Chapter 44: The Ruins of Kryma (5)

A shadowy underworld.

Quietly, not even the sound of the wind.

On either side are towering stone walls, and below is an abyss that cannot be seen.

Andrew led Turu down the suspended corridor, holding the hyacinth and looking down into the abyss below as he walked.

"Did you bring more hyacinths?"

"Yes. Tulu hurriedly took out a large handful from his satchel.

"Order one and drop it. Andrew whispered.

Tulu hurriedly pulled one open, and then blew hard. Soon, the hyacinth ignited. He held out his hand, then stepped away.

Hyacinth slowly fell.

Andrew stood in the hallway and watched quietly.

Hyacinth fell all the way. As it fell, it lit up the surroundings with the faint light of the fire.

However, there are only hard stone walls. Andrew saw nothing but the stone walls. The point is, until the hyacinth completely disappeared into the darkness, he didn't see the hyacinth fall to the ground.

This means that this place is at least two hundred meters deep. At least, maybe deeper.

Taking a slow breath, Andrew turned his head and continued to walk forward: "It seems that you still can't jump directly." ”

"Does the master want to go down?" Turu followed Andrew closely.

"It stands to reason that the important things should be below. But if it's so deep, it's risky for us to go straight down. You might not know what you'll encounter along the way. Let's take it slowly. ”

After a while, they walked down the hallway, into a stone door, and on a staircase. Follow the steps and start descending step by step.

Faintly, Tulu seemed to hear something, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Andrew also heard it and stopped.

"Master...... There is a sound. ”

"Shhh Andrew's eyes widened slowly.

That's an irregular "...... "Boom, muffled. Due to the confined space and the isolation of the walls, Andrew couldn't even tell from which direction it was coming from. But he could feel the voices approaching little by little.

Yes, something is approaching itself, and it will undoubtedly be something dangerous.

If it were you, what would you do?

I don't know about this.

But I know what Andrew is thinking at this moment.

If he stands still, then he is likely to encounter that dangerous "thing". Then that's a big problem.

If you go down or up...... Then there are two possibilities, one is that they encounter that dangerous "thing" more quickly and head-on. Another possibility is that they are getting farther and farther away from that dangerous "thing" and have successfully avoided it.

In this electric space, Andrew decisively chose to believe in his luck, took a step, and began to sprint down the stairs. They're going to go down anyway, aren't they?

As he sprinted, he began to perceiving whether the sound was getting louder or quieter.

"Oh no! It's getting bigger!"

This shows that the dangerous "thing" is coming up from the bottom up, and it is closer!

Andrew hurriedly stopped, ready to turn around and rush up.

At this moment, two bats appeared in front of him up the circular staircase.

"Andrew?!"

"Jones!"

Okay, in an instant they recognized each other and started running up together for their lives. Behind him were a large number of Eyefier's tentacles.

In the panic, Andrew also blessed himself and Tulu with the Wind Blast.

"Why are you here? Didn't you promise me to leave immediately?"

"Can't I lie to you?"

"You actually lied to me?"

"Is it strange that I lied to you? Those tentacles are chasing you, and you don't want to die with me, do you? Get out of here!"

"Okay. Jones and Dora quickly dodged to the side, flying out of the stairs through a hole.

Soon, the tentacles passed through the hole, but directly "passed by" and chased Andrew.

I'm sorry, but how can the tentacles of the Eye Demon have any reason to chase whom?

Which is faster Andrew or Jones who turned into a bat?

"Help me! Don't go! Come back and save me! I'm familiar here! We can work together!" Andrew roared as he ran.

"Why are you familiar with this place?" Suddenly, Jones and Dora, the two little bats, came out of nowhere and returned to Andrew.

"Don't worry about it, I'm familiar anyway!Hurry up and save me!," Andrew screamed as he ran.

Jones stretched out a calf towards Andrew, who grabbed it immediately. Leaning on Jones, Andrew flew straight up.

Dora also quietly fell behind, and then directly dragged the sturdy Turu with her two bat legs and flew up.

Yes, that's it, two bats dragged a blood elf and an orc and began to flee.

Bumping and bumping, the group walked back and forth through the labyrinth-like underground world.

......

It took about ten minutes of tossing and turning, and Jones and Dora were exhausted and out of breath before they finally escaped from the pursuit of the Eye Demon. Landed on an altar-like platform.

Showing their human form, Jones and Dora were exhausted and sat down on the ground. Andrew and Turu were no better, their faces were blue and purple. This is all the result of accidental bumps and bumps along the way. You can't ask two little bats to run away with such a big one, and you have to pay attention to the route, don't you?

Before Andrew could catch his breath, Jones had already stood up, walked up to Andrew step by step, and dragged him off the ground: "Okay, you can tell me why you are familiar with this place." And how familiar you are with this place. ”

Tulu watched with wide eyes and wariness.

Andrew laughed "hehe", with a hippie smile: "Don't worry, we'll tell you right away." ”

As he spoke, Andrew broke Jones's hand by the collar little by little, stood up, and leisurely patted the dust on his body, and then suddenly his face changed, and he jumped back to distance himself from Jones, and put on a spell-casting posture.

Tulu also hurriedly stood up and retreated to his master's side.

Dora watched the two warily.

Looking at Andrew quietly, Jones asked indifferently, "What do you want to do?"

"What do you want to do? hehehehe, who gave you the courage to be so arrogant?" Andrew grinned, "The lichs aren't with you now." Can you beat me?"

"So what?" Jones still looked at Andrew indifferently, "Are you going to fight me here? ”

"But you also bring danger, don't you?" Andrew said with wide eyes and gritted teeth, "Let's get things clear." ”

"What do you want to talk about?" Jones asked.

