Chapter 244: Underground 1
The choice is easy to make, after all, neither Gehr nor Liztasa are willing to be slaves and be driven by others if they have the chance.
"I'll go ahead, you wait for my signal. Liztasa said to Gehr without question, and without waiting for Gehr to respond, he walked to the crack in the ground to observe it, and then went down carefully.
Gehr knew that Liztasa thought he was better suited to the role of pathfinder than the "long-along" self, so he did not object, after all, he knew his own physical condition, but he would not wait outside in vain. When Liztaza disappeared into the rift, he had already stepped forward to the rift and began to observe the situation in the rift.
The width of the fissure is about two meters, extending to the depths of the ground, and the bottom is not visible at a glance, but because both sides of the fissure are uneven, the whole is gradually tightening downward, and there are many places that can provide leverage, and it is not difficult to climb on the broken wall of the fissure.
"Gehr, you can come here, be careful where you step on, find a stronger stone......" At this time, Liztaza's voice was deliberately suppressed in front of him.
"Thanks. β
Gehr responded, his eyes glowed with a faint reddish luster, a layer of red lines of mesh covered his field of vision, everything in his field of vision was covered with a faint red light, deep and shallow, marking the ups and downs on the fracture wall, and the corners of his eyes were constantly refreshed with changing data, like a waterfall.
Steadily entering the rift, Gehr stepped on the chosen landing point, which was already about six meters deep under the rift. The broken walls on both sides are already quite close, even if you don't use your hands. You can stabilize your body by supporting both sides with only your feet. Here you can feel a slight cool air coming from the deep moat below, Gell glanced at it. Ignoring what he had found, he grabbed the protruding stone from the broken wall and moved forward, and soon passed through the iron fence that had been twisted and deformed by the earthquake from below, and came to the crack under the passageway.
Liztasa stopped here.
"Shall we go up, or shall we continue along this fault?" asked Liztasa, whispering when he saw Gehr following.
Now they have two options, one is to go up to the aisle and see if there is a chance to leave the dungeon, and in doing so, they are more familiar with the terrain. Both of them have a general idea of how to escape, but they may run into trouble with guards and the like, and the other is to continue along this rift, according to their observations, the length of this rift may pass through the entire dungeon, so that it is possible to get out of the dungeon directly, but it is also possible to run into a dead end and have to retreat, resulting in the best time to escape.
Without much hesitation, Gehr began to climb upwards: "I'll pick it." β
For Gehr, this is not something to think about at all. One is real probability, and the other is illusory luck, the latter of which has never been seen by Gehr as a good choice.
It's just that today, Gehr had to choose to trust luck once.
Just as Gehr was about to climb up to the mouth of the rift. When he returned to the corridor of his cell, a heavy sense of crisis suddenly came over him.
When I looked up, I saw a huge black shadow suddenly appear on the ceiling. The next moment, the dark shadow quickly magnified in the field of vision.
Gargoyles!
Gehr immediately realized what this dark shadow wasβit was the keeper of the dungeon, the tireless man-made monster.
Violent air currents swept in. Gehr breathed as soon as he realized that he had little room to dodge.
Then. Gehr made the choice β let go.
Suddenly, his body suddenly slid downward, and the friction between his body and the stone wall brought down countless sand and dust, and for a moment the smoke and dust filled the air.
The wind blew in his face, and the fleeting cold light flew through Geer's pupils, which was the claws of the gargoyle that could tear apart the tiger and leopard, and in the most critical moment, the tip of the claw was only a finger away from Geer's face.
The gargoyle's hideous face quickly shrank in Gehr's line of sight.
In the blink of an eye, Gehr's body fell four or five meters down the crack and then paused violently, it was Liztasa who grabbed Gehr's falling body.
Liztasa didn't say anything, the huge figure covering the crack above said it all, but fortunately, this big guy who was three meters tall and had demon-like wings behind him at least five meters even if they were half-retracted, was helpless in the face of this crack that obviously couldn't accommodate its size, so he could only stare at the two fugitives who stayed in the gap with the ruby carved pupils, opened his big mouth full of fangs, and let out a silent roar.
"Keep going. β
The two tacitly began to move forward under the rift.
Soon they were following the rift and into the bottom of a cell opposite, inhabited by a few stone-hearted monsters, who had heard that they had come from deep in the mountains and who did not seem to be affected by the earthquake in any way, and were still asleep.
By this time, Gehr, who was walking behind, could no longer see the gargoyle, but he did not relax, for the word had never been abandoned in the dictionary of the monster, and the strictness of duty had been impregnated in every part of it the moment it had been made, and it would never have watched the two prisoners escape from the city.
