Chapter 714: Someone Behind
The entrance to the Dastmann cairn.
"Did you say that letter got to those damn wolf cubs?" The captain of the silver hand, who was just about to enter the door, suddenly stopped his steps and asked the heart on the side.
"Boss! Those guys must have gotten the news, maybe they're rushing here like mad dogs right now haha! Faced with his leader's question, this guy answered very decisively.
"Haha! I just love to hear you! When the leader of the team heard this answer, his face smiled like a chrysanthemum.
"Hehe, it's not your fault, my lord, we just need to go in one step ahead of them. Then put a couple of traps in there for those guys to get into...... Haha, by the time we go back, we can probably earn several wolf skins! ”
"Excellent! Very good! The leader of the silver hand clapped his hands lightly and smiled even more heartily. So what are we waiting for?! Let's go! ”
In a dark burial chamber.
"Roar!" A ghoul roar suddenly came from the side of the three-man team. And with this roar, the surrounding ghouls opened their blue eyes one by one as if they had been woken up.
"Phew! We're a grave again, and these guys really can't finish cutting down! Robben spat his hand, then rubbed his hands together and rounded the giant axe and took a step towards the nearest ghoul.
The steel axe of Sam Silver was danced vigorously in Robben's hands, and the ghoul in front of him was very decisively split in two from the middle. The cross-section of the wound could faintly reveal the ghoul's dried entrails, as well as the empty abdominal cavity that had apparently been hollowed out before the burial. Through the flickering firelight, you can also see the green smoke floating from the ghoul's wound and the slight scorch marks on the truncated surface.
"Roar!" With Robben's blow, the surrounding ghouls roared one by one as if they were stimulated and rushed towards the position where the three of them were. Listening to this voice, it should be that all the ghouls in this small tomb have been awakened.
Fortunately, the space of the tomb was originally small, and the individual combat effectiveness of these ghouls was not high, so under the back-to-back defense of the three Farkas, these guys had no choice but to lose the ability to move one by one before they could even break the barrier built by their weapon wielding.
"Huh...... "Looking at the remains of the ghouls all over the ground, Wilcas often sighed." I say...... Farkass, are we going to move these guys back now and make a scene like no one has ever been? ”
"Yes! Of course you have to ......," Farkas said softly, not disliking anything, and kicked up a ghoul wreckage, then grabbed it in the air and gently placed it aside where he had been lying.
"Ah...... You're a stubborn lunatic, I ......" Wilcas was evidently tormented by Farkass's cautious demands to the point of intolerable proportions. But no sooner had he spoken, than suddenly there was a distant but clear sound of the iron gate falling from behind them......
"Clarara ......"
The leader of the silver hand looked helplessly at this henchman who was locked up in the same compartment with him, and his eyes were full of dissatisfaction.
"Boss...... Hehe, I don't really blame me for that...... I was just looking for a way to get to the next place...... You see, I'm going to pull it back now......" The henchman said as he wrenched his two hands on the mechanism in front of him, and then slammed it in the opposite direction.
Unfortunately, this time he was going to be disappointed, as if the mechanism had been broken suddenly, and it couldn't be pulled back at all. This largely meant that the iron gate that blocked them from the next door would never be opened...... There are indeed such mechanisms in the ruins, they have been opened and closed by countless people, and they have been worn out for countless years, and no one is sure if they will be able to reset them after moving them this time. The leader of the Silver Hand squad had indeed seen some unlucky ghosts die of necrosis because of the mechanism, trapped alive in some of these small cubicles, until they starved to death after the food was eaten. I seem to have sighed at those guys' nests before, but I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen to him today!
"Fuck off! I'll give it a try! The team leader, who couldn't help his temper, kicked the guy in front of him away, and hugged the putter in front of him with both hands.
"Squeak...... With the strength of the team leader, the push rod was finally pushed a little, and the iron gate seemed to move. But in the next moment, something even more desperate happened, with a sharp squeak of metal, the putter was actually broken because the team leader used too much force!
"Whew...... Damn it! The squad leader gasped hard and threw half of the iron rod in his hand to the ground.
"Boss, what's going on? How did you get locked up inside? At this time, the members of the Silver Hand who were sent out to search the surroundings also heard the movement one by one and rushed over.
"It's not because of this idiot! Look around for me! There must be other switches that open this door! This kind of door in the ruins is generally controlled by two mechanisms, the inside and outside, and the outside organs are often in relatively secret places! Seeing that his subordinates were all around, the uneasiness in the squad leader's heart was finally forcibly suppressed, and he ordered the silver hands around him, and said to the henchman outside the compartment in front of him: "How was the inspection just now?" Are there any suspicious traces? ”
"Chief, there are indeed traces of battle, but judging from the fact that these traces have survived, it should have been there for a long time, it is estimated that there have been battles here, and the alarmed ghouls have either been directly killed by silver weapons, or they have not yet recovered."
"That means there shouldn't be any people in front of us at this time, right?" The team leader asked through the iron gate.
"My lord, there should be no one in front of us who is in the way. That's almost certain. But this place should have been visited before, I'm afraid ......"
"No, other adventurers won't have the ability to go to the deepest part of this stone mound, as long as we go any further, we will definitely encounter the corpses of those guys!" Talking about this matter, the tone of the Silver Hand Squad Leader was very positive.
As luck would have it, as he said, there was a mechanism on the outside of the gate. Before the two of them finished their discussion, the iron door in front of the team leader opened again with a heavy creak......
