Chapter 24: Death
"Chirp ......"
The creaking and grinding sound of the cavern was endless.
Eight scarlet eyes flickered from the darkness, each the size of a fist, and a spider the size of a small car crawled out.
It was none other than Mosag, the spouse of the eight-eyed spider Aragog!
"The Dark Lord...... He's back? ”
"Boom...... Can he lead us to fresh and delicious human flesh? Especially the flesh and blood of wizards, I almost forgot what a delicacy it was! ”
Mosag greedily recalls the days when he was unbridled and uninhibited.
"As long as you are willing to submit to the will of your master, we will make it easy for your people, and those Muggles and disobedient wizards will need you to clean up."
The black-robed witch tirelessly seduced, and her voice seemed to have a special magical power, dragging people into endless fantasies.
When she inadvertently turned her head, Li Oran finally saw her face clearly.
"It's Alecto Carlo!"
The younger of the Caro siblings, she and her brother Amicus escaped the Ministry of Magic after the fall of the mysterious man more than a decade ago, and they didn't expect to see her here.
As Voldemort's elite Death Eater, her prowess is extraordinary.
Judging from the hints of the space, she and the giant spider Mosag are both second-level strengths.
"Ding"
"Main quest (1) [Exploration] is successfully completed, and skill point 3 will be rewarded."
"Whew, fortunately, as long as you understand the situation in the back, you don't have to face these two monsters head-on."
Seeing that the mission was successfully completed, Li Oran was unwilling to stay in this dangerous place for a second longer, after all, every extra minute and second was an additional risk of exposure.
Just as he was about to turn around and leave, the seven teammates behind him also followed one after another.
"Shh
Li Oran put his fingers to his mouth, made individual vocal movements, and then let go of the excellent position he had just observed, and let the people behind him step forward.
Holland couldn't wait to look into the depths of the cavern, his ears pressed to the rock wall to listen, and it didn't take long for his face to glow with joy.
Seeing this, the others eagerly walked forward, and at the end of the two novice contractors stood at the end.
His face was pale in the darkness, and when he saw Mosag's striking form, all his fear erupted like a lit bomb.
"No, no...... Monster! ”
He screamed and stepped back, but his trembling legs went limp, and he fell backwards and fell on top of Lilith in front of him.
Since the cave is facing down as a whole, everyone's center of gravity is all on the lower body, and after being hit from behind, everyone is like a rolling and overturning domino, and all of them fall into the deep hole at once.
"Oops, what's going on, bastard you pressed me!"
Holland was pressed to the bottom by several people, and roared angrily.
Li Oran hadn't gone far yet, and when he heard this huge movement, he sighed in his heart, "What are these guys doing?" ”
When he looked back, his heart was half cold, and he immediately hid at the bend of the passage, secretly observing the situation.
"This sucks now!" Those two guys in the cave will never let outsiders go.
"Who! How dare you stalk me! ”
Alector had a spell, and the darkness of the entire cavern was dispelled, as if it were day, and the contractors had nowhere to hide, completely exposed to her sight.
"Lady Mosag, aren't the wizards you want here, they're my gift to you!"
"[All petrified]!"
With the wave of Alecto's right hand, the wand in her hand ignited a strong light.
In an instant, a white spell flew towards the contractors, and Holland bore the brunt of it, and before he could react, he was firmly hit by the spell.
"Run, that witch is a second-rank, we're not opponents!" I don't know who shouted, and everyone began to crawl backwards.
Holland turned back with difficulty, and pleaded intermittently: "Help...... Save me! ”
His eyes were full of fear, the chaos of the crowd, and no one cared about him at all, only Lilith, trying to pull him away.
However, it was too late, and the petrification spell had completely covered Holland's body, and a living life had become a sculpture.
"I want to run! It's funny. ”
"[Broken bones]!"
Alecto sped forward, and without pause, a spell struck the enemy in his way.
The sculpture Holland exploded one by one, scattering into a sky of powder, and Lilith stared at the white ash in her hand in horror, she couldn't believe it was her teammate.
At the same moment, the remaining seven people received a message from space at the same time:
"Contractor 75 is dead......
In less than a day since he entered this world, a contractor has died, so what next? Her breathing became rapid, and her brain twitched.
"No, now is not the time to be afraid!"
Lilith shook her head, pulled a long sword from her waist, and silently walked to the middle of the passage, assuming a posture of attack.
"An unruly wizard dares to stop me!"
Seeing that he had been stopped, Alecto stopped in a fit of rage, and slashed his wand through the air, first sparks, and then a large burst of flames.
