Chapter Ninety-Six: Leah's Adventure! (Above)
The back door of the cattle slaughterhouse.
A figure was lowering its figure, deftly walking through the narrow alleys surrounded by buildings of different heights, and it could be seen from the slender back and slightly slender figure outlined by a close-fitting leather armor that it was a slender and slender girl in a hurry.
Even though the mud on the ground stained the deerskin boots on her feet, the girl's footsteps never stopped. After a long time, she shrank into the corner and took the opportunity to take a breather to look back cautiously.
The sky was still overcast like water, and the Cattle Slaughter Hotel had disappeared into the shadows of the many buildings in the distance.
After making sure that no one was following her, the girl let out a long breath. A ray of heavenly light cast from the eaves reflected on her face, which had become unusually ruddy from running for a long time. The delicate facial features and fair skin make people leave a sweet impression at first sight. It was Leah, who was behind the bar in the hotel lobby not long ago. Kane!
Finally got rid of the group of mercenaries. I really don't understand why they stopped themselves from walking out of the cattle slaughterhouse.
Leah reached out and gently wiped the sweat from her forehead. After brushing the ends of the hair that fell to his ears, he took advantage of the short bow on his back. His tan eyes stared at the northeastern sky. While his eyes were full of anxiety, a trace of resoluteness flashed!
Grandpa must be found, he must be found!
Grandpa Kane is his only relative in this world. He hadn't been heard from since he had gone to the ruins of Sakaram Cathedral alone a few days earlier. If it weren't for hearing the news from the mouth of the oriental adventurer with black hair named Zhou Qi. Maybe you don't know it until now, but New Tristram is surrounded by monsters and undead!
Grandpa is in danger, perhaps ...... No! No, it won't! Leah shook her head vigorously. I don't have the courage to keep thinking about it. Grandpa, he's going to be fine! You must find him and bring him back alive!
At this thought, Leah stopped and flashed briskly from the corner. All the way to the northeast of the city.
When she peeked into her grandfather's adventure log, she clearly remembered that it had quietly marked an underground passage from the city to the ruins of Tristram. And the old demon-ruined town is located right next to the Cathedral of Sakaram.
Heaven is above, and may this underground passage be sturdy and safe enough to use. This is the only hope of finding grandpa by yourself!
Leah quickened her pace with apprehension in her heart. After burrowing into a small deserted farm, we headed straight to the place where the farm bordered the woods to the north. If the journal is correct, the entrance to the underground passage is hidden in the cellar beneath the old mill barn at the edge of the woods!
The mill's dilapidated windmill leaned crookedly against the half-collapsed roof, abandoned for a long time, and as in the rest of the farm, it had become dilapidated. Although located within the city walls. But no one wants to buy the farm. Even the wranglers of the city guard were reluctant to drive their horses to graze in fields overgrown with weeds.
Rumor has it that the entire farm has been cursed! And the fact is that since the mysterious death of the first generation of the farmer's family, everyone who bought the farm has inexplicably suffered the same fate. Even if the Templars had sent men, including a powerful paladin, to investigate, they couldn't find any reason.
Maybe this place is really cursed?
Thinking of this, a hint of fear flashed in Leah's beautiful brown eyes. He hesitated. In the end, it was the determination to save Grandpa's courage that finally triumphed over the fear caused by the legendary curse. After a moment's hesitation, she took two steps forward and reached out and gently pushed the rotten door of the mill!
"Squeak......
The dry grinding sound of the wooden door pin sounds extremely harsh! Inside the gloomy mill, the air is filled with a damp and musty smell!
Leah's eyebrows frowned slightly. Coughing softly, he reached out and fanned his nose in an attempt to ward off the terrible smell that caused him to vomit.
The barn is not far from the collapsed stone mill. It had been checked before, and the gate outside had long been blocked by a pile of collapsed masonry. The only way to enter it is through the small door located inside the mill.
Leah endured the discomfort, took a deep breath, held her breath, clutched the short sword hanging from her waist, and stepped into the room.
By the slanting light of the sky outside the house, Leah opened her eyes and searched around vigilantly. When her eyes fell on the cobweb-covered walls, her eyes lit up!
There's a blackened torch on the wall!
With torches for lighting, you'll be more confident about successfully traversing the underground passages!
Leah took a few quick steps and took the torch down. With a flick of his fingers, a pinch of orange-red flame burst out of his fingertips effortlessly lit the torch.
While fire brings warmth and light, it also gives people courage and hope! The moment the torch was lit, it seemed that even the fear in my heart was dispelled a lot.
Looking at the dissipating firelight from her fingertips, a hint of darkness flashed in Leah's bright eyes.
