"——Drink!"
Another fierce collision sounded from the dark depths, and a skeleton-shaped enemy was thrown out of the darkness in that direction. The person who knocked it out did not pursue the skeleton that seemed to be about to be scattered.
, but continued to be entangled with other skeletons of the same kind who were surrounding them from all directions. The space near the edge of the giant pit was filled with more and more sounds of bones and metal colliding with each other. It should have been
The fierce fighting atmosphere was becoming more and more deserted at this time. The human figure who was insisting on not being besieged to death in the center of the battle field also put away his struggling chopping posture, with the rusty hands in his hands.
The iron sword then sank into the chest of one of the skeleton enemies with his last flying slash: "It is an undead creature in the first place, and there are so many gaps all over the body..."
"It seems difficult to kill them."
Muttering such words in his mouth, the man who kept moving at his feet finally revealed his face that was a little red due to being drunk for a moment in the interplay of light and shadow. His free hands then moved with enough energy.
With a speed that broke through the air, he clasped the arm of the other skeleton between his own arms: "Although -"
"I can still clean you out of here."
Amidst countless crackling and crisp collision sounds, he roared and pressed his knees forward, as if all the strength in his body was concentrated on his turning and throwing, along with the entire body of the skeleton in his hand.
It was thrown into the distance. The sound of bones hitting the masonry ground echoed again and again around the straight line from which the skeleton flew. Finally, the skinny skeleton of the smashed undead companions was carried along the broken wall and the big building.
The exposed edge of the huge pit rolled down into the invisible depths of darkness. The falling gravel and brick fragments also lingered for a moment between the eyes of the man who had adapted to the darkness, and the next moment they fell.
It was covered by more black figures surrounding him: "If it weren't for the large number -"
"I have long thrown all of you half-dead guys into the abyss!"
The tone that had always seemed relaxed and indifferent finally showed a different fluctuation. The man complained and gestured towards the direction where the skeletons disappeared. He dodged the other two sharp claws that almost scratched his back.
The attack, the moving footsteps and the flashing bodies also had a bit of metallic light: "You immortal resentful spirits, hypocritical warriors -"
"Even if you know how to use weapons, you can't be my opponent!"
The disharmonious picture broke the dead silence and calm caused by the long battle. After retreating to the corner of the room, his dilated pupils also fell on the black skeletons reflecting the metallic light in the hands of a new group of enemies who had just appeared here.
, with the same red light shining in their dark eyes, they then raised the different scimitars and shields in their hands high, and their mandibles kept opening and closing without making any sound: "——Come on!"
"Your destination is just ahead. If you want to die again, just come here." He waved his hand and pointed at the edge of the giant pit facing the approaching skeletons. The man who had fought alone seemed to have vented all the feelings in his heart.
A trace of anger: "I only chase angry ghosts... Oh, even if you discover my existence..."
"Even if you discover my existence..."
After muttering to himself, he repeated this sentence. The red-faced man gradually retreated as the skeleton army approached, and finally came to the corner of the room. This was not the first time he encountered this situation.
There was no trace of panic on his face, only a trace of hesitation flashed through his wandering eyes: "It seems that I have become a beacon, and it is no use being dragged here all the time.
,Do you want--"
Do you want to use your true abilities?
The second half of the unspoken sentence flashed through his mind, and his wandering eyes also scratched across the surface of another rusty scimitar that rolled down from his feet. A heavy earthquake followed.
The sound of the wall breaking broke the man's movement of reaching out to pick it up. At the same time, Duan Qing's figure was revealed on the other side of the collapsed wall where the dust had not yet dispersed: "It is indeed you, Shi Ayun."
"...Hey, your movements are too slow." After identifying the identity of the visitor, the man named Shi Ayun retracted the hand he originally wanted to extend: "I have been waiting here.
How long has it been? Was it ten days? Or half a month?"
"How can it be such a long time? Not even a day has passed now." Among the smoke and dust that had not yet dispersed, Duan Qing's angry reply immediately sounded: "And we climbed up from below to find you.
In terms of depth, we obviously go a little deeper than you, okay?"
"Did you come up from below?" Shi Ayun, who dodged the attack range of the skeleton closest to him and retreated to the edge of the pit, poked his head and looked down after hearing the sound: "How is this possible? I just
We have encountered so many enemies when we got here. If we go down further——"
"This place is also divided into many areas, brother."
The roaring fireball then broke through the dense sea of skeletons, and the huge sparks that bloomed completely lit up the entire dark room. Duan Qing, who used the heat and shock wave of the explosion to disperse the enemies in the central area, also interrupted.
Shi Ayun's words, the gaze represented by the frowned eyebrows also quickly flashed across some of the skeletons holding weapons: "But I'm afraid it will take a lot of time to explain. Let's find a way to change the place first.
.”
"Okay, you guys have the final say." Returning to his drunken and casual appearance, Shi Ayun then completely restrained the sharp edge he had shown in the previous battle: "Anyway, I'm tired of fighting these weirdos.
Weird things continue to entangle, and now it’s time to wait.”
"Aren't there two of you left?" Sensing Duan Qing's lonely figure revealed in the illuminated direction, Shi Ayun answered with a bit more confusion: "Why are you the only one left?"
Already? Could it be——"
"Stop, there is no plot like you imagined."
A large amount of frost energy was once again condensed in his hands, and Duan Qing, who had broken through the wall, then enveloped his voice and a new round of magic attacks over the battlefield: "There were some minor accidents on the road, so the current
I will take care of her for the time being."
