In the first few days of his journey into the earth, Aluka began to believe in magic. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 The reason why info says that it is not known for a few days is because they have already walked in the path under the coffin, and they have long lost the concept of time. The torches ran out on the first day, and there was not much dry food left. Luckily, the trail often bumps into underground rivers, allowing them to drink the groundwater from the tip of their teeth to their throats and from their throats to their hearts. Moreover, the surrounding earth walls are covered with a strange layer of fluorescent moss that keeps them from scratching.

And the food ...... This is why Aluka has come to believe in magic. In this path that leads to the underground, I don't know how deep, lives a strange creature. In appearance, these creatures are like rats that have become more than ten times larger, except that their fangs are as long as saber-toothed tigers, their forelimbs are half a meter long, they have three sharp nails like Wolverine, and their hind legs are knotted, similar to Tyrannosaurus rex, and they run extremely fast. These mutant rats have no eyes, or their eyes have long since degenerated, and seem to rely on sound and smell to tell their way. Given that there are no other creatures in this path, the mutant rats naturally have only their own kind of food source...... This creature is nothing less than extremely ferocious. When they noticed fresh flesh and blood in their territory, they rushed towards Aluca's group like sharks smelling blood.

If it weren't for the fact that there was a powerful mercenary in the team who could easily take over the real knights, Cui Hak, with the kung fu of the three-legged cat of Aluka and others, it is estimated that they would have been wiped out long ago. Along the way, Aluka and his two senior brothers only did one thing, which was to stand by Henry's side to prevent a sneak attack by rats that slipped through the net, and most of the enemies were taken care of by Trihak. Once that's done, the mutant rats become their food.

In the beginning, even Choi Hak didn't dare to eat these rats, fearing that the rats would be poisonous in their bodies. In the end, it was Aluka who was the first to eat crabs, and his reason was simple: since there was no other way, someone had to try it first. Since you don't want to try, I'll do it. As time dragged on, the destination was far away, and the others had to join the rat-eating process, and since they had no means to make a fire, they had to eat it raw. The pampered and graceful national teacher has become a barbarian who drinks blood.

But so far, there has been no sign of any supernatural powers...... This really made Aruka a little sad.

Human beings are very fragile creatures. No matter how you try to hone yourself, there are limits. At least in an environment like underground, it is difficult for even the strongest people to survive. Gloomy environments, terrifying rats, cold groundwater, disgusting food, endless journeys and unpredictable destinations...... Even if the body persists, the spirit will gradually collapse.

The initiator of the mission, Master Henry, was full of confidence at the beginning, but now he also looks decadent, and his cloudy eyes are full of despair, no different from an ordinary old man who is about to die. He was not afraid of losing his life, he was just afraid that the ruins mentioned in the ancient books were really just legends, and the Rhine Kingdom would fall into a situation from which it would never recover. Doubts deepened in his heart day by day, and he could only take out a beautifully bound dark red book from his bosom from time to time by the glow of fluorescent moss, hoping to find some solace in it.

It is an ancient book passed down from generation to generation by the royal family of the Rhine, which records the secrets of the Sun King's bloodline, including many secrets that even the Red Pope did not know, and this remains in the cemetery of the king's illegitimate son are one of them. However, most of the secrets have not been verified, and if there is no other way, the king of the Rhine will not make such a decision. As Aluca said, it would be child's bald to hand over the fate of a kingdom to a few mercenaries and an old man with half a foot in a coffin. This kind of thing can only be found in a novel of individual heroism, or in an American blockbuster that does not exist in this world.

However, it can also be seen that the king of the Rhine has complete trust in Henry, and the teacher of Henry is 100% loyal to the Rhine royal family. These qualities were incomprehensible and admirable to Aluca, a man from another world, while silently saying that you are not fucking sick in the brain. With this skill, it is better to go to the east and west sides of the mainland to find reinforcements and tell them the truth about the cold lips and teeth.

I don't know when it began, the two masters and apprentices of Aluka and Trehak, who were always arguing on weekdays, fell silent. Fight numbly, advance numbly, chew raw meat numbly, swallow ice water numbly...... The look in their eyes became more and more gray, and no matter how calm and rational people were, it was difficult for them to face the journey with no end in sight.

The green-haired covenant was even more unbearable, and when he ran out of arrows, he also picked up his sword, but no one expected him to kill the mutated rats. Even after a few years as a mercenary, killing robbers and driving away wolves, he is still a peasant boy in his bones. From the very beginning, he had no expectations for this mission, he did not believe in the existence of magic, and he did not believe that he would make it to the end alive. If he hadn't dared to disobey the orders of the national teacher, he might have escaped before entering this path leading to the underground. It was unthinkable for the commoners to disobey the will of the nobility. It can even be said that this kind of thought does not appear in their simple minds at all, just like a fish never thinks it can fly.

It's the eldest brother Xinong, who not only looks refreshed, but also works harder than Cui Hak. As Trehak grew physically exhausted and his skills became slower, Sinong took over the task of cleansing the enemy.

After many pauses to rest, Yopha finally collapsed. He fell to the ground, his hands over his skinny monkey-like face, and cried, "We're on our way to hell...... There will be no end to this road, and we will all die here. There are no relics at all, it's all a lie of the devil......"

Trihak leaned wearily against the rock wall, his back feeling wet and slippery with moss, but he couldn't care about it anymore, he just wanted to rest for a while. He glanced at his uncompetitive apprentice and said indifferently, "If you go underground, you can go to hell, and the White Sect's Bright Crusade has already discovered the entrance to hell." Besides, even if we plan to turn back, it will be too late, and we will only die of exhaustion on the way. All I fear now is that while we are wasting our time here, the army of the Hill Empire has already arrived at the gates of the Rhine Kingdom, and our great Rhine King His Majesty will be sent to a prostitute to work as a male prostitute. ”

"It's almost there...... It's almost there......" Henry was in a state of limp, muttering with a divine expression, "It's not too far away, I feel the power of the sun god......"

Trehack snorted, "Well, I hope my bastard daddy who died early can bless us."
