Chapter 3: The Heart of the Euronuclear (1)
Europe, France, Nice.
"Run! Fast! "In a dim, narrow, damp passageway, the voice of urgency echoes briefly.
Smack!
A dark shadow flashed on the stone wall illuminated by the dim yellow light, and one foot stepped on the waterlogged ground, making a crisp sound, and the water splashed and slapped against the mossy stone wall.
The figure quickly shuttled through the narrow passage that could only accommodate two people in parallel, and the damp, dim, and smelly passage brought a heavy pressure to the spirit.
Judging from the figure, it can be vaguely seen that it is a man's figure, and the sound of rapid breathing and the hurried appearance all indicate that the man is running away and hiding from something.
The man is not the kind of burly body with five big and three thick, which is necessary for him to be able to run quickly in such a narrow secret passage.
However, despite his thin stature, the man has a strong muscle, and the power he can burst out is not inferior to those who participate in powerlifting, or even surpassing.
Of course, there is a reason for this, but it is more because the man has taken a booster, a thunder liquid booster from a mysterious and powerful family.
This family is called the Augustinian family.
In front of him is a corner, the man steps on the ground full of water, to the right side, the left foot supports the ground, the body is tilted, the hind leg is slightly bent to exert force, and the force is kicked hard, controlling the body with great inertia to turn right.
However, when the man turned right saw the stone wall blocked in front of him, his face changed, could it be that this secret passage was sealed, it was not open at all.
The man touched the stone wall that sealed the way forward, and like the secret passage, it was made of huge stones, and it was undoubtedly a fool's dream to open it with manpower.
There was pain in his back, the wound whipped at his nerves, and the man took two steps back, leaning against one wall, despite the dampness of the wall and the moss on it.
The cold sensation invaded his back, relieving the pain, and the man's clenched back molars gradually loosened.
Looking down at the things wrapped in black cloth in his arms, thinking that his comrades were desperately covering him and he couldn't send things out, the man sighed and was a little disheartened.
With the faint light of the old-fashioned kerosene lamp on the wall, the man's tired face could be vaguely seen, but in addition to exhaustion, it was more dejected.
Suddenly, the man raised his head, and a pair of eyes were staring at the kerosene lamp, shining!
The kerosene lamp is on, indicating that someone has been refueling it, at least recently!
This is the last secret passage, which has been sealed all the time, and will only be activated when the situation is very urgent, in order to ensure that one day when other secret passages are attacked and cannot get through, the most important things of the family can be sent out.
The entrance to the secret passage when he came was blown open, which means that the person who added fuel to the kerosene lamp must have come in from the other side of the secret passage.
There must be an exit nearby! The man picked up his things and left the wall in pain, his hands groping around the kerosene lamp and the wall near it, looking for hidden mechanisms.
After fumbling for nothing, the man put his target on the stone wall that sealed the exit in front and the stone wall behind him, and carefully groped for it stone by stone.
The damp and muddy moss mixed with the mud stained his hands, but the man didn't even notice the shadow of the mechanism.
At this moment, the sound of chaotic footsteps and the crispness of treading water suddenly came from the direction he came, although the sound was loud, but it was much smaller than a man in each step.
It's just that, in addition to the sound of footsteps and water, there is also a crisp metal sound, as if the armor is shaking.
The man's body tensed up for a moment, his face changed greatly, he leaned against the wall, listening to the footsteps from far and near, and his spirit became extremely vigilant and nervous.
Actually chased in, these ghostly guys, the man said in his heart.
At the same time, anger and grief poured out of his heart, and the enemy poured into the secret passage, which meant that the comrades who covered him were all sacrificed, and he was now the only one left in the special forces that had been famous on the battlefield and had now been collectively retired.
The Adam's apple rolls, the man doesn't know what to do, the enemy is obviously not one, there are at least ten people listening to the footsteps, that kind of monster, he is not an opponent at all, let alone ten?
The humid air and approaching footsteps were suffocating, and every step of the enemy's advance pressed the hearts of men.
The heart had already risen to his throat, the man's breathing pressure was at its lowest, and the Adam's apple did not dare to roll, as if this almost negligible sound could attract the attention of the enemy.
There is no way, I can only fight to the death, at least I have to pull a cushion back to avenge my comrades! Death is coming, but the man's eyes become determined.
Smack!
A foot stretched out from the corner of the man's side and stepped on the water, and the water splashed, and the droplets of water that became crystal clear in the dim yellow light reflected the figure of the man who was moving.
With a flying kick, with great force, the man kicked on the hard armor, but even more powerful was the short, immobile figure.
Airplanes!
The sound of the sword rang out, and the sword light lit up, illuminating the corner, and the scarlet round eyes and platinum armor came into the man's eyes, and at the same time, a three-foot-long bronze sword slashed at him.
The breath of death in an instant oppressed the man so much that he couldn't breathe, and the hairs on his whole body stood up, he didn't hide, it was too late.
With his hands clenched around the contents of his arms, he closed his eyes and greeted the arrival of death.
Sharp sword qi emanated from the bronze long sword, and it took the lead in attacking the man before the blade arrived.
