Chapter 605: The Initial Purpose of the Storm's Breath
With Xu Yichen's departure, the entire large pit seemed to come to life, and the survivors could clearly feel the ground under their feet slowly squirming, as if the place they were standing on was not solid ground, but something.
Ed stood closest to the fork, listening intently to the voices coming from inside, he could only faintly hear some muffled voices inside, but he couldn't hear exactly what was being said.
Who entered the pit before them?
Ed's heart was a little agitated, the Seris had been in for nearly five minutes, and the squirming of the ground under his feet at this time made him panic a little, he didn't know if he should give the order to make everyone retreat.
But where can you retreat?
Outside, hundreds of the undead were grinding their teeth, waiting for them to be delivered, and inside were unknown enemies, watching them from unknown corners where the entire city had been sacrificed.
For a moment, Ed felt like food in the mouth of a monster, and he couldn't live or die at all.
In addition to the anomaly under his feet, the feeling of being watched was even stronger, as if something had been watching him, Ed had been more sensitive than others since he was a child, he was sure, something was staring at him above him!
This time, Ed did not act rashly, but held his weapon casually, then jerked the torch in his hand upward, pulled out the weapon with the other hand, and shouted: "I see you!" ”
Ed's shouts startled the others, but what Ed found was even more terrifying.
A fishy yellow eye, the size of a basin, stared at them from the fleshy ceiling that had quietly covered the roof of the cave at some point.
Ed felt that the courage he had accumulated before was passing away quickly in front of these fishy yellow eyes, like a balloon that had been punctured.
The weapon began to tremble slightly, the feet began to become limp, and the torches continued to create strange shadows as the arms trembled.
"Loshanda, what the hell is this!" Ed had traveled in the Old World, and although he was not a follower of the Lord of Radiance, he had read many books describing the followers of the Lord of Light and their heroic slaying of all kinds of demons.
At this time, he hoped that that glorious and majestic figure could bring him courage.
But the reality is always cruel, this is a mine cave more than ten meters underground, where you can't see your fingers, where the sun can't shine, and where the power of Luoshanda can't cover.
This place is under the control of the demon hunters.
The arrows that had been shooting from the deeper darkness exploded the fishy yellow eyes, and the cracked lens, like jelly, sprinkled Ed's body.
"We go back to the first fork, along the main mine road, and I'm going to the bottom." Xu Yichen arched the keel back in his hand and walked out of the darkness.
"The last hour has come, comrades, the chances of us living to see the next sunrise are approaching zero, and now I want you to show some courage." Xu Yichen walked past the survivors one by one: "Go and get the slightest possibility of a turnaround." ”
"I need you to go down to the third level of the pit with me, do you know where that is?" The Demon Hunter walked straight to the bearded man, hoping that the only remaining guide knew the way to the bottom of the mine.
Fortunately, fate still favored him, and the bearded man did not hesitate: "I know how to go down to the third layer of adults, but there will be some excitement on the way." ”
"The chances of you coming back alive are low, do you regret it?" Xu Yichen didn't know if he would be able to come back alive, but the news he got from Viscount Amos that Mordrik had completed assimilation with the third layer of the big mine, so if he went on this trip, the guide was basically dead.
"I don't regret my lordship, it's my greatest wish to kill them a little more!" The bearded man glanced at his severed arm: "I have long had nothing to look forward to in life." ”
"Then there is nothing exciting, there is no road more exciting than the road to death." Xu Yichen patted the bearded shoulder: "It's time for us to hit the road!" ”
"You'd better go back the way you came and wait at the entrance to the cave." Xu Yichen looked at the other survivors and said, "Either I succeed and everyone can survive, or I fail, you can choose for yourself, whether to be eaten by the big mine or by the undead." ”
"Can't we go down here with us?" The young transcendent asked a little unwillingly, "Maybe you need our help, even if we are not as powerful as you, we can still play some role!" ”
"Time is pressing, you can't keep up with me." The demon hunter pointed to the fleshy mucous membranes that were beginning to spread, "Watch out for the tentacles on the walls, don't get caught, you should still have time to get out." ”
After speaking, Xu Yichen picked up his beard, turned around, and rushed out as fast as he could, he wanted to rush to the third layer before Mordrik completed his proliferation.
Perhaps, he still has time to take out Modric.
Ever since he knew about Modric's beginnings and the fact that he had no descendants, Xu Yichen had suspected that Count Modric would offer the entire city as a gift to the evil god, which was a big deal and required a lot of preparation.
The Great Wall that enclosed the entire city at a great cost, and the Demon Hunters could tell from the first sight of it that it was not built to defend against any foreign enemies at all, but to isolate the city from the outside world.
What kind of city would enclose itself and leave only one gate as an entrance?
Only a prison would do that, and Storm's End is a huge prison, a huge altar.
Modric probably had this concept for a long time, and since the day the city was built, he has been waiting for such a result, and the chaotic knowledge buried under the pit is probably also placed by him in advance.
The entire city, from slaves to nobles, was played with by him, and even Guo Yunfeng was deceived by him.
His mission at the time was to prevent the potential crisis of Storm's End, and one of the biggest turning points was to prevent Count Modric, the lord of Storm's End, from entering the Great Mine.
Including Xu Yichen and Guo Yunfeng himself, they all misunderstood the mission at first, believing that the purpose of preventing the lord from entering the large mine was to allow the lord to play the maximum role and lead the survivors in the city to resist the plague.
And the fact is precisely that by preventing the lord from entering the big mines, the plague will not break out.
