Chapter 82: The Mausoleum

Even a man like Stannis, who didn't know anything about horses, could see that the pedigree of these heavy horses was not comparable to that of the horses in his realm who read them as stupid donkeys.

As soon as he and the groom explained the purpose of his visit, the fat groom went into the stable enthusiastically to choose a good horse for him.

It was still some time before the horse was ready, and Stannis was wandering in boredom when he overheard two soldiers chatting.

"I heard that there was a big incident in Wangcheng a few days ago!" the first soldier said.

"I really don't know, what's wrong?" asked the other curiously.

"Of course it's a terrorist attack, an illusionist suddenly cast a spell in front of the Weeping Blood Cathedral, killing several royal guards, and His Royal Highness the Duke almost died. ”

"That's an exaggeration!"

Also, I heard that it was a woman who launched the terrorist attack, but she was disguised and ran away. ”

Stannis pouted, it seems that the world is still quite dangerous, even in the capital city is not safe at all, and you will have to do a safety assessment when you go out in the future.

"Your Excellency, your horse is well. The groom led him to a fine brown horse with a hairbrush.

The lord thanked him, mounted his horse, and rode eastward.

That was the direction of his territory and home.

After two hours of driving, Stannis felt as if he had lost his way.

Because after wandering around for a long time, he found that he seemed to be back to the place where he had just started, as if he was completely lost in this dark dense forest like the sea.

Returning from the Elasia barracks to the territory of Ziviny had to pass through the vast Black Forest, and for a man like Stannis, who was road blind in both reality and fantasy, he was now no different from a blind man groping around.

"Where am I?" he asked himself blankly, as the ancient towering trees around him swayed their decaying branches in response, staring at the intruder as if they were alive.

"It would be nice if there was a caravan that gave me a ride. Stannis stopped at the entrance to the Black Forest to wait for the passing caravan, but after waiting for a long time there was no one to be seen, and his heart was a little anxious, because the dark clouds in the sky began to coalesce, and then it could rain.

He decided not to wait, anyway, the corporal Vladdy told him that as long as he kept going east, he could return to his territory, and as long as there was a road on the ground, he would definitely be able to get out of this forest by following the road.

He kicked the horse in the belly with both feet, and the brown horse, which had sat down, began to walk slowly towards the dark forest again.

About an hour later.

Stannis was walking through the alfalfa with a homemade cane, and his leg limped, which he had broken from a fall from his horse.

Just now, a loud bang suddenly came from the sky or the earth, and it was as deafening as thunder on the ground. The horse under his crotch suddenly went crazy, and as if it smelled danger, it neighed and raised its front hooves to knock him down, and then ran away. Due to the suddenness of the incident, Stannis fell to the ground before he could react, feeling that his butt was about to split into several pieces.

He checked his body, and although his ankle hurt, he was thankfully not broken.

"Fuck, it's really unlucky to drink cold water and stuff your teeth!" Stannis finally couldn't help but burst into foul mouth, he didn't know what was going on with that horse, just don't be so scared if you thunder!

Now he can only walk on his swollen feet.

But for a long time, he didn't see any sign of being able to get out of this forest, and fear began to rise in the lord's heart.

You won't be completely lost in this forest and end up in a pile of white bones that no one knows!

Suddenly, he felt an unusual aura in his increasingly impatient heart, as if something was leading him forward in this endless forest.

In the darkness, there was a mysterious aura that resonated with his soul. Although he knew that the fate of curiosity in such a situation was often to hang up in vain, Stannis couldn't help but walk there, as if his limbs were not obeying his command.

At last, he came to something that attracted him—a hill rising from the ground.

It was a huge dirt slope that was out of step with its surroundings, and it jutted out of the grass to reveal a yellow earth, bare and without a touch of green, disgusting like a fat caterpillar.

Not only plants, but also insects, birds, and animals did not dare to stay next to it, as if life instinctively feared this hill.

Stannis circled it twice, and he felt that it was more like a mausoleum than a hill, where a secret that was best never known.

The mausoleum had only one small entrance, and could only be accessed by one person, and Stannis looked inside, in the bottomless darkness.

He thought about it for a while, considering whether to go in and explore, although he knew very well that according to the B-grade movie routine, he would definitely have no return if he went on like this, but the desire in his heart became stronger and stronger.

