readx;? A milky white mist appeared not far behind the stone where the two guards were invisible, and then gradually spread, enveloping the entire stone and the surrounding area. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Then Alan released another gas sound barrier magic near the mist, and Captain Hoyning took the opportunity to signal the two team members to retreat immediately.
Soon two tiptoeing figures emerged from the mist and quickly joined several people.
"Let's take a step back and speak. β
Seeing that the expressions of the two team members were a little flustered and nervous, Captain Huo Yining knew that the matter might be more serious, so he immediately ordered everyone to retreat back for a while before talking.
After leaving the two players to break off, the others maintained a retreat formation and retreated until the passage and the stairs above the junction, where it was relatively safe because of the loud sound of running water, which could cover up the voices of the crowd.
"What's going on?"
Freeman, the historian who had been staying at the back of the formation and did not know the truth of the matter, asked as soon as he stopped.
"I don't know, let's hear from the two of them. β
Captain Huo Yining shook his head, and then turned his inquiring gaze to the two team members, who had returned to normal at this time.
"When we came down, we kept going down the road, and when we turned right on the boulder in front of us, we saw a door in front of us, and through the door, there was a huge space shrouded in a dark red light. But just as we were about to reach the door, we suddenly heard a sound of footsteps from the other side of the door, this footstep was not loud, but it was still very visible in the silent underground space, we were all taken aback by the sound, because we did not know the identity of the owner of the footsteps, we hurriedly hid behind a large rock next to us, waiting for the other party to appear. Then we saw several figures appear from the side of the door, these people were all wearing black robes and hats, at first we didn't see their faces, but based on their height and size, they were inferred to be humans, and they walked very lightly, so we speculated that they were at least warriors above the intermediate swordsman, so none of us dared to move at that time, for fear of being discovered by the other party. But soon we realized that we were wrong, they were not human at all. β
At this point, the team member who spoke not only swallowed his saliva, but although others could not see their expressions clearly in the dim environment, they could still feel the hint of fear.
"And what are they?"
The historian Freeman is also curious about the identity of the mysterious man who suddenly appeared in the monument that had been closed for hundreds of years. But the guards didn't answer his question directly, but continued what they had just said.
"Then we saw several figures appear from the side of the door, all of them wearing black robes and hats, at first we didn't see their faces, we always thought they were human. However, although they walked like humans, they did not make any sound, and because they were blocked at the door, it was on our way to come, so we could not retreat, so we stayed there. β
"Are they wearing the same black robes as the ones on the frescoes outside?"
Freeman, the historian, interrupted the two men again and asked questions of his own concern.
"It's very similar, it's all black robes, but this doesn't matter, the important thing is that we stayed behind the rocks for dozens of minutes, and finally a guy in a black robe turned his head and walked in the other direction, and at the time he turned his head, I could see his face through the dark red light in the cave, they didn't have a face at all, and there was only a skull under the black hat. β
When the guards said this, their voices trembled a little, which showed that the moment they turned their heads brought him shock and fright.
"You're sure you read that right, it could be a mask. β
Captain Hoinin really couldn't believe the truth of what the team members said, so he not only doubted other possibilities.
"No, we were looking through the cracks in the stones, and we were so close that we could be sure that the other man's head was a skull. β
The team members are convinced that they are not mistaken, and describe the appearance of the skeleton man in detail.
When listening to the guards describe what they looked like when they saw the skeleton man, both girls couldn't help but feel chills all over their bodies, Kelly hurriedly approached Elvis to seek some warmth, and when Felicia was feeling nervous, suddenly a big hand reached out next to her and grabbed her small hand, she looked up and saw Andri's handsome face with a charming smile, and couldn't help but feel hot, but she didn't break open her palm.
Although the others were not as worried as the two girls, they were equally shocked to grow their mouths, after all, there was such a thing as a skeleton man, which everyone had only heard of in stories, and had never seen it in reality.
"We're afraid we've encountered the undead this time. Everyone outside looked at the scene on the mural, and the skeleton man was also an undead creature created by the corpse control technique. It's just that I didn't expect there to be a monument inside, it seems that this monument should have been in the hands of the dark walkers, but I don't know if they deliberately arranged it at the beginning, or for other reasons, some of the undead creatures of the year are still left here, and these creatures have the instinct to kill in addition to acting under the control of the corpse controller, so if we don't kill these monsters, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to continue the mission. β
Freeman made his guess almost immediate, and it made perfect sense, and everyone nodded.
It's just that the next choice is in front of everyone, is it to kill the skeleton man and continue to search the altar, or to retreat in the face of difficulties and put safety first?
"The altar is so close at hand, if you don't even try it and give up, no matter what you think, I'll feel a little regretful. β
Andre once again made a statement, but his statement made everyone else look a little sideways, and they didn't understand why this delicate and expensive playboy was so aggressive this time, when he came down from the hall to explore, he took the initiative to ask, and now he even asked to continue to enter the altar at great risk. Maybe it's because Andre, the top student of the Knight Academy, doesn't have any outstanding performance except for showing his noble son's demeanor, and he is completely suppressed by Allen, and even Elvis is more important than him, so I hope that he can shine some light in the next action, right?
"Andrei is right, Your Majesty did not send us people here for tourism, just to deal with such difficulties and dangers, and a few skeletons do not seem to have anything difficult to deal with. β
A cadet, also from the Knight Academy, echoed AndrΓ©'s words.
"Skeleton people are not difficult to deal with, but we don't know what happens on the other side of the door, and if we kill the skeleton people guarding the door and alarm the other undead inside, it may be more troublesome. β
Captain Hoining was relatively thoughtful because he was responsible for the personal safety of the entire team. 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!
