In front of them was an empty stone hall, dark, but somehow, there was no light, but they could clearly see an old man standing in the center of the stone hall with a cane, staring at them quietly.
"Where are we?"
"The escape tunnel beneath the village."
"Where are those villagers? Just ignore them?!" Cohen asked.
"The greatest protection for them is that we leave." Rosdam replied in a low voice.
"Be careful next time." Rosdam said seriously, "I'm not joking this time. If we're not careful, we may die here."
"I've encountered this kind of thing too many times." Cohen said with a carefree smile.
At this moment, the old man in the stone hall opposite made a move. He began to stare at the three people with his cloudy black eyes.
The first one was Daryl. He stayed there for five seconds before slowly looking away.
The second one was Rosdam, who stayed for three seconds.
Finally came Cohen, who only stayed for more than a second.
"He is making a mark..." Daryl in front whispered. "The death mark... This means that the three of us are the targets of his death."
"This is an ancient ritual. It is said that ancient witch doctors believed that staring deeply into a person can leave a seed of consciousness in the person. It can create a thread of destiny between the two.
This thread can give the witch doctor the whereabouts of the other party within a certain time range."
"This is also a ritual that expresses determination to kill." Rosdam smiled bitterly, "We are on his must-kill list."
"Why don't you give him the pages? It doesn't matter what happens to us, right?" Cohen asked in a low voice.
The other two people immediately glared at him. Cohen immediately waved his hands.
"Okay, okay, okay, don't glare at me, I just said that casually out of ignorance."
"Run back!" Suddenly Daryl shouted.
A faint buzzing sound suddenly came from the stone hall.
It was like the sound of a swarm of bees. Cohen, who had experienced such a tragedy before, immediately turned pale. Without saying a word, he turned around and ran away.
The three of them ran away like crazy along the cave passage.
Cohen turned around and took a moment to take a look. Goosebumps suddenly appeared all over his body.
In the cave behind them, countless small white insects were swarming and crawling. These maggot-like insects all had a pair of transparent wings that flapped rapidly and sharply. They chased towards the three of them.
He could even see the insects' sharp mouthparts like blood-sucking mosquitoes, like embroidery needles shining with white cold light.
Countless white insects were like a torrent. They rushed towards the three people and flowed forward along the cave passage.
At this moment, a fork in the road suddenly appeared ahead. Two intersections, one on the left and one on the right, led to different directions.
"Go this way!!" Cohen turned toward the side passage.
"Be careful!" A hand pulled him back.
A huge round stone ball in that passage was slowly but surely loosening.
coax!
The stone ball, which was more than four meters high, suddenly became loose and rolled. It rolled towards the passage between the three of them. The old man's face flashed across the surface of the stone ball, as if it were an hallucination.
"I'll wipe it!!" Cohen was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. If he had just run there, there would be stone balls blocking the passage in front of him, and countless man-eating insects behind him, he would probably be dead by now.
"You can't run away." The old man's voice seemed to come from a distance, faintly visible.
"Go to hell!" Cohen shouted.
Whoosh!!
Suddenly, a sharp stone flew past him, hitting the stone wall in front of him with a clang like a bullet, causing little sparks to fly.
"Come again!!" Cohen yelled.
The three of them began to dodge left and right, constantly avoiding the powerful rocks shot out from the insect swarm behind them.
The old man behind him kept waving his cane. Stones flew out automatically and hit the three people in front of him.
"There's more ahead!!" Daryl screamed.
The other two people raised their eyes and looked over. Sure enough, a huge white stone ball rolled in from the front, with a diameter of more than five meters. Gulugulu seemed to be able to crush all fragile things in the cave into debris. Similarly, the surface of the stone ball shone with light.
Hallucination of old man's face.
"Left!!" I don't know if it was Daryl or Rosdam shouting.
Cohen couldn't tell who it was anymore. He only had time to instinctively roll to the left, and immediately rolled into a small space.
Rumble...
The stone ball crashed past the three of them.
"Cohen..."
Cohen suddenly seemed to hear someone calling him, and he looked along the sound.
I saw a big hole suddenly opened in the passage where the stone ball rolled past. The light shone down and a figure jumped in.
"Cohen, hand over the lucky stone clock." This man is a handsome white-skinned man with short golden hair, capable and strong, and has a cold and powerful aura.
Cohen and the three others had no time to pay attention to him, because after the insect swarm behind was knocked back by the boulder, the old man's figure caught up from behind again. He seemed to step out from among countless insects, and strangely avoided the impact of the boulder.
With a wave of his cane, there was suddenly another rumble in front of him.
Rosdam followed closely behind, and Cohen could only run at the back.
"Get away!!"
Another huge stone ball rolled over.
Daryl didn't know how he made another depression in the stone wall, and the three of them hid in it decisively.
