Devil's Path

Chapter 56: Bizarre death

Views:

Facing those passages, Zhang Xiao frowned, not knowing which one to go.

Shadow turned around one by one to the entrances of the passages, and the small ribs were holding a thin stick and squatting next to a decomposing corpse, playing with the maggots on the corpse. The stick was already covered with a whole row of meat. The maggots were struggling and twisting their white body, looking at Zhang Xiao with a nausea, went up and kicked the stick in the hand of the small ribs, pulling the small ribs away from the corpse.

"There are people in all the passages, which one shall we go?" Shadow asked Zhang Xiao.

"Which of the more people go in, let's go." Zhang Xiao is still puzzled by the death of these people on the ground. It's always safer to follow the big troops.

"The fourth channel from the left has the most people going in, at least 20 people or more." As an assassin, Shadow is also very good at tracking.

"Okay, let's go that one." Zhang Xiao took the small ribs and walked into the aisle first.

Because many people passed by, Zhang Xiao and the others did not encounter any trouble along the way, but after walking for about a day, the corpses of mercenaries gradually appeared in the passage. They also couldn't find any wounds, and the two began to put them on. Slow down and become cautious.

I didn’t know how long I walked in the dim passage. I met several fork roads along the road. Both of them chose the one with the most people. They didn’t meet a dead end. I think this passage must be connected in all directions. Fortunately, Shadow is good at this, and has drawn a simple road map along the way, otherwise it will be difficult for them to return to the ground.

"This is already the thirty-sixth corpse. It looks like it has just been dead for a day or so. Looking at the mercenary badge, he should be from a mercenary group. I also saw the footprints of the magic armor on the ground." Shadow crouched in a corpse. Checking carefully beside the corpse on the wall of the cave.

This corpse must have encountered extremely horrible and painful things before he died. His facial features were extremely distorted because of the pain. The fingers of both hands were scratched on the hard rock wall. The bloody marks of the five fingers on the wall of the cave. People watching. shocking.

Until now, Zhang Xiao and Shadow have not seen the corpses of any creatures other than mercenaries, so the creatures that attacked these mercenaries are so powerful that they can retreat under the siege of many mercenaries. .

Zhang Xiao frowned and looked at the two-way passage ten meters away, lost in thought. The little skull swayed between the two passages, holding a knife in his hand boringly.

"The one on the left has many footprints, but the one on the right has none. It seems that these people have all chased into a passage after being attacked here." Shadow said after turning around the fork in the road.

It doesn't help to keep following behind the large army and not seeing the monster. This feeling is as uncomfortable as a punch but weak, and it is better to have a good time instead of such a long-term high degree of tension. Zhang Xiao pointed to the passage on the right and said, "Let's go this nobody's." After he said that, he walked in first, and then the small ribs followed in with the single-sword in his hand. It's not yet The intact mind didn't take the potential danger here seriously. The single-handed sword in his hand looked like a small flag in the hands of a tourist group, and it completely regarded this mission as a tour.

Shadow shook his head helplessly, and every time he walked at the end, this made him, the A-level assassin who should have walked in the front of the team to explore the path, feel whether he was a bit redundant. Moreover, the Necromancer had never rested since he entered the passage. Every time he rested by himself, he and his skeleton were on guard, which made the Shadow feel deeply impressed.

When preparing for the seventeenth rest, Zhang Xiao stopped and whispered to the shadow behind, "Someone!"

There was still no sound in the passage, a warm wind blew from the front, and the shadow disappeared into the dim passage with a sway. Zhang Xiao knew that he had gone straight ahead.

The small ribs had already disappeared in the front corner in a smoke. It ran silently, not like a skeleton at all, but like a black panther running extremely swiftly in the dark.

Fifty meters after turning the bend, the passage suddenly opened up.

The entrance of the passage is located on a ten-meter-high rock wall. Not far from the foot is a blazing lava river rushing on the plain, emitting a dazzling fiery red light. The hot air waves make people feel like standing on red iron. On the board, behind the river is an endless open rocky plain. Fifty meters away from the passageway, a group of more than 20 mercenaries were confronting the small ribs. Shadow hadn't shown his figure yet, but it was obvious that Shadow had been spotted by looking at the formation of the opponent.

"Who is your excellency?" A human over two meters tall stood up and asked Zhang Xiao who was walking by. He was wearing an alloy armor used to make magic armor. A black dragon with teeth and claws was embossed on the armor, and a blue magic crystal was embedded in the black dragon's eyes.

Zhang Xiao's eyes shrank when he looked at the black dragon. This person is the head of the black dragon mercenary group! Adrian Bandrew, one of the murderers who killed her boudoir and old man.

"Just like you, people who come to do the task!" Zhang Xiaoqiang suppressed the anger in his heart, and his voice was flat, without letting a trace of murderous air show through. The other party now has more than 20 people, and those who can get here are undoubtedly masters. If they do it now, they are completely looking for death by themselves.

The small ribs can feel all the mood swings of Zhang Xiao, but he doesn't deliberately suppress his anger, and is now eager to try it alone.

"Come back!" Zhang Xiao yelled to the small ribs, and the small thing reluctantly retracted behind Zhang Xiao.

Seeing Zhang Xiao called the skeleton back, Shadow also appeared, and he quietly stood beside Zhang Xiao. When he came over just now, he discovered the identity of the other party. He thought of Zhang Xiao asking him to investigate the Black Dragon Mercenary Group. He knew that Zhang Xiao must have an irreconcilable contradiction with the Black Dragon Mercenary Group, so he kept hiding in the dark. Place.

Now that Zhang Xiao had tolerated it, he would never do it again now, not to mention that it is not a good time to do it. It is undoubtedly the moth to fight the fire.

Geravt Anris was also deeply jealous of these two men. I brought 33 members out this time, and the number of scattered mercenaries had reached 57. Now there are only twenty-one people behind him. And the opponent is obviously a single mercenary in a temporary team, and it can also reach here. It is conceivable that the opponent's strong strength should not be questioned.

In fact, Zhang Xiao and his entourage did not encounter any danger at all along the way. There were many mercenaries in front of them. They walked without surprises and dangers. This can't help but show that their luck is really good.
