Chapter 188: The Shelter
But now the people who are fighting with the creatures of the dark on the streets are all low-level demons, and Roland and they can't find a medium-level demon at all.
But Roland didn't believe it, all the middle demons had moved to other places, after all, this was the base camp of demons, they would definitely not give up here, and there was no other place to go at all!
The Cross Wall divides the city of Evener into four similar districts, with no scenes from the other blocks in sight. Fortunately, Roland and the others are now located very close to the intersection of the cross wall, and there are roads between different blocks under the corners.
Roland led Sakura to dodge the falling rocks on the wall and the two sides fighting around him, while rushing straight through the cross wall, intending to look for clues in other areas.
Rushing through the long wall hole, they quickly came to the South Zone. The situation here is similar to that of the East Side, with bloodstained wreckage and demons and underworld creatures fighting each other everywhere.
However, the terrain here is much higher than that of the East District, and Roland seems to feel a different atmosphere, and begins to move slowly along the corner.
Sakura was a little puzzled by Roland's current behavior, but because of his trust in him, he didn't say anything, just followed Roland.
They walked for more than twenty minutes before they finally came to a statue in the center of the South District. Strangely enough, although the statue is an abstract figure, like a cloud of mist, the statue is so well made that it is difficult to associate it with the demons of rough construction.
Roland reached out and fumbled around the statue's pedestal, and then found a hidden clasp.
After Roland opened the secret button, he found that there was a secret passage under the statue, and the space inside seemed to be not small!
Without any hesitation, Roland began to walk down.
If Roland wasn't mistaken, this should be a place similar to a shelter, and there are probably a lot of mid-level demons in it. So Roland reminded Sakura to be mentally prepared first, even if he really saw so many demons at that time, he wouldn't be shocked.
Sakura nodded at Roland, grabbed his arm but began to gradually become a little harder, Roland could clearly feel the nervousness and uneasiness in Sakura's heart.
Roland glanced back at Sakura and found that although her expression was calm now, her face was a little pale. Roland knew that along the way, Sakura's heart was also under a lot of pressure, after all, it really took a lot of courage to come directly to the demon's lair.
Roland knew that Sakura's heart was nervous and uneasy, as well as fearful. But Sakura, in order not to worry Roland, deliberately forced himself not to show it. Roland suddenly felt that he was very sorry for Sakura, because this matter had nothing to do with Sakura, and Roland shouldn't have involved her in the first place!
In order to calm Sakura's nervousness, Roland stopped and retied the cloak that Sakurakaze had just spread out during the run. Sakura didn't seem to expect Roland to do this, and he seemed a little overwhelmed and slightly stunned.
But Roland could feel this stunned, making Sakura not as nervous as before.
Roland looked into Sakura's eyes, put the hat back on her, and comforted her, "Sakura, it's okay." Intermediate demons are very weak, and they can think rationally, not as ferocious as those demons outside, don't be nervous even if you really encounter any accidents later, I will definitely protect you! ”
Sakura nodded trustingly.
The two of them went all the way down from the tunnel and found that although the space inside was not small, the level of the building was quite simple.
Due to the uneven terrain and complex surface composition, even the underground shelter is only shallow. In addition, the craftsmanship when building this place was not very good, so now when Roland and the others walk inside, as long as they look up, they can see the scene on the street outside through the gaps between the materials. With the vibrations from time to time, sand and soil fell, and Roland was even a little worried that those larger, low-level demons might trample on these stone slabs with a few jumps!
Roland quickly headed inside with Sakura, and it wasn't long before the two of them came to an open hall.
The environment of this hall is simple, more like a simple underground room with a pit dug underground. Through the gap in the ceiling above his head, Roland could clearly see the scene of the fight outside. From time to time, blood would drip down, causing a smell of blood to fill the entire space.
The hall was crowded with half-human-tall demons, huddled together, painful expressions on their faces. Most of them were wearing simple costumes, and they should all be the mid-level demons that Roland was looking for!
Roland wanted to find a hidden place to hide his whereabouts first, but there was really nothing here, so he and Sakura could really only make a "shining debut" in front of everyone.
When the demons saw the two of them appear, they suddenly became a mess and began to flee in all directions!
This made Roland and Sakura a little overwhelmed, they didn't understand why the demons were so flustered!
Although Roland knew that in such an environment, everyone's spirit was in a tense state, but the performance of these demons was obviously too much.
And although Roland and Sakura have covered up the smell on their bodies, these demons should still be able to tell at a glance that the two of them are humans.
Medium demons themselves rely on contracts with humans to obtain souls, so the number of humans they come into contact with on weekdays should be quite large. So it's clear that Roland and they are in a weak position, so why are these demons' reactions so violent?
Seeing the demon's reaction like this, Sakura's courage became a lot bigger. She stepped forward from behind Roland and approached a demon who had fallen from the chaos and had no time to escape. The demon immediately became startled and began to roar, "Mage! Stay away from me......"
The little devil lying on the ground struggled on the ground, and at the same time showed a very frightened expression, his feet kept kicking the ground, and he looked a little mentally abnormal.
Sakura felt a little incredible, so she wanted to step forward and take a closer look.
As a result, Sakura Feng had just taken a step when a short figure stood in front of the demon on the ground, revealing a hideous expression on his face, as if warning Sakura not to approach!
Sakura didn't seem to notice the demon's warning at all, but squatted down and said gently, "Is he poisoned?" Can you show me? ”
The demon standing in front of him was stunned for a moment, and then showed an expression of disbelief: "Is there a way you can save him?" "It seems that the condition of the demon on the ground really made Sakura Wind right.
Sakura nodded slightly.
After much hesitation, the demon in front of him finally compromised. He cautiously stepped to the side, making room for Sakura.
