Alexander's Memoirs - The Trailblazers Chapter 18 Behind the Scenes
"Ouch!" The power in Susie's mind throbbed, and her consciousness became sharper. The she-wolf arched her back and a ball of lightning jumped out of her mouth. After the attack, everyone saw that the hairless part of the skin on her back appeared.
Tight blue scales, front paws gripping the ground in a defensive posture.
The first skinless monster ate this lightning bolt, and its flesh and blood were scorched black, but it was unknown how much damage it caused. Seeing that Susie's lightning bolt hit the target, Noli decisively concentrated her energy to activate the power of nature, raised her sword, and pointed towards
The hit monster launches a powerful slashing attack.
This only made the scorched area larger, and the destructive power of the energy flow was not obvious. The skinless monster, which was attacked twice, rushed in front of Noli and hit it with a hammer. Although he blocked the hammer blow with his sword in time, Noli
Li's hands tightly grasping the hilt of the sword were slightly cracked. This monster is extremely powerful and moves quickly.
Sherlock flicked his wrist, and the soft sword turned into dozens of sword shadows and slashed at the monster in front of Noli. Perhaps because the monster had not yet given birth to bone armor, the physical attack had an excellent effect. The monster's head, two
One arm and one leg were cut off, and he could no longer die.
Alexander felt that these monsters were definitely not the last boss, so he conserved his strength and did not consume too much energy. He shot an ordinary arrow and pierced the chest of the second skinless monster that rushed over, but failed to kill it with one hit.
kill.
The next three skinless monsters may not have enough nutrition and are not as fast as the first one, so their attacks failed. Freya, who was at the back, couldn't draw her sword conveniently, so she threw an adamantium flying ball at the injured skinless monster.
When the knife hit the monster, Noli followed up. She shouted out the newly remembered spell in a deep voice, and swung the sword upward with force. After slashing, the long and narrow wound on the monster suddenly sprouted a group of twisted thorny vines and
It was wrapped tightly in a circle, and then the inward squeezing began to expand the wound and break the monster into two pieces.
Then Alexander shot the monster in the thigh again. Susie took this opportunity to swing her claws and leave a deep wound on the ankle of the monster's intact leg, probably breaking the tendon.
The third one fell down, and the arrow in its chest was pierced from the back, forming a larger penetrating wound and completely incapacitating the monster. The last fourth one was not something to be afraid of. It can be said that this time it was basically useless.
Wounds resolve battles.
Alexander vigilantly used ordinary arrows to finish off the damage and said to his companions: "Do you want to go in? Or should you go to the other side to meet the wizard village chief and the others first?"
Noli squatted down first and fed Susie, whose wound had been opened due to her aggressive attack, a bottle of medicine. Unfortunately, this could not make the beautiful blue hair she lost grow back. Then she herself drank a bottle of treatment prepared by the technician.
Potion: "The things here should be cleaned up first. I wonder if those corpses will stand up."
After hearing this, Alexander aimed at the heads of other corpses in the room and shot them. He felt that they were almost killed. He endured the nausea and approached those bodies that had no signs of life at all. He carefully recovered the arrows, but there were always half of them.
Sometimes the arrows will fly apart, sometimes the arrow shaft will break, and sometimes the arrow tail will fall off: "Um...someone move the handle, I really don't want to waste arrows on these things." Freya also followed suit.
He did it, and for the third time he retracted the adamantine flying knife he shot repeatedly: "Indeed, and it's disgusting."
"Okay." Sherlock used the scimitar he picked up from the skeletons to split all the heads of the remaining skinless monsters, which could be considered as a rusty weapon.
"What is that thing that looks like an embryo?" Noli asked doubtfully. After all, it seemed to have nothing to do with the symbol on the door before, nor did it have anything to do with the speculation of the big man guarding the door.
"Is this... the headquarters of some kind of cult?" Freya felt inexplicably frightened and spoke the terms that came to her mind.
"A large number of human experiments... are so blasphemous, should we find someone to report to the village chief first?" Noli knelt down and looked at Susie, while the she-wolf tilted her head in confusion.
Sherlock, who was doing the last-ditch attack at this time, didn't notice that one of the corpses had completely turned into an unclean creature. The stiff but undead corpse had not completely lost its mobility. Before Sherlock could react, he opened his legs with sharp nails.
There were several bloody holes. "...it scared me." The others only saw Sherlock take a huge step back, and did not hear clearly the foul language that Sherlock said. Then he drank the healing potion given by Noli and saw all the blood on his body.
