Chapter 43: The Ruins of Krimatha (4)
Jones and Dora run away!
Two tentacles instantly stretched out of the door and pursued them all the way down the corridor. That's fast, and it's powerful.
Along the way, Jones couldn't move the anti-demon walls in the slightest, and it was as if they had turned into ordinary stone walls when they encountered these tentacles. Although the anti-demon wall was not directly destroyed when the tentacles brushed it, Jones could see the obvious sand and dust shake off, shake, and even burst.
With a roar, the entire underworld shook violently. It's like an earthquake. It will collapse at any time.
Seeing that he was about to be overtaken, Jones had no choice but to shout, "Quick!
So, in the midst of the madness, Jones and Dora directly turned into bats. The silver moon armor worn on his body fell apart like a pile of bricks in a frenzy.
Two bats emerged from the cracks in their armor and continued to fly forward desperately with their wings flapped.
All of a sudden, the distance that had been getting closer and closer began to widen. The tentacles that stretched out in a straight line didn't seem to be as fast as it swept along.
It wasn't until the distance of about ten meters was that the tentacles paused, seemed to give up the pursuit on their own initiative, and began to retract little by little.
Jones and Dora also stopped, hanging in the air and flapping their wings.
Soon, the tentacles that had just been retracting stopped again, and then turned to continue the pursuit.
Helplessly, Jones and Dora had no choice but to continue to fly forward desperately, pulling away more than fifty meters in one go.
Finally, the tentacles paused again.
Jones and Dora hovered again, staring at the tentacles at a distance.
Of course, it may not be called "eye to eye", because these tentacles do not have eyes. Jones couldn't even comprehend how the other party sensed himself and Dora without eyes, and pursued them further.
This time, probably because the distance was too far, the tentacles didn't quickly resume the pursuit after Jones and Dora paused.
The two sides are at a stalemate.
Jones' eyes widened, and he carefully observed the strange creature that looked like a giant earthworm in front of him.
Jones didn't even know if to use the word "creature" to describe it. Because it has no ordinary creatures on its body at all, even the fluctuations unique to Warcraft. And as a "source of magic power", Jones can only feel it in the perception given by Lucy. Under normal circumstances, Jones would not have felt it on his own. Even the "magic source" that exudes is only the eyeball part that is the core. These tentacles simply don't have them.
It's scary. You know, tentacles make up the vast majority of its body. This is equivalent to saying that less than one percent of its body can be perceived, and the rest of it, whether it is Jones's habitual magic fluctuation perception, breath perception, or Lucy's magic source perception, cannot be detected.
The point is, you don't know how long these tentacles can be yet. From what Jones observed, the tentacles seemed to be infinitely elongated, but they just became thinner. At least Jones doesn't see any signs that it's reaching its limits. And once it is swept up by these tentacles, with the strength of Jones and Dora, it can be said that they will definitely die.
In the midst of the stalemate, Dora's voice suddenly sounded in Jones's head: "Master Jones, ...... behind"
Jones was stunned. Turning his face sideways, he saw Dora's eyes wide, looking at himself cautiously out of the corner of her eye.
In an instant, Jones' goosebumps were all up. Even if he didn't look back, he knew what was behind him.
Without the slightest hesitation, Jones immediately unleashed a shield spell at a very fast speed. Not for defense, because he already knew that the shield technique could not resist the frontal attacks of these tentacles. He used his shield to push Dora aside and push her aside. At the same time, he quickly retreated to the other side.
Almost at the same time, two slender tentacles stabbed from behind from above, and after falling into the air, they stabbed heavily on the floor tiles in front of Jones and Dora, instantly smashing several hard floor tiles into a deep pit, and debris flew away.
It has to be said that Jones' decision to turn into a bat was right. In this underground world, especially when facing such monsters, the bat form is much more convenient than the original form wearing silver moon armor.
In the dust, Jones took advantage of the bat's petite size to pass through the gap between the tentacles, and then used his small bat feet to grab Dora, who was still stunned, and dragged her out of the dust area, and then flew desperately into the open area.
When he flew some distance and turned around, Jones suddenly found that there were more than a dozen tentacles tumbling in the dust, including the two tentacles that had been chasing them earlier and had been more than fifty meters away from them before the attack began.
And at the same moment when Jones turned around, those tentacles seemed to sense that Jones and Dora were no longer in the dust, they all paused, and then turned around and chased Jones and Dora frantically.
There was really no choice, Jones could only flap his wings desperately, and use all his strength to drag Dora forward, hiding and fleeing in all directions in the boundless and criss-crossing underground world. Don't dare to stop for a moment.
......
At this moment, in the original room, the eyeball monster had already smashed Lucy's skull to pieces. Its eyes widened, and it stared silently at the bones that had been reduced to shreds in the darkness. It's like waiting for something.
Soon, the bones that had been crumbled up with a dark cyan light. Immediately afterward, the dark cyan light broke away from the fragment itself and slowly merged in the air, eventually forming the outline of a skeleton.
"Calm down, man. You can't defeat the Lich by strength alone. Lucy grinned and said, "I know you're a monster, but in essence the Lich is a monster to the vast majority of creatures in this world. Maybe there can be a common language between 'monsters' and 'monsters', and we can talk about it? It would be great if you could say something, and then I could judge what language you understand, and I don't have to try one by one. ”
The eyeball monster made a "whining" sound, as if it was gasping violently. Does it have a mouth and vocal cords, though?
It doesn't seem to be.
Not only does it have no mouth and vocal cords, it doesn't even seem to have ears. As for where those "whine" sounds came from, I don't know.
Just as Lucy was still trying to judge the meaning of the "whine" sound, the attack of the eyeball monster began again. It frantically attacked Lucy with its tentacles, and even its main eyeballs began to roll around the small room for it.
