Chapter 35: Leaving the War
(Ask for collection and recommendation--)
After relaxing slightly, Li Ang found that the situation in front of him was a little ambiguous, the pit was getting narrower and narrower the further down, and the two of them tried to stay at the bottom as much as possible in order to avoid the sight of the giant creature, and now they were almost face to face, and the hot breath of the knight girl hit her face in bursts, with a faint sweet fragrance.
Leon had almost never been in such close contact with a young woman, and immediately his blood surged, his face turned red, and he felt a little embarrassed.
Caterina also noticed each other's predicament, looking at each other's tattered clothes exposed everywhere, the corners of her mouth twitched and twisted her face to the side, although she had always been quite strong, but after all, she was just a girl, and an imperceptible crimson rose on her cheeks,
Neither of them was embarrassed to speak, and of course they didn't dare to move, so they kept silent.
Fortunately, the giant creatures moved, and the hearts of the two of them tightened at the same time, and then immediately relaxed, because they did not continue to chase the two men, but started a fight with each other.
From the direction of the bottom of the pit, you can only see the spider's long black legs constantly waving forward, and although the vampire bat is forced to start retreating, it can still find the right time to bite off a piece of black hard skin from the opponent's leg with its hard teeth.
The spider's mouthparts were fully open and roared, and white liquid was constantly sprayed from its abdomen to condense into a spider web, but the bat escaped from under the spider web several times with the swing of its wings, adding a few more injuries to the spider.
But after all, the bat has already consumed a lot of body in the battle with Caterina, and even if it "goes berserk", it is only the end of the crossbow, and the spider has just entered the field, and it is not a big deal to be bitten off a few pieces of hard skin, so from this point of view, the defeat of the giant bat is only a matter of time.
"How did you know they were going to fight?" asked Caterina in a low voice, and she and Leon quietly left the spot while the monsters were fighting, lurking behind a strange rock hidden in the distance by weeds and vines, and waved her hand to Sophia, who was hiding in the distance, to tell her not to act rashly.
"Generally speaking, these giant creatures will have a territorial concept, they will not allow other creatures to invade, and they may not feel as much of a threat as the other party in terms ......of our strength," Leon explained.
"That's it, what if they decide to get rid of us first?" Caterina didn't believe it.
The old god Leon said: "I also found a secret in the clock tower just now, there are many spheres made of cobwebs, and when I opened one, I found that there were small vampire bat corpses that had rotted and dried up, indicating that these two had fought more than once in the ruins, and they were old enemies......."
"So, I don't believe they won't pinch each other when they meet, especially the big bat is still covered in injuries, if you were a spider, would you let it go?"
"You're the spider!" said Caterina through gritted teeth.
Leon was speechless, why didn't this woman praise her own thoughts, but instead dwelled on a mere figurative example......
Anyway, since the monster's attention was not on him for the time being, Leon took Caterina to spare a large circle and carried back Jeff, who was trapped in the spider's web like a silkworm chrysalis. Take off the remaining part of the clothes on his upper body and wrap it around the knight girl's hands, and then gesture to it.
There is the stickiness of clothes to isolate the spider silk, Caterina tore the filaments on the spider web hard, the strength of the second-order knight is really extraordinary, although his face is flushed, but he sees the spider silk being pulled out little by little.
"This resilience...... It's terrible," Leon said sincerely, and the two of them wasted half a day of strength, and finally opened a hole in the cocoon formed by the cobwebs, and dragged the purple-faced Jeff out.
"It's okay, as long as she's not dead," Caterina clapped her hands, and even though there was clothing on her entire palm, her hands were reddened.
"This tone ......" Leon always felt a little uneasy when he saw that Jeff was out of breath and out of breath, and quickly carried it on his back, and approached the church carefully step by step.
It seems that the feud between the two monsters, the spider and the bat, lasted for an unknown number of years, from the clock tower to the outside of the monastery ruins, and from the outside back to the clock tower, along the way weeds fluttered and gravel flew around, and the ground was full of deep marks cut by spider legs, or the collapse of the bat's body with its body.
At this time, the giant spider had two lame legs, one of which was particularly badly injured, almost gnawed through by the bat's sharp teeth, and bursts of brown liquid came out, and the vampire bat was no better, its body had shrunk back to its original size, and one wing had been cut from the root and only a trace of the body was left, and it was tragically hanging behind it.
Caterina and Leon were both happy, especially Katarina, she already admired Leon a little, if it wasn't for his proper plan just now, it would be too dangerous to be besieged by such two monsters.
And it seems that the young man's strength has broken through again, just to see him survive under the exaggerated power of alchemy explosives, and he will be alive and kicking again after a while, and now he can still sneak away so fast with Jeff, it's incredible.
