Volume II Arad Chapter XXVIII

There were about twenty of them, with torches, and they were a little short; Wearing pig-faced masks and carrying a pickaxe on their shoulders, they stood in the open space in front of the cave and exchanged heads. But out of the crowd came a slightly tall and fat pig-faced man, who walked to the cave, stood on the stone, and shouted: "Today we will dig out the magic sword, Apophis, and restore the prestige of our 'Buffalo'." ”

"Dig up the magic sword and revive Buffalo. Dig out the magic sword and revive the Buffalo ......" The crowd raised torches one by one, roaring with great momentum.

The pig-faced man raised his hands and shouted, "When the time comes, our Buffalo Tomb Raiders will become the strongest organization!" Little ones, come with me! ”

"Long live Buffalo, long live the chief......" the men roared, reflecting the faint light of fire, and their eyes revealed endless madness.

The pig-faced man said a few more words, jumped off the stone and walked into the cave of sorrow. The rest of the minions were in a good formation, and they grabbed their pickaxes and went in one by one.

Lin Luo waited until these people had finished entering, and waited for a while before quietly touching the entrance of the cave. He hesitated a little at this time, not knowing whether to follow in now, or wait for those people to come out and pick up the leak. He suddenly thought of the purpose of coming here, and couldn't help but grit his teeth, and quietly entered the cave with the scabbard in his hand.

As soon as you enter the cave, the terrain goes down. Lin Luo traveled all the way, but saw strange stone shoots, green walls and dark ravines; There was the rustling of insects, and there were dead bones and rotten armor left beside the rock wall. There were strange noises here, like a mournful cry; It's eerie, like a lair of evil spirits.

After walking for a short time, the terrain was flat, and I suddenly heard the sound of digging in front of me. Lin Luo carefully hid behind the rocks, and saw the group of pig-faced masked men digging in turns with pickaxes. These people didn't seem to be tired, Lin Luo's legs were numb, and he could still see the faint light of fire and the sound of soft talking. Lin Luo held his breath and slowly sat on the ground; Listening to the sound of excavation for a long time, Lin Luo looked up, but saw that a large area of ground in front of him had been dug up by these twenty or so people.

Suddenly, a pig-faced minion shouted excitedly: "Leader, leader...... There seems to be something down there. ”

The pig-faced man immediately jumped into the pit and summoned several people to dig together. The pickaxe hoes the ground, the clattering sound; The pig-faced man peeled through the gray dirt and dug out a skeleton in iron armor. The bones of this corpse are a little strange, the left arm seems to have been cut off, and the right hand is wearing a gray and black glove, but the bones are silver and white snow, reflecting the firelight, but the iron armor on the body has been corroded, and it is no longer the glory of the past.

When the pig-faced leader saw that it was not a magic sword, he was a little disgusted; But when he saw that the bones of the bones were very different, he became greedy. He thought that the iron armor was also a treasure, so he pinched it casually, but the arm guard was easily crushed. The broken pieces of iron were scattered on the ground, and the pig-faced leader wiped the rust from his hands with his trouser leg in disgust, and he took off the rotten armor, took off his gloves, and put the skeleton in the firelight to examine it carefully.

The bones shone like a stone in the firelight. The pig-faced leader looked at Xingxi, threw the corpse to his subordinates, and told him to wrap it up and sell it for a good price.

The group dug here for a while, and when the pig-faced leader saw that he had not found it, he beckoned his men to continue into the depths of the cave.

Lin Luo saw this group of people walking away, and the firelight disappeared in the darkness; He waited for a while longer, and then he had the courage to touch it. The apple flew out of Lin Luo's sleeve and staggered in the air, illuminating the things in front of Lin Luo.

Lin Luo took advantage of the light of the apple fire and turned into the hole, trying to pick up a leak. Unexpectedly, as soon as he picked up the rusty iron armor, he gently pinched it, and it turned into dust. Lin Luo shook his head and picked up the gray and black glove again; When he saw that the glove was strong, and flicked the dust off it, he put it on his right hand.