"Hurry up and resolve the current troubles, and we will be reunited soon."
***************************************
The wall broken by the earth magic seemed to have played its due role. The deadlock on the battlefield was broken and Shi Ayun, who was struggling in the room on the edge of the pit, was successfully rescued. His movement speed was not considered
These slow skeleton enemies originally wanted to wave the swords and guns in their hands and continue to hunt the two creatures in front of them, but the steps they wanted to take were frozen in place by rounds of frost and ice shadows.
Di. Taking advantage of this momentum, he fled the area far away. Duan Qing, who was taking Shi Ayun with him, also ran skillfully in these narrow and unfamiliar corridor spaces. He turned left and right for a long time.
Finally, he stopped in front of a silent and quiet room, and showed the figure of Xue Ling Huan Bing, who was half lying in the corner of the room, to the drunkard: "This is the safe spot we found, first of all
Let’s take a short break.”
"It seems that you have indeed spent a lot of time in this place." Shi Ayun, who was a little surprised by the development in front of him, nodded and walked into the area. Hearing the sound, Shi Ayun also praised Duan Qing: "Not only are the roads and terrain
So familiar, and he found my location so easily."
"That's because your place is the most noisy." Duan Qing said with an expressionless expression: "Only if there is something wrong with our ears, we might not notice the relationship between you and those undead creatures.
The sound of fierce fighting.”
"That's not necessarily true. After all, there are still too many secrets deep in this ruins." Shaking his head, Shi Ayun turned around and looked at Duan Qing's face: "For example - how do you confirm that there is a fight?
Are you sure you can find me?"
"After all, we are the only ones who have broken into this underground area, so we can figure it out just by guessing."
Duan Qing, who also lowered his head and his face became darker, then lowered his voice and replied: "Of course, if I am sure that this battle has nothing to do with you, I will not take another look at that place."
"This sentence sounds really sad." Shi Ayun turned around and waved his hands with squinting eyes: "And listening to what you said, you are not only very familiar with the terrain here, but also very familiar with the situation.
It’s familiar.”
"Of course, we have encountered some unimaginable developments." Duan Qing replied with his lips curled up, and Duan Qing's eyes turned to Shi Ayun's head with a lingering feeling: "If
If it weren't for the battle you caused above that attracted our attention, we might have found what we wanted to find long ago, and Lingbing wouldn't have become what it is now..."
"This is also the question I have always wanted to ask." He looked up and glanced at the white-haired woman sitting in the corner who had been silent and her face and expression looked extremely weak. Shi Ayun continued to ask in a natural tone.
: "What happened to her? Who beat her like this?"
"A skeleton suddenly appeared in the middle of the cliff heading to your location. The unforeseen attack also injured her shoulder." Duan answered, pointing to the white clothes that had been treated by him but were still in tatters.
Qing then slowly turned to the direction of Shi Ayun: "Have the skeletons here been upgraded... ah no, have they become stronger? Not only are they carrying weapons, but the attacks are also accompanied by diseases or curses.
s things……"
"So that's it, she has been cursed like this, right?" After holding her chin up and observing the way Snow Spirit Huan Bing had her eyes closed and her breath weak, Shi Ayun nodded suddenly: "No wonder
My body has been telling me not to scratch my skin with those things, and it seems to make sense."
"You have been entangled with so many undead creatures for so long, and you were not injured in the end?" His words naturally attracted Duan Qing's attention: "Awesome, man, I really want to stand up and applaud you."
"I said that my beating skills are very strong. If you want to deal with those guys, throwing them one by one from the edge of the cliff is the most effective way." He said his answer casually, and Shi Ayunna turned to him.
The arms that Duan Qing gestured towards also showed a unique withered feeling under the black powder: "And I am not unscathed. Since I have to come into contact, it is inevitable that some life force will be absorbed."
"Children, please don't imitate me." After saying this, he blinked his eyes hard: "Especially you two, your vitality seems to be weaker than when I first met you.
It’s over.”
"We are normal people, and normal people will feel tired and hungry." Duan Qing rolled his eyes and replied helplessly: "And our original plan did not include underground exploration at all. Now we are trapped in
It is natural that food and other supplies cannot keep up here."
"Well, this is indeed a big problem." As if he had just noticed this key factor that could lead to death, Shi Ayun's eyebrows slowly became tangled: "It's okay if there is no meat to eat. If there is no wine to drink, I will
But I will really be heartbroken.”
"You're still thinking about drinking at this time!" So he was slapped hard on the back by Duan Qing: "Think about how to get out! Or think about how to survive!"
"Hey, I'm not an adventurer. This kind of survival problem must be handled by professionals like you." Shi Ayun put on a helpless expression and raised his head, removing the beard on his chin that had not been taken care of for a long time.
Zha revealed a little: "Why else would you come to a place like this? Don't say you are here to save me. I can't bear your kindness."
"Of course not, we are here to find parts." Duan Qing curled his lips and then put away his knitted eyebrows: "We encountered some things before, and now we want to find some alternative repair method.
The clues pointed us to the vicinity of this area, but in the end our appearance led us to a rugged detour."
"Then I'm really sorry for you." After waving his hand, Shi Ayuna gradually turned his gaze towards the door while observing Xue Ling Huan Bing: "So where is that thing? How are we going to get there?"
"In front of the place where you just fought, the road has been blocked by the undead creatures you attracted." Instead of focusing on Shi Ayun, Duan Qing squatted in front of Xueling Huanbing.
: "And to be honest, I have no intention of getting any parts right now."
"I want to get rid of the curse on Ling Bing first."
