Volume 2: The Storm Falls 57 panicked

There is no time to think about where it is better to run, and where there is a road, run there.

To tell you the truth, now I can't tell which way we came from. Zombies are slowly coming towards us from all directions. In addition, you have to dodge the big biting maggots on the ground.

With a torch in my left hand and a knife in my right hand, I slashed hard to make a way for me and my friends.

We fled up another staircase, and there were no zombies on it.

Soon the corpses behind him followed. No matter how we slash and slash, more zombies will come closer to us.

Behind it was a road we hadn't taken, and I glanced at Grayson. He was also nervous.

I stabbed the torch into a zombie's body. The fire ignited the strip of cloth on its chest. The fire spread rapidly throughout its body, and the fire enveloped it, but it made no sound.

I raised my knife and slashed at its head, and it fell to the ground, and another one pounced. After I did the same thing, I killed the three zombies, and all the corpses on the ground were set on fire. The zombies in the back slowly walked over, and we cut a few more back. The corpses blocked the progress of the zombies behind them.

"Let them burn for a while." I said.

The zombies that followed up followed one after another, and soon the corpses filled the hallway. The smell of the burning corpses was really unpleasant, very choking, and there was a lot of smoke coming out.

"We can't stay here, we have to change places," I said. "Hopefully, when we get back, they'll be burned clean."

Grayson didn't say anything, and a few of us continued up the stairs. Luckily, we escaped once again.

We haven't walked this road, but I feel that this road is much drier than the ones just now.

When we reached the end of the stairs, we were stunned by the scene in front of us. A very, very large hall. And above the dome of the hall, the light that came out of nowhere illuminated the place a little bit. It's very weak, but it's better than nothing.

The only six of us didn't dare to make a sound, and the sound of our footsteps echoing loudly in this hall when we walked in just now.

I don't want to cause any more trouble, I know what's going on here, I just want to be quiet for a while, and then we'll get out of here when it's burned out below.

But before I could pay attention, Grayson had already walked straight to the center of the hall.

"Bill, come and see!"

"Bill, come and see! Bill, come and see ......."

Grayson lowered his voice and shouted at me, but the echo in the silence of the hall made me uncomfortable.

As light as I could, I came to the middle of the hall, and following the direction of his finger I noticed a large circular hole in the middle of the hall.

Looking down at the pit, I shuddered. In the darkness, I could clearly see two glowing things like eyes.

Today's surprise has outweighed the surprise. So I don't want to know what's out there. I stared at the dark abyss, and the same thing stared at me. After taking two steps backwards, I ended up with a hole under my feet, and there were many ditches connected to the round hole.

Looking up in the direction of the ditch, I realized that this was an ordinary ditch. I guess that's where bloodletting comes in.

"There are a lot of sinister things in this kind of place, and you saw it just now." I say.

"When the smoke clears, we'll get out of here." Grayson is finally relenting and getting out of here, thank goodness!

"What do you think will be in those passages around you?" He turned his head and said something like that again.

"Whatever it is, we'd better not provoke it. Enough trouble today. But before I could finish speaking, I heard a long roar come from the deep round hole.

The smoke from the hallway we ran up was getting thicker and thicker, and it looked like I had set a lot of zombies on fire.

I looked at Grayson, his face angular in the light of the fire.

"Hmm." He nodded in agreement.

Before I could calm down, I saw a flash of fire in the hallway! Brighter and brighter! I ran up, but stopped before I could reach the top of the stairs!

I was completely shocked by the scene in front of me. Zombies on fire are following! The quiet zombies burned quietly, and I always felt that the fire was fake.

Can you still get out of this hellish place today?

Thankfully, the hall was big enough that we started to hide in the back. I thought there wouldn't be many zombies, but more and more zombies walked into the hall against the fire!

The way back is blocked!

"Run back!" Grayson said with a tug on my arm.

That's all I can do! I ran into the back passage with the torch.

That channel can't be called a channel in the strict sense. It was built very wide, and the dome was built very high. The vines dangling from above made me feel like there was something else in it. Because this is the only place where vines grow on the walls.

But standing in front of the darkness, Grayson grabbed my arm.

"Did you hear anything? Call! He said.

"What did you say?"

"I heard the shouting. One voice. Didn't you hear? ”

"No ......"

"Listen...... Listen carefully! He bowed his head.

"How can I have time to listen! Come on! I dragged him into the darkness in front of me.

But I didn't walk far away, and the feeling from under my feet made me stop unconsciously. The torch, which was no longer very bright, was held high, and the scene in front of him was no worse than the one just now!

Lots of bones! Corpses everywhere!

"Go back!" I took a few steps back. The darkness ahead is like a giant mouth that opens open. I don't know what there is there, just me, this flesh and blood human who doesn't have any magic blessings except for punches and kicks! I don't believe I have the absolute strength to face the situation that may arise.

I dragged Grayson back in my tug. One by one, the burning zombies fell, and they were like burned matches that had consumed the last bit of energy.

