Chapter 013: Enter the Devouring Crypt
I've been busy with my sister's wedding these days, but fortunately, I'm finally busy today.
I read the message in the book review area, and I specially apologize for the update.

Devouring Crypt
"It is located in a hilly hollow near the southern edge of the Thorn Forest, and there is a path that leads to the mouth of the cave. I remember that it was summer, and the entrance of the cave was covered with green moss, wild penny, and thatch, and on the top of the cave more than five feet high, a large field of green vines hung down to cover the entrance of the cave. β
Yasuo had only heard these descriptions from the old Baron Archie Menon a long time ago.
These adventures of youth, except for the old Baron of Archimenon and a few people of the time, until recently, no one knew the secret. The humans of the five towns may know about the existence of the Devouring Crypt, but no one knows that this crypt connects to the interior of the Ogre Tribe.
As for what happened inside the Devouring Crypt, Yasuo himself had not personally set foot in it, but knew that the other exit from it was the ogre's toilet and the place where the bones and food scraps were thrown. The old Baron of Archimen, who had personally arrived there in his youth.
After so many years, whether the ogre has transformed his tribe or not, that is not something that Yasuo can know.
In addition to some of the stories of old Baron Archimenon, Yasuo also knew about the creatures inside the devouring crypt, the bloodthirsty giant rats.
This kind of monster belongs to the second-order monster and likes to live in groups.
The bloodthirsty giant rat has a strong territoriality, but also very cruel and bloodthirsty, killing all creatures that intrude into its territory except for the ogre, and at the same time carrying violent bacteria on its body, even a little scratch is a certain death.
Snow is something that can make people feel a lot of emotions.
As the snow fell from the sky like cotton wool under his feet, Yasuo led 32 Lol Cardin swordsmen and 2o hunters to carefully traverse the wet woodland.
As far as the eye can see, the whole world is white like a fairytale kingdom of ice and snow.
When I saw the hills and hollows, many feelings rose in everyone's hearts, but even though the road ahead was full of unknown dangers, Yasuo also felt a smooth mood. Because, the opportunity is right in front of you.
"It is said that the bloodthirsty giant rat is a ferocious monster that is born to submit to ogres. It is not an exaggeration to say that the murderous and bloodthirsty monsters are merely ogres' watchdogs, or the animals that are kept in captivity ready to feed their hunger. β
Lying on the ground and crawling forward, his body was covered with snow, and the inside of the cotton armor was probably wet. Yasuo stared at the thirty or so ogres under the recess, and waved his hand silently. Under the leadership of the guard officer Leon, the 32 Lorkadan swordsmen seemed to be silent and straightened, and their movements spread out to the sides in order, burrowing into the soft snow and camouflaging their bodies.
When a qiΔ was ready, the 2o townsfolk hunters, with a murderous aura all over their bodies, suddenly stood up straight.
"Shoot the arrows!"
The order has been given.
With Yasuo's voice, the hunters aimed at a bunch of figures under the hollow, the pull of the arm quickly deformed the string, and after letting go, the elastic potential energy of the bow was immediately converted into the kinetic energy of the arrow, and it quickly sank into the hollow.
Xiuxiuββββββ
Due to the weather, only a third of the 2o arrows can hit the target.
But because it is condescending, the terrain brings more ferocious penetrating power to the arrowhead. In the hollows of the hills, an ogre was eating, his forehead pierced, his mouth slightly open, but his eyes flashed with a dull and dead light, staring straight ahead, and his body was wearing an unprocessed animal skin, and the surface of the unpatterned surface was covered with white fur.
At the same time, around the neck, there was a red thing. The strange shape and the terrible smell of it, as if it were the intestines of some kind of animal.
"Roar---"
Only five or six ogres fell. The rest of the ogres scattered with a roar, and some of them quickly picked up rough wooden shields in their hands and rushed up the snowy slopes.
From their reactions, it is clear that they did not take the 2o human hunters into account, not to mention that the distance from the hollow to the hilly slope is actually not very far.
As Yasuo was able to glimpse. Unlike encounters in the damp woodlands, these elite ogre soldiers guarding the hollows are generally of the first rank of butchers.

"Hold steady - don't retreat without my orders, and shoot freely at your choice."
Yasuo commanded the hunter beside him and drew his sword. He subconsciously contracted his pupils, mentally calculating the time when the ogre would rush up the snowy slope. In this distance, I saw that seven or eight more ogres fell with arrows, and Yasuo shouted, "Leon! β
Seeing that the ogre is about to meet 2o hunters. Hearing the general's order, the swordsmen of Lol Cardin, who were lying at both ends of the snow slope, suddenly lifted a burst of snow mist at this time, held the cross sword, and shouted, "-For Lol Cardin!" β
Meet at close quarters. They are also elite soldiers, the Lorkadan swordsmen, outnumbered the Ogre Butchers who were attritioned by bows and arrows.
So, there is basically no suspense in this skirmish. As early as the beginning of the battle, when Yasuo specified the battle plan, the outcome was already decided.
Seeing so many human swordsmen suddenly sharpened. The ogre butcher who rushed up the snowy slope was as frightened as a bird.
"Lorkadan!"
Leon himself, the officer of the guard, ran with a well-proportioned and powerful gait, rhythmic, like two heavy bags of flour falling alternately on the snow. He shrugged his shoulders and held his chest high, his eyes were level, and a cloak was flicked behind him, revealing a chic and bold military temperament.
Leon, as a second-order warrior with a sword, excelled in this skirmish, single-handedly killing three ogre butchers.
A swordsman of Loel Cardan, he excels in hard-hitting swordsmanship. The battle had barely lasted five minutes before the Ogre Butcher was defeated. The remaining six ogres turned and fled to the bottom of the hollow. It's a pity that the hunters who drew the bow and wound it decisively hit them.

The exact location of the Devouring Crypt did not have a detailed idea in Yasuo's mind.
The ogre unleashed the guards, which was self-defeating. In this limited area, Yasuo soon found the entrance to the crypt, which was hidden by a combination of snow and branches.
Personally led two swordsmen to gently touch the mouth. A stone resembling a grinding stone appeared in front of him, slightly smaller at the top, slightly larger at the bottom, with a mark about five inches deep in the middle, and a small nest at the top, in which there were several cubs of bloodthirsty giant rats that had not yet opened their eyes.
Yasuo grabbed a handful of soil from the crypt and sniffed it under his nose, at this time, the corners of his mouth turned slightly, "Take these cubs, let's go out." β
To this day, Yasuo still remembers the words of the old Baron Archimen, "If you want to get through the guΓ² cavern and not attract the attention of the bloodthirsty giant rat, you must smear the blood of the bloodthirsty giant rat on your body." Believe me, bloodthirsty rats are not as scary as they look, these beasts are blind, and they can deceive these smelly rat monsters with their smell. β
Killed a few cubs. The face of each Lol Cardin swordsman was smeared with the blood of a bloodthirsty giant rat.
Yasuo felt confident and later continued to give orders, "Bury the corpses of these ogres and wipe the blood from the snow." Find a few sticks of firewood and make zuΓ² torches from the oil we carry. Now, let's enter the Devouring Crypt. β
After about half an hour, the hazy surroundings were scattered with light from the outside, and Yasuo's breath was filled with all kinds of dark and foul smells.
Unlike the entrance to the crypt, the passage of the devouring crypt is sometimes wide and sometimes narrow, with the width allowing two people to stand side by side, and the narrow place allowing one person to crawl sideways.