However, physical attacks have no effect on Lucy, who has been transformed into a soul state. The tentacles passed through Lucy's body one by one, as if it were just a shadow.
However, even if it can't attack at all, it doesn't seem to be able to stop the Eyeball's anger, and its attack continues.
Under the fierce attack, the surrounding walls shook violently with a roar, as if they would collapse at any moment.
The roar echoed through the underworld, and even Andrew's position could be heard clearly.
......
Looking in the direction where the voice came from, Andrew was stunned for a moment, then said with a grin: "They activated the Tomb Keeper." ”
"What is a Tomb Keeper?" Turu asked in a low voice.
"It's a magical beast summoned from the turbulence of space. It is said to be a Warcraft, but it is actually very different from the Warcraft in our world itself. Strictly speaking, they are not powerful, but completely do not obey the rules of this world. If you don't know them, you can't beat them at all. Not to mention us, even angels and demons can't handle it. Normally, it's something that neither angels nor demons want to touch. ”
"But the humans of Krimatha's time dare?"
"Because they didn't even want to come back here, they dared to release something like that. It will only pose a threat to those who sneak in here, and there is no threat to themselves at all. The humans of Krimatha's time went deep into the exploration of some 'unknown magic'. Even ahead of heaven and hell. ”
"'Unknown magic'?"
"It's magic that defies the rules, something beyond the plane. This kind of research can sometimes kill itself. ”
Tulu's eyes widened and he stared blankly at his master.
"It's no surprise that I know a lot. Andrew let out a long breath and said with a grin, "I wanted to come here more than a hundred years ago." I've looked at a lot of books about the time of Krimasha. ”
"Then why is the master here now?" asked Turu.
"Because it is useless for the light to come in, but to live to bring things out. It's useless to even just take it out. It's like that Krimasa pendant I owned before. It really works well. But if you can't solve the mystery inside, it's just a magic item, and it's only for good use. So we need the support of the Blood Elf Queen, otherwise we won't be able to digest what we get. ”
After taking a few steps in the narrow aisle, Andrew paused, then looked to the side: "This way, there may be a grave keeper in front of you." ”
As he spoke, he bent down and stepped into a narrow tunnel.
Under normal circumstances, probably no one would choose such a difficult path.
Tulu nodded and hurriedly followed.
......
At this moment, Jones had escaped the Tomb Keeper. Or at least that's what he thinks.
However, the situation is still very bad. He didn't even know where he was......
To make matters worse, the tentacles seemed to have a sense of his sound waves. As soon as he emitted sound waves, it wouldn't take more than five minutes for those tentacles to reappear. And he didn't even know if the tentacles belonged to the same Tomb Keeper......
This means that Jones and Dora are lost.
Yes, lost. Lost in the ruins.
It was pitch black all around, and Jones could only see about ten meters around him. Everywhere there are stone walls of the Magic Immunity, floor tiles of the Magic Immunity, and all kinds of roads that I don't know where to go......
How hard it was to get in, Jones still remembers vividly. If he gets lost, how can he find the original gap and get out of here?
If it was just an ordinary ruin, no matter how big it was, he would always have enough time to find it until he found it.
However, it is not. There are also unknown and strange monsters here. If you had seen that every source of mana was such a monster...... Then there are at least a hundred of them here.
Even, what he had just seen was only the weakest.
Fifty square kilometers, plus multiple layers, although not small, but after a hundred monsters are stuffed, it is very crowded. It's like traps everywhere......
Thinking about this clearly, Jones's cold sweat fell.
"Looks like I shouldn't underestimate this ......"
"Master Jones, what should we do now?"
"Find a way to get out of here. It's not important to look for anything anymore, we need to get out of here first. I'll figure it out after I'm out. ”
As he spoke, Jones pulled out the nine-petal snake flower badge from his body. It's that "locator". Although there are no twenty lichs in Megasnake City who are still in a spell casting state, it is impossible for the spatial gate to open within a minute. But as long as it is activated, Giant Snake City knows Jones's situation, and it is still easy to open the door of space within two hours.
Without hesitation, Jones launched the "locator".
However, the "locator" only flashed twice, and then the gem on it shattered......
Dora was stunned.
Jones silently put the badge back into his pocket: "Sure enough, it's useless, it's cut off by stones." ”
"That'...... What should we do now?"
"Let's take one step at a time, and find it slowly. We should have just run back...... However, there may be other exits. I'm starting to understand a little bit why Heaven and Hell didn't just ruin this place. Because there's something they can't handle either. ”
Looking around, every road looks exactly the same, and I don't know where to go.
Holding the hyacinth, Jones could only take Dora and start groping little by little. Be careful.
Fortunately, these monsters didn't seem to react to the light, otherwise Jones would have been doomed walking with a hyaccind.
This place is really a bit scary, unfathomable to the feeling. Now Jones regrets that he didn't bring in all the combat power directly.
Of course, if he had known about this situation, he might not have rushed in at all. He would arrange a camp directly outside, and then send at least half or more of the lich to squat, study little by little, and push inside little by little, without rushing.
After escaping the area that resembled the underground city, he seemed to rush deeper into the ground in a panic. It's different from where there are tall buildings everywhere and rooms everywhere. There are promenades hanging in the air everywhere.
Jones held up the hyacinth in his hand and explored little by little.
As he walked, he said to himself, "But...... If you can master this monster, you might be able to use it against Heaven and Hell. ”
With this in mind, his interest in the ruins of Klima suddenly skyrocketed.
At this moment, he didn't know that there were many things in this ruin, including the monsters he had just seen, that even the humans of Heaven, Hell, and even the time of Krimasha could not fully grasp.
Set a small goal first, such as remembering in 1 second: book guest residence
