Chapter 2536 Separation of paths and deviation (twenty-nine)
At the same time (?), in Cairo's black market, outside the ruins of a certain church.
Bedivere and Lawrence had just walked out of the passage of the Brotherhood's secret base when someone hurried from behind and caught up with them.
"Wait, Mr. Bedivere?" The person who came over was Elder Karzan. Because he was running, he was already panting when he caught up with Bedivere and others.
"What's wrong?" Bedivere asked unhappily when his actions were interrupted.
"I was embarrassed to throw cold water on you at the Brotherhood's base just now, but..." Elder Karzan took a breath and continued: "You can't just go to the Comoros Islands. Underground over there.
Cave is one of the most dangerous terrains in the world, and you need the right guide and the right equipment to go there."
"Is it really that exaggerated?" Bediwell said a little disapprovingly, "I'm not a novice adventurer, I believe ------"
"[Pan's Labyrinth]," Karzan interrupted.
"What?"
"The other name for the underground limestone cave where [Lightstone Mine] and [Hydrotalcite Mine] are mixed. In today's geology, it is called [Pan's Labyrinth]. The person who originally gave it this nickname was simply a genius.
Because this kind of underground cave is indeed so scary--the unstable strata can collapse at any time; the complex and highly repetitive cave system makes it extremely easy for people to get lost and lose their sense of direction; and there are also crisscrossing currents that flow from time to time.
There are underground rivers around the cave, as well as various caves that are so deep that you can't even see the bottom. Not to mention the unique ecosystem in [Pan's Labyrinth], including all kinds of extremely poisonous insects, ants, and vampire bats.
Without the right guide who is familiar with cave exploration, it is almost impossible for a novice caver to come back alive."
"Wow..." Bedivere hummed in reply.
"Elder Cattelan...well, the impostor, of course there is a reason why he would choose that kind of underground cave as a hiding place." Geologist Karzan added: "He is the light stone over there.
The owner of the mine, he has explored these underground caves countless times, and he is far more familiar with the terrain than you are - far more familiar with the terrain there than anyone else in the world."
"That's why adventure guides are needed to balance this gap." Bedivere said thoughtfully and began to listen to what the other party said.
"I'm just a geologist. I haven't received any combat training, and I don't even have good physical strength. If I follow you, I will definitely become a loser. But I can help you find a suitable guide. I believe that person will be able to lead you.
Get in and out of [Pan's Labyrinth] safely." Karzan continued: "So please wait a moment. About five minutes will be enough. The guide I hired has arrived quickly with the equipment needed to explore the cave."
"Okay, if it's just five minutes." Bedivere shrugged.
"But every minute of delay, the risk to the lives of the hostages over there will be higher." Lawrence reminded him jokingly from the side.
"The hostages can wait. We can't risk our own lives just because we are eager to save others." Bedivere also said jokingly.
"Boss, when you say this, I don't even want to explore any underground caves. Why don't you go with the guide and I stay here to look after you? Hahahaha~~" Lawrence continued to joke.
"Actually, this is exactly my plan. I hope you can guard the entrance of the cave and intercept the fake Elder Cattelan who is trying to escape from the entrance of the cave." Bedivere said: "That guy must be more familiar with the roads in the cave than us. Ordinary people."
The pursuit may not be able to catch him at all, and it may turn into a hide-and-seek chase. Only by intercepting him from both ends can we increase the chance of catching that guy."
"The premise is that there is only one exit to the cave, haha." Lawrence laughed.
"If he takes us on a hunt for hide and seek and then runs away through the back door, there's nothing we can do about it." Bedivere smiled bitterly. This was not entirely a joke: "I hope the interception operation is really effective."
While the two were chatting half-jokingly, a bright spot in the distance quickly approached.
"That's...a cavalry? But why does it fly so crookedly------"
Pound!!------ Before Bediwell finished complaining, the bright spot that was approaching rapidly in the distance had landed in front of everyone in an extremely rough way------The cavalry hit the ground diagonally.
Go up and make a deep cut in the sand outside the ruins.
The smoke was thick and the dust was flying. Bedivere and Lawrence suddenly lost their mood for chatting, and were replaced by a series of coughs.
"Cough cough cough cough cough...what the hell..."
"Hey, little fur ball, we meet again!" In the dust that was gradually settling, a sturdy figure slowly walked out.
"You are..." The werewolf youth squinted his eyes to observe the figure. In the gradually disappearing smoke and dust, under the sunlight, the first thing he noticed was nothing else but the flash of light above the other person's head.
"Bald man." Bedivere replied subconsciously.
