Chapter 7: The Door, the Beginning of a Legend

"Glow?" Fang Yu paused for a moment and asked in a low voice.

Eight dark red eyes behind the dusty trail moved slowly, and a pair of bladed feet plunged into the hard stone wall, and the behemoth roared and climbed up the gap.

But no one dared to act rashly until it stopped.

Fang Yu looked cautiously at the giant insect in disguise, and strangely found that the other party did not make any further movements, only lying on the gap and 'looking' at him. He didn't know if it was called or not, but he always had this feeling in his heart.

"It looks like it's looking at you?" Even the silver-tipped female wanderer noticed this and asked curiously, "What exactly is in your backpack?" Because she was juxtaposed with Fang Yuan, she couldn't see Scarpa's point of view.

Fang Heng swallowed, and said behind him without squinting, "Miss Scarpet, help me take off my backpack." He stared at the giant insect and raised his hands little by little, for fear of irritating the ghost thing by moving too much.

With his words, everyone's eyes were focused on Scarpet.

Even though she was as sophisticated as Silk Capet couldn't help but sweat on her forehead at this time, she took a light breath to calm herself down, and secretly scolded a stinky boy. Only then did he cautiously walk over, while staring at the behemoth on the gap, and seeing that it was motionless, he grabbed the shoulder strap of Fang Yuan's backpack.

The giant worm suddenly let out a screech whistle and wriggled forward.

Quilrod subconsciously raised his greatsword and took a step forward.

This frightened everyone into screaming, and they tried to find cover in every way. "Stop!" Silk Cape shouted angrily, and at the same time, he pulled the backpack off Fang Ou's body and threw it on the ground in front of him.

There was a low roar from inside the giant insect, and sure enough, it stopped all of a sudden, and all the hydraulic transmissions under the metal body were sinking, and the oil was flowing out.

For the first time, its gaze departed from the plover and landed on the backpack.

Only then did Scapet let out a sigh of relief, and his whole body seemed to collapse. This simple action made her break out in a cold sweat.

The backpack is really glowing, like a flashlight underneath, and the thick canvas can't hide the faint glimmer, and the cyan blue light reflects the fine interwoven lines of the canvas.

Fang Yu was stunned when he saw this light: "...... is this?" Suddenly he remembered something, and with a look of disbelief on his face, he rushed over to open his backpack eagerly.

Seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help but pinch a cold sweat for him, and Scapet looked at it cautiously - fortunately, the huge structure seemed to be asleep, motionless, and only watched Fang Yuan's movements with dark red eyes.

Fang Yuan's hands were covered with bloody scabs, and his movements were clumsy, and Scarpe shook his head and walked up to help him, "Thanks, Miss Scarpe." Fang Yu lifted the cloth lid of his backpack, and the light suddenly became brighter, and he was stunned for a moment before holding the thing up with both hands.

The pale blue light suddenly brightened, and Fang Yu seemed to have taken out a small sun from his backpack, and the light reflected his face snow-white, and the dazzling light even darkened the surroundings. In the center of the light is a crystal dagger, blue and blue, with gorgeous silver ornaments carved out of its gauntlets and hilts, winged angels and singing birds, surrounded by radiant goddesses, the light is expressed in bright silver lines, showing the exquisite craftsmanship of the maker.

The dagger is in the shape of a star, and there are straight lines hidden in the crystal blade, forming a magic circle of alchemy formulas. It's a very high-end design idea, and it's usually only used for equipment that requires a lot of mana. It's just that the crystal is covered with hideous and terrifying scars, and one crack even destroys its structure from the inside.

Light radiated from the cracks for no apparent reason, seeping into every inch of the nook and cranny it could enter, the crevices between the dirt, the vegetation, and the stone slabs of the ruins.

Fang Yu couldn't help but be stunned by this brilliant light reflected in the depths of his eyes—wasn't this the dagger Miya gave him?

A strange thought suddenly occurred in his mind, and although a voice tried to tell him that it was just a coincidence, he couldn't help but think about it. "Ed?" Scarpe called out to him.

But Fang Yu didn't hear it.

At this moment, the giant insect suddenly let out a low whimper, and clattered to its feet, and everyone was so frightened that they all took a step back, only Scapet grabbed Fang Plover and tried to drag him away, and Quelod also stood on his other side.

Fang Yu was still in a daze.

The giant insect crawled down the wall like a long, dark dragon, its hard surface cracking like flour under its blades, and for the first time everyone saw it in its entirety—breathtakingly long, incredibly fast, its huge head in the blink of an eye in front of the young alchemist, its long torso stretching across the wall—the tail at the other end was still under the notch, and there was no head in sight.

The giant insect stopped, and the four pairs of eyes stared condescendingly at the tiny boy beneath their noses, less than ten feet away from the square plover.

The square plover could almost smell the steam in the air.

But the temperature is dropping.

The woman in the silver pan shivered coldly, and said inaudibly, "Its core crystal is ice feldspar, and ancient alchemy can allow it to absorb heat and transform it into magical power...... And it's not just the ...... you see."