Lin Luo thought that this glove was a treasure, and he didn't want to put it on his hand but didn't react; He cursed under his breath and took off his gloves to toss them aside. The apple 'porphyr, porphyr' cried and flew up and down on the glove.

Seeing this, Lin Luo laughed and said in a low voice, "Could it be that you still think it's a baby?" ”

The apple seemed to purse the corners of its mouth, and it didn't scream anymore, but gently bumped Lin Luo's forehead, jumped on the glove again, and motioned Lin Luo to pick it up.

Lin Luo was a little speechless, picked up the glove, and then took a closer look - this glove was made of some leather, the whole body was gray and black, and the back of the glove seemed to be woven with some black threads to form a strange five-pointed star magic array. Lin Luo pulled it with his hand, and then pulled out his long sword and cut it, but the glove was not broken; He didn't know what the glove was for or how to use it, but seeing that it was strong and the apple liked it, he reluctantly put it on his right hand.

The apple cried with some joy, and flew in circles in the air for a while, and then returned to the sleeve of the forest.

Lin Luo crawled out of the hole, felt the darkness and continued to move forward, and immediately thought: This group of people should be the group of tomb robbers in the game, and the magic sword will definitely be dug up by them, what should I do when the time comes? Ay......

This group of pig-faced tomb robbers is very particular about the place they dig, and Lin Luo walked in the dark for a while, but he didn't see the fire, and he couldn't help but think in his heart: These people should know something, otherwise they won't dig purposefully.

After walking for a long time, I suddenly saw that the inside of the cave was wide, like a tunnel dozens of meters wide. However, the bluestone in this 'tunnel' is blackened, as if it has been stained with a layer of blood, and the walls of the cave are vertical and horizontal, and some of them are hideous and terrifying.

The group of pig-faced masked thieves stopped here, digging hard with pickaxes. I don't know how deep the cave is, and Lin Luo looked inward as he looked for the group of tomb robbers, lit torches, and looked inside; Under the firelight, this strange and deep cavern is like an ancient monster, as if it is about to devour the people here.

Lin Luo didn't dare to go forward, and hid in the narrow hole to watch quietly. I saw that the group of people turned over the place again, and one of the minions seemed to be tired, threw a pickaxe and sat down on the ground, and complained: "Chief, we have been digging for so long, why don't we see a shadow." ”

The pig-faced leader also seemed to be upset, he kicked the minion and scolded: "Keep digging, keep digging, it's recorded in ancient books, it should be these two places." Dig for a while, dig for a while, and if you still can't dig up, you have to go back and dig. ”

The other minion put down his work and asked, "Chief, will it be in the inner room?" ”

"No, I remember it clearly, let's talk about ......" The pig-faced leader paused, exhaled, stared at the darkness flowing from the deep cave, and said fearfully, "Besides, there may be a worm king here, let's be careful." ”

"Worm King?" The minion said, "Didn't I hear that the Worm King was killed by the Four Sword Saints or that apostle?" ”

The pig-faced leader took a sip and said, "After so many years, who knows? He turned his head to look at his subordinates in a daze, and couldn't help laughing and scolding: "Dig quickly, dig quickly, and listen to the story......

Lin Luo waited a little impatiently in the dark, but fortunately there was fire and human voices, so that this person who grew up in a comfortable environment would not be so frightened in this cave. Time passed in the darkness reflecting the firelight, and Lin Luo was napping, and suddenly heard a shout: "Dig, dig ......"

Lin Luo woke up suddenly, looked sideways, and saw the group of people gathered in a pit, with light in their eyes, screaming excitedly.

