Chapter 172: The Dim Tunnel
Continuing to run inside, Zhao Yu was already a little out of breath. He was about to suggest a little rest, but the sudden movement in front of him made him forget about his fatigue.
"What? Do you want to fight again?"
It was Qian Hao's voice, and he had a sense of tiger and wolf in his tone, as if he was arguing with someone.
"Yes, you can come!" The sound was a little unfamiliar, but Zhao Yu could still clearly hear it.
"Come, come, who's afraid!"
"Here you go!"
At this time, Zhao Yu realized who the sound of the confrontation with Qian Hao came from! It was a troll named Kapil, who was an assassin by profession.
"Kapil!
"Captain, I'm calm, but these humans are still provoking me!"
"Ah, we are provoking you, you probably don't know which race is here!" Qian Hao shouted.
At this time, Shen Mengting also shouted forward, "Hey, what's going on in front of you?"
With Shen Mengting's shout, there was suddenly a brief silence in front of her. Then, it was Qian Hao who caught up with him.
"It's not these foreign assassins yet!
Are they looking for something? Zhao Yu's mouth grew slightly.
"I knew that those two assassins couldn't be reconciled!" Shen Mengting muttered from the side, "Really! The situation has deteriorated to such a point, why don't you know how to unite and go out!"
Zhao Yu is right to think about it. Originally, he thought that after entering the mine, he would be able to run out with a few casual runs. But who knows, they are deep in the darkness here. What's even more terrifying is that they also encountered a terrible thing that they had never imagined - the Fire Demon.
As soon as he thought of the Flame Demon, Zhao Yu thought of the person who was tied behind the Flame Demon.
Who the hell is this person? Why was he tied up behind a monster? The more Zhao Yu thought about it, the more headache he became. Another very important point is that the temperature of the fire demon's body is as high as hundreds of degrees Celsius, how could that person not die. Even, Zhao Yu sensed that the person seemed to need Zhao Yu's help, which could be seen from the man's pleading gaze.
What the hell is going on? Because he thought too much, Zhao Yu couldn't help but squint his eyes.
But at this moment, he and Shen Mengting were almost about to catch up with the large army in front.
Although the light source was very weak, Zhao Yu still saw a few people standing in front of him. They were divided into two groups, three on one side. On the other side are two foreigners.
Qian Hao was carrying a longbow, and a light arrow also came out of the bowstring. The so-called faint light source also comes from this light arrow.
"Qian Hao!" Shen Mengting beckoned and shouted.
Running close to Qian Hao and them, Shen Mengting glared at the two restless foreign assassins, "You guys...... What do you want to do again?"
"Aren't we going to do it? you should ask your companion?" Ozturk pointed sharply at the money with his hairy finger.
"Hah, what am I doing?" Qian Hao lowered his head slightly, "Didn't you come with you?" I wondered, we need to escape before we can enter that door. But what are you going to do when you come in? You just have to use the wind step, can't you just run away, why do you want to follow us!"
"We could run away, but it was temporary. Ozturk explained slowly, "You don't know the road conditions. It's only been a few paths, and we'll always meet that fire demon again. ”
That's why we chose to run through the door. Because the fire demon doesn't have the body to get inside!" Kapil said next.
Qian Hao listened very carefully, and he also nodded his head, "Yes! That's why you reluctantly went all the way with us, right?" Without leaving the other party to answer, Qian Hao directly tossed and twisted his upper body, "Ha! I believe you are a ghost! Who doesn't know the insidiousness of your assassins, how can I not guarantee that you will come and attack me again?"
"How did we sneak up on you!" Ozturk spread his hands, doing so to show off his empty hands now. Because the rapier had already been put into its scabbard, "We have already put away our weapons." It's you, and you're still pointing light arrows at us!"
"Yes, I'm just against you! Do you have any opinions?"
"Then dare you say that we are looking for trouble!"
"I'm sorry! I'd never believe a werewolf, and besides, he's an assassin by profession!" Qian Hao narrowed his eyes, and the skin of both lips rubbed together.
Qian Hao continued to confront the two assassins, while Zhao Yu looked at the people around him.
Jiang Jingwen stood next to Qian Hao, and the girl's hand was always on her chest, highlighting her current extreme uneasiness. Of course, next to the two, there is another person. That is Chen Tianhao.
The Assassin stood by in a state of utter disobedience.
"Qian Hao, you better put down your bow and arrow!"
At this time, Shen Mengting suddenly walked to Qian Hao's side, and she reached out and attached her hand to the longbow that Qian Hao had raised.
Qian Hao seemed a little surprised, he 'ah' and twisted his head towards Shen Mengting.
"It's better to put down your weapon first, so that you can communicate with the other party!" Shen Mengting proposed.
"Well, this girl still knows how to know!" Ozturk couldn't help but say 'praise' when he saw this.
Qian Hao didn't seem to accept this proposal, he gently pushed Shen Mengting's outstretched arm away with his elbow, "Hey, what's the matter with you?