At the moment of crisis, a hand suddenly reached out from behind the man and wrapped his arms around his waist, and then the huge force came, and his body retreated uncontrollably.
The sudden change caught the man who was ready to die off guard, and when he reacted, with a bang, the bronze sword had fallen from in front of him and slashed on the hard ground.
I don't know when, there was an extra hole in the stone wall behind which the exit was originally sealed, which was only large enough to accommodate one person at the same time, and in front of the entrance stood an old white man with white hair, who saved the man.
"Mr. Humphrey!" The man was surprised and delighted.
"Get out of here, Chief Osmond is waiting for you outside and give him your things." Hogan let go of his hand around the man's waist and pushed him out of the hole with his backhand, dodging in front of the hole.
A punch slammed into a stone wall, shattering the seemingly hard stone, along with the mechanism that controlled the exit in the stone.
There was no loud noise, and the stone door was closed from the outside of the hole, sealing the hole and merging perfectly with the stone wall, as if it were a solid stone wall without a door.
"Look for death!" The unsuccessful attack said angrily.
With a pop, he pulled out the bronze long sword that had half of the sword body submerged into the ground, and the scarlet round eyes gushed out the essence of killing intent, and he walked towards the old man, and the companions behind him followed one after another.
"The task assigned by the young lady must be completed with quality and quantity." Stared at by a pair of scarlet round eyes, Hogan's face did not change, and he took out a military thorn from the back of his waist, although his hair and beard were white, but a pair of eyes baptized by energy years were shining.
"Kill!"
The environment inside and outside the stone wall is completely different, and outside the cave entrance is a luxuriously decorated hall, with bright floors, expensive furniture, bright blankets, and literary murals...... All are European aristocratic style.
Beneath the mural of "The Storming of the Bastille" is a stone wall, but the stone wall is decorated as a fireplace, and the floor in front of the stone wall is stained with mud and water, and there is a little moss, and the man who was rescued by Hogan has just left.
About three minutes after the man left the hall, a man dressed in a dark red robe walked in, his head covered with a wide robe, revealing only a pair of black and yellow eyes.
In his left hand, he held a dark red scythe, with a crescent-shaped body dripping with blood, and a two-meter-long hilt, giving people a strong sense of visual oppression, while in his right hand, he was holding something wrapped in black cloth that was originally carried by the man.
It was a crystal clear crystal, the white mist on the outside rose, the light inside criss-crossed, the core of heaven and earth, the "heart of the European core"!
At this time, outside the palatial palace, corpses were strewn all over the field, and more than a dozen miserable corpses were lying in and out of five off-road vehicles, two of which were men and the chief steward named "Rudolf Osmond".
Without exception, the dead lost their heads, the incisions on their necks were smooth and flat, and warm blood gushed out like a fountain, staining the ground, the lawn, and the steps......
Almost as soon as the man in the dark red robe walked in front of the "fireplace", the stone wall shattered with a bang.
The dark red scythe flew, and the flying stones were cut out three meters away from the dark red robed man.
With a pitch-black face and scarlet round eyes, one by one the short palace guards walked out of the secret passage, the three-foot-long bronze sword exuded a chill, and the white-gold flowing cloud armor shone brightly.
"The task is completely entrusted to you, and the thing has already flown off." The man in the dark red robe reprimanded in a low voice.
The palace guards lowered their heads, not daring to refute, they were already ineffective, and if they refute again, they would be directly punished.
"Why is there one missing? What about people? The man in the dark red robe glanced at and asked, two had died in the secret room before, and there were ten left, but now only nine had come out.
Many of the palace guards parted, revealing the corpse of the old man in the secret passage.
"Tam Ji Du Temple, Yu Tuo was accidentally killed by him." A palace guard glanced at the corpse on the ground and whispered.
"A bunch of rubbish!" The voices of the men in dark red robes were unusually cold, their situation was not good, and every time they lost a piece of strength, their danger would be greater.
The palace guards lowered their heads and did not dare to squeak, it was indeed a shame for their immortal legion to be pulled on the back by such an unkempt old fellow.
"The pursuing centaurs are coming, go now!" The man in the dark red robe said solemnly, "Lift my spirits on the road, the people who are chasing are not the same as the people you just dealt with, those guys are far more tricky than them, once we are entangled, we will all die!" ”
"Tam Ji Du Palace, why didn't the lords of the palace come? There is the Lord of the Palace, and the rookies are as many as they die. A palace guard asked.
As the sworn enemy of the Immortal Legion, the name of the Rookie Club spread to the Sword Tomb through the mouth of the palace forty years ago, and caused a lot of movement among the Immortal Legion.
"Several palace lords have something to do, and they can't come for the time being, and the support of the legion is too far, and we have to rely on ourselves for a long way in the future, so ...... You must cherish every strength, do you understand? ”
"Yes!"
At this moment, the man in the dark red robe seemed to sense something, looked in one direction through the glass, and said softly, "It's really fast." ”
If he wasn't mistaken, the people from the Rookie Club should have already arrived outside this private estate, but there were very few people, and the danger was not strong.
"Let's go, we are a few people, but we are not enough to stuff the enemy's teeth." As he spoke, the man in dark red robe walked towards the back door of the hall.
