Chapter 195: Falling into the Abyss
"What is this???
"I can't guess from the other clues, maybe we will have to go into the labyrinth ourselves to find out what this Alma is......" Akali shook her head. "No, we have other things to do, and the issue of Richt Island doesn't need to be considered until the refugees are fully settled. ”
"Well, then we'll keep busy. ”
By the early morning of the third day, the resettlement of the refugees had finally come to an end, and all the warriors and the mages sent by Merlin had begun to devote themselves to cleaning up the ruins of the larger city of Athens.
But Yunhai had already thought of a countermeasure, out of the re-application of the creed of teaching a mermaid to fish by war, Akali took advantage of Wallace's excellent impression in the hearts of the Athenian people, and successfully encouraged tens of thousands of young and middle-aged Athenian men to enter the barracks and act as volunteers to resist Trist's offensive, so that the originally tight battle line became easier, so on the fifth day, Akali finally made up her mind that Yunhai and Fluttershy would sit in Athens, and her own self, Elena, Wallace, who could use divine spells, would open the labyrinth of Richt Island and defeat the mysterious enemy!
Early in the morning, clothed in the rising sun, Akali, Wallace, and Elena came to the altar that the sea of clouds had spoken.
"This crystal ball is so beautiful, if you can remove it......" Wallace's eyes suddenly filled with gold.
"It's a pity that this crystal ball is the hub of the seal, unless it destroys the entire formation, it can't be removed at all, and at that time, I'm afraid that this crystal ball will be broken by itself. Akali observed it carefully, and became more and more sure of Yunhai's previous judgment. "Come, let's inject the divine power into it, and if nothing else, something should happen. ”
"Yes!"
The three of them worked together to inject their divine power into the crystal ball, and in an instant, the crystal ball was filled with pure white dazzling light, and then, this light spread into the earth under the feet of the three people, and quickly spread until it reached the invisible end!
"What's going on?" said Elena, a little panicked.
"According to the results of my investigation and that of my father, after this formation is activated, the seal of this island will be broken, and perhaps, a terrible thing will appear in front of us!" Wallace looked around nervously, and suddenly, the earth began to tremble again, as if another earthquake had happened!
"What's going on, what's the earthquake?" the three of them staggered to stabilize their figures, and finally reluctantly summoned the light wings, leaving the ground that could be torn apart at any moment.
"Whew...... It's finally safe. Akali let out a sigh of relief, "Speaking of which, why is there an earthquake?" Elena still looked at the altar that was gradually turning into pieces at her feet.
"I don't know what to do...... What's going on!"
With Wallace's exclamation, at the feet of the three people, a huge abyss suddenly cracked, and a huge suction force dragged the three of them in!
"Hold on to me!"
Wallace hugged Elena tightly in a panic, but then, a darkness surrounded him, and the three of them lost consciousness in front of their eyes.
"My head hurts......"
Akali sat up with her head covered, and found that it was pitch black, and her hand seemed to be on a round, hard object, while her other hand seemed to touch the moist and soft earth.
"Is this a stone?"
Akali wondered what this round thing was, silently recited the mantra, summoned the light wings behind her, and was suddenly startled, jumping up and hitting the dirt above her head!
"Pain! How could it be a skull!"
At the place where Akali had just touched, it was clearly a smooth skeleton, staring at the empty eye sockets at this time, looking at Akali's panicked face, the white skull reflecting a soft light.
"Whew...... Princess Ben was actually frightened by the skeleton, what a failure......" Akali calmed down, and after taking a few deep breaths, she suddenly felt that she was too much of a failure, she was actually frightened by this kind of thing, and hit her head, the more she thought about it, the more angry she became, and finally kicked on the skull: "Damn, let you scare Princess Ben......"
But something unexpected happened, just as Akali's foot kicked the skull, suddenly from the dirt underground, a white Sensen arm stretched out, grabbed Akali's calf fiercely, and dragged her desperately into the dirt!
"Ah————h
Akali screamed, she never expected that this seemingly harmless skull would actually attack herself!