The wounds are healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Noli went over and cut off the zombie's head with a big sword, and Sherlock stepped forward and slashed several times at the zombie's body as if to vent his anger. In the end, everyone only found four black pieces with blood lines in several metal nests.
It is loosely crystallized and I don’t know what it is used for. It can be collected together by one person.
Alexander frowned as he watched Sherlock use another bottle of precious potion and said: "I have a hunch that these monsters are not their ultimate goal. We must fight quickly to kill the enemies here."
When the adventurers were about to leave the room to report the situation, a huge sound of gold and iron came from the room at the other end of the corridor. "Hmm?! Come over and have a look!" Alexander rushed out of the room.
Due to the wound, Noli dragged her sword and ran towards the loud noise with Alexander. The tip of the sword scratched the stone bricks on the ground, emitting countless sparks. She did not forget to tell the she-wolf running behind her: "
Susie, please be safe later!"
Freya hurriedly threw away the cloth to wipe away the blood stains, grasped the throwing knife and followed her teammates. Sherlock glanced at the corpse in front of him again before turning around and slowly chasing after him.
Everyone rushed into the half-open door listening to the shouts during the battle. They saw that several people in the tribal group except the village chief had fallen down at this time. It should not have been more than fifteen seconds since the battle started. Not only the other people
They all fell down, and the village chief was already covered in blood. He was alone against a humanoid construct powered by magic power. The memory that appeared in Freya's mind made her recognize it: "This is a flesh and blood golem."
!”
The body of this huge sutured man, who is ten feet tall, is covered with disgusting yellow mucus, and most of his camouflage skin has been cut. The porcelain teeth in the big mouth that cannot be closed are arranged neatly, and the smell of fresh blood is
It made the adventurers feel pungent and dizzy, but fortunately it only lasted for a short while.
In order to protect the downed comrades, the village chief had to adopt the most disadvantageous tactics. The most incredible thing is that the extremely powerful heavy weapon in the hands of the village chief cannot even hurt the tough-skinned construct at all.
It can barely block the attack head-on.
Except for this big guy, there was a big iron table in the center of the room. On the armchair on the right side of the table sat a corpse wearing a hooded black robe with its head raised. The dried blood dripping on the ground formed a large pool of dark spots.
, there are many fragments of glass bottles on the plaque. The corpse's right hand tightly holds a snake-shaped dagger that cut open his chest, and the index finger and thumb of the left hand are holding something - most likely a quilt on the ground.
Broken potion bottle.
An irregular crimson crystal fell on the part that should have been his heart. His face should have been very handsome originally, but now it was abnormally ferocious. The wide-open eyes turned out to be the vertical pupils of a snake, narrowed into a slit, wide open.
There is a forked tongue in the mouth, and there are dense dark green scales on the parts of the wrist and neck.
There are several wooden cabinets on the wall. On the wooden box in the corner are many tools, such as bone chopping knives, short saws, hammers, metal screwdrivers, etc. There are also two bottles of potions on a shelf fixed on the wall——
One red and one black.
In the previous battle, someone had damaged the chest of the golem, slightly leaking out the internal core magic source blocked by the bones. This was an opportunity.
The adventurers spent a few seconds to judge the situation, and then Noli shouted: "Everyone, I think this thing shouldn't eat swords... Susie! Can you try yours? If you can remove the energy source on his chest,
It should fall off, or explode or something. It should stop... I'm not sure, but I have to try." At first, when Noli saw this construct, she instinctively wanted to step back, but after taking a deep breath,
Still stood his ground.
When Alexander heard this, he immediately took an enchanted adamantine arrow and tried to shoot at the golem's chest, but was separated by the golem's conscious arm, but he had no such skill when facing the village chief's giant axe.
Blocking action.
A bright green light suddenly lit up on the village chief's body. It may be that the power had been exhausted and it immediately stopped shining. The wound had only healed a little. After gasping twice, the village chief said without looking back: "Don't waste your efforts.
Take them out quickly and I will stop this thing. Listen to me and take them away." Then the village chief swung his giant ax and hit the golem hard.
Sherlock seemed to hear something, turned his head and looked at the door in the middle of the room, then immediately picked up his aquiline nose and ran towards the torch on the torch stand. Alexander hesitated, picked up his bow and arrows, and resisted the big man and left.
Noli put away her sword and stepped forward quickly, holding Soras and the wizard in each hand, and walked steadily out.
Freya started to pull the iron table to block the door. Halfway through the corridor, Noli's painful voice came from the corridor: "The wizard woke up, and he let me see the lower part of the room behind the middle door.
