Chapter Thirteen: The Heart of the Dead II

Cyril leaned over, picked up the note, and handed it to Aranza's hand.

Aranza saw that there were not many words on the note, so she simply read it: "March 18, 125 in the Ryan calendar. This is a day I can't forget..."

March 18, 125, Lane Calendar, is a day I will never forget.

When I came back here from Xueman City and opened the door of my home, I never thought that the joy and laughter at home would be far away from me on such a day. I saw my wife lying in a pool of blood. If you also have a beloved

You will definitely understand my current mood, she is my most beloved...

I saw her diary and put it next to her. I thought someone would see this diary. Yes, those voices underground! I am sure they were the ones who took away my wife's life.

!Took away my child! And I! Didn’t notice the changes underground! Damn me!

I can no longer control myself and keep writing, I want to save them!

The handwriting becomes urgent and angry towards the end.

Aranza put down the note, feeling a sudden pain in her heart.

He thought of Jie Xi.

He had been deliberately avoiding Jie Xi's affairs, looking for all kinds of things that had nothing to do with him to divert his attention. However, he never thought that this piece of paper, which had nothing to do with him, would actually open up his heart and make him laugh.

The buried pain erupts and struggles!

Cyril noticed that Aranza's hands were shaking a little and asked with concern: "Are you okay?"

Aranza took a deep breath to calm herself down, shook her head and said, "I'm fine. Let's go and save those two children."

Hearing this, Cyril was stunned and asked: "Those monsters...maybe they have killed two children?"

"No," Aranza firmly denied Cyril's words and said, "They would not dig the tunnel for no reason. They must have a purpose. It seems that it is probably those two children."

Cyril thought for a moment and then nodded in agreement with Aranza's judgment.

Afterwards, the two of them continued to set off, using the light of the glittering stone to explore the depths of the cave bit by bit. Without the guidance of their footsteps, the two of them moved much slower, and those monsters had no souls at all, or in other words,

Their souls could not be sensed by Aranza. In any case, after the soul sensing failed, Aranza had to try to be on guard with her eyes.

On the way, the two finally found the man's body on a slope.

Not far from the slope, Cyril's keen sense of smell detected a trace of blood. Only then did Aranza notice that there had always been traces of blood drops on the ground, but the ground was too dark and filled with wet weeds.

If you look carefully, you can't find any blood stains at all.

Aranza's guess was correct. The body was carried away by the tentacled monster, otherwise the blood stains would not be in the shape of drops. The two of them looked at the ground with difficulty and finally found the body.

Just an ordinary man.

There was a huge wound on his chest, like a mark of being pierced by an iron weapon. It was the appearance of this wound that ended his life and knocked off the breastplate on his body, allowing Aranza to discover the paper he left behind.

strip.

However, at this moment, his body is not complete. Almost only his upper body and half of his head are left... The armor he originally wore is scattered around, and his limbs have completely disappeared. Aranza's only guess about this is...

...Those tentacle monsters ate his body, and they seemed to like brains...

But this also made Aranza feel worried. Since these tentacled monsters eat human flesh, perhaps the two children have already become food in their belly.

Thinking of this, Aranza couldn't help shaking her head. Even if the two children were eaten, it was necessary to investigate the origin of these tentacle monsters!

Aranza took out a cloak embroidered with the symbol of the original Principality of Lane from the Treasury Ring, covered the mutilated corpse, and said a prayer to the corpse.

He never did this ritual because he didn't believe in God. This was the first time he did it, just out of respect for this heroic father and husband.

"I feel..." Aranza stood up, looked into the darkness of the passage, and said, "We're almost there."

Having said that, the two of them moved forward again. Perhaps Aranza's prediction was accurate. The rest of their journey was not smooth. The attacks of tentacled monsters became more and more frequent. From one or two at the beginning, to groups of them later.

!

"die!"

Aranza let out a roar, tearing and slashing, splitting the tentacled monster in front of him in half from head to tail!

After getting rid of these monsters, Aranza and Cyril both leaned against the wall and made way for them. Just like they did several times before, the broken tentacles turned into blue liquid in an instant and poured in the direction they came from. As for the running ones,

As for the head, Aranza and Cyril have a tacit understanding and can kill the monster's head with the first blow.

The tentacle monster that Aranza eliminated was the last of this wave of monsters.

Aranza breathed out, looked at Cyril, and said, "Do you still have strength?"

Cyril nodded, and then shook his head the next moment, making Aranza a little confused. However, the continuous fighting did consume a lot of their physical strength, and even Aranza, who had the help of the light enchantment, felt a little overwhelmed.

"What are you...?" Aranza couldn't help but ask.

Cyril pulled up his mask, exposed his lips, and at the same time stretched out a hand to Aranza and said: "Eat."

Only then did Aranza slap her head as if she had a sudden realization, and took out two portions of dry food from the Treasury Ring, one for each of Cyril and them, and ate on the spot.

Cyril ate very fast, and Aranza could feel that she was actually very tired.

"Maybe my judgment is wrong," Aranza couldn't help but feel distressed and said while eating, "We don't know where to go at all. If we continue like this, we will either die of exhaustion or be killed by monsters... And... I

It feels like if we don’t find a way to deal with those blue liquids, these monsters will be endless.”

But they couldn't destroy the blue liquid at all. Aranza tried burning it with magic, bombarding it with magic, and pouring it with alchemical liquid, but they couldn't do anything about the blue liquid. It was okay to collect it in bottles, and Aranza did collect it.

There are several bottles of blue liquid. However, even the Ring of the Treasury does not collect many empty bottles. It is impossible for Aranza and Cyril to have the energy and time to put all the blue liquid into bottles after every battle.

.

Cyril heard what Aranza said and said, "You want to give up?"

Aranza did not answer her words; he did intend to evacuate.

Cyril's lips exposed in front of Aranza showed a wry smile and said: "I want to save those two children."

Aranza sighed and said, "I want to, too, but..."

"My father also sacrificed himself to save the people in our village..." Cyril interrupted Aranza, and she thought of his father, "The man just now also risked his life to save himself.

Child, I think, we can't let him die in vain..."

Hearing this, Aranza laughed and said: "Cyril, you talk so much today, ah, you have forgotten all the rules I taught you before."

As he spoke, he stood up, pulled Cyril up at the same time, and walked towards the depths of the crypt: "Go find those two children...and, thank you."

His last words seemed gratuitous.

"Bang!"

Sudden!

Aranza suddenly turned sideways and struck the wall on one side with his sword! At that moment, he suddenly felt a strange soul point appear on the other side of the wall. This soul point only appeared for a moment, but to Aranza

For me, this is a turning point!

"Hit the wall! Someone is on the other side!"