The pig-faced leader pulled out the crowd, saw the hilt of the sword buried in the soil, and immediately laughed: "Hahaha, hahaha...... I'm Buffalo just around the corner, just around the corner! ”

The minions were shouting along with laughter. Suddenly, a minion scratched his neck and said with a smile, "Hey, something is biting my neck." "The man scratched at the neck and pulled out a white worm the length of a finger and the thickness of a noodle; He was a little confused, didn't react, and muttered, "What is this?" ”

When the people around saw the sound, they quickly dodged away. Seeing this, the pig-faced leader shouted, "Idiot, throw it away, that's ......"

Before the words fell, the minion suddenly came to his senses, and raised his hand to throw the little worm out. I don't want this insect to bite tightly, and I can't get rid of this minion no matter how much I shake it off. The pig-faced leader was also resolute, and immediately shouted: "Cut off your hands, quickly!" ”

This minion is also ruthless, pulling out the short sword at his waist and cutting off his left hand; He clutched his bleeding severed arm and couldn't help retreating, and his companions on the side immediately stepped forward to help him bandage it.

The severed arm fell to the ground, and the white worm smelled blood and was even more excited. The worm opened a small mouth that it couldn't read, and it sucked the blood out of the severed arm in one gulp. The insect sucked the blood, swollen to the thickness of an arm, and it squinted at the crowd with a pair of scarlet eyes, grinning with fangs that seemed to reveal the slightest hint of sarcasm.

In the firelight, the scene was eerie. The Pigface Leader threw a Molotov cocktail from his backpack next to the bug and immediately shouted, "Quick, burn it!" ”

The minions didn't panic, a few of them threw out incendiary bottles, and one threw out the torches in their hands. The fire torch ignited the Molotov cocktail, and the flames burst into flames. The insect was burned to the point that its skin was open and fleshy, and it was still staring at its little eyes and grinding its teeth, but it was very weird. When the fire was extinguished, there was only a puddle of black ash on the ground.

The group of tomb robbers seemed to be frightened, and they stood still one by one and did not dare to move. Suddenly, he heard a rustling sound, and when he looked up, he saw that there were dense white insects on the top of the cave.

The pig-faced leader got goosebumps and cried out, "Quick, burn ...... with fire."

Before the group could move, the white worms on the top of the cave fell like rain, and the group was covered in the body. The pig-faced leader and the three minions on the side ran as fast as they could, running to the side of the cave to avoid falling full of worms.

The torch landed, and the already weird cave looked even more weird. The white worm opened its small mouth and drilled straight into the mouths and noses of these people. These people screamed in pain, their eyes and ears were bleeding, and their whole body was convulsing.

The blood-sucking insect is swollen to the thickness of the body and a meter long. In the blink of an eye, only a dry-pickled corpse was left on the ground. The swollen bugs became excited, and they kept swallowing the small bugs in their mouths with a big mouth, and after a while, the bugs that were more than three meters long appeared in front of them.

There are more than a dozen of these insects, the elders are spotted, and the backs have black lines; They squirmed and slowly crawled towards the Pig-Face Leader.

The four of them were so frightened that they forgot to throw the Molotov cocktail in their backpacks. The pig-faced leader was still thinking about the magic sword at this time, so he ordered fiercely: "These insects crawl slowly, let's dig out the magic sword quickly." Leave it alone later, just run. ”

The three minions were brave enough to dig out the magic sword with the pig-faced leader. A minion grabbed the hilt of the magic sword and pulled it out of the earth; The man was both happy and frightened, and said in a trembling voice, "Chief, chief, take it, get it." ”

The pig-faced leader immediately made a decision and shouted, "Hurry up, let's go together!" ”

Suddenly, the minion holding the magic sword didn't move, tilting his head and smiling stupidly. Seeing this, the pig-faced leader frowned and shouted, "Tarn, what are you doing?" Why don't you go quickly? ”

Tarn's pupils turned purple, and with a click, his neck spun around and back; He gripped the magic sword tightly and smiled, "Thank you......"

The body of the magic sword was raised, and with a slash of the blade, the two minions beside Tarn didn't have time to react, and their heads flew up in an instant. Two pillars of blood rose into the sky, staining the roof of the cave red and spilling all over the walls of the cave.
