"Hey, what's wrong?!"

"Earlier, what's going on?"

"How did the torch go out?!"

In the sudden darkness, the hearts of everyone behind them were raised, and they shouted one after another, questioning the people in front of the queue.

"The head of the snake, the head of the snake is gone!" a panicked voice came back from the front.

Fear and anxiety spread quickly from the source of the sound like collapsed dominoes.

"What are we going to do?" Ian heard someone shouting behind him.

"Does anyone else have torches?"

"I have, wait, I've got to find the flint," a young man replied in the middle ......of the group, his voice nervous and flustered.

As soon as his words fell, before the echo had completely dissipated, some blue-purple light lit up in the waterway in the middle of the intersection in front of him. At first glance, Sid thought it was Ian's psychic power, but when he looked closely, the color of the light was purple, which was not the same as Ian's pale blue psychic power.

"Not me. Ian felt Sid turn his head slightly, and immediately guessed what he was thinking.

"And what is this......" Sid had not finished his sentence when a commotion suddenly erupted in front of the group. Ian heard what appeared to be someone jumping into the river, the sound of chaotic water, and more people crowding towards the back of their group. For a moment, the sound of water mixed with shouts echoed in the drainage pipe.

"What's going on?" Sid asked, snapping a man who had fled from his side and stomping on water in a desperate manner.

The man subconsciously struggled, but did not break free, so he had to shout: "Let go of me! There are demonic beasts, if you don't want to die, run away!"

As soon as Sid's hand loosened, the man stumbled and ran away with a splash.

Ian had already drawn his sword and said to Sid, "You can't run." ”

At this time, without the snake head as a guide, even if they escaped from this demonic beast, it would be difficult for them to find their way back. It was already quite a distance from the entrance they had entered, and it was impossible to remember how many intersections they had passed through and where they had turned. If the demonic beasts catch up and crash around in a panic, it is better to stay here and fight hard to survive.

Before the head of the snake disappeared, he also said that as long as he passed a few more intersections along this waterway, he should reach the exit, and it must not be too far.

"Is there a way to illuminate a little bit with psychic power, it's too dark in here. Sid drew his sword and walked into the middle waterway.

"No," Ian spat out two words dryly, his voice seemingly tense, "and I don't need to." ”

Sid only felt a light approaching from behind him, and hurriedly turned around.

The group was almost finished, and it seemed that only the two of them were left in the empty drain. Maybe some didn't go far, but they couldn't see anything in the dark.

The blue-purple glimmer was getting closer and closer, and it was the light that came out of the demonic beast.

It was a monster that looked like a fish, but the head of the fish was the size of a baby elephant, and the body of the fish that gradually disappeared into the darkness behind it was even more huge. It was covered in black mud and emitted black magical energy, making it look pitch black. But there seems to be a glowing core in the body, and a blue-purple light shines through the monster's eyes and gills.

The lifeless fish's eyes were huge, and a blue-purple shimmer softly filtered through the sockets, and the eyeballs swirled wildly on both sides of the fish's head. A dense set of fangs is clearly visible in a closed fish lip. This fish mouth was the largest of any fish Ian had ever seen, and the sides were almost grinning directly at the gills. Sharp gills are layered on both sides of the fish's head, drumming rhythmically, and the blue-purple light inside is lit up brightly and darkly, as if it is proof of its breathing.

"Corpse carp!" Sid cried in a low voice, a hint of horror in his voice.

"What's that?" Ian had never heard of the name.

"A monster that likes to eat dead animals, but how can it be in the underground tunnels of Najian City?" Sid then reminded Ian, "Be careful, it's probably crazy with hunger, otherwise it won't attack living creatures." ”

As soon as the words fell, the gills of the corpse carp suddenly bulged to the sides, and the fish's mouth opened and let out a strange and dangerous cry. Ian heard the hissing of a snake, the sound of a sieve scraping rapidly across the stone floor, accompanied by a series of shrill hiss that seemed to come from deep in its throat. The strange roar lingered, and the corpse carp shook its head and tail and twisted its body, and quickly slid down the waterway towards Sid.

For the corpse carp, the water in the waterway is not deep, but it is enough to make it move quickly. But for Sid, who is a human, the water and silt happen to be the resistance. However, Sid also came prepared, and when he walked into the waterway after drawing his sword just now, he had already calculated the pros and cons.

Although he only has a one-handed long sword in his hand, he is good at two-handed sword moves. The sidewalks were extremely narrow and clinging to the walls of the pipes, making it difficult for him to fight. Although the water under your feet hinders your movement speed, at least you can use the two-handed sword to open and close your skills.

