42. The Savior

The cavern in front of it seemed to be a natural underground valley, and it suddenly recessed down a layer in the cave passage that was already deep underground. The shape of the deep valley www.biquge.info Pen & Fun & Pavilion is like a large bowl, and it is 50 meters from the top to the bottom. The cell marked on the map is in this deep valley.

East and Sonia had expected to fight all the way to get here. But contrary to the expectations of the two, the cultists encountered along the way were very rare. These cultists were always spotted first in the face of East's transcendent perception, and then eliminated by the two of them.

Most of these followers were in groups of three or four, and the largest group was no more than six. This puzzled Easter, who had some scruples about the number of underground cultists.

There were only about twenty cultists killed along the way. Ten times worse than Easter's estimate of at least two hundred. Most of the cultists who were killed were living puppets similar to the sailors at the docks, with only one face showing signs of decay, and they were killed by Esther with a hammer. The guy's head was rotten like a broken watermelon, and East's sharp eyes only noticed the rot on his face.

"There don't seem to be many guards here. Sonia leaned down beside Esther and looked into the ravine. Although she planned to fight a big battle without any scruples, the girl was still worried that the captured people would be hurt in the battle. So when he arrived at the door of the deep valley of the cell, he began to investigate carefully, and even changed the message to telepathy.

The area of the deep valley is not large, about 100 meters in diameter at the top, and it narrows to less than 30 meters at the bottom, with only a stone staircase leading from the top of the valley to the bottom.

In the deep valley, the cultists dug many large and small caves on the four walls of the deep valley. The prisoners and guards were in these caves*** some of them had locked wooden fences in front of them, and some of them were completely open at the entrances of the caves. Each cave has a light source lit up at its entrance. Connecting the caves are narrow and spiral-shaped paths carved out by cultists on the mountain walls. Some caretakers patrol the roads back and forth.

"There are seven guards outside. They're moving around. There must still be guards who don't move. But they were all inside the cave. Esther helplessly spread his hands, "I can't see through yet." ”

"Then clean up the outside first, and if you don't believe it, you can't lead to the inside. Sonia pulled out a short bow and a pot of arrows from her weapon bracelet. She held her bow in her left hand, and with her right hand pulled four short arrows of ironwood from the quiver between her fingers, and turned to Easter, saying, "Watch, Easter. ”

"Understood. Esther took out the crossbow and left Sonia behind the guards.

"Death, cult puppets and monsters. Sonia didn't think about concealment at all, jumping straight from the edge of the ravine to the first floor of the spiral walkway. When the man was in mid-air, he had already released the first arrow.

Open the bow, release the arrow, and shift the target. This series of actions is all done in less than a second. As soon as the first guard heard the voice and turned to look in Sonya's direction, another arrow had already come out of the string. Sonia runs and jumps down the spiral, narrow walkway as she unleashes arrows at the nearest enemy. Within seconds, the four cult guards were shot through the head by sharp arrows and lay to the ground, motionless. The other three guards had already spotted Sonya at this time, and they were obviously not the lowest-level puppets, and they all issued warnings: "There is an enemy invasion, come and support." ”

Sonia just needs them to shout. She immediately drew three more arrows, and let the three cultists dodge left and right, still shooting through their heads one by one.

As if stabbed a hornet's nest, a large group of cultists swarmed out of the various caves. All of them had distorted faces, weapons in their hands, and inexplicable invectives and screams. The cultists immediately spotted Sonya, and they gathered in a group and swarmed towards Sonia along the narrow ramp.

At the forefront was a corrupt walker with a completely rotten and deformed face, his whole face like a broken tomato with two tentacles on it. At the top of the tentacles are two giant eyes with only six pupils, each the size of an orange. He held a long, odd-looking barrel-shaped weapon in his hand, and tried to aim the barrel at Sonya as he ran.

"Whoosh", a short-roded crossbow bolt struck one of the Corrupt Walker's eyes without any deviation. The guy let out a miserable howl and fell to the ground. The barrel in his hand came out of his hand and flew into the air, and when it fell, the mouth of the cylinder was facing the large group of cultists who followed him.

With a bang, a large cloud of flames erupted from the mouth of the barrel in a fan-shape, engulfing all the cultists who were following him. Suddenly, all kinds of screams resounded in the deep valley, and more than a dozen cultists struggled twice before they all fell to the ground, followed by the thick stench of burnt meat. Sonia was also taken aback by the momentum of the weapon. She had already shot the twenty ironwood arrows in the quiver, and had just taken out the second quiver when she saw one of the fellows being put down by Easter, and then scorched the large group of her own people behind her. Then, a strong stench hit her face, and Sonia had to cover her nose and take shelter.

This time there was a big eruption of fire, and at least fifteen cultists were cleaned up at once. There were about forty remaining cultists, but they seemed to be stunned by this terrible situation, and no one took a step forward when they looked at the sea of fire in front of them.

