After turning a corner, Wood suddenly stopped at the first fork in the road and pointed to the two underground canals that split to the left and right: "One side leads to an abandoned market, and the other leads to an abandoned square, where are you going?" ”

Sycamore looked left and right a little dazedly, he was not familiar with this place at all, and he only ran in because he might find a clue to the ghoul, and he knew that he could find the ghoul only where he went.

After being stunned for a moment, Wutong suddenly remembered something, reached out and rummaged in his backpack for a while, pulled out a map case from it, and then pulled out a stack of large maps from the cylindrical map case, looked in it and took out one to carefully identify it.

"Found it!"

After looking at it for a while, Wutong found the location of the slum cistern they had slipped into from the map, and then asked Lingyue Frost and Xiaoxiao to help with the map, and took out another scroll box, and also pulled out one of the thick large maps inside, and compared it with the previous one.

"Where is this map?" Lingyue Shuangxue, who was helping to pull out the map, looked at it curiously.

"It's a detailed map of Fairhaven City!"

Wutong proudly held up the map in his hand, opened it and said, "The other is the old map of Fairhaven City!" ”

"A map of this underground ruined city?"

Lingyue Frost and Snow were dumbfounded: "How can you have this thing?" "The first Fairhaven panorama map is easy to understand, and it is sold on the street, but it is not so detailed, just a rough outline.

"It's not a map of this underground ruined city." Sycamore shook his head, and folded the open maps that needed to be held with both arms stretched out into a two-foot-square pile, which was exactly where they were now.

"These maps were one I found in the large library of Wienern College, the Fairhaven Map of the City over the Years, and I thought there was a detailed map that would make it easy for me to find places and buildings when I was on a mission, so I copied them [by copying] and recorded the maps of each area on the same one, and the 'old map' was copied by hand to make a reference with the 'new map', after all, there are some areas with new names on the map, and the names used by the people are still the old"

Wutong explained: "The building areas on the old map are roughly before the new city was built, so although it is not completely accurate, it should not be much different from what we see now. ”

"But what are you doing with the map?"

Lingyue Frost and Snow is puzzled, isn't there a living map next to it, a former profession is a thief, Wood, who knows more about this underground world than the map that I don't know how many years ago, right? Besides, if you want to find someone who is familiar with the environment, you don't need to go through the trouble of copying all the maps, just find a coachman who lives in Fairhaven, they are much more accurate than any map.

"Are you prepared?" Wutong didn't say no, just kept comparing the two maps, and replied casually: "My idea is that you don't think it's weird that the source of the epidemic can't be cleaned up in the city now?" ”

"Eccentric? Sure, weird? Otherwise, what are we going to do in this dark place full of cockroaches and rats? Lingyue Frost and Snow belly slandered, the beautiful female priest has a deep grudge against this "terrible" place!

"You want to!"

"Even if the ghouls are hiding in the underground ruined city, how do they spread the plague if they can't get to the ground?" As soon as they reach the ground, they will be discovered immediately at the level of martial law in Fairhaven City, right? It didn't even have time to spread the plague before it was discovered and killed by the law enforcement knights. ”

I have to say that in the world of fantasy background, sometimes some of the mage's detection spells are sharper than any bioradar and thermal infrared detection.

Lingyue Shuangxue's beautiful apricot eyes lit up, Wutong obviously got to the point, as for the little Lori with the monkey next to her, okay, she never cared about this, as long as she followed Brother Wutong and Sister Xiaoxue, so she was the most relaxed and comfortable here.

"And what do you mean?" Lingyue Frost and Snow couldn't fully understand the meaning of the sycamore.

"Water!"

Wutong pointed to the cold and warm water channels running through the whole city, the underground pipes from the springs, and the underground underground canals of the underground water on the map in his hand: "You say, ghouls, could it be that these water conservancy facilities are used as channels to spread the plague?" ”

Lingyue Frost Xue wondered, "According to my understanding of undead creatures, except for virtual creatures and some aquatic undead creatures, ordinary undead creatures are instinctively afraid of water, right?" Who will let their bodies decay at an accelerated rate?"

"I know that, too."

Wutong shrugged helplessly: "But at present, only this one explanation is more reasonable, because according to the case files I read at the Enforcer Knight Headquarters before, those ghouls on the surface have been cleaned and purified, and the areas where the plague still broke out in the second, third, and fourth degrees are almost all near the places where the springs, cold and warm waterways and underground canals are densely connected, and the other areas, even if they are infinitely close to the cemetery where the original plague broke out, have never been infected for the second degree after the surface has been cleaned and purified." ”

"Besides, did you find any? Those infected in the second and third degrees are said to have symptoms that are much less severe than when the first wave of the plague spread, and the farther away from the dense area where the underground water conservancy lines meet, the milder the symptoms and the fewer people infected."

