A common feature of the military fortresses of the Faentan Empire was that each military fortress had an escape route hidden in the conference room for an emergency so that a high-ranking officer could safely evacuate with a small number of soldiers and important confidential documents.

Finn led Lilith through the secret door, then pulled down the lever from behind the door, and after watching the secret door close again, he gradually walked down the stairs leading to the underground to the depths of the dark secret passage.

The staircase of the secret passage continued to stretch underground, and it took Finn and Lilith nearly five minutes to descend the stairs before they felt the ground flatten.

After walking up the stairs for five minutes, Finn and Lilith noticed that the ground beneath their feet had turned from stone bricks to dirt, and the walls around them had changed from stone walls to moss-covered rock walls.

The place where the two of them were at this time was not so much a man-made fortress secret passage as a natural cave tunnel hidden inside the mountain.

"Lilith, I forgot to bring a torch when I came in, can you see something?" After a while, Finn suddenly realized that he had overlooked something, so he turned to Lilith behind him and asked.

Although Lilith didn't say anything as she descended the stairs, considering her disconnected brain circuitry, Fein thought it would be better to confirm everything.

"I can see it." Lilith looked puzzled, "It's strange, there's no light here, why can I see things?" ”

"This should be the effect." "You may have some special races in you, so you have inherited some of those racial traits that allow you to see things in the dark," Finn speculated. ”

"Do you have that too?" Lilith asked.

"I have it too." Fein admits, "Because I'm not exactly human either." ”

"And what race blood do you have?"

"Unfortunately, I don't know."

Fein is telling the truth, as the race column in his attribute template only shows "Human/?" (male)".

But-

[Race Specialty (Human) - Versatile: Part-time is not subject to experience penalty, +1 extra probe points initially, +1 extra probe point for every 5 levels of total level]

Racial Expertise (?) - Dark Vision: Vision is not affected by the dark environment]

Although he didn't know which bloodline the question mark represented, Finn did enjoy the benefits.

That's enough.

As for your other half of your bloodline? We'll talk about that later.

As long as it's not some kobold stuff like a kobold.

"Finn, wait." Suddenly, Finn was about to continue walking when Lilith grabbed Finn's hand and grabbed Finn by the hand.

"What's wrong, Lilith?" Finn's feet stopped.

"Blood."

"Blood?"

"It smells of blood."

“…… I understand. ”

Hearing Lilith say this, Finn hurriedly held his breath and sniffed a few times with his nose,

His perceptual attribute is 16 points, which is nearly half the 10 points of a normal adult human. Sure enough, upon closer inspection, he immediately noticed that there was a smell of blood with a rancid smell coming from behind the corner in front of the corridor.

"Lilith, wait for me."

Finn lowered his voice and motioned for Lilith to stand still, then drew his sword from his waist, crouched down slightly, and walked lightly to the front of the corridor.

If only there were thieves' skills at this time—he thought to himself.

Soon, Fein clinged to the rock wall of the cavern's pathway, and cautiously came around the corner.

He held his breath and listened with his ears, and after making sure there was no strange movement around him, he slowly stuck his head out of the corner.

Then, he saw that five or six meters behind the corner, a giant tarantula nearly two meters tall was chewing something there, and several human corpses wearing Fauntandi** suits were piled up on the legs of the giant tarantula.

"It's a miserable ......" Looking at the picture of the giant tarantula devouring the corpse, Finn frowned, probably guessing something in his heart.

Those human corpses were the officers and soldiers who had escaped from the Ork Fortress. These people came here before Finn and Lilith, but they acted as cannon fodder to help Finn and Lilith sweep away the mines, and at this time they became the food of the monsters.

[Moork Giant Tarantula, Animal/Living/Elite Creature, Total Level 6 (Level 6 Beast), HP 108/108]

Finn observed the giant spider, quickly recalling information about the other party in his mind, and then realized that the situation had become very tricky.

Although it can be said that such a thing as skipping the level to kill monsters can be said to be the daily task of the protagonist of the Otherworldly Crossing Flow novel, Finn is now only a first-level civilian, and he is still a first-level civilian.

A first-level civilian kills a sixth-level monster alone?

Five levels worse?

Or is it just an elite creature?

Obedient......

In his previous life, if this kind of thing could be done easily, Fein would definitely send an email to the game company every minute to tell the other party that there was a bug in the game.

Suddenly, just as Finn had a headache as to how to solve the current trouble, the giant tarantula that devoured the corpse suddenly stopped its work, and the six eyes on its forehead turned as if searching for prey.

Soon, the giant tarantula's six-character eyes locked onto Finn's location.

"It's broken!" Fein secretly screamed in his heart, and immediately withdrew his head and took a few steps back.

However, it was too late.

"Lilith, run!"

“？”

Lilith blinked, and saw Finn turn to her side with a ghostly expression.

Then, she saw a giant two-meter-tall tarantula run out of the corner behind Finn with a movement that even a deaf person could detect.

The giant tarantula lifted its two sharp front legs and slashed at Finn's back. Finn didn't have time to dodge, and was crushed under him on the spot by the giant tarantula with two front legs piercing his back.

After completing the assault on Finn, the giant tarantula pulls both of its front legs out of Finn's back. Finn tightened, his pupils dilated, and he coughed up a ball of blood from his mouth, and then lay at the feet of the giant tarantula and stopped moving.

“… Fee... Kindness? ”

Lilith looked at the scene in disbelief, a look of fear in her eyes for the first time.

After Finn fell, she called Finn by name in a somewhat trembling voice, but found that the other party did not respond to him, just lying motionless in front of her eyes only two or three meters away.

A terrible conjecture suddenly crossed her mind.

Finn is dead.

The boy who had escaped the execution ground with her all the way to this place died.

Fear, and anger...... Lilith clenched her fists unconsciously.

In an instant, that strange feeling came back to the body. She felt the familiar yet unfamiliar power surging out of her body again, ready to be released, eager to be released.

Then, a whole concept of magic immediately took shape in her mind, from the structure to the way it was performed......

The six eyes of the Moork giant tarantula were fixed on Lilith, and in turn, Lilith also stared directly at the giant tarantula that trampled Finn under her feet. She bit her lips and trembled slightly, but she didn't intend to take a step back.

Suddenly, the Murk giant tarantula moved.

Lilith was stunned for a moment, only to see Finn suddenly get up from the tarantula's feet, shrug his shoulders and open the tarantula's front legs, and then stabbed his sword into the tarantula's abdomen.

"Ahh Finn let out a savage roar, gripped the hilt of his sword tightly in both hands, and toppled the unresponsive Molk giant tarantula with almost twice as much force as a normal person.

Then, the giant tarantula that had stepped on Finn's feet a few seconds ago kept it in a sideways position, and was pushed onto the rock wall on the side of the tunnel by Finn, making a muffled "thump" sound.

"Finn, you're not dead?" Confirming that Fein was still alive, Lilith was pleasantly surprised.

"Run first, I'll talk about it later!" After holding the giant Molk tarantula against the wall, Finn dropped the sword still in the tarantula's belly, grabbed Lilith's hand and ran deeper into the tunnel.
