"Alyssa, let's go back?" Papalar's short hand was holding the handle of the bull's-eye lantern. He was leaning against the wall, his black bean-like eyes were wide open, and he was looking into the deep place in front of him.
Underground passage, and then said with some trepidation.
The thing he had on hand was not as useful as a pine torch, but the torch was lost during the roll down, which was helpless. He turned around and looked up at Alyssa behind him. And our Miss Nightingale smiled,
He joked: "Okay, how do Mr. Parker plan to go back?"
"Well...I thought you would have a way."
Alyssa shook her head. To be honest, even she herself didn't know how they got to this place. It seemed that when the earth was shaking, a white light suddenly flashed in front of their eyes, and then they returned to this place.
In the familiar underground tunnel.
But to say they were familiar, it was just because the surrounding environment was the same. Both of them were from Nightingale and were good at drawing pictures, but after some on-site exploration, they found that they had never been to this place before.
What's more important is that they have walked back and forth in this maze-like underground corridor several times, marking every fork in the road. But this time, the two of them returned to where they started.
Alyssa reached out and touched the earliest mark carved on the wall, and then looked around. There are only two possibilities left at the moment. One is that this is an entire illusion. As long as the spell effect still exists, they will fail to resist with willpower.
Under such circumstances, it is impossible to get out of this maze.
Another possibility is that this is a completely closed maze in itself, so no matter which direction you go, you can only return to the starting point.
Parker finally gave up and sat down on the ground with his short legs spread apart. He sighed and complained: "We shouldn't have come to this place. Do you remember what the big toad said... Not yet.
The captain insists on having his own way, now we are in trouble."
Alyssa looked around and said in a funny way: "That's the Tada Priest. Be respectful, Parker."
"Okay, I know. But doesn't it mean it's not here? Alyssa, you're not going to tell it what I said, are you?"
"That's hard to say."
"Oh, okay, it's Tada Sacrifice." The Papalar man rolled his black eyes and said in a good tone: "In short, we shouldn't come to this place. It's cold here at night and hot during the day... A real Papara
The Parral people would never set foot in a place like this."
"It is better to have a hill with giant trees. It has a pleasant climate and rich products. Meals are on time every day. No matter what the situation is, the Papalar people will always hold banquets and celebrations. At the celebrations, there are all kinds of delicious food. Unlike here,
Even on the platform, you are living the life of an ascetic, let alone going deep into these dark caves."
"But I haven't seen you skip a meal."
The Papalar man was talking nonchalantly, and Alyssa would occasionally reply. But after a moment, she suddenly turned around, listened for a moment, and then covered his mouth. Parker's black bean-like eyes suddenly widened.
, the pointed ears twitched.
The two of them listened to a rhythmic sound coming from the darkness behind them, like a string of metal being dragged on the ground.
"What is that?" After Alyssa let go of Parker's mouth, Papalar asked in a mouthful.
Alyssa shook her head, pointed at the bull's-eye lantern in his hand, and motioned for him to put out the light.
After the lantern was extinguished, the only source of light in the darkness was their magic furnace.
Alyssa took off her shawl and covered it with the magic furnace. The Papalar people complained, but they were not stupid either. They did the same thing, lifted up their short windbreaker, and covered the magic furnace.
under.
Then the surroundings were completely plunged into darkness, with only the two people's sparkling eyes looking nervously in that direction. In the darkness, the sound of dragging became closer and closer, and became clearer. After a while, a figure appeared
A rickety, haggard old man appeared in their field of vision.
The old man was wearing a red robe, the color was as bright as new, but his head was lowered. The thin neck connected to the huge head almost made people worry that it would break. His hands were turned into claws, and they were also lowered.
They came together, and then they saw clearly that there was a heavy shackle on his wrist. The shackles were deeply sunk under the loose skin, as if they had grown together with the wrist.
The old man was barefoot, with a shackle on his ankle, and an iron chain trailing behind him. The thick iron chain made a clanging sound as it dragged on the ground, and the iron chain extended into the depths of the darkness, as if
There is no end.
Alyssa thought the other person was a refugee kidnapped by air pirates, and she felt compassion in her heart, and was about to take a step forward. But Parker grabbed her from behind, and Black Bean's eyes widened, and he just shook his head.
"What's wrong?"
"Yes...it's that skeleton..."
The two of them asked and answered questions by lip-reading. Alyssa was startled, and suddenly she remembered what it was. The bright red robe on the old man was exactly the same as the attire on the disappeared corpse they had seen before.
. She looked back, and sure enough, the more she looked, the more suspicious she became.
The old man didn't notice the two of them, and only dragged the iron chain forward slowly. But at this moment, a squirrel jumped out of nowhere in the darkness, and passed between Alyssa and Parker. Alyssa, on the other hand,
He has received strict training, and he only gives way slightly without saying a word to prevent rats from hitting him.