Under her control, a pillar of fire several meters long came in an instant, like a fierce fiery snake with a burning sound, attacking Lilith.
Lilith kicked her feet deep into the rock beneath her feet, her gaze unwavering, her head tilted back, her sword in both hands spinning.
"Huhuhu......"
The speed of rotation became faster and faster, and the majestic sword wind set off a violent wind in the cave.
"Go!"
With her coquettish shout, the wind wrestled towards the fire snake, and for a while, it was not weak.
"Filthy mudbloods, die!"
Alector's magic poured into his wand, and the fire snake suddenly rose into the air, swelling a full double, looking down at Lilith in the sky, and the flame snake pounced down again.
At this time, the remaining 6 contractors had successfully run to the corner where Li Oran was hiding.
"Lore, let's go!"
Hanks's chubby body trembled slightly, and he pulled Li Oran, who was still observing intently.
"Let's go! Leave me alone. Li Oran didn't turn his head and said calmly.
"This ...... Ay! ”
Seeing that he couldn't move, Hanks had no choice but to escape with the team, and he couldn't stop feeling remorseful in his heart, and kept saying:
"There should be a plan, there should be a plan so that no one dies......"
The picture returns to the cave, Lilith's sword style is completely suppressed, and defeat is a matter of time, this is still Alector's intention to tease, otherwise the battle would have ended long ago.
"Persistence...... I'm going to keep it up! ”
Lilith's teeth were about to bite out blood, and the fire and wind ruffled her hair, as if she was a goddess of war in a sad situation.
She glanced at the contractor who had fled far behind her, as if she had let go of something, the sword in her hand was getting slower and slower, and death was getting closer and closer......
"What the hell is this woman thinking? Giving one's life for a group of strangers? Am I sure I'm looking for a Madonna like this as a teammate? ”
Li Oran scolded this stupid woman over and over again in his heart, but the sword in his hand did not hesitate at all, he walked through the passage and came to the battlefield.
"Cross Flame"
Li Oran's black sword was horizontal, and the momentum accumulated in his chest sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, full of indomitable strength.
Two black sword qi swept over Lilith's head, crushing the arrogant fire snake in one fell swoop, and attacking Alecto with residual strength.
"What?"
Alecto's mind had been on Lilith's body all the time, and he didn't notice Li Oran's move at all.
In her hurry, she quickly dodged, but the hair on her sideburns was still shaved off by the sword qi, and a thin blood mark appeared on her face.
"How dare you hurt me!"
Alecto's chest rose and fell, and flames appeared in his eyes, eager to burn Li or Ran and the others clean.
"Let's go!"
Li was succinct and took Lilith's arm back, now was not the time to go toe-to-toe with the Death Eaters, everything was not ready.
How could Alecto let the two of them get their wish, a teleportation blocked the passage, the wand in his hand flew over, and one by one a vicious spell flew towards the two.
"[Avada Suo]!"
Li may be the pupils of the earthquake, "It's a death curse, quickly dodge," he shouted as he rolled on the ground, hiding behind the hard rocks.
"Whoa...... Bang! ”
The spell constantly bounced inside the cavern, knocking the rock walls and ground into potholes.
Li Oran was stunned and dazed, and unintentionally touched a soft silk thing in his hand.
At this time, strange footsteps sounded in the ears of the two.
"Da Da Da ......"
The two of them turned back at the same time to find a huge spider standing behind them, their huge chelicerae already raised high.
"Hide!"
"Puff"
At some point, Mosag sneaked up behind the two of them, his sharp forelimbs stabbing into the ground, leaving deep holes.
If it is inserted into a person's body, it must be bleeding.
The two of them could only turn over and hide again, and kept digging deeper into the cave, the insults behind them getting closer and closer, and the hissing of spiders seemed to be in their ears.
"It's over, in order to save you, I'm afraid I'm going to be planted here!" Li may be unwilling.
Lilith bowed her head and said in a somewhat hoarse voice, "I'm sorry. ”
"Delicious, I want delicious."
Mosag's grim and terrifying appearance was already close at hand, and the two of them were at the end of their rope......
"Ahh
Li Oran snorted, only feeling that his feet were empty, and then it was a rapid descent, followed by a long and curved road, he held Lilith's hand tightly, and the two of them continued to slide, faster and faster.
The vertigo of the fall made him almost lose consciousness, his brain was buzzing, his brain was ringing, and his eyes were full of gold stars.
It took him a moment to recover, and he looked around him as a narrow passageway with what seemed to be a bright light ahead.
"Is it an export? Lilith, wake up! ”
Li Oran pushed the woman next to him and kept calling.
