"What are you doing?" Seeing the octopus head rolling out of the ground, Elena couldn't help but look solemn: "This will attract enemies, and how can we leave if we kill him?"
Edward just tugged at the corners of his mouth. (If you like this book, please bookmark biquge.info)
This octopus-like guy has quite tricky abilities, the way it communicates directly in people's hearts, and the kind of invisible and invisible, impulsive energy, which can smash people's heads at any time, are impressive, if it weren't for the fact that there were a few human flesh flower pots around him who didn't know how to resist as confusion, Edward would not have been able to get close to this monster. And its act of surrendering as soon as it does not get along is enough to show that kind of cunning that is equal to, or even surpasses, ordinary people.
Therefore, Edward had no interest in playing any tricks with such a dangerous monster - fortunately, survival was indeed a temptation that every living creature could not refuse. In a few words, he had already dug out all the information he wanted to know...... But when the octopus-like head rolled to the ground, the silver blade in the hunter's hand slammed and shattered, causing him to frown.
A long string of messy footsteps, a roar has followed.
At least one thing, the monster wasn't lying—there were quite a few guards at the door. However, there were many more fellows who had arrived with the Dark Elves in the cart - maybe even earlier, and the octopus monster had probably summoned them in some unknown way at the beginning of the war.
"There are a lot of them, and there are large monsters, you have to find a way to escape first......"
With a shake of the sword in Elena's hand, she had already severed the arms of the dark elf who had pounced on her, and the scimitar that the other party had wanted to parry was as fragile as a wooden stick in front of the glittering sword, but even so, her face became more solemn - the messy noise from far and near echoed in the tunnel, and for a moment I don't know how many people rushed in.
But before she could slash her opponent with a sword, the hunter swooped down and grabbed her by the waist. The paladin shuddered and turned his head for some reason, only to hear a hoarse roar - trembling, sharp, and sounding eighty percent similar to that octopus monster's!
The number of monsters that stormed the room was quite large.
First a few heavily armed dark elves, then a bunch of humans, then a dozen goblins and kobolds - the short-legged ones weren't that fast, but the ogres seemed willing to use their weight and huge feet to free the slow-moving ones.
The messy charge created a standstill as it entered the room...... In front of them was a messy hall, the cart that had just entered the hall was thrown at the door, the dark elf pushing the cart was on the side, a flame burned in the hall, emitting a dazzling light for the underground creatures, and at the end of the sight, the purple robe of the spirit sucker monster and another figure were constantly writhing, slowly falling into the blue pool, sneering and terrible screams!
What's the matter with the screams? And what about the enemy?
"Hurry up and save the master!"
A hoarse voice rang out on one side of the hesitant crowd, and everyone who had been looking at each other finally rushed up to their senses - there were obviously a few clever guys who wanted to see the form a little, but it soon became clear to them that it was better to leave the loyal ogres first......
Therefore, in this chaos, few people noticed that the 'dark elf' who had just 'detonated' next to the car had quietly pushed the cart and easily drilled out of the tunnel.
......
"Luck...... Thankfully, the guys who were accused were stupid......" The messy noise behind him faded away, and Edward sighed contentedly.
Or even more fortunately, there was no one in the passage in front of me.
Unlike the rough appearance of the dark underground tunnels in my memory, the corridors here are quite beautiful, with four walls made of the hardest rock, polished mirror-like smoothness, and fine lattice lines stretching all the way to it. Although Edward didn't know much about history, this style of architecture probably didn't appear in several eras across the continent...... Replacing the glossy rocks around him with metal, Edward almost thought he was walking through some huge underground research center, or in the corridors of a museum, with a strange sense of déjà vu.
Of course, surprise is surprise, and Edward will not stop himself because of this. Without hesitation, he turned to the side at an intersection.
"This doesn't seem to be a passage to the outside, is it?" said Elena, who was following him.
Although the paladins didn't know where they were, the different styles of the two intersections made it possible to deduce that the rocks had not been polished in the slightest. It should be closer to the area that the monsters haven't touched yet. It is also undoubtedly closer to the path of departure.
"We don't go outside. After glancing cautiously and noticing that the passage was empty, Edward said softly, "You don't have armor now, I'm afraid it's not easy to deal with a few ogres, right?"
"Wouldn't it be enough to snatch it from those human mercenaries?"
"And what about the food? Even if we run out, do you know where we should go?"
"So where are we going?"
"It's here. "After turning a corner, the light in the passage brightened, and at the end it became a small hall. Four doors were arranged in the four corners, and a small fellow crouched in the corner of the hall and dozed off, only to jump up until the two approached.
"Who are you, the masters do not allow slaves to come near their dwellings!" he squeaked and screamed, his voice as shrill as that of a child, but the wrinkles on his dark face indicated that he was a dwarf. After saying a few words that I didn't understand. He seemed to notice that it was a human in front of him, so he switched to lingua franca.
"Fool, we have been ordered by our master to fetch something for him, go and open the door!" Edward roared at him, immediately suppressing his momentum. "Where, which master?" he muttered after a moment's pause. Then he immediately received another slap in the face: "Don't you know that the other masters are out?
The poor dwarf shuddered, and pulled out a large set of keys and stabbed open one of the doors, but before he could understand, he had already been hit the back of the head, and he fainted.
"What the hell are you doing, aren't we going out?" Following the hunter into the room, the paladin finally couldn't help but speak, "This is where those monsters live, did you come here to be caught by them again?"
"Rest assured, it's still safe here. Glancing around, the hunter smiled, "If I were those octopus heads, I wouldn't have let these guys into where they lived, especially the ogres and trolls...... I just killed the octopus monster that led them, and they're going to be messing around for at least a while. But they are not fools, and of course they will chase them out immediately. Where do you think they're going to go?"
"Naturally, it's outward...... Yes. Elena paused slightly, and then couldn't help but let out a small surprise - since all the monsters were chasing outside, naturally the interior was relatively safe, especially the residence of the monster that had just been killed, for a while, no one would come.
"Take a break here first, they'll scatter in a while, we'll ......"
Edward's voice paused—when the nerves relaxed slightly, the hunter could feel something in his ears, no, actually a buzzing in his head, like tinnitus, but not the regular tremor of the air...... Perhaps it was the dizziness of blood loss, and he touched his neck casually, where the wound had long since disappeared, only the dried blood had clotted into a viscous scab there.
The octopus-headed potion seems to be of good quality. The hunter tugged at the corners of his mouth.
In fact, it should be said that the monster seems to be quite concerned about quality - the room does not seem very large, only a bed, a table and chairs, and a few cabinets, all carved in stone, but the bed is covered with blankets and cotton bedding, and the chair is covered with cushions - these things are obviously quite rare underground, if not expensive.
However, Edward's eyes were more focused on the cabinet.
It seemed to be an illusion, and when he looked intently, the cabinets in his eyes emitted a strange sheen, a soft red glow—but Edward soon realized that it was not an illusion, for when he turned his head, he noticed that the swords of the paladins beside him also had that kind of sheen, only faintly in the former, and strong in the latter.
He didn't know what the glossy meant, but it didn't stop him from making some guesses—reaching out and grabbing the gnome's neck and pushing it, the hapless creature was pushed to the cabinet with a bang, and the little body stiffened violently! followed by a series of muffled snorts! In the midst of the blue light, a terrible electric current burst across the dwarf's body, turning half of him into charcoal! The air was already full of scorching stench!
But Edward was overjoyed.
The red light on the cabinet vanished, and the door slowly opened with the impact, revealing some strange shadows, shimmering in the dim light of the room.
