"Glow?" Fang Yu was stunned for a moment and asked in a low voice.
The eight dark red eyes behind the dust were moving slowly, a pair of pairs of bladed feet inserted into the hard stone wall, and the behemoth roared and climbed up the gap with claws and teeth.
But no one dared to act rashly until it stopped.
Fang Yu carefully looked at the giant insect construct, and surprisingly found that the other party made no further movements, only lying on the gap and staring at him. He didn't know if that was called looking, but he always had this feeling in his heart.
a feeling.
"It seems to be looking at you?" Even the female wanderer of Yin Zhiyi noticed this and asked curiously: "What exactly is in your backpack?" Because she was side by side with Fang Plover and could not see Sika.
Pei's perspective.
Fang Heng swallowed, and said to him behind him without squinting: "Miss Scarpe, help me take off my backpack." While he stared at the giant insect construct, he raised his hands little by little, fearing that he would be disturbed by his excessive movements.
It really stimulates that damn thing.
Following his words, everyone's eyes focused on Scarpe.
Even the experienced Scarpe couldn't help but feel sweat on her forehead at this time. She took a breath to calm herself down, and secretly cursed the brat. Then she walked over cautiously, while staring at the huge thing in the gap, and saw it
Without moving, he grabbed the shoulder strap of Fang Plover's backpack.
The giant insect suddenly let out a whistle and squirmed forward.
Querod subconsciously raised his giant sword and took a step forward.
This scared everyone and screamed, and they all looked for cover in various ways. "Stop!" Scarpe yelled angrily, and at the same time, he pulled the backpack off Fang Plover and threw it on the ground in front of him.
There was a low roar from inside the giant construct insect, and it suddenly stopped. All the hydraulic transmission devices under the metal body were sinking, and oil flowed out in a trickle.
Its eyes broke away from Fang Plover for the first time and fell on the backpack.
Scarpe let out a deep breath, and her whole body seemed to be exhausted. This simple action made her break out in a cold sweat.
The backpack is really glowing, as if there is a flashlight underneath, and the thick canvas cannot cover the faint glimmer. The cyan-blue light reflects the finely intertwined lines of the canvas.
Fang Yu was startled when he saw this light: "Is this...?" He suddenly remembered something, with a look of disbelief on his face, and rushed over to open his backpack eagerly.
Seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help but sweat for him. Scarpe looked at it carefully - fortunately, the giant structure seemed to be asleep and motionless, only looking at it with dark red eyes.
The movements of a square plover.
Fang Plover's hands were covered with blood scabs and his movements were clumsy. Scarpe shook his head and walked up to help him, "Thank you, Miss Scarpe." Fang Plover opened the cloth cover of his backpack, and the light suddenly became brighter.
, he was stunned for a moment, and then he picked up the thing with both hands.
The light blue light suddenly brightened, and Fang Plover seemed to have taken out a small sun from his backpack. The light reflected his face white, and the dazzling light even made the surrounding area darken. In the center of the light was a
A crystal dagger, blue and blue, with gorgeous silver ornaments carving out its guard and hilt. Angels spreading wings and singing birds surround the radiant goddess, and the light is represented by bright silver lines.
, showing the superb craftsmanship of the producer.
The dagger is star-shaped, and there are straight lines hidden in the crystal blade, forming the magic circle of the alchemical formula. This is a very high-end design idea, usually only used on those battle tools that require a lot of magic power. It is just a cloth on the crystal. It was covered with hideous scars, and one of the cracks even destroyed its structure from the inside.
The light radiated from the cracks for no reason, seeping into every inch of the corner it could enter, the gaps between the soil, vegetation and the stone slabs of the ruins.
With this bright light reflected in the depths of his eyes, Fang Yu couldn't help but be stunned - wasn't this the dagger Miya gave him?
A strange idea suddenly came to his mind. Although a voice tried to tell him that it was just a coincidence, he couldn't help but think about it. "Ed?" Scarpe called him.
But Fang Plover seemed to have never heard of it.
At this moment, the giant insect construct suddenly let out a low whimpering sound and stood up. Everyone was so frightened that they all took a step back. Only Scarpe grabbed Fang Plover and tried to drag him away. Lord also stood on his other side.
Fang Plover was still in a daze.
The giant insect crawled along the wall like a long black dragon, and the hard wall cracked like flour under its feet. This was the first time everyone saw its full appearance - it was suffocatingly long. , it was astonishingly fast, its huge head had arrived in front of the young alchemist in the blink of an eye, its long trunk stretched across the entire wall - the tail at the other end was still under the gap, and the head could not be seen at all.
The giant insect stopped, and its four pairs of eyes stared condescendingly at the tiny boy under its eyes. The distance between it and Fang Plover was less than ten feet.
You can almost smell the steam in the air.
But the temperature is dropping instead.
The woman in Yinzhiyi was so cold that she trembled and said something inaudibly: "Its core crystal is ice feldspar. Ancient alchemy can make it absorb heat and convert it into magic power... Also, it is not just what you see. It’s so big…”
But no one cared what she said, everyone was frozen in place.
