Chapter 55: The Passage
Someone came in the hallway, Rex stepped back and instructed the others to hide, and the four of them hid behind the fabric couch.
There was a grinding sound of "Kekeke" in the corner, the door activated, and the male voice continued: "Damn, there's a big hole burning here, what are you stupid pigs doing, don't you see?"
The hall was quiet, and the footsteps of the visitor walked towards the card room from the corner of the wall, and suddenly his steps quickened, and he walked towards the door, he must have seen Doge lying at the door, "Doge, what's wrong." ”
A slender man appeared in Tarrant's field of vision, he ran to the door, picked up the man lying on the ground, there was a stern bruise mark on Dog's forehead, obviously fainted by a blunt object, the person who came realized what was happening here, he drew the dagger from his waist.
Rex had already stood up and walked towards the man, the mace was raised high, and when he smashed it hard, the person rolled forward to dodge the attack, he turned around, looked at the four strange people in the room, and said coldly, "Who sent you?"
"You're in charge here?" Rex moved his wrist and was able to dodge the sneak attack with agility, proving that the other party and the thieves upstairs were not of the same level.
"Yes...... The Knights of the Storm", through the faint light of the opposite building, the visitor could see the sign on Rex's chest, "A little Knights dare to offend us, you have made the biggest mistake of your life!"
"Let me correct your wrong souls", Rex palmed his palms and began to chant spells, four against one, he was not worried that the thieves might interfere with his spell casting.
At this point, Tarrant could only draw his sword, and he strode towards the thief.
The thief kicked his body on the ground towards Tarrant, while holding the dagger in his right hand to protect himself, and with his left hand, he pulled out a steel arrow from his bosom and shot it at Rex, still maintaining a clear fighting mind in the face of extreme disadvantages.
The steel arrow flew out quickly, and the greatsword of Tarrant swung straight into Rex's left wrist, the arrow pierced into the armor, Rex frowned and continued to chant, the caster who has practiced the gods can continue to chant the spell under the interference of the outside world, and a green energy ball is about to converge and form.
After failing to block the Tarrant greatsword, he slashed at the thief, who blocked the edge with his dagger and pulled out a steel arrow in his left hand again.
The green energy ball bounced on the thief, and his expression was suddenly very dazed, and he didn't shoot the steel arrow, and said to himself: "What's the matter, why are you here." ”
When the spell of confusion works, the recipient's mind is greatly influenced by the caster, and the response to the environment becomes very dull and numb, and the success of the spell is determined by the recipient's own volitional resistance.
Katrina stopped chanting, she had already condensed a rocket at her fingertips, "Done?"
Tarrant walked up to the thief, "Where does the passage down there?"
The thief looked at Tarrant and then at the three people behind him blankly, he raised his left hand, "Why am I holding this?" He dropped the steel arrow, and his left hand reached into his arms at a loss.
"Answer me, where does the passage lead!"
The thief's eyes suddenly flashed a glimmer of brilliance, and the dagger stabbed Tarrant in the chest without warning, Tarrant was stabbed to the ground, and the thief took out three steel arrows in his left hand and shot them all at Katrina, a series of counterattacks were completed in an instant, and he flashed into the card room.
Katrina was defenseless, a sharp pain in her chest, and fell backwards, the feathered angel on the side supported her, Katrina covered her chest, the robe was not broken, and the steel arrow fell to the ground, although it did not pierce the robe, but the impact made her extremely painful, as if piercing.
"Damn, he's pretending to be affected", Rex rushed to the card room despite the bloody wound on his wrist, there were only three people lying on the ground inside, and there was no sign of the thief, not good, Rex ran out of the card room, "He sneaked, be careful!"
Tarrant got up to check the breastplate, the dagger stabbed a shallow pit in it, but it didn't break, he looked up and saw a blurry figure behind Rex, the thief was about to backstab, Tarrant pointed at him and shouted, "You are behind!"
Before Rex could turn around, a sharp object had pierced into his back, as delicate as a needle, and Rex leaned against the wall, and the mallet in his right hand was still trying to swing out, but his back was empty, and the thief had already succeeded and left.
Rex slowly slipped against the wall, feeling the cooler and cooler behind his back, blood dripping through the cracks in his armor. Tarrant ran to his side and pulled out the bandage from the Spirit Pattern Bag, "Hold on!"
Rex grabbed Tarrant's arm, "Subdue him first, I'll be fine." ”
Tarrant shouted at the mage, "Fairy Track!"
Katrina clutched her chest and said, "I don't remember this." ”
At the critical moment, there was no memory of the spell to deal with the thief, and Tarrant could only use the emblem energy, and he reached for the spirit pattern bag.
The Feathered Angel retrieved a dagger from Dog lying on the ground and walked towards the card room, "I'll deal with him." ”
Tarrant pulled out his badge, and before he could activate the energy adventurer's instincts had told him about the anomaly behind him, he flipped over his side, and a dagger flew over his head, which was thrown by the feathered angel.
The dagger stabbed a figure, the thief slammed back against the door of the cardichamber, he was stabbed in the left chest, he pulled out the dagger and pressed the wound with his hand, and looked at the four people coldly, blood immediately oozing from his fingertips.
Tarrant's greatsword had a target, and he swung it vigorously to suppress the dagger, and he wanted to keep this mouth alive, so he did not attack his vital point, and in the state of blood loss, the thief would immediately be exhausted.
