Chapter Twenty-Three: Into the Darkness

Not knowing how much time it would take for the tree people to assimilate, Xiao Yan and Galadia walked along the passage for a long time. This dark underground is extremely deep, and there is no trace of Valkyrie and the others along the way.

"Smack!" Unconsciously, Xiao Yan found that he suddenly stepped into a puddle of stagnant water.

"Wait a minute, what is this place?" Xiao Yan asked suspiciously. With the help of the dim light, he could barely make out the waves of the water nearby.

"A lake. The water is not too deep. Galadia used her perception to probe her surroundings, "Be careful, there's something in the water." ”

Xiao Yan nodded, and pulled out the light alert in the direction indicated by Galadia.

With the sound of rushing water, a humanoid creature approached.

"Who are you?" Xiao Yan and Jialadya didn't say anything to stop them, just asked, and just watched this person approach.

"I'm Hoth, a poor man who has stumbled into this crypt." Hoss was a middle-aged man who looked to be about forty or fifty years old, with all his hair gone, his body covered in algae with rough skin, and his neck was full of folds on both sides, as if layers of flesh were folded together.

His forehead was narrow, his nose was flat, and his eyes were bulging as he stared at Xiao Yan.

Very ugly and somewhat weird guy. Galadia looked at the other and couldn't help frowning.

"Hello Hoss, I'm Griffith." Xiao Yan nodded to the visitor, "What kind of place is this?" How much do you know about this? ”

"Is it here? It's called the Screaming Crypt, at least that's what the rock walls say. Above our heads are the ruins of an ancient city called Emmanley, one of the few passages leading to the top that are guarded at all times. "I tried to get out of here, but I couldn't escape the guards' eyes. ”

"Did they catch you?"

"Catch me? …… No, if I get caught, I won't even have a bone left. Hoss's bulging eyes kept open as he spoke, as if he would never blink, which made people feel unusually weird.

"We fell down from the temple above." Griffith said, "Can you take us to see the guarded passageway?" Maybe we can find a way out. ”

"Okay, why not?" Hoss's face was stiff and expressionless, making one wonder if his eyes were made of glass beads, "Anyway, I have time, and I have time." ”

The two followed Hoth in shallow water, rarely dry, and occasionally had to swim a little bit through the deep water.

Galadia quietly pulled the corner of Xiao Yan's clothes and reminded him to pay attention to the distance.

In the gloomy distance, there seemed to be some outlines of buildings such as thatched huts, and sometimes one or two eerie cries could be heard.

"Don't care, that's ...... That's just some critters in the water. Hoss glanced back at the two people who were following him, "It's not dangerous. The exit is just ahead. ”

Xiao Yan and Galadia followed Hoth through a stretch of deep water, and suddenly found themselves in an inverted bowl-shaped cave.

The water here is shallow only to the ankles and hardly affects movement.

"Is the passage up there here?" Xiao Yan asked.

"That's right, there's a little tunnel in that place, and from there you can go up." Hoth's strange eyes gurgled and looked at the two of them, making Xiao Yan feel like he was looking at a fish rolling his eyes.

No~ This is a fish...... As Hoss spoke, the fat on his cascading neck shook and opened, revealing fish-like gills.

In fact, from the very beginning, Xiao Yan and the others had already checked Huo Si's attributes through perceptual suppression.

"Hoss. Race: Deep Diver Fishman. Attributes: Strength 15, Min Jie 10, Physical Strength 10, Intelligence 5, Spirit 5, Charisma -5. ”

"The most powerful and beautiful Amotawa! Your humble servant is here to offer sacrifice! The weak, ugly deep-diving fish-man suddenly shouted, then turned around and ran into the corner. He runs with his knees facing outward, his posture comical and twisted.

The deep water at the entrance immediately tumbled like a boil, and Galadia bent her bow and arrows pointed straight at the entrance, and at the same time reminded Xiao Yan: "There's a big guy coming, go up and face it head-on!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, three huge snake heads rose from under the water, slowly revealing their connected bodies.

"Hydra's son, Amotawa. Tier: Tier 3 legendary creatures. Species: Three-Headed Snake Dragon. Attributes: Strength 105, Min Jie 30, Physical Strength 50, Perception 25, Intelligence 25, Spirit 25.

Special Skill 1: Group Attack. All three of Amotava's heads attack at the same time, sweeping through enemies around them and sending them flying.

Special Skill 2: Scales. The scales of mythical creatures are unusually strong, adding 2500 additional health.