Shen Mengting sank her shoulders when she heard this, "I don't believe their words. I just think...... In this situation, it's better not to make a big move!"
"What?" Qian Hao's face was puzzled.
"I believe that everyone should be very clear about the current situation!" Shen Mengting raised her pace, she walked to the middle of the two groups of people, her chest was extremely straight, "We are trapped here." Her neck tilted slightly to one side, "Outside, the sky is falling, and here it's dark. What's worse is that there is also a monster covered in flames......" Shen Mengting looked around at the people around her, constantly looking around, "chasing us." ”
"So, in such a dangerous environment. Are we going to wear each other down?"
When Qian Hao heard this remark, he thought about it. He also began to slowly lower the longbow in his hand.
"You're right!" Ozturk also spoke, "I thought there were just a few exotic beasts in this mine. But I didn't expect that there was a fire demon, and this fire demon was so big. It is clearly not something we can deal with. So, I don't think we're going to be hostile to each other!"
"Well, if you really think like that, it would be great!" Shen Mengting put her hands behind her back, "Now our top priority is to think about how to get out of here." ”
"But how exactly do you get out?" Kapil stepped forward.
"I don't know about that, but we can think together. As long as we can unite, then it will not be difficult to get out!"
Shen Mengting's meaning is very clear: in the current harsh environment, they must be united. If the internal friction of hatred continues, everyone will only die in this area.
"Yes! you're not wrong at all!" Ozturk nodded, as if he was still thinking about something, his blade-like eyes slowly moving closer in the direction of distraction.
"So, everyone should stop being hostile, let's think about a way to get out!" Shen Mengting glanced at Qian Hao after finishing her words.
Qian Hao willingly wanted to put down the longbow he was raising. However, the moment his hands relaxed, he raised his longbow tightly, "I can promise not to attack those two assassins." But now is not the time to put down the bow and arrows!"
His move seemed to have taken everyone by surprise, especially Özturk.
The werewolf squinted coldly at Qian Hao, "Hey, you archer and archer, what tricks do you want to do?"
"I'm not doing tricks! My light arrows are light-sourced, so they can illuminate the road. If I let it go, wouldn't it be pitch black around me?" Qian Hao explained.
Ozturk seemed to want to refute something, but as soon as the words came to his lips, he seemed to choke and couldn't open his mouth.
"Qian Hao is quite reasonable, then don't put down the bow and arrow!" Shen Mengting glanced at the shining bow and arrow. After that, she looked at the two foreign assassins, "You should have no opinion!"
It can be intuitively seen that Ozturk and Kapil have opinions, but since they do not have a light source in their hands to illuminate, they can only let Qian Hao hold their weapons.
It's disgusting!Ozturk grinded his teeth. The opponent can use weapons, but he cannot. This is equivalent to giving one's own half-life to the other party.
"Then since you two have no opinion, then I think we can get down to business. It's just ......" Shen Mengting raised her steps again, and she came to Chen Tianhao's face, "You should have no opinion!"
Chen Tianhao was clasping his arms with both hands at the moment, and when he saw Shen Mengting walking in front of him, he shook his shoulders casually, "What other opinions can I have?"
Shen Mengting said in a warning tone, "I hope you don't make trouble!" She put a finger to her cheek.
"Huh, what can I do?"
"I just hope you can focus on the overall situation and don't let hatred get carried away because of some conflicts in the past!"
Chen Tianhao seemed to understand something, and after glancing at Ozturk, he quickly relaxed his body, "Ahh So...... You can rest assured!"
"Hope you can do what you say!"
Chen Tianhao immediately looked at Shen Mengting. After a long time, he nodded sincerely.
Seeing that Chen Tianhao had been done, Shen Mengting turned to everyone and made a chest expansion movement, "I just told not just one person, but all of you." The situation is critical, so we must unite!"
"Don't worry, I know!" Ozturk took a step forward, and he also raised an arm, pointing his palm in the direction of Shen Mengting.
"Okay! you're good!" Shen Mengting nodded out of thin air.
The humid atmosphere spreads through the tunnel, and it seems that the air inside is very thin.
"Then I'll clarify the current situation first!" Shen Mengting stood in the middle of everyone, which made her quite a leader. Of course, this move of hers does not seem to have been stopped by the older Özturk.
"There are some things I have already said very clearly!" Shen Mengting pointed in the direction they had run in before, it was dark, "There is a scene where the sky is falling apart, and there is a monster covered in flames!" Speaking of this, she seemed to be a little speechless and stopped, and her shoulders moved with it, "That's it! The situation is very critical." And over here......" she gestured down to where she stood, "another place we don't know anything about! we don't know anything about it, and we don't know what we're going to encounter next." So...... Alas......"
"You don't have to sigh!" Ozturk raised his steps and approached Shen Mengting.
Shen Mengting sensed the approach of the werewolf, and her body instantly tensed, and she could feel that Ozturk's body was also tense. Although neither of them has reached the point of drawing their swords, they are somewhat defensive against each other.
