Li Mo did not follow them to the stone statue. He only looked at the sword from a distance.
This was the legendary Sword of Laszka!
Li Mo estimated that the sword was two feet and one inch long. The body of the sword was made of black iron and was extremely thin. Under the reflection of the light, it emitted a faint cold light. The hilt of the sword was carved with a golden dragon winding around it, the top of the sword was also inlaid with five gemstones of different colors, making it look majestic.
Everyone was extremely excited. After all their effort, they had finally seen the legendary sword. If they could steal the sword back and presented it to the high priest, they would be promoted to a higher rank. Wouldn't it be easy to obtain wealth and glory then?
However, the stone statue was about two meters tall, and the hands were tightly wrapped around the sword. It was nearly impossible to retrieve it. Angela waved her magic wand and tried to use magic to separate the sword from the stone statue.
She tried a few times, but the sword did not move at all.
She frowned slightly. Could it be that the sword had spirituality and could not be broken by magic? She looked at Phil and said, "Phil, try climbing up the statue and see if you can remove the sword."
Phil immediately put his sword on his waist and climbed up the statue. When he reached the arm of the statue, he immediately squatted down, holding the statue with one hand and reaching for the sword with the other hand.
When everyone's eyes fell on the Sword of Laszka, no one noticed that Li Mo had quietly left the secret room and was walking towards the cave entrance.
Li Mo quickly ran back to the cave entrance. Seeing that the dragon guards still showed no signs of waking up, he thought that the knockout drug made was really powerful. The drug had lasted longer than 5 to 6 hours!
Li Mo hurriedly walked to the side of one of the unconscious guards, squatted down, and kept groping him. After a while, he frowned and stood up, then walked to the side of another guard and started groping him.
Soon, he smiled and took the transparent water bag from the waist of the other guard. He put the knockout drug inside and closed the lid. Then, he shook the water bag a few times.
Watching the drug slowly dissolve into the water bag until there was no trace left, a cunning smile appeared on Li Mo's face.
After doing all this, Li Mo took the water bag and quickly ran back to the secret room.
When he came back, the group of people had successfully taken the sword from the stone statue. However, the hands of the stone statue had been violently broken into a few pieces, and they were lying on the ground.
Angela held the sword high and said excitedly, "We did it! We did not disappoint the high priest and Captain Ed!"
The others looked up at the sword in Angela's hand, their faces red with excitement.
"Angela, since we have the sword, let's not waste time. It's better to leave this place quickly," Alizi said calmly.
Angela put down the sword after hearing this. Then, she took out a piece of black cloth from the bag and wrapped the sword tightly.
Seeing that the few of them were ready to run away, there was no time to waste. Li Mo took the water bag and walked forward. He smiled and said, "Congratulations, everyone. You've successfully obtained the Sword of Laszka!"
At this time, everyone was immersed in the joy of completing the mission. Their attitude towards Li Mo was also a little better. Even Phil felt that Li Mo was a lot more pleasing to the eye now.
"Since our mission is completed, it's time to leave this place. Li Mo, don't worry. When the high priest obtains the power of the powerful Laszka tribe, I'll definitely ask him to come and save you."
Angela promised Li Mo sincerely.
Li Mo smiled, revealing his rows of white teeth. He said gratefully, "Then I thank you on behalf of my family."
"By the way, I just went out to take a look. The two guards haven't woken up yet, so I took a water bag from them. I saw that you've been here for a long time, but you haven't had a sip of water. No matter what, you should drink some water first before leaving."
Seeing that they were a bit hesitant, Li Mo made up an excuse and said, "This is the spring water unique to the hidden dragon mountain range. It can restore your physical strength. Moreover, there's a black fog outside the Dragon Palace. You have to maintain your physical strength in order to pass through safely."
After hearing Li Mo's advice, and especially after hearing that the spring water could replenish their strength, Angela no longer hesitated. She went forward and took the water bag in Li Mo's hand.
After all, she needed her magic to pass through the black fog safely. She had to recover to ensure that the five of them could leave this area together.
Alizi sensibly stopped Angela and said warily, "I think we should not drink the water here. Although it is helpful to recover our strength, it might only work on the people of the Dragon Kingdom."
Things were not good. Why was Alizi so vigilant? He couldn't drink the water to prove it.
As if blessed by the god of luck, Angela was in a good mood because she had successfully obtained the sword. She kindly spoke up for Li Mo, "What are you afraid of? Even the Sword of Laszka was easily obtained by us. In fact, the dragon race is not as powerful others claimed."
Seeing that Angela didn't hesitate to drink, the others didn't suspect him either. They all took the water bags and drank the water mixed with the knockout powder.
Mace and Alizi also drank a few mouthfuls of water in succession. Li Mo became even more excited. "Drink up and have a good sleep. I will take you to see Queen Melia," He thought.
However, when it's Phil's turn, he kept pouring water into his mouth urgently and there was a lot of water that leaked out.
Seeing that Phil drank so much and had no intention of stopping at all, and the water in the water bag was decreasing at the speed of light, Li Mo began to panic.
He shouted in his heart, "Don't drink all of it! Can't you see that there's still one person who hasn't drunk it?" He thought that if Phil drank all of the water, then things would completely deviate from his plan.
With this thought in mind, he walked forward, intending to take the water bag. However, when he took the water bag and shook it slightly, he realized that the water in the bag had long been finished.
Li Mo opened his mouth slightly and looked at Phil. He didn't know what to say at the moment.
After Phil swallowed the water in his mouth, he wiped his mouth with his sleeve and sighed. "Ah... this water is really good. Vintine, I'm sorry. I couldn't help but drink it all."
Phil looked at Vintine apologetically and said, "I'll get you some more water on the way. But this water is really amazing. After drinking it, you're full of energy."
Vintine just shook his head and said, "It's okay."
