Chapter 014: The Other End of the Crypt
It's a dark, damp, oppressive, stuffy crypt.
Time is like a dripstone hanging overhead, passing slowly and drop by drop.
On both sides of the cavern passage are the nests of many bloodthirsty giant rats, as well as some mysterious and eerie forks.
Walking in the Devouring Crypt, Yasuo vaguely remembered the advice of the old Baron Archimen, "When you encounter a fork in the road in the Devouring Crypt, only look for the right way." Don't panic when you encounter a bloodthirsty giant rat, and extinguish the torch quickly. Bloodthirsty giant rats are particularly sensitive to the smell of blood, so as long as they are smeared with the blood of the same kind of giant rats, they can survive the danger. β
For a while, there were terrible sounds from the depths of the crypt, like the howl of a wild boar, mixed with the sound of knives slashing at flesh and shattering bones.
"Stop!"
At Yasuo's command, everyone's movements suddenly stopped as if a knife had cut the strings of a harp. It wasn't until the sound got closer and closer that Leon quickly ordered someone to extinguish the torch.
"Something is approaching, get down!"
Thirty or so Lorkadan swordsmen and twenty hunters all fell to the ground. For the next period of time, everyone held their breath. I tried to find a little more of the sound I had just heard, but I could only hear the sound of my own heartbeat.
This silence lasted until Yasuo's patience was running out.
Just as he was about to get up, Leon, the guard officer beside him, kept winking. The quick-witted Yasuo noticed this.
And he knew in his heart that he should trust the keen vigilance of a second-order professional at this time.
Whew--Whewββββββ
After about two minutes, the breath that stayed in Yasuo's ear was very wet, and he could feel that tongue was soft and waxy, shaking slightly.
A rounded nose drips down a brushed mucus. Through the silhouette of the object seen in the darkness, Yasuo shook his head at Leon beside him, stopping him from drawing his sword. And in the next few minutes, Yasuo's judgment proved to be correct.
When there was a slight noise in the tunnel, the bloodthirsty rat quickly trotted down Yasuo's shoulder.
The cubs of the bloodthirsty giant rat were carefully examined before, and the cubs had pointed heads, long snouts, short limbs, and short and fat bodies that were only more than 3o centimeters long, and looked like rats. And the pinna degenerates, and the eye area is covered by fine fur.
At this time, an adult bloodthirsty giant rat pressed over his body, but Yasuo could feel that its body length was already two meters, and its weight should be about 2oo catties.
Yasuo judged from more senses that the body structure of the bloodthirsty giant rat was perfectly adapted to the underground lifestyle, with large, turned outward front feet and powerful claws, like two shovels.
In terms of physical outline, the head of the bloodthirsty giant rat follows the shoulder, and it looks like it has no neck, and the entire skeleton is short and flat.
"Danger lifted, light the torch!"
"General!"
Yasuo shook his head at Leon, indicating that it was all right.
After a close 'close' encounter with a second-order beast, there was finally no danger, and with Yasuo's signal, Leon quickly beckoned the Lorcadian soldiers to move on.
In places where the sun does not shine all year round, it is always the darkest and damp storezΓ i.
And in this dark tide, there will be something moldy that is constantly growing, with its amazing tenacity, hard to grow, and the momentum cannot be stopped. It is like a weed, no matter how bad the environment is, it always shows a lot of vitality.
Different mushrooms have different flavors.
Generally, the taste of poisonous mushrooms is pungent, and those that are not poisonous generally exude fragrance.
But there are exceptions to everything, such as the undead mushroom that appeared in Yasuo, which is not only as white as bones. The smell of the strange fragrance kept drilling into his nose from the beginning, reaching his heart and lungs, and the smell made Yasuo feel dizzy. At this time, there were already many Lol Cardin swordsmen who were somewhat unsteady on their feet.
And if you want to get through here safely, you can only barely support yourself from passing out by covering your mouth and nose with a damp cloth soaked in urine.
