Chapter 19: The Female Leader
The passage was long, at least in the light of Chris's torches, and there was no end in sight.
The cold water droplets that fell from the top of their heads kept hitting several people, and slowly some small white particles appeared on the wall, Lin Xiu didn't care about it at first, but as he continued to move forward, the white particles around him slowly became larger, turning into a green water ball, the largest water ball was even the size of a person's fist.
The water balloon has an emerald green appearance, which is attached to the wall and expands one by one, and through the firelight, you can see the curved strip figure under the mucous membrane.
"What is this?" Lin Xiu asked, pointing to the water balloon.
"Unheard of, unseen!" this thing, even the experienced Brooke could only exclaim.
"They are alive, but they are devouring dead breath and growing. Mavis expressed her opinion, a little curious about the creatures inside.
It stands to reason that creatures that devour the breath will eventually be affected by the breath and eventually turn into monsters that are unconscious and act only on instinct.
But this strange creature is self-conscious, and she has just tried to control what is inside the mucous membranes, but to no avail, which is the best illustration.
"Chris, get it out. Lin Xiu pointed to a strip-shaped monster wrapped in a largest water balloon beside him.
"Good. ”
The mucous membrane didn't look like a sturdy thing, and Chris picked up the wet pickaxe on the ground, holding the knight's shield in front of him, carefully peeling away the mucous membrane.
Zizi!
The iron pieces at the tip of the pickaxe, which have been corrupted by the years and have produced yellow particles, are covered with a layer of emerald green solution, and bubbles are constantly bubbling.
Smack!
A milky white bug falls to the ground.
"Adults back off, dangerous. Chris held a shield to cover Lin Xiu's retreat, in the face of the unknown, human beings are always afraid from the bottom of their hearts, that strange slime can actually corrode iron pieces, and what will this little bug do?
Lin Xiu took three steps back under Chris's cover, but the bug did not attack everyone, just straightened up and looked at everyone with eyes the size of peas, and then slowly crawled into the other side of the dark passage.
"No hostility, where did it go?"
Of the three monsters I've seen so far, in addition to the dead bats, which have a certain threat, the walking corpse and this white worm are like a joke.
With such a garrison force, let alone guarding the secret realm, even the combat power of a goblin tribe is stronger than this.
"Follow along. Lin Xiu whispered, no matter what, he needed to collect as much information as possible about the secret realm, the more intelligence he collected, the higher the safety factor of the villagers who came in to carry out the excavation work in the future.
"Hmm", Chris carried his shield, cautiously moving forward, he had seen the corrosive power of the green solution, he did not dare to approach the cliff.
The deeper he walked through the passage, the bigger the blisters became, until Lin Xiu finally saw a wooden door, the largest blister was already the size of a face plate, and large and small blisters spread all over the sides of the wall.
Some of the blisters had burst, and a thin layer of green puddles had formed on the ground in front of them.
"My lord, are you still leaving?" At this moment, even Chris's scalp was a little numb, if they happened to have a blister burst when they walked over, and in the face of the emerald green solution flying everywhere, there was no place to hide.
"Mayvis, do you have a way to summon skeletons?" Lin Xiu asked as he turned back to his cheap sister.
"Brother, there are a lot of Xiaobai buried in the ground here, and I can easily summon hundreds of Xiaobai, but their combat power. "The little white here can't even compare to the strength of the white bone goblins who didn't advance before, and to be honest, Mavis really doesn't look down on them.
"Not so much", Lin Xiu pointed to the wall in front of him: "Clean up these things, two walking corpses are enough." ”
Mayvis nodded, chanted a short incantation, and shot the pale ball of light condensed in her palm into the depths of the earth.
The ground loosened, and two emaciated walking corpses crawled out of the dirt with a scream.
In order to make the work more effective, Lin Xiu suggested that Mavis let the walking corpse find some tools.
One of the walking corpses picked up a shovel, and the other picked up a pickaxe and began to clean up.
Smack.
Smack.
Smack.
For every fist-sized blister that the two walking corpses opened, a white bug fell to the ground, and all of them landed through the crack in the wooden door and entered the chamber in front of them.
Lin Xiu was sure in his heart that there must be something in that secret room!
