Chapter 51: The Trap
As soon as I entered the cave, I felt the cool air hit people, smelled a peculiar smell of stone stalactites, and was greeted by disturbed bats, and two corpses, which collapsed to the ground because of fatal wounds in the back.
The body temperature has not completely dissipated, and it is obvious that these two people were killed by the pair of centaurs of Sanders just now, and the unique dawn guard standard weapon in their hands, the bow and crossbow, has also been looted and disappeared.
The cave is not lit by any torches, and vampires do not need any light to survive, and their unique eyes allow them to distinguish the slightest movement even in the darkness without their fingers.
A tall stalagmite is like a crystal clear multi-layered pagoda, from the bottom of the cave straight into the top wall, as if to arch the top wall, it is like a huge egg cone ice cream high up there, it seems to be supporting the entire interior of the cave, the mottled marks on the stalagmite, proving that this was once an ancient ruin of magma flowing out.
The steel fence had been raised, and a stream ran from within, and although the visibility inside the cave was low, the light of the crevice between the river and the stones made it possible to find its way in.
Lin Xiu's movements are very light, almost without any movement, and his excessive agility allows him to fully play the role of a spy or assassin.
Just standing on the top of the rock and looking down, his brow furrowed slightly.
It seems that something is wrong, quiet, just too quiet, the whole cave is shrouded in this strange aura, like a secret place where treasure is buried, it has been hollowed out, and there is weirdness everywhere.
In front of a soul hound that had mutated, Lin Xiu stopped his steps, and the soul hound's blood had been sucked dry. The stiff body is like a specimen that has been cast with a watermark.
Bloodsucker?
Lin Xiu knew very well that the few people who entered before him did not have such an existence, although they chose to join the vampire camp, but their current identity was still human.
Hidden skills? Impossible, Lin Xiu trusted his own judgment when on the ship. He had already roughly estimated the strength of these people, and the characteristics of vampires were very obvious, and the strength of these people was not enough to resist the blazing sun.
That is, someone has already completed this awakening task one step ahead? And it's the vampire who completes this task?
But the apostle clearly issued such a mission, why is that?
Although this thought proves that the situation has reached the worst level, it must be investigated for now, and perhaps the sarcophagus is no longer Miss Serana.
A bold idea came to Lin Xiu's mind, if it is said, Serana has been rescued in advance. And this man has joined the vampire camp, which is simply the worst case scenario.
If things really turned out to be his guess, then all this meant that they had entered a trap this time, a trap that had already been designed.
The absence of the dragon's roar is still secondary, and the contractor who was hopeful by the C.C. is also very likely to stand on the opposite side.
What's more, there is already a person who is familiar with this script standing by Hakong's side, and with this strength, it is unfortunate that there is a vampire in the Eight Senses, such a layout and task branch. It's a match made in heaven.
Now that there was such a guess, Lin Xiu's actions became more cautious. The speed also increased a little, and he vaguely felt that the apostle seemed to make this branch even more confusing.
Continue to move along the stream, because of the gap in body style and night vision ability, Lin Xiu is higher than the people in front, and he didn't encounter any enemies along the way, it didn't take long. It was already quietly lurking behind Sanders and a few people.
Keeping a certain distance and being able to hear them before they find out is a good option.
"Does that idiot David's take so long to solve a piece of garbage?"
Sanders had clearly complained about David's delay, and they had slowed down as much as they could, but still didn't hear any sound behind them.
"Could it be that we underestimated that kid named Tilling? Maybe he's been deliberately hiding his strength. David wouldn't have been murdered? ”
It was a red-haired companion who was so suspicious, but as soon as he said this, he was slapped on the head by a one-eyed bald man next to him.
"You're funny, you think we're going to look away from that kid? You're doubting Sanders' eyesight.
In my opinion, it is estimated that David's kid didn't dare to come in because he was afraid, have you forgotten that he was almost scared by those vampires to pee his pants in Valhacs Castle before, hahaha, I really laughed to death. ”
Sanders was originally aroused by this man's words, but with the words of the one-eyed bald man, he shook his head and threw this almost impossible thing out of his mind, and he believed that his eyes would not be wrong.
Even if the other party is more than one person, no matter how deep the hidden kung fu is, it will reveal a little clue, after all, the unique flash of the awakened person can't deceive anyone.
And once he admits this person's speculation, it will be tantamount to losing face in front of his subordinates, which is definitely something that should not happen to this small team that is not stable now.
Therefore, after hearing the words of the one-eyed bald man, Sanders also pretended to be arrogant and snorted coldly, which was regarded as his own attitude.
