Chapter 56: Shock

(Thanks to "Love Mini" for a quadruple hit...... It's like getting critted --)

Li Ang hesitated, there should be no danger for Sophia and the three of them to stay in the passage, and this gap does not know how deep it is, it is better for someone to take care of it, so there is no objection.

The two of them moved in the gap for at least ten minutes, one after the other, and suddenly they came out of the wall, and then found themselves in an underground cavern that was larger than the scope of the Gray Town, and under their feet was a platform suspended more than ten meters in the air.

Looking down from the stone platform, an extremely shocking scene appeared in front of their eyes-in the darkness, countless blue flames were slowly fluttering, like fireflies appearing in the night sky, or converging into a blue ocean, and for a while the two of them were immersed in this rare scene.

In the very center of the "ocean", there is a white light that stands out, as if it is reflected by some kind of luminous object, and it is not far from the position of the stone platform to look down, and you can almost see what is going on inside.

There were two people, a man and a woman, who were facing two or three other strange creatures, and seemed to be talking about something.

When Katerina's gaze passed, several of them immediately raised their heads as if they were aware of it.

At the same time, Caterina came to her senses, she threw the torch in her hand into the deep gap behind her, and then grabbed Leon, who was still attentive, and quickly pulled him back, and the two of them hugged each other tightly due to the excessive force.

If it was in normal times, Katerina's face would definitely seem to be familiar, but now she doesn't care about this, the enemy may find out about the situation here, she hugged the other party's body that wanted to break away, leaned into her ear and said, "Hurry up, these are the undead of the dark realm!"

Leon had just been shocked by the scene in front of him, which he had never seen before, so his reaction was slightly worse than that of the knight girl, and he had just seen the situation in the middle, when suddenly Caterina threw him down. Li Ang was indeed taken aback, and he didn't know why the knight girl was so "active". He reflexively wanted to break free, but this sentence made him stop moving, and a cool breath rose from the bottom of his heart.

"! it turns out that those are the soul fires of undead creatures," Leon wanted to look back again, "but what kind of trouble is the soul fire converging into an ocean?"

Next, he noticed that a stream of hundreds of soul fires had detached from the "ocean" and began to drift in their direction.

"We've been discovered!

Caterina hurriedly finished speaking, and the two of them immediately entered the gap, ignoring the sharp stones scattered in it, and moved outward as fast as they could.

Next, the green font suddenly refreshes into view.

"Discovery 1 of the important mission, gain 500 XP"

", is this okay?" Li Ang broke out in a cold sweat, "Such a secret place, so many undead, so ...... Don't involve me in such an important task, okay?"

Besides, the defense of Rock Town is also an important task, but when it was discovered, it only had 5 points of experience, and now it has been given 500 at once, is this increase based on level or difficulty?

However, if you have 500 experience at the beginning, then the subsequent experience ...... In addition to being surprised, Li Ang suddenly felt a little nervous.

No matter what, first observe the lower shape shì, see what kind of development this important task is, if you have the opportunity, you can go on, if you don't have the opportunity, you will withdraw immediately, anyway, you can't lose all your hard-earned money!

Soon, the voices of Jeff's conversation were clearly audible.

"Get your stuff, let's go!" Leon reminded loudly before he could get out, Jeff reacted quickly, and when Leon appeared in front of everyone, he was already carrying a large bag and a small bag.

Leon took the largest backpacks from him and threw them to Caterina, carrying the rest on his back, he didn't have time to explain in detail, and hurriedly said, "We won the jackpot this time, run for your lives!"

Just kidding, the number of representatives of that "ocean" makes my scalp tingle just thinking about it, maybe even those people of the "Flame Soul" can't resist it, let alone my own five-person team.

Melissa encountered this situation for the first time, and was held by Sophia's hand and ran out together, she couldn't help but ask, "Sister Sophia, what happened?"

"I don't know!" said the priest girl as a matter of course, "But if Brother Li Ang lets him run, something terrible must have happened!"

Although she said that, Sophia's tone did not detect a trace of nervousness, which made Melissa feel at ease, but if she knew that the blonde girl in front of her was like this at all times, she probably wouldn't think so.

The members of the Dawn Mercenary Regiment fled out after the commander as if they were defeated, and it took more than an hour to come in, but it took less than 30 minutes to get out, and when they stepped on the land outside the cave, even Li Ang had a slight breath.

The two girls in the back were even more unbearable, if it weren't for the fact that in order to take care of the two of them, Leon and Caterina slowed down slightly, and it was estimated that they would have to be carried out in the end.

