Chapter 296: Mother of the Crypt

Tracking down a group of Smuggler warriors in a pitch-black underground tunnel is as difficult as tracking a shark in the deep sea, and even the best tracker in the surface world can do very little in this narrow darkness, let alone be careful that the smugglers find themselves at every step of the way. But Krus does not belong to the surface, and strictly speaking, the blood flowing in the demon's body does not belong to this world at all, which allows him to do many things beyond the limits of ordinary people.

The surface of the Demon Descendant, which is integrated with the darkness, does not emit heat, and his eyes do not reflect any light, unless someone happens to walk up to Clarus and encounter this solid darkness, even creatures living in the dark underground will not be able to detect the existence of the Demon Descend. The deadly stalker sneaks behind his prey, observing the behavior of these strange creatures, while also marking his own location on the underground map in his head.

Like Kalus, the snakeheads who walked ahead were clearly familiar with the sewers built by the dwarves, and they did not hesitate to make their way through the dazzling corridors at breakneck speed. This made the Demonborn even more certain that the labyrinthine prison involved in his old friend might have lost its purpose. But before Krus could continue to ponder, heavy footsteps were heard from the depths of the passage. The giant that the crow had seen once appeared in front of the snakeheads.

The giant that the demons recognize, the behemoth in front of the snakeheads, curled up in front of the snakeheads, is called a caveman giant, and it will exist in the depths of many mountain ranges. They are often mistaken for caveman giants because of their environment, but in fact, these hairy humanoids are real giants. These big guys are peaceful by nature, they don't like to fight, but they are not kind, they are mentally retarded, and they often live together in groups. Krus wondered how the caveman had managed to get here. He hadn't heard of Grand Duke Hammer having pets underground.

However, no matter how the demon descendants guessed, it was obviously not the first time that the giant in front of him and the snakehead had met each other. The giant, who had occupied almost the entire tunnel, fell to his knees meekly like a child facing his parents, his hands on the ground, and brought his big face in front of the snakeheads. The Demon Descendant saw a broken wound on the giant's forehead, and the big guy was saying something in an aggrieved voice like the snakeheads, and judging from what he was pointing at, it should have something to do with the origin of the wound.

The impatient expressions on the faces of the smugglers showed that the men did not care about the giant's accusations, and in fact Clarus doubted that the smugglers would be able to hear the giant's humming voice. However, it also reminded the Demon Descendant that he had to think about what could hurt the giants in this environment, and he had a hunch that it had something to do with the gray-robed wizard.

Things got interesting. Clarus grinned his trademark hideousness, he didn't believe that the Cursed Raven would be taken care of by a giant, and the Grey Tower's place in the Dark World meant that the caster of his name would never die in such a ridiculous corner. I don't know if saving the wizard's life can make him forgive himself for not saying goodbye before. The Demon Spawn thought, following in the footsteps of the Serpents, who drove the giant to the front and continued to walk forward.

It didn't take long for the group to reach the entrance to the metal church, and the giant pointed to the blood on the wall of the corridor next to him, and some pointed to his wounds, muttering something. Ignoring their great servants, the warriors with stone spears began to inspect the nearby walls, trying to find traces of the giant's blood, and as defenders, they were not qualified to know how to enter the church. But now the priests who went to worship have not returned, so that the warriors can not care so much.

Unlike the blind snakeheads, the Descendants hiding on the roof had already noticed something, a circular groove, and although it was well hidden in the intricate walls, Krus had found the location of the metal hanging basket. Since no trace of the crow was found, the Descendant guessed that the sorcerer had successfully activated the trap and entered the dark room on the roof. All he had to do now was hide here and wait for the Raven to help him when he left the dark room. Let's hope the wizard doesn't stay in there for too long.

The truth is, the Demon didn't have to wait long for the sound of heavy breathing from the church to be heard through the metal walls. Rao was in the tenacious spirit of Krus, and he couldn't suppress the fear that came from the depths of his soul when he heard the sound of this breath. As for the snakeheads and giants, they were now lying on the ground and shivering like ants at the feet of humans, and they could not even raise their heads to find the source of their breathing.

The smile on the Demon's lips vanished, and he was now eager to leave everything underground, rush back to the surface, tugging at the dwarf's collar and asking him what he had buried beneath his city in the loudest voice he could. Krus found that he really couldn't comprehend the confidence of the Hammer Archduke when the warning came, and that this guy didn't understand how terrible it was for a being to breathe like that, and that there had never been anything in his long adventurous life that could make him feel such fear.

"Crunch!" At this moment, a snake-headed man accidentally stepped on the mechanism on the ground in a panic, and with the sound of a blink coming from the wall, the heavy metal hanging basket slowly descended from the roof of the cave. At the same time, an indescribable aura of terror escaped from the metal church along the gap in the roof of the cave. The snake-headed men sensed the deadly aura and began to chant something aloud in their language, and the Demonborn guessed that it was some kind of prayer.

The language of these smugglers was obscure and muffled, and Kalus had no way of matching it with any language he knew. However, in this succession of prayers, the word is again mentioned repeatedly, and unlike the pronunciation of other prayers, this word is supposed to be a direct transliteration of the other language. The Demonborn tried to get rid of the smuggler's noisy tongue when he spoke, and finally determined the meaning of the word in the pronunciation of the ancient dwarven language—Mother of the Crypt.

Mother of the Crypt?What does this mean, the name of some kind of godhouse?Karus guessed, at this time, a small black shadow rushed out along the gap opened by the hanging basket, and this small black shadow happened to pass by the side of the demon descendant, and Karus didn't think about reaching out and grabbing the black shadow. What he caught in his hand was a raven, a raven with bloodied eyes.