Special Skill 3: Magic Resistance. Reduces magic damage by an additional 25%.

Special Skill 4: Sprint. Designate an unstoppable charge at a target to knock enemies in its path.

Special Skill 5: ??

Description: Hydra's offspring are powerful, noble, murderous, and greedy creatures that often inhabit underground caverns. ”

Xiao Yan and Galadia hesitated for a moment while observing the three-headed snake dragon emerging from underwater, and were immediately charged by Amotawa.

Xiao Yan pushed Galadia away, pulled out the light and stabbed at the giant beast that had already collided, and flew out upside down in an instant.

But Hanguang also pierced the scales, opening a large wound on Amotawa's left forelimb.

Standing, Galadia shot an arrow, and the beam struck the beast's lower back, sending a huge explosion that swept away a swath of flesh.

The blow seemed to have left Amotawa badly wounded, and the beast flicked its head and swept in all directions like a whip.

Galadia's eyes are quick, and she dodges when she activates the shimmer. The place where he had just stood was hit the head, leaving a large crater, and the stagnant water immediately poured into it.

"Death Coil!" Xiao Yan raised his hand and pointed at it, and Minos's death black qi pounced greedily. The three-headed snake dragon, which was waving its head and neck, lost its balance on the spot and fell to the ground with a thud.

Xiao Yan's eyes were quick, and he raised Hanguang and slashed down towards the nearest head.

The sword sliced through the steely scales, then dug deep into the flesh, slicing half of the neck bones.

Amotawa went berserk and attacked furiously, struggling to his feet.

Galadia leaped forward, aiming an arrow from mid-air at one of the struggling necks.

The arrow burst into the eye of the snake dragon, exploding a cloud of green liquid, and the impact knocked its head to the ground again.

Xiao Yan swung his sword and slashed again, this time splitting his neck bone and chopping off one of his heads in unison.

The remaining two heads opened their mouths suddenly, and there was a silent concussion in the air. Xiao Yan and Galadia felt their heads hit by a hammer and retreated at the same time.

"Gooah, ahhh

"Whoa, whoa!"

An eerie cry rang out from outside the cavern, and countless footsteps and paddling sounded from outside the passage.

"There are a lot of them!" Galadia said, "Hell, there are hundreds of monsters pouring out of those hut-like buildings I just saw, and it would be troublesome to let them attack!" ”

"They can't get in." Xiao Yan put away his long sword and took the three-barreled Vulcan cannon in his hand, "I'll stop them, and you continue to attack this three-headed dragon." ”

After several uses, the barrel and equipment of the three-barreled Vulcan cannon have worn out a lot, and the quality has also dropped from blue to green, and it is estimated that it will become a scrap product after one or two more uses.

But that's enough!

Xiao Yan quickly ran towards the entrance of the passage, raising the Vulcan cannon and shooting at the large group of deep diving fishmen rushing in the darkness.

Even if he couldn't see the target, Xiao Yan stood at the entrance, in front of him was an open area of nearly 180 degrees, and behind him was a tunnel leading to the Amotawa Cave, just strafe.

A scorching rain of bullets swept out like splashing water, with the sound of tooth-itching tearing of linen.

One tracer bullet in every six rounds shows the trajectory, allowing Xiao Yan to correct the shooting deviation and cause combustion when it hits the fishman's body.

"Whoa, whoa!" The screams came and went, and in the faint light, Xiao Yan saw countless hideous-looking fishmen being swept off their brains and torn apart by the rain of bullets, and the fishmen behind swarmed by the fragments of the corpses of the fishmen in front of them in the water.

In the flickering light, Xiao Yan even saw some fishmen suddenly bend down, tear a large piece of flesh from the corpse of their kind, and hurriedly stuff it into their mouths and chew it.

The furious rain of bullets swept for nearly a minute, and the loud sound of shooting and screams echoed in the underground cavern, and Xiao Yan's ears were almost deafened.

Almost, the duration of the Vulcan cannon was about to end, Xiao Yan took two steps back and put away the long-range weapon, pulling out Hanguang.

The electric light faintly slashing across the blade of the sword seemed to be jumping with joy, and then exploded with the first blow of the fish-man!

This is the special effect with light - thunder! The power of lightning surrounds the sword, and upon hitting the target, there is a 15% chance to create a chain of lightning that jumps between no more than 6 targets, with a lethality of 120 and a falloff of 10 for each target.

The first thunderbolt lit up the dark cave for two seconds, and Xiao Yan and the fish people were startled.

