In the wilderness where the night wind whined, the camel cart drove forward with the sound of wheels, and the scenery on both sides of the window was drawn into a blurred line and quickly retreated.

In the carriage, the curious Gogoreira was like a sparrow, tired of being beside the two of them, chattering and asking questions.

"Where have you all been on adventures, what monsters have you encountered, and how much is your annual income now, can you reveal a little bit about it?"

"Why do these terrible evil spirits listen to you, is there a unique secret that you can teach me?"

"You guys are so powerful, you shouldn't be short of money, are you really going to the Snakov Monastery for treasure?"

......

Met with the mental bombardment of the brown-haired girl's chatter, Yare and Bruno finally couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they arrived at the Snakov Monastery late at night.

But when they stepped out of the carriage and saw for the first time the whole view of the monastery, they lifted up again with a sigh of relief.

Directly in front of the road, under the silver-white moonlight, an old and majestic dome-like building rises from the ground, in the standard Eastern Mediterranean style, concave 35 degrees of streamlining, and the blue glazed windows reflect the luster of the full moon, which is particularly dazzling.

The exterior of the complex is a pillar-like gray-green rock brick enclosure that stretches infinitely towards the horizon on the left and right, with no end in sight to the naked eye.

Looking up from the towers of the tallest building of the monastery, several heavy dark clouds floated in the deep air, clustered around the full moon like cushions, and the sharp tops of the towers pierced deep into the sea of clouds.

Outside the trapezoidal stone doors of the Snakov Monastery, which opened like the mouth of the abyss, piles of bonfires were lit. A large number of dome-shaped tents spread in circles, almost blocking the monastery.

A large number of miscellaneous mercenaries carried torches, and the sporadic flames were connected together. It was as if it were a fiery dragon coiled outside the walls of the Snakov Monastery.

The group of people was blocked outside the open monastery door, their faces full of eagerness, as if they were afraid of something, and they hesitated and refused to move forward, but they were unwilling to leave like this, so they remained in such a stalemate.

"We're here, you two should go. Be careful all the way. ”

The black-haired knight glanced at Gogorella, who was full of unfinished face, waved goodbye, and walked side by side with the silver-haired boy to the Snakov Monastery.

Look at their backs in the distance. The brown-haired girl showed an expression of regret and frustration, hung her head in frustration, and sighed weakly:

"It's a pity that I didn't ask anything along the way. ”

"Maybe there's some special reason. so that they do not want to be known. ”

Charles looked thoughtful. His gaze moved from behind them and landed on the lifeless camel cart, and his face turned pale in an instant:

"I think the thing we need to think about now is how to get out of this strange car safely......"

“......”

Gogorella glanced at the silent evil spirit in the driver's seat, and her scalp tingled for a while.

In front of the monastery's gates, the mercenaries spontaneously made way for them to open a passageway, with strange smiles on their faces. And looked at the two of them with a playful look.

Yare and Bruno walked straight through the passage that the group had made way to the massive trapezoidal stone door. Suddenly stopped, turned to face everyone:

"This is an enclosed space, not a place where you should be, and there is no point in staying here any longer, so it is better to leave early. ”

"If you go in, you'll die too. ”

A middle-aged mercenary in dirty leather armor with deep-set eye sockets stared at him coldly, while he raised his thumb and turned his fist upside down, made a gesture of contempt, and spat heavily on the ground.

“......”

The black-haired knight's gaze froze, and a white streak of light flashed in the air, hitting one of his thumbs.

Whew!

A miserable howl suddenly sounded in the night sky, and the mercenaries subconsciously hugged and retreated, leaving only a middle-aged mercenary holding his right hand and wailing.

......

"You ruined his right hand?"

"It's just a burn, I'm measured. ”

The two of them asked and answered, and walked side by side into the gates of the Snakov Monastery.

At night, the old and quiet monastery looks dark, and the cold wind blows up the dead leaves, floating silently in the gray vestibule, setting off a bit of an eerie atmosphere.

As far as the eye can see, the vestibule of the Snakov Monastery is overgrown with weeds, even in the cracks of the bricks of the inner wall of the dry fountain.