Seizing this favorable opportunity, Esther and Sonia cast their crossbows together, and released six or seven enemies in a row. Only then did the cultists react, and the enemy kept attacking them. The flames erupting from the barrel were violent, but short-lived, burning for a little over a minute before most of them were extinguished, except for the bodies of the cultists who had been ignited, still serving as fuel, keeping the flames burning in a dozen places. With a beastly roar, the cultists rushed over the hot-hot ramp and attacked Sonya again. Sonia nimbly shot as she retreated, knocking the guys to the ground in quick succession. Soon, these cultists found that the girl in front of them was quick and sensitive, and had been deliberately going around in circles with them. With their speed, they couldn't catch up with this girl at all, and they could only be shot to the ground like a target one by one.

The cultists, who had discovered the terrible truth of the matter, scattered like frightened rats, and Sonia followed them, shooting them through from behind one by one. The remnants of the cultists attempted to escape from the ravine, but were met by Easter on the only stone staircase, and none of them were able to climb the ravine. A small number of cultists found that they could not get out of the deep valley, so they scattered and hid in various caves.

In the dark, Thomas didn't know how much time had passed. He couldn't see a single light for a long time, which made him feel groggy all the time. In the darkness of despair, Thomas fell asleep several times. Every time he woke up, Thomas didn't want to open his eyes. He always told himself that everything was a nightmare, and as soon as he opened his eyes and was lying in the carriage of the car, he could see his wife and children talking and laughing beside him, handing him a piece of meatloaf, saying that it was not far to reach Colombo.

But every time I woke up, there was a deep despair. There was only darkness all around. He was locked in a small dirt pit with a large stone slab pressed against his head. The slate was only about one and a half meters above the ground, which caused Thomas to squat or sit in the pit, unable to stand up straight or lie flat.

Thomas, huddled in a dirt pit, had no idea where he was or who had taken his family.

The family travelled from the town of Cruise to Colombo to buy goods. Not long after leaving the town, a group of masked men rushed out of the forest by the side of the road. Not only are there more of these masked men, but some of them use strange spells that can make the usually tame earth lizard go crazy at once. Then there is the rollover accident. Thomas saw a young man from the town fly out of the car waving his hands and feet, falling headlong to the ground, blood gushing from his head, and the whole person was silent.

The rollover made the car almost incapacitated. The masked men swarmed them up, knocked them to the ground, tied their hands with ropes, bound their mouths, and covered their heads with a thick pocket. Then there is the hijacking. Everyone was held hostage by two masked men and walked forward, not knowing where they were going. All Thomas knew was that he had been put on a boat and walked for a long time in a river. Along the way, the masked men did not say a word, and every civilian who tried to make a noise was severely beaten. Thomas had no idea why he had been kidnapped, nor what awaited him.

After a long voyage, the ship finally stopped, and Thomas was taken hostage ashore. After a long and staggering walk, the pocket on the head of the grocer of Cruise Town was finally pulled down, but before he could see his surroundings, he was kicked into a dirt pit, and a heavy stone slab was covered to the mouth of the pit. Thomas tries to stand up, only to find that the height of the pit simply does not allow him to stand up. He half-crouched and pushed up the stone slab with all his might, but the other party did not move. He tried to shout to let him know that he could hand over the ransom, but no one paid attention to him until the corners of his mouth were worn by the ropes.

There was no water or food at all, and Thomas, hungry and thirsty, had to endure in a pit full of stench of feces. But what pained him the most was not knowing what was going on with his relatives. Judging from my current situation, I am afraid that the situation of my relatives will also be very bad. His virtuous wife, his sturdy son, and his fairy-like daughter, and the thought of what was going on to behold them, Thomas leaned against the edge of the filthy pit and shed tears.

Just when Thomas was in a hazy and half-asleep dreaming that his lovely daughter brought him a large glass of barley beer, he suddenly heard something.

It was like screams and shouts of killing.

This is someone fighting!!! Someone must have come to our rescue!

Who could it be!The town's militia, the city guards, and the lord's lord?

He didn't feel any thirst or hunger anymore. This somewhat obese grocery store owner suddenly felt that he had an inexhaustible amount of strength in his body. Ignoring the bleeding corners of his mouth strangled by the rough rope, he shouted in the loudest voice: "Sick (help), sick (help)!"

He heard someone running over the stone slab overhead, then someone chasing him, and then the sound of a sword slashing into a human body and the sound of a human body falling to the ground. Then, a footstep came towards the dirt pit where he was.

Thomas stopped calling for help, he could barely breathe. He looked at the slate above his head.

The slab shuddered suddenly, then was flipped to the other side, and a beam of light shone in from the top of the pit. Then, a crisp and pleasant voice asked, "Are you alright?

Thomas swore to God that it was the best voice he had ever heard in his life, and his eyes were filled with tears.
