The challenges in the White Tomb are mainly undead creatures, supplemented by traps, and if you want to track Caroline's traces safely and openly in the dark tomb, you need extremely high reconnaissance skills, which Yang Shou does not have at present.
Fortunately, he was tracking Caroline, the proud daughter of the sky,
Along the way, Yang Shou tried his best to catch up with the mark left by Caroline, and as he moved forward, he speculated about what state Caroline was in when she passed by here a few hours ago, what was her speed, and whether she was injured......
Because of his concern for Caroline, anxious emotions have been spreading in Yang Shou's heart, but he is pressed in the deepest part of his heart.
Caroline's choice was unexpected by Yang Shou, but Yang Shou couldn't blame her, just complained that he didn't expect this.
Isn't sacrificing herself to save others exactly Caroline's character?
The deep passages lead in all directions, and the occasional roar of unknown monsters echoes through the empty underground space, and it seems that a terrifying monster will rush through the dark passage at any moment.
But the knights' formation was very neat, imposing, and powerful, and every order of Yang Shou was fully executed, and no one looked forward or backward.
With such a strong steel army as the backing, Yang Shou felt a lot more at ease.
……
"Kill!"
More than 20 cavalrymen formed a phalanx and sprinted with all their strength in the narrow passage, like a fully armed beast, with extraordinary momentum, and the uniform footsteps were like the drums and trumpets of the charge, moving forward!
"Bang!"
The ghouls in the middle of the aisle wanted to jump up and crash through the square, but the cavalry were close to each other, and the strength of dozens of people was all transmitted to the shields in the front row.
The ghoul was firmly pressed against the foot of the wall, although the strength was infinite, but the top was open one or two, but it could not withstand the others who rushed forward and back, and they were suppressed for a while.
Yang Shou and Jian waited for the opportunity to move, taking advantage of the ghoul's inconvenience, going up to pump the cold is a knife, and the knife went into the flesh!
The poor ghoul is notorious, and he can tear human soldiers apart casually, but now he can only be beaten. However, in just 30 seconds, the ghoul who was difficult to move was cut off by Yang Shouyi's sword, and his life was whimpered.
The crowd was in high spirits, this was the kind of monster that was outside the paladin's grave in the first place? That's just it~
Five minutes later.
In the foreground on the right, there was a strange cry of "coo-coo" in the darkness, accompanied by the faint sound of flowing water, which faintly reached everyone's ears.
Yang Shou raised his hand and threw the torch in front, and by the flickering light of the fire, he could see a large hole in the wall on the right side of the passage. Black water slowly seeped out from the crumbling stones below the hole, and it was from there that strange sounds came from.
The torches on the ground were quickly soaked with water, and the flames slowly became smaller, and just when the light of the torches was almost completely gone, several thin black shadows suddenly burst out of the black hole, and with the scream of "chirp", they flew towards everyone!
"Shoot!"
With a wave of Yang Shou's big hand, the knights who had already prepared reached out their right hands from behind their shields, raised their small one-handed crossbows and aimed them in front of them, and decisively pulled the trigger.
A total of sixteen people in two rows fired a salvo, "whoosh!" in the dark. The sound of breaking the air and the sharp screams were mixed together, but it was impossible to see the specific situation, which made people's scalps tingle.
But then, the expected hand-to-hand encounter did not happen, and the shadows did not rush forward, leaving only five or six corpses lying on the ground.
For a moment, the silence in the passage was a little eerie.
If it was a normal time, the people at the front of the team would definitely go up to check it out, but before the battle began, Yang Shou ordered everyone to stay where they were, defend with shields, and not move without his orders.
So everyone suppressed their curiosity and honestly hid behind the tight shield array.
What broke the silence was a dazzling red glow!
"Cangchang!"
"Chirp!"
Outside the light range of the torches, everyone vaguely saw that a red light suddenly appeared from a distance, drawing several short arcs in the darkness, provoking countless screams!
Where the red light passed, several figures hiding in the shadows had no place to hide, two were directly cut in half by the red light, and the rest ran back to the cave in a panic with screams.
Yang Shou walked over from the other side of the passage and kicked the corpse on the ground with his foot, and couldn't help pinching his nose with a look of disgust.