The cleanup of the two walking corpses was relatively smooth, only when the blisters were just broken, the emerald green solution and the ground water beach converged, and a puff of green smoke would come out of the soles of the walking corpses, which made Lin Xiu's heart nervous, and nothing abnormal happened halfway.
And the green smoke from the soles of the walking corpse's feet only lasted less than a second before dissipating.
Lin Xiu estimated that this change should be a reaction between the emerald green liquid and a certain substance in the air, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, if this corrosiveness had always existed, he could only look at the wooden door and sigh.
The last blister burst, the soles of the two walking corpses turned into white bones, and with a wave of Mayvis's hand, the two walking corpses slowly fell to the ground.
After waiting for another minute, Lin Xiu let the team move on.
The emerald green solution has long corroded the solid stones on the ground to be soft and sticky, and stepping on it with both feet is like walking into a quagmire, and it is easy to fall if you don't control your center of gravity well.
"Everybody be careful, watch your step. Lin Xiu reminded.
As we got closer to the wooden door, a strange hissing sound came from the other side of the door.
Lin Xiu was alert, after the white worms just landed on the ground, they all poured into the back of the wooden door, what was behind the door?
"Chris broke the door, and the others paid attention, and if there was danger, don't fight, and immediately retreat to the platform. "According to the current environment, behind the wooden door is the BOSS room, even if the monster in front of it is bad, this BOSS should have some ability, in order not to capsize in the gutter, Lin Xiu has to be cautious.
The wooden door was old, and in order to prevent it from being attacked by monsters behind the door, Chris chose to kick the wooden door away, and the scattered wood chips flew upside down into the door.
This was a small room of less than 30 square meters, and through the firelight, Lin Xiu saw a huge white ball hanging in the middle of the house, and the white worm that had crawled into this room before was spinning hard at the white ball.
Chris's way of breaking the goal was very large, but it didn't make the white worms react at all.
There was a white worm that seemed to have vomited all its silk, dragging its weak skin bag past Lin Xiu and the others, without even raising its head to take a look, it climbed directly onto the wall outside the secret room, and its body slowly shrank, and finally turned into a white crystal.
"What are they doing?" Lin Xiu's question this time was directly addressed to Mavis, because he knew that the current situation was no longer something that Brooke could explain.
Pointing to the white ball hanging in the air, Mavis said, "I can sense that there is a lifeform in here, this lifeform is very powerful, but it is sleeping now. ”
As soon as Mayvis's words fell, the white insects suddenly stopped spinning and made a screeching sound.
"Damn! these sounds are sure to wake up the sleeping monster!" said Brooke, the last member of the team, as he covered his ears and looked at the slightly shaking white ball.
"Let's go, get out of here!" Lin Xiu didn't care about continuing to investigate the situation of the secret realm at this moment, even Mei Weisi said that it was a powerful lifeform, even if he gathered the combat power of Li Yan and Chris to defeat it, it was impossible to escape, and escape was the only choice.
Lin Xiu's party reacted quickly enough, but the soil on the retreat was too soft, and Brooke fell to the ground in a panic.
"Brooke, hurry up. ”
Brooke fell, Lin Xiu's heart was in turmoil, and Mei Weisi's strength was simply not enough to pull Brooke, who was dancing with his hands, up from the ground.
Lin Xiu squeezed to Mayvis and grabbed Brooke's dancing hand: "Brooke, calm down! ”
Brooke turned around, the horror on his face turning into substance: "No! ”
Lin Xiu hurriedly looked, only to see a huge white ball break through the middle, and a naked woman fell to the ground, at the same time, a voice came from Lin Xiu's ears: "Help me." ”
Lin Xiu's eyes were confused, and his feet unconsciously walked towards the woman.
"Your Excellency. ”
Chris woke Lin Xiu up with an angry shout, and Li Yan appeared in front of Lin Xiu in a flash, pulled out a short knife as a defensive gesture, and stared nervously at the woman in the room.
"Brother, you were bewitched by his spirit just now, let's get out of here quickly. After Mavis helped Brooke get back on his feet, she returned to Lin Xiu's side and pulled Lin Xiu's sleeve to let him go.
Lin Xiu's heart was shocked, when he heard the woman's voice just now, his body moved uncontrollably towards the woman's position, this was the power of spiritual bewitchment.