The mouse passed through the two people and went straight to the old man. But before it could get close, the old man suddenly bent down like lightning and grabbed the furry little thing with his hooked paws. The gray mouse squeaked,
But before he could struggle, he was lifted up by the old man and brought to his mouth.
He opened his mouth wide, revealing his crooked teeth, which were sharp and sharp. With one bite, the squirrel exploded in his hand like a blood bag. In an instant, blood flowed along his gray and loose skin.
The hands flowed down and merged into the shackles.
Then there was a crunching sound in the darkness.
Alyssa was not frightened by the first scene, but she felt sick when she heard the sound. She finally couldn't help it and retched while pressing her chest. But it was this retching sound that suddenly made the voice in the darkness appear.
As soon as she stopped and became quiet, Alyssa suddenly realized something was wrong.
A sound of wind came
Without thinking, she pulled out the dagger with her backhand and raised the knife to block it. However, something hit the blade in her hand. The force was beyond her imagination. The dagger suddenly lost her grip and flew out of her hand. It hit the wall and was still there.
A few sparks were thrown out, and they flew far away with a tinkling sound.
Alyssa took a closer look and saw that the thing thrown was actually a half-bloody mouse, and she suddenly felt nauseated again.
And there was another heavy sound of wind in the darkness.
Alyssa had already heard what it was, and she dragged Parker who had not yet reacted, and rolled forward. A shadow swept over the two people's heads with a strong wind, and hit hard where they were originally.
There was a deafening roar.
When Parker looked back, he realized that it was an iron chain as thick as his wrist.
The iron chain hit the wall, and a spider web-like crack appeared in the center of the solid rock.
He couldn't help but feel a chill running down his back. What kind of power was this? If they had been hit just now, wouldn't they have been beaten into a pulp?
"Run quickly," Alyssa whispered: "The other party is at least level 30 or above."
"How can I run?"
There is an iron chain behind and a blockade in front.
As a full-time nightingale, Alyssa was still sharper than Parker after all. She glanced at the old man's side, found a gap, pointed in that direction, and whispered: "You left me right."
"Do you really want to get past it?"
"if not?"
Alyssa dropped these words and already shot in that direction. When Parker saw this, he didn't dare to hesitate and picked up his crossbow, so he chased after her with his short legs.
Miss Nightingale approached the old man. The latter suddenly tilted his head and waved his paw towards her. But Alyssa had seen his action of catching the squirrel before, so she had already expected it, so she jumped up and turned into a squirrel.
Black smoke passed between the old man's paws.
As soon as she landed on the ground, she immediately returned to her original position. When she looked back, she saw the Papalar man running over sweating profusely holding his crossbow. He was passing by the other side of the old man, but the latter missed his grasp.
The whole body twisted around like a poisonous snake, opened its bloody mouth and bit the little fat man in one bite.
The Papalar people had never seen this before, and they were so frightened that they couldn't help but urinate and scream.
But Alyssa didn't panic, raised her hand, and shouted: "Thunder Slash"
A ray of light in the darkness flashed back to a bright lightning from the direction where her dagger flew out. The lightning went straight through the old man's neck, causing the latter to let out a shrill scream and lost his target and hit the wall head first.
.The electric light continued to move forward and fell steadily into her hands.
Parker narrowly escaped death and shouted gratefully: "You saved my life!"
Alyssa smiled and asked: "Then how much is your life worth?"
"Uh..." Parker stammered immediately: "...it's not worth a lot of money."
Miss Nightingale sneered at this, looked back at the old man rolling around on the ground in pain, and then said: "I don't think it died that easily. Let's leave this place first."
Parker was still frightened and nodded quickly.
The two of them did not dare to stop and immediately ran forward. But before they had taken a few steps, there was a rapid clanking sound behind them and they caught up with them again. Parker's face changed when he heard the sound, and of course he understood what the sound was. "Oh my God,
Why is this old guy walking so fast!?"
He couldn't help complaining, and looked back. But it was better not to look. He almost fell to the ground in fright at this look.
It turned out that the old man was not on the ground at all, but climbed over from the ceiling using his hands and feet, hanging upside down, and at a very fast speed. What was even more terrifying was that his head was hanging from his neck at a weird angle, like a chandelier.
It swayed from side to side with his huge movements.
And where a person's eyes should be, there are no pupils, only a pair of whites, which makes one's scalp numb.
The chains on the opponent's ankles hung down from mid-air and dragged on the ground. As they jingled, sparks shot out, and they seemed to have arrived behind them in the blink of an eye.
With a forceful movement, it flew toward Alyssa below.
Parker screamed in fright.
Without thinking much, he raised the crossbow in his hand and fired. There was a loud bang, and the crossbow arrow hit the old man's chest without missing a beat, knocking him away.
