Chapter 415: Advance and Prominence (I)

I have to say that the alchemy in the world of "Fullmetal Alchemist" is very convenient whether it is used to destroy or build, Edward and Alphonse are two brothers, one is responsible for digging the tunnel leading to the bottom, and the other is responsible for strengthening the tunnel to prevent collapse, and deliberately uses alchemy to create a zào ventilation pipe to deliver oxygen to the tunnel, of course, Alphonse without a body does not need to breathe, but Edward is still a normal human.

With the help of the compass, Edward was able to determine the location of the lumberyard, but it was unclear how deep the altar would be placed by the cultists. However, based on previous observations in the royal capital of Saxony, it can be judged that the construction method of this country is still quite ancient, and there is not much large-scale engineering equipment, so it must not be too deep to dig out a secret altar without knowing it.

The light of alchemy in the tunnels was shining all the time, and Edward, who was digging ahead, felt like he had turned into a groundhog, slowly moving forward while looking at the compass.

"Al~ lean the torch a little closer, I can't see the compass anymore. After digging some more distance, Edward said to Alphonse, who was carrying a torch behind him.

With a little light from the torches, Edward looked at the compass to make sure that there was no problem with the excavation route, and from the current situation, it seemed that he should have reached the bottom of the lumberyard but did not find any secret rooms and altars, and the problem now was that he did not know if he had dug too deep and had not dug too much, or if he was not deep enough to touch the underground altar.

"It's probably more than 30 meters deep. Edward thought back to the depth of the sloping passage.

"Could it be that we misjudged that they didn't build an altar under the lumberyard?"

Alphonse said worriedly, Edward couldn't help but scratch his head, it is indeed possible, if this is the case, then he and Al are really helpless. Although the air in the tunnel has a snorkel for ventilation, it still looks very turbid, and Edward feels a little uncomfortable with the rotten smell of the earth, and Edward, who just wants to take a little rest while holding on to the wall, suddenly finds that the soil of this generation seems to be a little slimy. Even the soles of my feet felt a little muddy.

Tick ┉┉

Suddenly, Edward found that a drop of water had fallen on his shoulder, and the little bean, who had been stimulated, subconsciously raised his head and landed on his face with the second drop of water. Hurriedly took the torch from Alphonse's hand and shone it upwards, and then Edward was surprised to find that the entire roof of the passage was already full of water droplets, which were affected by the heat of the torch, and the water droplets suddenly fell like rain.

"Oh no, it's a permeable layer!" Edward, who had a lot of knowledge, knew what was going on at once. This does not bode well. The biggest fear for any worker working underground in mines, tunnels, etc., is to encounter permeable layers.

As Edward pondered whether to fix it with alchemy, the water in the permeable layer became larger and larger, and the earth at the top began to flow down at a speed that was visible to the naked eye.

"Brother~"

"Hurry up and run back to Al!"

Edward stuck the torch into the wall next to him, and was about to use alchemy to strengthen the top of the tunnel when a large amount of soft mud that had been washed by the water slid down, and Edward was suddenly doused into a clay figure. The silt on the tunnel floor quickly spread upwards, and soon the groundwater on the mud began to swarm in.

"It's okay, brother!" Alphonse hurriedly scooped up Edward, who had been covered in mud, and the water in the pit had overflowed Alphonse's waist almost instantly.

Edward wiped the mud from his eyes, looked at the water that had almost flooded to his neck (calculated by the height of Xiaodouzi), and hurriedly alchemized into a mud wall to try to stop the flow of water, but the mud wall quickly collapsed under the impact of the water at the moment of refining, obviously these soaked silt could not form an effective barrier at all. The torches on the walls came loose and fell into the water and went out. At the other end of the tunnel, the sound of a collapse was also heard.

The darkness of vision and the threat of death made Edward a little overwhelmed, but Alphonse lifted his brother and put it on his shoulder. In the darkness, Alphon thought that he could clearly see a qiē, put his hands together, and began to use alchemy to open a passage upwards without hesitation. Relying on the endless body, he desperately climbed up along the open vertical passage.

"The flood came up to Al. ”

Edward, who was hanging behind Alphonse, could tell from the sound of the water that the tunnel had been flooded, and now that the water was constantly surging, God knows what the hell and Al-Al had dug to cause such a big penetration.

