Chapter 54: Dried Corpses
There were a total of twenty-one dark warriors when they set out, and eight were abandoned in the Statue Snow Mountain, and there should have been thirteen more, but now there are only nine left, which means that four of them were missing when they went out to search just now.
The Dark Warriors are the top force of the Dark Council, but this journey to the west is really miserable, there is no strong man at all, and it is really unreliable to expect them.
Now we can only count on Cangwu, who has found a place that devours the wind and can use it as a breakthrough.
To be on the safe side, we couldn't spread out any longer, so I had to hold Cangwu and Guila, and the rest of us set off together.
We soon arrived at a snow pit half a kilometer from the low mountain.
This snow pit is about a meter deep, and there is also snow underneath, so I don't see anything strange.
However, the existence of the snow pit itself is very strange, it snows every day in the snowy area, and there should be any potholes that should have been filled in earlier.
Cang Wu looked at it for a while and said, "There is a very strange aura down there, but it's not a magic breath, I'm hard to be sure." ”
Will the Dark Warrior be sucked in? None of us can act rashly, Glenn pulled out the rope and said let one of them go down and test it first.
He tied up a dark warrior and made him crawl down the pit.
The snow pit was only one meter, and the Dark Warrior stepped on it to the bottom, but it didn't sink.
Glenn made him jump a few times, and he stumbled, stepping heavily on the snow, but the puddle still didn't respond.
Just when everyone was wondering, the Gola in my arms suddenly screamed, and jumped off the ground and rolled in pain.
We were startled, and I quickly pressed Gola down, her eyes closed and she looked like she was having a nightmare.
At the same time, the puddle collapsed, and the dark warrior fell in the blink of an eye, and if Glenn hadn't reacted and lost the rope, he would have been brought in.
After the Dark Warrior fell, the puddle was immediately covered in snow around it and returned to its original state.
I picked up Gura and walked away from the pit, and the rest of the people quickly moved away, now that the situation is not right, we need to find out what Gura is doing first.
Gila lost consciousness and kept screaming and rolling around for a while before she stopped and fell into a coma.
Her fangs seemed to be getting longer, and her lips were two large fangs, which looked scary.
Glenn was terrified, "Is Miss Guila evolving? Why are her teeth getting sharper and sharper?" ”
Glenn nodded: "Dark creatures can evolve, but few species have evolved in recent centuries, and the evolutionary inheritance has long been lost." ”
Gila had also screamed when she had nightmares before, and she didn't know it at all, but now she suddenly screamed again, afraid that something under the snow was affecting her.
Gülen also analyzed: "The Ancient Demon Castle of the Dark Council is in this area, which contains the most primitive inheritance of the Dark Council, as well as the most terrifying dark creatures, Miss Gila is also a dark creature, maybe she sensed it." ”
That makes sense, and I said what do you think you should do? Why don't you retreat first?
Gülen was naturally not happy, saying that he had come here with a lot of difficulty, and he couldn't retreat, and now he could assume that the dark creatures were playing ghosts, as long as he forced them back.
He's still a bit of a brain, and I'm reminded of the purpose of my visit, which is to deter dark creatures.
I nodded and yelled at the dragon in the direction of the snow pit. The dragon's groan rose into the sky, piercing the dead silence of the snow, and the sound had reached the ground.
But in a moment, the puddle of snow collapsed with a thud, revealing a swarthy hole.
I leaned over and saw that it was a deep well-like opening, leading deep underground.
Glenn smiled: "Sure enough, the dark creatures are playing ghosts, they are scared away, we can go in." ”
Glenn's idea is still too naïve, he wants to enter the snow pit when it is opened, and he is not afraid of being killed if he goes in.
I said then you lead the way, I want to protect the sharks and vampires, and I can't take the lead.
He shrunk his neck and commanded the Dark Warrior: "Cheer up, it's time to go in, the staff is ready, it's your turn to strike." ”
The dark warriors all pulled out their staffs, and finally got a little momentum.
Then Glenn found the rope again, and in pairs lowered them down to make the way. The entrance to the cave was very deep, maybe fifty or sixty meters, and there was no light, and when one entered it, it was as if it had disappeared.
But I could see clearly, staring inside the hole, the dark warriors entered one by one, and reached the end without incident.
I was relieved, and finally I went in with Cangwu and Rosea.