After about six minutes of advancement, after crossing the wall marking the dungeon's limits, Gehr suddenly smelled a strong smell of gunsmoke, and Liztasa suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?" asked Geer.
"A few steps further is a deep pit, and there seems to be something. Liztasa squinted, uncertain.
"I'll take a look. Gell moved forward a few positions, following the position that Liztasa had moved out of the way to the front.
The fissure in front of him had reached the end, and it was a deep round crater, which was radioactive and expanded outward, not the kind formed by bombarding the ground with cannonballs, but the kind that seemed to have planted a large amount of explosives in the interior of the earth, and then ignited and exploded from it, and now there were still some white-yellow gases coiled at the bottom of the round crater, and the smell of gunpowder that Gehr had smelled before came from here.
Gehr looked carefully towards the bottom of the round pit, the depth was about ten meters, the bottom was black and seemed to have something, a few steps closer, and at the same time when the smoke dispersed a little, Gehr finally saw clearly, it was an irregular hole, which seemed to lead to some places.
"It's like a hole, let's go and see. Gehr said a word to Liztasa behind him, and moved towards the pit.
"Good. Liztasa moved along.
But at this moment, there was a sudden sound of a heavy object cutting through the sky above, and as soon as he heard this sound, Gehr could already be sure that the gargoyle was persistently chasing after him.
In the same way, now Gehr has two choices, to move forward and to go back.
Without thinking, the battle-hardened Gehr had already reacted subconsciously - he jumped forward, already jumping into the pit.
The sound of skimming quickly approached, and the target was directed at Gehr, who had fallen from the pit.
As he got closer, Gehr even felt a bone-chilling shiver coming from his vest.
Boom!
This is the time!
At the moment when Gehr's feet finally landed on the pit wall, his feet were violently exerted, and his body had already jumped to the side!
Rumble!
Just as Gell was dodging, the sound of a huge heavy object falling to the ground sounded, and the smoke and dust rose and swept away in all directions.
Geer didn't have the slightest idea of paying attention to the situation behind him, and when he fell to the pit wall again, he turned over and leaned his back against the pit wall, using his hands and feet at the same time, speeding up his slide towards the bottom of the pit.
At this time, Gehr took the time to look behind him, only to see that the sand had just been raised from the place, forming a huge column of smoke, which fully reflected the fierceness of the previous impact.
Suddenly, a vague black shadow appeared in the pillar of smoke, and it quickly enlarged, and in the blink of an eye, the gargoyle's terrifying body had already rushed out of the pillar of smoke, and the blood-red pupils locked onto Gehr and jumped up.
The gargoyle was unusually fast, especially when it leaped down, and the wings behind it added strength to it, but after a few moments, the fierce wind was already blowing Gehr's hair to the back of his head.
Gell stared at the eyes of the gargoyles that flew at him, and his right hand touched a piece of rubble on the wall of the pit, and there was no timidity in his eyes, only a cold lake like an ice lake.
At this moment, a dark shadow suddenly fell from the sky and rushed straight behind the gargoyle's head.
It was Liztasa, who was now holding aloft a stone slab from nowhere, his old face full of determination.
At this time, the gargoyle also seemed to sense that something was wrong, this powerful and cunning war creature created by the wizard undoubtedly has a certain amount of wisdom, but wisdom is also a double-edged sword, having wisdom means thinking, choosing, and self-preservation.
Just like now, in a handful of catching Gehr to death and choosing to turn back to defend against an attack, it chose the latter.
The gargoyle turned his head sharply, trying to see what was behind him, but it was already a step too late, and Liztasa had already come to the back of the gargoyle's head with a strong falling force, and used inertia to swing the stone slab in his hand fiercely.
With a loud bang, the gravel sprayed everywhere, and the gargoyle had already flipped over to the side away from Gehr, and with the help of the recoil force, Liztasa fell even faster, and it seemed that it was slamming towards the pit wall, and if it hit it at this speed, the Sea Clan without the strong body of the gargoyle would be seriously injured even if he did not die.
Seeing this, Gehr immediately exerted his limbs, and after adjusting the direction of his body, he kicked the pit wall hard, and his body had already jumped into the air, just intercepting Liztasa's falling body, and forcibly turning his body in the air, and unloading the momentum he carried.
Then, the two of them fell to the wall of the pit, but now the impact was within their range, and the two rolled a few times to the edge of the hole at the bottom of the pit, and rolled directly into the hole without any pause...... (To be continued......)