Scarpe's hand stopped on Fang Plover's shoulder, not daring to take another breath. She carefully moved her vision upwards, looking at the giant construct beast - there was also a low roaring sound coming from its body, like A pulsating mechanical heart, in the midst of its vast trembling, makes the humans around it seem even more insignificant.
A crumbling wall collapsed from the side, and the rubble rolled to Fang Plover's feet with a crash. Only then did he wake up, look at the behemoth, and subconsciously raised the dagger in his hand.
With a roar, the giant insect construct moved upwards, with four pairs of dark red eyes raised high. Everyone was so frightened that they swallowed, and Scape's hands turned white.
But after a while.
It also took no further action.
Fang Yu breathed a sigh of relief and then carefully put down the dagger.
Accompanied by the dull roar of the boiler, the huge metal head slowly sank in accordance with his gesture, and its dark red eyes moved accordingly, always focusing on the dagger in his hand.
It opened its mouth slightly, and the oral cavity made of steel was full of dark red gears, the color of dried blood and rust.
"Give it," Scarlett said softly.
"But... that's Miya's dagger." Fang Yu was in a dilemma.
"I knew it was that damn woman," Scarpet spoke louder: "Throw it over quickly, do you want her to kill us all?"
It was at this time that the situation changed again.
Fang Yu didn't even notice that on his blood-stained hands, fresh blood from the wound was seeping into the crystal. At this moment, a strange item quietly appeared in the upper left corner of his field of vision:
Dragon Knight system is loading, self-test carrier——
Then a whole set of interfaces hung down like a waterfall. Pages of windows opened in his field of vision, as if they were completing self-examination work. Countless data and graphics were reflected deep in his eyes. He was very familiar with that UI.
It is the basic window for the Chosen One.
But it all seemed like an illusion, disappearing in an instant, leaving only a single entry.
The Dragon Knight system is loading, the self-test failed, and no carrier crystal was found——
In the end, even this sentence faded out of sight, like the passing sand leaving no trace.
The whole process was completed in less than half a second. Fang Yu blinked, suspecting that he had an illusion. "Did you see anything?" he asked with some confusion.
Of course everyone saw it.
But what they saw was that the radiant crystal dagger was rapidly losing its brightness in Fang Plover's hand and became dim. The change in light was so great that Fang Plover also reacted, and he turned around just in time to see
The scene where the dagger is completely darkened.
The female wanderer of Yin Zhiyi suddenly made a surprised voice: "On your forehead..."
But a deafening roar made everyone couldn't help but cover their ears, and even made them feel sick and dizzy. The sky above everyone's heads suddenly made the giant insect construct stand upright, almost as high as seven or eight stories high.
Look at everyone condescendingly.
Fang Plover held up the dagger that had completely lost any luster.
The giant insect looked at him with four pairs of dark red eyes coldly, waving countless metal blades, emitting a whistle whistle from its body, and then suddenly sank down.
"Get away!"
The last thing he heard was Scarpet's scream.
Someone pushed him from behind.
Total darkness.
I don't know how long it took, but when Fang Pulou woke up, he didn't even know if he had returned to the star port. He couldn't see his fingers around him, and his body felt like it was splitting. He groaned and finally remembered what happened before.
.
This at least meant that he was still in Etalia. He felt his heart pounding and pulsing powerfully in the darkness, but his heart gradually calmed down. Fang Plover tried to move, but was surrounded by gravel.
This place seems to be in an underground tunnel, and there seems to be water seeping somewhere nearby, making the sound of dripping water.
He groped for a while, but couldn't find his backpack. Fortunately, there was a box of matches in his pocket. He lit the match, and the bright fire illuminated the dark underground. This was a low corridor, and the fire outlined every block. From the gaps between the stones, twisted roots grew from above, spreading everywhere on the floor.
The flames reached the tip of his finger, and Fang Plover quickly threw it away.
The fire went out, and the surroundings returned to darkness.
This place seemed to be on the lower level of the ruins building. They seemed to have arrived here together with the collapsed superstructure, but the others went somewhere unknown, as did the terrifying giant structure.
Fang Plover lit the second match.
The orange warm light made the underground tunnel somewhat warm, but the shadows of the stones and roots were long. The square plover kept his head low and walked forward cautiously. No one had set foot in this underground area for who knows how many years. As the firelight extended forward, he saw many colorful beetles moving under the roots, which made his scalp numb.
The sound of dripping water got closer and closer.
Suddenly, a pale face appeared in front of him, but the fire suddenly went out.
Total darkness.
Fang Yu's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly lit the third match, and the light shone brightly again. Sure enough, he saw that it was Scarpe, and most of her body was buried in gravel and soil. Underneath, his face was pale and lifeless, but his hands were still holding tightly to his huge backpack.
Fang Plover felt a heavy blow.
He threw the match on the ground, rushed over and pulled Scape out from under the gravel as if desperately trying to save his life. The wound on his hand soon opened again, and blood flowed profusely, dyeing the soil below red. But Fang Yu didn't realize it and dragged Scarpe out from underneath.
"Miss Scarpet."