The continuous refining and climbing would have been unbearable if it weren't for Alphonse to become an ordinary person, and suddenly Alphonse suddenly realized that in addition to the sound of the water coming up, there seemed to be some faint voices in his ears, of course, it was definitely not his brother's voice, no matter how it sounded like a woman's voice.

Is it going to the ground?

Alphonse sped up suddenly. But then he put the idea behind him, and he should have climbed some distance from the ground at the height he was climbing now. However, seeing that the water below had already flooded his calves, Alphonse didn't have much time to think about these things, so he supported his body and put his hands together as fast as he could, and opened the way, and then climbed up and pushed open the lid

Hey!!?

Alphonse poked his head out and found himself in a strange place, and the first thing that caught his eye was a white flesh and a woman looking at him with a puzzled expression. It wasn't until Edward's urging voice came from behind him that Alphonse came back to his senses and hurriedly climbed up.

"It's on the ground┉┉Wow!!What kind of place is this!!!"

Edward, who was like a clay figure, was startled as soon as he climbed out. The harem-like hall was filled with naked young women, and a strange faint scent wafting into the tip of his nose seemed to be some kind of incense used to fuel the fun, and Edward felt a little hot all over his body after only inhaling a little. The one qiē in front of them, for the two children who are still 'place', the scene in front of them is indeed a little difficult to look at!

Alphonse subconsciously wanted to cover his eyes, but suddenly Al noticed a familiar figure, and it seemed to be Tia lying flat on the altar in front of him. In front of Tia, a huge black shadow with an ominous aura appeared.

"Catch them!!" Priestess Charlot's angry voice rang out, especially the constant flow of water from the pit below the two of them, which made Charlotto's anger difficult to describe in words.

The female cultists around screamed and hurriedly grabbed what could be used to cover up and draped them on their bodies, while the attendants with serpentine swords surrounded them from all sides.

The worried Alphonse turned a blind eye to the cultists surrounding him and ran towards Tia, but suddenly Alphonse stopped abruptly, because the huge black shadow beside Tia looked at Alphonse, just this glance made Alphonse have to stop, and Tia's worries and anxieties were instantly washed away, replaced by an invisible and powerful sense of oppression, like a frog stared at by a poisonous snake, which is a sense of crisis belonging to biological instinct, Alphonse felt that his heart could not suppress the breeding of feelings called fear。

The black demon's projected eyes glowed with an eerie yellow light, like a voice from another dimension piercing Alphonse's soul.

Terrible!

Alphonse stared blankly at the demonic projection that had turned to him, his body as if it had been filled with lead in an instant, and not only that, but there seemed to be an unknown force squeezing his body to strip his soul from it.

Edward, who had just refined a stone fist and knocked a female cultist away, found that there was something wrong with Alphonse's situation, and Edward, who was instantly captured by the demon's sight, also seemed to be shocked, and cold sweat began to ooze densely on his forehead, this amazing sense of oppression Edward knew that he had seen it before, that is, when he met Yalin when he first came to this world, but compared to the oppression brought by Yalin, it made people feel trustworthy and trustworthy, and the demon in front of him was like death-like coercion.

Forcibly suppressing the fear that had grown from his soul, Edward saw Alphonse standing still as if he couldn't move, and suddenly knew that something was wrong, and more female cultists surrounded him, and even several women's bodies began to change, which was the same change as the monster he had encountered in the lumberyard before.

One human lion forced Edward and Al to retreat strategically to overcome, and now facing three or four human lions at the same time Edward and Al have no chance of winning.

"Come to your senses~" Edward shouted at Alphonse.

Seeing that his younger brother didn't react, Edward closed his hands and began to refine without hesitation, the ground began to shake and formed a huge fist shape and flew towards the huge demon projection, but before the fist arrived, the demon projection had already stretched out his hand and waved violently, and an invisible force fanned Edward and the refined fists away.

"Wow!!" Edward fell on the ground and rolled several times before stopping, and just as the wolf bèi got up, Edward noticed that three human lions had rushed towards him from different directions.

For a moment, Edward was also at a loss.

Looking at Edward, the demon's projection shifted its gaze to Alphonse again, and as if hesitating, the demon grabbed the stunned Alfons with his huge palm. (To be continued......)
