Chapter 118: The Last Distance
"Quick, come in!" Standing at the doorway of the corridor, Urs did not rush in immediately, but stood at the door with a cursed blade in hand to meet the later companions in the group.
Stonefist and Koto arrived after escorting Thea and Gloriden between the two. The silver-haired wolf-eared priest girl and the old thief with the glowing stone then hid in the corridor behind the wall at the signal of the young man, followed by the orc monk and the dwarven warrior who walked a little slower, and Miss Drow Poet who ran over with a lute instrument in her arms.
The husky throat could not destroy the artistic talent of the dark elf poetess. The raven ran past Urs while still playing, and the young man swung his sword to force back a few ghostly ghosts trying to catch up, and then turned one last time to enter the corridor, and then heard the strings in his ears naturally connect with a series of ending notes to end the performance.
The poet lifted the hand from the string of the instrument, and the subtle finger movements of the hand and the sound of the wolf-eared maiden praying and chanting once again and at the same time completed their spells and divine spells.
The magic that Xia completed this time is still a small healing technique in group mode, and the positive energy released by the magic will "burn" several ghost monsters that slipped into the corridor with everyone to the point of wisps of gray smoke, some of them let out a terrible scream and were overtaken on the spot, and the rest were immediately solved one by one by Stone Fist using the fist of the warrior monk and the +1 war hammer in Koto's hand.
As for the Raven Sparrow, the spell that Miss Poet completed this time was the "Door Sealing Technique".
Mage 1 Ring Spell - Door Sealing (Protection): Use the power of magic to seal a door-shaped opening, with a maximum blocking area = 20 square feet per cast level.
The magical energy of this protective 1-ring spell flowed through the gap between Miss Poet's fingers towards the location of the secret door at the entrance of the corridor, and the secret door of the mechanism that had just been opened by Urs pressed the bricks of the tunnel immediately made a "bang" sound at a speed that was unreasonable to move, and the team that had entered the corridor at this time was completely isolated from the ghosts and undead in the rock hall outside.
This is the end of the battle.
"The fire is above, the victory of justice, under the joint witness of the goddess and Xiaomeng! Ha ha! Koto waved the hammer in his hand to disperse a shadow beside him that had been scorched by magic and smoked, and then raised his left arm with the tower shield in high cheers, "But then again, if we don't rush so fast, the warriors of the clan may be able to kill a few more!" ”
With that, he had that excited expression on his face again, but he didn't seem to know that the ghosts he had completely killed in the Rock Hall were actually far from as many as he thought, because many of the ghosts had just been driven away by him and Stonefist.
Shi Fist took a deep breath, adjusted the power called "qi" in his body, and looked at his companions who had come to this new corridor safely, and turned his eyes to the captain of the barbarian team and asked, "What should I do next?" Based on the current situation, we can't turn back the way we came for the time being, so should we continue along this road? ”
Urs was holding a bottle of potion and drinking it with his head tilted.
Of course, that flask wasn't the mid-level resistance potion that Draco had given to everyone, but just a second-level life potion that could restore 1d8 health after drinking.
The Adventurers' Guild of Twilight gave him 6 vials of secondary life potions as a reward for that emergency mission in the Spotted Axe Forest. The potions were also distributed equally among the team in advance, and he also carried the bottle with him, which was just right to restore the damage to his health suffered in the battle not long ago.
The black-haired young man swallowed his throat, plugged the empty potion bottle back into the wooden cork and put it into the dimensional bag, and the scarred half of his face turned to look at the orc monk and replied, "Keep walking." Gloleden knows the way forward. ”
"As His Excellency the Captain said." Glorydon nodded in agreement, "So let's continue to let me lead the way...... This is the last stretch of distance. ”
"The last distance?" The crow heard the key point in the old thief's words, "What do you mean?" What's the distance? And what? ”
"Of course it's my old enemy's lair." The brown-haired old man shrugged and smiled, "We're going to find it soon...... If the noble dragon had cared about the tiny humans, perhaps it would have remembered me. ”
"So, should we be ready for the next battle now?" Hearing Gloriden's explanation, Thea hurriedly expressed her worries about the team.
"Not yet." The old thief shook his head.
Then he glanced sideways to check Urs' eyes, and when he saw the young man nod to him after thinking for a few seconds, he grabbed the glowing stone in his hand and returned to the role of scout and walked back to the front of the group.
In this way, the adventure party that broke into the ruins continued their exploration into the deeper areas of the dungeon.
In order to create a relatively quiet reconnaissance environment for the old thief, everyone was silent all the way, and time gradually passed about fifteen minutes or so in such an atmosphere.
The 20 minutes of the Intermediate Resistance Elixir was no longer enough time to accompany the team to complete the "last distance" that Gloleiden had mentioned. The dark road was explored little by little by the old thief who still remembered the road in his mind under the light of the luminous stone, and everyone fortunately did not encounter new undead monsters during the period of losing the protection of the potion, and the forks along the way appeared from time to time in the eyes of you, but they were all recognized by the team's scout old gentleman one by one, so that everyone in the team was always able to lead everyone in the team to the right route.
After breaking through the Rock Hall, the area in the second half of the shadow ruins is indeed like a small labyrinth with a simple structure, the only one of the many bifurcating corridors leads to the deepest part of the ruins, and the rest of the paths are all hidden dead ends, either a few dazed and dazed ghosts wandering inside, or more dangerous and deadly charged magic traps are buried.
Excluding this trip, Glorydon had only visited the Shadow Ruins once eight years ago during that tragic adventure, but he remembered the regional route of the dungeon ruins as if he had seared it into his heart because of his bitter hatred.
It seems that what he first said to young people in the slum tavern called Flame Wheat during the eight years of sinking was not entirely a self-perfunctory excuse.
Suddenly, the old thief who was walking in front of him looked left and right at the surrounding scene, his gray eyes seemed to be looking for some kind of reference with the help of light, and then he stood still, looked back at the team members behind him, and said politely: "Sorry, everyone, I can only take you here." ”
