Chapter 206 - Staff of Light

With the glow above the staff of light, the entire underground passage appeared a little brighter. Arrow judged the direction for a moment and said, "It looks like this passage was dug to the north." Uncle Holy Cake, can you explore further? ”

The Holy Breads answered, and began to take a step forward. Under his light, the mermaid song once again formed a battle lineup and began to explore little by little towards the front.

Thankfully, there are no forks in the road around this underground passage, so there is no need to worry about any special attack. But just after walking about ten meters, something caught Arrow's attention.

He walked to the edge of the wall, looked at the words that were crookedly carved into the dirt, and read softly—

"Leave, don't talk to me."

"Is she crazy, or am I already crazy?"

"He told me I would have a daughter."

"No, no, no, I can't, I can't."

"I can't hold on, I'm so hungry."

"Hungry, hungry, I'm so hungry."

This bizarre writing is carved all over the walls, and as you go deeper, the more text there becomes. Not only is there more, but the text is also starting to become more messy, and the format of the writing is also starting to become more ...... Wild. At the same time, as there are more and more words, it is no longer possible to see what is written in the back, it is completely like all kinds of meaningless words are entangled with each other, turning into meaningless pronunciation.

Hearing Arrow read the words on the wall as he walked, Saint Cake smiled slightly and said, "The longer I stay with the president, the more I feel that the president is really knowledgeable." I thought that the diary was a little guess or a linguist that you had consulted for a long time. I didn't expect you to have such a mastery of ancient languages. ”

Cream pouted and said happily, "Of course, we'll be very smart!" Uncle Holy Cake, don't you Bright Holy See even teach ancient languages? It seems that this high priest does not need to have a high level of language proficiency. ”

The Holy Breads were laughing, but Arrow couldn't laugh a little. For he was sure that the words reminded him of a common place—the mines of the Eternal Sleep Mountains.

And this resemblance doesn't mean much good.

But just as everyone walked out of the distance of about thirty meters, the words on the wall suddenly disappeared, as if they had written these crazy people after a certain point...... Or something suddenly comes to its senses and stops being crazy.

But, it was just when Arrow was surprised by the sudden disconnection of the text......

Ga - Gollum Rumbling ——!

With a terrible sound, a large pile of pitch-black liquid with a pungent spicy smell squirted violently from the darkness in the distance!

Brad reacted quickly and immediately raised his shield in front of everyone. A large amount of spicy and stinky black liquid was blocked on the front, but the amount was too large, and everyone's hair, clothes, and bodies were still stained with these little liquids after all.

At first, Arrow's mind immediately thought of the black liquid that the Voice Eater had spilled on the puppet leader, and the fear that had been suppressed before was now spreading again!

But before he could give the order to retreat, the stench sticking to his body stimulated his sense of smell, and for a while he only felt that his whole stomach was about to turn over, and a strong feeling of nausea came to his heart uncontrollably, and he vomited out.

"Gross-"

Not only Arrow, but also Cream in the back and Buffy on Blade's shoulder all looked uncomfortable, spitting out filth. Brad and Coco were wobbly and a little unsteady on their feet.

In the midst of this stinking smell that almost directly smoked people, the holy bread hurriedly recited the incantation, and raised the staff in his hand high—

"Purify!"

A glittering light expanded instantly, finally neutralizing the smell of rotten mud in the air that was impossible to breathe at all.

Arrow wiped his mouth and looked up to take in the situation. Then, he saw Uncle Sacred Cake on the side.

The cleric, with wide eyes, stood in place.

His gaze fell on his chest, and at this moment, a tentacle had pierced through his chest at some point.

"Ah......h

The High Priest opened his mouth, but could only make the last slight sound.

At this moment, everyone in the Mermaid Song saw the tentacles on his chest, and also saw the blood slowly oozing down the robe, and saw the lips of the Holy Cake tremble slightly, and their eyes showed a color of disbelief.

Immediately after, the tentacles that pierced his chest began to curl, curling the priest's body and beginning to pull towards the darkness in the distance......

"Uncle Sacred Cake ——!!!"