.That is a huge evil that must be sealed away...The monster is directly under the room...Don't face it..."
Freya heard the words and immediately rushed to the middle door after the iron table was in place. At this time, the door was opened by some invisible mechanical device to a gap that could be barely passed through. It was currently stuck. She put the torch to explore
I didn't find any danger when I went in, so I ducked in sideways to try to find something that could be used.
A large number of various types of materials are displayed in this spacious room. There are a lot of almost every recognizable precious metal, which is dizzying. There are also some cool-looking alloy plate armors, but they have not been cared for for a long time.
, are they still useful? In addition, there are several non-human corpses in the corner of the room.
Freya held the torch and walked deeper. Only one body was not in the corner, but lying next to a huge deformed silver metal plate at the end of the room. There were also some strange buttons and levers on it. The most disturbing thing was that
There is only a red button that people can understand, with an explosion pattern painted on it that is so vivid that people may not be able to recognize it, and there are some incomprehensible annotation patterns below.
The village chief in the room on one side fought and retreated, shouted and pushed the monster back ten feet away, then quickly ran out the door and blocked it with a table to delay.
Freya waited for a while, and after the village chief ran to a safe distance, the construct that was stuck on the iron table due to its huge size began to make a sound of smashing metal. At this moment, she pressed the button and used the final
He left the room as quickly as possible and ran towards the ground with all his strength. At the same time, the underground of the temple began to tremble, and dust began to fall from the ceiling.
The adventurers had never felt that this short journey was so long. As soon as Sherlock ran out of the temple, he tripped on the last step and fell hard to the ground. He was pinned down by his hooked nose and couldn't get up. He felt powerless.
Breathing heavily, he said: "Hey, Noni. Let Susie take him. I can't do it anymore."
"Put me down, let me do it." The big man Alexander was carrying finally woke up, and she put the big man down as if she was being pardoned and let him grab the hooked nose.
Susie ran to Sherlock and rubbed her head on his arm. Sherlock reluctantly climbed onto the wolf's back to keep from falling off, grabbing the fur on the side of the wolf and feeling the gentle massage of weak static electricity.
"Come on!" Sherlock shouted excitedly.
The passage began to collapse, and stone chips and clods of earth continued to fall behind Freya. Many corpses also fell down. The smell of earth spread in the air that itself was not very pleasant, and was sucked into her lungs with fierce breathing.
During the extremely violent shaking, Freya saw light! She let go and threw down the torch. Freya dodged half of the cracked stone bricks that fell in front of her and started the final sprint. Finally, she returned to the temple under the nervous eyes of her teammates.
In addition, in the end, the surface part of the temple was also overwhelmed and half of it collapsed into the earth.
Before they could express their joy of survival to each other, after several people heard an evil cry that sounded like an evil cry in purgatory, illusory flames burst out from the whole body and fell to the ground and passed out again. The adventurers pulled out their weapons and looked over. A man with a gloomy face
A man in black robe and hood with a stiff smile walked out of the shadow of the building.
Then he chanted disgusting whispers, causing the village chief to fall down with a face full of pain. Although he was still conscious, he was obviously unable to fight.
Alexander raised his bow and fired, but the enemy in front of him just stretched out his hand and instantly summoned a translucent light blue shield around him. This thing blocked Alexander's enchanted adamantine arrows.
"It's a really good performance. According to my script, I can spare your life. As a reward for you, I allow you to join my plan." The raised hand with five rings on it was taken off smoothly.
He took off his hood so that a few people could see his face clearly.
But Sherlock, who stood up straight, keenly discovered that something in two of the rings was broken at the same time. This was a vague feeling that was difficult to describe in words. Sherlock's eyes lit up and he planned to speak to his teammates.
, but unfortunately no one looked at him at this time, so he said: "What about those villagers?"
The man, who was pale but still smiling, responded to Sherlock: "Let them fend for themselves."
"You do all this just to watch the show?" Noli said immediately after Freya's refusal, while Susie stared at this guy closely.
"Watching a show, of course not. But in this case, I don't need to explain." The man did not explain much.
"But, even if you don't kill us now...will you sell us in the future, after we have no use value? So, I refuse!" Freya looked disbelieving in his expression, but her hands trembled for a moment, but in the end she didn't
Change her words. Maybe she was timid before...but now she can face her weakness.
"Since my companion has refused, then I also refuse." Sherlock suddenly pulled out his sword, and the battle was about to break out. This chapter has been completed!