A large palm grows in the center of the vestibule, its lush foliage hanging down to the ground, obscuring almost the entire complex behind it.

The silver-haired boy closed his eyes, opened them again after a moment, frowned, and said:

"There are a lot of power fluctuations left here, and it seems that quite a few people have come in besides us. ”

"After all, it's just an enclosed space, and at best, it can only scare the low-level mercenaries. The black-haired knight walked in front of Bruno, his eyes carefully surveying his surroundings and whispering in response.

The entire vestibule of the monastery is filled with a sense of desolation that has been devoid of people for a long time.

In contrast to the tall buildings ahead, the vestibule has a somber feel, most of the space is obscured by palm-black foliage, and the moonlight is sparse.

And in one of the passageways, which had been clearly pierced by force, cobwebs had been formed.

"One blow penetrates a distance of fifty yards, and it's either a high-level mage or a warrior above the Cataclysm. ”

Yare said as he stood in front of the branches of the palm trees, looking through the dense cobwebs at a chiseled wall in front of him.

"Let's ask this guy. ”

Bruno pointed to the left front, then walked briskly over.

There, beneath the knotted rhizomes of the palm trees, there was an evil spirit with half of its head missing, bound in place by branches, numbly turning its only movable head.

"Are you sure the half-headed evil spirit can understand you?" the black-haired knight followed.

"Hey, I want to ask you something. ”

The silver-haired boy raised his left hand and condensed a cold ice sword. Resisting the head of the evil spirit, which was rotating at three hundred and sixty degrees, he frowned and asked:

"How many people have been here before us?"

The evil spirits seem to be completely unaware of his existence. Just twisted his neck, and then reversed it.

"She seems to have just died for a long time, and she has not yet come out of the moment of death. Bruno noticed the evil spirit's own body next to it, and found that the body had not yet begun to decompose, and that it should have been dead for no more than two days.

"Leave it alone, let's move on. ”

The black-haired knight swung a white flame of light from his left hand, burning all the dense cobwebs in the right hallway. Then he strode in.

"Okay. ”

Bruno glanced at the evil spirit with regret, then threw the ice sword in his hand and followed in the footsteps of his companion.

After entering the depths of the aisle. One after another, the two found a large number of evil spirits, some of which hung on tree rights, some wrapped around the rhizomes, and some were half-buried in the dirt. It's weird. It's scary.

"The corpses are all fresh, and they all look like low-level mercenaries who have tried to rush in during this time. ”

The silver-haired young man looked away from the face of an evil spirit buried in the ground with only his head exposed, supported his chin with his left hand, and calmly analyzed:

"But this is an abnormal ratio, and under normal circumstances, the chance of becoming an evil spirit after death is only 1 in 1,000 - even if it is an enclosed space. ”

"Perhaps...... That's one of the abilities of that vampire progenitor, grab it. All the problems are solved. Aree continued unhurriedly, stepping over a rotten arm. replied lightly.

The black-haired knight and Bruno walked through the aisle, and in front of them was a narrow corridor, which was pitch black and unlit, and it felt like an underground tunnel, winding and winding in all directions.

The footsteps of the two echoed in the hollow hallway, far away, to the left and right of the rooms where even the walls had collapsed, and only a faint cold light shone from the nameplates scattered with masonry.

In the extreme silence, some strange sound came to their ears, sounding like a group of people screaming somewhere far away, as unstable as a reflection in a ripple.

"Did you hear that?" asked the silver-haired boy in a whisper.

"I heard it, but I couldn't pinpoint the location. After answering his companion's question, Yalei stopped abruptly.

He noticed that the floor in front of him was still wet, and the clear trail of water stretched twenty paces away, then suddenly broke off and disappeared into thin air.

"What is this?" Bruno also noticed the water trail.

"Go check it out. ”

As he spoke, the black-haired knight quickened his pace and walked to the point where the water had disappeared.

As soon as he approached, there was a creaking sound beside him, and the rotten decorative panels on the side walls were constantly bulging, deforming, and bulging bubbles one after another. Then a large number of cockroaches came out from under the decorative panels like a black tide, and the number was terrifying, each of which was more than ten centimeters long.

