"There were a lot of Corruptors there just now......" Lucina pushed open the hall door again, looked around warily and stepped inside.

"Let's talk quietly, Lusa. Lucina lowered her voice, "It's a blessing that she wasn't found just now...... Our luck won't always be so good. ”

Nervous, Lusha nodded, her fingers on the trigger for added security.

"Sister?" Lusha pointed to the front door, "there are two people lying there." ”

Hearing this, Lucina immediately looked at the ground in front of the gate: two guards were lying in pools of blood, motionless.

Squatting beside the two, Lucina scrutinized their wounds and shook her head.

"It's hopeless...... Aya regretfully helped them close their eyes and get up again.

"Sister, let's ......" Lusha stopped talking.

"I know what you think. Lucina looked around worriedly: "I don't know which door they entered...... Or go straight up the stairs. ”

This invasion definitely didn't last long...... Could something have happened to the butler and the food delivery person?

In the blink of an eye, the figure of the man in the cloak appeared in front of the underground passage of the dragon god statue, and suddenly disappeared as he turned and walked down the stairs. Lusha wiped her eyes and approached the hole in the passage, both frightened and curious.

"This hole ......," Lusha looked at the hole at the base of the ice dragon statue, "so wide." Enough for three humans to get in and out side by side. ”

"I'll see. Lucina trotted over to Lusa and looked down, "Wow, really...... But how did this passage get opened?"

Lusha looked carefully at the stone floor and walls of the passageway, and shook her head, "I don't see a mechanism that can be wrenched. ”

"That's right. Lucina reached out and touched the stairs. His fingers were covered with dust, and after a few moments, he was purified by Aya's skin: "What a thick dust. ”

"Sister, I just saw the man in the cloak again. Lusa timidly tugged at the corner of Lucina's clothes: "He appeared in front of the entrance to the cave, then turned around and walked in......"

"Ouch, hey?" Lucina couldn't help but raise her voice, and Lusa hurriedly covered her sister's mouth.

"Woo, sorry, sorry. After taking away her sister's hand, Lucina was a little embarrassed: "Obviously, I proposed to speak quietly...... Aha. ”

"You say...... Lucina crouched down and looked down as hard as she could, "It's so dark down there, Lusa! ”

"Hmm. Lusha nodded, "I can see clearly...... The staircase is very long, and the passage is very deep underground. ”

"Woo, I've always envied Lusha's night vision. Lucina rubbed under her sister and raised her head to look directly into Lusa's blue pupils: "Aya's advantage...... Werewolf Daddy Geos's night vision ability has been inherited to you and has been made into an improved version that does not change the shape of his eyes. ”

"Wouldn't my sister too?" Lusa shivered again from the cold in the hall.

"But it's only in the form of a ghost warhorse......" Lucina shook her head in disappointment.

Feeling a little troubled, Lusha shrank back: "Sister, that cloaked man seems to want to guide us down...... Why don't we try to go down in a moment?"

Every time she encounters a dark place, Aya's sister is a little timid. In contrast, Lusa's courage grows exponentially - she feels that the dark place will shelter her.

"Don't ...... It looks so dangerous, so scary. Lucina was reluctant to go to the dark tunnel: "And it always feels weird...... You see, the cold air of the Corruptor is constantly rising from the tunnels. ”

"Woo......" Through the gloves, Lusa stroked the pistol: "Sister, I didn't plan to go down now." Shall we help? There have been a lot of footsteps of the Corruptor just now......"

"Oh, it's my sister. Lucina came to her senses: "I was just thinking about it, but now you are the first to do it - after helping them defend the Cold Snow Castle, maybe they can earn some more travel expenses!"

"Not really, okay?" Lusha felt a little embarrassed.

"What's wrong?" Lucina stood up and confidently patted her sister on the shoulder, "And they must have paid the bill voluntarily." ”

However, just as Lusha turned around to propose a direct trip to the top floor of the castle, a cold, stiff hand grabbed her ankle and pulled her to the ground.

The perception of pain five times that of ordinary people caused Lusa to feel terrible pain, but just as she looked up to call for help, she was horrified to find that Lucina was also pulled to the ground by her other hand.

Stunned, he looked back a little through the hood: they were two pale severed hands crawling on the ground. The signs of corruption are striking.

"Whoa, what's that?" the older sister, who tried to get up after exclaiming, was thrown to the ground again.

Before Lusha could say anything, a powerful pull came from her ankle. Together, the two sisters were quickly pulled into the underpass.

The body and the stairs continued to collide, and Lusha, who was tightly guarding her head, felt a sharp pain signal from the impact area all over her body.

After the last heavy impact, Lusha fell to the bottom of the stairs and was overwhelmed by the intense pain. My sister was lying next to her, gasping for breath from the pain.

With tears in her eyes, Lusa struggled to get up, feeling the restraint on her ankles disappear.

The two severed hands had loosened their grip on their ankles and were now lying quietly at the feet of the two Ayas. Enduring the sharp pain in her joints, Lusha picked up the steam pistol that had fallen beside her with her trembling right hand and held it tightly.

Looking at her hands, which were wrapped in thin Snow Eagle gloves, Lusha pointed her pistol at the severed hand next to her feet, trying to touch it with her fingertips.

However, before she could make contact, Lusha withdrew her hand in fear: the two severed hands began to emit black smoke silently, which quickly condensed into black-blue crystals. "Sister?" Lusa turned around eagerly, a sharp pain in her shoulder.

"It hurts...... My sister hit her head. Lucina, who curled up, cried, "What's the matter, Lusa?"

"Look. Lusha hesitated for a moment and picked up a piece of crystal: "Those two severed hands became this...... It's the same as the one attached to the Corruptor's heavy sword. ”

"Hey? Really. Lucina, who staggered to her feet, looked at the dark passage and shivered: "It's not only dark but it's cold here...... Let's go out first, Lusa, I don't even dare look inside......

Nodding, Lusha stood up and followed her sister up the stairs.

At this moment, a creaking sound of gears running came faintly from the four walls. My sister stopped, "Now, Lusa." Did you hear anything?"

Looking around, Lutha saw to her horror that the light was dimming - the exit had been sealed off by the stone slab the moment the voice landed, and the space above her head was shrinking.

The base of the dragon god statue has fallen back into the ground.
