Chapter 35: The Way Out

The next place Shore stepped into looked like a conference room, with a large table in the middle of the room, surrounded by chairs, most of which were too old to decay.

But it was a strange place for Shore, who swore he had never been here, and that he would never have the chance to be here, but it was as if she had seen everything before.

"Your Excellency!" a man's voice suddenly appeared in his ear, and Shore jerked his head, but saw no one.

And when he turned his head, he saw only a few people in armor standing in front of him, and the figures of these people disappeared from his face again in the blink of an eye.

It must have been too nervous, Shore reassured himself. It must be because of this, it seems that everything just now must be my hallucination.

Shore tried to find a map of the fortress, but no matter where he searched and couldn't find what he was looking for, Shore finally had to admit that maybe the map was not found at all.

"It's annoying!" Shore kicked the pebbles on the ground, "Nothing useful left?"

He was upset, not only because of the predicament he was facing, but also because of the vision he had just seen, and although he kept telling himself that it was also the result of his nervous nerves, there were already some seeds of doubt in his heart.

There wasn't much to do now, and Shore tried his best to dispel these thoughts in his mind, and without a map, he could only move on, and he couldn't delay any longer.

At the same time, on the other side of the fortress, Ye Xiang also encountered some difficulties in traveling.

"Hey, it's not a joke. Ye Xiang looked at another wall in front of him that blocked his progress, and he couldn't help but let out a wry smile.

This was the third wall he had encountered at the bottom of the fortress, and from what he had observed, it seemed that there was no other way out of the entire bottom floor, at least on his side.

"If there's no way out, you'll have to go upstairs. Ye Xiang glanced up at the ceiling, "Forget it, that's all you can do now, go upstairs!"

Ye Xiang had already memorized the route he had taken, and he quickly found the stairs he had passed before, and then walked up the steps quickly.

Fortunately, Ye Xiang did not encounter a suitable trap during the entire process of going upstairs, which was the only thing to be thankful for, but the skeleton on the stairs still made Ye Xiang frown slightly.

This is also a battlefield, Ye Xiang thought in his heart, that means that there may be a lot of organs upstairs, and the number will definitely not be small.

The scene upstairs confirmed Ye Xiang's conjecture: the skeletons were covered with arrows, some of which were directly penetrated through the entire body by the steel thorns emerging from the ground, several huge stone slabs were horizontal in front of Ye Xiang, and at the other end of the stone slabs were bones that were almost completely crushed.

Terrible trap, Ye Xiang swallowed a mouthful of saliva. Fortunately, someone has already stepped on it for him, otherwise it is likely that there will be his own share of these fallen bones.

Ye Xiang stepped on the boulder slab, he moved between the slabs with great agility, and it didn't take long for him to come to the other side.

This place is not much better than just now, Ye Xiang looked around, the number of skeletons has not decreased too much, and this trap looks more vicious than the ones just now.

Three chain-drawn blades sank deep into the wall, one of which had a helmeted skull pinned to the end, and the skeletons scattered on the ground as if to speak of the fear they faced before they died.

But what really attracted Ye Xiang's attention was the closed door in front of him, which was carved with a terrifying skeleton image, but it had to be said that the workmanship was very good.

Ye Xiang took a deep breath, then reached out and pushed open the door in front of him, and a black shadow appeared in front of him in an instant, and Ye Xiang almost pulled out the "dawn" behind him.

But after seeing the true face of the black shadow in front of him, Ye Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, it was just a skeleton, and there was really no need to make too much of a fuss.

But Ye Xiang soon noticed the strangeness of this skeleton, his hands were firmly chained, and then hung in the doorway, it was obvious that he was not killed in the fight, but was killed after being captured.

And the arrangement in the room solved Ye Xiang's doubts, there were torture instruments everywhere, and there were at least several skeletons in a room like this, it seemed that this place should have been used as an interrogation room before.

And it was at this time that a skeleton attracted Ye Xiang's attention, the pattern on the armor seemed to be a snake, and as we all know, only thirteen demon lords were allowed to have a snake pattern.

It was indeed a snake, Ye Xiang walked in front of the skeleton and confirmed it several times, that is to say, this guy in front of him should be one of the thirteen demons in the past, and this is the place where he died in the last battle.

"Looks like a villain who loves interrogation. Ye Xiang looked at the hollow eye sockets of the skeleton and smiled, "But since you are one of the demon lords, you should always carry something that can come in handy." ”

Ye Xiang searched carefully, but unfortunately he didn't find the map he wanted, but he accidentally found a black spherical object.

"What is this?" Ye Xiang fiddled with the spherical object in his hand, and suddenly the object became extremely hot, Ye Xiang let go of his hand at once, and the object that rolled to the ground immediately burst into flames that were a man high.

A human figure appeared in the flames, but he didn't seem to see Ye Xiang at all, and just talked to himself.