Leon breathed a sigh of relief, but it was definitely not safe outside the cave, so after a few minutes of rest, he and Caterina helped Sophia and Melissa up, and the group of five quickly evacuated the area.

Almost as soon as the front foot left, dozens of "people" came out of the cave, and when they reached the light, they saw that there was no flesh in the rusted chain mail of "them", but the skeleton of Bai Sensen, and the empty eye sockets flashed with flickering blue flames, this is the fire of the soul, and they are the undead soldiers in the dark country.

Among the undead soldiers stood a tall figure, his feet dangling from the ground, his wide robes covering all parts of his body, his skull with a pointed cloth cap, and the soul fire in his eyes was obviously stronger than that of ordinary soldiers.

It spun around in place a few times, then turned its face in the direction Leon had left, and came out of its mouth with an inexplicable whisper, the undead language, which was transmitting a message somewhere.

"Master, the peepers are humans, and they have the breath of five people, and if I chase them any further, I'm afraid it will attract the attention of the City of Chaos. ”

"Yes, their direction is northwest, and they should pass near their temporary residence. ”

"Judging from the other party's aura, at most they are two second-order professionals. ”

"Lord Balk is going, he wasn't injured before, and the other party is only a second-order profession......

"Okay, Mistress Balk is a good fit, I see. ”

"Okay, I'll be right back. ”

Tall undead creatures floated back to the cave, dozens of undead soldiers silently following closely behind.

More than ten miles away from here, the members of the Dawn Mercenary Group hid under a hillside, and Li Ang lay on the hillside and stared backwards for a long time before jumping down.

"I shouldn't have chased after him. ”

"What the hell is going on?" asked Jeff.

"Thousands of undead creatures," Leon still felt palpitations as he recalled the "pomp and circumstance", and even if he was hungry for experience points, he would not be stupid enough to want to fight against such a large number of undead creatures.

What's more, in that "ocean", there are obviously a lot of condensed and powerful soul fires, which represent higher-level undead creatures, which is simply a whole army! But what is the situation of two humans in such an undead army?

They nested in such a place, no wonder kobolds and goblins, the "natives" of the Pale Mountains would appear on the ground in droves, they were afraid of such an undead creature number.

"Is there going to be a war again?" Jeff exhaled deeply after listening to Leon's conjecture.

"Impossible," Caterina affirmed, "I've learned something about it at the Knight School, and if the Dark Realm wants to wage war, there will definitely not be only one race of soldiers, and thousands of undead soldiers will not be appointed as the vanguard of the war, and more suitable for this position are the human soldiers of the fallen nobles and the dark lords." ”

"There will be humans in the Dark Realm, too?" asked Leon.

Caterina thought his question was strange, after all, Leon's grandfather was a paladin, and it was impossible for such a descendant not to know about the affairs of the Dark Realm.

However, she explained seriously, "The Dark Realm has humans all the same, and they occupy at least one-fifth of the territory, equal to vampires, werewolves, and undead. ”

"Those two people just now, right?" Leon recalled the appearance of the man and woman, who seemed to be indistinguishable from all the humans he had ever seen. “

"I don't know, whether it is or not, they must have some purpose when they suddenly appear in the Land of Chaos!" said the knight girl categorically.

Li Ang also agreed, but he didn't expect that just after settling down in the Gray Town, such a big event with unknown prospects came.

Melissa listened for a long time, and she was a little worried, "But there are so many of them, will my village be in danger?"

Li Ang glanced at her sideways, and said in his heart that this little girl leaked out in a hurry, and she was really expelled from the village.

"Not for the time being," Leon said, "They are hiding underground, and they probably don't want to be discovered for a short time, but it's hard to say after a long time." ”

"No!" Melissa staggered to her feet, "I'm going to inform them!"

"Do you think that these stubborn and greedy people will listen to a little girl who has been expelled?, and that this little girl is also complicit with the lowly mercenary group that they think 'steals' the spoils of war, and they will think that you are alarmist, and even think that you are conspiring with us for the sake of the village's goods, are you right?" Leon coldly struck at the "ignorant girl".

"Then I'm going too, I can't look at ......," Melissa hesitated visibly, but then retorted strongly.

"Shut up!" Leon's tone became low, "Do you think it's a joke that such a large number of undead creatures gathered?" those villagers are stupid, but if they do something to alarm them, it will hurt more people, including ourselves!"

Melissa was taken aback, and her face began to hesitate.

She was somewhat convinced.
