Chapter 245: Underground 2
Boom!!!
Gehr fell heavily to the ground, coughing up a mouthful of blood, and the sand and gravel that kept leaking from it made him look very embarrassed.
But fortunately, the entrance to the cave was about four meters below the ground, and it was originally rolled down the wall of the pit, plus the distance was not too large, and the impact force was not strong, so he was not seriously injured under the adjustment made by Gehr in the air.
"Liztasa, how are you. Gell wiped his face, wiped the sand from it, and shouted in the direction where Liztasa had fallen.
"I ...... Ahem...... It's okay...... Ahem......" Liztasa's voice came from the side.
Gehr stood up and walked along where the sound had come from, and soon saw Liztasa, covered in dust. stepped forward to help him up, and it didn't seem to be a big deal, but he was accidentally choked by the dust in his mouth.
"Where is this?"
The two of them raised their heads and looked at the world behind the cave.
This is a narrow square passage inside, the front and back are the darkness that cannot be seen, except for the hole on the top, the top and bottom are black rough stone walls, the whole inside of the passage is filled with faint smoke and dust, it smells of musty, it does not look like it fell from the hole above, but this passage is there, it seems that no one has entered this passage for a long time.
Gehr touched the wall on the right, and a cold, rough, hard touch spread from the palm of his hand to the hungry brain, and soon made a preliminary judgment.
"I don't know where the passage leads, it seems to be drilled out of a whole rock......"
"Well, that's right. Liztasa, who had spit out the sand in the air, looked around. Run to the side of the wall and put your ears on it. With his right hand clenched into a fist, he tapped the wall on the side of his head, "It's all solid." And at least a large part of the back is made of stones. โ
"Which way to go?" said Gehr, looking at the identical front and back parts of the passage, and then at Liztasa.
Faced with this situation, Liztasa was also a little hesitant.
The two exchanged opinions with each other in their eyesโwhether it was really necessary to go one by one, or if two people should go together.
If one end of the former method can lead to the outside, then the probability of the person who is walking the opposite way is very high, and the other is correspondingly low;
It's really not a good decision to make.
But soon, the two of them won't have to worry about the choice.
Just when the two were still thinking. There was a sudden violent vibration from the entrance of the cave on the top, and for a moment the sand and rocks were falling, like a torrential rain.
"Be careful!" Gell nudged Liztasa hard, bouncing back with the force of the reaction.
The next moment, the gargoyle's hideous head appeared in front of the two of them again, its claws slashing in the direction they had been before, and finally only grabbed a cloud of air.
Faced with another defeat, the gargoyle opened its mouth angrily, and an invisible wave swept away in all directions. Everywhere they went, the dust fluttered around as if they were being fanned by a fan, and both Gehr and Liztasa, who were in the range of fluctuations, felt a dullness in their chests and dizzy.
OK. The gargoyle seemed to be stuck in the narrow hole, and could only pop out half of its body, only barely reaching into its right paw and scratching into the passage. Covers most of the space in the passage below the hole, but just can't catch the two people who are out of its range.
It's just that. At this time, Gehr and Liztasa were also separated by gargoyles, and could not be reunited by the gargoyles.
Gehr stood up. After a moment of silence, he waved his hand to the other side, revealing a sincere smile: "Liztasa, it's a pleasure to meet you, I think we should say goodbye." โ
"Yes, I didn't expect it so soon, I'm honored to know you as a friend. Liztasa was seen in the smoke and dust on the other side, "Then don't pass it like that." โ
"Well, good luck. โ
"Likewise, by the way, if we can all get out of the way, then meet at the old blind tavern in the city of Calinaduka which I told you, and if you miss it early or by omission, tell the owner of the city, Manfidijo, whom I know very well. Let's put the time in the flower festival ten years later, when there are many beautiful kraken girls, you must come. โ
"I'll definitely go, see you again. โ
"See you again. โ
The two waved their hands to each other, turned around very simply, and walked towards the darkness ahead, to face their unknown fate, and soon disappeared in different directions in the passage, leaving only the gargoyle in the background to continue to struggle desperately, constantly trying to expand the hole and catch the two fugitives, but only brought down more and more sand......
......
Another area under the Spell Tower.
Rosy blood spurted out from the side of the blade, spilling onto the rubble on one side, staining it scarlet. Ebu Aili's face turned pale, but his hand was still stable and quickly gesticulating, and he also chanted a few silently, and circles of black and gray arcs of light continued to spread outward around him, and one of the black smoke formed a form similar to a long whip, whipping disorderly in all directions, like a living tentacle, no matter what it touched, a dark trace appeared the moment it touched, and after the black smoke whip left, a little black ash floated out, as if it had been corroded into ashes.
