Chapter 968, An Unexpected Discovery

As for the fact that there is such a deep secret under the ground of Paris, Captain Silas of the Knights of the Holy Lance can't help but gasp. Before that, he, like Archbishop Sully, had only heard of something bad about the tunnel, and he knew that it might affect the whole of Paris. But he never imagined that this underground labyrinth had so many layers, and if it weren't for the arrival of the foreign king, he might never know the secret of the Dao.

Turning his head to look at Xiao Yan, Captain Silas looked at the two stonemasons again, the silence of the moment put a tremendous pressure on the two stonemasons, and sweat continued to ooze from their faces, even on the night when it had become cold.

"Take us there."

The captain of the Knights of the Holy Lance commanded, and his words could not be heard in the mood swings just now. Then, the skinny captain turned to look at the other Lancers and said, "Four of you are out of the ranks, come down with me." Kami, you're in charge of delivering the message. No matter what the accident happens, make sure the information is clear first. ”

As a result of the Crusades, the Holy See withdrew a large number of knights, and the Knights of the Holy Lance remained in Paris with only one squadron, and it was not enough. At present, there are only about 20 in total, and this time, the captain is going to take a quarter of the team members, which shows that he is also very wary of this underground tunnel.

A few minutes later, a makeshift team had been formed and began to explore underground. Whether it's late at night or during the day, the underground tunnels of Paris are as dark and cold as ever. The wind blowing from the depths of the tunnel caused the torches in the hands of the stonemasons to fluctuate, so that the shadows on the walls kept changing, as if monstrous monsters were quietly awakening.

"If it's an abyss. Will Paris collapse? ”

After a period of silence. Silas couldn't help but ask the question. By this time, the thin knight captain had already put on his helmet, but he had not yet closed his armor, so his voice was not sullen.

Xiao Yan couldn't answer, in fact, he didn't expect that there was really anything underground in Paris. According to the original plan, he was going to enter this tunnel. Find a place to pretend to be a ghost, and see if you can get into the branches. But now it sounded like the underground tunnel had secrets he didn't know.

After thinking about it, Xiao Yan replied: "It depends on the specific situation of the abyss, whether it is expanding or not, and what is in it." Not all abysses are bound to give birth to monsters, and not all abysses are bound to bring disaster. If you can't look closely, you won't get results. ”

Silas nodded, then turned to look ahead, drew a cross on his chest, and said, "I hope so." ”

When the air goes down to the fourth layer. It's starting to get a little cloudy, and you can still smell a faint stench. One of the stonemasons humbly explained: "Some people died inside. We couldn't lift them to the ground, so we had to leave their bodies here. ”

The corners of Xiao Yan's eyes twitched slightly, there are too many explanations for "dying inside", it may be an accident or a man-made. Either way, the atmosphere here is really different from the one above. Silas could feel that, too, though he didn't say anything either. It doesn't matter what conflicts of interest or anything else between the masons, it's what exactly lies in this underground space.

Large and small quarry houses can be seen everywhere in the caves, and there are many depressions, which are the result of the excavation of stones. Xiao Yan walked into a pit and looked at the situation inside, these pits have a certain amount of weathering, and the original axe chisel marks are a little blurred, indicating that the excavation time of this layer is quite long.

This is a strange phenomenon, according to the normal excavation order, it should start from the first layer, and then dig under the stump. The deeper you go, the shorter the excavation time should be, until you reach the latest excavation site. However, now this underground labyrinth is the opposite, and the further you go down, the longer it takes to excavate. And the excavation surface that really supplied the stone to the Cathedral of Paris was on the first floor.

In other words, when the first excavation was made, those people or other beings started from the lowest and most difficult places, and worked their way up the ladder little by little. This method of excavation completely ignores the degree of difficulty and danger, and seems to be the result of deliberately reversing it.

This feeling is like some life underground, breaking through from the bottom up.

Silas was also able to see this, and after observing the nearest hollow in the excavation, the knight captain finally closed his visor, which meant that he was on full alert. Then, behind his visor, the little man said to the two trembling stonemasons: "I thought there was no secret to hide under the watchful eye of the Lord. However, it seems that the Masons Guild wants to show that they are capable of deceiving the Lord. Pray, both, and if your president can't give me a reasonable explanation, I don't mind letting him know what the fear of the Lord is. ”

"It's Notas!"

