood to waste time with Li Mo. They all continued with their work.
Faced with their ridicule and disregard, Li Mo's expression did not change, nor did he feel angry.
He smiled and continued, "I'm not lying! I just remembered that we have been slaves in the dragon palace for generations, so I didn't have much to do since I was young."
Seeing that they were looking at him again, he continued, "I suddenly remembered that when I was young, I left the group of slaves and ran into this cave alone."
"It's just that this cave didn't have as many treasures as it does now, so I can't remember it at the moment."
Alizi narrowed her eyes and looked at Li Mo, trying to figure out if the person in front of her was lying.
After a while, she asked, "How do you open the secret door?"
"At that time, Queen Melia hadn't inherited the throne, and the Dragon King was still Odin. When I sneaked in, the old Dragon King was the only one inside," Li Mo said.
"I hid outside this secret room and saw the old Dragon King open the secret door."
Although this story was made up, Li Mo could indeed open this secret door.
The five people did not pay attention to him at all. He walked around the secret room and found out that the secret door made from dragon magic.
As for the Mage Angela, she did not discover the existence of the magic barrier because it was cast at a specific point in this space. It was not directly cast on the door like an ordinary barrier.
Moreover, the essence of dragon magic was its secrecy. If one's level of magic had not reached a certain level, they would not be able to detect it.
And to him, opening this door was as easy as flipping his hand.
The spell on this secret door was the same as the one that Melia used. It was just that the location of the magic barrier was obscure, so even he took some time to find it.
He wanted to take down these five people without relying on force, and what they cared about the most now was to open this secret door. Why not bait them first.
As long as they took the bait, things would be much easier. However, these people were unusually vigilant. It seemed that he still had to use some brute force.
Phil already had an inexplicable dislike for Li Mo. When he heard Li Mo's words, he thought that he was lying. If he could really open it, he wouldn't have said that he didn't know in the beginning.
Thinking of how he had frequently approached Angela and whispered to her, Phil thought that Li Mo wanted to show off in front of Angela to attract her attention.
Looking at Li Mo's perfect face, Phil said disdainfully, "Stop pretending. If you can't open it, you'll be the one who will lose face."
Then he turned to Angela and said, "Angela, don't believe him. How could a slave know such a confidential thing?"
Hearing Phil's sarcasm, Li Mo looked at him indifferently and said, "What if I can really open the secret door?"
Phil laughed as if he had heard a joke. "Hahaha... If you can really open the secret door, I'll swallow the sword immediately."
As he said that, he raised the sword in his hand high and looked at Li Mo.
Everyone was shocked. Although Phil was usually very reckless, he was not stupid enough to bet on his life. Although Li Mo's words did not have much credibility, what if it was true?
Just as they were about to dissuade him, Li Mo smiled wickedly and said, "Okay! If I can open this secret door, you'll have to swallow the sword."
In order to save Phil's face, Vintine said, "The bet is between two people. Since Phil said that he will swallow the sword if he loses, what about you? If you can't open the secret door, what will you do?"
Li Mo smiled. "If I can't open the secret door, how about I swallow your bow?"
She didn't expect him to say that. After hearing that, she was stunned. Phil clapped his hands a few times and said to Li Mo, "Good! This is what a man should be like."
After saying that, he gestured for Li Mo to open the door.
Everyone thought that Li Mo would definitely regret agreeing to such a bet. When they imagined that he would kneel and beg Phil to let him go, everyone looked at him mockingly.
Li Mo pretended to wander around the secret room. Occasionally, he would reach out and rub the stone wall. This continued for a few minutes. The few of them looked at him impatiently.
Phil said sternly, "Why don't you open it? If you can't open it, just say it. Don't waste our time. As long as you kneel down and apologize to me, you don't need to swallow the bow. Just lick it."
The others thought that Li Mo was stalling, and they all sneered.
Ignoring their mockery, Li Mo did something in a dark corner. It looked like he was looking for the mechanism to open the door, but in fact, he was chanting dragon magic.
Feeling the power surging out of his body and pouring into the point of the enchantment, Li Mo closed his eyes and chanted the spell even faster to speed up the removal of the spell to the secret door.
Just when everyone thought that Li Mo was scared silly, the secret room began to shake. The pebbles on the ground were rolling around restlessly, as if they were looking for an exit.
With a gust of chilly wind, the secret door began to open slowly, and the shaking became more and more intense. Mace and Angela almost lost their balance and had to hold on to the stone wall to stabilize themselves.
Then, the secret door was completely open and the shaking stopped, everyone was dumbstruck! They looked at Li Mo in disbelief. They looked like they had been petrified by Medusa's gaze.
Phil was the most shocked. He swallowed his saliva silently. His face was pale and his hands began to shake subconsciously! Impossible! A mere slave! How could a lowly dragon slave open the secret door?
But actions spoke louder than words. Even if everyone refused to believe it, the facts were right in front of their eyes. Li Mo had indeed opened the secret door.
While everyone's attention was focused on the secret door, Li Mo quietly walked to Angela's side and quickly stole the bag of knockout powder from her bag. He then placed it on his sleeve and took a few more steps away.
Meanwhile, Angela was immersed in the surprise of the secret door being opened. She did not notice Li Mo's subtle movements at all.
Touching the knockout drug in his sleeve, the corner of Li Mo's mouth rose slightly. Then, he looked at the people who were still in a daze. He proudly walked to the secret door and said to the swordsman in a teasing tone, "It seems that someone is going to perform the act of swallowing a sword."
Li Mo's teasing made Phil's face turn white. He could not hold back his emotions and roared at Li Mo in exasperation, "What's there to be proud of as a lowly slave? Believe it or not, I'll kill you right now."
As a top swordsman in the mercenary group, he had never been humiliated like this. Moreover, the person was a slave.
As he spoke, he raised his sword and stabbed at Li Mo. At this moment, the scar on his face looked even more hideous.
Phil's sword was extremely fast, making it impossible for Li Mo to completely avoid it. Li Mo narrowed his eyes. This person had no integrity at all. He wanted to kill him after he lost.
In order to save himself, Li Mo had no choice but to use magic to avoid the sword. However, just as he was about to chant a spell, a white light suddenly pierced through his eyes.
With a bang, the sword in Phil's hand was hit by the white light and fell to the ground.
Phil looked at Angela in surprise and said, "Angela, how could you help this lowly slave? How could you help him go against me?"
Angela put away her wand and walked between the two of them, she tried to persuade Phil, "Don't be rash. It has been so long. If we delay any longer, even if the secret door is opened, if the guards wake up, we might not be able to retreat safely."
Then, she whispered into Phil's ear, "Phil, calm down. Don't forget our goal. Besides, this person is so familiar with the dragon's territory. It might be useful to let him live."
In the team, Angela, who was the strongest, spoke with authority. No matter how angry he was in his heart, Phil calmed down after hearing her words. He felt that he was impulsive. After he got the Sword of Laszka, he would kill this person to vent his anger.
Angela turned to look at Li Mo and smiled, "Li Mo, don't mind him. Phil was just impulsive. He didn't really want to hurt you."
Li Mo cursed in his heart. He could clearly see that the scarred man really wanted his life. But Angela had stopped him in time, so Li Mo did not want to dwell on it.
Then he smiled and nodded, indicating that he understood.
Phil glared at Li Mo, and everyone walked into the secret room.
As soon as they entered, Angela used magic to light up the entire space, and everyone was overjoyed when the secret room lit up. As expected! A sword that was flashing was held vertically in the hands of a huge stone statue.
They suppressed the ecstasy in their hearts and walked to the bottom of the stone statue to look at the sword.
