Chapter 56: A First Glimpse of the Abyss
"Boom. Boom. Boom. ”
It's getting closer, just behind the corner. The dust is constantly shaking off, and the creatures on the other side are about to break through the ground.
Looking through the opening in the wall, the creature on the other side of the wall appears to have a very different physical appearance from that of a snow mouse. This guy seemed to be waist-tall, with spider-like limbs on all fours, a long body divided into segments like a lobster's belly, covered in a chitin exoskeleton, and a pair of hardened appendages on the tail. The wall was constantly pounding with a pair of huge viscers, and it was only a matter of time before it broke. It's okay, so I don't have to take the initiative to smash the walls of other people's houses. [[[CP|W:600|H:600|A:C|U:http://file2.biquge.info/chapters/20145/19/3134319635361093935492500764573.jpg
I have information about this creature in my brain. Charus, a creature that lives beneath the surface of Skyrim, is a dangerous predator with a strength disproportionate to his appearance, as well as the ability to spray venom from a distance. Alchemists often add extracts from Charus eggs to poisons when concocting poisons, which have the effect of weakening the resistance of the target toxin.
If it weren't for the accidental discovery of some alchemists tinkering with all kinds of novel gameplay, Charus would not have appeared in the eyes of humans at all. But now that it's here today, it's necessary for me to help the Lighthouse get rid of it—this creature is far more harmful than snow rats.
Before Charus could emerge from the other side of the wall, I stabbed the witch through the gap and shattered its head. Next, I knocked down all the loose bricks on the walls and hunched over the five-meter-thick rock layer to a wide natural underground passage. Follow this path to Charus's lair.
Charus's ability to spray venom remotely caused me a lot of trouble. Thankfully, there are enough places in the winding underground passages to get the camera stuck, and Charus's IQ isn't enough to teach them to use their strengths to hold on - only because they've bumped into a target who is better at hand-to-hand combat, of course.
Clearing out a few Charus along the way, my position is getting deeper and deeper. There will be piles of Charus eggs on the ground, but they will all burn to ashes under my flame breath. The further you go in, the size of the passage grows, and the number of charus gradually increases. But I kept going, and at the moment I'm still at a level where I can easily handle it...... Well?
I had a premonition of the magical energy that was building up in front of me, and a bolt of lightning struck me with lightning speed, and I was already hiding behind the corner.
A bolt of lightning ...... Is there a human being ahead? As far as I know, there are some non-sapient beings in this world who can also use magic, such as the Frost Spirit. However, they use more lethal elements such as ice and fire. Lightning spells are much less lethal, but they can disrupt the mana cycle in the enemy's body, significantly reducing the enemy's cast frequency and cap, and will only appear in a battle between two mages.
"Anyone?"
I tried to shout, and at the same time increased the mana load on my eyes, allowing myself to detect life forms farther away.
See! A strange humanoid creature with a hunched back and pointed ears. The other party didn't answer me, just moved cautiously in my direction. In addition, the other party's vigilance is very heavy, and the lightning energy gathered in his hand is still maintained, and it seems that he will not give up if he does not fire at me.
Well, let's practice magic on you. Taking advantage of the time for the other party to sneak over, I used my magic to draw a dispel rune on the ground around the corner, then retreated to the next corner and waited.
Dispel, as the name suggests, removes the magic effects from the target, and can also be used on demons from the Annihilation Realm, as they must use magic to allow their bodies from the Annihilation Realm to break through the rules of the Holy Spirit and remain on the Nene plane. As for whether the dispel can be successful or not, it only depends on whether the opponent can take effective precautions, and the opponent can cast a soy sauce spell in time to cause the effect of Li Daitao's stiffness, or use another dispel to destroy my dispel rune.
But to my surprise, the other party stepped on it like this. The lightning brewing in his hand lost control under the guidance of the dispersal rune, canceled itself out, and dispersed like a splash.
"Who are you? How could you be in ......"
Seeing that the enemy had been attacked, I picked up the witch and rushed out of the corner and questioned him, but I was startled by the specific face of the enemy. Skinny, pale and withered, with a curious countenance, and a rudimentary armor made of Charus's shell. The most unappetizing thing was that the monster's upper and lower eyelids actually grew together, leaving two scars on the eye sockets.
