Chapter 164: Shadow of the Tomb
"Boom Boom!
οΌ β
The earth cracked, the ground collapsed, and the next moment, the three of them fell directly into the pitch-black abyss.
Duanmu Huai's reaction was very fast, only to see him reluctantly stretched out his hand, grabbed Old Bent with one hand, grabbed Gu Leiya with the other, and then the jetpack behind him was immediately activated, and the air flow was instantly sprayed to curb everyone's further fall, and then slowly fell to the ground.
"Winter!
β
The heavy power armor made contact with the ground with a low sound. Then Duanmu Huai let go of his hands and let old Bent and Gureya stand on the ground.
It was only at this time that GurΓ©a seemed to realize what she had done, and hurriedly stood up and apologized.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Mr. Knight, I'm sorry......... It was my fault.........! β
"Well, it's not just your fault."
Duanmu Huai looked around and replied casually.
"Looks like these damn rats have hollowed out underneath a long time ago, otherwise it wouldn't have been like this."
"That's right, rats!
β
Hearing this, old Bent also immediately came back to his senses.
"What about the rats?"
"Probably all dead."
Duanmu Huai is very clear, the power of Gu Leiya just now, you must know that when Gu Leiya burst out of flames, his power armor called the policeβββ this thing is special equipment for space warfare, according to reason, it is impossible for ordinary flames to cause damage to Duanmu Huai's power armor, but Gu Leiya called the police just now......... Well, then I guess this group of rats is afraid that they will die and there will be no ashes left.
But soon, under the illumination of the searchlight, Duanmu Huai discovered a new anomaly.
"Huh? Looks like this place is quite interesting. β
As he spoke, Duanmu Huai raised his head, and with his movements, he saw the snow-white light of the searchlight shining directly on the wall in front of him. Soon, under the illumination of the searchlight, everyone could see the walls carved out of stone and the half-collapsed gate...............
"Mr. Knight, what is this?"
"All in all, it certainly wasn't built by the rats."
Duanmu Huai stepped forward and looked at it carefully. Then he reached out and broke open the iron door that had blocked the entrance of the passage, revealing the pitch-black passage inside.
"Alright, let's go in and have a look."
Under the leadership of Duanmu Huai, the group of three walked into the passage in front of them.
Fortunately, this passage is quite spacious, at least enough for Duanmu Huai to walk in it straight, and under the light of the searchlight, everyone can see that on both sides of the passage, there are several rectangular pits, and in the pits, there are a lot of white bones.
"It seems that this should be a catacommodal cemetery."
Duanmu Huai looked left and right for a moment, made a judgment, and then he looked at Old Bent.
"Did you know there is a catacommodus grave here?"
ββ¦β¦β¦ I've heard that there is a graveyard of Gounod near the town, but no one has ever been there, because there are usually undead wandering back to ................"
Speaking of this, Old Bent also looked around tremblingly, not daring to say more.
"Well, that's when you build your own cemetery on someone else's grave."
Duanmu Huai commented casually and continued to walk forward. Old Bent and Grua followed behind him without daring to breathe.
I have to say that this underground cemetery is indeed very large, and in the holes on both sides of the corridor, you can see white bones everywhere, and even some dried corpses covered with skin and bones. Heavily armed and swords in hand, they stood in the recess around the corner of the hallway, as if they were living guards, still guarding the cold world of death.
"Mr. Knight, where are we going?"
Looking around vigilantly, Grua asked in a low voice. Duanmu Huai looked ahead without looking back, and replied.
"If you look closely, there must be some secret in this catacomb, and I don't believe it's just a coincidence, there must be some kind of connection in it."
"That's right............... Meaning!
β
However, before Guraya could finish her words, a strange feeling suddenly came, which immediately made her body stiffen.
"Mr. Knight, please stop grabbing my tail!"
"I'm in front of you, how can I catch your tail?"
"Huh?"
At this time, Gu Leiya also reacted, indeed, Duanmu Huai has been walking in front of her, so the one who grabbed the tip of her tail just now is ...............
Thinking of this, Gurleya turned her head tremblingly, and then she saw a dried corpse slowly coming out of the groove, its two eyes radiating a blue light, holding a great sword, staring coldly at the intruder in front of her.........
"Monster, monsterβββββ!
β
With a scream, the next moment I saw Gu Leiya's fat and long tail suddenly thrown out and smashed directly on the body of the undead corpse, only to see that the corpse was directly discounted, flew out upside down and hit the wall, and there was no more movement.
But this moment also seemed to awaken the other undead, and soon, everyone saw that from all directions, one by one, the undead sat up, they were holding shields, battle axes, giant swords and longbows, and their eyes radiated a faint blue light.