It was a relief to see more and more zombies falling.

"Let's get out of here."

"Bill, can't you really hear that voice?"

"I can't hear it, him, brother. The most important thing for us now is to get out of this place as soon as possible, and if you really like this place, I'll be happy to come back with you when we get back with a few thousand people. But not right now. ”

The look on his face was visibly stunned, and he turned his head to look back at the darkness behind him.

"Don't be stunned, let's go." I urged.

At this point, I couldn't tell where the roar was coming from. Yes, I don't know from which direction it came, it wasn't a creature at all, it was a roar from a group.

"Run." I shouted.

Grayson finally came to his senses, and a few of us ran away. But before he could rush to the middle of the hall, he saw a group of trolls rushing out of another passage next to him.

I read that right, it's trolls, and they're not walking, they're running!

Gray and pale are the colors of their skin, and they rush at us with clubs or hammers in their hands.

I was shocked, I just escaped the zombie that could go, and this time it will run again!

Thankfully, the trolls weren't very fast, but the fear from our hearts was more terrifying than the fact that they could run.

No shouting, no command, they followed me into a nearby passageway. I didn't care about being afraid, I didn't care about what else was in the dark, and now I just wanted to find a place to hide.

But as soon as we rushed into the passage, the roaring behind us quickly stopped. There was still a wide passageway in front of it, and the floor was clean, and the walls next to it were carved with huge serpentine reliefs, and there were many strange winged snakes, and the depictions of trolls kneeling on the ground and bowing down to the great serpent for sacrifice.

Seeing this, I looked behind me, and the trolls were no longer chasing after them, but blocked the entrance to the passageway, staring at us.

There's nothing to discuss, and the six of us have no other way but to move forward. The torch in his hand was already dying after running just now. So we hurriedly found the candle next to it and lit the torch on the wall.

There was a commotion just now, but now it's surprisingly quiet. It's as if nothing had happened just now.

The further you go inside, the stronger the indescribable fishy smell in the air.

A wall appeared in front of the passage, and in front of the huge stone wall was a table, on which was still a serpentine statue. But this statue is crystal clear, and in the light of the torch, it's clearly a ruby sculpture.

This thing is very exquisite, and it is conceivable that if you take it out, it will definitely be priceless. And around the statue, there are sacrificial supplies. What caught my attention the most was a row of black long-necked bottles.

Standing in front of the stage and looking at the items on the stage, I picked up a large plate in the shape of a skull standing on the stage.

It's not a plate or an ornament, it's a shield. I flipped it over and over and weighed it for a moment, then slipped it on my hand.

"Look." I showed it to Grayson.

The shield was about fifty centimeters in diameter, but the grip was too big and too loose for me.

I handed him to Grayson, "You should wear it properly." ”

He put it on his left arm and waved it perfectly, his thick arm fitting perfectly to the size of the shield, it was simply tailor-made.

"Is it pretty?" He held up the end card and showed it to us.

"It's kind of scary." I say.

The skull-like pattern and protrusions on the shield make this shield look sinister.

I picked up the bottle on the table again, the bottle contained some liquid, and I shone it with a torch, and I couldn't see what was inside, I pinched the cork on it and twisted it vigorously, and the cork moved. Gently lifting the cork up, a huge stench burst out as my nose came closer.

The stench was indescribable, several times worse than the smell of the maggots. I quickly put the bottle on the table, and my stomach churned and I felt like I was going to vomit.

"What's that?" Grayson was curious.

I didn't answer him, I couldn't speak at all. I just feel that my stomach is extremely resistant to this taste.

Two curious guys unscrewed the wood, and before they could get their noses closer, they were already spitting out.

"How do I know what this thing is? But I'm sure it's not a good thing. "The smell makes me dizzy.

There are also huge rings, necklaces and serpentine statues on the table. Their reliefs are not flattering, but their statues are very finely made. I slipped a small red palm-sized figurine on the table into my pocket.

They also picked their own loot. Although there were zombies blocking the road behind them, everyone did not give up hope of getting out alive.

came to the back of the wall, and sure enough, there was a cave. Behind it is a very large door. The doors were tightly shut, and both doors were adorned with troll-specific masks.

I had just reached out and touched the door, only to have Grayson's big hand push, and both doors were pushed open at once.

Or a hall! Around the hall was a ring of rooms, so dark that it was impossible to make out what it was.

In the middle of the hall, what was particularly striking was the pile of huge bones. This skeleton is not small! It seems to be much larger than the skeleton of a cow.

There was a circle of extinguished candles around the bones, which was clearly a circle or something similar to it.

A few of them stepped forward, examining the bones and mess on the ground. At that moment, a loud roar came over our heads.

I couldn't stand this startle, and before I could be stunned, a huge green figure fell from the sky!

I felt like I was going to pee out.

In the hazy green light was a very large lizard-like body, except for its round head, long neck, and even larger wings on its back.

I saw a green dragon!