These underground fishmen have a low IQ, and they will play them around with one move.
However, in the eyes of these people in the cavalry team, Yang Shou's performance can be described as amazing.
It turned out to be sword qi! In the entire Knights of Cedar Town, except for Lord Caroline and Adjutant Jane, there was no third person who cultivated sword qi!
This has nothing to do with hard work, it's purely a matter of talent, and this recruit is really surprising.
Moreover, the tactical arrangement just now requires a very good understanding of the enemy's habits and characteristics, and it is also necessary to be bold and careful, there are at least ten fishmen who rushed out just now, and it is easy to mess up the whole thing if it is not handled well.
"Come here, all inside." Yang Shou pointed to the hole in the wall next to him and said.
"Want to go in?" Jane walked over and frowned.
The stench of mystery emitted from the cave is really disgusting, and I don't know how long these underground fishmen have lived here, just smelling it makes my brain hurt.
"Jane doesn't need it, you rely on speed for a while,"
Yang Shou smiled and said, "The others must go in, smear the mud on their bodies, and there will be a flame trap in front of them for a while, and we must rush over before the second trap is activated." When the time comes, you have to be fast, otherwise you will be roasted into a flower chicken if you smear the mud. ”
All the knights were silent, they didn't know what it was, but everyone could imagine the end of being roasted twice by the flame trap.
There was no way, everyone could only pinch their noses and burrow into the hole in the wall in turn.
The underground fishmen are good at sneak attacks, but they are very timid, and they were killed by Yang Shou and several of their companions, and they have long since disappeared.
The crowd came to the water's edge, quickly plastered their shields, armor, and armor with a thick layer of mud, and then hurriedly ran out of the cave, "snorting" and panting.
Everything was ready, and with Yang Shou's order, the soldiers lined up in four rows raised their shields and rushed to the end of the passage as fast as they could!
"Boom!"
Jane's speed was the fastest, and she rushed through the last distance of the passage like lightning, and the flames above her head almost grazed Jane's heels and erupted, almost filling the entire passage, and then spread backwards along the only exit, crazy **** everything he touched.
The knights hid behind their shields, letting the crimson flames envelop them, feeling their armor getting hotter and hotter, and running a little faster.
Moments later, the raging tongues of fire faded, and the last four members of the line had just passed through the deep hallway, their faces in shock. The wet mud on the knights' bodies had already been roasted, and there was no moisture left, which showed the high temperature of the flames just now!
Fortunately, everyone rushed over in one go, except for a few people's hair was burned, no one was injured!
Everyone subconsciously looked back, and this time it was only two or three seconds later, and the monstrous flames had filled the entire corridor again, and the narrow passage had once again turned into a flaming hell.
"I'm glad to have you,"
Jane was also a little scared, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "Let's charge into battle, in the face of these ancient tomb traps, I'm afraid there is no chance of winning at all." ”
The solemn look on Yang Shou's face was still the same, and he shook his head slightly: "The most dangerous thing in this tomb is not the trap, but those undead. Knights, if you want to get Lord Caroline back, it's up to you! ”
"Waiting for your orders." The knight captain held the sword in one hand, tapped his right chest hard, and said in a deep voice.
Yang Shou nodded and turned his head to look ahead.
There are two forks in the road ahead, one on the left and one on the right, and the mark left by Caroline is engraved in the conspicuous place of the entrance on the left. However, Yang Shou just poked his head and looked in, and with a wave of his big hand, he commanded the team to walk towards the hole on the right.
"My lord, why don't you go this way?" The cavalry captain saw the mark on the wall and couldn't help but wonder at Yang Shou.
"It's too dangerous, let's take a detour." Yang Shou didn't say much, and hurried away. The cavalry captain and Adjutant Jane glanced at each other, hesitated slightly, and immediately quickened their pace to follow.
Caroline's path is too treacherous, with countless mechanisms along the way, and it may alarm hordes of elite ghouls. With Caroline's skills, it is not a problem to pass here, but her own gang is looking for death when they enter.
Yang Shou wiped the sweat on his face, rubbed his somewhat damp palms with his clothes, and his eyes were sharp.
Through here, it is the core area of the tomb.
I said, Caroline, where the hell are you, but don't rush to the center of the tomb alone!
