Chapter 271 The Old Man and the Waterfall
After taking a breath, he cautiously walked over to a prison cell and reached out and gently pushed it against the hidden door.
The chest of the ghouls inside is completely slit, fully demonstrating the power of one or some kind of monster that kills these ghouls.
After inspecting a few cells slightly, Arrow looked back at the people behind him, holding back the uneasiness in his heart, and finally showed a somewhat reluctant smile: "Don't worry, it seems that at present...... Not a big problem. The one who killed the corpse should have been the other members of the underground system who came to save people, right? ”
Brad didn't quite understand, he glanced at the corpse eater in the cage next to him, and said, "But-"
But he had just said a word, but the cream on the side immediately reached out and covered the big man's mouth and told him not to speak.
"That's it! We've found the way to the exit, so go there now! Be careful, try not to get separated, and it will be very troublesome to get you back if you get separated. ”
With Arrow's comfort and encouragement, everyone took another step.
Following the map, the group quickly exited the prison through a small passageway, leaving behind the bloody scene behind them.
Along the way, everyone's footsteps began to gradually extend upward.
In the middle of the action, Cream leaned over and whispered, "President, look at those corpse eaters...... Who did it? ”
Arrow knew what the assassin was trying to say, and after a moment's thought, he said, "Just in case, you go and talk to the whiskey and polyester in the back, and let them pay more attention to whether there is anything following us." Ever since I took this commission, I have felt that there are many discords in various places, and we have to be careful in many places. ”
Cream nodded, and immediately walked towards the back of the group, talking to the two retired soldiers. Whiskey and Polyester were also confused now, but since this was Arrow's instructions, the two nodded in agreement and began to pay attention to the movement behind them.
After about half an hour of walking along this upward spiral road, a light appeared in front of me! If you look closely, it is an open door, and the afterglow of the setting sun comes in from outside. And from outside the door, there was also the sound of the rumbling waterfall exploding.
Seeing the sunshine, the civilians behind seemed to be a lot more relieved and excited. But Arrow's Mermaid Song still moved forward with a cautious attitude. After looking out at the door for a moment, he walked out.
As soon as you walk out of the door, you can feel a strong wave of water vapor rushing towards you.
Because the exit of this door is facing the huge waterfall that fell from the sky! Standing on a large platform made of rocks, everyone watched as the huge heavenly river fell from the top of their heads, and then fell into the deep darkness below, making a loud bang! Such a shrill sound almost instantly squeezed the slightest fear in the darkness without a trace, and people were left with infinite awe of the miraculous work of nature in front of them.
Arrow reached out and grabbed the handrail formed by the stone pillar, looking up at the top of his head.
Now the position of the people is about two or three hundred meters away from the exit, and if you really want to leave, I am afraid you will need to continue walking along these stone stairs to the top of the place.
Thinking of this, Arrow turned his head and glanced at the spirits of those behind him. Seeing that these civilians were all shocked by this spectacular scene now, and there was no fatigue on their faces, they nodded and said, "It's almost dark now, let's hurry up." ”
But after speaking, Arrow realized that his voice had no meaning in the loud sound of the waterfall. He frowned, and could only reach out and pull Brad, the tallest and strongest, and make a gesture to follow me.
Brad nodded, withdrew his gaze and began to follow Arrow. The other Mermaid Song members are also following suit. With the Merfolk Song taking the lead, the civilians had finally taken a step forward, walking up the stone staircase.
However, he didn't take a few steps, and a person sitting on a small platform not far away caught Arrow's attention.
It was an old man of about sixty or seventy years old, with a long beard, and his complexion looked quite ruddy, showing a very stable appearance.
The old man was wearing leather boots and leather armor that the nobles usually wore when they went out on safaris, and he didn't look dirty or injured from top to bottom. Now, he just sat there silently against the guardrail, looking like he was closing his eyes.
Cream stretched out her hand to stop everyone's footsteps, stepped forward cautiously, and after lightly touching the old man's skin with her hand, she quickly retracted and jumped far away to prevent him from suddenly turning into a zombie bite.
