12. Danger
Ash stayed where he was, observed the trajectory of the machine, and then went into action.
When the machine truck arrives in front of Ash for the second time and begins its return journey, Ash follows closely.
In this way, he followed all the way to the end of the passage, and while the machine car changed direction, the ash made a big jump, climbed to the top of the machine car, and then jumped over with a palm of his hand.
As soon as he took two steps, the roar came from behind him, and the machine car actually went and returned. The first half of the ruins hasn't been explored yet, and the annoying machine car goes back and forth, and there is no end.
Seeing the approaching machine car, Ash's violent temper suddenly came up, and he directly opened the posture to accumulate strength, and a large fire storm took shape. In this fire storm, Ash deliberately released the power of the first fire. As the bayonet sword swung down, a loud explosion filled the ruins.
Reach out and bless yourself with a [shelter] prayer of faith to block the dust from rolling, and when the dust settles, there is only a pile of broken wood in front of you.
Still to destroy the comfort, the ashes are satisfied to remove the [shelter], raise the torch, and continue to go down.
This ruin resembles a zigzag structure, that is, a staircase structure. Turning downhill, then downhill, it is estimated that it is designed like this, which is convenient for the operation of the vehicle. Without the chase of the machine car, Ash explores more calmly.
All the way to the bottom, there were only a few skeletons stationed there, which made Ash feel wrong. Since there is such a trap as a machine car, there must be treasures that you want to protect.
Even if you are a different person to explore, you can't violently destroy the machine car like yourself, and you can use your dexterity to dodge, this ruin can't be so simple.
As Ash expected, there was only one heavily armored knight in the last burial chamber.
This kind of heavily armored knight is no longer a threat. Ash raised his shield and resisted the heavy knight's attack, taking advantage of the enemy's backlash, he first stabbed his sword through the gap in his knees.
A knight who loses a leg is even more defenseless.
When Ash was ready to knot the knight, the other man spoke.
"Fading one, wait a minute, while I'm sober, I have something to explain."
"Returning to the tree is a scam, I hope you can rescue [Ogray] trapped underground and let him rest in peace."
After saying that, without waiting for Ash to ask, the heavily armored knight cut himself off.
"Gan, it's another riddler, who knows who [Ogray] is, and what the tree is, I can't understand it, I hate the riddler!"
Ash complained while picking up the heavy knight's broadsword, although the bayonet sword is very flexible, but when encountering enemies with relatively high defense, it is better to use the greatsword. Moreover, the big sword can also be used in stance, and the most basic upward pick is very useful.
Although the heavily armored knight said a bunch of incomprehensible words, one thing is clear, this ruin still has underground space.
Ash held the torch and walked back, ready to search for any clues.
There are no corners in the entire passage except for the walls on the floor, and it stands to reason that there are no hidden rooms.
Suddenly, Ash remembered that when he followed the machine car before, there was a section of the ground that looked like a narrow bridge, with an abyss on both sides. At that time, Ash also thought that this was another trap, trying to make people who couldn't dodge fall to their deaths.
It seems that there is definitely something wrong with this design.
Once again, the ashes watched along both sides of the bridge, for there was no light and the torches could not be dropped. Ash had no choice but to face it down, unleashing a large fireball. As the fireball fell, there was a small raised platform.
It's this hidden design again, and the ashes are sighing except for sighing.
Clenching the hilt of his sword, holding the torch in his left hand, Ash jumped as lightly as he could.
I'm afraid that there is an enemy hiding underneath, and when he lands, come and sneak attack.
As soon as it touches the ground, whether there are enemies or not, the ash rolls forward and leaves the danger zone first.
"Bell, bell" Two sounds of metal colliding with the ground sounded, and Ash turned to see that the two little demons had raised their long swords again.
Ash slammed his right foot on the ground, pulled his greatsword to his chest with both hands, and when the two little demons overlapped, one lifted up and knocked the enemy into the air. Before the little devil could fall, another horizontal slash ended the battle.
That is, the little devil is light, so he can deal with it in this way. If 2 Heavy Knights are hidden, Ash will run to another room and block the door.
After defeating the little devil, the road ahead is barrier-free, and you can go directly to a hall smoothly.
The hall was very empty, with only a bridge connecting to the opposite side, and on the high platform on the opposite side, a treasure chest was placed.
This unattended scene made Ash can't help but have a toothache, and he can't help but recall the human-faced spider and the Mimic.
In particular, the Mimic forced Ash to develop the habit of slashing first every time he encountered a treasure chest.
Walking slowly to the bridge, the torch in his left hand came out of his hand and was thrown to the opposite side by the ashes.
The torches touched the ground, sparks flew everywhere, and no monsters appeared.
Ash didn't believe that there were no monsters hiding here, and he didn't try to find out, indicating that this hidden enemy was even more dangerous.