"The undead mushroom, even the deadliest poisonous plant in the Solar Plains, is not as poisonous as it. Tell everyone, collect as much as possible, maybe you can use it in the future. β
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
The olfactory system, so to speak, is the third hand that the bloodthirsty giant rat uses to catch food, and it is an extremely sensitive olfactory organ. In addition to the bloodthirsty giant rats, which are unique second-order predators, there are also giant ants, poisonous snakes, and various unnamed molluscs and reptiles.
Even in the battle in the hills and hollows, not a single robe was sacrificed, but here, two of Yasuo's men fell permanently in front of him.
There were a few encounters with bloodthirsty giant rats, which made almost everyone tense their nerves, and in the first twenty minutes, everyone used torches and long swords to disperse poisonous insects, but two hunters were still careless and were bitten by a few poisonous insects that slipped through the net.
The bodies of the two robes were abandoned in the darkest and most damp crypt.
This part of the road was extremely depressing and long, even though it was only two hours, but it was as long as two days, or even two months. Yasuo's ears heard the sound of the Lorkadan swordsman gasping for air. And the 18 townsfolk hunters were even more unbearable, the thin oxygen made their faces red, and they fell into a situation where they could not breathe. Yasuo could hear the weak-willed ones muttering to themselves on the way, looking like they might lose their minds at any moment.
After all, the endurance of a first-order professional is not as strong as imagined. Not to mention ordinary people who don't have a career, if it weren't for Yasuo's previous life in the spiritual realm space with the experience of being 'imprisoned' for thousands of years, maybe he would have collapsed long ago.
Near the exit, a thin light finally shone in from the other end of the crypt.
However, the face of the Lol Cardin people was not happy.
"Be careful! βββββ
The swordsman of Lorkadan, who was walking in the forefront, whispered, and immediately someone gestured to his comrades behind him.
In the eyes, several bloodthirsty giant rats blocking the entrance of the crypt seemed to be asleep.
With the help of bright light, Yasuo was finally able to see what they looked like.
In Yasuo's perspective, the bloodthirsty giant rat's most iconic features, in addition to its ugly appearance, are its sniffy nose like a pig's nose and a few exposed razor-sharp fangs.
β¦β¦ Their tails are small and powerful, their ears have no outer outline, and their bodies are dense, short, silky, black-brown hairs with unfixed tips pointing in a certain direction, and they are crooked and messy.
The crypt is very humid and prone to breeding earthworms and poisonous insects.
Yasuo judged that these characteristics were ideal for it to run freely around the narrow tunnels.
It is also very convenient for it to eat in the underground 'restaurant' frequently.
"Everyone, be vigilant. Leon leads people over, and he must kill him with one blow and do not make any mistakes. Yasuo gave this order almost immediately, knowing that there was no other way to get through the GuΓ² Crypt.
At this moment, I heard the order of General Yasuo.
Leon, the officer of the guard, selected a few brave swordsmen, one deep and one shallow, and approached cautiously.
At this time, Leon's blue focused eyes bulged slightly, forming a plane with the eye sockets, and the moment he raised his long sword, his eyes looked a little tough because of his heart's blood.
Suddenly.
PhewββββHumββββββ
A bloodthirsty giant rat suddenly woke up, stretched out its nose and inhaled. As if smelling an unknown danger approaching.
But also because its eyes were sunken deep under the skin, and its vision was completely degraded to nothing, so the brave Lorkadan swordsman could still maintain his composure.
Calm and highly tense, the tip of the sword in the hands of Leon and several Lorkadin swordsmen was aimed at the throat or heart of the bloodthirsty giant rat.
"Killβ"
With a shout, his sword fell.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Arrived safely at the other end of the devouring crypt. The scene in front of him was basically the same as what Old Lord Archie Mennon once said.
The only discrepancy, the disgusting smell here, was completely out of Yasuo's imagination.
It was a foul, muddy stagnant water, and the wind could not blow the slightest ripple on it.
Most of the ogre's 'leftovers' are human and animal internal organs, and most of them are bones. Over the years, it was enough to make the stagnant water almost fermented into 'green wine', and it was full of maggot-like white foam. Those disgusting red fat worms that resembled earthworms were enough for Yasuo to be glad that he hadn't suffered from any dense phobia.