Just as his heart was in the midst of a battle between heaven and man, another loud bang came from underground, and the whole earth shook violently like an earthquake, and Stannis did not stand still, and fell into the cave at once.

He slid forward with his head on the ground, yes, sliding, because the aisle was not parallel but sloping downward, and there were no stairs but smooth planes. Along the way, Stannis didn't even have a place to catch it, so he kept the posture of a dog gnawing mud and slid all the way to the bottom of the mausoleum.

"Phew, bah, bah. Stannis kept spitting out the mud in his mouth, and at the same time, he quickly stood up and looked in all directions alertly.

There is darkness, there is no light, and it is like being in an underground world with no salvation.

He cautiously took a step ahead, and suddenly, the smell of blood in the air penetrated his nostrils, and the smell of blood was so dense that he almost vomited.

At least he was sure there were two things underneath the mausoleum.

Darkness and blood.

Together, these two things don't bode well.

It was definitely too late to flee now, and to the surprise, Stannis remained calm.

"Is there any light? Death will make me understand if you die!"

He shouted around, not knowing who he was talking to.

But as soon as his voice fell, one, two, three...... A series of lights lit up one after another, not very bright, but illuminating a small part of the cavern.

Stannis looked at the light source in amazement, it turned out that the mushrooms gathered together emitted light, and these mushrooms that grow in dark and humid areas will fluoresce as long as they feel the sound around them, so they are also called fluorescent mushrooms.

Stannis was about to praise the creature light bulbs when suddenly, he was shocked by the bloody images in front of him.

A pile of corpses appeared not far away, pillowing each other to form a Jingguan, and at the same time, fresh blood was crawling all over the ground.

The first time he saw such a horrific sight, he almost fainted with fright, but he bit his lip to keep his attention, and although it was disgusting, he slowly moved towards it.

As he got closer to the corpses, the smell of blood grew stronger, muddying his brain.

Only in the end he was surprised to find that these were not human corpses......

It's the carcass of sheep!

Dozens of sheep carcasses were lined up layer by layer like a pyramid, and the blood stained the white hair of the sheep red, which was shocking.

Although it was not a human corpse, Stannis still felt very cruel, could it be that someone hid in the ground and killed sheep for fun?

He looked a little and saw that the sheep had been bitten on their necks, apparently caused by an attack by a large carnivore.

Could it be a horrible race of cannibal alien minions hiding underneath, brutally hunting down these creatures to please the dark masters they serve?

A huge shadow crept up into his heart, and he felt that he was losing his mind little by little.

Just as Stannis was still immersed in the time to think, he didn't notice that the air currents around him began to flow in the opposite direction.

The air was sucked into two black holes the size of a drum, and in the darkness of its slumber, a huge body began to move slightly, whatever it was, it felt like someone had broken into its forbidden place.

Without warning, a terrifying yellow eye suddenly opened from the darkness of the world.

The nightmare of this world has finally awakened!

That eye alone was the height of an adult, the golden vertical eyes were mixed with blue bloodshots, the surface of the eye mask reflected the back of a human, and the eyelids on the left and right sides blinked quickly to lock onto the target.

That's Stannis!

But the human being did not know that he was about to come to the catastrophe, and he had not yet discovered this eyeball, and he was still groping with his hands unconsciously.

When he came to the mysterious creature, he felt that his hand touched something very hard, although the surface was covered with moss, but the rough and hard underneath was far from comparable to steel, and the touch felt like the skin of a crocodile, but the toughness and strength were a hundred times stronger.

"What the hell is this?" he had encountered this material for the first time, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead.

The strange creature felt that the time had come, and it slowly lifted its neck one by one, and the stone dust accumulated on the scales kept peeling off and falling down, and when it lifted its whole neck, it seemed to show the world to open its wings that could hide the clouds and the sun, and at the same time open its huge mouth full of fangs as if it was announcing its return.

Endless and dazzling flames poured out of its mouth, illuminating the entire cavern.

It also illuminates its devastating body.

And Stannis was already slumped on the ground in fright, because it was ...... that appeared in front of him Be......

"Dora, Dora, Dora, Dora!"

I'm sorry, he was nervous and mispronounced it for a while.

"Grab the roots!"

He shouted in despair, as if he was about to shout out all his strength.

A dragon capable of destroying the world descended upon him.