And seeing these undead soldiers, Duanmu Huai also sneered, and then took out the Thunder War Hammer from behind him.
"It's just a little annoying to always play haunted house games, so let's have a warm-up exercise!
β
For Old Bent, tonight can be regarded as experiencing all the excitement of his life, and to be honest, when surrounded by these Nord undead, Old Bent is even desperate. After all, no matter what, there were only three people on his side, and there were dozens of heavily armed undead soldiers on the opposite side, no matter how you thought about it, there was no way to fight it.
However, the truth is completely beyond the imagination of old Bent.
The man in black armor, as tall as a giant, wielded a war hammer and easily smashed the undead in front of him to pieces. And the bows and arrows fired by those Nord undead couldn't even pierce his heavy armor.
Even the girl who had been trembling before seemed to be becoming brave now, and old Bent saw her right hand transform into a form similar to the claws of a lizardman, and swung towards the enemy in front of her under the envelopment of flames, and every time the girl waved her right hand, the undead soldier on the opposite side would be completely engulfed in flames.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Old Bent would never have believed all this, after all, he had lived for so many years, and it was not that he had never seen adventurers, but adventurers like them were powerful......... Old Bent really has never seen one!
"Huh!
β
Gu Leiya roared angrily, and swung out a fist with her right hand, blasting at the undead soldier in front of her, although the other party hurriedly raised her shield, but Gu Leiya's blow easily penetrated the defense of the undead soldier, and directly sent it flying, turning into ashes in the flames.
"Hoo ..............."
Gurneya breathed a sigh of relief at the sight of the last of her enemies falling, and it was at this moment that a voice came from her side.
"How? Calmed down? β
"Huh?"
Hearing this, Gu Leiya turned her head to look, only to see Duanmu Huai standing beside her with a war hammer, staring at her. Sensing Duanmu Huai's gaze, Gu Leiya couldn't help but blush and lowered her head.
"Yes, Mr. Knight......... I'm sorry, I was a little ......... It's too much panic. β
That's right, as a student of the Manalia Academy of Magic, Gu Leiya was not so afraid of ghosts originally, but being with Duanmu Huai did make her feel very nervous. Not to mention that there were so many things that happened tonight, that even Greya, who was usually calm, showed her panicked side.
Especially the rats......... Looking back now, Gurella still feels hairy.
But I have to say that after a battle, Gurney does feel that she doesn't seem to be as flustered as before.
"It's okay, just calm down."
Duanmu Huai nodded, reached out, and patted Gu Leiya on the shoulder.
"Don't take it to heart, everyone will make mistakes, and you can be regarded as crooked, just to find clues for us."
"Yes........."
After this little episode, the crowd moved forward again. However, as she walked, Gu Leiya's expression became more and more solemn.
"Mr. Knight, I smell a strong ......... The smell of blood. β
"Then it seems that we are on the right track."
Hearing Gu Leiya's words, Duanmu Huai also clenched the war hammer, squinted his eyes, and stared ahead vigilantly. Soon, they made their way through the hallway again, to the thick stone door at the end.
The stone door in front of me was different from the others, it looked like it was locked by some special mechanism, and there were three stone rings carved with owls, birds, and bears. There is also a three-point groove in the middle that resembles a key place. Obviously, if this is some kind of adventure game, then it is estimated that you will need to get the key to open this strange three-ring stone door.
However, Duanmu Huai didn't care about these little things, he just motioned for Gu Leiya and Old Bent to step back. Then he took a few steps back, roared angrily, and the next moment saw the jetpack behind Duanmu Huai explode again, rushing forward with a strong air current.
Immediately afterwards, I saw that Duanmu Huai was like an angry rhinoceros, and it hit the stone door directly, and instantly knocked the stone door through it!
"Boom!
οΌ
β
The strength of Duanmu Huai was so great that the door frame of the stone gate was opened, and the stone gate, which was tens of centimeters thick, was directly smashed into several sections and flew into the air. At the same time, Duanmu Huai also rushed into the secret room. And the scene in front of him was also completely reflected in his eyes.
I saw that in the center of the secret room, there was a crystal shining bright red, and at this moment it was bursting out with some ominous power, and bright red thunder and lightning burst out from the center of the crystal and scattered in all directions. Around the crystal, kneeling were several men in black robes who looked like cultists of evil gods.
These believers knelt on the floor with eerie, circle-like patterns, chanting some kind of incantation. They raised their hands in the air, and blood poured out of their robes like tap water, pouring into the patterns on the floor, forming some kind of special figure.
Although I don't know what these guys are doing, it's definitely not a good thing!
"Gura, protect that guy, leave these bastards to me!
β
Duanmu Huai roared angrily, held the Thunder War Hammer, and rushed straight towards the magic circle!