Continuing to move slowly, there was a sudden "pop", and it seemed that water droplets were dripping from the ceiling.
Ash slowly looked up, only to see a black shadow resembling a spider hovering on the ceiling directly above the treasure chest.
As for the dripping droplets, if you guessed correctly, it should be saliva.
Fortunately, the ashes were not found, and they were ready to be counted.
Carrying the big sword in his right hand, he didn't dare to relax, and the ashes had already come to the treasure chest, which was only one meter away from it.
As long as you dare to go up and open the treasure chest, the monsters hiding above will inevitably rush down and take the opportunity to attack yourself.
But Ash was prepared, and naturally thought of a way to deal with it.
In the last meter, the ashes rushed straight over, and did not stop in front of the treasure chest, directly stepped onto the high platform, and then jumped reflexively. At this time, from the ceiling, the monster that had just fallen in front of the treasure chest was dumbfounded, why didn't it make sense to play its cards? Before he could figure it out, the greatsword had smashed his skull, a monster similar to the one Ash had encountered when he first woke up.
"Wow", play with me, it's not enough to be qualified.
After taunting the monster's corpse, Ash stabbed the chest to make sure there was no danger and bent down to inspect his loot.
"Poof", a straight sword passed through the shoulders of Ash.
"Ah~" Ash roared, turned abruptly, and turned back with a sharp kick.
It's a pity that this kick only hit the opponent's shield.
When the other party removed the shield, Ash saw another monster and was careless.
Looking at the traces on the ground, the newly emerged monster had been hiding at the bottom of the bridge, waiting for the ashes to completely relax before making a sneak attack.
Without giving Ash a breather, the multi-handed monster brandished its other weapons and rushed over again.
His left arm could no longer be raised, and Ash could only hold the great sword in his right hand to resist it.
At this time, it is no longer suitable to continue fighting, and leaving the war is the best choice.
Then the way to life is on the bridge.
The ashes fought and retreated, and the multi-handed monster was so large that it couldn't dodge left or right when it came to the narrow bridge.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ash lifted his greatsword in one hand and began to gather the storm.
The multi-handed monster also sensed the danger, blocking the large shield in front of him, and the other arms swung weapons at the closer.
This time, the ash needed the impact of the storm, so it didn't mix in the embers.
As long as the multi-handed monster is hit, it is best to fall, and even if it does not fall, it will be unbalanced, and this is the best time for yourself to get out of battle.
With a "boom", the impact of the storm made the multi-handed monster stumble, and its body began to be unstable.
In order to stabilize its body, the multi-handed monster inserted several weapons into the bridge, and as a result, the bridge was overwhelmed and shattered.
At this time, the ash had not yet escaped the range of the bridge, and it also fell.
When the ash fell heavily on the rock, he was still conscious, ignoring the severe pain, and began to look around.
The multi-handed monster that fell with him was very miserable at this time, and was being swallowed by a yellow-purple monster in its mouth.
Isn't this corrupting dryads?
Looking at the monster in front of him, there was no mistake, it was the corrosive dryad that Ash and Roger had encountered in the giant face.
Ash now had no time to think about the one in front of him, which one he had encountered before, or the other, and had staggered to leave this place of right and wrong.
Unfortunately, the Corrosive Dryad had noticed him, and he threw away the remnants of the Many-Hand and swooped down on the ashes.
A feeling of dizziness struck, and the ashes were already in the hands of the corroded dryads.
Seeing that it will be swallowed in one bite, the ashes have no reservations, and they use all their strength, triggering the embers in the body.
A miserable cry filled the entire underground ruins, and the ashes were already surrounded by flames, like a hot potato.
Corroded the dryad and tried to discard it, only to have embers covering its entire body along its arm.
This fire is not like a mad fire, nor like the flames of giants, but is full of warmth.
But this warmth reminds the tree that life is gradually passing away, and it seems to be swallowed up by this warmth.
Gradually, the dryads stopped wailing, and they did not have the strength to wail.
The huge body slowly turned into ashes and scattered in the air.
All that was left was a shining flame seedling.
Slowly, Yan Miao drifted towards the ashes, gradually merging into his body.
When Ash woke up again, he found that there was not the slightest scar on his body, except for his broken clothes.
Even the sword pierced by the multi-handed monster had no trace.
Ash understands that this is the power of embers, plundering the souls of others and then healing itself.
Rising from the ground, Ash found a random tree root, then wrapped it in rags torn from his body and lit it with a fireball.
As the lights lit up all around, it was clear that this was the lowest level of the ruins that the heavily armored knight was talking about.
There are tree roots coiled everywhere, and there are many corpses at the roots. These corpses are pierced by the roots of the tree, acting as nourishment for the growth of the tree.
Seeing this scene, Ash frowned a little, is this Guishu?
So where is Ogray?
As everyone knows, the air behind him distorted, and a phantom of a heavily armored knight holding a double sword slowly approached.
