The light on the "Immortal Flame" torch flickered, and the light emitted became dimmer and dimmer, and the energy inside the item seemed to be being sucked away by the surrounding walls. Depending on the situation, a constant torch that could have been used continuously for half a month may not even be able to support it for a day.

"Don't worry, I've made a lot of torches." Shen Yan patted Catherine comfortingly, he took out a new torch from his backpack and shook it, a new light cluster appeared, and the entire aisle brightened.

The dim lighting does feel more stressful, especially when the light is a little weaker, and the light from the torches that dominate the lighting is replaced by an eerie red glow from the walls...... If only it were like that. But the occasional "gurgling" sound of water coming from inside the wall, and the regular red light of the wall breathing, will make sensitive people go crazy!

Fortunately, what Shen Yan said was not a lie, he did make a lot of "unquenchable flame" torches when he was idle, enough for them to use here for the New Year. In addition, there are shelf-stable food, temporary subspace backpacks, and more. Anyway, the money in this world can't be taken away, so it's better to turn it into full preparation for the expedition.

When he turned the corner, the demon slaying blade in Shen Yan's hand suddenly stretched forward!

Then I heard a "poof" - the cult priest in blood-colored robes was pierced in the mouth with the blade of a spear, and was picked at the tip of the spear like a fish on a wicker. Half of the cult priest's body had been transformed into tentacles and sacs, and he hid in the corner with his hands still held high, as if he wanted to jump out with an "ah" to scare them...... Then it hung on Shen Yan's gun. Looking at Shen Yan's innocent expression, people who don't know may think that the cult priest bumped into it himself.

But Herbert, the heir who walked last in the team, saw it clearly. Not only that, but he also noticed the clear light that glowed when the blade of the spear stabbed the cult priest......

If the cult priests were really so easy to deal with, then the church would have bulldozed the underground world long ago! In fact, the half-tentacled demons can survive even if they chop half of their bodies into pieces, their attacks have a blasphemous effect, and they are very fond of turning themselves into bombs. Anyway, they turn around and come back to life in the flesh...... After such a long time, the creatures in this underground world have long since merged.

It can be said that the Church suffered enough from these cultists and priests before they developed a complex set of tactics. However, every time Shen Yan was a simple stab, he could kill the cult members he encountered...... It's easier than slaughtering goblins.

Shen Yan shook the blade of the gun, and the cult priest turned into a pinch of dust, and the essence was transformed into a new sub-divine power that flowed back to his body along the barrel of the gun. Let you go back to the resurrection? Are you kidding, you don't need money to consume sub-divine power?

*****

The three-person team marched all the way to clear up, and the road ahead gradually became difficult. The frequency of monster attacks increased greatly, and Catherine seemed a little distracted, and sometimes Shen Yan couldn't completely protect the two of them.

Shen Yan knew that Catherine might have guessed something, and her eyes were frequently looking at Herbert...... Only Herbert felt inexplicable. Well, even if you're interesting to me, can you be so obvious? I'm afraid I won't be able to make it out of here alive......

When they arrived at the outpost set up by the Church, it was empty, as they had guessed. Herbert looked a little surprised, "Has the outpost retreated here?" The last time I came in, the outpost was located further in front of the library......"

"I probably know why," Shen Yan, who was walking at the front, pointed to the outside of the outpost, "You can see it when you look at it." ”

Herbert walked out of the outpost with Catherine, and when they returned, all pale...... Because the tunnel in front of it could no longer be called a road, the red walls squirmed like a stomach, and they were covered with long tentacles. The long ones are more than ten meters, the short ones are two or three meters, and the width of the passage is less than two meters. And even if no one walked by, those tentacles waved aimlessly, like a group of dancing pythons......

This means that if the tentacles have attack power, then you don't want to pass through them unless you go all the way. And their kind, those cult members, are free to pass. Those tentacles are covered with barbs, and some have sharp teeth, which don't look like harmless breeds. What's more, even if a snake is chopped off, it can still move for a long time, and even attack...... It may not be safe to chop it off.

This is a bit of a puzzle!

Even if you can really chop and push all the way over, if you don't have any place to rest on the way and directly encounter the boss at the bottom of the level, how much physical strength will the three people have left?

"It wasn't like that here in the past!" Herbert lowered his head and said with some despair.

Seeing this scene, the little hope he had just floated to live was in danger of being strangled to death. For a long time, there was a question that he and Shen Yan had avoided mentioning - that is, even if the previous ones succeeded in diverting the tiger from the mountain and attacking the east and west, they also successfully entered the underground of the castle - but with the three of them, can they defeat the big that merges with the evil god?

