(295) Ambushed
When William Einfurt finished reading this paragraph,
The torches crackled, and the dim glow of the kerosene lamps shone on the protruding shrine in the wall, casting a long shadow,
The quartz stones on the tunnel walls reflected blue and red light, making the whole surrounding environment strange and even more eerie.
"I have a bold guess." William whispered:
"When the strangers entered the castle, in order to prevent others from entering, they used a special method to block the gates of the outer city.
Then, with the blood of our poor, patrol members, a voodoo circle was drawn on the outer wall, and they teleported directly to the rain chamber in some strange way, so that it would explain why there were no footprints along the way. ”
"Really...... It's getting more and more bizarre, it's like we're stepping into the realm of dreams, getting farther and farther away from the real world,"
Victor commented: "William, your conjecture...... It sounds a bit like space magic described in ancient books. ”
"I don't want to believe it either," Master William spread his hands helplessly, "But the reality is that the footprints of the heretics suddenly appeared in the basement, and I can't draw any other conclusions except teleportation magic." ”
"Damn! I wish it was all a dream! Victor pinched the back of his hand hard, trying to determine if he was conscious:
"Hmm...... It's true that we're not in a dream, it's all reality, it's unbelievable that these unbelievable things are actually happening. ”
Victor looked at the shrines on the walls of the tunnel and said uneasily, "Look at the gods worshipped by the pagans, we have a little more heart,"
The gendarmes approached one of the shrines, looked inside, and were taken aback:
"Na! What a daring outlie these heretics!
He even openly engaged in demon worship! Look at the shrine on the wall! It's full of abominable demons and monsters! The walls are carved with corrupt, depraved, ungodly scenes! ”
"When we set off...... The church pastor in town should be brought here......"
Faced with these blasphemous statues and paintings in front of them, five local volunteers from Wusong Town trembled with fear.
The three militiamen, in particular, drew crosses on their chests, clutched icon talismans in their palms, and prayed incessantly: "Gods bless, demons disperse!" ”
Victor stroked his beard, and he tried to keep himself calm:
"With the information available, let's do a brief analysis.
According to the surviving eyewitnesses, the trespassers were dark-skinned, lanky gringos, dressed in the attire of the southern tropical islands.
From the terrifying statues in these shrines to the strange circles on the walls, there is good reason to prove that there is demonic worship on the other side, and these people are trying to harness some indescribable, dark and chaotic power.
I can now be fairly certain that the gringos who entered the country illegally were the emissaries of the Soskaya Voodoo cult.
Many, many years ago, they had lured the feudal lord Count Brandon into an evil voodoo cult and murdered the innocent townspeople of Fog Pine, and now, more than 800 years later, these strangers are back to do evil! ”
"I think that's the case." William nodded in agreement:
"No matter what unspeakable things these gringos try to achieve, nothing good will happen, and they are like the scourge of astrologers, which, once they appear, will bring endless plague and death."
"Boom!" In the depths of the long and narrow underground tunnel, there was another loud noise, which shook the stones in the tunnel back and forth, and the dust on the shrine was also shaken loose and fell down.
"The voice is coming from the front, and it seems that we are not wrong."
Seeing that the torches were about to burn out, the gendarmes took off a kerosene lamp hanging on the wall:
"Those heretics should be in there, perhaps...... They're doing some kind of dark and terrifying ritual, I think...... Our captured patrolmen must have been unlucky. ”
"So what are we waiting for? Just go in and see! ”
With that, Princess Edgar took her tomahawk and rushed to the front of the group again.
Young Master William issued a warning: "Edgar! Be careful, stop! We are in the light, the enemy is in the dark, beware of traps and ambushes! ”
But the wayward princess not only didn't stop, but also turned her head and grimaced at him:
"I'm a warrior of Valsta, born in the open, so that I don't sneak around like a mouse, and I'm going to rush in with my head held high and wipe out this hellish place! Just like Her Majesty the Mother Queen did in the war back then! ”
Edgar did not heed the advice, and with her night vision, she strode into the darkness, and her reckless behavior finally brought danger to herself.
"Whew!"
With the sound of a sharp object cutting through the air, a dark shadow flew towards her from the far end of the tunnel.
"Na! There is an ambush! O heart! Edgar! No!!! ”
William was so anxious that he was about to cry, and at that moment, he felt that he was about to lose her.
The tunnel was already dark and narrow, and it seemed that it was unavoidable, but Princess Edgar Midknight was not an ordinary person, she inherited the divine blood power of Emperor Valstad, and at this time, her eyes were sharp, and she could already see the threat in front of her.
A slender arm lifted up at lightning speed, and the volley grabbed the swift flying object.
She looked down and saw in her hand a short, crudely made arrow, with a little emerald green ointment dipped in it, apparently quenched with poison.
"Humph! Carving insect skills, what a good tooth! She said contemptuously, and then pressed hard with her thumb, and with a clatter, she broke the arrow in her hand and threw it aside.
"Come out for me! You coward! She carried the axe and shouted loudly as she continued to walk.
"Hey! It's stupid! How can anyone take the initiative to expose themselves! Victor cursed and rushed to help.
"Whew!"
Another black shadow shot out, and this time, Princess Edgar had already prepared, "When! With a thud, she used her axe to block the second arrow.
"I see you! Suffer death! With that, she leaned down and pulled out the dagger from her boot and threw it with all her might.
"Oops!"
There was a muffled grunt in the distance, followed by the sound of falling to the ground.
"Stop! I'll go over and have a look! ”
In order to prevent more arrows from flying over, Victor took a shield from the wall to protect himself, and held a kerosene lamp in his other hand.
After advancing about thirty or forty steps, I finally saw the figure of the sneak attacker, a tall and thin man in a robe, who was already lying on the Lin at the moment, motionless.
Victor pressed the other party's neck, not feeling the pulse: "This guy is dead." "Him.
