44. The Countess's Assault
With lightning speed, Esther cut the little flower from its stem with a pair of scissors. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Info Then, he was alert to the irregular shaking of the ground. He did a front flip and jumped back onto the top of the rock, but the whole rock was lifted up in no time. Esther hurriedly adjusted his balance in mid-air and landed firmly on the ground.
He looked up and saw a red lump of flesh the size of a cow emerging from under the rock, dozens of tentacle-like roots more than a meter long waving wildly around.
The top of the lump was supposed to be the place where a flower-like eye was supposed to grow. Now only a broken flower stem remains, spraying green sap out incessantly.
"You're ugly. Esther pouted, pulled out the universal fir wood, and turned it into a three-meter fork. He forked the big lump with a fork and pushed it down the valley with a hard push. The mass of flesh struggled and flew in mid-air, then slammed into the ground at the bottom of the valley with a snap and never moved again.
Looking at the smashed mass of flesh on the ground, which was almost torn apart, Esther thought of something. That is, since there is surveillance, the security is almost there.
"Ahh He looked at the curtain of blood that had dispersed, and his chest rose and fell rapidly. "What's going on! Doesn't that mean that the Flower of the Magic Eye won't be discovered?"
The high-ranking disciples around him were also speechless. This magic flower is extremely stealthy and has never been spotted in previous use.
Seeing the incompetentness of the high-ranking cultists around him, Archbishop Amal couldn't hold back his anger. This time, the attack on the ground was fierce and apparently sustainable. This already gave him a premonition of danger, so he deliberately chose a location with a series of underground passes in a dangerous terrain to attract them to attack, intending to gradually deplete the morale and physical strength of the unbelievers on the ground. The plan has been successful so far. Because it is impossible for the large army of the unbelievers to remain underground all the time, as long as it drags on for a while, this crisis will naturally be resolved. But now the situation has changed. The Holy Religion is in danger of being caught between two sides. An unknown number of enemies emerged from places he thought were safe, and the first attack was an important place like the Deep Valley Prison. He felt that the enemies who had infiltrated the prison area must be dealt with once and for all.
"Go to the cell at once, all four of you, and take a hundred men. Tell the Deep Stone tribe again and let them send out another hundred people. The number of enemies must be small. You must retake the prison area. Destroy all enemies. ”
Varenkina's fleet soon got word of the fleet heading downstream. The lower reaches of the underground river turned into an underground river and burrowed beneath a huge rock. The Marines made several dives and found that the distance was too long for ordinary people to swim through, and there was no room for boats under the boulders. This suggests that the flotilla going downstream can only return in vain. Valentina asked her men to return the way they came, and then slowly followed her own team as a reserve.
The team she personally led was heading upstream, encountering no enemies along the way, except for some of the more difficult sections to navigate. This made Valentina very unhappy. As far as she knew, the other group led by Master Sal Montaro had already fought with the Green Cross cultists. This shows that she is likely to be on the wrong path, and she is simply getting farther and farther away from the cultists.
Fighting in underground areas with intricate road conditions is not uncommon. Many times they know the existence of cultists, but they are confused by all kinds of traces and cannot find each other.
Valentina, who was wondering if she had chosen the wrong direction, suddenly noticed that the speedboat had stopped. She was about to ask a question, but when she looked up, she saw a spectacle.
A waterfall stood in front of her. This is an underground waterfall with a large drop of about 30 meters. The waterfall hangs like a curtain of water in the air, and the splashes are scattered in a variety of colors under the lighting light installed on the bow of the speedboat. Such waterfalls are rare even above ground, let alone in the shadowy underground.
At the bottom of the waterfall is a waterhole, and when you come here, the originally low cave suddenly becomes taller. The waterfall cascades down from the top of the cave, and on both sides of it are moss-covered rock walls that have been washed away by water for many years.
"What the hell is this. Valentina looked at the waterfall and let out a curse.
She is a legend, and her marines are all high-ranking warriors, but even then it is impossible for them to climb the slippery waterfall more than thirty meters high with an alchemy speedboat.
"There's no way ahead. Valentina shouted to the ships behind. Her voice echoed through the deep underground passages.
All the speedboats were parked in this small waterhole, and the Marines looked up at this rare underground spectacle.
Looking at the tall waterfall, Valentina's face was ugly. She knew that at least eight out of ten of the dead house alchemists in the fleet would not be able to climb up. Thirty meters is too high. Even her Marines were dangerous to climb such a wet and smooth rock face. Such terrain is really not suitable for a large group of people to pass.