I aimed the witch at the monster in front of me. If it dares to do anything out of the ordinary, I will nip the danger in the bud at once.
"Do you understand me? How did you end up in such a place? ”
It seems that I don't understand. A frightened expression appeared on its face, and it howled in panic and fled into the depths of the cavern. There must have been quite a few of its kind in the depths of the cave, and the sharp cracking sound came out one after another.
It is necessary to go inside, and it is not reassuring to me not to understand the situation here. Blue light flashed, and a large chunk of dirt broke off the wall, condensing into a human shape under the effect of the Transformation Spell. I manipulated the golem to walk in front of me and let it take the first wave of attacks in my place. Lightning magic has appeared, not to mention that the enemy is in the dark and I am in the light, who knows what will happen in front of the road.
Occasionally, some arrows will be fired at the golem, and as long as it does not hit the running path of the mana, it is difficult to cause substantial damage to the golem. Sensing that the intruders were still approaching, the monsters dropped their bows and arrows and fled to the rear. Although my body was still recuperating, I decided to move on because I could feel that their panic was not fake.
……
I was stunned by the scene in front of me. A dozen or so monsters gathered at the end of the road and shivered, and behind them was an unfathomable crater that led vertically into the ground. My presence made them even more agitated, and several monsters jumped in fright. Every time I took a step forward, the monster in front of me jumped down. Eventually, when I lifted the witch to the mouth of the cliff, all the monsters jumped into this bottomless abyss.
How could the witch in his hand have such a powerful effect? These monsters have nothing to do with the elves except their pointed ears, what is it that scares them? I lay on the edge of the cliff and looked down, endlessly, in darkness; I manipulated the golem to jump, but until the golem lost contact with me, no information came back about the fall.
Below, there should be an unknown world, and these monsters must have climbed up from below. Since they can crawl out the first time, they will crawl out a second time. I couldn't have jumped in to find out, but at least I had to inform the Hubbards that they couldn't live here anymore.
--------------------------------------------------------
The basement of his house is actually connected to an unknown world, and anyone will be worried, not to mention that there are many daunting insects lying along the way. Standing on the edge of a cliff, feeling the wind blowing from the abyss, Hubbard rejected my suggestion.
"Are you going to stay here? I've cleaned up underneath, but I'm not sure when these monsters will crawl out again. ”
"Having lived at sea for more than a decade, we are well aware of the importance of this lighthouse. If no one takes care of the lighthouse, many ships will be in danger. And," Hubbard smiled helplessly, "we have found such a peaceful and peaceful place to spend our old age facing the sea, and where else can we go without it?" ”
"And what about your children?"
"Haven't they always hated the dullness of this place? It just so happens that I have no reason to keep them on a leash. ”
"They're still young."
"At fourteen, it's time for them to go out on their adventures, and I was even younger than them when I became a sailor."
I tried to convince them, but Hubbard had made up his mind that there seemed to be nothing to get the couple out of the beacon that gave them a deep sense of belonging.
"It's fine. You can send your child to Xueman, and I can help arrange it over there. ”
"What path are you going to take for them?"
Although Hubbard is determined to let his children go out of the way, Hubbard is still very concerned about the future of his children.
Since Hubbard wanted his children to have a good time, he couldn't arrange too easy for Manny and Sudy. In addition, I can't let them into the Brothers-in-Arms, and the warrior profession is too dangerous. After thinking about it, I finally found a suitable place to go.
"I know a big businessman in Xueman."
"Merchant......" Hubbard's eyes lit up after hearing my reply, "Very well, I used to be a maritime merchant. Although this may not be their true destiny in the future, at least I can rest assured that I am walking on this path. ”
……
"I'm going to give them both the growth they deserve."
The Hubbards will remain here, and soon their children will travel with the Morning Star City caravanserais, and the tunnels under the lighthouse will be dealt with by the local lords—no matter how lame the magical advisors there may be, at least they will be able to block the passage between the abyss and the lighthouse by causing it to collapse.
Bidding farewell to the Hubbards, I embarked on the last part of the journey to the tombs of Isgramer.