"Water dilution surname?"

After Ling Yueshuang was stunned, she suddenly reacted, and said with disgust: "Do you mean that those ghouls have nothing to do and go to the underground ditch to soak in the bath, and let us drink their bath water to spread the plague?" ”

Sycamore shrugged his shoulders, the player and the aborigines are fundamentally not much different, they also need food, clothing, shelter and transportation, and the food they eat and the water they drink can also carry the source of the plague, which is why the players are also unable to avoid being infected with the [Ghoul Fever].

Poking the map with his finger, Wutong said: "And around here, there is a large number of underground water pipelines where they converge."

"Underground Reservoir !!" Wood, who was listening, exclaimed, "I know! It's an underground reservoir! ”

Wutong turned his head to look at the thin former hair thief, and without waiting for Wutong to ask, he took the initiative to point to the old map and said, "Master Mage, look! Over here! It's the abandoned underground water canal we are standing on! ”

They had drilled into the abandoned and dried underground canal through a crack in the slum cistern, so theoretically, they could have found the nearest underground water conservancy, the underground reservoir, as long as they walked along the abandoned underground canal.

In the underground of Fairhaven City, there are a large number of underground spaces built in imitation of underground lakes and underground rivers to store water, and these underground spaces are called underground reservoirs.

"The abandoned market is far away from the underground reservoir, and the underground plaza is exactly where the underground reservoir is located!" Wood's index finger, after a slight hesitation on the old map, found their location, and then moved up the route, dotting on a square building area of the Old Town.

With a detailed map and fairly reliable inference, coupled with Wood, a former thief guide who is familiar with the underground world, the hope of finding the ghoul's hiding place is much greater, and the group is led by Wood to quickly move along this abandoned underground ditch towards the goal.

"It's weird! boss！ Is your real occupation a police inspector? How can you reason so well? Moreover, just now at the headquarters of the Knights of the Enforcer, I saw that you just casually flipped through those files, and you actually wrote down all the contents inside? Didn't see you recite it? What kind of weird memory is this? ”

As she walked, Lingyue Frost Snow distracted herself by talking, avoiding paying too much attention to the scary little insects such as rats and cockroaches scurrying on the ground, she was the same as July Flowing Fire, Pea and others, although she signed an employment contract with "Secret Shadow Company" and became a salaried employee of "Secret Shadow Guild", the force of "Secret Shadow Company" in the game "Endless", but this contract is only limited to the game, and they also have their own jobs and lives in reality.

So although Sycamore is their direct boss and boss, they don't have much fear and awe of Indus, and they don't feel embarrassed when they usually come into contact, and they speak very casually and naturally, but more like friends.

Wutong was speechless for a while, if you change it, in a place where you can't feel the passage of time, but it does extend the extra time, read a book that you don't even know how long it is, and memorize the books equivalent to a library, what you see, you can also remember it at a glance, not to mention that Sycamore itself has the ability to remember quickly.

"This is the vicinity, but, Master Mage, we need to be careful next, it's dangerous here!"

Wood took his own wooden stick in his hand and cautiously looked around as he moved forward, his speed slowing down considerably, as if he were guarding against something from rushing out of the darkness beyond the range of the [Dancing Light] orbs of light around him.

"Is there anything here?"

"Some monsters living in the dark," Wood looked around nervously.

Wutong looked at him as if he was very nervous, and couldn't help but clench his Flame Rune Staff, Lingyue Frost Snow and Xiaoxiao also clenched their steel scepters and giant wooden sticks one after another, Wood saw Xiaoxiao such a little Lori, and actually took out a "tree trunk" that was bigger than her from her backpack and held it in her hand, her eyes were a little straight.

In Wutong's keen perception, he did feel that something was moving in the dark, but he didn't have the disgust and rejection of the ghouls when he encountered them, and he thought that it should be an underground creature living in a dark underground ruined city that couldn't see the sky, such as rats, bugs, snakes and other animals, at most it was a gigantic mutated version and an arcane beast version.

The same is true of the message from Lingyue Frost Snow, a priest, as a priest, she and Xiaoxiao's sense of undead creatures is stronger than that of him, a mage, and even they don't have much reaction, Wutong is a little relieved.

Even Wood, who is not a professional [poor], dares to operate in the underground ruined city, although it is only a small and relatively safe area, but theoretically speaking, there will not be such a terrible monster that exceeds their ability to bear, you know, they are not the previous Wuxia Amun, before and after the inauguration, it is not a concept at all.

"Squeak!"

As the sound of the darkness became more and more pronounced, an unusually large rat appeared in front of them, and it suddenly pounced out of the darkness and pounced on the sycamore surrounded by four [Dancing Light Technique] orbs of light.

