Chapter Seventy-Three: Little Thieves and Ghouls
It is said that when the dungeon was first discovered, how to enter the inner city was the biggest problem facing the first adventurers. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Faced with a wall of more than 200 meters and almost no gaps, most people felt deep despair, and some teams circled around the wall, only to be surprised to find that there was no place similar to the city gate on it.
How is this possible? Didn't the guys who built this place think about how they were going to get out?!
However, the fact is so bizarre, the whole city wall is so integrated, and there is not even a place that can be counted as a mouth, this discovery makes everyone crazy.
However, a guy with a little engineering knowledge among the adventurers pointed out that generally such a large city will have a corresponding sewage treatment system underground, since the above-ground part cannot find a way to enter, can you try to change your thinking?
His proposal was supported by many people at the time, and finally with the concerted efforts of everyone, he really found a sewage outlet.
Through this outlet, the first adventurers managed to enter the inner city, but of course, the process in the middle was not easy.
Although it is a sewage outlet, it is not unguarded, there are still a lot of traps and traps in it, obviously the guy who designed this dungeon has not completely given up on the vigilance here, but in any case, this choice is more reliable than climbing the cliff directly, and in the end, relying on the joint efforts of multiple expedition teams to successfully clear a route into the inner city.
Rob and the others were now standing in front of a sewage outlet.
"There are four main tunnels like this, and in addition to the one that was first discovered, three more have been discovered one after another, basically leading to four different directions. Hansen explained, "The mechanism inside has been almost destroyed by the previous adventurers, and there is no danger in removing the remaining ones that cannot be dismantled as long as you pay a little attention, but you should be careful of some magical beasts." ”
"Warcraft, are there still Warcrafts living in the sewage pipes?"
"Well, there wasn't before, but then all the creatures in this city disappeared, and these sewage pipes were naturally abandoned, you must know that the sewage system of large cities is a very complex network, in addition to the four main pipelines, there are many branch pipes connecting each household, in short, this is like an underground labyrinth, like human-faced spiders, vampire bats and ghouls and other monsters that like dark environments Many of them have made their homes here, so everyone must follow the people in front of them later. ”
Hansen raised his torch and walked first into the swarthy cave with the old thief Edward. Others followed.
Although it is a sewage pipe, after all, tens of thousands of years have passed, and there is no too pungent smell, of course, it is certainly not as fragrant as the birds and flowers outside, but it is still within the acceptable range, that is, there are often mice around to pass by, these fluffy and dirty little things are the main guests here, and they are also the main food on the recipe of monsters such as human-faced spiders and vampire bats.
Hansen didn't say much, the sewage system in this dungeon was very complicated, in addition to the main pipe they had just entered, there were many sub-pipes, and one or two forks could be seen almost every three or four steps, but Edward had a broken sewage pipe diagram in his hand.
It was bought by the old thief at the camp for ten silver coins, drawn by previous adventurers, and although the vast majority of the parts were blank, there were detailed markings for several routes into the inner city.
It's well worth the money, and without this map, you'd have to run around like a fly with no head, trying your luck to find an exit, which is certainly not an easy task.
The expedition team walked for about half an hour in the dark and cold sewage pipes, when Hansen, the leader, suddenly made a gesture of silence.
He had just stepped on a puddle of slimy stuff under his feet, like ghoul vomit.
Judging by the viscosity, it should be relatively fresh, which means that there are likely ghouls roaming around the area.
Ghouls are a kind of monster that is a headache, in terms of strength, a single ghoul is a little worse than a human-faced spider, but they are the same group of two-headed wolves that the team encountered in the Endless Sea of Trees, they are all social creatures, and if you are unlucky, you will encounter a large colony of more than dozens of ghouls gathered together, which is enough to be a nightmare for any expedition team.
And this time, someone suffered.
"Help!anyone, help me!" A figure stumbled towards him in the distance, a thin young man, dressed as a thief, and not far behind him, followed by two ghouls.
It was the first time Luo Luo had seen this legendary scavenging creature, their body size was about the same size as a hound, but they looked much uglier, there was not a single hair on their bodies, their skin was close to the skeleton, there seemed to be no flesh underneath, their dark red eyes were almost bulging out of their sockets, and the most peculiar place was their gills, where there was no skin covering, and their teeth were directly exposed to the air, how terrifying and terrifying this look was.
The guy who ran away saw Rob and the others at this time, and his face suddenly showed a touch of joy, just like a person who fell into the water suddenly saw a small boat and ran over.
But the two ghouls, apparently not fuel-efficient lamps, had already caught up with the man, and one of them leapt to his feet and bit the young thief's calf, but fortunately the latter nimbly dodged it.
But after a moment's delay, another ghoul also jumped, and this time the young thief was exhausted and could not avoid it, and in the face of the ghoul's sharp teeth, his face could not help but be filled with deep despair.
At this critical moment of life and death, an arrow plunged into the ghoul's eye socket.
Elven archer Baker finally couldn't help but make a move!
The arrow didn't kill the ghoul, but it flew some distance and bought the young thief precious time to escape, and the lucky guy ran over.
Immediately after Hansen and Edward also made a move, it was really easy for a second-order professional to put a ghoul one-on-one, Hansen only used three swords to split the ghoul with the eyeball shot in half, and then he and Edward teamed up to kill the other ghoul.