The corpse carp galloped along the current, and Sid was very confident in the strength of his arms, and he used all his strength to avoid it, and slashed down with a sword. There was a crisp sound, and Sid felt a light in his hand, and the steel long sword was actually bitten by the teeth of the corpse carp. The corpse carp bit the long sword like a demonstrative, and immediately opened its mouth again. Sid looked at the half-broken sword in his hand and secretly screamed that it was not good.

The scene of Zack's dagger being crushed by the demon wolf while he was alive flashed back to Ian's mind, and suddenly the blue light in his eyes suddenly appeared, and the spirit appeared on the wall beside him. Zach appeared with his sword unsheathed, his body arched, his legs curled up against the wall. In the next moment, he kicked hard against the wall and flew towards the corpse carp. Before the corpse carp could take a second bite, a pale blue comet struck the corpse carp, and with a "bang", Zack's sword pierced deeply into the corpse carp's side.

The monster suffered pain, and the action of biting immediately turned into a painful writhing, and with a violent tail swing, the water splashed, and turned its head towards Zack.

The corpse carp has hard scales on its body, and it is covered with mud in the waterway, which is extremely protective against ordinary swords. But compared to the hard head, the body of the fish is still more fragile after all.

Sid took the opportunity to make his way to the aisle across from Ian, now separated by an angry corpse carp and a muddy waterway.

The surroundings were so dim that the only source of light was the glow from the eyes and gills of the corpse carp. Ian couldn't see the monster's attack point clearly, causing Zach to be bitten by the turned fish's mouth. Immediately after, only a "click" was heard in the darkness...... The fish's mouth snapped hard, but it was empty. Pale blue dots of light scattered in all directions.

Making quick decisions was one of the lessons Ian learned in his battle with Sid's true sword. The knowledge imparted by the witch had made him understand the nature of the spirit, and he had already experienced first-hand what kind of damage and burden would be on his spirit if the spirit was defeated.

Therefore, the moment Ian found out that Zach was bitten, he immediately dispersed him. Even though this is a bit of a waste of imagination, there is no better choice at this point.

As soon as Zack's spirit dispersed, he immediately manifested Flynn in the depths of the passage.

"Ian!" Sid shouted.

Before she could control Flynn to attack, the corpse carp had already crashed headlong into Ian's position.

The boy rolled over along the wall to dodge, and the corpse carp smashed its head like a baby elephant into the wall behind Ian.

There was a loud bang, and the mud on the vaults and walls fell like an earthquake. Many loose stones of all sizes on the vault of the passage fell into the river, and listening to the sound, it stirred up countless splashes.

The corpse carp slowly moved back, as if searching for Ian's location again. The walls it hit showed cobweb-like cracks. If he hadn't avoided this hammer, I'm afraid Ian would have been mashed into a pulp.

The shimmering fish's eyes looked like two moving targets in the darkness, and a pale blue arrow of light shot into the bull's-eye without warning.

But the monster's eyes were accustomed to the darkness here, and they twisted their bodies and turned sharply, dodging as they rushed towards Ian again.

Ian didn't hide this time, his eyes burning with blue flames, indicating that he was still fully engaged in the control of his psychic power.

Sid eagerly threw the broken sword in his hand at the monster, but only to get a slight thud of scales in response, and fell into the water.

A second arrow pierced through the darkness and whistled from the depths of the passage, reflecting the pitch-black mud, mottled walls, and high vaults of the passage, before disappearing into the back of the corpse carp.

With a bang, the corpse carp was hit by an arrow, and the scales on the high arched back cracked, and it made a sharp cry like a boar, which shook everyone's eardrums. The sound of water in Ian's ears erupted, and the corpse carp turned around violently, and with a swing of the fish's tail, it easily slapped Ian away and slammed it into the wall not far away.

The corpse carp had turned, and Sid couldn't see anything, except for a muffled sound from Ian's side, and the sound of the sword falling.

The corpse carp was about to flee straight into the depths of the waterway, but Sid was unarmed and did not dare to stop it, and hurriedly waded towards two faint blue lights not far away. He knew Ian wasn't dead yet, but if his eyes were closed, even if it was just a momentary fainting and he lost consciousness, he would have to fumble around to find him.

When he came to Ian's side, he felt like the boy was trying to sit up. With the sparkle of imagination in his eyes, Sid noticed that the other party didn't look at him, but just stared at the direction of the corpse carp's escape.

"How's it going, Ian!" Sid helped him to his feet.

"It's not dead yet, cough cough ......" The young man couldn't help coughing, there was blood at the corner of his mouth, and his eyes narrowed even more at this time, "Damn, it's too late!"

The corpse carp fled so fast that it was turned away from them, and Ian couldn't see where it was, let alone get another shot from Frynn.

Ian's eyes widened, and the blue flames burned again—Zach reappeared at the limit of his vision.

But this distance was too reluctant, and Zack was in front of the corpse carp, but he couldn't stop it, and was knocked headlong by the crazy corpse carp.