"The question is, should we continue to wait for David? The front is the lowest level of the soul stone tomb, but fortunately, there are miscellaneous soldiers along the way, otherwise this dilapidated terrain is enough to give people a headache. ”
Another companion's opening of the mouth asked, temporarily relieving the embarrassment between several people.
"Wait for him to fart, since he doesn't want a reward, then don't say that we are not interesting enough, I guess that kid is lazy and falls asleep outside, leave him alone, and let him be greedy when the time comes."
Sanders made such a decisive decision. A dozen stone bridges were connected to a huge spiral table, and a brazier more than half a person high stood on the ground one by one.
Along the stone bridge is a three-circle stone track, the brazier is scattered in various places on each ring, and in the middle is a small stone pillar to activate this mechanism. Obviously, to press your hand on it to contribute a little blood.
In fact, from this point, you can roughly guess that there should be a vampire hidden under this platform, after all, the mechanism that needs blood to activate can be somewhat related to vampires.
Sanders gestured with his eyes, and one of his companions reluctantly put his hand on the top of the stone pillar, but he also knew that it was just a dagger piercing his hand, although it hurt, but there was no danger.
But such a thing. Sanders obviously won't defy the law himself, in that case, his combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced, and if there is any unexpected situation, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not capsize in the gutter.
That companion was the weakest of the few, so when it was his turn, although he complained a lot, he was helpless.
Press your palms on top of the stone pillar above. Waiting to supply their own blood, right now. Sudden mutations.
"Ahh
This scream did not come from the mouth of the man who pressed his hand on the stone pillar, but the moment his hand pressed on the stone pillar, an extremely sharp giant sword shot straight up from under his feet, instantly splitting him in two, splitting him in half from the middle of his body.
The neat and sharp blade of the sword made his body almost perfectly divided. Because of the sharpness of the giant sword, the internal organs did not flow to the ground in an instant.
Seeing such a strange scene, Sanders and several people nervously grabbed the weapons in their hands, although they also knew that the Apostle was willing to tamper with the plot, but perhaps it was too calm along the way, so that they had already ignored this point.
Until the moment of the tragic death of this companion. This is not a simple single-player game at all, but a horror space that the Apostles can modify at will.
Seeing the tragic death of his companion like this, some people couldn't help but let out an exclamation, and couldn't help but take several steps backwards.
"Silence!"
Perhaps it was because of the tragic death of his companion that Sanders lost his composure, and he was obviously taken aback by the mutation just now.
But he was the one who calmed down the fastest among the several people, and immediately stopped the shouting of his companions, in case this panicked shout caused unnecessary trouble, it would be too worthless, fortunately, it was only the worst one who died.
Sanders's psychology couldn't help but be a little afraid, but fortunately, he was more worried, otherwise the speed of the sword just now would not be able to dodge it at all with his strength.
Lin Xiu, who was hiding behind the gargoyle, frowned even more, no, the mechanism just now was definitely not a malicious tampering by the apostle, it should be a man-made change, although the speed of that sword was fast, but if Lin Xiu concentrated, he could still dodge.
In this way, the speculation just now is a little more certain, it seems that someone has already swept this place in advance and turned it into a trap for bait.
"It seems that the apostle doesn't intend to let us pass the level easily, but fortunately, the soul flame has risen, so everyone should be careful, don't forget that we are only a few steps away from the goal."
Sanders took a breath and spoke to his companions in as calm as he could, purple soul flames rising in the crack of the innermost stone track, and these blue-purple flames strangely ignited a brazier, linking the central position with the trajectory between the brazier.
Although they were moved by the tragic death of their companions, several people quickly regained their composure, after all, such a situation has happened from time to time in the apostle's space for a long time.
Everyone began to push the brazier, linking the blue-purple flames one by one, and finally forming a circle of fire around the whole body, and as the last brazier returned to its place, the stone platform emitted a loud humming sound, like a spiral trajectory, sinking deeper and deeper.
Three circles of staircase-like tracks extended below, and the sarcophagus slowly rose from the ground, looking at such a strange scene, several people were relieved at the same time, although the apostle tampered with the plot, but obviously everything was still going according to expectations.
"You go and open the sarcophagus and rescue the eldest lady."
Sanders held the giant axe in his hand with both hands, and did not dare to relax in the slightest, the strange scene just now had already made him a little alert. There is no guarantee that the apostles will not produce any more moths.
"Why, head, it's not fair for you to do this, everyone can see the scene of Howard just now, and you let me die at this time?"
The man apparently guessed Sanders' thoughts, and confronted him with a weapon in his hand. Obviously, he didn't intend to be sacrificed as cannon fodder.
