Chapter 343: Weird
"It's not an infidel," Hao Ren roughly guessed what was going on here based on the situation in the camp, "it should be the stone giant......
"Golem?" The bearded man was surprised, "What's that?" β
At this time, Betsy rushed up from behind, and she remembered that the Templar Orb had been missing for several months, and the four dervishes were still unclear about the situation in their hometown in the past few months, so she took the initiative to explain: "That was after your disappearance, about two months ago, we encountered a huge monster while crossing the Dragon's Back Mountains......"
Betsy talked about the situation of the stone giant in a few words, and then mentioned the mess up and down the entire Holletta Kingdom after the disappearance of the Templar Orb, the bearded face, which was always blank, finally had a different expression, he frowned and subconsciously put his hand on the cloth bag on his waist: "Monsters have appeared in the Dragonspine Mountains, and they want to break into the holy lake?" Could it have something to do with the Templar Orb leaving this world? β
Hao Ren casually threw a piece of broken wood on the ground and looked up at the bearded man: "At first, we also thought so, we thought that the Templar Orb might be some kind of suppressive thing, after leaving the dream plane, the ancient monster sealed in the Dragon's Back Mountain Range was resurrected, but now it seems that this guess is not very reliable......"
The number jΓΉ terminal next to it explained: "That thing is just a number jΓΉ library. β
The group was worried about the situation in Leighton Town, which was the only way to the Blood Lake from the Dragonspine Mountains, and the destruction of this outpost in front of them might not be spared. But according to the state of the outpost, this attack should have been a few days ago, and at this time, it didn't make much sense to rush to Leighton Town early or late, so Hao Ren decided to look here first to see if there were any clues. Maybe it will be used in the future.
As soon as Lily heard the words "find clues", the racial instinct suddenly burned and could not be suppressed. Immediately with his head down, he scurried around the camp, and Hao Ren knew that Lily was reliable in this kind of thing. Just follow her and hang around. I saw Lily digging a hole and grabbing a wall, and it didn't take long for her to turn the nearest few houses upside down, and finally she lay on the ground and even sniffed and listened to toss for a long time before finally locking a place, and immediately waved her claws to dig down, and in a moment she was almost able to bury herself in it, Vivian looked at her from the side and couldn't help but say to her: "Let you find things, I didn't let you bury your bones......"
"Don't make a fuss, I'm looking for clues," Lily's tail wagged on the edge of the pit. The voice came from the bottom of the pit, "Didn't you notice that there was blood in this camp, but there were no corpses in sight?" Based on the devastation at the scene, I don't think the soldiers in this camp were able to withdraw in an orderly manner - even the walls were smashed, it was a fiasco. β
Hao Ren thought that Lily was just digging holes, but he didn't expect this girl to really be able to analyze something, he looked at the surrounding situation and suddenly felt that what Lily said made sense: "That's right...... Where are the bodies...... What are you doing? β
Lily didn't raise her head, and her voice became lower and lower: "It's not a planing ...... I just heard something down here......"
The husky's ability to dig pits is not small, and Hao Ren watched as the girl's body descended at a speed visible to the naked eye. Only a puff of rubble kept being thrown out of the pit, and by the time he could react, he was already buried to his knees. He looked down at the gravel with a strange expression: "...... This whole plateau is a stone ......."
Vivien was spinning on another not-in-cheek thought: "What if I bury her in a gust of wind?" β
Hao Ren: "You two can't have peace for a day?!" β
Hao Ren and Vivien were chatting around when they suddenly heard Lily let out a short exclamation at the bottom of the pit: "Ah! β
This was followed by the sound of falling rubble and heavy objects falling from below. When I looked down again, Lily's figure had completely disappeared into a large black hole. Hao Ren looked nervously at the entrance of the cave: "Lily? What's next? β
A burst of red light suddenly lit up in the depths of the black hole, and Lily's voice followed: "There's a very deep hole down here!" It's a tunnel! β
The others gathered around when they heard the commotion, and they were first amazed at Lily's ability to make holes. Then the eyes of several people fell on Betsy, and Nangong May pointed to the cave: "Is there a cellar under this camp?" β
Betsy shrugged: "How do I know." I'm just a mercenary, not a soldier hereβbut so to speak. There shouldn't be a cellar or a tunnel down here, it's just a small station for sentry, and it's surrounded by unstable tidal flats, and whoever has enough to eat and dig tunnels underneath it. β
Then Betsy stomped on the ground again: "Not to mention that the whole camp is still built on a boulder." β
Hao Ren couldn't help but think of the last time he drilled the tunnel, when he broke into the underground palace in the United Kingdom and was chased and beaten by hundreds of tin cans, he still remembered vividly, and the tunnel didn't leave a good impression on him. Vivien also smacked her lips: "Why is it that all the conspiracies and tricks are involved in the cave?" β
At this time, Lily shouted again: "Hey! Can't you get down? If no one comes down, I'll jump up and get out of the way......"
