Chapter 34: The Man Who Lurks in the Dark

John and Laudeira walked side by side on the deserted road, and on both sides there were still dilapidated residential buildings from an unknown number of years ago, which looked a bit like the ruins of a town left over from a certain era, and it seemed that it had been a long, long time, and many of the buildings had collapsed, and they were almost impossible to see their original appearance under the erosion of time.

But the strange question arises, since it is a ruin, why are there strange glowing objects everywhere that provide a view, making the ruins that should be in darkness less terrifying.

In the unknown dark environment, it has always been the most feared existence of human beings, because no one knows what terrifying things are staying in the darkness where they can't see their fingers.

Although there are glowing objects placed in different places to illuminate some places, some dark places are still unreachable, and no one can predict whether there will be any danger in them, especially in such places where magic and perception cannot be used, which is extremely dangerous for vulnerable humans.

Even so, if you don't do something, you won't get an answer, and Laudera, who has experienced countless dangers, knows this, but only by taking the risk that the nearest glowing object is on a nearby ruin, and you have to step into the so-called darkness to get it.

Laudeira wanted to see what these glowing objects were, and she always felt as if she had seen them somewhere.

John had some impression of the luminous object, as if in the vampire's castle the lamps were decorated with this round pearl, but he did not know what it was, and he had no interest in furniture decoration.

The two of them changed direction together, stepped into the ruins in the darkness, and walked into the ruins under the guidance of the lamp, which was a four-story house, the stairs and ceiling had collapsed, and it seemed that there was no other way to go, and after a closer look, they found that as long as they walked up according to the position of the collapsed stones, they should be able to reach the highest point where the glowing object was placed.

Halfway through, the sensitive John noticed something inhabiting the darkness, and it seemed that because John noticed it, it hid itself again, and soon lost its trace, whether it was a man or a monster, it was a little hard to say, John thought to himself.

Seeing that John stopped walking and looked around, Laudera, who walked in front, asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?" ”

As she spoke, she shone the lamp where John was looking, but there was nothing, nothing but the dilapidated walls, which could collapse at any moment.

"I just saw something running over." John didn't intend to hide it, and said casually.

"Hey, is that so?" Although John said so, Laudeira saw nothing, she is a person who only sees is believing.

John didn't want to explain any more, thinking that she would know when she saw it herself, and urged without changing his face, "Let's go, maybe I'm wrong." ”

Coming to the highest place where the luminous object was placed, Laudeira handed the lamp to John, and she took off the luminous object and held the round luminous object in her hand.

If you look closely, the well-informed Laudeira knows what she has in her hand, which is a very precious and rare deep-sea pearl, known as the "Eternal Light Pearl", a strange pearl that can shine forever, often used by wealthy nobles as an indoor lighting object, inlaid in the ceiling, and it is said that just one can completely illuminate a hall filled with more than 1,000 people. But judging from the facts in front of you, it seems to be too exaggerated, and it is already very good to be able to illuminate a small room.

Why is there such a valuable item in this place? As long as there is one, ordinary people can live without worrying about eating and drinking for a lifetime, and judging from the current light source, there are at least double-digit or more eternal light beads, my God, this is not true, right?! Could it be that this is the burial place of some king?! Laudeira was speechless in astonishment.

Generally speaking, this kind of precious thing is only available to rich and powerful nobles, at most two or three, the palace where the king of the country lives in order to show the country's financial strength and strength, usually has more than double digit Yongguang Pearl, so many Yongguang Pearls in front of me may only be seen in the palace, Laudeira had the honor to go to the palace once, so she knows very well how shocking the scene in front of her is.

John didn't think as much as she thought, and he was thinking now about how to catch the people who were peeking at them in the shadows.

Oops, it's been found again?! Obviously he didn't use his eyes to see, but he didn't expect it to be so keen, and John felt that the guy in the place where he noticed began to run away again.

Ah, no matter so much, grab it first!

As soon as he jumped, John jumped down the stairs and sprinted with all his might towards the fleeing guy.

When Laudeira saw that John's figure had disappeared into the darkness, she strangely followed.

Specific speed? I'm sorry, he really hasn't lost to anyone, and being able to fight the Sword Master in the Epic Realm is enough to prove his strength, even if it's because of the Buff.

Extreme parkour in the obstructed and twisty building passages, fortunately there is a faint light for John to see, otherwise he would not have dared to run so fast, what if he hits or trips?

The fleeing figure was as agile as a rat in a sewer, and if he didn't pay attention, he could lose its tracks, and John knew that if he chased it like this, he would only not be able to catch up because of the unfamiliar terrain, and he might even be tricked around, and he would have to make a bolder move to catch it.

Crash through any building that stands in front of him, this is John's simplest and most direct method, what is a physical strength type lich, it is like a barbarian rampage in this situation, no matter what so much, he is not human.

With the sound of destruction, John at full speed destroyed anything in his way, and got up in an unstoppable way to chase the fleeing sewer rats, the distance was shrinking, and it was only a matter of time before he caught it.

"Haha, got you!" John pounced on the hungry tiger, and when it was too late to escape, he held it in his arms, and the two of them rolled to the ground together, crashing through the fragile wall next to them.

Because John firmly held it in his arms and wanted to struggle to escape, no matter what countermeasures it used, it could not escape, like a fish pressed on a cutting board for slaughter, but due to the light, John could not see what it looked like when pressed on the floor, and was about to drag it to a bright place, when Laudela, who was holding a lamp, appeared.

"You, what are you doing?" Laudra's expression was also stunned after saying this.
