Volume 1 The Fuse Chapter 34 Underground Space
I immediately swung a moon blade at the giant scorpion next to Liya.
At the same moment, the goblin spear stabbed the forehead of the giant scorpion next to me.
[3x Critical Hit!] γ
γCritical Blow!γ γ
I seem to be supposed to deal with my own one first, why did I choose to deal with the one next to Liya first?
I don't know, it's just a knee-jerk move.
Is it the same for Riya?
Two giant scorpions were wiped out at the same time, and one was missing.
But we still couldn't get out of the quicksand, and the ground was still sinking.
Was he buried alive like that?
Is there any way to get out?
Putting the dagger in my arms, I tried to come out with both hands on the ground, but the ground was full of quicksand and could not support my weight at all.
Time passed little by little, and the sand was already buried in Liya's neck, buried in my chest.
Just when I thought I was going to be buried alive, my feet suddenly emptied, and I fell.
Bang β
I slammed it the hard floor.
Immediately after, Liya smashed into me.
It's good that she's not heavy.
Is this a thousand meters underground?
I looked at the top wall above, and a desert scorpion hung upside down on top of it. There's a hole in front of it, where we fell, and quicksand is still falling.
Oh no, it won't take long to lie here and you'll be buried.
"Leah, hurry up."
Liya got off me, and I quickly stood up and flashed aside.
It's a vast space, like a square, like a palace. It was surrounded by marble stone walls, the floor was granite, and the marble pillars that required five or six people to hug each other shimmered with gold.
Is it gold that surrounds the pillars?
Before he could take a closer look at his surroundings, the giant scorpion on the top of the wall had already climbed from the top of the wall to the thick pillar on the side, and was crawling towards it.
After a few moments, the hole above closed for some reason, and the quicksand no longer spilled down, but at the same time, the only light was lost.
It was pitch black all around, with only scarlet dots constantly appearing, and a pair of red dots in the air.
That's where the giant scorpion was.
Those red dots are the eyes of a giant scorpion?
So many giant scorpions were already troublesome, but now they have completely lost their vision, and they are even more dangerous.
"Liya, where are you?"
I whispered, my hands fumbling in the darkness.
"Master, I'm here."
Listen to the sound very close.
By the way, she was right next to me just now, and as long as she didn't move, it was close at hand.
Well?
Touched something, it was soft.
"Ahh
A scream rang out.
"Is it Riya?"
"Hmm-"
"Are you alright?"
"No, it's fine."
My hands were still fumbling, and finally, I grabbed a long, slender and smooth object.
It should be Riya's arm.
"Liya come here."
Pulling Lia to her side, right next to me, the red dots around her were quickly surrounding.
The sound of a clattering sound kept sounding, which should be the sound of the giant scorpion's feet colliding with the ground.
Can they be seen in the darkness of the earth?
Alas, what a stupid question.
I hurriedly took the Blood Moon from my bosom and made a defensive stance.
Bang β
Bang bang β
Suddenly, the surroundings lit up, and on the thick marble pillars, torches continued to light automatically.
In a slight and dense crackling sound, the flames flickered.
Knock Knock Knock β
Knock Knock Knock β
In the distance, something heavy hit the ground in an unknown place, and the sound grew louder and louder.
Da Da -
Da Da -
Hundreds of giant scorpions have surrounded them, and there is a different giant scorpion on the periphery, with a dark green shell all around, more than twice as large as ordinary giant scorpions.
Gobi Scorpion King!
A giant scorpion was the first to rush and was unfortunately stabbed in the eye with a spear.
Its forward body stopped abruptly, and the next moment it trembled wildly in place, as if dancing, but the dance was really flattering.
A crescent moon struck its brain, and I managed to mend it.
More giant scorpions attacked.
Luckily, the giant scorpions are large and can't fly, so even if they come from all directions, they can only attack at most six at the same time.
But they can also squirt venom, which is more troublesome.
Knock Knock Knock β
Knock Knock Knock β
The sound is getting louder and louder, the unknown weight is getting closer and closer, but what danger is coming?
I can't take care of it so much for the time being, the giant scorpion in front of me is enough trouble.
That's right, the scales!
Killing a giant scorpion that came closer, I quickly removed the pendant.
"Liya, make it bigger."
"Hmm."
Riya took the pendant and recited the incantation.
The scales instantly grew larger, and a pitch-black shield stood in front of us.
"Come over here."
I greeted Liya, and the two of them leaned against a stone pillar under the protection of their shields.
As a result, our attack surface is greatly reduced and our defense is slightly easier.
Bang bang β
Countless venoms shot out, most of which were blocked by marble pillars and scales, and the rest were barely resisted by the poor ghost shield.
But after all, the Poor Ghost Shield was just an ordinary piece of equipment, and it didn't take long for it to be corroded into holes.
More than a dozen giant scorpions have been wiped out, and more are still surrounding.
