Chapter 12: The Trail

Listening to the sound of heavy footsteps chasing behind him getting farther and farther away, Lin Ze breathed a sigh of relief, huh? There is a battle ahead? Who is it?

In another hallway, not far from the kitchen, a snake girl wielded two long knives and fought hard against two human heavy infantry, Anna! turned out to be an acquaintance, Lin Ze rushed forward without hesitation, and before the two infantrymen had time to turn around with their backs to him, the long sword stabbed into the back of one of the infantrymen, and the power of running and jumping instantly penetrated the heavy back armor through the tip of the long sword, and the other was also stabbed by Sina's long knife because of a momentary distraction.

"Cook, cook, aren't you also human?" Syna looked puzzled.

Lin Ze rolled his eyes weakly, well, it is difficult to explain to the snake girls what kind of existence the explorer is in the cosmic civilization, and what does racial righteousness mean in that context, not to mention, he is a human from the Water Blue Star, not all human beings are of the same race.

"Explain this later, why are you still here, and you didn't leave with the other snake girls?"

"The Great Elder ordered to find the Queen, but I kept looking for it, and was later found by two humans and chased here."

What a fool~ Lin Ze shook his head slightly, "The road is impassable over there, follow me!" Si Qin, you just take care of the baby, Sina, you are responsible for carrying all kinds of luggage, I will deal with the enemy, listen to me! ”

"This ...... Oh~" Sina nodded in vain.

Not good! Lin Ze suddenly felt a hostility aimed at him, and he didn't have time to explain, so he quickly turned to the way he came, swung his sword and knocked, "Ding~" There was a crisp sound, and a crossbow bolt slanted into the stone wall next to him.

"Let's go! Go to the tunnel under the kitchen, there are crossbowmen", Lin Ze clearly saw a human in light leather armor shrinking back from the corner of the wall with a resentful face.

Fortunately, he overcame all difficulties at the beginning, and spent a sky-high price from another explorer to get a secret to improving the strength of mental power at the highest level of only two levels, for any civilization, the complete cultivation system includes the method of improving the strength of the body and the strength of the mental power, Lin Ze's obvious advantage of exercising mental power is similar to the sixth sense, although he can only sense the hostility directed at him, which also gives him considerable help, of course, the strength of the mental power is raised to a sufficient level, and the effect is more, It can even open an invisible spiritual force field and accurately sense those things that enter the spiritual force field, which is not something that low-level explorers can get, and the spiritual power improvement method is more rare than the physical strength improvement method, so the cultivation system of high-level civilization is particularly rare, not only complete, but also highly efficient.

When the snake girls all went down to the passage under the kitchen, Lin Ze turned around, picked up a few bags of leftover flour and threw them at the narrow entrance of the kitchen, sprinkled them with animal oil he had refined, and then pulled a lit wooden stick from the fire pit and threw it on, hoping that the fire would block the pursuers for enough time.

Returning to the hall where he met the zombie lord again, Lin Ze came to the back of the dragon wall, just in an inconspicuous gap between the stones, he could see a ring hanging from an iron chain when he turned his head sideways, without hesitation, Lin Ze pulled down the iron ring, and there was a sound of heavy stones rubbing against it, the stone wall that Lin Ze was staring at retreated completely, and then retracted to one side, and a doorway about two meters high appeared, sure enough, Lin Ze felt that this stone wall was a little strange at the beginning, and in his explorer's eyes, the appearance of the stone wall was not very natural, He took advantage of the snake girl's disposal of the black gold, quietly probed, and found that there was a very slight wind blowing, and then he found the inconspicuous iron ring zipper.

"There really is a way", Si Qin sighed, and then looked at Lin Ze meaningfully.

Lin Ze smiled indifferently, and had a tacit understanding with Si Qin with a look that everyone understood, and then took the lead in entering, there was also a pull ring on the wall inside the doorway, and with a slight pull, the stone wall was moved out and blocked the doorway.

Lighting the torch, Lin Ze walked in front with a sword in his hand, and he didn't walk for long, "Sizzle~", a piece of golden light flashed into his eyes, and he entered a small stone room along the passage, and there was a stone pier in the middle of the stone room, on which a large pile of gold coins were piled up, mixed with a few small unprocessed spars, shining golden under the torch, these should be the tomb owner's iron coffin could not be placed' Balance', he carefully checked if there were any traps, and then put away the gold coin spar, there is a path behind the stone chamber that slopes upward, this passage is probably the last passage for the craftsmen who buried the owner of the tomb to leave, because Lin Ze did not find the remains of those lying on the ground in the entire tomb, and the Nords did not seem to have the habit of killing tomb builders.