"Damn ......" Akali endured the pain of her calf being tightly strangled at this time, forced herself to calm down, and suddenly exerted her strength, and finally tore off the skeletal arm of Bai Sensen, and fell directly to the ground, gasping for breath, and the broken skull arm did not mean to stop, it suddenly trembled, and then, the skull rose out of the ground, it turned out to be a complete skeleton warrior, and the skeleton warrior then pulled a tattered short sword from the ground and stabbed at Akali.
"Why are there undead creatures here......" Akali breathed a sigh of relief, pulled out the Mo Evil Divine Sword, and unceremoniously split the skeleton's head into pieces, and in the next second, the entire skeleton seemed to have been drained of strength, turning into a pile of white bones, and then quickly decayed, and in less than ten seconds, it had completely disappeared.
"Where did these monsters come from?" Akali casually picked up the tattered short sword dropped by the skeleton, and found that this short sword seemed to be older than the short sword used by the gladiators of ancient Rome, and after so many years, it seemed that it would turn into mud when touched, it seems that the age of this short sword should be before ancient Rome, if so......
"It seems that this should be in the labyrinth, yes, the existence of the Richt dynasty was at the stage of Jesus' mission. ”
Akali became more and more sure of her thoughts, the tunnel in the dirt in front of her should be the labyrinth of the Minotaur, after she unlocked the seal set by Magdalene, she was directly swallowed by the huge abyss into it, Wallace and Elena are also missing, and now, only by taking action can she find the two of them, and find out the secret of this ancient ruin, so as to seal the gate of the demon world and successfully escape from here.
Thinking of this, Akali took out the map of the translated Lu from her bosom, and searched for it for a while, and finally found that she didn't know where Lu Dao was now, and even with the help of the map, she couldn't discern the location and direction, which was really a headache.
However, waiting means death, even without a map, Akali chose to move on, in order to avoid going back to the original point, in the process of action, Akali decisively carved special symbols on the wall, on the one hand, to facilitate her own way, on the other hand, also in the hope that Elena and Wallace can be lucky enough to see, and then follow these marks to find themselves.
So, with the help of the light emitted by the light wings behind her, Akali carefully started her actions in this dangerous underground labyrinth, along the way, all kinds of ambushed skeletons, as well as slimes who have seen countless times on the ground, frequently jumped out to attack Akali, a strange intruder, and even once, Akali's neck was directly strangled by the skeleton arm stretched out from the wall, if it weren't for her still keeping a cool head on the verge of death, and cutting off the skeleton from behind with her backhand, I am afraid that this underground labyrinth adventure would have ended hastily with a tragic ending early。
Finally, after about ten minutes of travel, Akali spotted something unusual at the end of the light—a stone staircase leading down.
"Where does this lead?" Akali reached out and touched the stone of the staircase, she found that this stone was one of the hardest rocks in nature, and now because of the iron tools and various instruments, the processing of stone and the construction of buildings have become much easier, but in the days of the Richt Dynasty, the construction of such a large labyrinth was unexpectedly difficult, and I really can't imagine how the people of those days built such things.
At the entrance of the cave, Akali felt a gust of wind coming from downstairs, and it seemed that the following was connected to a certain place, and there must be a way to go, so she did not dare to delay, and hurried downstairs, and specially carried a few torches made according to local conditions, in case of emergency.
Of course, the torches here are not made of wood or animal fat, but are made of local materials, skull leg bones obtained from the monsters she has slain, and tattered strips of cloth, plus flammable and sticky slimes, which burn even better than ordinary torches.
With a whispering footsteps, Akali came to the end of the staircase, and found that it was an underground ruin made entirely of this stone, and that her place was a small square, and that there were seven roads leading to other places on all sides, but ......
What really caught Akali's attention was a girl leaning against the corner, she looked no different from ordinary girls, but she had an angelic face, quite relatable, her figure was comparable to Akali, and most importantly, on her forehead, there was a shallow cross mark, slowly emitting light!