The first to react was Coco, who shouted loudly with a completely distorted face! With a wave of the steel staff in his hand, Xiao Bai and Xiao Hei immediately rushed forward at the fastest speed that Arrow had ever seen, and the next moment when the skeleton dog's teeth bit the tentacle fiercely, the rainbow sword in the hand of the undead soldier suddenly emitted a golden light, slashing towards the tentacle with a sword!

The tentacles were slammed off, and some viscous liquid squirted out of the untold whether it was blood or something. The body of the holy bread fell to the ground, and the undead soldiers on the side hurriedly stepped forward to support him.

The Staff of Light, still glowing.

And because it was jerked forward for some distance, the light emitted by this staff was just enough to completely reflect one thing.

It was a lump of meat.

Or rather, a huge mass of meat that completely blocked the entire underground passage!

But if you look closely, you can see that this mass of flesh has a lot of mouths, eyes, hands, and feet. All sorts of biological components from different races and ages were fused together on this twisted, slowly wriggling mass of deformed flesh.

When the lump found itself severed by one of its tentacles, one of its human-looking hands reached over the lump, and a small hole began to open up, and a mass in the shape of feces was squeezed out of the hole. His hand caught the lump of strips, pinched it slightly and kneaded it into a paste, and threw it again towards Xiaobai, who was holding the holy cake and walking back.

The undead soldier who was hit again by the black goo was instantly scattered, and the holy bread fell to the ground with it. One of the black goo flew through the crowd and hit Coco's mouth exactly as she was casting the spell behind, knocking her to the ground.

Finally, the people of Merfolk Song came to their senses, and Brad, who was at the front of the line, raised his shield and charged forward with a loud roar. Cream quickly pressed the Shadow Ring and ran forward invisibly. As if he had already guessed this, five tentacles ejected from the twisted flesh, two of which flew Cream and Brad with unmistakable accuracy, and the remaining three wrapped tightly around the Holy Cake again, dragging him further towards his body.

At the same time, a mouth the size of almost half an aisle opened over the mass of meat, as if intent on devouring the delicacy head-on.

"Uncle Holy Cake! Hold on! ”

With all the members repulsed, Arrow had no other choice. He rushed forward with an arrow, grabbed the hand of the holy bread, and shouted as he dragged it backwards—

"Uncle Holy Cake! You must be able to ...... You can definitely do it! Don't give up! Feed! Hurry up and cut off this damn tentacle! Someone's coming!! “

He screamed loudly, pulling desperately.

But the tentacle didn't feel any resistance at all, and it didn't even mean to block it, but just continued to drag the holy bread and send him towards his mouth.

Seeing that terrifying huge piece of flesh getting closer and closer, the panic that had been deliberately suppressed in Arrow's heart suddenly exploded at this moment!

He suddenly understood what he was afraid of, and what he was going through!

Ever since he was a child, he had never hated himself for being so powerless as he was now, and these thin arms didn't even have the power to slow down these tentacles a little.

Gradually, gradually, the mouth of the blood basin was already close at hand.

Arrow looked up, but what he saw was the uncle's extremely pale face......

At that moment, tears rolled out of Arrow's eyes.

"Go ......"

With a gentle word, the priest raised his hand and shoved the still shining staff of light into Arrow's arms.

"Quick...... Walk ......"

And then ...... Sorry ......"

Then, as if he had the last bit of strength, he gently pushed Arrow outward.

Holding the Staff of Light, Arrow sat to the ground with a thud, barely able to contain the tears that were rolling down his face. But at the last moment, he saw the pastor's lonely and regretful smile......

"Uncle Holy Bread, ——!"

Coco, who spit out the sludge in her mouth, screamed and ran up crying. The tears on her face seemed to be overflowing.

The little girl kept waving her staff and screaming, allowing her undead soldiers and skeleton dogs to pounce on her. That's not all, she plans to rush forward herself. But just as she was about to cross over to Arrow's side, Arrow put his arm around her waist, turned around, raised the staff of light in his hand, which was still emitting the last bit of light, and shouted-

"Withdraw ——!"

Brad, Parfay, and Cream were shocked when they heard the order, but they immediately understood that this was the best thing to do right now. After Coco broke free of Arrow, Brad stepped forward and picked up the little girl, who was already crying and almost fainting, and the people of Merfolk Song quickly ran towards the only entrance.
