Am I dead?
No, not yet.
Because Yueying felt that he was standing, he touched his body and found that he was still wearing clothes.
Luckily, not naked.
Since you can stand, you can walk, although I don't know if there is a road ahead, but now I can only go forward.
Without a sense of fear of the dark, Tsukizakura took this step.
Well, it's physical, and the kind of ending that Tsukizakura envisioned with one foot falling into the abyss didn't happen.
The first step is to go out, and the second step is very simple.
One step at a time, one step at a time, all the way forward, and then, Moon Sakura turned back.
Nothing, still like that.
Yueying blew in frustration, crossed her hands on her hips, and said, "Haven't you come out yet?"
There was silence, and Tsukizakura suddenly felt like a fool.
"You brought me in, what do you mean if you don't show up?"
"There's got to be a little bit of mystery. β
It's the same Moon Sakura's voice, but it doesn't come out of Moon Sakura's mouth. Yueying was not startled, but already knew about it, and said dissatisfiedly: "Enough, I still have something to do...... There's no time for you to waste here. β
"Really?" In the complete darkness, something finally appeared, and that thing was the second [Moon Sakura].
Looking at the person in front of her who was the same as herself in appearance, voice, and dress, Yueying snorted, "Say, what's the matter?"
"I can't help it, but now you seem to be in trouble. The second Tsukizakura smiled wickedly, which made Tsukizakura very uncomfortable.
"What's the matter? I've had a lot of troubles, but I've been able to fix them. β
The second Yueying suddenly stepped forward, pointed at Yueying's chest with her hand, leaned into Yueying's ear and said, "The trouble that can be solved is not a trouble." β
Yue Ying was stunned, and the second Yue Ying had quietly retreated.
"Pluck out the dragon, I've been bored long enough. β
Tsukizakura struggled to get up from the ground, falling from a place where she didn't know the height, and Tsukizakura was now like she was falling apart.
However, it's already good that you didn't die.
The dragon fell to the side, and after Tsukizakura picked it up, she began to observe where she had fallen.
Obviously, this is a very common dungeon in literature, and the location of Tsukizakura is probably the end of the dungeon somewhere, there is only one road, dark and damp, and there is a rancid smell in the air, and those who can be locked up here are usually death row prisoners.
I didn't see anyone else, so I guess I fell somewhere else. But it also means that you can encounter that powerful wizard at any time.
Just by seeing that he can suppress everyone in an instant, he knows that Sarierieri is far stronger than everyone, not just level 6, maybe level 7 above, if anyone touches him alone, it is estimated that he will not escape death.
Gotta find it quickly.
Without thinking about other options at all, Tsukizakura saddled the dragon on her back and began to follow the only path.
There were torches on the walls along the way, but there was no way to illuminate the dungeon, but Tsukizakura could still see clearly, and this made him hesitate a little - there was something black on the ground, slimy and disgusting to step on. As long as you are a normal person, you don't want to stay here.
But so far, Tsukizakura hasn't encountered an enemy, which is good news.
Naturally, after walking a long way, there was a fork in the road ahead, and by the light of the torches, Tsukizakura could see the reflection of oil on the wall, and the shadow of a person - a shadow?
Tsukizakura took down the Wyvern and slowed down.
The owner of the shadow was obviously not himself, but in the fork on the left, and after Tsukizakura slowed down, he could also hear the footsteps coming from ahead, very soft, and a little anxious.
Who is it?
Timing it out, Tsukizakura jumped out.
"Wow!"
Because of the fright, the two people shouted out at the same time.
"What, it's you, don't be scary!" Blue Moon stroked her chest, and the moon cherry that suddenly jumped out startled her, and the effect was even more outstanding in this environment.
As for Yueying, it was because she saw the blue moon and forcibly took back the action of swinging the knife, and now her wrist hurts, and she has to pretend that there is no such thing.
"Have you met anyone else?" As soon as she asked this sentence, Yue Ying knew that she had asked the wrong question, and she could see at a glance that there was no other person behind Lan Yue.
"No, you're the first person I've met since I got here. β
"What together?" Tsukizakura pointed to the remaining path.
"Of course. β
The passage of the dungeon did not allow two people to walk side by side, even two children, so Tsukizakura was in front and Blue Moon was behind, trotting down the passage.
"Have you been to this place?"
"No, it's the first time...... I think it's a place that Catalina made specifically to save us. β
"Manufacturing?"
"She's the owner of this fantasy, and it should be easy to make extra space. Lan Yue analyzed: "It's the same as changing the furniture in your own room." β
"Didn't you build your own room?"
ββ¦β¦ It's just a metaphor, a metaphor!"
Because of the voice of the young man, the dungeon is no longer so dark, of course, mainly because the owners of the voice are young and beautiful, if it is replaced by a relatively ugly person, it is estimated that the effect is not so good.
"By the way, how did you ...... [know] the guy named Sarieri?" Tsukizakura pondered the vocabulary, and finally used the word that didn't fit at all, which made Blue Moon roll her eyes.
"To put it simply, when I was running around with my men, I found him hiding in a cemetery in a town spreading plague, and then my men and I rushed in and smashed it...... No, justice. β
"What is he spreading the plague for?"