But no one cared about what she said, and everyone froze in place.

Scarpay's hand rested on Fang Yuan's shoulder, not daring to take another breath, her vision carefully moved upwards to look at the constructed beast, which emitted a low roar like a beating mechanical heart, and in the midst of that great tremble, the humans around it became more and more insignificant.

A crumbling wall collapsed from the side, and the rubble rolled to Fang Yuan's feet with a 'clatter'. Only then did he come to his senses, looked at the behemoth, and subconsciously raised the dagger in his hand.

With a bang, the giant insect moved upward, and the four pairs of dark red eyes were raised high, causing everyone to swallow in fright, and Scarpa's hands turned white.

But after a while.

It also has no further action.

Fang Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and then carefully put down the dagger.

With the dull whisper of the boiler, the massive metal head slowly sank with his gesture, and the dark red eyes moved with it, and the gaze remained focused on the dagger in his hand.

It opened slightly, and the steel cavity was filled with dark red gears, dried blood and rust.

"Give it to you." Scarpe whispered.

"But...... It was Mia's dagger. "Fang Plover is in a dilemma.

"I knew it was the damn woman," Scapet said loudly, "Throw it away, do you want her to kill us all?" ”

And it was at this time that the situation took a new turn.

Fang Yu himself didn't pay attention, the blood-stained hands, the traces of fresh blood from the wound were seeping into the crystal. It was at this moment that a strange entry quietly appeared in the upper left of his field of vision:

The dragon knight system is loading, and the self-test carrier -

Then a whole set of interfaces drooped down like a waterfall. Pages and pages of windows opened in the field of vision, as if completing a self-inspection work, countless data and graphics reflected in the depths of his eyes, that UI he was very familiar with, it was the basic window of the Elector.

But it was all like an illusion, and in the blink of an eye, it disappeared in an instant, leaving only a single entry.

The Dragon Knight system is loading, the self-test fails, and no carrier crystal is found——

In the end, even this sentence faded out of view, like the passing wind and sand leaving no trace.

The whole process was completed in less than half a second, and Fang Yu blinked, suspecting that he had a delusion. "Did you see anything?" He asked, a little confused.

Of course they saw it.

But what they saw was that the radiant crystal dagger was rapidly losing its brightness and becoming dim in Fang Yuan's hand. The change in light was so great that Fang Yu also reacted, and he looked back just to see the scene where the dagger was completely darkened.

The silver-twinkled female wanderer suddenly let out a surprised voice: "You have ...... on your forehead"

But a deafening roar made everyone cover their ears, and even caused nausea and dizziness. Above everyone's heads, the giant insect suddenly stood upright, almost seven or eight stories high, looking at everyone condescendingly.

Fang Yu held a dagger that had completely lost any luster.

The four pairs of dark red eyes of the giant insect looked at him with coldness, wielding countless metal blades, sending out a whistle scream from within its body, and then slamming downward.

"Get out of the way!"

He finally heard Scarpe's scream.

Someone shoved him from behind.

It was pitch black.

I don't know how long it took, when Fang Yu woke up, he didn't even know if he had returned to Xinggang. He groaned as he couldn't see his fingers around him, and his body felt like it was cracking, and he finally remembered what had happened before.

At the very least, it means that he is still in Aitalia. He felt his heart pounding and beating vigorously in the darkness, but his heart gradually calmed down. Fang Yu tried to move, but the surroundings were full of rubble, it seemed to be in some underground tunnel, and there seemed to be water seeping nearby, and there was a dingdong dripping sound.

He fumbled, but couldn't find his backpack anymore. Luckily, I still had a box of matches in my pocket. He lit a match, and the bright light of the fire illuminated the dark underground, a low corridor that outlined every crevice of the stones, and twisted roots grew from above and spread everywhere on the floor.

The flames burned to the tips of his fingers, and Fang Yu hurriedly threw it out.

The fire was extinguished, and darkness returned.

It was like they were on the lower level of a ruined building, and they seemed to have come here with the collapsed superstructure, but the others had gone somewhere, and the horrible construction giant.

Fang Ou lit a second match.

The warm orange light warmed the underground tunnels somewhat, but the shadows of the stones and roots dragged long, and Fang Yuan walked cautiously forward with his head low. It had not been set foot in the ground for many years, and as the light of the fire stretched forward, he saw many colorful beetles moving under the root system, and the scalp tingled to see it.

The dripping sound is getting closer.

Suddenly, a pale face was reflected in front of it, but the fire was extinguished at once.

It was pitch black.

Fang Yuan's heart jumped heavily, and he hurriedly struck the third match, and the light lit up again. Sure enough, he saw that it was Scapet, who was most buried under the rubble and dirt, her face pale and lifeless, but her hands still clutching his huge backpack.

Fang Yu felt a heavy blow.

He threw the match on the ground and rushed over to pull Scapet out from under the rubble as if he were deadly. The wound on his hand soon cracked open again, and the blood flowed profusely, staining the dirt beneath him red. But Fang Yu didn't realize it, and dragged Silk Capet out from below.

