Aya took Li Qing and the others back to the corridor connecting the treasure house and the fifth floor of the dungeon. [Chinese.com. The Starters]

But she didn't take everyone back to the fifth floor of the dungeon. After entering the winding corridor, she calculated her direction as she walked, and after four corner steps, she stopped in the corridor.

"This is it." Aya muttered to herself, motioning for Li Qing and the others who were following her to stop, and then cast the magic of "fossils to mud" on the stone wall on the side of the corridor.

Under the influence of magic, the hard stone walls of the corridor turned into soft earth. Aya motioned for the elves to dig a hole, and the two adult male elves stepped forward to dig and soon dug a large hole more than three meters deep. After digging here, it was a hard rock formation, and Aya cast fossils into mud on the rock layer again, and then instructed the elves to continue digging the hole according to the direction she had calculated.

In this way, with Aya's help, especially under the magic of "fossils into mud", it only took about ten minutes for the elves to dig a tunnel more than 50 meters long in the hard rock formation, which ran diagonally to the bottom of the road.

Without Aya's magic, without her directions, Li Qing and others, who were not familiar with the layout of the vampire castle, would not have been able to dig a tunnel that could escape from the vampire castle in a short period of time. Even if everyone has a sharp and tough magic weapon in their hands, trying to dig such a deep tunnel in the rock formation is not something that can be completed overnight.

And if you can't leave the vampire castle in a short period of time, and wait for the battle outside to be decided, no matter which side wins, waiting for Li Qing and the others will probably become prisoners again.

Therefore, with Aya, Li Qing and the others really have the hope of escaping from the vampire castle.

Of course, the tunnel that Aya instructed the elves to dig did not lead directly to the outside of the castle. The castle is built on a hill hundreds of meters high, with a tunnel of more than 50 meters, even if it is excavated from the underground of the castle, it is far from being able to reach the bottom of the mountain.

The real connection of the tunnels is the sewers of the vampire castle.

In the vampire castle, there are a large number of evil minions. Trolls, Grey Dwarves, Orcs, Ogres, Frost Giants...... and the blood slaves of the various vampires. These creatures are not as clean and environmentally friendly as the undead.

Because of this, vampire castles also have a sewage system.

Knocking on the thin stone wall between the sewer and the tunnel, a damp and foul smell came to the face, and the two elves who were digging the hole in front of them immediately bent down and retched twice, and their tears were smoked out of the stench.

The elves in the back also covered their mouths and noses, their faces were pale and tears were shining. Some of those with shallow appetites have vomited clear water.

Elves are **** clean, and their preference for cleanliness is better than that of some humans with cleanliness. They are also very sensitive and delicate, and have lived for many years under the ancient tree of life with the fragrance of birds and flowers and the ultra-fresh air, and over time, they can't even tolerate the slightest dirty air, let alone the harsh sewer environment like a pit.

Li Qing, Chu Lingfeng, and Aya did not change their faces.

Li Qing and Chu Lingfeng had stayed in Mulan City, which was full of living corpses. There are more than 100,000 living corpses in Mulan City, and the smell is even worse than this sewer, so don't Li Qing and Chu Lingfeng also endure it? The smell of sewers alone could not make Li Qing and Chu Lingfeng frown.

As for Aya...... As a vampire, she is only sensitive to the smell of food.

She can tell whether a living person is healthy and strong by smell alone, and even whether a girl is a virgin or not by smell. But such a keen sense of smell for food is otherwise quite dull. She couldn't smell the smell of the sewers at all - vampires were undead creatures, they didn't even have hearts, and it was only natural that their sense of smell was abnormal.

Seeing that the elves were ******** by the smell of the sewer, Aya laughed with schadenfreude, although she couldn't empathize with and understand the elves' feelings.

She walked into the sewers, stepped into the calf-deep sewage without mind, turned to look at the elves, and smiled maliciously, "This is the best shortcut to leave the castle." Leave here without fear of any obstruction. It's just that for the cute elves, the environment here is really harsh! You guys...... Do you want to leave from here? ”

"I said that for the sake of the inheritance of the tribe, no matter how harsh the environment, we can endure it!" Philene El wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, said with a firm expression, and stepped into the sewer sewage ahead of Li Qing and Chu Lingfeng.

As soon as she stepped into the cold, greasy sewage, and the soles of her feet stepped into the slippery and sticky mud at the bottom of the water, a series of turbid blisters suddenly tumbled out of the water, bringing out an even stronger smell. Felyn El couldn't take it anymore and threw it up. When I vomited, I couldn't help but burst into tears.

"It's pathetic." Aya sighed with pity: "Seeing the uncomfortable appearance of the lovely elf, my heart ...... It's really fun! Oh, hehehe......" she laughed loudly: "I can't even endure such a little suffering, I think you better stay and make food for my people!" ”

"Don't gloat!" Li Qing glared at Aya angrily. Aya's laughter was slightly restrained, but the smugness at the corners of her eyebrows and eyes that built her happiness on the pain of others could not be concealed.

