464 Access to the 5th basement floor (5)
Ian struggled to get up from the ground, but the mutilated still did not give up the attack on Ian, and grabbed Ian little by little. Ian had to endure the pain and crush the heads one after the other. It's not like, after losing your head, you lose your ability to move, and you are completely reduced to a dead corpse.
After settling the situation beside him, Ian dragged Manhe out of his hands. Manhe was in a bad state, with dozens of scratches all over his body, blood flowing all over the ground, and he himself fell into a fainting, his mouth was slightly open, and blood bubbles continued to gush out.
Ian took the oil lamp down the stairs and placed it beside Manhe, only to find that Manhe's worst wound was in the lower abdomen, which had been broken open and even his intestines had fallen out. As he dragged Manhe just now, his intestines left a narrow streak of blood on the ground.
Ian didn't know how to save him, so he could only force the sore pain in his eyes and stuff Manhe's intestines back into his stomach little by little. Then he tore a piece of cloth from his clothes and barely bandaged the wound so that the blood would not flow so fast.
Other than that, he didn't know what he could do. He had no tools for sterilization, and no herbs for treatment. All he knew was that if it weren't for Manhe's desperate rush towards the group, then only death awaited him.
He managed to reach the fifth underground floor, the most dangerous and mysterious level. Seeing that the truth is in front of him, Manhe falls, which makes Ian tired, more tired than anyone who has lost before. If Manhe dies, he will probably become a headless fly and be trapped underground for twenty years, just like Manhe.
Ian was stunned and hurriedly pinched his hand, the brief pain made him sober up a little. In this case, once you are caught in the emotions of negative energy, it is difficult to break free. He knew that the biggest situation he was facing now was not something else, but the negative energy in his heart.
He'd been haunted by this negative energy for too long, since the first day he was here.
"On the bright side, you're still alive. Ian patted Manhe on the head, "And you've helped me enough, take a good rest, and let me walk on my own." ”
What Ian said was true, because Manhe also said that he didn't know anything about the five underground floors, but only guessed that it might be the place used by the dwarves to enslave thousands of years ago, and it was also the source of the catastrophe in the first place. As a result, Manhe helps Ian a lot less in this level than in other levels.
Ian sat there and thought about it for a long time, and finally made a decision after slowly recovering his strength. He carried Manhe to the stone staircase at the last step, then placed the oil lamp beside him and shoved the matchbox into the palm of his hand.
"I can't take you with me on the road. Ian looked at the unconscious Manhe and whispered, "I don't know if I'll survive, and I don't know if you'll survive." But I know that in your state and if I go in, I will definitely die, and I will not be able to take care of you. If you wake up, go back the way you came, and if you can go back to the warehouse on the third floor, that's great. ”
Ian paused, then continued, "Of course, the best-case scenario is that you can meet Green and Bowen, they will surely come in for me, and if you follow them, you will have a better chance of surviving." ”
He knew that Manhe would not be able to hear him, but he had to give it a try. After all, he couldn't have left a long line of text telling Manhe about his decision. In fact, he also has some contradictions, whether it was the right decision to bring Manhe here, originally he had his own life, although he survived underground, but he was still alive, and the food in the warehouse on the third floor of the underground was enough for him to live for a long time.
Reluctant to live, and heroic to death, what is right and what is wrong, I'm afraid no one can say.
With a soft sigh, Ian threw the thoughts out of his mind and walked towards those who had lost their ability to move. To keep Manhe here, you have to make sure that these don't suddenly get up and kill Manhe, otherwise he will be a murderer himself, and he must make sure that these monsters are not a threat.
Second, there are things in them that he needs.
For example, torches, and for example, weapons.
Each one carries a torch behind them, presumably thousands of years ago, the five underground floors were completely opaque and needed torches for lighting. Just as there are lamps everywhere in the corridors on the other four floors, almost every lamp has residual fuel in it, which is why Manhe has survived to this day.
Far from it.
Ian got seven torches. In fact, there are more than seven of them, but it looks like there are only these seven that can be used, after all, they are old antiques from thousands of years ago, and Ian has no confidence in letting these old antiques play their role again.
If the torches weren't lit, he would really have to stay where he was, wait for Manhe to wake up, and then use his oil lamp. But it soon turned out that the dwarven things were still good, and this thousand-year-old torch could still burn, although the candle was a little small, and it still had a strange smell when it was burned, but it was thankful that it could be lit.
After solving the problem with the light source, the next step is the weapon. Although Ian really didn't look down on those rusty iron swords, it was better than nothing at the moment, at least to be able to inflict damage. Otherwise, when he encountered a monster like that, he could only go up and die with his bare hands.
So he chose three iron swords that were not so rusty, plus a spear, and carried them with him. In fact, some of these people used bows and arrows before they died, and the arrows were well preserved, but the worst thing was that the bowstrings of these bows had been broken, and Ian took a closer look and found that it was indeed impossible to continue to use them, it could be said that they were broken at the touch of a button, and he could only give up the idea of using bows and arrows. After all, if the bow and arrow were in good condition, it would be far more useful than these rusty iron sword spears.
With these weapons in hand, Ian became more and more aware of how perfect the former guardian and the Priscent Moon Goddess really were. He shot Naga with the Musk Moon and finished Nathan with the Guardian, but with these things, he doubted he would be able to get past that.
But again, something is better than nothing. After putting everything in order, Ian took one last look at Manhe, then picked up the torch and walked on the road.
