(522) Go forward
Torches crackled, and the dim light of the fire reflected long figures on the damp walls,
There is water flowing in the cracks of the masonry underfoot, which is caused by the underground water infiltration due to the tunnels being dug too deep.
Seeing the damp mud footprints on the ground, the voodoo cultist, who was forced to be a guide, said:
"It's not far away, at most a hundred meters."
Samantha became alert and commanded her subordinates:
"Open the gun safe, put on the bayonet, and get ready for battle."
There were a series of detours ahead, and after the third turn, the guide who was walking in front suddenly fell down with a hideous face, groaned a few times, and then lay on the ground and did not move.
"Stop!"
Samantha reached out and turned it over, and found that the poor ghost had a thin bamboo stick stuck in his forehead, and the end of the bamboo stick was faintly glowing green, and at a glance he knew that it had been quenched with poison.
"This unlucky guy is dead, it's some kind of poisonous needle, it's all a little hearty, there is an ambush."
As soon as the words fell, I could only hear "whoosh!" "Twice, it sounds like the sound of some sharp object cutting through the air,
"Heart!"
Andy's eyes were quick, and he picked up the antique shield that had been prepared to block the flying poisonous needles,
The old antiques from the Knights' War period finally came in handy, and this was still taken from the museum exhibition hall before everyone went underground, counting Andy's hand, a total of five antique shields were taken in case of emergency.
There was a faint sound of footsteps ahead, and the sneak attackers must have slipped away, not knowing where to ambush them.
Andy calmly analyzed:
"I didn't hear the sound of a bowstring just now, so it won't be a crossbow or a bow, it should be fired from a blowgun.
It's hard to guard against this thing without sound, but the shortcomings are also obvious, the range is not far, and the power is also, we move forward with a shield, and it's okay to pay attention. β
Looking at the black hole, the road full of unknown dangers, and looking at the corpses on the ground, a volunteer soldier hesitated:
"Boss, the enemy is in the dark, we are in the light, and now the guide is dead, shouldn't we ...... Retreat for a moment? Come back? β
"What? Do you want to run? Samantha retorted: "Coward! Are you scared? β
The soldier bowed his head in shame and did not dare to speak.
Andy persuaded: "Sa! It's all your own people, so be soft!
He's right, it stands to reason that we shouldn't go any further, it's too dangerous,
But we can't delay, we can't afford to wait,
Such an important city has been occupied by our rebels, and reinforcements from the cathars must be on their way, and if we want to avenge the victims, we must fight our way tonight!
Even if it is the tiger's den in Longtan, it is absolutely unforgivable that the suffering slave brothers and sisters are slaughtered and sacrificed as livestock!
Tonight, the murderer must pay! Otherwise, I won't be able to sleep! β
Hearing this, the rebel soldiers became extremely determined one by one, and they were eager to try:
"Boss, it's all up to you! The impregnable city has been defeated, and I am afraid that it will not succeed with a few poisonous needles? β
So, the procession went on, and one of the fighters volunteered to go to the front with a shield tied to the front of the shield, and a flintlock pistol in his right hand.
"Woohoo!" Three poisonous needles flew from above and nailed him to his neck, and the poison immediately attacked, and the warrior fell to the ground and died.
"Upper!" Andy quickly raised his shield above his head, blocking the poisonous needles flying towards him, and saved Samantha's life with him.
"Directly above us! Fire! β
"Phew!"
Andy raised his shotgun and pulled the trigger, and the fire of more than thirty guns quickly followed,
Something fell from above and slammed to the ground, and the narrow passage was filled with gunsmoke that made everyone cough and shiver.
When they were finally able to see clearly, they found five bodies lying on the groundβ
Two of the rebel warriors were stiff and foaming at the mouth, apparently poisoned to death, and three of the bodies were of the ambushers.
These three people are not white-skinned from Solan, but a tropical archipelago race with dark skin and thick lips and curly hair.
Everyone had more than one bullet on their bodies, and the worst-looking one was shot twice in the head, and his brain was bleeding all over the ground.
Andy bowed his head and examined the corpse of the enemy:
"Looking at their costumes, they are all members of the cathars, so put our bodies in a straight position and bury them together when we go back."
The crowd continued to advance with their shields in their hearts, and the few detours ahead were never attacked again.
Eventually, the underground road became open, and inside was a series of halls, which became wider and wider as you went deeper.
passed through two heavy stone gates in a row, and did not encounter traps or ambushes,
Lit kerosene lamps hung on the walls of each room, and strange shrines were placed on the floor, which contained statues of ugly-faced creatures, presumably the cult cult of voodoo.
"Shh......h Don't make a sound, there's movement ahead. β
Everyone came to the hall at the end of the road, which was tall and wide, and they could smell the smell of burning incense.
The dim light illuminates a thin layer of incense mist, creating an atmosphere of danger that is both real and illusory, as if entering a nightmare
There were no armed guards in the hall, and upon closer inspection, there was no sign of a hidden weapon.
The ground in the center of the hall is carved with a huge twelve-pointed star circle symbol,
Strange writing next to it was written in blood, and twelve high-ranking priests in white hooded burqas stood in a circle, muttering words in their mouths.
"Hello! Hello! Bastards! Samantha shouted with her pistol raised.
A high-ranking priest glanced at the group, only snorted, and then tilted his head contemptuously to ignore it.
"Phew!"
Samantha shot one of the priests in the hood, causing it to slip off, revealing a bald head tattooed with patterned text, and the man only shuddered slightly at the sound of the gunshot, still concentrating on chanting the incantation.
"What for? Stop! Accept the righteous judgment! Samantha said angrily.
A high priest said to his companion in a strange language:
"Ignore the shrew, continue our ritual, and it will be successful in no time, and then these slave cubs will all die!"
"Hey! What are you muttering there? Samantha waved her men to disperse, pointing her guns at each of the twelve priests, and the atmosphere became tense.
Suddenly, blood oozed from the twelve-pointed star circle on the ground, and emitted a strange blue light.
A blue ball of light rose into the air, bursting out with miniature lightning bolts, emitting a "zizi...... crackling".
The ball of light became larger and larger, gradually forming a circle of light suspended in the air, and the scene of another world appeared in the aperture.
Strangely shaped buildings, polluted water, and abominable-looking, wriggling creatures.