……

The battle in the tomb hall is about to be decided, although the Great Elder dodges the magic through the corridor wall between the hall and the side hall, after all, it is still gradually exhausted under the non-stop range spell damage of Marcas, and the enemy who blindly defends and dodges is exactly what the fragile mage is in line with, and the scarred Great Elder has almost retreated to the passage where the snake girls left, according to Ellie's style, it should have been far enough for such a long time, she looked at Marcas who was walking slowly in the distance, and held the long knife in her backhand, Pierced himself in the chest hard.

"Someday, our snake girl clan will come back......"

……

The emerald green leaves parted abruptly, and a beautiful shadow jumped out of it, and the slender legs drew a wonderful arc in the air, and finally stepped lightly in the soft grass. Only then could you see the mottled colors on the knee-length boots, one brown and one jet black.

A sparkling jade hand skimmed over the exposed waist, grabbed the irregular lower edge of the leather armor blouse, and pulled it down fiercely, as if it would make the blouse longer.

After giving up the act of stretching the leather coat in a dejected manner, the jade hand rubbed it on the belly, "Damn, it is still not possible to buy second-hand leather armor and change it yourself!" I knew that I wouldn't cut off the hem to sew shoes and quivers, and I froze to death this woman, and those hateful wood elf **** in the tavern actually wore belly-revealing leather armor to mislead this woman, and I was so angry! Next time, this woman must throw a few maple leaf fluffy caterpillars on their bellies! ”

The girl chattered to herself for a while, and then shook her head angrily, waiting for this woman to calculate, the 36th of the month of the beginning of the rain went out, and now what is the month of glory?

In the middle of the night, a sad cry came from the green bushes, "How is this possible, there are still 6 days less, this is not scientific, this woman is almost hungry into a skeleton, how can the dazed ranger wilderness survival mission be missing 6 days, obviously it should be more than ~~~~"

Just like the little dwarf from the Tower Alliance who was as surprised when he saw the huge bartender bill, the girl kept muttering the little dwarf's slogan "This is not scientific~", drooping her sharp ears, her face was full of grievances, and it took a long time before she suddenly cheered up again.

Fortunately, this woman was wise and martial at the time, she thought of the piece of jerky that was only the thickness of a finger hidden far away, hey~ I think that this woman still used a strong will like a mountain, so she resisted the temptation of hunger, and she should be able to carry it for 6 days after eating it, maybe? At least 4 days is no problem, when the time comes to "sightseeing" on the road, and then go back early in the morning on the 6th day, this is not 6 days, well! It's such a happy decision, this woman is really smart and witty.

Just after the girl walked for about 10 minutes, she came to a dense bush, and remembered that the woman's bag was hidden in the bush under the middle of the six trees, huh? Thanks to the elf's keen eyesight, he saw his leather bag flipped on its side on the grass, and a large bag bulged out on the leather bag, still moving around.

Snake? The girl hurriedly picked up a long branch and slowly approached, only to notice a fluffy tail exposed on the outside of the backpack, flicking it happily. "Jerky!" The rations of this woman!

The girl screamed sadly, hateful thief, cat catch! Jade Hand dropped the branch and poked up its tail......

"Woo~~~~" A little kitten with messy fur on its back was pinched and pulled out of the back of its neck, four small paws twitched helplessly in the air, and two black round eyes stared at the dried meat that fell from the mouth, full of deep sadness.

"The hateful thief dares to hurt the heart and soul of this woman!" The girl shook her hands angrily, and the kitten swayed helplessly in mid-air.

"Woo~~~~"

"Now begging for mercy? It's late! After eating the heart and liver of this woman, then you are the main course tonight! The girl completely ignored the small piece of jerky on the ground that was just a few more tooth marks.

Wait~ The girl noticed that the kitten turned out to be round ears, could it be a jungle predator tiger cub? Will it bite? The girl put the bow in her left hand on the ground, stretched out her index finger to break open the mouth of the little thing, and looked at the teeth that were not yet opened.

"Hmmm! For the sake of your sincere admitting mistakes, this woman will spare you from death", the girl looked at the dirty and thin cat with her head sideways, and muttered in a low voice, "It's not a few taels of meat, it's troublesome to wash, forget it~"

"However, you have hurt the soul of this woman, so you must pay the debt, and you will be the mount of this woman in the future! It's such a happy decision! Let's go home! "The girl smiled, haha, there is an excuse to go home, and this woman doesn't have to be hungry, this woman is witty......