"You dare to disobey orders?"
Sanders was a little angry for a while, he didn't expect this guy to disobey his words at such a moment, but if he killed him at this time, then several other people would definitely not obey his orders.
The man didn't answer, but the look in his eyes already showed that he didn't intend to accept Sanders' advice, and several other people looked at Sanders' eyes, obviously not going to risk their lives to open the sarcophagus.
"Hmph, you cowards, for nothing I took care of you before. Okay, I'll go, but then again, whoever rescues Serana will be closer to someone, maybe that person will be the Vampire Lord in the future, and you won't regret it then. “
Sanders threw out another temptation, but several people were apparently unmoved. The vampire lord is tempting enough, but he always has to live a small life.
Sanders already knows. If he didn't open the sarcophagus himself, I'm afraid it would be difficult for these people to listen to him in the future, and he was a little angry when he thought of this, it seems that this mission is over, and there is no need for these teammates to stay.
Although there are various ideas in the mind, it is obvious that the sarcophagus in front of you is the first hurdle that must be faced. Sanders moved nervously, cautiously approaching the sarcophagus.
He was ready to retreat at any time, and his strength had already been poured into his legs, so that if something happened, he could flee as soon as possible.
The distance is getting closer. But the sarcophagus stood there quietly, as if it had fallen into a deep sleep, without warning of danger.
Watching Sanders approach step by step, the hearts of several other people also rose to their throats, but Sanders was about to touch the sarcophagus, could it be that their guess was wrong?
Sanders hesitated, but finally reached out, and just as his hand was about to touch the sarcophagus, a warning signal suddenly sounded in his heart.
"Buzz"
The stone slab of the sarcophagus scattered with a distance, and flew directly out in four directions, Sanders had already been alert, although the distance was the closest, but the strength was also the highest among several people, a short body, and it was able to avoid the attack of the stone slab.
But the attention of the other two companions has always been on Sanders's body, and the flying of the stone slab has no warning at all, and it is directly photographed.
One of the unlucky companions was directly hit in the skull by the slate, and before he could make a scream, he was already dying, while the other was also hit by the slate in the thigh, and could only lie on the ground and wail continuously.
The sarcophagus was scattered, and it was not Miss Serana standing inside at all, but a corpse demon lord, and the attack just now was obviously launched by its roar.
"Withdraw, we've been tricked."
At this moment, no matter how stupid Sanders was, he guessed that he was being put on the spot, and since Serana was not here, it was obvious that the plot had either changed or had already been taken first.
"All to all"
A series of loud noises, one after another stone doors fell, sealing all the original exits, obviously the people who set up this mechanism did not intend to let them leave alive.
There was no need for Sanders to greet him, the moment several companions saw the corpse demon king, they had already begun to scatter and flee, and Sanders had already been entangled by the corpse demon monarch because of the closest.
The corpse demon lord carried the plate axe in both hands, and quickly attacked Sanders, this strange corpse demon lord was obviously not an ordinary level, and every collision made Sanders' arm numb.
"Oh no, the gargoyle has come back to life."
One of the companions had just run to the top of the stone steps, and the stone statues that had been motionless were instantly activated, and with the flying of the stones, they killed several people one after another.
These gargoyles are clearly of vampire blood, and although the wings behind them do not allow them to fly, they are extremely fast, and they are huge, and even the strongest Sanders is half a cut shorter than their body.
A companion had just rushed to the side of the gargoyle, and before he could make any defensive moves, half of his head was bitten off by the gargoyle, and the gargoyle's large mouth was chewing bloody, all proving that this place had become a dead place.
Sanders screamed loudly while fighting with the Corpse Demon Lord, but the Corpse Lord's strength had obviously been magnified many times, and after a loud roar, Sanders sadly found that the weapon in his hand was gone.
At the same time, the entire cave began to shake violently, and the stones continued to fall from above, threatening to collapse at any time.
Lin Xiu was already ready to retreat at any time, and the moment he guessed that this might be a trap, he was ready to flee at any time, which also allowed him to avoid the fatal blow of the gargoyle beside him earlier.
Lin Xiu's location was relatively close to the stone gate, and in the rapid shuttle, the survey shuttled out in an instant before the stone gate closed.
Everything is self-evident, this place has obviously been set up as a mechanism, if it weren't for these few ghosts to find the way ahead, I'm afraid I would have been left here forever.
In this game, there is no room for a moment to take lightly, Lin Xiu has already carved the road here into his mind in Xiao Ai's information, so he escaped the catastrophe, otherwise those giant gates that continue to fall will definitely seal him in this collapsed cave forever. (To be continued......)
