Chapter 206: The Team Member Goes Missing

readx;? Everyone in the delegation also knew that the historian Freeman was the one who could really influence the decision of the head of the delegation, so everyone was silent and did not speak. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

"Now that we've come here, I'll regret it for the rest of my life if I don't go down and see it, and I haven't seen the altar in that mural yet. ”

This time, without waiting for Freeman to speak, AndrΓ© was the first to answer, and no one knew what his intentions were.

"Judging from the current situation, although this monument has been abandoned for a long time, it is inextricably linked with the Holy See, and if there is really an altar of the gods as expected, then it should be not far below, we might as well go and open our eyes, maybe there are bigger secrets hidden below, and we will have more gains. ”

The historian Freeman's speech is equivalent to making a final conclusion on this matter, and from his words, everyone can also hear that the previous discoveries made him not enjoy archaeology at all, and if he did not see the real altar, it is estimated that he would never back down.

"Okay! Let's take a rest, eat, and regain our strength before we go down. ”

Four or five hours have passed since entering the underground, and it is estimated that it is already dark outside, and everyone has been feeling a little tired and hungry until now, so they just take this opportunity to rest.

In the hall is a tall door opposite the direction of the come, outside this door is a staircase leading to the bottom, someone has found this passage during the search just now, according to the description of the previous mural, the bottom should be where the altar is located.

"El, you don't really have food in your bag, do you?"

Alan sat on the ground leaning against the pillar, took out the kettle and took a sip, and was about to hand it to Elvis, only to see that the latter was taking out three pieces of dried meat from his large backpack, and couldn't help but ask.

"Do you really want to know?"

Elvis tossed a piece of dried meat to Alan.

"Of course. ”

"Then you pass the ear over. ”

Alan leaned over to him, and Elvis whispered a few words into his ear.

"What are you two big men muttering about secretly?"

Kelly asked, noticing the strange behavior of the two men.

"Nothing. ”

Elvis retracted his head and handed another piece of dried meat to Kelly, all the catering on Felicia's side was handled by Andre, and he didn't have to worry about it.

"It's really embarrassing for the old man, who thinks about everything so thoughtfully. ”

Alan shook his head and said with a smile.

"That's nature, don't forget that we are all the stars of tomorrow in his eyes!"

Elvis took a bite of the dried meat and said unashamedly.

Taking advantage of the time when everyone was eating and resting, the head of Huo Yining first arranged for two guards to search down the passage, and reported the situation as soon as they found it, but the two people went to no news as soon as they went, and waited for nearly two hours, many people had eaten, and they had already leaned against the wall or simply lay on the ground and fell asleep, and the two people still did not come back, and there was no abnormal movement below.

The head of the regiment, Huo Yining, woke up all the people who were asleep, and then told everyone about the situation, and everyone looked at each other with a strange feeling, the strength of the two guards who just went down were all intermediate swordsmen, and even if they encountered an accident, they would not even be able to make a sound.

"Maybe they're just lost?"

Historian Freeman looked at everyone's somewhat uneasy eyes, and not only said with relief.

"Do you want to send two more people down to have a look?"

Andrei suggested.

"If something really happens to the two people before, it won't help to send two more people, let's go down together, there is a lot of strength, even if there is danger, we can deal with it. ”

After all, Captain Huo Yining had been in the palace guard for many years, and he was not comparable to Andrei, a young man who had not yet graduated from the academy, in terms of thoughtfulness and on-the-spot response, so he made arrangements almost immediately. The whereabouts of the two subordinates are unknown, in fact, he is the most anxious at this time.

Everyone packed up the searched artifacts, found a room and put them in it, and then, under the arrangement of Commander Hoinin, they formed a battle alert formation and slowly moved down the steps of the exit, trying not to make any sound.

In the entire formation, Captain Hoynin and another intermediate swordsman were the leader, several archers were on the side, Andrei and other eight cadets of the Knight Academy were mixed in the guards, and the magician and historian Freeman were in the middle, fortunately, the width of the steps was enough to ensure the parallel of many people, otherwise this formation could not be implemented at all.

Alan tried to compare the arrangement of Captain Hoynin and Captain Havech at the beginning, and the two were basically the same, both were in the middle, the swordsman was in the perimeter, and the person with the strongest combat power was placed in the arrow position, supplemented by shieldmen on both sides.

But the difference between the two is that the number of people in this operation is larger, so the requirements for the formation are higher, and everyone in the formation must strictly follow the requirements of the captain, which has been clearly stated before departure, and everything is subject to the command when encountering danger.

At that time, the mercenary team dealing with the wind wolf pack had higher requirements for personal quality and proficiency in cooperation with each other, and required everyone to be flexible and adaptable, so the formation requirements were not strict, and because the number was small and there were no substitutes, the requirements for personal responsibilities were very clear.

Perhaps this is the difference between a regular army and a mercenary, Alan thought about the formation as he followed the team down the steps step by step.

As the depth of the stairs dropped, Alan felt that the temperature was obviously rising, just now in the hall was actually much warmer than outside, but at this time, the temperature rose further, and Alan felt that a layer of fine sweat had appeared on his back.

When I walked to the end of the steps, there was a sudden sound of turbulent water outside, it seems that the map on the mural is really drawn according to the actual terrain, and the underground dark river is indeed the direction leading to the altar, but such a high drop is not shown on the mural, plus a distance of several hundred steps, if you really choose this waterway before, I am afraid that even if you are a high-level swordsman, it will be more than auspicious to enter, let alone others. So at this time, everyone sighed a little at how wise it was to choose Allen's suggestion.

Walking forward along the road again, there was gradually more light in the dark cave where I couldn't see my fingers, this light was dark red, very faint, even the scene dozens of steps away had become hazy and indistinguishable.

"There should be lava ahead, probably not far from the altar. ”

Based on the increase in temperature and subtle changes in light, historian Freeman quickly deduced the reason.

Everyone remembered the scene in the mural, and indeed remembered that the altar was surrounded by fiery lava, and it seemed that it was really not far from the altar. However, due to the disappearance of the team members, everyone had a mysterious feeling about the altar not far away. ps: I recommend another new book "The Real Kepler 452b" by the fourth child, oriental fantasy, please support us, I believe the new book will bring surprises to everyone!
