Chapter 228: The Soul of the Fireproof Girl
Creepy and eerie cries can be heard in the dark distance, and it's hard to imagine how many ugly and terrifying monsters there are in this vast and deep underground village. Orlan was sure, however, that there were no threatening monsters in their vicinity at the moment, with the exception of the occasional pesky mosquito that popped up from the cracks.
The disgusting thing about these mosquitoes is that once they know that they can't get close, they will spray the foul-smelling and poisonous dirty blood from their bulging abdomen in your face. It's a strange mosquito that Orlan hasn't seen in the Age of Ashes, but it's better than a living corpse outside the secluded church that accidentally provokes maggots.
As for the dark cloud-shaped mosquitoes he encountered just now, in addition to casting spells and burning the sky into a rain of fire, Oran even used the divine magic "Force" to blow away those bloody rains.
"Oran, what do you think is that? This can't be a dog. Ciri asked, a little confused.
"Yes, it was indeed a dog." Orlan looked in the direction Ciri was pointing, and then replied firmly, but his tone was a little grinning.
Is a dog, or a dead dog, something strange? These things are everywhere in the soul world, and these living canine creatures can be seen wherever there are people. Moreover, according to the transformation of the specific living environment, their morphological characteristics are also different. For example, the dog in Fort Fran has a few pustules on his head, and he looks like those grunts.
But Orlan had never seen a lonely-looking dog standing in the middle of the huge wooden wheel, kicking its legs without stopping. Oran had never seen an undead person take a dog like a hamster in such a bad sense, yes! It's an enlarged version of a hamster wheel.
At first, Oran wondered how the wooden wheels, which resembled the structure of a waterwheel, were driven, and the sound of running water was not heard around them. Now, everything is visible, and this dog is the "core power".
Oran and Ciri stared at each other for a moment, and found that this red dog, which was supposed to be extremely fierce and bitten when he saw someone, was not moved at all. Still walking on all fours, his steps are steady and powerful, and his expression is focused and confident.
At this moment, Oran actually felt a sense of mission, right! This is a dog with a mission, not comparable to those bewitching wild dogs outside who only care about biting people and eating meat, and scurrying around. Its consciousness is very high, and its only purpose is to make this wooden wheel turn forever. At this moment, it is no longer a simple dog, but a good dog dedicated to himself and convenient for others, perhaps this is man's best friend, whether in life or after death......
Riding the elevator driven by wooden wheels, the two continued to descend.
"Wait, Ciri, I smell something familiar." Orlan stopped and said to the man beside him.
"Well, is that her?" Ciri asked anxiously, anxiously in a worried tone, desperate to know Yulia's whereabouts, but none of them found any clues along the way.
However, Oran's answer disappointed her a little, "It's the Firefighter Girl, and there's a Fireproof Girl's soul around here." It was like a spark flickering in the dark, and although it had become very faint, I could clearly feel her temperature. Forgive me for having to take her out of here, out of this lonely and dark filth place...... Don't worry, it won't take much time. ”
Ciri didn't object, and she understood from Oran's words that the matter was indeed important to him.
Oran's special affection for the Firefighter in his previous life made it impossible for Oran to ignore this soul, and they had dedicated their lives to the burning flames and endless darkness, so there was no reason for her remaining soul to be tormented here.
As a vessel of the soul, he could feel her call......
It didn't take long for the two of them to reach the end of the wooden bridge, where the entrance was no longer a wooden building, but a bluestone brick wall similar to the one used to build the town of the undead. It's more like a sewer outlet, at least that's what Oran thinks.
It didn't seem that it was so easy to obtain the soul of the fire girl, because Orlan had already heard quite a few monsters waiting for them around the corner, especially the barking of dogs.
Orlan blocked with his sword, only to hear several slender arrows in the darkness, and after accurately blocking these few blowguns with the spine of his sword, he accelerated his charge along the wall, aiming directly at the humanoid blowgun monster in the corner of the wall. After Orlan attracts all the monsters in all directions around him, Ciri joins the fray at the same time.
She was targeting the two monsters that were reloading poison arrows and aiming at Orlan's back, which Orlan had apparently given her all the way over. Ciri expertly draws two flying blades from the outside of her thighs, flexes her arms, accelerates, turns, and throws in one go. Even though the two blowers were not too close to each other, and the hit rate of throwing weapons in a dim environment would be greatly reduced, Ciri's precise and skilled one-handed double-edged throwing technique made Orlan have to applaud him, if he hadn't been busy swinging his sword to kill the monsters in front of him now. And those two crisp skull-breaking sounds already showed that Ciri had perfectly dealt with the threat behind him.
After Orlan had finished dealing with the monsters in front of him, there were no more enemies on the edge above the sewers they were on. But Orlan knew that the soul of the firefighter was below. Below? When I looked down, I saw that it was already a mad dog scurrying around, and the red corpse dogs that were densely packed with each other were constantly jumping and grabbing the edge of the sewer, eager to immediately rush up and devour the two of them cleanly.
After a few projections, Ciri ran out of flying blades and killed the few red dogs, which only aroused the ferocity of these beasts even more. I saw that the abdomen of several red dogs gradually bulged, and even faintly flashed with a red shimmer, and suddenly cone-shaped flames erupted from the fang-covered mouth.
Fortunately, the two of them had already seen that the situation was not good, and they immediately dodged, and with the skills of the two of them, they could certainly see through the attack intentions of these beasts. Orlan didn't have the right bow and arrows on him, and Gove's great bow didn't fit the situation, and he didn't have enough arrows.
Since the long-range attack is not successful, Oran is also ready to fight hard, landing and killing generally with large weapons will have a terrifying and powerful attack effect and range, how to be afraid of a few dying dogs with the wolf riding sword in his hand with the wolf riding sword technique?
Despite this, Orlan still took a more conservative approach, using sword skills and attaching a magic thunderbolt to immediately multiply the power and range of his attacks......
Moments later, Ciri left the sewers, and Orlan didn't want to endanger his teammates. There was a thunderclap and a flash of bright light, and the entire sewer was like daylight. At this time, the sewer was filled with the stench of burnt flesh...... The red dogs finally became tender inside and out.
When Ciri sees Orlan again, he finds him holding a ball of soul with a soft light in his hands.
