Chapter 161: The Abyss
The terrible screams made the little wizards feel a chill rise from the soles of their feet and brush from their backs, making people can't help but shiver and make strange gurgling sounds.
"What's the sound?" Several restless little wizards looked at each other, their hands clutching their wands tightly, and soon a thin bead of sweat oozed from their palms and wands.
"John, do you see where the others are gone?" Louis held his wand vigilantly, the glow of the fluorescent flicker making the already well-lit room a little dazzling.
"No, Coombe has always liked to be the last one or walk alone, and he disappeared as soon as I came in and turned around. Passerby A answered Louis's question for John, who was also confused.
A trace of cold air blew by, and Louis's eyes lit up, and he took a deep breath, searching in the direction of the fresh air, which was a heavy door that had been opened.
No one knows who or what awaits them behind them, but as a man of action, Louis has always believed in a saying: "Instead of sitting still and waiting for the final result, take the initiative to try, for better or worse." ”
But a hand grabbed him, and Louis looked back to see a pale John. As a traditional Frenchman who was more afraid of no one than cowardly, John was obviously greatly frightened by the screams just now.
"Lu, Louis, where are you going?" John stumbled and asked, even though the cool breeze of the night was blowing, Louis could still clearly see the sweat building up on John's forehead, sideburns, and neck.
"I went to look around, and it was clear that the teacher didn't just send us here. With a hint of decadence and a brave smile, Louis made the girls around him forget their fears for a while, and their eyes turned into stars.
"But the old man just said that we should stay here, and not go to other houses, and not disturb the rest of the castle. John's hand was still clutching the corner of Louis's robe.
"You and Ada stay here, don't move, and don't explore separately. Louis reluctantly poked his friend's hand with his wand, looking distressed at the wrinkles that had been held out of the corner of his robe.
"As for me, I'll go to this next room and have a look, I won't go too far, and if there is any danger or other discovery, I will come back in time to tell you, and then we can act together. ”
"Look for death. The poisonous tongue Lori Ida attracted the dissatisfied eyes of the surrounding classmates with one mouth, but she continued to do her own thing, "Here we are just visitors, running around against the will of the master, and we are also acting separately, don't we die fast enough." ”
Louis squinted at Ada, admitting that what Ada had said made sense, and that waiting here would be a good solution, but he wasn't sure how long it would take.
In the previous adventure world, many young wizards noticed a magical thing, that is, the speed of time in each world is different.
The most powerful proof of this is that no matter how long they spend in the adventure world, they will return to the real world just in time for Defense Against the Dark Arts class.
But they don't know the exact time ratio, and they don't know what they want to do in this world to end the course.
Tick, tick, dark red blood flowed down his soaked shirt, and he lowered his head in disbelief, and a sharp blade shyly popped out of his heart.
Pasilber turned his head to look over, and the man behind him still disappeared into the shadows. "Why, Coombe, why did you kill me......" he couldn't believe why his classmates would stab him in the back.
Qom's voice sounded, but the shadow obscured the location of the sound source: "You just came here, how can you know the route here so skillfully, and how can you find something when everyone is acting together." ”
Pasilber's body staggered, as if he couldn't hold such a serious injury and was about to die, but if he looked closely, he did staggered and kept approaching Coombe's position.
"You're just keeping the Assassins in the shadows, but unfortunately, you don't know that every time you make a move, you're going to make sure your target dies! The sound of breaking the air caused Coombe to roll to the ground, catching only a dark shadow in his eyes.
The guy who had been identified by Coombe as apparently not Paslerber himself attacked wildly, muttering something "It hurts, it hurts, it hurts." ”
After several narrowly avoided attacks, Qom finally had to face it head-on, although there was indeed a berserker school within the Assassin family, who adhered to the credo that "killing all witnesses is a perfect assassination".
Qom's mentor, Mr. Cicero, had always opposed this method of acting against the Assassins' intentions, and forbade Qom to do so.
Another sneak attack, which was really impossible to dodge, used the magic power in his body, and the light blue membrane shield appeared in front of him, forming a fierce collision with the attack.
"Tentacle monsters?" In the pale blue light, Coombe finally faintly saw the appearance of the creature that had once disguised itself as his classmate.
The slimy creature is like crushing every bone of a human being, and then crumpling it into a ball, while stretching out many tentacles and constantly waving its teeth and claws, waiting for an opportunity to attack.
That's a real problem.
Qom frowned, as an Assassin, he had received numerous training in critical assassination, as well as stealth training, since he was a child. Although he can't be the legendary assassin of the Kuding school in the ancient East, he is also familiar with the physiological structure of various known creatures.
But this kind of thing in front of you...... You tell me what's the key to the sludge tentacles? I can only choose to fight a protracted war of attrition that I don't like the most or do the least good at.
At this time, in another section of the castle and the mansion, a group of actionist wizards led by Ida and Louis left the restaurant, and as a first step in their exploration, they first returned to the foyer where they had passed through as soon as they entered the mansion.
The magnificent two-storey foyer looks particularly eerie and hollow at the moment, and even the brilliant light reflected by the tall crystal lamps has a cold feeling on the body.
"Let's take a look separately, I'll go to the second floor and take a look, you guys go and take a look left and right. Louis pinched the ring on his finger, a strange upturn at the corner of his mouth.