"Miss Scarpe?" Fang Plover whispered the other party's name, but did not receive any response. He suddenly recalled the voice before, and understood who the person who pushed him away in the end was, and his nose couldn't help but feel sore. It was hard not to let tears well up.
But at this moment, a low cough came from the darkness, weak and powerless.
Fang Plover was so surprised that he seemed to have won a lottery. He quickly lit the match, and the bright and warm light illuminated Scarpe's unhappy expression. She said weakly: "Can't you be gentler?" But she saw Fang Yu's hands were trembling slightly, and his hands were bloody and bloody. The words he said later were somewhat choked in his throat.
The light of the match also reflected on Fang Plover's face, and he couldn't help but laugh with tears in his eyes, as silly as a child.
"Childish." Scarpet shook her head slightly.
Fang Yu didn't care and wiped the corners of his eyes. In the flickering light of the matches, the corridor was low and suffocating, with dark shadows lurking. This world was not as perfect as he imagined.
But, it's okay.
"Miss Scarpet, can you move?"
Scape rolled her eyes at him: "Do you think I can move around?"
Before he finished speaking, the entire corridor shook, and dust fell from the ceiling. Fang Plover raised his head alertly, and clearly felt that the source of the earthquake was above his head, and the thing hadn't even left yet!
"It seems that it depends on you." Scarpet actually laughed and teased him narrowly.
Fang Yu was not as optimistic as she was, and said with a little worry: "This place collapsed from above, and there will definitely be no way to stop it. We have to leave this place quickly, and I will carry you." He thought for a while. "...I don't know.
How are Mr. Quelord and the others doing?"
Scarpe didn't dare to think about this problem, but the Dawn Star Adventure Group must have been finished. The smile on her face faded, and she looked a little sad for a moment. She asked softly: "Can you afford it?"
Fang Yu nodded, and he walked over and opened his backpack - the dagger Miya gave him had long ago disappeared. He didn't know whether he was happy or sad, so he only packed some necessary things and took them with him.
Then he took out the bag of money from his arms, looked at it again and again, and stuffed it into his backpack. Then he took the Type 7 musket and hung it on his shoulder.
He planned to carry Scarpet on his back, but the latter grabbed his arm and said, "Wait a minute." She looked at his forehead carefully.
Fang Yu was stunned for a moment. "What's wrong?"
"I have a box in my pocket, please take it out."
Fang Yu did as he was told. He found that it was really a small box. After opening it, there was a small piece of soap and a small round mirror with a steel surface. He immediately understood what Scape meant, and Scape also said
A match was lit, and the fire became bright again.
Looking through the mirror, Fang Plover saw a strange emblem on his forehead.
That must be a star.
It was drawn with very light white lines in the center of his forehead. If you didn't look carefully, you couldn't even see it. It was an eight-pointed star, very delicate. He looked at it for a while, and it completely blended into the skin.
among.
"What is this?" Fang Plover had a question mark on his face.
But Scarpe didn't know for sure, and could only speculate that it might have something to do with the dagger. She asked Fang Pulway to retrieve the dagger, but the shaking in the corridor became more and more violent, and there was no time at all.
"Let's talk about it later." Fang Yu shook his head.
"No." Scarpe stared at him. She vaguely thought of something, but she didn't dare to confirm it yet.
Regardless of the opponent's objections, Fang Yu directly picked her up and ran towards the front of the corridor. As soon as his front feet left, the corridor behind collapsed with a bang. Seeing this scene, Scarpe stopped talking.
Although Fang Plover does not have the level of strength of the War Chosen One, his physical fitness is pretty good, and he is more than capable of carrying Scarpe, who is just a lightweight female elf ranger.
His whole body hurt as if he was falling apart, especially his hands, which were bleeding all the time. Fang Pliant gritted his teeth and remained silent.
The two of them were walking forward in the darkness. Fang Plover couldn't tell the direction and could only follow the corridor. He could faintly feel that the thing was chasing behind him. As long as he slowed down a little, he could feel the vibration of the ground.
It seemed, as Miss Scarpet had said, that it depended on him.
Scarpe was in a bad state. She squinted her eyes, leaned her head on his shoulder, and murmured in a dazed state: "I didn't expect you to have such a manly side, little guy, I know a girl..."
Fang Yu felt something bad in his heart. Scarpe had begun to lose consciousness, and something would happen sooner or later if things continued like this. He had only two options now, one was to take her out of the dead zone, and the other was to find a cure.
But getting out of the ruins was not easy. Not to mention the Silver Forest Spears and the Jeffrite Red Team outside, he couldn't even deal with that ghost thing that had been following behind.
But the latter is just like a fantasy. There are not many healing methods in Aitaria. Apart from healers and some limited potions, there is no other method. And Elsa has died long ago. She is the Star of Dawn.
The only healer.
As for whether there are other healers in the ruins, there is another question. Even if there are, Fang Plover feels that the other healers may not help him. At this moment, his heart is full of negative thoughts about the Grand Guild.
How to do it?
Suddenly, a bold idea flashed through Fang Plover's mind like lightning.
