A few low dog barks informed Yu Siqi and the others in advance what kind of species they were coming, which can be regarded as a disguised proof of Father An's last line.
For safety reasons, Gong Chen once again opened the bow in his hand and mounted a suitable arrow.
As the sound of hurried footsteps approached, two swift black shadows scurried up from the bottom of the stairs. Due to the speed of the other party, Yu Siqi's eyes could not successfully capture the figure and image of the other party.
The arrow feathers that broke through the air grazed past Yu Siqi's side, bringing up two wonderful arcs, followed by the 'poof' sound of the two black shadows hitting the arrows one after another.
The two black shadows that were shot by the arrows first whimpered, and then their speed increased a lot.
"Fearless struggle!" Gong Chen's fingers flexibly carried out the action of opening the bow and arrows and volleying, and after several successive movements, although the sound of his breathing began to become extremely obvious, it also caused a huge blow to the two creatures that could be 'dogs'.
Finally, when there were only nine steps left from them. The two black shadows that had been shot into hedgehogs finally did not continue to take upward steps, but directly twitched on the spot a few times, and then stopped moving.
Thanks to their fact that they no longer move, Yu Siqi was able to see them for what they really were, but he soon realized that these guys could not be called 'dogs' in the strict sense of the word. Although the appearance is more or less the body of a very traditional earth dog, whether it is the fading hair or the limbs that are bent to the point of deformation, it shows that they have undergone some kind of terrible mutation.
Not to mention that under their gaze, the abdomen of the 'dog' corpse filled with arrows continued to rise and fall, as if something was about to burst out.
"Something seems to be coming out, Father... Hurry up and figure it out, I can't find that lighter of mine. Gong Chen said eagerly.
"I don't need you to remind me what to do and what not to do. The Decree - Flame! ”
It was not uncommon for Father An to tap his fingers and use the 'incantations' that he was extremely good at, so after seeing his own fingertips burst out with flames that were enough to burn those two corpses, Gong Chen breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's okay, I really don't dare to think about what is in that dog's belly. ”
"It's mostly tentacles and suckers, just like the sharks that we've dismantled before."
Yu Siqi said disapprovingly, he was more concerned about what was under the stairs than what was in the stomach of the 'dog'. No doubt Father Ann also wanted to go with him.
Therefore, he took the initiative to go down the stairs and said, "Gong Chen, put the bow on the arrow." Less than, ready with lights and illumination. We'll have to go down and see. ”
"Do you really want to go down, priest?"
Gong Chen didn't mean that he wanted to escape, what he meant was actually Yu Siqi understood, and he wanted to make more preparations before making the next move. Unfortunately, Father Ann did not intend to give him too much time, which was a little surprising. Because according to Yu Siqi's personal understanding, the priest is not like the kind of person who likes to take the initiative, unless...
"I know your concerns, and I understand your feelings."
As he continued to descend the stairs, Father Ann beckoned them to follow, saying, "But have you ever wondered what would happen if we left this place alone? What if there were more mutant dogs out there? Maybe it's a good idea to split people out to guard the exit, but look at the number of people we have now, do you think we can still divide the one who will come out? ”
"Maybe the door should be re-sealed, as it was before." Yu Siqi proposed.
"Of course, this is undoubtedly the most correct thing to do." Father An glanced at Yu Siqi with an approving gaze, then turned around and continued walking.
"Let's not mention if we can find enough materials to close this gap, but now that there is a staircase that clearly leads to the unknown area, is any of you here willing to give up this opportunity to explore?"
"That's right, but that's not your style, Father!"
Gong Chen jumped in front of Father An in three steps and two steps, and Yu Siqi also came to their side after regaining the lighting equipment. At this time, William in his pocket seemed to have woken up from his sleep. After poking his probe and looking around, he made a 'discordant speech': "Go back, this is the entrance to hell, don't go inside!" ”
"It seems that we have completely ignored a certain 'big man'." Father Ann paused, looked down at William, and said, "Well, Professor William, it's time to talk to us." Why are you so 'impatient' to stop us from going deeper? ”
William, who was staring at him by Father Ann, seemed to be a little unable to eat, quickly retracted into his pocket, and clutched his head with his wings. But even so, the sight that could see through everything was still reflected in his mind. So, he got out of his pocket again, and after tending his messy wings with his beak, he said, "I can tell you the story of this place, but you must promise me that you will leave, and seal this place completely." ”
"You still want to put forward conditions?" Gong Chen leaned over and pretended to be fierce and bluffed: "Believe it or not, I will take you to the sky with an arrow." ”
"Don't scare him, people are in demand."
Yu Siqi doesn't mind others putting forward conditions, let alone this kind of 'additional conditions' that are basically similar to their original plan. Unfortunately, he felt that it was a little too unrealistic to convince Father Ann to turn back. As a result, Father Ann said directly: "Okay, I promise you that it is." ”
Probably because Father Ann answered so bluntly and directly that everyone else showed incredulous expressions, including William. However, since Father Ann has made a promise, he has also directly told the past here.
It turns out that the reason why this place is called the entrance to hell is because at the bottom of it, there is an altar that the Dusk Cult used to hold the summoning ceremony. And in his known memories, he clearly realized that he had been here before, and he had seen many scenes that could make his three views collapse. In order to protect his brain and cognition, he chose to close himself. That's why he couldn't tell anyone else more details. At the same time, it was also the reason why he tried so hard to avoid it, because if the scene reappeared in his eyes, he feared that his spirit might be re-traumatized.
"As a bird, your mind is more delicate than your kind." Father Ann turned and walked up, "Since we have promised William that I will not go down, then our expedition can be regarded as 'stop here'." After all, you can't drive talking 'birds' crazy. ”