The Countess of Hugh has never been one to be afraid of difficulties. She immediately ordered the team to return to the place of departure and go to the Count of Vantaa, asking him to send a construction team to set up a forward camp at the waterfall, and at the same time find a way to build a pulley group on the waterfall that could lift the alchemy speedboat. This waterfall may be impassable for ordinary people, but it is not impossible for any legendary powerhouse to survive even in the flesh in the void. Valentina arranged for her men to return, and even her two maids were ordered to return. She herself decided to climb the waterfall and go to unknown areas alone.
After all her men had gone away, Valentina threw off all her clothes and swam alone in a pool of cold underground water. For her, who comes from the Celenti tundra, Coronia is always so hot, but it makes her feel extremely comfortable to be underground today. She swam to the bottom of the raging waterfall, letting the hammer-like water smash down on her fair, delicate and tight skin. Backstroke, side-swim, somersault. The countess, who is only twenty years old this year, felt for a moment as if she had returned to the glacier of her hometown of Serenti. Only the icy water of the river there can give birth to delicate and tight skin like Valentina.
After taking a good shower and throwing away the bad mood caused by the bad luck along the way, Valentina climbed up to the river bank with her long blue hair. The countess's figure is graceful and moving, and she has no intention of covering it up at all. She was covered in snow-white all over, with only a seductive blue trimmed neatly trimmed between her legs. The young legend jumped lightly in place, and the whole person became blurry in mid-air, like a beauty painted by an abstract painter composed of clouds and mist. It was as if Valentina had lost her weight all at once, and with just one jump, she was sent to the top of the waterfall.
The cave at the top of the waterfall is noticeably shorter, and even the height from the river bank to the top of the cave is less than two meters. This is not good news for the superior countess. Instead of walking bent over, simply swim through.
Like a mermaid who never gets tired, Valentina swims against the current and swims upstream of the underground river.
Even if she swims forward in the water with physical strength, Valentina's speed is close to eighty kilometers per hour, and she will not be exhausted at all, with an extremely high level of extraordinary endurance. This allows her to move faster than the larger forces. The icy underground river without light seems to have become her exclusive highway.
The underground river suddenly burrowed beneath the rock formations ahead. Without hesitation, Valentina dived in with the current. This girl's diving ability was honed at the bottom of the frozen river in the Serenti. After becoming a legend, her aura was almost endless, and the danger of suffocation was largely non-existent for her. What's more, even if the worst happens, she still has legendary skills to use to turn her own elements.
The distance below the rock formation was long, and even her speed had to swim for nearly an hour when she finally gained the space to lift her head out of the water.
With a long exhale, Valentina climbed up the bank from the underground river. Here, the cave was high again, enough for her to walk normally on the shore. After such a lonely and lonely journey, she felt a little uncomfortable when she was always surrounded by maids and subordinates since she left to become a legend. Shouldn't there be a maid who brings her soft and clean new clothes and good food and wine at this time? Thinking of the Green Cross cult that allowed her to appear here alone, she now wished that someone from the Green Cross would appear in front of her.
Walking along the banks of a river is certainly faster than swimming in the water, especially if the person moving has a pair of super toned long legs. Valentina moves at high speed in the dark, possessing dark vision, an ability rarely seen in humans, which she has evolved to adapt to the three-month period of darkness that Serenti has had every year.
Suddenly, a light appeared in front of me. Valentina almost thought she was hallucinating. She switched her vision mode to visible light in time, avoiding the halo that often occurs with underground creatures.
"It's ...... A dock!" Valentina, who approached, saw a row of boats parked. "Is this the cultist's underground dock?"
Soon, Valentina found two bodies with separate heads. She had the opportunity to examine the mouths of the two corpses, and found that they were the lowest living puppets of the two Green Cross cults.
Who killed them? Could it be our people? Valentina looked at the two corpses where their necks had been severed. Good sharp weapon, good slash. This is definitely a master.
"Interesting. There are people who arrived before me!" Valentina looked at the undisguised traces of deep into the cave on the ground, and a smile appeared on her lips.
"Then let me see who the master can break into here!"
Following the trails on the ground, Valentina quickly chased in the direction where Esther and Sonia had left. Along the way, she discovers the bodies of unsuspecting cultists killed by raids. She could tell from the distance of the deceased and the wounds on their bodies that there were two people who had killed the cultists in front of her, and from the size and style of the shoe prints left by the other party, she could tell that they were two young girls.
"Two girls again!" Valentina couldn't help but sigh. "Where in this world are there so many powerful young chicks! Am I old?"