The old man, whose face had been touched, slowly opened his eyes, and he was also a little surprised by the assassin in front of him, who was holding two short swords in his hands and looked very defensive. But then, when he saw the members of the Mermaid Song Guild and those civilians standing on the side, the look of vigilance on his face eased slightly.
“…………”
The old man opened his mouth and said something. But unsurprisingly, the sounds were swallowed up by the waterfall.
In desperation, Arrow could only point to a gate in front of him to re-enter the interior of the cliff, and motioned for everyone to go inside. The old man thought for a moment and nodded, and after letting Arrow and the others go forward first, the old man stood with the civilians behind him, and followed closely step by step.
Entering the cave, it seems to be a resting place for some of the staff members in the area. Along the way, there are a few living quarters that don't seem to be dangerous, except for the occasional encounter with two zombies and a baby ghoul.
After walking some distance towards the interior of the cavern and making sure that the sound of the waterfall outside was no longer so harsh, Arrow found a room that looked like a staff break room, allowing everyone to enter it for a while.
It was also at this time that he was able to come to the old man, and said with a smile on his face: "May I ask this old man, judging from the clothes on your body, you should not be an employee or a homeless man in this underground passage, right?" Why are you in that place? ”
Facing Arrow, the old man looked him up and down, and then his eyes fell on Brad, Cream and Coco on the side, and finally looked at the whiskey and polyester over there, and said slowly: "Are you the leader of this team?" ”
Arrow nodded and said with a smile, "The leader of the Mermaid Song Guild, Arrow Garcia, is willing to serve you. ”
Now that Arrow had already reported his name, the old man also exhaled and said, "Eagle Histan." I really didn't expect that the first to come to my rescue would be a small guild. ”
After hearing the old man's name, a slight look of surprise flashed across Arrow's face, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Mr. Eijster, Histen...... Is it? Excuse me, your Hisstein...... Is that Hisstein? ”
The old man smiled and nodded slightly: "I'm afraid, it's the Histan you think it is." ”
Coco on the side was full of question marks: "Brother President, what Heathstan?" How many more Hisstein? ”
It's a pity that Arrow didn't respond to the child, but directly stretched out his hand to let the little girl go behind, and said with a smile again: "Mr. Heather, it's really enough for you to stay next to the waterfall all the time, right?" It's a good idea, though. ”
Rui Ying nodded, reached out to cover his ears and rubbed them slightly, and said: "Yes, yes, those necromantic corpses, and man-eating monsters seem to have a keen sense of hearing, I stay next to the waterfall, and the loud noise will naturally disturb their hearing, so they will involuntarily stay away from the waterfall." I can't help it, I don't have the ability to fight monsters, so I can only rely on this method to support until help arrives. ”
By this time, the civilians had begun to rummage around the break room, finding some food that the staff had not had time to take with them when they had evacuated, and dividing them among themselves. Cream also brought some food and placed it in front of Airo and Eagle. Arrow smiled and pushed the food towards Ruiying's side, and said with a smile: "Please use it, in this case, please take care of it first." ”
The old man was not polite, and directly picked up a box of biscuits and ate them. It looks like he hasn't eaten in a while, and he's eating a little fast. But even so, he still maintained a more elegant posture, which was completely different from the civilians behind him who grabbed and gulped the food when they saw it.
After eating two biscuits, Rui Ying gently stroked his beard with a little cookie crumbs and said, "Well, you just said...... You're the man of Merfolk Song, and you're the president of this guild, Airo Garcia? Right? ”
Arrow nodded and smiled, "Yes." ”
Rui Ying exhaled and said with a smile, "President Arrow's expression is very sincere, huh?" Looks like you're planning to make a lot of money on my side, right? ”
Now that the old man had made it clear, Arrow felt that he didn't have to hide it anymore: "I like Mr. Hisstein's frankness. So you see...... How about a hundred gold coins? For your status, this shouldn't be a lot of money, right? ”
Hearing this offer, Rui Ying couldn't help but laugh hahaha. He shook his head lightly and said, "Young man, you really take advantage of the fire to rob." You are an adventurer's guild, and since you are an adventurer's guild, you obviously came here to save people because you received a payment in advance or signed a commission contract, right? I don't believe that a guild of adventurers like you would venture into such a place just out of the heart of justice. ”