A stonemason, who couldn't bear the sharp gaze from behind, hurriedly said, "It's him, he found a vein in this cave!" ”

Silas was silent for a moment and asked, "What level of vein is it?" ”

"I don't know the way, oh my God, we really don't know the way. I only know that Notas has found a vein, but only Notas and his entourage know where it is and what it produces. Damn, several stonemasons who know his secrets have been killed by him, and we don't know anything except those who know Lu Dao. ”

Silas stopped abruptly and turned back to order, "Kami, go back immediately!" Report to the bishop everything we know. ”

Xiao Yan stretched out his hand to signal the captain's order to be nullified for the time being, and the young awakened man looked thoughtfully at the passage behind him and said, "Don't waste the lives of your men, now our route back must have been changed." No one was more familiar with this place than these stonemasons, and if Kami returned, he would only encounter greater danger, or get lost. ”

Silas also looked behind him, let out a long breath, and then asked, "What do we do next?" ”

"Keep going."

Xiao Yan created a bright light cluster in his hand to replace the flickering torches, at this time, he also felt something abnormal, and the black mist around her had begun to slowly seep out, and her figure became blurred.

"Only when we go to the bottom can we know what is in the Dao."

Hearing Xiao Yan's words, Silas nodded slightly, turned his head to look at the two stonemasons, and said, "If you had given us an answer earlier, things wouldn't have been like this. ”

The two stonemasons stood there silently, not responding to the knight captain's words. This strange reaction caused the light in Xiao Yan's hand to suddenly bloom violently, making the entire passage extremely bright. Under this light, the two stonemasons slowly turned their heads like machines, their faces already darkened, and blood was constantly flowing from the corners of their eyes, nostrils, and mouths.

"Our family is in the hands of Notas."

"Please help us."

After saying these words, the bodies of the two stonemasons froze, and then began to make a karakala sound. Their bodies were rapidly changing, and it looked like something was moving within them.

Xiao Yan is very familiar with this action, most of those zombie movies in the real world will have such a bridge, and after this process, two zombie stonemasons will probably appear.

However, Silas, who had never seen a zombie movie, would not give the two stonemasons enough time to perform, and after whispering prayers again, before the stonemasons could fully transform, Silas had already swung the giant sword in his hand. The heavy sword was not even unsheathed, but by virtue of its weight, it struck the brains of two stonemasons into pieces. After that, the stonemason's body fell straight to the ground, and after a few moments of struggle, he finally remained motionless.

Xiao Yan glanced behind him again, and after making sure that no special sound came out, he walked over to the corpses of the two headless stonemasons, reached out and dipped a little of the stonemason's blood, put it under his nostrils and sniffed. Then, under Silas' somewhat incredulous gaze, Xiao Yan made a cut in the back of his hand and smeared the stonemason's blood on the wound.

Almost instantly, the surface of his wound became charred black, and it was obvious that a black line was rapidly ascending along the veins of Xiao Yan's arm.

"King, do you want me to help you?"

Silas couldn't help but ask.

Xiao Yan didn't answer the knight captain's question, but pulled down his sleeve, and then watched the black blood line keep moving up. After passing through the elbow, the blood line slowed down, and when it was still a few inches away from his shoulder, the blood line finally stopped moving. However, at this time, below the blood line, Xiao Yan's entire arm and his arm began to festering and decaying rapidly.

"Do you want me to chop it down for you?"

The knight captain asked again, and Xiao Yan still didn't respond to such a question. He reached out and made an antidote out of thin air and poured it on his arm. The level 2 antidote seemed to be working well, and the rot on his arm quickly stopped, and then the cracked parts continued to get better.

Regardless of the knight captain's puzzled gaze, Xiao Yan re-created the holy water and carefully cleaned the wound, then stood up and looked ahead.

"This time it's a real opponent, a level 2 toxin, and the life of this world realm can't make these things."

He spoke hurriedly in Chinese, and as he spoke, the fog around him suddenly spread, and when the light in the passage dimmed, the form of the hell girl had disappeared.

No matter what happened in a hurry, Xiao Yan turned his head to look at Silas and said, "The enemy of the alien race, the real enemy. ”

Silas no longer had any suspicions after seeing Xiao Yan create holy water, even if it was a strange disappearance in a hurry, it did not surprise the knight captain. Hearing Xiao Yan's warning, Silas directly raised his hand and ordered: "Full alert!" (To be continued......)