"Don't go, I'm a female leader, help me, I've been here for countless years, you're the only one who comes in, only you can help me break the spell on my body. ”
The woman didn't use the power of the spirit this time, but spoke directly, but when she heard this, Lin Xiu was even more shocked than when she heard about the spiritual bewitchment.
The female kui, the daughter of the emperor, was incarnated as a dry kui after being occupied by part of the soul of the dragon, and it is rumored that she has a huge heat, where she walks, the land is dry and the zombie ancestor who does not grow a single inch of grass within a radius of thousands of miles!
"Legend has it that you were killed by Ying Long?" Lin Xiu stopped retreating, and his mood was no longer so nervous.
Although the female leader is a zombie, judging from the historical documents, she is not only kind-hearted, but also a great woman who dedicates herself to love.
At the mention of Ying Long, the head of the female leader sank, and the scenes of the past came back to her mind, that day she went out for her father and finally became ugly, that day she was declared to be degraded to mortal dust, that day she watched her lover's sword pierce her chest, that day she saw him cry.
"Ying Long", two lines of tears swept across the delicate cheeks of the female leader.
Seeing the sadness that touched the female leader, Lin Xiu changed a question: "How do you want me to help you?"
The female leader looked up at Lin Xiu slightly: "Just take me out, someone has helped me before, but it didn't work, but you are different, you are a citizen of Yanhuang, I think if it is you, there will be a way." ”
In this way, the female leader didn't know if Lin Xiu could take her out, and she did it just for an opportunity.
Anyone who has been in a small space for thousands of years will get tired of it, and as long as there is the slightest hope, they will try to fight for it.
"Don't, my lord, this woman's origin is unknown, take him out for fear of trouble. Chris said suddenly.
The female leader has a force that even Mei Weisi fears, and once she leaves here, if the female leader suddenly attacks, they can't suppress it at all.
"No, she's not who you say she is. Lin Xiu said affirmatively.
Although Lin Xiu only learned about the female leader's personality through historical documents, which may have a certain deviation from the facts, the records of historical documents cannot be groundless, so he can be sure that the female leader is not a big traitor.
Lin Xiu walked up to the female leader, took off his coat and draped it over her body, and asked softly, "Can you walk?"
"It's been years since I've passed, I'll try. Lin Xiu's actions made the female leader a little ashamed, although she had lived for thousands of years, she was asleep most of the time.
Until now, she is still the little girl who is bent on love.
The female kui stood up, and as soon as she took a step, her legs and feet were weak and she almost fell, but fortunately, Lin Xiu quickly grabbed his hand and pulled her back.
Looking at Lin Xiu's intimate movements with the female leader, Mei Weisi pouted a little angry.
With her hands on Lin Xiu's chest, the female leader took a step back with a flushed face: "I think I'd better use the Aerial Technique!"
Lin Xiu is not a restless Yanagishita Megumi, just now when he touched the delicate skin of the female burly, his heart was pounding, and he touched the back of his head with a red face: "That's fine." ”
As soon as the female leader flew out of the room with everyone, a dazzling blue light suddenly appeared in the middle of the room.
"What's going on?" Lin Xiu asked.
"It's a circle that connects to other places. "The female leader doesn't know the six-pointed star array, but she is speculating with experience.
Lin Xiu, Chris, and Li Yan glanced at each other, and their hearts became lively.
"Your Excellency, there may be a more powerful existence than the female leader on the other side of this teleportation circle. Brooke immediately stopped, this time thanks to the female leader who was not hostile to them, otherwise they didn't even know how they died, but he didn't expect that his village elder hadn't learned his lesson and wanted to jump into a teleportation circle when he saw it.
The female leader closed her eyes for a while, and said to Lins: "There is an evil aura on the other side, although it is not strong, but it is not something that your current strength can deal with. ”
As soon as the female leader said this, Lin Xiu immediately let go of the urge to die in his heart.
The group came to the entrance again, Lin Xiu's hand was placed on the iron door, the iron door opened, and everyone returned to the basement one by one.
When it was the turn of the female leader, the female leader hesitated for a moment, took the last step, and finally left the forbidden land that had locked her for thousands of years.