However, this attack did not hurt the opponent who caused damage to Ebu Aili at all, and a dark shadow appeared at a distance away from the range of Ebu Aili's spell.
It was a man in a black cloak, but most of his cloak was missing from the lower edge, revealing his right hand holding a shiny dagger, and bits of black ash continued to fall down the cloak and the blood that ran from his wrist, falling to the ground along with the beads of blood dripping from the tip of the dagger. It seems that when he attacked, Eboeli also left a little memorial for him.
"Hunter Skrtel. I didn't expect you to come. Eboeli said in a deep voice, but his hands did not pause. He continued to make intricate gestures, and some energy particles also covered the wound on his left shoulder under his manipulation. Heal to stop bleeding.
"It is a great honour to be known by Wizard Ebu Eli by my name. Skrtel chuckled nonsensically, as if he didn't care about the threat of Ebueri in front of him.
"Do you think you're the only one who can stop me?" Ebu Eli shouted angrily, his staff slamming heavily on the ground, and a dark aura began to emanate from his body.
"You misunderstood, I don't want to fight you, I'm just returning the favor, now I've done everything I need to do, just a friendly hello to you. But it seems that you don't welcome me, so for now, please forgive me for leaving......" Skrtel put his right hand across his waist, bent down slightly, and as he spoke, his body began to become transparent, and when he said the last word, his figure completely disappeared into thin air, without a trace.
Ebu Aili looked serious. After a few quick silent words, the gray energy ripples continued to spread outward, and did not disappear until they were far away.
It took a while for Ebu Ely to be sure that Skrtel was gone. I was also secretly relieved in my heart. Skrtel is neither a patron nor a mystery, more like a mercenary, who only recognizes money and nothing else. But the strength is also very strong, and the means are strange and difficult. For Ebu Ely, it would be best to avoid such an enemy.
Looking around at his surroundings, Ebuali stopped looking. Walking to the place where Skrtel had just disappeared, there was a dark passage entrance, and Ebu Aili did not hesitate and walked straight inside.
......
In the forest outside the Ebu Eli Spell Tower, a dirt road that runs through the forest is as inconspicuous as an earthworm buried in the dirt in the night.
A simple one-seater black carriage was walking briskly on the dirt road, and the bell around the horse's neck rang with its pace, and the light of the oil lamp was constantly flickering.
"Phew!" the girl sitting in the driver's seat pulled the reins of the horse, causing the carriage to come to a slow stop.
After the carriage stopped, she picked up the oil lamp hanging on the wall of the carriage, jumped out of the carriage, took a few steps forward, and whispered into a shadow, "Who is it?!"
A figure spun out from behind a large tree, and with a slight footstep, it soon came within the range of the oil lamp.
"Manvino, why are you here?" the girl's voice immediately turned cold when she saw the visitor's face.
"Why can't I be here? A gentle smile appeared on the face of one of Ebu Ely's official apprentices, a striking contrast to the expression on the face of the same apprentice in front of him.
......
The sound of crisp footsteps echoed in the dark passage, spreading in both directions.
Gehr didn't mean to hide the sound of footsteps, there was no light source in the passage now, and he couldn't see anything clearly, so he could only rely on the echo reaction of the footsteps to analyze the general terrain ahead.
Walking straight along the passage, Gehr analyzed through the reflection of the sound that this passage had a faint slope that sloped downward, so if he kept walking, he was likely to go deeper and deeper into the ground, which seemed to be somewhat contrary to his desire to get away from this spell tower as soon as possible, but now he had no choice but to continue all the way forward.
Especially after a few minutes of separation between him and Liztasa, the roar behind him seemed to indicate that the gargoyle had finally broken through the barrier of the narrow hole and entered the passage, so that his path back had been completely blocked.
But the good news is that after comparing the volume of the gargoyle and the size of the passage, the gargoyle enters this passage like an adult squeezing into a crib, and the movement is movable, but the speed is estimated to be about the same as creeping forward, anyway, by now, he can no longer hear any movement behind him, and he doesn't know if the road is far away or turned to find Liztasa.
In any case, since we have already taken this road, we must go to the end to see what happens.
Gehr shook off the dust from the clothes that had been violently turned into a shirt, put them back on, and continued to walk, walking towards the darkness ahead. (To be continued......)
