As the trip progresses, after passing an important node marked on the map. Suddenly, the oppressive corridor suddenly opened up, and an even wider avenue stretched straight forward into the darkness in the distance. What was originally a one-way street on both sides of the canal has expanded into a two-way street in the blink of an eye.

The sound of soft footsteps echoed in my ears, and the corridor in front of me stretched forward in the darkness. The light of the bull's-eye lantern could only reach a few dozen feet away, and darkness shrouded both in front of and behind him—with the attrition and fighting, the torches that had been prepared had already been exhausted, and this was the most important source of light for everyone.

The light spreads as the adventurer advances, and the place gradually returns to the dark dead silence of the place it has passed. It's like walking down an uninhabited alley at midnight. It's empty all around, and it feels creepy.

Noodle raised the lantern above his head to take in the environment from all angles: "Is this really a sewer?" It's not an escape tunnel or a hiding hole or anything. ”

"Maybe there really was some other use in the past, the construction process here is different from the previous ones, it seems to be in the style of the golden dwarves of the Valley of Mithril. I think it's another example of using ancient ruins! "The dwarves, who can see freely in the dark, use their superior knowledge of stonemasons to give everyone the most basic answers.

"I don't know when this is the ruin, but I think we're in trouble for the rest of our trip." Saying that, Barrett came to a rib arch of the road, stretched out his hand and stroked it, "This time there is really a mastermind behind this incident, but those guys are actually undisguised, are they really so unscrupulous?" ”

"Let me see what it is!" The noodles are drilled between Barrett and the rib arch. Immediately after that, his face suddenly became ugly: "It's not good to have no dark vision, I actually missed such an important thing just now." ”

As if sensing that the atmosphere suddenly became a little solemn, Bena immediately spoke: "What is it that makes you both so nervous?" ”

Noodle handed the lantern to Barrett, who took advantage of his height to finally bring the pattern in the shadows to the fore. The two then looked at each other, and Barrett nodded and motioned for Noodles to explain.

The halfling who had been given the opportunity looked at Barrett with a little gratitude in his eyes. Even if you sign a cooperation agreement, if you want to have a place in the team, you must show your value. It's a pity that for noodles, the previous few times Xiàn said that it was a little reluctant.

If you can't show it anymore, even with the help of the anvil, I'm afraid you will still be marginalized in the team. Barrett's approach now is both a gesture of goodwill and a removal of possible hidden dangers in the ranks.

"This logo in front of me is the symbol of the Scarlet Hand, an underground organization that arose in the country of Norhan 5o years ago." Noodle pointed to the four-fingered palm print on the rib arch that seemed to be flowing with blood, "This organization, like most of its disgraceful kind, is mainly engaged in violent control of the trade and commercial operations of the middle and lower classes of the city. However, they are notoriously profit-oriented and lawless, so they are far more suppressed at the official level than other organizations. ”

"System Prompt: The player's quest "Cleaning the Sewers" is changed to obtain the mini-regional story mission: Underground Conspiracy. The difficulty of the task has been increased, and the task reward has accumulated ......"

As the system prompt sound suddenly reached everyone's ears, I saw the parrot clench grip the mace on his waist and reveal a gritted tooth look: "This kind of emblem appeared, which means that the previous disappearance of the girl is related to this organization called the Scarlet Hand." ”

On the contrary, the holy warrior Barrett, who should be regarded as the vanguard of justice by the world, has to be more reasonable: "I have heard of the words of the Scarlet Hand, and the reason why they are called this name is because there is a special school of warrior monks in the organization that has been passed down. And now this kind of environment is really a suitable place for that alien warrior monk to wield. ”

Smuggling, extortion, and even ticket kidnapping and assassination are all projects run by Scarlet Hands. It can be said that as long as they can make a profit, these guys don't mind selling their souls to the devil.

"Mario, you Paladin is playing a problem! It looks like you're going to have to do atonement missions more often in the future. Clearly hearing the hint of retreat in Mario's words, the parrot immediately spoke sarcastically. The second middle school boy has a lot of fun, and the second middle school girl is just a lot of trouble.