"Could it be that someone was splashed with water and walked here, and then dragged away by a big cockroach?"

Aree muttered to himself as he took a slight step forward.

With a snap of this step, a clear indentation appeared on the ground, and a white flame exploded directly from the indentation, spreading instantly in a radial manner, and burning all the cockroaches into charcoal between breaths.

“......”

The silver-haired boy covered his mouth, trying not to pay attention to the remains of the cockroach, and his eyes fell on a hole in the broken wall, and he could see a faint flash of light.

"Yare! Illumination!" Bruno stepped over the charred cockroach remains and approached the glittering hole.

"What did you find?"

The black-haired knight immediately cocked up his fingertips, lit a flame of light, and walked over to the silver-haired boy.

The white light shone in the cave, and the hole in the black hole suddenly reflected a ray of light, making the two of them feel unusually dazzling.

"It seems to be some kind of metal. ”

Bruno was about to reach out to take it, but halfway through, Yare grabbed his arm and said calmly:

"Let me do it. ”

The black-haired knight took two steps back with his companion, a light mark cracked in the center of his eyebrows, and with a slight shot, a metal rose was sucked out by him.

Holding the metal rose in his hand, Yalei stretched out the index finger of his other hand and touched the petals all the way to the stem, and found that the end was abnormally sharp:

"It's a weapon. ”

"Weapons, use roses as weapons...... What a ......."

The silver-haired boy stuck out his tongue with an incomprehensible expression.

"Presumably, a narcissist, one of the people who entered this enclosed space before us. The black-haired knight crumpled the metal rose into a ball of scrap metal and threw it into the corner.

"Eh, this room...... Seems to be well preserved. ”

Bruno then noticed the room next to the hole, which, unlike the crumbling walls around it, was not only well-preserved, but also the doors were not completely rotten.

"This room...... It gives me a very nasty feeling. As Yalei spoke, a gust of wind pressure swept through the air, slamming the rotten wooden door to pieces.

As soon as the door was broken, a strong smell of blood hit their faces, and the two of them held their breath at the same time and cautiously stepped into the room.

The curtains in this room were drawn, so the whole room was dark, and even the smell of blood could not hide the musty smell.

Yalei lit a cloud of white light, shone over to the curtain, and pulled it hard, tearing the almost weathered curtain into flying ash, and the thick dust dispersed from the space, and Bruno choked and coughed.

The black-haired knight turned and walked to a large bed in the center of the room, which was covered with a blackened tarpaulin, and the moonlight outside the window shone sparsely in, and he saw that something seemed to be moving in the cloth.

"There's something in there. ”

Bruno condensed an ice spear and lifted the oilcloth from a distance of several yards.

As soon as he opened a corner, he saw a shriveled hand. There was only a layer of gray-brown skin left on the fingers, and the blood vessels on the back of the hand were unusually clear, and blood oozed from the fingers. The hand kept lying outward, blood dripping across the sheets and splashing on the ground.

“......”

Silent as he walked over to the couch, reached out and grabbed the shriveled hand, and pulled it out hard.

Smack!

An arm was pulled out by him, and there was an eye on the biceps of the arm, and when he saw the black-haired knight, that eye suddenly widened and protruded with bloodshots.

The arm spasmed wildly in his hand like a giant worm, and after struggling to no avail, the eye suddenly burst open, and the entire shriveled arm turned into blood and slipped from Are's fingers.

"The blood is cold and not poisonous. ”

The black-haired knight shook off the blood from his hand and stepped forward with a kick, turning the entire large bed on its side.

Directly below the couch, there was a dark hollow, and at the moment when he kicked over the big bed, Bruno clearly saw several arms, like rats that saw the light, burrowed into the hollow.

The silver-haired young man stood in place with a pale face, looked into the depths of the hollow, and said coldly, "It's disgusting...... More disgusting than those big cockroaches. ”

"Have you ever seen this before?" asked Are, letting out a deep breath and a solemn face.

"Never seen before. Bruno shook his head and replied word for word.
