Chapter 205: The Failed Appearance
The Moses Consortium, the Underground Research Facility, the Caverns of the Bottom, Theophalan, the Cursed, the Dark Ones.
Ella felt that if she could escape this time, the contents of the "Imperial Capital Incredible Daily" would be settled for the next few months. But as soon as she saw the dense crowd of figures in front of her, she felt a little worried, the scene in front of her was not safe and sound, these humanoids from nowhere were looking at everything they saw with hungry eyes.
This is Tyrfaran.
Tyrfaran did not perish, but endured in a twisted and silent way, and the Henrys would have had known that their former enemies were living at their feet.
"Prepare for battle—"
Just when everyone and the monsters thought a great battle was inevitable, Euler lit a bonfire.
In an instant, the dense crowd of Theophalans scattered, leaving behind an embarrassed Ella and the monsters.
"Perhaps...... Are they afraid of flames?" Jennifer speculated, staring at the campfire on the ground.
To keep his wounded companion warm, Euler gathered all the torches and piled them together. Carrying flint and steel when traveling is a basic common knowledge for adventurers, and if you don't want to be eroded by the cold of the north, a simple campfire is essential - an unintentional move by the adventurer Euler instantly reversed the occupation, and her contribution was worthy of even the monsters.
It is not uncommon for creatures living in darkness to be afraid of light and fire, but it is a little more bizarre for humans to appear, and she had read some famous theories in school that showed that humans also mutate with the environment, and some say that humans in the Akalando period were different from the Horutians.
But it would take at least centuries to reach the level of mutation.
This means that what Ella said earlier is not a myth, and it is likely that there was a war between the Henry and Theophalan, who have been living underground in the North since their expulsion...... But when you think about it, it's even more incredible.
The Theopharans built a kingdom beneath the North without Henry's knowledge?
"Anyway, it's good news. Euler scratched his head modestly: "This will buy us time to find a way out...... What's wrong?"
Before she could finish speaking, she saw a wary gaze from a monster at her.
"Well, most of the monsters don't like fire, either. That's when Jennifer came up with the basics of monsters.
Among the many monsters that don't like fire, Jörmungård's performance is particularly intense.
It's not that it's afraid of flames, it's that the flames that burn always remind it of a nasty guy who often bullies it.
Phoenix!
It spat hostilely into the campfire.
"Overcome the restlessness in your hearts, this is our only chance to escape. The lion monster stepped forward and said loudly to the many monsters.
Seeing that the monsters gradually calmed down, the lion monster set his eyes on the depths of darkness.
No one knew exactly where the path led, but it was only the beginning, and it could see the hunger in the eyes of the humanoids, a restlessness that matched the animality of the monsters, a hunger that even an iron will could not resist. So it dares to assert that those guys will make a comeback.
The battle is about to ......
"Ouch!"
The sudden muffled sound frightened the lion monster and almost bit its tongue. As the leader of many monsters, he felt that this was the time when he had to come out and say something to boost his morale - something he had learned from humans, and when morale was high, monsters were often able to exert far more power than before.
But before it could speak, something fell from it.
- Melia!
Could it be that the terrible woman still chased after her?
"Isn't there something wrong with your brain! Didn't you hear the old man say that there's something terrible hidden down here?"
The gentle light illuminated the surroundings, but the tone and gentle edge of the light source could not be beaten, and as soon as she landed, she changed back into human form, and pointed at a young man sitting on the ground with a menacing attitude.
I'm so angry with her!
The bird monster could still be smashed to pieces in the next cave, and she felt that she was about to become a disgrace to the bird monster. And the culprit of all this is sitting in front of her at this moment.
"You're in your head, right? My plan was flawless, don't you understand what 'careful' means? I overestimate your ability to fly!"
"My flying ability is flawless, it's all because you're too heavy!" Phoenix rubbed his butt and blamed him as if no one was around.
They followed Melia all the way here, and hid in the shadows until Melia escorted the researcher who called herself Addick away, and only after Lin Qiu's mention did she agree to check the situation under the pit. She was slowly falling down according to the plan, but Lin Qiu, who stayed next to the pit, asked her about the situation below every three seconds, and she was impatient with the question, so she blocked Lin Qiu's voice.
However, just when Phoenix thought that Lin Qiu had finally stopped, the latter jumped straight down from the hole! If he just jumped down, he also grabbed her ankle during the fall! She also maintained the form of a fledgling, where could she support Lin Qiu's weight, so one person and one bird fell straight down.
"You're a Templar, aren't you?
"This is not at all what I thought!" Lin Qiu rubbed his waist.
Ideally, he catches Phoenix as he falls, and Phoenix lands smoothly with him, working together to pull off a shiny debut - he sees a campfire lit by Ora as he looks down and makes sure someone is underneath before jumping down.
"You ...... Are you alright?" asked the lion monster cautiously.
It felt the coercion of Phoenix, which only ancient monsters had, and the human who fell with her was also amazingly powerful. Even though it didn't quite understand how the pair, who could kill all the way in any situation, fell to the ground, it tried to make its tone as friendly as it could, so as not to anger the other party......
Because these two uninvited guests seem to be angry enough now.
"Shut up!"
"It's noisy!"
Lin Qiu and Phoenix had a sharp heart to murder the lion monster.
Phoenix understood the language of the lion monster, but Lin Qiu simply felt that the lion's low roar was too noisy.
Jörmungad finally confirmed that it was Lin Qiu who fell, and it slid excitedly in front of Lin Qiu, rubbing its head against Lin Qiu's side face affectionately.
It felt that Lin Qiu's attention was finally focused on itself, and happily wrapped its body around Lin Qiu - this was the way snake monsters showed their friendliness, but it was also usually one of the ways they hunted.
Lin Qiu stared at it for a long time......
- "Who are you?"
