Half an hour before the big explosion, Kasha and Kidd followed the traces left by Albert and arrived outside the forgotten tower.
"Do you think he will hide in it?" Kidd asked uncertainly as he looked at the escalator leading to the tower dungeon.
"This is really not a good idea for him. Unless there is some escape route that we don't know about, getting into a place like this will only lead to death." Kasha shook his head. This high tower is the home of the Bathory family.
When Elizabeth Bathory was possessed by demons and turned into a countess, her projection appeared at the bottom of the dungeon of the dilapidated tower.
Due to the wealth and mystery of the Bathory family, although this tower is located in a black wasteland, many professionals still explore it.
If there was any secret escape down here, it would have been discovered long ago.
"But all the traces we have tracked so far prove that he has entered the dungeon..." Kidd frowned and looked at the dark dungeon entrance. There was a trace of fresh blood on the sharp wooden edge.
This should be left behind when Albert used the escalator.
"Maybe...but it's also possible that he deliberately left false information. After all, he was once a legendary necromancer. Although he is not a professional tracker, he should still be able to lay out some camouflage traces." Kasha's eyes
But he looked at the bushes outside the tower. Those bushes seemed to have been tidied up by humans.
"Maybe we should split up. You continue to chase in that direction, and I'll stay here to block the exit..." Kidd also noticed something was wrong in the bushes, but he still didn't want to let go of this clue.
The Evil Contractors are all cunning bastards, and they have their own intelligence network that is different from the professionals. Who knows if they really discovered some secret escape passage under the dungeon?
"I think we'd better not do this. Although this guy's purpose of leaving camouflage traces is most likely to get rid of our tracking, it is also possible that he wants to separate us. Don't forget how he was in that small valley.
We must be vigilant about him." Kasha shook his head seriously, disagreeing with Kidd's suggestion.
"Then what should we do?" Kidd spread his hands and expressed helplessness.
"It's very simple. Judging from what we have discovered so far, these traces are quite fresh. It is estimated that they will not be left for more than half an hour. And at his current speed, if he is only half an hour away from us, we can leave him in fifteen minutes.
We can catch up with him within 15 minutes, so we can let Valkyrie and Shadow Master chase him from the entrance of the dungeon, and we ourselves will chase him in this direction for fifteen minutes. If we don't catch up within fifteen minutes or Valkyrie and Shadow Master are affected by
If there is an attack, we will return here."
As Kasha spoke, she raised her hand to summon the Valkyrie with a golden helmet.
"This is a good idea. The fifteen-minute journey should not be enough for us to escape the maximum control distance of the Valkyrie and the Shadow Master." Kidd nodded and summoned the Shadow Master.
The two of them looked at each other, nodded, and ordered the two summons to enter the dungeon, and the two of them began to continue tracking in the direction of the traces they had just discovered.
But just ten minutes later, the two discovered that they had been fooled because there were no traces left for them to follow.
This suggests that either he was flying, or that the traces in the bushes were deliberately faked.
But this guy probably doesn't have enough mana to support his "Pale Wings". Otherwise, Kasha and Kidd wouldn't be able to find so many traces along the way.
So the two of them immediately started to return, and within ten minutes returned to the entrance to the dungeon in the tower of the countess.
"The message from the Valkyrie is very vague, but the guy's shadow was not found on the first floor of the dungeon. Maybe he has already gone to the second floor." Kasha closed her eyes and felt the state of the Valkyrie, and the Valkyrie gave her feedback.
The message was that he was attacked by some monsters, but there was no trace of Albert.
"Let the summons continue to chase, let's go down and have a look." Kidd nodded, and the information sent back by the Shadow Master was similar to that of the Valkyrie.
So the two legendary professionals jumped directly into the dungeon entrance.
"Kasha, look at this..." As soon as Kidd came down, he found a suspicious shallow pit on one of the walls of the cell.
"This looks like it was pierced by a bone spear, is it Albert? But what is he doing?" Kasha touched the edge of the shallow pit, where there was also the cold and cold touch that was unique to Albert's spell.
"He's killing monsters...probably looking for some mana potion or something..." Kidd glanced at the surrounding scene and found that there were many messy pots and jars scattered around. There must have been a battle here.
The Evil Contractors will not be actively attacked by hell creatures, but the projections and clones of monsters they kill will still have hell energy and drop equipment. Of course, killing people will gain more experience.
However, the Evil Contractors generally do not do this, because the projections and clones of the hell monsters will not actively attack them. When they are attacked by the Evil Contractors, they will also fight back.
This seems to be some kind of..."enhancement device" set up by the Three Demon Gods of Hell?
I don't know if I should describe it this way.
In short, they are just a way to eliminate the weak and preserve the strong. They may even encourage those with evil bonds to attack the clones of other demon kings.
It's just that the Evil Contractor is not a fool. Unless he wants to farm equipment, how can he gain more experience from killing monsters than killing people?
"It seems that he is indeed here..." Kasha nodded and narrowed his eyes.
It was a great shame for an Amazon to be almost misled by a Necromancer who was not good at tracking and counter-tracking.
"Let's catch up!" Kidd said, and was about to burst into speed, but suddenly there was an unpleasant premonition in his spiritual sense, a call for impending disaster.
Kasha obviously felt this premonition too.
The premonitions of legendary strong men cannot be ignored. Many of them have had their lives saved by this sudden premonition.
So when she felt this premonition of danger, Kasha almost subconsciously grabbed the collar of Kidd's fur coat and dragged him towards the entrance.
"Kasha! Let me go! I can run on my own!" Kidd was almost knocked out of breath by the sudden tug. He quickly followed Kasha and shouted at her.
Kasha then released his grip on Kidd's collar, and the two quickly ran to the bottom of the entrance, then jumped up from the top entrance four to five meters high.
As soon as their feet stepped onto the solid ground, a dull roar came from the dungeon below, followed by a tremor of the ground, as if the entire black wasteland was shaking violently.
"What's going on? An earthquake?" The two staggered and continued running away from the tower, Kidd shouting loudly as they ran.
At this moment, violent vibrations began to spread outward, and the ground near the tower began to undulate and shake like waves.
Huge cracks spread crazily around the tower with the tower as the center, and at the same time, the area where the tower was located also began to sink rapidly downwards.
Endless roars came from underground, as if a giant beast was trapped underground in the black wasteland and was slowly waking up.
Kasha and Kid finally reached the edge of the earthquake zone, which was already very far away from the center of the black wasteland.
At this point, the terrifying ground cracks and shaking finally weakened completely, but the huge roar was still deafening.
The two of them stared at the tower in the central area that suddenly bulged taller with wide eyes and a sense of speechlessness - a bulge as tall as a hill has now appeared there.
Then there was a loud "boom", and the black, half-broken tower at the top of the bulge suddenly exploded. Endless blue light formed a beam of light, mixed with all kinds of masonry, rubble, broken wood and iron from the exploded
The place was sprayed tens of meters into the sky, and even the corpses of monsters and the objects in the broken half of the cell were sprayed out from there, spreading like rain over the entire black wasteland.
As the crack expanded rapidly, the size of the blue light beam ejected gradually shrank, and the huge bulge on the ground slowly settled.
When the blue light finally disappeared completely, the roar that echoed throughout the black wasteland gradually stopped.
Kasha and Kidd stared at this scene in stunned silence, with traces of cold sweat streaming down their foreheads.
Everyone is happy in their hearts - luckily I ran fast enough~
