Chapter 37: The Hero - Leah Maylis (I)

In the dark underground corridor of Valsas, Maylis and her party, who had escaped from prison, were doing simple repairs on the tenth floor.

Maylis was the most physically exerted of the four, but they soon discovered something more serious.

There was no food left on them, and even for drinking water, there were only two water bladders that they got from the guards on the eleventh floor, and the water of the two water bladders together was not enough for a pot, which obviously could not be used as the weight of four people.

Carlin, Kanan, and Bron quickly agreed, food and water, and prioritized Maylis' supplies, not only because she was the only woman here, but also because Maylis was their hope of survival.

After passing through the ice bridge, they did not see the junction of the tenth and ninth floors, and the pitch-black corridor continued to stretch ahead.

"We'll have to find a way to get some supplies. Maylis gently took a sip of the water in the water bladder: "There should be prisoners on the ninth floor, isn't it good for us to run over like this?"

"What would they do if they saw it? There was nothing we could do to save them unless we knocked down the guards with the keys. Bronn said helplessly: "We still have to avoid superfluous battles as much as possible, and we can't take care of ......"

Before Bron's words were finished, all of them, including Maylis, had a faint halo on their armbands at the same time, and just like Maylis before, the pain in their hearts instantly spread from their arms to their whole bodies.

If it's just a simple pain, it's not enough to be afraid, as long as the willpower is strong enough, you can still get through, but this time it's not a simple severe pain, when the pain just subsided, it turned into a strange itch again, like thousands of ants crawling over your body, but scratching with your hands has no effect.

This is the greatest physical torture, even Maylis can't help but moan on one knee, and the green veins on her forehead suddenly appear, while Karin and Kanan, who have a slightly weaker willpower, are even rolling back and forth on the cold ground

The pain and itching alternated back and forth, and the light on the arm ring finally dissipated, and their bodies regained their normal senses.

Bronn was panting with his hands on the ground, he would rather walk a dozen more rounds on the ice bridge than experience it again.

Carlin and Kanan, their bodies were as if they had just been fished out of the water, in the low temperature of the Walthas underground, suddenly sweating so much, the sweat would have cooled down so quickly, if it weren't for the fact that their chests were still twitching like bellows, Maylis would have thought that they had turned into two corpses.

"Is this the curse of Valthas? the damn armband!" Bronn couldn't help but slam his arm against the wall twice, but the collision, let alone the shattering, didn't even leave an imprint on the armband.

"Don't bother, a blade with a fighting spirit can't break the armband, even if you smash this wall, the armband will still be worn on your arm. Maylis's face was pale, and her body, which had just returned to normal, instinctively trembled a few times, and if such a curse was maintained, even the strongest person would collapse because of it.

Karin and Kanan struggled to their feet from the ground, their faces frighteningly white, for they had never suffered such a crime since they had become princes and nobles.

"We've got to get on. Maylis sighed lightly, "I know you're not in good shape, but staying here, who knows if that curse will happen again." ”

Carlin nodded bitterly, he couldn't even speak at this point.

Feeling the heavy breathing of the three people behind her, Maylis's heart was a little confused.

If when she first escaped from prison, her heart was still full of hope, then now, this hope is like a candle in the wind, the light is swallowed up little by little by the darkness of Walthas's despair, past the tenth floor, there are still nine levels waiting for them above, and what is more, the curse on them.

By the time they entered Walthas, they had become cursed!

This curse will accompany them for the rest of their lives, until death, even if they leave Valthas, and this curse will be worn on them along with the armband. Outside of the Walthus prison, or in the inaccessible White Ridge Mountains, how do they survive in the White Ridge Mountains?

Maylis's eyes gradually became a little confused, although she still kept moving forward, but it seemed to have become a mechanical movement-

"Be careful, sir!"

Bron's roar rang out behind Maylis, and Maylis's body shook violently, and not far in front of her, the pitch-black stone bricks suddenly turned upwards, and with a crisp sound, a black crossbow bolt shot straight out of the mechanism.

Maylis realizes that this is a trap set up within Valthas, and that this is not only the prison, but also the prison in Wishal, in order to prevent prisoners from escaping. But by the time her attention refocused, it was too late for her body to react.

A broad, thick chest threw Maylis to the side, the sound of the arrows of the crossbow bolts piercing the skin and musculature was clearly audible, and Maylis even felt a warm liquid flowing onto her arm.

Of course, this blood is not hers.

"Ahh

Bronn couldn't help but snort coldly, sat down with his back against the wall, and reacted in time to save Maylis's life with a side save. However, the bolt was fired too fast, and Bron's right arm was shot directly by the bolt.

Maylis's heart twitched violently, and she wanted to slap herself immediately as she looked at the arrow stuck upside down in Bron's arm.

The crossbow arrows fired by this mechanism are very powerful, and Bron's muscles can be considered very strong, but the crossbow arrows are almost completely submerged, leaving only a small section on the outside of the arm, even if Maylis wants to pull it out with her hands.

"My lord, were you tired just now?" Bron gritted his teeth, squeezing a few words out between his teeth.

"I'm sorry, Bron, I'm sorry. Maylis suddenly untied the saber from her waist: "I have to dig out the arrow, or you'll lose a lot of blood." ”

Bronn nodded, it was definitely painful, but it was better than the arrow staying in his body.

"Grand Duke Carlin, Mr. Kanan, please prepare some strips of cloth, I will bandage them later. Maylis suddenly knelt down on one knee and bowed to the two of them, "We don't have much time, I hope you can help me." ”

"No problem. Carlin agreed, and immediately grabbed the cuffs of his prison uniform, bit it with his teeth, pulled it hard, and tore it with a sound, and half of his arm was instantly exposed.

"Bron, I owe you my life. Maylis said in a deep voice: "You hold on, I'm going to do it!"