"Miss Scarpet."

"Miss Scarpet?" Fang Yu whispered the other party's name, but did not get any response. He suddenly recalled the voice before, understood who was the person who finally pushed him away, and his nose couldn't help but be sore, and finally didn't let the tears welling up.

But it was at this time that a low cough came from the darkness, weak and weak.

Fang Yu was pleasantly surprised, as if he had won a prize. He hurriedly struck the match, and the bright and warm light illuminated Scarpet's unhappy look, and she said weakly, "Can't you lighten it?" But when she saw Fang Yuan's slightly trembling, bloody hand, the words behind her choked up a little in her throat.

The light of the match also reflected Fang Yuan's face, and he couldn't help but laugh with tears, stupid like a child.

"Childish." Scarpe shook her head slightly.

Fang Yu didn't care, and wiped the corners of his eyes. In the light of the swaying matches, the corridor was low and suffocating, and the black shadows were lurking, and the world was not as perfect as he imagined.

But, it's okay too.

"Miss Scarpet, can you walk around?"

Scapet gave him a blank look: "Do you think I look like I can walk?" ”

Before he could finish speaking, the entire corridor shook and dust fell from the ceiling. Fang Yu raised his head vigilantly, clearly feeling that the epicenter was overhead, and that thing hadn't gone yet!

"Looks like it's on you." Scapet even laughed and teased him.

Fang Yu was not as optimistic as her, and said a little worriedly: "This place collapsed from above, it will definitely not be able to stop it, we have to leave this place quickly, I will carry you." He thought about it. …… I don't know what happened to Mr. Quelod. ”

Scapet didn't dare to think about it, but the Dawn Star Adventure Party must have been finished, and the smile on her face faded, and her expression was a little gloomy for a moment. She asked softly, "Can you afford it?" ”

Fang Yu nodded, and he walked over to open his backpack - the dagger that Miya had given him had long since fallen somewhere. He didn't know whether he was happy or sad in his heart, so he only packed some necessary things and took them with him, and then took out the bag of money in his arms, looked at it and looked at it, and then stuffed it into his backpack. Then take the seven-type musket and hang it on your shoulder.

He was about to pick up Scarpe, but the latter grabbed his arm: "Wait. She looked at his forehead carefully.

Fang Yu was stunned. "What's wrong?"

"I have a box in my pocket, you take it out."

Fang Yu did as he was told, and he found that it was really a very small box, and when he opened it, there was a small piece of soap and a small round mirror with a steel face. He understood what Scarpe meant, and Scarpe struck a match, and the fire brightened again.

Looking through the mirror, Fang Yu saw a strange emblem on his forehead.

It's a star.

It was drawn by a very light white line in the very center of his forehead, and if you didn't look closely, you couldn't even make out it, it was an eight-pointed star, very delicate. He looked at it for a few more moments, and it melted completely into his skin.

"What is this?" Fang Yu had a question mark on his face.

But Scarpe didn't know, and could only speculate that it might have something to do with the dagger. She asked Fang Yu to retrieve the dagger, but the shaking of the corridor became more and more violent, and there was no time at all.

"We'll talk about it later." Fang Yu shook his head.

"Nope." Scarpe glared at him, vaguely thinking of something, but not sure yet.

Ignoring the other party's objections, Fang Yu directly carried her on his back and ran out to the front of the road. He had just left with his front feet when the corridor behind him collapsed with a thud. Seeing this scene, Scapet stopped talking.

Although Fang Yu did not have the same level of strength as the Combat Recruiter, his physical fitness was not bad, and he had more than enough silk to carry the Silk Cape, who was just a light female elven ranger.

It's just that the pain all over my body is like it's going to fall apart, especially in my hands, which is oozing blood all the time. Fang Yu gritted his teeth and said nothing.

The two of them walked forward in the dark, and Fang Yu couldn't tell the direction, so he could only follow the road. He could vaguely feel the thing chasing after him, and if he slowed a little slower, he could feel the ground tremble.

It was as if it had relied on him, as Miss Scarpe had said.

Scarpe's state was very bad, she squinted, rested her head on his shoulder, and muttered a little confused: "I didn't expect you to have such a manly side, little one, I know a girl......"

Fang Yu was secretly unhappy in his heart, Si Cape's consciousness had begun to be unconscious, and something would happen sooner or later if he continued like this. He now had only two options, one was to take her outside the dead zone, and the other was to find a cure.

But it's not easy to get out of the ruins, not to mention the Spear of the Silver Forest and the Jeffreyt Redcoats outside, even the ghost thing that has been following behind him can't be dealt with.

However, the latter is just as fantastical, and there are not many ways to cure Aitalia, except for healers and some limited potions. And Elsa is long dead, she is the only healer of the Dawn Star.

As for whether there are other healers in the ruins, it is another matter, even if there are, Fang Yu feels that the other party may not be able to help him. At this moment, his mind was full of negative thoughts about the Grand Guild.

What to do?

Suddenly, a bold idea flashed through Fang Yuan's mind.

Geofflet's Dragon Knight –

……