A rocket flew behind Tarrant and landed on the thief's right abdomen, the flames devouring the leather armor on his right abdomen, and the thief's dagger was swept away by the greatsword as it parried again, and he fell to his knees.
The Feathered Angel took the bandage and treated Rex's wounds, and Tarrant pointed the tip of his sword at the thief and asked, "You are the person in charge here?" This thief has a tenacious will to resist, can quickly fight back in adversity, and narrowly wins with one enemy and four enemies, Tarrant believes that this person has the ability to be the person in charge.
The thief curled up in a ball, clutching the wounds in his abdomen and chest in pain, and squeezed out between his teeth, "What are you going to do?"
"I ask you, when will Patrick arrive in Siant!"
"Hehe", the thief squeezed out two dry wry smiles, "want to deal with Patrick, you are Yastin's people?"
"It doesn't matter who we are, it's important that you pay for what you do. ”
"Ridiculous, since Astin did it first, then you all have to die!" he shouted through gritted teeth, the pain of the wound destroying his nerves, and finally, his consciousness was interrupted.
Rex's pain eased slightly, he got up and chanted a spell to his wound to treat Yan Zòng's injury, his whole body was drenched with sweat when he endured the severe pain, the backstab was numb, and the nervous system seemed to stop working, "Fawkes, your bandaging skills are very rusty", enduring the pain, he gave a comment to the person who treated him.
Feather Angel laughed, "I've never bandaged it, it's improvised." ”
Katrina walked in the door, her heart beating faster from the battle, she looked at the Feathered Angel and asked, "How do you know he's behind Tarrant?"
If it weren't for the dagger that the Feather Angel threw just now and stabbed the thief, the winner would still be indistinguishable, and the Feather Angel pointed to the headband and explained, "I can see what you can't see." ”
"Stalkers can see it too?" Tarrant retracted his greatsword.
"No, only energy can be seen, and his dagger is endowed with magical energy, so I can track his location. ”
The magical headband, so Lynn insisted on keeping this headband and was unwilling to return it to its owner, Tarrant picked up the thief's dagger, which was able to make a mark on the stone guard, a three-star weapon, and he decided to keep this weapon.
Rex examined the fainting thief and found nothing he wanted, "Still don't know when Patrick will come." ”
"We should go to his office", the feather angel pointed to the secret door, "since he is a person in charge, there must be a decent office, there is no upstairs, there is no here, it must be downstairs." ”
Tarrant looked at the three teammates, "Can you continue?" The three nodded, Rex said, "I'll cast a spell for you", he chanted the "Blessing" spell to his teammates, so that the recipient of the spell can be strengthened in the resistance of the will, and at the same time, the power of Tarrant has been increased, and the magic effect just now has faded.
The four-man I-type queue is lined up, with Tarrant leading the way through the secret door.
The underground passage is very narrow, only one person can pass guò, no wonder the spirit sucking monster will let the earth spirit re-"decorate" the falcon's stronghold, Tarrant activates the ability of the badge night vision, so that he can see the passage clearly, the ground is a layer of soil, all around are only traces of excavation, undecorated, very simple passage, about ten meters after walking a corner appeared, turned the corner, and a closed door appeared.
It was strange to see a door in the passage of the whole earth, which only meant that what they were looking for was behind the door, and Tarrant turned around and whispered: "There is a doorway here, get ready, Katrina, if you encounter an enemy, use your strongest spell." ”
"Well", Katrina walked in the second.
Tarrant grabbed the doorknob and gently pushed a crack open, and the candlelight shot a vertical light from inside, and there was a noisy grinding sound, which sounded like there were quite a few people.
The door was well insulated, so the sounds of the battle upstairs didn't come here, and Tarrant pulled out his greatsword and kicked open the wooden door.
A place that was wider than they imagined, the usual underground chamber was very simple, but this one was larger than the main part of the ground, about two hundred square meters, the walls were cleanly painted, there were many wooden doors in the center, a large number of locks and traps were spread out on the ground, and there were various cabinets and safes around the room, and about ten or so thieves were studying the door locks with thin iron rods, and they were startled by the sound of kicking the door, and looked at the door together.
An apprentice-level thief, Tarrant walked into the room.
The thieves understood their intentions by looking at the momentum and weapons of the comer, and they all stood up and drew their daggers.
A ball of flame came out of the passage and hit the wooden door in the center of the room with a bang, and the flames rolled and roared in all directions, and the dozens of thieves in the room were quickly engulfed by the flames, and were thrown to the corner of the wall by the impact in an instant.
Tarrant's left arm blocked his eyes, and his body was bounced back into the passage by the impact of the ball of flames, and he exhaled a puff of black smoke, "Katrina!"
"You made me use the strongest spell, and I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it. ”
"Mighty mage," Rex said at the end of the line.
"She's always been like this," the Feathered Angel fanned the black smoke in the passageway, "I'm used to this kind of cooperation. ”
Katrina crossed her hands on her chest, "Shut up. ”
The black smoke gradually cleared, the room was in shambles, the candles were extinguished, and it could be vaguely seen by the light of the sparkling fires that most of the wooden doors that had been in the center of the room had been blown away, and only half of them were left in place, now covered with black ash, and the thieves had been buried by wood chips and metal debris.
Talrant covered his nose, "You're doing a good job, we've saved a lot of work," he pushed aside the rubbish at the door and stepped into the room.
"Look for the office door, this is a training room", Rex walked to the corner, the wall was now charred and blackened, and the door could not be seen clearly.
A door suddenly opened on the opposite side, and two dark shadows stood in the doorway.