The black-pressed fish-men were almost crowded together, densely packed at the entrance, but only a few were able to attack in a narrow area. They have long mouths, baring their white, dense teeth, and howling desperately at unrecognizable syllables.

Xiao Yan was startled by the number of fishmen, but quickly calmed down.

Hell has no way to vote!

Xiao Yan swept with his sword, and every blow of Hanguang would not miss.

From time to time, lightning flashed brightly on the splatters of flesh and severed limbs, and also flashed over Xiao Yan's crazy bloodthirsty face.

What a joy it is to ravage the weak!

Xiao Yan took a few steps back like a game to pull the gap of the fishmen, avoiding the indiscriminate slashing of their spears and machetes, and then suddenly lunged forward with his sword, slashing the fishmen who were caught off guard into minced flesh.

After repeating this several times, the fishmen who shouted and fought began to be turbulent, and even the strange screams were full of surprise and wavering.

The effect of breaking the army has been activated, and even such crazy monsters are beginning to be afraid, and before you know it, these hundreds of fishmen are beginning to rout.

The fish-man in the front row turned his head and ran to the back, stabbing directly at the spear of the fish-man in the back row.

When another lightning bolt flashed through the fish-man brigade, all the fish-men erupted into a strange "coo-ahh

Xiao Yan chased after him for two steps and hacked two more fishmen to death, but the other little monsters had already scattered and fled to an unknown place, leaving behind corpses and gray and white keys.

Xiao Yan didn't have time to clean up the battlefield, so he turned around and ran back to Amotawa's lair. He had to support his teammates right away.

But his concern seemed superfluous, and he saw a large bowl-shaped hole**, and a tall tree man covering the battle between Galadia and Amotawa.

Groin had already completed assimilation and was summoned to serve as a meat shield. Its bark is extremely tough, and its attacks have a winding effect attached to it, with roots and branches that sometimes restrain Amotawa's movements, making its already slow movement even slower.

The battle between Galadia and the three-headed snake dragon continues, and another head is blown out. The three-headed dragon has only one head left, and its movement speed and attack speed are greatly reduced.

Even if Xiao Yan doesn't come back, the result of the battle must be the victory of Galadia.

After being beaten by the two, Amotawa didn't struggle for long, and after launching a charge in vain and being blocked by Xiao Yan, its huge body fell into the water and convulsed twice before it died completely.

Galadia drew a blue leg armor from the three-headed dragon, which increased her strength and strength, better than what she was currently using. Xiao Yan felt that there was no need to change her leg armor, so he gave it to her.

Fish-man Hoth cowered in the corner of the cave in horror, watching the two humans kill the powerful, almost demigod Amotava, and defeat hundreds of them.

Xiao Yan glanced at the fishman and shook it with his hand.

Horth immediately felt some force grabbing his throat and dragged himself over.

It's horrible! This human being is terrifying! Hoss struggled in panic and in vain to be dragged in front of Xiao Yan.

"I'm telling the truth! It's all the truth! Before Xiao Yan could speak, Hoth shouted, "I used to be a human before, and Amotawa is one of the guards at this entrance. ”

"Every once in a while, some live animals are dropped from the temple above, and if you want to get back to it, you must defeat the guards of the passage!"

"Who dropped the animal?" Galadia asked.

"I don't know, I don't know. I myself got here for some reason. "But I've heard from other fishmen that creatures have defeated their former guardians and left the ground. It won't be long before there will be a new guardian here. ”

Xiao Yan pressed Huo Si's neck and poured him some dark green liquid.

"Don't kill me! I'm telling the truth. Hoss fell to the ground in pain and convulsed.

Galadia took a step back in fright, and the fish-man's body in front of her quickly dried up and became as black as a corpse.

"What did you do?" The girl asked, slightly disgusted.

"I gave it a chance. There's no room for error here. Xiao Yan said indifferently, raising Minos and pointing at Hoth, "Surrender to me!" ”

Hoss's hands and feet twisted and shook like puppets, and he got up from the ground and looked at Xiao Yan with godless eyes.

"Master."

The Fishman's memories began to be shared with Xiao Yan, proving that it was not lying.

It feels good! Xiao Yan was proud in his heart. A life is thus killed, and the corpse becomes its own slave. This feeling is inexplicably cool!

Ignoring Galadia's disgusted and confused eyes, Xiao Yan kicked Huo Si, "Go to the front and lead the way." ”

"Yes, master!"