By the way, there was a direct blow from a third-order professional, and he survived like a human, what did this person's body do?
Katerina's heart was full of doubts.
As the two approached the church, Sophia flashed out of the half-collapsed gate, staring curiously at Leon and looking, as if similar to the knight maiden's thoughts.
"The person who needs treatment is on my shoulder," Leon said helplessly as he looked at the other party's big flickering eyes.
"He's fine," poor Jeff was ignored, and Sophia continued, "he's just a little choking, and he's got some trace of the toxin on the spider silk, and he'll recover after a while." ”
"But are you alright?" asked Sophia, looking at Leon's bare chest, her face flushed, she felt that there was something strange in her mood, it seemed that she had not felt the same as when she saw the wounded or strong men bare their chests before.
When Caterina saw this, she was in a strange mood for some reason, so she silently took Jeff and walked towards the church.
Leon didn't notice these details, he was stunned for a moment when he was asked, and suddenly thought that the 30 minutes of "tenacity" should be coming soon, so he hurriedly asked Sophia to restore him.
Holding her bare wooden scepter, the priestess prayed as fast as she could for a miracle cure, and followed Caterina into the church.
The interior of the church was desolate, with weeds and vines growing wildly, tangled around all wooden objects. It is probably a central nave with rows of seats on the left and right sides, with an altar in the center at the forefront, and a statue that has disappeared from the waist up at the back, which appears to be a deity of the sect to which the monastery belongs, judging by the remaining carving style.
Of course, the most thing in the church that was used as a nest was bat droppings, which filled every floor and wall, barely able to get off your feet, and smelled so bad that the entire top was gone, allowing a few people to stand inside with the smell.
Caterina put down Jeff and stood with Sophia in front of the half statue and bowed slightly, as a sign of respect for the power represented by the unknown god, Leon didn't know why, but he followed behind with the same gesture.
"I thought a nobleman like you wouldn't know this kind of etiquette," Caterina's voice rang out.
Li Ang didn't speak with a kind smile on his face, and said secretly in his heart: "I don't understand, but I can pretend to understand." ”
The knight maiden ignored him and motioned for Sophia to lead the way to the altar, where a few pieces of rubble were scattered and crushed the wooden cabinet that had stood there into pieces.
After cleaning up the debris and the feces, a secret door appeared on the ground, and the sturdy metal deadbolt and heavy wooden door had been exposed to the wind and sun for a hundred years, and were gently crushed by Caterina and turned into powder, revealing the dark passage below.
"This is the cellar," Sophia said.
The interior of every monastery or church has such a facility that serves as a storehouse for important items. Equally important is the fact that most monasteries have another facility, the catacombs, where the bodies of the clergy are kept.
Of course, some monasteries will build these two facilities together, and if they are here, there is a danger - after hundreds of years of changes, it is also possible whether the dead will mutate into dark creatures such as the undead.
So looking at the darkness inside, several people hesitated.
"Fire is needed," Sophia said, her expression visibly afraid of the dark.
Leon thought for a moment, walked over to Jeff, and began rummaging through his backpack.
"You haven't gotten his permission yet," Caterina said with a sense of justice.
Li Ang didn't even raise his head, "No, he is our teammate, there will be no problem in accessing items at critical times, and if he is awake, he will agree immediately, and what is needed at this time is time, not a sense of justice." ”
Caterina choked, her brow furrowed deeply, but she didn't continue.
"Well, I know how to be in a hurry and follow the power......" Li Ang praised it from the bottom of his heart, it seems that the knight girl knows how to be flexible.
"That...... Come here, there are some things I don't recognize," Li Ang suddenly discovered this, there was indeed no time in the memory fragment when the little nobleman went out on an adventure with the necessary items, so he couldn't tell the difference even with him.
Caterina snorted heavily, walked over and pointed, "This is it." ”
Then she strode back to where she was.
It was a very small bottle, and the contents were thick and yellowish, and it was supposed to be a liquid like fire oil.
Leon casually found a chair leg that was still in good condition, then looked down at his body—tearing off some more fabric would be almost like nakedness, and then his gaze turned to the other two.
Both of them understood what he meant, and Sophia's face immediately turned red and she lowered her head deeply. The knight girl glared back vigorously, telling him with her mind that it was impossible.
Seeing that his intentions had succeeded, Leon tore strips of fabric from Jeff's shirt and tied them to the legs of the chair, then sprinkled them with oil. He thought about it for a moment, only half of it was scattered, and the rest was put back in Jeff's backpack, and then naturally tied around his waist.
In the end, he used Jeff's tools to light a simple torch, carried the poor "uncle" who was still unconscious on his shoulder, and walked down the dark passage first.