Gila is still unconscious, and she must be taken with her, or she will freeze to death.
It felt much warmer when he entered the depths of the cave, and with a movement of his fingers, a flame lit up, illuminating the neighborhood.
The neighborhood is not as rocky as expected, but an empty corridor with many ancient pillars. I looked around and could see a figure standing around the corner at the end of the hallway.
The Dark Warriors also found out and stood on guard to listen to Gülen's arrangement. Glenn looked around for a long time before he was shocked, "Is this a corner of the underground palace? Maybe this is the Dark Castle, covered in snow, and we are now in a corridor of the ancient castle." ”
He was so slow to react, I said don't be shocked just yet, look at the dark shadow around the corner.
Only then did he realize that he hurriedly commanded the dark warrior: "Go over and take a look." ”
The two dark warriors approached cautiously, the staff in their hands had lit up with a dark red light, containing very powerful magical energy, they were indeed considered strong.
Soon, the two dark warriors reached the corner, and they checked the immobile black shadow before lifting it up and walking back.
Glenn breathed a sigh of relief and led us over.
The shadow was a dried corpse, wrapped in the classic robes of the Dark Council, with nothing but skin and bones left on its body, and no flesh at all.
"It's the dark warrior who fell just now, but I didn't expect it to be sucked dry. ”
Frightened and heartbroken, Glenn once again ordered the Dark Warrior to come closer and never go missing again.
I didn't care, I had already guessed that it was the unfortunate guy who had just fallen.
This time I'm here to lead the way, and they're a bit unreliable.
Striding around the corner, there was another corridor, completely submerged in snow, revealing only a low passageway, and a lot of snow had been accumulated as hard as ice, and what was even more terrifying was that there were many caves of various sizes in the snow, as if something was digging in the snow.
"It could be the passage of some dark creatures, they are hiding in the passage waiting for an opportunity, we need to be careful. ”
Glenn asked the Dark Warrior to clear the way again, and I shook my head and looked at Cangwu, "Cangwu, how about a fire dragon?"
Cangwu was in high spirits and immediately cast a fire forbidden magic.
The familiar fire dragon had grown a lot bigger, but it was still able to burrow into the corridor, and with a few fingers, the dragon roared into the passage with endless heat.
The nearby snow and ice began to melt, and the fire dragon lit up the corridor, and the ice became transparent.
Then I saw the dried corpses in the ice, and it was a strangely shaped corpse, not a human race, all shriveled and covered in snow, and there were even several of them in the ice next to us.
Gülen's face turned pale: "Vampire bats, mothmen, owls...... It's all the dried corpses of dark creatures!"
There were so many dried corpses in the snow and ice in this corridor alone, they were killed, or starved to death, and then frozen in snow?
The sight was a little terrifying, the fire dragon had passed through the corridor, wreaking havoc everywhere to melt the ice and snow.
Cangwu also performed a purification technique, which accelerated the melting of ice and snow.
We must wait for the snow and ice to melt before moving forward, otherwise we will be looking for death, and there will be no way out when we encounter danger.
I said no hurry, let's fill my stomach first, and let Cangwu take his time.
I put Gila on the ground, a strange hissing sound coming from her throat, but she still hadn't woken up.
The rest of the people ate dry food to fill their stomachs, and I watched Cangwu as she melted the ice and snow intently, sweat on her little face.
The ice and snow in the corridor had melted, and the dried corpses had all smashed to the ground, turning into splinters, and even their clothes were shattered.
The fire dragon didn't know where it had gone, and a few roars were heard in the distance. When the building at the end of the corridor was revealed, Cangwu lost her strength and came to lie on my lap, panting.
The building was a small castle, ornamental, with snow and ice melting on the dome, and a river had formed on the ground.
Gülen stared at the castle and was very excited: "Sure enough, it is the Ancient Demon Castle, according to the direction, this is the Guardian Demon Castle on the left, and there is a chain bridge on the other side, we can walk from the bridge to the Dark Demon Castle!"
However, the place outside this small castle was full of thick ice and snow, and the Dark Demon Castle was already frozen in ice and snow, how could it be possible to walk through?
I said don't rejoice too soon, and be vigilant.
As the group got up to enter the little castle, I turned around and hugged Gila and was taken aback because Gura was gone!
At this time, Cangwu also covered his chest and snorted in pain, his face full of doubts: "Fire Dragon...... Eaten?"