"I've encountered no matter how sinister the environment is, and this is not the worst. ”
"Oh, is it?" Shen Mengting looked at the werewolf, "Then ask Uncle Ozturk to show us what to do!" Taking advantage of the compliment, Shen Mengting stayed away from Ozturk.
Ozturk looked around at the crowd, especially when facing Chen Tianhao, his gaze stayed for a few seconds, "Now we want to find out a question, where are we?"
"Hah, do you still need to name you?" Qian Hao suddenly raised his shoulders, and a chuckle followed, "Aren't we in that door?"
The tunnel is filled with the echoes of the crowd, and sometimes a few drops of water.
"Qian Hao, please don't interrupt!" Shen Mengting frowned, and kept glancing at Qian Hao.
But Qian Hao deliberately turned his head out of sight, and the arrow of light in his hand would always shoot at the enemy he thought at the first moment.
"Do you have to raise the bar with me, this archer archer?" Ozturk lowered his eyes, his tone tepid, but a hint of anger could be smelled in it.
"Ahh
Qian Hao's appearance looked so indifferent.
"And what do you think?" Ozturk opened his mouth, and his fangs were exposed.
"Qian Hao, don't interject casually! Unless you have any good ideas, just listen quietly to me next to you!" Shen Mengting reproached.
Qian Hao didn't make a sound when he saw this, but it could be seen from his expression that he was very unconvinced.
"Since you don't speak, then I'll continue to talk!" Ozturk kept staring at Qian Hao, his gaze did not deviate for a moment, "Where is this? Why is there a gate? Why does the gate appear out of thin air? Also, where is the end of this place?"
Ozturk was asking a series of questions as he erupted in a puff of turbidity.
Shen Mengting also began to meditate on what the other party proposed. She unconsciously poked one hand to her chin and nodded quickly.
She hid something from everyone: before entering the door, she made a point of asking about its properties. learned that Zhao Yu didn't believe that when he touched the switch, it would appear and be turned on. She knew what was inside.
'The door didn't appear inexplicably, but was operated by a special switch', Shen Mengting's mouth moved.
In other words, the gate was specially designed by someone, and it was also desirable that there would be a hidden point. If it is artificially designed, it means that something must have been placed in the door. As it stands, the odds of putting something in place is the greatest treasure.
"May I ask Shen Mengting, female swordsman, what are you thinking about now?"
Just as his thoughts were in his most focused meditative state, Ozturk's ill-intentioned voice came. Shen Mengting came back to her senses in an instant, and she hurriedly shook her head, accompanied by the words of explanation.
"I'm thinking about another question, and that's why there's a fire demon here. ”
"Well, I've thought about that, too. However, since there is treasure in this place, it is normal to have a guard!"
Ozturk mentioned the matter of the treasure, which made Shen Mengting tremble a little. Anyway, she had hoped that the two assassins on the other side would forget about it.
"Captain, you mean the Firefiend is the guard of the treasure?" Kapil asked, with a strange expression.
"I'm not sure about that yet. But considering the nature of the fire demon, I don't think it should have appeared out of thin air. It was artificially convened. ”
Hearing the words 'artificial calling', Zhao Yu seemed to have thought of something, but he had no clue where it was. Suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck through his mind.
For some reason, the man who was tied behind the Flame Demon rushed straight into Zhao Yu's mind.
Don't......
Zhao Yu had a thought in his heart, he looked at Shen Mengting, thinking about whether to tell everything he saw and heard.
And the conversation between the few people over there continued.
"Human-called?" Kapil asked, touching his fangs with his hand.
"Yes! It's a human summoning!" Ozturk didn't hesitate to let out the answer, "The Firedemons are a species born in another dimension, and it is impossible for them to come to Celos. Sometimes cracks appear in different dimensions, which gives some little fire demons a chance to take advantage of them. However, it is the little fire demon who is slightly smaller that will come to Serrus. And like that behemoth!" Ozturk raised his hands in the air, apparently depicting the height of the fire demon, "it's ...... Remember it's seven or eight meters tall. It's definitely not the kind of thing where every crack comes out. ”
"Then how did it come to the world of Celros?" Shen Mengting asked, looking at the werewolf.
"What I just said was artificially summoned. And the only one who can summon this monster is the Blood Shaman!"
"Blood Shaman!"
Almost at the same time, the term "profession" came out of most people's mouths.
"You mean there's a blood sacrifice ......"
Just as Shen Mengting's words arrived, a powerful hurricane blew towards everyone.
Everyone became alert in an instant, and the sound of a few sword draws also came into being. Everybody, you look at me, I look at you. However, as the hurricane passed, no other figures were seen.
"What's wrong?" Qian Hao was the first to speak.
At this moment, there was movement in the tunnel, and the sound of a flame surrounded everyone. After that, the surrounding area suddenly became much brighter. A large number of flames were displayed from the walls of the cave on both sides.
"This ......"
Shen Mengting found that the walls on both sides of the tunnel were full of torches. None of them noticed this just now because of the dark atmosphere.
"What the hell is going on?" a question flowed out of Shen Mengting's mouth.
