Chapter 45. Start the hunt
"Number 76, are you ready?"
The next day, at the appointed time, Defoe Rossby personally came to the boy's room to call him. This time he was still wearing the loose black robe, his face was still expressionless, but he was carrying it on his back.
The long black-sheathed sword gave this cold man a sharp and sharp edge.
"Um."
By the way, the boy now has a new name, or rather a number - 76.
No. 76 itself has no extra meaning, it is just a number. It just reminded the boy of a chilling organization that once existed in another world, which made him feel unhappy, but it was just a coincidence.
"Okay, let's go."
The boy followed Defoe Rossby to the "Iron Ghost Gate". The "Iron Ghost Gate" is the only entrance and exit to Findara's helm. Of course, there are important entrances that seem to make the temperature in the cold cave even lower.
Two "ghost" guards. These "ghosts" still raised their thin swords in front of the two members who were obviously dressed for the trip, maintaining a terrifying posture of keeping strangers away.
Defoe Rossby walked up to a "ghost" who looked like a leader and handed him a piece of parchment in his hand. The "ghost" spread out the parchment. The darkness did not affect his vision at all.
After confirming that the pass was within the validity period, the leader "Ghost" nodded and motioned to the "ghosts" behind him to let the two people pass.
So open.
This is No. 76’s first impression of the outside after stepping into the “Iron Ghost Gate”.
The "Iron Ghost Gate" is eight meters high and five meters wide. The passage leading to the ground is also of this size. Not to mention letting people pass through, it is more than enough even to enter an underage Behemoth.
Although this was not the first time he passed through this exit, he was in a coma the most recent time, and the more distant time was so long ago that he had almost forgotten it.
No. 76's feet stepped on the soft mud. He could feel the large and small stones in the soil, and there would be clear echoes with every step he took. It seemed that this was a mine a long time ago.
There are pillars and lamp stands, but of course there are no lights on those lamp stands.
It was pitch dark all around, and it was only thanks to the oil lamp No. 76 in Defoe's hand that he could see clearly what was going on nearby.
Those "ghosts" did not trust them, even if Defoe was there. No. 76 could feel that these ghosts were still monitoring their every move through the noise in the passage after the two of them left.
Are you afraid that we might steal their rice? Are you so wary?
Looking at the situation, the chance of sneaking in and out of Findara's helm without permission is almost zero.
The about 60-meter-long passage itself is also a fortification. The scattered stones on the ground of the passage are combined with the soft soil, making it impossible for horses to run in this passage. Moreover, no matter how lightly you step, the sound of footsteps will be heard due to
The problems of gravel and space are magnified. In addition, the "ghosts" guarding near the "Iron Ghost Gate" have extremely strong perception ability, and they will detect any movement. If a foreign enemy invades this place, they want to launch a surprise attack.
It's not that simple.
It is also impossible for the people inside to sneak out quietly. The strength of these "ghost" guards will not be inferior to the "ghost" that the boy encountered before. It is okay to deal with one, but once the number exceeds two
Then the only outcome would be to be sacked.
For actual combat, the increase in the number of enemies being fought at the same time increases the difficulty factor, which is not a simple addition of one plus one.
No. 76 knows this very well. In his memory, there are plots in film and television works from another world where martial artists use one enemy against many to highlight the strength of the characters. In fact, these fighting scenes have a lot of content.
In those scenes, the protagonist is fighting with a minion, and the other minions will usually maintain a ferocious look with their teeth and claws splayed, and they look like they are ready to take action at any time. In fact, before the minion falls, everyone else will stop in place.
Watch a play.
Even in a martial arts scene where multiple people are surrounding each other, the protagonist is only fighting one person every time he takes action, and the attacks of other people are mostly irrelevant or simply a feint.
In fact, when you are fighting against multiple powerful enemies, the opponent will not care about any principles. They will rely on their numerical advantage to swarm them directly. There is no possibility of completely blocking. After all, people are not armored dragon turtles, and if the opponent is holding a
As for the weapon, as long as it hits a vital part effectively, it can make a person lose their fighting power.
Unless you are really a master who can rely on your flexible body skills to constantly dodge the fighting, or you can be as fierce as a child, or you have some special ability that is similar to cheating, otherwise you will not be able to survive a few rounds.
will fail.
The saying that a good man cannot defeat two fists is no lie.
There are at least four "ghosts" guarding the "Iron Ghost Gate". Any one of the "ghosts" can put the current No. 76 into a tough battle with an inextricable outcome. Moreover, he has to face multiple "ghosts" who are good at cooperating.
In an emergency, these "ghosts" can call for reinforcements.
Moreover, there is only one passage here, so escaping from Fendara Branch is as difficult as climbing to the sky.
After walking for a while, the two came to the outer door. The outer door was a wooden door engraved with a statue of a ghost head. There were also two "ghost" guards here. After Defoe showed the pass, the two "ghosts"
Then open the door and let people go.
Although this door is a simple wooden door, the outside side of the door is camouflaged with vines. After the wooden door is closed, No. 76, who is less than half a foot away from the door, said that he cannot tell that it is a door at all.
It's as if this is just a natural vine wall.
There is still a short passage to go, but at this time you can already see some light from outside. On the surface, this passage looks like an abandoned mine, and you can also see some abandoned mine cars and completely rusted mines.
Unusable metal tools.
When No. 76 came to the outside world after a long absence, it was still dark outside, and there were brilliant stars shining in the night sky.
Nia, Liana, how are they doing?
No. 76 suddenly remembered the pair of sisters who were taken away by the knights. They must also be living somewhere under this sky. If you want to chat about "The Second Trial" with more like-minded people, follow "Youdu" on WeChat