This is actually a very serious problem. But now they may not even be able to see the big and be persuaded to quit, and Herbert can't accept it emotionally. "Maybe we can use fire, I have a recipe for fiery glue!"

"Shen Yan, is there a way for your magic to ......" Catherine set her hopeful gaze on the omnipotent Shen Yan.

"I have at least three ways to cross this passage," Shen Yan really lived up to expectations, and as soon as he opened his mouth, the two of them were refreshed. "But that's not the top priority right now. Catherine, Herbert, since the church has placed the outpost here, it means that this may be the last safe place in the passage, and we will probably never find a place to sleep in peace. So we'd better rest here for the night and recharge.

But you can't stop preparing, Herbert, this should be not far from the library, right? Waiting until Herb nodded, Shen Yan continued, "Remember when I said I like history? That's true. Because the evil god cannot appear out of thin air, it must leave traces in history! Has it ever done evil? Who defeated it and by whom did it seal it? We can only find a way to deal with it if we first determine the origin of that evil god and find out if there are any weaknesses in it that are recorded in the book! ”

What Shen Yan really meant, since he knew that this was still the swan world, why didn't he first confirm if the "evil god" was one of his old friends? If it's really an old friend, then you don't have to fight, just talk about it.

"That's right! You're so right! How I didn't expect that! Since my father found records about evil gods in the family library, those records must still be there! And there's definitely something else! When Herbert heard Shen Yan say this, he nodded excitedly.

Not only was he not disappointed, but he felt very down-to-earth, because this was a very pragmatic attitude - if Shen Yan patted his chest now and said that the evil god was fine! Leave it to him...... Then Herbert should be afraid.

"Well, since you agree with me, how about the two of us go to the library to look for materials in a while, and then come back here to study what you think? After all, it's your family's library, and only you're most familiar with it. ”

Herb nodded in agreement, but Catherine objected. "I want to go with you."

"No, will you stay in the guard camp? I need you to help me keep an eye on the back road. Shen Yan went over and hugged Catherine and said two fair and honest reasons, and then whispered in Catherine's ear, "Don't go, my woman is more reassuring to stay away from the tentacles...... Prepare dinner and wait for me to come back, okay? ”

"Okay." That can stand this greasy energy, Catherine was immediately convinced!

"You can leave any extra luggage here first, and we'll travel light."

*****

The first of Shen Yan's three methods is very simple, of course, the caster must use magic to solve the problem - the magic "Ice Storm" of the Four Rings.

"Ice Storm" is a 40-foot-diameter column that creates blocks of ice falling from the sky for one minute, crushing and freezing the surrounding environment, just right for bare flesh tentacles.

Moreover, Shen Yan's "Spell Analysis Equation" feature can stretch the area where the ice falls from a circle to a long bar, and can clear a passage of more than 200 feet at a time. Sure enough, when the magic is released, it first causes a strong cooling effect. There is no heat dissipation in the passage, and the tentacles are unexpectedly frozen in a large area, and then smashed by the ice blocks that fall later!

And Shen Yan and Herbert carried a table leg and smashed the tentacles that had slipped through the net one by one, so as not to return to the city and clean it up again.

"Unexpectedly...... It's really simple, but unfortunately I didn't think of it. Herbert followed behind Shen Yan and said with some remorse, he can also make freezing potions. But in the world of magicians and alchemists, inspiration is the most important talent, and he can only sincerely admire it. "And tomorrow?"

Shen Yan shook his head, "Believe me, this method can only be used now, I bet that tomorrow these tentacles will definitely become resistant to low temperatures." ”

"Reasonable guess." Herbert sighed. This method also has a disadvantage, that is, the continuous cast consumes too much, and can only be used to clean up short-range passages. He guessed that Shen Yan also had a way to consume less and pass through those tentacle passages for a long time, but he couldn't think of anything.

"Library, right ahead." Herbert breathed a sigh of relief at the sight of the gate.

However, when they squeaked the door of the library and pushed it inward, they saw a person standing with his back to them, between the shelves of the library. At the sound of the voice, the man turned gracefully, revealing a familiar face...... Both Shen Yan and Herbert had seen the man's self-portrait. He showed no signs of being contaminated with flesh and blood, and was dressed in a crisp aristocratic garment, with two rows of silver buttons glittering under the torches.

"Welcome to my library, my child, what shall I call you...... Guys? He said.

"Father...... Father? Herbert shouted.

Shen Yan shrugged, that's why he didn't let Catherine come with him - if Herbert was only three points similar to him at most, then the was five or six percent similar to him, and a fool could see that there was a problem!

"Sorry to correct it," Shen Yan said, "Don't scream, I'm your grandfather!" ”