"I don't know, but there must be a conspiracy, when my men and I broke through to his lair, Sarieri was summoning something, in this case," Blue Moon said proudly, "I succeeded in destroying his plot!
"If summoned...... What will happen?"
"I guess I won't see you, I'll die there on the spot. Lan Yue pinched his fingers and said, "After all, what he wants to summon is a bone dragon. β
"Bone Dragon?" "Tsukizakura suddenly stood still, and Blue Moon, who was following him, didn't react and hit the back of Tsukizakura's head. "You mean the bone dragon?"
"yes, what's wrong?" Blue Moon covered her nose, which was already a little red.
"Actually...... Wen Yu and I came here to track down a bone dragon. Yue Ying told Lan Yue about the duel between him and Wen Yu, as well as the attack on the dueling arena by the bone dragon, and after hearing this, the latter suddenly said, "No wonder that sister named Alice will beat you, you will definitely annoy your companion if you run away rashly." β
"Uh...... I don't want them to be in danger. β
"No, the meaning of companionship is to share weal and sorrow, and when you do this, you just make them feel that you treat them as a burden, and no one will be happy. Lan Yue said seriously: "If you meet your companions in the future, you must apologize!"
Yueying tilted her head, thought about it, and sighed, "You're right, I'll apologize." β
Blue Moon nodded in satisfaction, then clasped her hands and said, "But according to your description, that skull dragon is a bit strange, why is it a human skeleton aggregate? β
"Well, I don't know if there's a problem with the bone dragon, but now we have more important questions. Yueying pointed to the front and said, "There is no road ahead." β
About ten meters in front, a wall stood there, blocking all the way.
"We were ...... before Didn't miss the fork in the road?"
"Probably not. Tsukizakura stepped forward and touched the wall, "Isn't there a way out of this place?"
"Impossible!" Blue Moon retorted, and began to grope around the wall, "I think there should be some mechanism, I'll look for ......"
Ten minutes later.
Tsukizakura yawned.
"Did you find it?"
"You're here to help, I'm the only one who can't find everything!" Lan Yue said dissatisfiedly.
"Actually, you don't have to look for it. Tsukizakura stepped forward, "Trouble let's go." β
Lan Yue took a few steps back with a question mark on her face.
"Did you find the mechanism a long time ago? but I couldn't find ......?"
Yue Ying stomped her foot, turned back to Lan Yue and said, "Actually, this wall is not thick, right?"
An ominous premonition came to Blue Moon's mind.
Before she could question it, there was a loud bang.
Tsukizakura retracted her kicked foot and gave Blue Moon a thumbs up, "Look, it's solved." β
This kick was very powerful, directly kicking this wall open a big hole enough for people to pass through, and Tsukizakura took the lead in getting in, not afraid of the traps that might be inside.
"I don't think anyone will use the method of tearing down the wall when they have no way......" Seeing that nothing happened after the moon cherry blossom passed, and the blue moon could only follow it. Although they had only known each other for a little more than a day, Blue Moon already knew a little bit about Tsukizakura's temperament - a little messy, a little unbounded, but generally reliable. Therefore, it is not too abrupt to make a direct demolition of the wall, but it is more difficult to accept at first.
Behind the wall, there is a huge space, which is different from the passage of the dungeon, and it is still bright without visible lighting, and it can be seen clearly from any corner.
So, the two of them simply saw Catalina in the center of the field, in this huge space, she was just an ordinary little dot, and the sharp-eyed Tsukizakura barely realized that it was Catalina and nothing else.
"Why is she here?"
"She made this space, and it's normal for her to be there...... Let's go over and have a look?"
Halfway through the two of them, there was a rumbling sound on the side of the fieldβit was the sound of the stone wall opening, and after a while, Alice stepped out of the open door.
"I'll just say there's a mechanism!" Blue Moon waved at Alice.
"It's easier to dismantle. β
Alice met with the two and nodded, seeing that they were both safe and sound.
Then, the three of them gathered around Catalina.
"Honorable Outsiders, please defeat the source of the black mist. Catalina said with a nodding salute.
"No, she can only say this, did she really say so many things just now?"
"What are the conditions...... The name she was told before was a condition, but now it'...... Not sure what it is. β
"Black fog. Alice nodded.
"The source of the black mist, but ......" the three of them looked at the smiling Catalina, "you can't kill her, can you?" After saying this, Blue Moon noticed that Tsukizakura was seriously putting her hand on the handle of the flying dragon.
"You're really going to try!"
"How do you know if you don't try!"
When Moon Sakura and Blue Moon were arguing, Alice didn't get involved, but her body trembled violently.
"Yes...... Ambush. Alice squeezed the words out of her mouth and was about to fall.
"Alice?"
"Sister!"
The two hurriedly supported Alice, only to see that Alice's face was blue and black patches appeared on her neck.
"Poison ?...... No, it's a plague!"
"That's right, damn little cub. With a shrill laugh, Sally Eri appeared in the corner of the room, "I didn't expect it, I'll be invisible!"
After the laughter ended, Sarieri pointed at Tsukizakura and Blue Moon with a dry branch, and her rock-like face took on a joyful arc, "This time, no one will come to save you!"