Hao Ren turned his heart sideways: "Wait!" Let's go down! β
A group of mermaids rushed in, but fortunately none of the people present were ordinary people, and Lily made a fire light underneath, and it was not difficult to jump into this deep hole. After jumping down, Hao Ren could see clearly what kind of lighting Lily was using: she summoned her ice and fire claws, and now she is using the flaming flame claw blade as a torch, don't you really say it, this thing is really bright, even Vivian can't help but praise: "Fire Joy is very easy to use......"
Lily gritted her teeth: "I'm anxious with you when you mention this name again!" β
The bearded man looked around and muttered, touching the smooth stone wall, "It was made by magic." β
Hao Ren then paid attention to his surroundings, and he found that the tunnel that Lily dug was indeed a bit famous: the whole tunnel was not supported by any stone and wood, and the pit wall was so integrated that there were not even any gaps or holes in the stone wall, as if it was drilled out of a whole boulder. If on Earth he would suspect that this was the masterpiece of a small shield machine, and here, according to the bearded man, it seemed to be the effect of magic?
Betsy is also half a mage, she touched the wall thoughtfully: "To be able to open a tunnel of this scale, at least a magister-level character, and the tunnel itself is still long-term solidified, which requires higher strength, and a small outpost can't use this kind of battle." β
"It seems to be a bit bloody here, too," Vivien frowned, she was so sensitive to blood that her "sense of smell" in this regard was on par with Lily's, "It's strange, there's no corpse here...... How did the bloody gas come about? β
This strange and dark tunnel stretched far on both sides, Hao Ren closed his eyes and sensed it carefully, and noticed that a breeze was coming from a certain direction, so he pointed in that direction: "Look here first, see where it leads." β
When there was no objection from the crowd, Lily held up the fire and rejoiced...... Well, without mentioning the name, let's just lead the way with a torch in front. A group of people walked all the way down the tunnel under the leadership of the husky, everyone's nerves on the road were tense, originally Hao Ren thought that there was just a simple monster attack here, but the underground tunnel shaped by magic and with a "fresh" bloody atmosphere pointed to the clue to the human, he felt that this situation was a little wrong, and he didn't know if it was the sixth sense, he instinctively thought that this matter was also related to the blood lake.
Associated with the Blood Lake, it is very likely to be related to the "goddess", the legend of the destruction of the world that the gods and gods of this world chatter about has always been a big shadow in Hao Ren's heart, he feels that this legend has a lot to do with the strange state of the dream plane and the surface world, so as long as it is related to it, it is difficult for him to put it aside.
However, after walking all the way through the tunnel, everyone encountered nothing, and finally found that the trend of the tunnel was gradually upward, and the magically shaped rock wall shell also stopped abruptly when it was about to touch the ground, and a layer of not very tight gravel blocked the exit of the tunnel, and a very fresh wind could be felt blowing in through the cracks in the stone. Lily dug open the stone three times and divided it by two, and the people went out to find the sky full of stars: and it was back to the surface.
Hao Ren looked back and found that the lakeside outpost had disappeared into nowhere, and it seemed that he had run a long way underground.
"That's it?" Lily muttered a little frustrated, "I thought I could find some big conspiracy." β
"What are you expecting here," Vivien glanced at Lily, "isn't it okay to be safe?" β
Lily puffed out her cheeks: "It's boring, even if a group of little monsters run out at this time for me to fight, or I don't have any sense of adventure." β
As soon as Lily's words fell, Hao Ren suddenly heard a rumbling sound of heavy footsteps suddenly coming from the twisted woodland not far away!
Vivien slapped Lily on the head, "You crow's mouth!" (To be continued......)