"I ...... I can bear it! Feline El threw up and straightened up. She wiped the tears from her face, gritted her teeth, and whispered to the elves who were still in the tunnel, afraid to step into the sewers, "This vampire is annoying, but her words are not wrong. If you can't bear this little bit of suffering, you might as well stay and make food for the vampires! ”

"I'm not that vulnerable." Herisis had just finished vomiting a mouthful of water, and when she heard Feline El say this, she immediately stood up straight, pursed her mouth tightly, covered her nose with her hands, and walked out of the tunnel and stepped into the sewage of the sewer with a fearless expression.

"Fight!" The fat mage Federer gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, lifted up his mage robe, and cautiously walked into the sewers.

Seeing this, the remaining elves also resisted their nausea and entered the sewers one after another. As soon as many elves stepped into the sewage, they couldn't help but vomit. Some young underage elves are still vomiting and crying. However, no matter how fragile the elves were, none of them deterred.

After Li Qing and Chu Lingfeng also came in, Aya pursed her lips, secretly said that she was bored, and led the team forward.

The sewers of the castle spiraled down in a stepped spiral to an underground river at the foot of the mountain. Along the way, the elves vomited as they walked, and cried while spitting. Although it was embarrassing, they all persevered.

And this way, as Aya said, did not encounter any obstacles - in order to prevent foreign enemies from sneaking into the castle through the sewers, many traps and even magic traps were originally installed in the sewers. It's just that there are ghosts in Aya, a high-level blood clan, and those traps and magic traps have naturally failed to play any role.

Aya led everyone to avoid the traps one by one, and some that could not be avoided were dismantled by her own hands. As a sixteenth-level great magician, and a high-level who is familiar with the inside of the castle, no trap can stump her.

You must know that Aya is the fourth-ranked big man in the Blood Clan's castle. She knew almost all the secrets in the castle. Only a handful of secrets held by the clan leader of her branch were not known to her, but the secrets of the sewers were not.

Therefore, under the leadership of Aya, Li Qing and the others easily and safely completed the whole journey and came to the confluence of the sewer and the underground dark river.

Standing at the exit of the sewer, Aya pointed to the turbulent water below and said:

"This dark river will flow out of the surface more than 20 kilometers away and into a lake. Although there are a lot of early warning traps in the sewers, enough to prevent enemies from sneaking into the castle through the sewers, we still set up a stronghold at the mouth of the dark river to monitor the mouth of the dark river to prevent enemies from sneaking into the sewers through the dark river.

"This time we came all the way from the sewers, and none of the traps on the way were activated, which shows that the enemy has no intention of laying down the sewers, and the stronghold at the mouth of the dark river has not yet fallen. So I'm afraid we'll have to fight one more time to get out. ”

Li Qing lightly scraped the short stubble on his chin with his fingers and asked, "How strong is the strength of guarding the stronghold?" ”

Aya wrenched her slender fingers and counted them one by one: "A thirteenth-level blood mage, necromantic magic specialty. A frost giant, four trolls, a team of fifteen orcs, and at the end of the pack a team of bone knights. All the guards, all of them are not weak, and there are no ones below level 10. And it is so well equipped that even the Bone Knight has magic weapons. ”

"All of them are level 10 or above, well-equipped? That's a bit of a tricky one. Li Qing frowned and said to Aya, "You have to help me." ”

With Li Qing's current state, he was fully capable of sweeping away the guards of that stronghold alone, but it would take a lot of time. And what Li Qing and his entourage lack most now is time. After all, the mouth of the underground river is only more than twenty kilometers away from the Blood Clan's castle. This distance is not safe, and if you delay too much time in that stronghold, it is likely to cause bad accidents.

The stronghold guards are strong, but the elves are too weak, even Philene El and Federer can't help Li Qing too much. Only Aya has the ability to help Li Qing fight quickly.

Aya groaned for a while and said, "I can help you, but I won't make a move against my fellow clansmen." ”

"No problem. I'll deal with the mage. Li Qing didn't push too much, and nodded happily in agreement.

As long as Aya doesn't paddle and is willing to help with her heart, it won't be a big deal if she doesn't deal with the blood mage. Li Qing was completely confident that he would be able to deal with the thirteenth-level blood clan mage alone, even if he couldn't kill the other party, he would be able to drive that mage away.

"Okay, let's move on." After agreeing, Aya jumped lightly and jumped into the rushing water below.

Just as Aya jumped out of the mouth of the sewer and fell towards the water below, a huge wave suddenly erupted below her. While the waves were rolling, a strong black shadow broke through the water and rushed towards Aya like lightning!.
