Chapter 38: The Ghost Tunnel
Every lizardfolk wanted to know what would happen to Baylor, but after the lich described the Bloodvenom, few dared to try it. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
There were a lot of people gathered in the tunnel, and most of the lizard families were adjusting to the current environment, and the seven leaders arranged the warriors in their hands to keep watch.
Now they have to move forward, stay here, one has no food, two has no water available, the surface is completely blocked, only forward, maybe there is an exit.
Uyang glanced at Cage, "This tunnel is under your village, haven't you heard of it, the history of the lizard tribe is something else." ”
Cage shook his head, "No, the stone used in this tunnel doesn't exist in this space, and it's obvious that it was built by an alien race. ”
Since there are no useful clues, I can only explore it myself, "Ah Da, lead your team to open the way, Ah Er, Ah Wu, protect everyone, and the others will be on guard and keep the lights on." ”
The lich's order was simple, and the team walked forward, it was a flat path, very spacious, there was not a single mark on the walls, and not even the slightest abnormality was felt in the air.
The group walked forward for about half an hour, without danger or gain, as if there was no end at all.
"Mark it!", said the lich, remembering a kind of circular tunnel, and once trapped in it, although it looked like a straight line to the naked eye, it was a huge circle, and there was no end to it all its life.
Fortunately, it was not as he expected, and after walking forward for an hour, he finally felt that something was different, the tunnel was much wider than before, and there were carvings on the stone surface, some kind of ghost drawing.
"These talismans resemble each other!", Cage glanced at him earnestly, "and they resemble the place leading to our altar." ”
"Altar?", the lich wondered, he had never heard Cage say.
Cage shook his head bitterly, "The altar, the specific location should be in the middle of the rock river, and the poisonous lizard you are looking for is in the altar, in fact, I won't tell you, it's also for your good, the poisonous lizard is not a tribe, but some criminals, among our lizard clan, there are three tunnels leading to the altar, and all guilty people will be banished to the tunnel for judgment, and at the end of the tunnel, is our altar!"
"Have you ever seen the altar?"
Cage shook his head, "No, only sinful people need to be cleansed from the altar, but I've heard that there is so much poison gas that almost all of them have to die, but there is only a few, slim chance of surviving." They will adapt to the environment there and thus reproduce. ”
"So they've become completely their own clan?"
Cage nodded, "They are abandoned by us, they regard us as enemies, only those who are also abandoned will be accepted by them, every lizard tribe has a clear message, the evil and depraved lizard, permanently suppressed in the altar, poisonous lizards are also called evil lizards, and every escape from the altar is the disaster of the lizard tribe." ”
"Will they be able to escape?"
"There have been three catastrophes, each of which was the demise of the most powerful tribes. ”
"They're very capable?"
Cage smiled bitterly, "I don't know, there is no record in the history books, it just says that they alone destroyed a tribe." ”
"And these tunnels, do you know what they mean?"
Cage nodded, "This is the ghost tunnel, which is rumored to be the passage through which the ancient gods transported the ghosts, but our tribe Zhang Lai guessed that these runes are likely to be some kind of power words in ancient times, with special powers, but no one can decipher them at all." ”
The ancient civilization led by the creator god has been extinct, and many of the things left behind at the beginning are now mysteries, and as for this ghost rune, it seems that it is just a decoration now.
The god of the underworld did appear in ancient civilizations, but now, the inheritance of the god of the underworld is completely extinct.
The lich took a closer look, he was very interested in this unknown power, and after conducting his own reincarnation experiment, he could not use the sequelae of the great magic spell and the delicate body, so that he had to shift his combat focus to the combination of ordinary spells.
Now he is only facing some minions, once he encounters a real strong person, his combination spell may be able to trap the opponent a few times, but if he wants to really kill, it is impossible to be dangerous to the core essence.
The world has never lacked the strong.
This is also what the lich fears the most, he must increase his power, and the fastest way to improve now is to increase his power.
Only broad resources can shape an absolute powerhouse.
Although he knew that there was no danger, he was still a lot more careful, and the sudden widening of the tunnel made the lizardmen very nervous, and after knowing that this was the road to the altar, he was even more frightened.
But the lich said to go forward, and no one dared to retreat, and if he went forward, he could live, and if he retreated, he could only die.
There are more and more ghost runes on both sides, and it looks like countless grimaces, but the various grimaces are different, this should be a kind of writing, a record of something.
Finally, I felt a breath of fresh air coming from the entrance of the cave, proving that they had reached the end of the tunnel, and the further you walked, the more you could hear the sound of rushing water, like a waterfall, falling from the sky.
Everyone saw that there was a bright light at the end of the passage, and after staying in the dark environment for a long time, people felt a glimmer of light, as if there was a glimmer of hope.
Ah Da walked forward excitedly, sprinting to the entrance of the cave, but soon he held on to the wall and vomited, Wu Yang stood at the entrance of the cave, in front of him was a cliff, completely made of white limestone, on the cliff set up countless caves, and such a tunnel mouth, as if four directions, from the four mountains.
It's a bit like the mouth of a mountain, and in the center is a green, disgusting, stinking ditch-like dead lake, and under the tunnel exit, there are countless small caves densely packed.
In the cave, from time to time, several lizard heads poked out, green and smoking, exactly as Kelly had said.
The stench of poisonous gas evaporated along their caverns, and through the dark green pool, you could still see the white bones in them.
And these stenches seem to have been fermented by these white bones, and although these lizardmen have long been accustomed to everything here, they still occasionally pinch their noses to make themselves comfortable.
In such an environment, it is no wonder that every lizardman wants to escape from his eyes, and now he knows a little bit why all lizards can destroy a tribe, very simply, these lizards in such an environment, their bodies carry the plague.
And it's a specific plague.
There are many types of plagues, there are bone fermentation, meat fermentation, and bacterial breeding, and in any case, they all have one thing in common, they are long-lasting, contagious quickly, and have a high mortality rate.
Looking at the long line behind him, if a poisonous lizard jumped up, maybe few of these people would be left.
"Boss!", Cage pointed to the crack on one side, "These crevices lead down there, and the poisonous lizard you found is right down there." ”
Cage had worry in his eyes, and he didn't know if it was right or wrong to let these lizards out, but for now he could only trust the lich. As he spoke, he took out a half-foot-long piece of wood and handed it to Wu Yang, "My brother should have survived, and if possible, he might be able to give you some help." ”
"Thank you!", she said, turning her head to Vivian, "Xiaowei, manage the lizard tribe well, save some food, and I'll go down and take a look alone." ”
"Boss!", Vivien cried, she saw the environment in front of her clearly, it was so sinister, the lich's body was so thin, and the poisonous lizard was extremely dangerous, if it hung up, without waiting for the other party to ask, the lich had found a crack and climbed down.
The warriors were already physically and mentally exhausted after a battle and such a long hike, and to disband and reunite with their families temporarily, Vivien needed to select some who could work, so many people, it was very expensive.
But now the most important thing for her was food and water, the slaves hadn't eaten for a long time, and of course there was the question of how to transport them to her plane.
Looking at the thin figure of the lich, there is now a warm current flowing through the bottom of my heart.