When asked like this, Andrew seemed to be stunned for a moment. Something seemed to come to mind: "Well, it's true that it's not clear." There's no way to talk about it. I'm strong in the ruins, and you'll listen to me. But once you go outside, you're strong. When the time comes, any agreement can be torn up. It really doesn't make much sense to talk about it. ”

Jones looked at Andrew quietly.

"So be it. Andrew continued, "If I'm not mistaken, you're in danger of being separated from the lich you brought in. There are dangers everywhere here. It's also hard for you to get out. But I can take you out, with complete certainty. In return, everything I will find in this ruin. Everything, everything we can take with us. ”

"You've broken your promise at the beginning. For people who don't have credibility, I won't talk about credibility. Jones said coldly, "Even if I promise now that everything I find here belongs to you, I can have someone snatch it back after I leave." ”

"That was after that. Andrew laughed and said, "Our deal is just until we get out of here." After that, it's your business that you want people to snatch it back. How to hide it and not let you snatch it away, that's my business. After all, the agreements I have made with you now may be nullified after you leave. But, here you still need me, I also need you, we can cooperate a little. ”

"Really? How can you be sure that you won't set a trap to kill me before you leave? If I die here, then no one will come after you to claim what you took from here. ”

"No, it won't. I don't want to offend the Holy Light of the Dead Bones. ”

"If it is not offensive to enter the ruins by breaking your promise and forcibly negotiating an agreement that is in your own interest while you are strong, then you are indeed not offended to death. ”

All of a sudden, the atmosphere was a little stiff.

Sweat was pouring down Andrew's forehead, and Jones's forehead was also covered in sweat.

This is the truth, the question of committing one sin versus committing an infinite number of sins.

Obviously, just by taking away what was found in the ruins, the White Bone Holy Light Holy See would not have killed Andrew. But if Jones is killed here, the White Bone Holy Light Holy See will definitely chase Andrew for his life.

However, with the courage to negotiate such an agreement, Andrew, as an outlaw, definitely never thought that he would be taken down by the White Bone Holy Light Holy See. What's the difference between committing a lesser sin and committing a felony, and besides, if Jones gets out alive, Serpent must know that something is in Andrew's hands. And not necessarily if Jones hadn't made it out alive. Even the White Bone Holy Light Holy See would not be able to enter this ruin to conduct a large-scale investigation in the short term. And time, for Andrew, is of the utmost importance.

Jones looked at Andrew quietly.

Andrew was also quietly watching Jones, and the two sides were at a stalemate.

"Master Jones, don't believe him. We just need to stay here for a few days. After a few days, Adair will surely realize that something is wrong. Someone will come to our rescue. Dora whispered.

"Master, they just need us, we don't need them. Tulu whispered.

"No, we need him too. Andrew whispered, "It's too dangerous here, they have a speed advantage when they turn into bats." At least it's quicker to escape. ”

"We don't know how many days it will take for Adair to realize the problem, and how many days it will take for them to get in. If it's too long, and there's no fresh blood here, we'll all go berserk. If you go crazy here, you're basically dead. Jones replied quietly.

Jones and Andrew looked at each other.

It took a moment for Jones to take a step forward.

Andrew raised his spell-casting hand vigilantly.

Jones took another step.

The two sides looked at each other silently.

Jones stepped forward step by step, until he was close to Andrew, and stretched out a hand: "Let's forget about each other's unpleasantness for a while." Cooperation, at least for the time being, is beneficial to us. As for when the alliance will break, it depends on when we want to tear it up. How?"

"Very sensible idea. Andrew slowly stretched out a hand and shook it briefly with Jones: "Before we really want to tear up the alliance, I suggest that we both pay a little attention to our words and actions, so as not to misunderstand each other, and then let the alliance collapse when it shouldn't be." ”

"I agree. Jones smiled and asked softly, "Where should we go now?"

"That's it. After a pause, Andrew said: "I don't have a lot of information, but I know that the most important thing is definitely in the very core. ”

"Is the heart of the mana the source of the mana?"

"Hmm...... Looks like the lich has sensed it for you. Don't worry, even though the lich isn't with you, I can still sense it. As long as we try not to get close to the Grave Keeper, we'll be fine. With that, Andrew took the fire hyacinth from Turu's hand and began to walk towards the side corridor.

One by one, the others hurriedly followed.

"That eyeball monster is called a grave keeper?"

"No, it's just that they're used to 'guard the tomb', and they're space monsters, so they're called tomb keepers. That's not their name. ”

"You said we should try not to get as close as possible to the Tomb Keeper, but I know that the heart of the area you are talking about has a huge source of mana. ”

"Not all sources of mana are grave keepers, some are something else. Of course, a very small source of mana is basically a Tomb Keeper. ”

"How do you know that?"

"Books. There are a large number of books in the Blood Elves' Divine Wood Library, and although the records are not detailed, some things can still be seen. ”

After chatting without a word, the group walked over the fence and began to walk little by little down a new circular staircase that they had just found.

"So, what exactly was this ruin used for? It's not really a tomb, is it? It's huge, with a lot of rooms, and it looks a bit like an underground city, but it doesn't seem to be. ”

Glancing at Jones lightly, Andrew continued to walk forward and whispered, "Here, it should be a shelter." In the time of Krimatha, wars between humans and various races, and even wars between gods and demons, were very frequent. They needed many of these large fortresses, and if necessary, they even needed to move everyone here. Isn't a shelter that can hold an entire city an underground city?"

Set a small goal first, such as remembering in 1 second: book guest residence
