Chapter Seventy-Six: The Shortcut

Poof!

In the blood light, a bright silver dazzling eye, like a gorgeous waterfall!

A large head rose into the sky, and a fountain of blood gushed out of the cavity, flying the top of the person's head. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Ling Qi shook his sword, spilled a few drops of blood, and then leaned over to face the headless corpse, like carrying a human shield, and followed his whole body into the cave.

Then there is Leo with a bow and arrows, the strings are in his hands, and the arrows fall into the bag.

He still didn't take the offensive, he was vain, ready to attack at any time, only a few steps slower, and then followed Ling Qi into the cave!

As the name suggests, the Silt Cave is a natural cave on the river's bank, and the cave is full of silt and is very wet.

During the flood season, water will accumulate in the depths of the cave, and most of the body will sink into the mud if you are not careful, and it will be difficult to walk.

Fortunately, it was late autumn and winter was approaching, although the silt in the cave had not yet frozen, it was not inconvenient to move.

Otherwise, a fool would use this as a stronghold, and the muddy environment and some accompanying things are enough for a pot to drink.

Nature is fair, and intelligent beings can learn a variety of skills and use a variety of aids to improve their quality of life. However, in those really harsh natural environments, only birds and beasts with mushroom hair and blood can live freely.

A green-skinned lizard fell from the top of the cave with a whizz, Ling Qi heard the wind, his eyelids didn't move, and he sharpened his sword casually, and this foot-long scavenging amphibian creature immediately became two, fell to the ground and struggled.

The dim environment made people's visual distance drop significantly, and even Ling Qi could barely see twenty meters away.

He was cautious, not only to be wary of robbers who didn't know if they had spotted an enemy attack, but also to avoid some troublesome little things, such as the green scorpion lizard just now.

was bitten by this little guy, and the injury was small, and the poisoning was called trouble. This pure biotoxin is easy to dismantle and is sufficient for ordinary universal antidotes.

Of course, it would be better to suffer less than he suffered, and besides, he had limited supplies with him.

Along the tunnel, I slowly moved more than 20 meters inward, but I still didn't see the end.

This cave was deeper than Ling Qi imagined, no wonder the movement of the corpse landing did not attract the enemy, Ling Qi was originally ready to meet the head-on attack, so he came in with the corpse, but he did useless work.

He didn't mind either, and continued to move quietly.

Judging from the fact that the green scorpion lizards in the cave have not been cleared, it can be seen that this gang of robbers does not attach importance to this stronghold and should have no plans to settle down for a long time.

In fact, the average adventurer does not have to find a cave in the wild to camp, and large groups rely more on natural bunkers than small groups. In particular, rogue bandits and bandits wander around committing crimes, often carrying a lot of supplies, and they can't set up camps with great fanfare, so caves and crypts have obviously become their best choice.

Ling Qi carefully explored the possible forks in the tunnel, trying to figure out the number of paths.

Annihilating the enemy's living force is only one of the goals, finding Scarface and killing him in one fell swoop is the point, if you can get some benefits by the way, this trip will be even more perfect.

He didn't expect to be able to accomplish the task 100%, that is, to kill the thief leader at the same time, but also to completely destroy the bandit group, which was too difficult to do.

The strength of this gang of robbers is obvious to all, and they dare to follow their party all the way to Cloor, and they have made a series of moves, showing that they have no fear.

In the face of such a strong enemy, if you want to be blinded by lard again, the result will be unpredictable.

The only thing that doesn't know for sure is whether or not Cusa stayed in the thieves' lair. But no matter what, there is always a profit or loss on this trip, and if you are more cautious, there will be no windfall!

Sure enough, before he reached the end of the tunnel, Ling Qi found two forks, one on the right side, blocked by a gray boulder, which almost blended with the color of the wall, and he couldn't see it at all if he didn't look carefully.

At the foot of the other is a secret door sprinkled with loess.

He walked over to the wall and tried to push the boulder, which seemed to be embedded in the wall, but it didn't move. He searched around again, but found no mechanism for opening the fork in the road. Ling Qi secretly guessed that either this road was really blocked, or the mechanism that controlled the boulder was on the other side, in short, this road was impassable.

Then he stepped back, came to the secret door, swept away the dirt from it, and crouched down to observe.

It was a wooden flap that was supposed to be locked in reverse, about a meter square.

Wood is wood, no matter how much it is locked, it can't change the fragile nature, and it is not a special wood species.

Sure that he could open it, Ling Qixian did not impulsively smash it, but went down more than forty meters along the passage, turned a corner, and walked out for dozens of steps before exploring the end of the normal path and coming to a hall!

The so-called hall was just a slightly larger cavern, with torches lit inside, and there were two or three people walking back and forth.

Ling Qi glanced back at Leo to inquire, and the Wood Elf shook his head at him, indicating that it was impossible to deal with these people silently, that was beyond his ability.

He decided to go back to the secret door he had discovered earlier, ready to knock it open.

The tunnel was dim, and only people like Ling Qi and Leo could see in the twilight.

There was not much movement in the pry board, probably due to the fact that the wooden door had begun to decay.