It is as if he was born with an extraordinary talent for magic. Not only can it control the flames, but it can also make boiling water freeze in an instant. However, all this did not allow him to get the praise and glory he deserved. Instead, both the Sanctuary and the Sensai refused to enroll on the pretext that they were the offspring of witches. And partners of the same age are also estranged one by one. The only thing that has accompanied his childhood to the present day is the love and earnest teaching of Grandpa Kane, and the thick adventure notes in his study.
Thinking of her grandfather, Leah swept away the memories that came to her mind. Reaching out and drawing the dagger from his waist, he raised his torch and walked towards the dark barn.
The sound made the bones soften, and the gnawing sound of the crumbling rope came from the depths of the dilapidated barn from time to time!
Under the firelight, a pair of miserable blue eyes lit up in the depths of the corner!
What is that? Leah's hand holding the torch couldn't help but shake! The light dagger seemed to be much heavier than usual in the trembling of his fingers.
"Squeak ......!" A series of screams followed, followed by a series of claws that were unique to the messy sound of claws rubbing against the ground!
In the flickering firelight, I saw black shadows the size of a wild cat, rushing out of the corner like lightning!
It's a mouse!
Leah could swear to heaven that she had never seen a rat this big!
"Don't come here!" In a hurry! Leah instinctively waved the torch in her hand and shouted loudly!
The flickering light of the fire caused panic among the rats! But they didn't stop there!
Leah walked around and saw huge rats crouching around in groups, hundreds of dark eyes, with greed and a thirst for food, staring at her!
Then!
There was a soft "click", as if the sound of a branch being blown off by the wind came from the direction of the doorway. It sounds so harsh in these abandoned mills that are deserted!
"Who? Who's there! Leah was startled and hurriedly turned around to watch!
However, the moment she turned around!
"Squeak.....
.” Accompanied by a scalp-tingling scream, the thirst for fresh food makes the hungry rats choose to attack!
Leah felt her arm sink, and then there was a sharp pain in her shoulder! She hurriedly turned her head to look, and out of the corner of her eye, she saw a particularly huge mouse lying on her shoulder! The trembling lips were still stained with blood, and the light leather armor on its body could not resist its sharp teeth, and it was easily bitten through in an instant!
"Ahh Get out of here! Leah screamed!
With a "dang bang", the short sword fell to the ground in a panic, making a deadly crisp sound!
Leah wielded the torch desperately, and out of nowhere got the courage and strength, she reached out and grabbed one of the mouse's front legs, pulled it off her shoulder, and threw it out! At the same moment, however, the legs and back became heavy as if they were covered with weight. Then I remembered the sound of teeth and claws scraping and tearing leather!
More rats jumped on top of her! And attacked!
"Nope! No! Leah screamed in a panic!
In the darkness, I saw her light brown eyes flashing two strange pale gold with this exclamation! Immediately turned into two oozing clumps of scarlet!
"Boom! Rumble! "With the sound of a series of flames burning, the bright flames, with the scorching stench of the burning furs, illuminated the whole barn!
"Squeak ......" panicked screams are endless! The rats on the ground seemed to see a natural enemy in the moment of the firelight, screaming and scattering!
Leah gasped violently, and as she saw the rats retreat, she fell to the ground with a limp. The face with loose hair is generally full of horror for the rest of his life.
That feeling is coming back!
Whenever faced with great danger. There is always a mysterious force in the body that will appear and save oneself from danger.
Thankfully, this time it appeared! Leah shuddered at the image of her body crawling all over these disgusting rats, her flesh being relentlessly bitten and devoured by them. Then he raised his arm with great difficulty and put it in front of him. Under the torn leather armor, the scratches and bites on the skin have stopped, and the wounds have begun to fade.
"Sure enough, it's still the same as before." Leah sighed softly. I can't help but be reminded of memories in my mind.
I remember once when I was young, I fell from that big tree in the town. Later, I heard from my grandfather that the broken bones in his body had been deeply poked into his internal organs, and even the priests of the altar had given up using holy arts to treat them after seeing them. He almost didn't pronounce his death on the spot.
However, after lying in the house all night, I woke up the next morning, and the fatal wound was miraculously healed! I felt this power for the first time when I was confused.
Of course, since this incident, the few partners have stopped talking to themselves. At the same time, in addition to the witch's scumbag, the cursed Leah, she has another name of the devil's daughter!
Grandpa's aging face flashed in my mind again.
Leah put away the dusty memories, barely moved her body, and leaned over to pick up the dagger that had fallen to her feet. He slowly stood up with the blade of his sword on the ground. Eyes locked on a filthy wooden cover in the corner of the barn!
That's the entrance to the staircase that leads to the cellar! The entrance to the passage is just below!
Grandfather! Can you hear me? Leah has come to your rescue!