But as soon as it landed on the ground, it immediately turned over, as if it was not injured, jumped up from the ground, and once again flew towards this direction on its hands and feet. It was like a huge human spider, and Papalar was shocked to see it.
The person's upper and lower teeth chattered.
But then Alyssa pulled him behind him and shouted: "Go this way!"
Parker finally came to his senses and looked back, only to find that there was a fork in the road ahead. After all, he was also half a nightingale. When he saw this fork, he suddenly became excited and asked: "Wait a minute, we didn't come to this place.
Pass!?"
Alyssa nodded. There was no sign of theirs at the fork in the road. They had indeed never been to this place.
"Left or right?"
"There are traces of chain dragging on the right side."
"That's the left."
Parker rushed over without saying a word.
It was only when he ran with his short legs for a long time that he was almost out of breath that he suddenly realized why there was no sound behind him. When he looked back, he was almost scared to death.
In the dark corridor, Alyssa disappeared without knowing when.
He broke out in a cold sweat and was a little afraid to look back, but he didn't dare to go deeper alone. After thinking for a long time, he gritted his teeth and muttered: "What does this mean? It can be compared to the Hill of Giant Trees."
Graxis? That damn little dragoness"
The Papalar man encouraged himself and walked back to take a look, but was stunned.
It turned out that he found Alyssa standing there, looking not far away. He walked over, and Miss Nightingale turned back and asked, "Where did you run to?"
Parker was still a little frightened and asked: "So, where is that thing?"
Alyssa looked forward again and pointed in that direction.
Only then did Parker see that the old man was standing not far away, dragging heavy shackles, baring his teeth and claws at them. But the other party did not dare to take a step further, as if there was an invisible line under his feet, keeping him nailed to that
place.
The Papalar people were so surprised when they saw this scene that they couldn't help but open their mouths and said: "What is it doing?"
Alyssa shook her head.
"What on earth is that?"
"Mr. Parker, who should I ask?"
"This... I thought you would know."
Alyssa replied a little funny: "You might as well ask Miss Tang Xin."
"Why her?"
"Because she is Mirella's pastor."
"You mean this is the undead?"
Alyssa nodded: "It's almost the same."
Parker swallowed and then asked: "Then what should we do now?"
"Of course we keep moving forward."
"Forward?" Parker looked at the old man and said a little unsurely: "I always feel that there is something bad ahead."
"Otherwise?" Alyssa changed her eyes and said, "How about you go back?"
Parker immediately changed his tune: "Then we'd better move on quickly."
When the two were about to turn around, they heard a voice coming from behind. "Who are you two and why are you here?" Alyssa was startled and looked in that direction. She saw only a little light coming from the darkness.
It lit up. A middle-aged man wearing a robe and holding a lantern came out and looked at the two people.
He was wearing a gray scholar's robe, with no rank visible on it, but not in the style of an apprentice. His temples were slightly gray, but his appearance was still handsome, and the glory of his early years could be vaguely seen, especially his gentle eyes, full of the light of wisdom.
.
It seems to give people a natural good impression.
The middle-aged man looked at the two people with a lantern, a look of doubt on his face, but then he gradually realized: "Selected people, it seems that someone has sent you to this place."
"Wait a minute," Alyssa asked softly, "Who is your Excellency?"
"Just a hermit," the middle-aged man replied: "As for the name, I have almost forgotten it, but many years ago, I seemed to have been called 'Karatu'."
"Karatu!?"
Alyssa was surprised: "Wait, you are the great wizard Karatu?"
The middle-aged man looked at the two of them again and nodded slightly.
…
The shaking underground finally subsided.
Fang Yu then lit up the crystal in the darkness and checked around. Fortunately, they were not buried under the sand and gravel. But unfortunately, the collapsed rocks buried the passages on both sides, completely changing the place.
It became a dead end.
After he settled Aitila, he put on the repaired 'Lonely King's Pride' and directed the capable angels to carry the fallen sand and gravel bit by bit to the other end. But he was not the only one in the dark tunnel.
While doing this work, on the other side, Luo Lin's sword holder was also repeating this kind of work over and over again.
The two moved in silence for a while.
Fang Yu finally broke the silence. He looked back at the other party and finally couldn't help but ask: "Why did you save me?"
Luo Lin also turned around, made a fist with his hand, put it to his lips and coughed lightly. Then he straightened up, smiled and replied, "Why not?"
"But aren't we enemies?"
"Enemies can also become friends."
"I wouldn't be friends with someone like you."
"Because I am a Dragon Worshiper?"
Fang Plover nodded.
"But for the chosen ones, is identity very important?" Luo Lin asked with a smile: "I joined the Dragon Worship Cult, that's all. As for other things, I didn't participate much. In fact, Torago
Toss still died in my hands, didn't he?"
"But you can't explain those things about Van Rick?"
Luo Lin coughed twice and laughed. But he shook his head and stopped answering.