Mario was not annoyed by the girl's sarcasm like this: "The priest once said that as a holy warrior to solve problems, you need to pay attention to methods, and if you go straight to the end, the danger may be greater." ”

Although Mario didn't say it directly, the retreat in his words was already a good expression. Now that important information has been obtained, it may be more advantageous to quickly return to the surface to deliver the mission, and resolve the entire incident. However, although the system did not say this, the rewards that can be obtained by choosing this tricky method to complete the task will inevitably be discounted.

Seeing that the two in front of him seemed to have a bit of a-for-tat trend, Barrett, who was becoming more and more of a leader, made a final decision: "Let's go deeper and see if we can get more specific news!" Otherwise, just knowing that the Scarlet Hand is involved in it, I am afraid that it will not be of much use to the client! If the situation is not right, we will choose to retreat. ”

"Don't think about it, whether you go deeper or retreat. Let's all stay here! From the darkness in the distance came muffled words.

"Who?"

"Who's there?"

"Which guy is hiding his head and tail?"

Everyone's attention was immediately attracted by the sound of the words, but unfortunately the range of the lantern was very limited, and it was difficult to get a glimpse of each other's figures for a while.

"Now that we have the seal, don't you still remember who we are? No wonder you made such a big fuss before, it turned out that you were all people with not very bright brains. With this sound, the sound of dense footsteps was rapidly approaching.

Obviously, these guys hiding in the shadows want to kill Barrett and his party. That's right! In this game, it is also possible to kill the player. Especially when performing tasks, as long as the clues originally obtained after death or something, the aborigines will never be able to pay attention to it under the interference of the system.

"Smack! Syllable! Syllable! "As the danger came, the few torches that had been stored at the last moment were ignited with phosphorus powder. Several hard-armored players inserted torches into the card slots on their armor and immediately threw themselves into the fight.

As the distance closes, the enemy gradually appears in everyone's field of vision. Although everyone on the other side wore masks, some even hid themselves under cloaks. But Barrett can still roughly judge that the people he has to face are basically humans.

"Sandbags delivered to your door? I just wasn't in a good mood! Anvil unloaded the hammer from his back, licked his mouth, and looked at the fellows who flew close to him.

The taunt in the other party's words just now obviously irritated our dwarven warriors. The loud noise is probably caused by the rat riot in the past. And in the battle with the rats, the anvil that was pushed to the first place seemed to be a great shame.

The feathered arrows that were the first to cross Barrett's side led to a terrifying sky-piercing scream. A sharp arrow pierced the air and plunged directly into the torso of one of the attackers, followed by a torrent of blood pouring out - an arrow that knocked down the one who rushed at the front. It is not known if the enemy has been dealt with, but it is enough to inflict a lot of damage on the opponent.

This 100-step arrow through Yang was like a stroke of genius, which directly froze the opponent's offensive. The enemy probably did not expect that it would be his own side that would fall first.

"Beautiful!" The parrot waved the mace in his hand and gave his good sister a thumbs up. However, the few remaining ones who had seen Bena's shooting level before were slightly shocked at this time.

Bena pinched her cheeks, then licked her mouth, and the corners of her mouth turned up proudly: "What luck today!" ”

After saying this, the movement of her hand was a little faster. Shot his arrows into the crowd that had stopped. However, this time Bena was not so lucky, and now that the arrow was just an accident, the opponent's long-range counterattack also arrived - a large number of short swords and darts flew in front of her.

It seems that the Ambush Volkswagen did not have full-time archers. But even this unlucky Mario armor has several hidden weapons of the enemy, and of course he himself seems to be unaware.

The anvil that moved the counter-charge raised a large shield on his left arm, and at the moment of parrying the opponent's iron fist, he swiped his right hand - a dark shadow as ink struck the closest enemy to him with a little cold light, and knocked him out alive. The guy screamed, and ten percent of his life went to the fifth floor, and then fell into the central ditch with a thud.

Facing the guy who was wielding a two-headed axe, Barrett stepped back to the right as he approached contact. After all, the barbarian's charge after the rage is terrifying, and in the case that the other party has more follow-up increases, it is not a suitable choice to wipe its edge head-on.

Hold the back of the knife against the opponent's axe handle, and then hook and slash backhand - the blade slashes the neck of the scarlet Hand barbarian in front of him like a ghost, directly hitting the effect of a deadly attack. The guy didn't even have time to scream, and it turned into a column of blood like a fountain.

Unfortunately, before Barrett could catch his breath, the fellow who was a street boy took the opportunity to attack from the side and behind his back.