Wu De screamed in horror, turned his head and ran to the side, shouting as he ran: "Your Excellency, Run!" ”

Looking at Wood, who disappeared from his sight, Wutong was speechless for a while, he really deserved to be a thief, he ran so fast, and he was not inferior to the profession of a wanderer.

But seeing this huge mouse pounce out, Wutong and they were relieved, Wutong didn't even make a move, and Xiao Lori carried her large lollipop with great interest, "Ah~!" With a bang, he picked up the giant wooden stick and hit a home run at the big rat that pounced!

"Bang!" With a bang, the scattered flesh turned into a puff of mist, and all of it was pasted in a radial shape on the moss-covered walls of the underground canal, staining a strange abstract painting.

Xiaoxiao's attack is still so bloody and brutal! Although it is not appropriate to describe a pink and cute, soft and tender little Lori who looks like a little angel, but the smile that can't see the effect of his blow is indeed more brutal than those brutes who are full of muscles

The creature that was smashed by her with that large lollipop was lucky enough to keep a whole corpse, but if she was unlucky, she encountered the [Power Explosion] effect that triggered the [Two-Headed Giant Skull Shattering Giant Wooden Stick], and the bones were directly gone, and even the bones could be shattered.

It's just a ferocious mouse, although it's bigger than an ordinary mouse, but it's just a mouse after all, and the way of attack can't get out of the physiological category of mice, it's nothing more than to pounce and scratch or gnaw with their sharp front teeth, and meet Xiaoxiao, a little Lori with a big wooden stick, can only be said to be their misfortune.

After killing the ferocious rat that came out of nowhere, the three of them continued to move forward, and Wood, the coward, had already run away without a trace in such a short period of time, which made Sycamore and them a little dumbfounded.

Fortunately, there is only a straight road in the underground canal, and there is no fork in the road for the time being, and the map shows that there is an abandoned square not far ahead, so Wutong and they are not in a hurry to chase Wood, and they are still cautious and moving at an even speed to prevent small monsters like ferocious rats from rushing out in the dark.

After moving forward for about ten minutes, they didn't encounter the monster again, and they found themselves in a relatively empty place, connected by the holes of several underground canals, obviously this is a meeting point, and around the meeting point, there are also stairs leading to the top Overall, the environment of the underground canal is very similar to the subway station, except that there are no rails and trains on the ground.

Distinguishing the marks on the ground, some footprints on the damp dirt, proved that Wood had hurried up the stairs, which should have been an abandoned underground plaza.

Just as they were about to go up, Wutong and they suddenly heard faint shouts and screams from another underground canal, and they couldn't help but be stunned, there are other people here?

Glancing at each other, Wutong and Lingyue Frost Snow hurriedly ran to the place where the sound came from with a smile, not far away, a terrible thing was squirming disgustingly, and a slender figure was wrapped in its body, struggling desperately!

Gummy monsters, a kind of thing similar to slugs, it has no obvious organs and organs, the whole thing is a large mass of viscous gray-white substance, moving by wriggling, this strange creature, it is not a fungus or anything, in short, they like to hang themselves on the roof of a cave or the ceiling of a building, and when a creature passes under them, they release the ceiling they are sucking into, fall on the head of the unlucky ghost, wrap them up, wrap them in their body and eat them.

Obviously, the unlucky ghost who is currently struggling desperately inside this disgusting gray-white gelatinous monster is the prey of this gelatinous monster that likes to live in the dark, damp underground.

"Evil~! It's disgusting! Lingyue Frost Snow grinned as she released a blast of holy light [causing minor injuries]!

"Smack!" Suddenly, the pale golden holy light energy blasted on the surface of the gelatinous monster's body, bursting out a large piece of viscous body fluid, as if it could feel pain, it squirmed violently, and crawled towards the sycamore.

Wutong twitched the corner of his mouth, this thing looked less pleasing than a zombie, a big lump of sticky old phlegm

The Holy Light Strike didn't seem to have much effect on this soft creature, and the two priests were suddenly a little at a loss, and the girl's heavenly surname made them see this big lump of "old phlegm" crawling towards them, and they couldn't help but instinctively retreat.

And Wutong had already raised his hand to release the spell, but when he saw that the unlucky ghost who was wrapped in old phlegm was still struggling, he couldn't help but pause, replaced it with a flamethrow, and spewed out a flame from the staff, sweeping the space of the underground canal, whistling and wrapping the gelatinous monster!

It's like a flame touching water, and I heard a sound of "呲~", and a large cloud of smoke rose from the gelatinous monster's body, since this thing is a soft creature, and it can change shape and wriggle at will, so it proves that most of its body is liquid, and when it hits fire, it is equivalent to meeting a nemesis!