After a moment, looking at the black rumbling hole in front of him, Ling Qi frowned.

Although it looks like a secret door, it's hard to guarantee that it's not a trap, and who knows what's inside.

For the sake of caution, he still took a fire fold from his bosom, broke it open, and threw it down.

At the same time, the wood elf was already half-kneeling on the ground, and the arrow was wound, as long as there was the slightest movement below, it would be a fatal blow immediately!

Wow~

The flames burn violently in mid-air, and this special fire fold is very useful, with some flammable ingredients added to it, and the ignition lighting is excellent.

Shout!

Kerra!

The firelight suddenly illuminated the space underneath, and before Ling Qi could react, the wood elf had already shot an arrow, followed by the sound of a large number of bones shattering.

Slightly frightened, Ling Qi looked intently, only to see a pile of white bones on the ground, and an arrow was clearly inserted into the center of the top skull.

Skeletons?!

He was intrigued by this necromancy and was not disappointed by its low combat power, in fact he was extremely interested in any supernatural power.

The sound of the Wood Elf's arrows was extremely low, and although it was not completely silent, it did not attract enemies from the depths.

Ling Qi looked down again, and found that it was a boxy and narrow space, probably less than ten square meters, with some ordinary materials such as linen piled up inside, as well as a few boxes, stacked on top of each other.

The chamber is almost surrounded by walls, and there is only one exit, which is blocked by a large wooden board, which must be considered a door. This is probably installed by later people, and people's living habits are different from animals after all.

The whole space is clear at a glance, there are no mechanisms or anything like that, and only the skeleton that was shot by Leo can move.

Seeing that the height of the ground from the entrance was only two meters, Ling Qi raised his head and made a slight gesture towards Leo, and then jumped down directly!

Landing softly, he didn't check the boxes first, but came to the exit, and listened through the plank, and there was silence outside.

At this time, Leo also jumped down, and covered the plank with him.

Only then did Ling Qi look back and find that there were a few hemp ropes hanging from the secret door on the top, even ordinary people could climb up along them.

Sure enough, there's a back door.

Ling Qi sighed slightly, then walked to the edge of the boxes, inserted the blood-stained long sword in his hand into the lock, clicked, and violently unlocked the lock!

Boom! Boom!

After a few muffled sounds, the boxes on it were opened one after another, and all that was locked up were some copper and silver coins, and even steel hammers, although they were all money, but they had no value to be carried.

He didn't have a space ring, and a sack of steel hammer on his back could be worth a few gold coins.

I rummaged through the unbelievers, and really let him find a small box of jewelry in a certain box, but unfortunately they were all defective, and he directly used the leather bag prepared in advance and threw it to Leo, and finally gained a little.

He walked over to the skeleton again, rummaged through it curiously, and found that it was a pile of ordinary bones.

When Leo saw his movements, he couldn't help frowning, and whispered:

"These are evil creatures, and only filthy necromancers know how to make and manipulate them."

Ling Qi turned his head and smiled, nodding his head to show that he understood, but he felt a little regretful in his heart.

Leaving this storage room, less than ten meters after walking out, Ling Qi heard a human voice from the wind.

"Hi ~ Berna, do you know what the boss is doing this time?"

"He actually entrusted Dracula with such an important matter as the first cooperation with the Black Bow, why didn't he give you the task of sucking the waste that only knows how to suck Skuma?"

It was a woman who spoke, and she shouldn't be very old when she heard the voice.

Soon, there was a suppressed snort from the same direction, clearly unpleasant, and fearful of the unseen authority.

"You mother-in-law, where there are so many things, the leader does things, naturally he has his reasons."

"I'm okay, look at the bear, what a good man, just because he has repeatedly provoked the authority of the leader, what is the result? has been suppressed from the position of second-in-command to a small leader, and this time he gave his life. ”

"Dracula is the boss's fellow countryman, such an important task, of course, it is best to hand it over to his henchmen!"

Having said that, even Ling Qi, an outsider, could hear the resentment in this guy's tone.

The woman didn't answer, probably without anything to say.

After a while, the sound of tearing clothes appeared accompanied by the moans of the woman and the gasping of the man.

Ling Qi sneered slightly, the head of the secret thief was actually not there, and he really went out, but he didn't know where he went.

He waited for a few more minutes, until he was sure that both of them were at their most intense burning with primal desire, and then he continued on.

Passing through the tunnel of the Black Hole, there is not a hall in front of you, but a three-way intersection, and you can only choose to go left or right from Ling Qi's position.

The road in front of him was obviously relatively wide, at least two meters, nearly twice as wide as the tunnels Ling Qi had walked through before, and there should be torches along the way, scattered and scattered, not bright, but enough to illuminate.

He looked out and found that it was a straight passage, close to a hundred meters on the left and right, and empty.

The passage resembles the main pole of a tree, with many forks along the way, shadowed by dimly lit torches.

And where Ling Qi is currently is one of the forks in the road.

As for the sound of men and women colliding mixed with primitive desires, it came from the right direction, and Ling Qi followed the sound of the wind, and could even distinguish which fork in the road it was!

He didn't hesitate and walked straight in the direction where the sound came from.