"What the hell are you bald, bald!? Just calling someone bald is too much, isn't it?!" Gladiator Bereld complained violently.
"But he's really bald." The werewolf youth focused his attention on Gladiator Bereld's bald head, which was shiny and shiny in the sun.
If he has a bad memory, he can't remember other details about the other person, but he will never forget the bald head. A bald man is a bald man. It is rare to be so completely bald, so unconventional, and so prominent in his personality.
Things. Just seeing the bald man... no, the bald gladiator Bereld, Bediwell will immediately think of the fierce battle in the Round Table Trial Arena.
Although it could be regarded as a hearty battle, it was definitely not a pleasant memory. If it hadn't been for good luck and a little cleverness, Bediwell would have almost been defeated by Bereld.
"Is this guy what you call a [cave guide]?" The werewolf young man then turned to ask Elder Karzan.
"That's right. Mr. Bereld is a great explorer. We have cooperated many times before this. Considering that you and him once had a battle in the ring, I believe you should have known each other for a long time, right?"
"
"Yes...the world is such a small place." Bedivere hummed.
"I ignored the past grudges and came here to help you, little furball." Bereld grinned and said, "Who made me and Elder Karzan have such a close relationship."
"Thank you very much." Elder Karzan answered: "Then I'll leave it to you to communicate on your own. I'll go back first."
"See you later." Gladiator and Elder Karzan exchanged a few brief greetings before bidding farewell to each other. At the same time, he also took out a well-preserved box from the tail storage box of the cavalry that "crashed" just now.
Large aluminum alloy box: "First of all, let me hand over the equipment to you."
"Is this...?" Bedivere asked as he watched Bereld open the box. What he saw in the box was a pair of alloy claws...or gloves...
..Such a weapon. Its shape is a bit unique, and it is obviously larger than Bediwell's hand.
"This is a tool called [wolf claw]." The gladiator fiddled with the piece of equipment in front of Bediwell: "You, a wolf, use the wolf claw. Haha."
"It's not a funny joke." Bedivere snorted.
The other party completely ignored the werewolf youth's sarcasm and continued: "Please note that it is not a weapon, but a climbing tool."
"ha?"
"It would be better for me to demonstrate it to you in practice." Gladiator Bereld took out one of the [Wolf Claws] from the box and put it on his right hand. It was as Bediwell expected, even if Bereld was like this
The burly man wore this piece of equipment, and it was still a whole circle larger than his palm. However, the claws and finger cots that seemed to be made of high-hardness alloy were not put on Bereld's big palm. The entire [Wolf Claws]
] In fact, only the wrist part is wrapped around Bereld's right arm like a wrist wheel, and the remaining part is like a huge palm attached to the back of Bereld's right hand.
"It is embedded with a dynamic sensing device, and the super alloy fingers will move with your fingers." Bereld moved his fingers, and the five big fingers of the [Wolf Claw] that fit on the back of his palm also moved.
It moved along with him, delicately reproducing the movements of his hands, only in a larger circle.
"Use this to easily grasp the slippery rock walls in the cave. You will never be able to grasp it with your own hands. If you grab it a hundred times, your hands will slip one hundred and one times, and then you will fall off the rock wall.
He fell down and died."
"What's the matter with one more time? And he fell to his death once he missed it. How could there be a hundred and one slippery hands." Bediwell complained.
"That's not the point." Gladiator Bereld hummed, and at the same time stretched out his hand to aim at the ground in the distance.
Whoosh! The front half of [Wolf Claw]'s hand was launched, and it instantly grasped the rocky ground in front of it. The front and back half of the wolf's claw were connected by two steel cables as thick as a thumb's head. It looked very
Looks solid and reliable.
"I know, this is used to grab the rock wall in the distance." Bediville said, "It's like a sling."
"Correct. It saves lives at critical moments ---because you never know whether the stone wall you grab is really reliable. The underground limestone cave of [Pan God's Cave] is very fragile and fragile. Sometimes a
The grabbing point can only bear your weight for a few seconds, and then it will collapse. You must find another grabbing point before falling. And------"
Bereld retracted the front half of the [Wolf Claw]. I don’t know how he controlled the rewinding of the steel cable. There seemed to be a very complicated mechanism inside the [Wolf Claw]. He had just retracted half of the [Wolf Claw] palm.
, the five alloy claw fingers of [Wolf Claw] were immediately launched. They split into five, flew out like missiles, spread out, landed on the ground in the distance, and then caught them firmly
There are also steel cables on the ground and claw fingers. The steel cables are probably slightly thinner than the little finger. It feels like they are made of very strong material. Each steel cable can probably bear the weight of a person. (To be continued.