"Liya, can you still hold on?"
"Don't worry, master, I, I can still hold on."
Her voice was already trembling slightly, and her chest was heaving heavily.
The clothes on my back were already soaked with sweat, and even the sweat was spreading along my clothes, soaking my clothes as well.
The coldness spread down my back to my heart.
Even if she can barely hold on, it will definitely not last, I have made a judgment.
Knock Knock Knock β
Knock Knock Knock β
The loud noise was closer.
Even the giant scorpions besieging us were in some confusion, and many of them were not attacking us at all, but crawling around on the ground.
If it weren't for the Scorpion King, they would have fled in all directions.
Scorpion King?
A famous quote pops into my mind.
Capture the thief and capture the king first!
While fending off the giant scorpion's attacks, I swung my bloody light from time to time, hoping to kill the scorpion king.
However, the Scorpion King looked huge, but he was very nimble and easily dodged all my attacks.
It seems that the effort is in vain.
I sighed unconsciously at the thought of this.
"Ahh
"I'm sorry master, it's all Liya who is too weak!"
It's all my fault, what's the sigh?
Leah thinks I hate her!
"No, Liya has become much stronger."
I offered words of comfort.
"Master leave me alone, you can escape......"
"What are these words, and if so, am I still worthy to be your master?"
"But ......"
"Nothing but. I have declared my passing, and I will never abandon Lia. Will Leah betray me? β
"Absolutely not, Liya will never betray her master." She didn't hesitate and spoke in a very firm tone.
"That's right, let's support it together, it's a big deal to die here together."
"Well, being able to die by the master's side is Liya's greatest happiness."
Greatest Happiness......
I decided that as long as I could get out of here alive, I would let Liya return to women's clothing.
Wearing men's clothes is too wronged for her, and she must be amazed by her beauty.
No one has the power to hide her beauty, I don't have the power, and neither does her mother.
Oh no, a pincer reached through the gap between the shield and the stone pillar and grabbed my left arm.
The pliers closed and were already caught in my bones.
Bursts of sharp pain came from my arm, chilling my heart, and cold sweat broke out from my forehead and ran down my cheeks.
In order to avoid Liya's worry, I resisted the sharp pain and did not make a sound.
Luckily, Liya was fighting the giant scorpion and didn't notice it.
Blood Moon thrust into the gap in the pliers and slashed.
The pincers reopened and could no longer be closed.
My left arm also felt uncontrollable and unable to hang down.
Blood was oozing down his left arm, soaking his sleeve and dripping to the ground along his arm.
It's even worse.
Knock Knock Knock β
Knock Knock Knock β
A loud noise had reached the neighborhood.
After a while, the giant scorpion swarm suddenly became chaotic and fled in all directions.
Even if the Scorpion King is here, those giant scorpions can't care to continue attacking us.
Is it a more powerful monster?
Looking towards the source of the sound, a group of humanoid statues poured in from a passage in the distance.
The humanoid statues were about twice as tall as adults, green and oily, carved from jasper, and held swords of the same color, but sharpened like metal swords.
As soon as they appeared, they swung their swords and slashed at the giant scorpion.
The clicking sound continued to sound, and one giant scorpion after another was slaughtered, and the hard shell could not stop it for a moment.
Now there are three forces in this vast space, and of course, Liya and I are the weakest of them.
More than a dozen poisons were sprayed on the humanoid statue, but it had no effect at all.
The green light kept flashing, and the giant scorpion kept dying.
Those humanoid statues are too strong!
Suddenly, I felt the edge of my clothes being gently tugged, and at the same time, Liya's voice whispered.
"The host, the host ......"
"Huh?"
When I looked over, she was pulling at my clothes.
"Oh, let's go."
Now is not the time to appreciate the battle, and at any point those humanoid statues will notice our presence.
Thirty-six counts, running for the upper count. Slipping away while the chaos is the first thing.
Ria turned the scales back into pendants and hung them around my neck, and then we bent over and slipped to the side of the wall like thieves.
I was in front and Liya was behind, and we crept along the wall towards the passage on the other side.
It's said to be a passage, but because it's underground now, it's actually a corridor at all.
Just as we were about to reach the entrance of the hallway, a patch of greenery appeared in front of us.
Two humanoid statues appeared in front of them at some point, blocking their way.
It's-
Is it still noticed after all?
When I looked closely, I realized that the statue was wearing a helmet and armor, like a soldier, of course, it was all turquoise.
Could it be the guardian of this underground palace?
It doesn't matter if it's a Guardian or something.
Here and now, of course, you can't just be caught and wait for death.
I flashed the blood moon and made a defensive stance.
I don't know if the Blood Moon can do any harm to these weird things, but I don't have a choice.
At the same moment, the right hands of the two statues of soldiers grasped the hilt of the saber at their waist at the same time, and they were ready to slash me, the innocent intruder.