"I can't hold it anymore, Groll. The man in the flames said, "Retreat from the secret passage now, if you hear it, retreat at once, take the ring with you, hurry up!

The flames disappeared, and Ye Xiang immediately understood that this should be the last communication sent by someone, he didn't know if the demon lord in front of him had received this order, but it seemed that he had not been able to evacuate successfully.

However, the words mentioned by the man in the flames reminded Ye Xiang, and he immediately carefully searched the hands of the skeleton again, and finally found a ring in a cloud of dust.

"This must be the key to the secret passage. Ye Xiang looked at the ring and smiled, "I didn't expect to get such important information, I really don't know if I should thank you demons?"

Ye Xiang put the ring in his pocket, he knew that there was nothing that could come in handy here, so he hurried out of this gloomy room.

Elsewhere in the fort, Raven slammed the wall as he found himself in circles back and forth five times.

"Damn!" Raven cursed, "what the hell is this place!? There's no way out at all, except for the road I've walked, and I think I'm going crazy!"

After some catharsis, Raven sat down on the ground and began to carefully recall all the paths he had traveled before.

He kept moving forward, knowing that the road ahead was completely blocked by the wall, so he had to turn to find another way, but all the roads were completed by him, and every road ended in a dead end.

Raven tried to take the stairs upstairs, but what he didn't expect was that the end of the stairs was actually blocked by the wall, and this was a place with no way out, no matter how many times Raven tried, it was the same.

There was no passage on the ground that could be walked out, and Raven thought in his heart, wait a minute, there is no passage on the ground, what if there is a passage built under the fortress?

This thought suddenly appeared in Raven's mind, and Raven stood up at once, he already had an idea in his heart.

He crouched down and put his hand on the ground, praying that the spirit of nature would respond to him, because this was hell after all, and even he didn't know if he could communicate with the spirit of nature.

"It's coming. Raven smiled happily, he felt the pulse of the earth, it was much weaker in the past, but at least he could feel it now.

"Listen to my call, Spirit of the Earth, and give me the eyes to see the earth, and to find the way forward to the future. ”

Raven closed his eyes, he felt as if his consciousness was wandering through the earth, he saw a very clear path, and remembered his place in his mind, and when he opened his eyes again, he already had a confident smile on his face.

"Okay, let's go there. Raven quickly ran towards the place where he had found the passage, a piece of ground that looked completely unintentional and unfamiliar, but Raven knew that a path was hidden beneath it.

"I guess it's this brick. Raven reached out and pressed a floor tile beside him, and the originally ordinary ground instantly began to shake, the ground cracked, and a door to the underground was now in front of Raven.

"Now I can only move forward. Raven looked at the endless darkness underground and said, "Whatever you have in there, let me walk around now!"

Raven jumped into the underground passage, where he could barely reach his fingers, and Raven could only move forward in it very cautiously.

And they were not the only ones who did the same, Aligus had already entered the fortress, and looking at the scene in front of him, he seemed to have returned to that time back then.

"It hasn't changed at all. "After all these years, this place is still the same as when I left, I haven't been back for so many years, I'm afraid many people have forgotten about it." ”

"The subordinates remember. The messenger standing behind Alegus said, "I fought here as an escort for my lords at that time, and I still can't forget the terrible battle. ”

"I can't forget it, Augs. Aligus smiled slightly, "My friend died here, how could I forget this place?"

"We had a clear advantage. Augs's eyes flashed with anger, "If it weren't for Gabriel's guy coming with reinforcements, we wouldn't have been so defeated." ”

"By that time the front line had completely collapsed. "Nobody cares about us, Lord Satan told us to keep it, but we failed him in the end." ”

"If the front line can resist a little longer, we can hold here. Augs said reluctantly, "At that time, the reinforcements of Lord Mephistopheles will also arrive, and perhaps Gabriel will die here." ”

"yes. "But there is no way to do it all over again, there is no need to continue to dwell on the past, our task now is to annihilate those humans." ”

"Please. ”

"There are three enemies, so I'll divide the team into three. Aligus gave the order, "One of the teams is led directly by me, Augs, you will lead the other team, and the last team will be led by Phil." ”

"The subordinates obeyed. The messenger known as Phil replied.

"Outside, Srant has set up an ambush, and another army has cut off their retreat, and we are going to hunt them down in the fortress where they once fought. Augs, Phil, both of you are familiar with the terrain here, and I leave this responsibility to you. ”

"My subordinates will definitely live up to the expectations of adults. Augs and Phil replied respectfully at the same time.

"Good. "They're no longer able to fly, but don't forget what I emphasized earlier, that the man named Shore Robert must ensure his survival, and this is an order from Lord Satan himself, understand?"

"Understood!"

"Then let's get moving. Aligus waved his hand slightly, "The game of hunting begins now." ”