The stone ball thundered towards the blond man who was catching up behind him. The latter had no time to dodge and had no space to dodge, so he faced the stone ball head-on.
"Tragic..." Cohen couldn't help but mourn for this guy. This was simply an unreasonable disaster.
Just then.
boom!!
In an instant, there was a loud noise, like a bomb exploding.
The boulder was smashed to pieces. It broke apart. Between the countless gravel and dust, the blond figure walked out with a stern expression.
"Cohen, hand over the lucky stone clock." Garen slowly walked out of the middle. Countless bugs were flying around him, but they were strangely dying layer by layer, and soon accumulated a thick layer on the ground around him.
.
Cohen was running wildly forward when he suddenly heard a loud noise behind him. When he turned around and saw this scene, he immediately stopped and almost fell to the ground.
"I'll rub it...this guy is even stronger...!"
At this moment, the mysterious old man at the back screamed wildly and connected his staff.
The huge stone balls rolled loudly, and five or six of them rushed out, but they were smashed directly by Garen's punch one by one. Each punch was like an explosion of dynamite, which was extremely terrifying.
A group of people suddenly lost their voice and gasped when they saw Garen smashing stone balls away like balloons.
"I'm going to fuck your whole family! Cohen, where did you get this monster from?" Rosdam finally lost his composure. This was an unexpected change. It was a situation completely out of his control.
"I don't know either! I don't even know him!!!" Cohen yelled.
The two of them ran away frantically, following Daryl. The huge stone ball chasing them from behind became their hope of intercepting the pursuers behind them.
"Cohen!!!" Garen roared, and he opened his hands. In an instant, the huge stone ball was split into two halves.
"What the hell! Don't chase me!!" Cohen started running wildly, howling like a ghost.
A group of people ran in front, and Garen chased behind. From time to time, huge stone balls blocked his pursuit. The last mysterious old man seemed to be irritated by Garen. He roared loudly and kept summoning sharp pieces.
Flying rocks hit Garen. These flying rocks also became resistance for Garen to catch up.
Garen was furious.
He was only distracted for a moment when the entire army encountered a large group of crazy beasts and was almost dispersed.
After a burst of heavy weapons fire, part of the herd was slaughtered, and then the troops were organized and moved forward.
Then there was another earthquake-like vibration. Just as we were about to reach the village, the ground suddenly shook violently, and the entire village sank directly into a dark ring underground deep trench.
He was able to avoid it in advance, but the team was not so lucky.
More than half of the weapons of the Nighthawks were interfered with by this deep trench.
Then that Leiber sneaked out again and fired cold shots, and then fled into the underground passage when he chased him.
Finally, there was another earthquake, and the team that had just been integrated was scattered again. Garen, who was furious, directly ordered them to disperse and massacre, killing everyone they encountered!!!
A series of accidents made him furious. He came for revenge, not for an outing!
After finally finding the movement underground, I decisively broke through and jumped down. I happened to meet Cohen's group.
If the lucky stone clock is offered to your mouth, you will naturally not let it go.
So it became the current situation.
The three people in front are running, Garen is chasing in the middle, and the old man is last in the back.
Garen was extremely annoyed by the old man's interference, but he was afraid of turning around to deal with the old man. The person in front of him had disappeared. He was frightened by today's series of accidents without warning.
Anyway, as long as you find Cohen, Leiber will not be far away, you can also get the secret of the lucky stone clock, and everything can be solved and sorted out.
boom!!!
Another stone ball was inserted by him casually and cut into two halves.
"Oh no! Cohen, didn't you say you were being hunted just because of ordinary antiques?! How could ordinary antiques provoke such inhuman beings? Are you kidding me?!" Rosdam couldn't bear it anymore,
He cursed loudly. It's no wonder that these two people can become close friends. In times of crisis, they have similar personalities.
"This was not the same person before!!" Cohen replied, but he still had the energy to reply. His face was covered in sweat and he looked like he might die at any time.
"Throw the lucky stone clock to him!!" Rosdam was about to cry without tears.
"Right away!" Cohen agreed repeatedly and quickly took out a small white thing like a porcelain bottle from his body.
He quickly threw it back.
The vial immediately spun and flew out, and was accurately caught by Garen behind.
But he just glanced at the vial and continued to catch up.
"Oh no! Why is he still here?!"
Rosdam was helpless.
"How the hell do I know!!?" Cohen was about to collapse. His physical strength was almost exhausted. If he continued running, he doubted whether his heart would beat too fast and die.
"What's that floating thing?" Garen's sharp eyes saw something like a black book floating in front of the three of them. It looked very high-end. "Give me that and I'll leave."
"I wipe..."
The three people in front of them suddenly felt powerless, their emotions focused on the document page.
Isn’t it the same as the beginning after going around a circle? (To be continued...)
